Tickets for Her arnd Two Daugh
ters From Atlanta to Sa
vannah.
Mrs. M. W. Cahill who resided in
this city for some time, Mr. Cahill be
ing master mechanic of the B. & B
shops, who left here several weeks
ago to reside in Alabama, was the
vistim iof a'pick-pocket in Atlanta
Saturday, and was relieved of hsr
pocket-book, containing $123,30 and
several railroad passes.
The story of the robbery is told as
follows in Sunday’s Savannah News: j
Minus her purse, containing $323,30,
trunk checks and railroad passes for
herseif and two daughters, Mrs. M. W.
Cahill, formerly of this city, but now
of fenetheid, Ala., arrived in Savannah
yesterday morning over the Southern
radway.
In order to make the trip here,
where sue will spend the holidays
with her sister, Mrs. J. F. Berry, Mrs.
Cahill had to permit passengers on
the train toi pay here fare. She took
the names and addressses of those
who befriended her, and who refused
to accept her jewels until she made
good the loan, and will forward to
tuem the money that they paid for
her tickets.
Mrs. camll was robbed in the At
lanta raluoad station, and found her
self iu an embarrassing position when
she got on the train. She carried her
money iu a bag suspended from her
belt, and at the station gate showed
ner passes for Savannah. There was
a crowd at the depot and Mrs. Cahill
old not notice her loss until she took
her seat iu the train. She immedia
tely notified the railroad people, and
a search was made, for her valuable*,
but wataout success.

Knew tudc ane put tnem back in her
bag, and it was made certain that she
had been robbed cm her way to the
poach. The Southern train leaves
Atlanta tutor midnight, and Mrs. Ca
bin iounu herseu wunout sumeieut
funds to bring herself and daughters
tu Savannah. The train was held up
until a lull report of the robbery
could be made to the railroad offi
cials and Mrs. Cahill says that she
was treated with the utmost consider
ation.
She wore valuable diamonds and In
sisted upon depositing a diamond pin
with one of the passengers as security
for a large enougu loan to buy ickets.
None of the passengers would take
any oi the jewelry, and she was forced
to accept a loan. One of her daugh
ters uaa some silver and me passea

full amount required for the tickets.
Mrs. Cahill's husband is connected
with one of the railroads in Alabama,
and doe3 not yet know of the rob

GEORGIA SHOULD BE THERE.
Former President Egan, of the Cen
tral Talks of St. Louis’ Fair.
Savannah, Dec. 21.—John M. Egan,
until recently president of the cen
tral railroad, returned today from a
trip to the west. He visited St. Louis
among the other places.
In speaking of the exposition, Pres
ident Egan, says:
"Because of the great advances that
have been made in agricultural and
mechanical lines, the St. Louis expo
sition will be of evqn greater interest
and educational value than the Chi
cago world's fair.
"Georgia should by ali means be rep
resented by a building at the St. Louis
and every county in the state should
exposition, but more than this, each
have a representative there, whose
duty it would be to study exhibits oi
an agricultural and mechanical nature
and cm returning travel through the
counties of the state explaining to the
farmers and oothers in just what
way they can profit by what the'.r rep
resentative saw.’’
EMPEROR MAKES THEM ANGRY.

London, Dec. 21 —Considerable re

over the reference to Waterloo made
by Emperor William on Saturday at
a banquet in Hanover in honor of the
anniversary of the Hanoverian regi

raised his glass “To the healtli of the
German legion in the memory o£ their
incomparable deed, whichd, in cna
junstion with Blucher and the Prus
sians rescued the English arr% from
destruction at Waterloo.”
The Chroniccle, The Standard and

against what the Chronicle calls the
emperor’s preposterous claims.

THE CARNIVAL CO,
SAYS GOOD-BYE
—t —
And Fold Their Tents
to Seek Other
Parts
MANAGER BERGER TAIKS
Says He Thanks God That There are
a Few People in Brunswick Who
Helped Him While in Trouble
Here.
The Berger Carnival Company,
which had sci mush and -mused so
much trouble in Brunswick, has gone
and it is useless to say, never to re
turn to the city.
The company quietly folded its tents
Sunday, and Sunday night, each mem
ber delighted, took th etraln for Flor
ida, where the carnival is booked to
play this week.
Besides all the trouble that the
masagers had here they also came out
two or three hundred dollars to the bad
and one or two of the shows was dis
banded here.
Manager Berger, to a News report
er, said he found a number of good
friendly citizens here, who seemed to
have a little sympathy for people in
trouble, “but I have never, in all my
experience and I have been iu the car
nival business for years, received such
treatment as I did in Brunswick, and
it it had not been for one ur two kind
hearted citizens who helped me i think
my whole company would have been
compeileu to quit business in Bruns
wick.
"When I came to Brunswick i die
not expect toi make money, for the
simple reason tnat the carnival had
not been thoroughly auvertised in the
surrounding country, but as I had an
open week, I thought I might be able
to clear eqpenses here, but I can hon
estly state that I am two or throe hun
dred dollars loser.
‘•You may tell the people of your city
that they will never hear from the
Berger Carnival Company again.
“To these who assisted me I return
my sincere appreciation and thank
God that you have a few sympathetic
people in your pretty little city.”
PRESENTS FOR ROOSEVELT.
President is Receiving Gifts From
Many People.
Washington, Deo. 21.—Notwithstand
ing the well known aversion of the
president to receiving gifts from per
sons personally unknown to him,
Christinas presentts are arriving in
great numbers at the White House,
coming largely from unknown admir
ers of the Roosevelts, though of
course, there are many also from rel
atives and personal friends. The
character of the gifts is varied. Some
are ccatly, others unique, and not a
few on Uie freak order. They come
not oniy from all parts of the United
States, but from Cuba, Portp Rico,
mainder will be distributed among the
gifts received from the Philliplnes
are many interesting curios and these
will doubtless find a resting place in
the president’s cabinet.
Tropicai fruits, including pineapples,
bananas and oranges, have been re
ceived at the executive mansion, and
turkeys, barrels of apples, and wild
game have come from many parts of
the west. These are all of the finest
quality and naturally are highly ap
preciated by the president and his
family. The finest of the turkeys will
be selected to grace the White House
table on Christmas day, while the re
mainder wil be distributed among the
married employees.

'Mill OF WATER

People of Macon Will Soon

'22SJ* Steamer
COL. QUINN MAKES REPORT
Considerable Work has Been Done
o n the River Lately by the Gov
ernment and Macon is Now
Anxious for Regular Line.
The fallowing from the Macon Tele
graph cf yesterrday will be of inter
est to the people of this city in partic
ular and to points along th Ocmulgee
and Altamaha rivers in general:
To tho Editor of Tho Telegraph;
During the past twelve months the
navigation oommitti of the Chamber
of Commerce, com; ised of seven of
the largest shipper . and most patri
otic and public-spi ited men in the
community, have be tn working to se
cure a li.ie of stc, aors from M- .con
to Brunswick. TANARUS! sy have wo. Red
with fauth and cot -age and hav re
ceived every assn ;nce that bc.ure
a great while Mace , will havu a orn
plcte beat servioe as any city in the
state.
.These gentlemen are practical men
and, it taey had cot satisfied them
selves that the Ocmulgee river is a
navigable stream, they would have
nothing to do with the effort to run
steamboats oa it.
in tuc excerpts which .you printed
from C:l. James B. Quinn's report to
tne war department yesterday I ilnd
inis sentence; “Between these two
obstructions (meaning the sand shoals
opposite Central Perk and Mansfield
farm at Macon and the rock shoals
above HawkinsviUo) the river has am
ple depth.”
Id another portion of Col. Quinn’s
report, which has not yet been print-
ed in the newspapers, appears a state
ment that "the project depth,” mean
iug the depth which the government
' seeks to secure all the way from Ma
j con to the Altaniaha, is four feet. If
[ the river has "ample depth” between
jtie obstruction at Macon and those at
I fjawkinsi Die, it must be that “ample
depth” moans “project depth," or four
!foet of water that is already between
1 those points.
Col. Quinn’s report shows in anoth
er part, not yet published, that the
snoals at Hawkinsville have been cut
out almost half way across tbe river,
aad the steamboat men say that the
only difficulty steamers experience in
crossing there now is caused by the
awittuess of the water as it pours
through the opening that has heenj
made for boats. „
It wilx be seen, therefore, that the
only reisom the river has a two-foot
"carrying depth froom Macon to ILaw
xinsvillf in extreme lowwater” as you
jnoted yesterday, is that the sand
saoals it Macon obstruct the channel
for aboi t three miles and for that dis
tance lie depth Is only two feet. As
a mule can carry only as much load on
i wagon as he can draw over tbe steep
est hill x-tween the starting point and
Jestinatcn, a steamboat's draft must
be governed by the shallowest point
over which it will pass. The shallow
est pla< c between Macon and flaw
lunsvilb is two feet. This place Is
oa the ijose sand at Macon. It is not
enough to prevent navigation even in
extreme low. water, but it constitutes
the controlling depth, to which Col.
Quinn eferred. If, as some might
t link, Liere is only a two-loot depth
all along between Macon and 1-law
liinsville, the naviga on committee of
tie Chamber of Cos meree would be
v asting tHeir time n I energy in work
i:ig for navigation, ; I congress would
be wasti-g the peoi is money in try
ilg to improve th- river’s coud- ion.

This is a mistake. Mayor Crovati

to fireworks, but during the holidays

10 RIJLCT THE LAS! NOTE
Reply to Proposals it Unsatisfactory
Report That an Ultimatum Has
Bieen Sent to Russia by Ja
pan is Discredited.
London, Dec. 21. —Router's Tele
gram Company has learned that con
siderable anxiety exists in the best
informed circles of London regarding:
the possible outcome of the situation
•a the tar east. Fears are, it is said,
expressed that the Russian govern
meut may have over stopped the bounds
rhich would make a continuation of
peaceful negotiations with Japan pos
sible. It may fie regarded as quite
certain, it asserts, that Japan will
aot accept the principles of the last
Russian note which are alrogether
tt variance with Japan's mam con
tentions and tnat Japan s reply must
necessarily fie cast iu this sense.
Apart uoiu tne delicate stare of tba
negotiations between tile two nations
Renter says it is also known that Rus
sia iu assuming a more defiant atti
tude, and tne ouuook utay be rettarued
us more gloomy mau it hitherto has
need, utuougu it cannot be said tnat
me resources ta a .pin many nave been
completely exnausied. The statement
ooneiuues by snymg that there is as
yet, no actual news of tresn develop
ments, and tnat no uitimatum naj
aeon sent by Japan u> Russia.
Not Believed at London.
Pekin Dee. 21. — The report cabled
irom Tien isiu to Loudon Baturday,
xo the effect that Japan had sent an ul
amatuin to Russia is disci euileu hole
anil no information of a corrobiutiva
nature is m the uossessiun of xuu
loiuign legation. * .
While the knowledge of the legation
on the. situation leads to the beiifef
that the senuiiig ot an ultimatum is
improbable the prospects of war are
evidently increasing. Th British le
gation some days ago received a tel
egram indicating that war was possible
and the Japanese legation is oiliciia
ly informed that Russia's recent re
ply to the Japanese proposals was uu
odiistaotury.
Grave Crisis Approaching.
Fokin, Dec; 21. — vvniio no nows
uas been- received at the Jap-mcse le
gation that Japan has sent an uiti
maiuin to Russia, it is recognized at
the legation that a grave crisis is
approaching major General Vamani,

Japan-■ > culoi ei, tu has been in

Wao Wu Pu, or the Chinese foreign
| board, as authority for the story. This
fiction is largely credited and gravely
discussed, and is creating hostility
against Great Britain, it is suspect
ed that the story has been fostered by
unfriendly agencies appointed tor the
purpose and the British legation is in
vestigating its origin.
