Negro Badly Wanted by Police
Drowned in Wilmington River.

The body of Adam Reid, negro known

yesterday morning in the river near Will

Saturday night. No report of the tragedy
was made in the city until the body

Saturday night A companion offered to
wager his salary that Reid could not
swim across the river, and "Kill-Time'
accepted the wager. The water was
rough at the time and the swimmer went
down in sight of those on the bank
Reid was rather a desperate individual
and the police had been searching for
him for months. About year ago he
was arrested in the Fort by Patrolman
Stafford for fighting. He struck the Off

in one of the many hooks on the East

A blaze in the two-story frame house
at 522 Duffy street, west, owned and oc-
cupied by Elizabeth Cohen, called Out
the apparatus from the Barnard and Hen
ry street fire stations at an early hour
yesterday morning. An alarm was sound
ed from box IS, at Duffy and Burroughs

burned in the parlor floor.
The men at the Thirty-eighth street
station turned out of their beds for the
first time since shey have been on duty

| Savannah Hospital yesterday after an
illness of about a week. The remains
were removed during the day to his late
residence, No. e12 Drayton street. where
the funeral will take place this afternoon
at O'clock
Mr. Baker, although i'll for some days
was not forced to go to bed until a week
ago Saturday. After a few days it was
thought advisable to remove him 40 the
hospital so that he could receive the con-
slant medical attention that his condition
made necessary All that skilled cere and
tender nursing could do for him proved
unavailing. however, and he grew worse
gradually until the end came yesterday
morning at o'clock.
There were few if any men in Savau-
nah better known than MIR. Baker. He
was born IN Walthourville, Liberty coun-
ty, Sept. l, 1894. and after his gradua ton
from the old Oglethorpe College at Mil
ledgeville, came to Savannah, and under
the firm name of King & Baker, entered
the cotton business. AT the beginning of
the Civil War he enlisted and served
through the entire war. member OF
H1ampton's Legion. being, when the war
closed, the first sergeant of his troop.
After the war he returned to Savannah
and began teaching i'm the public schools,
a calling that was so congenial to his
natural tastes, and for which his excel
lent education and culture so eminently
fitted him, that he rose rapidly from a
teachers place to be the principal of the
school, and then to the position of super
intendent of education for Chatham coun-
ty, a place that he held uninterruptedly
for twenty-seven years. After severing
his connection with the public schools.
in 1895, he taught private classes up to
within a short time of his last sickness.

Shorty Jenkins will be the referee, but
the other officers of the bout will not be
selected until the day of the match
Moran's abilities in the fistic line are
known to the Savannah sporting class
through his bout with Jenkins; though
Kelly has never appeared here before he
appears to be a likely chap and one that

BELT LINE SCHEDULE.
A. &rB. Belt VIII Have More Cars in
Operation This Week.

Since the establishment of the Abercorn
and Barnard belt line ten-minute sched-
ule has been in operation and patrons of
this line have been led to inquire if the
change was permanent.
General Manager McIntire stated yes
terday that the seven and a half min
ute schedule will be resumed in a day or
two There are several cars in the shops
undergoing repairs, and just as soon as
this work is completed the quicker sched-
ule will he put on. The new belt line is
becoming popular and with the faster
schedule, or the addition of two or three
cars, those residing along the line will
be better satisfied. Cars are still being
run both ways on Whitaker street, and
there is no wait at transfer points. The
transfers are made wherever the cars
chance to meet and not at any particular
place.

Injured i'm Runaway Mt Pembroke.
EX-State Senator and Mrs. w. w. Gel
ger, who are well known in Savannah,
were injured in a runaway at Pembroke
Sunday, and 1t is understood that Mr.
Geiger's injuries are serious. Information
of the accident was brought by Mr.. L.
Gordon Harvey, solicitor general of Bry-
an county. 1t appears that the ex-Sen-
ator and his wife had been to church at
Pembroke, and that on their way home
the horse took fright. Both were thrown
from the buggy and Mrs. Geiger struck
the ground with much force. Mr.. Geger
held TO the lines and was thrown violently
from one side of the road to the other.
The frightened animal managed to break
loose from the harness and this probably
saved the life of the ex-senator.

From n British Vessel.

Some historic tlmbers were removed

They had been there for many years. and
We're taken from the "Hinchinbrook," a
British vessel which was burned on
March g. 1176, by two companies of rifle
men under command of Lieut.. Col. JOS

time, but it Is not known that any Of
her timbers were saved.
The remains of the "Hinchinbrook' s"
timbers are of oak and it is almost
impossible to make an incision into them
with the sharpest instrument so tough
is their structure. The members of the
family who own them will give them to

TO MAKE FERTILIZERS.
Cotton and Naval stores Men Form
Mutual Company.

petition for the Incorporation of the
mutual Fertilizer Company was filed yes
terday in the Office of the clerk of the
Superior Court. The company is to have
a capital stock actually paid in, of $50
co., and asks authority to increase this
at any time to 100000
The incorporators named are Charles
Ellis, Robert NJ. Butler, Henry d. Stew
ems, Charles G. Bell and Hunter, Pearce
& Battey, the firm being composed of ].
II. Hunter, w. K. Pearce and F. c. Bat
tey. All of those interested in the pro-
ject are prominent in the cotton and
naval stores trade of Savannah.
The company desires to carry on a gen
eral fertilizer business and to that end
authority is asked to buy and sell fer
tilizer lands and water rights and privi-
leges, to own and conduct railways and
lines of steamers and sailing craft, to
trade in all kinds of fertilizer materials
and crude fertilizers and to own and OPP
crate factories The petitioners are rep
resented by Messrs. Gignilliat & Stubs.
The Morning News has already told OF
the application made by Mr.. Charles Ellis
to the City Council for the purchase of
river front. For some days, it seemed,
MIR. EAis had ceased to press his applica-
ton. and though the members of Council
favored granting it on easy terms, it
seemed that the site would be lost to Mr..
Ellis and his associates through their
own inactivity.
The petition for Incorporation filed in
court gives assurance to the belief that
the project for the establishment of a
fertilizer factory near Savannah was well
backed and would be pushed to a sue
cessful conclusion. II the application for
a portion of the water works site is not
renewed, it will doubtless be because the
incorporators have found another loca-
ton, even more to their liking.
Capt John Flannery, Mrs Mary s..
Johnson and Capt. Patrick F. Gleason
flied their application for Incorporation
as the John Flannery Company in the
office of the clerk of the Superior Court
yesterday.
The company desires to conduct the cot
ton factorage and commission business
carried on so long under the firm name
of John Blannery & Co. To effect this
object the company wishes authority to
buy and sell lands, to deal in groceries
and merchandise of all kinds, to loan and
borrow money and in general to have the
rights and privileges necessary and ap-
purtenant to the conduct of such a bus
mess. ~
The capital stock is to be 10000, which
permission is asked to increase at any
time to $4,000. Incorporation is to be for
the period of twenty years, with the Gus
tomary privilege OF charter renewal at
the end OF that time
