Six Others Are Still at Liberty. Six m* mbers of th band of black as* t-a asms who sa oi .ind killc 1 I‘illmore Herrington and Mil oti Clears, two white men, in the nor.her .l part of Screven county, on the night of Aug. 31, wre I- rough to Savannah and lodged in jail last nigh* The negroes are Cleveland Herrington, Davis. Samuel Balden, Richard Sanders, William Hudson arid Arnold Au gustus. They re hiought to Savannah by Sheriff W. B. Thompson, of Screven county, and Special Deputies S. C. Jen kins and I/. B. Thompson. The reason for bringing th - tn n to the .city lay in the. double possibility of a lynching, on the 1 art of the outraged frhnds of the two who were to brutally murdered, and and jail-delivery, on ilie part of the rela tives and allies of the murderers them- selves. The double homicide in Screven county is fresh in the publi* mind. On Saturday night, Aug. 11, Herrington and Mears went to the home of Jesse Sanders, a negro liv ing in the country some distance from Sylvania, for the purpose of arresting one of his sons, with whom Herrington had bad a difficulty on the afternoon of the tame day. They were accompanied by ('apt. Jesse T. Wade, a prominent citizen of that section of the state. As they approached Sanders’ house they were fired upon by a party of negroes con cealed in a thicket. Herrington and Mears were killed and ( apt. Wade so seriously ■wounded that it was with great difficulty effected an es ape. The next morning an armed mob gath ered and began a search for the negroes, and at the same time Sheriff Thompson organized a pfs annl started for the F-cene. with the and ub e purpose of arrest ing th guilty parties and protecting (hem from th • vengeance cf the mob. Indigna tion ran high and it was only by the ex ercise cf diplomacy, mingled with Fniall show of force, that the sheriff was enabled o save the live- of the three ne groes who were then arrested. Since that day three others have been qui- tly taken into custody, making the six that have been brought to Savannah. Everyone of them has confessed his participation in the crime, making a state ment that was as lull as it was voluntary and free. Their statements and the known facts in the possession cf the offic*. rs im plicate six o her negroes in the crime, these six long supposed to be now in hiding in some of the swamps that line the Savannah river. Ac ording to the f orv told by th men arrested and in Jail, a negro named Matthew McKinney was the arch conspirator, the ruling spirit Jn the deadly assault that was made on Herrington and Mears. McKinney is one of these who have made their escape, hut Sheriff Thompson bellevrs it will not be a great while before he t o. is under ar rest. McKinney is said to be a gambler and desperado of the worst type, whose presence in the neighborhood has been a continual source of uneasiness and annoyance and even of danger. He aroused, by every art of the demagogue, the evil passions of the men of his race and kept them in an excited state which needed only an occasion to develop into an armed outbreak The negroes in jail give no real reason for their participation in the murder of Herrington and Mears, other than that they were induced to join in the felonious assault by the influence of McKinney. They confess that both white, men had been uniformly kind to the members of .their race and acknowledge having re ceived many favors at their hands. Not a. circumstance in evidence, not a sen tence in their own statements, shows the homicide to have been other than a cold blooded, wanton and cruel murder, equal ly without reason and excuse. Since the men have been confined in the jail at Sylvania the sheriff has had .it closely guarded, in the constant fear that there would he an attempt at either a jail delivery or a lynching. It is his firm opinion that the only thing that has kept the negroes he brought to Savannah alive is the fact that there were as many more at liberty. Public sentiment and indigna tion is at fever heat and had all the men been in custody aid confined in the Syl vania jali its strong walls and the guard would have been alike unavailing to pro tect them from the vengeance of the mob. It was generally believed that the mem bers of the band still at liberty would *soon be apprehended. This accomplished, the friends of the men killed Would have been able to make a clean sweep. The Bar of this induced County Commissioners to dir<ct the -sheriff to bring his prisoners to Savannah. It was with a sigh of relief that they entered the jail here, knowing (hat ihey would be punished by the slow' process of the law, rather than the swift and terrible methods of an outraged community. The negroes of the letter clas in Screv en county are anxious that the law be permitted to take its course. They have made frequent appeals to Sheriff Thomp son for the protection <f ih men ar rested and this protect on he has, of course, promised ar.d given. The preach ers and other leaders of the race do not seem to cherish any hop* that the fate of the rmn arrested will be other than death, but they think the effe t will be better if th a fate be brought .about in the execution of the mandate of the law than if i< be the work of a mob.

The services were conducted by Rev. J. W. Ncaee. acting pastor of The church, ond Rev. M. J. Eptlng, pastor of Bt. Paul s.

Hut tlic Ornamentation AVn* Not Ap preciated by tlc (irooni. Trobably one of the angriest and most excited men that has b;en seen in Sa vannah recently arrived yesterday over the Plant System from Port Tampa. He did not bring his cholcr with him either, for lie had with him al th.it goes to make life bright, cheerful, and worth living in the person of a young, handsome and newly wedded wife. It was in trying to save her feelings that he developed his exc t rnent, while his anger was aroused b lie practical „oke that had b l en\h r petraced on both himself and wife by some knavi h friend. The jcke, ar.d the can p of the young man’s excitement wen* apparent when the baggage was ink n tv m the car, fer there attach'd to the trunk of the happy couple, in the most -onspic-nous ( lace, was a pair of new it and dainty whit baby shoes, small enough to fit the *iniest of feet, hut amply barge to be 4 •-n by everybody in the cat shed. The newly made benedict, was among the first to catch sight of this unique ornament to his trunk, his sense of percept! n quick ened, perhaps, by the more than merely audible snickers that went up from ah over tin* shed. Though boiling with sup pressed anger, ho displayed g.eit tact, for thougi his wife was particularly anxious to know all about the trunk, thinking, probably, of all the many hand some dresses that ii contained, he res olutely led her away and stowed her safely in a carriage, and then returning to the offending l>aggage. with a vicious swipe of his knife, severed the dainty shoes and savagely chucked them out of sight. if he tells the tale *0 wifey later she probably understand why she attracted so much smiling mention when she ar rived at the depot* HOT SPELL PHOIIAHLY FADED. I n*cftlel Weather, Showers and Storm* for To-dny. What is thought to b , and is hoped to h . a final break in th * spell of hot weather occurred yesterday afternoon, wli n a light thunderstorm and rain ar rived. Th ■ temperature reached its max imum high of Ol degrees shortly after 2 o’clock, but ar 2:32 when the first peal of thunder was h* ard it took a down ward turn, and f 11 live degr.es in about 15 minutes. It continued to fall during the remainder of the afternoon, and at 8 o’clock last night registered only SO de grees*. The minimum was 77. and occurred at 6 o'clock in the morning. The mean 'empera tire for the day was 85 degrees, <3 degree* above normal. In fact with the exception cf Aug. 6 and 7 when the mean was 1 and 3 deg e s below normal, respectively, every day of the month so far has shown an excess of heat that has been really remarkably, giving an overplus of 9i degr os For the year, howev r, there is n shcr age of 91 degrees. The rainfall lasted from about 4:30 o’clock until 6, but was so slight that it registered at the; YWather Bureau le<s than .01 of an inch. In the southern part of the city, however, it was considerably heavier. The month still shows a short age on rainfall of 5.10 inches, while the years is 8.41 inches behind. The state forecast for to-day and to morrow is for unsettled weather, show ers and thunderstorms. Light to fresh southwest winds are predicted. So far as is known there w’ere no pros trations from heat yesterday of either persons or horses. WITTE GIVEN Ills MHKRTY. Inillrlment for Larceny Vfter Trust Nol-pro**el in Superior Court, Opo. IT.

The case, against Witte was called in the. Superior Court in the afternoon. Capt. J. Ferris Cnnn represented the interests of the defendant, while Mr. A. A.

Mr. Lawrence also recommended that this he done. Whereupon, on motion of the solicitor general pro tern, the mat ter was allowed to take that course and tho indictment was nol-prossed. In settlement of the ease Witte and his friends paid to the prosecutor the sum of SI,OOO. considerably less than a third of ihe amount he is charged with having ap propriated.

Janie* Seeinan of Knoxville, n C andidate for Junior Vice Commander —Aetion of Phila delphia Camp* Disapproved. Savannah's representation at the big G. A. It. encampment at Chicago next week promises to be small, although there are .1 number of matters of interest coming up. some <f them of local interest to this S' cion Mr. T. F. GRason, past depart ment commander for Georgia, will prob ably attend, th ugh he is hesitating some what on account of not being in the be.-t if health. Mr. Patrick Ryan is the only o h* r nr tuber of the local post who has announced his in ention of taking in the encampment. “I should 1 ke to be present,” said Mr. Gleason yesterday, "as there are several matters of special interest to come up. The question of chang ng the time for Memorial Day from May 30 to the. last Sunday in May will be brought up for dis cussion ut.d ac.ion. The move is cn the right fine, and J hope it will succeed. As rr.atteis stand tow, Decorat'cn Day, both North and South, has simply breome a puh'.i • holiday, w hich is taken advantage o’ fc r sorts of all kinds, and the real significar ce of the day is being largely lost sicht cf. By placing this annual cel ebration on a Sunday, the profanation of the day by spirts and otherwise would he rendered impos.-ible and the day could be kept entirely sacred to die cause which it represents. I do not believe any serious objections will be raised to making use of the Sabbath for .such a purpose. The celebration is of a semi-religious nature anyway and the ex ercises would be entirely in keeping with the day. In fact, I think Sunday a very appropriate day for such a purpose.” Mr. Gleason expressed his strong dis approval of (he action of the. Philadelphia (}. A. R. posts in declining to attend the encampment because an invitation to be present had been extended to William J. Bryan, the Democratic candidate for the presidency It shows very bad taste on (heir part and very poor judgment, he thinks, to show feeling of this sort, as the invitation to Mr. Bryan was evidently in tended as a compliment to the man and rot for any political purpose. “By the way,” said Mr. Gleason, “the man whom the South will offer for the l>osition of junior vice commander-in chief is Frank Socman, of Knoxville, a former Savannahian and employe of the Morning News. It has been a good many years since ho left here, and I suppose very few of our people remember him. He is a splendid man for the position in every respect, and I ahall take pleasure In supporting him. The position of junior vice commander-in-chief is usually filled from the South. The department of Ten nessee has. given Comrade Seeman it* strong indorsement, and has called upon the other departments to join in the move ment.” Asa past department commander, Com rade. Gleason is a member of the encamp ment. which entities him to participate tn its deliberations without the formality of being chosen as* a delegate. FiRKMI’A'S LAWN PARTY. Men of Yo. .* Engine Company Hnml noniely Entertained. The firemen at No. 5 engine bouse on Henry street were very pleasantly cared for last night by their lady friends and neighbors, the occasion being the return of the firemen to their newly renovated quarters after camping for the last sev en 1 weeks on a vacamt lot between Bull and Whitaker streets. The ladies thought the firemen deserved some testimonial of the manner in which they hail borne the hardships of camp life and a lawn party was agreed upon as the proper thing. There being ample space for the lawn party on the lot adjoining the firemen’s camp this made it possible to have all the members of the company present, which would not have been the case otherwise. The firemen were thus enabled to enjoy themselves while being at ihe same time In readiness to respond to the call of duty. Quite a party of ladies gathered to do honor to the occasion. A table was set in the center of the green and tastefully hung with colored paper lanterns. There was no lack of refreshments, the ladies and their friends having contributed lib erally for the occasion. As it was an informal party the crowd gathered slowly and it was 9.30 o’clock when the members of No. 5 with their hosts and guests took their seats at the table and pronounced the grace upon the collation. Other invited guests were Fore man Porter McFarland of No. 1, Foreman J. E. Campos of No. 2, Mr. Lacey D. Mell, secretary to the superiritedent, Mr. J. F. Morgan and Mr. Eugene Clark. Among the ladles present were Mrs. Morgan. Mrs. Moye, Mrs. Shuman, Mrs. Clark, Misses Minnie, Nina and Ruth Morgan, the Misses Shuman. Miss Miles, Miss Manor, Miss Heckle. Miss Trask, and Miss Lynn Grayson. The lime passed very pleasantly and It was over an hour later when the party broke up with many thanks to the ladies for their kindness. The firemen of No. 5 have a record for good behavior ami this is said to be the reason they are so popular with the ladies of the neighborhood. This morning about 10 o'clock the men of No. 5 will return to their quarters. A new artificial stone floor has been laid in the building and a vitrified brick sidewalk provided outside. The house drainage has been improved, the plumbing overhauled and the stables rebuilt. The firemen will shortly complete the improvement by re painting the interior. The artificial s one floor for the engine house is in the nature* of an innovation, this being the first of the kind to be put down in any of the engine houses of the city Superintendent Maguire regards the exp* riment as an important one. If it will stand the wear and tear the proba bility is that similar floors will be pro vided in other houses. The men at No. 5 now have one of the neatest stations in the city and one that is in good shape in every way. The only thing lacking is anew gong and Indica tor. The Indicating apparatus now in use is the oldest in the department, having been in use for twenty-seven years. As might be expected, its service is very un satisfactory. The fire committee will loubtl j >s sec* the necessity o.’ completing the equipment by putting in an up-to-date gong ami indicator.

The new station is to be a brick struc ture on much the same order as the one on Barnard street, having a frontage of about 45 feet by a depth of 65.

The marital troubles and Infelicities cf Thomas and Sally Jon s received a gen eral airing in the Superior court yester day. whin Judge Falligant was hearing evidence and arguments the matter of the application of the husband fer a tem porary injunc’.iDn, restraining the wife from disposing of or incumbering some property in the western part of the city. The parties are negr es, and Thomas is unahe 10 read or write. He averred in hs petit on to the court that djring the t me he was living with Sally, before their present state of separation had begun, he invested his money in a lot and had put upon it a house and other improve ments. He instructed his wife to look after tli* matter of business for him, and was under the impression that she had follow’ and his ins ructions ai.d had taken the deed in his name. V< ry greatly to his surprise, th* 1 peti ton recite*, he learned that tke hous? was in her name. Therefore it was that he asked the court to prohibit her dis posing of or incumbering the property until he had time and opportunity to make legal fi\of of the lights which he claimed. On this showing Judge Falligant granted a temporary restraining order some two or three weeks ago. It was the question whether or not this order should be continued in force or dis solved that was before Judge Falligant for consideration and decision yesterday. The defendant, in the meantime, had filed an answer, in which she stated that not only had the husband contributed nothing to the purchase money of the house and lot, which she paid entirely from her own pocket, but that of late years he had be come drunken, lazy and trifling, refusing to work and manifesting an unconquerable aversion to any other forms of exercise than eating and sleeping—both at her ex pense. All of this and considerably more came out during the course of the examination of the witnesses. The court came quickly to the conclusion that the woman had right on her side, for an order was passed re fusing the temporary injunction prayed for and dissolving the restraining order previously granted and of force. The plaintiff in the case was represented by Mr. "W. H. Boyd and the defendant Ly Capt. U. H. McLaws. WANTS TO FIGHT CORCORAN. Another I.onisville Man Seeks the Honor. Tom Corcoran's defeat of George Pierce seems to have given him o reputation among the Louisville, Ky., sports, al though it added little to his glory in Sa vannah. Tom Williams of that city', has already challenged him for a 25-round go at Savannah, under the usual conditions, and now “Reddy” Hamilton of the came city, announces his desire to arrange a match with the redoubtable Savannahian. A letter for Corcoran in care of the Morning News was received yesterday from Hamilton, together with another for the sporting editor of the News. In this letter Hamilton says: “I would like to arrange a match with Corcoran at any reasonable terms he might suggest; from 149 to 150 pounds at the ringside, or at 3 o’clock in the after noon. I see where he defeated George Pierce in five rounds. I have also de feated Pierce, but in two punches. Of course I am no# trying to take any credit away from Corcoran’s victory. I simply want to show you that Tom and I couid make n good match and give the people a run for their money.” Corcoran, after reading Hamilton’s let ter. isaid that the latter and Tommy Will iams. who has also challenged him. are matched to fight each other in Louisville. Aug. 27. His purpose is to wait until after that date and then challenge the victor. “I defeated/ Williams in Atlanta last February in a nine-round go.” Corcoran said. "He is one of the pluckiest fighters I ever went up against and what is bet ter, he is strictly on the square. I don’t know this man Hamilton and prefer to wait until afters his fight on Aug. 27 be fore taking any steps In the matter.” fOl XTHY STORE AT ELKS FAIR. Everything in Creation at n Flat anil Purely \onilnnl Price. The Savannah Lodge of Elks has decid ed to add anew feature to its street fair and carnival, to be held in the Park Ex tension in November. The feature is new only in Us connection with the Elks’ en terprise, as it has been successfully tried on many other occasions. Since the execgUve and other commit tees of the carnival have got down to ac tive work in its behalf a large number of miscellaneous contributions have been re ceived from manufacturers and wholesal ers from all over the country. The very diverse nature of these contributions made the question of their disposal some what involved, but it has been finally de termined to sell them at the Elks booth, where a country store will be conducted. Such a store was among the attractions at the Mnsonlc Fair last spring and made much money for the enterprise. The Elks say they will have more and different things to sell in their store than have ever been offered before, and they, of course, will sell them for less money. Secretary G. Reuben Butler, of the Ex ecutive Committee declared yesterday that although there would be but one price for every article sold, and that a very small one, it would be possible to secure for this purely nominal sum any thing from u paper of pins or a cake of soap to a grand piano or a city lot. It was only after strong pressure had been brought to bear that he could be induced to confess that the last named articles would be in the minority. t T. J. HOG \VS FI NERAL.

Team—The Game Played in the Face of a Threatened Don npour-The Spec tator* Euthiisia*tic. By a score of 7 to 3 the Fernandlna ball team lowered the (dors of Bruns wick yesterday afternoon in the first of a b ri s of three g:ime3 to be played here. Despite the rain, which lasted almost throughout the entire afternoon, the game was a most interesting one. ltpjwas wit nessed by a large number of spectators, consicieiing the weather. Brunswick was the first to the bat, but went cut in short older, Ballantyne alone making a hit. In Fernundina’s turn no scoring was done, either. Butler, the first man up, wont out cn a hot liner to Gar rett, Brunson struck out, and though Byerd got to first on balls and managed to steal see nl, he was left there by Buisse’s fly out to Villineau. Brunswick’s second turn at the bat was evea shorter than at first. Garrett went out to short, Holland to the pitcher, and Kaphan to seven 1 base. Fernandlna had better luck. Mosley mode a hit and stole second, and though Wiggins and Morgan, the next men up were struck out, McGiffin rapped out a hit for three bases, scoring Mosley. The •‘dele was retired by' Bankston striking out. Brunswick went out in one, two. three or er again in the third, and Fernandlna did little better, oily Butler making a hi . In ihe fourth Brunswick traced up and tie i the score. Pal antyne got to first on halls, and to second on a passed ball; Villineau went out at first, and Harper on a long fly to center field, on the throw in of which Ballantyne scored. Garrett went out on a fly to second, which was caught by Buisse after a hard run. Fernandlna did nothing in her 1 art of this inning, Mosley, Wiggins and Mor gan going out in short order, but after Brunswick had again failed to srore in the fifth, sl.e managed to get in two runs though a decision of Umpire Goodenough that brought down on his h ad a perfect storm of wrath and ridicule from the spectators. "Your name may be Good enough,” said one fan, ‘ but that decision was "BacLnough.” McGiffin went out at first on an easy grounder, Bankston hit safe and stole sec ond, and Butler hit an easy grounder and started for first at the same time that Bankston tried to make third. The ball was thrown to Garrett at third, who, though he slipped in his effort to catch it, got it in time to touch distinctly the run ner. The umpire, who was looking to ward first base, did not see the play and called both men safe. There was a pro longed hiss and howl from the grand stand, and the Brunswick players put up quite a kick, but the decision stood. With only one man out Brunson was given a base on balls, Byers went out at first, and Buiisse hit safe past second, scoring both Bankston and Butler. The side was re ilred by a splendid left-hand catch by Harper of a hot grounder from Mosley’s bat. Brunswick went out in the sixth again without scoring, but Fernandina improved ber opportunity by adding four more runs to her pile. Wiggins hit safe to center, Morgan bunted and beat the throw to first. McGiffin filed out to right and Wig gins scored on the throw in. Bankston hit to the pitcher and got to first, and Mor gan scored on a passed ball by the catch er. Butler was safe at first, and Brunson but on a fly to center, when Byers drove a long one out to right, and both Banks ton and Butler scored. Buiese got a safe hit, but the side went out on Mosley’s fly out to short. There was no more scoring until the be ginning of the ninth, when Brunswick took a brace. Bailantyne. the first man at the bat. soaked the first ball pitcher] for two bases, and was followed by Vil llneau with a long rap to right, on which he made three bases and scored Balian tvno. Things began to look squally for the Fernandina team, for Harper, who came* next, rapped a safe one to left and Gar rett duplicated the performance to right, Holland hit safe, Kaphan went to first on balls. But Harper and Garrett were caught out on a double play, and after Sullivan had been given firet on balls the side went out, Hendley being put out at first. The line m> was: Brunswick. Fernandina. Sullivan catch Byers Hendley pitch Bankston Villineau first base Brunson Harper second base Buissc Garrett third base Butler Ballamyne shor stop Mosely Wolfe 1 ft field Morgan Holland center field Wiggins Kaphan right field McGiffin The summary: By innings: Fernandina 0 1 0 0 2 4 0 0 x—7 Brunswick 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 3 In the afternoon’s gameWdfeand Sulli van will be the battery for Brunswick, and for Fernandina, Hooks and Byers. Hooks was to have pitched yesterday’s game, but in the preliminary practice was struck cn the mouth by a batted ball and so hurt that he was unable to play.

HIS FAITH WAS DESTROYED. Mr. W. F. Chaplin Found Benevo lence Wan It* Own Reward. Superintendent W. F. Chaplin, county superintendent of public works and roads, has had a recent experience that has sadly impaired his store of Confidence in human nature. There is a negro about town who goes by the name of Joe Brown. He is distin guished, or rasher characterized, by an ineradicable and inextinguishable fond ness for the goods and chattels* of others, and an absolute inability to. distinguish between meum et tuum. He has spent the greater part of his somewhat check ered career cn the county chain-gang, commitrirg some new offense, being ar rested and sentenced to anew term as fast as he served a former one. and was discharged from custody. Brown was last dDcnarged from the gang some six or seven months ago. and for a time, manifested an apparent desire to be good. At any rate, if he committed a crime, he was not detecied, and arrest ed, and, during that period, was wont to carry about with him a very disconsolate air. One day Brown went to Supt. Chaplin, whose office had enabled him to glean a minute acquaintance with Brown's past history,* the thefts he had committed and the terms he hail served on the gang. Nevertheless, Mr. Chaplin was moved to pity by Brown’s doleful appearance and tearful appeals and not only relieved bis immediate wants, hut gave him a posi tion about his stables. Time passed and Mr. Chaplin had reached the conclusion that Brown had permanently reformed. Nothing was missed from the house and the negro seemed to have become a model servant. Recently, however, various small arti cles tyegan to disappear. They were not of a character though to attract the cu pidity of a man and suspicion did not point to Brown. When Mr. Chaplin wont yesterday to (ho lockers In which he is accustomed to keep his hunting and fish ing tackle he. discovered that his gun, two revolvers and some other small arti cles were missing. Ho went to Brown. “Brown,” quoth he, “Where is my gun?” “I don’ know, sah.” said the negro, in glib reply. “I never knew you had a gun. Something in the man’s attitude and manner convinced Mr. Chaplin he was ly ing and he made a grab for him. He got the negro by the scuff of the neck and was on the vorgd of illustrating his meaning with his fist, when Brown stopped him. “I’ll tell you where your gun is.” he said. The negro reached over behind his lied and pulled out a bunch of tickets. They represented, severally, the gun, revolvers, a razor, a pair of trousers and a mackin tosh. all of which had been hypothecated by the ingenious Brown at the loc.il pawn shops. For the mackintosh, as good a one as Mr. Chaplin could purchase. Brown had obtained the princely sum of forty cents. At the shop where his gun had been pawned, Mr. Chaplin was urged to pay nor only the amount of the loan, but also the interest the pawnbroker had expected to got from the negro. He re fused. Needless to say he owed the iwiwnbroker nothing and couid have re covered his property without the payment of a cent. Had lie done so it would have been a step in the direction of the amend ment of the condition which prevails in Savannah, which enables a thief to dis pose of his plunder without any trouble. Thus has Mr. Chaplin’s faith been shat tered. He had thought he was assisting in the reformation of a criminal; he now perceives he has but opened his doors for the reception and made easy the prac tices of a very ordinary but absolutely incorrigible thief. $21.75 to Chicago *nd Return via Southern Railway.
