CRIED BY PHONE 1000 MILES.
Long Distance" Baby "A Grandson OF
Capt. VI. l.. UsiRa.

Capt. N. Il. UsiRa.
Savannah has an interest in the long
distance baby crier which lifted up his
voice in New York the other day and
was heard in Atlanta. The youngster
Charles Miguel Fairbanks, is the two
months-old son of Mr.. and Mrs
Charles f. Fairbanks of Staten Island
and is the grandson of Capt. and Mrs
NJ. p. Usina of this city The mother
was formerly Miss Neca Usina, whose
| marriage to Mr.. Fairbanks then of At
lanta is well remembered here as a
very pleasant event.
Mr. Fairbanks is superintendent of
the Staten Island Division of the New
York and New Jersey Telephone Com
pany. His father and mother are Mr..
and Mrs. Charles F. Fairbanks of At
lanta
Capt. Usina smiles in proud, grand
fatherly way when joked about his
two months-old grandson crying by
phone so that he can be heard a thou
sand miles.
The Morning News told briefly a day
or two ago the story of the baby and
the phone.
A few days ago Mr.. and Mrs. Fair
banks of Atlanta wanted to talk to
their son and daughter on Staten ISL
and and called them up on long dis
lance After talking a few moments
the fond grandparents naturally want
ed to 'see the baby" and as they
\. }, 9y,T,.
they wanted to hear him. That was not
an easier matter. The two-months-old
lad wasn't in a laxative mood just
then and needed little urging to
make himself heard. The unfeeling
grandfather was bent on a converse
ton, however. and told the mother TO
pinch the youngster and if that didn't
make him talk to stick pin in him
The following from the New York
American and Journal will tell how
things happened on the island when
the baby was pinched and what it was
doing just before being pinched:
Both the mother and the father of
the child are Southerners, and the
grandparents reside in the South Mr..
Fairbanks had occasion to talk to his
father and mother who live in Allan
Ia on the telephone, and who had new
er seen or heard his baby.
MRS. tdlEDankS stood nearby, with
the baby in her arms. She suggested
to her husband that he have the baby
make some noise so that its grand
mother could hear it.
Being unable TO talk, that was out
of the question, and the baby being at
the moment engaged in hitting the
bottle" Mrs. Fairfield thought that if
she took he bottle away from it the
baby would cry. She took the bottle,
but the baby thought it a joke. and
merely smiled. The mother then gave
1t pinch on the leg, and the cry that
the baby let out was loud enough to
be heard in Atlanta-over the phone"
The grandfather heard it, and con
graduated the parents on the strong
lungs the child had, but hoped that it
was not continual practice. After
making its long distance cry, the bot
tie was given back TO the baby, who
oblivious of the fact that it was now
the champion long distance crying
baby, was soon asleep"
Grandfather Fairbanks of Atlanta
said the baby just bawled like any 9TH
er baby and it seemed as if he were in
the next room. Grandfather Usina is
thinking of calling up his new grand
son now and seeing what success he
has with him by phone.

JURY COULDN'T AGREE.
Some of Its Members Impressed by
Tale of White Crook.

Tale OF Wh1le CrOOk.
William Schroeder, one of the best
known white crooks in the city, was
tried in the City Court yesterday for
the larceny of trolley wire belonging
to the Savannah Electric Company,
but for some reason the jury found it
impossible to agree.
Schroeder perpetrated a big theft of
brass from the Plant System a year
ago, the profits of which amply en-
abled him to pay his counsel fees and
the fine and costs he was then as
sessed in the Superior Court, and has
been mixed up in various pieces of
knavery during number of years.
His speciality is the theft of brass and
copper, in which articles of commerce,
secured by his own efforts and
through agents, he has done a thriving
business with junk dealers at home
and abroad.
The particular offense with which he
was charged at the hearing in the City
Court was the theft of copper wire at
Thunderbolt, which he almost succeed
ed in getting away with before his
confederates were caught. His two ne
gro accomplices, Spencer McNarey and
Josh Cook, were tried and found guilty
in the City Court and both of them are
now doing twelve months terms on
the gang.
The negroes told the court and jury
yesterday that Schroeder engineered
the whole plan, and that they acted
only under his orders. They described
infinitely what he had told them to do,
and how they were to try and get
away with the goods. To their evil
dence was added that of Randolph
kirkland, a junkdealer. to whom
Schroeder conf1ded his purpose of go
ing out to Thunderbolt with a couple
of negroes, whom he named, and Sc
curing lot of wire from an abandon
ed trolley line. Mr.. Kirkland had ad-
vised him to keep away from such a
transaction, and after the arrest of
McNarey and Cook. had been told by
Schroeder he was sorry he had not
followed this advice
Schroeder put up as his defense a
general denial of all that had been
testified against him. He denied hav-
ing any dealings with McNarey and
Cook, and denied it with great indig-
nation, swore he had never seen the
negroes before, repudiated the CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Kirkland and gen
orally gave the jury to understand he
was very much wronged man.
Some of the members of the jury
seemed to be impressed with this story,
for after struggling to reach an agree
ment for some hours they pronounced
1t impossible and a mistrial was de-
clared. Schroeder was represented by
r. L. Colding.

AUGUST BRINGS METEORS.
The Perseids Expected to Turn
Loose Next Week

Loose Next Week.
Savannah Star Gazers will have the
usual August meteoric showers to gaze
at in the course of the next two weeks.
The socalled August shower of the
Perseids is due on the 10. They have
received that name because their
radiant point is in the constellation of
Perseus.
The difference between the Leonids
the November shower, and the Per-
seds seems to be that the former are
not uniformly brilliant, while the lat
ter are about equally conspicuous
every year. The Leonids at certain
times, notably in 1888, when perhaps
the most markable meteoric shower
took place which has ever appeared in
the United States, and which was visi-
BILE all over the western hemisphere.
and in the year 1866, appear in enor-
nous numbers, thus presenting a uni
que and dazzingly brilliant phenome-
non.
Another difference between the Per-
seids in August and the Leonids in
November consists in the color of their
light and the velocity with which they
move. The Perseids have a decidedly
yellow tinge and move with medium
velocity, while the Leonids have a
blush color and move more swiftly.
The Leoaids are the fellows that
Savannah Camera Club tried to cap
ture from the roof of the De Soto
two years ago.

ness in the insane asylum at Milledge-

or such portion of it at any rate, as
may come from proximity to the OBJ
jects of his charitable purpose
A jury from the Court of Ordinary
on yesterday found Johnson insane, and
directed that he be confined in the SAN
itarium.
When the members of the jury reach
ed the Jail, for the purpose of holding
the hearing, they found Johnson ac-
lively engaged in the conduct of reli-
gious services for the benefit of the
nm les of the Jail, on whom he has
Deen practicing up preparatory to the
exercises of his spiritual gifts in Mill
edgeville
For the benefit of the jurors he sang

to exhibit his powers as an exhorter
and wound up his performance with
the assurance that if he were not sent
to Milledgeville right away "all the
people up there would be lost
This was enough for the jury, and
a verdict of insanity was rendered
without more ado. johnson will be
sent to Milledgeville as soon as there
is a vacancy.

NO ADVANCE IN COAL.
Strike at the North Not Affecting the
Local Market.

With the advance of from so cents to
81 ton in coal in the Northern and
Western cities Savannahians have
been keeping an eye on the market
and wondering whether there is to be
an advance here. 1t will be gratifying
to know that the price will probably
remain where it now is and where it
has been for nearly two years in Sa-
vannah. The local dealers do not ex-
pect any rise in price as a result of
the strike in the Pennsylvania coal
fields. At the outset of the strike they
said that they apprehended no adj
vances in the price locally. and they
have not yet found reason to change
this view.
One dealer said yesterday that an
thracite is retailing at $3.50 ton. while
soft coal is bringing Sc. 81 do not be-
lieve the people of Savannah would
stand an advance in price of hard
coal" he said They would either
burn would or soft coal. The Alabama
and Tennessee coal fields are not af-
fected by the strike. and their sup
plies are still open to us"

SEA ISLANDS BAD OUTLOOK.
Florida Grower Says There'I Not BE
Over Half n CrOp.

Messrs. Butler, Stevens & Co. re-
ceived the following letter yesterday
from prominent cotton buyer and
farmer of Madison, Fla, on the condi-
ton of sea island cotton:
I'VE are having lots of rain and the
cotton crop is poor up to this time.
1t does not look like it could make
more than half a crop. We had very
heavy rains in JuAp, and then it
turned off extremely dry and hot, and
the cotton fired and shielded off the
leaves and very near all of the bottom
crop shielded off. l do not think there
will be but very little cotton in this
market before October, and there will
have to be great come-out in the
crop if there is much then"

TRYING TO PREVENT FIGHT.
Courts of Kentucky May Enjoin Prize
Fiqht at Louisville.

Louisville, KY, Sept. 16.-Attorney
General Pratt today filed suit for an in
junction to prevent the contest be-
tween Terry McGovern and Young Cor
bett. The case will be argued Thurs
day.
1t is expected that decision will be
handed down promptly in order that
the status of the contest can be deter
mined at once. Should the decision be
against the match, the fighters attor-
neys say the case can be taken at once
to the court of appeals and pushed
through in ample time for the contest,
The petition alleges that the prize
fight will bring together a dangerous
assemblage of many thousand persons
which will have a demoralizing effect
on the well being of the community
and that the contest is contrary to the
laws of the state.
