Taken to Thunderbolt and I*le of
Hope.
The prelates of the Roman Catholic
Church, who have been in Savannah
for the last three days, in attendance
upon the “Forty Hours Devotions,’’
which have been celebrated at the
Sacred Heart Church, were entertained
yesterday by the Church Committee
which had as its guests also, many
of the local clergy and prominent mem
bers of the laity.
The entertainment consisted of a
carriage drive about the city, to Thun
derbolt and a part of the way to Isle
of Hope. A return was made to Thun
derbolt, where a dinner for her distin
guished visitors had been prepared by
Mrs. Bannon. This was served at 7:30
o'clock. Among the members of the
clergy present were the Right Rev
erend B. J. Kelley, bishop of Savan
nah, the Right Reverend Leo Haid,
D.D., O. S. 8., bishop of North Caro-
Mna, Rev. E-.ther Buddg Qf.ChiU-ie.stQn,
and Rev. Fathers Gregory, Hennessy,
Reich, Schonhardt and Aloyslus.
There were present also about thir
ty other guests, members of the church
committee and others. Mr. P. J.
O’Connor, chairman of the church com
mittee, was toast master and discharg
ed the duties of that office in a satis
factory way. Addresses were made by
a number of the diner*. That of Bish
op Kelley, who was one of the first
speakers, was upon the work that had
been done In his diocese by the Bene
dictine Orders, to whom he paid the
highest compliments. Bishop Haid
spoke of his hope that he will be able
to establish a Benedictine school for
beys in Savannah shortly, about next
fall; while several of the guests, mem
bers of the committee,. spoke of the
hope of the committee that it will be
able to build soon anew Sacred Heart
Church larger than the present one, a
plan that they have had In considera
tion for some time past.
All of the visiting clergy left for
their homes last night.
WEDDED A SECOND TIME.
Couple Who Eloped East Thursday
Again and More Regularly United.
Mr. Mordecai Sheftall and Miss Clyde
Davis were married last night bv Jus
tice I. R. Nathans, a relative of the
groom. The ceremony that Justice
Nathans performed was the second
which had made the young people man
and wife, the first having been a hasty
and somewhat informal affair that
took place in Ridgeland, S. C., last
Thursday.
The bride is from Atlanta, where
during the past year the groom has
spent a considerable part of his time.
An attachment between them grew up
In that city, and recently when Miss
Davis came to Savannah on a visit, it
was determined that they should make
the trip to Ridgeland and there, de
spite parental or other objections, see
to it that the knot was firmly tied.
The trip was made last Thursday,
and the pair returned to announce to
their friends and relatives in this city
that they had been married. There
was some consternation, but the ob
jections to the marriage that had been
entertained were more on account of
the youth of the parties than anything
else, and a perfect willingness to ac
cept a situation that growling could
not improve, followed the first shock
of surprise.
It was determined, however, to have
the knot retied, the second time in a
more formal and regular fashion than
had been possible in the hurry of the
first occasion, and yesterday afternoon
Mr. Sheftall appeared in the office of
the clerk of the Court of Ordinary
and announced that he desired to have
a license.
Clerk Creamer pulled down the book
of licenses and prepared to
comply with the request, but the ap
plicant's answer to the first question
asked him, his age, threw a damper
on the whole proceeding, and nearly
resulted in the enforced postponement
of the second ceremony for another
day at least. The young man said he
was 20.
"In that event." said the clerk, "it
will be necessary for you to secure
the consent of your parents or guar
dian to your marriage before I will
issue the license.”
Mr. Sheftall said it was a mistake —
a mere slip of the tongue, that did not
state the fact. The truth was. as he
explained at great length and almost
with tears in his eyes, that he
was born on Aug. 9, 1880, apd there
fore had attained his majority several
months ago. Mr. Cream sr. however,
was obdurate and an appeal to Oapt.
McAlpin w r as not successful in chang
ing the status. For half an hour or
more he besought the hard-heartel of
ficials to issue the license and thus
permit the legal consummation of
love's young dream, but they would
not yield to his pleadings.
At last he went to his home and re
turned with the written consent of his
guardian and on this showing the '!-
oense was issued. The young man re
turned triumphantly and last night, by
virtue of the law’s authority, he and
his bride of a -week ago were again
united in the holy bonds of matrimony.

REWARD FOR MURDERERS.
rinn Suggested That Might Bring
Results In Baker Killing.
The killing of Samuel T. Baker in
Colonial Park still remains a mystery,
and a reward may be offered for the
arrest of the murderers. It is be
lieved by many that this might result
in their capture.
Mr. J. N. Baker of Beaufort, S. C.,
a nephew of the murdered man, ar
rived in the city yesterday for the
purpose of pushing the Investigation.
Mr. Baker will call upon Mayor Myers
to-day and ask him to offer a reward
for the arrest of the murderers. A meet
ing of Council will probably be called if
the city should decide to offer a re
ward. It was stated yesterday that
should the city name a reward, friends
of Mr. Baker would add to the amount.
All of the theories so far advanced
point to the fact that the killing was
done by more than one man, and in
this way the reward might cause an
explanation of the mystery now sur
rounding the tragedy. It is pointed
out that if the crime was reallv com
mitted by three men one of them might
turn state's evidence.
This could very easily be arranged,
and It is thought that a substantial
reward would be followed by the sur
render of one of the murderers. If
three men committed the crime It is
probable that one member of the party
would be apt to be attracted by the
reward, knowing that by turning
state s evidence he could escape pun
ishment for any part he might have
played in the homicide.
There are some who do not believe
that robbery was the motive of the
criminals, while all of those who have
conducted the investigation agree that
the crime was not committed by any of
the grafters who were here for the
State Fair. Mr. Baker was lying in
the park wounded for almost an hour
before he was found, and may have
been robbed during his perlocT ~ot un
consciousness, if Indeed the watch and
bunch of keys were not taken out of
his pockets by the murderers them
selves. They may have done this and
turned the wounded man's pockets
wrong side out for the purpose of put
ting the police on a false track.
While many theories have been ad
vanced, and are being investigated by
the officers, there are two clues that
are being followed closely by the de
tectives. They are totally different, as
to motive, and either may be the true
theory. It is quite probable that Mr.
Baker was killed under circumstances
such as are related In one of the two
clues, to which so much importance Is
being attached. Neither theory makes
one man the perpetrator of the crime,
and the offering of a reward would in
crease the chances of the arrests.
Those who do not think that the
motive was robbery are of the opinion
that Mr. Baker encountered a trio of
young men who had probably been
drinking. They saw a bottle in his
hand, and in a riotous manner may
have grabbed for it. Mr. Baker car
ried a walking stick, and may have
lifted it to strike one of the party.
His eyes were bruised, and he may
have been struck with a fist before the
fatal wounds In the head were made.
Those who are inclined towards this
theory say that after he fell Ue was
probably kicked in the head and face.
His walking stick was covered with
blood, and It is not considered prob
able that he lost consciousness before
putting up a fight with his assailants,
even though his effort was feeble, The
assailants may have taken the watch
and keys as a blind, or they may have
run off and left the unconscjous man
for some negro stroller to go through.
It is generally believed that Mr. Baker
made same show at resistenee before
the mortal wounds were administered.
ARE THERE TWO BETTIE B’S J
That is the Question That is Con
cerning John Kerr.
An investigation is .to be made that
may result in the ruling off from all
recognized race tracks of the owner of
the real or the reputed Bettie B. The
Bettie B. that won the five furlongs
dash at the Savannah track last Sat
urday is owned by W. F. Walter, who
was here with the mare. She did the
five-eighths in the fast time of 1:01,
with Gladhand, owned by John Kerr,
second. From Savannah Mr. Waiter
carried his horse to Jacksonville, where
Bettie B has been capturing purses in
the races in which she has started.
Reports have it, however, that a
mare named Bettie B has been running
at the Bennings meeting Mr. Kerr saw
such a report in the press dispatches.
He found that a mare, entered under
the same breeding as the Bettie B.
entered at Savannah, was running
there, and concluded that tt was time
to make an investigation.
It will be recalled that Mr. Kerr was
discontented because of the reinstate
ment of Bettie B. after she had been
ruled off the track at Columbia because
of an effort on the part of her jockey
to throw away some of his weight.
She was reinstated by the Columbia
Association, and was, therefore, allow
ed to run at Savannah, though she had
first been scratched from a race in
which she had been entered here. This
story has already been told in the
Morning News.
On seeing the report that a Bettie B.
was starting at Bennings, Mr. Kerr
concluded that there was something
wrong. He called on President Owens
of the Savannah Fair Association and
Manager H. H. Hull of the Savannah
races. They agreed that the matter
should be investigated. Mr. Hull is in
clined to the belief that the real Bet
tie B. started at Savannah, as Mr.
Walter was with her and would not
have undertaken to perpetrate such n
fraud. It is quite possible, Mr. Hull
considers, that there may be some er
ror in the report or its transmission,
and that there is really no such horse
at Bennings.

The recently elected officers of Fran
cis S. Bartow Camp of Sons of Con
federate Veterans were installed at a
meeting of the camp held last night, a
meeting largely attended and manifest
ing in its every feature the rekindled
and strengthened interest that is be
ing taken in the work of the order by
its representatives here in Savannah.
The officers installed were as fol
lows:
Commandant—David C. Barrow.
First Lieutenant Commander —Rog-
ers S. Woods.

date, ways and means, and report
hack to the camp at its next regular
meeting, to be called specially for the
purpose of receiving and acting upon

new officers, which they bid fair to
realize, to make it the banner camp
of the state division.
Refreshments were served the mem
bers of the camp at the conclusion of
the meeting last night, and a pleasant
hour was spent in the enjoyment of
these and in Informal social relaxation.
These social hours have been made a
feature of the meetings of the camp,
and have served very largely to in
crease the average attendance of the
members.
HUNT CLUB’S FIRESIDE HUNT.
The Evening to Be Devoted to Good
Stories and the Chase.
The Chatham Hunt Club will hold
its annual fireside hunt at the De Soto
to-morrow night. The meeting will,
of course, be largely attended. It is
not known yet whether any non-resi
dent members will be present or not.
The purpose of these meets is to get
together the lovers of the sport of the
kings and to hear them through the
evening in their best stories. Every
gentleman who has ridden to hounds
has some good tale to relate of the
dogs he owned and of the wonderful
running of his friends. There are to
day more fine fox and deer hounds in
Savannah then ever. The Chatham
Hunt Club has a pack of more than
25 fox dogs, and Mr. Jacob Rauers
received from Virginia this season the
best deer dogs ever brought to this
section.
Last season was a fine one for the
Chatham Hunt Club. Foxes were
plentiful and they ran well. This sea
son they are even better sport. They
get up quicker, start faster and run
longer. x
Thanksgiving meet of last year was
largely attended and was the best
of the season. Arrangements will be
made to-morrow night for the holiday
meets. errfbracing Thanksgiving,
Christmas and New Year. Officers of
the club will also be chosen and new
members will be elected.

Russian Woman Crossed to Marry
the Man of Her Choice.
An old romance, that had its incep
tion on the frozen steppes of Russia,
found its consummation in Savannah
yesterday, when Manuel Zlmaraki and
Maria Mirmrdu were made man and
wife. They had been lovers in the old
country and when the man came to
the United States, to make his fortune
and escape oppression, he left behind
him a promised bride.
That has been years ago. but the
bride was faithful to the trust reposed
in her by her far-distant sweetheart,
and he too had kept her name on his
lips and her image in his heart. The
expected fortune is still in the future,
but Zlmaraki had saved a little and
his first important investment was in
a ticket from his old home in Russia
to Savannah, with which he furnished
the woman who was to come to him
across land and sea.
She came yesterday morning and
there was an affecting meeting between
the long-parted lovers. A license was
obtained from the Ordinary and within
a very brief space after the arrival of
the bride the marriage ceremony was
performed.

BACK FROM CANE FIELDS.
Dr. H. W. Wiley Will Go Through
Savannah for Washington To-day.
The trip of Dr. H. W. Wiley, who
has been on a tour of investigation Into
the cane growing territory of Geor
gia, and the methods employed for the
manufacture of syrup, having been
concluded with the trip to Cairo Tues
day night Dr. Wiley and party, in
cluding Capt. D. G. Purse, Mr. James
Menzies and Mr. C. B. Roberts, yes
terday, went to Jacksonville. There
an address was delivered by Dr. Wiley
before the Florida Fair Association
after which, with Capt. Purse, he
went to Brunswick to be the guests
of the Brunswick Board of Trade. To
day he will pass through Savannah en
route to Washington.
Dr. Wiley expressed himself yester
day as more than pleased, and sur
prised with what he had seen on his
trip. Some of the cane examined was
quite as good, as to bulk, as that of
the Louisiana plantations, and though
none of the analyses of this season's
crop have as yet been made, those of
former crops shows that the Georgia
cane contains a larger per cent, of
sucrose than the Louisiana product,
and also contains from I to 2 per cent,
of glucose, which also, utilized’ in
the making of syrup, though a disad
vantage where cane is grown for sugar
making.
The manufacturing processes, that
of the Wight mill at Cairo, the chief
one visited in Southwest Georgia—also
met with Dr. Wiley's approval. He
had but two suggestions to make:
that the cane he ground twice, being
sprinkled with warm water or steam
in its progress to the second mill; and
that the syrup be boiled in vacuum
pans. Even these suggestions are in
tended only for mills which, manufac
ture on a large scale—for small crops
the added expense of the outfit would
more than counterbalance these ad
vantages secured -m— tttg~ Iticreggg —BT
juice.
Dr. Wiley thinks that an experiment
station In South Georgia would be of
immense benefit to the farmers of that
section. His views are held also by
Mr. J. B. Wight, who has long realized
the benefits that would be secured to
the farmer from such an institution
and who was one of the committee
that put the matter before the Legis
lature some months ago. Mr. Wight
will continue his efforts to secure the
station. He tyas the sympathy and
hearty co-operation of all the planters
of the south of the state, especially
of those that are planting cane.
"Such a station is needed and would
be used,” said Mr. Wight, “in testing
and developing a better variety of cane
for this section: in showing best meth
ods of fertilization and of cultivation;
in showing the best methods of clari
fying syrup, and in demonstrating the
advantages of this section for sugar
making.”
Tuesday's expedition to Cairo and
back was made on a special car placed
at the disposal of the party by th*
Plant System. From Waycross it was
in charge of Mr. D. F. Kirkland, su
perintendent of the third division,
Plant System, to whose forethought
for his guests and carefully planned
itinerary much of the pleasure of the
trip and the value of information ob
tained is due.
A Brunswick dispatch to the Morn
ing News stated that Dr. Wiley and
Capt. Purse had arrived there from
Florida to meet Brunswick's business
men and to talk sugar-cane and cassa
va growing. They were entertained at
dinner at the Ogfethorpe and later were
tendered *p info—-”>i reception at the
’'-■“nix Club. Efforts are being made
to have the visitors to remain over
until to-night and spend to-day among
the canefields of Glynn.
GROWING PECAN NUTS.
South Georgia Adding to Her Groves
Thousands of Trees Each Year.
Besides the sugar cane, as a money
making crop. South Georgia has in the
raising of pecans for the market an
industry, that, though now in its In
fancy, Is growing with rapid strides
every year, and which bids fair with
ii„ a very few years at most, to be
come one of the most profitable in
dustries of the southern section of the
state.
Trees in small numbers have been
growing in the state for many years,
but because the trees themselves were
neither selected, properly cared for, nor
grown in any quantity, but a small
number of nuts were sold, and then
only in a very restricted local market.
Recently, however, the farmers have
awakened to the fact that pecans can
be grown most profitably, and, act
ing on this knowledge they have be
gun setting out quite extensive groves
of the trees.
One such grove is that of Mr. J. B.
Wright, within a short distance of
Cairo. Here he has about 2,000 trees,
some of which are bearing this sea
son for the first time. Of this grove
150 trees are of the Frotscher variety,
a kind of which some idea of the val
ue from a commercial standpoint may
be gained, when it is known that
though only one or two of these trees
are now bearing, and that because
they are young the yield is small, that
the nuts yet command a price of 75
cents a pound for use as seed, and that
even at this price and for this purpose
Mr. Wright is quite unable to supply
the demand for them.
Mr. D. F. Kirkland of Thomasville,
who, because of his position as divis
ion superintendent of the Plant System
has occasion to keep in close touch
with conditions along the line of road,
states that a great many trees, esti
mated to be severer thousand each
year, are being set out in that section
of the country, especially in the vi
cinity of Baconton, DeWitt and Hard
away, and that though some of these
trees are bearing, the market for the
nut is still as it. has always been much
greater than the supply. •
Within the next year or two the crop
of pecans will be increased several fold
and the Georgia crop will then be
come an important factor In the gen
eral market.

RICE CROP IS SHORT
BIT THIS HAS NOT BROUGHT .ABOUT
A RISE HI PRICE.
AS LOW AS LAST YEAR’S.
THE PRICE THAT NOW PREVAILS
IN RICE MARKET.
Efforts Were Made by the Rice In
terests of Louisiana and Texas to
Promote the Use of the Grain by
Advertisement at the Pan-Ameri
can Exposition, but They Were
Not Successful—Rice Meu Unable
to Account for Shortage in the
Crop and Decline In Price—Para
dox for Which No Explanation Is
Ready—Estimates of the Shortage
in the Atlantic and the Gulf Dis
tricts,
Rice planters and brokers are unable
to account for the low prices that pre
vail, this season. Despite the fact that
the rice crop of Louisiana and Texas
and of the Atlantic seaboard is decid
edly short, the market has steadily
declined from the opening of the season
of new rice, and it is now as low or
lower in price than at the same time
last year.
Mr. W. G. Morrell said yesterday
that he knows of no reason for the
paradox of short supply and slight de
mand. Other grains have fared far
better than rice. He instanced a few
to show that they are selling at from
60 to 100 per cent, above the prices at
which they wdre sold at this time last
year.
The rice interests of Louisiana and
Texas, Mr. Mbrrell said, spent SIO,OOO
at the Pan-American Exposition, seek
ing to educate the people to the use of
rice. The grain was served for visit
ors, and efforts were made to instruct
in the proper methods for cooking it.
It was though probable that the more
general use of rice might result, but
the shortage in the crop and the low
prices would not seem to justify the be
lief that the advertisement had such
effect.
From advices received from Wil
mington, N. C„ . Georgetown and
Charleston, Mr. Morrell concludes that
the crop of the Atlantic seaboard is,
decidedly short. Reports from Texes
and Louisiana, too, show a shortage.
The crop of those two states is usually
about 2,000,000 bags,’ or 10,000,000 bush
els. A report that is given as that of
an expert shows a probable shortage of
10 per cent.
The Atlantic crop, according to Mr.
Morrell, is shorter than that of Texas
and Louisiana. About 2,000,000 bushels
is the usual yield in this territory, Sa
vannah, Charleston, Georgetown and
Wilmington are the principal centers
of the rice industry. Savannah esti
mates a shortage of about 25 per cent.,
Charleston a shortage of from 30 to
40 per cent., Georgetown a shortage
of from 40 to 60 per cent., and Wil
mington a shortage of from 20 to 30
per cent.
The pleasant summer, with its cool
nights, caused the shortage in the crop,
Mr. Morrell said. The heads never flli
undei such conditions. Hot, sultry
weather is best for rice, but. unfortu
na telly, it is also best for the genera
tion of storms. Storms are destructive
to rice, so that planters Have a diffi
cult time. When weather is unpropl
tious for their crops, they may reas
onably expect there will be no storm;
when it is conducive to a large yield,
they are in fear and trembling that a
storm may ruin their crops.
Loss in weight has also come about
through the cool summer. As the heads
did not fill, a bushel, by measure,
weighs light. Several quarts more
than after an ordinary season are re
quired, by measure, to make' up a
bushel, 45 pounds, by weight.
Mode General Managers.
Mr. T. H. Jones of Atlanta, general
southern manager of the Mutual Life
of Kentucky, and Dr. James B. Speed
man of Louisville, chief medical direc
tor, were in Savannah yesterday. They
met their agents in Savannah, Messrs.
J. A. Brogdon and Allen Sweat, and
appointed them general managers for
Eastern Georgia, with headquarters in
Savannah. Messrs. Brogdon and Sweat
have secured offices in the Sorrel build
ing and will move in within a few
days.

In Reference to Vacant Lot*.
There is Just one tract of land In the
old limit* of the city; that is north
of Anderson and west of East Broad,
which has not already been built up,
that is. that land lying between Price
and East Broad streets and fronting
on Gwinnett street lane, Bolton street,
Waldburg street. Park avenue (New
Houston street), Duffy street, Henry
street and Anderson street.
While this piece of land has been
lying unbuilt on and undeveloped, the
march of improvement has leaped over
it and you find handsome residences a
mile further south, and a mile further
east; and this big space of ground in
what is now the heart of the city—lies
vacant. ’ ;
The former owner of the property
died and wisely provided that his es
tate should not be divided until the
heirs became of age. This tisd the
property up so that nothing could be
done with it until the present time.
Twenty lots on Bolton and Waldburg
streets will be sold at auction, next
Monday afternoon at 4 o’clock. Terms
SIOO cash. SIOO a year, with 6 per cent,
interest’. Interest ceases on any pay
ments made. Unquestionably they are
the best lots that can be bought, sur
rounded by nice homes, the best street
car service, and within 10 minutes walk
of the Exchange. Great big corner 40
by 115 feet. John L. Archer, 10 Provi
