SING LEE GONE cz1NAwAaD.
To be Buried With Christian Honors
In Laurel Grove To-day.

To be Buried With Christian Honors
In Laurel Grove To-day.
Sing Lee has the honor of being the tlrst
| Chinaman to die and be buried in Savan-
nah. Sing probably doesn't appreciate the
honor at It's full value. II be could have
bis say on the matter he probably would
not be buried here at all.
| Like all true CeleStials Sing had an
| awful adherence OF alien soil
as final resting place. For
fear that such fats might be his he had
! already begun saving money for the trans
portAtion of his bones back 30 his old
home in China. Unfortunately for the ac-
oomplishment Of this object, his earnings
were meager, and beyond deposit OF 800,
made in the Southern Bank on May IL 4,
Sings estate will pan out little or nothing.
IF we have s50o we send him back to
China" said Wing Ching Lee, the Brough.
ton street merchant. "It take all that.
True China boy like to sleep by his fathers
side. Too bad, poor Sing, he never 60 home
no more"
This is the reason why Sing Lees body
will be deposited in a grave in Laurel Grove
cemetery tomorrow morning. None Of the
colony ike the idea, but they cannot afford
to go down into their own pockets to pre-
vent it.
Sing Lee kept small laundry on Jeffer-
son street, near Liberty. He mad been In
this country many years, and at one time
was quite well off. In an uulucky hour he
opened a grocery store in Bruins wick and
fell madIy in love with white woman
living there. Their courtship was brief and
the honeymoon briefer. She drank, she
cursed. and she whipped poor Sing in the
most shameful manner. Sing could have
borne all this with the Chinamans
characteristic meekDess, but when
she added squanderlng of his earnings TO
her evil traits he called q halt. BY the
time they managed to separate, though,
Sings heart and pocketbook were nearly on
par.
He came to Savannah and entered the
laundry business. He joined a Sunday
school class and became "a good boy"
Deafness then came and Sing staid home,
with the request that the other good boys
pray for him. Then on Friday all Of bis ills
and worriments came TO tragic end. He
became overheated, ate some plums, drank
some ice water and died.
Wing Ching Lee, the most progressive and
most charitable of the colony, made all the
arrangements for the funeral ''Me went to
each China boy" said he to a MORNING
NEWS reporter, "and each give little money
to bury Sing. Boys all like Sing. he
good boy, never smoke, never gamble.
never lie, treat others boys right. We get
nice comn, anu tnreo CABS. every emma
boy what comes get a ride. We give Sing
Christian burial, you know just same when
you die"
Rev. r. Q. Way of the Second Presby-
terian church will of1ciate at the grave.
There will be none Of the usual Chinese
services, so there will be nothing to attract
q crowd. After Sing is laid away few
flowers win be distributed over the mound.
Some Of these days, il Wing Ching Lee sue
ceeds in the efforts he proposes making, a
neat marble headstone will give all the in-
formation about the first Chlnaman who
died in this city.

w. c. Smiths Tale of an Ugly Assault
Upon Him.
W. c. Smith of No. % Bay street was
held up on Broughton street, between Aber-
corn and Lincoln streets, at 2 o'clock yester-
day morning, and his money taken from
him by three white men.
Smith says that he had been out early in
the night and paid some bills, after which
he had 800 left In his pocketbook. which
was on old-fashioned clasp book. While on
his way home, after spending a considerable
portion of the night with friends, he was
accosted by three men. one of whom asked
him what time 1t was. Smith answered 2
o'clock. The stranger replied: You are a
- liar; it is not"
Smith. to be obliging, swallowed the COM
pliment and pulled out his watch to bear out
his statement as to the time, when one OF
the footpads made thrust at him with a
knife which out down his shirt trout. His
vest was cut across on the left side. While
this was going on another of the men struck
Smith singing blow in the face, at the
same time throwing his arms across his
neck, holding him until they succeeded in
getting his pocket hook. All three broke
away and ran in different directions.
During the struggle Smith says he held
on to his watch and chain and made con-
siderable cutlery. A fireman, Jim Murphy,
came where he was, but the thieves had
vanished. Smith says he would recognize
the party who was striking at him with the
knife IL he should come across him again.
He says he does not regret the loss of the
money as much as he does the pocketbook,
whicn he values highly on account Of being
an old family heirloom.
Smith claims that his family will give
$500 reward for the apprehension Of any or
all Of the thieves. with the pocketbook. He
says that he has lived many years IN Sa-
vannah, and has been in many and danger
GUS places, but bad never had an experience
before like that Of yesterday morning.

An Inebriated Individual Finds Him.
self in Jail for It
A. G. Hall, a white man living out on the
Mulberry road, was arraigned before
Magistrate Warning Russell, Jr., last night,
charged with attempt to murder and also
with carrying concealed weapons. The
complaint was preferred by a
City and Suburban railway conductor.
Thursday night Hall boarded one OF
the City and Suburban cars at Battery
park under the influence of liquor, and
commenced quarreling with the conductor
about the fare, using very abusive language.
Remonstrance proved of no avail, and the
colored driver, Andrew johnson, told him
that il he didn't shut up he'd
put him Off the car. Upon
this he stepped off the car. and, drawing q
pistol, fired several times at the negro. He
failed to hit him, however, and as a result
Of his attempt he now finds himself ain
limbo" The magistrate decided that the
Jail was the proper place TO restrain his
shooting propensities until the grand jury
can interest itself 10 his case.

then good meats are assured. Fl. Logan has
these facilities, and is always prepared to
serve his customers with the very best the
market affords. He furnishes families with
. choice selection Of meats at all times, and
therefore is always busy. The convenience
and pleasure Of marketing at stalls 81 and
