coming in. Many farmers will lose every
thing, and much distress will be ex-
perienced. The fire seems to have
originated in Kidder county, about
thirty miles west. The fire was extin-
guished in many places. but is still raging
tiercely i'll many directions. Passengers
ON the james River Valley train say the
prairie from LaMoure to within a few
miles of Jamestown, II distance of fifty
miles. was all ablaze. They could see
blazing barns, dwellings and grain stacks
from the car windows. The fire was also
west and north of the city. As vet no re-
ports of loss of life have come in. In
sufficient fire breaks are the cause of the
loss i'll many cases. The prairie grass is
thick and dry. and ordinary fire brcnks

The crowd at the park was small, and the
gate tender had an easy time of 1t. The
slim support that the club has been receiv-
ing, the management says, will result in its
withdrawal from the league in short time
unless the attendance is larger, or the club
gets wiudfall to carry it
through the season. Savannah seems TO
turn out as good crowds, though, as the
other cities in the league do. Either there
is not an active demand for base ball or the
public is not satisfied with the sport that it
is getting. Savannah cannot complain of
its club, for it took the lead of tire other
clubs at the start and has held it right along

MORE THAN A CENTURY OLD.
a Colored Centennarian at the Baptist
Centennial.

centennial.
One Of the most impressive incidents of
the Baptist centennial, which will close its
eight day session to-day, was witnessed
yesterday. 1t was the Introduction upon
the stage, by Rev. E. K. Love- of veneer
able woman much older than the century.
and who was present when the first African
Baptist church was organized. She was
baptized by its pastor nearly a hundred
years ago. The old woman was Mary Jack
son, born on the John Mcqueen plantation
on Bulls island, S. c., her master dying in
1923
She remembers all the early pastors of
the church. and those who lived In those
early DAYS, aud her tremulous voice tell
ing of the lives and incidents of more than
100 years ago, was so profoundly impressive
that the silence was deep almost to painful
ness, as If some spirit Of the dead century
had materialized as the browning tableau OF
the week centennial exercises.
When the old woman resumed her seat
it was sometime before those who heard
her recovered from the wonder and sur
prise which she had occasioned, and then
many touching speeches were made by the
visiting clergy.
Rev. Love had previously made INQUIRIES
about Mary jackson, and after fully satisfy
ing himself that she was still in life, sent
for her and had her brought to this CITY
and to the tabernacle, to furnish oral proof
of the organization and early struggles of
the African Baptist church.
The centennial will close tonight The
exercises for the day will be interesting,
and it is expected that the attendance will
be larger than on any day previous. Yes

SHOT IN SELF-DEFENSE.
THE CORONER'S INvESTIG ALTON
OF THE FROGTOWN KILLING.

An Open knife Found in One OF the
Dead Mans Pockets and q Rock in
Another - The Testimony Brought
Out at the Inquest - Policeman
Cronin's Statement-Br Browns Bad
Character.
Coroner Dixon held an inquest yesterday
on the body OF Sam Brown, the negro who
was shot and killed by Policeman D. G.
Cronin Monday night. The jury rendered
q verdict that Brown came to his death
from a pistol shot fired by Cronin in the
discharge Of his duty and in self-defense.
Coroner Dixon, when summoned to take
charge Of the body, found rock, weighing
about pound, in the coat pocket of the
dead man and an open knife in his panta-
looms pocket The knife was identified by
Isaiah Brown, the dead mans stepfather, as
the property of the latter, and Isaiah also
testified to the fact that he was presen, and
saw the two weapons taken from the body
by the coroner.
Officer Croniu's testimony was in sub
stance the same as the statement he made
to a MORNING NEWS reporter shortly after
the killing. He testified also that Brown
had tried to reach first one pocket and then
another in the scuf1e, and the knife and
rock found on his person showed his deadly
intent.
WITNESSES OF THE STRUGGLE.
The testimony of several negroes who
witnessed the affray was conflicting but in
the main ii went to show that Brown had
defied the officer, and they called his violent
talk ''grumbling.n The testimony showed
too that Brown had been drinking and that
shortly before the trouble he had called at
Francis Palmer's saloon, at Lumber and
Sims streets bought gill of gin and drank
1t. The testimony of Chloe Houston clearly
fixed the pacific character of Cronin at the
outset. She says Cronin said: Boys, you
will have to keep quiet. don't want any
fuss"
1t was evident from the reluctant manner
in which the colored witnesses could be
brought 10 testify to Browns actual resist
ance to the arrest, they sought to excuse
him as far as possible, and while they tes-
titled to the fact that he had caught the po-
hcemAn's club, and that they were engaged
in terrific struggle, that Cronin had felt
that his life was in imminent danger.
BROWNS BAD RECORD.
Brown was in his 23d year, and was re-
gsrded as a very desperate character when
in liquor. His body was buried yesterday
afternoon by the county.
The shot which killed Brown was the one
fred when he and Cronin were engaged in
the struggle. The ball entered the left
clavicle, ranging downward and backward,
coming out on the lett side just above the
hip. The second shot was Intellectual
When Brown was shot he ran about block
and half and fell When found he was
breathing his last His death was from
internal hemorrhage. The powder burns
where the ball entered showed plainly that
the shot was fired in the scuffle when Brown
had the officer by the throat and was trying
either to get the knife or the rock out OF his
pocket
