Leo Benas, a Greek fruit dealer. died
yesterday morning at ST. Joseph's in

Benas had conducted a business at Aber-
corn and Broughton streets for several
years, and had accumulated some prop

executor. After Benas' death the will
was opened and by instruction of the or
binary Eleopoulo proceeded to the store

company with a couple of friends to make
an inventory of the property.
William Kels, another Greek, has been
living with Benas for some time. and dur
ing the latter's illness has had charge
Of the business. He knew nothing of the
win appointing Eleopoulo executor. The
place was closed when Eleopoulo and his
friends arrived yesterday morning and
they undertook to pry open the door. Ke,s
was outside and saw them. He protested
vehemently, and his outcries attracted
others OF his countrymen. Kels had the
key to the place, but would not give il nm

The Savannah delegation to the meeting
of the Grand Lodge of odd Fellows re-
turned yesterday morning. They report
having had an enjoyable time at Athens.
The session was largely attended, and
business was dispatched promptly. Past
Grand Master A. N. Manuey, in speaking
of the meeting, said
''The Odd Fellows Of Georgia have new
er held a more harmonious session. There
was not even a contest over the officer,
all of them having been elected unanl-
mously. The representatives of Rome en-
deavored to get up a. boom for that city
for the next place of meeting, but when
the name of Savannah was presented, a
Brunswickian facetiously remarked that
Brunswick largest suburb was the unan-
imous choice OF South Georgia. the
Rome boys wilted and Savannah won in
a canter.
The reception at the opera house was
largely attended by the ladies of Athens.
The address OF Mayor McMahone was ell
oquent and appropriate. and the speech
OF welcome by Hon. 4. $. Nell was "A gem.

Warrants sworn out ON Account of
an Alleged Injury.

Warrants for assault and battery we're
issued yesterday morning by Justice Bev-
ans against Mrs. NJ. j. Ellis and her son,
NJ. ID. Ellis. The charges were made by
Mrs. NJ. J. Jordan, who lives In the
same neighborhood with the defendants,
Second street, west OF Montgomery
The prosecutor claimed that the defend.
ants had instlgated an attack by little
boy on a child Of hers. and her remon-
STRANGE caused them 10 assault her. She
went before Justice Cleary and swore out
warrants before going 20 Justice Bevans.
The latter heard of this and withdrew
the warrant against Mrs. Ellis but that
against her son will probably be executed,

DOING ODD JOBS FOR BOARD.
White Nan Strikes Savannah by
the CrOsstie Route.

- DE
the CrOsstie Route.
James F. Matthews, a white man, is at
the police barracks, where he is doing odd
jobs for his board until he can secure
assistance to return to his home north
Matthews came to the barracks Thurs
day night badly beaten up and told a story
of assault and highway robbery. His
home he said, is in Harrison, N. j., but
he came south, going to Tallahassee, Fla.
where he expected to get work He was
disappointed in Tallahassee, and his means
being exhausted, he started to return home
by the crosstie route, taking advantage
of occasional friendly freight trains. He
reached Savannah the day before, he said
and at night walked out the Louisville
road, intending 10 catch a Florida Central
and Peninsular north bound train. No
train having come along up to O'clock
he said he was about to return to the city
when he was set upon by three negroes
who knocked him down, beat and kicked
him most numerically. They then took
his hat coat. vest and shoes. a silver watch
and chain, a gold ring with red setting
and his pocketbook containing 9S cents in
money. The robber who took his shoes
left an old pair behind him, which Mat
thews wore back to the city.
Matthews had evidently been badly han
died, and. being an honest-looking fellow
the detectives accepted his story and rode
out on the Louisville road on their bicy-
cles, where they arrested four negroes.
returning to the barracks early yesterday
morning. Although the detectives were
satisfied they had the right men. Mat
thews could not identify any OF them
as being IN the party which attacked and
robbed him and they were all turned loose.
Matthews hopes to secure assistance from
home unless chartably inclined people
here come TO his aid.
