N\ lion the Deputy MarnhaU Ar rived Ho Wa* lte>ond Their Hencli. The ( onrO Anxious to l.et Hold of the tiaynom Before duly 1. Deputy 'Marshals White of Macon and Caeon of Wnycross have been down in the Okeefenokce swamp for the lat?t week or ten days looking for Ed, H. Gaynor, one of the alleged conspirators Indicted along with John Gaynorj Greene, Carter nnd M. A. Connally for defrauding the government in the Savannah harbo r operations. Gay ncr’s brother-in-law has some contracts In the Okeefenokee swamp, and news whs received that he had gone there. It wan also learned from New York that he was not there, and that he had gone south. A thorough search, however, failed to find any trace of him. There seems to be little doubt, though, that Gaynor has been in Clinch county during the last few weeks. It was ru mored that he was at the conch * camp in Clinch county, where George Haupt is serving his time, superintending the building of some lighters to be used by the Atlantic Contrai l ing Company. Mar shal White at once secured a bench war rant for his arrest and started for the Okefenokee. At Waycross he was joined by Deputy Marshal Cason and the two started on Gaynor’s trail. They return ed to Macon yesterday empty handed, it was especially desired that Gaynor’s ar rest should he effected before July 1. as after that date the statute of limitations will bar another indictment, should the present indictment be proven invalid. The officers did not reach the Okeefenokee until Gaynor got beyond their reach. REiGATTA ()\ .It IA 4. Practically Agrord I pou liy tlie laic of Hope Yacht Club. The election of officers was to have ©cme up at a mre’iig of the Isle of Hope Yacht Club last night, but it was de cided to postpone it until next Friday night, during which interval the num bers will consider candidates. Mr. T. P. Reynolds is now commodore, but he has declined to serve for another term. Mr. Edward Demere is mentioned as his suc cessor. It was practically/agreed to have a re gatta on July 4 for fhird and f urth class boats. An entrance fee of HO cents for each boat will he charged. The club < x pects, during July, August and Septem ber, to hold race meets on two Saturday afternoons in each month. Pennants will be sailed for, and the yacht winning the greatest number of pennants will, at (lie end of the season, be adjudged the cham pion and will be presented with a hand some flag. A small clubhouse In the near future is among the of the club. Anew interest has sprung "Up. and some of tlv leaders in the club art- determined to push it along. They are relying on the regatta as an advertisement, as it is prob able there will be a good crowd out and that a very pleasant time will be enjoy ed. There will be dancing, and no scarcity of good things to eat will be noted. WILL SOON HE Ol‘T AGAIN. Hi* Friends Pleased to Hear of Gen. Gordon’s Improvement. Gen. W. W. Gordon.\it i- expected, will aoon be out again. His hurt re elved by his horse rolling upon him after falling has about mended. His many friends will enjoy seeing him again after his confinement. A clipping from the Evening Telegram of London been forwarded to Gen. Gordon. It relates an analogous ease, a French general having received a hurt In almost the same manne r .as Gen. Gor don. The clipping is as follows: “Paris, Saturday.—Gen. Roget, com manding the Twenty-eight Infantry Bri gade, met with a somewhat .serious ac cident at Belfort yesterday. He was re turning from firing exercise when his horse stumbled and fell. The General jumped out of his saddle, but after rising the charger again fell, rolling complete ly over the rider. “Though no bones were broken, inter nal injuries are feared for the gallant General, who refused M. Deroulede's in vitation at the time of the Dreyfus case to march with his troops on the Elysee, which would have meant revolution. “He will have to keep his bed for some days to come.” DELEGATES GOING TO HOME.

McGillis of Seventh Street Church, and Miss Madge Hext of Grace Church. The Savannah delegates have been in structed by the Union of Epworth Leagues to invite the conference of 1901 to meet in this city, and as it is understood that a majority of the other delegates, or at least a large number of them, are heartily in favor of accepting the invitation, there is little doubt that the conference will ac cept. The invitation will be given on the same basis as was that of Rome: The lo cal leaguers will entertain one delegate from each of the leagues, the speakers who appear on the programme, and all visiting ministers, while other attendants will come and be maintained at their own expense.

Jerry Hagan, an antiquated old negro, was the plaintiff In a damage suit against the Central of Georgia Railwas Company on trial in the City Court yesterday. Jer ry sued for $3,000, but before the case went to the jury he agreed to accept SSO in full of all claims and withdrew’ the case from further consideration. The old negro bought a ticket during February from Savannah to Clifton, a flag station along the line of the Central. The. train on which lie took passage did not stop at Clifton and Jerry was carried several miles beyond that point. He bad to use the company’s right-of-way for the purpose of retracing this distance, and while walking along the footpath beside the track was struck by a piece of timber or other substance projecting from the side of a moving fieight Lain and rather sally disfigured. His wounds were not se rious. however, and the* effects soon dis appeared. His claim to damages was based on the company’s alleged ill-faith in selling him a ticket to a point at which it did not discharge passengers and forcing him to leave the car at another point. His inju ries were said to flow from this breach of contract, though the projecting piece of timber was alleged to be In itself indi cative of the company's n g!ig nee. Col. a. R Lawt< .of i<>’ & inning la n represented the defendant, while Mr. W. F. Slater appeared for the plaintiff. TIUtK TE TO X MISSIONARY. Rev. Dr. Anderson’* Eulogy on Nil** l.aiira llu n good.

When Dr. Anderson left his mission, of which she was a member, aiul exemplary worker, she was then on what sub. *quently proved <* be her dentil bod.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 1000. GUESS TOO hJGH ON CENSUS. SIPER VISOR HI.! \ S\XS M\NY PEO PLE WILL HE DISAPPOINTED. For Some Reason, He Sn> v, Xrnrl> All Fix I pon XV lint Are Sure to He Ox erestiniatex— If Reasoned Out b> the l suit I Pereriitajie of Increase, the Guesses Would Not Be So High. About Sl.liOO 1k the Ei|imate Fiu nreil Out From a Ilasi* Furni.dieil h> One of the Nexv York Papers, (apt. 11 In a Guarnntees Tlint Every House in the City Will He Visited by Enumerators. Two p rsons notified Capt. Henry Bl m, Jr., y< terday that they believed they had not been included in the reports of the census enumerators. Capt. Blun interred from this that either the pe pie of Sa vannah are indifferent to the census and its correctness, or that the enumeiators are doing their work well. Capt. Blun believes it is the latter. He is inclined to think that the. enumerators have been very successful in gathering in i names, and that there are very few, com paratively, that have been omitted. * ‘There is one thing I guarantee,” said Capt. Blun. ‘ That is that when the cen sus has been completed there will have been no house in the city left out. Every one will have been visited. I cannot say that every name will have been secured, for I will have no perfect check method To insure that, but the system of check ing I have decided upon will leave it an ' impossibility for any house to have been left cut. "The people of Savannah have got their ideas pirched too high on the result of the census. They have not reasoned the thing out carefully, and there are bound to be a great many disappointed when the result is made known. Nearly all of those who make guesses as to what population the census will show go some thousands heyond what ii is likely o prove. “The last census gave Savannah n pop ulation of something like 4?,.0tt0. Now it is r.ot reasonable to believe that, in ten years, there has been an increase of 22,(00, though many believe that number will be shown. That would represent an in crease of nearly 50 per cent., whereas a careful estimate of the probable increase in the population of the United; States, made by one. of the New* York papers, names it as about 20 per cent. Th s esti mate declares that the increase will show up greater in the largest cities, so that, for a city of Savannah's size, about 20 per cent, increase may be expected. Thu would make the population show up at about 51,600. “I do not give that as my estimate. As supervisor of the census. I do not be lieve I should give an estimate. I give the figures merely to show that many cit izens are expecting too. much. Why, I have heard some make guesses as high as 75.000, but those who make them had never stopped to consider. If they would reason out the percentage of increase that might reasonably be expected they would understand that their estimates are excessive. “Citizens of most places are prone to make this error. Atlanta may be taken as a striking instance. For two or three years the. people of Atlanta have been claiming as many as 110,000. There has been a decided growth there, but the es timate given by a special census agent showed the population to be about 85,000. From this it may be seen that guesses fly too high. “It should be remembered that many of the people whose names appear in the city directory, do not live in the city at all. The enumeration will include them as residents of the place® w’here their homes are. A discrepancy between the city directory and the government census may be. found right there.’’ Capt. Blun’s words may be taken as a practical assurance that Savannah’s pop ulation is not going to be what many have hoped the census would show. Conserva tive people agree with turn that the usual estimate is too high. Guesses are being made as to the result, nnd it will be with no little interest that, the official an nouncement will be awaited. No time is set for the sending in of returns. Capt. Blun may keep them un til he is assured of their correctness. He will work on them as rapidly as possible, and will use every effort to insure the city being given credit for every inhabit ant to which it Is entitled. USING TIN MEASURES NOW. Huckster* Score One by ('hanging*: From tlie Old Wooden Measures. There was a show* of bright new tin measures in the market yesterday morn ing. The hucksters apparently wanted to be on the safe side by having new meas ures, but in changing they have found a way to still get ahead of the buyers, as there is a difference of a gill in every quart In favor of tin, or wet measures, as com pared with the dry measure, which is or should he the standard by which to sell solids, such as beans, peas, etc. Whether this discrepancy is not known to lhe venders, is a question. Market hucksters are sharp traders, and what they don’t know about how to measure or count is not worth learning. Capt. Joseph P. White* inspector of 1 w< ights and measures, want through the market yesterday morning and branded the new tin measures, which he found up to the standard, but as he has nothing to do with the change from dry to wet measures ho could say nothing about tlie new method of some hucksters to give as little as possible to buyers. WILL RE OPPOSED AGAIN. Alderman linn* Will Not Get III* Cemetery Plnn Through I iifought. Alderman Haas’ efTort to induce the City Council to pass favorably upon u new cemetery tract, will be os stubbornly con tested as ever. When, he renews his at tempt to secure some site for the estab lishment of anew cemetery, lie will find old forces allied against him, though it remains to be seen if the opposition will prove as strong as before. Alderman Tledoman was asked yester day if Ills position reg arding anew ceme tery is os he so elTei anally made it known in the recent meeting of ihe Council, thereby contributing largely to the defeat of the Special Commit tee’s report, llis reply was that he stands just where he did then. It seems probable that a worm light Is in store for Alderman Haas, when be brings up his measure again. He is con vinced, though, that the I* st interests of the city demand n new cemetery, just as Alderman Tiedeman, is convinced that there in no present need for . new one. AA ILL RENEW THE CHARTER. Stockholder* of the Southern Rank AV ill Meet To-d ny. A meeting of ihe stockholders of the Southern Bank will be held ibis morning at 11 o’clock. The charter of (bo bank v%ill expire next October, and the law requires that a vote of the stockhol h rs is neces sary for its lines • Some time ago there were pome amend ments made to the charter, inil these, it is said, covered all the points upon which e bongos were desire J. Pr* ddout John Flannery s.iid yesterday that he belicvfd it almost a matter of course la.it tlie charter will he renewed in its present amended form. The meeting of the stockholderh is held thus fer in advance of the expiration of the charter because of the difficulty that might be experienced in getting them together later, when many would be away s*n vacations. PIHHiIMMWE FOR REIMOH. Veteran* In Re Well Entertained at YVnycros*, July 4. Lafayette M* Laws Camp of United Con fed* i .*• Y' i r.ins met at Confederate 11:11 last night, and for some time dis used enthusiastically the reunion of the ' South Georgiy Brigade of the Georgia Di vision .that is to be held at Waycross on July 4. A number of veterans signified their intention of attending the reunion, and this number will, in all probability, be largely increased before the day set for the assemblage of the veteran clans. A number of the members of McLaws Camp, who desire to be on hand and to meet on e again with their old comrades, are not now in a position to state positively whether or not they can attend, but in every likelihood will do sof The same thing is true of the Confederate Veterans’ Association, At the meeting of McLaws Camp the following order from Brig. Gen. P. A. McGlashan, countersigned by Col. M. P. Usina, the brigadier general command ings’ adjutant general and chief of staff, was read to the veterans: “Hearquartera Southern Georgia Bri gade, Georgia Division, U. C. V., Savan nah, Ga., June 18, 1900.—General Order No. 4: The attention of the camps is called 4o the Enclosed programme for the re union at Waycross, July 4. the general commanding hopes each camp will be rep resented on that occasion and that a del egation of 1 to each 10 members and frac tion thereof be appointed to assist in the transaction of business. It is also hoped nnd desired tha< each camp will appoint one sponsor and one maid of honor to do honor to and grace the occasion. “The citizens of Waycross are making splendid preparations to honor the brigade when it assembles. Let us by coming in full numbers show our appreciation of their efforts. lxw rates are guaranteed on all railroads.” The programme arranged by the citizens of Waycross for the reception and enter tainment of the veterans and other vis itors lo the *utv, to which attention is called in the order of Gen. McGlashan, is as follows: At 10 a. id. convention called to order at Opera House by Gen. P. A. S. Mc- Glashan. Invocation by Rev. B. A. Johnson, chap lain. Appointment Committee on Credentials. Address of welcome and responses. Roll call of camps. Report of Committee on Resolutions. Reception of sponsors and maids of hon or and distinguished guests. At 12 m.—Veterans will form and marefc to entertainment and barbecue. 3 p. m.— Convention will meet for trans action of business and selection of place for next reunion. Addresses during the day by Judge Rob ert Failigant, Ben E. Russell, Robert G. Mitchell, William M. Hammond, Henry G. Turner and J. R. Saussy. Grand parade at 5 p. m. Reviewed by Gen. C. A. Evans. Stuff officers and speakers, brigade and camp sponsors and maids of honor will be seated on the stage during the exer cises at the Opera House. It is expected that there will be a large gathering of the veterans of the South Georgia Brigade at Waycross, on the fourth. The camps embraced within its jurisdiction are situated in counties ex tending from Telfair and Montgomery on the north to Decatur on the south. Thir ty-tv camps constitute the brigade, and its membership is between 1,600 and 2,000. Gen. McGlashan and his staff officers and the committee of citizens of Waycross who have the reunion in charge believe that there will be a large percentage of the membershp of the brigade in attend ance. and besides these there will be a number of curious onlookers nnd sight seers from the surrounding country and from the cities* nnd towns within the geo graphical limits of the brigade. The. principal cities and towns within Gen. McGlashan’s command are Savan nah. Brunswick, Waycross, Albany,Thom asville and Bainbridge. From all of these cheap excursions will be run along the lines of the railroads entering Waycross and numerous delegations from them all are assured. 'Miss Lizzie McLaws has been appointed sponsor for the brigade at the reunion, and her chief maid of honor will be se lected in due time. Each camp is also en titled to representation by a sponsor and maid of honor, and the presence of these fair young women of the South at the re union will doubtless add greatly to its en joyable features. The citizens of Waycross are entering into the business of preparing for the re union with fine enthusiasm. Committees have been appointed to look after every feature of the entertainment, and the barbecue that will be one of the princi pal attractions, is to be the best of its kind. Regular, old-fashioned South Geor gia hospitality will be free on tap every where. and the freedom of the Magic City of the Wire Grass will be granted to every one of its veteran guests. The presence of Gen. Clement A. Evans, the division commander at the brigade reunion, is now assured, and w’iil add en thusiasm to the occasion. Among the veterans, Gen. Evans is universally be loved. and many will attend the reunion for the purpose of having the privilege of shaking his hand and being with him again. The fare on the railroads will be very small and on this score no one will be prevented from attending should he so de sire. It is hoped and expected that the occasion will be a memorable one in the history of the brigade, as it is realized that without such assemblages the work of the brigade will not be accomplished and that it will hr an organization in name only. The railroad schedules will per rrot Savannahians to leave in the morn ing and return at night. Ai Its meeting last night McLaws Camp listened with pleasure to the reports as to the reunion that were made by those who have interested themselves in 4ho work. Three new members, Me-srs. C. D. Rogers. J. R. Everett and F. M. Crosby, were admitted to the eqmp. ' NX ILL OF LI < Y C. HI LL I'alt-1 nnd I’roluitcil in fonrt of Or l in nr 3*.

SABRO HELD BY GRAND .FI RY FOR ATTEMPTED ADDICTION. Slayer of the Negro YYilliam Stexv art Transferred to County .Fail ♦<* Await His Trial—The Anglo-Indian Sword Sxvalloxver to Stand Triol for Trying to Kidnup Y oung Pres ton Everett—The Strange Hand kerchief That Sahro Sent the Boy. The grand jury, at its session yesterday, Indicted J. J. Read, the slayer of the re gro, William Stewart, for murder, and William Cashwell, alias King Sahro. for the attempted abduction of young Pres ton Everett. A bench warrant was issued for Read immediately after his indictment and he was removed from the police station to the county jail. It is expected that his trial will take place as soon as the crimi nal cases now before the Superior Court have been disposed of. Cashwell, it Is also expected, will l.e given an early trial. King Sabro is the sword swallower, who has been, hunt'd by the police for two weeks on account of his continued following of young Everett, it was believed, with the intention of kidnapping him and carrying him off. Cashwell, efr Sabro, is now In jail and the young lad and his parents feel that they are safe from him for a while at least. Mr. John R. Everett, the father of the boy, has felt that his son’s life was in danger and he has watched for the sword swallower at every turn of the street. When he saw him Sunday night when “Sabro” was in the merciless hands of young Sauls, it was only the in terference of the, crowd that kept the father ' from shooting the man he believed to be the evil spirit that threatened his JUtie son. With one of the letters that feont young Everett and which was handed to him Sun day night at the drug store nt Bull and State streets, where lad is employed, was a peculiar Indian handkerchief, richly embroidered in silk with curious colored designs. When the handkerchief was opened at the boy’s home a peculiar and overpowering odor came from it that almost rendered unconscious those who touched it. The odor disappeared after awhile, but the family regarded the hand kerchief with suspicion and they believe it was saturated with some strange thing known to men of “Sabro’s” class and in tended either to kill or affect in some way their consciousness. FOR FIVE YEARS AND SIX'. Defendant** in Superior Court Get Long Terms In Penitentiary'. The tides of war changed In the trial of criminal cases In the Superior Court yesterday, and instead of there being six acquittals out of six trials, as wal the case on Monday, there were tw f o convic tions, both defendants indicted and tried being sent to the penitentiary for long terms. Richard Austin had been indicted for breaking and entering the room of Wil liam Cousins and stealing therefrom a suit *of clothes of some value. Austin, as shown by the evidence, was caught at the pawnshop with the stolen goods in his possession, w'hich he was fhen*endeav oring to pledge for a loan. He was cap tured and taken to the station house and ultimately to the jail. These facts were all brought out on the stand, in connection with other in stances of Austin’s general bad character. It was shown that he is a most skill ful and accomplished crook and that the crime for which he had been indicted was but one of a very large number. As successive instances of his criminal practices for which he had escaped all punishment were brought out on the stand, Austin grinned delightedly and manifested by the expression of his face by self-satisfied little nods and becks and smiles that he was thoroughly pleased and satisfied with his proficiency in the criminal art and science. The jury had but little difficulty in find ing and returning a verdict of guilty, and Judge Failigant sentenced the defendant to a term of five years in the peni en tiary. In passing sentence Judge Fulli gant said: “Austin, you are-fX most su perb rascal and In my opinion the coun ty can well afford to grant you a 1 ng vacation. It would be wrong to deprive you of any part of the rest from the trials of your profession that you have so richly earned.” While sentence upon him was being passed the pleased smile never left the face of the convicted thief. He left the room with every indication of del gnt. James Johnson was sent to the peniten tiary for six years for assault w'ith int i t to murder. It was shown that the de fendant assaulted his wife and her sist r on a street car coming in fiom Is e of Hope, slashed his wife across the threat, and’ seriously injured the sister, Susan nah Middleton, with the ugly weapon with which the assault was committed. The evidence, as in the former case, showed the defendant to he of general had character and possessed of and often ex hibiting very evil and uncontrollable pas sions. The assault upon the two women was absolutely unprovoked and particu larly brutal, and escaped being attended by fatal consequences only by the frac tion of an inch. Under the circumstances Judge Failigant inflicted a heavy penalty, and it was a penalty well deserved. Both cases were concluded at the morn ing session of the court. There was one other case that was to have been tried in the afternoon, but on account of the indis position of counsel, Mr. Charles V'. Hohen stein, the trial was passed until a more favorable occasion. It may be taken up at an unoccupied hour during the week. BEFORE THE 4;n \M> Jl ItY. Believed Hi* 1 rianililliiK Question Wn* Acatn l',i. There was considerable gossip around the Court House yesterday on account of a number of witnesses having been sum moned before the grand Jury, with a view it was supposed, of Indicting some of the gambling fraternity. Six or seven wilnesses were before the grand jury, but for what purpose, or with what result is not known. It was the general talk that the grand jury was con sidering the information that had linen turned over to it by the grand jury for the March term, the witnesses being the same that were summoned before die previous grand jury. So far as known, there were no indictments. THE MISSION'. An Injustice to Teachers and Scholars. Editor Savannah Morning News: The article which appeared In the Morning News of Tuesday.
