VOL. XIX. CENTENNIAL CELEBRATED Exercises, Commemorative of the Accession of Immense Territory One Hundred Years Ago, Begin With Naval Review. Favored with ideal weather, which made the naval review on the river a brilliant function, the series of three days' celebrations in commemoration of the transfer of the province of Louisiana from France to the United States was inaugurated at New Orleans Friday. It was in the Crescent City, on December 20, a century ago that the dramatic scene was enacted which, in Napoleon's language, gave the American republic an empire, and in the same room of the Cabildo in which Governor Calborne and General Wilhinson received the transfer of the mighty territory, which only twenty days before the French had accepted from Spain, the events of that memorable day will have a ceremonial duplication. So indissolubly linked are Louisiana and New Orleans with the historic details of the transfer that two years ago the Louisiana legislature authorized an official celebration of the transfer. It was desired to make the occasion of national and international significance. The Louisiana Historical Society was given control of the ceremonies. Invitations to participate were extended to congress, the federal government and the president, and through the secretary of state France and Spain as prime figures in the changes of Louisiana's sovereignty. Congress failed to pass the legislation necessary to send an official delegation of senators and representatives, but the navy department ordered Admiral Wise, with four ships, to be present, and the French and Spanish governments accepted the invitation and arranged to be represented, the former by her ambassador and the fine cruiser Julien de la Graviere, and the latter by her consul and one of her war ships, the Rio de la Plata. The management of the Louisiana Purchase exposition gave the enterprise its cordial support and promptly accepted the invitation to its president and directors to attend. Under auspicious conditions the carrying out of the historical society's program began at noon Friday with the review of the fleet. The six war ships were gayly dressed with the flags of the nations, and presented a fine marine spectacle. when the United States ship Stranger put off from Canal street, carrying the governor and his staff, in full regalia, and distinguished guests who had been invited to accompany him. President David R. Francis, of the Louisiana Purchase exposition, and members of his board reached the city on a belated train, but the governor's party waited, for them, and they were enabled to participate in one of the most interesting features of the celebration. After the review, the Stranger anchored near the Minneapolis, and Admiral Wise, entering a cutter from the flag ship, was rowed over to the governor's yacht to pay his respects to the state and executive representatives of the two nations, which at different times owned the territory. The social event of the celebration was the ball given Friday night in the French opera, which the naval officers, the French ambassador, the Spanish consul, President Francis and party, the governor, mayor and state and city officials and party leaders of New Orleans and a number of other cities attended. Jury Failed to Agree The jury in the case of J. E. Starke, at Jacksonville, Fla., charged with the murder of John F. Angel, failed to agree on a verdict, and was discharged after being out nineteen hours. Starke will be tried again in February. His plea was temporary insanity. HAY COMING SOUTH. Secretary Slated for a Visit to Thomas asylle, Ga., to Recuperate. A Washington special says: Secretary of State Hay will probably run down to Georgia for a rest immediately after the 1st of January. He has been confined o home by a very stubborn cold for some, days, and is considering the advisability of a short rest away from the scene of his labors. If he leaves Washington he will go to Thomasville, where he will be the guest of Colonel Oliver Payne at the beautiful Payne home on the outskirts of Georgia's famous winter resort. The Savannah Tribune. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 26. 1903 A COLLEGE HOLQCAUST. Panic-Strioken Negro Girl Students Jump to Death from Burning Central Tennessee University. Four persons are known to have been killed and, perhaps, thirty others injured, twelve of them fatally, in a fire at Nashville, Tenn., Friday night, which consumed the Central Tennessee college for young negro women, a department of Walden university. It is possible that the ruins may contain the bodies of other victims. The property loss is estimated at $25,000. The known dead: Stella Addison, Port Gibson, Miss.; Mattie L. Moore, Huntsville, Ala.; Sallie Dade, Hopkinsville, Ky.; Nangle Johnson, Hattiesburg, Miss. Fatally injured: Eleanor Moore, white, preceptress, Chicago; Lady B. Knox, Greenville, Miss.; Minnie Alston, Covington, Tenn.; Bertha Monford, Chicago; Lulu Terry, McMinnville, Tenn.; Ernest McCleary, Fernandina, Fla.; Lea Millock, St. Louis; Mannie Harris, Maysville, Ky.; Mannie Booze, Clarksdale, Miss.; Victoria Miller, Anchoragt, Ky. Fire broke out about 11:05. The building was four stories high, without fire escapes. It was occupied by about sixty students, who were asleep when the alarm was given. The wildest panic ensued, the women and girls rushing, screaming, to the windows, from which they jumped in droves. The dead and injured lying in heaps where they fell, to be fallen upon by those following them. When the flames, were first discovered they seemed to entirely envelop the building, and it is considered almost certain that some of the terrorized occupants were overcome by the smoke before reaching the windows. CRIBB EXPIATES CRIME. Coffee County, Georgia, Murderer, Hanged In Douglas Jail. In the jail at Douglas, Ga., Friday, at 1:40 o'clock Lee Cribb was hanged. His neck was broken and death was instantaneous. The crime for which he suffered was unprovoked and without shadow of excuse. Becoming offended because his wife left him, he declared his purpose of leaving Nicholls, but that he intended leaving a record that would cause him to be remembered. In furtherance of this purpose he loaded himself with whisky and his pistol with missiles. The first place reached was Teston's store. Here he commenced shooting at Teston and at Courson, his father in law. They managed to escape unhurt. The marshal, attracted by the firing was not so fortunate. After killing the marshal Cribb next opened fire upon a little boy, Emmet White, driving in on a load of wood. The boy fell on the wagon at the first fire, and though he beaten Cribb not to shoot again, his petition fell upon deaf ears. After killing White, Cribb proceeded along the street with every one getting out of his way, until he met a man with a Winchester rifle, with a full magazine. Forcing the man to give him the gun, he went to the depot, opened fire upon the engineer and fireman of a train, wounding the latter and compelling the former to pull out. As he turned from the car he came face to face with Mr. Hart and attempted to shoot him. Before he could do so he himself was shot and fell. The wound, however, was slight, the gun being loaded with small shot. As soon as he fell he was seized and hurried to Douglas and placed in jail to prevent being lynched. He was tried last spring, convicted and sentenced to hang in May, but by the efforts of his counsel his head has been kept out of the noose until now. FOR ALLEGED LAND FRAUD8 Wealthy San Francisco 'Real Estate Man Is Arrested at Washington. John A. Bonson a wealthy San Francisco real estate operator, charged by the interior department with being the head of alleged land frauds extending over a dozen western states and territories, was arrested Friday on a charge of bribery at the Winfield hotel in Washington by Secret Service Officer John A.

Alexandretta Affair Amicably Settled, and Consul Davies Returns to His Post of Duty on Warship. A special from Constantinople says: The porte has agreed to the demands of the United States government and has ordered the governor of Alexandretta to make ample apology to Consul Davies for the insults and assault to which he was subjected by the police of Alexandretta, while he was escorting a naturalized American citizen named Attarin, who had been liberated from prison through the intervention of Mr. Davies. United States Minister Leishman arrived at a friendly understanding in the premises with Towfik Pasha, the Turkish foreign minister, who agreed to the demands of Minister Leishman. The porte notified the United States legation orally and in writing of the instructions telegraphed to the vail of Aleppo to the governor of Alexandretta to call on Consult Davies immediately upon his arrival at Alexandretta and offer a complete apology. The porte has also promised to punish the police officials who assaulted Consul Davies, and will allow Attarin to depart unhindered. The United States cruiser San Francisco, with Rear Admiral Cotton, left Belirut Friday evening for the purpose of taking Consul Davies back to Alexandretta arrived at Constantinople Sunday, and if the Turkish government carries out the program it has formulated the Alexandretta incident may be considered closed. It is felt there that delay or complications are not likely, but Rear Admiral Cotton has received instructions to meet all eventualities. LET COLOMBIA STRIKE FIRST. Secretarw Moody advises Naval Commanders in 1stmian Waters. "Let Colombians take the initiative and strike the first blow," is the restraining key note of specific instructions which Secretary Moody has cabled to the American naval commanders in isthmian waters. The secretary has taken active hold in the shaping of the naval policy on the isthmus, and from now on the instructions, whether to naval or marine officers, will as far as possible be prepared at his personal direction. It was announced Saturday that while the situation on the isthmus was in no way alarming to the Washington government, it was sufficiently delicate to compel careful diplomatic handling. For this reason secrecy has been enjoined on officials in the department regarding the operations of ships and marines. The only official information on the subject will be given out at the direction of the secretary. HIRED TO KILL WOMAN.

They were favorable to all officials except the county commissioners, who were severely criticised and charged with gross carelessness, illegalities and incompetence. The report does not charge wilful criminality, but says: "We think that every fair-minded man will indorse the assertion that the county commissioners are beyond any doubt incompetent to administer the most financial interests committed to their charges." SLEW HIS·WHOLE FAMILY Derby, Despondent Over Dire Poverty, Shoots Wife; Three Children, and then Commits Suicide. At Cleveland, Ohio, early Sunday morning, Roscoe W. Derby, a machinist, about forty-five years of age, exterminated his family by shooting his wife, his three children and then himself. The crime is believed to have been due to despondency over the impoverished condition of the family purse and the near approach of Christmas. The crimes were extraordinary in their thoroughness, and there was evidently no hitch in their enactment. A revolver was the weapon used. The wife was killed first, while sleeping at her husband's side in bed; two of the children were killed as they ran through the house in the darkness early morning, endeavoring to escape their merciless parent. The third child was killed in its bed, after its elder brother and sister had been killed. The dead: Riscoe W. Derby, his wife, Della; Haroff, aged 8; Alice, aged 7; Thomas, aged 5. The first knowledge of the crime was communicated in a letter written by Derhy to a friend, who lived not far away, and which was sent by special delivery. The letter is to the effect that when it had been received the Derhy family would be dead. When the friend hurried to the house Sunday morning, all that had been promised was seen to have been fulfilled. RUSSIA IS MORE DEFIANT. As Time Passes Situation in Far East Grows More Critical. Reuter's Telegram Company, in London, has learned that considerable anxiety exists in the best informed circles of the British capital regarding the possible outcome of the situation in the Far East. Fears are, it is said, expressed that the Russian government may have overstepped the bounds which would make a continuation of peaceful negotiations with Japan possible. It may be regarded as quite certain, it asserts, that Japan will not accept the principles of the last Russian note, which are altogether at variance with Japan's main contentions and that Japan's reply must necessarily be cast in this sense. Apart from the delicate state of the negotiations between the two nations, Reuer says it is also known that Russia is assuming a more defiant attitude, and the outlook may be regarded a more gloomy than it hitherto has been, although it cannot be said that the resources of diplomacy have been completely exhausted. The statement concludes by saying that there is as yet no actual news of fresh developments, and that no ultimatum has been sent by Japan to Russia. GOVERNOR PUMMELS JURIST. Chief Executive of Arkansas Strikes Member of Supreme Court. At Hope, Ark., Saturday, during the joint discussion by the three candidates for the democratic nomination for governor, a personal encounter occurred between two of the candidates, Governor Jeff Davis and Associate Justice Carroll D. Wood, of the supreme court. Governor Davis struck Judge Wood on the side of the head, causing blood to flow freely. As Judge Wood attempted to retaliate, he was selzed and kept from reaching the governor. Later he disengaged himself and struck the governor on the arm. The two principals were arrested and placed under bond for their appearance in the mayor's court January, 15th. 'FRISCO ENTERS NEW ORLEANS. Arrangements Made to Use Tracks of the Southern Railway. Negotiations have been completed by the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad for a new alliance which will admit the Rock Island Trisco system to New Orleans, says a New York Herald dispatch. This plan has been worker out with the Southern railway and will save the Trisco from building a line from Memphis to Baton Rouge, which involved a possibility of antagonizing the Gould interests. "LIKE PAIR OF SUSPENDERS" Representative Gibson's Unique Illustration Agent the Tariff. When the house convened Wednesday consideration of the pensions appropriation bill was resumed in committee of the whole, .r. Gibson (rep. Tenn), being the first speaker. He said that the president had pursued a wiso and prudent course in the Panama situation. He declared the south was prospering, under republican tariff laws and would prosper under a republican Isthmian canal. He said the tariff was like a pair of suspenders, too thick in one place, too loose in others, but very needful just the same. ```markdown ``` FRIGHTEUL WRECK Of Fast Flyer on the 'Frisco System in Kansas. EIGHT LIVES SNUFFED OUT In Addition to Those Killed, Thirty-two People Were Injured, Some of Whom Will Die—An Open Switch the Cause. The Meteor, the fast train on the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad, which left Fort Worth, Texas, Sunday afternoon for Kansas City, was wrecked at Godfrey, 15 miles south of Fort Scott, Kansas, Monday morning. The train ran into a switch and all except the sleeper was derailed and turned over. Eight persons were killed and over thirty injured. When the train reached Godfrey, it was behind and running at full speed to make up time. The crew of a freight train, that had preceded the Meteor left the switch open, and the passenger train jumped the track and rolled down a slight embankment. All save the sleeper turned over and and so fast was the train running that the engine and forward baggage car went nearly 60 feet off the roadbed before it stopped. The sleeper remained upright and none of the passengers in this car were injured. The baggage car was completely wrecked and the smoker was badly damaged. Five of those killed were in the forward end of the smoker and four of them were killed instantly. A news agent, who was badly mangled, died on the relief train that carried the dead to Fort Scott. Engineer B. A. DeWees, of Fort Scott; Conductor Roy, of Topeka, and Fireman Bishard, of Fort Scott, were all instantly killed, and Express Messenger John Bell, of Kansas City, was seriously injured. Others of the crew and almost every passenger on the entire train, except those in the sleeper, who escaped with a sever's shake-up, were injured, some of them seriously. It was still dark when the wreck occurred, and the utmost confusion followed. It was some time before those of the crew who had escaped were able, with the passengers who were unhurt, to aid the injured. A wrecking crew carrying several physdians did not leave Fort Scott for the scene until several hours after the wreck occurred, and it was eleven o'clock before the dead and injured were removed to Fort Scott. The following were killed: George Hoyt, conductor; R. A. DoeWes, engineer; Theodore Bishard, fireman; James H. Twyman, Asa Moreland, Lon Carbin, Joe Carbin, John Brubaker; one unidentified man, whose body was thrown sixty feet into a cornfield. Fatally injured: Sheridan Kanable, B F. Garroway. Thirty-one others were more or less seriously hurt. Most of the injured were badly burned, as well as being malmed. The responsibility of the wreck is laid at the door of a brakeman of the freight crow who failed to flag the passenger train. He has disappeared. In the crash, the baggage car telescoped the engine and landed in a cornfield, while the smoother and two chair cars were piled in a mass on top of the engine. Seven Hurt In this Wreck. The southwestern limited express No. 1, on the Alabama Great Southern division of the Queen and Crescent route, running three hours late on account of the heavy holiday travel, collided head on with a freight near Cottondale, Ala., forty miles southwest of Hirningham at 3:30 o'clock Monday morning. Seven people were badly injured. Bank Teller Given Seven Years. James M. Edge, the bank teller, who embezzled about $110,000 of the funds' of the First National bank of Paterson, N. J., has been sentenced to imprisonment for seven years. GAYNOR PAYS BONDSMEN. Alleged "Pal" of Carter Makes Good the Sum of $40,000. Colonel John F. Gaynor, who fled to Quebec to escape trial in connection with the Savannah harbor, contract scandal and left his bodegmen in the lurch for $40,000, is reported to have made good the loss, to William B. Kirk. The latter visited Gaynor at Quebec recently and on returning to Syracuse N. Y., called a conference of the Gaynor family. Members of the then journeyed to Canada and of reimburses were follow- PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO. 11K W. St. Julian Street. Ga.'Phone 574.

THE State Central Committee meets in Atlanta next week. At this meeting arrangements will be made for the State convention. The attendance will undoubtedly be large. The citizens at large are loud in their commendation of Rev. R. H. Singleton for his excellent work, along with his faithful members in remodeling St. Philips Monumental church, the mother of African Methodism in Georgia. ANOTHER great man has given evidence in favor of the Negro. This time it is Mr. Andrew Carnegie. In a speech he has declared that the Negroes are a blessing to America. He further says: "How many, suggestions have been made to remove the Negroes to Africa? How many gentlemen have came to me with such suggestions? But what is the sense of these suggestions? "Take it down in South Africa. Great Britain is going to loose South Africa as sure as ever as we are living, all because the Dutch are increasing, the British are not, and the British cannot make the Kaffirs works. What would Britain give for nine million men as placable, as lovable as I contend the Negro is. The Negroes give us 11 000, 000 bales of cotton every year, and by their labor in the South give us a monopoly in this staple that makes us powerful all over the world." FOR the past several years it has been the purpose of certain ones to have the colored troops disbanded. Sentiment is now being prepared for this purpose upon the plea that by disbanding them the white troops would be greatly benefitted so for as supplies are concerned. The colored troops have never been burdenome on the state. The arms that they have are cast off ones and now effective, they have never enjoyed the benefits of camp life, etc., and in many other ways denied that which the white troops enjoy. With this curtailment even they are not wanted. The maintaining of the colored troops will not cause the whites to loose anything that is coming to them. Under the Dick bill the troops are supplied by the United States, and it is known that there is nothing meagre about that. Under the present administration the discipline and requirements of the troops are very rigid. These the colored troops have stood admirably and in fact they are in better condition so far as efficiency is concerned than many of the white troops. On this score no fault can be found with them, hence the plan to disband them as a whole. It has sometimes seemed as if the animosity displayed in the south toward President Roosevelt was due largely to his virtues, says The New York Tribune. Other Presidents had appointed negroes to office, but no president had ever taken as much pains to select negroes fitted for office as he. That fact seemed responsible for the ill feeling. Southern politicians could be content to see a few lower class negroes in federal office. They are rved for a horrible example and consolidated repactable white sentiment. It was easy to dismiss such recognition of the negro with a sneer, and say that was a sample of all that was to be hoped from the negro in politics. When, however, the President began filling the few offices he did give to negroes, white men of unquestioned character and ability, who in private relations had the respect and confidence of their white neighbors, he disturbed the comfortable, conventional understanding that the negro was incapable of doing credit to himself or his party. The white politicians of the baser sort would rather have half a dozen negro misfits in office than one Dr. Crum. Accordingly, they have done their best to discredit President Roosevelt with the Southern people by harping on every little incident that could awaken prejudice, in the hope of making impossible a continuance of his policy of recognizing merit, regardless of race, instead of dividing spoils on a radical basis and throwing a sop to a few negro workers. "In view of this industrious and long continued activity of abuse, it is refreshing to find a strong Democratic paper in the heart of the South pleading for justice to President Boevevelt. 'The Montgomery Evening Times' thinks that the South has overlooked Presiden. Rosevelt's beneficial work for the South, and believes that he has shown an unselfish and brave interest in the South's welfare, though it differs with him on many questions. It says that his appointments will more than stand comparison with the personnel of federal officers selected by former Republican Presidents, and declares: "It is not too much to admit that no President since the war between the States has in so large a measure seemed to cast aside his own political interests in order to serve his conception of the, needs of the Civil Service in the South." Ajax's Column. HON. JUDSON LYONS AND THE SAVANNAH PRESS. Because the Georgia member to the Republican National Committee attended a dinner, given by Senator Hanna to the committee, a few nights ago, the Special Correspondent of the Savannah Press sends his paper, at so much per word, a lot of stuff that is supposed to be witty, sarcastic and cutting. It is neither. It is simply a nauseous dose of littleness. It tells nothing about the dinner, the guests, the speeches, the menu, nothing at all that would interest busy men in a busy world. It is simply a sueer at a great representative of a great party from a great state. And why? Because he is not a white man. Too bad, isn't it that a negro should attend a dinner of representative men as an equal while the special correspondent of a great daily like the Savannah Press is not present even in the capacity of a reporter. He must get his news second-hand, except what can be gleaned standing at the door, color it to suit his paper and send it in. That's awful. Just think of it. A white man, a real white man, outside in the cold, while a colored man a real colored man dines amid warmth and splendor. It is no wonder he calls Mr. Lyons names. But to be serious. A great newspaper like the Press can better employ its staff and its space than in such articles as this under a scarehead. They do no good. The Hon. Judson W. Lyons was a guest at that dinner because his position entitled him to that honor; that position is the reward of long and arduous service in the cause of republicanism, and was given to him by white and colored Georgians, some of whom have done and are doing as much as the Press or its correspondent for the upbuilding of Georgia and our country. And as for that "prominent Democrat," who has gone back to the democratic fold, after a short period of sanity, because of Mr. Lyona's presence at the dinner, how did he ever get out of the democratic party? He ought be its standard bearer. He certainly knows how to express a southern democrat's idea of economics: You look out for the country, we'll look out for the Negro. "Or as he puts it himself-"To h—with the country—just keep the nigger down" And as somebody must look out for the country's welfare, brainy, successful men of every section expect the Republican party to do it. How well that party has done it's duty let the growth and wealth of the country tell. There is another man who was offended. A Judge Robinson of N. C. What is he doing on the National Committee of a party whose tenet and chief both declare in favor of equal opportunity to all men. Let him get out. He is like a great many others of his ilk; they want the honor of the position that the Republican party can give but they don't care to fight its battles unless they can select their comrades. Away with all such "Republicans for revenue only." You are either one of us or you are not. Face the issue squarely; you can't please every southern Democrat and help build up a Republican party at the same time. Mr. Cheatham is to be national committeeman from N.C. May be that had something to do with Judge Robinson's actions—Ajax. St Phillip Dots. Rev. Sims's text at 11 a.m. on Sunday was Acts 28:20, "For this cause therefore I have called for you to see you, and to speak with you, because that for the hope of Israel, I am bound with this chain." Subject "Paul's private council at Rome." This subject was a great one and Rev Sims gave a glowing account of Paul, and the congregation was delighted with his sermon. At 8 p.m. Rev. Sims again delivered a grand discussion to a large congregation. His text was Nehemiah 6:3 "I am doing a great work and can not come down;" subject "Nehemiah's mission." 1st, the cause of mission; 2nd, the agent of the mission; 3rd, the instrument of the mission; the means of the mission. Miss Waters of St. Phillips gave a dinner in the Ladies Exchange, for the poor on Christmas day and it was enjoyed very much by those who attended. It made their hearts glad that they were remembered by some friend of the poor. The members of St. Phillips wish their friends a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. We say this because our friends have done so much in assisting us in our church work in the past. St. Phillips Sunday School will have a Christmas tree during the holidays. Remember that St. Phillips is going to give a grand bazaar at Harris street hall, the latter part of February. If any of our friends have any thing to donate, just see Rev. Sims at the parsonage or the chairman, Mr. H. G. Nixon, at Hardee and Marshall grocery store, Gaston and Drayton streets. The following services will be held on Sunday: Prayer-meeting at 5:30 a. m.; preaching at 11; Sunday School at 3 p. m.; Christian Endeavor union meeting at 4:30 p. m.; preaching at 8 p. m.
