Two PROSECUTING
LAWYERS Arrested.
The Attorneys Had Gone to See
the Author of a Story Put in
Circulation About Them.
SpeciaI to The State.

Special TO Inc SCaGe.
Lexington, Oct. 14.-E. L. Asbill
and 7. G. Sturkie, attorneys for the
prosecution in the Tillman case. were
arrested tonight on warrants sworn
out, it is said, by brother-in-law OF
M. G. Lorick, who has appeared as a
witness for the defense. The charges
made are carrying concealed weapons
and trespass after notice. Bonds were
signed by DR.. Crosland of this place
for both men.
Mr.. Sturkie, when seer last night
by your correspondent explained the
matter. He said last Tuesday he and
Mr.. Asbill went to see Geiger, the
brother-in-law of Lorick, in regard to
q report that had been circulated
about Lexington. This report was to
the effect that Mr. Asbill had offered
Lorick S25 not to appear as witness
for the defense. Mr.. Sturkie went on
to say that Geiger was nol-committal
and said that he had obtained the in
formation from Wallace Lorick, and
asked the two lawyers to stop few
minutes until he should arrive. Pres
emily came Wallace Lorick in buggy.
Mr.. Asbill asked If he had spread the
report. Lorick replied that he was not
armed, but would 20 and get his shot
gun. He went to his house, some 200
yards distant, and fred his shotgun
twice. To this Mr.. Asbill and Mr..
Sturkie paid no attention and the mat
ter was apparently at an end. They
came to Lexington and were unaware
of further developments until the war
rants were issued tonight. Mr. Stur-
kie says that they received no notice
that they were trespassing at the time.

Cause Of Lockiaw.

lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by ba-
cillus OR germ which exists plentifully in
street dirt. It is inactive so long as ex.
posed to the air, but when carried beneath
the skin, as in the wounds caused by per.
cussion caps or by rusty nails, and when
the air is excluded the germ is reused to
activity and produces the most virulent
poison known, These germs may be de-
stroyed and all danger of lockjaw avoided
by applying Cbamberlain's Pain Balm
freely as soon as the injury is received
Pain Balm is an antiseptic and causes cuts.
bruises and like injuries to heal without
maturation and in one third the time re-
quired by the usual treatment. It is for
sale by China's Drug Store.

Last Saturday when Messrs. Dwight
and Hardy Stuckey went to hitch up
their mule to 60 home they found
their buggy missing and in its stead
was an old. rickety, halfworn-out
buggy left for them. They could not
help themselves for the present, and
drove home in the old buggy. Dill
gent search and inquiry have tailed to
get any clue as to who took their bug
gy. At first they thought it was a
practical joke, but so far they have
had no tidings from the missing bug
gy. Any information concerning it
will be gratefully received by these

UNION SOLDIER WHO
WON SOUTHERN HEARTS
Col. milford, Former Federal Agent of Exchange,
Visiting Savannah

Gen. John E. milford and wife of
for several days, en- route from Mas
sau, where they spent the winter. Gen.
Milford was colonel of one of the first
regiments raised in the North for the
Civil War (the Third New York Vol
unteers).
he was assigned as commissioner for
the exchange of prisoners, and his OPP
pCrent was Hon. Judge Ould of Vir-
ginia for the Confederacy. During
December, 1864, he brought a large
number of Confederate prisoners 10
Savannah and exchanged them for
Union prisoners from Andersonville,
Millen and Savannah.
After the war Gen. Milford settled in
Richmond, and his record as a mag
unanimous and humane captor made
him many warm friends. He served as
internal revenue collector in Richmond
for four years. When he brought the
prisoners to Savannah in 1864 he was
rendered a banquet at the Pulaski
House, at which DR.. Arnold, then
Mayor, presided.
Gen. Milford is delighted with the
appearance of Savannah after so many
years absence and hopes to come
again next winter. He has been en-
gagged in large iron manufacturing
business in New York for many years,
where he has prospered. He regretted
very much to hear of the death of Gen.
McLArws, with whom he arranged an
armistice at Charleston for the pur-
pose of exchange of prisoners. Mr.. S.
F. B. Gillespie, now deputy clerk of
the United States courts, was his dep
uty collector in the internal revenue
service at Richmond, and he speaks in
the highest terms of his employer, as
a man of the highest integrity and the
very soul of honor.
The columns of the Morning News
of Nov. 26, 1864, contain the following
reference to Col. Milford, which gives
the strongest evidence of the esteem
in which he was held during hostilitieS
because of his courtesy, humanity and
kindness to Confederate soldiers:
1--WE take great pleasure in laying
the following before our readers" the
editorial reads, land take the occasion
to add that all our prisoners who
have had any business or intercourse
with Col. milford speak of him as an
honorable, humane and Christian gen
tleman." Then follows the card:
Editor Morning News: L desire to
record through your columns an act of
courtesy and kindness so seldom ex-
tended on the part of a Federal Off
GER to a Confederate prisoner. The of
ficer alluded to is Lieut.. Col. John K.
Milford u. S. A, the Federal Commits
sioner of Exchange. When l was sent
as a prisoner to Fort Warren, Boston
harbor, my watch, jewelry and money
were taken from me; and when sent
to City Point, Va, for exchange these
articles by some mistake were not re-
turned to me. Through the exertions
of Col. milford l have succeeded in
obtaining them, to whom l feel CRATE
full for his kindness; and l hereby re-
turn my sincere thanks to him for his
exertions to procure them for me. Very
respectfully, S. A. Brockington,

has gone out that it is the younger

Resolved, That the Savannah Chap
ter. d. a. r., receives the resignation
of its regent, Mrs. Annie KaroW, with
extreme regret. Her unselfish and pa
triotic work during her tenure of office
has been performed with marked sue
cess, and to the lasting benefit of the
people of the state. The interesting
tablets which point out the historic
sites of Savannah are. in large part,
the result of her enthusiastic work;
and the publication of the proceedings
of the Provincial Congress and the
Council of Safety of Georgia, which has
rescued so much of the record of Geor-
gia from oblivion, is distinctly the re-
suit of her insistent efforts to save
the history of the state. This chapter
will miss her in all ways and re-
joices in the conviction that her In
terest in the things which appertaIn
to our work, whilst no longer official,
will still be earnest and helpful, and
promising of best results.
Mrs. Charles G.. Barney offered the
following:
Resolved That in the retirement of
our regent, Mrs. Edward Karow, the
Savannah Chapter, Daughters of the
American Revolution, loses as It's ac-
tive head a most able and efficient
leader, and we now desire to express
our appreciation OF ner unCedSlnB Ia
bors and her untiring devotion to the
chapter. To her tact and judgment,
her gentle and gracious manners to
all its members, may be attributed the
dignitied method with which the ar
fairs of the chapter have been conduct
ed, and the marked success of the pa
triotic work undertaken and accom-
plished during her regency.
The resolutions were accepted by the
chapter with a rising vote.
Mrs. A. B. Hull the vice regent, was
unanimously elected regent in Mrs.
Karow's place. and Mrs. w. A. Win
burn, vice regent. The chapter elect
ed five members of the board of man
ayers: Mrs. j. H. Esti1l, Miss Irene
Withers, Mrs. George j.. Mills, Mrs.
John Gray Steinheimer, and Mrs. r.
T. Waller. These ladies. with the re-
gent and vice regent, elect the other
officers of the chapter, the secretary,
treasurer, historian, and registrar,
who, with those already named, consti-
tute the board of managers. In the
absence of Mrs. Hull yesterday, no i'm
mediate action could be taken in this
matter, but meeting for the purpose
will be held at an early date.

NEW REGENT FOR
DAUGHTERS OF REVOLUTION
Mrs. karow Retires from Regency and Mrs Hull
Elected to the Place

good deal of interesting business was
transacted at the annual meeting of
the Savannah Chapter. Daughters of
the Revolution, yesterday morning at
the home of the retiring regent. Mrs.
Karow. The usual reports of the Off
GERS were submitted, that of the regis
trar showing that twelve new men,
bers had been added to the chapter
during the year, and that the papers
of nine of these had been already ap-
proved at Washington and entered
in the records of the chapter.
The treasurer's report showed bal
ance in the treasury of $22. &c. Mrs.
Karow announced that the net pro-
ceeds of the Beauty and the Beast"
entertainment amounted to $272.5 So =,
At the annual convention in Savan-
nah last fall the chapter donated 5000 90
to the Oglethorpe monument fund, and
the amount was forwarded to the state
treasurer of the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution, Mrs. M. A. Lipscomb.
A suggestion was offered by Mrs.
Charlton that the chapter ask for the
temporary return OF this sum, increase
it by the addition of $4,000, and for
ward the total direct to the treasurer
of the Oglethorpe monument fund, thus
making the gift of the Savannah chap
ter $780,
1t was moved and carried that the
chapter contribute $25 to the Conti-
mental Hall at Washington, and that
this would be the last gift towards
that object. Mrs. j. S. Wood moved
the donation of $40 to Meadow Gar
den, and the motion was carried.
A vote of thanks was offered by Mrs.
Ashmore to the Morning News and
to the Savannah Press for courtesies
rendered in connection with Beauty
and the Beast" and to the Morning
News, in particular, for printing the
tickets.
Mrs. Karow the regent, formally an
nounced her retirement from office.
While it has been understood for some
time that Mrs. Karow would not ac-
cept a reelection, and that her decis-
ion to give up the Office she has held so
efficiently for six years was final, her
resignation was received with deep re-
greet. The following resolutions were
offered by Mrs. Walter G.. Charlton:

GAMECOCKS AT FAIR
CITIZENS MARCHING CLUB OUT IN

Some New Donations Received
neutrality-suspicious. Made Last
Night.
Citizens Marching Club night at the
Sacred Heart Fair was a great success,
and will be marked as one of the most
interesting and eventful in the week.
The club went to the C. l.. A. Hall in
numbers, and for an hour or two the
place reminded those in the galleries
of the famous story of 1.-THE Pit" in
which the Chicago wheat pit is de-
scribed. Ample notice of the coming
of the Marching Club had been. given,
and not only were the decorations and
signs in readiness, but there were. more
than the usual number Of workers on
hand, and the results are said to have
been eminently satisfactory. over the
Country Store was suspended a sign
that had the patrons guessing, but
when interpreted by Proprietor Rossig-
mol, was the top notch-the meaning
was then clear enough, "Crows-over-
ais" and meant for the marching club
badge and gamecock. The store had
all sorts of roosters, among them IL
live gamecock in a bird cage, in charge
of Pretty Mary, and under her direc-
ton he crowed regularly every eight
cen seconds, all for the benefit of the
church building fund. The banner
across the stage had the letters &C.
M. c." and a big, red rooster, and
there were signs and roosters all about
the hall.
The Marching Club, preceded by
brass band, made a parade of the
streets and went to the hall at about
8 o'clock. There were about 400 men
in line and all wore the gamecock
buttons and badges. supper was serv-
ed at once and the balcony and the
lower dining rooms were filled to their
utmost capacity. The club reassem-
bled after supper, and in the main
hall was greeted in a hearty and pleas
ant little speech by Bishop Haid.
The fair workers had their turn as
soon as the speechmaking was over,
and they made the most of it. The
wearers of the gamecock badges may
be able to stand up for points and
questions when IL comes to men OF
their size, but the largest man in the
bunch was as easy as a guileless abb
originee in the hands of the pretty girls
who had intentions on his pocketbook.
They came around gracefully enough
and enjoyed the fun for hours. The
money spent was for good cause, and
there were no regrets.
The fair, which has been such con-
