He Hefum e to Talk About the Shoot
ing; or Where Ho Hah Been-Hi* Cup
tor to Claim the Reward.
Young Tom Fogarty was captured a
little alter dark last night. Tho arrest
was made by Thomas Brown at the mier-
Beotlon of Anderson street and the Su-
N-antiab, Florida and Western railway.
"Mr. Brown lias a wood yard near there.
While walking around near his yard he
saw someone skulking under the shadow
of a clump of bushes which skirt the
traok. Ho walked over to the
party and upou speaking to him recog
nized Fogarty.
The fugitive made no attempt at resist
nce and walked quietly along with his
■captor, who said that be intended to take
'Lira to the jail.
TAKEN TO THU JAIL.
They got there about 9 o’ciook. Fogarty
relusfd to sav anything about shooting
Kitffer and übuut where he bad been
Pince March 7. Ha remarked that he
was vired ol lying out and sdenmd satis
lied to get buck near boms even If ho was
to bo looked up.
Deputy Jailer Henry Hastedt received
the prisoner and Sheriff Konan gave Mr.
Brown a reoeipt i r him which will have
to he used in making the demand for the
reward of S3OO.
Fogarty was unarmed and bad nothing
his pockets w hen fearched at the jail
ex-coot a bottle of medicine. Ills shirt
and he looked as though he
had not bad a change of clothing since
the shooting.
REFUSED TO TALK.
He said that he would not make
any statement until ho could consult a
lawyer. Mo word was sent to his parents,
and at midnight none of the family had
called at the jail. Tne news of the arrest
vas kept very quiet and very few will
"know it before the readers of the News
tms morning.
A former chum of Fogarty’s said last
flight that ho was sure the fugitive had
!not been twenty miles from the city since
the shooting and during the greater part
jof the time be was within three miles of
(Savannah. The youth added that
Fogarty’s friends, some of them knew ot
bis whereabouts all the time and prob
ably advised him to surrender.
HIP IN THK WOODS.
Last night is believed to have been his
first, approach to the city. Ho was tired
and worn out, which indicates that he
has not been concealed in town.
The crime for which he fled was the
attempted assassination of Mr. Edward
J. KicfY r, druggist, at West Broad and
Stewart streets. The cireutns. acres are
still fresh in the public’s mind. I ogarty,
who is 20 years old, bad insulted Airs.
Kieffer, for which lie was lined $lO in the
Mayoi’s Court just two weeks ago to
day. About 11 o’clock lu the morning
Fogaitv met iviefter at the northwest cor
ner of West Broad and Stewart, just
across from the drug store.
THK SHOOTING.
Without a word of warning be
■drew a revolver and tired five shots in
quick succession at the druggist. Four
■entered his body and he fell, but sprang
Tip and rau to his store. Fogarty ran
down Sims street to i’urse, turned south
and disappeared. Jimmie Madden and
Walter Ham, who were with him the mo
ment before the shooting, ran home.
The City Council authorized Mayor
Buster to offer $l5O reward, and on Fri
day last Governor Gordon offered $l5O,
Detectives ai.d police have searched the
jaouthwestern section or the city thor
oughly, but their clues never worked out
eaiiiactorllv. Fogarty was known to tie
armed, and It was generally supposed
that he would make a desperate re
sistance.
MAPK NO RESISTANCE.
•it olten happens, though, that the
most desperate criminals when closely
hunted givo themselves up in despair.
And this seems to bo what Fogarty did,
juiiess he was acting under the advice
T>f friends. It is reported that a triend oT
the fugitive went out to a plantation not
far from the ohy a tew nights alter the
shooting and iound Fogarty crying and
penitent.
.Mr. Klefferis slowly recovering. The
wound m his left arm, back and left log
nre not giving much trouble, and the
wound in his boa i, back of his car, is
•vui>i>urating freely.

SURVEY FOB 28 FIOKT.

Several davs ago the Mornin# Nkws
called attention to the delay of thfi War
Department in ordering a survey of
Bavunuab harbor, from cross tides to tba
bar at the mouth of the liver, for the con
templated improvement to secure 28 leut

seems, has been aroused to an under
standing of the necessity for ordering the
survey at once. The engineer In charge
of the Savannah hurborimprovemeut wilt
In nil probability begin the survey In a

work la not as much as the estimates
call for, but by close economy it in ay bo

BISHOP QUINTA HO.
His Sermon at Christ Church Yes
terday Morning.
Bishop Quintan], of Tennessee,
preached at Christ church yesterday
morning. His text was the words ot Bam
son: “I will go out as at other times bo
lore and shako myself,” Judges xvi., 20.
Thrice had Delilah attempted to betray
her husband to the Philistines and failed.
The green withes, with which she lirst
bound him, Uo snapped as a thread of
tow is broken when it toucheth the fire.
The new ropes he broke from off bis arms
like a thread, and when she fastened his
hair with the pin of the beam he walked
off with the pin and the web. Hut the
fourth time when she awoke him by say
ing, “The Philistines be upon the, Sam
son,” his locks hud been shorn and his
strength had gone from Dim. Hut he
wist not that the Lord had departed from
him, and he said,that, he would go out as
on previous occasions and shake himself.
He could not, however, and the Philis
tines bound him with tetters ot brass.
The story ol Samson was used as an il
lustration of the folly ol men who go irotn
siu to sin, thinking that they are strong
enough to stop at any moment and shako
oil the fetters that bind them, Suddenly
they discover that their strength has de
parted from them. Percbauoe they have
yielded to temptation before and coiled a
halt, and stopped the particular sin for
awhile, but me Delilah of temptation
tries again and dually compasses the utter
destruction of the soul. From doubts
flippantly indulged in concerning religion
comes unbelief. Onedeliberatedeparlure
from the law of chastity ba9 been followed
thousands of times by the subject sinking
iuto beastiallty.
The Bishop, in closing, appealed to the
you nit men in particular to join the rec
tor’s confirmation class, confess Christ
before the world and fight the best they
can under the banner of Christ crucified.
SYTURDAY NIGHT’S l'T HE.
The liiiss Not ns ueavy as Was at
First, Estimated.
Tbe scene of Saturday night’s fire at
Bay and Jefferson streets was visited by
numbers of people yesterday. J. H.
Whitehead, whooccupied the part of the
warehouse In which the fire started, did
not return to the city during the day, and
no additional information could be ob
tained about his loss and insurance.
It turned ought though that there was
not as much stock In the store as was
supposed.
Ehrlich Bros, could not estimate the
damage done their goods. Their stock is
valued at over $20,030, and is insured lor
about $(>,500 with R. H. Footmau & Cos.
Their damage is principally by smoke to
the flour, meat, sugar and rice, and they
think it will be under the insurance.
The building whs not the Holland
warehouse, as stared yesterday, but was

ago by Miss Telfair.

NKW SCHOOL BUILDING.
The K-mrxleling; <il' the Pavilion
Hotel.—Some of the Changes.
For several weeks past a large force of
workmen has been engaged in remodeling
the old Pavilion Hotel into a school build
ing. All the partitions, except those in
tho main hall, have been removed. Tne
ground floor will contain the Superin
tendent’s offices and ttiree class rooms.
Tiie second and third floor* will contain
two very large claso rooms each,
and the fourth floor contains the
cro wiling feature of the building,
a magnificent exhibition hal!. It is the
lull size of the building, and has a very
high coiling sloping upwards on all 9ides.
It is well iit and thorougblv ventilated, is
reached by two separate, wide stairways,
and is admirably adapted tor school ex
hibitions. graduating exorcises, etc. It
seems hardly possible, judging from the
exterior, that so fine and large a hall
oould bo constructed in tbu building. Ail
the stairways throughout have been re
built aud are very wide. All che doors,
of which there are two to each room, are
largo aud open outward.
All of the old plastering has been re
moved. The codings are all of wood, and
the walls throughout are wainscoted.
The old windows have heen Pirn out aud
new ones properly liung on weights put in
their places. Tho floor timbers have been
strengthened, and new floors laid. The
main entrance willbeon the ground floor,
and a tasty veranda will probably be
built on the Bull street front. The ex
terior will be repainted but will not other
wise he altered.
The Interior will be finished with the
most approved school furniture and ap
pliances. For thn present tho mode of
heating will be with stoves, but it Is in
tended to eventually heat the entire acad
emy with steam.
These increased accommodations will
boa decided relief to the present crowded
condition of the schools, some of the
classes now being quartered in rented
rooms in the old United States barraoks.
Much credit is due Mr. William Hun
ter, Chairman of the Trustees of Chatham
Academy, Kay <fc Eichberg, the archi
tects, and D. L. Cohen, the builder, under
whom the work is being so well and so
rapidly done. The building will proba
bly bo ready for occupanoy by May 1.

Mrs. N. Lovell, President.
Prof. John Durliy, Fh. I).
The reader is probably aware that Prof,
John Daroy, Pi>. D.,Professor in Williams
College. Mass., and Professor of Chemistry
in tho East Alabama College, attained to
the highest distinction not only as a
scientist whose works ou botany held so
long their places as text books in our
schools, but as an Inventor and Dis
coverer, notably so of a Fluid which re
ceivcd tho highest testimonials from such
eminent men as l)r. J. Marion Sims. Dr.
James F. Bozeman, Prof. N. T. Lupton
and many others.
i bis Fluid, so well Known under the
name ot Darby’s Prophylactic Fluid, is
really indispensable in every home, and
if its many virtues and uses were known
to utl D<r household would be without it.
It is a powerful disinleolant and germ
destroyer to be used In every sick room,
especially in contagious and infectious
diseases as Measles, Scarlet Fever and
Diphtheria. Asa remedy in burns,
wounds, bruises, ulcere, eto., it soothes,
cleanses and heals with wonderflil rapid
ity.
A statement recently made by Dr.
J. H. Athey, of Holly Springs, Miss,, is
very much to the point. He nays: “Hav
ing been tor many years personally ac
quainted with Prof. Darby, thonriginator
of Darby’s Prophylactic Fluid, I huvo
been a constant user of ihe Fluid, es
pecially during my experience in the
hospital services in ihe lain war, at which
tun • i used it in large quantities. In
cases of gangrene, eruptions, burns, cuts,
bruises, etc., and also us a disintectant in
cases of small pox, typhoid and yellow
fevers and measles.
“Alter the war 1 came homo and found
my cistern in a very bad condition, the
water not being fit to drink. I at once
emptied a bottle ol Darby’s Fluid Into the
cistern, and two hours laier all offensive
odor had been eradicated, Bnd the water
was again pure and clear. 1 have found
it to be an excellent remedy nnd havo
never seen its equal, 1 would recommend
it to all, and think It should be exten
sively used.”

GEN. STONE WALIj JACKSON’S
HISTORIC REMARK.
His Words to tbe Virginia Military
Academy Cadets in lßflt —The Speech
Which Was Coustrnerf to Aiosn Tint
Ho Was In Favor of “Ths 151 tick Flag’’
—lnteresting; Ttemln Iscnuces of tho
Great General,
The Morning News has recently pub
llsbcd two letters from Gen. Francis 11.
Smith giving extremely interesting remi
niscences of Gen. Stonewall Jackson.
The letters were addressed to Col. Clif
ford YV. Anderson, from whom they were
obtained by the News. This morning it
gives another equally as interesting as
either ol the others, and perhaps more so,
becauso it contains the exact remarks of
Jackson which were construed to mean
that he was in favor of “the black flag.”
As stated heretofore, Gen. Smith was
for years before the war, as be
is yet. the Superintendent of the Yrir
glnla Military Institute at Lexington.
The General remarks that he writes
“ourrento calamo,” saying: “You will
understand from your knowledge ot the
daily and hourly pressure on mein my
routine work that 1 have to write in my
office amidst constant interruptions.
Perhaps on this very account there is less
studied form in what I write.
AN HISTORIC REMARK.
“I want to give you to-day one other
reminiscence of Jackson, tbe most inter
esting becauso of The historic remark
made by him at the time which lias some
times beeu improperly quoted aed the
connection misunderstood. The excite
ment at the Virginia Military Institute
in the month of April, 1801,
was intense. The oounty of Rock
bridge was overwhelmingly Union,
having chosen Union delegates
by 2,000 majority. The cadets were to a
man secessionists. Perhaps their mili
tary training helped to make them so.
Our professors were for the most part
Union inch. Jackson was decidedly
so.”
The writer tells of the arrangements
made to erect a Union pole about that
time at the Lexington court house, and
adds: “The next morning while at work
in my office 1 was waited upon by twelve
or fifteen of the citizens of Lexington,
who complained to me that the cadets
had on the previous night stolen their
Union pole. ‘That is impossible,’ I re
plied. ‘YVehave a guard here.’ They
said they had tracked it on the road. I
asked them to sit down, and
immediately went to tho barracks
and had the signal sounded for the cadets
to meet me itt my public hall. As they
assembled l never saw a more mischiev
ous looking crowd. Deviltry, the devil
try of boys, seemed to be looking out from
every eye. As soon as seated I said,
‘YVelt, young gentlemen, what about this
pole?’ Not a word was uttered. I again
asked the question with a little more em
phasis.
ONLY A UNION POLE.
Someone murmured ‘lt was only a
Union pole!’ ‘Union pole or secession
pole, it’B all wrong. Y'ou know I would
not allow your pole to be disturbed by
any one,’ 1 replied. They received my
remark with a storm of applause.
As goon as it subsided 1 said,
‘Go and get that pole and
take it back.’ A grandson of Light
Horse Harry Lee, and nephew of Gen.
R. E. Lee, replied: ’lt’s out up, sir.’ 1
was nonplussed for themomeDt. At last
J said, ‘Send a committee to the gentle
men in toy office, and make an apology
to them, and tell them to get another pole
at your expense.’ This suggestion was
promptly accepted and acted upon, and
when 1 returned to nty office I found that
the gentlemen making the complaint were
fully satisfied. Two days passed over
with great quiet. 1 was an invalid, just
recovering irom an attack of pneumonia,
and wag sitting lu my chamber about 4
p. m. on Saturday, when 1 heard the signal
from the drum sounding at the barracks.
At first I thought it was for dress parade,
but soon discovered it was two hours be
fore parade. I went to my front window
and saw the cadets, tbe corps numbering
250, runniugdowii the hill with maddened
earnestness, loading their guns as they
ran, some without coats, but none with
out his musket,
TROUBLE BREWING.
“I felt sure some serious mischief was
at work. 1 promptly ran out, and, bv
taking a short cut, headed.the oadets in
front ol the residence of Gov. Letcher and
commanded a halt. Looking toward the
town I saw an Immense crowd of citizens
moving down the mam road with a
company of the Rockbridge infantry
as a support. I could not mistake the
seriousness of the trouble, although I had
no Idea what was the cause of it. 1
succeeded in getting the cadets into
line, and then said to them: ‘YVe seem
to be ou the eve of a serious conflict. I
claim the right to command tbe corps of
cadets, and I must be obeyed. Do you
hear?’ ‘Ail right!’ was the unanimous
response. Looking toward the town and
seeing that me crowd had been stopped,
anil that they were not moving on, 1 com
manded emphatically ‘Right face!’ This
made them luce Inward the institute. Two
fell out in disobedience of the order.
I promptly seized them and pushed them
back iuto the ranks. One was the same
oadot, Lee.
“I then gave the ooramand, ‘Forward,
•marchl” and marched them toward the
institute. As wo ascended the hill the
cadets fired off' their muskets.
MARCHED TO HEADQUARTERS.
“I inarched them utl into the same pub
lic hall in which 1 had assembled them a
few mornings before 1 said to them I had
no idea what Iho cause ol the trouble was.
I only know that tho peril was immlue.it,
and I was glad that 1 was able to stay it
even for the time. YY’e could not afford
to bo taking each other’s blood while
civil war was impending, and 1 urged
upon them to maintain order, assuring
them that if they had been wronged 1
would stand by them. YVhile I was thus
speaking Stonewall Jackson entered and
look his seat by me. As 1 closed the ca
dets cried out: ‘Jackson!’ ‘Jackson!’
‘Old Jack?’ Jackson snook his head,
and seemed disinclined to sav anything.
At last 1 said to him: ‘Major, I havo
driven in the nail, but it neeus clinching.
Say a few words.’ YVhile the cadets
were still loudly calling out ‘Old
Jack!’ ‘Old Jack!’be slowly arose and
said:
“ “I am no speaker. I am a man of ac
tion. My principle is, when civil war be
gins, (B aw iho sword and throw away
ihe scabbard!’ ”
“The effect was magnetic. The excite
ment was intense, and Jackson was the
hero ol th>' hour.
QUICK TO RESENT,
“After dismissing tho cadets 1 Ascer

“Although quiet had boon restored groat
care had to be observed to guard against
another outbreak. X’rlvileges for going

“X told them 1 did not feel at liberty to
do this—that I was an officer ot the

State had seceded, and my action might
compromise the State. But, I added, X
will lend you the oadet battery, and you

Jacksonville Herald states that "a gentle
man well posted in railway matters, who
was approached upon Mr. Corbin’s visit,
said: ‘i’ll wager you a line box of
cigars that the Florida Railway and
Navigation system changes ownership
within sixty days. 1 can’t tell you why
I say this, but there is one thing I aui
pretty sure of, and that is the Plant sys
tem, or the Riohtnond Terminal will pos
sess it,and agents and officials of both syn
dicates have been here within the last ten
days making inquiries aDd inspecting
property. This same gentleman said the
Plant company want to control
the Florida Hail way and Navigation so
as to save their present lines in Florida.
The Terminal say they must have a
Florida connection, and consequently
will, If they scoop it, go to work and con
nect it with their great system and flgat
the Plant system on Florida soil.’ ‘Re
member,’ said the railroader, ‘that the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
system is In the Richmond Terminal’s
grasp, and that is only forty miles from
the Florida Railway and Navigation,
which is GoO miles of road In Florida, and
isn’t that too inviting to not be consider
ed? The Plant system want the Florida
Railway and Navigation bad, to control
that 650 miles, and Mr. Corbin knows it,
and he must see the best route to the Gulf
is via Jesup and Callahan.’ ”

WHY THEY m. 537 POBi
The absolute purity of the Royal Baking Powder is |
fact not questioned by anyone; but the questions are f r& .
quently asked: Why do not other manufacturers, also, pm
up pure baking powders, free from lime, alum, and other adul.
terants? Is it a fact that the Royal is the only pure baking
powder made?
There are three classes of these articles: Cream of tartai
baking powders, made from cream of tartar and bi-e:t;bonate
of soda; phosphate baking powders, in which phosphatic acid
is used as a substitute for cream of tartar; and alum baking
powders, made from burnt alum and soda.
Burnt alum baking powders are of the cheapest class,
They cost less than four cents a pound, are concedudlv p o j.
sonous, aud because of their well-known inferiority are nevei
sold under their true colors. Baking powders sold with
prize or gift are of this class.
The phosphate baking powders contain from 8 to 12 pei
cent, of lime, which is an ingredient of the phosphate used in
them as a substitute for cream of tartar. It is impossible rfo
eradicate the lime from this class of powders. This baking
powder is next to the alum baking powders in cost.
The cream of tartar baking powders, to which class the
Royal belongs, to be pure must be made from absolutely pure
cream of tartar. The Royal Baking Powder is made from
cream of tartar specially refined and prepared for its use bj
patent processes by which the tartrate of lime is totally
eliminated. There is no other process by which cream of
tartar can be freed from lime—made 100 per cent, pure
—in quantities practical for commercial purposes. Other
baking powder makers, not being able to obtain these chem
ically pure goods (which are used exclusively in the Royal)
are dependent upon the cream of tartar of the market, refined
by the old-fashioned methods, for their supply, and by those
methods it is impossible to eliminate the lime and other im
purities.
These are the reasons why the Royal is absolutely pure,
while all other baking powders contain either lime or alum.
The vital importance of absolute purity in the articles
we eat as promotive of perfect health is daily more generally
being considered. How large a share in producing impure
and unwholesome food the lime and alum baking powders
have had in the past, is becoming fully recognized.
Tho absolute purity of the Royal Baking Powder not
only’ renders it more perfectly wholesome, but its freedom from
all extraneous substances makes it of higher strength and
effectiveness as a leavening agent, and therefore more economi
cal for use. It is accordingly certified by the U. S. Govern
ment Chemists as tho most wholesome, effective, ttnd perfect
baking powder made.
