FOR his DAUGHTERS SAKE.
An Augusta Father Rescues His
Daughter From Life of Shame.

An Augusta Father Rescues His
Daughter From Life of Shame.
An Augusta father, after much diff
Guilty, rescued his young daughter from
Ada Gray's house of ill-fame yesterday. He
was refused admission to the house where
his daughter was, and was told that she
was not there, but he was determined
TO find her, and find her he did.
1t was fearful meeting, but the heart
broken father had the consolation of taking
his daughter home with him, with fathers
forgiveness. The girl found her way
into the Gray woman's house two or three
weeks ago. She is not over 10, progresses
ing and handsome, and went by the name
of Blanche Wells. She had been missing
from home for some time, and her father
could hear nothing of her whereabouts
until night before last he received a tele-
gram from Savannah calling him here at
once, when information would be given him
of his missing child. He took the first train
for this city, where he met his friend. who
acquainted him with the news of her
changed life, and where she could be
found. The father lost no time in getting
to the place, but he was told that his
daughter was not there, that she had been
gone week. The father was not con-
WINGED and appealed to policeman to help
him get to see her. The policeman declined
for want of authority. The father then
went to police headquarters and appealed
to the officer on duty for police assistance
to rescue his daughter, and was
told that the police are not
authorized TO enter dwelling under such
circumstances, and he would have to 60 be-
fore a magistrate and take out warrant.
After several attempts without warrant,
Justice Sheftall was appealed to. and he
issued warrants both for the woman and
the girl. Constable Sullivan went
force his way through window.
The girl was found, and the meeting with
her father was most affecting. She prom
ised to return home and left the place. The
Gray woman was arrested and will be
brought before Justice Sheftall this morn
ing to answer for appearance in the
superior court

Mercury Up to e20 in Savannah Yes
terday, and to GolHigher To-day.
To say that it was hot yesterday doesn't
express 1t. The heat poured down relent-
lessly, and came up from the streets and
from the brick walls on either side. There
was no escape from 1t, and cool places were
remarkably few. The maximum temper
ture for the day was go, and the mimi
mum go.
Millen was probably the hottest place in
Georgia, as the thermometer registered 1922
there Other places in the Savannah dis
trfct were hot. 1t was 9Se at Eastman and
o2e at Jesup.
A rainfall of one and q half inches was
reported from Alapaha and Jesup
The signal observer reported the follow
ing records from other cities: Augusta 9Ss,
Atlanta 900, Montgomery 900, New Orleans
s2a, Charleston 800, Charlotte $50, Will
mington 92e, Jacksonville 800.
There were heavy rains in the Ohio valley
and hight showers in Southern Georgia and
Northern Florida. Savannahians have no
great reason TO complain of the weather, as
it is no hotter than usual at this season of
the year. 1t is true that the temperature
for this year is 1867 ahead of the normal
temperature, but an unusually warm
winter accounts for this fact.
Yesterdays mean temperature was 500,
but the average of the mean temperature of
the same day for nine years is Sle, or one
degree higher
This year is IL a inches behind on rain up
TO date, so there need be no fear of an early
drought To-days forecast is not en-
couraglng to lovers of comfort. as the pre-.
olctlon is for fair and warmer weather.

disorderly. Twelve of the offenders are
white and eleven colored.
The colored Odd Fellows of Augusta
brought in three carloads of excursionists
to Savannah yesterday afternoon by a
special section of the regular train. A
large crowd of their Savannah brethren
met them at the depot and greeted them
with great reclamation. They will spend
two days or more in the city, the guests of
the Savannah lodges.
Maj. A. L. Hartridge is adding another
story to his handsome residence at Beaulieu,
With this addition the house will, in truth,
be mansion, and will present very i'm
posing appearance. A small coal oil engine
lifts water to a large tank at the top of the
house, and insures at all times plentiful
supply for the several bathrooms. There is
no nandsomer place in the state than that of
Maj. Hartridge.
Tybee was as popular as ever yesterday.
Besides the crowd from Savannah there
were over 200 from along the Central and as
many more from Charleston and other
points. The Augusta train brought in five
coaches, with about $50 people for Tybee,
besides the usual colored contingent. The
Charleston and Savannah excursion also
brought in good crowd. The Sunday ex-
cursions are very popular with the people,
but large numbers of people are now taking
advantage of the cheap summer rates to
spend several days at Tybee.

AID THE ENUMERATORs.
Savannah Wants to Show What Her
Full Population Is.

Savannah Wants to Show What Her
Full Population Is.
The time allotted for the taking Of the
census expired Saturday. The work will be
continued, however, until the enumeration
has been finished. In spite of the care of
the enumerators many people will go I'M
counted. A good many are absent
from the city for the season, others
are out when the enumerator calls and the
information concerning them is not OBJ
tanned. In some instances occupants of
rooms are not found at all. All of these if
not enumerated will diminish the popula-
ton which the census reports will show,
and will count against instead of for
Savannah.
Supervisor Beckett will issue blanks to
all who desire them, and if any have t
been called upon by the enumerators or
were absent from the city, or for other
cause are not likely TO be counted in the
census, he will gladly supply the blanks to
be filed in.
Savannah is anxious to show what her
actual population is, and the only way it
can be done is through cooperation with
the census authorities.

HALL TO BE TRIED AGAIN.
The Eastman Lawyer Re-indicted for
Perjury.


Perjury.
Lawyer Luther A. Hall, who is now in
Jail in Savannah for contempt of court,
and who was indicted by United States
court special grand jury at Macon, last
week, for perjury, will be tried July7.
A MORNING NEWS reporter saw Mr.. Hall
in the jail last night. He had not yet
learned of his indictment or that day for
trial had been set. He said he would have
preferred an earlier date for the trial, but
as IL is he is glad it was set as early as it
was. He expressed the utmost confidence
in his acquittaL He says that his counsel
doubtless had that date fixed. MIR. Hall
will apply for parole of ten days OF more
to confer with his counsel and assist in the
preparation Of his defense. He will have
served out the first half Of his five months
sentence for contempt on Wednesday
night.
The prisoner has a large, airy room at the
southwestern corner of the top floor of the
Jail. and has the privilege of the floor, and
of a room across the hall in the afternoon
when the hot sun beats into his room.
When seen yesterday he was seated at his
table by wide open window, which admit
ted the southern breeze, reading Evaugel
inc. Bible and a copy of Robert Elsmere
lay on the table within easy reach, and the
OOOA hAeAA No POCPlbs LAOAA w AbuOuu tlc l6df6S
show that he varies his readings. He was
not inclined to discuss the prosecutions, as
he terms them, which had led to his second
indictment, but he remarked that when he
has served the time he is now undergoing,
and is acquitted on the last Indictment,
which he says will be the result of the trial,
he will then be in position to speak more
freely.
1.-THE titles to land about Eastman he
added. "were doubtful before l was born.
There has always been litigation over them,
and will be continuous litigation for years
to come. am not guilty of perjury, and
those who know me do not believe / am"
Mr.. Hall was required to give bail in the
sum of $4,000 to return and serve out his
five months sentence when he was paroled
to prepare for and attend his former trial,
and he will no doubt be required to give
as large bond this time. His friends
claim that the bond is excessive, although
they stand perfectly willing to give any re-
quired bond, and they were surprised that
he should receive so heavy a sentence in the
contempt case. Mr.. Hall will not discuss
either Of these topics.

CHIEF PUDARs FURLoUaH.
He VIII Spend Week in Augusta
Macon and Atlanta.

He Will Spend Week in Augusta
Macon and Atlanta.
Chief Engineer Puder of the fire depart
ment will leave tonight by the Central on a
weeks furlough, for Augusta, where he will
spend tomorrow and Wednesday. He will
take in Atlanta on Thursday and Macon
Friday, returning home on Saturday
morning.
While in Augusta Chief Puder will visit
the Cadets at Camp Richmond. He is an
honorary member Of the company, having
enlisted May 13. 1862, and served with the
company to the close of the war. He was
orderly sergeant of the Cadets for five
years. He came very near being knocked
out by l2-pound solid shot at Jonesboro in
1864. he was detailed to go to we'll within
the range of the federal artillery,
and arriving at the we'll
with thirteen canteens strapped around
him, had filled his last canteen
and had just turned to leave when the
twelve-pounder came along, and, striking
the well box, carried it down in the well
with a crash. Thirteen is lucky number,
for if he had had fourteen canteens to fiji
he wouldn't be shaking hands with the
Cadets tomorrow.
The enemy had trained cannon on the
well to cut off the watersupply, aud they did
il successfully, but Mr.. Puder congratulated
himself as much on the fact that he had
filled his canteens before the well was dis
mantled as he did on his narrow escape

OFF FOR AUGUSTA.
The Savannah Troops Departure for
the State Encampment.

The Savannah Troops Departure for
the State Encampment.
The Savannah military left for August a
yesterday morning with flying colors. The
regiment assembled at the armory at an
early hour and marched to the Central depot
shortly before O'Clock, where it was Joined
by the H ussars. At the depot were the
Brunswick Light Horse, who were given a
hearty welcome
As the train pulled out at 500
the band struck up Dixie" and the
crowd gave three cheers The special
section provided for the military consisted
of eight coaches, and, with the Brunswick
cavalry, they we're all filed. The train
arrived in Augusta at 10 O'Clock and the
military was carried direct to Camp Rich
mond, two miles out, over the Georgia
railroad, where it found the quartermasters
had made everything ready.
Two things are certain. There will be
no finer cavalry company at the eucamp-
ment then the Georgia Hussars, and there
will be no regiment better drilled in the
school of the soldier than the First Reg
ment. The other regiments and battalions
are almost entirely composed of companies
from different towns, which have not had
the opportunity of drilling together. The
Savannah troops know something about
camp life, too; of which most of the Georgia
soldiery are wofully ignorant. The Cadets
were highly complimented last year at the
Tybee Island encampment by Lieut.. Carter
of the United States army, who said that
they were the best equipped and best posted
volunteer company as to camp duty he
had ever seen. 1t will be surprise if the
compliment is not repeated this year. The
hot sun may burn the men little and the
West Point regulations may make them
tired, but they will come out all right.
