The Stranger who Died in the Inffrm-
airy Identified as a ThomasyiIIe Clerk.
Among the guests at the Harnett House
Yesterday was Charles E. b. Herman,
VINO came to this city for the purpose of
making an examination OF the effects OF
the stranger who died at the st. Joseph's
Iunrmary on Monday afternoon.
Mr.. Herman identified the property
as that Of Albert H. Halliday, a

and had employed during the tTO months
preceding July q as his clerk. Mr..
Herman gave Coroner Sheftali on the

A MINIsTERING ANGEL
Death OF Mrs. Mary Ann Tatem, OF Vir-

Genrria Soldiers

Death OF Mrs. Mary Ann Tatem, or Ntr-
ginia, Who was q Great Friend of the
Georgia Soldiers.
SAVANNAH, Aug. 12.-Edit0r Morning
NstrS: The sad announcement has been
received in Savannah, of the death in
Portsmouth, Va, on Aug. s, of Mrs. Mary
Ann Tatem, the mother Of our esteemed
fellow-citlzen, DR.. RObt. H. Tatem, of this
city.
Beyond the large circle OF children,
grandchildren and other relatives, OF
which she was the beloved central figure,
/ the demise Of this estimable lady will be
| deplOred by many Georgia soldiers, and
| especially those Of the old Third Georgia
Regiment Col. A. r. WTight's }, who, dur
| ing that portion of the late struggle, when
/ the Third Georgia was encamped in the
| vicinity Of her home, found her ian ever
| present help in time of need;' the tender
nurse, the genial Christian companion
and true woman.
With heart absolute in its devotion to
| the cause Of the South, her whole
/ nature was absorbed in the task Of
/ caring for and sympathizing with "the
/ BOYS from home" and in health and sick
ness no truer friend contributed to their
/ pleasures or alleYiated their pains. This
| touching interest in the survivors OF the
/ command was continued until the close
| of her death. 1t was strongly manifested
! at the reunion of the survivors of the regi-
/ ment. held in Portsmouth il 1915, and also
the last meeting Of the veterans at Tallu-
/ lab Falls in 1888. and among her last
| words were benedictiOns and blessings up
| on every member of that brave Georgia
/ command. A career so beautiful. a char
/ acter so well rounded. and a death so
| peaceful is not without its influence, and
we, who knew her so well, will cherish
/ her memory among the dearest that at
| tach to our experience on the soil Of Old
| Virginia. A. A. W.

A CompOsitor who Set Type by the side
of Horace Greeley.
In the article on old printers in the Sum
day NEWS the names of two old craftsmen,
who are well known in this community,
were unintentionally omitted. a. B.
Hazard, a little over a year ago, was an
active employee in the MORNING NEWS
office, but owing to an accident in falling
over distractions caTelessly LETT on the
sidewalk. while returning home from
work during a very dark night, be was
permanently disabled from following his
occupation as q printer. Not being able
to earn his living at his trade he sued the
city for damages and obtained a Judgment
Of $4,000. From this verdict the city ap-
pealed and took the case to the
Supreme Court of the State. There it was
argued and sent back to the lower
court. When il came up for a second
trial a month or two ago the jury brought
in another verdict against the city and in
Mr.. Hazards favor for $1,000. To this
the city again excepted and the case has
gone up again to the Supreme Court. This
old veteran went to the trade when he
was ten years of age, and followed it,
with the exception Of the time he
was in the war, to the night of the
dCEAQEAt- uAF4Uz BEEl dE tue case nearly
fifty years. In the war he rendered dis
tinguished service as a soldier, an officer
and an aid to Gen. Dad Price, of Mis-
souri,, whom he survives. MIR. Hazard is
in vigorous bodily health, notwithstand-
ing his age.
The second veteran is George Roberts,
known by the sOubriquet of Roberts, the
Printer.' Mr.. Roberts was a compositOr
as well as pressman, and also went at

He worked at the case in his apprentice
ship alongside Of Horace Greeley. He is
now in his fiftieth year at the trade, and
has had a remarkable experience. He
came South after his marriage and reared
a large family of children. his three sons.
after the father, being also printers. One
of them served his apprenticeship on this

REDUCED TELEGRAPH RATES.

Western Union Sees the Southern on
Night Rates and Goes One Better.
Manager Dillon, of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, received yesterday a
schedule of reduced night rates to princi-
pal points throughout the country, which
went into effect last night. The reduction
lower the present rates from % to 40 per
cent. To points in Virginia and North
Carolina the rate heretofore has been 40
cents for the first ten words and . cents
for each additional word. TO points in
South Carolina. Georgia and Alabama it
has been . cents. The reduction is to a
uniform rate Of 10 cents for the first ten
words and l cent for each additional
word.
To points in Massachusetts, Rhode Is
land, Connecticut, New York. New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland,
District OF Columbia, West Virginia,
Ohio. Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky. Wis
cOnsin. Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Kan
sas the rate heretofore existing varied
from 10 to 60 cents. The reduction makes
a uniform rate to all points of p cents for
the first ten words and l cent for each ad-
ditionaI word.
This reduction is the lowest that has
ever been reach. d by any telegraph COM
pauy, and enables the public to use the
wires at a cost far below what was ever

surprising reductions in its rates during
the past year, but the present is the lowest

THE JURY COMMISSIONERS.
Decision Of the Attorney General as t.
the Administration of the Oath.

Decision of the Attorney General as to
the Administration of the Oath.
Clerk P. NJ. Russell, Jr., Of the Court Of
Ordinary, yesterday afternoon received
telegram from Atlanta to the effect that
Attorney General Clifford Anderson had
decided that the Clerk Of the Court Of
Ordinary bad not the power 20 administer
the oath required by law to the Jury Com
missiOners.
This decision is based upon the idea
that the swearing in Of the Commission
ers is a judicial act, not a ministerial one.
As the duties Of the Commissioners are TO
revise a list OF jurors for both civil and
criminal cases, IL is perhaps well that the
law in reference to the authority OF the
Clerk OF the Court Of Ordinary should be
strictly construed. The Ordinary viii be
in the city this morning, and the Commits
sioners VIII at once Be sworn into Office.
