sEReT. S. O. LEE DEAD.
Taken Off After a Long Illness From
Consumption.

Taken Off After a Long Illness From
Consumption.
Police Sergt s. C. Lee died yesterday
morning at $50 o'clock at his home on
York street, after lingering Illness OF sew
eral years.
Sergt. Lee was in his 10th year, and was
born in Efingham county. He served
through the war with the Forty-seventh
Georgia regiment and made fine record
as soldier He came to Savannah after
the war and was appointed a private
on the police force Sept. 26, 1861.
He was elected sergeant Jan. 6, 1872, which
position he held up to the time Of his death.
%After the election Of Chief
Green from sergeant 20 assis-
tant chief be became the senior SER
geant Of the force. Consequently he was
in the direct line OF promotion, and would
probably have been elected assistant chief
in January had his health been in good con-
dition.
During the Central railroad riots in Sep
TENDER, 1891. Sergt. Lee. while dismounting
from refractory horse, was
thrown TO the ground, the
horse falling upon him and seriously
injuring hI n. He frequently complained
OF these injuries after ward and believed
them to be the cause Ut his decline in health
On account Of his i'll health Sergt Lee
did very little service during the last four
years and almost none during the last NO
years. Whenever he was able TO get about
for a few days, however, be always went to
the barracks and endeavored to perform
his duty, which usually resulted in re-
lapse.
Sergt. Lee was faithful and efficient
officer and is spoken Of in the highest terms
by the officers and members of the police
force and ali who knew him. His reputa-
tation for bravery and devotion in duty
was very high.
He leaves a wife and three children-a
grown son and two young girls.

CITY BRRVITIES.

Yesterday was fair and warm, the max
imum temperature being $50 and the min
mum 69'. The same condition prevailed
generally throughout the south. some few
rains being reported, however, from Ala
oama, Georgia and Florida The same
state OF weather is predicted for to day.
Supt. j. NJ. Stephens, of the Western
Union Office at Atlanta, has been pro-
NOTED to the superintendency Of the fourth
district of the compeny's southern division,
with headquarters in Atlanta. The fourth
district is a very important one, extending
from Charleston to New Orleans and IN
Guiding Chattanooga, Savannah and other
cities. Suot. L. J. Maxwell, of the Western
Union office at Savannah, is mentioned as
one of those likely to succeed Mr.. Stephens
IN the superintendepcy Of the Atlanta office.
There are over 100 employees in the Atlanta
Office. Mr.. Maxwelrs friends here would re-
greet to part with him, but still on his ac>
count they would be glad to see him pro-
NOTED.
Pedestrians on Bull street, near Brough-
ton, were treated to quite an interesting
little scrap between two men last night
about O'Clock The row commenced at
the corner, and two or three blows were
passed. when the combataDts we're separated.
Neither of them were satisfied, however,
80 they repaired to the lane, where they
went at it in fine style. After pummeling
each other for about three or four minutes,
friends, thinking it had lasted long enough,
and the crowd accommodating pretty rapidly,
intertered' and put an end to hostilities
One of them-the smaller man of the two,
who seemed to be the recipient of most of
the blows-was not satisfied, and wanted to
renew the battle but the police was sug-
gested aud the usual quiet was resumed.

The Detectives Expect to Get Them,
Though, Before Long.
The detectives are still hunting for olews
to the express robbers. The tall and short
highwaymen. however, were shrewd
enough to prepare their plans In such
way as to leave as few clews behind
them as possible. Nevertheless the de-
tectives have not given up running them
down.
II the robbers would be oonsiderate
enough to return to the city and surrender
great deal of anxiety would be relieved,
and they would have the best wishes Of the
Southern Express Company and the Cen
trail railroad, to say nothing of the officers
who have lost considerable sleep.
Some one started the story yesterday
afternoon that the robbers had been cap
tured on Henry street. and the news spread
rapidly, but every one was disappointed
when it was found out that there was no
foundation for the story.
One man confidentially informed a
MORNING NEWS reporter that the robbers
had been captured by the detectives and
locked up in the jail on fictitious charges
until the Southern Express Company de-
cided to offer big reward, when they
would be put through the form Of confess
ing, and would be committed for the train
robbery This information was given as a

Last night another story was started that
two Central railroad brakemen had been
arrested, and some one telephoned the ne ws

TWICE A WEEK TO BALTIMORE.
The Merchants and Miners Double
Weekly Schedule.

The Merchants and Miners Double
WeeSy Schedule.
The Merchants and Miners Transporta-
ton Company will inaugurate Sept 90 the
double weekly service, a steamer sailing
from here every Wednesday and Saturday,
instead of every five days, as at present.
The Allegheny. Berkshire and William
Lawrence will be the vessels on the Savan-
nah line.
The Decatur H. Miller, which is now run
ming instead of the William Crane, which
is being repaired, will make her last trip
from here on Sept 49, After that she and
the Crane will be transferred to the Provi-
dence route. The new steamer Fairfax will
90 on the Boston route, together with the
Dorchester, Essex and Chatham.
Since Agent Carolan's appointment the
business of the Baltimore line has greatly
increased, and is continuing TO do so. The
Miller carried out on her last trip the
heaviest cargo which she has ever taken
from this port, and could have taken con-
siderable more if she had the capacity.
From present indications it will not be
long before the Merchants and Miners will
have to run three trips a week from Savan-
nah to accommodate its freight.
