CLAIMS HE WAS ROBBED.
White Man Found on the street with
Bloody Head.


A white man, very drunk and very
bloody, was discovered yesterday morn
ing shortly after o'clock at Harris and
East Broad streets by Patrolman Nose
Davis. The man had five cuts on the
head which were bleeding freely, and
his appearance dn consequence was such
that the officer thought him a better sub
ject for the hospital than the barracks,
and summoning the ambulance, sent him
to the Savannah Hospital.
The man gave the name of Grin Bell
and said that he lived at Monteith. Re
garding his condition he told more than
one story. At first he said THAI he had
been in a house a short distance on Har-
RS street from where he was found and
that he had been robbed of his pistol
money and railroad ticket. and then put
out of the place. He said, however, that
he could not identify the house.
Another story that he told the police
man was to the effect that on his way
to the city he had met two other excur-
sionists. whom he thought were from the
country, and that with them he had wan
dered about the city, taking in besides
the sights a large quantity of liquor. He
went to sleep, where he was found by the
policeman, and was awakened by his COM
panions, one of whom covered him with
a pistol while the other beat him on the
head with a club. They had already
robbed him when the attack took place
All that he knows about his assailants
is that the name of the one that held
the pistol is Thompson.
Bell stayed at the hospital until about
O'clock Later he called at the bar
racks and made a report of the affair
but even then he didn't tell very lucid
story No arrests have been made.

THE QUARANTINE STATION.
Surgeon white Says Many Improve
mentS Are TO BE Made.

Extensive improvements will be made at
the Savannah quarantine station shortly.
DR.. Joseph H White, assistant to Sur
seon General Wyman, who arrived in the
city yesterday from Tampa, states that
the appropriation has been made and that
the plans are now being prepared for con-
siderable Improvements at the station.
The Improvements will include additional
buildings. an extension of the wharf, i'm
proved apparatus for handling ballast
and other facilities for ready handling of
ships.
Considerable improvement has already
been made since the Marine Hospital Ser
vice took charge" said DIR. White. The
buildings have been extended, a new steam
chamber has been put in, and other facil-
tiles added. Neither the government nor
the city has any reason TO regret the ac-
QUESTION of the station by the Marine
Hospital Service"
Surgeon White, who is on duty at head
quarters, came South about two weeks
ago on tour Of inspection. He did not
anticipate then, however, that he would
1ind anything serious to demand his at
tention. He had gotten as far South as
Key West, in company with DR.. J. Y.
Porter. health officer of the state Of Flor
ported outbreak of yellow fever at Tam
pa.
Both officials hurried to that city and
spent several days in a work of close,
careful investigation. concluding with a
house-to-house insDec ion. The result has
already been announced. The conclusion
was that there is no yellow fever at
Tampa, and that there had not been any
there his summer The case of Mr.. c. +.
Baker of Savannah, DR.. While stated
was simply a severe attack of typhoid
from which he had the misfortune to suf-
fer a relapse.
DR.. White was formerly stationed in
Savannah for some time and has many
friends here. Besides, he is a native
Georgian. He and DR.. Brunner are very
warm friends and il was his confidence in
DR.. Whites judgment that caused Savan-
nahs health officer to advise against ac-
ton by Savannahs Sanitary Board until
a definite statement of the situation could
be obtained from DR.. White.
DR.. White is the guest of Dr. Drummer
He will leave for Washington to-day.

HAYES ON TRIAL TO-DAY.
Slayer of MOtorman Varnadoe VIII
Answer Before a Jury.


The case of the state against Seaborn
Hayes, charged with the murder of Mo-
torman Lucius B. Varnadoe, will be call
cd in the Superior Court this morning.
The solicitor general stated yesterday that
he did not intend to try the case of Joe
Lloyd, who, wi h James Blige is indicted
jointly with the actual perpetrator of the
deed, at the same time.
Hayes will be represented by Mr.. Raj
ford Falligant. 1t has been stated. on the
authority of what was said and done by
those primarily interested, that he would
be defended by Messrs. Twiggs e. Oliver
and r. l.. Colding. 1t appears, however,
that Hayes ard his friends We're not able
to pay the fees that these gentlemen de-
manded for their conduct IF a case so Sc
rious, and that. there fore they declined
TO serve in the capacity of his counsel
1t is probable that most, if not all. of
the morning session will be consumed in
the selection of a jury. The case has
aroused a great deal of public indigna-
ton and has he very much discussed.
Many of the jurors who are called. there
fore. will probably go off for cause.
Beyond a few remarks made by the de-
PENDANT at the time of his arrest and the
next morning, before he was seen by his

his justification upon the claim that the
motorman fired first, but beyond this lit
tie is known Of The line Of his defense
1t will be intere ting TO watch its devel-
onment

For THE SHOOT AND TILT,
The Georgia Hussars Are Ready to
Enter Teams for Both

me Georgia Hussnrs Are Ready to
Enter Teams for Both
meeting of the Georgia Hussars was
held last night at their armory, and it
was decided to enter a team in the an
nual rifle and carbine competition for the
Georgia troops that is to be held at the
Avondale range on Sept. and T. The
action of the Hussars will proba bly, be
followed soon by the companies in the city
that have not yet positively decided to en-
ter teams. 1t is confidently believed that
all the local commands will enter teams to
show their interest in an event that is TO
be held in Savannah.
The Hussars are also DESTROYS of enter
ing team 10 compete in the fitting con-
test that was advertised some time ago
to take place at the fair that is to be held
his fall in Atlanta. A prize of $1,000 was
offered for the contest, but the manage
ment of the fair failed to discover very
much interest in the matter among the
cavalry troops in the state. For this
reason 1t was decided to withdraw the
prize.
This does not please the Hussars. They
determined that there could be sufficient
interest aroused and Capt. Henry Meal
pin was authorized to correspond with the
commanding officers of other troops in the
state to see if they would enter teams 1t
is believed that the majority will do So
in which event the success of the tilting
tournament would be assured. The fair
management would probably yield to So
licitation and again offer the prize if sat
isfactory assurance could be afforded that
there would be sufficient number of
teams to make the sport interesting.

WILL BE NO PRELIMINARIEs
The Fight Between CorcOran and
Pearce Starts at 10 O'Clock.

Pearce starts at 10 O'Clock.
The prize fight at the theater will be-
gin promptly at 10 O'Clock tomorrow
night. This is promised by the manage
ment. The principals, Tommy Corcoran
and George Pearce. will leave their dress
ing rooms az that hour, and their appear
ance in the ring win be Immediately fol-
lowed by the usual announcement and the
DOMINIC of the mitts.
There will be no preliminaries. This
will be a matter of relief rather than dis
appointment to those who are expecting
TO see the fight. Corcoran and Pearce are
scheduled 10 go twenty-five rounds, and
that is fighting enough to please any
crowd. Nobody win object TO prelimi-
nares being cut.
With the thermometer standing as high
as it will probably be in the theater
with a sweltering mass of humanity from
top to bottom, any more than the ad-
vertised number of rounds would not be
particularly pleasing. Seeing anything
less interesting than the main bout gives
promise of being, would be a strain upon
the endurance of an audience.
1t has been suggested that the manage
ment of he fight provide blocks of ice
for the several windows of the theater
This. il is believed would result in the
temperature being lowered Fans, too,
some think, might be put in, but that
would probably be too heavy an expense
for just one night, and the management.
if it takes at all kindly to the cooling
suggestions, will probably confine itself
40 the ice. Ice water and palmetto fans
will be provided.
The box office will be open at the the
alter this morning. The prices will be
$3.50 for box seats, $15O for the first floor,
81 for the balcony and so cents foH the
gallery. 1t is believed that there will be
full house. No fight has aroused so
much interest in Savannah, and those
who delghs in pugism will be on hand
in force.
