STABBED WHILE SHE SLEPT.
Knife Aimed at WOman's Heart
Landed on Her Arm.

While asleep at her home at No.
551 Bryan street, west, early last night
Maria Green, colored. was stabbed on
The left arm by a woman called Susan
The Green woman believes that the
knife was aimed at her heart and
thinks that she threw her arm up as
the knife was descending.
She reported to Patrolman Reisen
that when she opened her eyes the
knife was coming down and that in
voluntarily she threw her arm across
her breast. This move probably saved
her life. She recognized the woman
with the knife as a one living in the
rear of the premises and known in the
neighborhood as Susan.
The blow was a vicious one and the
cut on the arm bled profusely. But
for the prompt arrival of a physician
the woman would have bled to death
A careful search of the neighborhood
for her assailant was made by Patrol
man Reisen, but without success. The
Green woman claimed that she has no
idea why an attempt had been made
TO take her life, but the police be-
lieve that she knows more than she
cares to tell. They assign jealousy as
the motive for the assault, although
the wounded woman says this cannot
be the case.

FIREMEN WERE DRENCHED.
Men Mt Central station Answered
False Alarm in Rain.

The men at the central fire station
on Oglethorpe avenue, will bear testi-
mony that there was a cloud burst in
Savannah yesterday morning at 430
o'clock. At that hour they were rudely
walked by the sounding of an alarm
and were forced to go out while the
rain fell in torrents.
The Big Duke vas making an awful
racket and striking no particular box,
but the men in the fire stations are
governed by what shows up on the in
diCators. At the central station the in
dictator registered IS and the appara tus
was hurried to Broughton and Whit
aker streets. The indicators in the
other stations did not register anything
and the men from the house on Ogle-
thorpe avenue alone suffered.
Only partly dressed the firemen dash
ed through the street and got drenehed
When the box was reached it was
closed and there was no fire in sight.
The fact that none of the other apar-
atuS had appeared on the scene made
1t apparent to the water-soaked fire
laddies that the wires had played a
cruel prank on them. They had gotten
crossed and the sounding of the alarm
resulted. Not only were the men sat-
urated, but the apparatus was covered
with mud and several hours had to be
spent in cleaning up during the morn
ing. The difficulty with the wires was
afterwards .remedied by Electrician

LANDED WOMAN BURGLAR.
Detective Nose Davis Charges Hcl
With Robbing House.

A female burglar is the latest catch
of Detective Nose Davis. 1t isn't Of
ten that the police land a woman burg
lar, but burglary is the offense that
Rebecca Rogers, colored, will have to
answer for before Recorder Myrick in
Police Court this morning.
The woman was arrested last night
by Detective Davis near the Union
Station and is alleged to have entered
the home of b. Harper at No. 413 Perry
street, west, yesterday morning. A lady
living in the adjoining house saw the
Rogers woman come out of the place
with large bundle on her head.
Harper was engaged in selling vege-
tables on the street when his home
was visited and an entrance was effect
ed by drawing a staple from the door,
Once on the inside the woman gather
ed together all the clothing she could
find and left through the front door
The robbery was discovered when Har-
per returned The Rogers woman
when arrested was not dressed like the
woman who left the house with the
bundle, but Detective Davis is certain
that she changed her clothes after COM
uniting the theft. The prisoner denies
that she is guilty of the crime charged.

THE "SC0RIA" is COAL ASH.
That the Decision of Geological Sur
vey Relative to Warsaw Finds.

Tint the Decision of Geological Sur
vey Relative to Warsaw Finds.
There is now no further question
that the stuff picked up on Warsaw
beach last June and supposed to be
scoria from Mt. Pelee, was not scoria
but was coal refuse from some passing
steamer. This theory was advanced by
Mr.. H. B. Boyer. local forecast official
of the Weather Bureau, as soon as he
saw the material. but to settle the
matter definitely he sent a specimen to
the United States Geological Survey
Department at Washington
Yesterday a reply was received from
this department as follows: Accord
ing to Chief Chemist Sindgreen, who
has examined a thin section of the sup
posed volcanic scoria, it is simply Gin
ders (molten ash of coaD that has
probably been dumped from some
steamship"
1t is understood that more than one
specimen of this ash is kept in the cab
inets of Savannah collectors of curiosi-
ties. If this be so it is merely filling
space that might be utilized for some
thing more valuable.

CRAP ON CHURCH STEPS.
Police Raided Game at Independent
Presbyterian Church.


A crap game in full blast on the
steps of the Independent Presbyterian
Church was interrupted by Patrolman
Clarence Sandiford at noon yesterday
and after a lively chase on Bull street
one of the players was caught.
That the steps of a church on the
most prominent street in the city
should have been turned into a crap
table was more than the police could
stand, and Sandiford was hurried from
police headquarters on his bicycle for
the sole purpose of breaking up the
game. 1t had been reported by tele-
phone to the desk sergeant on duty
that several white boys were rolling
dice on the consecrated stone steps,
and too, in broad daylight with many
persons walking up and down Bull
street.
The police had heard good deal
about crap games at the Independent
Presbyterian Church and Patrolman
Allen Broom had on one occasion seen
one in operation. He was unable to
get close enough to make an arrest,
however, for when the uniform turned
the corner the Juvenile gamblers
scampered away like so many mice.
officer Sandiford determined to make
a successful attack when he was or
dered to the church by Desk Sergeant
Mock.
Patrolman Broom had just passed
the church, going north, and the boys
evidently understood that it would be
at least half an hour before he would
pass that way again. They were not
looking for the special cop from head
quarters, however. Officer Sandiford
reached the curbing and was about to
jump off his bicycle when the boys saw
him and the rattle of the bones ceased.
There were three. or four of them and
they scattered in every direction.
Sandlford had, however, carefully
laid his plans and selecting one of the
youngsters as his victim he ran him
down. Then the crap shooter, with
tears in his eyes, was marched down
Bull street to the Gamewell box on
York. Sandiford was afraid the young
ster might take a chance and held him
fast with one hand while he pushed his
bicycle along with the other. About
this time Patrolman Broom put in an
appearance and sent in a call for the
fast wagon.
Declaring that he was innocent of the
charge although the officer had wit
messed the commission of the grave Of
fence, the boy was placed in the patrol
wagon and taken to the police station
house Patrolman Sandiford followed
behind the wagon on his bicycle. The
young prisoner was not detained long
before bail was furnished for his APP
pearance before Recorder Myrick in
Police Court this morning.

by the City in Three InstaIIments.
Cost of the Present Plant $4,000.
II Has Been Thoroughly Satisfac-
tory.
Bids for the establishment of a new
compressor for the air lift plant at the
city water works were opened at noon
yesterday at the City Exchange by the
Water Committee. There were two
bidders, the Pneumatic Engineering
Company of New York and the Bacon
Air Lift Company of New York. The
award was made to the Pneumatic En-
cheering Company, whose bid was 3d.
9S7. The bid of the Bacon Air Lift
Company was $15,415.
1t was determined to make the award
to the Pneumatic Engineering Com
pany because of the fact that it's bid
was the lower. This company estab-
lished the plant that is now in opera
ton at the water works, and it is
known that its work is of the best.
The Bacon Air Lift Company has
bid twice upon the air lift work, but
both times unsuccessfully. 1t was this
company that put up the preliminary
experimental plant at the water works
more than year ago, connecting with
the Springfield WELL The operation of
this test was so satisfactory as to in
duce Council to put in complete plant
About three months ago this plant
was accepted by the city, and it's oper-
alton has since been very satisfactory
said Alderman Bacon, chairman of the
committee. 1t has done everything
promised of it, and the supply of water
has been greatly increased over the
natural flow.
The object of the new compressor is
to have duplicate of that now in OPP
GRAFTON. In the event that that enc
should break down, another will be in
readiness to do the work. 1t is not
regarded as wise, either, to
have an engine in constant OPP
Grafton, and the alternate use of the
compressors will mean longer life for
them.
The establishment of the duplicate
compressor will begin as soon as it can
be shipped from New York. Some
time will probably be required for the
company to make all it's arrangements.
1t is expected, however, that the COM
pressor will be ready for operation by
March 1. Payment by the city will be
made in three installments. The cost
of equipping the present plant was $685.

The money that you spend away from
home never comes back any more"
Do business men think of this?
Take you, for instance. Have you
ever bought an article away from home
because it was a few cents cheaper
than you could get at home that you
did not feel that you were retarding
the growth of your city by injuring
the business of its citizens?
1t saves little, if anything, to send
your orders away, or to buy your sup
plies away from home. Such a sys-
tenn indirectly hurts you, no matter
who you are. And II works direct
harm to your fellow citizens, who have
taxes to pay, rent to pay, employees
to pay, and other charges to meet.
This applies to all lines of business,
but in this special advertisement it is
intended to refer to the thousands of
dollars worth of printing, Autograph
ing and blank book work which is
sent away every month by Savannah
business houses.
Think of it!
Thousands of dollars worth going
to other printing houses in other cities
when there are more than a dozen
good ones here. able to do much more
work than they are doing If they had
it to do.
The more work these concerns have
to do the more people they have to
employ. and these people, as a matter
of course, become buyers. They be-
come customers of the shoe houses.
the dry goods houses, the grocery
houses, the drug houses, and. indeed,
about all lines of business feel the
impetus which increased buyers give.
The Morning News printing, litho-
graphing, blank book and bindery is
one of the best in the country. 1t has
a Autograph plant sufficiently large to
handle all of the work in Savannah.
And it will do it as well and as rea-
sonable as any reputable concern in
the United States.
The Morning News has striven to
give Savannah home plant. The
class of work turned out by it speaks
for itself.
If it is satisfactory, there is no real
reason why any of this work should
find it's way to other cities. None
whatever.
Should business men encourage It?

IN HONOR OF GREENE
MILITARY AGREED To PARADE IN

INVITATION WAS ACCEPTED
WHEN PRESENTED TO COMMANDS

Field Expresses Rhode Islands
Appreciation of the Opportunity
to Pay This Tribute to the Memory
of One of Her NObIest Sons.
Invitations from the Association of
Patriotic Societies to participate in the
ceremonies incident to the reinterment
of the remains of Gen. Nathaniel
Greene on Nov. IA, were received last
night by the companies of the First
Regiment, Infantry, and the Savannah
Volunteer Guards. All of the COM
panies agreed to parade. and the COM
handing officers of the regiment and
the battalion, respectively, will so no.
tify Gen. w. w. Gordon, the president
of the association.
The acceptance of the Guards was
conditional. The officers decided that
they could not make an appeal to the
employers of the members of their
companies to permit them leave from
their duties. 1t was therefore deter
mined to inform the association that it
would have to see to getting the MEM
bers released for the afternoon by their
employers.
Participation in the parade by all
the commands will mean quite dis
play. 1t is thought that employers will
offer no obstacle in the men joining
with their companies for the afternoon.
1t is clear from the correspondence
of Mr.. r. T. Waller, secretary of the
association, that there will be a large
attendance of distinguished men upon
the occasion of the burial of the re-
mains. The following letter, showing
that the Governor of Rhode Island,
Charles Dean Kimball, and the mem
bers of the joint special committee of
the general assembly to take into con-
sideration the permanent location of
the remains of Gen. Nathaniel Greene,
will attend, has been received:
Robert Tyler Waller, Esq, Secre-
tary, etc. My dear Sir:
1.-The Joint special committee of the
general assembly to take into con-
sideration the permanent location of
remains of Gen. Nathaniel Greene
acknowledges the receipt of the invita-
ton to be present at the ceremonies at
tending the refinement of the remains
of Gen. Nathaniel Greene in the city
of Savannah on Nov. IA, next.
Rhode Island appreciates this OPP
portunity of paying her tribute of re-
spect to the memory of one of her sons,
who won imperishable renown at a
critical period in our nations history,
and will express that appreciation by
the presence on that occasion of the
Governor and the special committee APP
pointed by the Legislature to represent
the state when these solemn ceremonies
take place.

invitation, have the honor to remain,

The Governors of Georgia, North
and South Carolina and the speaker
of the House Of Representatives and
the president of the Senate of Georgia
have been invited and it is expected
that they will all attend.

MANAGEMENT WAS BAD.
So Reports Receiver of Local Lodge
of knights of Golden Eagle.

So Reports Receiver of Local Lodge
of knights of Golden Eagle.
The preliminary report of William
L. Gignilliat, receiver of Georgia Cas-
tie No. IL Knights of the Golden Eagle,
was filed yesterday in the office of
the clerk of the Superior Court. The
receiver shows to the court that the
affairs of the order are in quite an en-
tangled state and asks it's direction in
the premises.
The receiver reports that there is on
deposit $22434. which amount is adj
mitted by the Keeper Of the Exchequer,
but AYERS that whether this is the
total amount which should come into
his hands depends on the validity of
certain payments made without being
sanctioned by q meeting at which
there was a quota present, and upon
other Irregularities in the financial
management which he is not sufficient
ly informed about to make a proper
report upon as yet.
The assets of the lodge consist of
an organ, three boxes of paraphernalia
and the minute books and ledgers. The
receiver reports that he has been in
formed that the court will be re-
quested to award this property, and
the funds which he has in hand, to
the supreme lodge of the order. of
which Number II is but a subordinate
part. If the matter takes this course.
he submits, further examination into
the financial management, and other
Investigations will become necessary
as a feature of the litigation.
This work. he AYERS, would require
a great deal of time and would in
volve extra compensation to the re-
ceiver, wherefore he reports the mat
ter to the court and asks it's direction.
