NO cLEw TO WALKER YET.
Various Theories as to the Negroes
Whereabouts.

Nothing was discovered of March
Walkers whereabouts yesterday. 1t is
believed by some that he is still in the
city, while others are confident that he is
hiding on the sea islands.
The detectives have not given up the
case by any means, but have only settled
down to a steady hunt. Pictures and de-
scriptions of Walker have been
sent to all the surrounding towns
and cities in Georgia and Florida, and
detectives and police officers everywhere
have been notified to watch out for him.
The detectives are anxious to get Walker
on the run, as they are satisfied II he
tries to leave this section he will be
picked up by some of the numerous per
sons who are on the lookout for him.
Gov. Northen will probably offer a re-
ward for Walker to-day. Representative
l olan yesterday telegraphed the gov
ernOr, giving a brief account Of the
crime and asking him to offer reward
for Walkers arrest. A reply was re-
ceiyed requesting full information with
the statement that a reward Of $500
would be offered if the circumstances
warranted it. Mr. Doolan wrote the gov
ernor last night giving a full history
Of the case, and there is little doubt that
he will issue his proclamation Offering
the reward.
There was a generally expressed Opin-
ion yesterday that the city should offer a
reward for his arrest and delivery to the
proper authorities. Such crime as
Walkers has not been committed in the
city in a score of years, and perhaps
twice as long, and there is a general be-
lief that it devOlves upon the city to take
more than the usual means to secure his
apprehension.
Not less than $500 is the figure at which
is placed the reward that should be paid
to Walkers captors. With the reward of
$500 that is certain to be offered by the
governor, supplemented by an offer of
$500 from the city there would
be sufficient inducement to set people
everywhere throughout this section to
searching for Walker and officers of the
law of every class would feel warranted
in undergoing some personal expense in
investigating reports brought TO them
from various sources.
So general is the belief that extraordi-
nary inducements should be offered for
Walkers arrest that a subscription list
was talked of yesterday to raise fund
to be offered as a reward for Walkers
capture
If such a list was taken in
charge by the proper parties there would
be no difficulty in securing subscriptions
to the amount Of several hundred dollars,
so general is the interest in this matter
A reward of ST. 900 would not be too
much to pay for the capture of such
criminal

work yesterday. He was notified that a
man named Oliver Thatcher was wanted
in Macon for larceny. The detective
located him in a house on Jones street,
where he had recently moved with his
family. He called there yesterday and
found Thatcher TO be big siX-foot mulat-

have to take you out of town.
Il haven't been in Brunswickr' ex-
claimed Thatcher. Il have just come

Where is your health certifcate7' he
was asked.
Here it is" he replied, exhibiting a
health certificate signed by Mayor Price
of Macon
This was one on the detective, but he
got around it by pointing out that the
name of the Macon health officer was not
on the certificate. He told Thatcher he
would have to go to the health officer and
give an account of himself. Thatcher did
not much want to do this, but he finally
agreed to go down and explain to DR..
Drummer.
Detective Bossell walked along the
street with Thatcher, explaining the in
tricacies of Savannah's quarantine sys-
TEN. When he reached the barracks
Thatcher walked in with him under the
impression that it was the city hall
Sergeant, lock this man up. He is
wanted in Macon" said Bossell as they
entered the sergeant's office.
Thatcher was speechless with surprise
when he found he was trapped.
II know what I'm wanted for" he said
when he recovered his breath
Thatcher is wanted in Macon for ste al
ing 800 in gold from Estes 4 Jones of that
city.

bookkeeper. Mr.. Savarese had gone down
to McDonough g. Ballantyne's mill on

Mr.. Savarese turned down that street in
front Of the car The car soon started,
and the motOrman began to ring the bell,
which seemed to frighJen the animal.
The horse started to run and Mr. Saw
arese says he could manage him only
with difficulty. He said it seemed 10 him
that the faster the horse went the faster
came the car and he thought the car was
racing with him. He attempted to turn
out at President street, and get out of the
way, and as he did so the horse rearedsand

which projects over the track struck him
in the launches and knocked him about
ten feet The horse fell DOWN and Mr.
Savarese under him but jumped to his
feet again and ran about twenty feet,
when he fell from the loss of blood. Mr..
Savarese had disengaged his foot from
the stirrup and got out uniniured The
horse died soon after from the loss of
blood
Motorman Clark says that Savarese
was riding along at the side of the car
from Liberty street to President, and
WOuld ride in front of il for hila nd
then hold up his horse until the car
caught up. He says he kept ringing the
gong but the rider would not get out of
the way. The horse, he says, became
frightened from something on the side
walk and jumped back against the car
He stated positively that the car was not
going at an unusual rate of speed.

TO HANDLE THE CROWDS.
UPSET BY A BATTERY.
A "Spider and Fly" Dancer Turns Up
Her Toes in the Electric Dance.


Leavitt's Spider aud fly Company
drew large audience last night. The
performance was all that is claimed for
it. The handsome costumes, beautiful
scenery, graceful dancers and excellent
singers, together with the funny men and
clown, made up a show worth seeing.
There are several new and attractive
features introduced this season. The
company is selected with care and good
taste, and each performer is an artist in
a particular line.
In the second act Mile. Roach met with
an accident, while doing her electric
dance. She received a shock from the
wires which threw her to the floor and
she was unable to rise, the weight of the
battery being so great. She was removed
from the stage and soon recovered, being
able to perform her novel and picturesque
dance during the third act.
While all the performers in the Spider
and Fly Company are excellent, those
worthy of special mention are Miss
Amelia Harrison as the Mermaid s
Queen" the Misses La Porte as the
spider and Fly Robert L. Bell, the
clever young comedian, as pickles" and
Mile. Craske as the premier danseuse.
The company will appear in Jackson
vile tonight.

A comparative statement of the clear

the United States, showing the amount

the same week last year, such as is given
in Bradstreets weekly report, shows
that the clearings of Savannah have in
creased for that week to a larger proper
tionate extent than in any other city in
the country.
Only four cities in the country show in
creased percentages in the amount of the
clearings, namely, Savannah %. s per cent.

and Bingha "a per cent. Every
other city in the United States shows a

AS the clearings are an indication of
the amount of business done, it may be
considered that hard times have not done
Savannah very much harm. The receipts
of new cotton at this port still continue
to be larger than at any other port in the

"a Straight Tip" will be the at

cesses the past two seasons in the princi-
pal theaters of the union, from Name to

the heartiest Endorsement OF the best
well-known theatrical managers through

has been printed and said about it the
patrons of the theater may anticipate an
evening Of great enjoyment in watching
its presentation. One critic says of the
straight Tip; 1T is clever, it Is origi-
nal and its dialogue is as crisp as a head
of lettuce; its repartee has the sparkle of
Moselle; its situations are easy, natural,
strong, ingenious and unconventional; its
climaXes very effective, its scenery is
realistic, its melodies are bright, catchy
and new; there is not an old gag or an
old chestnut in it. 1t is uproarously
funny and then it is clean and wholesome
and refined, and great advance on farce
comedy as it has been presented of late

At half past 9 O'Clock yesterday, when
the civil service examinations began in
the United States court room in the
custom house, only twenty-one applicants
presented their cards and asked to be
allowed to stand the examinations
Examination papers had been sent down
from Washington for forty applicants,

about that many on hand. OF those who
stood the examination IA want jobs as
railway mail clerks, as clerks in the
postoff1ce department, 2 as Copyists and 3
as assistant examiners in the patent
office, The examinations of the latter
were the most difficult of all, being in the
most part technical and scientific. They
comprise questions on nearly all the sub
jects relating to the patent Office. The
other examinations were more simple
consisting more of photography, penman-
ship, dictation, punctuation, arithmetic,
geography, and similar subjects
Nine of the applicants were colored
and the others white. The examinations
were all finished by about 4 o'clock in
the afternoon and were under the super
vision of Messrs. DeCastro, Coolidge and
Lemcke, the local board of civil service ex-
aminers. Postmaster Doyle was also
present during part of the time. The
papers will be sent to Washington at once

cided there.
