FOLI.OWIXG THE CLEWS.
WORE EVIDENCE CONCERNING THE
BEAULIEU MYSTERY,
Tho Woman Traced Back to Charles
ton, from Whence She Hailed-Others
Testify to Seeing the Suspicious Pair
—The Negro Seen in Savannah.
The investigation of the Beaulieu mystery
Is slowly bringing out the facts in connec
tion with the jiair who are supposed to bo
the two principal actors in ih<- tragixiy en
acted a short while ago. It was learned
yesterday that the negro man had been Ht
Isle of Hope on Aug. 13, and while there be
tried to hire a t-vat from Mrs. Moll. He
took a train later in the day and came to the
city. It seems also that the woman who
disappeared With him was in the vicinity
longer than was supposed, for Mrs.
Mell remembers that she worked
for her for four days prior to
Sunday. Aug. 31. the date when she made
her first appearance at Virginia Harris’. <)n
Saturday nig’it, \ug. S, Mrs. Mell dis-
charged'iwr, and it w as then that she sought
shelter wilh the Harris woman, who at the
time.claimed to have known her previously,
but who now denies that she had ever seen
her, or that the woman ever staid in her
bouse.
An intimation was given of the way in
which the woman probably got to Isle of
Hope. If the story is true she was living in
a house of questionable character in Charles
ton, and there met the captain of a fishing
smack. The captain was somewhat smit
ten with the doubtful charms of the soiled
dove, and, while in a state of intoxiea
tion, he married her, and, taking
her aboard his boat., sailed away
■with her. He touched at several points
along this coast, and at every one of them
ho tried to get rid of his bride, but she re
fused to leave him. His sloop was driven
aground at Montgomery, and Imth himself
and his wife left and came ashore. He
started for Savannah to obtain funds to put
the boat in shape, and she remained at
Montgomery. He returned to Mont
fjoniery, and after he got his
oat afloat he sailed away,
bnt the woman was not with him nor has
she been seen at Montgomery since. It is
thought that she made her way to Isle of
Hope, and that her career there is the one
told of the woman supposed to have
been murdered. The dates correspond,
the sloop having arrived at Montgomery
about Aug. 15. The woman was from
Charleston, and that bears out the story
of Annie, who stated that she was from
that city. The fact, also, that she gave no
other name indicates 1 hat she was nf the class
from which the captain took his bride.
The statement of Mi's. Mell that the
negro man who answers the description
given appeared at Isle of Hope
Within a few days of the arrival of the
woman, then disappeared and returned a
short time later, and finally departed with
the woman, aeeni to point suspicion ugainst
tiim ■ -y str •>#”, and the people of the
vicii think that the evidence
against him is strong enough
to warrant putting an officer
on his track. A letter from Dr. Dupon to
the Morning News urged that a detective
be sent out at once, for the Doctor is of the
opinion that the man can be caught. The
iDoctor desires to confront him with those
Whose statements were given yester
day and then demand of him tho woman
with whom he was last seen.
A number of the builders of the
city were seen yesterday and osbfed if they
knew of such a negro carpente us this man
is said to be, and while several of them re
membered having seen such an one, they
could not locate him, or say who he was. It
seemed (Certain, however, that the man who
disappeared with the woman has been in
tjavaunali, if he is not here now.
THE MINSTRELS TO-NIGHT.
■Wilson and Rankin Open the Season at
the Savannah Theatre.
Doubtless the Savannah theatre will be
packed to-niglit to witness Wilson and
Rankin's grand minstrel performance. The
performance has been varied somewhat
from the accustomed routine. Instead of
the usual first part the curtain rises upon a
garden scene, and the minstrels are intro
duced whenever it is convenient. When
the entire party is assembled upon tho stage
the regular programme of songs and jokes
follows. The innovation seems to be sat
isfactory to the audience, and will probably
be perpetuated by George Wilson, who is,
of course, the master spirit of the company
Luke Schoolcraft is the other comedian of
the show, and adds a great deal of strength
to it. He is a funny man of the hearty,
boisterous type, and his vociferous style ami
ready wit rarely fail to produce a laugh.
The ending of the first paid, where Wilson
and Schoolcraft go up in a balloon and see
Niagara Falls. Brooklyn Bridge, the Capitol
and other places of note, is a departure from
old business. The songs are all new and
fresh, ami very enjoyable, the comic ones
being jmrticularly good. “Willie Buffalo's!
Wildest West” is a burlesque of the first I
water, and brings down the house every
time. Seats for sale at Davis Bros. ’ The
company will parade to-day.
AN ELABORATE INVITATION.
The Grand Excursion of the General
Passenger and Ticket Agents.
A prominent . <Broad official has just re
ceived an invitation to participate in the
complimentary excui-sion to lie given to the
General Passenger and Ticket Agents, by

an exquisite representation of a locomotive.
On the back two pieces of green satin rib

four companies in red wax. The book con
tains pictures of the officers of the associa
tion, excellently done, gml also cuts of St.
Paul, Duluth, the Kalis of Minnehaha and
other places. The work is beautiful, and
it is an Invitation to an excursion tliat will
be as delightful as the book is pretty.
A PARDON ASKED.
A Petition for the Release of a Would
bo Murderer.
A petition has been received by tho Gov
ernor for the pardon of K. B. Turner, con
victed some time ago in Chatham Superior
Court of assault with intent to murder.
Turner has been in the penitentiary some
time, and has iieen confined at the Old Town
rump, where lie fins made a good record for
worn and behavior. The petition is a strong
one, being signed by a huge numlier of the
jurors who convicted Turner of the crime,
ned was joints I and subscribed to liy many
others, some of whom are prominent anti
influential, on the ground that the mail has
been sufficiently punished for the crime. No
action has lieeii taken ill tho ease as yet, ami
It is not known what the Governor will do.
Those familiar with the case declare it is
one for executive clemency.

BOUND FOR ATLANTA.
Prospects That Savannah’s Crack Mili
tary Corps Will Attend the Fair.
The Savannah Volunteer Guards held
their regular monthly meeting Monday
night last. As it was known that the ques
tion of attending the Piedmont Fair would
come up, a very large attendance was had,
as tho “boys” all desire to take in the
exposition. Mr. H. W. Grady’s letter was
read, inviting the corps to be present and
participate in the ceremonies. The question
was discussed and finally it was decided to
attend if eighty members or more would
bind themselves to go. After the meeting
tho officers circulates! among the boys and
some thirty signed at, once. Others signed
yesterday, and fully sixty have agreed to
make the trip. There is no doubt but that
the full numlier, or more, will be
easily secured. Drilling will begin at once
and the boys say they propose maintaining
the reputation of the Forest Cjty military
organizations. Col. Garrard will return
soon and his energy aud ardor in the work
will lie percept ible. The First regiment corn
panies all are in favor of going if enough
members can secure leaves of absence from
their business. Thirty men will lie secured
from the Jasper Greens. The .Savannah
Cadets, the Bines and the German Volun
teers will certainly send a representation.
Tho Chathams, Ifussars una (Iglethorpes
will decide at once regarding the invitation.
It is a had season of the year for the men to
leave their business, but it is thought
enough can go to make a fair representa
tion for Savannah.
Last night Gov. Gordon and party left
Atlanta for the Philadelphia Constitutional
Exposition. The Atlanta Rifles accom
panied the Goyernor as a sjiecial escort.
The Rifles will be the only military com
pany that will attend from Georgia. The
company was composed of forty men. Gov.
Gordon made personal appeals to the em
ployers of each young man in business
requesting ns a patriotic duty that the young
men be allowed leave of absence for the
trip. In almost, every instance was the per
mission granted, showing well for the spirit
of the Atlanta business met.. If the Snvnn
nah employers do as well a good representa
tion will go from the Forest City to the
Piedmont Exposition.
SHE SET FIRE TO THE HAT RACK.
The Experience of Some of Col. Clif
ton's Friends in Savannah.
It is an op'ii secret that Col. William Clif
ton has his weather eye on the seat now oc
cupied by Congressman Tom Norwood.
Col. Clifton thinks there is no affinity be
tween the seat and Col. Norwood, but he is
laboring under the impression that ho has
been built to fit it exactly. For that rea
son Col. Clifton and his country friends are
on tho best of terms, and the Colonel in
sisted on one of the “movers” in the country
coming to Savannah to have a good time.
The mover camo with his daughter, and
Col. Clifton stowed them away at the Scre
ven House. When the mover went to his
room lie took off a brand new silk hat that
Col. Clifton had presented to him, and hung
it on the gas bracket. A few hours Inter
tho mover's daughter was sitting in. his
room in conversation with her loving
“pappy,” and the chambermaid enteral to
light the gas. The chambermaid carefully
removed the tilo, and turning oil tho gas,
applied the match. The daughter became
excited, and she loudly exclaimed: “Oh,
pappy, pappy! Look at that woman! She’s
setting fire to the hut rack.” Just at that
moment Col. Clifton entered, and ho pro
ceeded to tell the rustic pair the difference
between tho systems of lighting iu Savan
nah aud Washington.
RIVER WATER IN USE.
It Will Make up a Deficiency Until
New Wells are Bored.
It was noticed yesterday that the water
was very much discolored, and Supt. Miller
was asked why tho river water was turned
in for it was evident that it had been.
Ho stated that it was liecause the
artesian supply may not be equal to a possi
ble demand. The wells lire flowing about
(1,000,000 gallons per day Driving that
through tho mains lnaintalnee a pressure of
but 38 to 40 pounds while in ease of a big
fire a pressure of 45 pounds would lie abso
lutely necessary, and there should lie from
40 to 4S pounds. To create such a pressure it
is necessary to supply 0,500,000 gallons, and
tho difference must be made up from the
river. This amoutt of river water will be
used every day from now out, until three or
four more wells are bored.
Wanamaker on Advertising.
John Wanamaker, the great l’hiladelphia
merchant, recently spoko as follows about
advertising:
“I never in my life used such a thing as a
poster, or dodger, or hand bill. My plan
for fifteen years has been to buy so" much
space in a newspaper and fill it up with
what I wanted. I would not give an adver
tisement in u newsjsqxT of 400 circulation
for 5,000 dodgers or posters. If I wanted to
sell cheap jewelry or run a lottery scheme I
might use posters, but I would not insult a
decent reading public with handbills. Tho
class of jieople who read such tilings are
poor material to look to for support in mer
cantile affairs. I deal directly with the pub
lisher. I say to him: ‘How long will you
let mo run a column of matter through your
paper for #IOO. or SSOO, us the ease may be.
I let him do the figuring, and if 1 think lie
is not trying to take more than his share I
give him the copy. I lav aside the profits
on a particular line of goods for advertising
purposes. The first year I laid aside $5,000;
last year I laid aside and spent $40,000. I
have done better this year, and shall in
crease that sum as the profits warrant it. 1
owe my success to the lu.'wsimpcrs. and to
them f shall freely give a certain profit of
my yearly business.

Mr. O’Connor’s Reply.
Editor Morning News: I cravo space in
your paper to say another word in respect
to the Barnwell-Barrtett matter: I repeat
that I simply drew four bonds for Mrs.
Barnwell and did not undertake to repre
sent her in any other matter whatever, nor
did I ever receive from her a fee or promise
of a fee in any other matter. Drawing
bonds is one thing and representing a party
in court Is quite a different thing. Mr. Bar
dett paid mo 8:21 50 and promised to pay
me $3 50 more to represent him in the case
commenced against, him. My fee was $35.
I am at Mr. Bardett’s pleasure for nn in
vestigation whenever one cah be had, if such
can or will be. Let us wait.

friends of the Midland are legion and are
working day and night, seeking by every
honorable means to obtain three fourths of
the votes cast, the number necessary to
carry the county for the new road. Meet

Havo an Olf Day.
New Orleans, La., Sept. 13. —New
Orleans hit hard enough to-day to win two
games, but the worst sort of ball playing by
Ktusman, Aydelotte and Pujol lost the
game. Birmingham fielded beautifully,
and Burks, Haves and Duffee did phenome
nal work, robbing New Orleans of hit after
hit. Notwithing this, Vaughn and Cam
pau’s homo runs, McVey’s three-bagger
and Cnmpau’s double, with tho other hits
and good liase running kept the locals
climbing up. Aydelotte couldn’t pitch,
c&ildn’t hit, cotifcjn’t field and couldn’t
watch liases. Pujol misjudged two long
hits hv Duffee, and Klusuian played the
worst third base sum this season. These

WHY SHOULD A MAN DIR?
A “Christian Scientist” Who Has
Learned How to Live Forever.
From the New York Tribune.
In the latter part of February last Joseph
Mann, of Broad Brook, Conn., was acci
dentally shot throngh the left lung with a
pistol liall, the ball coming out at the l>ack.
His life was despaired of and the family had
gathered to see him die. R. C. Hannon, a
"Christian scientist'’from Boston, was called
to attend the wounded man. The moment
he entered the room Mr. Mann began to
show signs of recuperation, and in a few
days he was completely recovered. He is
now studying the Christian science art of
healing. Mr. Hannon, who is a j r oung man,
says that he was cured of cancer in the
chest, tumor in the stomach and Bright’s
disease "all at one swoop” by Mrs. Mary
Barker G. Eddy, the founder of the Chris
tian Scientist School in Boston. He says of
his teaching;
“We have reduced the matter to a science
and apply it to every-day life. We do not
teach how to die, but how to live. That is
far better, isn’t it? To know that you shall
not die, that you have not to suffer unless
you choose, that you need not lose your
children and dear ones—isn’t all this pre
ferable to the present reign of the worldly
idea?”
He bases his idea of living forever and
without disease on the Scriptures, that
while “in Adam we all die, so in Christ we
are all made alive,” and contends that the
Christian scientists are now living under
the revelation of St. John the Divine, xii., 1:
“And a great sign was seen in heaven, a
woman arrayed with the sun and the moon
under her feet, and upon her head a crown
of twelve stars.” The Christian science
healing has nothing to do with mind cure
or faith cure.
In broken limb cases Mr. Hannon usually
calls a surgeon to reduce its fracture, but
this he does not because it is necessary, but
to “ease the patient’s mind. We are bound
down so by old beliefs that we cannot
escape the conclusion that something must
be gone through with,” although he has
“studied” a broken limb to recovery with
out a setting. The excitement which Mr.
Hannon’s cures have produced in Hartford
county is very great,, and tracts and books
on the subject of healing by believing are
in great demand. Patients learn the science
so as to cure themselves.
The Carlin-Dupree Wedding.
Prion the St. Paul Globe.
The Carlin-Dupree wedding, that took
place Saturday on the Cheyenne River,
sixty miles northwest of Pierre, Dak., was
the great event of the season, as it was the
first time in the history of that section of
the country that a white man of note has
married a squaw. The groom, Douglas
Carlin, is a grandson of Territorial Governor
Carlin of Illinois, and is the nephew of Col.
Carlin of the regular armv. The bride is
the daughter of Frederick Dupree, a French
half breed. Her mother is the queen of the
Minneconjou band of Sioux. The ceremony
was performed by justice Kinnie in the
presence of 1,000 Sioux Intians and 30
whites. After the American ceremony was
performed, an old squavi came from "a hut
and chanted a dismal song as an indication
that the Indians were satisfied. The medi
cine man of the Sioux then, with his head
covered with a buffalo rolie, burned herbs
and invoked the blessing of the Great Spirit,
after which two Indians rode white ponies
across the plains and presented them to the
bride and groom as the approval of the
Great Spirit. The feast then commenced,
which consisted of ten oxen roasted whole
and 100 dogs boiled into soup. The latter
was not sampled by the whites. The presents
made from the father were 500 cattle,
fifty ponies, and thirty domestic buffaloes.
Dancing was commenced and kept up three
days without intermission. As fast as one
Indian was exhausted another took his
place, and the ball went on. The bride is
an ordinary looking squaw, with no edu
cation. She was clad In a robe of black
silk, with beaver fur trimmings, red rib
bons and oik teeth ornaments. She does
not look striking but is regarded as a great
catch, as she is reported to be worth 310,000
in her own right, and is the heiress to the
Dupree estate and 800,000 in cash and other
securities. The Indians now regard it a
great honor for a white man to marry a
squaw. In this case they are greatly pleased,
rejoicing going on throughout tne entire,
bounds of the reservation.
