Welded IN T1LLmAN's CAPITOL.
]. A. Bell, of Columbia, Elopes With
Miss Cromwell, of Savannah.

The facts Of a Sunday elopement be-
came known in the city yesterday. The
parties were Miss Maria Cromwell, Of
this city, and Mr.. J. a. Bell, telegraph
operator of Columbia. S. c. According to
all accounts, the courtship was brief, but
it was evidently to the point.
The young people had been acquainted
for some time, but it was not known that
they had any serious intentions
Mr. Bell came down from Columbia last
week 20 spend a few days vacation here.
Whether he had matrimOny in mind when
he came is unknown. but he seemed very
much fascinated with Miss Cromwell, and
spent most of his time in her company.
Miss Cromwell will be remembered by
many as the tall, dark brunette who has
for some time attended to the Office work
at l.. II. Phillips dye house on BroughtCu
street near the Marshall house. She had
a pair of sparkling dark eyes and was
good looking. She boarded with her aunt
at No. 6S}5 Price street.
Sunday afternoon after dinner she in
formed her aunt that Mr.. Bell was about
10 return to his home in Columbia and
that she was going out with him for a
walk before he left.
The couple went directly from the
house to the Central railroad depot where
Mr.. Bell purchased two tickets 10 Column
bia by the South Bound. The couple were
seen together aboard the train before it
left the depot, but as there were very
few people in the depot at the time, and
the couple conducted themselves very
quietly, they attracted no attention.
They reached Columbia Sunday night,
where they at once secured the services
of a minister and were made husband and
wife.
The family in Savannah was unable to
account for the young lady's disappear
ance, and had no idea what had become
of her, until a telegram was received by
her sister announcing the marriage.
There does not seem to have been any
reason why the couple should have
eloped, except that they had made up
their minds to be married at once and
concluded to dispense with all prelimina-
ries. The couple will probably reside in
Columbia.
A Columbia dispatch to the MORNING
News says that upon their arrival in
Columbia Mr. Bell and Miss Cromwell
went at once to the Marion Street church
parsonage and were there united by the
Rev DIR. S. p. II. Elwell The bride mott
fed her people by wire of her marriage

ANOTHER FUGITIVE CAUGHT.
Guard Hill, Of South Carolina, Takes
Back Another Man.

Guard J. r. Hill, of the South Carolina
penitentiary, made another important ar
rest in Savannah last night. Henry J.
Smith, colored, is the party arrested. He
escaped from the penitentiary in 1888,
where he was serving a sentence for
murder.
Smith.was found in a house on Gwin-
nett street, near the cemetery last night
by Officer Hill He resisted arrest, and
drew pistol on the onicer. Mounted
Policeman McQuade arrived just at this
time fortunately, and assisted in the
making of the arrest. His arrival proba-
bly, prevented a shooting match.
1t is not absolutely certain that the
man arrested is Smith, and he will have
to be taken to the penitentiary for iden-
tihcation.
Mr. Hill is doing good work in Kidding
Savannah of bad characters and former in
mates of the South Carolina penitentiary.
If he does not succeed in capturing all the
escaped convicts from his state who are
in this neigh borhood, he will do the next
best thing, and that is, to scare those
away whom he does not catch.

TRAMPs COMING SOUTH.
The Cold Weather Driving the No.
maids in This Direction.

maids in This Direction.
Six strangers were accommodated with
lodgings at the barracks last night They
were early winter tourists, Of the class
that pays no tribute to railroads or hotels
The cold weather is driving them soutl
and they are passing through in large
mum bers now. Only those who can fla /
no other shelter apply at the station
house for lodging. If the weather is
pleasant they prefer to sleep under some
shed or in box car, but the cold nights
drive them in search of warmer quarters
The favorite headquarters of the tramps
in this vicinity is at Southover junction
They had a regular camp near there be-
fore the police station was esta blished
there to cooperate with the quarantine
inspectors. The presence of the police
there was unwelcOme to the tramps, and
they scattered elsewhere.
Now that the police detail has been
withdrawn from that point they will
probably take up their headquarters
there again.
The chief reason why Southover is
selected by the tramps as a temporary
stopping place, is because they can catch
the trains there for points north or south,
whichever way they desire to go.
1t is a great deal easier to get aboard
the train at the junction without being
observed than it is for them to do so
in the city. Another reason
is that the tramps prefer to beg on the
outskirts of the city where there are no
policemen to modest them and where they
lind only the women at home, the men
being at work in the city They seldom
come into the city to beg in any number
unless large crowds happen to gather here
at once when they are forced to come,
because there are too many to be sup
ported by the suburbs.
Savannah is not q favorite locality with
the tramps and most of them only spend
day or two here on their way to Jack
sonville and St. Augustine, where num-
bers of them make their headquarters
all winter

THE MAYOR BACK HOME.
He Does not Want to Discuss the
Saloon Ordinance.


Mayor McDonough returned yester-
day morning after an absence of two
weeks in the north, He is in good health
and spirits and said that he enjoyed his
trip thoroughly. He found the citys af-
fairs in good shape and everything NOV
ing smoothly. Alderman Mills. who
acted as mayor during his absence, he
said, conducted everything in n most
satisfactory manner.
The mayor was not disposed to com
ment upon the action taken by council
upon the saloon ordinance in his alb
sence. He said that the ordinance as
passed was one of which he
thoroughly approved and which he
believed would prove of great aid in reg
ulating the disorderly elements con-
nected with the saloon business.
Mayor McDonough said that he found
business very quiet in the north as well
as in this section, but there is a feeling
he said, that an improvement is at hand.

TAXES ON TIE MOVE.
Capt. MoGowan's Office Crowded from
Daylight to Dark.

Capt. MCGOWAN, the genial and efficient
tax collector, and the attaches of his
Office, are having their hands full now
from morning to night, taking in taxes
and issuing receipts.
Crowds fill the Office every day. and it
seems that every one is on the rush to
get in before the final day for making
payments That day has not yet been an
nouuced, but it will come early in Decem-
Der, and there is little time to lose. Over
50per cent of the taxes have been taken in,
but there is large amount yet 10 come
Sufficient. at least, to keep things
lively in the Office up to
the last minute. Many of the large cor
porations have sent in checks for the
amount of their taxes, which has helped
to swell the receipts. Capt MCGOWAN
hopes, this year, to avoid the heavy rush
that is usual during the last day or two
on which taxes are collected, but that can
only be done through the promptness of
the citizens who have them to pay. AS
taxes have to be paid little can be gained
by delay, and much trouble to the tax
collector may be avoided by promptness.

ORANGES BY THE MILLION.
The Kansas City Carries North 81 900
Boxes of the Yellow Fruit.

The Kansas City, which sailed yester-
day for New York carried north the
largest cargo of oranges that has every
left this port or any other in this section
on any one steamer. 1t is, without doubt,
the largest cargo ever handled by the
Ocean Steamship Company, on any one
trip, the largest on record previous to
this season being $1,000 boxes, which
were carried by the Chattahoochee last
year.
The cargo Of the Kansas City yester-
day, however, consisted of 81, 900 boxes
of the yellow fruit, and over 5000 boxes
were left on the wharves waiting
to be shipped by the same line These
are all that could be taken by the steamer
on this trip, however, along with her
other cargo. A few figures will serve TO
show the enormous size of this cargo. A
box of oranges averages eighty pounds in
weight. The cargo of oranges on tn e
Kansas city alone, then, weighed 1850
600 pounds, or $40 tons, a cargo that
would easily fill an ordinary sized sailing
vessel by itself. A box OF oranges aver
| ages usually between $50 and 200 in mum.
| Der, so thatin round numbers it may be
! said hat there were between $500, 00C
and 100000 oranges in the lot.
But this is not all. The City of Biz
mingham, which sails tomorrow, will
have a similar cargo, as there were over
| 5000 boxes left on the wharf and many
more were expected by incoming freights
| The Birmingham will probably carry 90.
600 boxes, or a cargo nearly as large as
that of the Kansas City The business OF

A CLOSE WATCH ON BRUNSWICK.
The Quarantine Against That Place to
Be Kept on Awhile Yet.


Be Kept on Awhile Yet.
Health Officer Drummer said yesterday
that the quarantine against Brunswick
will be continued awhile longer yet,
though he is in hopes that he will be able
to raise it soon. For this purpose the in
spectors will be continued on the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western railway, and
passengers on that road will be required
to present certificates 10 the effect that
they have not been in Brunswick within
the previous ten days.
Residents of Brunswick having certif-
Gates from the surgeon 81 the camp OF
detention, and who are able TO show that
they have not been in Brunswick within
the last several weeks, will be admitted
to the city.
Brunswick people who left that city
month or more ago and who can present
certificates to that effect will be admit
ted to the city. a few of this class have
come in already. Other passengers will
be required to furnish certificates show
ing that they have not been in Brunswick
at any recent date.
Several passengers were put off at
Southover yesterday by Inspector Melvin
because they had no certificates.
From all that has been said about quar-
antlne and the prominent place it has oc-
the last three months many people
doubtless suppose that it has been
maintained at q heavy cost to the city
and that large hole in the city
treasury may be charged to this source.
In this they are mistaken. The cost of
the quarantine has been mere bagatelle
compared with its immense value. DIR.
Drummer estimates that the total cost of
the quarantine against the yellow
fever section will not exceed 50, COO. even
If 1t reaches that amount, which is doubt
full
The largest number of extra inspectors
for sanitary purposes in the employ of the
city at any time was twelve, and as they
were secured at 81 per day this amounted
to only S24 day. However, there were
not so many as this in the employ of the
city during the whole time of the cpl
demic, and the extra expense on this ac-
count will probably not average
more than so day There
are now six men employed
in the railroad quarantine, two of whom
are regularly in the employ of the city, so
that the city is now at an extra expense
of only S. on this account. Allowing 50 a
day for Geographic charges and incidental
expenses, and the average cost of the
quarantine would amount to only S25 per
day.
Estimating the total length of the quar-
antine at 1875 DAYS, and the sum of 50, 1875
is arrived at as the total cost of the quar-
antine against yellow fever In all likeli-
hood it will fall under that figure. The
quarantine was worth several times that
amount for the confidence alone that it
gave to the people of the city, leaving out
of consideration the immense damage that
would have resulted had the fever made
its entry here. One case of yellow fever
would have cost Savannah more than the
whole three months of quarantine.

STILL FALLING OFF.
Matters Getting Worse and Worse at
the County Chain-gangs.


Matters are getting worse and worse
out on the gangs said Mai Blandford
yesterday, land in fact have never seen
time when the number of hands was so
small. We have scarcely eighty men at
all the camps who are able for duty, and
the men, women and boys, all told, who
do work will not number 100.
1t is rather unusual, to say the least,
and of course the work is not progressing
as rapidly as it ought. This is a drop to
about 50 per cent. of the number we had
three or four months ago and it is hard to
understand. l don't know whether the
criminals IN Chatham county are improv-
ing in their slippery qualities and get
around the officers easier, whether they
are getting more virtuous or whether the
courts are grinding slower than usual
but the fact exists, whatever may be the
case, that chain-gang hands are scarce "

An Apology.

Our whole force of 1913 regular clerks,
and twenty-five additional salespeople
engaged for the sale of the James H.
Walker stock, were unable to cope with
the vast crowds that filed and packed
every floor and aisle of our great store
yesterday Much against our will we
were compelled to close our gates twice
to enable the clerks to get their meals,
and successfully handle the crowds
already inside. We, therefore, tender a
sincere apology to those customers who
were compelled to wait, assuring them
that the enormous quantities of goods
purchased for this sale is sufficient TO sup
ply everybodys wants, and with a
packed store every day it will take more
than two weeks to sell.

THE SOUTH BOUND DOING WELL.
Net Earnings for the First Month
Under the F. c. & P. Were So, 900.

The officials of the Florida Central and
Peninsular railroad, who have recently
taken charge of the South Bound, express
themselves as highly satisfied with the
results Of its operation for the first month
during which they have had charge of it,
which has just been completed.
The net earnings of the road, standing
apart as it does now from other roads and
systems, were 5000. This was accom-
plished without the aid of the Florida
Central and Peninsular, which has not
yet been completed into Savannah.
When the Savannah extension has
been completed, the road will have an ad-
ditional advantage, as it will bring down
larger amount of through traffic for
Florida and points in the territory of the
new line. Business with the railroads is
picking up now, and the earnings from
now on, during the winter months, are
expected to show up well.
