BISHOP M'LEM0RE SAYS HE
WILL SEEK A DIVORCE.
The Only Solution of the Compiled
ties which Beset Him.

Bishop McLemore, the colored
preacher who was some time ago ar
rested on a charge of assaulting his
sister in-law, and who, on his trial in
the City Court, Friday, came out with
flying colors, has decided to seek a
divorce from his wife.
The trouble which resulted in his ar
rest grew out of his attempt to induce
his wife TO return to him. He had
gone to plead with her, he said, when
the other women in the room pro-
ceeded to make things warm for him.
At the trial he explained to the Judge
his mission and intention in calling at
the house, and said that he tried in
every way to gain his wife's affections.
The self-styled bishop and his wife
have been estranged for some time,
their separation having been source
of continuous worry to him. He has
appealed to members of his congre-
cation, to the police, and to his
friends to help him, but his wife is
obdurate. So the bishop, while still
cherishing the love which he swore
to always bear to her, says that SO
long as she declines to return to him,
the only solution is a severance of the
marital relation.
The bishop is well known in Savan-
nah, and his friends sympathize with
him in his domestic infelicity. He has
a large congregation at Sydney Park
where he holds forth every Sunday
morning and evening.

FAIR AND COLDER TO-DAY.
With Like Conditions and Fresh
Northwest Winds Tomorrow.

The prediction for to-day's weather
is fair and colder. The same condi-
tions will exist tomorrow, with the
wind blowing fresh from the northwest.
The change will be perceptible, and
the spring-like weather of yesterday
will again assume a wintry tinge.
The following is the report of the
conditions existing throughout the
country yesterday as reported by Local
ForecaSter Boyer:
THE moderate high pressure exist
ing yesterday over the South has COM
pletely disappeared, while the eastern
half of the country is covered with a
depression which has it's center in
Southeastern Canada. feeble Sec
ondary center is noted in the lower
Mississippi Valley. In consequence of
the depression rain has fallen over
most of the southern states during the
past twenty-four hours, with a light
fall of snow in the Ohio valley and
over portions of the lake region. High
err temperatures are shown over most
of the country east of the Mississippi
and somewhat lower temperature is re-
ported from Missouri, Kansas and
Northwest Texas, though no material
changes have occurred anywhere. A
thunder storm prevailed at Tampa dur
ing the night.

in the event the necessity for the in
surance no longer exists, he may with

which will allow him large annual div

against possible business reverses

WITH AID OF PHONE
FAIR SWINDLER SUCCESSFULLY
WORKED MERCHANTS.
HER IDENTITY UNKNOWN.
MORE OR LESS MYSTERY sHROUDs
THE AFFAIR.

In the Name of the MatrOn of the
Park View SanItarium the Tele-
phone Was Used on AdIer's-Nurse
at Sanitarium Was to Call for
GOOds-Attractive Young Woman
Followed Telephone Message and
Secured About $50 Worth of Stun.
Charge Was Made to Hospital
Superintendent and swindIe Was
Not Discovered Until Collector
Went Out.
The telephone has been assist
ing in another swindle, and
several Savannah merchants have
been the victims. A woman
whose identity is unknown and
around whose operations there is a
shroud of mystery, worked the game
successfully.
She secured from the store of Leo
pold Adler during December, goods
valued at in the neighborhood of $40
They were delivered to her from three
departments of the store and yet she
has not been apprehended. A telephone
message purporting to be from the
superintendent of the Park View San
itarium was received at Adlers. The
voice was a woman's, and it was said
that one of the nurses at the SANTA
rum would call at the store for some
goods. They were to be charged to the
superintendent.
On the same day a rather attractive
young woman called at the store, and
among other things selected a jacket
and a hat. She stated that she had
been sent by the superintendent to
make the purchases, and the goods
were delivered to her without ques-
ton, and were promptly charged.
The bill went out on the first
of the month and a day or
two ago Adler's collector fol-
lowed. Then it transpired that the
superintendent mad never authorized
any purchase and had received none
of the articles for which she had been
charged. An investigation was begun
Immediately, although the matter
was not reported at police headquar-
tiers.
To those who were interested in the
affair it was quite evident that the
fair swindler was one familiar with
things at the hospital, though she was
not then an inmate. Suspicion was
directed towards a young woman, but
no accusations were made, so far as is
known. She called at the store yester-
day in response to message and stat
ed that she had never received the
goods. Those who had made the sale
said that she was not the right per-
son. In the mean time those who have
lost are at sea. The police have not
been asked to find the mysterious
woman, and no arrests have been
made. 1t is not probable that any will
be. The losers. however, are deter
mined to ascertain who used the tele-
phone and who got the goods, and
ether developments are looked for.

THIRST FOR WHISKY
MADE HIM A F0RGER.
Member of Prominent Family
Forged Order for Overcoat.

Forged order Tor ONercOat.
Cursed by an Unsuitable desire for
strong drink, an 1S-year-old member
of a prominent Georgia family is a
prisoner at the police station house on
a charge of forgery. He was arrested
early last night by Patrolman Harmon
Miller, in the clothing store of NJ. Dry
fus, where he endeavored to secure an
overcoat on forged order from the
National Biscuit Company.
Genteel in appearance and manner,
the young prisoner aroused the sympa-
thy of the police when, with tears in
his eyes, he told his story and begged
them for Gods sake to keep the news
of his arrest from his mother. The
shock would kill her, gentlemen" he
said, land I'm thinking only Of her
now. 1 have never before been in Sc
rious trouble. although ! have been
wild, and have caused her to suffer
much pain"
TN only kid and this viii be a
lesson to me. I swear before you all
that never again will I touch a drop.
Liquor is responsible for my presence
here. / came to Savannah two days
ago with the intention of going to
work. 1 had been furnished money by
my brother. but 1t went into the sa-
looms. Liquor has been my curse and
l tried to get the overcoat so that l
could get more money for whisky. MY
arrest brings me to a realization of my
extreme folly, and has probably hap
pened for the best. 1t has brought me
to my senses and has taught me a les
son that l will never forget"
The forged order for the overcoat
was originally addressed to the Met
rOpolitan Clothing Company and the
young man endeavored to pass it there.
The manager was at supper at the
time and he carried IT to the Dryfus
store. There he changed 1t to read
Dryfus in place Of the Metropolitan
Company. Mr.. Dryfus was also at
supper and the young man was told
to call a little later.
When Mr.. Dryfus returned ne sus-
pected that the order was a forgery
and an officer was sent for. Upon the
return of the young man he was
placed under arrest and sent to the
police station. He made no defense
and frankly confessed his guilt. He
sent a telegram to his brother. through
the police. apprising him of his trou-
BILE and it is probable that the case
will be settled. The prisoner appears
genuinely penitent.

DOESN'T WANT HIS CHILDREN
TO CHANGE THEIR NAMES,

Edward Haskell filed his answer yes
terday in the Superior Court to the
petition of his wife, Hannah Victor
for the change of name of their chill
dren. In her petition the wife states
that the children live with her and are
supported by her, and themselves de-
sire that their names be changed from
Haskell to Victor.
But the father is unwilling that any
such change be made. He sets forth
in his answer that because of his nat
ural affection for them, he desires that
they retain his name. He says that it
is his purpose to leave them property.
which he wishes them to inherit in his
name. He asks that the court not
allow the request of the mother of the
children, and that her petition be dis
missed. The respondent is repre-
sented by Garrard & Meldrim.
