DESERTED HIS FAMILY
Walter Rennie Skips, Leaving His
Wife and Baby PennileBS.
The following is taken from the
Brunswick Call:
‘‘W. Ogden Rennie, who was head
clerk at the Oglethorpe hotel when
Manager Weiss was running that hos
telry, shamefully deserted his wife and
child when be left Brunswick, and
they were left destitute and without
any means for subsistence.
A Morning Call reporter obtained
rhe above facts at the home of Mrs.
H. N. Gann, 405 G. street, where
Mrs. Rennie and her child have been
living since they were deserted in the
latter part of December last.
Rennie, it appears, has grossly de
ceived his wife ever since leaving this
city, and the only money he has sent
her was SI, which came about Jan.
3rd, after he had sailed from Jackson
ville aboard a schooner for the West
Indies.
Mrs. Rennie did not know ot her
husband’s where-aboats until Tuesday
when Captain Gessner in the British
schooner Jennie Parker arrived from
Martinique bringing her a letter Irom
him. It stated that he was 'strapped’
and had not a cent with which he
could return to the states on.
Captain Gessner says that he met
up with Rennie and David Brennan,
the latter who was connected with the
sewerage system here, and that the
two made themselves known on the
island as .two brothers—the Messrs.
Rennie. "‘They told their mission,’
says Captain Gessner, ‘and stited that
they were the direct heirs to the estate
on the island of an uncle who died
wealthy some years ago and had gone
over to inherit their fortune. Their
claim ot relationship to royal blood
has but little efiect, however.’”
W. Ogden Rennie is well known in
Thomasville. He lived here for sev
eral years and married here. The
news of his deserting his wife will Dot
cause much surprise as no one here
had any confidence in him.
His wife has many frirnds here who
will sympateize with her in her troub
les.
Missionary Meeting.
The Wynn Missionary Society will
meet in the Epworth League room at
the Methodist church this afternoon at
half past three o’clock. A full attend*
anco desired.

this afternoon at three o’clock in
Kindergarten room, Jackson and
Crawford streets. A class is to be
formed for the study of child nature
and the Kindergarten training tor
children. All mothers interested are
cordially invited.
The postponement ot the Bal
Poudre, which [.was to come ofl
to-night at the Piney Woods Hotel,
will be a disappointment to many.
The postponement, however, is only
for a short time. The management
will fix another date as soon as prac
ticable.
Judge H. G. Whitlock, of Jackson-
sonvillo, Ilia., is in the city. He is
stopping at the Masury. The Judge
has spent two seasons here and has
many frienda who are pleased to see
him here again.
The Piney Woods waiters quartette
entertained the guests of tho Masury
last night with a concert.
Allowed to Go.
Jim Slater, the negro boy arrested
last Saturday by Marshal Spair and
Policeman Martin for building a fire
underithehouse of Mr. J. A. Hurston
Love street, was given ’a preliminary
trial before Squire Bibb yesterday
afternooD. The evidence introduced
was in substance the same as stated in
these columns last Sunday morning.
Capt. Hansell conducted the prosecu
tion. It was clearly proven that the
boy built the fire, but there was no
evidence to show that he intended to
burn the house. The day was cold
aDd the boy said he built the fire lo
warm his hands. Judge Bibb evident
ly believed the story told by the boy
aud allowed him to go on bis own
recognizance until the grand jury dis
posed of the case finally.
Ot Tender Years.
There was an effecting scene this
morning in the United States court.
John Dohlberg, a little 12-tear-old'
boy, was broUght from Thomasville to
answer to the charge of breaking open
a box in the postofflee. He in some
way obtained a key and entered the
box of J udge Hansell.
His mother was with him. She
wept as the little boy signed his name
to the plea of guilty. Don P. Groover,
esq., of Bulloch county, appeared for
the boy and asked for mercy on ac
count of his tender ago. Judge Speer
suspended sentence and stated that he
would petition the president for the
pardon of the boy.—Savannah Press.
One of the most attractive costumes
at the Karoival of Kommerce on
Tuesday oveniDg was the one worn by
Miss Pattie Mash, who represented
the Monon Route, In addition to the
name of the road, appeared the name
of Mr. Frank J. Reed, the general
passenger agent of the road, and who,
bysthe way, is one of the most genial
of passenger agents and fully as popu
lar with the traveling public as his
road. Mr. GladiDg, the local agent
of the Monon, never loses an oppor
tunity to put in a lick for his line and
he eeoures a largo amount of business
from this section.
Mr. James A. Blair and wife, of
New York, are in the city. They are
the guests ot Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Ew
art, on Dawson street. Mr. and Mrs.
Blair wete here for some weeks list
season and made many .friends wl o
are delighted to see them in Thomas
ville again, Mr. Blair is of the firm
of Blair & Co., ooe of the great bank
ing establishments of New York.
Washington’s birthday will be ap-
piopriatel; and patriotically observed
by the pupils ot the Allen Normal
School to-day. The exercises will
begin at 12:30 o’clock. Northern
visitors, os well as home folks, would
be interested in seeing how the rising
generation of the colored race observe
the natal day of the ‘‘father of his
country.”
There are quite a number of good
ball players, both local aDd visiting,
in town, and we see no reason why a
series of games cannot be arranged
tor these fine ^afternoons. Let the
local players get up a jtcam and chat-
enge the visitors. The public, we
have no doubt, would enjoy the
games.
Among yesterday’s arrivals at the
Piney Woods were: C. M. Fort, At
lanta; T. F. Indermille, Chicago; Ed
ward Livingston, New York; O. W.
Proper. Tionesta, Pa.; H. B. Stowell,

The guests of the Piney Woods will
engage in another one of those pleas
ant ^progressive euchre parties to

Thomasville, very naturally, feels
an interest in Capt, Fleming’s suc
cessor.
