BURGLAR KNOCKED HIM DOWN.
MIR. Mcdonald Found Thief in His
House, but Was FeIEed with a Chair.

AS the result of a desperate encounter
with a burglar shortly aftC- O'Clock
yesterday morning, Mr.. James P. Nc
Donald carries an ugly mark over his
right eye The early morning prowler
when surprised knocked Mr.. Mcdonald
with a chair and made his escape.
Mr.. Mcdonald had attended services in
one of the churches and arrived at his
home 412 Charlton street, west, at a
rather late hour. He started upstairs and
when almost at the top met a negro.
He made grab for the would be thief,
but before he could reach him was knock
ed down with a chair, MIR. Mcdonald got
up but was knocked down again. He got
up and went to his room for the purpose
of getting a revolver. Upon his return
to the hallway the negro had disap-
peared. Mr. Mcdonald called for the po-
house without finding anyone. The negro
must have just got into the place and
evidently used false keys, inasmuch ms
none of the windows or doors were dis
turbed. He effected his escape in a SINH
lar manner.
The matter was reported at police head
quarters but the city detectives could
find no clue upon which to work. Mr..
Mcdonald could not describe the burglar
and stated tnat he would not know him
ii he saw him again. Mr.. McDonald's
calls for the police created much excite
ment and Weakened the residents of that
section of the city.

FEWER ARRESTS IN 1900.
POLICE RECORD FOR CLOSING YEAR
OF CENTURY, $500.

The Total Number of Arrests "a Less
Than During 1S09-AuGust Credited
with the Greatest Number and
May with the Least-Twenty Pris-
oners Charged with Murder-The
Police Record by Months.
The annual report of Superintendent of
Police Thomas Screven will be completed
tomorrow by Clerk Robert Haym and
will be turned over to Mayor Myers. Mr..
Haym has been devotng much time and
attention to the statistical part of the re-
port. and it will be one of the neatest
the police department.
The police made eighty-four arrests less
than during the year 1892 the total for
1900 being $500. Several days ago it was
believed that the total would run about
200 short of the year previous, but the
nineteenth century closed with a squirt
and made 1900 hold her own. The figures
show that May was the highest month,
with All arrests credited to the police
and detectives. The banner month of the
year was August, when just 56S persons
were forced to ride in the patrol wagon
There were 1876 arrests less during the
past year on charges of larceny than in
the year before, according to Clerk
Haym's figures. The figures in this par
ticular instance do not really tell the
truth, for the reason that where very
valuable goods were stolen the arrest is
noted under the separate head of grand
larceny.
The papers will show that during the
year twenty persons were confined in the
police station house charged with muir
der. This does not mean that there we're
twenty homicides in Savannah, but that
that number of arrests were made. About
half of the total were picked up by the
detectives and patromen for murder in
other places, one of them having been
wanted as far west as Oregon
The number of arrests each month is
shown in the report, together with the
age, sex and color OF the prisoners. The
following is the table of arrests by
months, showing just what the police did
during the year:
January, "A; February, 4S9; March, 465;
April, 4S7; May, Ali; June, 47; July, 504;
August. 563; September, 1855; October, 4S2;
