Savannah Tribune

VOL. XVJI. FOR NEGRO'S DEATH Georgia Camp Warden and Physician are Held Responsible. Convict Was Put In "Sweater" aa Means of Punishment and On account of cruelties perpetrated on a negro convict, Fred Kent, at the convict camp, at Jakin, Early county, Ga., on May 16th, 1900, and from the effects of which cruelties Kent died, the state prison commission has issued an order for the officials in charge of the camp to swear out a warrant for murder for Willis Ponder, deputy warden of the camp, and aor accessory after the fact for Dr. H. G. Minter, the camp physclan, and requested Governor Candler to have the solicitor general of that circuit prosecute the two men. The order also discharged Ponder and Minter from the service of the state. The order and the manner in which the convict was treated has caused a tremendous sensation at the capitol and in Early county where the cruelties were inflicted and judging from the position the prison commission has taken in the matter, the two men will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. State Warden Jake Moore has filed a report with the commission telling the result of the investigation which he was ordered to make and from his statement, which is as accurate as cou'd be secured, owing to the length of time that has elapsed, the convict was horribly treated. The attention of the commission was first called to the matter by one Simon O'Nell, a Savannah policeman who was sent up for manslaughter, and who was pardoned a few weeks ago. O'Nell told the story of the treatment of Kent for the first time, and when the members of the commission saw the article they immediately began an investigation. According to the report of State Warden Moore, Kent, upon the orders of Ponder, who was deputy warden of the camp, was placed in a room by a hot stove and was completely covered by 15 blankets. He was kept in that position for fully two hours, and was finally released when it was seen that he was nearly exhausted. Dr. H. G. Minter, the camp physician, was sent for, and he exerted every effort to save the man, but it was seen at once that he would die. Late during the night Kent died from the effects of the punishment. The manner in which Kent was punished was not reported to the commission. Dr. Minter, in his report, had the following explanation: "Admitted to the hospital May 16, 1900. Died of cerebral congestion on May 17th." The commission believing the report to be true, made no further investigation of the facts until the statement from O'Nell appeared in The Atlanta Journal. Warden Vittitoe, who was permanently in charge of the camp, but who was away from Jakin at the time the punishment was inflicted, died shortly after Kent did. Ponder says now that the reason he made no report of the matter was because Vittitoe had said he had informed Warden Moore of it. This Warden Moore says is untrue. Dr. Minter says he failed to report it because he was promised by the warden that it would not occur again. State Warden Moore in his report says that the death of Kent was a diabolical crime, committed in day light with a number of witnesses present. He says he talked with several of the convicts there at the camp and they to'd him they dared not tell for fear of punishment themselves. Big Camp Named for Roosevelt. The great marine camp on Culebra island, West Indies, has been named by official order from marine headquarters Camp Roosevelt. Bryan's Tour Ended. The New England tour of William J. Bryan was concluded Saturday night at Bridgeport, Conn., when he addressed an audience of 3,500 people at Seaside Park, and was afterwards tendered a reception by the Bridgeport Club. Not Until Next September. The body of the late John W. Mackay, who died in London last week, will not be brought to the United States until September, Mrs. Mackay's health forbidding her earlier departure. MACHIAS IS STANDING GUARD. Staunch Little Gunboat Frowns Upon Cape Haltien and Will Protect Non-Combatants. The following cablegram was received at the navy department Tuesday from Commander McCrea, of the Machias, which arrived at Cape Haltien Monday: "Affairs are very disturbed at Cape Haltien: Unorganized mob in the city. Foreign consuls have been threatened. Will give protection on board. I will prevent bombardment without due notice." The state department has no hesitation in fully approving the energetic and efficient action of Commander McCrea in taking care of the foreign consuls and in preventing a bombardment without warning. The American and foreign interests in Cape Haltien are large and an American captain is required by the unwritten law to look after the life and property of other foreign residents, as well as Americans in such cases. It is said that the rules of international law, as well as the dictates of humanity, require that proper notice be given before a bombardment in order that women, children and non-combatants may leave the town and carry off their personal belongings. Although there is no naval vessel save those now actually engaged in such service, as the Machias within 1,800 miles of the various seats of trouble in Central and South America and the West Indies, the navy department feels that the Machias is sufficiently large for the work at hand at this point. The Machias is a vessel of 1,177 tons, carrying eight 4-inch rapid fire guns and a crew of eleven officers and 143 men. While, not many men could be spared for a landing party, the vessel undoubtedly could lie in the anchorage and cover the town with her guns. It is not believed there is the slightest danger of an attack upon her by any of the Hattien gumboats, loyal or rebel. PONDER HELD FOR MURDER. Discharge Ordered in Case of Dr. Minder—Death of Convict Probed. At the commitment trial held at Blakely, Ga., Tuesday morning Willis Ponder, the former warden at the Jaklin convict camp, was bound over to voluntary manslaughter. His bond was fixed at $5,000, which he gave. Dr. H. G. Minter, who was formerly connected with the camp as physician, was released. The trial was held before a justice of the peace in Blakely and was attended by a large crowd. Solicitor Laing represented the state. Ponder's case will be heard in the superior court in the near future. The evidence tended to show that Captain Vittetoe, who afterwards died, preventing thus a prossecution by Early county grand jury at the time, was responsible for the infliction of the cruelty from which the negro died. The evidence also showed that Ponder did not participate in the sweating, but is held because he was present in the camp as yard man and took no steps to prevent it. Ponder has since become deputy warden. A feature of the day was a petition to the prison board signed by every convict but three in Jakin camp, asking that Captain Ponder be restored to them, stating that they have been better treated under him than under any previous warden. Both Ponder and Minter have been dismissed from the service of the.state by the prison commission, and will no longer be employed at the convict camps. RUMORS DISSIPATED. Physicians Declare Edward Will be Able to Undergo Coronation. The latest and most reliable information indicates that King Edward's doctors were not mistaken in fixing August 9th as the date on which his majesty could be crowned. The sinister rumors which have prevailed for some days now appear to have lost thatsemblance of probability which made even the members of the cabinet nervous lest another postponement of the coronation might be necessitated. REPUBLICANS OR ALABAMA To Meet In Montgomery August 14 and Organize a League. Joseph C. Manning, a prominent Alabama republican, has called a meeting of republicans to be held in Montgomery on August 14. The purpose of the meeting is to organize an Alabama league of republican clubs, the idea being to build up the party in the state by organization. In speaking of the call, Mr. Manning said that he had the backing of President Roosevelt upon the proposition to increase the party strength and respectability in the state. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, AUGUST 2, 1902. FIGHTS MAR PRIMARY Riots and Bloodshed Accompany Casting of Republican Ballots IN FIRST NEW JERSEY DISTRICT Fracas Lasted Three Hours; Resulting In Death of One Man and Fatal Injury of Others—Among the Latter Was "Joe" Goddard. The primary election for delegates to the convention of the first congressional district of New Jersey were held Monday afternoon and evening in Camden, Gloucester and Salem counties, which comprise the district. The candidates for the nomination were Henry C. Loudenslager, the present congressman, and J. Alpheus Van Sant. The contest has been one of the most bitter ever held in southern New Jersey. The polls were open from 5 p. m. to 8 p. m., and the three hours were marked with serious fighting. One man was killed in Camden, and "Joe" Goddard, the well-known heavy weight pugilist of Philadelphia, was probably fatally shot, while electionering in Pensauken township, another mah was dangorously stabbed in a fight, and a fourth man received stab wounds at "Dor Corner," near Merchantville. Goddard was at a voting place in Pensauken township, when he was shot. He was with a number of men, who were travelling from one polling place to another. The pugilist got into a quarrel with a co'ored constable named Robert Washington. It is alleged that Goddard assaulted the constable with a baseball bat, and the colored man, in self-defense, shot Goddard in the head. The constable surrendered himself to the police, and the wounded prize fighter was removed to Sooer hospital in Camden, where the physicians say he may die. Near the same polling place Constable Isaac Fowler, while in a flight, was stabbed twice. His wounds, though painful, are not considered serious. There was considerable trouble in Pensaulkeh township, and at Merchantville, and a number of persons were badly beaten. The most serious affray occurred at Third and Beckett streets, in Camden. Each side had a crowd at the polling place at that point, and a general riot was started. When it was all over it was found that a man who was later identified as John Morrissey, of Philadelphia, had been shot through the heart by some unknown person, and a policeman, not in uniform, armed Harry. Miller, had received two cuts on the head and probably a fatal stab wound in the left lung. There were a number of other persons hurt in the fight, but not seriously so. Latest returns indicate that Louden-slager will have a small majority of delegates. CUBANS "DOWN" ON BRAGG. Islanders Bitterly Resent Consul General's Reflections on Them and Want Him Removed. It is now learned at Washington that the Cuban government went a little further in General Bragg case than was understood at first. If not only made inquiry as to the, accuracy of the quotations reflecting on the Cubans, but complained of the consul general's criticism. The papers in the case are still before the president at Oyster Bay, and some action is expected shortly, either in the way of recalling the consul general or transferring him to some other post if a suitable one can be found. It will be remembered that Consul Bragg recently wrote a letter to his wife in Philadelphia wherein he stated that "Uncle Sam might as well try to make a whistle out of a pig's tail as attempt to improve the status of the Cubans." This letter, somehow, was made public and caused the present row. FITZHUGH LEE ON CUBANS. General is Pessimistic as to Capabilities of Islanders. In an interview at Indianapolis General Fitzhugh Lee is quoted as saying: "I believe that the crisis in Cuban affairs is now over. The Cubans were promised an independent government and they have it. Now they will have to prove that they can give security to property and maintain order. If they do not come to the mark, the island must become a part of the United States or a dependency of this country." O'NEILL MAKES BAD BREAK. Charges Preferred Against a Member of Gate'City Guard. Charges have been preferred against Captain James F. O'Nell, of the Gate City Guard, of Atlanta, Ga., and it is quite probable that a courtmartial will be ordered within the next few days. The charges come as a result of an incident that occurred while the Fifth regiment was in camp at Wrightsville, N. C. Captain O'Nell is charged with striking an enlisted man. The complaint was filed by Corporal Henry Dunwody. According to an eye witness the facts are as follows. "One night during the camp Mrs. Dunwody who was standing in the hotel with a party of ladies, when Captain O'Neill approached the party and stated to Mrs. Dunwoyd that he had been informed by the officer of the guard that her husband had been too much intoxicated to attend to his duties the night previous." "Captain O'Neill's family and Corporal Dunwody's family had been on such friendly terms with each other during the camp that every one in the party thought that the captain must have been joking. Mrs. Dunwoyd took his remarks seriously, for she-immediately burst into tears. "Quite a sensation ensued. The matter was reported to Corporal Dunwody and he immediately sought out the officer of the guard and demanded why he had made such a statement to the captain. The officer of the guard denied having made the statement. "The next day Corporal Dunwody went to Captain O'Neill and told the captain that he thought he was due an apology for the remarks that had been made in the presence of the ladies. "Captain O'Neill replied that he did not think it necessary for an officer to apologize to his inferior. "At this Corporal Dunwody became angry and told the captain that if he was using his rank to keep from apologizing he was acting the part of the coward. "At this Capptain O'Neill struck Corporal Dunwody in the face. "This closed the incident, as a number of the members of the company were present and they caught Corporal Dunwody and kept him from resenting the blow. Corporal Dunwody was placed under arrest, but was subsequently released." OVATION TO BORR LEADERS. Generals, DêWet, Eotha and Delarey Wélcomèd in Œâpè Town. Advices from*Cape Town, South Africa, state that General DeWet proved that he could evade friends as successfully as he did enemies by arriving ther unexpectedly Wednesday afternoon and upsetting all the elaborate plans prepared for his reception. He strolled through the streets, casually nodding to acquaintances and occasionally to a former opponent. Arrangements were quickly made by the Africanders to entertain the famous leader Monday night at a semi-private dinner, tickets to which already stoor at five guingas ($26.25) premium. A striking contrast to De Wet's return was the scenes Sunday when Generals Botha and Delarey attended church. The bulding was packed mainly with women and the service was scarcely concluded when the Cape Town admirers stormed the pew in which the generals sat. With difficulty they retreated to the vestry. The congregation followed and Generals Botha and Delarey were lifted to the vestry table. The pastor of the church warmly remonstrated, whereupon a number of those present seized the generals and carried them to carriages, where another demonstration ensued. NEW YORK FIRM FAILS. For Half a Million Cumming and Stockbridge Make Assignment. The firm of Cumming and Stockbridge, export and import commission merchants at 11-Broadway, N. Y., assigned Monday. The liabilities of the firm are given as in excess of $500,000, but the assets will not be known until an examination of the books is made. It is thought they will nearly or quite equal the liabilities. A statement issued by attorneys for the firm says the suspension was immediately occasioned by the maturing of a number of acceptances aggregating considerable amount, drawn upon the house by B. Duran, of Hayana, whose suspension was announced in Hayana last Friday: Until definite advices from Havana are received it will be impossible to give an entirely accurate statement of the affairs of Cumming and Stockbridge. Cumming and Stockbridge organized about four years ago. The firm has had extensive connections in France and Germany. They are the local agents for the Comstock Steamship company, KEY WEST IS SHAKEN Mammoth Boilers of Light Plant Explode With Frightful Result. SCATTER DEATH AND DISASTER Two Killed and Twenty-Five More or Leas Seriously Hurt by Flying Debris—Big Building Completely Wrecked. The mammoth bollers in the electric light and ice plant of William Curry's Sons, at Key West, Fla., exploded simultaneously Saturday morning, instantly killing two negro firemen, Bud West and Bill Henry, who were crushed to death by falling debris. The light and ice plant was demolished, the large Knight, building adjoining was wrecked, and the entire island was shaken as if by an earthquake. Seven hundred pounds of dynamite was stored in the Knight building, but did not explode. A piece of one of the boilers weighing 4,000 pounds was thrown 500 feet into a fish depot, while another weighing 100 pounds went through the roof of the office of the Peninsular and Occidental Steamship line, falling among the clerks at work, injuring several. Twenty-five occupants of the wrecked buildings were injured. Among the more serious are Pat Andrews Shine, Eugene Knight and Charles Lloyd. At least two of the injured are believed to be fatally wounded. The estimated loss is about $150,000. ENGINE MANGLES THREE GIRLS. Victims Were Caught on a Trestle of the Seaboard Air Line. Annie Cousa, and Jennle and Manile Nelson, three girls, aged 10, 12 and 14 years, were run down by an engine on the Seaboard Air Line Sunday morning and all three bodies were horribly mangled. The accident occurred about 25 miles from Charlotte, N. C., on a trestle that spans Richardson's creek. The girls were walking the trestle work on account of the wagon bridge having been washed away by the recent rains. They had gotten about midway when they heard the approaching train. They had a distance of about 200 yards to cover before they would have reached safety. They ran for their lives, but were unable to make it. The engine struck all three about the same time, and their bodies were hurled to the water underneath. All three were dead when assistance reached them. CIVIL WAR IN HAYTI. Chaotic Conditions Prevall and Blood WILLIE FLOW In Black Republic. Tumultuous conditions continue in Haytyl, according to latest advises received at the state department from Minister Powell, who is at Port au Prince. He cables that civil war has been declared throughout the country and that General Firman, an aspirant for the presidency, is marching on Port au Prince. The provisional government has been dissolved. The acting president has sent a communication to the diplomatic corps declaring that Admiral Killick is a pirate and asking that the naval vessels of the foreign navies capture him. Precedents show that foreign naval powers have decided to pay no attention to any such proclamation, but to regard men in Killick's position as simply rebels. DEN8QN SCORES NEWSPAPER8. Makes Hot Speech at Opening of Johnston Rally in Birmingham. The scathing address of Colonel W. H. Denson at the opening rally of the Johnston forces in Birmingham, Ala. in which he gave the lie to nearly every paper in the state which is opposed to Johnston, has already been heard from and it begins to look as though the address will not be helpful to the cause of Captain Johnston. FEROCIOUS INDIAN GAME. Braves Will Play Usual "Man-Killing" Ball in Mississippi. One hundred Choctaw braves will engage in their famous Indian ball game near the little town of Forest, Miss., on the 8th of August, and the event promises to attract many visitors who will witness the ferocious contest. Fifty Indians will take part on either side. Both teams are branches of the old Choctaw tribe, and this is the first game of ball that has been played since the memorable contest of 1897, when eight of the participants were killed at the close of the struggle. BAREST OF LUCK TO JEFFRIES. Fitzsimmons Defeated, But Boilermaker Carries Marks of Most Fearful Punishment A San Francisco dispatch says: After fighting a battle of eight rounds that was fraught with brilliant and courageous work, Robert Fitzsimmons forfeited his last claim upon the heavyweight championship. He was knocked to the floor by James Jeffries and counted out after he had so badly punished the champion that it was a foregone conclusion among the spectators that the Cornishman must win. Bleeding from a number of gashes in the face, apparently weakening and clearly unable to cope with Fitzsimons' superior skill, Jeffries delivered two lucky punches as Fitzsimons paused in his fighting toward him and turned the tide. The battle was brief, bout noteworthy, and will live in pugilistic annals. Fitzsimons tried once to rise from the mat, but sank back again in helplessness and heard himself counted out, where but a moment before he had all the better of it. "I will never fight again," sald the battle-scarred veteran of the ring, when he had sufficiently recovered to talk. "The fight was won fairly, and to the best man belongs the laurels." "You are the most dangerous man alive," said Jeffries in return, "and I consider myself lucky to have won when I did." Fitzsimmons had been fighting at a furious gait, cool and deliberate, and chopping the champion to pieces with the terrific rights and lefts that have made him famous, and the result was a surprise. Before sundown long lines of men formed on Valencla street and St. Julian avenue and awaited the opening of the two gates. At 8:45 p. m. the house was practically filled. There was no disorder, however, until 8 o'clock, when the crush became heavy, but 240 policemen handled the crowd well. The arc lights over the ring were turned on at 7:45 o'clock, by which time the bleachers, holding fully 5,000 people, were filled. A conservative estimate of the amount realized from the ticket sales places the sum at $35,000. FOOL WOMAN'S ESCAPADE. North Carolina Sheriffs Wife Plays Role of Mrs. Soffel. The talk of Greensboro, N. C., has been the sensational elopement of Mrs. Ida Stafford, wife of John E. Stafford, sheriff of Gullford county for 20 years, with J, E. Harding, one of the most prominent young men of the town. The first information Mr. Stafford had of the elopement came early Thursday morning when he awoke and found his wife missing. She had left where he could easily find it the following note: "Mr. Stafford—This letter is to tell you goodbye forever. I hope your life will be more satisfied in the future than it always has been. Be good to lay boys and don't let them leave you. Look after them, not for my sake, but theirs and yours. Don't break up house, but try to get some good woman to keep house for you and hold you and all of our things together. I don't want you to feel that you are to blame, for you are not. Don't try to find me and don't blame Daisey (a married adopted daughter). Please don't make any talk about my going or speak of it to the boys any more than you can help. I do not wish you to ever give me another thought. I am not worthy of any good thoughts, especially of my dear boys. You will find my money, also my rings and other things in the pistol box. My engagement ring I will send later. Do with them as you wish. Do not make my going away a subject of talk, but remember me as among the dead, weak but not foul. Goodbye forever. IDA." At five o'clock Friday afternoon word was received from the Virginia Pilot that the eloping couple were in Norfolk. The matter was referred to Chief of Police Scott, who immediately informed Mr. Stafford. Upon consultation with the state attorney he went before Magistrate J. M. Wolfe and swore out a warrant against J. E. Harding for "Fraudulently and unlawfully kidnapping and carrying out of the state one Ida Stafford, contrary to the statutes in such cases made and provided and against the peace and dignity of the state." Stafford later swore out warrants against both parties for forcifications and adultery. He says he's not satisfied at getting his wife. He grants Harding. Stafford declares, that he had no intimation whatever of his wife's mediatation of Harding, and had always looked upon him all a clever and good friend. He boarded at the Stafford home for several months, and the entire family was very fond of him. SUBSCRIPTION RATE 8.

THE gathering in Atlanta week will mark an epoch in race's history. THE ambition of every Ne youth should be for the possess on of a piece of property. BELCHER won out at Brunswick, and we congratulate him and the loyal party men of the Eleventh. SOME of our policemen, as a general thing assume more authority than allowed them. Such men should be reported. If the street cars of the city were provided with fenders the numerous accidents that have occurred would no doubt been averted, especially that horrible killing of two weeks ago. The company, for the safety of its patrons and the public, should add this needed life saver to its cars. It is a great mistake when certain of our white friends claim that they pay for the education of the Negro. Let these friends study the manner in which the educational tax is levied and they will soon become aware of the fact that the Negro is credited with more than they will be willing to admit. Our recorder of the police court seemed to have been offended because a witness in his court in alluding to a colored man, called him "mister," and rebuked him for so doing. For all positions of this kind it is necessary to have men of broad mind without taint of smallness. How often have we wished for a recorder of lawyer Wilson's calibre. In many of our sister cities, the Negro business men have organizations at which affairs which most concern our people in a business way are discussed and they send representatives to the Business League which meets annually. If our business men are not desirous of organizing they could come together and talk over affairs that affect us in a business way. Such a gathering would not be without a germ for good. The matter should be considered favorably and an early meeting held. THE management of THE TRIBUNE is proud of the fact that there are a number of subscribers who are loyal to the paper. As soon as their time expires they do not wait to be called upon, but send or call at the office and settle for the same; there are others also whom we never send a collector to, but matters not what their bill amounts to, call and settle. We are proud of these patrons, and too, we generally find them among those of our people who are eager for race progress and willing to add their mite toward this end. DURING the week a colored man was lynched in Bryan county. He was accused of assaulting a white woman, a crime that we extremely abhor. He was captured near Pooler and nearly shot to death and allowed to remain the night without medical attention. The next morning he was taken to Bryan county and lynched. The colored man in whose house he was found has been arrested for harboring him. We do not object to the arrest of this man, especially if he did so with the knowledge of the crime charged to the dead man, but it seems passing strange that nothing has been said, or no effort made to apprehend the lynchers who are undoubtedly known. THE TRIBUNE deplores the fact of the absence of that public spirit and ambition for race enterprises among our people in this city. There are opportunities at hand that would result in great benefits to the promoters if they would only come together and inaugurate methods and take hold of them. We will cite one instance: We have in this community nearly a dozen colored physicians who are enjoying very lucrative practice, but to our shame not a drug store. Why can't these physicians come together and put in about fifty dollars a piece which, with the credit they have, would equip a first-class drug store that would without the least fear, receive the loyal support of the colored citizens, besides that paying a dividend to the investors, and at the same time giving employment to several members of the race. If the physicians feel that they are not financially able to conduct such a business, if they will give their moral support and influence, they are other citizens who would readily invest. Gentlemen, it is up to you I will you allow this golden opportunity go by without grasping hold of it! Act now and let the people see that you are anxious for that which will lend aid and dignity to the race. HERE have been much complaint about the uncalled for treatment of colored people at the new Union station. This is caused by the offensiveness of the policemen. THE TRIBUNE is under the impression that the undue zeal of these policemen is not warranted by the requirements of the company and take this method of informing them of the same. The offensiveness of these officers was noticeable more so this week than any other time since the opening of the new station. They should be made to understand their duty and to enforce it in a becoming manner. If there is any breach whatever in the conduct of any colored person around the station, it is not necessary for these officers to approach such persons as if they were brutes and void of all sensibilities. They are appointed to maintain order, not only in action but in words and they should themselves set the pace for it. Their action on Monday has called forth much protest, especially from the excursionists. If such actions continue, it will be the means of making these excursions unpopular because the people will be afraid to come here on account of the treatment they receive. It is hoped that the management of the station will take this matter under consideration and have it remedied. It is to be deplored that certain of our young men have recently acted in a manner that is not conducive to their best welfare and retrogressive to the prospects of other young colored men in trusted positions. It is a fact that men of the other race, in trusted positions, have acted worse than the ones we note, but in this case all Negroes are alike, and if one commits an offense, the entire race is to be blamed for it. Our young colored men have too much at stake to act other than in a manner that would add to their best interest. THE management of THE TRIBUNE feels proud of the number of enconiums extended by friends. We certainly give employment to a large number of persons, more than all of the other Negro papers of this section of the state combined, and feel that we deserve such enconium and the hearty support that is being given. City of Odd-Fellowship. Some weeks ago the editor of the Odd-Fellows column of the Age, inserted an article which we felt reflected on the Odd-Fellows of the city and myself. This was refuted in the issue two weeks ago and in the last week's issue of the Age, the editor explained himself more fully as follows: "The editor of this column rises to kindly say, for the benefit of the fraternity in the city of Odd-Fellowship, that Brother Sol. C. Johnson mistakes our kindly remarks last week for an intentional reflection. The Editor has always entertained the most intimate feelings for the brethren in Savannah and his remarks in the last issue of The Age were rightly intended as a refutation of the rumor that there was on foot a movement in the Forest City to have the D. G. L to nullify an order of the honorable superior court of Fulton county. Instead of saying things uncomplimentary to Savannah or Bro. Johnson, the Editor vouchsafed that Savannah would be found on the right side of every question, signally battling for the principles enobling the Order. Col. Johnson is not mistaken when he says that Savannah can boast of the strongest and best lodges in the state composed of the most loyal and patriotic membership. Savannah is rightfully named the city of Odd-Fellowship in fraternal parlance, and has more members of the links than the entire fifth congressional district. "Savannah in common with every other city and section desires representation upon the executive committee. This ambition in each and every community is both laudable and praise worthy. This institution is purely a democracy in government, where the humblest cross road Odd Fellow has the same inherent right to aspire to the highest place of honor and responsibility held out to the brethren. While the Editor will be proud to help Savannah at Brunswick as he has been doing for the past ten years he does not recognize the superior right of any section or community to representation upon the board because of its geographical location or numerical strength. Savannah has little reason to complain about representation. The Editor does not remember an intermission of two years at any time within the last ten years when Savannah did not have representation. Community interest nor favorship should cut any figure in the selection of the officers of the Grand Lodge. The officers should be selected wholly upon the ground of their peculiar fitness to fill the places to which they aspire, regardless of the community in which they live. One thing can be said to the everlasting credit of Savannah, that no officer elected from there has ever brought the name of the order into disrepute. A Savannah Odd Fellow has ever stole a cent of the order's money within the knowledge of the editor. Can the other cities say so? The worse thing that can be said about Savannah, is the boys will not work together for the common interest of the city. They will come to the D. G. L., with too many candidates inspite of Moses. These remarks are made in a most friendly spirit, and I trust they will be accepted as a timely admonition coming from a friend who went down gallantly at Valdosta, holding up one of Savannah's candidates." After-throwing justly desired bouquets at us, the editor jabbed us in the ribs. He justly accused us of not acting in unison at the Grand Lodge meetings, to which we plead guilty, but hope to profit by past experience, and expect that at this session to show the brethren what a united delegation can do. We are hoping for a grand and harmonious session, like that of the Masons and the K. of P., and expect to have it if every delegate would only keep before him the best welfare of our Grand United Order. Her Death is Mourned. The intelligence of the death of Mrs. Georgia Palmer Blair at Brooklyn, N. Y., last week was a surprise to her friends and relatives everywhere. No more estimable young woman has ever gone out of Augusta. Reared here, she was known and loved by a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. She was educated in the schools of Augusta and the Atlanta University. Graduating from the university, as Miss Palmer, she accepted first a position in the Dinah Watts Pace Orphanage at Covington, Ga, and later in the Walker Institute at Augusta, where she was secretary of the faculty. During the holidays of 1900 she was married to Rev. Johnson F. Blair and took up her residence at White Plains, N. Y., where Rev. Blair was postoring. Recently Rev. Blair was called to Brooklin, at which place Mrs. Blair died. The remains were brought to Augusta for interment, the funeral taking place on Tuesday afternoon from Tabernacle, Baptist Church, being conducted by Dr. C. T. Walker, assisted by Revs D. D. Crawford, D. S. Klugh, S. X Floyd and Henry Jackson. A large concourse of friends was present to pay the last tribute of respect to one loved no less in death than in life. If it be true that the good die young, there can be no satisfaction in the reflection that the world is deprived of one more power for good, for a life such as this was doubly beneficial to the seared old world amid the conflicts and toils of which it stood a beacon, always clear to guide and direct all who live under it to higher and better things. The benediction of the faithful has come to the soul no longer burdened with worldly cares and a life of usefulness, of goodness, of nobility has closed. To the grief-stricken husband, and relatives, the sympathy of the whole community is extended. —Georgia Baptist. Mrs. Blair was well known in this city and the knowledge of her, death was quite a shock to those who knew her. Children's Day. On Sunday evening last, Children's day was celebrated at Cypress Slash Congregational church. The recitations and declamations were good and full of instruction, it seemed that each boy and girl put themselves into the exercise. The music was also good. The addresses by Brothers Phabian and Douglass were both pointed and instructive. They contained many helpful thoughts for the young men. After collection the benediction thus closed the evening, and every one went away feeling that it was good to have been there. Enterprising Institution. Enterprising Institution.

Cargile preached. Hymn 32, "Come ye that love the Lord," was sung by the choir. Text, John 14:2; subject, "Not as Christ's Gifts." As usual it was a good discourse. It showed how God's blessings once bestowed upon man remained; that we as Christians should not give grudgingly on-time or money, but give them freely; that whatever man gives us is not Christ's gifts, for what man gives may be taken away, but Christ's gifts remain. At 8 p. m. the attendance was very small on account of the rain. Rev. Cargile delivered an excellent sermon. His text was Heb. 4:1; subject, "Faith in God." His sermon was interesting throughout and showed what a happy life a Christian can live, if he places his faith in God. He is responsible for every sermon he hears. But there are some people who go to church and pay no attention to what the preacher says; nevertheless they are held accountable for all they hear. A very high compliment was paid to St. Philip's Sunday school, at the Sunday School Convention which was held at Summertown last week. Every delegate from St. Philip's was elected to the mo t important positions in the convention. That speaks very highly of the church, and is quite a compliment to her delegates. The regular monthly love feast was held last night. To-morrow is communion day. The following services will be held to-morrow: Prayer-meeting at 5:30 a m Preaching at 11 a m. Sunday school at 2 p. m.

We feel it our duty to make an explanation in regard to the wild rumors of the people and the exaggerated statements of the daily papers, concerning the row on the excursion given by this club to Beaufort, S.C., on Monday July 28, on steamer Clifton. The row was not started nor carried on by the club's members at all, but was done by some of those who went as passengers on the steamer, and while we deeply deplore the occurrence as it occurred, we want the public to know that we did everything in our power to prevent it. It is a known fact, that it is a hard matter to tell just who will raise a row in a crowd, but those whom we suspect would create a disturbance was rejected passage on the boat. But as careful as we were several of them whom we did not suspect of any disorderly conduct, were the ones to create the disturbance. The committee and also the club's members with the combined assistance of its friends could not quell the row until some harm had been done, but all of those implicated in the affair will have to answer the charge against them to the Carolina courts, and it is the intention of the club to see that they are given the full penalty of the law. We also wish to express our thanks to our friends who assisted us so nobly in trying to keep good order during the trip. The club is composed of some of the best boys of the city and they desire to inform the public through the columns of THE TRIBUNE that they are altogether blindless for the occurrence, and wish to correct the wrong impression that has gone abroad.

In about three more weeks the Grand Chapter will meet in Americans. It will be a grand session. The inspiration for good from the grand Lodge should vibrate in every brother's breast.

The non-taxpayers are an everlasting, draw back to our race, and until we rid our race of that class we will be considered a back number. No honest, intelligent and race-loving Negro would refuse to pay their taxes, a duty that all citizens should perform. We must strive to do more toward elevating our race. Educate the brain, teach the hand to work and uphold law and order. Do the things that are pleasing to God and man, and by so doing we will help to solve the race problem. Mr. A. Pridgen, our popular turpentine operator, made a flying trip to Jacksonville, Fla. Mr. Pridgen is one of our leading turpentine men of this county.

A Wilkesbarre, Pa., special says: There are indications that serious trouble is imminent in the anthracite region. Rioting is reported from several points. At Shamokin one thousand men, women and children assembled at the Mineral Company's Cameron collieries Tuesday evening and hooted and cursed non union men as they quit work. A delegation of hers stared several sub-bosses as they entered town. Chief Burgess Thomas and the police charged the crowd and put them to flight. The coal company officials say they will ask for troops if there is a continuance of the attempts to annoy the workmen. Two crowds of strikers numbering fully 3,000 men, women and children, collected at all the Reading and Union Company operations, between Mount Carmel and Shamokin, Tuesday evening and hurled stones and sticks at the non-union men. Six of the latter were captured by the mob near Richards' colliery and were badly pummeled. On promising to remain away from the colliery until the strike ends they were liberated A crowd of fifteen hundred men and boys prevented the resumption of work at the Wanke washery at Duryeaun Tuesday morning. A number of men came down from Scranton to work at the washeries. They were at once surrounded by a threatening crowd. The burgess was appealed to to protect the men, who wanted to work, but he thought he would not be able to do it, and he telephoned to Sheriff Jacobs. The sheriff sent four deputies to the scene, but when they arrived the mob had dispersed. The men who had been hired to work at the washery were badly frightened and when the train for Scranton came along they jumped aboard and returned to that place. A volley of stones followed them. The operator of the washery says he will not make another attempt to resume operations. Mitchell to Begin Tour. President Mitchell will start this week to fill engagements he has to deliver addresses before United Mine Workers' assemblies in different parts of the anthracite region. Ever since Mr. Mitchell established his headquarters in Wilkesbarre he has been besieged by committees from various "locals" who wanted him to name a date on which he could deliver an address. Owing to press of other matters, the chief of the United Mine Workers had to decline all such invitations. But now that he finds that he has a little time to spare, he will try and fulfill some of his engagements. It is said he will visit the Schuylkill region first and deliver addresser at Shenandoah and Mahanoy City. BATTLE FOUGHT IN HAITI Firmin'a Forces Repulsed by Small Army Under Gen. Colin. Acting Secretary Hill, Monday, received the following cablegram from United States Minister Powell, dated at Port au Prince: "General Colin left Port au Prince yesterday (Sunday) 'morning with 2,000 men to repel Firmin's army, which was landed from the Haltien naval, vessel commanded by Admiral Killick. After a skirmish, which ensued, the forces of Firmin retreated to the war ship. Colin returned to the city yesterday afternoon. The information is that twenty were killed and sixty wounded. The number killed on the other side was still unknown and there was much firing in the city. The Machias has arrived at Cape Haltien." BILLY'S CAMPAIGN FUND. Senator is Assured of, $400,000 to Begin His Race for Re-Election. A Washington dispatch says: Senator Mason is assured of a fund of $400,000 to commence his campaign for re-election. The Cuban-American League, with a membership of 400,000, has sent out an alarm circular urging its members to unite in every legitimate way to promote the candidacy of Mr. Mason. The members may be taxed $1 each should the situation require it. POLICE RESCUED KITCHENER. Enthusiastic London Mob Made It Warm for Conqueror of Boers. Lord Kitchener, who has been largely lost to public view since his triumphant re-entry into London July 12, received an unexpected demonstration of London enthusiasm Friday when a cab in which he visited the city was actually mobbed by enthusiasts close to the Bank of England, and the conqueror of South Africa had to be resued by the police. And Americans Contending For Small-Strip of Ground in the Pacific Ocean. A cablegram received at the state department Monday from United States Minister Buck, at Tokyo, says that the Japanese minister of foreign affairs informed him that a Japaeese naval vessel would leave at once for Marcus island. The purpose of her going was not to make trouble, but to prevent it. An official of the foreign office was to go on the vessel, and would carry a letter to Captain Rosehill, cabled from the state department here to Minister Buck, advising the captain not to make any disturbance or to resort to violence to obtain possession of the island, with possible loss of life and involving international complications. If the captain would observe this advice, the department said for its part it would endeavor to settle the claim to Marcus Island diplomatically. Captain Rosehill is reported to have sailed from Honolulu for Marcus island in a schooner July 11, and it is, therefore, probable that he already is at Marcus island or very near there. WILSON'S HIDE SAVED. President of Nicaragua Commutes Death Sentence of Fillibuster. The life of Dr. Russell Wilson, of Ohio, was captured with a revolutionist party in Nicaragua, has been saved through the representations of Minister Corea, of that country. A cablegram was received at the state department Monday from Chester Donaldson, United States consul at Managua, Nicaragua, dated the 26th Instant, as follows: "As a courtesy to the United States and out of sympathy for the mother, the president will commute Russell Wilson's death sentence." Wilson was one of several Americans who joined a fillbustering expedition which landed at Monkey Point, near Bluefields, early in July. Most of the party were captured or killed. Wilson would have been summarily executed but for the interposition of Senor Corea, the Nicaraguan minister here. Having secured a stay of proceedings and a guarantee of a legal trial, the minister has now induced President Zelyea to commute the death sentence imposed upon Wilson by courtmartial. It is presumed that the commutation is to imprisonment for a time and then expulsion from Nicaragua. MANY SWEDES WITH US. Uncle Sam's Domain. Being Rapidly Populated by Foreigners. The transport lines at Copenhagen, Denmark, are coping with the greatest rush of Scandavian emigration to the United States since the eighties. Every outgoing vessel, Scandavian or American, is crowded. The emigrants, who are mostly of an excellent class, are leaving on account of hard times in Sweden and are bound chiefly to the western states, where they will engage in agricultural pursuits. The total number of emigrants which left this port for the United States during the nine months ending with March, 1902, were: Denmark, 3,333; Norway, 3,049, and Sweden, 15,601. ESTIMATES FOR MISSISSIPPI. Commission Reports Amounts Needed For River Improvements in 1904. The Mississippi river commission, having in charge the work of improvement of the river from the mouth of the Ohio to the head of the passes, has submitted its report to the chief of engineers. The estimates for the fiscal year 1994 are as follows: Continuing work under the commission, $2,000,000; protection of hauks at Caruthersville, $30,000; harbor at Memphis, $50,000; harbor at Greenville.Miss., $25,000; preservation of works at Della Point, La., $25,000; harbor at Natchez, Miss., and Vidalla, La., $100,000; rectification of the Red river and Atchafalaya river, Louisiana, $30,000; harbor at New Orleans, $300,000. WOMEN-DEFY GOVERNMENT. Bloodshed Imminent in France Over Religious Question. The Catholic women of France are aroused over the application of the law of associations and a serious situation prevails in many sections of the republic. In the country around Brest the people have taken up arms and are determined to resist any attempt at the forcible execution of the orders of the premier to close unauthorized schools. TEACHERS WERE WARNED. Advice Unheeded and They Met Death at Hands of Filipinos. A copy of a Manila paper has been received at the war department giving information concerning the trip of the teachers who were murdered in the island of Cebu some time ago. According to a report made by Inspector Ross, of Cebu, the chief constabulary, the four teachers lost were warned by him not to go into the interior, but they insisted that it was safe and took the risk. The Siberian railroad traverses the greatest-wilderness that steam has ever been set to conquer. The taming of our Western prairies and mountains was a small task compared to this subjection of the Siberian wastes. An experience on a.train, related by a writer in a Vladivostok paper, reminds one of the early stage-coach days beyond the Mississippi, and seems even more violent because the participants in the adventure were not rough plainsmen and mountaineers, but a lady and a nobleman. When the train pulled up at Tataskar in Manchuria, a Manchu noble, who had bullied all his fellow passengers, alighted at the station restaurant, after warning them that he would decapitate any of them who took his seat. During his absence a smartly dressed young Russian lady entered the car, and despite the alarmed expostulations of its occupants; calmly appropriated the seat. When the noble returned he flew into a passion and advanced threateningly with his curved saber drawn. But the young woman coolly covered him with a shining revolver. The Manchu noble surrendered, and sat at her feet for the rest of the journey. LANGUAGE. "It's wonderful," said the meditative man, "how one small word, insignificant in itself, may induce an endless train of thought, speaking volumes in fact." "Yes," replied the caustic man. "Take the word 'but,' for instance, when a woman says, 'Of course, it's none of my business, but.'"—Philadelphia Press. TIME TO DODGE "That is Ajax defying the lightning." "Well," answered the man with the timorous manner; "there's always a strong chance that lightning won't hit anybody. If the same amount of electricity had been after him in theattery of an automobile I don't believe Ajax would have been so courageous."—Washington Star. TYBEE BY THE SEA.

Use Buckingham's Dye Report Current that Atlantic Coast Line Will Absorb the Louisville and Nashville. A Baltimore, dispatch says: It is impossible to obtain an authoritative expression or opinion on the rumor that negotiations are pending looking to the absorption by the Atlantic Coast Line of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, which is controlled by J. Pierpont Morgan & Co. In financial circles the general impression prevails that the report is well founded. "I think Mr. Morgan has already practically turned the road over to the Coast Line," said a member of one of the leading Baltimore banking firms. "The two roads do not parallel anywhere, and have a physical connection at Augusta, Ga., through the Georgia railroad, which runs from Atlanta to Augusta, and which is leased jointly by them. "Such a deal would eliminate that hostility in Tennessee and Kentucky which aroused the rumor that the Louisville and Nashville will be merged with the Southern railway. These roads parallel and are competitors in both states, and, following the report, Governor McMillin, of Tennessee, has threatened to call a special session of the legislature to pass a law that would prevent a merger. It is thought that When Mr. Morgan purchased the Louisville and Nashville he had in view its transfer to the Coast Line. Morgan & Co. manage the Southern railway, and have been working in complete harmony with the Coast Line. The absorption of the Louisville and Nashville would give the Coast Line control of the railroad situation in the section southeast of the Mississippi river." MOTHERS HORRIBLE DEED. In Drunken Frenzy She Murdered Her Three Little Girls. Richard Meade, a night watchman, on returning to his home in Brooklyn, N. Y., Saturday, found his two little daughters dead from strangulation, caused by twine tightly tied around their throats. A third child was unconscious from the same cause, and his wife lay in a comatose condition on the floor, apparently suffering from alcoholism combined with poison. According to the police, the woman was, of intemperate habits, and the supposition is that she strangled the children while in a delirious condition. The oldest child was three years of age. Her body and that of her one-year-old sister were lying on the bed with several yards of stout twine about their throats. The other little one was still alive, and was removed to the hospital with the mother. The babo's injuries are probably fatal, as the slender cord had cut deep into its throat. PRESIDENT APPROVES. Satisfied With Findings of Courtmarrial in Three Cases. The president has retuited to the war department the cases of Major Edwin S. Glenn, Fifth infantry; First Lieutenant Jullan P. Gaujot, Eighteenth cavalry, and Lieutenant Northian G. Cook, Philippine scouts. Glenn was found guilty by the court and sentenced to be suspended for one month and be fined $a0; Baujot was found guilty and sentenced to suspension for three months, to forfeit $50 per month during that period; Cook was acquitted. The president makes no comment whatever, beyond the approval in the two cases and disapproval in the one. Glenn was tried for administering the water cure to the presidente de Igliaras, and Gaujot for administering the ciree to three natives. Leutenant Cook was tried on the charge of ordering three natives to be shot by the Mueabebe scouts. General Wheeler Visits Paris: According to a London dispatch.

Hôse Thief Meets Death at Hands of Four Angrered Neighbors. Four negroes, named Tom Patterson, Webster Edwards, Sam Pelerson and Ellijah McCloskey, all small farmers residing in the vicinity of Shreveport, La., constituted themselves a lynching party one night recently and after riddling the body of Russell Taylor, a negro horse thief, with bullets, dragged his body to the Red river and hurled it in. The affair was only brought to light Saturday night—when three negroes were placed under arrest on the charge of murder. They were jailed in Shreveport. NOTHING. WRONG FOUND.

A large number of prominent members of the different Orders with which I have been connected have been cured by the use of Peruna of cases of catarrh of the stomach and head; also in kidney complaint and weakness of the pelvic organs.
