he was in the house laying carpets,
but left there before o'clock and
while others we're still working there.
He was unable to satisfactorily ex-
plain several scratches and cuts upon
his hands, however, and this fact
alone seems to be about the only evil
dence upon which the police are de-

An autopsy held this afternoon up.

REV. DR. FAIR ACCEPTS.
Announces His Decision to Come TO
Savannah,

Rev DR.. James Y. Fair has accepted
the call extended him by the Independent
Presbyterian church, and will assume pas
toral charge the first Sunday In May.
The announcement of his acceptance of
the call viii be received with much salts
faction by the members of the congrega-
ton. While DIR. Fair gave no assurance
while here that he would accept, it was
pretty generally believed that he would
come
DR.. Fair returned to Richmond yester-
day morning and during the day he an
nounced his decision. A Richmond dis
patch to the Morning News says:
Richmond, Va. March S0.-Dr. Fair will
tender his resignation to the presbytery
which meets here April 26. and will re-
quest his congregation to unite with him
in requesting the presbytery TO relieve him
from his present pastorate. II is Dr.
Fairs purpose to make no announcement
to his congregation until after next Sun
day. that being communion day. lie with
leave Richmond as soon after April S Is
possible in order to fill his new pulpit
on the first Sa bbath in May, which is set
apart as children's day. To the Morning
News correspondent, Dr. Fair expressed
himself as having fallen in love with Sa-
vannah and with the people whose pastor
he is to become, There is great sorrow
among the members of his church in Rich
mond since his decision has become
known to them, and 1t is said by some
that his departure will mark the decline
of the church. which, when he came, was
in a most unhealthy condition, but which
has grown wonderfully under his efforts.
The Impression prevails that the congre-
cation win split and divide between the
churches now presided over by Rev. Drs.
Hoge and Kerr. The congregation is re-
signed however and has determined to
place no further impedment in the way
of his going. They made their final apph-
cation to him last week"
