One Thousand Dollars for the New
Episcopal Free Church.
Rev. T. C. Stanley, the trustee of the st.
Matthews church fund, discovered by Mr..
Beckett in the course of his investigations
of the records. has, it is stated, written to
Rev. Charles II. Strong, rector of st. Johns
church, acknowledging the facts set forth
in the MORNING NEWS some weeks ago as
to this fund, and offering to surrender the
trust. with the accumulated increase, to
whoever Mr.. Strong may designate.
From three shares of Southwestern
railroad stock, worth in 1872, as
stated by the gentleman who Gre
ated the trust, only 1894, the fund has in
creased by accumulation of dividends and
growth of value of the orig nal investment
until it has about reached the proportion
designed by its creator, viz, 81 900.
The fund will be used in the decoration Of
the chancel of the new church, and to the
purchase of a stained glass window, as
specified in the trust deed.

The management of the Savannah Base
Ball Club desires to make its last appeal to
the citizens in aid of the team. The amount
required has not been raised, and the COM
mittee will tomorrow call on the public for
the purpose of making up the $500 neces-
sary to carry the club through the season.
The team Is now in fine condition, and is
without doubt the best in the league.
Having made a fine record, placing them
in the lead for the pennant, it is earnestly
well as the citizens, will not allow the club
to fall through for lack of a few hundred
dollars. The Macon club has wired an offer
for Savannah's place in the league, and if
the funds are not raised by tomorrow
night it is probable that the offer will be
accepted. Gus FRIEND.

ANGEL TURNED LOOSE.
THE MISSOURI AUTHORITIES FAIL
TO IDENTIFY HIM.

Sheriff Potter Says He is not the
Mount Vernon Murderer-Angell
Indignant over His Arrest and
Threatens to Bring Suit for False
Inprisonment-Sher Peerce Tries
to Unload the Responsibility OF the
Arrest on the Police.
Eugene Angel, who has been lodged in
Jail suspected of being Charles r. Carter, a
fugitive from Missouri, over whom death
sentence is pending, was released in open
,ourt Yesterday morning by Judge Adams,
ANGELS arrest having been proven to be a
sase of mistaken identity. The evidence
apon which the discharge was made was
he testimony of Deputy Sheriff James I.
Potter, of Mount Vernon, Mo. Mr.. Potter,
who arrived in the city yesterday, testified
that he knew Charles R. Carter, and that
Angel is not the man.
The case is familiar TO the readers of the
MORNING NEWS. Yesterday two weeks
ago Constable kaufman arrested Angel at
The instance of Acting Chief OF Police
Green, upon Information furnished by let
Iers from John A. Pearce, Sheriff Of Leon
county, Florida. Angel was confined in
the barracks until last Monday, when he
was taken out on writ of habeas corpus
Issued from the Superior Court on the Sat
hrday previous.
WANTED on A REQUISITIoN.
On Monday Sheriff Pearce was in court
armed with a requisition upon the Governor
Of Georgia for Carter. Judge Adams was
unwilling to give the suspected man into
:he custody of Pearce for removal to
another State until after proper identified
ton, and the prisoner was remanded TO the
custody of Sheriff Roman pending the arrl-
val of the Missouri official to whom Pearce
telegraphed the courts action. Mr.. Potter
was not long in determining that he had
come on a bootless errand. He left over
the Central last night for home.
Sheriff Pearce, in an interview with a
MORNING NEWS reporter, said that
Angels arrest was not only pre-
mature, but unauthorized. He said he
had not intended to arrest Angel at
that time, hut that it was his inten-
tention to get him employment in Florida,
get his photograph, send it on for examina-
lion and il Angel proved to be the man
wanted he had then contemplated making
the arrest When he received the telegram
announcing the arrest he wired to Lieut..
Green to hold the prisoner. Pearce is out
about SS5 in travelling expenses, tele-
grams and board for Angel at the barracks
bne week.
ANGEL THREATENS TO SUE.
Angel is highly indignant over the whole
matter, having been imprisoned for two
weeks, the first week of which his principal
grievance was in being denied seeing his
friends He has threatened suit for false
Imprisonment, but that is question upon
which he is disposed to be reticent. His
counsel in the habeas corpus case was w.
G. Charlton, Esq, and that gentleman will
no doubt be his adviser and counsellor as
to any contemplated litigation looking to a
recovery of damages for the arrest and
detention prior TO Monday last.
II Charles r. Carter is anywhere in this
section, he would confer great favor on
Sheriff Pearce If he would come and sur
render himself, as Mr.. Pearce has requisi-
ton papers but no prisoner

was the popular man of the company, and
he has been subjected to much good
humored badinage for his resolution.
