IN THE GALLONS SHADOW.
Thorpe win Pay he Extreme Pen
alty in Two Weeks.

The Boy Murderer So Far Turns a
Deaf Ear to Religion and Prepare
ton 10 Meet His Maker-His Fate
Distresges Him and he Takes No
Pains to Conceal His Feelings.
Sheriff Roman Thinks Thorpe win
Seek Religious Consolation Before
Many Days.
Two weeks from to-day Samuel Thorpe,
alias SAMMY de Kid" will forfeit his
life in the gallows room Of the Jail for the
murder of Charles Brlnson.
Although the hoy murderer's time on
earth is short he has as yet given no
thought to the future as far as receiving
spiritual consolation is concerned. Col
ored ministers have visited Thorpe and
talked to him, but the condemned youth
seems hardened and pays no heed to the
warnings to prepare his soul to meet his
God.
Thorpe, however, appreciates the fact
that there is now no chance for him to
escape the penalty of the law, and the
sad, wistful look on his face betokens his
regret, not for the crime of which he is
guilty, but its results, which means ter
rible ending to his own life.
HOW HE SPENDS HIS TIME.
The murderer sits for hours some days
on the bunk in his cell, with his face
buried in his hands, as If in deep
and distressing thought, never
speaking to any one unless first spoken to.
Then he will change his position and
stand for another long period at the era ted
window of his cage looking steadily out
toward the street which he will never
tread again.
The thoughts which fit over Thorpe's
mind during these intervals must touch
the heart hardened to religion, for often
times the guards detect tears In the con-
demned boys eyes as he turns from the
window and its sunshine to gaze into the
dark corridor, which to him will be the
avenue of death in few days.
WILL TAKE TO RELIGION SOON.
Thorpe gives no trouble to his jailers,
and they speak well of his behavior since
his confinement. His appetite is good
and he sleeps well at night, prooa-
bly, because the mind and body are tired
by the long days thoughts of the APP
preaching doom. Sheriff Roman expects
Thorpe to turn toward religion at an
early day In his long experience he has
noticed that few condemned murderers
begin to think about receiving spiritual
consolation until within ten days or a
week OF the time set for their execution,
and he does not think Thorpe will prove
an exception to the general rule.
PREPARATIONS FOR THE HANGING.
The rope which will launch ''de kid"
into eternity is in the Jail Office, and it
will be creased and tested next week.
Thorpe will be allowed to select the
hour for his death the night before the
execution. If he follows the rule of those
who have preceded him in the gallows
room he will select 930 or 10 o'clock.
None have felt like keeping the agony off
until the afternoon. The court gives the
sheriff from 9 o'clock until 4 o'clock to
carry out the sentence, and the prisoner
is always given the privilege of naming
his time between these hours
Nobody need ask Sheriff Roman for
passes to the execution. None will be
given out, and only court officers, physi-
clans and newspaper men will be allowed
to see the hanging

VOLUNTARY MANsLAUaHTER.
That Is What the Coroner's Jury
Calls Blacks Killing.

The coroner's jury which investigated
the killing of Joe Black at Tybee by Mack
Lilly, an account of which appeared in
Yesterdays MORNING News, decided it to
be a case of voluntary manslaughter, and
Justice Naughtin issued a commitment to
that effect against Lilly. w. F. Morri-
son, Esq, has been employed to defend
the prisoner.
The inquest lasted from 10 o'clock
until O'Clock. The most impor-
tant testimony was given by Katie Bur-
dett, the colOred housekeeper. She said
Lilly came into the cook room after dim
ner and began criticising some biscuits
which Black had cooked. This started a
row, and Black chased Lilly out with a
meat cleayer. After getting outside Lilly
began talking to a waiter through the
window and Black struck him in the face.
Lilly did not resent the blow but went
into the laundry and locked the door.
BY this time Black was greatly excited
and announced his intention to do up
Lilly. AS he started for the laundry the
Burdett woman caught him by the arm
and begged him to turn back. "Mack
has got a gun in there" she said, "and if
you follow him he'll kill you"
gun at me it will be the last time he will
ever raise one" answered Black as he
broke the woman's hold and went on to
the laundry. Finding the door closed
Black forced it with his shoulder, but the
moment it swung back Lilly fred and the
cook dropped in his tracks. The
Burdett woman said Black was
marmed when he broke into the laundry,
and that was probably the reason which
prompted the jury to hold Lilly for trial at
the superior court.
Mr.. Morrison is confident of securing an
acquittal for Lilly, and will make applica-
ton for bail in q few days.

The Vtsanska Concert.

Despite the hot weather Masonic temple
will be well filed at the concert to be
given by the Visanska children, Bertha
and Daniel, on Monday night next.
The concert is under the auspices of the
Young Mems Hebrew Association, which
has already placed large number of
tickets among its friends and the musical
people of Savannah.
These children are both virtuosos on
their respective instruments, piano and
violin, and the performance of the young
miss, who is only IL years of age, was pro-
nounced truly remarkable by the New
York papers, where she played before
large and critical audiences, receiving the
highest praise They bespeal1 for her
future full of promise.

SHUT OUT Bx rHE RAIN.
Savannah and New Orleans to Play
To-day, the Weather Permitting.

Savannah and New Orleans TO Play
To-day, the Weather Permitting.
Savannah and New Orleans were pre-
vented from playing yesterday, owing 70
the heavy rain OF the night before and
early yesterday morning Between l aud
2 o'clock the weather gave promise OF
clearing up and large number Of people
gathered around the Pulaski, hoping the
teams would try TO play, but another
heavy rain began falling and IL was with
reluctance that the fans submitted to
the inevitable and returned to their
places Of business.
Weather permitting, there will be game
to-day. Savannah will put up Meakim
and Hurley, while Iuby and Baldwin
will do like honors for the visitors. Luby
is New Orleans star pitcher, while Bald
win is said to be the best catcher in the
league. Meakim is in good condition and
Hurley's work behind the bat cannot be
improved upon. Both teams are putting
up a most excellent fielding game and are
the two heaviest hitting clubs in the
league.
Baldwin thinks Savannah has a great
team.
Baldwin is one of the best throwing
catchers in the league.
Connaughton will probably catch one Of
the games Saturday.
McQuaide, late of Chattanooga, has
signed with Nashville.
Memphis is calling loudly for new
pitcher She is weak In the box.
Polhemus leads the New Orleans team
in batting, with an average of .449.
Owing to the postponement Of the game
yesterday to-day will be Ladies day.
Savannah is now in fourth place, with
a percentage of $50. Montgomery is just
II points behind US.
York and Miller, recently released by
Macon, have been signed by Earle, and
will join the Birmingham team at once.
Montgomery has two more pitchers in
sight-Slagil of Allentown, Pa. and Prages
of St. Joseph, Mo. Both are recon-
mended as good men.
"Sandy" McDermott who succeeded
Harrington on the umpire staff, will Off
ciate at to-day's game. He is reported to
be one Of the best in the business.
F. r. Parvin, the new pitcher signed
by Montgomery, arrived this morning
from St. Joseph, Mo. and he will so in
the box this afternoon. He is an immense
fellow.
Two games win be played tomorrow
for one admission. The first game will
begin at 2 o'clock, the other commencing
Immediately after the conclusion of the
first.
Billy Earle is now running the Birming
ham club at the expense of the league.
Mcmahon, who joined Montgomery, and
Parrott, who went to Chicago, will both
be forced to return to the club.
The following communication was re-
ceived last night from one of the patrons.
The writer's suggestion is a good one and
it is hoped that Manager Manning will
comply with his request: 81 would like
to suggest to Manager Manning that he
erect a score board on the ball ground in
view Of the audience AS it is now, no
one knows the score, even after the game
is over. They have them in other cities
and it would certainly add to the interest
of the game here"

GIVE HER A CHANCE,
Miss Humphreys Many Friends Want
to Hear the Gifted Singer.

Editor Morning News: With surprise
and regret we notice that O'Neill's Opera
Company is not giving Savannah the same
fine music that Charleston enjoyed. Miss
Humphreys, the prima donna, is a gifted
artist and refined lady and should sing
the same role that she did in Charleston.
No one can doubt but that she is supe-
rior artist-far above any in the COM
pany-and highly accomplished, and we
do not understand the treatment toward
her. We would suggest to Manager
ONeill to look into this matter and not
allow the musical director to treat this
most worthy artist and lady with any
slight. She is entitled to the utmost con-
sideration and should receive it. Miss
Humphreys has many admirers who hope
that Justice will be done her.
MANY FRIENDS.

A M1srR1AL DECLARED.
The Jury in the Hodges Case Fails to
Reach a Verdict.

Reach a Verdict.
The Carhart case against the Mer-
chants National Bank is now as far off
from settlement as when the suit was
first filed in the city court, despite the
fact that it has taken up the time of the
court for nearly a week. Day before yes
terday the defense tried to have the suit
thrown out of court on the ground
that neither Mr.. Carhart nor his agents
had even made demand for the securities
alleged to have been hypothecated by
Cashier Gadsden, but the PLAINTIFFS at
torneys met this move with an amend
ment to the petition showing the demand
had been made. This crystallized the
evidence of their case, but the banks at
torneys held that it really introduced
new features and made a change, and
yesterday morning, after the plaintiff
closed, an appeal was made for a con-
tinuance until next term, in order to give
an opportunity to meet the alleged new
phase. Judge MacDonell, after hearing
argument on the motion, granted it, and
the case will have to be gone all over
again at the next term.
A mistrial was declared yesterday by
Judge Falligant In the assault with intent
