CAME NEAR ENDING HER LIFE.
Lille Ross Took Three Grains of
Morphine Soldier Gave Her.

Lille Ross Took Three Grains of
Morphine a Soldier Gave Her.
Lille Ross, an inmate OF house on
Oglethorpe avenue. in the effort to cure
a headache that afflicted her early yester-
day morning, took three tablets that
soldier offered and recommended, swal-
lowed them and nearly died as a result.
The tablets contained about three grains
of morphine and only unremitting and he
rOic treatment suffced TO save the Wo-
mans life.
The woman first exhibited signs of NOR
phine poisoning at about 2:30 O'Clock, and
DR.. Kenan was hastily summoned. When
he arrived she was unconscious and in a
critical condition. He administered the
antidotes and emetics that he had with
him, and as soon as an electric battery
could be secured applied a current of
electricity. After two hours hard work
the woman was revived and the i'll effects
of the drug gradually wore off.
When she was able to talk, she said to
the physician that a soldier who had been
In the house had offered her three tablets
to cure a headache, and that she had ac-
cepted them without knowing or greatly
caring what they were. She had no knowl-
edge of the fact that they contained NOR
phine. The man she claimed had given her
the tablets that came so near costing her
her life, left the house soon afterwards
and was not TO be seen when the physi-
clan arrived.
The reason for the strange present Is not
known and can scarcely be surmised II
scarcely seems possible that anyone could
| be ignorant of the effect of three grains
| of morphine when taken at once, and or
| the other hand it is more improbable that
| the soldier could have had this quantity
| of the poison in his possession without
| knowing what it was. The woman says
that she did not know the man, although
! she would recognize him If she saw him
! and 1t is inferred, therefore, that he had
no reason for desiring to kill her. The
matter remains something of mystery
| It is said that the woman has on other oc-
casions attempted her own life, and ii
true this may shed some light on the sub
| ject.

CREDITORS CRY FRAUD.
Witnesses In Hammond nearing
Charge False Representations

An adjourned meeting Of the creditors OF

Liberty county. was held at the office OF
Referee A. II. MacDonen yesterday. Mr..
Hammond was present, and was examined
by Messrs. II. e. Wilson and G. W. Beck
EFT, attorneys for some of the creditors.
Testimony was offered to show That
Hammond had obtained credit from the
merchants, who are now opposing his APP
plication for discharge in bankruptcy on

tors claim were false at the time they were
made and showed property and assets lar

ruptcy can defeat the obligation of debts
thus incurred.
1t is also contended in behalf of the cred

standing in the name Of Hammond Wlte
is In reality his own. and that Mrs ham
mond's name has been used for the pur-
pose OF defeating mis- creditors. 1t is claim

The examination consumed the entire
morning and practically all of the test-
rnony that remained to be given was In
troduced. The hearing will be continued
at the Office of the referee on April 1S.

HAD IT'S FIRST SHOOT.
savannah Rifle Association Met at
AvOndRle Range.

AvondRIe Range.
The first practice of the season was held
by the Savannah Rife Association at
Avondale range yesterday afternoon, and,
considering the weather, there was a good
attendance of the members. An innova-
ton was witnessed in the adoption of the
50O-yard range for the first time. During
past seasons the association has been
shooting al only the 200 and 300-yard
ranges, but it was decided to add the 500
yard for this season.
Some curiosity was felt to see if the IS
caliber Winchester rife would carry accu-
rately for the greater distance but it
was demonstrated that their range Is great
enough 20 admit of their being used for
500 Yards. After the proper adjustment of
sights had been made the members who
used the Winchesters made very good
scores. The other type of weapon used
is the regular Springfield rifle. About the
carry Of that for 500 yards there was no
question.
Several officers and men of the troops
encamped near the city were present at
the range and witnessed some of the
shooting. They seemed somewhat sur
prised TO see the old Springfields still in
use in these days of Heterogeneous, but
the scores that were made with the old
style OF rifle corrected any belief they may
have had OF their inaccuracy, and they
were persuaded that, with Savannah
marksmen behind the guns, it would be
bit dangerous TO stand at 500 yards as a
target for the 45-caliber rifles.

SHE NOW ASKS FOR A DIVORCE.
MRS. GLOssUP WANTS A PERMA-
NENT SEPARATION.

She Was Married to w. VI.
CLOSEUP in Savannah June II, 1897,
and Attempted to Commit Suicide
Fifteen Days Later-She Left Her
Husband Temporarily, But Return
ed TO Him Twice Afterward-He
Finally Deserted Her in Atlanta
,nnd Left Her PenniIess Among
Strangers.
Willie d. CLOSEUP has filed suit in the
Superior Court against William B. CLOSEUP
for divorce. The petition states that the
parties were married In Savannah, June
Il, 1897, and alleges various charges of
cruelty neglect and fl-treatment.
Mrs. CLOSEUP will be remembered as the
young woman who made a determined ef-
fort at suicide with morphine at Brough-
ion street boarding house within a few
days after her marriage to CLOSEUP. The
fact that the bridegroom was without
means and that he showed very little re-
gard for her was said to account for her
desperation. The attempt at suicide was
June 20, 1897, just fifteen days after the
marriage.
the young woman was saved. After re-
covering from the effects of the poison she
left Savannah and her husband and re-
turned to her fathers home in Bulloch
county Notwithstanding what she had
suffered at Glossups hands and the fact
that she had had every opportunity to
learn the manner of man that he was, Mrs
CLOSEUP returned TO her husband in Jan
uary, 1898, upon his promise that he would
never maltreat her again. The petition
states that very soon thereafter CLOSEUP
resumed his ill-treatment and abuse, and
during the same month In which she re-
turned to him drove her from the room
which they were occupying, and for a long
time refused to allow her 10 return. She
also charges that CLOSEUP circulated false
and damaging runnors against her charac-
ter of a most insulting and humliatlng
! nature, and that on account of his con-
! tinued cruel treatment she was again
forced to leave him in February, 1898.
Mrs. CLOSEUP further states that during
| the month of February, 1898, she left Sa-
vannah to go to the home of her parents
in Bulloch county; that CLOSEUP was on
| the train unknown to her, and that after
! the train left Savannah he approached hen
and by threats of personal violence and
| intimidation forced her to accompany him
TO Atlanta against her will. Upon their
! al rival in Atlanta he was again unkind
and cruel to her and refused to allow her
| to leave him or to furnish her with the
means of returning to Savannah. March
8, 1898, CLOSEUP, she says, left the place
where they were boarding and she has MOI
seen him since, leaving her alone in q
strange city without money and without
friends, aud it was only through the char
| ity of others that she was enabled tC
leave Atlanta and return to the home
of her parents.
Mrs. CLOSEUP considers that the facts
stated are sufficient to warrant her ir
asking for a total divorce. She asks thai
the name which she bore at the time of hel
marriage to CLOSEUP, Willie d. Holmes, be
restored to her Her maiden name wa:
Darcy, Holmes being the name of hel
first husband, who died some time pre-
vlous to her meeting with CLOSEUP. The
latter is said to be now a resident Of th'
state of Mississippi.

ONE FARE ONLY.
The Railroads Make This Rate for
the Musical Festival in Atlanta.

The Railroads Make This Rate for
the Musical Festival in Atlanta.
A special rate has been made for the
people of this city and intervening terri
tory which will enable nearly everybody
who wishes, to attend the great musical
festival to be given in Atlanta April 17th,
18th and 10Th.
The festival itself will be the greatest
musical event that has ever been held in
that city. Theodore Thomas and his great
orchestra of more than seventy-five expert
enced and noted artists will be the chief
attraction.
There will be one fare to Atlanta and
return. This is the lowest rate that has
been made for a long time and no doubt
many of our citizens will take advantage
of it, run up to Atlanta, see what the
people there are doing and attend the fes-
tiVal.
We understand that great preparations
are being made for the festival and that
the Gate City will be crowded upon this
occasion. The fact that such an organi-
zation as Thomas orchestra is coming to
Atlanta is enough within itself to crowd
the city.
Season tickets have been issued admit
ing one person to all the performances.
They cost only S. and If purchased now
you can have your choice of seats. so if
our people wish season ticket the best
thing for them to do Is to write Mr. T. II.
