MISSING MAURICE SULLIVAN.
A Superstition That He Was Drowned
and Buried I'm the Strangers Lot.


and Buried in the Strangers Lot.
The body of an unknown white man,
which was found in the river some time
ago and was buried in the strangers lot
in Laurel Grove, is now believed to have
been that of Maurice Sullivan, formerly
a city employee and we'll known in the
eastern part of the city.
Sullivan had been missing about a
month. The last seen OF him was on Sun
day night, Oct. rs. 1t was supposed he
was in one of the hospitals sick. He had
been in st. Joseph's Inlrmary several
months before. But a week or tow ago 1t
was learned that he was not at the infirm-
airy and had not been there in some time
Inquiry was made at the other hospitals,
but nothing could be learned as to his
whereabouts
A day or two ago the missing mans
friends came to the conclusion that he
had been drowned. Inquiry at the coro-
ner's office pointed to the supposition that
the body found In the river was Sulli-
vans Sullivan was a table keeper at
the October election, and the drowned man
had one or more unbroken packages Of
Liberal Club tickets in his pockets. Sulli-
van had been identified with the Liberal
faction and the finding of the tickets, and
other circumstances strengthened the be-
lief as to the Identity of the body.
Coroner Goette was applied to yester-
day. and the body will be exhumed to-
day, and II 1t bears the marks by which
1t can be identified it will be given a
burial by the dead mans friends. Sui
Ivan was about so years old and was I'M
married. He had been a resident of Sa-
vannah for years and was well known.

RAISING ALL THE SUPPLIES.
The County Farm Saving Consider
able Money for the County.

The County Farm Saving Consider
able Money for the County.
The county farm has been made to do
wonders in the last year in the way of
furnishing supplies for the convict forces.
1t is under the supervision of Commits
sioner william Kehoe, who is chairman
of the committee on county farm, and
who looks closely after the results ac-
complished there.
1t Is said confidently that If the same
progress is kept up during the next year
that has been going on recently, the farm
will soon furnish all of the supplies need
ed by the convicts with the exception of
fresh meat and tobacco. 1t comes pretty
near doing that now. There were raised
there this year 300 bushels of
county's mill, located on the
farm, and which is turning out as
we'll or better than the rice which is fur
nished the county under contract to feed
the convicts. 1t is believed this will be
sufficient to feed them during the year,
so far as rice is concerned.
Last year the farm produced 1.05O bush-
els of corn, and this year $50 were raised
The corn crop, as well as the
rice crop, would have been much
larger had it not been for the
long and severe drought. The coun-
" mas grist mill, ana all the grist used
by the convicts is made right there. An
other article is syrup, and the farm has
produced enough cane this year to make
all the syrup the convicts will use for the
next twelve months. The farm is also rails
ing plenty of vegetables to supply the con-
vict forces, and an innovation is the rails
ing of hogs. The county has on hand about
forty Of these animals, and they are being
fed on the refuse at the different camps
liz appears from this that the couptv Mill
not in the future have many purchases to
make in the way OF food for the convicts
or for the live stock either for that mat
ter, as that is raised along with the other
truck. The county farm is being put to a
good use, and as all the work on 1t is being
done by convicts, 1t viii undoubtedly re-
suit in great saving to the people of The
county

A MYSTERY NEAR RINCON.
The Coroner Gone There on IN Ur-
gent summons.


Coroner Goette left at II o'clock last
night for the thirteen-mile post on the
Augusta road to investigate a suspicious
death there. His departure was in re-
Spouse to a telegram from Sheriff Zlt-
trouer of Emngham county, sent from
Rincon.
The telegram read: Come TO the thlr-
teen-mlle post on Augusta road at once.
Answer quick. We will hold things down
until you get there"
Some time before that Sheriff Roman re-
ceived a telegram from Rincon. sent by
DR.. NJ. c. Wilson, saying:
Man died under suspicious clrcum,
stances at thirteen-mile post on the Au-
gusta road. Investigate"
Sheriff Roman turned the telegram over
to Coroner Goette. The latter concluded
to go up to Rlncon this morning to In
vestigate, but when he received the sec
ond telegram, addressed to him. he de-
cided to go at once.
No news could be had from Rlncon last
night, nor from that section, as to the
circumstances of the death which led to
the summoning of the coroner. Coroner
Goette did not expect to reach the thir-
teen-mile post before o'clock this morn
ing.
The kilograms would give the impress
sion that 1t was a very serious affair, and
the presence Of Sheriff zittrouer of Efing-
ham would appear to bear this out. Evil
IDENTIFY the man whose death is to be In
vestigated was not shot or cut or the
kilograms would not have said that he
died under suspicious circumstances.

one wife in Savannah and another some
years after In Admission, Ala The wives got
together here about six weeks ago and
made it so hot for their husband that he
had to leave with a warrant for adultery

did not know whether Sutherland was in
the city, but, IL his reported statements OF
not fearing arrest were really made, he
was mistaken. The magistrate says any
arrangement the husband and wives may
make now will not be OF effect, as the war
rant Is still In his office for service.

Dep"ai'"rs Seek to Have the Order of
Sale Modified.
In the district court Monday Atty.
L. ID. Brady, on behalf Of j. A, Bush, A,
Nathan, e. II. Ahrens, and James Cree
ley, depositors in the suspended Mer.
chants National bank, petitioned for a
modification of orders previously made
10 the matter OF the petition of l.. G.
Phelps, receiver, for authority to dispose
of the remaining assete Of that institu-
ton.
1t will be remembered that, Oct. s,
Judge Benton authorized the receiver to
dispose of the remaining assets aud the
receiver announced that he would cell
them Thursday, Nov. 5. A few days
ago the court issued a supplementary
order authorizing the receiver to sell the
assets in lump or by separate items at
his own discretion.
Monday the petitioners asked that
the receiver be ordered to first offer each
item separately; that he should then
offer all the items of indebtedness of
each individual debtor, and that, if he
failed to make the sale satisfactorily hy
either method, ho should sell all in q
lump.
The petitioners presented afidavits of
a number of bankers, showing that the
sale in either of the first two methods
proposed by them would result in much
greater proceeds than the sale of the
assets IN a lump.
The receiver stated that he desired, as
did the petitioners, to realize everything
possible on the assets, but he commended
that the method of sale proposed by
himself would be- most advantageous.

The Golden Age of the Road.

The middle of the seventeenth CEN
fury was, in fact, the golden age of the
road. Not only were all highwaymen
cavaliers, but many a cavalier turned
highwayman. Broken at their kings
defeat, a hundred captains took pistol
and wizard and revenged themselves as
freebooters upon the kings enemies.
And though Hind was outlaw first and
royalist afterward he was the most bril-
liant collector of them all. True, he
owed something to his master, Allen,
but he added from the storehouse Of his
own genius a host of new precepts, and
he was tho first to establish an enduring
tradition. Before all things he insisted
upon courtesy. A guinea stolen by an
awkward rufian was a sorry theft.
Levied by q gentleman of the highway,
it was the tribute paid to courage by
generosity.
Nothing would atone for an insult
offered to u lady, and when it was
Kinds duty to seize part of q gentle
woman's dowry Oh the Petersficld road
he not only pleaded his necessity in elo-
quent excuse, but he made many prom
iscs on behalf of knight crrantry and
damsels in distress. Never would he ex-
tort a trinkct to which association had
given a sentimental worth. During a
long career he left o II save a Round
head pcnnilcss upon the road, nor was
1t his custom to strip the master with
out giving the man a trifle for his pains.
his courage, moreover, was equal to his
understanding. Since he was afraid of
nothing it was not his habit to buster
when he as not determined to have
his way. Once his pistol lcvclcd, once
the solemn order given, the victim must
either fight or surrender, and Hind was
not the man to decline Il combat with
any weapons or in any circumstances

HE URGES SUPPORT OF BRYAN
Chairman Butler Of the POpulist Ma.
tiOnal Committee Issues
an Address.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-The populist
national committee, through its chair
man, Senator Butler, has issued an off
cial address to members Of the peoples
party urging them Loyalty to support
Bryan and follow his banner wherever
it leads. The address is highly eulo-
CYSTIC OF Bryan as the peoples cham
pion and warmly commends Watson. 1t
urges the peoples party not to be dis.
Outraged by the fact that there are two
candidates for vice president in the field
marching under the Bryan banner, 1T
says that there will be two months
between TIE election and the
caating of the votes by the electors
and that there is surely wisdom
enough in the two parties which support
Bryan to adjust complications satisfac-
torily to all. 1t says that the peoples
party brethren need have no fear that
this campaign will destroy the peoples
party; that its principles are right, and
therefore immortal. 1t says that it the
democracy lives up to its pledges, the al.
lance may be continued; but il it does
not, three fourths OF their people will
march off under the peoples standard,
which has still a tremendous mission to
perform. A fervent appeal not to miss
this opportunity to succor tho oppressed
concludes the address.
