DIED ALONE IN THE STREET.
Patrick J. Finn Found Dead in Perry
Lane.

The rigid body of Patrick ]. Finn a
"ei-known and popular man about town,
was found dead yesterday morning in
Perry lane, just east of Habersharn street
by negro named Kelly. The matter was
reported at police headquarters and. Cor
oner j. G. Keller was notified. An in
Vestlgation disclosed the fact that Mr.
FINN had died of apoplexy, probably late
Wednesday night. He had fallen on his
race and there was a confusion on the
forehead, but all of his jewelry and
money remained untouched, and were
turned over to his brother by the coroner
Mr.. Finn kept his horse near where he
was found, and the theory is that he
put the animal up late Wednesday night
and was stricken just after leaving the
stables. The signs of apoplexy were I'M
mistakable, and Dr. Keller decided an
inquest was unnecessary.
Mr.. Finn was well-known in Savannah
and was at one time in the grocery bust
ness with his brother Afterwards he
was the proprietor of an auction house
on Broughton street but several years
ago he retired from business. He was
very fond of fast horses and once re-
marked that eating and driving were the
pleasures that he found life worth living
for He was big jovial man and made
friends of all those with whom he came
In contact.
The remains were removed to the resi-
dence of his brother, Mr.. James r. Finn
at No. 4O2 Bolton street, west. The
funeral will take place at $3.50 o'clock this
afternoon from the Sacred Heart Church
The interment will be in the Cathedral
Cemetery.

WILL NOT DISCUSS IT.
Mr.. Lester Won't Say Whether He
WIFI Accept Franchises.

IN
1t cannot be learned whether the Yer
non Shell Road Company will accept the
ordinance granting it franchises for the
construction of a street railway, as passed
at the meeting of Council night before
last Not until those interested in the
project can have a consultation, it is
thought, will decision be re ached
Mr.. D. B. Lester. who has been promi-
nenty identified with the effort to get
the franchise for the proposed line, was
seen yesterday He was asked whether
he would accept the ordinance. but de-
clined to express himself in any way
about the matter. He would not say
how long 1t might be before he would be
in a position to notify the city of his &C
ceptance or dec.ina ton.
Friends of Mr.. Lester and his projected
line regard the conditions imposed in the
ordinance as onerous, and they believe it
will not be accepted. The Northern cap
italists interested with Mr.. Lester, how
ever, may consider that the line might be
made to pay I'm the future, if not immedi-
atey after its estab ishment, and the pro-
ject may be carried out.

PROSPEROUS PLANTER BUNCoED.
Had Man Arrested on a Charge of
Cheating and SwindIInE.

John H. Hearst was arrested yesterday
by the police, and will be taken to Bull
loch county this morning on warrant
charging him with cheating and swind-
ling. Mr. w. II, Bitch. a well-to-do mer-
chant and planter, is the complainant and
followed Hearst to Savannah. Mr. Bitch
says that Hearst called on him and stated
that he was a wealthy resident of Ten
nessee and wished to purchase the Bu,-
loch county gentleman's place. Hearst
was smooth talker. and Mr.. Bitch says
he did not suspect but that he was all
that he claimed to be. Mr.. Bitch says
that Hearst was his guest for five days,
during which time he took several buggy
rides. for which the planter has since had
to pay Hearst agreed to pay $4,000 for
the Bitch place, but when that gentle
man became tired of waiting and made an
effort to have the deal closed, Hearst
made sudden departure for this city.

FEGEAS MUCH BETTER.
Detectives Arrested Man, but Will
Give Out no Information.

Mr.. Emile F. Fegeas. who was badly
burned and cut during the Broughton
street fire Wednesday morning, was re-
ported as resting easily last night, al
though his condition is still considered Sc
rious. He suffers much pain and nurse
is kept by his side constantly. The jewel
er Is still at the Savannah Hospital and
the attending physicians would not per-
NIT his wife to have him removed to a
hotel.
Had it not been for a heavy flannel
shirt worn by Mr.. Fegeas he would prob
ably have been burned to death. The thick
flannel was badly scorched, but prevent
ed the fire from reaching his body. 1t is
now believed. that Mr.. Fegeas' sight viii
be saved, although If ne RECEIVERS he will
be dishgured for life. One of his hands is
almost burned to crisp.
The jewels stolen during the fire have
not been recovered. The detectives OBJ
tained a description of the gems from
Mrs. Fegeas yesterday and will make
every effort TO recover them. 1t is doubt
full If the diamonds will ever be found,
however. Mrs. Fegeas has been unable as
yet to make any arrangements for re-
opening the business, but stated that she
would probably be ready again within the
next three weeks. Mrs. Fegeas lost sew
eral gowns that were made for her last
summer when her husband decided to re-
move 20 Paris. He changed his mind be-
cause he found that If he returned to his
native land he might have to serve in
the army, and the dresses were never
worn by his wife. Many valuable wigs
in the store were burned and there is very
little of value left. The keys to a safety
deposit vault and to the iron safe in the
store were lost during the fire and a lock-
smith had to be called in yesterday to
open the safe.
AS the Morning News stated yesterday,
Superintendent Mcguire is satisfied that
the fire was of incendiary origin He
asked the detectives to arrest a party
whom he had reason to believe could
throw some light on the subject 1t is
known that the person in question was
arrested last night or yesterday after
noon by the police, but no information
concerning his arrest could be obtained
at headquarters. Superintendent Screven
would neither deny or confirm the report
that the man was under arrest, and re-
ferred the newspaper man to the police
blotter. No record of his arrest appeared
on that book, which. however, does not
contain a record of every arrest that is
made. This is the book that the public is
permitted to gaze upon. Matters of inn
portance are seldom found on this blot ter
a the time of their occurrence and fire.
quently are not entered at all. Because
of the secrecy manifested by the police
officials the name of the prisoner could
not be learned.

A CHURCH FOR THUNDERBoLr.
The Residents of the suburb Are CO.
Ing to Build One.

There is a movement to build a church
at Thunderboit The white residents of
the suburb have no house of worship, and
so they have decided to erect one. The
first step in the way of raising a fund
was made Tuesday night, when an oys-
ter roast and entertainment was given at
the home of Mrs. ferguson, under the
direction of two of the ladies most inter-
ested in the work, Miss ferguson and
Miss Sallie Gray.
1t is intended that this affair shall be
but one of a series of entertainments that
will be given. one each month, until a
sum sufficient for the work has been
raised
1t is intended that the proposed church
shall be a union one, and it is hoped to
secure a minister from Savannah from
Sunday to Sunday to occupy the pulpit.
much on the plan that was pursued, last
summer with the Tybee Church
As Thunderboit has a growing popula-
ton, and as those interested in the plan
for the church are earnest and active
there is no doubt that 1t will be brought
to a successful contamination.

No time was lost by the purchasers of
the houses. They secured permits from
the tax assessors and proceeded with their
work, whether it was for the demolition
of old houses for the use of the wood for
fires, the tearing down of better ones to
re-erect them on other lots or TO use
the material in different structures, o.. to
remove them as they stood to neighboring
lots.
Many iaborers have been furnished EN-
