CHARGED WITH ARSON.
Restaurant Man Arrested ON That
Charge by Detectives.


b. F. Colsen, proprietor of the Ken
lucky restaurant at No. 222 st. Julian
street, west, was arrested yesterday
morning by City Detective Murphy, and
is held at the police station on a charge
OF arson. The prisoner would neither
deny nor affirm the charge TO a represen-
tative of the Morning News. and refused
TO discuss the subject at all. He will be
given a preliminary examination by Re-
corder Myrick in Police Court this morn
ing.
1t is charged that Colsen set fire to the
restaurant shortly before 2 O'Clock Sun
day morning, but the fire was discovered
by a passing patrolman before IT had
gained much Roadway. The blaze was
started in quantity of table linen under
what was used as a cashiers desk and
the officers and firemen say that the
signs of kerosene at that time were I'M
mistakable. Detectives Stark and Muir
ply visited the restaurant yesterday
morning, and say that they found traces
of the oil on the wall of the place.
The officers say that they have wit
neSses who saw Colsen in the place, in
his shirt sleeves, not great while be-
fore the fire was discovered. 1t is
chsrEen that the place had been closed
great Whlle before tnat time ana tnat the
man had a lamp when seen. He carried
an insurance policy for $500 on the con-
teats OF the place. and the officers allsge
that the goods in the restaurant would
not bring near that amount.
Had the fire gotten any Roadway Sc
rious conflagration would have followed.
Market Square is the tenement section y
the city and 1t abounds with cheap lodg
ing houses. The buildings are anything
but fire proof, and fire with fair
start would probably be followed by .oss
% life. The detectives and Supt. Reilly
are c"f foent that the evidence in their
pc+ssessior is sufficient to warrant Re
corder Myrick in remanding the prisoner
for trial in the Superior Court.

RECORDERS BUSY DAY.
FOrty-seven Prisoners the Result or
Saturday and sundays Haul.

Saturday and sundays Haul.
The Recorder had full house yester-
day, even for a Monday. Forty-seven pris-
oners appeared before him on various
charges. The majority of them were up
on common place charges, and received
the customary alternative sentences of
fine or Imprisonment, but some of the
cases were of a more serious nature, and
were dealt with accordingly.
II. H. Lloyd and G. F. Love, both
white were up on a number of charges
each. They were sent in early in the
morning by Patrolman Parrish of the
Ocean Steamship Companys force, who
had rough time before he finally got
them in the patrol wagon and on the way
to the barracks. Lloyd is charged with
being drunk and disorderly, and with
cursing, abusing and beating the witness,
with an attempt to shoot Edward Ward,
and also with interfering with an officer
in the discharge of his duty. Love is
charged with most of the above offenses
with the further charge of having as
saulted and beaten Parrish. The case was
continued until this morning.
Alonzo Sheppard, colored. is charged
with assaulting with intent to murder
John Garland, also coored, June q. His
case, too, was continued, and so likewise
was the case of Richard Turner, colored,
charged with the theft of tobacco from
the A. LETTER Company
Another continued case was that of the
three negroes arrested on the charge of
gambling, an account of which appeared
in yesterdays Morning News. ]. f. Sher-
wood. white, got thirty days on the gang
for disorderly conduct, cursing and abus-
ing Patrolman Harper, who made the
arrest; while Mary Morrall, the young
negress, whose exploits Sunday led to
her arrest by Sergt Fleming, was given
a sentence of $40 or thirty days.

DIDN'T LICK WAR STAMPS.
Necessity Removed for First Time In
Three Years.

Necessity Removed for First Time IN
Three Years.
Savannahians. for the hrstItime in three
years, did not have to lick many war
revenue stamps yesterday. The with
cirawal of the tax upon most articles and
papers with which Savannahians have 20
deal became effective. and the revenue
attachments were not necessary. Force
of habit may have induced some to at
fix the stamps, anyway, but such cases
must have been few. for people have long
been wishing that the war revenue tax
were removed.
One of the complications arising from
the reduction OF the tax stamp revenue
is In the redemption OF stamps imprinted
on checks. The commissioner of internal
revenue has announced that application
for redemption of stamps must be made
by the bona -fide owners or their agents.
and that the burden OF tracing the history
of the stamps from the sale by the col
lector TO the time of their presentation
for redemption is upon the claimant. This
is a difficult matter In many cases. owing
TO the number OF hands through which
the stamps passed.

ACQUITTED of ASSAULT.
w. G. Groves Dismissed After Trial
in the Superior Court.

in the Superior Court.
W. c. Groves was tried i'm the Superior
Court yesterday morning, and was acquit
ted Of assault and battery upon his
brother-in-law, E. v. Petet. The assault
was committed on the afternoon of June
p, and with bruised face and pair
of black eyes as evidence Petet went
before the grand jury the same day, and
secured an indictment against Groves.
The evidence in the case was rather IN
teresting and 1t developed that a woman,
whose name was carefully guarded by
prosecutor and defendant alike was the
starting point of the trouble which re-
suited in the assault. Groves was repre-
scented by Robert l.. Colding, and his
statement of the trouble, in which the
assault was admitted, was accepted by
the jury.
mark about the woman, which Petet re-
sented. Angry words were passed, and
Groves struck his brother-in-law in the
face.
While the name of the woman was
withheld there were some who were on
TO the secret, and the former devotion TO
her husband was readily recalled. She
was infatuated with the man whom she
married. and when he deserted her, or at
ahy Adlc ieAl tHe CITY Sne NlSlteu ponce
headquarters for the purpose of having
the police locate him.
She was not at all satisfied with the at
tempts made by the police to find him,
and later obtained the services of pri-
waite detective. She has never been able
to learn his whereabouts, although ne
wrote her several days after his departure.
He stated at that time that 1t would be
needless for her to search, and that he
would never return to her. No reason for
his action was assigned in the letter,
which is still in the possession OF the
woman.
II Is related that during their married
life many hardships were encountered aid
that by sticking to her husband she be-
came hopelessly separated from her pan :
ents. who are said to have some means.
On one occasion the woman walked over
thirty miles with the man she idoiized,
for the purpose of obtaining employment
at a peach farm in North Georgia. She
secured position and for several weeks
made a living for herself and husband,
who was In ID health, by packing peaches
for shipment.
vt another time when her husband was
taken IL some of his relatives took charge
of him. They refused to recognize tho
woman 1s his wife and she declared that
she would not remain away from MIN
while he was i'll. Disgusting herself she
secured employment in the house as a
drndgery around the place while the man
lolled about and smoked and read. Even
then she seemed content with her lot.

THE FLAG OF JASPER.
Tcnnesseans Think That 1t Is Some
where in Georgia.

Tcnnesseans Think That II Is some
where in Georgia.
There is sentiment in may parts of
the country that, If still in existence. the
flag of Jasper should be found. and be
exhibited at the Interstate and West In
dian Fair, soon TO be held at Charleston.
The discussion has found its way to
Knoxville, where the consensus of opinion
seems to be that the flag is somewhere
in Georgia.
MIR. William Harden, librarian of the
Georgia Historical Society, and an ac-
knowledged authority on matters of this
character. said last night that he knew
of no record of what had become OF the
flag. and doubted seriously that 1t was
still in existence. He has never had an
inquiry on the subject before. he said,
and thinks that It is generally understood
that the flag, If not destroyed, is ire
trievably lost.

John Anderson, the negro boy who was
arrested last week by Detective Murphy
for causing the death of another boy.
named Matt c. Green. in Musgrove creek.
has been released from the police station
by Coroner Keller, after an investigation.
The story of Green's death and the ar
rest of Anderson has already been given
in the Morning News.
The boys were in swimming together
and had been diving from the bank.
Green had just reached the surface of
the water when Anderson dove from the
bank. The heads of the two boys met
and Green was fatally injured. He was
taken to the Georgia Infirmary, where
later he died. The investigation showed
plainly that death had been due to an &C
cident and no inquest was held.
