MACON POLICE WANT ELDER.
Is Now in Jail Here for Robbing
Huxford PostOHce.

Jonas Elder, the negro who last Fri
day was sent to the county Jail here.
in default of $500 bail, by United States
Commissioner Johnson of Valdosta, for
breaking into the postoffice at Huxford
has a criminal record. which proves
that he is wanted badly by the police
in several cities throughout the state.
Detective T. Hewitt of this city has
made an investigation of Elders rec
ord, and finds that the police of Ma
con want him for burglarizing a store
and for robbing a car at that place.
At the present time Elder is said to
be wearing clothing which he stole
from a car in Macon. When he was
arrested the negro wore two pins of
the order of Elks. These were also
stolen at Macon.
Elder was seen with another negro
coming from. a store he broke into at
Macon, and was pursued, but both he
and his companion escaped.
In robbingg the car Elder secured 4
large quantity of clothing. He sold
large part of the spoils and gave
the remainder to negroes in Macon.
1t is believed that when the authori-
ties get through with Elder for rob-
bling the postoffice at Huxford he will
be turned over to the Macon police.
Elder has been operating in and
around Macon for a long time, and
although the police have been hot on
his trail, he succeeded in eluding ar
rest until caught for the postoffice
burglary

OVATION FOR THE TEAM.
savannah Cadets Hailed Private
Travis with Applause.

Travis with Applause.
The Savannah Cadets gave their re-
turned rifle team an ovation at the
company meeting last night. The Ca
diets did not seem to feel at all ag-
grieved because the Albany Guards
won the company match, but found
consolation in the fact that the high
est individual scores were made by
their men who shot in the regimental
match. Private r. j. Travis was hail
ed with applause when he entered the
cCmpany's quarters.
The Cadets and the Oglethorpes fur
nished seven of the ten men of the
regimental team, which won the regi-
mental shoot. Sergt. Bourquin of the
Cglethorpes did good shooting, and
Private Gresham of the Burke Light
Infantry did well, although a green
man. With training, he would make an
excellent shot.
Private A. y. Kent Of the Ogle-
thorpes had hard luck on the skirmish
run in the company match. He did not
make a hit, but, on the contrary, sus-
tanned a sunstroke. Doctors worked on
him for three hours before they
brought him around
The returned marksmen seem to
think that there will be number of
teams sent to Savannah if the inter-
state shoot is held here next month
Interest was manifested, and promises
were received from several of the COM
n1ands

FIRE WITH SMALL DAMAGE.
Broke Ont in n. Nj. Roberts House
ON Henry Street.


The firemen at No. engine house
were called out at 9:15 o'clock last
night by fire IN the home of Mr.. r.
M. Roberts, No. IA Henry street, west
The neighbors and passers-by had
snelled smoke all the evening, but had
been unable to locate its source. Mr.
Roberts and his family are out of the
city and only a young man is staying
at the house.
A passer-by saw the smoke burst
ing from the windows of a room. at
the rear of the house and rushing
across the street gave the alarm.
There was no one in the burning house
at the time and the f1remen had to
break in the door in order to effect an
entrance. Once inside a chemical
stream from the new combination
truck, put in commission not two
hours before the fire, was brought into
play and the flames were soon ex-
tinguished.
The fire destroyed the bed on which
1t started and had begun work on the
walls and ceiling when the work of
the firemen stopped the further pro-
gress of the flames. 1t is surmised
that a burning cigar or cigarette,
dropped by the young man who is
staying in the house during the sum-
mer, started the blaze.

Administrator Conduct.

Administrators Conduct
Chambers N. Crane fled suit FOR
specific performance and damages
against w. H. Wade. administrator Of
the estate Of Frances NJ. Way, in the
Superior Court yesterday. The plain
tiff alleges he bought at public out
cry two lots at Beaulieu, and that the
defendant refuses and neglects tn
make him a title.
1t IS charged in the petition that af-
ter due authority had been obtained
from the Court of Ordinary the lots
were exposed for sale before the door
Of the Court House and the plaintiff
being the highest and best bidder thew
were knocked down to him for S965,
This amount he rendered the defend
ant, with - deed to the property, but
the administrator refused to accept
the money or to sign the deed.
In addition to this alleged wrong.
the plaintiff charges that since he
bought the property the defendant
has sold one of the lots to Thomas
Daniels, giving an easement on an ar
tesian well on the other lot.
He asks for the specific performance
of the defendants contract of sale,
for 500 damages for the loss of the
fruit on the lots, of which he would
have had the benefit, and for 500 at
torney's fees, for what he character
ICES as the stubborn and litigious con-
duct of the defendant. He asks fur
ther that the deed to Daniels be de-
livered UP and cancelled. He is rep
resented by Beckett & Beckett

MAY SELL CHATTAHOOCHEE.

Reported the Ocean Steamship Com
pany May Dispose of Her.
The steamship Chattahoochee, of the
Ocean Steamship Company's fleet, it
is reported, is 10 be sold. Some time
ago it was reported that the City of
Macon would be given in part payment
for the new ship that is being con-
structed at Chester for the company,
SO that, if the Chattahoochee also
goes, two of the vessels of the COM
pany of the older type will be disposed
of in order to make way for more mod
ern ships of a style. of construction
better suited to freight transportation.
The new ship will be a duplicate of
the City of Memphis, which has given
the company such satisfaction. 1t is
said that it is the desire of the officials
to have a feet of such ships. With
fewer vessels, provided they were of
the City of Memphis type. the COM
pany could do as much business as
with the present fleet of the ships that
do not carry so much freight, and yet
the expense of operation would be de-
creased.
