JOHN J. SULLIVAN DEAD.
His Funeral From the Cathedral
This Afternoon.

Mr.. John J. Sullivan died at his home,
No. 80 Bryan street, East, early yester-
day morning, after an illness of about
three weeks. For ten days he has been
unconscious and in a critical condition.
and for two or three days at least his
death had been hourly expected. Death
resulted from meningitis, following pneu-
monia From the time the former dis
ease developed no hope was entertained
for Mr.. Sulhvan's recovery and his fam
lily and friends have merely been wait
ing the approach of the end that it was
recognized was inevitable.
Mr.. Sullivan was 40 years old. and since
the attainment of his majority had been
a prominent and well-known figure in
the politics of Savannah and Chatham
county. In politics he had always taken
warm and close interest, but it was
an interest entirely unselish, for he
never held or was a candidate for a pub
lie office of any kind. 1t was frequently
said of him that he got less out of the
game than any other politician in the
city of Savannah.
Almost continuously for fifteen years or
more he had been a member of the ex-
ecutiye Committee of the Democratic
party of this county the occasions when
he was not serving the party in this ca
pacity being few and brief.
He was a warm friend, and those whom
he liked were able to enlist him actively
! in their service whenever he was needed.
| To further the political aspirations of his
! friends he gave unselishly of his money,
| his time, his influence and his personal
| popularity. He neither asked nor accept
| ed anything in return. Identified with the
| faction of the party known as the Liberal
Club since its organization, he had been
an enthusiastic and confessed partisan
and had fought that factions battles
whenever there was one to be waged
Mr. Sullivan was a member of the Hi
bernan Society and pay-member of the
Irish Jasper Greens. The latter organ
Zation will attend his funeral this after
noon. Mr.. Sullivan married Miss Mary
Ellen Ray, who, with six children, sur
wives him. The youngest child was born
only a week ago, when the husband and
father was lying unconscious upon his
deathbed He leaves also brother, NJ r
Sullivan. and two sisters, Miss Katie and
Miss Julia Sullivan.
For fifteen years Mr.. Sullivan had con-
Quoted the restaurant and cafe at 30
Bryan street east, and in the conduct
of this business had amassed "A comfort

The funeral will take place from his
late residence at $3.50 o'clock this after
noon. Services will also be conducted at
the Cathedral Of st. John the Baptist.
The interment will be in the Cathedral
Cemetery.
The pallbearers will be Messrs John r.
Dillon and Walter c. Hartridge, from the

TALKING A BUFFALO TRIP.
Savannah Cadets, as Well ms the
OgIethOrpes, Are Anxious to Co.

Savannah Cadets, as Well ms the
OgIethOrpes, Are Anxious to Go.
The Savannah Cadets, as well as the
Oglethorpe Light Infantry, are consider
ing the practicability of a trip to Buffalo,
N. Y, to take in the Pan-American-Ex-
position. Neither company has yet
evolved a well-defned plan. but it is not
improbable that action looking toward
such trip may be taken at the meetings
tonight.
1t is thought that such a trip would
involve an expense of about $40 a man.
If it should be decided upon, a plan
whereby each man might deposit some IS
month in the company treasury would
probably be followed, as the trip would
not be taken before June or July, there
would thus he sufficient time allowed for
the accumulation of a considerable fund.
Nearly all the members Of .tae command
have taken readily to the idea of going to
Buffalo. Their enthusiasm may result in
their laying aside so much each month
from their earnings and enjoy during the
summer, when most of them could man
age to get away from business what
would be a very pleasant and profitable
taunt

FOR PARADE ON FEB. ~.
out-Of-Town Companies of the First
Regiment May BE Here.

Out-of-ToWn Companies of the FIRST
Regiment May BE Here.
The success of the parade on Saturday
afternoon in honor of Gen. Robert E. Lee
has induced the members of the military
organizations to begin talking already
about the next public demonstration in
which they are to engage. Particularly is
this true of the First Infantry companies,
all of which expect to make a big show
ing on Feb. q, Washiugton's birthday.
Officers of the regiment in Savannah
have already begun their preparations to
secure a large representation of its
strength. Efforts will be made to induce
the out-of-twon companies of the regi-
ment 10 visit the city on that occasion,
and it is believed that most of them will
DO so. The out-of-town companies are
at Waynesboro, Statesboro, Brunswick
Sylvania and Swainsboro with another in
prospect at Mount Vernon.
With some confidence the officers rely
upon getting the commands from
Waynesboro Statesboro and Brunswick,
and it is quite possible that those from
the other places mentioned will visit Sa-
vannah to participate in the parade. For
the three new companies, those at
oH dAiSbOIOg OylNduld ana MI VERNON
opportunity would be afforded for APP
pearing upon their first parade. They
would have to spend a good deal of time
In drilling and fitting themselves for such
an appearance, but it is believed they
could manage to make a showing that,
considering the circumstances, would be
very creditable.
Another company that will appear upon
the parade for the first time is the EN-
met Rifles. commanded by Capt. e A.
drilling his men, and he expects to have
az least sixty out for the parade. 1t was
thought some time ago that the parade
of the Irish troops on St Patrick's day
would be the earliest for which he could
prepare his men, but the progress he has
made induces the belief that he will make
a fine showing on Washington's birth
day.
1t is quite possible that some form of
entertainment for the visiting military
will be arranged. 1t was thought that
a prize drill of squads from all com
mands in the regiment might be he'd at
the Guards Hall at night, to be follow
ed by a dance. The dancing feature,
however, caused this plan to be given
over, as the season will be Lent, during
which the young people do not indulge
in dancing.
The Savannah Volunteer Guards have
been accustomed for some years to spend
ing Washington's Birthday on the rifle
range, where the prizes held by the bat
teries. and offered by the captains, are
competed for. The Guards will so OBJ
serve the day this year. Other military
commands win also observe the day.

DENIED HE TOOK LAUDANUM.
Police However Are Holding KroE
for Attempting suicide.

r. c. Krog, a white man, living with
his wife and one child at No. 521 Mar
garet street. was taken to the police sta
ton about 10 O'Clock last night by Patrol
man Harmon Miller and held for safe
keeping" The officer said that the man
had attempted suicide in the evening by
taking laudanum and that his wife had
requested his arrest.
Or. George w. Heriot was called in to
attend the man, but upon his arrival was
informed that Krog was not at home. Mrs.
Krog stated that her husband had taken
the drug and had afterwards told her
about 1t. The physician learned that af-
ter telling his wife what he had done
krog had visited a bar and had drank
a glass of beer. He became nauseated
and the physician believed at that time
his stomach was relieved of the poison.
DR.. Heriot reported the matter to Patrol
man Miller and stated that he thought
that the man had taken about an ounce
Of the drug. Shortly afterwards Krog
was located by the officer and put in a
cell in the stationhouse
The man denied having attempted sui
eide, and said that he had not taken any
poison or told anyone that he had. He
spoke nationally and was perfectly sober.
He seemed surprised when told what he
was held for, and said that he had no
reason for wishing to take his life Krog
admitted that he drank a half pint of
whisky in the morning and that he had
several glasses Of beer during the day.
The detectives received a letter from
Charleston several days ago asking them
to locate krog, but for what purpose is
not known. He will be held at headquar-
ters until an investigation is made by the
detectives. 1t is said that the man has
been out of employment for some time

THE STORY or A DOLLAR.
And How 1t Was VaIiantly Defended
by a Small Boy with a Knife.


Quite an amusing incident occurred the
other afternoon on William street where
a crowd of youngsters were at play. They
were digging trenches in the street, when,
with one handful of earth was turned a
dollar. Benjamin Blumberg, s years old,
who lives at No. 526 Williams street, laid
hold of the coin. but fearing that his right
of possession to it might be brought into
question, and being not all sure that he
could vindicate by force against the
crowd, what he considered to be his right
TO keep it. He bethought him of the copy
book maxim, that discretion is the bet
ter part of valor, and skipped home with
his treasure.
He was quite right in what he feared
the other boys would think of his title
to the money, for after a consulta-
ton among themselves, and the calling
in for advice of two of the grown sisters
CT one of the boys that thought he should
have the dollar, because he had dug it
up, they stormed Blumberg's house, at
tempting to carry the outer walls by an
assault of brick-bats, while the two sis
tiers went through the door to dictate the
terms of surrender.
The assailants found young Blumberg,
all right, but he had seen them coming
secured a butcher knife and protected
in the rear and on both tanks by getting
into a corner of the room, he held his
weapon we'll to the front, prepared to 40
battle with the enemy.
The sisters who had expected but
feeble resistance, if any at all, were taken
by surprise at the war-like preparations,
and their surprise was turned to con-
sternation when Blumberg, assuming the
aggressive. advanced on them with the
formidable looking knife. The front door
had been closed with a catch lock when
the intruders had entered, so this avenue
of escape being cut off, they fled in
continently through the window. The al
lied army then called on Patrolman
Brown to arrest Blumbergi but Brown
refused to interfere.
When Blumberg's father came home
and found out the story of his sons brill
liant stand he gave him another dollar
as a reward of valor, which was not
bad thing as far as the boy could see. for
the first dollar turned out to be of lead.

The mass meeting for discussing the
plans for a united charity organization
will be held tomorrow Afternoon at the
City Exchange. The plans, bylaws, etc.
as drawn up by a committee of ministers
have already been published. 1t is these
plans that viii receive the consideration
of the meeting.
The promoters, as well as all persons
that have given the matter any study
are convinced of the necessity of such an
organization as they wish to form, and 1t
is their hope that the meeting will be
well attended, and be fruitful of perma-
nent results.

COMMITTEES NOT NAMED.
MIR. Charlton Hasn't All Who Are to
Serve on Monument Board.

MIR. Charlton Hasn't All Who Are to
Serve ON Monument Board.
Mr.. Walter G.. Charlton, who has taken
the lead in the effort to have committees
appointed from the four historical socie-
ties of Georgia and then effect their or
ganization as petitioners for a charter
of incorporation for the purpose of erect
ing d monument to Oglethorpe in Savan-
nah, has not yet been able to get his list
! complete.
The Sons of the Revolution, the So
cety of Colonial Danes, the Daughters
of the American Revolution and the Sons
of Colonial Wars are to be represented
by six members upon the general board,
but a few of the representatives, are yet
to be named. AS soon as they have been
appointed and have accepted the appoint
ment, the charter will be applied
for and the work of adding to funds in
hand for the erection of the monument
will proceed.
All through the last century, time and
again, would a suggestion be made that
monument to the founder of the col
ony of Georgia be established. Such "a
suggestion was embodied in an address
on Christian Benevolence, as Illustrated
in the Early History of Georgia" that
was delivered in Augusta on Jan. 10, 1860,
the occasion being the anniversary of the
organization of the Young Mems CHRIS
tian Association of that city. The adj
dress was delivered by Rev. c. W. How
ard, who closed his references to an Ogle-
thorpe monument as follows:
From the Savannah to the Chatta-
hoochee, from the Atlantic to our ter
minal mountains of the North, while our
cemeteries give evidence of private APP
probation of domestic loss, while the city
of Oglethorpe has erected tasteful and
costly monuments to it's defenders though
none to its founders the sole evidence APP
pealing to the eye, of our remembrance
of Oglethorpe, is a portrait suspended
In the Capitol at Milledgeville. Such is
the posthumous reward of heroic, unos-
tentatious philanthropy. An epitaph in
parish church on one side of the Atlantic,
and on the other-a portrait in a collec-
ton of portraits. The absence of a fit
ting testimonial to the founder of our
state, by the people of the state is a
stain upon the escutcheon of Georgia"

Ex-COrpOraI VIII he Given PreIim-
mary Examination.
R. s. Harris, former corporal in the Re-
publican Blues who underwent trial by
court-martial and gained some notoriety
in that way, win be given a preliminary
examination by Recorder Myrick at this
mornings session of Police Court on two
charges of larceny and one of obtaining
a pair of trousers from the Metropolitan
Clothing Company under false pretenses.
The story of Harris arrest was printed
in the Morning News yesterday. The
young man refused to make any state
ment yesterday, and in no manner en-
deavored to refute the charges entered
against him by Detective Wall. Harris
appeared unconcerned and was reading a
newspaper in his cell when seen by a rep
resentative of the Morning News. The
eX-corporal took his confinement coolly
and seemingly realizes that the police
have the dead wood" on him.

Ex-PatrOImnn Made am Unusual Plea
mt Police HEADQUARTERS

Ex-PatroIman Jerry McGillicuddy en-
tered police headquarters last night intox-
icated and asked Desk Sergeant Baughn
to lock him up. He appeared on the
verge of delirium tremens, and stated that
his Imprisonment would be the only
means of preventing him from doing some
thing desperate. The drunken man asked
Sergt. Baughn to be sure and not put
him on the blotter as a lodger, but to
enter formal charges of drunkenness
against him. lie asked that the charge
not be made too severe. inasmuch as he
only desired to remain in custody for three
or four days, feeling sure that within that
time he could straighten up. Drunken
ness caused McGillicuddy's discharge from
the police force, after serving less than
a month
