WILL NOT GIVE
UP STOLEN RING
AUGUSTA CHIEF WANTS BOND.
8 A VAN* AH OFFICIALS TRIED TO
RECOVER PROPERTY.
Ring Rrlirvrd to Have Slolfn
from Mrs. Laura J. Boyd Dnrtng
Pair Last Fall Still In Hands of
Augusta Police Chief—Augusta Of
ficials Insist That Mrs. Boyd Must
Oo There. Identify Ring and Give
Indemnity Bond.
Savannah's police chief turned down
fey Augusta's police chief, and Savan
nah’s Mayor turned down by Augusta's
Mayor!
Asa result of this the Savannah of
ficials are not at all pleased when the
names of the Augusta officials are
mentioned.
A ring that Is believed to have been
Btolen in this city—not a political ring,
as might be supposed—has caused the
trouble. For some weeks Mrs. Laura
J. Boyd, formerly of Savannah, but
now a resident of Oxford, has been
attempting to recover from Chief of
Police M. J. Morris of Augusta a ring
that was stolen from her here during
the fair last fall.
So far the efforts of Mrs. Boyd and
the Savannah officials, who have aid
ed her, have been fruitless, the Au
gusta chief insisting that Mrs. Boyd
■will have to go to Augusta to identify
the ring if she wants it.
Advised Ball Trover Action.
Mrs. Boyd was advised by the of
ficials here to secure a lawyer and In
stitute bail trover proceedings for
the recovery of her property. She did
not want to do this and it is not
thought she has followed the advice.
So far as is known in Savannah Mrs.
Boyd has not yet recovered her ring.
Mrs. Boyd's home on Liberty street
■was robbed during the fair, it will be
remembered. One of the crooks who
committed the robbery was caught in
Augusta and detained for a time. He
was afterwards released, but the chief
retained two of the rings found in his
possession. One of these rings is be
lieved to be one of the rings stolen
from Mrs. Boyd.
The man who was arrested with the
ring had boarded for a day or two at
Mrs. Boyd's house during the fair and
had skipped out, when the robbery
was discovered. .She was positive that
the ring was hers and wrote to the
Augusta chief of police.
Turned *nvnnml 4 hief Down.
At the suggestion of Chief Morris she
then took the matter up with the su
perintendent of police of Savannah.
Bupt. Garfunkel wrote to Chief Morris,
asking that the ring be sent to him. He
would he responsible for It, he wrote,
and would not turn It over to Mrs.
Boyd unless she could Identify it posi
tively.
The Augusta chief replied that Mrs
Boyd would have to go to Augusta to
Identify the ring, and would be required
to give an indemnity bond to protect
the Augusta official in case a claimant
turned up in the future.
Mrs. Boyd then took the matter up
with Mayor Myers and he wrote to
Mayor Richard E. Allen, telling him
that Mrs. Boyd was a thoroughly re
sponsible person, the widow of one of
the most respected citizens of Savan
nah. Mayor Myers asked that Mayor
Allen do what he could for Mrs. Boyd,
tlnyor Given game Answer.
But there was nothing doing. Mayor
'Allen replied very courteously. He said
no discourtesy' hart been intended, but
the matter had been before the city
attorney of Augusta and it Wad been
decided that Mrs. Boyd would have to
identify the ring in that city, and then
give the irtemnity bond. If this were
done, the ring would be turned over to
'her. Mayor Allen wrote.
Some of the officials here are wonder
ing what is to become of the ring in
the event Mrs. Boyd does not rare to
follow' out such arbitrary' directions.
No such red tape is used here, when
property Btolen in another city is re
covered in Savannah. It is sent on to
the police chief of the city, if he wishes
it. That which is properly Identified,
is given to the owners and the balance
returned.
Mrs. Boyd Is now in Oxford, and it
is not known what course she will
pursue. Mayor Myers and the superin
tendent of police have done all in their
power to recover the stolen property.
CASE AGAINSTV. A. L
TO FEDERAL COURTS.
Similar Disposition Will He Made ol
That Against A, c. L.
In the City Court y'esterday, Judge
Norwood handed down an order ti'ans
ferring the case of Inman & Cos. against
the Seaboard Air Line to the United
States Circuit Court.
The case was one for damages to
Cotton, the amount asked aggregating
more than 133,000. Such cases can be
transferred to the federal courts when
the plaintiff and defendant are resi
dents of different states.
It is probable that similar action will
be taken with the case against the At
lantic Coast Line, brought by the
same company. A motion to that ef
fect was filed with Clerk Russell and
Judge Norwood appointed May 23 'as
the date for the answer to the suit and
argument on the motion.
BARREL OF SYRUP
FELL FROM WAGON.

A fall from a delivery wagon broke
a barrel of syrup in front of the plhcc

fiftv-flve gallons of syrup was lost.
Small boys and flies had a feast on
the syrup as it slow'ly trickled down
the sldewVUk toward East Broad street.
The boys appeased their appetlties for
sweets by dipping their hands in the
syrup and then licking them. In or

had to be thrown over the rivulet of
syrup.

PLANS FOR COALING
STATION ARE HERE.
Yotc riant Will Handle Only li*
Best of Coni for Steaming.
The plans for the coaling station
of the Savannah Coaling Company,
have been received by Mr. Roy C.
Foster and bids for the construction
of the apparatus needed are now be
ing secured.
Mr. Foster said yesterday that while
he did not care to give out the site
of the station It will have a river
frontage of 2,000 feet, and that the
company will have the facilities for
handling large quantities of coal, both
for coaling ships at this port, and for
shipment in cargo lots to other points.
The present plan is to handle only
the best of steaming coals, those of
the Pocahontas and New River mines,
thought it is believed that the im
petus that will be given the market
by the new enterprise will result In
a large shipment to this port of the
Tennessee coals, and some of that
W'hich is mined in the vicinity of
Birmingham.
The plans of the plant that It Is
purposed to place at Savannah con
template an outfit that will enable
even the largest of vessels that visit
this city to coal in a few hours. This
will be made possible by the building
of a steel tower, some seventy-seven
feet high, from which will be operat
ed a large bucket that will hold a ton
of coal at a time, and which will con
vey It, by means of a track, direct from
the bins to the chute connecting with
the hold of the shin.
The supplies of coal for the station
will be brought from Norfolk by sail
and it is believed that they can be
sold here at a figure that will shut
Pennsylvania coals from competition.
CONVICTS FELLED~
GUARD AND ESCAPED.
George Sapp Assaulted by Two
Cbnlnßaiiß Negroes Yesterday.
By felling Convict Guard George
Sapp two ehaingang negroes. Preston
Daniels and Arthur Williams, too long
term ehaingang convicts, escaped from
custody about 1 o’clock yesterday aft
ernoon. Though pursuit was at once
started at a late hour last night the
men had not been re-cactured.
The two convicts in custody of Guard
Sapp were slightly separated from the
rest of the gang, when the assault
was made. Daniels, who is an old
ehaingang bird and thoroughly famil
iar with the habits of the guards,
watched his chance and struck the
guard over the head, felling him in
stantly. The guard’s gun was then
taken and both negroes escaped In the
underbrush.
At the time the affair created con
siderable excitement among the other
members of the gang, but the other
guards kept them well in hand. With
out loss of time pursuit was institut
ed. Sapp was brought to the city
and given medical attention and It
was given out that he is not badly
injured.
Daniels was doing a three-year sen
tence. He had served about a year
of his time and is recognized as a
desperate negro. Williams has but
one leg. but in spite of this handicap
he gets about easily, aided by a wood
ed leg. He. too, is looked upon as
a dangerous man.
GR EEKWASRELEASED”
AT HEARING YESTERDAY.
No Evidence to Show That Michael
Csaros Got Syrian's Money.
Michael Csaros, the Greek charged
with the larceny of a large amount
of money from Wado Alcorl, a Syrian,
was released by Recorder Myrlck yes
terday, as there was no evidence to
show that Csaros had taken the
money.
It was stolen from the Syrian as the
two were coming from Savannah on a
steamer. He was asleep when the
money was taken and there were fif
teen persons in all traveling steerage,
so there was no way to tell who got
the money.
Alcori lost SIOO in United States
money and a small amount of Syrian
money. When Csaros was arrested
only SSB was found on him and no Sy
rian money at all. He was obliged to
have had that much money when he
landed in New York only a day or go
before he sailed for Savannah, one of
the Savannah Greeks, who interested
himself in his case, said, or else he
would not have been allowed to land.

HIDING DISEASE.
Moae Crlttendon W Convicted in
City tonrt Yesterday.
In the City. Court yesterday Mose
Crittendon, colored, was found guilty
of concealing a case of disease and
was sentenced by Judge Norwood to
pay a fine of SIOO, or serve twelve
months on the ehaingang.
The heavy fine was Imposed in ac
cordance with Judge Norwood’s policy
of dealing heavily with all convicted
of violating the health regulations of
the city, especially as regards conta
gious diseases.
Crlttendon was the negro who had
been once confined in the pest house
for treatment. During his stay there
he had made his escape and was re
ported to the authorities as terrorizing
the residents of White Bluff. The ne
gro was arrested and bound over to
the City Court for trial. There was
little that could be said in his defense,
and Judge Norwood sentenced him as
given above.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. MAY 3. 1904.
TO SAVE COSTLY
WORKS OF ART
NOW IN TELFAIR ACADEMY
GEORGIA HISTORICAL SOCIETY
WANTS STATE STREET PAVED.
Petition Addressed to City Connell.
Dust from Street Is Working Ir
reparable Harm to Many of the
Costly Work* of Art—Petition Also
Addreaaed to County Commission
er* Asking That Old Names Be Re
stored to Roadways.
At the quarterly meeting of the
Georgia Historical Society last night,
a resolution, asking City Council to
pave State street, was unanimously
passed.
A resolution requesting the County
Commissioners to officially restore the
names of the old roadways about Sa
vannah was also unanimously adopt
ed.
Besides these items, little of interest
to the general public was transacted.
The resolution to pave State street,
between Barnard and Jefferson, was
brought before the society from the
board of curators, where the matter
had previously been discussed. Atten
tion had been called to the fact that
the dust from State street was enter
ing the Telfair Academy of Arts and
Sciences, and was gradually working
incalculable harm to the works of art
stored there.
Prompt Action Is I'rged.
The necessity of taking prompt ac
tion was strongly urged by the board
of curators, and they had recommend
ed that the society act upon it at once.
Every effort has been made to keep
the dust from the paintings, but in
spite of all that can be done, the dust
is slowly but steadily working irre
parable harm to the paintings.
A petition to the Mayor and Aider
men had been prepared by Mr. J. R.
Saussy, in accordance with the instruc
tions of the board of curators. This
petition will be signed at once by the
president and secretary of the society
and forwarded to Council. The reso
lution which accompanies the petition
strongly urges that prompt action be
taken and the street paved, in order
that the many almost priceless works
of art stored there may not be ruined.
The petition comes from the Historical
Society as the trustees of Telfair
Academy.
Wish Old Na.me Restored.
Another matter which was referred to
the society by the hoard of curators
was that of petitioning the County
Commissioners to restore the old names
to the roadways about Savannah. This
resolution was also unanimously adopt
ed by the society, and will be forward
ed to the commissioners to-day.
The resolution calls attention to the
historic value of the names as they
were originally known, and to the
beauty of them. Though recognizing
the valua of the services rendered the
county by the present commissioners,
the society believes that there will be
a sufficient number of new streets
opened to be named after the mem
bers of the board, without changing
tile olfl names.
Attention is also called to the fact
that the old names served all purposes,
and that they are of distinct value in
determining boundary lines of the great
majority of properties fronting on
them. The commissioners are strongly
urged to restore the old names, mainly
for the historic interest that surrounds
them.
Other Business of Society.
Those present at the meeting of the
society were President George A. Mer
cer, Dr. H. S. Colding, Mr. Otis Ash
more, Mr. William Harden, Mr. T. P.
Ravenel, Mr. B. H. Levy, Dr. R. J.
Nunn, Mr. W. W. Mackall, Mr. J. R.
Saussy, Mr. J. F. Minis, Capt. H. C.
Cunningham and Mr. C. F. Fulton.
On motion of Dr. Colding Mr. George
Foster Peabody of New York, and Maj.
J. F. Hanson of Macon were elected
members of the society. The ballot
was cast by the secretary.
A communication was read from Dr.
S. Millington Miller of New York ask
ing to exchange a hand-painted ivory
miniature of Gen. James Jackson for
a copy of the history written by Col.
Benjamin Hawkins. On motion of Mr.
Mackall the secretary was Instructed
to Inform Dr. Miller that the exchange
could not be made.
The report of the treasurer showed
that the society was In good condition
financially. The membership is now
eighty-one, of whom sixty-one are ac
tive, four honorary and sixteen corre
sponding.
Mr. Ashmore reported that the Hab
ersham letters were ready for publi
cation as soon as certain editing could
be arranged for. A communication
from Mr. Owens of Alabama stated
that he would be glad to aid In the
publication of Col. Hawkins’ "His
tory.”
A resolution was adopted authoriz
ing the borrowing of SSOO for the pur
pose of repairs to Telfair Academy.

LOTS ARE TOO’SMALL
IN SOUTHERN SECTION.
Col. Mercer Wishes Attention l’nld to
llennty of Savannah.
At the close of the meeting of the
Georgia Historical Society last night
President George A. Mercer called the
attention of the society to the need
of taking an interest in the beauty
of Savannah. In speaking of the mat
ter Col. Mercer called attention to the
small frontage of the lots in the south
ern section of the city.
"Every afternoon that I ride around
the belt,” he said, "I notice the small
lots, a positive disgrace to the city.
There is positively no excuse for such
a state of affairs, as there is plenty
of land there. I am given to under
stand that the lots are so small that
it is impossible to build a real home
upon any one of them.
"It is only the greed of the land
speculators which makes this state of
affairs possible. The land in that sec
tion is good for nothing except to
build on and the appearance of the
city is being absolutely spoiled by the
crowding together of a number of lit
tle houses. Yet those who buy the
lots have no choice in the matter, but
must content themselves with what
the land speculators sell them.”
Col. Mercer also argued for the
maintenance of a building line instead
of allowing houses to be built just
where the builders saw fit. He also
stated that it would greatly improve
the appearance of the city and lower
the expenses if the blocks were length
ened and many of the practically use
less short streets closed up.
REPORtTd AGREEMENT
ON LANDS AT TYBEE.
Wanted for Improvements to Be
Made at Fort Screven.
According to a report from a
thoroughly reliable source, an agree
ment has practically been reached be
tween the owners of land adjoining
Fort Screven ,and the government au
thorities. The land was wanted by the
government for use in making im
provements to the fort, but until re
cently no agreement had been reached
as to terms.
The dicker for the land beg"an more
than a year ago, and persistent at
tempts to reach an agreement have
been made at intervals ever since. In
despair of ever reaching terms in any
other way, steps were about to be
taken by the United States authori
ties looking to a condemnation of the
lands.
Recently another attempt was made
to come to terms, and it is stated that
this time success has been attained.
Just what the terms were has not been
made public. ‘ It is expected that a
deed to the property will be filed with
the clerk of the Superior Court within
a week or ten days.

KISS FROM BRIDE
CAUSED A FIGHT
IN PRESENCE OF JUSTICE
JEALOI'S RIVAL FROM THE FORT
BECAME BELLIGERENT.
In Order to Qnash Breach of Prom
ise Action George McClellan Had
Consented to Wed Mamie Smith.
Woman Produced License and Ten
Dollars for Magistrate and Knot
Wn* Tied—Mari Bowen Was Green
With Envy.
Following a compulsory marriage,
for which the bride produced the fee
of $lO, there was a vicious fight in the
office of Magistrate Isaac Nathans
yesterday.
During the disturbance, that was
pulled off immediately after the cere
mony had been performed, the groom
made his escape and was said to have
taken the girl that he wanted to
marry under his wing.
As might be supposed the parties to
the melodrama are Africans.
And a kiss was the torch that ignited
the explosives and caused the justice
to duck behind his desk until the
smoke of battle had lifted. The
magistrate is on intimate terms with
strenuosity, but the performance, he
was ready to admit, was just one too
many for him.
Constable as Best Man.
George McClellan, aged 22 years, Ma
mie Smith, aged 24 years, and Mary
Bowen, age not recorded, played the
leads. There was a large chorus of
damsels from Yamacraw and from the
Fort, and when Justice Nathans rang
the curtain up there was only one
character missing. A best man had
been overlooked and the dusky con
stable who holds forth in "Nathan’3
Temple of Justice,” was pressed into
service.
By way of prelude it was shown that
on complaint of Mamie, George had
been pinched for breach of promise.
Rather than have any argument he
expressod a willingness to keep any
promises that he may or may not have
made. This was all right to Marne, and
she advised with the J. P. Always
ready to do the right thing he con
sented, but there was a natural pro
viso. He would have to tie the knot
and there must be ten bright dollars
as an incentive.
Mamie Paid the Fee.
Mamie declared that George was
worth that much and the date was
arranged. She not only secured the
necessary license from Judge McAlpin,
but she produced the ten without
flinching. Whereupon Justice Nathans
announced his regrets at not having
charged fifteen for the work. In both
sides of Darktown it became gener
ally known that Mamie and George
were going to be made one, and a
large crowd assembled inside and out
side the magistrate’s court.
Jealous Rival Was There.
Mary Bowen was among those pres
ent. And she wasn't at all happy,
either. She declared that George was
to become her property and that she
wanted to formally protest against the
performance that was about to take
place. But Justice Nathans couldn't
see it -that way. He had received $lO
frpirt Mamie, and that spelled every
thing with him. Mary was advised
to find another George, but decided
to hang around with the other also
rans.
There was no hitch in pronouncing
the fatal words and the trouble did
not occur until Justice Nathans an
nounced that George and Mamie would
have to kiss. George caught Mary s
eye and he was a little timorous. Be
lieving that his actions were due to
bashfulness Mamie thought she would
help matters along and promptly threw
her arms around George's neqk, and
administered a smack that was heard
in the City Market.
How the Fight Regan.
Then Mary sprang. She landed on
the right spot and Mamie struck the
floor with considerable force. The
J. P. ordered the court room cleared
and announced that he would be ready
to issue warrants of every variety in
the morning. In the meantime George
had taken advantage of the row', and
done a rapid transit act. There were
several dusky damsels close upon
his heels, but with the assistance of a
uniformed man he escaped through the
City Market.
In some manner Mary reached the
other side before he did and was ready
to do the rescue act. She had a cab
in readiness, and with George tucked
under her left arm, and her right
ready for trouble, she stepped Into the
cab with him. The driver was told to
hurry eastward and with Mamie look
ing on, the groom and nls real love
went in the direction of The Fort.
Mamie announced that she would con
sult counsel and Justice Nathans ex
pects to do a land office business with
warrants to-day.

MARRIED WHILE TAKING
EXCURSION TRIP.
Y'onng Savannah Couple Wedded
While in Charleston.
For at least two young people the
beginning of the Charleston excursion
season Sunday was a momentous oc
casion and will be remembered all of
their lives.
The parties are Mr. William Ber
rian Burroughs, Jr., and Miss Ida May
Hartfelder. Or rather that is who
they were when they left Savannah
on the excursion. They returned here
as Mr. and Mrs. William B. Burroughs,
Jr.
Both of the young people reside In
Savannah. They received the hearty
congratulations of their friends yester
day. The marriage had been contem
plated for some months and the two
decided the trip to Charleston would
be a good time for it. They were mar
ried by Rev. Dr. Frazier of the First
Presbyterian Church. They returned
to the city Sunday night with the other
excursionists.
