MRS. METCALP'S STATEMENT
She Denies That q Third Party Figured In
the Case


Mrs. L. Metcalf, whose name has 6g-
ured in Fridays tragedy as the friend of
the victim of J. G. Luck's fearful assault.
called at The Herald offices last night
and wrote very brief statement which
she desired to have published. 1t not
only is brief but pointed ana positive.
How true 1t Is need not here be COM
mented upon.e 1t is sufficient to say that
accumulating evidence contradicts it.
Mrs. Metcalf's written declaration is
mere copied literally:
II, Mrs. j.. Metcalf, nursed Mrs. Luck
through her sickness prior to the tragedy.
! wish to say that Mrs. Luck has not
been out OF her room for five weeks,
hence the statement that she was seen
coming from a room in certain lodging
house is absolutely false. That she was
not at the Green hotel with gentleman
from Chicago. That there is no third
party concerned III this in any way. The
trouble is entirely between those two peo-
ple.

1t was to have been held last Sunday
night, but was again postponed, on ac-
was filled last night, and there was none
the less interest in the service, because
of the postponements.
The exercises were conducted by the
pastor Rev. DR.. Schaeffer and by Supt
W. 3. Spann. The singing was a feature
of the celebration. 1t was led by a chorus
or young ladies', members of the Sunday
school, In the choir. The singing was
spirited, and with remarkable effect The
exercises began with a professional hymn
followed by a scripture lesson and prayer
by the pastor.
The address Of welcome was very grace
fully made by little Johnny Harms II

Resolve by Annie SchOder, and song
by the infant class. After that came a
recitation, Little jim" by Lille Schro-
der and then a concert exercise by five
little ones members of the infant class
Inc pastors address was listened to
with much interest. 1t was to parents
ana teachers and was upon their duties
TO the children. Then Dr. Schaeffer spoke
with much earnestness.
Following the address, the closing hymn
and doXology were sung. and the berfe-
dictOn was pronounced
The exercises were interesting through

ROBBED OF THEIR PENNIES.
Two Penny-in-the-sIOt weighing
Machines Broken open.

Two Pcnny-in-the-sIOt weighing
Machines Broken open.
A rather strange and daring robbery
was committed a night or two ago.
There are on the streets Of Savannah
several penny-in-the-slot Weighing ma
chimes, all Of which are located in public
places. These machines We're placed here
by the Automatic Machine Company or
New York city. Two Of them We're rob
bed, those in front Of Mr.. Daniel Hogan's
store, at Broughton and Barnard streets.
and in front Of Mr.. John b. Fernandez 8
store, at Broughton and Bull streets. The
thief got the money out by breaking open
the iron doors on the back of the ma
chimes, and then cutting open the bags
into which the pennies dropped after the
machine had done its work.
The robbery was reported TO Mr. Henry
7. RightOn, who makes collections from
the machines for the company, yesterday,
and he was rather surprised that the
doors OF the machines should have been
broken In and the machines robbed in
such public places. Both the machines are
located on prominent street corners, ana
MI RightOu could not understand how
they should have been broken into and
robbed without anyone knowing anything
about It. He has secured no clew TO the
robbery, and has no idea just how much
money was taken from the machines.

CAPT. PURSES ARGUMENT.
His Reply 10 walter u. Hin Before
the Legislative Committee.

tAN htEtHiNtANe committee.
Capt. d. G. Purse Is being generally
congratulated here on his argument be-
fore the legislative committee which has
the Bush bill under consideration. while
the charges of bribery made by the sup
porters Of the bill were under investiga-
ton.
Mr.. Walter b. Hill. the well known pro-
hibtion leader, had made certain state
ments before the committee, charging
that a corruption fund had been raised
in Savannah. and that there was paid
lobby from Savannah at the capitol fight
ing the bill. Capt. Purse denounced these
statements as false in the plainest posi-
bic language. He denied absolutely and
unqualifiedly that he or any other gen
teman from Savannah who had appeared
in opposition TO the bill had received
anything for their services. or that any
fund had been raised in Savannah for
any corrupt purpose. He challenged Mr.
Hin to produce his evidence in support
Of his statement.
Capt. Purse made his argument entirely
as a representative of the commercial
interests of Savannah showing that he
had no connection directly or indirectly
with the liquor interests, and that he
was acting solely in the interests Of the
commerce of the city.
Capt. Purses vigorous reply was a sur
prise TO the committee After hearing it,
Mr.. Hill requested permission to revise
his statement TO the committee.

Opening Attraction.
The Hanlon Bros Fantasma will be
the opening attraction of the week at
the theater. The entertainment has not
been seen here in a long time, and the
indications are that the engagement will
be a successful one in point of attend
ance, at least, and if the Endorsements
of the piece are to be believed, it will
be an artistic success. mot in the beaten
track IS evidently the motto of the Han
lon brothers That this is their motto is
to be believed from the fact that all
their ideas are of an original nature.
Fantasma is an excellent example of this,
for, while nothing is claimed for the pre-
sentation from a literary standpoint, as
a work of ingenuity and the application
of stage mechanics, it certainly stands
alone 1t will be presented this time with
new scenery, new costumes new special
lists and number Of new mechanical ef-
fects for the invention of which the Ham
Ions are famous. The favorite comedian.
