NOT TO SPRING TRAP
MRS. ELLA HALL WILL NOT HANG
HER FATHERS MURDERER.
ASKED TO CUT DOWN BODY.
AND EXPECTS TO BE PRESENT
DURING THE PRELIMINARIEs AND
HANGING.

Feels Like Would Like to Spring
Trap and Might DO So If Sheriff
Will Let Her-Thinl<s 1t Justice
That She should See Bryant Swing
ms Through Him She Lost Father
and Home and Nearly Her Life.
Boisy Bryant, Condemned Man,
Murdered w. A. Hynds of Adel-Is
to BE Hanged at Nashville, Ca
Sept. IL.
Mrs. Ella Hall of Barney, Brooks
county, who was reported to have
asked the sheriff of Berrien county the
privilege of springing the trap at the
hanging of the man who murdered her
father, at Nashville, Sept. II, has writ
ten the Morning News denying that
she made such request of the sher-
iff She says that she asked only for
permission to cut down Bryant after
he should have been hanged.
Mrs. Hall says:
Mrs. Halls Letter.
81 am sorry that the papers or some
one has made a mistake in regards to
my springing the trap. / did not ask
that privilege, but asked that 1
might cut down the cruel imp of hui
mainly. 1 feel at times, though, as If
1 could spring the trap that will
launch so wicked a man as Bryant
into the unknown; and if the law will
let me L may spring the trap after all,
for when l think of all that cruel ne
gro took from me 1 feel like standing
and seeing his neck stretched.
Have you ever had to part from
g OF NV
dear sainted mother and saw her
bright life go out, she leaving five
small children; then, five years ago,
had to part with a dear beloved hus
band, and now my cup of bitterness
| is indeed full to overlooking as l have
to live through again and again the
sad, heart-rending scenes that took
| place about the bedside of my dear
father during the four days of his
suffering. He was a noble souled man
and he was shot down while doing his
duty.
Knew No Fear.
HE was an officer and one that
knew no fear. He believed in justice
for as he told me afterward, he could
| have killed Bryant but did not think
the negro would give him any trouble
and therefore did not wish to hurt
| him. 1t was planned to kill my faith

| after the shooting that he knew there
had been a plot to kill him. but that
the law could not get enough evidence

Il want the mistake about my
! springing the trap corrected, but
will see that negro hung, and after he
| is hung L will cut the rope, or that is
| what 1 asked the sheriff to let me do
I believe in justice and justice to my
way of thinking is to stand and see
/ him hung, which 1 shall gladly do. He
took all from me: my dearly beloved
father, and my home and very nearly

The Salvation Army held forth on
Broughton street last night, but did
not trespass on the forbidden portion
of the thoroughfare west of Drayton
street. The captain had said that she
did not know whether she would OBJ
serve the orders of the Mayor, and
the police were instructed to bring the
hosts to the barracks If they made
an attempt to violate the provisions of
their permit. s&&G
Capt. Wood evidently thought discre-
ton the better part OF valor, and thus
wisely enough relieved the police of
a very unpleasant duty. The native

of Miss Capt. Wood.

D0UGHERTY AND FAIRBURN.
Two Clever Pugilists Who May Be
Brought to Savannah for Matches.

ceived letter from ]. F. Dougherty,
the manager of Eddie Lenny, who
states that Danny Dougherty is rather
anxious to come to Savannah for g.
bout with Tommy Feltz, or that he
will make match with Tommy to be
pulled off in Philadelphia. Dougherty
states also that Joe Fairburn would
like to get another match on in Sa-
vannah, and suggests that such a deal
be made between him and Lenny.
Lenny and Fairburn met once BE-
fore before the Savannah Athletic
Club, and Lenny won on a knockout
Fairburn claimed not to be in good
shape, however, and thinks he can
make much better show if given an
other chance.

George Sullivan, handsome lad
about sixteen years old, from "over

morning by Superintendent of Police
Reilly. Sullivan came to Savannah
last Sunday on an excursion, and liked
the place so well that he decided to
stay here and seek employment. His
search during the week did not profit
him anything. and yesterday he went
to the Superintendent Of police and
told him that he was stranded, ana
would like to return home. The chief
wired the young mans father that his
son was here, and requested that he
telegraph a sufficient sum to defray

The money was received last night

after which he should wash 1t with a de-
coction Of lockwood" To get rid of head
ache he prescribes keeping tender hem
lock leaves In the shoes Of the patient,
next the soles of the feet" The best way
to cure hoarseness, ne declares, is to dry
nettle-roots in an oven, powder them finely,
mix with an equal quantity of treacle and
take a teaspoonful OF the stuff twice
day" If one is so unfortunate as to get
the itch he should steep a shirt half an
hour in a quart of water mixed with half
an ounce of powdered. birthstone, dry it
slow and wear it four or five days" AS
sure cure of melancholia the physician
gives the following receipt: boil the Juice
of ground ivy with sweet oil and white
wine into an ointment. Shave the head
and anoint It Herewith. and rub 1t in
warm every other day for three weeks.
Bruise also the leaves OF the ivy and bind
them on the head, and give three spoons
fuls of the juice warm every morning"
REMEDIES FOR CONSUMPTION.
Two pages Of remedies for the cure of
consumption are given. and two Of the
principal ones, which will doubtless prove
interesting to everybody, and especially to
physicians, are well worth reproducing
here word for word. One of them reads as
follows: ''Turn a pint of skinned milk
with half a pint of small beer. Boil in
this whey about twenty ivy leaves and two
or three sprigs OF hyssop. Drink half over
night. the rest in the morning. for two
months daily. or until cured" And this is
the other one: Take cow heel from the
tripe house. two quarts of new milk, two
ounces of hartshorn shavings. five ounces
of singlass. quarter of pound of sugar
candy and race of ginger Put all these
in pot and set them in an oven after the
bread is drawn. Let il continue there until
the oven is near cold. and compel the pa
tient TO live this diet until he Is well
and strong once more" And a little foot
note backs up this receipt with the dec
laration that "Mr. Masters. OF Evesham,
having faithfully carried out this plan of
cure. had entirely recovered from the
dreadful malady."

1.-THE bees that live in the white-bordered
doorway have never been known to mis-
take the gray-bordered entrance for their
own home. And no matter how far away
from their family they may wander the
smart little insects always know the prop
er route back home, and they never lose
time by travelling in roundabout way, but
take the shortest and most direct course
every time.
There is no reason why the culture OF
bees should not be entirely successful here
In Indiana OF course, the success OF such
an enterprise depends upon the bee-keep-
er, not the bees, for there are no lazy bees.
In locating an apiary IT is well to remember
that hives should never be placed up
against buildings or old fences. as one
needs plenty of room around a hive while
working with the insects. They should
never be placed Where horses or cattle
constantly pass; for at times. when honey
is scarce. the odor of the animals will pro-
woke an attack, and If the bees are per-
mitted in the same Enclosure the stock
will be in danger of their lives. No grass
weeds should be allowed to grow within
two feet of the entrance to hive, as much
time is lost by the bees falling in the
grass. They become chilled by rain or
dew in cool weather or fall victims to toads
or spiders, and the returning queens are
thus liable to be lost"

Kansas City, Feb. 20-Kansas City to-
day is without its five principal charter
officers. as a result of yesterdays decis-
ion of the state supreme court ousting
City Comptroller Lund, City Physician
Coffin, Clerk Curry, Assessor Yost and
City Counselor Middlebrook, hold-over
Republicans. After the decision had be-
come thoroughly understood and they
had sought the advice of their attorneys
each of the ousted Republicans left his
office, refusing to assume responsibility
for its future conduct, and informing
their clerks that if they remained at
their desks they must do so upon their
own responsibility. Thus practically all
the city's business came to an abrupt
standstill.
The trouble arose a year ago, when
the city council refused to confirm the
nominations for these offices sent in by
Mayor Reed, a Democrat. The mayor
has called a special meeting of his politi-
cal associates to consider the situation.

TO OUTLAW DEBTS
In Gambling Is Recommended as
Good Thing.

New York, Feb. 2O-The trial of
Goudie's alleged accomplice in the
Liverpool bank frauds is exciting more
interest than anything going on in pub
lie or social life, says a London dispatch
to the Tribune. 1t is an object lesson
of the criminal tendencies prevailing in
betting more practical than any evil
dence obtained by the select committee
of the house of lords during its sessions.
This fact induces many practical re-
formers to believe that the best method
of preventing abuses and excuses in
gambling on horse racing will be to
make betting a valid contract, which
can be enforced by legal process only
within. a month and to render it a Grim
inal offense for bookmakers to attempt
to obtain money after that period by
threats of exposure or otherwise.
