which broke out at 10:20 o’clock to
night has wrought damage totalling
between >$75,000 and $100,000 and the

SAVANNAH, Ga., Nov. 20.—A des
perate battle that ended In the death
of Charlie Davis, one of the partici
pants, was fought in Tattnall county,
Georgia, Saturday afternoon, when
Eugene Edwards. 19 years old, avenged
the murder of his father, A. J. Ed
wards, a prominent farmer of the
county, who Jiad been shot dead by
the negro Davis just a few minutes
before.
Additional reports of the affair,
received today, show that it was far
more sensational than was Indicated
by the first meagre Information.
A. J. Edwards and Coy Edwards,
another son, were a short distance from
the Edwards homestead when they
met the negro Davis, who had a 44-
callbre Colt’s revolver strapped about
his waist. The father remonstrated,
saying he did not want negroes on his
place armed in that manner. With
out more words, the negro drew the
revolver and fired, the bullet passing
through « e elder Edwards' body. Then
the negro struck Coy Edwards over
the head and made him empty his
pocket Then he forced him to turn
the pockets of his father, who was fast
expiring. With tho money he secured
the negro then started away, after
first beating Coy into a condition of
lnaenslbilty. By that time Eugene Ed
wards, who had been shooting birds,
reached the home and his mother
called to him and directed hla atten
tion to the trouble she had seen at the
distance.
He started In pursuit of the negro,
catching him Just as the negro got
even with a man named Wray, who
was driving a wagon. Edwards fired,
the load striking tho negro, who re
turned the flrse. The angro dodged
the horse’s heads and Edwards behind
the tail of the wagon. With Wray
ducking between them, they fired as
they caught sight of each other.
Edwards was wounded in the face
by a splinter knocked from the wagon
body by one of Davifi* bullets, btit the
boy kept firing and reloading, using
bird shot.
Not until the third load struck the
negro did he reel and stagger to the
road fence, whereupon the hoy ran
to him and emptied both barrels of his
gun into his body.
Then he jumped upon the negro’s
body and stamped out any life that
remained.
A great crowd gathered and wanted
to burn the body of the negro and
lynch his family. Counsel of cousins
of the Edwards family prevented this,
however, though the crowd was par
tlcularly incensed because it was said
that Davis was from Bulloch county
where he had belonged to an alleged
before day dug that was said to have
brought about the murder of the
Hodges family and the burning
their home.

timing of Missouri Building Not So
Serious as Was Supposed.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 20.—The loss from
the fire In the Missouri building at the
World’s Fair last evening was not so
great as at first supposed. A great
deal of the furniture was saved, to
gether with moat of the paintings and
practically all tho books.
According to President M. T. Davis,
the Missouri commission, the loss
sustained by the state will only amount
$20,000. This Is explained by the
statement of Mr. Davis that after the
World's Fair Is over the building,
which is the finest state structure on
tho grounds, would not bring more
than $5,000.
"I am happy to say that Inspection
has proven that hut ten paintings of
Missouri’s former governors and su
preme court busts are so badly burned
that they cannot bo replntod," said
Mr. Davis.
The lops was mostly caused by the
destruction of furniture.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 20.—President
Roosevelt made an nddress today at
the 110th anniversary celcbratibn at
St. Patrick’s church and the dedica
tion of Carroll Hall, the new parochial
building and parish school. The Rev.
Dr. D. J. Stafford, rector of St. Pat
rick’s, acted as the master of ceremo
nies. Cardinal Gibbons, several arch
bishops and other dignitaries of the
Catholic church nttended the exercises,
the former making an address imme
diately preceedlng that of the presi
dent. H. B. F. McFarland, president
of the board of commissioners of tho
District of Columbia, was the conclud
ing speaker.
The addresses were made from a bal
cony on the second floor of the rec
tory and the audience gathered In
crowds In the streets.
The Knights of Columbus formed a
guard of honor for the president, but
a squad of policemen was necessary to
open the crowded street. Cheer after
cheer went up as the president and
his escort appeared. He was met at
his carriage by Father Stafford and as
he passed Into the rectory a children’s
choir of 200 voices, stationed in front
of the church, sang hymns. Dr. Staf
ford introduced President Roosevelt as
‘the man of even handed justice; the
president of the ’square deal.’” Pres
ident Roosevelt thanked the rector and
joined In the laugh which preceded pro
longed cheering. Then he spoke In
part as follows:
* President’s Speech.
“It is a great pleasure to me to be
present with you today to assist at the
dedication of the school, hall and rec
tory of this parish. I am glad indeed
to have bsen Introduced, Cardinal Gib
bons, by you, the spiritual representa
tive in a peculiar sense of that Bishop
Carroll who played so illustrious a part
in the affairs of the church, and whose
kinsfolk played as Illustrious a part
In the affairs of the nation at the
dawning of this government. In greet
ing all of you I wish to say that I am
especially glad to see the children
present. (Cheers and applause). You
know I believe In children.,1 want to
see enough of them and of the right
kind, (applause).
“I wish today, In the very brief re
marks that I have to make, to dwell
upon this thought, that while in this
country we need wise laws honestly
and fearlessly executed, and while we
cannot afford to tolerate anything but
the highest standard in the public ser
vice of the government, yet that In
the last analysts the future of the
country mush depend upon the quality
of the individual home, of the indi
vidual man or woman in that home,
and that very largely depends upon the
way in which the average boy or girl
Is brought up. (Cheers and applause.)
Therefore, a peculiar responsibility
rests upon those whose life work It Is
to see to the spiritual welfare of our
people and upon those who make it
their life work to try tp trsln the citi
zens of the future so that they shall
1 be worthy of that future.

Swoetness and Strength.
"The rules of good citizenship are
tolerably simple. The trouble Is not
In finding them out; the trouble is in
living up to them after they have
been found out. We know fnlrly well
what qualities they are which in their
sum make up tho type of character we
like to see in man or wife, son or
daughter; but I am afraid wo do not
always see them as well developed as
we would like to. I wish to see in the
average American citizen the develop
ment of the two sets of qunlittes which
we can roughly indicate as sweetness
and strength—the qualities on tho one
hand which mnke the man nble to hold
his own, and those which on the other
hnnd make him Jealous for the rights
of others Just as much as for his own
rights. You probably know that I do
not care very much for the qoward
or the« moral weakling. I wish to see
In the man manliness, In the woman
womnnllnoss. I wish to see courage,
perseverance, the willingness to face
work, to face, If It is necessary, dan
ger, the determination not to shrink
back when temporarily beaten In life,
as each one will be now and then, but
to come up ngnln and wrest triumph
from defeat. I want to see you men
strong men and brave men, and in ad
dition I wish to see each man of you
feel that to his strength and courage
are Joined the qualities of tenderness
toward those he loves, who are de
pendent upon him, and of right deal
ing with all his neighbors.
American Successes.
’’Finally, I want to congratulate all
of us here on certain successes that we
have achieved In the century and a
quarter that has gone by of our Amer
ican life. We have difficulties enough,
and we are a long ways short of per
fection. I do not see any Immediate
danger of our growing too good; there
Is ample rocm for effort yet left. But
we have achieved certain results, we
have succeeded In measurably realis
ing certain Ideals. We have grown to
accept it as an axiomatic truth of our
American life that the man Is to
treated on his worth as a man, with
out regard to the accidents of his po
sition; (applause) that this Is not
government designed to favor the rich
man as such, or the poor man ax
such, but It Is designed to favor every
man. rich or poor, if he Is a decent
man who acts fairly by his fellows.
(Cheers and applause). We have
grown to realise that part of the foun
dations upon which our liberty rests
Is the right of each man to worship
his creator according to the dictates
of his conscience, and the duty of each
man to respect his fellow who so
worships him. (Cheers and applause).
Brotherly Love.
“And. oh my countrymen, one of tho
best auguries for, the future of this
country, for the future of this mighty
and majestic nation of ours, lies in the
fact that we have grown to regard one
another, that we brothers have grown
to regard one another with a broad
and kindly charity, and to realise that
the field for human endeavor Is wide,
that the field for charitable, philanth
ropic. religious work Is wide, and that
while a corner of it remains unfilled
we do a dreadful wrong If we fall to
welcome the work done in that field
by every man, no matter what the
creed, provided only he works with a
lofty sense of his duty to God and his
duty to Ms neighbor.” (Cheers and
applause).

Hitherto Handled by Treasurer Ag
gregates $881,000—Earnest Appeal to
be Made for Aid.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—In ac
cordance with an understanding reach
ed at the recent meeting of the board
of trustees of the Catholic University,
Cardinal Gibbons today gave to the
press an official letter addressed to the
Catholic clergy. The letter Is dated
Baltimore, November 17th, It says that
with the collection taken one month
before the first Bund ay of Advent this
year and with donations from various
sources, the receipts of the universities
for last year, apart from Its regular
Income, amounted to $150,809. Of these
funds. $08,743 was employed In the
payment of debts, $60,000 was Investod,
and the remainder was used to meet
current expenses. As a result, there
was no deficit last year, nor Is there at
present any floating debt. The letter
adds;
Safely Invested,
*Tho amount donated by the Knights
of Columbia and not Included In the
receipts mentioned above, was $69,000,
This wan olso vlncsted, making a total
Investment of a $100,000. Tho funds
are In tho hands of finance committee
appointed Inst year and composed of
gentlemen who enjoy the highest repu
tation for Integrity and business abil
ity. The entire amount, therefore, re
sulting from the collection Is absolute
ly free from the complications and
risks to which, an you doubtless have
learned through the press, tho general
endowment of tho unlversltly has re
cently been exposed.
“Regarding the actual situation, I
deem It my duty to Inform you that
the funds hitherto handled by the
treasurer of tho university aggregate
$881,000. The disposal of these funds
In no way Involves the property of the
university, Its lands, buildings or
equipment. The funds themselves are
protected by securities, which, It Is
confidently believed will, in any equit
able settlement, Insuro the university
against serious loss.
Regrettable Deprivation.
On the other hand, pending the final
adjustment of all claims now In Utlgu
tlon, the university Is In large measure
deprived of the revenues which have
heretofore been available for Its work.

foundod by the American Episcopate

Catholic follow rltlzens, our united ef
forts in bohn'.f of a university under
existing circumstances will plainly
show that ,we have at heart the best
interests of education and that we aro
not to be thwarted by difficulties.
Appeal for Funds.
“As I am prepared to do all In my
power to build up the university, and
determined to gunrnritee It against all
loss, oven at the sacrifice of II I pos
sess, I* fool assured that you and your
clergy will aid this sacred cause by nn
earnest appeal to the generosity of the
people under your charge, and by per
sonal sympathy for thd work to which
this collection is applied.
“Tho holy futhnr, In his letter on the
subject lost year, directed that this
annual collection be taken up on the
first Sunday of Advent, or on the first
convenient Sunday thereafter.”
NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS
Theft of $30,000 From Forcpsugh and
8ells Bros. Still s Mystery,
CHARLOTTE. N. C., Nov. 20.—A
special to the Observer from Tarsboro,
N. C$| says:
There are no further developments
regarding the theft of $30,000 In cash
from the ticket wagon of the Fore-
pnugh-Hnlls circus early Saturday
morning. A special train to carry the
J mploye* of tho show to Richmond nr-
Ived here about 4 o’clock this ufter
noon, and It 1s said that It brought
money with which to pay off the at
taches of tho show. Full settlement
with the employes Is expected to be
made tonight. Three trains carrying
the circus to winter quarters at Co
lumbus, Ohio, will leave about 1 o’clock
In the morning, and about the same
time a special passenger train will take
the employes to Richmond.
The man and woman arrested last
night In connection with the robbery
have been released from custody* Their
effects wero searched but no trace of
the missing $30,600 was found. Up to
this time the authorities seem to be
without the faintest clew as to the
whereabouts of the money or i>eop)e
who made awRy with It. The circus
people have practically taken the case
out of the hands of the Tarboro police
and are depending upon their own re
sources to handle the matter.
