More About the Exercises to BE Held in
Stokes Hall on Friday Even

There came near being a serious runa-
way at the depot yesterday evening. A
team belonging to Mr.. George Hardin
and driven by a colored man, took fright
at shifting train, and had it not been
for the bravery of Mr.. Joe Shoffner, who
clung tenaciouly to the reins, sometimes
in the air and at other times jerked to
and fro, the occupants of the carriage,
four ladies, would doubtless have been
seriouly injured. The engineer, in his
cab took in the situation and stopped his
train.
Greater care should be exercised in
such places and careful drivers only
should be employed.

Speculation Rife as to the Candidates
on Both Tickets.
Everybody is now specializing as TO the
makeup Of Mayor McDonough's Aldermanic
ticket aud anxiously awaiting the appoint
ment Of the selection committee Of twenty
hve,t TO see If their prophecies will be fulfilled
As Mayor McDonough has announced he
only wants men in thorough accord with
bis ideas of the enforcement of the
Sunday laws the spectators have neces-
sarlly TO leave certain members of the pres
emit board entirely out of consideration.
Those who are being picked from the board,
however, are Aldermen, Charlton, Cam,
Mills, O'Brien and Dixon, with possibility
OF Alderman Haines being selected.
Alderman Harmon will give out no In
formation about his aldermanic ticket until
after the McDonough ticket Is announced
Aldermen Myers and Reid Of the present
board Will probably be on it, together with
j. +. Lubs, who has been put forward by
the First district. The remainder of the
ticket, it Is said, will be made OF young

DIR. MILLEN MURDERED.
HIS BODY HIDDEN IN g SWAMP
BY THE ASSASSIN.

Killed While Driving to His Home
Last Mouday-His Horse Found
Wandering About Yesterdsy-It
Was the First Clew snd Afterwsrd
Led to the Discovery of the Body in
the Swamp Grass.
Amid the tall grasses of Salt Water creek
swamp, lying in the muck, the body OF Dr.
George r. Millen was found yesterday.
Cruelty done to death by some unknown
miscreant, the old man was hidden away
in the swamp by the murderer in
the hope that nature or vultures would do
away with the body before any trace Of
him could be secured by his friends and
relatives.
The place where the body was found is
beings seldom go. DR.. Millen was in
the city Monday, and when he
left for bis country home
on the Ogeechee road that was the last time
he was seen alive He drove away behind
bis faithful old horse, and when he failed to
reach home his folks sent messengers into
the city to look for him. No trace could be
found and detec tives were employed to To-
cate him.
The ir efforts 20 get even the faintest clew
Of the missing man we're unavailing, and the
outlook appeared hopeless, when yesterday
morning Dr. Millen's old horse, dragging
the buggy behind him, was found wan-
dering aimlessly about on the
Ogeechee road about three miles
from the city. A searching party was at
once organized and began active operations
along the roads and among the creeks.
Finally one detachment discovered evidences
Of a struggle near the edge of Salt Water
creek.
The searchers pushed on, following the
footprints until they came to the swamp
Into 1t they went, and in q few minutes
they found DR.. Miilen's body lying in
9 heavy growth Of tall grass, half
buried In the muck. His neck was broken
and his skull crushed. He had evidently
been dead sinoe Monday, as his body was
rapidly decomposing.
Coroner Dixon was notified of the affair,
but postponed an inquest until to-day, and
gave Undertaken Henderson permission to
remove the body. he went out last night,
but had not returned TO the city up 70 8
o'clock this morning, Il was late 10 the
afternoon when DR.. Millen's body was
found, and the news did not
reach the city until o'clock
The case is shrouded in mystery. No
motive for the murder can be given except
that somebody killed DR.. Millen for re-
venge for some fancied wrong.
The murdered man was about 60
years old and was well-known here, es-
pecially In his connection as heir and
plaintiff In the famous Millen land suit, in
yolving one Of the finest residence portions
ofthe city, which case is now in the supreme
court

A Card From DR.. Falligant.

Editor Morning NeiDS: In the record of
the proceedings of council of Dec. 81, pub
lished in your paper of yesterday, find in
letter from s. P. Hamilton Co Herman
Myers the following declaration:
"Dr. then Alderman Falligant had
nothing whatever to do with, nor did he in
any way influence this company or its presi-
dent in making the low bid for lighting the
city,
The statement does me gross injustic Q,
and called upon him at once for an ex-
PLANTATION. During the negotiations in con-
nection with the renewal of the electric
light contract | had several conferences
with Mr.. Hamilton I'm my capacity as an
alderman, in which he explained TO me the
differences in the cost of the lights at the
time OF the original contract with the city
and four years afterward. he further said
to me that without the contract with the
city his company would not have business
enough to keep going" This was substan-
italy an appeal to me to help his company
in securing the renewal Of the contract with
the city. | advised him to get his board
of directors to give the city the lowest
figures covering fair interest on their in
vestment and IUOuld do all could to
help him. They gave council such figures
after my conference with Mr.. Hamilton
and voted for their acceptance How
Dir. Hamilton can reconcile these facts
with his above quoted statement / leave
him to determine His statement conoeals
instead of tells the facts; and by this trick
Herman Myers was enabled to perpetrate
an outrage on me by using council to carry
out his trick. LOUIS A. FALLIGANT.

FIRE ON sHIPBOARD.
A Big Blaze in the Cotton Cargo OF the
Steamship Grao

A Big Blaze in the Cotton Cargo OF the
Steamship Grao
Fire broke out In the after hold Of the
Spanish steamship Grao. loading cotton for
Barcelona at the Tyler press. yester day aft
ernoon about 8 o'clock. An alarm was
turned In from box 70 and the fire depart
ment was soon alongside the ship. AL
| though tine smoke on deck was very dense
the firemen soon succeeded in getting sew
eral streams into the hold between decks,
where the blaze was located. 1t was found
necessary to ill the two lower holds with
water.
Before the firemen arrived, however, a
stream from the press was put on the burn =
ing cotton on deck and also from the ships
pumps, which did some effective work in
keeping the flames down.
There were two lighter loads OF cotton
alongside the steamer, from which she was
| being loaded, and these we're moved out Of
close proximity TO the fire, while the burnr
ing bales on deck were rapidly dumped
overheard and secured, so as to prevent
them from floating away, and by this means
the tremen were soon enabled TO get down
into the hold. The two lower
holds we're filled with water by 7:30
O'Clock last night when the ship had a con-
siderable list to stsrboard. During the
progress of the fire the tugs Regis. H. NJ. G.
Smith and Jacob Paulsen rendered their
services, which were declined by Chief
Puder.
The fire originated In a bale of cotton
which had been hauled no on board from
one OF the lighters alongside aud almost as
soon as 1t struck the hatch comb
ings a blaze burst forth. The current of air
coming up out Of the hetchway famed the
fire, and the bale was soon mass of flames.
AS 1t hung In the Sings the burning colt IN,
| which had become loosened by striking the
combings, was scattered, and fell into the
second hold on top Of the cotton which was
slowed there, and the fire leaped from bale
20 bale with ightning-like rapidity.
In the lower after hold between 500 and
600 barrels of rosin we're stored, and In the
two upper holds between !, 100 and 200
bales Of cotton. The cotton In she hold
under the main deck Is damaged very little
except at the bottom tier Of bales by water
Considerable confusion was created on
board the vessel among the crew owing to
their inability 70 understand English. and
the orders OF the chief fireman were slow in
being carried out
The approximate loss cannot be stated
as yet. but IL is estimated that the cotton
will be damaged TO the extent Of SIS, 600. 1t
is covered by insurance.
Chief Puder as a matter of precaution
left two OF the call men aud two lines of
hose at the vessel during the night.
survey will be held on the Grao this
morning. The fire was very unfortunate
and broke Savannah's really fine record for
this season, being the first OF its character
OF any consequence.

PLANTING OYSTERS.
An Oysterman Considers Maj. Rysls'
Law a Great Thing.

An Oysterman Considers Mai. Ryals'
Law a Great Thing.
MIR. Henry Ambos Of Thunderbolh, who
Is one Of the oldest oystermen in Georgia,
comes out very strongly in favor of the
oyster law. When the passage OF the bill
protecting oysters was first agitated Mr..
Ambos was one of the strongest opponents
OF the measure, but to-day he is as heartily
in favor of the law.
He says that 80 great has been the in
crease in oysters since the law was passed
that he alone can supply the local demand
from his own beds, and that now instead OF
investing in real estate and securities he is
putting every dollar in his oyster business
In view Of the political issues that are
being made against those who favored the
oyster law, Mr.. Ambos wants to 90 on
record as one who believes that Mai. Ryals
and others, who were instrumental in se-
curing these great benefits to the people.
| should be rewarded for their good work by
the public.
when succeeded to my fathers oyster
business" said Mr.. Ambos. "and
for many years afterwerd, all the
trade came from the natural beds In Chat
ham county. and oyster planting in those
days was not necessity. Since then, how
ever, the natural beds have become so ex-
hausted that it he's become necessary to 90
out OF Chatham county for d supply, ana
to resort TO oyster planting. None Of my
large boats have procured a bushel of
oysters from Chatham county in the last
five years, although originally the beds In
this county had better and more oysters
than any others. In time these latter will
also be used up, and planting is, there
fore. becoming more and more necessary.
Besides, cultivated oysters are better than
those of natural growth. Without an
oyster law planting would be impossible for
| want Of legal protection.
THE final destruction OF the natural
| beds, only question of time, without plant.
ing, would destroy the occupation Of all
alike who make support out of oysters,
aud, as the present law discriminates in
| favor OF none, thirty-three colored men
holding leases in Chatham county, |, for
one protest against the present agitation
| about it. AS far as the question of supply
is concerned it will be greatly increased Il
those who hold leases will go to work. Their
failure to do 80 would be no fault of the
law, but no doubt many will not avail
themselves OF the fine opportunities offered
them. In so far an my own trade Is con-
csrned my supply is now greater than the
demand at the usual prices learn that
| our export trade has been injured because
the oyster supply has been 30 greatly in
creased In Virginia by oyster planting that
Norfolk firms are enabled to undersel the
| Savannah dealers In Atlanta and elsewhere.
The strike for higher prices may have also
| had something 20 do with IL, but that was
agitated on account of the increasing soar
| city Of oysters in Chatham county before
the law was passed. Probably ii would be
| better for the Savannah trade if 10 had bean
| enacted six years ago."
