Following a desperate scuffie with
Patrolman Nose Davis in Oglethorpe
lane, near Bull street. shortly after
II o'clock last night, a stalwart ne
gro, supposed to be one of the "Mys-
terious Burglars" made his escape.
Five shots were fired at the sus-
pect by the officer between Whitaker
and Barnard street, but the man is
not believed to have been wounded. He
was lost in the lane just west of Bar
nard street and a search by a dozen
officers and a score of citizens failed
to reveal his hiding place.
Davis reported that he was on Bull
street, near the Independent Presby-
terrain Church, when he saw the ne
gro on the fence of a Hull street resi-
dence. The man jumped down and
was standing near a telegraph pole
when the patrolman went forward and
placed him under arrest. He started
with his prisoner for Bull street and
the negro began to resist.
Tore His Clothing on.
The negro, known to Davis as Jen-
kins, put up desperate fight, and the
officer could not get at his pistol or
billy. He scuffied with his prisoner
and both fell in the lane. Pedestrians
on Bull street thought that there was
a fight between negroes, and even aft
err the patrolman shouted that he was
an officer no assistance was offered
him.
The shirt and coat were torn from
Jenkins back, but the patrolman found
it impossible to keep the man on the
ground. Jenkins finally struck him
over the eye and ran down the lane
in the direction of Whitaker street. The
officer was on his feet in minute and
started in pursuit. He found, how
ever, that he could not shorten the
distance between them and that the
negro was really gaining. At Whitaker
street the first shot was fired.
Negro Not Frightened.
Davis cooked the weapon and says
that he took deliberate aim. The bull
let went wide of its mark, however, and
the negro turned and said: "Shoot her
again" Once more the officer fired
and again the fugitive extended him an
invitation to shoot. The remaining
chambers of the officers revolver were
emptied before Barnard street was
reached, but the suspect continued to
run.
Thoroughly winded and with an
empty revolver the officer returned to
the scene of his scuffle, when the man
disappeared. The negro's coat and top
shirt were found in the lane where he
had put up such a stubborn fight
They were gathered together after
which half dozen officers renewed the
search. The suspect had not been To-
Gated up to an early hour this morn
ing, although the West Side was being
| thoroughly secured for him.
The shooting threw the neighborhood
into state of intense excitement and
persons who had gone to bed got up
and dressed. A large crowd gathered
and citizens in dishabille went burglar
hunting. Just what the Negroes game
was and whether he saw the officer
on Bull street and was frightened. or
was frightened from the inside, are
matters that We're not determined last
night. The night before an attempt
| was made to enter the Kraus residence
at No. 10 Hull street, west

WORDS OF PRAISE
FOR CAMP PULASKI,

Commanding Officers, Returning
cnmpment.
On returning home the officers of the
various troops which composed Camp
Pulaski have only words of praise for
the encampment at Savannah. The fol-
lowing from the Atlanta Journal:
Maj. ]. S. Dozier, who commands
the Second Squadron of the First Geor-
gia Cavalry, which squadron is COM
posed of the Governors Horse Guard of
Atlanta, Troop l.; the Augusta Hus-
sars, Troop K: and the Gambler Horse
Guards of Gainesville, Troop F, re-
turned this morning from the camp at
Savannah and gave a very fiattering
report of the trip.
Mai. Dozier was very much pleased
indeed with the encampment. Maj.
Dozier has been actively engaged in
military affairs for sixteen years, and
he says that he has never seen another
er encampment that could in any re-
spect equal the one which broke camp
yesterday. There was no objection In
the first place to the site, except
lack of shade and an insufficient sup
ply OF water, which was soon remedled.
With the First Georgia Cavalry was
encamped fifty men from Troop G,
Seventh United States Cavalry. And
these men vera of material benefit to
the members of the First Georgia.
These men worked hand, and Maj. Do
zier says he never saw before the bar
riers broken down so well between reg
ulars and militia. Capt. Bell. together
with Lieut.. Kendrick and Lieut.. Miller
of the Seventh Cavalry, superintendent
everything in person. The people of
Savannah were exceedingly nice to the
regiment and Col. Meldrim showed
every courtesy possible. Maj. Doziers
squadron received many honors, from
Troop K. the orderlies for the colonel
were selected; from the Governors
Horse Guards, the orderlies for the adj
jutant, and Troop F, from Gainesville,
passed the best examination.

LAST JURY TRIAL TO-DAY.

Calvin Murder Trial Has Been POST
pOned Until Latter Part of October.
To-day will witness the trial of the
last jury cases in the Superior Court
until October. Owing to the fact that
a jury could not be secured in a di-
vorce case yesterday, because of the
objections of certain parties to the
judicial severance of the marital rela-
ton, only eight Jurors were secured.
These eight have been ordered to re-
port to-day, while all others have been
discharged. Four talesman will be
drawn to complete the panel
The Calvin murder trial which was
set for to-day has been postponed I'M
til October, and a number of other
smaller matters have gone over. The
court will hear matters in chambers,
but, owing to the warm weather, it
was deemed best to have no jury trials
during August and September.

WHERE TO LOOK
FOR THE COMET.
In the Lower Fart of the Big Dip
per's Handle.

In the Lower Fart of the Big Dip
per's Handle.
The Borelli comet which was dis
covered about five weeks ago, is now
plainly seen with the naked eye. 1t is
between the first star in the handle
of the Great Dipper southwest of the
Pole Star. 1t will be between the first
star in the handle and the bowl of the
Great Dipper.
The best time toe look for it is as
soon as the sky is dark, after o'clock.
Astronomers have figured the tail to
be of enormous length. Through the
telescope the tail is fan-like in form
and is not distinct.
BY the naked eye the comet is about
equal to a star of the third magnitude
1t has nebulous, or hazy, appear
ance. 1t can be seen very we'll with
an ordinary opera glass.
1t is not the Blela comet, but is
named Borelli after the astronomer at
Marseilles, France, who discovered it.
The Perrin comet last year was not as
bright as this one, and it attracted
little attention.
The present comet was discovered
about five weeks ago, but was picked
up afterward by Prof. Campbell of the
Lick Observatory, California.
Astronomers are unable to tell
whether the Borelli comet will increase
or diminish in brightness. Less Is
known about comets than any of the
heavenly bodies. 1t is not known,
though there is much speculation, what
produces the tail or of what it is made.
The present comet is thought to be
moving in a parabolic curve and that
curve would carry il back into space
never to return.
Comets are sometimes trapped by
Jupiter; that is, Jupiter's attraction
converts their orbit into an ellipse. In
such cases the comets become periodic,
as the ellipse is closed curve. Such
a comet is Halley's. There are per-
haps twenty-five such comets belong
ing to what is called Jupiter's family

THIS BURGLAR is PERSISTENT.

The, home of Mrs. E. ]. Thomas at
No. ia McDonough street, east, was
entered early yesterday morning, and
early last night negro, caught in the
act of trying to open one of the win
dows. was frightened away.
The first burglar went into the house
through a window, but did not take
anything. He prowled around the
rooms on the first floor, but in each
found himself locked in from the other
parts of the h. use. The robber fin
ally abandoned his search and left
without securing anything.
Early last night negro was seen
at one of the windows of the house.
He seemed to be trying to get in, and
pedestrian managed to brighten him
away. No shots were fired and there
was no great excitement. The mat
ter was reported to the desk sergeant
at police Headquarters.

ADM Illustrator HAD
ELEVEN CENTS LEFT

An unusual case was presented to the
Court of Ordinary yesterday when the
administrator on the estate of William
McNichols reported to the court that
after administering fully on the es-
tate he had II cents left. The court
directed that the amount be deposited
in the registry of the court and devoted
to the final costs in the case.
The administrator did not, however.
succeed in making a return to the court
without some trouble. The assets of
funeral expenses amounted to $46 The

administrator forthwith made his final
return to the court.

MIR. Dan HuII,s Illness.

The report that Mr.. Dan Hull is i'll
in New York caused considerable COM
ment yesterday. The friends and rel
atives of Mr.. Hull. while disposed to
discredit the report, are not advised as
to his Whereabouts. The last informa-
ton received from him was to the eff
feet that his condition was not being
improved at Tate Springs, and that a
change was contemplated.
One of Mr.. Hulrs relatives stated
that he believed that he was in New
York, whittier he had gone a week or
ten days ago, though he did not con-
slider his condition alarming. In any
event, Mr.. HulPs health is bad, and
statements to the effect that he is still
at Tate Springs seem to have no more
authoritative foundation than does the
report that he is i'll in New York.

private boarding houses, or stopped
with friends and relatives. While the

very evident everywhere, there was
not a complaint of accommodations to
be heard and everybody seems to have
found a comfortable place to locate.

Headed by Miss Julia Redmond the

the best. AS a musical comedy the
