If he gave DO trouble he would De well treated, but if he gave trouble he would be more harshly treated. To thi, Morganfisld made no reply.

ROBERT E. LEES BIRTHDAY Appropriately Observed With
 StiEipg Addresses
 
 BY GEN SAL FITzHUGH LEE In Att : a, a,Commander Sanford at : ntgomery and Other ,sT triots at Washington.
BY GEN ssAL FITzHUGH LEE

ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 1e.-Gen. Robert E. Lees birthday was observed here by the Virginia society and the Confederate veter- ans. The Virginia society had as it's guest Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, who made an address at tue Young Mems Christian association building this morning. His subject was ''Gen. Robert E. Lee.''
 The orator devoted the greater part Of his address to a sketch of the life of the Con- federacy's great general. In concluding General Lee said: ''Englishmen, whose past battles against each other have been recorded on the pages of history as evidence of their valor and heroism, are everywhere proud Of their country, whose morning drum beat follows tue sun, and keeping company with the hours circles the earth with the continuous and unbroken strain of the martial airs of England.
 ''Americans everywhere, too, feel just pride in the destiny Of the greatest republic the world has ever looked upon.
 ''The future now is in the hands of her citizens, whether their fathers wore the gray or the blue; and the greatest patriot ism and the loftiest conservatism will have 10 be exercised by all to prevent the ship of state from being wrecked in the breakers Of the future.
 .sThe area of our country is 80 great, the rapidly growing population is becoming more and more mixed, the interests or sec- tions are 50 div,rse, that great national questions, if decided to the satisfaction of one or two parts of common country, give dissatisfaction to the remaining parts. Improved machinery is doing away with human labor more and more each year, and the ranks of the army Of the dlsconteni ed are being crammed with recruits. The girdle which binds the states of the Amer ican union has already displayed weak spots since the war between them, as de- fective as the armor plate of a new national cruiser.
 May the descendants of the veterans of the blue and gray exercise snch wisdom, conservatism and patriotism that, like great rock from whose sides surging seas recoil, they will become great reserve around which the lovers ot repu olican ib- erty as taught by our fathers can rally, and against which all clements of destruc- ton will disappear. The same laws gov ern and the same flag flies over all today, and the Americanism and loyalty of the south must not be attacked when we meet to celebrate the memory of our war heroes and recount the deeds of our solders.'
 Tonight the Virginia society gave ban quet to their guest.

 COLUMBUS, Ga., Jan. 19.-Tom Jarrett, a young detective, was shot to death on Broad street in this city last Monday even- ing just liter dark, and his murderer, un- known at the time, escaped.
 No ciew seemed to be obtaipable until today, when it developed that ''Colonei'' Harris, a notorious negro wanted in Mont gomery, Ala, for murder, was in Colum- bus OH the night of. the killing in. company with John Holt, another desperado, also wanted in Montgomery.
 Harris was captured in Opelika Friday morning, and Holt was captured today. Harris was carried to Montgomery to an- swer the charge of murder, and Holt will be brought here tomorrow. Both negroes went from Columbus to Opellka, and the police believe they can support the evil dencu to prove that Holt killed Jarrett.

IT WAS EASY MONEY.
Creedon Finds Good Thing in Ber- nau--Puts Him to Sleep in tho
 Second Round.

GALVESTON, Tex, Jan. 19,--Creedon looked a winner from the start. He was cool and collected. Bernau was timid |, though he went In earnestly. The Austra- lisn's nerve and science easily overmatched the German 8 size and inexperience. Ber- nau was clevsrly downed in the first round and w s knocked out before the second was fairly started.
 FIGBT BY ROUNDS.
 First round-Creedon led vcously and landed iu the face twice, and the men cIinched, and Bernau led after the break aud landed on Creedon's ribs. Creedon returned and landed twice on the shoul- ders. Bernau got in two heavy chest blows at close range. Bernau led wildly sand missed, and Creedon drew nose. Bernau reached for the Aus traIian's chin and got 1t there again in the stomach and Bernau went to the floor winded, lut still in good trim. The German took advantage ot the count till nine was called and then got up and landed in the pit of Creedon's stomach, {, which made the A Australian pout, but he got in a blow on the chest. The round ended In Creedon's favor with both men fighting.
 second round-The men began sparring for an opening and Bernau landed on Cree don's kiineys, after which there was cliuch. Creedon began hitting tiercely right and left and there was q heavy ex- change. Creedou landed heavily iu the face and the German began to stagger. He got in a light blow on Creedon's chest, but was touched viciousiy on the point of the jaw and fell to the floor unable to rise. Neither man was seriously injured.
 Creedon jumped the ropes smiling and seemingly unscarred and some 5000 better off than when he came to Galveston.
