decorated with sprigs of evergreen and
wreaths of different varieties of green
cry. These were the only new
exhibits which put in appearance
yesterday up to 5 o'clock, but coupled
with those which were in place Mon
day they pretty well filled the build
ing.
In the adjoining building the Savan-
nah Woodenware Company is the first
new booth that attracts the eye. This
booth is given background of va
riOus colored window-shades. The
walls have been prettily decorated with
a collection of different articles. A
covering of white material has been
put in position and long festoons Of the
same color material drop from all
available points.
A short distance further down is the
Abrahams e Putzel booth, in which is
a display of electrical fixtures and nov
elites, arranged with a view to pro-
ducinR the most artistic result possi-
BILE. A short distance further down
the aisle is the display of the Atlas
paints.
Worked Until Late at Night.
The booths in this building, which
were in place Monday, have been filled.
Byck, the shoe man. has his goods In
place. Collat also has finished his
booth, and was busy yesterday placing
the exhibits.
Worked continued on the I'M
finished booths and arrangement
of displays until a late hour
last night. The details will be
finished at an early hour this morning
and by noon, the building will be ready
to receive the first day visitors.
The individual displays, such as
painting, samples of needle work, draw
ings. fancy-stitched articles, pictures
and photos, were kept stored during
the day in a room adjoining the fair
headquarters. Shortly after shutdown
the work of placing them in the most
advantageous position possible was be-
gun by experienced persons, and Sec
rotary Doyle is confident that they will
all, despite the large number of Them
be in position by the opening hour.
Throughout both the art and the adj
joining building small booths have
been erected in the aisles. Here are
displayed shell souvenirs. glass novel
ties. rubber articles, albums, and other
small articles. which will be on sale
as fair souvenirs. Many of those which
were on display yesterday, were I'M

CRIB TO BE TAKEN
TO DOUGLAS MONDAY.
Criminal Baptized Last Sunday win
Hang on Tuesday of Next Week.

Criminal Baptized Last Sunday win
Hang on Tuesday of Next Week.
Lee Crib, the Coffee county muir
derer who was baptized in the Chat
ham county jail Sunday by Rev. t. B.
Stanford, pastor of the Methodist
Church at Douglas, and Rev. j. A.
Smith of Epworth Church. will be
taken to the scene of his crime Mon
day of next week, and Tuesday will
pay the death penalty on the gallows.
Crib was brought to Savannah and
placed in the Chatham county Jail for
safe keeping, after having ESCAPED
from the Coffee county Jail, and has
been here ever since. During his in
generation Rev. J. A. Smith has been
his spiritual adviser, and it was his
earnest work and pleading with the
condemned man that resulted in the
baptism Sunday.
Cribs only hope of escape from
death on the gallows lies in the fact
that the case is now before the State
Pardon Board, but, reviewing the mans
crime and its very wantonness it is
hardly probable that the board will
entertain any thoughts of interfering
in the matter. An appeal for a new
trial has been denied the condemned
man.
During his Incarceration in the Chat
ham county Jail Crib is reported to
have been a model prisoner.

ANOTHER ARREST ON
SHANGHAI CHARGE.
John GiIIIard Alleged to Have Been
shanghaied on Russian Bark Ar
rfvea To-day.

John GiIIIard Alleged to Have Been
shanghaied on Russian Bark Ar
rives To-day.
Another case of shanghaiing devel-
oped yesterday when John Blum was
arrested at the instance of James Coyle,
who claims that Blum not only gave
him money in advance of any services
performed on his part, but also at
tempted to put him aboard a Spanish
bark by force. Blum was arrested yes
terday on a warrant sworn out in Mag
istrate Naughtin's court, but was re-
leased on bond for $500. There are
a number of similar cases against Blum
all of which are to be Investigated by
the next United States grand jury.
The story of this transaction of
Blums is that Coyle agreed to ship
on Spanish bark with the proviso
that when the time of sailing came
a substitute should be provided for him
as he himself was to go on another
ship. With this consideration Blum is
alleged to have allowed Coyle SIS,
part of which he kept for board and
part of which he paid in cash. When
the time came for the Spanish vessel
to sail Blum insisted that Coyle go
carried to the dock by force and an
attempt made to put him on board.
This attempt Coyle successfully re-
sisted, but later Blum had him arrest
ed on the charge of stealing a blanket
He was given a hearing before Ma is-
trate Bevans and discharged, but later
was arrested by a member of the po-
lice force and claims to have been
kept in Jail for some eight days. When
finally discharged he made complaint to
United States Attorney w. r. Leaken,
who had him swear out the warrant
before the magistrate.
The last of the eight negroes that
are being brought back to this city to
testify in the shanghaiing cases, at
least the last of the five who are ex-
pected, will arrive on the Chatham
probably this morning. He arrived in
Wilmington, Del, Saturday, having
reached this side from England on the
British ship Cymbeline from Havre.
This mans name is William Gilliard.
He was a farmer and came to Savan-
nah to sell vegetables. According to
his story, he was sent aboard a Rus
sian bark to sell potatoes, and while
aboard, the vessel set sail and he was
not allowed to leave her, not even al
lowed to jump over and swim ashore.
