BANKERS ENDORSE SAVANNAH.
ihey Seem to BE Unit to Have the
Sub-Treasury Here

From the bankers of Georgia, South
Carolina, Florida and Alabama ndorse
ments of the bill for the establishment
of sub-treasury of the United States
at Savannah are flooding Mr.. Mills B.
Lane, president of the Savannah Clear
ing Association. He finds that there
Is general sentiment throughout this
territory for Savannah, as against At
lanta, and it would seem that it would
be difficult matter for Congress to
settle on Atlanta as the place for the
establishment of the sub treasury
Mr.. Lanes mail yesterday was heavy
with letters from bankers, whom he
had written to ascertain their views.
They were unanimous in the expression
of the wish that Savannah might get
the institution, as their writer's consid-
cred this city entitled to it through its
commercial Importance and geographic
cal location.
1t was but natural that such indorse-
ment should come from the bankers, for
at meeting of the Georgia Bankers
Association some two years ago, there
was a resolution adopted, calling for
the establishment of a sub treasury at
Savannah. This resolution was passed
unanimously.

FIRE IN A ROOF.

small Damage Done at the Resi-
dence of Capt. j. c. POsteH
There was considerable excitement in
the neighborhood of Drayton and Thir-
ty-first streets yesterday morning, when
it was discovered that the residence of
Capt. j. C. Postell was afire, with
dense columns of smoke pouring SEEM
ingly from half dozen places in the
roof
A little girl trotted around to No. 5
engine house, on Henry street, and no
titled the foreman there of the fire and
its apparent serious character. The
chemical engine was at once dispatched
to the scene and a telephone call sent
in for the rest of the apparatus in the
southern section of the department
The fire was discovered in the walls
of the second story of the residence to
which it had communicated from a flue
which carried the smoke from the
range in the kitchen. The smoke was
being forced out between the walls and
the roof of the building. and the fire
appeared to be more dangerous than ii
really was. A portion of the wall of
one of the rooms had to be torn away
in order to get at the source of the
flames and smoke, but this was the
most serious damage done. The chem
zeal engine sufficed to eXtinguish the
blaze. The damage done will probably
not exceed $780,

CHRlST'S REGAL GLORY.
Rev. DIR. Fairs Sermon at Independ-
ent Presbyterian Church.


ent Presbyterian Church.
Rev. DR.. Fair preached at the Inde-
pendent Presbyterian Church last
night on the Regal Glory of Christ"
His text was Psalm 72:11: IAN kings
shall fall down before Him" DR.. Fair
said the prediction was most extra
ordinary one, and at the time of it's
utterance there seemed not the slight
est probability of it's fNlfllment It
was daring spirit of prophecy. to fore
cast the actions of future generations
and one thousand years before Christ
was born declare that the mightiest
kings of different ages and nations
would acknowledge the superior roy
atty of peasant who was crucified.
whose only crown was made of thorns
and whose only sceptre vas reed
mockery placed in His hand. Has the
prediction been fulfilled?
Or. Fair cited illustrations
of the greatest kings of
history who acknowledged Christ.
David, Constantine the Great, Charlie
magne, Cornwall, Napoleon, and 9TH
ers. But" he said, 1.-THE text is not to
be restricted to literal kings. There
are other Kingdoms than territorial,
other monarchs than those who wear
visible and material crowns. We turn
to the great realm of science, it's
throned and sceptred kings. Who is
the first that towers up? The world
answers, Sir Isaac Newton. Yes, a
King, indeed, crowned with a brighter
diadem than a literal monarch, hand
that snapped the letters of human
thought, a mind that roamed the in
finite expanse, traced the invisible
laws that bind the universe together, a
man whose soul as we'll as whose mind
dwelt amid the stars yet falling down
before Christ" Other names We're cited
from the great leaders of science, Cali
leo, kepler, Herschel. Agassiz, and
Faraday. From the wide and magnifii-
cent realm of the law. such names were
cited as Lord Bacon, Sir Matthew Hale,
Blackstone, John Marshall John c.
Calhoun and Daniel Webster. From the
wonderful world of poetry. Shake
speare, Milton, Dante, Tasso, Gothic,
and the poet king of our own day,
whose laureate crown is still wet with
the worlds tears, Alfred Tennyson."
In conclusion DR.. Fair said that hui
man testimony. even from the greatest
cannot add to the truth of God, but"
he added, when we see how the
strongest felt their need of Christ and
We're helped by Him. does it not
strengthen our faith and comfort US?
If He could carry them with their
great burdens, can He not hear us and
our little lives? If He could meet the
wants of their great intellects and feed
the hunger of their souls, can He not
supply our needs? Let US cling closely
to Him. We may not be able to bring
Him a crown of royalty or genius or
wealth. but We can bring a crown OF
love no less acceptable to His loving
heart"
At the morning service, the collection
was for foreign missions and DR. Fair
preached on that subject.
The music at each service was espe-
cially fine. The choir, under the direc-
ton of the new organist, Prof. VIE
gand, maintains fully its former high
standard Of excellence.
DR.. Fair goes Tuesday to Blackshear
to deliver a lecture before the Lyceum
on the Age of Constantine the
Great"

EXPECTS SAM JONES.

MIR. Anthony Says He'll Be Here
when Election Time Rolls Round
Rev. Bascom Anthony says he in
tends to impress upon the minds of his
fellow members of the Ministerial AS
sociation the need to secure the services
of Rev. Sam Jones in Savannah, about
the time of the next city election. The
matter will be discussed at the meet
ing of the Ministerial Association that
will be held to-day.
II have no doubt that the preachers
will agree with me, and that Mr., Jones
will come" said Mr. Anthony. They
may say what they please, everybody
knows that the need for his presence
here arises from the condition of the
city's morals. and the fact that law is
openly and flagrantly violated. If ne is
to come when he is needed and when he
can accomplish the great est good, IL
must be when the city is to decide who
shall manage its affairs and enforce
the law.
81 don't care anything about men or
factions-one crowd looks like the other
to me. All l ask is that some one shall
be put in Office who win enforce the
law and stand in his public character

NOT ALL FROM CHATHAM.
During Last Year 2,015 Jail Prison
crS Were Cared for.

A report showing what was done IN
the way of caring for prisoners in the
county Jail during the past year has
been compiled by Tailor Arnold Sey-
den. The report is an exhaustive one,
and contains information that will be
filed with Sheriff Schwarz.
The report shows that 2,915 prisoners
were received during the year. OF
that number 2,795 were charged with
crime in this county, 80 were lunatics,
3S were United States prisoners and
Al were seamen, and from other coun-
ties and states. There We're in the
custody of the jailor 544 white males
"A white females, ,6lS colored males
and 679 colored females. The average
number of inmates daily was 9SA-
OF those in custody 1.190 were charged
with misdemeanors. 1853 with felonies'
and 1.462 were committed from Police
Court for violations of the city ordl-
nances On Jan. l. 1901, there were
IL persons in Jail charged with muir
der and "a were received during the
year. making total Of 40. or the
total II were from other counties held
for safe keeping. There was only one
execution during the year. George
Mitchell, alias Joe Grant, was the
the victim. He was hanged on Aug.
for committing criminal assaults upon
two negro woven on HutchiSon's ISL
and. Mitchell confessed his crime be
fore the black cap was adjusted.
-Thirty-one prisoners were sent to the
peEitentiary, 543 to the Chain-gang and
poor farm, to the hospital and 2 died
while under treatment OF persons
charged with lunacy 10 We're sent to
ha Of ATalIaAnavrfl1a
discharged, one was sent to the hospi-
tai and six died. In his report Jailor
Seyden calls attention to the large
death rate in the lunatic asylum. He
accounts for the showing with the
statement that frequently warrants for
lunacy are sworn out when the accused
are really only sick or infirm. This is
done by relatives of the unfortunates,
or others, in order to get the afflicted
off their hands. The .jailor calls atten-
ton to the burden that the county is
forced to shoulder and explains that
the death list would not be so LARGE
If persons who are i'll or aged are sent
to a hospital in place of to Jail on a
charge of lunacy.
An interesting feature of the report
is that showing the amount of food
consumed by the prisoners during the
year. Among other things 81, 760 loaves
of bread, 25,99O pounds of beef and ba-
con, 1,200 pounds of rice. 1900 pounds
of coffee, and 1000 pounds of sugar
was used. The unfortunates were also
furnished with corn meal, peas and
vegetables, most of which was received
from the poor farm. The prisoners were
daily attended by County Physician ].
q. Keller, and a large quantity of
medicine is kept on hand for all man
ner of ailments. In his report Tailor
Seyden makes no recommendations be-
yond calling attention to the fact of
sick persons being confined as luna
tics.

Charles Glover, a negro laborer, was
shot in the right shoulder by an I'M

taken to the Georgia Infirmary in the
police ambulance yesterday morning.
The bullet passed through the fleshy
part of his shoulder. and the wounded

during the day.
The shooting was reported at police
headquarters and the city detectives
went to the mills west of the city with
the ambulance. They were unable
to secure any information as to the
identity of the man who fired the shot
that winged Glover. He had not been
engaged in a dispute with anybody,
and was wounded accidentally. This
fact was assured by the officers who
conducted the investigation. The de-
tectives learned that two unknown ne
groes had been engaged in a fight, and
that one of them fired a revolver. the
bullet probably entering Glover's Shout
