A KKOHO BY HER BEDSIDE.
Startling Dlifomy of •' Columbus
Woman During the Night.
Columbus, <l. , Juno 19—A negro was
arrested here 10-4sy charged with a very
serious crime Sunday morning about
9:30 o'clock E. O. Allbright. who is a
merchant here, was awakened by the
screams of his wife, ami, tret ting up at
once, he saw a burly negro unnp thmuch
the window He attempted to shoot him.
but the negro disappeared with such
rapidity that it was impossible to wine
him. I ’poll inquiry Mr All bright found
that his wife, who was sieepiug on a t'd
in tho same room in which lie slept or, a
cot, was awakened suddenly by feeline
someone catch hold of her She found
upon opening her eyos that a negro was
on her bed. She recognized him by means
of an electric light as William Myers,
who had been employed at her husband s
store. His object was evidently an as
sault, and had it not lieen that her hus
band was sleeping in the same room the
scoundrel might have accomplished his
purpose. It was the liolilest attempt in
the history of crime in Columbus, and the
indignation felt is widespead. It is feared
that, an attempt will be made to lynch
thenegro, as he has l>een arrested and
put, in the county tail. Nothing has oc
curred up to this time, but everybody is
looking out for it. It can be well imagined
how mad Mr. Allbright is It was neces
sary for two policemen to keep a close,
waich on him to prevent his killing My
ers. Mr. Allbright's friends share his
feelings Since court is in session and
Myers will have a speedy trial, it is be
lieved and hoped that the law will be
allowed to take its course.
A FIRE AT AMERICUS.
The Postoffice Building Narrowly Es
capes Destruction.
Atnericus, Ga., June lit—At 11 o'clock
last night the handsome marble front
building on Forsyth street, known as the
postofHee building, and owned by U. B.
Hrrrold, was discovered on tire. In about
half an hour the tiauies were under con
trol. The building is three stories high,
next to the Allen House, and about the
center of ten or twelve of the most costly
buildings in the city.
The prompt and efficient work of the
fire department certainly saved £IOO,OOO
worth of property.
The fire originated in the cellar under
W. T. Mims' drag store Mims' stock is
only partly burned, but is a total loss
from excessive heat and water. His
stock was worth about #B,OOO, including a
$3,500 soda fount. He had £4,000 insur
ance.
The postoftice next door was not
seriously damaged.
The offices on the second floor and the
Oennan club rooms, occupying the whole
of the third door, were slightly damaged
by steam and smoke.
One hundred chickens that were in the
cellar of theSpotCash grocery store,three
doors from Mims’ drug store, were killed
by the hot smoke and steam
A CONVICT SHOT DEAD.
file Threatened to Brain a Guard With
a Hammer.
Griffin, Ga., June 19.—Lacid Duke, one
of the convict guards, shot and killed
Walser Miller, one of the gang, yesterday
afternoon. The killing occurred at the
stockade and was the result of an at
tempt on the part of Miller to escape,
using a hammer as a weapon. The evi
dence before the eoroner's jury this
morning was to the effect that Miller had
filed his chains apart and fastened them
with a wire to prevent detection, but a
trusty gave the information and during
the replacing of anew pair of shackles
Miller gained possession of the hammer,
which he refused to surrender, and. vio
lently cursing the guard, ho threatened
to brain him if he attempted to take it.
Finding persuasion of no avail and to es
cape being brained, Duke fired a double
charge of buckshot into the negro, nearly
waring the top of his head off. Tin;
coroner's jury, after viewing the remains
and hearing the evidence, exonerated
Duke. Miller was said to be a powerful
man and reckless to a degree seldom seen.
PORTER THE PROSECUTOR.
H; Can Push or Drop the Cases
Against Hill as He Sees Fit.
Atlanta, Ga., Juno 19.—A somewhat
peculiar situation has developed in the
Hill-Porter case. J. H. Porter, whose
wife’s name is alleged to have been
forged, appears as the prosecutor on all
the indictments but one, which is a special
presentment. The fact that Mr. Porter-is
prosecutor practically gives him the di
rection of the cases, which means that he
can use his advantage to effect a com
promise, or by refusing to allow a com
promise to force the cases against
Hill to trial on their merits.
Hill’s relatives have signified their
willingness to go on his bond and help
him out, but even if they should offer to
pay up all the notes Hill would not escape
prosecution unless Mr. Porter should con
pent, which is not at all likely, unless the
trial will expose his family. On the other
hand, if the intention is to crush the life
out of the sensation—smother it, Mr. Por
ter is in an advantageous position to do
that, as he can stop the prosecution at
*uiy time.

entertaining and have been attended bv
large crowds. The city is full of visitors
and the social festivities are the gayest
that have been seen in several years. The
address before the literary society this

very good indeed. He spoke of tlie ma
terial progress and industrial develop
ment of the country during the past cent
ury and the future that was in store for

short, but he covered his subject fully and
the audience was well pleased at the

A CROSS SUIT FOR DIVORCE.
Mrs. Adair Takes a Hand in the
Legal Fight at Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga., June 19.—Mrs. Ada Adair
filed a cross bill for divorce from her hus
band, John Adair, to-day. The applica
tion of the wife, which briefly recites the
fact that her husband has not lived with
her since they were married and asks for
a divorce on the ground of desertion, re
vives the story which led to the divorce
proceedings. Society was shocked at the
time. Mr. Adair, the husband, is the son
of Col. George W. Adair, an
old and influential citizen, one of
the most widely known men
in the city. The lady was the beautiful
daughter of Col. B. W. Frobell, who at
the time of his death occupied a con
spicuous place in the city’s commercial
circles. She was a favorite in society
until her sensational marriage with Mr.
Adair. The ceremony was performed un
der persuasion of firearms, the young
lady boing on the aggressive. Shortly
after the ceremony Mr. Adair applied for
divorce, and obtained a first verdict on
the ground of forced marriage. The wife
asks that her maiden name be restored to
her.
FLORIDA’S METROPOLIS.
The Electric Railway Worthless
Checks Palmed Off on Georgians.
Jacksonville, Fla., June 19.—T0-morrow
the Jacksonville Street Railway Company
will commence to tear up its old rails and
put in new 50-pound steel rails for the pro
posed electric road. In the meantime the
old cypress paving blocks will be torn up
to the viaduct. As soon as the street car
company has proceeded far enough with
the laying of its rails the paving con
tractor will begin the work of clearing
and rolling the street and laying the
foundation of oyster shell and cement for
a pavement of vitrified brick.
MORE WORTHLESS CHECKS.
Moxley, the swindler, has turned his
attention toward Jacksonville again. It
will be remembered that he endeavored
to swindle the sisters at St. Augustine
and priests of Savannah last winter by
offering them a check for a large amount
from which a balance would be duo. He
was tried for the offense hero, convicted
and sent to the county jail for a term of
three months. This morning the First
National Hunk of this city received a
check for collection from Ashburn, Ga.
The form was that of W. A. Bisbee of this
city and was signed W. A. Bisbee. It
called for *ISOO and was in favor of Dr.
George W. Bentiy and indorsed by him
in favor of T. D. Strong. The check came
through another bank and the officials of
the First National thinking that all was
not right sent for Mr. Bisbee. That gen
tleman pronounced it a forgery. City
Marshal Vincent was called in, and white
he, Mr. Bisbee and the bank officials were
in consultation another check came in for
the same amount dated Ashburn, Ga.,
June 12, and in favor of Hon. Preston
.Judd, indorsed it to Rev. H. O. Judd.
Marshal Vincent has wired Mr. Strong to
have Moxley arrested.
A BOLD ESCAPE.
Frank E. Brunson, who was confinod
in tho city Jail for ninety days in default
of a *6OO fine imjioscd upon him
by tho municipal court ujen
conviction of participation in an assault
upon Police Office Sweet a short time ago,
escaped from the city jail last night, pre
sumably about 1:3(1 o'clock. His confed
erate on the outside lifted the latch of the
cell door and liberated him into the corri

closet. Brunson tore up the seat and
dropped through into the river beneath.
Some of his friends were probably await

A DEAL IN GERMANY.
Richter to Deliver Radical Votes to
the Social Democrats.
Berlin, June 19. Eugen Richter,
leader of the opposition radicals, has
agreed formally with August Bebel and
Wilhelm Liebknecht, leaders of the so
cial democrats, to deliver to the social
democrats in the second ballots all the
radical votes that he can control
in constituencies where the contests will
be between the social democrats and
candidates favoring the army bill.
In return Herr Liebknecht and Herr
Bebel will order the social democratic
voters to support the Kichterists in con
stituencies where the latter contest seats
with representatives of the government
parties.
The bitterness felt by the government
parties toward Herr Richter is excessive
in Haven, which Herr Richter repre
sented in the last Reichstag and which a
recount gives him a right to contest with
Herr Broil, social democrat. The na
tional liberals say they will vote with
the socialists so as as to throw Herr Rich
ter out. Herr Broil received 5,i>58 votes
on the first Imllot and Herr Richter 9,,'tfil.
Ascthe national liberals control 4,900. or
pe haps 4,500. votes in Hagen it is in their
power to oust Herr Richter.
Chinamen and Coffee Soda. •

A Journal man was enjoying a cooling

"Coffee?” inquired the Chinaman.
“No. the coffee is just out." said the

But before he had finished tho China
man shook bis head, turned on his heel
and walked out, vigorously shaking a

Then the soda man turned to tho writer
and said: "It s the funniest thing in the

here and they invariably ask for coffee
soda, if 1 happen to be out of that flavor
they won’t take anything else. It seems

A Murder at Tampa That Causee
Talk of the Mafia
Jacksonville. Fla , June 19 A special
| from Tatniwi to the Times-Union says:
‘The body of Ignazio Cam pari to, an Ital
ian, was found this morning. His throat
had been cut from oar to ear, and his
breast, back, anus and nock bore about
twenty-five knife wounds. It is supposed
that the murder was committed last night
about 9 o’clock, as those in tin' vicinity
heard screams at that time. The hat of the
murderer was found near the body. The
money and watch of the murdered man
were on his [lerson undisturbed, leit
the double case of the watch
had been pierced through by a stiletto.
There was evidently a terrible struggle
for life on the part of the murdered man.
as the ground at the scene of the crime
was torn up for an area of many feet.
One Italian was arrested to-day on sus
picion. A rumor is in circulation that
the Mafia society, which was guilty of so
many atrocities and vengeful murders in
New Orleans, is at the bottom of this
crime.”

A PECULIAR TRANSACTION.
After Obtaining a Ticket to Macon a
Land-soller Fuils to Turn Up.
Waycross, Ga., June 19.—W. C. Swain,
a prominent citizen of Beach, thinks an
attempt was made to get some of his cash
by a man representing himself as being
the agent of Mrs. Smith of Macon. The
man said that he had been sent to Beach
to trade some land belonging to Mrs.
Smith. He met Mr. Swain and
arranged to sell a portion
of the land, apparently fixing
up the proper papers. Mr. Swain not
having a sufficient amount of money on
hand to pay for the land, asked the man
to accompany him to Savannah, which he
did. At Savannah Swain went to his
factors and told them of his purchase,
and they advised him to go to Macon and
have Mrs. Smith sign the papers herself.
Acting upon this advice, he told the man
that he would go with him to Macon. The
man replied that he did not have enough
money to buy a ticket, whereupon Mr.
Swain bought him a tickfet and told him
tha t he could pay it back when they got to
Macon. The man agreed to this. When the
train started for Macon Swain got aboard
thinking that his man was also on board.
When the train got about four miles from
Savannah Swain went through it and
failed to find his man. He asked the con
ductor if he had taken up a ticket for
Macon. The conductor said he had not
and that the man described by. Mr.
Swain was not aboard. Mr. Swain con
cluded that the man had not been acting
square with him.
CENTRAL’S LUMBER PURCHASE.
What Hopkins & Schley Have to
Say in Regard to It.
Savannah, June 19.—Editor Morning
News: Under the heading “Taking
More Testimony” in your issue of even
date appears a clipping from the Balti
more Herald which does us, as well as
the purchasing agent of tho Central rail
road, a great injustice. The facts in the
case are these: Some time in March last
Mr. ,T. F. Babbitt, Jr., then purchasing
agent of the Central railroad, asked us
for bids on a lot of white pine lumber.
After corresponding with quite a number
of manufacturers of white pine.lumber
and getting prices vvei quoted £75 and £BO
per 1,000 feet (prices varying according
to thickness) for highest grade, suitable
for pattern making, and this price being
lower than any other we were given the
order. Before sending this order off we
heard of the firm of Henry James & Cos.
of Baltimore and that they had some
white pine that we might get for a lower
price than wo had been quoted, i. e.,
#75 to £BO per 1,000 feet, less ,5 per cent,
commission. So we wrote them and were
quoted net prices ranging from £87,50 to
£65 per 1.600, with freight rate
to Savannah, Ga., of $5 50 per
1,000 feet. On receipt of these figures
we forwarded order to them with instruc
tions to ship and- bill direct to
Central railroad at prices named on order,
which they declined to do, saying that
they would not take the responsibility of
shipping the #37 50 quality, nor would t hey
be willing to sell at one price and bill at
another. On receipt of this we instructed
them to ship the highest grade quoted at
from £47 50 to £fis per 1.000 feet, with
freight rate of £5 50 per 1,000. They then
declined to fill the order under any cir
cumstances, which ended the matter We
had the order filled in Cincinnati, 0., at
prices quoted us, £75 and £BO per 1,000 on
some of the lumber, while some
sizes cost us as much as #B3 50 and £lls
per 1,000 feet. Our Mr. Hopkins was for
four years employed in the purchasing
agent’s office of the Cent ral railroad and
his duties consisted chiefly in the making
out of orders and'examination of bills as
to their correctness in calculations and
price, and the prices paid for this class of
white pine brought direct from manufact
urres has always ranged from £75 to £lls
per 1,000. In making our prices to the
Central railroad we have always had
them compared with others and never
have succeeded in getting orders if our
prices were not below the others. We
will state in conclusion that we have
never acted in the capacity of brokers to
the Central railroad, and this accusation
may prove costly to somebody.

HOT, IF MERCURY DIDN’T SAY SO.
An Oppressive Night Until the Rain
Cooled It Off.
Meteorologically speaking, it was not as
hot by 7° yesterday as it wits tho day be
fore. For a few hours last night, however,
it would have taken a good deal of argu
ment fo have convinced most people that
it was not a good deal hotter. Before the
rain began the heat was intense and was
more severely felt because of a lack of
breeze. Hardly a breath of air was
stirring and the hot and muggy atmos
phere settled down oppresively.
The highest the mercury went yester
day was Bfi“, which was but a littlo out of
the average. The temperature was lower
all through the cotton belt, Amerieus
still holds the palm as the hottest place
in Georgia, which usually belongs to
Milieu or Eastman. Amerieus reported
94° last night. The next hottest place in
tiie Savannah district was Gainesville,
Fla., which reported 90°. Albany and
Baiubridge both reported 94’. There
wore some unusual temperatures re
ported from widely separated places.
Marquette, 'Mich., Washington, D. C. and
Philadelphia reported 94“.. Pittsburg,
Cincinnati, St. Louis and Montgomery,
Ala , reported 92°. New York and Jack
sonville, Fla., reported 90“; Augusta and
Kansas Cit.v 88°, and New Orleans and
Chicago 85“, the same as Savannah.
Tiie rain was pretty general yesterday
over the cotton belt. The greatest fall in
Georgia was Washington, which reported
2 inches. Less than one-fourth of aniuch
fell in Savannah.
The indications ]x>int to a continuance
of threatening weather to-day.
Vegetarians say it Is a popular fallacy that
meat is needed for strength. One prominent
exponent of the faith.says it Is a fart that the
strongest quintals in the world are vegetarian
and not carniv,irons, it is the ferocity of the

formidaole. An elephant is a match for
