Hrisk Breezcs and Considerable
Water and Ice Prevailed.
A day that was promising to break
the records for heat was held up yes
terday by heavy rain, accompanied
in some sections by hail and wind.
The mercury was rising rapidly from
early morning and by 2 o'clock had
reached SO degrees. Those who were
out thought that the chances were for
reaching and passing the record of the
summer, which is 90 degrees. But an
atmospheric disturbance was brewing,
and at about 3 o'clock, the skies having
been overspread with clouds for half
an hour or more, rain descended in tor
rents. 1t was heavy rain for half an
hour or more. and everything was cool
ed off perceptible. The temperature
was reduced over twenty degrees.
In the southern and southeastern
sections of the city and some of the
suburban towns q heavy hailstorm was
noted, accompanied by high winds. The
hail was large and in some places APP
peared to cover the ground like snow.
A sharp wind accompanied the hail
and some branches of trees suffered.
The hail was particularly noticed In
the cavalry camp out at the fair
grounds. In the northern portion of
the city no hail fell at all, nor was the
wind noticed as being more than a
little breeze.
During the rainfall the minimum for
the day 73 degrees, was reached. At
o'clock the record showed 81 degrees;
this was warm enough. but compared
with some of the places Savannah was
almost chilly at that hour. The
o'clock report gave New Orleans, Mo
bile, and other places in the neighbor-
hood of the Gulf 80 degrees and Okla
homa "a, and Dodge City SO degrees.
While it rained real hard Yesterday
the downpour did not last long enough
to measure up very much The off,
cial report was 10 of an inch. The
excess of rainfall for the month to date
is 2.40 inches, and the excess for the
year from Jan. l to date. g. 36 inches.

MYSTERIOUS BURGLAR
TAKES ONLY MONEY.
Police Annoyed by Complaints of
This Glass of Theft.

Police Annoyed by Complaints of
This Glass of Theft.
There is at large IN Savannah a
burglar who only takes money.
The police and detectives are max
ing every effort to apprehend him, but
thus far without any degree of sue
cess.
Several complaints have been made
at police headquarters of the burglar
izing of dwellings when only money
was taken, although valuable jewelry
could have been secured just as easily
The plain clothes men have endeav-
ored to get hold of some clue, but
without the slightest degree of sue
cess and they are as far away from the
culprlt now as upon the day when the
first case was reported.
Yesterday morning it was reported
at headquarters that the home of Mr..
LeeRoy Myers on CASTOR street, near
Bull, had been visited during the night
and that $35 in cash had been taken.
The money was distracted from the
trousers pocket sof Mr.. Vivian Myers,
who with his brother and father were
sleeping when the robber made his call.
The man entered by cutting a pane
of glass in a window in the front of
the residence. He went about his work
nOiselessly and the theft was not dis
covered until morning. Nothing else
in the house was molested. Detective
Julius Stark Investigated the robbery
and it is believed at headquarters that
the work was done by the man who
has gotten to be known as the "mys-
ferrous burglar"

"MysteriOus Burglar" Frightened
from Two Houses at Midnight.
Within a period of ten minutes the
Mysterious Burglar" who has been
operating for several nights, visited
two residences on Abercorn street at
about midnight last night.
In each case the man was frightened
away before the arrival of the police
and no trace of him could be found.
The robber attempted to enter the res
Idence of Mrs. M. A. Habersham, No.
120 Bolton street, east, and the home of
Mrs. c. V. Butler. No. 121 Anderson
street, east.
Telephone messages from both places
We're sent to police headquarters and
Desk Sergeant McCool hurried a dozen
or more men to the addresses given.
The burglar. however, got out of the
way before the arrival of the uniform
ed men. 1t was the belief of the DO
lice that the same man visited both
houses, and that he went from Bolton
street to Anderson street, only a short
distance.
In each case he attempted to. enter
through a window on the front. At
the Bolton street address there were
two ladies asleep in the front room
and the man at the window Weakened
them. They quickly gave the alarm
and the robber lost no time in getting
away. At Mrs. Buffers residence a
window was also tried and the sleep
ing inmates were aroused. They tele-
phoned at once to the police, but when
the officers arrived few minutes later
there were no suspicious characters in
the neighborhood. 1t seems certain
that the Mysterious Burglar visited
both places.

d. Arrests Made.
One silver dollar was charged by Re
corder Myrick at yesterdays session
of Police Court when Patrolman r.
B. Davis made it plain that he had
caught M. P. Black, colored, cutting
across the grass in Pulaski Square.
The uniformed man called the atten-
ton of the Recorder to the fact that
frequent warning has been given, and
that Black had the effrontery to plead
ignorance. The Recorder feared that
if he overlooked the first violation
Black might forget his experience and
the nominal fine was imposed as a
reminder.
Apparently the Barnard street
squares are favorites. Court had just
adjourned when Patrolman A. J. Clark
spied fourteen-year-old Willie Berry
colored, tripping across the grass The
uniformed man slipped up on the boy
and made him a prisoner. This hap
pened in Telfair Square, but a short
while later the same officer arrested

ing the grass in Pulaski Square. Both
defendants will be arraigned this morn

In these words Col Rufus E. Lester
last night set at rest the rumor that

been annoyed by the report that had
been put in circulation.
Il have never stated to any one

said Col. Lester. 1T is a year off and
1 cannot understand all of this talk
now. 1 know of no reason why

the election were tomorrow l would
be a candidate. This shows just about
how l feel on the subject.
Many things can happen in a year

that 1 will go to Congress again. None
of us know when we will be taken
away and for this reason none of us

Resignation of Alderman Was Ac-

Resignation OF Alderman Was Ac-
cepted by Council, However.
With expressions of regret Council
yesterday accepted the resignation of
Alderman w. j. Watson. Contrary to
expectations his successor was not
named.
There We're four members of Council
absent and the Mayor did not think
under the circumstances that it was
an opportune time to select the new
alderman. He gave this as a reason
for not favoring an immediate cleo
ton.
Although Mr.. Watson is no longer
an alderman, he is still on the Building
Committee that has in charge the
erecting of a new City Hall. This was
brought about by means of the fol-
lowing resolutions Offered by Alderman
Dixon and unanimously adopted:
Whereas, Hon. w. j. Watson is now
upon the New City Hall Building Com
mittee, is a valuable member thereof.
and has resigned from the Board of
Aldermen, and it is desirable that his
services should be retained on the com
mittee, be it
Resolved, that he is hereby retained
as member of the said committee.

and while the troopers are not feast
ing on larded duck or mushrooms and

Water supply All Right.
There was little or no complaint
about water yesterday. One of the
fire engines spent the night at the
camp pumping water into the tank
and when the men went to water their
mounts in the morning they found
plenty of pressure. Mr.. Fred Hull was
on the ground early and worked all day
in order that the men might not suf-
fer from want of water BY direction
of Col Estill, president of the Cham
Der of Commerce, who ordered that no
expense be spared to relieve the con-
dition, he had steam boiler and pump
placed on the grounds. This will be
put into service to-day. and no further
trouble is apprehended. Mayor Myers
has also promised to have the street
sprinklers bring city water to the camp
for drinking purposes.
Col. Meldrim has expressed himself
as much Obliged to the naval reserves,
under command of Lieut.. c. w. Saus-
sly, who have voluntarily added so
much to the exercises at the camp by
firing the morning and evening guns.
The men will remain in camp until the
end of the tour of duty.
No programme for the end of the
week has yet been arranged in place
of the one proposed i'm the event of
the Governors visit. Since it has been
determined that he will not come. some
other programme will have to be ar
ranged. This will probably be done
to-day.
There was the usually large number
of visitors at the camp during the
day. In the morning a number of
pretty girls invaded the tented city,
while after the shades of night had
fallen several other parties visited
headquarters.
There is little time for the men TO
play in camp. From morning until
night they are kept busy. At first
there were those who We're disposed
to grumble al the amount of work that
