6 WIND FANNED FIRE PARTLY DESTROYED THE COPPER PLANT OF M’MILLAN BROTHERS. WAS BADLY DAMAGED. BUILDING WRAPPED IN FLAMES AND MICH VALUABLE STOCK IN IT. Origin of Fire Unknown— Flump* Started In Nortliweat Corner ot Building and Rnickly Swept the Whole Plant—A Number of Val uable Toole Among the Artlelee Burned—Several Completed Stills Escaped Damage Through Having Been Stored In Yard—Engine No. 1 From Fire Station No. 4 Became Stalled in Soft Earth of East Gas ton Street nnd Failed to Reaeh Fire. Fire partly destroyed the copper works of McMillan Eros., at an early hour this morning, and for a short while surrounding property was in dan ger. The two-story wooden building on the northeast corner of Liberty and Price streets was badly damaged, and the work shop was completely de stroyed. Because of the character of the stock carried, however, the damage will not be so large. No estimate of the loss could be made immediately after the fire. The fire had been burning some min utes before It was discovered. Some one In the neighborhood fired a re volver and a minute later the alarm was sounded. Fire Marshal George Mouro, who lives just across the street from the copper works, heard the shot fired and ran to the box at the corner. It was then being opened by. a patrolman, and the fire marshal sounded the alarm. Later a second call was sounded for additional apparatus. A strong breeze was blowing, and it was feared that some of the surrounding property might be burned. The fire was discovered about 1:30 o'clock, and an alarm turned in from box 27. on Harris and Price streets. YVhen the firemen reached the scene it was found that the fire was likely to prove more serious than had been an ticipated, and additional apparatus was summoned. The building, which was of wood and very dry, burned like tinder. The fire started in the northwest corner and the flames, fanned by a strong wind from the west, quickly ate their way ulong a low shedlike building extend ing w'ell to the east of the main struc ture. So rapid was the conflagration, that in a very feW minutes after the alarm was turned In. this wing of the building was nothing but a smoking skeleton of rafters and uprights. Meantime the flames had also eaten into the main building, which stands at the corner of Liberty and Price streets, and shortly after thfs part of the structure burst into flames. It was here that was stored the most valua ble part of the stock, a lot of sheet copper, a supply of valuable tools and also the office furniture, books, etc. Fortunately, the books and valuable papers were kept In a safe believed to be Are proof, and so these, it is be lieved, have been untouched. A large number of turpentine stills, completed and ready for shipment, also escaped damage, having been stored in the yard to the east or the buildings. Some of them were scorched, but it is believed that taken as a lot they are pratically undamaged. In its efforts to reach the Are the engine from fire station No. 4 ran into the soft earth on East Gaston street, where an excavation had been made to reach a damaged sewer, and became so badly stalled that it was unable to reach the fire at all.

Mr. Thomas N. Theus died at his home. No. 1010 Drayton street, yester day morning shortly after 4 o’clock. He had been in ill health for years and critically ill since Wednesday. It was realized several days ago that there was no chance of his recovery, and his death caused no surprise, though much sorrow, to a large circle of friends. Mr. Theus left among his papers minute instructions as to his funeral arrangements and these will be carried out according to his wishes. The re mains will be taken this morning at 10 o'clock to Confederate Hall, where they will lie in state under a guard of honor appointed by the Confederate Veterans’ Association until 3:30 o’clock, when the funeral services will be conducted in the hall by Rev. Robb YVhite, rector of Christ Church, assisted by Rev. Charles H. Strong, rector of St. John’s Church. Hymns will be sung by the choir of Christ Church. The pall bearers, who also were se lected by Mr. Theus, will be Messrs. A. W. Harmon, H. S. Dreese, R. F. Baker, Clement Saussy, J. W. Mcln tire and J. Q. Hodges. Mr. Theus had selected also for this office Mr. George Turner and Mr. R. F. Harmon, both of whom have since died, so that thetr places are to be filled by Messrs. Mc- Intlre and Hodges. The interment will be in Bonavem ture Cemetery. It is expected that the Chatham Artillery will furnish an escort from the hall to the cemetery. Mr. Theus will be burled in Confeder ate gray with the Confederate Cross of Honor on his breast. On the mon ument that now commemorates his wife and on which also his death will be recorded will be placed the simple inscription: Thomas N. Theus. A Confederate Soldier. Died Nov. 28, 1903. This inscription, with only the date of his death left blank, was selected by Mr. Theus when he planned the other details of his funeral, on Jan. 7. 1901. He also, In his will, created a trust fund, the interest of which is to be used in the care of the burial lot. Thomas Nicol Theus was the son of Benjamin T. and Martha Nicol Theus and was born in Savannah July 21, 1839. He received a common school education and became connected in 1854 with the oldest jewelry establish ment in the city, the firm of Samuel Wllmot. This connection he continued through all the successions. Anally suc ceeding to the business with his broth er. Simeon Theus, seventeen years ago. Mr. Theus enlisted in the Republican Blues early in IS6I and was with that command for awhile In garrison duty at Fort Pulaski. Upon the expiration of enlistment of twelve months he re-enlisted in the Chatham Artillery and was with this command. then known at YVheaton's Light Battery, at the battle of Olustee, in Florida, and at the defense of Fort Wagner, Charleston harbor, during the darkest days of that heroic defense. He con tinued with his command through the South Carolina campaign ending with Johnston’s surrender. Mr. Theus was of an old and distin guished family. The original ancestor, Jeremiah Theus. was a Huguenot who came from Switzerland to Charleston in 1732. He was a portrait painter of no small renown in the 40’s of the eighteenth century, and many of his works are hanging to-day on “Old Charleston" walls. The family figured in the Revolution, one member being a surgeon, another a major in the Continental Army, and still another holding high civic com mission under President Washington. The printed histories of South Caro lina have frequent mention of their services. Another member of the family went into the church and is reported among the first preachers of the Lutheran Church in this country. Though a man of the softest and ten derest of feeling. Mr. Theus had been an example of devotion to his princi ples and was always firm in his opin ions. He was a gallant soldier and such was his devotion to the memory of the Confederacy that since the war he has worn no clothing that was not of the shade of the Confederate gray. He was never robust and for years had suffered from many physical troubles. The death of his wife about eight years ago, followed three years after by the death of a much-loved niece, who was living with him, caus ed him a mental suffering that but added to his physical troubles. His devotion to these two compan ions he showed In the beautiful memo rials that commemorate them in his lot in Bonaventure Cemetery. The care that he gave the spot where his loved ones rest showed the tenderer traits of his character which, to those who knew him, could readily be found. He leaves of immediate kin only his brother, Mr. Simeon Theus, and the son of that gentleman, Master Charlton Theus. Little Mamie Tussey. Mamie Tussey, aged 18 months, died yesterday morning at her father’s home, No. 416 Montgomery street, after an ill ness of three months. She was the daughter .if Mr. J. A.

Sandersville, Ga.. Nov. 28.—Besides choosing Mcßae as the next place for holding the sessions of the South Geor gia conference, the most important item at the session to-day was the decision to organize a thoroughly equipped hos pital outside of the distinctive church work, to which all denominations would be admitted. The hospital will probably be run in connection with the Wesleyan Institutional Church of At lanta, the South Georgia Conference co operating with the North Georgia Con ference. Rev. C. K. Dowman, D. D., repre senting the North Georgia Conference, appeared before the conference and represented Wesleyan Institutional Church of Atlanta. A committee from thfe conference to ■ co-operate with a board from the North Georgia Conference in building up a great institutional church in the Gate City was ordered appointed. It is proposed to organize outside of the distinctively religious services, a large, thoroughly equipped hospital, open to all who apply for admission. Bishop Key, in an earnest speech, com mended the project, urging the con ference to rally to this great work. Rev. W. C. Lovett, D. L>.. Hon. S. B. Adams, and W. D. Wallace were appointed as the committee. By a unanimous vote the conference decided to co-operate with the North Georgia Conference. Splendid Missionary Iteport. The missionary rally, presided over by Rev. A. M. Williams, D. D., presi dent of the board, has been one of the features of the conference. A universal spirit of rejoicing prevailed among the members as they anticipated the re port of the treasurers of the mission boards. When the splendid results were announced the conference spon taneously broken forth in singing, "Praise God from whom all blessings flow.” The reports of the treasurers show that $10,157.57 has been raised during the year for home missions; foreign missions, $20,291.64; church extension, $4,564; Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, $11,358; Women's Home Mis sionary Society, $4,300. The total raised through these channels is $50,629. Every district in the conference paid the assessments for foreign and do mestic missions in full, but one. The North Macon District paid over $3,000 on the foreign mission collection. The record, according to Dr. Ward, one of the missionary secretaries, leads ev ery conference in the entire church. Both the Savannah and North Macon districts pay every claim in full, both for ministerial support and conference collections. Speakers Before Conference. Rev. Kishi, a Japanese convert, and a graduate of Emory College, was in troduced to the conference, and spoke of the work which will soon call him to Japan. Rev. Harry Bardwell also spoke a few words of parting, as he is to leave for Cuba in a short while. Rev. Seth Ward, of Texas, one of the missionary secretaries, of the church, in a speech of unusual power spoke of the great work being accom plished throughout the church for mis sions. The Third Day's Session. The third day's session of the con ference was opened with devotional ex ercises, conducted by Rev. J. W. Sim mons. The calling of the twentieth question was resumed Are all the preachers shameless in their life and official administration?” The report of the preachers as to the several interests committed to their care gave evidence of a most gratifying condition. Rev. C. E. Boland's case was re ferred to the Committee on Conference Relations for a supenanuated rela tion. Dr. Winton, editor of the Christian Advocate; Dr. Atkins, Sunday-school editor; Dr. Quillian, a member of the North Georgia Conference, and Mr. Dupont Guerry, president of the Wes leyan Female College, were introduced to the conference. Rev. George N. M’aeDonell was an nounced by his father, Rev. G. G. N. MacDonell, as having gone to Mon terey, New Mexico, to temporarily take the place of the minister at this point who has recently died. Being a yel low fever immune, and conversant with the Spanish language, he will be a valuable addition to this important post of duty. Mrs. R. C. Neely of Waynesboro, Ga., representing the Woman’s Home Mis sionary Society, was introduced to the conference and addressed the body on the work of the women in this depart ment. The report of the work accom plished was a matter of the deepest gratification to the entire conference. BMt Conference at Mcßae.

UNITED STATES COURT AT FLORIDA’S CAPITAL No Y'erdict in the Taylor County Smuggling Cases nnd a Transfer to Pensacola Ordered. Tallahassee, Fla.. Nov. 28.—1n the United States Court Will Gordon, a young white man, was convicted of the charge of breaking into and robbing the postotfice at Chancey, Fla., on the night of Oct. I. The evidence against Gordon was of the most circumstantial nature, until he was put on the stand himself. Then, although he denied the charge, his story was so mixed that conviction was almost a foregone con clusion. The case against Smith, former edi tor of the Monticello Constitution, who is accused of using the mails for fraud ulent purposes, was continued until the next term. Sam Brack, the negor counterfeiter arrested in Apalachicola, was found guilty of the charge against him, and received a sentence of two years in the penitentiary. The most important case tried was the celebrated smuggling case against YVilliam McCook of Key West, in which many of the prominent citizens of Tay lor county are implicated. The trial occupied a great part of the time of the court, and was given to the jury late Thursday afternoon. That body was out until Friday evening, when the judge sent for the jury. He asked if there was any possible chance for a verdict being arrived at, to which the foreman replied in the negative. Judge Swayne then declared a mistrial, and excused the jury from further service. The United States attorney then made a motion that the Taylor county smuggling cases be transferred to the United States court at Pensacola. In giving his reasons for desiring a transfer the prosecuting attorney said that the influences were such that it was impossible for the government to secure a verdict in Tallahassee, with a local jury, no matter what the evidence might be. Several attempts had bean made before local juries, and the in terest was so great and outside influ ences so strong that there was no pos sible chance for a verdict. Hon. Jefferson B. Browne, one of the attorneys for the defense, objected to the transfer being made. He said the allegation that it would be impos sible for the government to se cure a verdict, no matter what the evi dence might be, was a serious charge against the honor and integrity of the people of Leon county; that the jury trying the case at this term was com posed of men whose honesty could not be doubted. He ventured the assertion that the judge, in all his career, had never had a better, more intelligent, or more honorable jury to try a case. The fact that the defendants had been tried before three petit juries, and the matter had been thoroughly sifted by four grand juries, showed conclusively that the government had no case. Judge Swayne was of the opinion that under existing conditions it would be no reflection upon the honor and integrity of the people of Leon county to transfer the case to Pensacola, where a verdict of some kind could be secured. He, threreupon, ordered the ease transferred to Pensacola, to be tried in the United States court bn Jan. 14. 1904. CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED ‘Vjfc*. A Beautiful Girl Saved From Dread Consumption.

Atlanta, Nov. 28.—The Supreme Court to-day decided the famous Vine ville case, and now that suburb is, de facto, a part of the city of Macon. Several years ago an act was passed by the Legislature, providing that the people of Vineville might vote on the question of going into Macon. The present Legislature passed, an act in corporating Vineville into the city. Op ponents of the movement claimed the new law did not repeal the old one, that the people still had the right to vote on the question. The Supreme Court sustains the lower court In the decision that the old law is repealed, and that the people cannot vote on the matter. Hon.

Newman, amendments were filed to-day in the intervention suits of A. E. Dixon et al. vs. the At lanta National and Mrs. M. C. Alex ander et al. vs. the Southern Home Building and Loan Associations.

Balnbrldge, Ga., Nov. 28.—Messrs.' A. Cohn & Cos.. the New York syndi cate, which owns the large tobacco plantation about eighteen miles south east of this city, are installing a sugar refinery which will have a capacity of twelve tons per day. This is the first and only plant of Its kind in Geor gia, and if this proves the theory that there is more sugar to the ton of Geor gia cane than to the ton of Louisiana cane. It will have a great effect on this crop in this section of the state, as it will give the farmers a market for their syrup and also for their cane, if they have no desire to mttke it into, syrup. Sugar cane Is fast becoming the sta ple crop of Southwest Georgia. It is cheaper to raise than cotton, does not take as much labor and care, and so far the farmers have been able to dis pose of their syrup at a price that and found that the trouble gradually disappeared and blessed health took its place.

It is the praise of those who have been cured by Peruna that makes this remedy so popular and so extensively used. No advertisement could have accomplished this result. a party to the suit. They also ask that W. A. Wimbush be compelled to appear in court, claiming that the receivership fund held by them, as well as the un converted assets of the associations, be long by right to the stockholders, to whom Wimbush and Robinson are ac countable. No definite date has been set for the renewal of the case, but it probably will be several week yet before it comes up for trial. I.ower Bid* Presented.

The mill which mashes the cane can grind 250 tons a day. The Juice, on coming from the cane, falls into large pans, directly under the mill, and from these pans is conveyed to strainers, and from strainers, is pumped to the boilers, where it becomes syrup.

Peruna cures the first stages of con sumption by removing the cause which is chronic catarrh. Peruna cures the cause in the right way. It cures catarrh of the bron chial tubes, which causes the cough The catarrh having been cured, the cough ceases. This is the only right way to cure a cough. Miss Mabel A.

I came to Colorado hoping to Improve my health, but the results were not what Iliad confidently e\- pected. However, what Colorado ozone could not do for me, Peruna did, and In a couple of months I had used eight bottles and found that nty lungs were stronger than ever, and my health excellent.. I find that Pe runa Improved the mental as well as the physical health, as I am better natured and of a more happy disposi tion. Peruna Is well worthy highest endorsement.”—Miss Mabel Bradford. Miss Florence E. Kenah, 434 Maria St.. Ottawa, Ont., writes: "A few months ago I caught a se vere cold, which settled on my lungs and remained there so persistently that I became alarmed. I took medi cine without benefit, until my digestive organs became upset, and my head and back began to ache severely and frequently. “I was advised to try Peruna. and although I had little faith I felt so sick that I was ready to try anything. It brought me blessed relief at once, and I felt that I had the right medN cine at last. Within three -weeks I was completely restored and have en joyed perfect health since. "I now have the greatest faith in Peruna.” —F. E. Kenah. If you have the slightest symptom of catarrh of the lungs don’t wait. Get a bottle of Peruna. Use It according to directions. It will remove every trace of catar. rlial Irritation from the throat, bron ehial tubes and lungs. Catarrh cannot remain where Peru, na Is used. No one need fear consumption whose mucous membranes are free from catarrhal Inflammation. Give Peruna a trial. It does all we claim as the following letters testify: Catarrh Often Causes Consumption. One-half the ailing women of the United States are suffering from ca tarrh. They are doctoring for almost any other disease without benefit. A few bottles of Peruna would eradicate all catarrhal inflammation from the system. With clean, healthy mucous membranes health inevitably follows. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hart man, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

JURY CALLED THE CRIME VOLUN TARY MANSLAUGHTER. Trial at Jemp Was a Memorable One—Joyner I* Prominently Con nected, and It Was Difficult to Se cure a Competent Jury—Solicitor General Bennett Disqualified Be cause He Was Related to Joyner, Killing Ocenrred at Odnm. Jesup, Ga., Nov. 28.—After being out since 7 o’clock last night, the jury trying H. C. Joyner for the murder of D. V. Cannon last April at Odum, at 10 o'clock this morning returned a verdict, finding the defend'ant guilty of voluntary manslaughter. Immediately after the rendering of the verdict. Judge T. A. Parker Im posed the maximum penalty for this of fense and sentenced the accused ta twenty years at hard labor in the pen itentiary. As will be remembered by the read ers of the News, Cannon was agent of the Southern R'ailway Company at Odum, and was cut to death by Joy ner, who was drunk. Joyner escaped, but was later captured in Florida and brought back for trial. He was con nected with some of the most promi nent families of this section and was widely known. The conviction of Joyner brings to a close one of the most famous trials In the history of this county.
