the Week's Feat la I ties to an Fnl.
The third annua] music festival ended
last night. The week of music to which
the lovers of the art have looked forward
with pleasant anticipation all the win
ter was brought to a close by the matinee
and evening concerts at the theater. It
was a thoroughly enjoyable week, to
those who have listened, but great as
their pleasure, there was probably more
happiness to those who made the music.
Only those who joined in the singing
and who went faithfully through the drills
and rehearsals can entirely appreciate
the joy of endeavoring to interpret a no
ble composition under the leadership of
a skilled master; the pure delight of grad
ually overcoming difficulties, of being im-
toned with the Idea of the composer, un
til at last there comes a moment when,
as by inspiration, the entire chorus is
moved by his spirit, and the harmonies
of his brain find utterance in their voices.
This elevating experience has been
shared in by the musicians of Savannah
fpr three successive seasons, and they are
to be congratulated upon such opportuni
ties. How much the festivals have dons
for the musical culture of the city gen
erally it would be difficult to compute,
but there can be no question that they
have contributed largely to it.
At the matinee concert the ranks of
the chorus were somewhat thinned by
the Inability of all the tenors and bassos
to be present, and this perhaps gave a lit
tle unsteadiness to the opening number,
the "Pilgrim Chorus." from I Lombardi.
The rest of the chorus work, however, was
folly up to the mark, especially In the
final number. "Blessed is the People,"
which was rendered with great spirit and
precision. In this Mr. I. M. White ad
ded much to the effect by his skill in
handling the large organ at the back of
the stage.
Rossini s "Charity," arranged for ladles
■voices, the solo parts by Miss Howard
and Miss Lesesne, was charmingly sung,
and was followed by the always popular
•'Blue Bells of Scotland," in which there
was fine exhlbtion of Dr. Palmer's power
to bring out the most delicate shading.
The piano passages were specially good.
Caldicott’s dainty song "The Boy and
the Bee," was presented by Miss Caruth
ers. Mrs. \V. A. Bishop. Mr. James Deacy
and Mr. A. F. King in a manner that
showed them to be fully alive to Its hu
mor as well as to its sweet musical
phrases.
The ladies quartette, "Good Night," by
Goldberg, was tenderly sung by Miss
Howard, Miss Coldlng Miss Blun and
Miss Gross, and the quartette, "Annie
Laurie," which was In the programme of
the evening before, was repeated by re
quest, the parts being taken by Misses
Lesesne. Howard, Bates and Gross.
A semi-chorus of twenty-live selected
voices gave Wattln'e “Indian Maid" re
markably well, and the male chorus was
again called on for "The Ship of Life."
The solos of Mrs. Haynes and of Mr.
Locke “Star of My Heart," and "For All
Eternity," were enthusiastically received'
and called for encores which were grace
fully acceded to. The gem of the concert
■was probably Nicoloa's trio “Tl
Prego, O’Padre,” by Mrs. Haynes,
Mr. Locke and Mr. Blots. It received, aa
It deserved, a storm of applause and was
a brilliant number magnificently ren
dered.
An Interesting feature of the concert,
and one that demonstrated what work the
chorus has been doing, was Dr. Palmer's
call upon It to sing at sight "Sleigh Ride,"
an arrangement from one of Gottschalk's
well known piano compositions, a piece
that had not been rehearsed a single time.
It was well done, much to the surprise
and satisfaction of the audience.
As we predicted in the Morning News
yesterday, the evening concert was the
culmination of the festival, which went
out In a blaze of glory. No more bril
liant musical occasion has ever brought
the people together and there was In it
every element to awaken and sustain the
enthusiasm.
The beautuful dresses of beautiful wo
men. the close sympathy between singers
and audience, the tasteful decorations af
the stage, the spirit of harmony that per
vaded the house and the noble music that
was presented, all conspired to make the
evening one that will long be remem
bered.
The concert begun with Part Three of
Hadyn's Oratorio of the Creation—the
masterpiece of a great master. Among
Thoee familiar with the difficulties as well
as with the beauties of his sublime Ora
torio, there was some apprehension that
work had been assigned the festival cho
rus beyond its powers, but to them as
to all In the audience, the manner of its
production was a most gratifying sur
prise. It will be a pleasure to all who
took part to tt to know that no one more
(heartily appreciates their labors and the
success attained than Dr. Palmer him
self, who says without reserve that he
has never known better work done with
so brief a period of preparation.
The opening trio. "On Thee Each Living
Soul Awaits,” was sung by Miss Marie
Irfsesne. tyr. J. A. Bates and Mr. W. N.
Bmith. It was followed by the recitative,
•'ln Rosy Mantle,” by Mr. Bates, who in
this as to the other recitatives showed
most Intelligent appreciation of the scene
end rendered it with spirit and feeling.
It is evident that to him "The Creation"
Is an old familiar friend.
Other solo parts were taken by Miss
Marie Lesesne, Miss I*lorie Colding. Mr.
Albert Mozer and Mr. Blois—each of them
Interpreting the work with conscientious
ness and skill.
The duet “Graceful Consent.” by Miss
ILesesne and Mr. Blois, was particularly
Probably nothing on the pro
gramme more so. The movement Is easy
and gliding full of delicate effects and Us
rendition was singularly good.
It seems always a step down from
Hadyn to any one else, yet the numbers
of the second part were so well selected
that the transition was not too marked.
It comprised Sebastian’s La Vella by Mrs.
Haynes, Donizetti’s “Deserto in Terra, ’
by Mr. Locke. The flower song from Faust
by Mrs. Schreiner. The Trio Le Pregou
Padne, by Mrs. Haynes and Mr. Locke,
and Mr. Blois, and the following numbers
for tho chorus: Brahm's "Lullaby," Lem
men's "Rain Drops,” Bishop’s "Tramp,
Tramp, O'er Moss and Fell,” and as a
grand finale, the 43rd Psalm, "Judge Me
Oh, Lord,” by Mendelssohn.
It is impossible to dwell particularly
upon the merits of each of these. Two or
three of the choruses were encored—rather
on unusual thing In most concerts.
Mrs. Harrison, Miss Alice Bates and Mr.
■White were again to the front at piano
and organ and a very large measure of
the great success is due to them.
The stage decorations were arranged by
Mr. W. M. Cleveland and were much ad
mired.
There was a presentation of lovely flow
ers. calls for a speech from Mr. Bates,
'•'h'ch his modesty prevented him from
responding to. The Festival yell, cheers
.j- Dr. Palmer, and the festival was ut
•n end.
COlfiTßl VISITORS TO THE CITY.
Savannah's Railroad Vehedslra Con
venient for Then.
The advantages to business men, and
particularly to merchants, of convenient
railroad schedules are greater than are
sometimes appreciated. Savannah has
never had a more convenient arrangement
of railroad schedules Into Middle, South
and Southwest Georgia and into South
Carolina than It now has, and It is being
taken advantage of by merchants who
send out traveling men and by country
people who coroe into the city to buy
goods.
Commfctsloner Knapp, of the Freight
Bureau, has issued a circular to the mem
bers, calling attention to this fact.
The Plant system has recently inaugu
rated a schedule leaving Waycross 5:40
a. m . arriving at Savannah 5:45 a. m ,
returning leaving Savannah 5:45 p. m.. ar-
Ivlng at Way. ross 8:50 p. m. These trains
make all local stops, connecting at Jcsup
with the Eiast Tennessee trains north and
south bound, and at Waycross with the
trains from and to Brunswick, from and
to Albany and from and to Thomasville,
Bainbrldge and Montgomery.
The new schedule of the Florida Cen
tral and Peninsular shows a schedule
on Savannah end Columbia division leav
ing Denmark 7:10 a. m , arriving at Savan
nah 10:55 a. m., returning leaves Savan
nah 4 p. m.. arriving at Denmark 7:30
p. m. These trains make local stops and
connect at Fairfax for stations on the
Port Royal and Augusta between Fair
fax and Augusta, carrying through cars
between Savannah anil Augusta Sched
ules on Savannah and Jacksonville divi
sion leaves Jacksonville 8:20 a. m., arri
rives at Savannah 12:45 p. m.; returning
leaves Savannah 9 p. m., arriving at
Jacksonville 6:30 a. m. The train stop at
all local stations If (lagged.
The Central railroad has a train leav
ing Rocky Ford 6:30 a. m.. arriving at
Savannah Sa. m.; returning leaves Savan
nah 6 p. m., arriving at Rocky Ford 8:30
p. m. From stations beyond Rocky
Ford passengers take regular through
train arriving at Savannah 5:56 a. m., re
turning leaves Savannah 9 p. m. They
have also a train between Savannah and
Lyons, connecting with the Savannah.
Amerlcus and Montgomery railroad, leav
ing Lyons 1:30 a. m.. arriving at Savan
nah 5:45 a. m.. returning leaves Savan
nah 7:40 p. m., arriving at Lyons 11:45
p. m.
The schedules referred to above show
the facilitfies passengers have for com
ing into thp city and returning the same
day, allowing them to make their pur
chases, losing only a day from home and
saving them the expense of staying over
night In the city. In this way many more
people come to the city to buy goods and
supplies than would come if they were
compelled to remain over two days.
TO CANVASS FOR FUNDS.
Committee* to Brain Work To-day
for May Week.
The May week committee met at the
city exchange yesterday afternoon at 5
o’clock. The following committees were
appointed to complete the canvass of the
city for funds for the festival entertain
ment.
Broughton street and from South Broad
street to Congress street lane—l. M. Ap
pel, S. Keouskoff, J. C. Shaw.
Congress street and north to Bay street
lane—B. H. Levy and W. J. Lindsay.
Bay street—R. E. Pepper, J. F. B. Beck
with and J. W. Fretwell.
Mr. W. M. Bohan was added to the gen
eral committee.
Some pertinent remarks were made by
the chairman, Mr. W. W. Starr, on the
subject of the festival, before the ad
journment of the meeting. “The trouble
to getting up theee affairs,'’ said Mr.
Starr, "Is that the main Idea with every
one interested seams to be, what am I go
ing to make out of this. We can never
make a success of a. festival week as
long as this idea Is kept to the front.
People who subscribe to these affairs
should not do so with the Idea that they
are going to get their money back Im
mediately with a profit. While these cele
brations are Intended to help the trade
of the.ctty they are meant also to adver
tlse'it, to popularize It and to keep It to
the prosit In the minds of the people of the
surrounding country. Every resident of
Savannah Is helped by these entertain
ments, Indirectly If not directly. Those
who are asked to su'oscrlbe have no right
to say that they will get no bencht from
the affair because they have nothing to
sell the people who come here. What helps
the city helps everybody In the city, and
it Is the duty of all good citizens who are
able to do so to aid In making a success
of anything which benefits the city. That
Is the ground upon which we ask the aid
of business men of all classes for this en
terprise and not on the ground that the
few dollars put out now will return ten
fold Immediately.”
Mr. Starr’s remarks were unanimously
approved. Tho canvassing committees
will begin work at once and the general
committee will be called together early
next week to receive their reports.
TO DE TRIED TO-UAY.
Lemuel Davis Charged Willi the
Murder of 'William M. Rawls.
Lemuel Davis will be tried for his life
to-day. He Is under Indictment on a
charge of the murder of William Rawls.
The killing took place last July near Dav
is’ restdene on West Broad street.
Rawls, who was a clerk at the Central
railroad offices, was on his way to work in
the morning when he was met by Davis,
and some warm words ensued, which end
ed by Davis drawing a pistol and shoot
ing Rawls In the abdomen. Rawls lin
gered for some time at the Savannah hos
pital, when some complications set in,
and his death followed. It is believed
that part of the defense will be the claim
that Rawls’ death was not due directly
to the pistol shot wound, but that it fol
lowed from other causes as well.
The shooting Is alleged to have been
brought about in consequence of Rawls'
attentions to Davis’ wife, which the lat
ter considered annoying and improper.
Hon. F. G. dußignon has been engaged by
the defense. Solicitor General Fraser will,
of course appear for the state.
The Georgia Loan Case.
The trial of the ease of the Georgia
State Building and Loan Assoeiatton
against Ella Brown, foreclosure on a deed
to secure debt, was proceeded with before
Hon. Pope Barrow, Judge pro hae vice, in
the city court yesterday. Mr. J. R. Saus
sy, Jr., began the Argument for plaintiff.
The court adjourned at 4 o'clock and the
case will be taken up again at 10 o’clock
this morning.

Hon. J. J. McDonough has completed
his report of tho city's affairs during
1891. This Is Mr. McDonough's fourth
annual report as mayor, and his final
one, for some time at least. The report
contains many things of interest to the
citizens generally, and the statements
and recommendations it contains are
worthy of careful study and considera
tion. The report opens with a statement
of the city's finances during last year, as
follows:
Cash on hand Jan. 1 3 19.267 08
Receipts for the year 772,684 75
Amount thus available to meet
expenses and obligations accru
ing during 1894 791,961 83
Expenditures 781,318 63
Balance In treasury at end of
year 10,633 20
The budget allowed 310,000, says the re
port, for necessary paving, but the work
done, including Jefferson street, cause an
outlay for paving of 321,472.92. But for
this excess the expenditures for all pur
poses would have been less than the to
tal of the budget.
"The determination expressed in the
previous report of the mayor to operate
the city government with economy was
rigidly adhered to, and many of the de
partments were run even at less cost
than was estimated for in the budget.
At the close of the year the city owed
nothing in the nature of a boating debt,
except installments on the water works
contract and for the opening of streets
in the southern limits. The payment of
such of these Installments as become due
In 1895 have been provided for in the
budget, being included in the items of
new water works and opening streets.
All bills rendered for running expenses
were paid on or before Dec. 31, 1594, thus
leaving intact the appropriations for 1895,
which are fully adequate to meet a con
servative administration of public affairs.
Such sums as were paid In December for
purchases to be made in 1895, such pur
chases having been made under circum
stances deemed advantageous to the city
public service, and amounting In all to
less than 32,000, were placed in the items
In the budget for 18%, and no unusual pur
chases were made or expenses Incurred In
1894 to be paid for in 1895 that were In any
manner connected or grew out of the op
erating of the government during 1894."
The following is the amount of notes
Issued by the city government, now out
standing:
For opening streets, payable 1895,
at 7 per cent. Interest $ 4,500
For opening streets, payable 1805. at
7 per cent, interest 5,000
For opening streets, payable 1896, at
6 per cent. Interest 6,000
For opening streets, payable 1896, at
7 per cent Interest 4,000
For opening streets, payable 1896, at
7 per cent. Interest 6,000
For opening streets, payable 1897. at
7 per cent 4,000
For opening streets, payable 1897, at
7 per cent 5,000
$33,500
For new water works, payable 1895,
at 6 per cent. Interest SIB,IBO
For new water works, payable 1896,
at 5 per cent. Interest 18,180
$36,360
Total notes outstanding S6S,S6O
Those due in 1895, as previously stated,
are provided for in the budget for that
year. These notes, as well as those paid
to 1894 and at other times, were issued to
every Instance In accordance with the
action of council taken on different occa
sions during several years. The amount
stated Is the total outstanding debt of the
city, other than Its bonded debt, up to
date.
A glance at the budget will show that
$14,500 has been provided for the opening
streets account tn 1895 over and above the
amount fixed for payment of notes to be
come due during the said year.
In, reference to the health department
Mayor McDonough has a number of inter
esting things to say. He urges the ne
cessity of abandoning Laurel Grove ceme
tery as a place of burial and the necessity
of securing another cemetery at a greater
distance from the city. On the subject
of the South Broad Street cemetery he
says:
"The old cemetery on South Broad
street remains as ever on account of its
delapidated and uncared for condition, a
rebuke to the community. Truly some
thing should be done towards beautifying
it and to secure the malntalnance of the
place In a manner worthy of its character.
If on account of the litigation now pend
ing the care and improvements of the en
tire cemetery is not feasible and should It
remain probable that the litigation will
last for some time, and the present status
of the case continue, then the city author
ities, if it is legal to do so, should have
the bodies within the portion hereto re
garded as being controllable by the city
removed, the walls taken down and Lin
coln street opened through to Perry street
lane for the public convenience. If the
law forbids this then there Is evidently
nothing to be done but to await the final
disposition of the case by the courts with,
perhaps, the result that this eyesore must
remain unabated because of the fact that
under the law it ts not In the power of the
city authorities to remedy the matter.”
The mayor does not view with favor the
present mode of furnishing the sick poor
with medicine. In speaking of the sys
tem, he says:
It has proven to be very expensive, and
on account of favoritism and other ir
regularities which seem to be creeping
into it, and cannot easily be prevented,
the system is Would be changed. Two
dispensaries operated by the city under
strict rules and proper conduct would
prove less expensive, give better service
and be more acceptable to those com
pelled, and in many eases by misfor
tune, to obtain medicine from this source.
The use of covered carts for the re
moval of garbage is again recommended.
The passage of an ordinance fixing a
standard in connection wtth the exam
ination of applicants for the police force
is recommended. On the conduct of san
itary matters the mayor has the following
to say:
The present mode of conducting the
health departmenta of the city u suscep
tible of much Improvement. I'nder the
present system the sanitary board Is but
an advisory board and has no power to
create ordinances or to enforce sani
tary laws except through the officers of
the city, and thus only as far as the ordi-
nances fixing its duties and the duties
of officers permit.
The health and cemetery committee of
council la charged with the responsibil
ity of the expenditures of the entire
health departmen’ with all its branches.
This committee should be added to the
sanitary board, not simply by the ap
pointment of the chairman of the com
mittee, but by the appointment of the
entire committee, with duties Incumbent
upon them to carry out the action of the
sanitary board. This would give to the
city the benefit of the business capacity
of the committee and give to the latter
full knowledge of the necesalty for and
the opportunity of passing upon each de
tail of expense incurred In the enforce
ment of health regulations. The officers
would then becom- directly responsible
to the committee as representatives of
council, for the performance of duties as
to health measures In the same
manner ae prevails with
regard to duties performed by officers of
other departments of the city. With quar
antine, scavenger, O. E. M., and other
departments, adjuncts of the health de
partment, centralized under -,.e health
and cemetery committee, much saving in
coat of operating same would follow.
Much more practical service could be ex
acted, and better sanitary work accom
plished under the supervision of the
health officer, the executive officer of the
health department.
The work of the drainage committee and
especially the chairman, is commended.
The mayor recommends that the Bilbo
and Perry street lane canals be fenced
to prevent the cows from trampling the
aides and drinking the filthy water. He
favors the concentration of the drainage
of the city and county, under one head.
The city drainage, he says, should be un
der the same system as that of the county
drainage and be operated by the county
authorities. An appropriation could be
made by the city for its pro rata of the
cost, he says, and under this arrangement
much expense could be saved the public,
and the work be more effectively done.
The careful consideration of the succeed
ing council to this raauer is requested.
Mayor McDonough is of the opinion that
the county Bhould bear the entire burden
of the city court. He says: “The city
court still continues a cost to the city
although the city government derives uo
benetit from the service performed there,
and for which It has to, pay. A law en
acted by the state relieving the city from
the obligation of paying for any portion
of the service rendered at said court, and
of the other expenses attached thereto,
now paid by the city, would be wise and
proper legislation.
The mayor commends the Are depart
ment highly,. The work of the depart
ment, he says, continues such as to re
tain for its officers and members the
confidence of the citizens. The committee
on fire ‘has been an efficient one, and the
good condition and discipline of the de
partment has been greatly enhanced by
the hearty support given by the com
mittee to the chief In his management
of this important branch of the public
service.
The following Interesting information
furnished toy the city engineer is incorpor
ated In the report as a matter of general
interest:
"The area of the Incorporated limits
of the city of Savannah is five and one
tenth square miles, and within its boun
daries are ninety-six and five-tenths lin
eal miles of streets and twenty lineal
miles of lanes. On these streets there
are three and seven-tenths lineal miles
of asphalt pavement, nine and one-tenth
lineal miles of stone pavement and four
and one-tenth lineal miles of oyster shell
pavement. In the streets are laid thir
teen miles of street railroads and sixteen
and seven-tenths lineal miles of sewers
constructed with 782. catch basins. The
area of the parks aifd squares is fifty
four and eight-tenths acres. The city is
at present lighted by 293 electric arc
lights, each light being of 600 standard
candle power.”
The amount due the city for paving is as
follows:
Jefferson street—shelled 3 77 gi
Jefferson street—granite blocks.... 8,914 05
Liberty street—asphalt 18,422 02
Bull street—asphalt 939 58
Total $28,353 46
For the above amounts there are execu
tions In the hands of the city marshal ex
cept for the Jefferson street paving.
The water works department, the report
says, has been well managed. The re
port recommends that the wells at the old
water works and also the river be connec
ted by conduit with the new works to or
der that there may be a full supply of
water under ai*- circumstances.
Under the head of "general remarks” the
mayor recommends that the city establish
a poor fund to be placed with a commit
tee of citizens chosen with reference to
their knowledge of the circumstances of
the unfortunate and their necessities, to
be dispensed by the committee for the tem
porary relief of cases brought to Its at
tention by the mayor or through other re
liable sources.
The Improvement Of the council room Is
strongly recommended In order that the
deliberations of the body may be given a
more dignified appearance and the mem
bers of the board saved the Indignity and
Inconvenience of being crowded by spec
tators on the occasion of meetings of un
usual Interest, especial reference being
had to elections. Mayor McDonough con
cludes his report as follows:
The mayor takes occasion to congratu
late the aldermen on the results of their
labors In the interest of good government
and for the protection of the city’s wel
fare—and to thank them for the assistance
and encouragement he has met with at
their hands to the discharge of the duties
of his office.
The city officers have performed their
duties Judiciously and promptly and the
experience of many of the heads of de
partments by reason of long service has
proven of great value In the administra
tion of public affairs. Faithful service,
efficiency and proper attention to details
of the office* entrusted to them has been
regarded by the occupants as a sure way
to the confidence and support of the pub
lic and a consequent retention in their
positions. This result has obtained to the
government of our city for years and
with good effect, prompt attention to
business in a dignified and courteous man
ner on the part of the city officers being
a matter of general comment and of sat
isfaction to the pu-bllc.”
The report was written prior to the re
cent city election, and the then mayor
takes occasion to condemn the policy of
holding out offices as reward for political
service rendered towards the election of a
mayor and aldermen. He does not think
this policy conducive to the public good
or that it will insure the administration
of public affairs with dignity or to the
best interests of the city.

Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report
Absolutely pure
SENATORS HAD A WALKOVER.
THE PIRATES BARELY SAVED
THEMSELVES A WHITEWASH.
The Score to 1 in Washington's
Fa vor-Three Scattered Hits All
That Pittsburg Got— Scbmels'a Men
Landed It Hite. Two of Which
Were Home Hans—Another Game
To-day.
There must be a difference between
the base ball grounds in this city and
those in Augusta. Pittsburg lost three
straight %ame to Brooklyn here last
week, went to Augusta Monday, took the
Bridegrooms In camp for two straight
games, returned to the city and barely
saved themselves from a whitewash by
Schmelz’s team yesterday afternoon.
The Senators had a walkover, only al
lowing the Pirates one run, while their
column figured up nine. Pittsburg put up
a good game, but Inability to hit the
Vashington twirlers accounts for their bad
defeat. Three scattered hits were all
they coud get off Mercer and Mullarky.
The Senators on the other hand touched
up Killeen and Hawley for eleven hits,
two of which were home runs by Cart
wright and Nicholson. Cartwright seems
to put the ball over left field fence with
the greatest of ease. He Is making a rec
ord on home runs. One a day for the last
three games is not so bad.
Washington scored four runs in the sec
ond Inning,' two In the third, two in the
fifth and one in the sixth. Pittsburg’s only
run was scored in the fifth Inning and
Monte Cross was the man who saved his
team from being whitewashed. Monte
reached first by being given his base on
balls, stole second and third as only Monte
Cross can do, and scored on Donovan’s
hit.
There was only one umpire at yester
day’s garqe. He was Hart of the Pitts
burg team. His decisions were fair and
there was no serious kicking.
The official and correct score of the
game ts as follows:

There is a man in the Savannah hospi
tal with a bullet hole through his breast
and left lung, and, while the wound is a
serious one, and one that would ordi
narily appear fatal, he is resting easy,
and his physicians think he has excellent
chances for recovery.
The wounded man Is J. E. Ainsworth, of
Thomasville. He has a contract with
the Sapelo Lumber Company and for some
time has been working near
in Mclntosh county. Wednesday after
noon about dusk he was pushing a loaded
handcar on one of the lumber tramways
in the woods, when his pistol, which he

Jesse Small-. Death at the Georgia
Infirmary.
Jess Small died at the Georgia Infirmary
yesterday morning. The immediate cause
of Small's death was pneumonia resulting
from a wound in the left breast which
penetrated the lung.
Small was stabbed by his sister, Lottie
Small, at their home near Thunderbolt
about two weeks ago. The two quarreled
over some trivial matter. Small attempted
to correct his sister which she resented
and stabbed him in the left breast with
a knife, making an ugly wound. Small
was taken to the Georgia Infirmary where
It was seen that his wound was a mortal
one. He lingered longer than was ex
pcct&d.
Detective Morgan Investigated the caso
and arrested Lottie Small last week on
a warrant charging her with assault with
intent to murder. She was committed to
Jail by Justice Russell. Coroner Goette
was notified of Small’s death yesterday
morning, and spent considerable time
looking' up the evidence In the case. The
Inquest will be held at his office this
morning at 10 o’clock.
