RYAN’CASE PAPERS GONE.
T3E THEFT FAILS TO BENEFIT TBH
PRISONER.
A Supposition Tbat a Friend Took
Them In the Belief That He Would
Help the Accused— Another Theory
Advances the Idea That an Enemy
Took Them to Hurt Ryan's Case.
Atlanta, Ga. , Dec. 17.—A sensation was
created to-day when it became known that
the entire volume of papers comprising the
official court record of the noted Ryan case
had mysteriously disappeared from the
office of the clerk of the superior court.
There is but little doubt but tbat the papers
have been slolen. They were too bulky to
have been mislaid or to be in the possession
of any of the attorneys interested in the
case, without their knowledge of the fact.
Besides, the papers have been missing for
several weeks, during which time Judge
Henry Tanner and his foros of clerks and
deputies have been quietly searching the
town over for the missing document*
TIIK DISCLOSURE.
The disclosure was made to-day when a
committee of attorneys demanded the
papers to prepare for the hearing which
comts off next Monday. Clerk Tauuer does
not have the least idea of where the records
are, and when he despaired of finding them
at once put the entire clerical foroe of his
office to work establishing copies from the
supreme court records. This will be ex
pensive, as the Ryan ease is a very
voluminous one in the way of documents.
The clerk will have to bear the loss of the
money required to make the new oopies.
What motive coaid have prompted the
theft of the papers is hard to imagine,
can’t affect the case.
Lawyers on both sides of the case say that
the disappearance of the papers could not
affect either Mr. Ryan or the prosecution,
that if a delay in the hearing next M nday
should be occasioned by the occurence
Mr. Ryan would be the sufferer,
inasmuch as he would be required to remain
in jail that much longer before being al
lowed an opportunity of release by making
the showing which he Intends todo on Mon
day, It is thought that some over sealous
fr.end of Mr. Ryan’s who thought he would
aid him knows what became of the papers,
pr that it was just the opposite, an enemy
whose object was to prejudice Mr. Ryan in
the eyes of the court and the public.
STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
The Commissioners Met to Make Plans
tor Its Organization.
Athens, Ga., Dec. 17.—The normal
school oommitaionen, the faculty of the
stats university and the prudenttai board of
trustees met this afternoon in the college
library to organize the state normal school.

trad well, state school oommiadouer • Prof.
Lawton B. Evans of Augusta, Prof. W, B.
Baker of Savannah, Dr. ' A. J.
Battle of Home and Chancellor
William E. Bogga of the state uni vert, ty at

funds of the institution bad only reached
f 1,050, which was the incomo derived from
the Gilmore fund donated by the trustees of
tho University of Georgia.
CHANCELLOR BOOQS’ SPEECH.
Chanoellor Boggs dwelt at some length
upon the benefits to be derived from the in
stitution and expressed the intention of the
university to lend all the aid posrible and
also the willingness of the faculty to sup
ply, as far as their lime would admit, the
places of the teachers. Out of eleven
vacancies annually coming to Georgia from
the Peabody school at Nashville there were
this year BJO applicants from Georgia. Dr.
Boggs also stated that a number of young
men in the university would leave very
soon to teach school In order to make
enough money to finish their education and
prepare themselves for teachers.
THE PRUDENTIAL BOARD.
A. L. Hull wa the only member of the
prudential board present, Col. Billups being
prevented from attending and the other
place on the board being vacant, caused by
the resignation sometime ago of Cape. W.
W. Thomas, who was also chairman, llr.
Hull favored the commencement of the col
lege as soon as possible. He said: “Get the
people interested and the legislature will
come around all right”
Favorable expressions of opinion were
made by the different members of the
faculty present, and it is safe to say that it
will not be long before the institution is in
full progress under most flattering auspices.
The b >ard will meet again to-morrow
morning and visit the Rock College build
ing, which has been chosen as the site for the
school, with Capt. MoCuilock, the arohltect.
It will then be decided what changes will be

A MURDEROUS NEGRO.
Lewis Brown Tries to Kill Daniel Don
ovan W ith a Stick.
Lewis Brown (colored) is in jail under a
warrant from Justice Waring Russell,
Jr., charging him with assault with intent
to murder Daniel Donovan, a clerk in H.
M. Comer & Co.’s offioe.
The assault occurred several days ago,
and was committed with a 3>£-foot white
pine stick, 3 inches wide and shaped at one
end to a handle. Brown had a quarrel
with Mr. Donovan and went off ana fixed
up the weapon with which be intended to
kill him.
On one side of the stick Brown wrote;
“Self-defense will be the only way I use this
stick. Dan is carrying a knife for me. L.
B." On the reverse side the following: ••[
am sorry to have left you, but I had to go
for Dan. He was trying to kill me, so I
thought I would kill him.”
The stick is in the possession of Solicitor
General Fraser. From the story told Jus
ttco Russell it will be quite a while before
Brown will have an opportunity again to
use a stick, either iu ’“elf defense” or other
wise. He stands a good chance of working
in the mines for several years.
TO PREVENT LOSS OF LIFE.
Bow the Government Keeps an Bye
on 7,000 Hteam Vessel*
The annual report of the superrising in
spector general of steam vessels has just
been received. It contains some interesting
facts concerning the steamboat service of
this country.
There are in all the United States over
7,500 steam vessels running In wbat is called
navigable waters and subject to the steam
boat laws. This, of course, does oot include
a large cumber of little steamers, yachts,
etc., on the inland lakes and streams that
do not come within the jurisdiction of ths
service.
in the Savannah district, which includes
the territory between Savannah and Capo
Canaveral, Florida, there are 160 steam ves
sels, in the navigation of which, last year,
764 licensed steamboat officers were em
ployed.
The steamboat service of the United
States increased last year 341 vessels. The
cumber of masters, mates, pilots and engi
neers employed in the navigation of that
number of vessels was 35,116.
The steamboat Inspection service is a
branch of the government of whioh very
little is known, comparatively. Its real
object is to guard against and to prevent
accidents and lose of life. How well the
objects of the law have been accomplished
iu this respect is shown in the fact that
during last year but six accidents to
marine boilers or steam pipes occurred,
whereby fourteen lives were lost, notwith
standing at least 090,000,000 passengers
were exposed during the year to the pos
sible chance, reduced to a minimum through
careful inspection of explosion of upward of
10,000 boilers in use on 7,404 steam vessels;
wbsrsos the accidents to boilers lu use for
other than marine purposes throughout the
United States, as reported in The Locomo
fur, issued by the Hartford Steam Boiler
Insurance Company, for the calendar year
of 1890, other than on steam vessels, was
198, Total number of persons killed 20C.
Totpl number injured 343.
In the valley of the Mississippi and ths
Gulf of Mexloo, up to the year 1849, there
were 1,666 steamboats, of which number
there were lost by explosions 168. In the
year 1851 there were running in the whole
United States 1,390 steamers, of which 100,
or 14 per cant, of the whole number, were
lost. The number of lives lost was nearly
or quite 700, or one to every two vessels in
the ssrvioe. The number of passengers car
ried was 39,904,691. The number of lives
lost iu the fiscal year ending June 30, 1891,
888. Is but one to each twenty-one vessels
employed. It is eetimated that fully
600,000,000 passengers were carried during
the fiscal year, making one life lost
to each 1,775,147 passengers carried.
One single accident, that of the loss of the
steamer Sea Wmg an lake l’epin, Mississip
pi river, July 13, destroyed by a cyclone,
more tnau accounts for the increased fatal
ity of the year, the number of lives lost on
that steamer being ninety-eight out of a
total of 215 persons on board. The general
opinion of ail persons who witnessed the
storm was tbat Its force was sufficient to
wreck the stoutest steamer ever built for
Mississippi navigation, and that, therefore,
the aocident was unpreventable by any
human agency or foresight, except, per
haps, such timid foresight as would seek a
safe harbor upon the appearance of every
rain or storm cloud that shows itself above
the horizon.
The work of ths service In the Savannah
district is probably more thorough and
more rigid than that In almost any other
district. The local Inspectors, Headman
and cover the entire ooast and inland
territory, from the Bsvannah river south,
to below Jupiter, Fla, all the inland navi-
Bable8 able streams, the Savannah, Altainaha,
cmulgee, Oconee and Bt. Marys rivers,
Georgia; and the Bt. Johns, Indian, Hali
fax, Hillsborough and a dozen other smaller
rivers in Florida, and the navigable lakes.
Annual inspections are made of the hulls,
the boilers and all the machinery and equip
ments of the vessels.
Every licensed officer of the steamboat
service, master, mats, pilot and engineer is
examined and lioeused annually, so that the
iasnectors, under the supervising inspector
of the district from Baltimore to Cape
Canaveral, who is stationed at Norfolk,
have a record of every parson In a position
of responsibility employed In the running of
steam vessels, and are able, through having
an eye, as it were, on the entire army of
steamboat employes, to place the responsi
bility for any wrong and any violation of
the laws at once without the possibility of
an escape.
The entire personnel of the service, which
is a branoh of the treasury department, in
cludes 152 officers. They have nothing to do
with foreign vessels and only have the
supervision of those vessels lu navigable
waters, which are propelled by steam. Naph
tha launches and sailing vessels do not come
within their jurisdiction. The servioe is
directed by the supervising inspector gen
eral, Gen. J. A. Dumont of the treasury de
partment. Under Mm are the supervising
inspectors of districts, the supervising in
spector of the Third district, whioh iuoludes
Savannah and all territory as far north as
Cape Charles, being J. W. Oast of Norfolk,
Va. Then come the local inspectors which
have the direct charge of the districts to
which they are assigned. H. D. Headman
and W. G. Lee are the local inspectors of
the district of Savannah. Their repors.t
which are now being closed up for the year
ending Deo. 31, will show a large increase
in the number of steam vessels employed
in Georgia and Florida.
Mrs. Philip Beyer of Minneapolis has sued
her bußband for meals furnished him before
they were married. She obtained a judgment.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
lIKADqUARTKRS DOVE CoMHAXDSRY, )
No. 7, K. TANARUS., V
Danville, Va., Dec. 10, 1831. )
The hands on thel dial [date of our earthly
existence are rapidly moving forward, our life
sands one by one are swiftly ebbing through tho
hour glass of time, and at a moment when we
least expect it, all of us will have to obey the
summons of that Omnipotent Commander, who
rules the destinies of nations and directs the
pulsations of every heart. Such has beeu the
sudden call for ourrn >st excellent Sir Knight J.
E. L. Holmes, D. D., of Savaanab, Ga., who
about the midnight watch of the night of Dec. 6,
1691, when his dear family were wrapt In ouiet
slumber, was summoned from his earthly pil
grimage to tho Grand Commandery beyond the
skies, not unprepared for thus unexpected sum
mons, but panoplied with a pilgrim warrior's
imoiements of warfare and invested with a pil
grim warrior's pass. Humbly recoraixing the
fact that oar worthy Sir Knight was called for
by the Supreme Commander to reap the reward
of his faithful career on earth; therefore
Resolved 1. That iu the demise of our worthy
and courteous Sir Knight, this Commandery has
to part for a little wht e with one of its true and
tried fraters, who was ever on the alert to lend
a helping hand to the needy and destitute One
whose ears were ever open to the bugle call and
to obey tho behests of the most Eminent Com
mander duriug bis pilgrimage among us. One
who in the strictest sense was ever ready to
wield his sword in defense of innocent maidens,
destitute widows and orphans and the Christian
religion, and if at any time, of silver and gold
he had none, of such a< he might find in his
scanty scrip, he was every ready to bestow on
worthy pilgrims traveling from afar.
Resolved 2. That we as true Sir Knights
neither murmur nor complain at the kind Provi
dence, which lias so unexpectedly called away
the disembodied spirit of our much beloved
comrade, but bow with humiliation to this sad
bereavement, feeling at the game time that the
city and community in which he lived has lost
one of its most worthy and useful c.tuens, his
family an indulgent father and husband, his
churnh one of the most beloved pastors, and his
denomination one of the leading lights of the
southern pulpit.
Resolved 8. That when the mortal remains of
this saint of God was lowered into the silent
resting place oi the dead, there was forever loet
to view a man who as citizen, minister and 81r
Knight will ever recall the highest traditions,
not only of his native, but adopted state, a man
whose uprightness was indexible, conscientious
ami fearless. In dispensing the word of truth to
perishing souls, ha Las left behind a memory
which will ever be revered by all who at any
time reaped the benefit of his acquaintanceship
or the favor of his friendship.
Resolved i. That as true and oourteons Sir
Knights, we will endeavor to emulate the noble
qualities of our deceased comrade in suoh a
manner that when the clock of eternity shall
strike the knell of Ue aiding day we may, hav
ing fought a good fight, lay our armor down,
and meet him in the Grand Commandery above
where tha Lord God Omnipotent ever reigneth.
Resolved b. That these resolutions be spread
upon the records, published In the Daily Regis
ter and Savannah News, and a copy sent to the
bereaved family.
