MR.. TURNER TO SPEAK HERE.
The Theater Engaged for Him Mon
day, Oct. /.

Hon. Henry G. Turner has written to
friends in the city accepting the invita-
tion extended him to appear before a
Savannah audience and discuss the pub
lie issues of the day. The invitation was
extended to Mr.. Turner sometime ago
and he has just been able TO arrange a
date, which will be Monday, Oct l.
The theater has been engaged for Mr..
Turner on that night, and there is no
doubt whatever that his many friends
here will turn out en- masse to hear him.
The views of Savannah's leading bust
ness men, as well as those prominent in
public life, are in accord with those Of
MIR. Turner, and his following here is a
strong one.
The friends of Hon. L. F. Garrard also
are in correspondence with him now, and
are making an effort TO have him arrange a
date to appear here. Mr.. Garrard has
not been heard from as yet, but it is be-
lieved that he can arrange to make an ap-
pointment for Savannah. If he does, he,
as we'll as Senator Walsh, will probably
speak before Congressman Turner
Mr.. +. G.. duBignon, the chairman Of
the democratic executive committee of
the county, will be asked TO preside at
both meetings and introduce both Mr.
Turner and Mr.. Garrard. There seems to
be disposition here among those
prominent in political circles re-
CARELESS of personal preferences
in connection with the office
Of United States senator, to have each Of
the aspirants address the people Of Sa-
vannah on the public issues of the day.
The representatives from this county, SO
far as is known, while they may have
their preferences, are not committed to
any Of the candidates, and TO that exten {
Chatham county may be looked on as
missionary ground
As big democratic rally had been
planned for Savannah the Monday night
before the election, il is likely that the
theater will be well crowded and Mr..
Turner will be rendered an ovation This
will be the sort of rally that Chatham
will appreciate.

THOUGHT HE HAD sMALLs.
Detective Morgan Captures One of the
Screven County Desperadoes.

Detective Morgan Captures One of the
Screven County Desperadoes.
Detective Morgan thought he had Abe
Smalls this week but instead he had
Bully Cant, one Of the Screven county
desperadoes who terrorized that section
Of the state about two years ago.
Several days ago Detective Morgan was
advised that negro answering Smalls'
description was in the vicinity of Ma
nassas, about fifty miles up the Savannah
and Western railroad. He carried a
Winchester rife which he was careful
never to let out of his keeping and went
from one place to another, seldom staying
more than night in a place. The people
in the section where he made his haunts
were in terror of him. He was reported
to have killed man a short time ago at
Belknap, a short distance from Manassas.
Detective Morgan went up the road day
before yesterday to see if he could get
hold Of Smalls if he was there. He found
that SmalIs, as he was believed to be in
that vicinity, had been there a day or
two, and as usual, was heavily armed
He had been staying at a negro restau-
rant near the station
just as the train pulled out Of Manas-
sas the negro jumped aboard. Detective
Morgan, who was on the watch, had him
III SuUEb uEu0E. lie negro udQ very llJJl6
to say. The detective saw at once that
it was not Smalls he had but some other
criminal beyond doubt. Hewas pointed
out in few minutes as Bully Cant. The
negro denied he was Cant. He said that
his name was Bully Williams. the sim
ilarity in the given names and the APP
pearance of the negro indicated, however,
that he was Cant.
AS soon as he got his man on the train
the detective searched him, as he
thought, thoroughly, but nothing was
found On the way down the detective
found that In spite of the search the ne
gro was still armed. Thrusting his hand
into his shirt he pulled out a big Smith ~
Wesson revolver, which the negro had
concealed there. He was brought on to
Savannah and locked up. Sheriff BROKER
of Screven county was notified, and is ex-
pected this morning to take charge of the
Fugitive, If he is the man wanted, as
there is little doubt he is.

NO NEWS FROM M'NULrY.
His DISAPPEARANCE in New York Still
Unexplained.

Alexis McNulty, who disappeared in
New York last week, is still missing
His family adhere TO the belief that he
has been foully dealt with. A search OF
the hospitals and morgues has been made
without obtaining any clew to unravei
the mystery. A general alarm was sent
out by Superintendent ByrneS' order and
copies were mailed to the chief of police
of every city within fifty miles Of New
York MIR. McNulty's sons have visited
every place where they could imagine
that he might have gone, all without
avail. His wife has been made seriously
al by her anxiety, and the mysterious
disappearance has given Rutherford its
greatest sensation for years
The New York World says that in his
capacity as clerk of council Of Ruther-
ford MIR. McNulty collected various dues
to the borough. These moneys should
have been turned over TO the proper
authority, but the latter has not received
any money from McNulty since last
March.
The borough finance committee had
called on McNulty for an accounting. lie
had promised TO make a report, but de-
layed time and again. Two months ago
his salary was stopped, and an attach
ment was issued against his private bank
account. To the surprise Of the officials
McNulty's bank balance was found to be
only $50.
An agent of the Home Insurance Com
pany was in Rutherford Saturday and
said that McNulty owed that company
between $500 and $500
The amount that McNulty owes the
town has not been stated but there are a
good many people who connect the fact that
the borough officials had peremptorily or
dered him TO make an accounting Cd the
day that he vanished with the fact of his
vanishment itself.
But there is no sign that anybody in
Rutherford has any idea where he is and
his friends are 10th to believe that he has
run away.
When he went from his home in Ruth
erford last Wednesday it was in response
to several kilograms signed H. G.
White" urging him to come there for con
sultation on important business, naming
first the Metropolitan hotel and then
room Is in the Stewart building as meet
ing places. Nobody can find out anything
about Mr.. II. G. White, either, or of the
important business which Mr.. McNulty
was to be consulted about.
Before he left home he showed the tele-
grams to several people, remarking in
each case that he didn't know White and
couldn't imagine what the important
business could be.
The financial operations Of McNulty, as
stated in the World, doubtless account
for bis disappearance. 1t was because of
certain doubtful transactions here that
he was obliged to seek living elsewhere.
He was man of good address and con
siderable ability, and apparently of good
habits, but he managed to spend more
than he made and consequently got into
trouble. The finale of McNulty's sudden
disappearance from Rutherford, ~ j.,
was not a surprise to those who knew him
when he lived here

TOOK POISON AND DIED.
". F. Brantley Ends His Life Beoaus'
He Couldn't Raise 825.


The Philadelphia Ledger prints the
following account Of the suicide Of for
mer Savannahian:
Because Of financial difficulties w. F.
Brantley, aged 63 years. who lived al st.
Adams Hotel Walnut street, above Sec
ond, ended his life in his room at that
place by taking poison. While everything
points 70 the belief that the fatal draught
was swallowed some time during Friday
afternoon, the body OF the suicide was not
discovered until yesterday morning.
"Brantley was born and reared in Sa-
vannah. Ca, and was, 10 is said. at one
time quite wealthy. When the fortunes
of war turned against the south his money
was swallowed up in financial reverses.
and since that time hehas been compelled
TO work for living. some months ago
he rented The dining room OF the st. Al
bans hotel but for some reason or other
was unfortunate in money matters and
was compelled some few days ago 10 give
I'D his lease.
He weighed more than 300 pounds, and
was Of very jolly disposition. Ere
quently he made threats 10 people about
the hotel that he would commit suicide,
but his laughing face seemed to make
sport of such words. Thursday evening,
while talking with W. +. kirbyshire, a
clerk al the hotel. he repeated the often
made threat, but no notice was taken of
it. The following morning a chamber
maid, who went to his room to make the
bed, found he had not get arisen. Later,
when she went back TO the room, she
found he had locked the door.
While passing the room yesterday
morning Mr. Kerbyshire was attracted
by peculiar odor, which seemed to come
from beneath the door. He peered
through the key hole, but, as he could
not get good view of the room IN that
way, he descended the fire escape from
the first floor above, and. upon opening
the window, found Brantley on the bed
covered with a sheet. He had evidently
been dead some time, judging from the
condition of the body
Upon the washstand in the room were
two empty bottles which had contained
drugs, and upon the bureau, so placed
that 1t would attract attention, was the
following letter, dated Friday morning,
and addressed to f. l.. Lippincott, IT'S
Market street:
Dear Al: have tried hard to sue
coed, but fate has been against me.
Twenty-Five dollars would have saved me,
but L could not raise it. May God have
mercy upon my soul"
A postscript TO the letter contained
request that his body be cremated. The
only relative Brantley is supposed to have
IN this city is niece who resides in West
Philadelphia.
There were number of Brantleys in
Savannah before the war. One Of them
was druggist, another physician and
another was engaged in business on the
Bay. 1t is so long ago that few people
nave any distinct recollection of the

THREE MORE 1UNAr1os.
A Competent Jury Said the Three
Unfortunates Were Insane.

Unfortunates We're Insane.
Judge Ferrill held three lunaey trials
at the jail yesterday afternoon. William
Doe was charged by his brother Thomas
with being insane, and it was shown that
he had a sort of wild desire TO preach
and talk religion without any apparent
cause for so doing. Frequently he would
manifest his feelings on this subject in a
violent manner.
Therother two subjects, all of whom were
colored, were women-Amanda Burns,
who was at times violent and imagined
all sortssof queer things, and Josephine
Houston, who was rather an imbe-
cile. There were several witnesses
in each case, and DR.. T. B.
Chisholm, who had examined them,
testified that they were all undoubtedly
insane. The trio were adjudged lunatics
by the jury, and if arrangements can be
made they will be sent to the state asylum
for care and treatment. The jury
was looked upon as competent
to pass upon all cases of
sanity or insanity that might come before
it. 1t consisted of Messrs. J. Brodie
Jones, John T. Rowland, G. w. Walthour
A. D'Antignac, NJ F.. Molina, Jack
DAntignac, J. f. Lewis, T. B. Marshall
H. }. Thomasson,; Nv. H. Strickland, w. B.

AT THE THEATER.
''The Girl I Left Behind Me- to Be
Here the First Time Tomorrow.


Here the First Time Tomorrow.
The next attraction at the theater is
''The Girl Left Behind Me- tomorrow
matinee and night. The play is
new one to Savannah, never
having been seen here before It
is new thing in border drama.
The play takes place out west
on the border. 1t possesses a
scout Indians, and the most
thrilling of hair breadth escapes. conse-
quently is a border drama but the scout
Is well-disciplined military scout, whose
rifle, instead of being discharged every
Tour minutes. serves only as an adjunct
TO his picturesque costume 1t is not the
class of border drama that always makes
the gallery gods howl with savage delight,
and the rest Of the audience wish it were
hundred or so miles away, but PLAY
that has all the elements of real life on
the border in it. There are some I'M
pleasant parts in the play-that
is, unpleasant from the standpoint
from which they are played
Mr.. Nelson Wheatcroft, who created the
part of Lieut.. Morton Parlow, when the
piece was produced at the Empire theater
in New York, had uncommonly unpleas-
ant duty to perform. Parlow is not only
the blame for his cowardice upon an limo
cent rival. He leaves the stage execrated
and despised by every one. 1t surprised
nobody when, after playing Parlow for
few months, Mr.. Wheatcroft asked to be
relieved The man is despicable wretch
The better the part is played the more
contemplate he becomes to the audience.
AT the same time that Mr.. Wheatcroft
dlsliked to play the part, he admitted
that there was a certain artistic pleasure
In making 1t true to the life, no matter
how loathsome Parlow might become.
An actor can almost feel how the audience
regards him he does not need a shower
of rotten eggs or a dead cat to realize that
he is hated. A subtle magnetic influence
tells him the truth. But it wears upon a
man TO feel that he is despised, so the bet
ter the part is played the more painful it
becomes to the actor as well as the
audience. The Girl L Left Behind Me-
has so many strong types of men in it
that the mean villainy of this poor coward
Parlow is all the more conspicuous.
AL G. Fields NIinstrels will be here
Friday night. Somehow or another the
tone or merits of minstrel company is
Judged by its band and parade. Let this
De falr criterion or not, it is the rule
that has been applied in this city, at least
Past experience has taught the people
that II IS pretty good rule to go by. If
the band is poor, music being the basis of
minstrel performance, it is pretty sure
to follow that the musical portion of the
programme will not be up to the standard.
IL is claimed the band with the Al. G..
Field Minstrels and Pantomime Of Alad-
din, is one Of superior excellence. The
parade and band concert will take place
Friday at IL 80 a. m.
