COLD WEATHER CLOSE RY.
A Decided Fail in Temperature Pre-
dicted To-day.

Decidedly colder" is the weather bu-
reaus forecast for to-day. There was a
sudden drop in temperature all through
the Lower Mississippi valley yesterday and
last night. The temperature at Vicksburg
at s o'clock was As degrees-the frost line
under favorable circumstances.
All through the west and north
west colder weather is reported. In Min
nesota last night it was from degrees to
10 degrees below freezing.
The weather in Savannah yesterday was
unseasonably warm. The maximum tenn
perature was so degrees, and the mean was
10 degrees above the average, and at s
o'clock last night mercury was at 6S de
grees. The observer on duty at the wealth
er bureau at the time the last observation
was made said that there will be a decd
ed fall in temperature to-day.
The cold wave is the first of any eff ect
since the outbreak of yellow fever on the
Gulf coast. The fact that it has already
reached into the fever territory with pre-
dictons of heavy frost is welcome news
to the people of that section and source
of relief to the people of the entire south.

MUST SERVE HIS TERM.
bennett Was Given Ten Years For
an Attempted Criminal Assault.


The refusal of the supreme court to grant
new trial to w. E. Bennett, convicted of
assault with intent TO rape, makes 1t nee
essary for the defendant to spend ten years
in the penitentiary.
Bennett was convicted of attempting a
criminal assault upon his niece, Barbara
r. Jones, of Bulloch county, May 2S, 1895
He took her out to Thunderboit one even
ing, and there according to her testimony,
made the attempt to assault her. She re-
turned to the city with him and went to
the home of her sister. Later when she
returned to Bulloch county she told her
mother of the affair, and she came down
and swore out a warrant against Bennett.
Bennett was convicted, and sentenced by
Judge Falligant to spend ten years in the
penitentiary.
In refusing to allow a motion for new
trial. the court scored the defendant
roundly for his actions, especially as he
was the uncle by marriage of the girl,
and should have been her protector The
supreme courts action makes it necessary
for Bennett to serve his term. w. F. Sla-
ter, Esq, represented Bennett throughout
the trial

WAITING on MAYOR MELDRIM.
Charitable Association Not Yet in
shane For Work


Many people have been wandering what
has become of the Charitable Association
of Savannah which was formed under
such favorable auspices about a month
ago. but which has not yet fully got to
work.
The need of the association is strongly
felt, particularly the business men,
who were taking a deep interest
in the matter. 1t is now being
held up on account of the absence of
Mayor Meldrim. who is the chairman of
the governing board, which has the ac-
tive control of the affairs of the assocla-
tion in hand.
one Of the organizers said TO a Morning
News reporter yesterday that he is afraid
the delay may possibly amount TO an
abandonment of the scheme. All meetings
leading up 10 the one at which the gov
erning board was appointed were well
attended, and by that class of citizens
whose cooperation in the matter at once
assured its financial support and success
1t was thought by this business man that
the matter should be carried to conclu-
sion while the interest was enlivened.
1t was learned that nothing probably Is
to be done until Mayor Meldrim finds
time to attend the meeting of the gov
erning board This board has already been
selected and the next step is for it to meet
and choose the officers of the association
and proceed to business. The mayor can
not find time, of course, to attend to his
duties at Atlanta and those here at the
same time and the present Indication, in
so far as the charitable association as con-
cerned, is that nothing will be done until
the mayor becomes diSengaged and re-
turns TO the city. An attempt was made
to have the mayor remain in Savannah
over Sunday, and hold the meeting of the
board Monday, but this failed

GRAHAM MUST HANG.
Supreme Court Says He Must Pay
the Penalty For Wilson'S Murder.

supreme Court Says He Must Pay
the Penalty For Wilson'S Murder.
Bristow Graham will have to hang for
the murder of Ben Wilson. The crime
was committed Sept. % 1896, at house
in Yamacraw. where a lot of negroes were
gathered playing a game of craps, or skin.
Wilson and Graham quarreled over the
game, when the latter went off to get his
shotgun. Graham returned and fired the
full load of shot into Wilson'S head, from
the effect of which Wilson died in a few
minutes.
At the following term of court Graham
was indicted for murder. On his trial he
was defended by w. h. Morrison, Esq.
The jury convicted him without a recon-
incubation to mercy, and Judge Falligant
sentenced MIN to be hanged. Graham was
apparently unaffected by the sentence of
the court, and heard it in stolid silence.
Following his conviction ana sentence, an
effort was made to secure for him a new
trial and this the court refused to grant.
Now comes the news that the supreme
court has affirmed the decision of the
lower court, which settles Graham's fate.
Judge Falligant will doubtless pass the
death sentence on the opening of the De-
cember term of the superior court, and the
execution will take place the latter part
of December or early in January.

PARK AND TREE WORK POPULAR
Petition Against Repeal of Park and
Tree Commission Act.

Tree Tom mission Act.
A petition to the legislature asking that
the bill creating the park and tree conf
mission be not repealed was being circu-
lated for signatures yesterday. 1t will
doubtless receive the signatures of all
those who wish to see the city preserve
its title to the name of the Forest CITY,
There is a strong sentiment among the
people In favor of beautifying the parks
and squares and doing it in an intelligent
manner. With the way the parks and
squares have been cared for since the
commission became unable. through lack
of means to do it, it will be but a short time
when the improvements made by the COM
mission will have been lost sight of. The
street and lane department Alderman
Davis says, has spent $500 in the care
of the parks and squares since his de-
partment has had charge of the work. In
spite of THAI expenditure the squares are
in need of attention.
The park and tree commission is a pop
ular commission with the people, and
there will be much regret among those
who take an interest in the beautifyins
of the city, if it is abolished.

TRIED TILLMAN'S WEAPON.
Jim Young's Assault on Leon Brown
with PitchfOrk.

Senator Tillman is not the only man
who fights his battles with a pitch fork.
This was demonstrated yesterday when
a constable appeared in Justice Nathans'
court with Jim Young, a negro, % years
old charged with using a pitch fork on
Leon Brown.
The fight took place Sunday at a house
on Alice and Montgomery streets After
the pitch fork had been welded to some
extent and several holes perforated in
Browns skin, the aggressor fed and was
not located until yesterday 1t is said that
otter many hot words were passed the
men made for weapons and took no
thought as to distances. Brown only sue
ceeded in getting a large rock and the fact
that he ran from the pitch fork, does
not imply that he was giving way to any,
thing more than good Judgment.
The Justice turned Young over TO the su-
perior court. A bond Of $500 was required
and after an hours hustling. he succeed
ed in making 1t and was thereupon re-
leased
