MURDERER HAS CONFESSED.
SaIuda officer Will Come with 500
for Johnson.

George Johnson alias Henry Lindsay,
the negro arrested last week by Detec-
tives Murphy and Wall for murder in
Saluda county, South Carolina, will prob
ably be taken back tomorrow Superin-
tendent Screven received a letter yester-
day from Sheriff M. A. Whittle saying
that Johnson is still wanted, and that
the state would pay 500 reward for his
capture. A telegram was sent at once
appraising the sheriff of the capture of
Johnson, and the reply came that an Of
ficer would be sent for the murderer at
once and would probably reach Savan-
nah this morning.
Johnson realizes that it is no use to
withhold his identity and has again adj
mitted that he is the man who killed
Tank Moore in 1896. He says that the
killing was due to the attention that
Moore had been paying his wife. johnson
says that he was shot by Moore once,
and that upon his recovery he killed
Moore i'm a church. He was pursued, but
made his escape, after which he decided
not to return, and take a chance at be-
ing convicted.
Since the incarceration of the negro,
two women have called at police head
quarters at different times. claiming to
be the wives of johnson. If their stories
are true the prisoner is also guilty of
bigamy. The negro has been in Savannah
since directly after the killing of Moore.

win
There are a number of indictments to
be presented by the district attorney for
the consideration of the grand jury, but
none of particular public interest save the
case against Mr.. Solomon Sheftall and
Mr.. f. o. Futch. 1t will be remembered
that they were charged by Secret Ser
vice Agent Wright with passing an alter
ed silver certificate of the United States
Both were remanded by Commissioner
Lewis for the action of the grand iurv
The evidence against them, however is
not convincing, to say the best %of II. and
il is not assured that the grand tury will
return true bills. The circumstances of
the case are generally familiar.
Another case to be presented to the
grand jury is that against Charles Cole
man, who is charged with violating the
federal statutes by selling cigars without
atfiXing the stamps required by law Cole
man is said to have sold two boxes of
unstamped cigars to G. Tribe He had a
hearing before Commissioner Lewis some

WILL FIGHT TONIGHT.
$500 a side Has Been Posted on the
Porretto-Rice Contest.

$500 a side Has Been Posted on the
Porretto-Rice Contest.
Peter Porretto of Cincinnati and Austin
Rice of New London, Conn, will meet
tonight at the Theater for twenty rounds
The contest will be preceded by a six
round bout between local fighters. The
gong for the 'prelim" will sound prompt
ly at 9 o'clock, the management an
nounces.
Rice. accompanied by his manager, Fred
Fox. reached Savannah yesterday on the
Kansas City. About the first thing Fox
did on reaching the city was TO look up
rom Mcbride. He found that the latters
offer of $500 even on Porretto held good
and $500 a side was at once put up MI
Charles Levan being the stakeholder. Mr..
Mcbride has been strong for Porretto all
the time. and it is safe to say that there
are a great many more here, who have
seen him at work feel the same way about
it,
II is probable that there will be more
money on the fight than there has been on
any since the one pulled off between Cor
coran and Jack Mccullough, which the
sports will readily remember. The whole
bunch went to Mccullough then because
Tommie lost his head and committed a
foul A party of Atlanta lovers of the
game will get in during the day to take
in the fight. and ID is said they viii have
Porretto money with them. Rice's mag
nifcent record has not scared off any Of
the Porretto men, and they think the
little chap with the Italian name will be
in the bout to win.
A good house is expected by the man
agement. All the arrangements have
been perfected. and It is thought that
everything will go off without a hitch

STOLE BOTTLE OF MILK.
Arrest of Thief May Stop MILK steaI-
ing.

c. Anderson, colored. was arrested yes
terday morning by Mounted Patrolman
p. J. Eivers and sent to the police sta
ton on a charge of the larceny of bot
tie of milk from the stoop of Mrs. f.
Schirm, No. $40 Montgomery street. The
negro will be given a preliminary ex-
animation at this mornings session of Po-
lice Court and will probably be remanded
for trial before Judge Norwood.
Many complaints have been made at
police headquarters concerning the loss
of bottles Of milk from all over the city.
The milk is left early in tire morning
and very often when the family go to get
1t for breakfast 1t is missing. The milk
man is invariably blamed for neglecting
the household until he states that he
has left the milk as usual In many
cases the thief was kind enough to leave
the bottles and either drank the milk
or transferred it to another receptacle.
The police say that Anderson was caught
in the act and ii is to be hoped that
his arrest will put a stop to this class
of larceny.

A Cold NightIn Canada.

The sky at night is deep dark blue,
and the stars are like dropping balls OF
fire, so close they seem to be almost
within reach. The northern lights look
as If a titanic paint brush had been
dipped in phosphorescent flame and
drawn in great, bold strokes across
the heavens.
AS you pass the electric lamps you
see very fine particles of snow caught
up by the wind and glittering high in
the air like diamonds. But 1t Is a cold
night. and you are not sorry to get into
your room. First of all, you take a
blanket or so from the bed. for there
are people in Canada who sleep all the
year round with only sheet over
them, to such pitch of perfection
have they brought the heating of their
rooms.
After you have tucked yourself In
the stiffness of the night is broken oc-
casionally by a report like a cannon.
Have you ever been inside bathing
machine when mschievous boy
threw a stone at It? And, II so, do you
remember how you jumped? When the
walls of a wooden house crack in the
bitter cold, the effect Is similar, only
magnified. But you know what II
means here, so you only draw the
clothes closer round you, thankful that
you are snug and warm. And so good

Always Face the Engine.

In his prime the late Mr.. John Cook,
the great tourist agent, was a man of
iron frame. But when years OF rail-
way travelling, which averaged annual
ly some 10000 miles, produced certain
alarming symptoms, he made dis
covery that may be worth giving TO
the public. He found that the threat
ened trouble, something spinal, dis
appeared when he no longer sat with
his back TO the engine. He always
thereafter faced it, and that the prin'
ciple is sound will be borne out 10y
others whom he advised to do the
same. All who are called upon TO dc
much railway travelling will be wise to
sit facing the horses"

The Fninrr of onrLcr..

Professor Yung of the University OF
Guef, Switzerland, entcrtains great
fears concerning the future of our
lower limbs This sage Is of the opin-
ion that within the next thousand
years human beings will have forgot
ten how to use their legs, aud that
these limbs, IL evolution will not do
away with them. will serve as mere
ornaments 10 the rest of the body.
Professor Yung states that at the
present age human beings show a de-
cidcd aversion to personal or physical
locomotion, ald this is more manifest
every time new automatic travelling
instrument is invented aud rendered
practical. Steam, electricity, cable
power and the different veloclpede ma
chimes all bear an influence over US
ard create a dislike for walking, and
the future generations will likely have
the convenience of steerable airships
at their windows and electric auto
mobiles at their doors, and these con
yeyances will be 50 cheap that almost
every one can own them, and this
means the doom Of our legs.
The latter will be regarded as super
iluous appcndagcs no use viii be made
of them, and who knows but that they
may disappear altogethcrf But so
much more will our arms develop in
length aud strength. These are the
cruel laws Of evolution, and 1t will be
due to their pranks that future gen
crations will again resemble the apes
There will come another epoch Of short
legs and long arms.
