NO STORM PROSPECT.
The Bad weather and Heavy Rain
fall Due to other Causes.

savannahians and ship masters need
/ have 10 further fear Of the storm which
has apparently been lowering over this
section for the last several days.
The storm. which was supposed TO be
in the Central Gulf. and moving north
ward. has now been located in the Yucatan
channel. 800 TO 80 miles south Of where
il was supposed TO be. Consequently there
Is much less danger 10 be apprehended
along the South Atlantic coast than the
conditions appeared TO warrant.
The information signals. which have
been flying over the weather Office since
Ia O'Clock Friday night, were hauled down
ar 70 O'Clock last night, showing, that, in
the opinion of the chief OF the weather
bureau at Washington. there is 10 further
danger TO be apprehended.
owing to the distance Of the storm from
any OF the stations the bureau had con-
siderable difficulty in locating IT, The fol-
lowing dispatch received by the weather
observer here from the chief in Was hing
ton last night gives the situation in
nutshell. The heavy rains and brisk TO
high northeast winds on the South ATTAIN
tic coast are not due TO the tropical storm,
but TO the area of high pressure to the
northeast. To-nights report from the
Gulf and Florida stations show only fresh
to brisk easterly winds, but a report from
Havana places the center Of the dlstur-
bance In the north portion of the Yucatan
channel"
This would go TO show that the unspeak-
ably vile weather which Savannah has
experienced for the last thirty-six hours
was not due 10 the threatened storm, but
to other causes. Unfortunately there Is an
other day Of such weather in prospect,
though the observer does not think to-
days weather will be quite so unpleasant
as yesterdays. The prediction for to-day
is threatening weather and rain; warmer,
brisk northeast TO easterly winds.
The rainfall here yesterday was unus-
uauy heavy the amount being S.4S Inches
for the twenty-four hours ending at II
o'clock last night. Heavy rains fell
throughout the Savannah district and the
South Carolina and Georgia coast.

PUT IN THE RoGUEs GALLERY.
BOwIes' and BeasIey's Pictures in
the Hands of the Police,

tne hanuS OF the PO11ce.
Two additions were made to the rogues'
gallery at the police barracks yesterday
morning in the persons of John Bowles
colored, charged with burglary and the
taking of $50, and Daniel Beasley, ditto
charged with the same offense, but with
only having taken S25 from the house he
entered.
These negroes are well known to the
police and have been arrested before on
different charges, only of less magnitude
Both were arrested on information given
at the barracks of the acts with which
they were supposed to be guilty Their
trials came up before the recorder and
they were bound over to the city court
AS IS the custom at the barracks, the
photographs of the professional burglars
and those who are frequently arrested on
serious charges are kept for the purpose
of any future necessity which might oc-
cur when the same men are wanted on
other charges, or, as in the present cases
where the accused are bound to the high
er court with the possibility of being
sentenced to prison for a term, in the
event of an escape, the pictures would be
of incalculable value in aiding the officers
TO identify. the escapes. 1t was probably
with this in view that the pictures of
Bowles and Beasley were obtained for
the gallery by the authorities. After the
pictures were taken the prisoners were
committed to jail.

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors How Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
It appeared in the form OF red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out Of his
blood and it has never since returned" )"
