II is suggested that the fund recently
realized from the First Regiments fair
could be used to advantage, either from a
public spirited or money making point of
view, by building with it an auditorium
on the vacant lot adjoining and belonging
to the First Regiments armory. \ light
but strong wooden structure would suit
the purpose and could be used as a drill
room for the regiment. and also as a place
in which large assemblages could be ac-
commodated The need of a large hall in
the city has been long felt, and the sugges-
ton that one be now built, as proposed,
seems to be in the right direction. The
site is central. and is convenient to sew
eral lines of street cars.
OF course the sum now in the hands of
the regiment would not pay for a suitable
building. which would cost probably in the
neighborhood of $4,000. But Il is not only
possible but probable that part Of the
needed balance could be raised by popular
subscription, and the remainder by an is
sue Of bonds.
There is no hall in Savannah large
enough to hold such meetings as,those of
Mr. Moody, the evangelist. or such enter
tainments as those of souza's Band, or the
big politica. meetings for which the city is
noted. Such building as the one propos-
ed would encourage the holding OF popular
fairs and bazaars. IL would also bring TO
the city state and national conventions,
which arc largely attended. The sugges-
ton is worthy the serious consideration of
those interested and It is to be hoped that
It viii be given careful thought

Bishop sessums Of Louisiana evidently
does not intend TO back down on account
Of the charges OF heresy preferred against
him before the recent diocesan council at
New orleans. He preached Sunday at
st.sPaul's in New Orleans. and after put
ting at rest the assertion that he had de-
MED the divinity OF Christ, he reiterated
the doctrines, which were recently inter
preted by the other Protestant sects TO
mean pantheism, the denial OF personal
God and the substitution OF nature or the
universe In His place. and universalism or
the ultimate pardoning OF all sinners af-
ter some sort OF purgatory or probation
after death. The tendency toward broader
interpretations OF Christian doctrines is
becoming more marked every year. The
ministers who made the protest against
Bishop sessums have gone as far az they
can In the matter. but as yet the authori-
ties Of his own church have not ordered
an investigation.

a son Of George Gordon, a boot and sho,
dealer on South Main street, was found
under the ice mile off Lakeside park
at $50 O'Clock this morning, where he
had drowned Tuesday evening while out
skating with a sail. The wind was quite
strong and the supposition is that he was
drawn into the opening before realizing
the danger.
His parents became alarmed at z
o'clock last evening when he did not re-
turn and searching parties were sent
out. At $50 this morning Jarvis jew
son discovered a sail lying partly on the
ice and in the water. In company with
Mr.. Lucia, they commenced dragging the
bottom of the lake and in less than five
minutes brought the body to the surface.
Justice Cores was summoned and a
jury impaneled and after viewing the
remains they adjourned until 2 o'clock
this afternoon, to his Office. The body
was conveyed to the undertaking estab-
lishment Of Il. T. Zacheril where it was
prepared for burial. When taken out of
the water the body was frozen and bad

SAYS HE is INNOCENT.
Milwaukee Police Make a Startling
Discovery in the Case Of
Rudolph Peschmann.

Milwaukee, Wis, Jan. 12.-Three
years ago last evening, January IL, 1894,
Mrs Annie Schrums, the aged mother
of Mrs. ]. hasten, was murdered for her
money in the old Cream City hotel at
Jackson and Wisconsin streets, and for
this crime, one of the most revolving in
the criminal annals of the city, Rudolph
j. Peschmann, at that time proprietor
of the hotel, is serving a life term at
the state penitentiary at WauDun. Xvi
dence has recently come into the hands
of the police that conyinces them that
Peschmann is innocent. They now hope
to secure Peschmann's pardon and to
arrest the real murderer and his accom-
rlice. Just when the arrests will be
made has not been determined, but it
is not probable that there will be any
delay that would give the guilty persons
an opportunity to escape.
The developments which will follow
these arrests and the probable release
from prison of Peschmann, will reopen
one of the strangest cases in the police
annals of the city Peschmann was con-
victed of the murder of the woman onhis
own confession to Chief Jansen. At
the time he went to prison there were
several persons besides the real MUIR
derer and his alleged accomplish who
knew that an Innocent man was being
threat and partly under the promise to
secure Peschmann's release from prison
soon after, these persons were induced
to remain silent. and thus Pesch1Lann
has remained behind the bars. His mind
was always weak. and the confinement
in prison, it is said. has almost COM
pletely shattered his health. so that even
should he be released, it is doubtful if
he will ever again be we'll man, though
only 30 years of age.
