GOT HIMSELF ARRESTED.
Fruit stand Robbers Foolish Trick
Landed Him in Jail.

Alexander Hamilton, after rif1ing
cash-drawer of $40 and purloinins all
of the vegetables that he could con-
ceniently carry away from the stand of
John Leopold, at Randolph and Clay
ton streets last night, inadvertently
had himself arrested by officer With
ington. The officer pursued the thief
at double quick time for more than
block and was finally compelled to fire
his pisto! before he was able to halt
the fleeing offender.
Had Alexander not busted himself to
see that he was not arrested, he would
probably be free to-day. A call was
received last night for a policeman to
come at once to the fruit vendors
stand. Officers Miller and Wilmington
went out in the patrol wagon. A sus-
picious looking negro in the vicinity of
the fruit stand was arrested and placed
in the wagon, though he protested his
innocence loudly. Officer Miller ac-
companied the prisoner to the bar
racks. while Wilmington walked. AS
the latter officer passed a stoop,
"a negro, who evidently thought
that he had been discov-
cred, stepped from behind the stoop
and informed the officer that he had
heard of a robbery in the neighbour
hood and could take the officer to the
house Of the thief.
The officer thought that the negro
was telling the truth. and started to
go with him. Scarcely had they gone
ten feet before the negro broke from
the officer and began a most remark
able running stunt. The officer called
to him to stop. and this being of no
avail, pulled his pistol and fired. The
darkey fell as if he had been shot
and began to cry for help. He was
promptly taken in tow by Wilmington
and carried to the barracks. Here he
confronted the first suspect, who i'm
mediately said that Withingtons
catch was the thief.
Both negroes were taken back to
the fruit stand for identification by
the fruit dealer. He at once pointed
to the negro whom Wilmington had
caught. saying that he knew him to
be the thief. The first prisoner was
released and the other. a negro named
Alex Hamilton, was taken back to the
barracks, where the charge was en-
tered against him.

of Sava ahah, who is now in Rome on
a decennfal visit to the Pope. in a letter
to Rev. Father P. A. Halpin, outlines
an interesting itinerary that he pur-
poses making after he leaves the Holy
City. The letter was written in Lon
don under date of July %, the eve of
the bishops departure for Rome.
This trip was made via Paris, where
two days were spent, to Lourdes. where
it was the travellers intention of
spending ten days, thence to Genoa,
Pisa and Rome, a short stay in Genoa
being contemplated and the stay in
Rome intended to be but ten days.

FOR WEST INDIAN TRADE.
Gen. Gordon Hopes That Savan-
nathan May Investigate.

Gen. w. w. Gordon hopes that the
City Council, the Savannah Board of
Trade or the Savannah Cotton Elk
change may take up the matter of the
proposed trip to Costa Rica and West
Indian ports and name a representa-
tive for Savannah The plan of the
excursion was set forth by the Morn
ing News yesterday, letter having
been received by Gen. Gordon from Mr.
John H. Averill of Charleston, who is
anxious that Savannah name a repre-
sentative.
Il think an excellent opportunity is
afforded for an insight to be gained
into the trade conditions of the West
Indies" said Gen. Gordon. "A report
from Savannah business man, who
might make careful personal inves
tigation, might be of great advantage
in the launching of an enterprise for
the promotion of trade between Sa-
vannah and the West Indies. The
time is ripe for Savannah to lay hold
upon this opportunity. A profitable
business could be built up, and 1
should delight to see it,"
Gen. Gordon holds to the view that
the greatness of Savannah as a ma
val stores and lumber port is bound
to pass in the natural course, with the
depletion of the great pine forests.
Something must take the place of the
pine industry in it's commerce, and
nothing appeals to Gen. Gordon as
more promising than this West Indian
trade, which needs only a hand ex-
tended to he secure.

REGULARS AS PISTOL SHOTS.
Fort screven Garrison VIII Have IL

There is now no doubt of the fact
that Fort Screven will have revolver
team entered in the interstate shoot.
Capt. Cruikshank said that the men
intended to devote much time during
the next two weeks to pistol practice,
and when the time for the meet ar
rives he believes that a very creditable
team can be selected
The soldiers have been handicapped
materially by the loss of their two
best shots. DR.. Hicks, who made some
splendid scores at the Saturday after
noon practice at Avondale, will not
be in the city during the meet, and
Private Bryce, who was considered about
the best revolver shot in the garrison.

army. Capt Cruikshank is the only
man in their class who is left. Sew
eral of the officers have shown skill at
the recent practices, and with little
practice Will be able to make excellent
scores.
The team will be composed, for the
most part, of commissioned officers.
though, of course, where a non-com-
missioned shows sufficient ability, he
will be put on the team.

Captain wood VIII Have Talk
With the Acting Mayor To-day.
The Salvation Army held forth as
usual yesterday afternoon. "Open-
airs" were held at the corner of Bar
nard and Broughton streets and at
Bay and Houston streets. 1t happened,
however, that the elements had con-
spired against them, for late in the
afternoon a heavy downpour of rain
made them gather up their drums and
stringed instruments and seek shell
ter.
Miss Capt. Wood will go to-day, in
company with the chief of police, to
see the Mayor protein. At the con-
ference, which will be held at the City
Exchange at l o'clock, matters will
be brought to a focus between the
army and the police, so that in the
future it will not become necessary
to arrest the Salvationists in order to
impress upon them the fact that the
Mayor protein. can, at any time in his
discretion, give orders for their re-
moval from place to place or from the
streets altogether.

TO JOIN THE NAVY.
Ensign Hanahan Will Recruit in
Savannah This Week.

savannah This Week.
An exceptional opportunity of join
ing the navy is offered by the govern
ment just now. The building of new
vessels of war has caused many adj
ditional seamen and other officers nes-
sary, and these the government is en-
deavoring to get as rapidly as posi-
BILE.
Ensign Hanahan, who has come to
Savannah for the purpose of recruit
ing, will open his recruiting office in
the Postoffice building to-day. He
will remain here until Saturday, and
during that time it is expected that
he will get a great number of recruits.
Not alone are seamen and landsmen
wanted, hut bakers, boilermakers, ma
chinists, hospital aids and many other
classes of men who will be paid sal
aries ranging from 50 to SOS.
Savannah is a particularly good To-
cality in which to do recruiting for
the navy. Being a seaport town, there
are always a large number of men
who are in quest of positions on boats;
and there are also a great many men
of experience who are willing, with
the opportunities offered, to enlist in
the navy
When Ensign Hanahan was here last
he succeeded in enlisting a much larg-
er number than in the city in this
section of the country. The notices
posted about town have attracted at
tentiOn, and talk of joining the navy
can be heard almost anywhere along
the water front. 1t is said that the OPP
portunity for advancement is greater
now than before, for in addition to the
new fighting crafts just finished by the
government, there are quite a number
now in process of construction.
DR.. j. e. Page, a physician in the
United States navy, has arrived, and
will conduct the physical examination
of applicants.

the Superior Court. Cicero Watson is
to be tried to-day, Ed Rivers to-mor-

Ed Rivers is a negro boy who killed
his brother, Son Rivers, in a house
near Houston street and Oglethorpe
lane. Rivers stabbed his brother to
the heart with a knife, and though
the injured boy survived a few hours,
he never recovered sufficiently to give
his version of the homicide.
The defendant contends that two
quarrels between his brother and him.
self had taken place during the day,
in which the dead boy was the ag-
gressor. He claims he was trying to
escape from the last of these when
Son came up behind him, and was
about to strike him in the head with
a beer bottle when he used his knife.

Marine Hospital Plan Not Likely to

BE Interfered With.
The dispatch from Washington in
the Morning News yesterday, showing
that the matter of the establishment
of the proposed Marine Hospital at Sa-
vannah has been deld up, pending the
meeting of the Georgia Legislature and
the passage of a cession act, was no
surprise to Savannahians who have
been looking for some development to
fellow the passage of the bill by Con-
gress and the announcement that an
appropriation was available for the
work.
Some weeks ago there was a repre-
sentative of the Marine Hospital Serv-
ice here, but he worked very quietly.
He merely had a look at the York
Abercorn property, decided that it was
well located and returned to Washing
ton.
There is no doubt of course, that the
Legislature will pass the cession act
as soon as it is presented and the work
can then go on.

TO ANSWER FOR ROBBERY.
Cupid Bentley Made Charges which
He May Not Prove

On charge of having robbed Cupid
bentley, Paul Green, colored, was ar
rested last night. Bentley who was
drunk at the time that the arrest was
made, told so many conflicting stories
that the police became suspicious, and
arrested one Julia Jones, who claimed
to know the negro who really did do
the stealing.
While on the way to the station in
the patrol wagon, Bentley told the Of
fcer that he had been robbed at the
Toint of a pistol, but on reaching the
barracks, told the sergeant on duty
that he had been robbed while he was
asleep. The woman's version of the af-
fair is entirely different. She says that
the money was stolen from Bentley
by man who runs a policy shop.
The trio will be brought before the
Recorder this. morning and an effort
will be made to ascertain which of the
stories is the nearest true.

was refused by Mr.. owens. The offer
to compromise made by Mrs. FerrilTs
attorney was coupled, however, with
the statement that he did not consider
Mr.. Owens entitled to any fees, but
the payment would be made rather

There was a large crowd of specta-

acrobatic stunts, made a clever and

bag, relieved of the aeronaut's weight,
under the drag of the sang bag toppled
over after it had gone some sixty or
seventy feet, and came down in the
top of small pine. There was the
usual large crowd of people standing
near, and when the bag turned over
they made a wild scramble for places
