REDWINE’S WILD CAREER
THE GRAND JURY NOT BRINGING
OUT MANY NEW FACTS.
Owens and Blacic Given 7bMr Liberty.
Owens to Enter 9uits lor Damages.
Steve F.yan’s Brother Had a Tip and
Drew Out Bis Deposit— Redwine’s
Companions Not Valuable as Wit
nesses.
Atlanta, Oa., March 15. —The investi
gation of the Gate City National Bank de
falcation wai continued to-day by the
federal grand jury, and during the session
several interesting developments were made.
Asa result of the statement made yester
day by Redwine, the jury, after a thorough
consideration of its reliability, to-day failed
to find bills of indictment against Horace
Owens and H. H. Black, the two men ar
rested at the same time with Redwine,
charged with being his acc >raplicea. Shortly
after this action Owens and Black were re
lated from jail.
OWEN'S TO SUE.
f Owens immediately consulted his at
torneys, and the papers for several heavy
damage suits are now being prepared. One
of the suits will be against President L. J.
Hill, of the bank, who swore out the war
rants upon which Owens and Black were
bound over. These warrants allege that the
two men aided and abetted Kedwine in
robbing the bank, and oil account of the
gravity of the charge they claim that their
characters have been greatly injured.
Other suits for damages will be against all
three of the local papers, on account of
alleged false reports.
ONE or OWEN'S’ POINTS.
(|One particular point upon which these
suits will be predicated ia the alleged state
ment made by Owens, in which he gave the
details of a Sunday meeting between Red
wine, Cobb Jackson and ten other young
men for the purpose of arranging Red
wine’s flight when his defalcation should be
discovered. Owens also threatens to make
public facts which will reflect badly upon
the heads of the police department, this in
formation having been gained by him in
his work as a private detective. He openly
asserts that Chief of Polioe Connolly pro
posed to divide the spoils of Red wine’s capt
ure with him after a reward had been
offered, should he, Owens, sucoeei in keep
ing his man until that time. Chief Con
nolly denies this, however.
Redwine was again taken from jail by
order of the grand jury to-day, but Judge
Newman interfered to prevent the jurors
from foroing him to give facts that would
be used in bis own prosecution, aud he was
returned to jail without beiug further ex
amined.
RYAN HAD A TIP.
The investigation is broadening consider
ably, and there is no telling where it will
end. Among the many witnesses sum
moned to-day was Stephen A. Ryan, the
young merchant who gained wide notoriety
by his $1,000,000 failure and thirteen
months subseqent Imprisonment because he
refused to tell what had become of much of
the money involved. It appears that John
Kyan, his brother, had drawn out of the
bank his deposit of $21,000 the Saturday pre
ceding the Monday of the bank's failure—
x that is the day upon which Red wine’s short
age was discovered. John Ryan stated that
he had been advised to withdraw his deposit
by his brother, Steve, and before the jury
that gentleman said he bad “heard things
in the wind,” which led him to obey his
brother. This is all the jury could get out
of the witness. Ryan was too sharp to be
caught. Other witnesses were also exam
ined upon this phase of the case.
ROUNTREE EXCUSED.
Dan Rountree, the youDg attorney who
paid Redwine a vis t wnile he was in hiding
in Cora Howard's bouse, was brought be
fore the jury to-day. He offered to tell
what passea between him and the cashier
during that visit if forced to, but on his
plea that be would be betraying professional
secrete was excused.
Then came a bevy of society young men,
who were wanted to led the details of Rel
wine'a brilliant career as one of Atlanta’s
Four Huudred setting an estimate upon the
coat of his bouquets, club dinners, etc. One
of these young men, was McAllan Marsh,
who is generally pointed out as the one who
was intimately iamliiar with Red wine’s so
ciety life, even to a direct knowledge
of his love affairs and intrigues. Fr< m
w hat can be learned it seems that the grand
jurors were more or less in the dark and
did cot understand how to a; ply the lever
to tne society young mm, so got little satis
facti n rut of them. When the body ad
journed for the day the investigation was
still uncompleted.
THE BANK TO REOPEN.
A deal was practically perfected this
aft-mom by which the Gate City National
Bank will reopen for busines-i, probably
next week, with J. G. Ogleeby aspresldeut.
Mr. Ogieeny is president of the chamber of
commerce and the ComtnercialC lub and bis
name at the head of the reorganized bank
will carry every oonfl lence of the business
community. At present the bank has $200,-
000 in round figures in the vault.

Abbeville, Ga., Maroh 15.—James A.
Carswell, brother of W. B. Carswell, one of
the proprietors of the Georgia pine shingle
mills, suffered a serious accident yesterday
and Is in a critical condition. He was
struck on the head by the lever of an ox
lumber cart and knocked senseless. Blood
oozed from his ears, eyes, nose and mouth,
and a long, deep gash was cut in the back
ot bis head by falling on a log. Notwith

This was the culmination of a series of
accidents which have recently befallen Mr.

Katie Dean. They are both well known in
Guyton and Savannah. They started out,
as was thought, for an afiernoon’s walk.
They soon turned their steps toward the
parsonage in search of a clergyman. But
he was not at home. However, they were
not discouraged in the least, but went di
rectly to another minister’s home, where
the ceremony was performed in the presence
of a few witnesses.
The Guyton band gave them a serenade
about 10 o’clock last night at the home of
R. G. Ferguson, Jr.

again. He baa been confined to his home
for over a week in consequence of an ugly
gash cut in bis thigh by a large hog. Tne
senator had caught the hog, when ms feet
became entangled in the bushes and he fell,
and the enraged swine ran over him, in
flicting a painful wound with his tusk as
he passed.

for the spring aud summer.
H.E. Wilson and family, of Savannah,
are spending a few days at the home of C.
D. Rogers.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1893.
BOOK OF AN ANCIENT MABINBB.
He Describee the Hawaiten Islands In
the Century's First Decade.
from the .Yew Tori: Sun.
In the second decade of this century an
bumble bootch sailor, who bad lo6t both his
feet iu the frozen wilds of Alaska, told to a
friend a round unvarnished tale of his ad
ventures aud observations during a voyage
around the world. The editor of his story
had the rare good sense to tea ve it unadorned
and simple when he published It. The little
bx>k, “A Voyage Around the World by
Alexander Campbell," never bad a wide
circulation and is long out of print. It is
far more interesting, however, than many
more prstenti us works, and is especially
valuable because it gives an acoouut of a
residence in the Hawaiian Islands from
February, 1809, until March. 1810.
W hsu it is remembered that the Hawaiian
Islands were only made known definitely to
Europeans in 1778, when Capt. Cook touched
there, returning the year after to meet a
violent death, it will be seen how interest
ing would be the minute observations of
Hawaiian customs, manners and laws be
fore the European aud Asiatic influences
had taioted the simplicity of such civiliza
tion as the unaided natives had been able to
attain. Campbell, speaking the truth with
out any prejudice, gives a most delightful
picture of life on these islands in those days,
and, strange to say, the picture is marred
by a few durk spots, the bloody crimes be
ing the remits of degrading superstition and
of savage instincts.
When Campbell was there Tamaakmaan
was the absolute m narcb. This king, as a
youth of 20, had been present at the killing
of Capt. Cook. He had succeeded to the
throne after several bloody revolutions,
and he was ruling with peace and pros
perity as the reward of his firmness and
gentleness. “Strangers,’’ says Campbell,
“flud themselves as safe in his dominions as
in those of any civilized nation. He is a
stout, well-made man. aud the expression
ofhii countenance is agreeable. He poa
sense:, great warmth of feeling, and has the
art of attracting other* to himself. Al
though a conqueror,he is extremely popular
among his subjects. He s metimes dressed
himself m European fashion, but more fre
quently contented himself with the maro or
breech clout. It is said that at one time he
was addicted to anient spirits, but that,
finding the evil consequences of the prac
tice, be had resolved to abandon it.”
During Campbell’s stay there was hut one
capital punislimont, ana that, for a heinous
breaking of a religious rite. Campbell says
the natives were not and never had been
cannibals, that before going to war they
sacrificed human victims, but at other times
human life was safe and even sacre 1. The
king was fond of white men. aud liked to
have them stay in his dominions. He made
each white man n chief, and exempted him
from the practico of the native religion and
from the more abject forms of royal eti
quette. He encouraged his people to learn
the useful arts of the white men, and, as
they were very apt, they did learn well and
quickly.
The natives distilled several kinds of in
toxicants from various roots. Before any
white mau settled there, they had a very
mild intoxicant as a national beverage.
But the white men made sills and taught
them to manufacture powerful drinks. At
the time of Campbell’s visit, however, the
natives were not much corrupted. He
speaks several times or the terrible example
the white men set. Thev were lazy, drunken
and coarse, being for the most part ex-con
victs or sailors set ashore because they were
useless to the ships in which they sailed.
‘‘There are." says Campbell, “a few ex
ceptions to this. William Davis, a Welsh
man, used to rise every morning at 5 and go
to his fields, where he commonly remained
till the same hour in the evening. This
singular conduct puzzled the natives not a
little. But they accouuted for it by sup
posing that he bad been one of their own
countrymen in a former life, aud had gone
to Eagiaud after his death aud had now
oome back to his native land.”
There were no missionaries on the island
at this time. The natives, industrious and
honest, pra?ticed the superstition of the
taboo in its primitive degradation. The
king was a most religious man, as well he
might be, since religion was the chief source
of his power. The priests enforced the laws
and collected the revenues. There seemed
to be no necessity for jails or for execution
blocks in those days. Campbell’s account
of the methods of procedure iu a case of
robbery shows how law abiding the natives
were. He says:
“The person who has been robbed applies
to a priest, to whom he presents a pig, aud
tells his story. The priest begins by rub
bing two pieces of green wood upon each
other till a kind of powdor is produced
wideb is so hot that upon being put on the
dry grass and blown upon it takes fire. A
large Are is thus kindled and allowed to*
burn a certain time.” The priest then took
three nuts a: and threw them into the tire one
at a tune and pronounced an iucantation as
each nut burned, provided the thief did not
appear after the first incantation. “Gen
erally," sai a Campbell, "the culprit makes
his appearance with the stolen property
after the first burning. The property is
restored and the thief punished by a fine of
four pigs.
“Should it happen that the unfortunate
does not make his appearance during the
awful ceremony his late is inevitable. Not
o e word of the curse can be recalled, nor
the anger of the Etooah appeased. Procla
mation is made throughout the island that
a certain person has been robbed and that
those who are guilty have been prayed to
death. So firm is their belief in tne power
of these prayers that the culprit pines away,
refusing to take any food, and at last falls
a sacrifice to his oredulity.” Toev believed
lu a supreme God, in a future state and in
tne power of prayer to move an immanent
providence. They bad the tradition of the
deluge localized to their islands.
The medical arc bad not far advanced,
but sufficiently for the simple habits, the
healthful climate and the regular lives of
the nat.ves at that time. Salt water bath
ing was the chief remedy, and if rhe pa
tient could not he got to the sea they
brought salt water and rubbed him with it.
Aside from this, they had two chief reme
dies, a strong purgative aud au emetic that
never failed.
They were exceedingly clean and careful
in their personal habits, bathing frequently,
and looking upon a soiled person as a most
disgusting thing. Their dress consisted of a
breech clout, and, in c dder weather, a shawl
over the shoulders. The cloth of which
these were made was often of a fine texture,
carefully and rather artistically dyed iu
several colors. As water spoiled it, when
they swam out to the ships they held it out
of the water, changing it from one hand to
the other if they got tired. Their favorite
amusement was the living of kites, which
thev made sometimes 15 feet or so in
length aid 6 feet in breadth. “The only
employ u. n',” says Campbell, “at which I
ever saw the queen, was tne making of these
kites."
The bodies of the dead were always dis
posed of secretly, and Campbell could never
find out where they were interred. “The
queen,” be rays, “kept the hones of her
father wrapped in a piece of cloth. When
she slept in her own house, they were placed
by her side; in her absence, they were
placed on a feather bed she had received
from the oaptain of a ship and which was
only used for this purpose. When 1 assed
her the reason for this singular custom
she said: 'lt is because 1 loved him so
dearly.’ ”
During his stay the king’s brother died.
After the body bad lain in state for several
days it was secretly buried. "The public
mourning,” says Campbell, "was most ex
traordinary. The natifos cutoff their hair,
aud went about completely naked. Many
of them, particularly the women, disfigured
themselves by knocking out tneir front
teeth, aud branding their fa :es with red
hot stones and the small ends of calabashes
which they held burning to their faces until
a circular mark was produced.

810 BBS IN A HOLE.
At the Bottom of a Texas Pool ie
$300,000 In Geld and Silver.
from the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
San Antonio, March 2. —In the early
part of the present ce tury, when San Ao
tonio was the home of many wealthy
Spaniards and the commercial center of ail
of Northern Mexico, a mule train started
for this city from the City of Mexico.
Tnere were thirty mules, oaca loaded with
8,000 silver dollars and a considerable
amount of gold ooin, the total amount being
about $300,000.
The caravau was in charge of Capt.
Faiacio Flores, a prominent and trusted
employeof the government. In audition to
the drivers of the mule train there were
about fifty well armed and equipped
guards. The old and well-worn national
highway through San Luis Fotosi a-.d Mon
terey was taken, and t is dangerous mount
ain defiles south of Saltillo were passed
without any attack f the traia being
made. The Rio Grande river was crossed
a few miles above Laredo, and the tram
made its way rapidly toward San An
tonio.
In those days the national hiehway passed
through what is now Dimmit county. Texas,
following the bank of Pena oreek for sev
eral nules. On the bank of that stream was
a favorite camping place, which is now
called Brand Rock wat r hole. This hole
is located at a sharp bend iu the stream and
is of unfathomable depth, although it evi
dently has a natural bottom, as the water
in il does not pass into any interior cavity.
When this camping place was reached
Capt. Flores deoided to remain there a few
days resting the mules, preparatory to
making the 100 miles still remaining be
tween there and San Antonio. Reconsid
ered that all tne dangerous portion of the
country had been passei through and only
left tea men ou guard the first night. Even
this number seemed unnecessary as there
were no signs of any attack aud n i pickets
were posted next day.
It was about noon on that day when a
hand of brigands suddenly rushed upop the
unprotected camp out of a dense live-oak
tnicket. Capt. Flores ad his men were tak
ing their noonday - sle-ta wuen the attack
was made, but they did not submit without
a desperate struggle. The bags of gold and
silver were piled in a heap near the doep
water hole, and when Capt. Flores found
that the brigands were about to get posses
sion of the wealth, he ordered the drivers to
throw it all into the placid pooL dhe com
mand was obeyed, and the brigands massa
cred e .-ery member of the mule train party
with the exception of a driver named, Ale
jondro Lajero, who suer sided in making his
escape, proceeding to tan Antonio, where
he gave an account of tbs terrible adventure,
a record ot which was made at that time,
and is stiff in existence here. His story was
discredited until the parties to whom it had
been consigned made an investigation, and
found the bones of the victims aud evidence*
that the bandits had tried to recover the
wealth from the pool.
Attempts were then made to explore the
hole, but without success. Heavy weights
baye been sunk to a depth of several thou
sand feet, but the bottom of the hole has
never been reached. A few months ago
James L. Morgan, au eastern capitali-t and
the owner of an extensive ranch in South
wost Texas, was passing through Dimmit
county, when he was told the story of the
hidden wealth iu the Brand Rock water hole.
He visited the mysterit us spot aud became
so deeply interested in the remarkable tale
that he decided to make a supreme effort to
explore the depth of the hole in search of
tho $300,000 and recover the wealth if pos
sible. He is now in the erst superintending
the construction of devices and machinery
to be used in the work.

CONSULTING OPTICIANS.
A STARTLING FACT.
That very few persons have perfect eyes. It
u ust bo evident that it requires both knowl
edge and skdl to know what, the eyes need a id
to fit them properly with glasses ' Those who
trust this work to uninstructed dealers are
crimiua ly careless of the most valuable of all
the senses, their sight. In addition to gradu
ating in Germany and mv thirty years' practical
experience I have taken a. course and gradu
ated in a school of optics in New York and
iearned the latest and oest methods of ascer
taining the different detects of the eyes and
their proper correction, so tnat I can fit you
properly with glasses that will strengthen and
improve your eyesight instead of rapidly ruin
ing it, as poorly fitted glasses will always do.
No charge for examination.
