The Murderer Only Can Tell.

Mrs. Reynolds had been battered and
stabbed to death. This was known be-
cause the remains bore silent testimony
to the maniac's work. What befel tho
other victims before fire removed all evil
dence of the manner of their death Will
DC revealed If the murderer comes TO a
thoroughly realizing sense OF his condition
and tells the gruesome story. That VIII
mako clear the motive which Is now
rather vague. Those who know the pris-
oner very well say that they expect he
will break down and tell the story.
There Is n rumor in the villages that
jealousy was the motive. Mowry was
much attached TO SCvilla Reynolds, who
was beautiful girl, large for her age
and rather mature in her manner. she
weighed about 40 pounds, was well
developed and handsome in features. She
was prominent figure in social events in,
the villages OF Oakland and Harrisyille
and one gentleman well acquainted with
her said that che last time he saw her she
was an attendant at "A church sociable
held i'm Harrisville last Saturday evening.
She was one OF the prctticst girls in the
church ard her refined manners and
gcntlencss attached TO her all the village
folk. Her shapcly head was crowned
with curly locks and her full round face,
bcnming with color and good health, was
always fair To look upon. She was an apt
scholar and attended the advanced school
at Pascoag, having passed beyond the
educational limits of the village OF Har-
risville All that remained OF this once
attractive girl repOsed I'm a water pail at

Kings son on earth and the salvation

open TO business. In 1880 he opened
an undertaking establishment, which
he managed successfully till 1892,
when he sold out to Mr.. Chas. Moore,
the present undertaken. Not because
the business was Improbable, but be-
cause it was impossible for him to
give it his individual attention, hav-
Ing the arduous duties of his church
work to perform.
Rev, Williams has passed almost a
decade beyond the half century line,
but like many others born in that
darkest chapter of American history,
has retained well, the life and vigor
of his younger days. And by the
strict conformity to the laws of nature
which he has always maintained, he
bids fair to reach the three score years
and ten limit. May he long be spared
as living proof, and example of the
possibilities of negro manhood.

TWO YOUTHFUL Robbers.
''BInclS kit and Lem UImer Captur-
ed bN the Police.

Sam Simmons, better known as BLACK
Kit" and Lem Timer, two young negro
seamps of IA and 10 years, were arrested
yesterday afternoon by Detectives Barrett
and Scully and lodge in the barracks IN
der a charge of larceny from the house.
Sam and Lem are rascals, If there are
any in Savannah Their arrest has dis
closed the fact that they have been en-
gagged in a number of robberies. They con-
fessed to half dozen or more and it is
believed that there are many others in
which they figured. Their scheme has
been what is known to their craft as
scaling" This professional term is ex-
planned by the police as meaning the sizing
up of a house and the premises before en-
tering. They watch a house for while
to gain the most advantageous moment,
then go to the back door and ask for some
thing to eat, perhaps. While one Is at
tracing the servants attention the other
sneaks in and lifts whatever small arti-
cles of value he can find.
The plan of Sam and Lem was to make
a speciality of money, and they owned up
to having gotten into several houses from
which they had secured cash. One pocket
book was obtained from a house on Har-
ris street west with SIS in 1t yesterday, ac-
corning TO NnG boys story anu 40 III a

the boys had sneaked into the house while
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson were absent. The
cook was in the basement and saw their
shadows on the stoop as they went in.
Thinking it Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson, she
went upstairs and saw the thieves. She
gave chase and caught one of them, but
was unable to hold him. BY the descrip-
ton furnished, the chief and the detective
We're assured that they knew the boys.

TO SHUT OUT THE CYCLISTS.
No Entrance to the Park Walks
From CASTOR Street Hereafter.

The grade of the CASTOR street pave
ment at the Bull street entrance to the
park is being changed by Commissioner
Willlnk of the public works department
so as to place it several inches below the
curbing on the south side Of the street
The change is made at the suggestion Of
Nthe park and tree commission and Chair
q man Davis of the street and lane commit
tee of council with the view of preventing
the use of the main walk of the park by
bicyclists. The park commission proposed
to have the curbng and the street put on
the same level at the entrance to the park,
so that the bicyclsts would have easy ac-
cess to the CASTOR street walk and from
that to the Drayton and Whitaker streets
walks, previously the only entrance and
exit for the blcyclists at that point, hav-
ing been the narrow street crossing also
used by pedestrians Now even this is
denied them as the crossing will be low
cred so as 70 leave few inches of curb
above the pavement.
Some time ago the gratings, which was
formerly used by the bicyciists, at Castor
and Whitaker and CASTOR and Drayton
streets, were removed. Commissioner VIII

to I'm behalf of the bicyclsts yesterday
said the Drayton and Whitaker streets

sAvANNAH.s CLAIM TO DIR. FAIR.
Two Commissioners VIII Probably
Go to Richmond Monday

Mr.. Randolph Arson modera tor of the
Independent Presbyterian church, and
Rev W. A. Nisbet of the Second Pres
byterlan church. will probably leave Mon
day for Richmond to represent the In
dependent Presbyterian church in urging
the East Hanover presbytery to relieve
DR.. James Y. Fair from his present
charge in that city.
The probability of the presbytery not
putting any obstacles in DR.. Fairs way is
regarded here as very strong, but the
gentlemen prefer TO go up to represent the
Independent church and urge Its claims,
Mr.. Arson will go as moderator of the
church and its direct representative.
while Mr.. Nisbet will go as a representa-
Give of the Savannah presbytery TO assist
in inducing the presbytery at Richmond
to grant Dr. Fair his release. The gen.
tlemen viii not endeavor to show reasons
why DR.. Fair should leave
Richmond, but rather why he
should come to Savannah. They
consider that the work here is more w
gent and of greater importance than that
OF the Richmond church, and It is that
which they will try to impress upon the
presbytery.
DIR. Fair wrote a day or two ago that
1t was possible that his church would
withdraw its opposition to his leaving. If
this should be done the rest would be easy
sailing, and he would become the hide
pendent church's pastor In case a fur
Their communication from Richmond is re-
ceived before Monday stating that the
congregation has withdrawn its petition
to the presbytery to have DR.. Fair re-
main, Mr.. Arson and Nisbet will not go.
They prefer to take no chances and leave
nothing undone that might serve to bring
DR.. Fair here, as they believe him TO
be the pastor needed for the
church. They also recognize the
Independent Congregations unan-
imous desire to have him as pastor, and
wish TO see it realized.
A gentleman who returned yesterday
from Richmond said that while there he
talked with members of Grace church,
over which DR.. Fair presides, and it seems
to be the consensus of opinion that he
wnl come to Savannah, 1t is thought,
however that he win not get here on May
2, as he had expected but about the last
of the month. The East Hanover Pres
bytery will meet Monday, and DR.. Fairs
letter viii come before 1t for considera-
ton on Tuesday.
