CHANGING VS.. NO DIVORCE.
A Negro Whose Wife Is n Convict
Wants to Try Another.

"Can a man marry again when his wife
goes on the chain-gang?" asked a negro
yesterday, as he walked into the office of
the solicitor general
The question was an unusual one, to say
the least, and somewhat startled +. P.

office alone at the time. The darby was
asked If he had been divorced from his
wife.

me to find out" was the reply.
How long has she been on the gang
and what was she sent for?' was asked
him.
She's off now. but he wants to marry
another woman, Hattie Lawrence" the
negro replied.
1t developed that Lula Miller, the mans
wife, served a sentence of six months
for larceny, which was completed about
six months ago.

ried again without he gets divorce from
his Wife" was the information he re-
ceived.
How much does that cost?" was his
next question.
He was told that it would cost about
$50 or $40, but he had better consult a
lawyer first. He said he would tell his
brother, but he didn't think he had money
enough to pay out that much even for

BLACK SWAMP TREsTLE BURNED,
Five Hundred Feet Of Bridge work
swept Away by Fire.

The Florida Central and Peninsular
railroad is unfortunate with its trestles.
About 800 feet of the trestle through
Black swamp. just south Of the Savan-
nah river. was burned yesterday, putting
an entire stop to traffic on the road I'M
Ill the damage has been repaired This
viii probably be accomplished to-day.
Iralnmaster Williams and a Wrecking
crew are on the scene, and are hard at
work repairing the damage and IL Is ex-
pected TO have the road opened for trar-
nc by noon to-day.
The burning trestle was discovered
about O'Clock by the sOuth-bOund train
from Columbia The train pulled back to
ter was telegraphed to Savannah. The
trestle is supposed to have been set on
nre from the burning woods, as fires
have been noticed in the swamp during the
last several days
Fortunately the fire occurred in the day
time, so that no trains ran into the burn
ing trestle, was the case with the
trestle burned on the same road a few
miles south of Savannah a few months
ago. Owing to the condition of the trestle
and the burning woods 1t was found i'm
possible TO transfer passengers across
the burned area
The northbound passenger train, which
was to have left the city in the afternoon,
remained in the yard. Arrangements
were made to bring the sOuthbound train
into the city this morning by way of Au-
gustay taking the South Carolina rail-
road at Denmark and the Central rail-
road from Augusta TO Savannah.

AFTER THE OPIUM JOINTS.
Justice Goldman Says Robert Chin
Ching is a Deceiver.

Some ladies have interested themselves
in the Cinnamon who were arrested sew
eral days ago on warrants issued by JUS
tice Collman on the charge of keeping
opium joints Robert Chin Ching, one
OF the men arrested, is a Sunday school
scholar, and has assured his teacher OF
his innocence.
Chin Ching refused to give bond when
arrested, claiming that he knew nothing
at all about the offense with which he
was charged, and spent several hours in
jail before he was finally bonded out.
Chin Ching told the ladies' that he Meth
er used opium, whisky nor tobacco, nor
did he allow his employees to use opium
IN his place. The ladies want TO know
why the charge has not been investigated
justice Collman was seen about the
matter yesterday and stated that he was
only waiting on the Chinamen's lawyer
10 hold the investigation. He has been
ready to hold IL at any time since the ar
rest, he said, and will insist on holding il
next week at any rate Justice Goldman
says that Chin Ching has deceived his
teacher. An opium pipe and opium We're
captured in his place, and he acknowl-
edged to the justice that his brother,
sam Lee. was a confirmed opium smoker.
II Will be clearly proven that the i'm
PIGMENTS were captured in Chin Ching's
place, said Justice Goldman. THE small
amount 20 be made out of the bond fees
pya arrestlng these Cinnamon is nothing
to me. They can get their lawyers to
draw the bonds and do not need to pay me
cent Tor II. There are a number of these
opium dens in my district, and / am de-
termined to break them up. The smell of
cooking opium can be plainly distinguis he'd
in the neighborhood of Sing Hops place
on Broughton street, and has been COM
planned of by his neighbors. When Sing
Hop was brought in here, he was in such
nervous condition that he picked some
opium out of a pipe and ate it, and had
to be allowed to smoke a pipe before
he could pull himself together"
Justice Goldman referred to the act
passed by the last legislature against
opium joints The act says that ANY
person who shall keep or set up, main
tain or open any house, room or place
of any description for the smoking of
opium or any preparation thereof, shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on con-
Victton thereof shall be punished as pre-
scribed in section 1910 of the code" This
section prescribes the penalty for mis-
demeanor offenSes, which is a fine not ex-
ceeding $1,000, or Imprisonment not ex-
ceeding twelve months, or both in the
discretion Of the court. Justice Collman
further stated that at the request of their
attorney the pipes and other implements
captured from the Cinnamon were re-
| turned to them, as the law does not pro-
vide for their confiscation.
The arrests under the law prohibiting
opium joints are the first made in Sa-
vannah. Solicitor General Fraser has
| taken quite an interest in the matter,
and has expressed his intention of being
present at the examination.

O'RELL DIDN'T LECTURE.
Failed to Reach Savannah on Ac-
count of a Burning Trestle.


count of n Burning TrestIe.
over 600 people who held tickets for Max
O'Relrs lecture last night were disappoint-
ed in not hearing the famous humorist.
O'Rell lectured at Sumter, S. c., night
before last and was to have arrived here
yesterday afternoon via Columbia. His
train was stopped by the burning of the
Florida Central and Peninsular trestle
over Black swamp and he was unable to
reach here. The train was sent back to
Denmark and around via Augusta. Every
enort was made to reach O'Rell by wire,
but Geographic communication was cut
off and up TO midnight nothing had been
heard from him.
Secretary Johnson and the members of
the Young Mems Christian Association
Star course committee were at the Guards
armory entrance and notified the patrons
OF the lecture the cause of its postpone
ment. There was much disappointment
and regret, as the entertainment had
been anticipated with much pleasure.
O.Rell viii lecture in Augusta tonight
under the auspices of the Lyceum there
If he can be secured for tomorrow the
Young Mems Christian Association COM
mlttee Will arrange for the lecture to be
given tomorrow night. A telegram is

PARADISE Alleys LUcl..
The show Had "A Good Audience, But
Didn't Deserve IT

Last night was a night of disappoint-
ments for quite a number of people. The
Guards hall had a large and eager audi
ence waiting to hear the famous French
humorist, Max O'Rel.
When it was announced that he would
not appear on account of a railroad ac-
cident. many of those present went fur
ther down town to take in the Moody re-
vival meeting, and listen to the famous
evangelist There they met another dis.
appointment, as the Independent Presby-
terrain church was filled to Overlooking.
and they could not get inside the door.
Ihen they wandered over to Paradise Al
ley, the name of which made IL annear
to be glowing attraction.
There, too, they expressed disappoint-
msnt' Tor the performance was hardly
what II ought 20 have been at the stand
ard prices of admission
The comedians We're fair only, and some
OF the specialties were very good, but the
show, as whole, was not as good a.
the audience expected to see. Paradise
Alley is one of the rollicking farce come
dies which usually take pretty well in Sa-
Vannah, and while there were many laugh
able features, it furnishes scope for more
good specialties than We're presented lasf
night. The company should be somewhat
improved somewhat bfore IL comes tbIs
improved before it comes this
way again, if it expects to get as good an
audience as it had last night.
Undoubtedly one of the hest
attractions of its kind that
has visited Savannah will be at Ma.
sonic temple tonight and tomorrow af.
ternoon..
Young and old. ladies and children. are
interested in physical culture and
strength, and as the strongest man or
earth will make his first appearance here
they will be interested to see him. SamD.
son will be assisted by several we'll known
local singers and also by some of his
own company. The muscular develop.
ment of Mr. Sampson is something re.
markable. That children may have q
| chance to see him. the management has
! decided to give a special matinee for la.
! dies and children tomorrow afternoon.

James Buckley and Ben Joyce. who were
recently discharged from the fire depart
ment by the fire commission, were placed
on the information docket yesterday by
Fire Chief Mcguire.
Buckley and Joyce are charged with
abusing the chief at the fire headquarters
on South Broad street. The two men
went to headquarters Wednesday after
noon after some tools belonging to Buck
lev. which had been left there by him.
While there they began cursing and
abusing Chief Mcguire, who was in his
Office in the building The latter took no
notice of their remarks, but went to the
telephone and called for a policeman to
remove the men. Buckley and Joyce left
before the arrival of the policemen. After
leaving the engine house they continued
to curse and abuse the chief. and are
said to have made threats against him.

chief went to Justice Goldman and took
out peace warrants against Buckley and
Joyce They were arrested and gave the
required bond. The docket cases will

TO WRITE A BOOK.
Ex-COnvict Smiths Story of Life in

Ex-COnvict Smiths Story of Life in
the Dade Mines.
E. F. Smith, who was recently pardoned
by the governor, and who gave testimony
before the legislative committee investi-
eating the condition of affairs in the state
penitentiary camps, arrived in the city
yesterday.
Smith, it will be remembered, was sent
up from Chatham county after conviction
for a larceny of money from the Brush
Electric Light Company He tells some
interesting stories about happenings at
the Dade coal mines, where he was To-
Gated, and where he has spent the last
eighteen months. He was for a long time
a truSty, he says, until the matter which
he intended to publish in book form was
found in his possession and taken from
him, after which he was put down in the
mines. The authorities at the camp he
states, agreed to. give him his liberty
again if he would write a letter to the
governor, stating that what he had writ
ten in a previous letter was a malicious
falsehcod. This he refused to do.
Though the book has been destroyed
Smith says, he is sufficiently familiar
with all of the details to compile it, and
he expects to have it published within
sixty or ninety days. He will call il
From Honor to Disgrace, and the Geor-
gia Penitentiary Exposed" In it he ex-
poets to speak of the pernicious effects

ing their second and third terms, because
the influences around them during their
first terms made them worse criminals
than they were before. He ex-
poets to deliver lecture in
Savannah on criminal reform just
as soon as he can make arrangements
to get a hall During his term of service
Smith took quite an interest in the con-
victs around him and preached to them
on several occasions.

ANOTHER OF sHEFTALL's TRICKS
Claus Gerken Has Good Reason to
Want the Fugitive Caught.

Another man whom Clarence Sheftall
got into trouble turned up yesterday.
Some time ago Sheftall went to Claus Ger
ken and got him to go on the bonds of
five negro policy writers for his company
who had been arrested
Gerken says that Sheftall told him it
was a mere formality. and would never
amount to anything. When the time set
for hearing the cases arrived the policy
writer's did not show up. Gerken was
called on to produce them, and could not
do so. He was surprised when he was in
formed that it would cost him 500 in each
case unless the men whose bonds he signed
were found.
AS he was unable to find the men he
offered the constables $40 apiece to get
them. Constables Simon ONeill and Dan
Kiley arrested two of the men wanted
but the others are believed to have left
the city. Mr.. Gerken will be careful about
signing bonds in the future.
