A BODY FOUND IN THE RIVER.
Lem Tison, a Brunswick Refugee,
Walks Over the Wharves

The body of a bright mulatto, who was
at first mistaken for a white person, and
who was afterwards identified as Lem
Tison, was found floating in the river at
the foot of Lincoln street, according to
the statement of Coroner Dixon, about z
O'Clock yesterday morning.
I1son was Brunswick refugee and
was last seen alive in the city Friday
night, when he took an electric car at
Charlton and Price streets, coming to-
wards the Bay. Parties who were with
him at the time say that he was intoxi-
Gated and that he had been implicated in
a difficulty a few minutes before. in which
he got pretty severe drubbing. He left
the car at St Julian and Price streets,
and it is supposed that being too drunk to
know where he was going, he wandered
down to the river and walked into it.
Coroner Dixon was notified yesterday
morning as soon as the body had been
found, and he took it in charge. An in
quest was held but no facts were brought
out to show that his death resulted from
anything else than accidental drowning,
and verdict was rendered accordingly.
The body was buried in Laurel Grove
cemetery. Nothing else, whatever, was
known with regard to the manner in
which Tison met his death. When first
turned over to the coroner he was mis-
taken for white man. and was about to
be buried as such. Everything about his
appearance indicated it, and such might
have been the case, had not a colored
man called at the office of the coroner
about noon and identified it as the body
of his roommate The two lived on st.
Julian street, and Tison, he said, had been
here from Brunswick only three or four
weeks, Tison was about 81 years old, and
came originally FROM Columbus, Ga. He
had been employed at the Central railroad
since being in the city.
A number of letters and a bunch of
keys were found in the dead mans
pockets. Among the letters was a rec
ommendation from the assistant yard
master of the Brunswick and Western
railroad, dated Aug. 3. 1t spoke of him
as man well qualified for railroad work,
and said that he was one of the best
couplers that the signer had ever seen.
One of the letters dated previous to those
addressed to him here, was sent to jack
sonyille, which seemed to indicate that
he had gone there before coming to Sa-
vannah, All the letters, except one.
which was from his brother, also a
Brunswick refugee at Waynesville, were
from woman who signed herself Pearl,
and who seemed to be in urgent need of
funds, which she wanted Tison to send to
her at once at Scotland Neck, N, c.. The
last of the letters thanked him for a sum
of money which, it seems, he had finally
sent,

LOOKING At THE FEVER.
Surgeon General Wyman Making a
Tour Of Inspection.

A Conference OF the Surgeons With a
View to Taking Proper Steps During
the Winter to Guard Against Any
Danger From the Disease Next Year.
All Infected Houses in the Fever
Districts to be Fumigated.
Surgeon General Wyman, of the
marine hospital service, passed
through Savannah yesterday morn
ing en- route to Waycross. He
was accompanied by Surgeon Hutton,
who was stationed for awhile at Bruins
wick.
The surgeon-general wired DIR, Brun-
ner that he would arrive in Savannah on
the Coast Line train at S;35 o'clock and
DR.. Drummer was at the depot to meet
him. DIR. Wyman had about twenty
minutes in the city, which he spent in
conference with DR.. Drummer and repre-
sentatives of the press.
The object of the surgeon generals
visit to the yellow fever district is to lay
plans for the complete stamping out of all
traces of the disease this winter and to
remove, so far as possible, the possibility
of a revival of the disease next summer.
This is d work in which Savannah and
this entire section is vitality interested
and the efforts of the surgeon general
will receive the heartiest approval of the
people,
COLD WINTER HOPED FOR.
A cold winter, DIR. Wyman said, is to be
devoutly hoped for, as the exposure of all
infected articles, such as bedding
and clothing, to the cold air, is the
best means of disinfection. The inspec-
tors of the marine hospital service will
be notified to see that the work of
carried out during the cold weather. DR..
Wyman said it will also be necessary to
fumigate the infected houses.
DIR. Wyman went from here to Way
cross where he will examine the system
of quarantine inspection established by
Surgeon Carter. He will next visit the
camp of detention and will investigate
the condition of affairs there and decide
how much longer it will be necessary to
maintain the camp.
TO CONFER WITH THE DOCTORS.
DIR. Wyman's object in coming south is
to confer with Surgeons Carter Murray
Geddiugs and other members of the ma
rine hospital service now engaged in the
Brunswick district.
The surgeon general has accepted an
invitation from Mayor McDonough to
stop over in Savannah on his return
north, as the guest of the city. He will
spend day or two in Savannah sometime
next week on his return trip.
Surgeon Hutton, who accompanied the
surgeon general, is bound for Chandelier
on the gulf coast. 1t will be remembered
that. during the recent severe storm in
the gulf, among other damage done, the
government quarantine station at
Chandelier was destroyed and several
lives lost. The surgeon in charge was
the only one who escaped with his life
There is a great deal of work for the
marine hospital service on the gulf coast,
as great distress exists as the result of
the storm, and Surgeon Hutton will have
his hands full

TO BE DIVIDED UP.
The Men Who Captured Walker Will
be Rewarded.


The officers who risked their lives to
capture March Walker will get the re-
ward offered for his apprehension by the
city and probably that offered by the
state also.
1t was unanimously decided at the
special session of the city council last
night that the reward offered by the
mayor on authority Of council should be
paid.
This was the first business taken up by
council after the meeting was called to
order. The mayor made report stating
that upon the receipt of certain informa-
ton as to Walkers whereabouts he had
ordered a detachment of police to make
the effort to arrest him. They had faith
fully and successfully performed their
mission, he said, at much hardship and at
the risk of their lives. He recommended
accordingly that the reward be equally
divided among the four members of the
police department, Assistant Chief Reilly,
Sergeant Baughn and Mounted Officers
Mcclure and Floyd, and Mr. Thompson
and Constable Baker, colored, of Bryan
county, who assisted in his capture.
The mayors recommendation was
unanimously agreed to.
Mayor McDonough also wrote Governor
Northeu yesterday, giving an account of
how Walker came to his death, and
recommending that the reward offered by
the state be paid to the six men who as
sisted in his apprehension. He
offered to disburSe the money
to the proper parties if the governor
would forward it TO him.
There is no doubt that the state reward
will be paid promptly and that the cap
tors of March Walker will receive what
is justly due them.

NO DECISION ABOUT SHOPS.
The F. @. & P. Has Come. to No Deter
mination About Their Location.

mlnaLlon ABOUT Ihelr Location.
Much speculation has been INDUCED in
with regard to the location of the shops
which are to be used by the Florida Cen
trail and Peninsular railroad, and it has
been believed by many for some time that
they would be located in Savannah
The fact is however that the officials
OF the road have come to no determination
whatever with regard 10 the matter.
1hls statement may be taken as reliable,
as 1t comes from an Official of the road
VINO will have say so in the matter when
II IS decided upon, and who knows what
he is talking about. The Columbia State
records the visit of President Duval to that
city day or two ago, and connects that
visit with the idea that the shops which
the system is to use in this section are to
be located there, or that they will at least
join the Richmond and Danville and go
halves with that road in the matter of
shops at that point.
AS matter of fact, however, no such
plan has been decided upon. From the
same source of information it is learned
that no steps will be taken with regard
to locating the shops to be used in this
section until after the Savannah extern
sion has been completed, and even then it
may be some time before it is decided
whether any shops will be located here
as arrangements can be made with the
Central to do what work will be required,
as has been done in the case of the South
Bound.
AS to the shops of the system which
are now located at Fernandina and Jack
sonville, the idea of removing them has
never yet been discussed. Nothing has
been done on that line, but if they should
be removed, or any extensive system of
shops established in this section, Savan-
nah would probably get them, as the
facilities elsewhere cannot compare TO
those offered here; and the system owns
tract of land out at the junction sufti-
Gent in area to build and accommodate
shops for two or three systems of the
same size. There are many things, how
ever, which have to be taken into consid-
Grafton, and it takes some time for the
officials of a system to arrive at decision
as to what location would be most con-
venient and most desira BILE
1t is the same with arrangements for
terminal facilities at this point. Nego-
tiations were entered into with the Cen
trail for the use of their terminals by the
new system, but no satisfactory conclu-
sions have yet been reached. What will
be done about this remains to be seen, as
the officials do not know much more
about it than those less interested who
would like to know.

a RESTAURANT MAN WANTED.
Frank Neill of the Marshall House
Cafe Missing.

Cafe Missing.
The police have been notified to look
out for Frank Neill, the proprietor of the
Marshall house restaurant Neil has
not been seen since Monday night and
the restaurant is closed. He left debts
to the amount of several hundred dollars
behind him. and besides borrowed of two
or three of his acquaintance in the most
approved manner
Neill opened up a restaurant at the
Marshall house about five weeks ago, and
appeared TO be doing very fair business
He ran up large bills with MIR John
Lynch, the well-known grocer, and Mr..
w. S. Cherry These bills are still unpaid
NELL announced to several of his friends
that he was going in with another party
to buy out Mr.. Q. f. Graham's saloon on
Congress street. He talked good deal
about this proposed move, and succeeded
in interesting several of his friends, to
all OF whom he promised positions. He
stated that he was going to make the
trade with Mr.. Graham Monday night.
OF one young man to whom he had
promised position in case the trade was
made he asked the loan of a handsome
gold watch, which was readily granted
OF another acquaintance who had also
been promised a job he asked the loan of
a diamond pin, which was also granted.
His excuse for asking these loans was
that he wanted to make a neat appearance
when he went to make the trade for the
saloon. Both the young men would like
very much to see Neill now. Neill also
owed all his employees. He had paid no
rent on the place since he began business.
II is thought that Neill might have left
on the City of Augusta Monday night,
and Inspector Byrnes of New York was
telegraphed to look out for him Neill
was chef at j. J. Sullivan's restaurant
last season and is well known in Savannah
