8 SEARCH FAILED TO REVEAL COIN NO TRACE OF GOLD YET. CHESM'TT ROBBERY STILL OCCU PIES TIME OF POLICE. Woman Will Be Held for Laroony of Diamond* If for Xo Other Canoe—Homo of the (oiijtlo Worn Searched by Detective* Vootordny. It lo Xot Believed That Llndooy Went Home Before He Retnrned } to Chennutt Home the Second Time. V A search of the home of ©rant amd Jane Lindsey by detectives failed to bring- to light the money which was stolen from the home of Mr. J. B. Chesnutt Saturday after noon. It was hardly hoped by the police that this evidence against the man and woman would be discovered at their house, as it is not believed Lind eey had time to go home before he returned to the Chesnutt home the second time. A visit to the rooms In jthe Board of Trade building, wheats Liindsey was engaged at work gave evidence that the man had hurriedly left his labors in a half completed state, as if he had answered a telephone call. The mop and scrubbing brushes were found in the middle of the floor, with the palls of water, and cuspidores were piled high in the corner of the rerun. It is the opinion of the detectives that the suspect had enough presence of mind to secret the money some where where it was not likely to be dis covered easily. For Theft of Diamond*. Every detail of the rather unusual case points to the guilt of the man and wife, the police contend, and the evidence against them is considered strong enough to warrant their being held. Charges of larceny of the dia monds found under the woman will probably be preferred against her in the event the money cannot be found. The,sso in gold coin is the one link of evidence that the police will seek to furnish. The most remarkable statement made by the woman, which is the most improbable, was that the man asked her, after she had been gagged, where he could find a piece of rope. According to her own statement she told him she did not know. If she could have talked she certainly could have made an outcry, argue the detectives. The fact that the woman’s hands were tied in front of her, and that the gag was tied loosely over her is an other circumstance which has not been satisfactorily explained. She could easily have pulled the gag from her mouth, even had it interfered with her making an outcry, the officers con tend. Concernlngi Man'* Movements. The detectives will to-day Investigate Lindsey's movements after he left the Chesnutt home the first time. He stated he had gone to the Board of Trade building and asked the eleva tor man if his wife, whom he was expecting, had arrived. Residents in the neighborhood of the Chesnutt home will also be seen and asked if they saw the man come from the house or saw him go to the front door. Both the man and woman tajk free ly of every circumstance, and have made a half dozen corrected state ments, all of which the police regard as improbable as the first. It is hardly probable that an In vestigation will be made by the Re corder th's morning, as the detectives will seek to get additional evidence on which t.o bind the prisoners over to a higher court. WINDOWS AND ALTARS READY FOR SHIPMENT. Await Order* from Clergy of Snored Heart Cliurcli. Rev. Father Bernerd. O. S. 8., has received a telegram from the Munich firm that is making the windows for the new Church ot the Sacred Heart, that the windows are complete and ready for shipment. They will be brought at once to this country and kept in New' York un til the church here is ready to put them in place. This will require but little more time, and it is now certain that the beautiful edifice will be ready for occupancy by the middle of Jan uary. Word has also been received that the altars and other church furnishings are completed and will be shipped as soon as orders to do so are received from the clergy here. Work on the church is progressing rapidly, as well as on the new rec tory- The foundation for the new Benedictine College is also well under way and this building will be com pleted by next May. The rapidity with which the work on the church properties has been carried out speaks well for the contractor, Mr. J. R. Eason. THIEF DROPPED BUNDLE WHEN BOARDER FIRED. Burglar Discovered With Plunder In Harris Street Home. Caught in the act of coming from the second floor with a bundle of clothes at the home of Mrs. Peter Melling at No. 314 Harris street, east, Saturday night, a negro burglar hur ried from the premises and escaped under Are from one of the occupants of the house. Mr*. Melling saw the man coming downstairs with a bundle and called to him to know what he was doing In the house. He made no response and Mrs. Melling gave the alarm. One of the gentlemen in the house seized a pistol and pursued the thief, firing two shots In a vain effort to stop him. The negro dropped the clothing In Liberty lane near Lincoln street, and made his escape. The mutter was call ed to the attention of the city detec tives yesterday morning.

Will Be Located on Water Front Near S. A. L. Terminal*. The erection in Savannah of a very large plant for refining wood spirits of turpentine is now an assured fact. Two gentlemen representing the New York capitalists who are back of the company are now in the city and have completed a part of the arrangements for the plant. They are Messrs. J. Frankel and N. H. Rothschild, both of New York. At present they are unwilling to dis cuss their plans because not all of them have been perfected. From other sources, however, it Is understood a site for the refinery has been secured on the river front, somewhere in the vicinity of the Seaboard Air Line terminals, and that the contract for driving the piles for the foundation of the main building has already been let, and an office on Bay street, east, has been secured and will probably be opened within a few days. The statement that Savannah would shortly become headquarters for the wood spirits business was made in the Morning News a few days ago, when it was also stated that the company now’ preparing to erect a plant was prepared to invest in that, and in the business as a whole, something in the neighborhood of half a million dollars. So soon as the details of the com pany’s plans have been arranged the plan and scope of operation will be made public. FIRE PRESSUReToN MAINS CAUSED FLOOD. Cap Wa* Left Off Emergency Tank on Leopold Adler'* Building. A leak in one of the valves in the emergency tank on the top of Leopold Adler's building at Bull and Brough ton streets some time ago emptied the tank, and Mr. Adler made a request of the Fire Committee several days ago to have the fire pressure put on, so that he could refill it. It was agreed that the pressure was to be put on at 12 o’clock at night, and Mr. Adler was to have an engi neer present. Promptly at 12 the pres sure was turned on to the mains. At 20 minutes to 2 o’clock the patrolman on the Broughton street beat tele phoned to police headquarters that a main had burst somewhere, and the street and Broughton lane were filling with water. It was found that the oap on the tank on the top of the Ad ler building had been left off, and the tank was overflowing. A few minutes later the sergeant re ceived another telephone message, stat ing that the pipes had burst in the Board of Trade building and that there was danger of a flood there also. A telephone message was hastily sent to the pumping station to have the high pressure cut off. No damage was done in either case, but a great quantity of water was wasted. petitioTforsale - OF GEORGIA CAR WORKS. Creditor* Auk That Referee Order the Property Sold. A petition on behalf of certain cred itors of the Georgia Car Works, bank rupts, has been filed with Referee Mac- Donell by Lawton & Cunningham, praying that an order be passed au thorizing and commanding the trustee to sell the entire property. No de cision on the petition has as yet been made by Judge MacDonell. The petition sets forth the amounts that are due the creditors of the con cern and recites the facts connected with the bankruptcy proceedings, and the subsequent developments in the ef fort to place the manufacturing con cern on its feet again. It is further claimed that, under the circumstances, the only way in which the petitioning creditors can secure anything on the amounts due them, is to order a sale of the assets, and have the proceeds divided among the creditors according to law. In case Judge MacDonell should see fit to grant the petition, ten days’ no tice of the sale must be given and then the property would be sold. This would finally wind up the affairs of the concern that made such a commenda ble effort to get on its feet again after it had failed. It is stated that the petition for sale may be resisted, though this cannot be said definitely. SOUTH~CAROIJNA "NEGRO HELD FOR LARCENY. Long Distance Telephone Message Cat Oil His Flight.

I* Making an lntere*l-SI Irri ng Tour of the South nail Say* the Organi zation in Savannah I* the Best in Thin Section—Mr. De Haa* I* n Msait of Strong Personality anti Talks Interestingly of the Zionist Move ment. Mr. J. De Haas, secretary of the Federation of American Zionists, ar rived from Charleston yesterday morn ing for a three day's visit to Savan nah and is being entertained by the local Zionists at the De Soto. An entertainment committee, com posed of Mr. Julius Stark, Dr. B. Cour shon, Mr. A. Rauzin, Mr. George Lew in and Mr Barnowitz, met Mr. De Haas at the railroad station and escorted him to the hotel. During the day he was entertained at the home of Mr. Stark and last night he lectured at the Synagogue B. B. Jacob, where he interested a large audience. Two receptions were held by Mr. De Haas at the home of Mr Stark, No. 414 Tattnall sitroet, yesterday. The house was crowded with visitors dur ing the entire time Mr. De Hass was there and boys and girls, young Zion ists Mr. De Hass called them, were received with the older people. A Strung PerMonnJity. Mr. De Haas is a man of strong personality. Highly cultured and thoroughly cosmopolitan, he is at once at home with any crowd and soon wins his hearers by his enthusiasm for the Zionist movement. His trip through the South is for the purpose of stir ring up further interest in the Zionist work, which has made rapid strides in this section in the last few years. ‘‘You may call it a world stirring tour, I guess,” he said, when asked about the objects of his trip. “I came down here, as I have gone to other sections, to arouse new interest in the work. In the last few years great progress has been made in the South and particularly in Savannah, but to further interest people in the work I have come off my New York shelf and am visiting the principal cities of the South. Object of Zionism. “The Object of the organization is to secure a legally recognized, pub licly assured home for the Jews of Palestine. I don’t mean by that to take all the Jews hack to Palestine. We have frequently been misunder stood on that point. “The movement is only about seven years old and during that time we have united about half a million Jews in the work. We have raised a trust capital of between $3,000,000 and $4.- 000,000 and we have raised funds for the purchase of national b uds in Pal estine amounting to about $300,000. This last fund has all been raised within the last twenty months. All Over tile World. "During the seven years we have formed 3,200 organizations in all parts of the world. There are 308 in the United States. We are stronger in Russia than in any other country, there being 2,000 organizations there alone. “We have held six congresses since the organization and will hold the seventh congress next spring or sum mer in Europe. It will be the largest we have ever had and will be attend ed by delegates from every quarter of the earth. There were 592 delegates at the last congress and there will be an even larger number at the next. "Zionism has revived Interest in the original Hebrew language.” he con tinued. “and the presses of both Eu rope and the United States are now continually turning out poems, essays and other articles in- the language of Isaiah brought up-to-date. It has pro duced anew Jewish art and anew Jewish literature.” Jew* a * Aari cn 11 uriat *. "The Zionists'work has further dem onstrated,” Mr. De Haas said, “that the abilities of the Jews are not confined to mercantile business. He gives sta tistics to show what is being done in an agricultural and horticultural way in Palestine, figures that are rather startling to one who has never looked into the matter. “We have demonstrated that Pales tine is a fertile country and that the Jews make excellent agriculturists and horticulturists," he said. “I haven’t the figures for last year, but two years ago there were 7,000,000 bottles of wine produced in Palestine by the Jews— -7,000,000 bottles of wine from grapes grown by Jews, gathered by Jews, pressed by Jews and cooled in Jewish cellars. I expect I might add that it was mostly drunk by Jews.” Compliments Savannah. in speaking of the Zionists in the South, Mr. De Haas said the organiza tion here was the most active of any. Excellent progress has been made in Savannah, he said, and large sums have been contributed to all the funds of the organization. He was pleased with what he had seen of the city. "It is very pretty,” he said. "You know I Wave some Oriental blood in my veins and I like the sunshine and the open air.” Mr. De Haas will remain in the city to-day and Tuesday. From Savannah he will go to Augusta, then Atlanta, Chattanooga, and later to New Or leans. To-day he will be shown about the city by the entertainment com mittee. He will be carried to all the resorts and upon his return will be din ed at the home of Mr and Mrs. Gar funkei. To-night he will lecture In the Metropolitan Hall, at President and Whitaker streets, under the aus pices of the Ladies Society. No ar rangements have yet been made for Tuesday, but Mr. De Haas will be en tertained on that day by the local Zionists in some appropriate manner. ZIONISM AN EXPRESSION OF NATIONAL FEELING.

John Strcker Ha* Fallen Heir to Fatale in Ireland. Attorneys J. Ferris Cann and David C. Barrow have been asked by an Eng lish firm of attorneys to do what they can to locate John Stroker, a sailor who has Just fallen heir to a large fortune. All trace of the man has been lost and the attorneys who represented his father, are anxious to locate him and have him return to Ireland and take charge of the estate that has just been left him by his father. Information concerning Stroker is very meagre. He came to .this coun try many years ago and at the time of the war between the Slates enlisted with the Confederate soldiers and fought, as far as can be learned, throughout the war. Then he return ed to the sea for a livelihood. When last heard of he was in Savannah in the service of a merchant vessel sail ing between this port and Havre. That was in 1874, and since that time all trace of him has been lost. Attorneys Cann and Harrow have communicated with all the steamship lines and with the different maritime agencies that can be reached, in the hope that some trace of him may be found. The estate in Ireland is a large one and it is believed that the terms of the testator’s will have left it en tirely to Stroker. Stroker, according to the information received, is a man of nearly 65 years of age, and the estate woulfl make his fast years ones of rest and comfort. countrynegrcTlost COAT AND MONEY TOO. Smooth Game Worked on Him by mi En*t Broad Ron*tal*out. Henry Cole is a negro from the provinces who came to Savannah several days ago full of hope and con fidence in his ability to extract from* his fellow men what the world owed him. His first business venture, how ever, bereft him of his overcoat and $3 in cash, consequently his appear ance at police headquarters in a very aggravated frame of mind. Desk Sergeant McCool has a keen sense of the pathetic as well as the humorous side of affairs. He is a per severing officer who believes in letting no one tell his tales of woe to un listening ears. It is of just such men as the sergeant that that inhuman monster spoke to a poor provincial once, saying "Tell your troubles to a policeman.” In this' particular instance the sergeant paid close attention to the recital of Cole's ills. The bucolic citizen came from the neighborhood of Hahira, wears a 10 % shoe and a straw hat. He wore an overcoat until he met a smooth colored chap on East Broad street, who at once assured him that his fortune was made. Of course the city fellow proposed his assistance to get his country friend started. "Jedge, I wuz Jes walkin’ along hopin’ I’d git er job, when it seem like dis nigger could see whut I wuz thinkin’ erbout. He up an’ arst me, 'My good man. kin you take er good job fer me?’ I tol’ him er course I could. Den he tol’ me he wanted me ter take er run on de Seaboard Air Line. All I had ter do wuz ter sweep out de cyars, wash de winders and tote ice water to de engineer. I wuz ter git $35 er month. He sed I could git board at de railroad boardin’ house fer $9 er month. He sed he would go off en fix it fer me. “Den he started off. but come back en ask me ter lend him my overcoat, as he had been sick and wuzn’t feelin’ jess right. He put de coat on en look It over. Den he said I would have to pay de first month’s board in advance. I didn’t have but $3, so he sed he would fix it fer me ;so I could go right to eatin’ an’ sleepin’ there. He told me to wait in front of de barber shop until he eomei back. I stayed dere until 2 o’clock in de mornin’ an’ er policeman kep' askin’ me what wuz I doin’ till I finally cammed up here to ’port dat man. I don’t believe he ever intended cornin’ back.” ESTIMATE OF EXPENSES FOR CITY DEPARTMENTS Will Be Submitted to Mayor Myers To-day by Officials. To-day is the time fixed by Mayor Myers for all the heads of the city departments to submit their estimates of expenses for the coming year. Most of the departments will be satisfied with the same appropriations they re ceived this year, though some few will try to get increases. Mayor Myers, however, has stated that, except for paving, none of the appropriations will be increased. He favors only a slight increase in the paving appropriation. Work on the budget for next year will not be start ed until after the regular meeting of Council, on Wednesday night. A spe cial session will later be called to con sider the budget. DEPUTY~SHERfFF FELL INTO COLD RIVER. The sudden and involuntary dive of a well known deputy sheriff into the green waters of the Skidaway, oppo site Barbee's place, at I*,le of Hope, yesterday afternoon, created considera ble excitement for a few minutes. The gentleman was stepping from a naphtha launch into a batteau, when a quick lurch of the latter and an extra butt from the former caused him to lose his equilibrium, and into the salt water he went, head foremost. He came up with his pipe in his mouth and struck out with a bold stroke for the shore, and reached the landing in very good condition, except as to his clothing and tobacco. He said the water was not as cold as It looked, but fully as wet. Burnett’s Vanilla Extract has out lived criticism. It Is the finest and purest vanilla extract that can be bought.

LODGE OF SORROW FOR THE DEPARTED SAVANNAH ELKS ASSEMBLED AT THE THEATER FOR THEIR AX XI'AL MEMORIAL SESSIOX. Eulogy of tile Deceased Brother* Helivered by Key. Gilbert A. Ott iii ho n—The General Eulogy De livered by Mr. Robert J. Travis. Alt Eloquent Oration Abounding in Vivid Word Picture*—“Thana to|*i” Recited by Maj. J. Ferri* Cann. In loving remembrance of absent brothers, the Elks of Savannah as sembled at the theater yesterday aft ernoon in their annual lodge of sor row. Shortly before the hour set for the opening of the lodge the orchestra struck up the strains of the proces sional, and the Savannah Elks entered the theater and marched to the front seats. Grouped on the stage in a semi circle were the officers of the lodge and the speakers. Just a little to the rear of the stage center rose the monu ment on which was enscrolled the names of those brothers who had died during the last year. Bordering the monument was the deep black of mourning in the folds of which clus tered the lights, emblematic of the light and iove that had been cast into the councils of the order by the de parted brothers. In a few appropriate words the exalt ed ruler,Mr. W. H. Connerat, Jr., spoke of the gathering to honor the virtues of the departed, closing with the call for the roll call of the dead. As each name was called each spoken twice, but with no response, the lights opposite that name on the mon ment faded into darkness. The beautiful ceremony continued un til every light on the monument had been extinguished save one, which showed the hands of the clock above pointing to the solemn hour, 11 o'clock. In the silence and darkness that reigned for the few moments a soft sadness, bom of memories of the past, settled over the large assembly, and from every heart went up the prayer— “ Oh. for the touch of a vanished hand, The sound of a voice that is still.” Following the ceremony prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. W. C. Schaeffer, and then, after a selection by the quar tette, the beautiful ritual of the Elks was carried out. Brother J. Ferris Cann followed with Bryant’s “Thana topsis,” a selection that in its awe filled granduer of thought, its tender comfort, was truly appropriate. The duet, "Raise Me, Jesus,” was the next number, sung by Messrs. J. B. Goodman and John S. Banks. Ia Memory’ of the Dead. Rev. Bro. Gilbert A. Ottmann follow ed with a eulogy of the departed. Briefly he spoke of the great lessons that the ages have taught, the lessons that humanity sweeps ever onward, th'at each age is better than any that had before gone into its place in his tory. "Knowing and understanding all this, we can rest assured that the world will keep moving onward, learn ing from the past, until all humanity sweeps into the universal adoption cf the sweetest, grandest, and best faith and brotherly love that the world has ever known,” said Mr. Ottmann. “And as each age has learned from the ages that have gone before them, so man must learn of those men who preceded him. Of the departed brothers those who remain can learn the lessons of charity they taught, the ideals of jus tice they were working toward, the brotherly love that made them dear to all, and the fidelity to principles which marked their lives. The remain ing brothers meet not only to praise the read, but wh'at is sweeter still, to re member and learn of them.” He closed with a message of hope for the future and trust for the reun ion that knows no separation. "The faults of our brothers we write upon the sands. Their virtues on the tablets of love and memory!” Following Rev. Mr. Ottmann’s ap propriate eulogy I'ame the cornet solo, “For All Eternity.” Character Alone Worth While. Brother Robert J. Travis followed with the general eulogy. “One year," he said, "is a short time, an infinitely small portion of eternity, and yet in that time can come so many heart aches, so many trials, and troubles, so many wounds of sorrow. It is some thing that is a cause for universal regret and a wishing* that it were not so.” Then followed a series of eloquent and brilliant W'ord pictures. “It is the past to which man clings,” he said, "To-day the laurel wreath rests on his brow and to-morrow he but remembers it. gazing on its withered leaves. Na poleon was Emperor one day and on the next a lonely prisoner on a distant, narrow, isle. And all of us huve known that feeling. We have gone forth to conquer, we have fought our battles, we have watched the hair silver. And then, in the end, we have come back to the humble home, weary of the din of the world, tired of its constant struggles, soul-sick at its sneering. All that is worth while is character." He closed with a beautiful an elo quent eulogy of the great principles of the order, Charity. Justice, Brother ly Love, and Fidelity. A series of word pictures, a succession of prose poems, an eloquent appeal that touch ed the best sentiments in the hearts of his audience marked the closing and stamped the eulogy as the feature of the Lodre of Sorrow. Following, Mr. Travis’ eulogy came a selection by the quartette. "Good Night. Beloved.” The quartette was composed of Messrs. J. B. Goodman. John S. Banlts. H. C. Hardy, Jr., and B. C. Thomson. The closing ode followed and the lodge was dismissed with benediction. For Over Sixty Years Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup has been used for children teething.

The seventh anniversary of the Woman’s Missionary Society of the Duffy Street Baptist Church was cele brated yesterday at the church. Rev. Robert Van Deventer, the pastor, ad dressed the society and selected as his subject, "Ramabi Pandita” as an il lustration of the good a charitable so ciety can accomplish.

Considerable interest is being aroused in the coming of Rev. James O. S. Huntington, O. H. C„ and Rev. Shirley C. Hughson, O. H. C., to St. Paul’s Episcopal Church next Sunday, when the Services of the Missions will be started. An open letter from the missioners explaining the objects of the services to be held during the ten days has been sent and copies were furnished the members of the church at the services yesterday. Rev. Gilbert A. Ottmann, reetpr of the church, antici pates that the mission will result in a great deal of good being done. The letter of the missioners follow: First. It is to bring us face to face with God. We must meet Him before long. Is it not better to meet Him now, and repent if we have wronged Him, and serve Him if we have neg lected Him? Do you know God? If you knew Him you would love Him. Do you love God? If not, will you not come and learn to know Him? Second. It is to bring us face to face with ourselves. Do you know what sort of a person you are? Or do you think of yourself only as your friends think of you? You can know the truth about yourself only by look ing at your life in the light of God’s Commandments. Have you done this? Third. It is to bring us face to face with our duty. You have a work to do for God. He put you Into this world to do it. Do you know what that work is? If not, will you not come and find out? Faithfully your friends, James O. S. Huntington, O. H. C.; Shirley C. Hughson, O. H. C. Funeral of Peter Fox.
