STORMY AND FREEZING.
Ugly Weather Predicted by Wealth
er Burenu for To-dny.


At 1870 O'Clock yesterday the local
weather officials were advised of a
northwest storm prevailing and effect
ing coast points from Mobile to Nor
folk. Brisk 10 high winds were an
nounced for Savannah last night, and
the mercury, it was stated, would fall
TO a minimum of 25 degrees in the in
terror. and freezing on the coast in
side the next thirty-six hours.
Later information received at 10
o'clock last night announces fair
weather and much colder conditions
to-day with brish west to northwest
winds. Tomorrow will continue fair
and cold.
Should the above conditions prevail
to-day and tonight. it will be well
for people to look out for their water
pipes and lay in a supply of fuel.
Most of the coal dealers have orders
placed in the North for large ship
ments. but owing to the limited sup
ply and demand throughout the coun-
try. they cannot get the orders deliv-
cred, and it is very probable that the
Savannahians will have to depend
mainly upon wood the rest of the win
ter months as the means of warming
their homes and keeping comfortable
Should the weather continue as il has
so far. the balance of the winter. with
only occasional cold snaps, there will
be but little Inconvenience occasioned
by the scarcity of coal, and wood will
meet all requirements.

WILL GIVE UP GEMS
DIAMONDS SECURED BY MAMIE De-
Girls GO BACK TO JEWELLERS.
PAWNBRoKERS HAVE NO TITLE
SOLICITOR WILL ADVISE POLICE TO
SURRENDER PLUMBER.

Thief Cannot Acquire Title and
with Absence of Title Pawnbrok-
ers Have no Chance of Recovering
Money They Loaned - Diamonds
Were Obtained by Means of Fraud
and It Would Seem That the
Pawnbrokers Must LOse-"DiamOnd
Queen" still in JaII-Expects to
Earn Money and Pay Those Who
Lost by Her Act.
The 81, 500 worth of diamonds secured
by Mamie DeCris from Theus Bros.
and Desbouillons last August will be
delivered to the jewelers. by Superin-
tendent of Police Owen Reilly to-day.
Solicitor General Osborne made an
investigate of the claims of the pawn
brokers yesterday, and will to-day adj
wise the officers to surrender the jewel
ry to those from whom it was secured
by the woman. This means that all of
the stolen property will be turned over
to its rightful owners, and if the pawn
brokers expect to recover the money
they loaned they will have to enter
civil suit against the jewelers..
1t is contended that a thief cannot
acquire title to property, and that there
must be some title, for the pawnbrokers
to recover what they gave
the Diamond Queen" There
is no question that they
could recover if the woman had ac-
quired legal title, but legal title could
not be acquired. it is held, by fraudu-
lent means. If the woman had made an
outright purchase and then pawned the
diamonds, those from whom she got
the money would lose nothing. The
fact, however, that the jewelry was
obtained on false writings, gave her no
to have no redress or chance to recov-
er. They may, however, determine to
have the courts settle this matter.
In the mean time the Diamond
Queen" is still a prisoner in the coun-
ty Jail and 1t is not known just when
she will be sent to the State Farm at
Milledgeville. The Prison Commits
sioners have been given notice of the
woman's sentence and a guard may
arrive for her this week. The prisoner
says she intends to make the best of
her sentence and when she gets out
she will turn over a new leaf and lead
a better life. 1t is her intention, she
says, to secure employment when she
gets her freedom and to make money
enough to reimburse those who lost by
her criminal act.
She is no longer permitted to eat
with a knife and fork and since SEN
tence was imposed has been given
spoon with which to eat her food. The
Soung woman. however, says that
she has no idea of doing herself bod
lily harm and will give those who have
her in charge no trouble. She de-
clares that the most trying ordeal has
been passed and that she feared the
passing of sentence more than any
other thing.
Although there were many in the
court room when Judge Barrow SEN
fenced her, she said she only saw
three faces. 81 was cold from my
head to my feet. but did not break
down until l was taken back into Mr.
Sweeney's Office" said the prisoner. 81
had often read of persons being SEN
fenced, but no one can know what it
means unless the sensation has been
experienced. 1t is more horrible than
could ever be imagined"

THE POWER OF SIN
The subject of Rev. Christians Ser
mon at Wesley Monumental.

Rev. H. C. Christian preached last
night to a large audience at Wesley
Monumental Church. His sermon was
strong one, which found its way to
the hearts of his hearers and resulted
in confessions of faith from a number
of the congregation.
His text was Psalms, kip: who
can understand his errors; cleanse thou
me from secret faults" His subject
was the different ways of acquiring
self-knowledge, Rev Christian submit
ting that no one can know the power
of sin until he begins to oppose it
that so long as he allows himself to
drift and does not attempt to oppose
sin, he cannot recognize its strength
but, so soon as he begins to combat
ii and endeaVOrs to lead a better life.
he feels the terrible force of the Sin
which has gotten possession OF him.
He substantiated this truth by vari-
Gus examples where the power of sin
is best felt in opposing it, citing par
ticularly the power which the drink
habit asserts when abstinence is at
tempted by its victim. Man, he said,
was prevented from realizing the con-
dition of his spiritual self by the grad
ual transition wrought by the inroads
of sin, which, coming upon him so
gradually and almost imperceptibly
made it's presence most forcibly known
when the sinner attempted to shake it
off
After impressing his hearers with
the thraldom of sin he exhorted them
to break away from it's grasp before
its power became stronger, and called
upon those who desired to make such
an effort to come forward. Several ac-
cepted the invitation extended. There
were many young men in the con-
gregation, and the pastor addressed
them particularly, expressing his graf
itude at their attendance.
At the morning service Rev. T. D.
Ellis, presiding elder, delivered a very
forceful sermon, his subject being the
perfectness of Christ. His text was
a portion of the 18th verse of the 4th
chapter of Hebrews: "In all points
tempered like as. we are, yet without
sin" Christ, he said. filled completely
our ideal of perfect man, illustrating
the attributes which would be expect
ed from the God head.
