To-day's Froarnminf.
The league will be called to order at
10 o’clock In the banquet hall of the
D* Boto by Mayor Bridges Smith of
Macon, president of the league. The

ried out with one exception. Mayor
J. F. Rhodes of Athens, who was to
make the response to Mayor Myers’
address of welcome, will not reach the
city in time and Mayor L. H. Chappell

his place. Mayor Rhodes Is detained
by the illness of one of his children. It
is thought he will be here before the

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY.AUGUST 10. 1904.
RISING RIVER
THREATENS RICE
25-FOOT STAGE AT AUGUSTA
CAUSES APPREHENSION AMONG
SAVANNAH RICE PLANTERS.
River nt Augusta Reported at Siand
m* ill nt 9 O'clock I,ant Night.
Weather Observer Says It Will
Not Go Over -7 Fret at That Point.
Hanks Along the River Can Easily
Withstand 20 Feet and Even 20
With Favorable Weather Condi
tions—Conditions Between Here
nnd Augusta—Forces of Men at
Work Strengthening Hunks.
The rising of the river at Augusta
has created some alarm among the
rice planters along the river, and prep
arations are being made to prevent
any overflowing of the rice fields.
The river at Augusta rose rapidly all
of yesterday, and at 9 o'clock last
night stood at 25 feet 3 inches and was
stationary. The observer in the
Weather Bureau at Augusta says that
the river there will not go over 27
feet, if it reaches that figure.
The dispatch in the Morning News
yesterday announcing the rising of the
river and the later special message
sent out by the Weather Bureau has
put the rjee planters on their guard,
and precautions have already been
made for strengthening the banks to
resist high waters.
The rice ds now in just that condi
tion which renders it most likely to
be njured and should the water over
flow the plantations the effect would
be disastrous. Several rice planters re
ported that much of the rice was al
ready shot out and that some of it
was turning down.
Ten Days to Reneli Here,
Under ordinary conditions the crest
of the high water at Augusta should
reach Savannah in nine or ten days,
making the present high stage due
here one week from Friday. The 'banks
now can resist twenty feet easily.
Twenty-five feet is dangerous, and
should this stage be reached, accom
panied by a northeast wind the plan
tations are almost certain to be flood
ed. A northwest wind, 'blowing even
as high as 36 miles an hour, can be
withstood.
The hig'ht of the freshet here will
depend greatly Upon the conditions
which exist between the plantations
here and the high water at Augusta,
If the swamps are dry and the creeks
not filled, the stage at Augusta will
be considerably reduced when the wa
ter reaches Savannah. If the swamps
are full and the cheeks running high,
a higher stage would be reached here.
The season of the year favors the
Savannah planters. Places that were
bare during the winter and early
spring are now- filled with high grasses
and brush. These obstructions will
have a retarding effect on the water,
thus benefiting the planters.
Favorable to Planters.
The perigee tide, which greatly in
creases the higbt of the water, will
have passed before the freshet reaches
Savannah. This is another circum
stance favoring the planters. The
feeling last night among the planters
seemed to be that the waters here
would not go above the banks, espe
cially if the wind is not from the
northeast when the waters reach here.
Orders have been given for a force
of men bo .begin work early this morn
ing packing the banks. This will
greatly strengthen them and will work
against the destroying effects of high
water. Taking everything into consid
eration the feeling seems to be that
with no further rising of the river at
Augusta, and with favorable weather
conditions when the high water
reaches here, no damage will be done.
BOOKER WASHINGTON
FAILED TO APPEAR.
Number of Colored People Gathered
bnt Were Disappointed.
In response to printed advertisements
of a meeting to be held at Anderson
Hall, to be addressed by Booker T.
Washington, a number of colored peo
ple gathered at the place indicated last
night.
Though the crowd waited for some
time, the distinguished speaker failed
to put in an appearance and the crowd
melted away.
It had been announced that there
would be a meeting of colored locomo
tive firemen and that Booker Washing
ton was to address them. The negroes
who had been misled into coming out
roundly abused somebody, they did not
know whom, for having sent out such
an announcement.
Prominent negroes stated that they
knew nothing of any coming of Booker
Washington.
TOTAL INCREASE IN
TAX VALUATION $451,180.
As stated In the Morning News yes
terday. the county tax digest this year
shows a total increase of more than
$400,000. Some of the totals which had
not been added into the grand total
Monday night were footed up yesterday
morning, bringing the grand total up
to $451,180. The showing 1s an admir
able one and reflects the greatest cred
it on the efforts of Receiver of Tax

PRICES OF MEAT
PRACTICALLY SAME.
Somewhat Poorer tirade. However,
la on the Market.
The strike of the meat packers’ em
ployes has as yet had no great effect
on the price of meats in Savannah.
It has resulted, however, in a falling
off in the quality of meats, good meats
being very hard to secure. Mr. John
F. May, secretary of the Butchers' As
sociation, who has just returned from
New York, In speaking about the mat
ter, said:
“I have been here so short a while
that I am not thoroughly familiar with
all the conditions that exist here. Ap
parently, however, prices remain about
stationary, though the quality of the
meat to be had is not as high as that
on sale before the big strike com
menced. These facts appear evident
in the short time that I have had to
look into matters.
“I was in New York when the cut
ters went out on strike, and the re
sult has been that there is a scarcity
of meats In the metropolis. In Savan
nah, however, I do not believe that
the effect of the strike is felt so much
and with the exception of the slight
falling off in quality. I believe there
has been no change.”
Inquiry at the store of Mr. M. S.
Gardner secured the information that
prices were practically the same and
that thus far the local butchers had
been able to secure all the meats
necessary to meet the demand made
upon them.
DISORDERLY CONDUCT
ON RAILROAD TRAIN.
Is Charge Brought Against Young
Preston O'Quinu.
Almost the entire afternoon session
of the Superior Court yesterday was
occupied with the trial of young
Preston O’Qufnn, a white boy living at
Fitzgerald. Young O'Quinn is charged
with disorderly conduct on a Seaboard
Air Line train and with cursing and
using indecent language in the pres
ence of ladies. The state is represent
ed by Solicitor Pm Tern. E. H. Abra
hams and the defense by Col. P. W.
Meldrim. Mr. J, Randolph Anderson
appears for the railroad.
The state called but one witness, and
then rested its case. This witness slat
ed that at a point near Meldrim young
O'Quinn lurched into the car in which
he sat and nearly fell over a woman,
who was holding a baby in her lap.
The woman put out her hands and
shoved the hoy, who it ds alleged to
have been drunk, away from her. Then
it is claimed that O’Quinn began curs
ing and using the indecent language
charged in the indictment.
For the defense Col. Meldrim called
several of the occupants of the same
car in which the disorderly conduct
is alleged to have occurred. All testi
fied that O'Quinn w'as perfectly sober
and that they heard no trouble nor
any indecent language used. A num
iber of character witnesses were also
called.
At 7 o’clock the case had not con
cluded. Col. Meldrim stated that an
important witness would be on hand in
the morning, and the case went over
until to-day. From the character of
the questions asked by the solicitor in
cross-examination, the indications are
that some surprises will be sprang in
rebuttal.
Solicitor Abrahams questioned each
witness as to whether O’Quinn had
paid his expenses here or offered him
any inducements for his testimony.
One witness, when asked if his ex*
penses had beeh J paid, said, after a
moment’s hesitation: “Well, I did not
come here for nothing.’’ A brother of
the defendant then took the stand, and
stated that in working up the case he
had spoken to the witnesses as a mat
ter of course and done all in his power
to bring them here.
Before the case began Col. Meldrim
presented a demurrer to the court, ask
ing that the case be set aside, as in
decent language was no disorderly
conduct, and that language was no
crominal offense. Judge Oann over
ruled the demurrer.
HEARSAY EVIDiNCE
IS NOT SUFFICIENT.
To Indict Thunderbolt Management,
Says Grand Jnror.
"Hearsay evidence 1s not sufficient
grounds for returning an indictment,”
said a member of the grand jury yes
terday in discussing the refusal of
the Superior Court grand jury to in
dict the Thunderbolt management.
“The only evidence that the ministers
brought before us was purely hearsay.
They did not present one single fact
of the alleged violations that they
knew of their own knowledge. There
fore. we did not indict.”
When asked if any questions had
been asked the grand juror whom
Rev. A. M. Williams had said could
shed some light upon the subject, the
juror replied: “Matters of that kind
are secrets of the grand jury room,
and I cannot discuss them.”
The ministers, as stated in the Morn
ing News yesterday, will make an
other attempt to. secure an indictment
before the next grand jury. Evi
dence will be collected by outside par
ties, and they will go before the grand
jurors and present it. Care will be
taken to avoid failure again on grounds
of hearsay evidence.
YOUNG PLEADED GUILTY
TO MURDEROUS ASSAULT.
.Indite Cnna Sentenced Him to Five
Years n Hard l.nbnr.
Percy Young pleaded guilty yester
day to assault with intent to murder,
on Kollock Helmy, a deputy sheriff of
one of the adjoining counties. As told
in the Morning News at the time of
the assault. Young attacked Helmy
near Lincoln Park, shooting and dan
gerously wounding him.
When the plea of guilty was entered
Judge Cann reprimanded the man for
carrying a deadly weapon constantly
about with him and called attention to
the fact that the majority of these
shootings are the result of hot-heads
carrying weapons. He then sentenced
Young to serve five years at hard la.-
bor in the penltenitary.

ATTACKED BY
VICIOUS FELINE
MAN AND CHILD THE VICTIMS.
THREE MEN REQUIRED TO MAKE
CAT RELEASE ITS HOLD.
v
Family of Three Attaeked While
Waiting for n Car—Child Bitten
First and When the Father At
tempted to Drive It Off the Ani
mal Buried Its Teeth in Hta An
kle—Ax Handle Finally Secured
and the Cat Beaten to Death—ln-
Jnred Had Wo a rids Cauterized .
With demonical fury a black cat
attacked a man and a little child at
Charlton and East Broad streets late
Monday night, and it required the as
sistance of three men armed with clubs
to release the man writhing in pain
from the tearing of flesh by the mad
feline.
In ,the excitement of the moment,
and in the haste of the relief party to
render all assistance possible, the
names of the man and child were not
learned.
After the cat had been killed the
man and child were assisted to Ash
ton’s drug store, at Liberty and Price
streets, where the wounds were cau
terized. Standing on the opposite cor
ner of the street crossing at about
10:30 Monday night was Col. ”j" H.
Deveaux and two other colored men,
the party being on their way home
from a drill.
Woman Cried for Help.
Suddenly they were startled by the
cries of a woman and looking across the
street, saw a woman carrying towards
them, a child in her arms and crying;
“O, please help my husband. A cat’s
biting him. Its bit my child, too. Oh,
help! help!”
For a moment the men did not grasp
the trouble, for they did not see any
thing more exciting than a man sitting
down on the curb. Hastening across
the street, it was found that a large
black cat had buried its teeth in the
man’s ankle, just above his heel, and
that the man was holding the cat as
if to prevent it from tearing away the
flesh.
The only weapon was an umbrella,
in the hands of Col. Deveaux, who
brought the point down on the cat's
neck and pinioned it to the ground.
Still the cat hung on like grim death,
and the man continued to call for help.
Beaten With Ax Handle.
One of the men ran across the street
and secured an ax handle. Armed with
this, the cat was beaten and only when
dead was its hold released.
Freed from the teeth of the cat the
man appeared badiy bewildered and
frightened as well. He was half-car
rted to the drug store, where the wom
an had already taken the child. The
clerk cauterized the wound without
'charge, though the relief party of
fered to pay the bill. It was found
that the flesh of the man's ankle was
badly lacerated. The injury to the
child was less severe.
From the statement of the woman,
she and her husband and child were
waiting for a oar when the oat sprang
fiercely at the child. The father sought
to defend the child and was in turn
attacked, the cat catching him in the
flesh just below the heel. So fierce
was the onslaught that the man ws(s
unable to think of anything else ex
cept to hold the feline. He was un
able to make the animal release its
hold.
ANOTHER ARREST MADE
FOR STATESBORO MURDERS.
Will Rainey, YVho YVns Implicated
by Paul Reed. Landed in Jail.
Will Rainey, the negro implicated by
Paul Reed, in his statement to Sher
iff Kendricks last Saturday, which' was
given in the Morning News SundayJ
has been arrested by Sheriff Kendricks
and, is now held in the Statesboro
jail in connection with the murder of
the Hodges family. That some negro
besides Reed and Cato were present
when the family was killed is prac
tically certain, but there is no evi
dence except Reed's statement to im
plicate Rainey.
Several times before Reed has im
plicated other negroes and it has since
been shown that they were not there.
The officers are doubtful as to whether
Reed is now telling the truth or not.
He still denies that he killed Mr.
Hodges or any of the family, but says
he was present and saw Cato and
Rainey kill them. Cato denies even
being there, but says Reed told him
that he had killed Mr. Hodges and
his wife.

SEVERELY SCORED
NEGRO CRIMINAL.
Protection from Such Men Only Ei
cme for Carrying a Pistol.
Joe Simmons yesterday pleaded guilty
in the Superior Court for assault with
intent to murder, committed on Lizzie
Williams. The negro was drunk and
had shot at and wounded the woman.
Judge Cann sentenced him to four
years in the penitentiary. In impos
ing sentence Judge Cann said:
“For purposes of protection from
men of your class is the only possible
excuse for a good citizen carrying a
pistol. The community will not suffer
by reason of your absence, and despite
your plea of guilty, I am going to put
you in the penitentiary. I will regard
your plea as lightly as possible, under
a charge of shooting with intent to kill.
The sentence of the court is that you
be confined in the penitentiary for four
years at hard labor.
"Frequently, I have advised men of
your type and class to let pistols alone.
There is no excuse for carrying them,
and you and your kind seem to have
an idea that the law will hold you
guiltless if you shoot at anybody or
everybody whenever you feel ag
grieved.”
TWO PLEAS OF GUILTY
IN SUPERIOR COURT.
Cooker Wlllin in* and Ctiurlez Jack
son Admit Guilt.
Two of the criminal cases which
were docketed for trial in the Super
ior Court this week have been dis
posed of by the defendants entering
pleas of guilty and throwing them
selves upon the mercy of the court.
One plead guilty to forgery and the
other to burglary.
Ed. alias “Cooker” Williams plead
guilty to being concerned in the mak
ing and attempted passing of a forged
check for $4 on the Liberty street
branch of the Citizens Bank. Judge
Cann sentenced him to pay a fine of
SSO or in lieu therof to serve for nine
months on the ohaingang.
Charles Jackson pleaded guilty to
burglary. The prisoner admitted that
he had forcibly entered the store of
Robert Holzendorf, and committed
larceny therefrom. Judge Cann lec
tured him severely and then imposed
a sentence of three years at hard la
bor in the state penitentiary.
