ISAAC SMALL CAPTURED.
Murderer of Matilda Terrell Arrest
ed In Fernnndina.

Isaac Small. the negro who shot and kill
ed his mother-in-law Matilda Terrell, on
the Telfair road, Oct. 2, has been captur-
ed in Fernandina through the efforts Of
the police.
1t will be remembered that Small went
to his home, and became involved in a
dispute with his wife, who had left her
home and gone TO that Of her mother His
temper became incontrollable after a short
time, and drawing a pistol, he fired an in
effeetual shot at his wife Her mother,
Matilda Terrell offered some remark at
which Small took offense, and pointing the
pistol at her, he fired two Shots from the
effects of which she died shortly after
ward
After the shooting Joseph Terrell, the
husband of the injured woman went to
the Office of Justice Naughtin and obtain
ed warrant for Small, charging him with
assault and battery. The man returned to
his home, to find that his wife had died
during his absence. Notice of the killing
was at once sent to the city and the coro-
ner went out to hold an inquest over the
body. The jusy, which was composed
entirely of colored people, returned a YER
dict to the effect that the woman had come
70 her death from pistol shot fired by
Isaac Small
The police were notified of the killing
and Detectives Scully and Shea went out
to investigate. They found upon their ar
rival that Small had taken to the swamps
but no one seemed to be able to tell in
what direction he had gone. Chief Nc
Dermott worked up the case the best ne
could with the uncertain facts that had
been received. He was determined 70
catch Small, if possible, and with a view
to stopping the refugee, if he had gone
south, the chief wired all the principal
South Georgia and Florida points.
few days ago information was re-
ceived that Small had been spotted at
Fernandina, and Chief McDermott wired
the authorities to hold the man if caught
Last night a telegram was received, stat
ing that Small had been arrested, and
would, be held until an officer from Sa-
vannah arrived. It was decided TO send
Detective j. ]. Shea to Fernandina for the
purpose of bringing Small back to Chat
ham county, where he will have to face
the law.
In view of the fact that the crime was
committed outside the police jurisdiction
and that there was no reward offered for
the man, the interest which Chief Nc
Dermott has taken in the matter has been
the subject of commendation The chief
has expended, his own funds in working
up the case, but says he did it because
he thought the man ought to be brought
to justice. While many were thinking the
case was going unnodced, the chief was
doing his best detective work. The facts
are that an almost certain track has been
kept of Small since the commission of the
crime.

BAZAAR TO OPEN TONIGHT.

Committees VIII Complete the De-
tails of Preparation To-day.
The Odd Fellows bazaar will be inaugural
ted tonight at the Guards arsenal. The
bazaar hall will be thrown open at O'Clock.
There will be no formality attending the
opening. snTs
The hall is a pretty sight. Brilliantly
decorated, with richly covered booths and
colors everywhere, it presents a scene that
is more than was hoped for even.
The bazaar committee was busy last night
getting everything in readiness. To-day
the ladies in charge of the booths will add
the finishing touches before the opening.
The bazaar will open under favorable aus
pices and the management expects from
the liberal support and patronage it has
been promised, that it will be everything
in the way of success that is hoped for it.

ed and before that he would regard the
wishes Of the people Of Chatham county.
When the representatives presented the
bills last year he took the position that
they We're opposed by the mayor and al
dermeu Of Savannah. Now that mayor
and aldermen opposed to commissions
have been elected ne falls back on the ar
gumenI that We are not democrats. We
certainly, as democrats, gave him a very
hearty support. He could not have been
elected without our support He refers 10
the race OF Mai. Medrim against Hon.
Morgan Rawls for the Senate several
years ago, yet in that race Mr.. Geiger
was Maj. Meldrim's chief supporter In
Bryan county. II Mai. Meldrim is not
democrat neither is Mr.. Geiger."
Senator Geiger's position appears to me
to be altogether indefensible," said Mr..
McDonough. For instance, suppose Mr..
Geiger should introduce a bill in the SEN
ate Of a purely local character, affecting
Bryan county only. What would be said
if the three representatives from Chatham
should deliberately set TO work TO prevent
the passage of this measure? Our con-
duct would be declared to be outrageous
and a howl would go up from Bryan coun-
~ that would be heard all over the state.
I think however, there is a prospect for
the passage Of the bills, in spite of the Op-
position of Senator Geiger. The members
of the Senate are more familiar with the
situation now than they were at the last
session, and they Will not be controlled
so much by senatorial courtesy. Senator
Geiger's personal influence will be sufti-
cient to secure a few votes against the
bills. Some of the city officials have rel
atives in the Senate. who win also vote
against the bills. Their combined infu-
ence will doubtless, bring them a few
more votes, but 1 do not think they can
rally a majority We have a good fight
ing chance for the passage of the bills"
The fight in The Senate might be post
poned for week or two, Mr.. McDonough
said but Il would come up in plenty of
time. he thought, to allow of a square
fight on the issue.

NovEMBER's SHOWERS OF STARS.
Will BE Visible About the Middle or
the Month.

lnc HOnNns
The meteoric showers that will occur
during the present month will be of spe-
cial interest to all giving any attention
to the study of astronomy. They are of
annual occurrence, and referred to as the
astronomical phenomena of the Novem-
Der skies. The phenomena consist of
the meteoric showers radiating from the
constellation Leo" and which are com,
monty known as the 'Leonids."
Prof. F. A. Toudorf, S. j., of Loyola
College who is well verscd on astronomy,
and constantly gathering additional knowl-
edge, has the following to say of the com
ing display in the heavens: Though
we are not to expect this year the bril-
liant display attendant upon the return
of the thirfy-three and a third year period
showers, STILL all those interested in the
study of the heavens will find themselves
amply rewarded for any time expended
in observing this years display, which
is of annual recurrence The showers
will take place on Nov. Is and A. and as
the constellation Leo does not rise before
midnight 1t will be close upon 2 o'clock
in the morning before any good observa-
ton can be made. Owing to the fact
that the moon will be gibbous, being fun
on Nov g. twenty-one hours fifty minutes,
visual observation of the showers will
not be attended with the results one might
expect. But where the eye fails, there
the sensitive plate may be called upon to
cover the deficiency. Consequently, these
showers will be of the greatest Importance
to those interested in meteoric pho

THE WORK AT TYBEE.
Only Four Eight-Inch Guns to De
Put There at Present.

Only Four Efght-Inch Guns to De
Put There at Present.
The active preparations now in progress
for coast defense have led to the conclu-
sion in many quarters that the govern
ment is getting ready for an emergency,
in case one should arise. So far as can be
learned, however, nothing but the detailed
work as planned sometime ago, is in pro-
gress.
So far only the three of the four eight
inch guns to be placed in the Tybee fortii-
cations have been received. There will be
no ten inch guns there. The present work
contemplates only providing Notifications
for four eight-inch guns. The bill of lad
ing for the four guns has been received,
and ii is expected that the other gun will
be here within a few days.
1t is well-known that the contractors
who have the Tybee work in charge are
pushing it forward rapidly, but this is
doubtless due to the fact that they have
only so much time in which to complete
it, and they want to finish without any
delay, The works are now nearing compile
ton, and will soon be ready for the recep-
ton of the four guns. The disappearing
carriages for the guns will doubtless be
sent when the last gun Is shipped.
The plans for fortifying the mouth of
the river do contemplate another battery
of two twelve-inch guns, and also NOR
tar battery, but the appropriations for
these have not yet been made available,
and the war department has so far taken
no steps looking to carrying out this part
of the project. The four eight-inch guns
will afford great protection to the harbor,
and with the mining case mate at Fort
Pulaski it IS not likely that a successful
attack could be made on the city from
that direction.

What came near producing serious

There were several other women and two

was made from the house. and it was with
great difficulty that the officer managed
ITO get the prisoners to the call box, at
Farm and Harrison streets. Here the
crowd grew, and seemed determined to
take the prisoners from him. A suffle en-

Before the arrival of Policeman Crosby
the barracks had been notified and Police
man Collins and Arnold, with the city de.
tectives, accompanied the patrol wagon
to the scene. The prisoners were brought
to the station without further trouble.

VETERANS DO NOT FAVOR 1T.
Davis birthday Should Not Be Made
a Holiday, One Says.


The evident intention on the part OF the
Georgia legislature to make the birthday
of Jefferson Davis a legal holiday IN this
state does not meet altogether with favor
among the old veterans here. They regard
it as sort Of play to the galleries or rath-
er sop to the old soldiers than as evil
dence of any real desire on the part of the
of the confederacy.
For number of years after the war"
said Gen. McGlashan, vice president Of
the Confederate Veterans Association,
''the fame of Robert E. Lee so overshad-
owed that of jefferson Davis that the lat
ter was practically in eclipse. OF more
recent years Mr.. Davis is receiving more
attention from students of history. / do
not favor the idea of making
Mr.. Davis birthday legal
holiday. For several years after
the war 1 contended that, whatever might
happen, the north and south were two sep
arate and distinct nations, that an ocean
of blood and 100000 lives lost in the great
struggle, separated and would keep them
apart.
MY views underwent a change many
years ago." said Gen. McGlashan. I'VE

ze and to keep alive the bitterness of
the struggle should be avoided We can
properly do reverence to the memory of
Robert e. Lee for his great virtues as a
soldier and a Christian. The name of
Davis is typical of the storm tossed ma
ton which fell of the issues that divided
the two sections and resulted in the eff
fort to establish a separate nation Had
the south succeeded he would doubtless
have become one of our national heroes.
We failed, and Mr.. Davis must go down
to history as the head of a defeated
cause"
The old veterans are dying out and soon
there will be none of them left to observe
the holiday, should it be established. I'm
less there should be a general demand for
the establishment of such a holiday it
would be better not to do So

The Abercorn and Whitaker street belt

most of last night. An Abercorn street
car got off the track at state street at s

O'Clock. During that time the remain

The delay in getting the derailed car
