Special to The Herald. Atlanta, Ga., March 2.—Sensational developments have followed the re cent raid on the Cannon hotel in which nine supposed professional beg gars were caught. The nollce now be- 'lleve they have butted into a gang of professional thieves and safe crackers. A bag found in the room occupied by th'e men arrested was found to con tain a complete safe cracker’s layout and four loaded revolvers of large cal ibre. Clark, who is believed to be the leader of the alleged gang, was ar raigned before the recorder yesterday and bound oVer to the state courts un der a $5,000 bond on the charge of vagrancy. There is no positive evi dence against the man, but the bond was made large enough to hold him until the police can make a thorough investigation to find out his true char acter. There have been a number of daring robberies lu Atlanta and some clever safe cracking in towns near here. The police think that the gang had headquarters in this city and op erated in the surrounding country at will. PHILIPPINE TARIFF BILL IS KILLED Senate Committee Effectually Disposes of the Measure.

THE TROUBLE AT NANCHANG CAUSED BY FRENCH CATHOLICS. Nanchang, China, March 1.—Fifteen Methodist, twelve English Protestant and fourteen French Catholic mission aries were in the city last Thursday night, when the Frbnch Catholics had a quarrel with an official over a suit for the possession of property. Great excitement prevailed on Fri day. A mass meeting was held on Saturday and was followed on Sunday by a riot, during which the property of Catholics was burned. The Protest ants took refuge in the adjoining house of Mr. Kingman. The house was burned and six priests and two members of the Kingman family were killed. The Chinese governor attempted to check the riot and rescue the mission aries. The men of the Methodist mis sion, aided by Chinese soldiers, took their school girls to Chinese homes in the city and brought Miss Hoyt and Miss Kahn from a hospital. All took refuge In mid-river in a launch, which was furnished by Chi nese officers. The launch waited until Chinese soldiers brought the remain ing missionaries at daylight on Mon day. The launch reached Kiuklang on Tuesday. The wounded Kingman girl died on the way. MILLS B. LANE ./ A fcittle Pleasantry When a . Witness Was Cross-Exam ined in ethe Greene and Gaynor Trial. Zens and Southern Bank, financial institution south Special to The Herald. Savannah, Ga„ March 2.—If there is' one thing more than another that Mills B. Lane, president of the Citi- the largest of Balti more, is noted for it is his bachelor hood. Next to'that the fact that his ,head Is devoid of hair is his chief con cern. Mr. Lane, since he came to Sa vannah from Valdosta some fifteen years since, has become one Of the South’s most Important financiers. Yesterday he went upon the stand to give testimony in the Greene and Gay nor case. He was taken in charge by the counsel for the defense for cross- examination. Col. P. W. Meldrim con ducted the examination. This collo quy ensued: Question: "You have been* with the Citizens Bank how many years?" . Answer: “Fourteen years.” Q. “Married or single?” A. “Single.” Q. “And your age?” » A. “Forty-five.” “You may come down.” Absolutely, this was every question the defense had to ask him. The bank Alt any Machinery Co. president enjoyed the joks as lpucli as anyone. ' HEMORRHAGE OF BRAIN CAUSE OF DEATH. Death of Pugilist Result of Knock-out Blows. Neil’s San Francisco, March 2.—The direct cause of the death of Harry Tenny, the pugilist who died yesterday as the result of a fight with Neill Wed nesday night, was hemorrhage of the brain. Dr. Kucich, who performed aq autopsy, said the bone above the right eye was brokep by Neil’s blows, and that the eye sank into the head. Death was not caused by poison or a narcotic, nor from a weak heart, as was rumored last night. Penny’s phy sical condition was perfect. wa; Chinese could have blocked the pas sage of the launch during the twelve hours' journey down the river, but they were friendly. Rev.. A. P. Quirmbach, a Methodist, remained at Nanchang to care for property. He is under the protection of the governor and is probably safe. The cause of the riot was local. Serious blame attaches, to ,the French Catholics. Chinese, i friendly to the missionaries, object to .priests exer cising civil functions. There is much discussion througo- out China, but there is no indication of a general Uprising agalnBt foreign ers. Alderman R. J. Davant And Seems to Be the Coming Candidate Against Pres ent Administration. Special to The Herald. Savannah, Ga., March 2.—Does Al derman R. J. Davant, chairman of the Fire Committee, entertain any Idea of running for mayor In the campaign that will be on for that office in the near future? This is the question that many Savannahiqns have asked them selves during the last few months. It Is possible that one or the other par ties in Savannah may ask Alderman Davant to head Its' ticket. Just what he would do in the event such a thing occurred is only conjecture. At a recent meeting of those op posed to the present city administra tion every criticism brought forth tests from the audience that Alderman Davant must be excluded from blame. This first attracted attention to him as a factor in the" campaign of the op position. Alderman Davant lias tried hard to occupy a neutral position. He is right now engaged in a contest with his committee over the election of a city veterinarian to care for the sick horses of the fire department. His committee elected one man, but later, without the chairman’s consent, the majority of the committee, having changed their minds, put the one who had been fired back in charge, and this has caused a row all around. It is said that Alderman Davant even threatened resignation from the com mittee. WORST STORM OF WINTER RAGING. IN NEBRASKA. Lincoln, Neb., March 2.—Dispatches from western and northern portions of the state say that the worst storm of winter has been,raging for the last twenty-four hours. Communications and traffic are demoralized. Try a pound of North Georgia block butter, 25c a pound. Phone 70. W. E. FIELDS. The Propensity to Strike Seems to Be on Increase Among Negro Laborers of Nearly All Classes. Strikes are getting to be the order of the times in Albany. The latest strike that has been called to attention is that of the cab-, men. Just a few days ago the opera house stage hands struck. Today, It was learned from E. W. Livingston & Co., who run a regular cab and hack line in Albany, that .all the cabmen were on a strike, and that the cabs were In the stable, for want of drivers. The Btrllte is pretty gen eral, but doesn’t include all the hack- men in town, it was learned. The cause of the strike is unknown. It is not known what concessions the cabmen want. It. may be that their employers were requested to do the driving and refused,, that the cabmen contended that the passengers shquld jdo the driving, that they wanted softer cushions on which to sit, or embroid ered reinB, and silk gloves, for all that could be learned. It seems that the negroes have caught the strike contagion and are striking right and left, just. for .the sake, of the strike. Negroes, like most human beings, like to feel themselves indispensable, and on rainy days; when the cabs are badly needed, they do love ,to haye- the whites beg them, to, work, or whotjf a big show is In -town, with carloads of scenery, dbsoj ■luteiy essential for the tyresentatlon of -*— hands' soj Springfield, 0., March 2,—Last night passed without a repetition of the riotous scenes of the previous two nights here.

Miss Laura West and Mr. Alfred Of Execution-Hearing on the Motion ofor a New Trial Adjourned Today to April 3rd. Hall came in last night from Worth county. They have been sweethearts for some time, it appears, but parental objections in the family of the young lady have prevented their marriage. i| That is why, when they left home yesterday evening, they told no one of their plan to cpme to Albany and be married.

While they were at the depot the father of the bride arrived on the B. & W. train, but missed the pair for whom he was seeking. He went up to the court house, only to learn that the birds had flown. Mr. West was in an irate frame of mind,, and it was perhaps well that he did not find his daughter and the man of her choice before his passion had had time to cool. He telephoned to Leesburg to have the license sought there denied. As in all cases of this kind, sympa thy is with the young pair whose love prompts them to defy the mandate of a stern parent and seek the realization of their dream by any means that may be made available. And as in all such cases, they will, of course, eventually outwit those who are now engaged in throwing obstacles in their path. eminent speakers on the nej physical and mental equipment for for eign mission work.
