GOLDEN'S SLAYER IN JAIL.
Jim Mattox Brought Back From
CharleSton-His Confession.

Jim Mattox Brought Back From
Charlestor-His Confession.
Officer ST Basch returned from Charles
ton last night, with Jim Mattox, who was
arrested there week ago for the murder of
James Golden, in this city, on April Z. An
account of Mattox' arrest and his confes-
sion have already been given in the MORN
ING NEWS.
The prisoner was lodged in the Jail last
night to await his trial.
TIE fatal ARRAY took place one Saturday
night in a house in r 5bertsville. After ad-
uniting that he killed Golden, Mattox said
that he told Golden not to come to his
house but, the latter kept coming. On
the night of the murder Golden tried to
come in the back door and Mattox showed
him out. Golden, he said, struck him with a
club, aud Mattox seized an axe and threw it
at Golden. He saw him fall, and then he
went away. The account of his leaving
the city and his tramp into Carolina have
already been given. After his arrest in
Charleston he was held there until a requisi-
ton could be secured, and as soon it was
Officer Basch went after him and brought
him back to Savannah.

FIREMEN KEPT BUSY.
What They Do and How They Do It
The Telegraph System.

Chief Fernandez said last night that the
one tap of the big Duke, . shortly after
noon yesterday, was occasioned by twist
in the wires caused by a collision with the
foliage of tree swayed by the wind. The
department is trying to obviate this as far
as possible by trimming the trees wherever
permitted, but in nearly every instance the
owners strenuously object. The depart
nIent, however, is putting up new poles, and
whenever practicable having only fire alarm
wire on the poles, and also avoiding the
trees as far as possible.
About forty new poles have been put up,
and it is intended to erect about 100 more
In a great many places whore the tire-alarm
wire has been attached to the telephone
poles it has been detached and induction
avoided. Besides a heavy wind often twists
the wires into connection with the tele-
phone wire so that neither system will
work well.
The work of putting up the new poles is
necessarily slow, as no extra force is en-
ployed, the work all being done by details
from the fire department.. II is expected
to have all the new poles in position by
June LIST. Chief Fernandez says that some
people have an idea that the fire
men have nothing to do but
so TO fires, but he says they
earn all they are paid. They keep up all
repairs TO the lines, attend to their horses,
engines and hose reels, keep the houses
clean and in repair, and make their own
beds. They are not only houSekeepers, but
linemen, hosters, and he might have added,
hustlers at fire. The department is in ex-
celent condition, and the men deserve
ere it for their industry, efficiency and
willingness.

MOTHER GOOSE RECEPTIONS.
The Second Entertainment Equally as
Successful as the First.

Successful as the First.
Mother Goose held her second reception
at the Theater yesterday afternoon. 1t was
an equally as successful affair as the first.
The Theater was crowded, upstairs and
down. The programme was the same as
the night before, with one or two excep-
tons. The tableaux were all very prettlv
given, and the singing was enthusiastically
applauded,
The Mother Goose reception was one of
the most successful society entertainments
that has been given in Savannah this sea-
son. Much OF iCs success was due TO the
efforts OF the pntroncsSes, and especially to
Mrs. w J. Lindsay, Mrs. William Harden,
Mrs. Cecil Berrien, Mrs. Grey and Miss
Alice B>urqutn, who arranged the tableaux
and conducted the rehearsals. Mr.. Cecil
Berrien had toe direction of the stage.
The entertainment was arranged by Mr..
II. c. Davis and Mr.. w. J. Lindsay. 1t
was given for the benefit of the organ fund
Of the First Presbyterian church, and a
handsome sum was realized through the eff
forts of the gentlemen who gave their time
and attention to it, and the ladies Of the
church and others who kindly assisted

Not Likely to Quarassine.

Health Officer Drummer was seen by a
MORNING NEWS reporter last night, and
was asked if he had anything new to COM
municate in connection with the subject
which led to the Sunday meeting of the
Sanitary Board.
In reply, the Health Officer said that the
Jacksonville dispatch in the MORNING
NEWS of yesterday was corroborative of
the adviceS that he has received from the
suspected district in and around Plant
City.
Abiding to the prediction that quaran-
tine would be established at Jesup this
week, the Health Officer said that it is not
likely now that such step will be taken
He did not believe the Sanitary Board would
sustain HIM in it if he were to recon-
mend it,

MeSsrs. Darts Bros, Saranndh, Ga:
GENTLEMEN-We desire to return to you
our sincere thanks for your earnest efforts in
behalf of cur Mother Goose reception at
the TIeater Monday night and Tuesday aft
ernoon. We know that the annoyance of
returns and sale o. tickets was great, and
we would not have troubled you IN the way
we did, except that sickness in the families
of some of our important committee.
caused us to delay the sale of tickets until SO
late, that i'll order to make our entertain
ment a success, we had to enlist all our
friends in the city to assist us in the sale of
tickets and owing to your central location
and familiarity with such things, as well as
your universal and acknowledged kindness
in all charitable matters, we directed that
all returns be made to you. To you, Mr..
w. j. Lindsay, and TO the members of our
committees, the great financial success of
the entertainment ia due.
Very respectfully yours,
The PATRoNESSEs AND LADIES
OF the First Presby terrain Church.
