DISCOVERED AT BEDSIDE
IN DEAD OF NIGHT.
Bold Intruder Pleaded Guilty to
BurEIariOus Intent.

Sam Ganaway, colored. who. on
Christmas night, found his way into
the home of L. A. Hester, on the Louis
vile road, and when first discovered
was standing beside the bed of Miss
Essie Hester, pleaded guilty to bur
glary in the Superior Court yesterday
and was sentenced to one year on the
chaingang.
Ganaways case was a most unusual
one. When discovered on the night
he was in the house he could give no
reason for his being there other than
that he had lost his way. He said
that he was drunk and had walked a
little out of the road. The house is sit
uated near the five-mile post on the
Louisville road, and is several hun
bred yards off the road.
Ganaway was brought to Savannah
at midnight by brothers of the fright
ened woman, whose screams for aid
brought them to her bedside. The trip
to town was made at the dead of night,
and Ganaway was lodged in Jail, Just
as the bells were ringing out the New
Year. a charge of assault with intent
to rape was lodged against him.
1t was upon this charge that the in
vestigation was made by the grand
jury. After hearing all of the evidence,
however, the jurors decided that it was
not sufficient to warrant the return Of
an indictment for the offense charged,
but returned the indictment for bur-
glary, to which the negro pleaded gull
ty. He was represented by Edwin Lef-
fer.

WILL PRINT HIS ADDRESS.
Sons of Veterans to Preserve MT.
Hitch's Paper on the Georgia Sc
cessiOn Convention

To an audience which filled every seat
in the Confederate Veterans Associa-
ton Hall, Hon. Robert M. Hitch deliv-
cession Convention of 1861 and it's
Causes" last night. His address was
an elaborate treatise on the causes
leading up to the convention and the
actions of that important body. 1t
showed deep and logical thought and
the compact results Of careful research.
The speaker unearthed many inter-
esting historical facts, and presented to
his audience in entertaining and logical
style the important facts which it had
taken him much time to prepare.
1t is doubtful it, since the struggle. a
better exposition of the secession con-
vention has been compiled, and the au-
dience considered itself fortunate to
hear so able paper on so important
subject. Mr.. Hitch said that in the
preparation of the address he had en-
countered many facts, which to him.
were new-some, indeed, which he
doubted not the veterans of the strug-
gle had not heard of-and these facts
he considered it his duty to disclose.
Too much. he said, had been written
by the other side, and he wished to Law
before the people the real issues and
the real history in the secession conven-
ton.
The speaker said at the outset that
ne was going to deal in no fireworks.
nor would he attempt to inject any
pepper or salt oratory into his dis
course, but rather present a summary
OF the facts and circumstances of the
case, and the undisputed history of
the convention. Though he spoke for
more than two hours, Mr.. Hitch held
the attention of his audience and
when he had concluded many were
surprised to note the 1ateness of the
hour.
At the conclusion of his address Mr..
II. }. Thomas moved that a rising vote
OF thanks be extended Mr.. Hitch for
MS able paper, saying that through
out It's reading he had felt a. tinge of
the old times coursing through his
veins. The vote of thanks was ac-
cordingly extended, and the president
OF the association announced that the
camp would appropriate certain sum
to have the address printed in tablet
form.
There was no meeting of the Sons of
veterans. The next meeting of the
camp, President. Harden announced
will be an important one and all mem
bers are urged to be present.

and dragged twenty feet, the mules
turned over and over and injured, the
headlight of the car broken, the front
platform damaged, and the motorman
and negro driver Jared and frightened
badly.
The driver of the team said he did
not see the car. nor hear the gong I'M

going too fast for him to get out of the
way. The mules were able to regain
their feet after awhile, and were taken
to the veterinary infirmary of DR.. NJ.

animation that both animals were
bruised, and one probably injuried In

Feb. %. programme of the annual
shoot of the Guards battalion is being
prepared and will be out in a few
days. The men are practicing when
weather permits on the range. and it
is expected that the large number of

The First Infantry, the Georgia Hus-
sars and the Chatham Artillery are
preparing for the battle exercises on
that date. AS Gov. Terrell, and other
distinguished visitors, will be present

A SOLDIER in TROUBLE.
Locked Up for Safekeeping Because
Mentally Unbalanced.


Corpl. l. T. Wellington, who has been
connected with the recruiting station
in this city for some weeks is now an
inmate of the barracks, where he was
placed early yesterday morning for
safe keeping, as his actions of the last
few days have led his comrades in the
recruiting office to believe him mem
tally unbalanced. 1t is probable that
he will be taken to Fort Screven to-
day, though what final disposition will
be made of him is not now known.
Corpl. Wellington Is native of
North Carolina, but came to this CITY
from Jacksonville some weeks ago. In
the Florida city he was prominently
identified with athletic circles, being
an excellent baseball player and prob
ABLY OF even greater abilities on the
gridiron. 1t is not improbable that
his fondness for the latter sport is re
sponsible for his present condition, for
in the early part of the present season,
as member of the Jacksonville foot
pail team, he was injured in a game
that that organization played with a
Charleston team in Charleston
In this game, which was quite a
hard-fought one, Wellington received a
kick on the head, which kept him con-
fined to the hospital for two weeks be-
fore he was able to return to Jackson
vile. He was unable to play during
the remainder of the seoson, but re-
tanned his active interest in the game.
and was most enthusiastic spectator
OF all the games played in this city.
IL is thought his unfortunate condi-
ton may be due to the effect of the
dow received in the Charleston game.

MITCHELL HELD
WITHOUT AUTHORITY.
Sick Seaman is Released and Re-
turns to st. JOseph's Infirmary.

Sick Seaman Is Released ana He
turns to st. JOseph's Inflrmary.
Because the warrant under which
he was arrested was issued without
proper authority, Judge Barrow yes
terday ordered Sheriff Schwarz to re-
lease from custody George Mitchell,
the seaman who, while i'll at st. Jo-
seph's Infirmary was arrested and
taken to Jail. The warrant, charging
him with desertion, had been issued
by Justice Sam Reynolds, whereas the
law requires that it be issued only by
the captain of the ship.
Mitchell, who had been serving as
donkeyman on the British bark Lavan-
dra, became i'll, and coming ashore,
when the bark arrived in port, con-
suited a physician. The physician
gave him a certificate to the effect
that he was too ill to attend to his
work, but thi scertificate the captain
of the ship tore up. Then Mitchell got
another certificate, to the effect that
he was a fit subject for a hospital,
and thereupon went to the infirmary.
The treaty between the United States
and Great Britain was read, and the
prisoner, who claimed to be an Ameri-
can, introduced in evidence his dis
charge from an American transport on
which he served during the late war.
His certificate of citizenship he said
he lost when the Virginia went down.
There was great deal of testimony
relative to his nationality and kindred
subjects, introduced, but Judge Bar
row ruled that the only question which
properly came before the court on the
trial of the issue was whether the war
rant under which he was held was
good.
The prisoner said that he was taken
from the hospital by the practice of
deception. Members of the crew of the
vessel had come and told him that he
was wanted at the British consulate.
He told them that he was unable to
walk, but they told him that it was
but few blocks. He said that he
went with them. Finally they arrived
at place which he knew nothing of.
and they asked him if he knew where
he was. Upon his replying in the neg
ative, they told him that he was in
Jail.
Three doctors were sworn in the
case. Their testimony was somewhat
at variance as to the physical condi-
tlon OF the man, one saying that he
| was we'll enough to perform the duties
of fireman, and another saying that he
was sufferer from. rheu-
matism and a fit subject for the hos
pltal. The man looked the part of a
SICK man, if he was not, and imme-
diately on his release returned to the
| hospital He said he had eaten nothing
for six days.
The case is at rest for the present.
at least as far as the detention of
Mitchell is concerned. The ship has
sailed and he claims has, besides his
clothing, more than $50 in wages be-
longing to him. He. will remain here
under the treatment of a physician un-
til he is better, when he expects to re-
turn to his home in Baltimore. 1t is
pfopaole that when the British bark
| returns to this port a libel will be in
stituted, and the case come I'M for
trial on it's merits.

Before.
The statement of the money order
department of the postoffice for the
last quarter of 1902, which was COM
pleted yesterday by Mr.. H. r. Rawls,
superintendent, and submitted to
Postmaster Henry Blum, Jr., shows the
business of that department to have
been decidedly larger than that of the
same quarter of the previous year.
The actual figures show that there was
an increase of IA per cent. on the gen.
eral business and, considering fees
alone, an increase of 46 per cent. An
excellent showing, indeed.
During the time under consideration
the department issued 10,197 money Or
ders, as against 1902 for the same
period of the year before, and the
amounts for which they were drawn
also show a corresponding increase,
being for 1902, $S9,625SS, against $751;
6S127 for 1901. 1t is in the fees, how
ever, that the greatest and most graft
flying increase is shown, these being
for 1902, $915.O9, against $627.43.
Much more money was brought to
the city than was sent out of it as is
shown in the fact that the department
paid IA, 457 orders last quarter, amount
ing to $112, 299.OS, against 1929 amount
ing to $1O6, 2O5.S7, a net increase in the
number of orders of per cent. Re

were, in number 1880, amounting to
1923, S96.74 as compared with 2,148,
amounting to 1921. 047.07 for the CORE
spending period of the year before
The totals show that the department
made 27,044 transactions that involved
a sum of more than half a million dol
lars, in exact figures, $519, 821.70.

$4,000 Per Bottle.

This seems a pretty big price to nav
for a single bottle of medicine, and vet
if you consider the matter rightly, it
is very cheap price for a bottle of
Johnson's Tonic.
Here is what fixes its value:
First. No man can die of fever who
uses it half way right.
Second. No other medicine can cure
a bad attack of grip.
800 is dirt cheap for this wonderful
medicine, and yet you can buy it for 30
cents a bottle.
Don't buy it from substitutors. Your

business.
