ALBERT KITCHEN CAUGHT
THE YAMACRAW WIFE MCRDERSR
C 4 PTC RED NEAR CHARLESTON.
Arrested in a Phosphate Mine and to
be Brought Back to Savannah—The
ftoryof Kitchen’s Crime-Tha Mur
der One of the Most Diabolical on
Record.
Albert M. Kitchen, the negro who brut
ally murdered his wife in Yamacraw by
cutting her throat with a razor on the
morning of March 2. has been captured in
Charleston, and is now in jail there await'
fng the arrival of the Savannah authorities.
Kitchen was captured by detectives at
Mead’s phosphate works, near Charleston,
where he has been working since the com
mission of bis crime. When arrested be was
preparing to go to New York.
A telegram announcing his capture was
received by the Morning News last night.
The South Carolina officers have been shad
owing Kitchen for some time. About two
weeks ago they sent to Solicitor General
Fraser for the warrant and other necessary i
papers, since which time be had heard noth
ing about the case. Yesterday the so
licitor remarked to a Morning News re
porter that he could not uuderstaud
what was the matter, as he was satisfied
from the letters that the officers had
Kitchen in sight when they sent here for
the papers. The solicitor general cffored a
re * ard of SSO for the murderer's capture
immediately after the crime was com
mitted, and this amount will be paid to the
officers who made the arrest.
The capture of Kitchen at the phosphate
works proves the theory of Detective Basch,
who said the morning the crime was dis
covered that he was satisfied toe negro
would go back to the old work in the mines,
where it would be hard to locate him. De
tective Basch worked on the case for several
days on this line, but without success.
Tne murder committed by Kitchen was
one of the most brutal ever perpetrated in
Savannah. Kitchen's wife had left him on
account of ill treatment. He wrote several
letters asking her to return to him, and
■he refused to go back, but she agreed to
live with him here. He came over fully
prepared to put an end to her life. He
brought a keen razor and vial of laudanum
along, and when every one else was asleep in
the house it is supposed be drugged her with
he laudanum and then carried her out on the
back stoop, where he out her throat almost
f i om ear to ear and let the body fall Into the
yard, where it was found shortly bofore
daylight. The officers will probably go
after the murderer to-day.
CAME NEAR BEING MURDER.
James Jones Tries to Kill His Girl,
and Nearly Succeeds.
Coroner Dixon came near having to hold
an inquest last night as tho sequel of a fight
between a one legged negro and his girl.
James Jones, who sports a wooden leg,
became Involved in a quarrol shortly after
7 o’clock with a colored girl named Linda
Miller, in a house in Bouth Broad street
lane, near Barnard. After com
plimenting each other In foul language
for several minutes, James picked up
a china pitcher, and broke It in pieces over
Linda's skull. She grabbed up a pair of
scissors, aud countered on Jones by sticking
them lntihis head, making a slight wound.
The noise of tho row attracted Linda’s
brother, who ran into the room just in time
to prevent Jones from hurling a lighted
kerosene lamp at his sister’s head. He took
the lamp from Jones, and the girl ran out
into the lane.
As soon as Jones got away from the
brother he drew a knife and hobbled out
after Linda with a threat that he would kill
her. She saw him coming and started on a
run down Barnard street, followed closely
by Jones, who, although laboring under the
disadvantage of having a wooden leg, kept
up in a remarkably lively manner. She
turned into York street lane in the hope of
taking refuge in the house of a friend, but
she was overtaken by Joues in a moment.
He drove his knife into her back, cutting a
long and deep gash, and than stabbed her in
both arms, ripping the flesh open. The
woman’s screams attracted a crowd of peo
ple, among them Officer Walsh, who
captured Jones.
The wounded woman bled terribly. She
was hardly aole to stand at tho* barracks
wnile the charges were being preferred
against Jones. Sergt. Keilly directed her
to Dr. Lai combe’s office, where she had
almost to be carried by her brother.
Dr. Larcombe dressed her wounds, and
Linda was then taken home. She is seri
ously wounded, and unless given good care
may die. The wound in Jones’ head from
the scissors amounts almost to nothing,being
little more than a scratch. He will prob
ably get an opportunity of wearing out his
wooden leg in the penitentiary, as his past
record is very unsavory, he Having served
several terms on the chain-gang.

report, the weekly reports to the public
health committee, published in the Morn
ing News, covering all that is necessary to
be said.
Health matters were informally discussed,
but no important business came before the
meeting.
Coming in for Merchants’ Week.

THS CONFEDERATE VETS.
_
Their Arrangements for the Observ
ance of Memorial Day.
The ante-anniversary meeting of the Con
federate Veterans’ Association was held last
night in the superior court room, and teas
the largest meeting since the organization

| strong, and the Bryan veterans, about
! forty, had accepted tte invitation to join

as vet have not notified the society of their
acceptance.
The arrangements for the celebration
of Memorial day are in the hands
of a committee of ten, of which
J. Gardner is chairman. The com- J
mitteo has not yet reported, but the 1
probability is that the celebration will co i- '
sist in a parade of the veterans toihe park i
extension and the decorating of the m mu- j
mints with laurel wreaha, after which an
oration will be delivered by someone not
yet selected. Bv resolution of last night’s

will occupy the same position at the monu
ment that it did at the memorial exercises
on the day of his funeral.
On motion of Veteran Charles White the
president was authorized to appoint a com
mittee of thirty to meet the veterans of
the Third Georgia on their return from

during the year. There was disbursed for
assistance during the last twelve months
SSO 25. The sick committee also urged

necessity of attending funerals of comrades,
as it is the last service which can be
rendered to the brnve spirits who fought,
and bled and lost.
The treasurer's report showed $463 09 to
the credit uf the association, and the com
mittee on constitution aud by-laws reported,

MISS FftO'T”3 BENEFIT.
A Big Sale of Seats for Thursday
Night’s Performance.
The reserved to it sale for Miss Frost’s
testimonial opened very encouragingly at
Butler’s Pharmacy yesterday morning, and
will continue until the performance Thurs
day night, unless all tho seats are sold
before then, which is not unlikely, as the
outside sales have been large, many parties
having bought from ten to twenty-five
tickets.
The Ford Association cortainly deserve
great credit for the way they have success
fully worked this testimonial, and tho pub
lic can feel assured of an excellent pro
gramme, besides the compliment offered to
a very talented and deserving artiste. Al
though the play, "Lost ia London,” has
seen years of service, and is in no sense a
new story, it will present many leading
members of the Fords mostadvautagoously,
aud with the new business put in it by
Miss Frost’s rehearsals, there will be consid
erable novelty and dash about it, so that it
will serve the purpose better than any new
play that would be practicable for the oc
casion.
Walter Gifford and Jame3 D. Lee of
Pain’s "Last Days of Pompeii” will begin
the programme" with a very laughable
sketch.

TYUBE'S CATHOLIC CHURCH.
Work to Commence Thursday and the
Church to be Ready by June 1.
Work on the Catholic churoh at Tybee
will be begun day after to-morrow, and it
is expected that tho building will be com
pleted and dedicated by Juue L It will
be built of Georgia pine, in the shape of a
cross, and have one altar,with vestry rooms
on each side. The ohurch will be 30x70 feet
and have a seating capacity of about 300.
The cost will be in the neighborhood of
$2,000.
The building will be erected at the corner
of Eighth street and Railroad avenue, im
mediately in the rear of the Atlantic Club
house, where services were held last sum
mer. The land was donated by the Tybee
Beach Company, and the building fund has
been raised by private subscription. The
dedication ceremonies will probably bo
quite elaborate, and a special schedule will
be run by the Tybee road to accommodate
those desiring to witness the ceremonies.
FOR SWEST C lARITY.
The Hebrew Benevolent Society’s
Dime Entertainment.
The dime reading by the Young Ladies’
Hebrew Benevolent Society at Masonic
temple last night was well attended, and
quite a neat sum was netted for charity’s
ity’s sake.
The programme was pleasing, and com
prised a piano duet by the Misses Platshek,
a recitation by Miss Etta Cohen, a vocal
solo by Dolly Dub, the tableau "Old Man’s
Darling—Young Man's Slave,” recitation
by Miss Lilly Belig, vocal solo by Mrs. 8.
A. Einstein, recitation by Miss Beulah Hox
ter. and the tableau "The Artist’s Dream.”
The latter was the feature of the evening.
After tho performance an enjoyable hop
was tendered the audience. The Young
Ladies' Society gives these entertainments
regularly, and from the lesults it is enabled
to aid many worthy poor people.
The Pompeii Box Sale.
The eagerness with which the reserved
boxes were bought at the opening of the
Pompeii box sale yesterday evidences the
desire to witness the big show. The boxes
occupy the most prominent looation in the
auditorium, and frontlug the lake and pict
ure are the choice seats aud the only ones
which will be designated by coupons, so
that owners of box seats know beforehand
just what seats they are to occupy aud
which they will find awaiting them, no
matter how lata they arrive.
The boxes, which admit five persons each
night, are sold at S3O. aud as tickets are
transferable parties can arrange to use one
box on different nights. The other reserved
seats are not designated except within the
space set aside for the holders of reserved j
o-upons. There are only a limited number
of boxes yet unsold.
The first rehearsal of the chorus and bal- !
let took place at the grounds last night and
was satisfactory.

MAMIE’S LITTLE STORY.
SHE MAY BE MRS. CAUFY AND
MAY NOT BE.
I The Pretty Young Milwaukean'a
Escaoade Somewhat of a Mystery.
She Meets Her Father in Atlanta
With Tears in Her Eyes and is Glad
to Get Back Home—Her Father Has
Nothing to Say.
Mamie Collins is again at home in Savan
nah. She gained considerable notoriety by
her sudden and clandestine departure and
her equally sudden return. She contributed
to the notoriety by the sensational stories
she told in Atlanta to acoount for her action.
Mr. Collins went up to Atlanta Saturday
night, reaching there Sunday morning. He
I found his daughter waiting for him at the
depot with the friends who bad taken her in
charge, and together they came back to
Savannah. The train was crowded, and
when it became known that the demure
looking little blonde was tbe young woman
who had figured in the episode so freely
discussed in tte newspapers, she became tbe
center of attraction. A gentleman who
came down on the car said she did not ap
pear to be at all conscious of the attention
she attracte i. In fact, her manner was so
quiet aud ladylike as to bo the subject of
general comment.
With those of her acquaintance whom
she met on the train she chatted pleasantly,
with no reference to her visit to Atlanta.
She was as fresh as a rose, and did not ap
pear to have lost any sleep over her
troubles. She was welcomed to the bnaom
of her family on her return, and is now at
her home, No. 04 Houston street.
A Morning Nitvs reporter saw the young
woman’s father yesterday afternoon, but he
refused to talk about the matter, and inti
mated very plainly that he had nothing to
say concerning his daughter’s escapade. He
appeared to think the newspapers had
treated him badly. He said:
“If all that has been published about this
thing had been the truth 1 would have
something to say, but so much has been
published that is not true, I do not care to
sav anything about it.”
Miss Collins was not to be seen. From
friends who aro in position to know it was
learned tnat the story which the young
woman told in Atlanta about her being
married and her real name being Mrs.
Caufy.her husband being E. C. Caufy.whom
•he married in Milwaukee two years ago,
and from whom she had been cruelly sepa
rated by her parents on account of their
dislike of her husband, was looked upon as
o fiction, gotten up with the hope of de
ceiving the police. Had she been able to
show any evidence of her marriage the
police could not have held her, Bhe being of
legal ago.
The Constitution describes the meeting
between fattier aud daughter in Atlanta as
most affecting. The daughter acknowl
edged that her great love for her husband
had induced her to leave her parents in
Savannah and to try and rejoin him in
Milwaukee. But nt tho same time she
acknowledged her deep sense of duty to her
parents, and an appreciation of their kind
treatment and loving solicitude for her wel
fare. Mr. Collins corroborated the story
of his daughter’s marriage in every partic
ular. He spoke of the treatment she bad
received at the hands of her husband, to
ward whom he could have but one feeling,
that of supreme contempt. To him the
idea of allowing his daughter to again fall
into tho hands of the man who had so cru
elly injured her was unbearable. What the
treatment of his daughter was he did
not say.

The same horses entered in the 2:35 class
on Monday are entered in the free-for-all
trotting and pacing on Wednesday for a
purse of $250.
Savannah is well represented, but how it
will show up is a question that the Judges
will have to decide. Most of the homo
entries are familiar to the talent, except
the pacer entered by Jim Furlong. Jim, it
is thought, has slipped in a flyer. No one
knows anything about him, and Furlong
gives a queer smile whenever he is asked
about the horse.
The colors will be given in full in the
official programme furnished by Manager
Dowling. The entries to the running races
will appear later in the week. A number
of entries to the harness races, sent by tele
graph, were rejected by the manager on
account of not having been made in accord
ance with the published conditions.
The Merchants’ week committee and Man
ager Dowling have effectively advertised
tho meeting, and the arrangement that has
been made for the free transportation to the
park has proved a great drawing card. Mr.
Dowling will have ample accommodations
for all the ladles who wish to attend. In
aldltlonto the line of wagons already en
gaged. he has made an arrangement with
E. C. Gleason for a number of 'busses aud
express wagons to run a speoial schedule to
the park.

Tho Knights of Pythias Grand lodge
Not to Be" C.tanged.
The Savannah Kuights of Pythias are
stirred up as much over the reported action
of Grand Chancellor Carling in announcing
a change in the place of meeting of the
grand lodge as they were over the announce
ment itself.
The grand chancellor was reported in’the
Morning News yesterday as having
changed tho place of meeting from Bruns
wick to some point to be decided upon. It
was stated he had written Grand Keeper
of Records James Naylor and
Grand Vice Chancellor W. T. Leopold
of Savannah and other officers of the grand
lodge asking their preference for Augusta,
Macon or Atlanta for holding the meeting.
Mr. Nayior aud Mr. Leopold said yester
day they have heard nothing from the
grand chancellor, and they are at a loss to
understand tho meaning of what is re
ported concerning his action.
The grand lodge by resolution must meet
In Brunsvrick, unless it decides to|meet else
where, an and only in case of an epidemic or
a similar emergency has the Rrand chan
cellor authority to change the place
of meeting. No such emergency has arisen
and the lurige w ill therefore meet in Bruns
wick the third Tuesday in May.
Savannah has 700 Knights of Pythias,
and it wBl send a full delegation. The
lodges heno are entitled to eight delegates
in the gravid ledge. The two uniformed
divisions expect to go with full ranks to
participate in the drills, and, with the visit
ing delegations from the lodges, will make
ud a larger number of Knights than ever
before attended any grand lodge.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
A STIR IN Cll'B CIRCLES.
IHS CITY NOTIFIES TEE CLUI S TO
TAX3 OUT LICENSES.
The Saloonkeepers Want to Ereak
Down the Sun day Ordinance and Are
Trying to Do It Through the Clubs.
The Matter to Be Carred to the
Courts.
There is considerable stir in olub circles
over the notion of the city yesterday in
notifying the club* that they must take out
saloon licenses. It is not so much the S2OO
that the clubs would have to pay for the
license as it is being put on a plane with the
ordinary saloon that Is causing the stir.
It is understood that some of the saloon
keepers are back of the club matter. They
want to break down the Suuday ordinance
if they can, and are endeavoriug by press
ing it upon the clubs to create a sentiment
which will result in its indifferent enforce
ment. The corner saloon men are the
heaviest losers by the Sunday closing.
Since the Sunday law has been enforced
their business has fallen off greatly, and
they are anxious for a return to old times.
The Oglethorpe club held a meeting last
night and appointed a committee to take
charge of the license matter. Of course the
club will refuse to take out a license, and it
will carry the fight to the supreme court.
There the question will have
to be decided whether a club
comes under the saloon law and can becom
pellad to take out a local license. The case
is not anew one. It has been tested in sov
eral states. In some, the supreme court has
decided against the clubs, and in other
states the decisions have been in their favor.
There are half a dozori or mere clubs in
Savannah which will come under the ruling
of the court. If they are compelled to
have licenses they will have to close up
Sundays, and will be subject to the same
law as the saloons.
