CHAPLAIN sTRINGFELLOW HERE.
Wants to Carry n Party of Savan-
nahians to Virginia.

Capt. Frank Stringfellow, formerly chap
lain of the Fourth Virginia, and who made
many friends in Savannah during the stav
of the Seventh Army Corps, is here again
on a short visit. Capt. Stringfellow comes
primarily in the interest of the school CT
which he is now chaplain, Woodbury. For
est High School, in Orange county, Vir-
ginia; secondarily, to talk over OLD times
with old friends and acquaintances in Sa-
vannah.
Capt. Stringfellow is anxious to carry
with him from Savannah some additions
20 party that he expects to take this
summer through the mountains of Vir-
ginia. He also expects to purchase the
tents for the trip at the sale of the quar-
termaster's stores that will take place to-
morrow.
Capt. Stringfellow is as full as ever of
good stories and as fond of telling them
to an appreciative audience. Just now
most of his eloquence is exhausted de-
scribing the attractions of Woodberry
Forest, which, he says, and which is, one
of the best schools for boys in the coun-
try. 1t is situated about seven miles from
Orange Court House, in one of the most
beautiful and historic portions of Virginia.
Its ample grounds and peculiarly happy
situation are among its many attractions,
and a corps of good masters complete its
facilities for teaching the young idea how
to shoot and avoid doing anything more
objectionable

TELLS A GOOD STORY.
A One-Armed BeEgar Who Has
Worked the Town Nicely.

The attention of the superintendent of
police has been called to one-armed
beggar who has been annoying people on
the streets for the last week or ten days
Having only one arm, an intelligent ap-
pearance, fairly neatly dressed and put
ting up good story, he has little difficulty
in working the citizens.
His story is about being just out of
the hospital after a three weeks stay,
having been taken down with the fever
while on his way to Philadelphia from
Texas, where he lost his arm in a rail-
way accident. incidentally he claims to
have gotten a judgment against the rail
way company for $4,000 damages, which
has been appealed to the Supreme Court
of that state.
His strong graft is in the fact that he
never asks for money but for something
to eat, having had nothing to eat "since
yesterday forenoon" He bases his entire
plea on his hunger and the result is that
he gets three squares" a day at the
various restaurants, if not more, at the
expense of confiding citizens, who are UNI
willing to see a fellow man so hungry,
and an occasional quarter from business
men who haven't time to escort him to a
restaurant, but who believe from his plea,
that he is telling the truth. The one
armed gentleman will be invited to leave
the city to-day, and if he does not com
ply forthwith he will be given a chance
to partake of the hospitality of the
county.

DR.. Terrill who was summoned pro-
nounoed the case aggravated nervous pro-

the principal witness OF the defence.
While the jurors we're discussing the case
a juror advised them to place no reliance
in this witness, giving as reason that the
mans word was not to be depended upon
because he did not pay his debts. The de.

argument was accepted by the Jurors.
