VANDALS IN A CHURCH.
st. Stephens BurgIarized and Dor
sails Carried on.

| sails Carried on.
ST. Stephens Episcopal Church, col
ored, at Harris and Habersham streets
was broken into Sunday night, or early
! yesterday morning. the altar was desc
Grated, the raiment of the church was
stolen and things were turned upside
down in the vestry room.
The discovery was made yesterday
morning by Rev. Richard Bright and
the work of the vandals was seen a
few minutes later by Bishop Nelson,
who, the night before, had confirmed a
| class of eleven at st. Stephens. The
burglars entered the church by a win
dow through the library and made
their way to the chancel. They climb
ed upon the altar and pulled down a
handsome purple dorsals that had been
put up for Palm Sunday, and for the
communion service after the confirma-
ton by Bishop Nelson.
The white altar cloth used in the
communion service was also taken. The
were strewn about and the water in the
vases was poured on the chancel floor.
The vandals seemed intent upon doing
everything possible to desecrate the
most sacred part of the church. They
entered the Vestry room and broke
open a closet where the dorsals are
kept.
The handsome dorsals were given to
St. Stephens Church by Christ Church
several years ago. The red, white,
green and black ones were in the clos
ct, but only the red was taken. The
white, which is used on Easter Sun
day, and the black and green dorsals
were left in the closet. The thieves
poured a pitcher of water on the floor
and emptied the contents of a basin
in the room.
The silver communion set had been
taken by Rev. Bright to the rectory
and escaped mutilation. The cover to
the baptsmal font was taken, and in
it the communion table cloth, and the
red and purple dorsals probably found
refuge. The font cover is a bag shaped
cloth and the articles could have been
carried in it through the streets with
cut attracting attention.
The burglars were evidently not
looking for money and were bent only
on mischief. They paid no attention
to a desk in which some small change,
amounting to less than 81, was kept.
The articles taken are valueless to
any one save the church, and no use
can be made of them by the thieves.
The burglary would not have been dis
covered until later in the week, but
for the fact that chairs of the school
had been used in the church to accom-
modate the large congregation that
heard Bishop Nelson Sunday night.
Rev. Bright went into the church for
the purpose of getting the chairs for
use in the school room.
About a year ago burglars visited
the rectory of st. Stephens Church,
No. 313 Harris street, east, just to the
rear of the church, and secured several
dollars intended as an Easter offer
ing. The thieves at that time were
| frightened away and were never
! caught. Several nights later a white
man was arrested in the First Con-
gregational Church on Taylor and
Habersham streets, but he could not
be connected by the police with the
robbery of the rectory. The police
have no clue to the perpetrators of
the crime of Sunday night.

TELLS DIFFERENT STORY.
Police Have Found Witness to Low
ers Lane Shooting.

ers Lane shooting.
An eve witness to the shooting of
Charles Green, by William Dorsey Mil
Ter, near Lovers lane, Sunday, was
found yesterday by Mounted Sergeant
Joseph McCool. Joe Haywood, a ne
gro boy about the same age of Green
and Miller, claims to have been pres
ent when the shot was fired, and, al
though he agrees that it was an ac-
cident, he tells a different story.
Haywood was found at his home
No Is Reynolds street yesterday by
Sergt. McCool and stated that there
were no white boys present when
Green was shot, and that the weapon
used belonged to the young prisoner.
The witness claims that he was in
company with Green and Miller and
that they had been firing at target.
The pistol fell in the sand and be-
came filled with grit. Haywood says
that it was picked up by Miller, who
tried to knock the dirt out of the
chambers. While revolving the cham
Der the shot was fired and Green was
shot in the abdomen.
The boy who claims to have seen
the accident in this manner left i'm
mediately after the shooting but says
that he is positive that there were no
white boys in the vicinity. Miller still
sticks to his first statement, and in
sists that the pistol was one that two
white boys, who were going rabbit
hunting, had in their possession. He
borrowed the weapon and while in
speeding it one of the cartridges ex-
ploded.
Miller says that it is true that Hay
wood was near by, but that he didn' t
put in an appearance until about the
time the shot was fired, and was prob
ably too badly frightened to have no
ticed the white boys as they ran away
with the weapon. The wounded boy
is still at his home on Plant avenue
under the care of DR.. A. A. Morrison,
and while there is a chance for his
recovery he will most likely die. He
was reported as resting quietly last

UNWILLING OF MONUMENTS.

itary on Memorial Day.
The unwilling of the monuments to
Gen. Barlow and Gen. McLaws on
Memorial Day will be a feature that
will probably result in the participation
of all the military in the city. All of
the military had not contemplated pa
rading on Memorial Day, but the fea-
ture of unwilling the monuments has
induced much talk among members of
the several commands, and there can
be no doubt, if those who have charge
of the arrangements desire, that all
the military will participate in the cere-
monies.
1t is the earnest wish of many of the
members of the Oglethorpe Light In
fantry, who have been heard to ex-
press themselves, that they may have
part in a ceremony designed for the
unwilling of a monument to Gen. Bar
tow, who was their gallant commander
when they left Savannah for the front
and their long service in Virginia
Should there be any especial service
in connection with the unwilling, it is
thought probable that it will fall to
the OglethorpeS.

Forth by Miss Greene.


Forth by Miss Greene.
A letter was received by Mayor
Myers yesterday from Miss Mary Ward
Greene, great granddaughter of Gen.
Nathaniel Greene, to whom the Mayor
had written several days ago, giving
his reasons for holding that the re-
mains of the General should be REIN
TERED at Savannah.
In his letter the Mayor told of the
honors done the General during his
lifetime by Georgia and Savannah, and
OF the honors done his memory by Sa-
Yannah. Miss Greene told of honors
done elsewhere, concluding as follows:
We have taken the liberty of thus
entering the claims of other states, rot
because l have any desire to take from
the claims Of Georgia, but because feel
mat It is but just that the whole story
should be told, and, particularly, shall

CROP NOT HURT BY COLD.
In Southwest Georgia Prospects for
Peaches Are Great.

Maj. C. NJ. Ryals returned last night
from an inspection of his peach
orchards in Worth county, with the
cheering news that the crop in that
section had not been at all damaged by
the recent cold snap or by the rains
that have succeeded the cold.
Rain has been constantly falling in
that part of the peach belt, but it has
not hurt the prospect for heavy crop.
The trees are now in full bloom and
unless the weather conditions should
prove very unfavorable the growers are
certain to reap large returns this year.

FLAX IN NORTH DAKOTA
Conditions This Year Give Promise of An
Immense Crop.

George Heising, of the Minneapolis
chamber of commerce, recently made
trip through North Dakota. Mr..
Heising gave special attention to the
condition Of fax, and brings very fav-
orable reports. The general promise
is for magnificent yield, as the fax
in its present stand, is almost perfect.
In places the bulb has already formed
and the plant is be ginning to change
color. ~
Fifteen per cent is the estimate Mr..
Heising makes of the acreage that can
be classified as late fax. Eighty five
per cent of the total acreage is fax
seeded at about the usual time and
under about normal conditions. Of
this acreage, probably one half or about
AZ per cent of the total area is in such
shape that the yield may even now
almost be said to be assured, and the
remaining area is gradually coming to
the same point of relative safety. For
the IS per cent that is classified as late
fax, the promise s excellent, but
most of it will be so late in maturing
that the possibility of some damage by
early frost must be considered.
On the whole, North Dakota stands
to break all records this year in flax
production. The enthusiasts in the
state, says Mr.. IHeising, ARE talking Of
Is, 600, 600 bushels for North Dakota
alone. Mr.. Heising made some cal
culations as to the total yield, but does
not care to give an estimate in
bushels until the general stand is
nearer maturity.

TRACEY HUNT OVER.
The Desparado, Surrounded by Posse,
Commits Suicide.

Harry Tracey, the notorious outlaw,
who, with David Merrill, escaped
from the Oregon penitentiary at Salem
on June 9th, after killing three guards,
killed himself August 9Th, after being
wounded by the rifle of one of the
posse in pursuit.
Tracey was surrounded in wheat
field near Fellowes, a station on the
Washington Central railroad, about
fifty miles west of Spokane, last Tues
day night. Word was sent back to
Davenport, the county seat, and
large number of armed men hurried
to the scene.
The posse, under Sheriff Gardner,
opened fire on the outlaw, and one
bullet pierced his right leg between
the knee and thigh.
About twenty minutes after being
wounded he shot himself with one Of
his revolvers, and his body was found
Wednesday morning after daybreak.
The revolver with which he killed
himself was grasped tightly in his
right hand.
Tracey was hunted down by posse
of Creston citizens. Surrounded he
engaged in running battle with his
pursuers His leg was broken by a
bullet and an artery bled profusely.
He crept into wheat field and tried
to tie up the artery. Becoming des-
perate he evidently put his revolver
to his head and fred bullet into his
brain. At daylight his body was
found, already cold.

The state board of equalization last
Friday, at Bismack, assessed express
companies the same as last year, and
began upon telegraph companies.
Superintendent I. McMichael, of the
Western Union, appeared before the
board and asked for a reduction of
assessment, asserting that the present
rate of $11O mile was more than the
original cost OF the lines and that
taxation of franchise was unconstitu-
tional. It is probable the board will
make the same assessment as last year
on this property. Railroad property
will be increased about 81, 500, 900 over
the valuation of last year.
