kRr.ANoHo,s DEATH ACCIDENTAL.
HIS Watch and Chain in the Coroner's
Possession.

Possession.
The runor Of foul play In connection
with the death Of Charles F. Blanche, who
was killed in the elevator OF the Odd Fellows
building q week ago, which has been cur
rent for day or two, has little foundation.
The runner was based upon the disappear
snce Of the desd mans watch and chain,
which somebody suddenly remembered
day or two ago. was missing from the
body when It was discovered.
| Coroner Dixon found the watch
! and chain In Blancho's trunk, where, &C
cordinR 70 the statement OF his roommate,
! Il had been for two weeks previous to bis
death. There was something wrong with
the watch and Blanche did not carry IL.
| The colored porter at Schwarz's, who
claimed TO have seen the watch on Blanche
Sunday night. was mistaken.
Fred Habersham, the elevator conductor,
who is alleged TO have stated that he found
the third floor elevator door open the night
the body was discovered, but forgot to tell
about 10 in the excitement, must be labor
ing under q hallucination. Habersham
never stopped TO examine any door when
he saw the man on top of the elevator.
Coroner Dixon, Assistant Chief of Police
Killourhy and q MORNING NEWS reporter
examined the elevator doors The third
floor door was locked from the inside Of the
shaft, and could not be opened from the
hall. The door on the top floor was found
open, and an examination showed the spring
TO be broken. All that was required to
open the deor was to gently shove 1t, and ii
ran back easily on the slide. As all the
other doors we're secured, the decision was
naturally arrived at that Blanche had mis-
taken the elevator door for some other one,
pulled il open unthinkingly and
stepped TO his death. His pipe stem
was still in his mouth when
the body was found, the bowl having been
broken of in the fall. Had any one muir
dered Blanche be would probably have not
left the pipe In his mouth. Several dollars
were also found in the dead mans pockets.
which showed plainly that no murder had
been committed for robbery.
The coroner made thorough investiga-
ton Of every circumstance connected with
Blanoho's movements from the time he ate
supper Sunday night until his body was
discovered in the elevator, and there was
nothing 10 give even suspicion of foul
play. Everything pointed TO the fact that
Blanche, after eating supper at SchwarE's,
went to the Odd Fellows building, and in
trying to get into the library or toilet room
became confused In the dark and got into
the elevator.
Coroner Dixon said last night 10 MORN

TIE DRAWING DIDN'T COME OFF.
The Cooperative Watch Clubs Sudden
Wind Up.

49, -
The Co-operativs Watch Company, O
Chicago watch club coacern. which has had
an Office in the Odd Fellows building for
several months, hasgon out of cuisines aud
taken with it many dollars belonging to Sa-
vannahians. As result quite a number
OF people who were paying 81 week and
anticipating a reward in the shape of gold
Tiled watch are fighting mad
The plan OF the Cooperative Watch
Company was a splendid one for the COM
pany. Forty persons were taken into a
cub, each paying 81 per week. Every
week $l4 Rold-flled watch was drawn for,
and the individual who held the lucky
number got this watch without further
payment He might have paid S1 or he
might have paid $50.
The plan worked 70 perfection and hun
dreds invested in it. The last man 70 draw
in a club had 70 pay $40 for the privilege
OF sporting s14 watch, but he took that
risk ia joining.
Every Saturday at II o'clock the draw
ings have taken place at the company's
headquarters amidst q crowd of patrons,
but yesterday, when the patrons went 10
witness the weekly turn Of luck. they found
the door locked They waited patiently for
some time, but, as Agent Lee didn't show
up, they got anxious. Some went to hunt
for him, but be couldn't be found
Then several who had paid into the club
over $50 went before Justice Nsughtin and
took liens on the property of the company.
When Detective Wetherhorn opened the
office and took charge all be found was
safe, desk, few chairs and the mating on
the floor. AL the watches were gone.
The members Of the club poured in and
liens were piled up on the little property by
the dozen. Quite a number had paid in
$35. One man held receipts for $50, and
was to have paid bis last dollar yesterday
aud secured tiInepiece. He was the mad
dest OF the lot, aud from the way he talked
it wouldn't have been good thing for any
OF The Chicago Watch Company people TO
have crossed his path.
The officers think that Agent Lee has left
town, but his friends seem to think be will
turn up and set things right in few days.

The American committee In charge of
Baron de Hirsch's fund for the prosecuted
Jews of Russia has begun distributing the
refugees In different parts of the country.

The committee furnishes the refugees with
tickets to their destination, and on their
arrival there the Jewish people are ex-
pected to see that they are provided for.
Those now In Savannah
have been temporarily cared for by several
well-known Jewish citizens, but as they are
unable to speak English and will need fur
Their aid until suitable employment can be
found for them, President Joseph Rosen-
helm OF Mickva Israel congregation has
called meeting Of the Israelites Of the city,

them and make them good citizens. They
have been terribly prosecuted and we want
to give them a start in life in suitable CO.
equations. These people are not paupers
and after they become settled will make
good citizens. Many of them are trades
men, and these will be found places In their
respective callings 1t is our intention TO
also teach the refugees the English language.
The object of the meeting is a laudable one,
and 1t is expected that there will be a large
attendance
The meeting will probably result in the
formation Of a branch society of the
American Committee for Ameliorating
the Condition of the Russian Refugees as
circulars asking for such an organization
have been recently received by the differ
ent congregations and l. o. B. B. lodges.
