Joseph King, employed as a porter on
one of the commissary trains of the Sea
board Air Line, was shot and fatally
wounded last night by an unknown negro
tramp at Stetson, a station in Bryan
county, 22 miles from Savannah. The i
negro who did the shooting escaped with a
companion, but it is believed that he was
wounded. King was shot in the abdomen
nnd died near Meldrim, in Effingham
county. He slated that he was sure that
he had wounded his murderer.
King was shot on the platform of the
second class car white passenger train No.
72 was moving rapidly towards Stetson.
He had boarded the train at Ainericus and
was traveling to Savannah on a pass.
The railroad porter lost his life in an ef
fort to save Baggnge Master A. DeGraf
fenreid. The tramp had fired upon him
front the car steps and King had gono to
Ms rescue.
Two negro tramps got on the trucks,
between the engine and baggage ear, at
Ellabell and were seen by Conductor W.
R. Glenn. He ordered his porter, a ne
gro named Richard Ferris, to go for
ward and bring the two men in the sec
ood-class car. Ferris did as he was told
and the tramps were taken before the
conductor. One of them had 10 cents and
upon giving that amount to Glenn was
told that he would be permitted to ride
to the next station, which is Stetson.
The second man stated that he had no
money, and his companion did not have
enough to see him through to the next
stopping place. Conductor Glenn told the
man who had no money that he was
under arrest for stealing a ride on a rail
way train, which is a misdemeanor in
Georgia. The prisoner was turned over
to Baggage Master Da, Graffenreid, with
instructions to secure him in the baggage
car until Stetson was reached.
The train was going at a rapid rate
when DeGrafTenreid started for the bag
gage car with the tramp in front of him.
The two men reached the platform of the
second class car, and the baggage mas
ter shut the door behind him. As he did
so the negro Jumped to the step of the
car. and drawing a revolver, started shoot
ing at the railroad man. PeGraffenreid
jumped into the door of the baggage car
and asked Conductor Glenn If he had a
revolver. He was told where he could
And one and shut the door, when he went
to get the weapon.
King heard tho baggage man ask for n
pistol, and hearing the shooting ran to
the platform. He stepped ont of the oar
door and the tramp opened fire on him.
The porter was armed and a duel between
the two meti followed at short range. The
train had already slackened for the stop
at Stetson, and the last shot was tired
by the tramp as the engine came to a
(standstill. He .had fired five times and
King had shot twice. A the last cart
ridge in his revolver exploded the tramp
either jumped or fell from the car step.
The commissary porter sat down and
announced that he had been wounded. A
bail had entered the abdomen, and he
Raid that he felt that his life was pars
ing away. The baggageman had not found
the pistol, but with the porter and con
ductor, searched for the tramp. It was
RUite dark, and the man may have been
in some ditch wounded. The railroad men
were unable to locate him, however, and
in the excitement his companion, who had
paid his fare of 10 cents, managed to es
cape.
King was placed in the coach, and a
telegram was sent to Savannah, telling of
the shooting and asking that a physi
cian be on hand to meet the train upon
its arrival at the Central depot. King
lived thirty minutes and when the
( .train reached the city shortly before 10
o'clock it was with his lifeless l>ody.
Coroner J .G. Keller was summoned
and accompanied by Police Surgeon Os
borne went to the depot. When he learn
ed of the circumstances copnected with
the shooting he announced that It had
occurred outside of his bailiwick and that
St was a case for the coroner of Bryan
county. That official was notified by tele
graph and will probably hold an inquest.
Jl is not at all likely that the negro who
did the shooting will be arrested, unless
he was seriously wounded by King. As
far as is known King was unmarried. He
lived at No. 652 Factory street, corner of
Bounrtry.
CHICKENS LIFTED MGHTLY.
Organised Gang Operating In East

Out in the eastern section of the city,
near the intersection of Gaston and East
Rroad streets, an organized gang of chick

dents of that locality miss some of their
feathered pets.
The neighborhood Is largely inhabited by
an industrious and respectable class of
colored |*cople and they have proven the
principal sufferers. The thieves came one
night and attacked the chlctun coop of

SHOULD GET IT ALL
J Charity Doe* \ot Get It* Share of
Money Intended for It.
Savannah merchants are not all in a mooo
to respond to future appeals for charity
that are made by persons whose chief in
■ terest is to shore in the proceeds that fol
low. They have had such an experience
! lately, and they do not want an early re
newal. Not only the merchants object,
but the citizens generally who contributed
by buying tickets to an entertainment un
der the Impresison ttiat they were giving
the entire amount to charity.
Developments that have followed the
entertainment given last Thursday at the
Guards' Hall for the benefit of the Chil
dren’s Hospital have not made those who
bought tickets any too well pleased with
themselves for contributing, when only
o small proportion of what they gave for
admission found its way to the hospital
fund. It is said that 1,200 tickets were
sold at $1 each and that the party who
arranged the programme and conducted
the sale of the tickets drew down SBO9,
which, if the report is true, was not at
all bad.
Most of those whose names appeared
upon the programme were very well paid.
Expenses, it is said, took up S2OO. Tire
Children’s Hospital, therefore, received
S2OO as its share of the receipts. With
a performance that had the magic of the
name of the hospital and tho charity it
represents to work upon tho sympathies
of the public and induce the purchase of
tickets, it is believed that the institution
should have had more profit.
Mayor Myers did not think at all well
of the arrangement. He said that it is
not right for those disposed to give to
charity to have even a portion of what
they give devoted to individual profit.
One likes to think that one’s entire con
tribution goes to the institution to which
it is supposedly made. The Mayor be
lieves that those managing an entertain
ment to be given in the name of charity
should themselves give their services for
charity and not for their personal profit.
A story is told of a lawyer who bought
five tickets 'to the entertainment. After
giving tin his $5. he learned of the agree
ment under which the Children’s Hospi
tal was not to get all of the net pro
ceeds. He then demanded back his
money, and got it.
The Savannah ladies in charge of the
Children’s Hospital movement In enter
ing into the arrangement for the benefit
entertainment, did so in good faith, ex
pecting without investigating the matter,
that the hospital would get a much larger
sum than it did. Tho proposition to give
the entertainment on shares appeared
to them an easy and satisfactory way ot
securing a considerable sum for the tio
pltal fund. The thorough ctnvus .that
the traveling manager and his assistants
made for ticket/* soon convinced them that
if the effort had heer made by the hos
pital managers themselves, the results
would have been far more profitable to
them. The contract for the entertainment
had been made, however, and was car
ried out,
RIFLEMEN WILL MEET.'
Annual Meeting nnd rrnetiee AVIII
Be Held Thnrxdny.
The first practice of the Savannah Rifle
Association will be held at the rifle range
on next Thursday. The annual meeting
of the association will then be held, and,
after the election of officers and the
transaction of other business, the anni
versary match will be shot. Sides will be
chosen from among the members present,
and the match will be shot with all ex
penses defrayed by the association. Re
freshments will be served, aud every
thing done by the officers to make those
ivho attend have a pleasant lime.
After several months, during which
they have had an opportunity for prac
tice, the devotees of the rifle will find it
a pleasure to again have a try at the tar
gets. Improvements have been made at
the range, too. since many of them were
there lust. The house at the 300-yard
range has been enlarged and fitted up for
serving refreshments, and a telephone to
give connection with the city has been
pul In.
The following arc the present officers
of the association:
President—Maj. XV. W. Williamson.
Vice President—Mr. Frank C*. Battey.
Secretary—("apt. W. G. Austin.
Treasurer—Mr. S. E. Theus.
Executive Committee—Messrs. J. R.
Saussy, F. C. Wilson, A. McC. Duncan,
C. S. Richmond and W. D. Dearing.
Ordnance Officer—Capt. J. P. White.
Some time during May the annual ban
quet of the association will be held. It
has not yet been determined just where
the affair will take place, but it is sup
posed that it will be at Mrs. Hannon’s
at Thunderbolt, where the annual banquet
was given so successfully last year. It
is supposed, too, that it will be in the
open air, as last year.

■* Will Report on Day Following.
Meeting ol Director* Mny Re Held
Wednesday (Location May Then
Hr Settled.
Estimates of the cost of putting the
sites offered to the Savannah Fair Asso
ciation in condition for holding the State
Fair, will be furnished the Site Commiy
tee of the directors day after to-morrow
by Mr. Percy Sugden, the civil engineer,
who has been employed to make a survey
of the three tracts under consideration.
Mr. Sugden said yesterday that he has
already been over the Dale avenue and
the Screven tracts, and that he expects
to make a survey of the Ten Broeck tract
to-morrow. His report to the committee
will give it the information it has sought
for transmission to the directors. A meet
ing of the directors will probably be held
on Wednesday, as Mr. J. W. Jackson,
chairman of the committee, believes it
will be ready by that day to report.
Mr. Sugden said he had made his sur
vey of the Dale avenue tract, but that
he had not had opportunity to make up
his estimate. Though he could not state
positively, he said that lie thought it
would cost SO,OOO or $6,000 to build a race
track on the Dale avenue tract and do
the necessary grading, provided a cer
tain plan that he hud hit upon for cheap
ening the outlay wore followed. Other
wise, the cost would be SIO,OOO.
Tite plan Mr. Sugden will propose, will
be to have the race track laid off on the
west end of the tract, making it touch
near Waters load, instead of near Bee
road, on the east end, as was contem
plated by the Site Committee, in the
event of the acceptance of the tract. By
such a plan, there would be less grading
necessary than would be required were
the track built further east.
There is less elevation to the western
portion of the tract than there is to the
eastern. The slant is toward the west,
and it therefore follows that, the farther
removed the track may be from the west
ern boundary of the tract, the deeper will
be the cut required on the east side or
the higher the bank on the west side, in
the construction. With this increase in
depth of the cut or in the hight of the
hank would be u corresponding increase
In the cost of construction, Mr. Sugden
said.
In tho construction of a track
where the land is not absolutely
level, the engineer said, a cut cannot be
made without grading the land inside the
track. A clear view the entire distance
of the track must be afforded. Tf a cut
offers obstruction to the view, then tho
ground on the inside must be leveled.
Consequently, said Mr. Sugden, the far
ther the track on the Dale avenue land
might be laid off to the east, the deeper
would be the cut and the greater the
quantity of earth that weld have to be
removed from inside the track.
An idea of tho commltteo lias been that
the fair buildings should be located as
near the city as possible, if the Dale
avenue property were chosen, but Mr.
Sugden believes there would be an ad
vantage in having them on the east side,
where the land is high and! of a sandy
character. If they were built on the west
side, which is nearer the city, there would
be tho need for constructing the race
track toward the cast. The ground on
tho west, too, is a mixture of sand and
clay, and would become muddy and soft
in wet weather. It would not be well
suited for the erection of stable buildings,
and, when wet, would be a decided in
convenience to visitors to the fair.
Then, too, if the track were built to
ward the east, there would be some diffi
culty caused by the canal that runs
through, the western portion of the land.
This canal would have to be filled in for
a considerable part of its length, were
the track built on the east, but, built
more to the west, it would only need to
be filled where the track would cross it.
The cost of putting the Screven tract
in condition, Mr. Sugden said, would be
considerable, for the reason that tho land,
though level, is virgin, and it would be
expensive to clear it of the trees. Not
only would the trees have to be cut down,
but the stumps would have to bo remov
ed and the holes made thereby tilled up.
Those who favor the Ten Broeek site
will await with interest the result of Mr.
Sugden’s investigation there. Stockhold
ers and the public generally will be inter
ested 111 the action of the directors at their
next meeting. One of the directors said
yesterday that he believes the question of
a site will then be sttled.
Mr. Jackson declared that he Is pre
judiced In favor of no she, hut that he
Is only anxious to obtain (he one of
fering the greatest advantages and that
might be chosen by the directors to the
greatest profit to the stockholders of the
Fair Association and the people of
Savannah. He is impressed, he said, by
a popular demand that he has discovered
exists for the Dale avenue tract. He
favors the idea of a meeting of the
stockholders to settle the uqestlon of a
site, hnl believes one would only be want
ed in the event that any other selection
than of the Dale avenue tract should be
made. If that tract were chosen by the
directors, ho said he felt fully assured
that there would be no protest from the
stockholders.
It is believed generally that the cost of
putting the Ten Broeck property In oon
•llilon for fair grounds will he materially
less than that shown by the estimate of
expense t the Dale avenue trat * hat will
be provided by Mr. Sugden. and many
lake that to mean that the directors will
find It to the interest of Ihe Fair Associa
tion to select I lie Ten Broeck tract. From
present Indications, however, it would
seem that, unless some wide disparity be
tween Ihe co*t of the work required upon
•he two tracts should he shown by Mr.
Sugden. tlie choice of the directors will
bo for Dale avenue.

PYTHIANS GRAND LODGE.
Blr Knight* Who Will Represent
Savannah in Brttntick.
The thirty-second annual convention of
the Grand Dodge Knights of Pythias of
Georgia will be held in Brunswick May
21. Savannah will be well represented.
Arrangements are already being made by
the local lodges and Grand Keeper of Rec
ords and Seal William T. Leopold is get
ting his papers and reports in readiness
for the . invention.
There are 945 Knights of Pythias in Sa
vannah. Atlanta ranks second in Georgia,
with 804. Mr. Leopold, who has been
Grand Keeper for the last ten years, says
that the order in Georgia is in a flour
ishing condition. When he first began
his duties he only had to keep his eyes
on 85 lodges, and now 101 require his at
tention. During the past year twelve new
lodges were organized in the state, the
largest gain in twelve months on record.
One of the features of the convention
will be the competitive drill of the several
uniformed companies in the state. The
rivalry between Brunswick, Augusta and
Savannah is strong, and the contest for
first prize promises to be close. There
are three uniformed companies in Savan
nah, and it is expected that they will at
tend the convention with full ranks'.
They are Georgia, No. 1: Teu
tonia. No. 3, and Savannah No. 15
In the call sent out for the convention
attention is especially called to the law
requiring each representative during the
session to wear on the left lapel of his
coat a grand represent at Ive’s Jewel, as
prescribed by the Supreme Lodge. Past
supreme chancellors, past grand chancel
lors and past chancellors shall wear the
respective jewels of their rank, the su
preme representatives and Grand Lodge
officers shall wear the jewels of their re
spective offices, and unless wearing such
jewels shall not have seats in the Grand
Lodge.
The seven Savannah lodges have al
ready chosen their delegates, and with
the uniformed companies will probaply
go to Brunswick on a special train. The
official programme has not yet been an
nounced, but the visitors are assured that
they will be treated royally. The Savan
nah delegates and their lodges follows:
Forest City, No. 1, Dr. M. X. Corbin
and Felton B. Ivey; Myrtle, No. 6, E. S.
Mason and J. M. Aikens; Teutonia, No. 3,
J. D. Semken and John Stahtierj Excel
sior, No. 8, F. W. Cramer and W. G. Sut
live; Calanthe. No. 28, Bernard Ehrlich
and A. N. Brown; Chivalry, No. 7, Jacob
Gazan; Savannah, No. 52, Harry Karger
and A. C. Craig. This is the largest and
oldest lodge in the state, and enjoys a
membership of 219.
A STUDY IV ASTRONOMY.
I* Furnished l>y Vender*. Bnt Slravr
berrie* Are Preferred.
Venders of strawberries have hit upon
a scheme for falsifying measurements
that is very, very clever. It has the merit
of attracting the eye of the aesthetic, but
it cannot deceive the eyes of the careful
and observant housewife. Some of the la
dies who have bought the berries sold un
der the false plan, of measuring have
cried out against it.
Everyone is familiar with the square
baskets iiv which the strawberries are
marketed. Some astute vender has re
cently hil upon the happy thought that
the baskets do not look we’.’l- in their
square shape. Actuated, of course, solely
by a desire to add to the beauty of the
basket and to give the luscious berries a
more attractive repository, he decided to
mash in the basket on each side, thereby
giving it the shape of a star.
This had the desired effect. It mad© the
basket look much better and it mad© the
berries appeal the stronger to the admi
ration of the epicure. But there was a
result that was not so pleasing to the
house wife. Experiment demonstrated
that it made the basket lose in capacity
when its shape was distorted into that
of a star. By using star baskets, three
of them can be made to hold the contents
of two of the square baskets. That is
clever and ingenious, but there is at least
one lady who is on to the loss in capacity.
The publication of the advice should put
a stop to the practice of the vender.
SWEDISH CAPTAIN DROWNED.
Fell Overboard Front a Ladder nnd
Never Canto Up.
Capt. Nordquist of the Swedish bark
Norrskenet was drowned early yesterday
morning while attempting to board, by a
ladder, his vessel which lies at the Plant
System wharves. The captain, the mate,
and some friends, had been ashore until
quite late. When they arrived at the ves
sel to go aboard for the night they were
forced to climb a ladder to reach the deck.
The mate got up in safety, but the cap
tain lost his hold, fell, and striking some
ballast logs at the side of the vessel was
probably rendered unconscious, ard must
have sunk immediately for no one saw
the body after it struck water. Though
quite dark search for the body was be
gun, and kept up all yesterday morning,
but without avail.
The Norrskenet has been nt Savannah
about a month. She is consigned to
Messrs. C. G. Dahl & Cos., and la loading
naval stores.
A Big Having to Him*©keeper*,
know Drift l.artl Coniponnd.
Tills is one of the most popular lard
products on the market. It is selling 2c to
3c cheaper than hog lard. It not only
serves just as well as hog lard, but actual
ly is becoming recognized as the superior
of hog lard.
For quality and flavor It is far and
away ahead of any lard compound on the
market. It is pronounced so by experts.
Snow Drift is made by the Southern Cot
ton Oil Company of this city. It Is a
home industry. Our own product. The
Southern Cotton Oil Cos. spends thousands
of dollars a week here and deserves the
patronage of the people of Savannah.
The grocers of Savannah are placing or
ders lively for Snow Drift and the chances
are that it will supersede hog lard and
other compounds.
Snow Drift is kept now by all the lead
i Ing grocers and if housewives will call for
| It, aud try it, they w’ill use nothing else.
They will find out that It is better than
lard—that it does not impair health as
lard so often does, that R Is clean nnd
free of unpleasant odors. It is made by
our own |>eople, for our own people, and
they will support it.—ad.

career. It touches only tho choicest meats,

Suggestion for Aon.
Your hand and brain produce an Income
(fthat is the support of your family. That
income must cease at your death.
Do you know that every $1,090 produced
by your hand and brain annually repre
sents the purchasing power of over $16,-
000 at 6 per cent?
Do you ever reflect that your death
would destroy that producing power and
take from your wife and children just
that much capital?
Do you know that 90 per cent, of the
business men of the country fail at least
once during a period of twenty years?
Do you think that your chances of suc
cess are better than those of other men?
Do you sincerely desire to throw every
safeguard around your wife end children
to shield them against the possibility
of future want or suffering?
Do you know that $5,000 or SIO,OOO can
be added to your estate by paying from
three per cent, to four per cent, interest
for a short term of years on that sum?
Do you know that you can leave your
family $5,000 or SIO,OOO by the simple pay
ment of an amount each year that is
about equal to the taxes payable upon
the same amount of real estate, and you
have not a dollar of capital invested?
Are you encumbered with debts or mort
gages? They can all be cleared off in case
of death by a life insurance policy In the

FOUR SEASONS TO OBSERVE.
Role* to Follow to Keep Yon In
Good Spirit*.
When It Is generally appreciated that all
things change with the seasons, less com
plaint will be heard by those affected.
Spring fever is a common complaint, and
yet th© observance of a few simple rules
will prevent it and keep you in excellent
spirits. The successful dealer must ar
range for new things required for the new
seasons. This is Spring, and consequently
Logan has his stalls packed with Spring
supplies. Such for instance as pickled ox
tongues, round and boneless rolled corned
beef, Spring grouse, Spring chickens, and
Spring vegetables. Be careful what you
cat, and also be careful where you buy
it. Logan’s supplies can be had by tele
phone or personal call.—ad.
Fopulur Shoe*.
The Globe Shoe Cos. i9 advertising in
this issue of the Morning News Burt &
Packard’s famous $4 shoe, “korrcct
shape.”-
The shoe is shown high and low pat
terns, in four styles. New velour calf,
the vici, tan Russias and patent kid.
Until recently these well-known manufac
turers of shoes did not make a shoe which
sold for less than $5 and $7. Everything
that they make is high grade.
The $1 shoe now on the market and
which has proved so popular is a higlt
class shoe and has been sold in the store
of the Globe Shoe Cos. for a quarter of a
century for $5 and $7. New machinery,
modern appliances and closer profits pos
sibly, has prompted the makers of these
shoes to mark them at a popular price.
In this enterprising stroke they have
pleased the public.
Ready for Summer.
The Electric Supply Cos., 40 Drayton
street, has had an eye single to the com
fort of Sovannahians.. It has just re
ceived a shipment of electric desk and
celling fans. They are in all sizes and
varieties. The business of this company
has opened up on fans and it Is expected
that it will run far ahead of last season,
as fans are improved and the need for
them has grown rapidly.

me. For the last twelve years I have
been troubled with dyspepsia, gas on
stomach, jerking and nervous. This
trouble grew so severe at time* that I
could scarcely stand upon my fee<. I
was Jn this miserable condition when

relieved me, and I have not jerked from
nervousness since, nor have I suffered
from gas b n stomach or from dyspepsia
