RAklNG PONDER.
AN ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.
Q. J. Montgomery Tries to Break a
Lock Early Yesterday Morning.

G. J. Montgomery Tries to Break a
Lock Early Yesterday Morning.
G. j. Montgomery, a white man, was
turned over to the city court on the
charge of burglary yesterday morning by
the recorder. The case is one of the bold
est on record.
Montgomery was found in the place of
Z. X. Holmes at No 10 Bay street, hav-
ing Just broken in by hammering off the
lock. Officers BraZell and Arnold. who
We're on Bay street at O'Clock Yesterday
morning, heard the noise which Mont
gOmery made in breaking into the place,
and, going there, found him on the inside.
Inc weapon which Montgom-
cry used to effect an entrance
was long iron bolt. with which he sue
seeded in breaking to pieces a strong
brass lock. The holiness of the crime
was surprising, as the noise which Mont
gomery made in breaking the lock could
be heard for some distance. Another
surprising thing was that the attempt
should have been made upon MIR. Holmes
place, there being very little of value on
the inside to repay thief for his effort
In breaking in, Mr.. Holmes being a pro-
duce commission merchant and having
very little of anything in stock Just now
Montgomery is an old offender and well
known to the police. He is said to have
done time before now. He was in jail
over year ago on some charge, and was
sent by the jailer to sweep the sidewalk
OF the lailyard. He found the gate open
and walked away, and Immediately pro
ceeded TO put many miles between him
self and the Chatham county Jail He
found himself sometime afterward in the
upper part of the state, near Rome. where
he met three escaped convicts from the
Georgia penitentiary, Horton, BrazwelI
and Simmons. all white. Horton and
Brazweu had been sent up for
train robbery, and Simmons for
burglary, and all three were re
garded as desperate characters.
They were nearly starved when Mont
gomery met them, and they gave him
rifle and pistol to pawn for them and get
something to eat. Montgomery went TO
Rome and Immediately informed the
authorities of the whereabouts of the es-
capped convicts. A posse went out after
them and Horton was killed and Brazwell
captured. Simmons was not with his
companions at the time and escaped. He
was afterwards captured by Detective
Bossell in Savannah, but escaped from
the detectives while being taken back to
the penitentiary by jumping from a car
window. Montgomery may be sent to
JOIN Simmons at an early date.

DEATH OF MRS. wHAT1EY.
An Estimable Lady Mourned by Many
Friends.

The death of Mrs. Mary w. Whatley,
wife Of Col. j. L. Whatley, brings sorrow
to many hearts. She died at Arden
Park, N. c., at o'clock yesterday morn
ing. She had been i'll for three or four
months at her home in this city. and had
so far recovered that a couple of weeks
ago she went to Arden Park, accompa-
MED by her daughter, Mrs w. G. Wood
tin, with the hope of completely regaiuing
her health. The change did not prove
beneficial, though at first there were
signs of improvement. Col. Whatley was
summoned TO Arden Park several DAYS
ago, Mrs Whatley's condition having be-
come such as to leave little hope of her
recovery.
Mrs Whatley was a native of Bryan
county, where her father. DR. Raymond
Harris, was a well-knOwn physician She
was sister of DR.. r.. b. Harris and
niece of Judge William Law, and was re-
lated to number of old and promi-
nent families of the state. The greater
part OF her life was spent in Savannah,
where she had large circle of friends
and acquaintance. She was greatly re
spected and beloved for her many admira-
bic qualities as a wife, mother and friend.
Her frank and lovable disposition made
her great fayorite with all who know
her, and her consistent Christian Charac-
ter and charitable nature will keep alive
her memory long time in this COM
munity. She was member of the indie
pendent Presbyterian church and lived
her religion. She left three children,
Mrs, G. b. Pritchard, Mrs w. c. Wood
fin and MIR. John T. Rowland
Her remains will reach the city this
morning, and her funeral will take place
from her late residence, Sc Taylor street,
at O'Clock this afternoon.

THE HARBoR APPROPRIATIONS.
Savannah Gets a Larger Sum Than
Any Other Single Work.

The river and harbOr bill for this fiscal
year carries no appropriation for improv-
. ing the Savannah harbOr, but the sundry
civil bill contains an appropriation of
1915, 600 for continuing the improvements,
the largest amount received by any indi-
| vidual public work this year
/ This will make -. SAB. 80 appropriated
I up 70 date, leaving but Ss5G. go yet TO be
/ granted, and there is hardly any doubt
: Of that amount being put in the next sun
( dry civil bill, which will be a law before
I March 4, 1895. Thus, in less than seven
months from now, il is more than likely
that the s3.500,OOO for which Savannah
was asking only few years ago viii all
| be appropriated and in a short time af-
ter that twenty-six feet at mean high tide
viii be a certainty
Capt. Carter being ont of town yester-
day 10 was impossible TO ascertain Just
how this money will be spent, but rs he
has mis- scheme of Improvement all
planned out, and is carrying on the work
OF improvement under that scheme now, it
IS believed that the work now being done
viii be continued This work consists in
constructing jeltIes and spurs and in dredg-
ing, from the city water works away out
beyond Tybee knoll
The contractor for dredging. Mr. T.
SANFORD Ross, has five dredges now at
work. one each at the outer bar, Long
Island crossing Lower Flats, Wrecks
channel, aud in front Of the city. Mr.
Ross has another dredge engaged for this
work, which is now on the way south and
will arrive here shortly. The lefty con-
tractors are at work on the Fly Island
pile training wall, Cockspur Island train
ing wall and at a few other places in the
river.
The United States snagboat Satilla is
still at work removing suukCn wrecks
snags and cribs in the harbor, and is
doing very valuable work Some large
roots recently removed from the very
track of navigation show signs of re-
peated knocks from steamship propelers.
Steamboat men have often complained of
running into time and again, what they
called sunken logs or cribs, but immedi-
ate investigation has failed TO show in
many cases the presence of any logs Ii
is thought that these cypress roots were
sunk in the river as part of the plan of
blockading the channel during the war,
and now becoming loosened by the i'm
prOvements in the river have slowly
drifted hitheT and thither, being carried
up and down by the tide, only TO be hit
hard and often by the propeller blades of
passing steamers, with hardly any dam
age to the logs, but with disastrous effect
to the blades.
Work at Fort Pulaski is prosperiug
rapidly. There are now about seventy
five men employed there, and the mining
casemate in process Of construction at
that place will soon be completed The
fertilization bill for 1895 contains an item
Of 100000 for the construction of mortar
batteries. 1t is not known yet whether
any of this sum will be allotted for the
beginning of work al Ty bee.
