YEAR WITH POLICE.
Annual Report when Finished VIII
show Fewer Arrests.

SNOW fSWeF AfreStS.
The annual report of Superintendent
of Police owen Reilly will show that
very nearly $500 arrests were made
during 1901 and that about s27 900 worth
of stolen property was recovered. The
report has not been completed, nor will
IL be until tomorrow, but the figures
given are a very close estimate.
Both the number of arrests made
and the amount of stolen property re-
covered falls short of the figures for
1900. but Superintendent Reilly is well
pleased with the work done by the men
under him. The city detectives made
over 400 arrests during the year. and
while not as many as made during the
previous year the figures are consid-
cred altogether satisfactory.
The police clerk has been working on
the figures for some time. but win be
unable to complete the tables before
tomorrow. 1t is probable that atten-
ton will he called to the number of
men who were injured while on duty
during the year. Thirteen patrolmen
were unfortunate enough to be injured
while on duty. Three hundred DAYS
were lost from this cause.
The list starts with the murder OF
Patrolman Harry b. Fender on Feb 10
The mounted men suffered most, al
though several footmen were injured
while performing duty. Quartermaster
Jack Arnold was laid up for quito
awhile as the result OF lunatic's bite
Mounted Patrolman T. G. Murphy Is
also In the list OF sufferers. Murphy
was knocked from his horse by the
branch OF tree while chasing an es-
capped convict In Cuyler swamp. other
officers suffered from falls and from
blows Inflicted by unruly prisoners.

RECEPTION FOR SCHLEY.
Alderman Dixon Wants One at City
Exchange for the Admiral.

Alderman DIXON wants one at C1ty
Exchange for the Admiral.
Admiral Schley the hero of
Santiago, viii probably be given a
public reception when he comes to Sa-
vannah next week to visit Gen. w. w.
Gordon. Alderman James NJ. Dixon is
in favor Of the city rendering recep-
ton to the Admiral and the matter
will be taken up at once.
Alderman Dixon is one of the Ad-
IniraFs admirers, and says that the
municipality should pay a fitting trib-
ute to the naval hero when ne reaches
here. Alderman Dixon's idea is to hold
the reception at the City Exchange
and to have the Mayor and Council
receive Admiral Schley with open arms,
and surrender to him the keys of the
city.
Public sympathy in Savannah is with
the man whom Dewey has crowned the
victor of the Santiago naval fight, and
Alderman Dixon believes that a public
reception would be a popular way of
receiving such a distinguished and
honored guest. The alderman saws
that while the majority of the people
have looked up to Schley since his
great naval achievement on that menu
orable July day, during the session of
the board of inquiry and since the find
ing of the court, he has been considered
more OF hero than ever.
There are few people in Savannah
whose sympathies are not entirely with
him, and who do not think that he has
been badly treated after winning a
naval engagement equalled only by
that of Dewey in Manila BAY. For
this reason Alderman Dixon is sure the
visiting hero will receive a glorious
ovation. The question of a reception
at the City Exchange will be brought
up at once by Alderman Dixon, and a
special meeting of Council will proba,-
bly, be held for the purpose of arrang-
ing an appropriate programme.

COURT UNDER RECESS.
Adjourns Until Monday i'm Respect
to Judge FaIIigant.

In respect to Judge Robert Falligant
the court over which he presides has
taken a recess until Jan. 10. Such an
order was passed by Judge Seabrook
yesterday, when the court convened for
the daily session.
Mr.. S. b. Adams reminded the pre-
siding judge that the loved and hon
ored jurist whose place Judge Seabroo<
is now filling was lying at the point
of death and that this end was almost
momentarily expected. Mr. Adams
thought 1t but proper that the court
should be placed under recess.
The order was Immediately passed.

DIRECT TO CITY TREASURY.
Went the Receipts From Property
Sales During 1901.

A change in the method of account
ing the sales of property made by the
city marshal was accountable for the
falling off in the business of his office
during 1901, as against 1900. Until
last year the money accruing from the
sales passed through the marshars
hands but this plan did not operate
last year, so that the aggregate sum
of $6,O6S.01, received from sales by the
city treasurer, represents business
that he did, but which does not show
in the total of collections made. Had
the property sales been included. there
would have been a decided increase in
receipts of 1901 over those of 1900.

JACK DEEGAN WORSE.
Suffering with High Fever and Is
DeIfriOus

Jack Deegan, who was shot last week
by w. H. Dortic, took a change for
the worse yesterday morning and his
condition is regarded as critical. The
wounded man suffered with a high
fever during the day and was delir-
ious.
At an early hour this morning Dee
gan was alive. but it is not believed
that he Will recover. The bullet from
Dortic's revolver entered at the right
shoulder and lodged in the left lung.
For several days Deegan's condition
was encouraging and he had a splen-
did chance for recovery.
w. I. kavanaugh, VINO was accident
ally shot through the head at the same
time, is resting quietly at the same
hospital, and he will probably recover.
Deegan is well known in sporting cir
cles and was of rather quiet disposi-
ton when not drinking.

The body of a man supposed to be Peter

bridge by Mrs. James Scott and two small
boys, Jesse Beasley and Albert Frickey
while picking up coal.
Mrs. Scott and the boys, all OF whom live
at Thirty-ffth street and Seventh avenue.
were gathering coal at the bottom OF the
dump near the east end OF the bridge when
they noticed the form of a man lying half
way UP the embankment. To their horror
and fright they discovered the man was
dead and as the body was frozen stiff had
evidently been SO for a day or more. They
at once notified the police, who in turn no.
tilted Coroner Treynor and he instructed
Undertaken Cutler to taxi charge of the
rooms.
There were no marks of violence on the
body and from the position of the body 1t
looked ss IL the man had expired while
attempting to climb up the ~embankment.
He was lying on his face with his head
pointing to the top Of the dump. His
clothes indicated he belonged to the labor
ing class and he appeared to be about mid
die aged.

among some other papers in the dead mans

Two rounds but after that rangers stiff
pody blows began to tell and a Knockout
seemed a possibility at any moment, Lenny
was decidedly weak In the fourth round

preak his hold. Lenny was tottering as
the round ended. He was in a bad way
through the NTH round, but avoided a
knockout by constant clinching and hold
ing. In the last round Yanger knocked
Lenny through the ropes. After helping
him back into the ring Yanger tried to
hnish him., but the eastern boy fell into a.
cinch and hung on until he had recovered
sufficiently to dance out of reach. Lenny
was barely able to stand when the contest
ended.
