20 DAMOND QUEEN IS IN SAVANNAH RELEASED FROM PRISON. LETT MrLI.KDGEVIL.LEI FARM IN MORNING FOR HOMES. Ilya She Is Thankful for Liberty and Feels Very Appreciative to All Who Aided Her in Getting Pardon. Wonts to Breathe Fare Air ot Freedom Before Deriding on Oe on pat ion—lone of Her Relatives Met Her at Train. Without friend or relative to meet her. Mamie DeCris. The Diamond Queen, who v'as pardoned from the ■tate farm at MiHedgeville, two days before her sentence expired, arrived in Savannah over the Central last night at 7:10 o'clock. There was nothing about the modest ly attired -woman who stepped from the train to In any way suggest the Dia mond Queen, whose escapades were heralded from one end of the country to the other. One would never have supposed that the neat traveling suit worn had only the same morning taken the place of the prison stripes. And there was something in the modest bearing of the woman herself, which would or dinarily Have precluded the thought of diamond thieves, convict garbs or the lash of the prison boss. Thankful for Liberty. "Yes, I am glad to be out again and glad to get back to Savannah,” said the Diamond Queen. "I appreciate very much the efforts that were made to get me a pardon. I feel thankful to the Prison Commissioners and the Governor and to every one who had anything to do with getting me out.” She looked worn and tired, which fact may have been due to her trip on the train. She .complained of the trip and said traveling always fatigued her. For the last several months she says she has had a very easy time at the farm and has nothing but praise for the present warden and his family. Left Prison Life Behind. When asked about the whipping which Warden Allgood administered to her, she refused to talk on the sub ject. Indeed, she declined to talk about any phase of her prison life, ex cept to say she appreciated the kind ness, which had been shown her. "When I left the farm at Milledge vllie this morning.” she said, ”1 left my prison life behind, and I don’t care to discuss it. It is better that it be passed over as quietly as possible. It is ended now and I wish to forget It. I have obtained enough notoriety end 1 think the least said about my prison life the better.” At the train there were not more than half a dozen persons who recog nized Miss DeCris. She had expected some of her relatives, and seemed dis appointed that none of them appeared. She first started out of the side en trance of the station, but thought per haps someone was waiting at the front to meet her and went that way. She stopped in the ladies’ waiting room e few minutes, while a satchel which she had checked was being obtained. She then took a cab and drove to Hab ersham and Liberty streets, where she took a trolley ear for Thunderbolt, yrhere her family resides. "Oh, it I Mmie!” Reaching the humble cottage at Thunderbolt, not a light shone In tlie home that had once been her's. For a time she was afraid the family had moved away and she was visibly af fected. Knocking on the door, there was a response apparently from the rear of the house. "It’s Mamie," shouted the woman. “Oh. it’s Mamie!” chorused the brothers and sisters of the returning woman. Within a few minutes the door was opened and one after another of the family, sister, brother and mother, were embracing her. The failure to appear at the train had not been caused by any loss of affection for the prodigal daughter. Pure Air of Freedom. The woman said she had not decided on her future occupation. She wanted to think the matter over carefully be fore arriving at any decision, she said. Whatever she decided to do, however, she said she intended to go at in such a way as to retain the confidence and friendship of those who had aided her while she was in prison. “I wish to breathe the pure air of freedom for a while before making up my mind,” she said. “I have thought of a great many things, but have come to no conclusion. Since I have been at the farm I have met a great many prominent people from all over the state, who have befriended me, and whatever I do I must keep their good will and respect.” Stage Newspaper Talk. “That was simply newspaper talk.” ■he said when asked about the re port that she was going on the stage. ’'As I tell you, I have not decided what I am going to do, and 1 won't until I have had a chance to think quietly by myself. “I want to do something that will ■how those who have been kind to me that Xam leading anew life. As soon as I decide on what it is. I want •verybody In Georgia to kn-ow it. I must never again cause myself to bow my head in shame. I have had too many good friends. I only want to take up some useful occupation and quietly pursue It.” Write a Bonk. When asked if she were likely to write an account of her life at the prison farm, she said she had been ad vised to do so by several lawyers, but bad not made up her mind. No plans for the future will be formed for several days. She desires to rest at home and get a taste of freedom before even thinking of going at work at anything. She will probably remain in Savannah for some time. She expressed her pleasure at being able to return here and Intimated that ahe Intended to make this her home. She had a very quiet trip. No one on the train knew who she was after ahe transferred to the regular Atlanta trnin at Gordon. She stopped for din ner with the other passengers at the regular "dinner house.” Even when she left Mllledgevllle there were only a few persons present who knew her. Uulet Trip Home. She was driven to the station by one of the attendants at the farm and was Joined there later bv Supt. Coombes and Capt. Williams. She purchased her ticket herself, having been furnished -with the money by the prison authori ties. On the train she was not recog nised. As eoon as she reached the station here there wore several persons who knew her, but most of them were olll * • and said nothing about seeing her. She recognised several of the Savan nah people In the crowd and asked after leaving the stetlon If she was correct. One if the parlies whom she remembered she had never seen but onue before m her ill*. , GEN. BARRY REFUSED TO VISIT HUSSARS. Kept Himself Secluded From Geor gia Slate Troops. Gen. Thomas H. Barry, who spent an hour or two In the city on Friday night, postively declined an invitation to visit the Hussars Club. He also de clined to go to the rooms of the Sa vannah Volunteer Guards or to the First Regiment Armory. The invitation was extended to him by some of the regular army officers who were in the city with him, and to whom the courtesy of the use of the club rooms for themselves and their friends have been extended by the Hussars. Several of these officers wished to show him through the club rooms and through the two armories, but the officer declined to go. As far as could be learned the only reason offered was he did not think such a course would be proper. Regular army officers who wore seen yesterday and asked about the mat ter declined to discuss the officer's ac tion, answering all questions with a laugh. It is generally understood, however, and this opinion was openly expressed by those who are not bound down by the strict rules of the regu lars, that the declination was due to the recent criticism, for which it is generally conceded there was no just cause, that Gen. Barry offered on the Georgia troops at Manassas. It is generally regretted by military men here that an officer of such high position should carry petty spite to such extremes. During his visit it was almost impossible for any but the reg ular army officers to get near Gen. Barry, or to engage him in conversa tion. The impression made was anything but a pleasant one in Savannah and the general apparently failed to en gender in the citizens and state sol diery that same degree of respect and esteem which they feel for the other regular army officers who are station ed here and at Fort Screven and for those who have visited the post at Fort Screven from time to time. COUNTRY JUSTICES HAVE JUST COMPLAINT. Former Jnstiee of Peace Tells ot Fees Received. The announcement that the country Justices of the peace had petitioned the grand jury to Increase their fees was read with interest in Savannah yesterday. Those who are well’acquainted with the laws regulating their fees, seem to think they have good grounds for complaint, and expressed the hope that their fees would be made equal to those in the city. By the act of 1874 the fees of the city justices are made the same as those of the officers of the Superior Court, who serve similar papers. This ap plies also to the constables of the jus tices. The country justices and their constables receive the fees designated in the code. There is a slight differ ence in nearly every case, and the ag gregate makes an appreciable sum. As the work is the same in both cases, harder if anything for the country Justices, there is a feeling that they should at least receive equal pay. RECEIVER IS NAMED FOR EMPIRE COMPANY. Judge Speer Appoints Mr. George S. Haines as Receiver. By an order of Judge Emory Speer, Mr. George S. Haines has been ap pointed receiver for the Empire Dredg ing Company, of West Virginia. The trouble arose over $4,500 in cash, now in the hands of the P. Sanford Ross company. Suits and counter suits and interpleaders had been filed in the City Court and In the Superior Court, and the ease was becoming con siderably Involved. Recently Attor neys W. B. Stubbs, and Wilson & Rogers, on behalf of W. W. Aimar & Cos., appealed to Judge Speer for the appointment of a receiver. The appointment was asked on the grounds that the case first came be fore the United States courts, that that court had full jurisdiction, that all the moneys and properties of the company had not been taken charge of, and that such action would do away with a multiplicity of suits. The court granted the petition and restrains the Ross company from paying out any of the $4,500 to anyone, but Receiver Halnes. LAVINIA SEIGLING WILL APPEAL CASE. H. A. Macbeth, on behalf of Lavinia Seigling, yesterday filed an appeal In the Court of Ordinary from the decis ion of Judge McAlpin, in granting the homestead application of Ruth V. Lo gan. With the appeal was filed a pauper affidavit. The case is of interest ow ing to the fact that Lavinia Seigling is the woman who was so severely lec tured by Judge McAlpin for writing a letter attempting to enlist his sym pathies on her side of the case. An account of the hearing was given at the time in the Morning News. Copied Iy Man;, Equaled by None. Beware of Moehroom Concern*.

BRYAN PARDONED AND RELEASED SERVED 46 DAYS SENTENCE. RELEASED ON TELEGRAM FROM SECRETARY GOODLOE YANCY. Pardon Was Unexpected, As It Wn Understood Board Had Turned It Do vn—llelleved That Charles Odell Will Return and Scrk n Par don Also—Bryan Was Glad to Leave Prison. After forty-six days' confinement in the county jail, Gad D. Bryan. Jr., was pardoned yesterday by the Gov ernor on recommendation of the Par don Board, and at 9 o'clock last night he walked from the Jail portals a free man. To no one was the surprise greater than to Bryan himself, as he had al most given up hope of getting out un der the three months which he was sentenced to serve. His first words on being told that the Governor had sign ed his pardon were: "Thank God! I am certainly grateful to all who have assisted me, and to those who have taken any Interest In me.” Bryan commenced serving his three months’ Jail sentence on Oct. 4. and since that time numerous appeals have been marie to the Pardon Board in his behalf. His attorneys, Col. Robert L. Colding, D. C. Barrow. Esq., and E. H. Abrahams, made visits to Atlanta and appeared before the board with peti tions signed by a large number of Sa vannah citizens, but it was thought the opposition to a pardon would de feat the efforts of the petitioners. Next to his being deprived of his liberty, his greatest punishment was the deprivation of any liquid refresh ments of an intoxicating nature. Bry an had daily callers, who kept him posted of ail occurrences not chronicled in the nervpapers, and he was furnish ed with all the latest literature. He spent most of his time reading. Wanted Freedom at Once. As soon as it was known here that the Governor had signed his pardon Bryan at once went to work to have it take effect immediately. Telegrams were sent to Atlanta and shortly aft er 8 o’clock the following message was received: "Sheriff Chatham County: Have mailed order pardoning Gad Bryan. Safe to release him immediately. Hope you will do so. (Signed) “Goodloe Yancy, Secretary.” On this telegram from the secretary of the Prtrdon Board, Sheriff Schwarz gave orders that Bryan be released. Just before the doors were unlocked a long distance telephone message was received from Gen. Clement A. Evans, president of the Pardon Board, stat ing that the pardon had been forward ed and that it was perfectly safe to release Bryan. Held a Reception. As soon as he had been notified to get ready to leave Bryan said he didn’t have any getting ready to do, but would wait until later to get his be longings. He went at once to his place of busi ness on Brvan street, where he was soon surrounded by his friends, and an informal reception was held, at which he thanked all of his friends for their kindnesses to him during his confinement. Since the pardon board has estab lished a precedent by recommending the pardoning of Bryan it is believed Charles O’Dell, who is also under sen tence, but who is at present out of the state, will surrender himself and seek to have a pardon granted as in the case of Bryan. Odell May Rrtnrn. It was rumored some time ago that O’Dell had written friends here that he intended returning and serving his sentence, but when it was announced that a pardon had been refused to Bryan, O’Dell did not put in an ap pearance. Bryan's indictment and sentence grew out of the shooting at Bryan’s place of business in July a year ago, in which James Doss was shot in the hand, Nat Evans was shot in the left chest and Bryan was shot twice in the hip. BLEACHER PERMIT WILL BE SECURED MONDAY. A meeting between Manager Mcln tire of the Savannah Athletic Associa tion and Building Inspector Bartlett will be held at the Bolton Street Park Monday morning, at which time the inspector will order whatever changes he thinks necessary in the construction of the bleachers for the football games. It is probable that the stands will be moved closer to the side lines, so that those seated in them can have an un interrupted view of every play. POSTPONEMENTGRANTED GOVERNMENT ATTORNEY. The testimony of the plaintiff in the case of A. H. Heyward against the United States was concluded before Special Commissioner George C. Hey ward yesterday. On request the gov ernment was granted a postponement until the latter part of the month, to allow the special attorney who has charge of its Interests to get up some needed testimony. KILLED EIGHT DKI'.H. A hunting party of six returned from Ossabaw Island with eight deer yesterday after two days of as fine sport as could have been wished for. Those in the party were Police Ser geant Baughn and his son, Joseph Baughn, E. K. Demmond, Kaiford Falligant, and Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Bostick. Mrs. Bostick killed one of the deer. Sergt. Baughn killed two, Mr. Bostick two. Mr. Falligant two, and Mr. Demmond one. Wedding and ChrlutmM Presents.

Because of a dispute over a lemon pie there was a serious cutting and shooting affray on Bryan street, west, at a late hour last night, and two men are seriously wounded, one stab bed in the back and the other shot In the thigh. Venis Bryant, a negro, cut Nick Pa nos, a Greek, in the back and Peter Gesson, a cousin of the Greek, shot the negro In the thigh with a load of bird shot. The shot was at close range, and the negro's thigh is badly torn. Panos was cut about two inches deep, but will recover. Bryant, the negro, went into the store, at No. 602 Bryan street, west, and asked for a lemon pie. Panos waited on him and gave him a pie that the negro contended was not lemon. There was a dispute, and the negro, after cursing the Greek, attack ed him with a knife and cut him in the back. Bryant then attempted to escape, but Gesson grabbed a shotgun and fired just as he was going through the door. The police ambulance was called and detectives hurried to the scene. Bryant was carried to his home. No. 559 Pine street, and Gesson was placed under arrest and carried to the police station. Panos received medical attention at the store. Both of the wounded men will recover, it is thought. JUNG LING ANXIOUS FOR CHINKLAND HOME. Will Be Started on His Journey Next Saturday Night. Jung Ling, the almond-eyed who has been domiciled for the last six weeks in the Chatham county jail awaiting deportation, is anxious to get back to the land whence he came. He has developed a great longing for the land of mandarin, the pipe-hitters, the Empress Dowager, and he is wild to see a book wherein you read up and dpwn instead of across the pages. So great is his longing that he has asked his attorneys, Messrs. Abrahams & Rourke, to hurry things up, and they have. Judge Speer has written several let ters in the case and at last the gov ernment is ready to pay the freight on the washee-washee. Besides Jung, who longs so ardently for Chefoo and Shanghai, there will be a slant-eyed comrade from Macon and two from Au gusta in the deportation party. The Celestials will be sent to Norfolk. Va., and thence shipped to China. Uncle Sam will pay the freight. Jung and the others now regret they slipped into this country, for they missed much excitement in the Far East. Instead of doing rapid-change stunts In the matter of names and in the trading of chat-chis —the Chink way of saying certificate—they could have been aiding either the Japanese or the Russians, incidently themselves, in the free-for-all life of a Chinese bandit. Then they will all have beau tiful names that take up an entire page of print, and the heavy iron and the gleaming shirt front will be for gotten in the delights of fan-tan and the dreams that come from the pipe. FIRST DISTRICT WILL MEET WEDNESDAY NIGHT. Other Clnhs Will Have Second Meet ings in Near Fntnre. A meeting of the First District Ad ministration Club has been called for Wednesday night, at the hall of the Salvation Army on West Broad street. This will be the first meeting of the campaign held in the First, and a large attendance Is expected. The First will follow in line with the Fourth and South Side in demanding improvements for the section repre sented. The paving of West Broad street to Bay street and the improve ment of the squares in the district will be asked. During the last municipal race there were sorpe lively meetings held in this district and interest will again be aroused, it is thought. There has been some talk of reorganizing the club in the Second district, but as there is no opposition it is not thought this will bo done. The South Side will hold meetings every Friday night from now until the Mayor’s election in January, and the Fourth will also meet at regular in tervals. Considering the fact that there Is no opposition to the present administration, a great deal more in terest than is usual has already been shown in the campaign. MAYOR MYERS ISSUES ANNUAL PROCLAMATION. Mayor Myers yesterday issued his Thahksgiving proclamation, calling upon the people of Savannah to ob serve the national holiday. The city has much to be thankful for, Mayor Myers says. Improvements have been made or inaugurated this year far surpassing the record of any previous year. Not only will the municipal offices, but the United States and county of fices as well, will be closed on Thanks giving. The Mayor says he hopes to see the day generally observed here.

Poultry la Scarce and Price* Are Higher Than Last Year. "Keep on struttin’ Mister Turkey, you ain’t know what time it Is.” With a substantial advance in prices and the supply not equal to the demand, the regulation Thanks giving dinner of turkey and cranber ry sauce will be missing from a great many tables on Thursday. Prices have soared skyward and the dealers say they will be unable to fill the orders of all their customers. One grocer accounted for the scarcity by saying the farmers had devoted all of their time to ootton and overlooked the “bird that made Thanksgiving fa mous.” When it became known that tur keys would cost more than they did a year ago many determined to go in for chickens, ducks or even quail. But all along the line there has been a strong advance in prices with a lim ited supply. Dressed chickens sold yesterday for 18 and 20 cents a pound. Dressed turkeys were sold at 25 cents a pound, or about 3 cents higher than last season’s figures. A great deal of the poultry in the Sa vannah market comes from Tennes see and that state reports a shortage in fowls as well as eggs. ORIGINAL DRAWINGS WILL BE EXHIBITED.

This question is the natural interest that is mani fested in the welfare of the bereaved family. Would It not be well for you to ask yourself this question: Have you enough life insurance? if not, is it not your duty to attend to the matter without further delay? Thou sands of men accounted good finan ciers are kept afloat by their ability and energy—that is, the stream of money coming in is kept equal to that going out. While the man lives this is well; but at his death the power that drives the machinery is stopped, the supply is cut off and all demands are presented for payment—often for pro test—and the wife and children must take what is left. A policy of life in surance in the Massachusetts Mutual takes care of them as no other provi sion can. With such a policy a man is absolutely certain that at his death his family is provided for, and in the event of a contingency—inability to longer continue—his every equity is secured to him under the beneficent laws of the commonwealth of Massa chusetts. These policies guarantee to every policy-holder of a Massachusetts company either a cash settlement or a paid-up insurance, in addition to which the law secures him his divi dends each year. It is to your interest to examine into the plans of the Mas sachusetts Mutual before entering in to a contract for life insurance. It is the leading Massachusetts company and pays good dividends to policy holders. It will cost you nothing for information, a specimen policy and an extract of the insurance laws of Mas sachusetts will be sent you on appli cation.
