both Mayor McQuald's and Mahoney's name
engraved on the handle.

WHAT AN INDIAN oAN STAND.
The Heroic Treatment Used With a
HalEFrozen Red Liam.

halI-Frozen Red Liam.
From the Detroit Free Press.
To show what an Indian can stand when
he has to / may tell of an incident which
happened during the winter / was with
them. Toward evening on a very cold win
ter day. when it was showing Just little
and drifting great deal, an Indian came to
the log house with jug half full Of whisky
and with his rife. imagine that the jug
had been entirely full of whisky when he
started, and by the time he got to the house
he was IN rather jolly condition. The
jug and the rifle were taken away from
him, and be was ordered to get to his wig
wan as quick as he could before darkness
came on. He left, and was supposed to have
gone to the camp, but early next morning
bis squaw appeared at the house and said
he had not come home that night, and, as
the night was cold, she had been anxious
about him. Then the search for the lost
Indian began.
He was found In one of the sheds near
the barn under heap of drifted snow, and
the chances are that the snow that was
above him had helped to save his lie The
searchers for the Indian had gone In different
directions, and it was his own squaw who,
with true Indian instinct, had tracked him
out, and she was alone when she found him.
Apparently the Indian was frozen corpse.
She tumbled him out OF the snowbank and
pulled off his blankets and dragged him
down to the creek, where a hole was cut in
the ice for the purpose Of watering the cat
tie. Laying the Indian out on She snow,
she took the pan that was bsside the hole,
and, filing it repeatedly. dashed pailful
after pailful over the body of the Indian.
By the time the unsuccessful searchers had
returned she had her old man thawed out
and seated by the fire, wrapped up in
blankets. There is no question that if he
had been found by the others and had been
taken into the house, frozen as he was, he
would have died.

place, lust beyond the six-mile post on the
Augusta road. The murderer, as usual, es-
capped.
After being shot Taylor staggered into
the church and up TO the pulpit, where he
fell and died in five minutes.
The murder was the result of jealousy on
the part Of Wilson. Both men lived at the
''5-mile bend, y and Wilson's wife left him
LAST September and returned 70 her fathers
house. Taylor had been in the habit of
visiting the Wilson woman, aud the hus-
band heard of it. He went TO the church
Sunday night and waited outside for
Taylor until services were over.

port Of pistol and bullet whiz1ed by her
head.
A SECOND SHOT AT HIS WIFE.
Just as she got on her feet again the pistol
was fired a second time, and she heard Tay-
Tor cry out, 30, Lord! :"
Wilson's wife did not stop running until
she reached home, and her father bolted the
door after she got inside. In a few min
utes Wilson came up 10 the door, cursing
and tried TO get in. When he found the
door locked he stormed and cursed for about
an hour, and when he finally started away

John Minis said that when he came out
of church he saw Taylor standing at the
the corner and Wilson walking toward
him. As the murderer came near he asked
is this Jim Taylorr Taylor ans wered
YES" and almost at the same moment
Wilson fired. Minis then ran into the
church.
VERDICT OF MURDER.
Several other witnesses were examined
and the jury, which was composed entirely
of negroes, returned verdict that Taylor
came to his death from pistol shot wound
inflicted by John Wilson. and they con-
sidered the crime wilful murder
Wilsoa was employed by w. H. Connerat
as wood cart driver, and had the reputa-
zion of being a quarrelsome man. He is
about the same age as Taylor.

A CYCLONE OFF HATrERAs.
Savannah Steamers Probably Delayed
By IL.

savannah steamers Probably Delayed
BY 1t.
A Fortress Monroe dispatch to the NOM
ING NEWS last night, reported the arrival
of the steamer City Of Washington, from
New York to Havana, with her forecastls
and quarterback washed away, one of her
crew killed and another missing.
The vessel encountered a Cyclone off Cape
Hatteras Sunday night. Besides the loss
OF the two OF his crew one passenger was
badly injured.
The steamers Kansas City, from New
York. and Dessoug, from Philadelphia,
were due off Hatteras Sunday night The
Decatur II. Miller was due in Savannah
yesterday morning, and should have passed
Hatteras Sunday. The Kansas City was
due here last night, but did not arrive. The
Dessoug is due this morning.
The City of Birmingham, and City of
Macon for Boston, which left their wharves
Saturday night, did not go to sea until Sum
day morning on account Of the fog, and are
probably this side of the storm.
The cold wave came promptly to hand
yesterday morning. The temperature did
not fall to freezing point, but the wind was
very piercing, and drove the cold air into
every crevice in a manner that was far
from pleasant. Overcoats were in
great demand, and the clothiers
made large sales Of those comfortable gar
ments. Had 1t not been for the wind the
day would not have been very cold, the
maximum temperature being 49s and the
minimum only 40s
The reports received at the signal Office
last night did not show any severely cold
weather, the lowest temperature, with the
exception Of the extreme northwest, being
reported from the Obi valley. The pre-
diction for to-day is fair and colder.

intention Of defeating Alderman j. j. Nc
Donough for recollection.
Mr.. George Myers was asked last night
If there is anything in the rumor. He re-
piled that there is not an iota OF truth in it.
I'm the first place." said he, "the German
American Association is not in existence
now. The only thing of the kind is the
Citizens CLUB, which was organized some
years ago in Mayor Schwarz's In
terest, and has been revived
for the coming campaign to assist in the
hurrying Of registration and the getting
out of large vote. atm an officer of the
club, and | know what l am talking about
when say that the Influence and votes of
the club will be used in the interest of
Mayor Schwarz and every member of the
present board Of aldermen. There is to
be no exception whatever, as we con-
slider that the present administration
has done its duty in proper and ec1nomi-
cal manner, and we think it good for the
city's interests TO give it another term"

morning and drive TO the place where the
marriage was TO take place.
Conductor Malouey of the train said that
the last he saw Of Davis was when he was
leaving the train at Ridgeland. Porter says
that Davis never went to his house, and it Is
probable that whatey er occurred took place
between the station and Porter's house,
which Is only q short distance off.

riage, as he was too much in love

Congregation on Sin.
The mission at st. Patrick's drew another
overlooking audieucs to the church last
night Father McKiniry preached the
sermon, the subject of which was "SIn.'
The preacher drew great word pictures of
the enormity of sin. and the punishment
Ineted out by God to those who are guilty
Of it. He pleaded with his hearers to
avoid sin by stunning its occasion and
keeping clear of the temptations, 50 many
OF which surround the unwary. He advised
all who desired to lead proper christian
lives to armor themselves with PRAYER.
Father McKiniry spoke in strong language
Of the gilded halls of vice, which are the
occasion OF so much sin. He said that il
people would only make the effort. thew
would find that it was easy to avoid COM
mitting sin, and pictured the pleasures of
persons who live proper lives, and the hap
pineSs which awaited them in the next

Some OF the Stuff Found in Cote
RaIaz

Some OF the Stuff Found in Cotton
Bales.
Cotton factors are frequently troubled
with materials other than cotton in the
bales. 1t is oftentimes puzzle as tn whether
they get into the bale by accident or are put
there designedly by the planter or the
ginner.
During the past two months well-Known
factor Of this city has brought out at
different times and from as many
different bales in sampling them, one
rusty fork, one piece of pink calico, one
piece of soiled brown paper, one lot of sheep
dung, one piece of brown calico, one piece
of soiled osnaburgs, one rusty spike, one
piece checkered calico, one lot of chicken
feathers, one chicken foot. one piece of
bone.
These articles were found in the sample
pulled ordinarily from the bale, and
the question is how much Of
the same kind of stuff is
found in the entire bale by the spinner
when he comes to use the cotton for con-
sumption.
1t has been the practice in seasons gone by
for some planters to place heavy stone in
the center of the bale to make it weigh
heavier. but nothing of the kind has been
reported this season so far.

MECHANICS INTERESTED.


And Their Friends Too-Levy's Grand
Present.
The county election last week scarcely
excited one-tenth the public interest that
centers in the contest at B. H. Levy &
Bro 3, for the elegant bedroom SUIT for
the most popular mechanic in Savannah,
and the enthusiasm of the friends and &C
quaintance of several well known mechanics
is manifesting itself in heavy voting.
THE CONTEST WILL BE FAIR
and square, as euerything connected Nth
LEWIS altoGys is, and it is altogether with
the public as to who will become owner of
the elegant Furniture displayed in B. Il.
Levy & Bros show window. A good
many people are under the impression that
one must buy something to be entitlsd to a
vote.
THIS is A MISTAKE,
AS you need not even be a patron of the
establishment to enjoy the electoral privi-
lege. You must, however, vote for bona
Jide mechanic, that is the only obligation.
YOU CAN'T VOTE ON SATURDAY,
As that day is our busy day and is wholly
devoted to supplying the wants of our i'm
mense Overcoat and Clothing trade, and we
know our friends won't begrudge us one
whole day to ourselves in each week; any
other day, however, you can vote and reg
ister.
We are beginning to partake of the gen.
eral excitement ourselves, and find our own
expectancy aharpened as TO the possible
outcome of this contest.
Vote for your
favorite
Mechanic
and have him
get our Handsome
