GRAND Jary IN Bonrouin tS>e.
The in sesugatio- b.. ne grand Itly
tomorrow morning OF the murder Of
Gugie Bourquin and Fred Taylor on
the Dean Forest road, nearly two
weeks ago, will probably last long
while. Subpoenas were made out yes
teTday for fifty-five witnesses, and If
all of that number are examined, it is
probable that two sessions will have
TO be held
The county Officers who were en-
gagged in the work Of solving the mys-
terry Of the ira gedy examined more
than a hundred persons during their
investigation. Just ffty-five of those
examined are supposed individually to
be able to give information that might
lead to the fixing of the guilt.
William ]. Potter and Swayne Pot
ter, for whom warrants were issued
in connection with the homicide. have
been subpoenaed as witnesses. They
will be called upon to tell the grand
jury all they know in connection with
the crime ]. II. Bedford. Mrs. j. H.
Bedford, George Bedford and Henry
Bedford are also under subpoena. Pot
ter and his son were at the Bedford
day the tragedy occurred.
Among the other witnesses who will
appear before the grand jury will be
a man named John Sapp. Joe Miller,
the negro who has made several con-
fessions relative to the homicide, none
of which are Believed, stated to the
officers that the Sapp under subpoena
is not the man he refers to in his con-
LESSONS, and Sapp is not in any way

Deputy Sheriffs Charles Westcott and
Edward O'Connor, who have devoted
all of their time to the working up of
the case, will also testify. In their
search for reliable information they
travelled more than a hundred miles.
The preacher Jim Curry, who must
have passed Bourquin very shortly af
ter he had been shot will also testify
Curry saw Bourquin in the buggy af-
ter he was dead, but thought that
some negro had dropped to sleep and
had no idea that a crime had been

number of negroes will be used as wit
nesses and the majority of them are
scattered along the Dean Forest road
The subpoenas for those witnesses
who live in the country will be taken
out this morning by Deputies O'Con-
nor and Westcott
The escaped convict Joe Miller will
not be used as a witness before the
grand Jury, and hypnOtiSm will play
no part in the investigation. Miller has
been discarded as liar SO stupendous
that not a single utterance of his can
be relied upon. Yesterday morning this
prisoner was committed to jail on three
warrants from Police Court He is

BACK FROM THE ORIENT.
Sergeant Frank NJ. Patton Tells Of
Life in the Philippines.


Mr.. Frank M. Patton, a native of
Savannah, hut who for the last three
years has been in the United States
army, serving with the cavalry branch
both in Cuba and in the Philippines,
returned home yesterday and expects
to remain here.
Mr.. Patton, when he Joined the serv-
ice, was assigned to Troop M, Eighth
Regiment, and with that command
went to Cuba, but the following year
went to the Philippines, where he
served in the Fourth Cavalry, a COM
mand in which he rose to the rank of
sergeant. He liked the service, but
as he had been away from home for
so long a time, when his enlistment
expired, he decided to return to this
country.
The account Mr.. Patton gives of
conditions in the Philippines is prac-
tically the same as that received from
time to time from other sources: that
the islands are still in an unsettled
condition; that there is still a good
deal of bushwhacking going on. and
that so soon as the troops get the
rebels in close quarters the natives
suddenly change from soldiers to civil
ians, in which role they continue until
there is another opportunity for them
to resume hostilities with. some degree
of safety to themselves.
The climate, from Mr.. Patton's
statement has been much maligned.
OF course there is much sickness. he
says, but it is among the men who
are incorporate in their habits, es-
pecially among those who have taken
too kindly to the native beverage
"bino.' The returned trooper served
both in Manila and in Northern Luz
zon, and says he was never sick a
day.

tainment by the Kindergarten Auxil-
larry of St. Johns Sunday-school in
Parish Hall yesterday afternoon and

noon and evening was very good in
deed, and the patronage of the various
booths and the supper room was quite
liberal.
The entertainment, as might be
judged from it's title, was intended to
represent a scene in Japan, and so the
decorations of the hall, which we're I'M
usually elaborate and pretty, were all
in keeping with this character. Es-
pecially pretty was the Tea House
Garden" formed of the large plat
form, the sides of which were partly
hidden by trellis work over which ran
a profusion of wisteria vines in full
bloom.

IN HONOR OF J. {. WAY.
Memorial Services We're Held in the
Masrfe School Yesterday.

Memorial Services We're Held in the
Massie School Yesterday.
A memorial service in honor of the
late j. E. Way. former principal of
the Massie School, was held in that
building yesterday morning. The oc-
casion was the hanging, in the prinoir
pals room, of a, large picture of Mr.
Way, which has recently been receiv
ed and which was secured through a
subscription of the pupils of the school
Besides the present principal of the
school, Mr.. G. j. Orr, and the teachers
and pupils of the upper grades and
some twelve pupils of the High School,
pupils of Mr.. Way at the time of his
death, there were only a few persons
present. These were some of the close
friends of the dead principal, Col
George A. Mercer, president of the
Board of Education; Mr. J. r. Saus-
sy and Mr.. r. J. Davant of the same
board and Mr.. Otis Ashmore, super
intendent of public schools.
The services, which were begun at
10 o'clock and lasted three-quarters of
an hour, were begun by Mr.. Orr, who
told of the reason of the meeting, the
receipt of the picture, and of how 1t
had been secured, and then intro
duced Col Mercer. That gentleman
spoke for about fifteen minutes. His
eulogy was splendid tribute to Mr..
Ways many qualities as a man and a
teacher.
He was followed in a short address
by Mr.. Saussy, who spoke not only of
Mr.. Ways fine work as a teacher and
of his character, but told also some
thing of his record during the Civil
War, which, the speaker said was a
fine one. Mr.. Ashmore also made a
short address, as did. likewise, Mr..
Davant.
At the close of the services the
classes returned to their routine work
In one of the addresses 1t was stated
that Mr.. Way had been connected with
the Savannah public school system for
thirty-five years, during twenty-seven
of which he held the position of prin-
cipal of the Massie School.

MONKEY BIT MAN.

Victim Got Even and Had Owner
Arrested for DisorderIy Conduct.
On the unique charge of having been
guilty of disorder by making his pet
monkey bite Alex Walton of No. G25
Walker street, j. C. Ketehup, colored,
was arrested yesterday morning by
Central Patrolman Lakewood. ,.-
The. complainant charges that Ketch-
up displayed a wanton disregard for
his feelings, and without any rhyme
or reason made the monkey use his
teeth. Walton was probably more
frightened than hurt. He made a
straight line for the nearest officer
and demanded justice. Ketchup's ar
rest and. the docketing of the unique
charge followed. The prisoner will be
arraigned before Recorder Myrick In
Police Court this morning and the
hearing promises to be amusing.

FEWER WILL SELL BEVERAGE.
Not So Many Dealers Will Handle
Coca Cola and Cigarettes.

0oCa ahu
With an increase in the tax on both
the manufacture and sale of coco-cola
and at the same time a jump in the
cigarette tax the man who takes these
forms of indulgence is getting wor-
ried.
The Ways and Means Committee of
the General Assembly has taken hold
of both coco-cola and cigarettes and
inserted them in the general tax bill
so that it will cost quite a little more
to sell the beverage and the smoking
material.
For coco-cola the manufacturer must
pay $780, the wholesaler 5000 and the
retailer $40 a year. The tax on cigar
cites was raised to $25, and 1T was
stipulated that this amount must be
paid by everyone who even keeps
cigarette papers to give to customers.
These restrictions, as they might be
termed, will probably result in fewer
dealers handling coca-cola and cigar
cites when the time rolls around for
them to pay up.
