\ Mans Cruel Joke on His wife and
Friends.


Valdosta Ca. Dec 1O.-There were two
funerals in this city yesterday. and both
of them were of we1-known people Both
deaths occurred at the State Sanitarium
at Milledgeville. and the remains were
sent here for burial.
The first death was that of Mr.. Perry
Davis, who was one of the most promi-
nent farmers OF the county. Two of his
children died during the past month or so,
and were buried in the city cemetery.
The other death was that of Thomas
jenkins, son of Capt and Mrs. T. J. Jen-
llins, which also occurred yesterday. Mr..
Jenkins had resided in Savannah for the
past ten or twelve years. and was in the
employ of b. II. Levy & Bro. until his
health began TO fail some time last year.
A citizen of Lake Park who was servin g
on the jury here this week played a very
cruel joke on his wife, as well as his
friends, in his home town. Coming up the
street Thursday morning soon, he saw a
young man talking over a telephone. He
approached the young man and asked him
to call up Lake Park. The young man did
so, and the stranger asked him to tell
the operator at Lake Park that a man
was found dead on the streets here that
morning, and that papers on him indicat-
ed that he was Mr.. filling the
blank with his own name. The message
went to Lake Park, and a committee was
formed there TO break the news TO his
wife. This they did with almost tragic
effect, for the wife tainted and went into
swoon as soon as she was told of It.
Other messages were sent here to find out
the truth and In a little while the fake
was exposed. 1t is said that the joke was
the inspiration of too much tea" toe
early in the morning.

To the Ladies OF savannah.

In dreams of their kindred
And homes far away,
In camp at Savannah,
The Seventh Corps lay;
The call of the bugte
Arose on the air
Interrupting repose
And their visions so fair;
And now of the weather
They anxiously pray,
For all of them knew
1t Is Thanksgiving day.
Although cloudless skies
The morning deposes
They little can guess
What the evening Diseases;
Whatever camp duties
Devolved on the boys,
They did them quite willing
Without any noise.
And not a man WINGED
Or thought it a pity
To see a great storm
Pouring out of the city.
Tornadoes of turkeys
Were hurled into space.
And cakes, fruits and flowers
Kept up with the pace.
The ladies came out
And showed they were able
To settle the storm
just over Sdcn ldDie.
A far better feast
Was provided for all
Than ever was spread
AT Delmonico's hall;
And those who write history
This truth may convey.
Fifteen thousand soldiers
Were conquered that day.
The Forty-ninth Iowa
Shared i'm the fray;
Our brave Company
Were captured" they say;
Yet we here at home
Ever thankful will be
To the kind-hearted peop.e
Way down by the sea.
Those patriot ladies,
! So loyal and true.
VIII ne'er be forgotten
! BY soldiers in blue.
You boast of the power
! OF sword and of pen,
But kindness of women
| VIII conquer the men.

G. L. A. BoYs IN THE LEAD.
Indoor Ball League Games Well
Under way.

The third game Of the indoor bail series
viii be played next Thursday night. The
C. L. AS and Y. NJ. C. AS will be the
contesting teams. The clubs are now
playing in their last seasons form, ana
the admirers of this sport will see some
very exciting contests during the winter.
The interest in the game this year is not
vet as great as it was last, due no doubt
mainly 10 so many counter attractions,
which the directors of the league hope TO
overcome The three teams that COM
prise the league have each played one
game, and the c. l.. AS have thus far
shown up in the lead. The standing of the
oi,.ba ia u follows.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-12-11


The game last Thursday night between
the c. l.. A. and Y NJ. II. A teams was
a pretty exhibition up to the seventh in
ming. when It was anybody's game, until
the Library team discovered Morrison s
delivery. and then il was what happened
to the Y. NJ. II. A
The Y. M. c. A. team this season Is
composed mostly of all new players, While
the G. L. A. and Y. NJ. II. A. have nearly
all of their last seasons team, which is,
of course, a slight advantage over the Y.
M. C. A at the start, but when that
team gets in shape it hopes 10 overcome
the lead of the others and stay IN the
home stretch 20 retain the Marks trophy
The umpiring this season has so far Civ
en- satisfaction, and in Germany, Hopkins
and Hohenstein the league has strong
trio of umpires.
Horrigan, the c. L. AS twirler, pitched
his first game of this season against the
Y. NJ. H. A. boys last week, and showed
that he is the same reliable pitcher of last
season, as no doubt the Y. NJ. II. A. team
will vouch for With Sullivan and Horri-
gan for their battery, the c. i. A. boys
are confident of landing in first place. In
Kayton the Y. NJ. H. AS have fine
backstop, as well as one of the best all
around players in the city, and with Nor
rison gaining a little more experience, they
will be well equipped in the battery line.
King. who is doing the catching this
year for the Y. NJ. c. A, is an Al player,
who Is capable of holding up that point
on the team, while Blake, who is to pitch
for that team, has thus far shown himself
to be a success.

NO IMPROV EN- ENT.
SPANS Suggested Armistice Tends to
Make he Situation Worse The
Withdrawal Of Spain Only Will
Suffice.

Washington, April "a leading Re
mlttee on Foreign Affairs, expressed
the opinion late tonight that the ar
miatice offered by Spain, instead Of re-
lieVing the situation, would only exag-
gerate it. He said that he believed
this country would not rest short OF
the complete abjuration of the Span
ish authority over any part Of Cuban
territory.
Its objects are relief from action by
this country and delay with the insur-
gents until a more suspicious season.
Representative Lorimer, of Illinois,
organizer of the Republican move
ment to take immediate action, said:
THE decree Of armistiee will not
change the situation one iota. In is
only another pretext for delay because
SPAIN is not able to fight in Cuba in
the rainy season"
Representative Mann, of Illinois,
said: IF the decree proposes such
conditions to be observed by the
United States, the decree is a fraud on
it's face If the President delays the
message on that account there will be
a declaration Of recognition OF indie
pendence by Congress by the middle
of next week. II any European power
starts to aid Spain it will result in
war among the powers of Europe,
which will mean a division of China
and will be a conflict that will be one
OF the greatest in history

SPAIN YIELDS BUT, LITTLE.

ambassadors collectively called upon
Senior Gulion, requesting that Spain
grant the aTmistice so repeatedly beg
ged by the Pope.
The cabinet then met. Gen. Correa,
minister of war, and admiral Bermeje,
minister of marine, objected TO the
granting Of an armistice, on the ground
that it would be disparaging to Span
ish arms. The representative of Rus
STA, as 6, military power, replied that
he considered 1t would be no dispar-
agement Objection was again made
on the ground that there was no guar
antee that the insurgents would accept
an armistice. The representatives re-
piled that in case an armiStice would
mean only a suspension Of hostilities
and insisted upon Spain offering to
the insurgents last chance of submits
sion for the sake Of negotiating peace.
II the insurgents continued hCstilities
the Spaniards would be allowed legiti-
mate self-defense.
The ministry then unanimously
agreed that an armistice be granted.
The decision was attended by the
usual solemnty by the drafting of the
minutes, which the entire ministry
signed.
The news CT the granting of an ar
mistice was received on the bourse with
satisfaction and a rapid advance in
values quickly followed
