HAS A NEW LEASE ON LIFE.
Eddie Davis Reprieved Dy Gov. Atkin
son Until Feb. 15.
All Preparation* for His Execution Had
Been Made, and With the Firm Belief
That He Was Going to Die, He Had
Said Good-bye to All His Fellow Pris
oners— Sheri??Honan Delayed the Exe
cution Until the Governor Could Be
Heard From, and Davis Will
Have Another Chance for Life if He
Can Show the Killing of Willis Brown
Was Not Murder.
Eddie Davis had prepared himself to die
on the gallows yesterday a few rninuti - lif
ter 16 o clock and h had bid a parting
farewell to his fellow prisoners in the
Chatham county jail, and made his peace
with his Maker, when a telegram was re
ceived from Gov, Atkinson saving, "liavis
respited until Feh. IV' and the shouting
and handclapping that arose within the
prison walls when this news was made
known, told how glad his friends were
that one more chance for life was his.
Every preparation had been made for
the execution. Davis was in his grave
clothes, his uncle was waiting outside w ith
a wagon In which to carry off his body
that It might be burton by his friends, the
gallows was ready for Its victim, the rope
sw-ung ominously, and Willis Brown's
slayer had set his own time to die be
tween 10 and 11 o clock; but at the request
Of the prisoner's allorney, Mr. Ed. 11. Me-
Kethan, Bherlff Ronan consented to post
pone the execution until 12 o’clock. It hav
ing been made known to him that inter
cessiotf in Davis' behalf was being made
with the governor.
It was Thursday morning when Mr. Mc-
Kethan received a telegram from Gov. I
Atkinson stating that the application of
Eddie Davis for a commutation of his sen
tence had been overruled. Mr. McKethan
had then about given up all hope of saving
Davis’ neck, hut was. determined to make
every effort while there was time, to do
all that could be done for him. Mr. Mc-
Xethan then wired Gov Atkinson Thurs
day night, stating his telegram had been
received and caused much disappointment.
He earnestly asked a reprieve for Davis
for thirty days until he could see him.
Telegrams In Davis' behalf were also
sent by others. Col. J. H. Deveaux, com
manding First Battalion Infantry. Georgia
volunteers colored, also wired earnestly
requesting a thirty days reprieve for Davis
and among others telegrams were sent
to the governor by Dr. R. G. Norton and
Mrs. Richard Webb making the same ur
gent request. I'p to yesterday morning
nothing whatever had been received from
the governor and Mr. McKeihan again
wired a few minutes before 10 o’clock ask
ing the governor to answer at one# about
the reprieve, as everything was ready for
the execution.
It was just at this juncture that active
preparations for the execution were being
made at the jail. Davis' minister, the
Rev. Black of the Porier church, and
Ministers Jones. Walker and others, went
to the jail about 9 o'clock. Previous to
this, a few minutes before 9 o'clock. Dep
uty Joe Simmons w ent to Davis’ cell which
Is the third from that In which stands the
gallows on which he was to hang, and
dressed him In the new suit of dollies
that had been purchased for the occasion.
Davis had eaten a hearty breakfast and
was bearing up remarkbly well under tile
severe strain that must have been on his
mind. All the other prisoners in the Jail
were locked in their cells at 9 o'clock and
were awaiting the time with much anxiety
when their fellow prisoner was to pay
the penalty of his crime. Between 150 and
*OO negroes had gathered on Habersham
street, just opposite the Jail, and were
awaiting the signal which would tell them
that rhe gallows had done Its work.
Davis' cell was unlocked and it was
about 9 o'clock when tho ministers sat
down with him in the corridors and held
services with him as they thought for the
last time. They sang and offered prayer,
and talked with Davis about his religious
state of mind. Davis was satisfied that ha
had made his peace with his God. and said
as he has stated all along, that he was
ready to die, as he had to die at some
time, and It might as well he them. His
Jincle sat watting anxiously In the wagon
at the Jail gate. The services went on lor
about an hour and It was nearly 10 o'clock
when Havls asked permission of the sher
iff to he allowed to go around and say
goodbye to all his fellow prisoners. Sher
iff Ronan never denies a prisoner any re •
jquest that he can consistently grant,
especially on an Occasion like this when It
Is about the last request the condemned
tnan could make, and Davis was allowed
to go over the entire jail in charge of
Deputy Simmons and have a parting hand
shake with all his associates of a year's
e tandlng.
It was about 10 o'clock when he made
the lounds and returned to the ministers
who stood waiting for him at his cell
door. His parting with them was a
touching one and tears came In his eyes
as he told them good-by. He was, per
haps. never more certain of his death
than at that time. It was about this time,
however, that Mr. McKethan telephoned
to. Sheriff Ronan at the Jail, asking him
to delay the execution for an hour or two,
until Gov. Northen could be heard from
•finally and definitely on the subject. The
sheriff readily agreed to this proposition,
•IthOugh Davis had announced that he
was ready and it was about the time that
the death warrant w as to have been read
to him. preparatory to his going right to
the gallows. He had selected this time,
between 10 and 11 o'clock, though he could
as well have waited until 4 o'clock in the
afternoon had he desired to prolong his
agony of mind. Sheriff Ronan had agreed
Ivith Mr. McKethan to wait until 12 o’clock,
and when this was announced to Davis
he was rather disappointed, for he was
net Informed that any effort was being
made in his behalf, because the hope given
him might have been a false one.
The time passed on slowly until 10:35
o'clock, when Sheriff Ronan received a
telegram from the governor as stated
Bbove, reprieving Davis until Feb. 15. He
waited several minutes, in order to sat
isfy himself beyond any legal question
ing as to the genuineness of the telegram,
•nd then went Into the corridor of the
second floor, where Davis was still with
the ministers around him, and read it to
him. After reading it Sheriff Ronan said
to him.
"Davis, while there Is life there Is hope,
and if you behave yourself as you have
done since you have been here, there is a
chance that it may be better for you."
There was no doubt as to Davis' feeling
on the subject from the manner in which
he received it. He was overjoyed at the
thought that he had a longer lease on life,
with a possibility of ultimate escape from
the gallows, though for the moment he
could hardly believe what he had heard.
“I'll do that, Mr. Ronan,” was the re
ply. "I have always tried to behave my
self and I always will.”
"I told you. my brother,” Minister Black
said, "that prayer was a good thing, and
that faith in the Lord would not be un
rewarded."
The prisoners on the second floor, on
which Davis’ cell is located, heard the
r#zdir* of tfcA ani waa a
shout and a clapping of hand* mhich was
soon understood and taksn up by the* firit
and thAn the third floors, and a shout
wAnt up from thA crowd assembled out
?lda as soon as thA nAws was givAn them
ms to what had boon done. Davis shook
hand** with all thA ministers before they
left h;m. and for sometime they talked
i the matter over. Ha was then locked in
| his cell asain. to wait until Feb. IS, until
whfoh time he has some change for life
if can show In any way, that the kill
ing was accidental, as he claims, or hap
pened without any intention on his part.
Davb* never ceased to insist that his story
of the killing was th* true one, he hold
ing that it was entirely accidental.
Mr. McKethan did not l-arn of the gov
ernor’s action until some time after the
receipt of the trlegram to the sheriff. Gov.
Atkinson's telegram to him did not reach
him until about 11! o’clock, and, if that to
the sheriff had delayed until the
sam* time it might have her n too late, un
less a further postponement of the axa<*>j_
tion had been granted until 3 o'clo< k in the
afternoon.
Mr. McKethan has secured quite a vic
tory in this < rsa, viewed from one stand
point, and Davis’ escape was a narrow
one. His attorney will begin to look
around for other evidence, if possible to
And it. to show that Davis’ crime was not
murder, but that the killing was largely,
if not altogether accidental. His opinion
is that it is a case of manslaughter. A
petition to the governor in Davib’ behalf
will also be gotten up.
AT THE THEATER.
Mr. Edwin Milton Hoyle's Excellent
Performance of Friends.
A better play and a play better acted
than Friends is seldom seen. The audi
ence which saw Mr. Hoyle and his cap
able company last night witnessed ar ar
tistic performance of one of the bright
est and most wholesome plays of the clay,
one which tells a most Interesting story,
the characters of which are interpreted by
a company of unusual excellence.
Mr. Boyle was for several seasons a
member of the Booth and Barrett, the
Madison Square and Salvinl companies;
Mr. Henderson, the gifted actor pianist,
whose introduction dr a "muaicale” dur
ing the action of the play is one of its most
striking and original features, was a pupil
of Joseffy, and before becoming a mem
ber of Salvlni’s company, gained celebrity
on the concert stage; Mr. Lyons was for
years leading character actor with Henry
Irving and his London Lyceum Company,
and Mr. Allen was formerly with the old
California theater and gained his reputa
tion with McCullough; Mrs. Selena Fet
ter Hoyle, noted as one of the best dreused
actresses on the stage, played the lead
ing roles in nearly .all of Hobson and
Crane’s successes.
With such a notable company, a play as
well written as Mr. Hoyle has written
Friends could not he otherwise than well
acted. The author-actor has sketched
hits characters with discrimination and
consistency and the incidents are handled
with tact. While ordinarily it may be un
just to the leading actors in a play to
say that no one character is better acted
than another, in Friends it is largely true.
The production is a finished one. It needs
no further praise. Theater-goers who
miss it will miss one of the best plays
that has recently been seen on the Savan
nah stage. It will ho repeated at a spe
cial matinee this afternoon, and the con
cluding performance to-night. The mati
nee performance will be at regular prices.
IN TEMPORARY QUARTERS.
The Citizens Bank to Do Business for
the Present at Bryan and Abercoin
Streets.
Though the building has not yet been
turned over to the contractors, tho work
of tearing down the present quarters of
the Citizens Bank, at Drayton and
Bryan streets, will practically begin to
day.
The work of moving from the present
building to the temporary quarters which
the Citizens Bank is to occupy, at Bryan
and Abereorn streets in the building for
inery occupied by the Germania Bank,
was begun yesterday, and all of to-day’s
business will he transacted in the tempo
rary quarters. The old building will be
turned over to the contractors, Messrs.
M. T. Lew*man & Cos. of St. Louis on
Monday, and It is then that the actual
work of tearing down will begin.
The new’ hank is to be a stone building
and entirely fireproof. It is to he ready
for the hank to move into it about July
4. but will not be entirely completed be
fore about Sept. 1. It will be one of the
handsomest buildings, not Only in the
city, but in this part of the south, and
will be furnished throughout with all
the latest and most improved conveni
ences. and will be the only entirely fire
proof building in this city.
THE BILL ORDERED PAID.
The Registration List Not a Part of the
City Printing Contract.
At a meeting of the finance
committee of the city council yes
terday, Aldermen Myers, Mills,
Wells and McMillan being present, the hill
of the Morning News for SOBI, for publish
ing the city registration list, upon which
some comments have been made, was
unanimously passed for payment. The
hid of the Morning News as city printer
did not include the printing of the city
registration list, and it was so understood
at the meeting of council when the bid was
read before that body.
The registration lists were sent to the
Morning News for publication by Mr. F.
E. Rebarer, clerk of council. Mr. Rebarer
stated yesterday that at the time when it
became necessary to begin the publication
of the registration lists he had received
no copy bf the amended law ami was in
ignorance as to its requirements on this
point. He thought it safest to send the
list for publication to the official organ of
the city.
There were four publications of the lists,
whereas the law heretofore has required
but one publication. The rate charged
by the Morning News for this work was
nearly a third less than that charged for
transient advertising, and also was less
than the bid made by it for publishing
the county registration list.

manic ticket were unanimously endorsed.
Speeches were made protesting against
the Osborne ballot law’, because of its
operation to disfranchise that portion of
the colored vote w hich cannot read and

WAITING FOR ORDERS.
Capt. Weed May Hunt Borden to Get
Pay for tho Seamen on the Amadis.
Capt. Weed of the yatch Amadis, which
was detained a day or two ago by the
government authorities on the ground of
suspicion that she was to be used in a
filibustering expedition, has as yet re
ceived nothing definite from the owner,
G. H. Kimball of Cleveland, 0., and is
still here waiting to know what he de
sires done. The charter money for the
yacht has been paid, and the captain and
first engineer are taken care of, hut the
other members of the cretv were not
paid hy N. B. Borden, who hired them,
and Capt. Weed has been deliberating
as to whether he should go to Fernandinu
to see If he could collect their wages from
Borden. He will wait, however, to hear
from the yacht's owner with regard to
what course to pursue, and as soon as he
settles up all his business here he will re
turn at once to Boston.
Thafo seems to have been some ques
tion as to the right of the government
to detain the yatch, it having been re
ported that this question was raised by
Borden in Florida, and it has been sug
gested that he will take some steps
against those responsible for the detention
of the La Gonda at Fernandlna, and the
seizure of the arms which she had aboard.
Nothing has been heard, however, as to
whether lie. intends to take any such
steps with regard to the detention of the
Amadis, and, in fact, no word has been
received from him since the arrival of
the yacht In this rort.
A CASE OF LONG STANDING.
William Blodgett Arrested fora Mur
derous Assault Committed in 1891.
William Blodgett, colored, was arrested
hy Detective Morgan yesterday and put
in jail on an indictment found at the
March term of the superior court in
1891, Charging him with assault with in
tent to murder William Brooks, In
the early part of that year, at the Cen
tral railroad junction, about four miles
from the city.
Brooks was a white tramp, and after
some quarrel with Blodgett, the negro
got a shot gun and filled him full of
buck shot. Brooks was shot almost to
pieces, and was brought to the city, where
he was cared for at the city hospital,
until he finally recovered, after careful
treatment for several months. Blodgett
made his escape at the time, Hnd for
a year or two remained In South Carolina.
Recently he returned to the city, and De
tective Morgan, who has been looking
for him, learned that he was working at
the Commercial Guano Works, where he
went and arrested him. Blodgett is now'
in Jail, and if the witnesses can be se
cured, will likely be tried at the March
term of court.

A Partial Holiday and the Troops to
Parade.
Lee's birthday will be celebrated In
Savannah to-day by a partial suspension
of business and by a parade of the mili
tary. It will be a sort of general half
holiday. The cotton exchange and hoard
of trade will be closed all day and most of
the business offices and wholesale build
ings will close at 2 o’clock. The holiday
will be observed by the banks.
The military commands will meet at
their armories at 2 o'clock with orders to
march in full time to assemble on South
Broad street at 2:30 o'clock.
The general lines will be formed on
South Broad street under the row of trees,
the ‘right resting on Roll street facing
north, at 2:30 o'clock. In the following or

grounds promptly as soon as formed, on
Bull street to Gaston, passing the west
side of the squares, on Gaston to Dray
ton street, and on Drayton to the Park

and the general parade at once dismissed
that the several commanders may take
charge of their troops and dismiss those
who must be excused, and perform such
exercises as may be practicable.

where. The retail stores will remain open
as a matter of course, Saturday being al
ways a busy day with them. The com
manders of the military companies are
endeavoring to secure as large a turnout
of their men as possible.
HOBOS AND TRAINMEN SHOOT.
Conductor Frazier and a Lot of Bumper
Tourists Exchange Compliments.
Conductor Frazier, who runs a freight
train on the Lyons branch of the Savan
nah and Western railroad, had quite a
lively experience with a lot of Iramps a
short distance out of Savannah night be
fore last.
In pulling out from the city the train was
boarded by several tourists, who do not
stop at the Do Soto when they come to
Savannah. They took possession of an
empty box car and had evidently pre
pared to take an excursion into the wilds
of wiregrass Georgia. Their presence
aboard the train was discovered when It
reached the seven mile post.
The train was stopped, and the "gentle
men" from Florida were invited to dis
embark. The request was couched in
terms plain and not exactly parliamen
tary. It was obeyed, however. As the
train was pulling away from the scene
the tramp* drew revolvers and began fir
ing at Conductor Frazier and his porter,
who were on the rear platform. Conduc
tor Frazier and one of the train hands
drew revolvers and fired back at the party.
No one was hit aboard the train. Whether
nny of the tramps were hit is not known.
Master of Transportation Cubbedge of
the Centra], said yesterday that the con
ductors of freight trains on the line are
having a great deal of trouble this season
with trumps, who seem to throng the coun
try. The destruction of the orange crop
in Florida by the recent freeze has driven
hundreds of them from that state, and
they now Feem to be wandering westward.
They wait for the freight trains at the
way stations and water tanks and slip
into the empty box cars. As the freight
trains are run mostly at night the tramps
have little trouble in making their way
abiard. There is hardly a freight train
coming into or leaving Savannah now
that does not have from one to a dozen
■'hobos" as passengers.
TOURISTS ON THE MOVE.
The Season Looks Like a Better One
Than Has Been Seen in Two or Three
Years.
The tourist business is rapidly picking
up, and the season is becoming a lively
one. The De Soto Is Ailed with guests,
and the evenings around the hotel are
looking livelier than they have done in
some time.
The Florida hotels at Jacksonville, St.
Augustine and along the Indian river
route have opened for the season and
they are rapidly filling up. The Savan
nah, Florida and Western's New York
and Florida vestibuled train is carrying
tourists south at the rate of seventy
five to 100 every day. and rarely goes
through but that It is filled with pas
sengers. The other trains into Florida
from the north are also doing a good
business, and the northern tourists are
fast leaving their colder climates for
warmer regions. The prospects seem to
be that the tourist season will be heavier
than that of last year, and better than
it has been for the last two or three
years. The times seem to have improved
financially with the tourist class, and they
are on the move.

COL. BEVERLY WBBNN.
The New Passenger Traffic Manager of
the Plant System.
One of the most popular men among
the popular men of the south, says the
Pittsburg (Pa.) Press, is Col. Beverly IV.
Wrenn, who has just been appointed to
the position of passenger traffic mana
ger of the Plant Railway end Steamship
system. The Plant system of railroad*
and steamship lines is the most extensive
in the southeast, connecting Charleston,
8. (’., with Tampa, Fla., and running
fronting Brunswick. Ga_, to Montgomery,
the capital of Alabama. The steamship
Hr.es run from Tampa to Havana. Col.
Wrenn's appointment is a unique one
there being only three others in the
United Btates. all north of the Ohio and
Potomac rivers. The position is one which
in no way concerns or Interferes with
the general passenger agent or general
manager, but Is a sort of 'general over
seer to make the traffic for passengers
more convenient and speedy. It is a po
sition of great Importance, the true value
of which is not apparent to any one not a
railroad man.
Col. Wrenn is one of the best known
passenger men in the country. In IS6S
he was appointed general passenger agent
of the Western and Atlantic railroad,
and served them well for sixteen years,
when he accepted a like position with the
Fast Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia,
which he has Just left. When he took
hold of the East Tennessee It was one
of the most dubious railroads In the
L'nited States, and now It Is one of the
best in the south, ar.d it Is not saying too
much to say that the improve
ment is all due to the tire
less energies of Col. Beverly Wrenn.
He is eminently well qualified for the po
sition of manager of a great passenger
traffic, as all travelers south from Cin
cinnati to and beyond Chattanooga can
testify. The International League of
Press Clubs owes him a great debt of
gratitude for the pleasant trip which he
helped so materially to make for them
through the south last spring, and the
jolly laugh and Infectious good humor of
the colonel will always be one of the
pleasantest memories of that pleasant
trip.
Col. Wrenn is yet In the prime of life,
being Just 47 years old. and Is a south
erner. having been born in Virginia. His
life In the railroad business has been a
long round of successes, and if time spares
him, as it Is devoutly hoped that It will,
he bids fair to become one of our greatest
railroad men. Hts headquarters will be
In Savannah, but he can safely register
as from "The Southeast,” for that Is as
much Identification as A man of hts
prominence needs. The Plant system is
to be congratulated on the appointment,
and the only reason that it might mili
tate against congratulating the colonel
Is that the place is not big enough for
him, big as it Is.
