mischief left his marks on Whitaker street
Monday night, and the matter has been
reported at police headquarters. A chew

aker street, was taken away and a win

LA ROCHE WILL NOT RUN.
But Mr.. j. II. saussy Said to BE i'm

But Mr.. j. IA. Saussy Said to BE in
Race for Ordinary.
Mr.. W. P. LaRoche will not be in the
race for ordinary. to fiji the unexpired
term of Judge Hampton L. FerriII at the
election that the County Commissioners
will probably call to-day and which will
probably be held on Jan. 3d.
Mr.. LaRoche made this positive an
nouncement of intention to a Morning
News reporter yesterday, and it is re-
garded as altogether final.
II have concluded not to run for ordi-
nary" he said. MY law practice means
more to me than dollars and cents and
the abandonment of Law to fill the or
dinary's offie-for this would be the nat
ural consequence IL / should be elected
is, upon cool reflection, step that I can't
bring myself to take. 1 am 200 young and
the future too bright.
How grateful feel to my many friends
who came forward with offers of assist
ance would be difficult to express Their
friendship and loyalty was all that
friendship could ask and much more than
l expected"
In place of Mr.. LaRoche it is now well
understood that Mr.. J. r.. Saussy will be
- NiAN AoCt. INGCeillY II mas developed
that Mr.. Saussy is a bitter partisan"
and If this be true. as stated, he is the
only anti-administration candidate in the
he4d. He has wide knowledge of those
branches of the law which are embraced
within the jurisdiction of the Court of Or
binary, and an equally wide popularity
with all classes Of the people. Without
any doubt at all, he will make the race
exceedingly interesting for all the other
entries. With three or more administra-
ton candidates i'm the field. his recent con-
vietion of 'bitter partisanry," and it's re-
suit will do him more good than harm,
with the anti-aGministration and conser-
vative vote, from which he must expect
to derive the greater part of his strength.
Mr.. LaRoche's positive announcement
that he will not be a candidate will be q
source of regret to his friends, many of
whom have been jealous and unremdtting
ia their recent efforts to get him into
the race. His reasons, however these
friends must regard as sufficient.

TITUS ARRESTED AGAIN.
But Governor of Alabama Refused
ExtraditiOn Papers.

But Governor of Alabama Refused
EXtradition Papers.
Howell Titus, the Florida lawyer, who
has figured at various times in the courts
here, and who was released by the police
a few days ago, after having been arrest
ed for a threatened assault on a young
woman, was arrested again yesterday by
City Detective Frank Wall for the au-
thorities at Montgomery Ala Superin-
tendent of Police Screven received let
ter from Chief of Police A. Gerald of
Montgomery, saying that Titus had left
that city Dec. %, with several pieces of
jewelry, owned by a worthy young wo-
man who can i'll afford to dose the arti-
cles." II was also charged that he had
taken mandolin the property of a music
dealer. The police were asked to demand
the property, and in the event of his re-
fusal to surrender the articles, to place
him under arrest, and eXtradition papers
would be sent on.
Titus told the local officers that he had
the jewelry in question, but that he had
come by it rightfully, and intended to
hold on to 1t. He said he did not intend
to be taken in custody unless force was
used, but when the detective took hold
of MIN he made no show of resistance.
Titus was locked up until 10 o'clock last
night, when a telegram was received from
Chief Gerald saying that the Alabama
Governor had refused 10 sign extradition
papers, and asking for the release of the
prisoner The local police had nothing
else to do but give the man his liberty.
Titus has figured rather extensively
with the police and first attracted public
notice by a check transaction. Nothing
came out of that matter and only last
week he was arrested for threatening to
take the life of a young woman, at whose
house he created sensational scene. 1t
was on the eve of her marriage and Titus
was held by the police until after the
wedding at which time the case was
dropped and he was once more given his

DROVE HUNDREDS OF MILES.
Woman and Her Children Came All
the way From Texas.


From Houston, Tex, to Savannah
is a long way for a woman to
drive through the country, but that is
what one of the Galveston flood suffer
ers has practically done. She was report
ed yesterday as having been at Guyton,
thirty miles from Savannah. the day be-
fore.
Two mules draw the covered wagon in
which the woman. accompanied by her
seven children, drove. The outfit was
noted at Guyton, and one of those who
saw il told a reporter of the long trip the
party had taken. The woman Is on the
way to a farm some six miles from Rice
boro. in Liberty county, where her broth
er, William Bashlott, resides. Bashlott IS
in moderate circumstances and was not
able to pay the railroad fare OF the wo-
man and her children from Texas.
Before the great storm that swept Gal
weston che woman. a widow, lived in that
city with her children. The waters swept
away her home, however and it was
barely with their lives that she and her
children escaped. They made their way
penniless and destitute of nearly every
thing that they needed. to Houston
where assistance was provided them, and
they were able to secure the mules and
wagon with which, in lieu of other
means, the long trip to the eastern part
of Georgia was to be taken.
The start from Houston was made with
out a dollar. The woman and her chill
dren, the eldest OF whom is some fifteen
years. did not hesitate to ask for aid, ana
it is said that now they ask for a nickel
in the most matter-of-fact way and with
out the least trace of embarrassment.
Constant practice on a trip of many hum
dreds Of miles cured any timidity the
children might once nave displayed in this
line.
Savannah, it is said was to be stop
ping place for the outfit, and it may be
that requests for aid may be made upon
the people of this city.
