Other indications point to the same
conclusion. 1t is said that three years
ago Capt Greene, who is reputed to be
millionaire, bought for his wife and
daughter a mansion in Paris in which
they have since lived, and settled upon
them in addition a sufficient sum of
money to render them independent for
life. 1t has been several times report

Judge Speer's boast that in his court
no innocent man, however lowly, is
ever made to suffer, and that no guilty
man, however rich and powerful, is
ever permitted to escape. This state

impressed itself upon the defendants

THEATER ALARM SOUNDED.
Firemen Hnstened There to Find
That Services Were Not Needed

That Services Were Not Needed.
The men from the Central fire sta
ton lost not a minute in getting to the
Theater at L o'clock yesterday after
noon. The touch button from the the
alter stage had been pushed, the signal
of fire.
The block and a half was made in
less than a minute, and the men spent
much longer in searching for some
trace of fire. No one could be found
who had touched the button, and there
was no apparent reason for the sound
ing of the alarm. There were men at
work on the stage, but they were GER
tain that they had not touched the
wires and caused the sending in of
false alarm. The firemen were at
loss to account for the freak of the
electrical apparatus, and could attrib-
ute their trip to but one cause.
They recalled what had been said
about the ghosts who are said to hold
forth in the theater. 1t has been the
custom of these phantoms to play their
pranks, and do their stunts during the
silent hours, and why one of them
should have decided to get active in
daylight was a point the firemen could
not clearly understand. They could,
however, attribute the sounding of the
alarm to no other cause.

PLEA OF CoLORED PREACHERS.
They Urge Movement for Reform
atOry.

atOry.
The Evangelical Minister'S Union,
colored, over which Rev. c. C. Cargile
presided last week, after discussing
the charge of Judge Barrow to the
grand jurors of the Superior Court,
appointed the following committee to
draw up resolutions expressive of
thanks to Judge Barrow, and memo
rializing the County Commissioners
for early action as to a reformatory.
Revs. c. L. Bonner, r. H. Singleton,
J. A. Jackson, E. D. Green and ].
w. Roberts.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas Judge Pope Barrow, in his
charge to the grand jurors of Chatham
Superior Court. for the March term,
has pointed out among other evils, the
deplorable state of affairs as practiced
in convict camps or farms in this
county upon juvenile criminals.
And whereas, the larger percentage
of. this class of criminals are colored
children, whose plastic minds are sus-
ceptible to the wickedness carried on
by the crime hardened older criminals
in these camps.
And whereas, God In His divine prov
idence. has given us a Judge who is
ready and willing to cooperate with
the County Commissioners in correct
ing this inhumane state of affairs by
the erection of reformatory or house
of correction for youthful criminals.
Resolved, first, That We the minis
tiers of the Evangelical Union of Sa-
vannah, express our sense of gratitude
to Judge Barrow, and
Resolved, second, That we, the mem
bers of the Colored Evangelical Min
listers Union, do most sincerely pledge
to the Hon. Judge Pope Barrow, their
moral religious and financial support,
and of their various congregation.

GREENE COMMITTEE TO MEET.
Its Organization VIII Be Effected
TO.-morro'S Night.


The initial meeting of the committee
that is to have charge of the arrange
ments for the Greene funeral, will be
held tomorrow night at o'clock at
the home of Mrs. Edward Karow, re-
gent of the Savannah Chapter of the
Daughters of the American Revolution.
1t will be attended by the members of
the committee named from that chap
ter, the committee from the City Coun-
ell and the committee from the Sons of
the Revolution.
Yesterday Mrs. Karow received for
NAL notification from the Mayor of
the action that had been taken by
Council relative to the petition she had
sent in, requesting cooperation from
the city in the work of preparing for
the ceremonies that will mark the re-
interment of the remains of the dis
tinguished dead. The members of the
committee, Aldermen Bacon, Jones and
Thomas, were made known to Mrs.
Karow.
On the committee from the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution, be-
sides Mrs. Karow, are Mrs. Robert t.
Waller and Mrs. Charles A. Barney.
A general chairman of the three COM
mittees will be chosen.
1t is desired to have the funeral as
soon as possible. The committee will
probably endeavor to perfect arrange
ments to have it early in April. A
letter was received yesterday by Mrs.
Karow from Mrs. Fairbanks, president
general of the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution, who desired to learn
the date that had been fixed upon for
the funeral, and what arrangements
have been made. Mrs. Fairbanks is
very anxious that some date be agreed
Upon that will make it possible for her
to be in Savannah at the time.

THEY'LL NOT ESCAPE.

one of which is warranted to furnish
positive clue to the destination of
Greene and Gaynor. This has been
located in the north of Africa, in South
America, China, the Philippine Islands
and half hundred other remote places
on the face of the globe.
The Prevailing Theory.
The leading conspirators were mod
erately elated when they came first to
Savannah, but as the days passed and
one by one the several dilatory pleas
on which they relied vanished from
under their feet under the decisions
of Judge Speer, it was easily to be
seen that they became more and more
discouraged and distressed.
The theory that obtains the greatest
degree of credence here is that, de-
pressed by the failure of the pleas
already filed to receive the favorable
consideration of the court, the return
of. the second Indictment against them
came to Greene and Gaynor as the
last straw that broke the camers back.
IT is reasonably certain that from
the very time of the Carter court
martial, four years ago, they have
been arranging a plan of escape, to
be put into operation whenever in
their judgment the exigencies of their
situation required. They had a wide
acquaintance with people and coun-
tries all over the earth, they had
brains and intelligence to guide them,
they had practically an unlimited sup
ply of money and ample time in
which carefully to mature their plans.
The suggestion is that when the last
disbursement came they determined
to put the plans they had made into
effect.
Took Nobody I'm Their Confidence.
So far as is known they took no
body into their confidence. Ed and
Win Gaynor both declare in the most
positive terms that they know moth
ing of the whereabouts of their broth
er and Capt. Greene.
Thursday morning when the defend
ants had all been ordered to appear
in court, Ed Gaynor was seen stand
ing outside the United States Court
House. His usually cheerful and good
natured countenance was overcast
with gloom and he seemed in process
OF mentally masticating and digesting
a most unpleasant idea. He was asked
what was the trouble.
why Capt Greene and John have
not showed up" was his answer.
Where are they?"

saw Capt. Greene Tuesday night. and
told him that viii and 1 were going
to take the next train for Savannah
we were not going to take any chances
of being behind time. l advised him to
come along, but he told'me to go ahead,
and that he and John would follow on
the next train"
Both Ed and Will Gaynor say that
this is the last either of them has
heard of or from either Capt. Greene
or their brother.
A Wen Matured Plan.
That the plan the fugitives followed
in effecting their escape had been well
matured is evidenced by the fact that
they pretended to start on their way
to Savannah, being followed to the
train they boarded by Secret Service
men or Pinkerton detectives in the em-
ploy Of the government. Shortly after
wards they seem to have disappeared.

Rainey's is 2O-horse-power machine,

his brothers ten. The gentlemen drove
their machines, each being equipped
with a rubber suit and mask, to keep
off the wind, which stings and burns
when the pace is as rapid as that the
machines reach. Each had his chauf-
feur, a Frenchman, along to watch the
machinery.
The two machines got an even start,
but Mr.. w. T. Rainey forged ahead
almost Immediately, because of the
greater horse power of his car. But
he had to catch and pass his brother,
or the race would not be to the swifter
machine. This meant that he had to
run ten miles, while Mr.. Roy Rainey
ran nine.
1t was interesting to watch the atti-
tudes assumed by the drivers. The
chauffeurs were not to be seen, for
they crouched behind the machinery,
but the drivers were exposed. Their
object was to minimize the wind re-
sistance. Mr.. Roy Rainey almost lay
on his back, while his brother leaned
far forward. and in these unchanged
attitudes they made the race.
AS each lap was passed, and the ma
chimes, buzzing and whirring, passed
beneath the wire, the effort of the spec
tators was to pick the winner. Gradu-
ally Mr.. w. T. Rainey was closing up
the distance, and until the last lap it
looked as though he would be the win
ner. He could not quite overcome the
mile handicap, however. and Mr.. Roy
Rainey passed under the wire about

Many people with weak digestio as
we'll as some physicians, consider the
first step to take in attempting to cure
Indigestion is to restrict the diet, either
by selecting certain foods and reject
ing others or to cut down the amount
of food eaten to barely enough to keep
soul and body together; in other words,
the starvation plan is by many sup
posed to be the first essential.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is fool
ish and unscientific to recommend diet
ing to a man already suffering from
starvation because indigestion itself
starves every organ, nerve and fibre in
the body.
What people with poor digestion most
need is abundant nutrition, plenty Of
good, wholesome, properly cooked food,
and something to assist the weak stom-
ach to digest it.
This is exactly the purpose for which
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted
and the true reason why they cure the
worst cases of stomach trouble.
Eat a sufficient amount of wholesome
food and after each meal take one or
two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to
promptly digest it.
In this way the system is nourished
and the overworked stomach rested, be-
cause the tablets will digest the food
whether the stomach works or not, one
grain of the active digestive principle
in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets being
sufficient to digest 5000 grains of meat,
eggs or other albuminous food.
DIR. Harlandson and DR.. Redwell rec
ommend these tablets in all cases of
defective digestion because the pepsin
and diastase in them are absolutely
free from animal matter and other i'm
purities. and being pleasant to the taste
are as safe and harmless for the child
as for the adult.

TWO TRIALS FOR MURDER.
Many Cases Assigned for Hearing In
the Superior Court.

The criminal docket was called by
Judge Seabrook in the Superior Court
yesterday morning and a large number
Of cases assigned for trial during the
coming week. These include two in
which the defendants have been indict-
ed by the grand jury for murder.
On Wednesday Lunnon Grant, alias
Lump. will face jury for the murder
Of Victor Rivers. Rivers was piano
player in the Red Light saloon and
dance hall on East Broad street. with
whom Grant became involved in a
drunken quarrel last October. Grant
says that he acted in self-defense,
while witnesses to the encounter say
that he was the aggressor. However
this may be, the quarrel was terminal
ed by a shot from Grants revolver,
Which stretched Rivers cold and dead
upon the dance house floor.
After the commission of the homicide
Grant made good his escape and only
recently was spotted and arrested in
Jacksonville and brought back to Sa-
Vannah to stand trial.
The second murder case, which Will
be tried on Thursday, is that of Aleck
Bowen. Bowen stabbed Henry Fore
man in a restaurant on River street,
on Dec. 16. The wound was not at
inrst regarded as serious and Foreman
fingered nearly a month before ne
uled. It resulted, however, in tetanus
or lockjaw, and this was the imme-
ulate cause of Foreman's death. I'm
al the death no report of the case had
oeen made to the police.
Thomas L. Avant will be tried on
friday for involuntary manslaughter.
AVant is the street car motorman who
ran over and killed the child of Eu-
gene Baker, a West Broad street drug
siSt. The grand jury reached the con-
cllSlon that Avant had been crimi-
t,lalIy negligent in the management of
ms car and the indictment for involun-
eary manslaughter was the conse-
quence.
Inc case was set for trial week
ago but Avant failed to put in an APP
Ppe ~ and his bond was estreated
ne bondsman, under the rule obtain
ing In the state courts, has until the
ueNt term of court to produce his prin-
pal so that the bond will not be fin
eiIy forfeited in case Avant shows up
On Friday.
For tomorrow and Tuesday cases
Ave been assigned at the rate of five
g. SIX a day, so that the week in the
tluperlor Court, in the event that all
f ie cases assigned are tried, will go
fat towards clearing the jail of de-
