THIEF WISHED VICTIM
MERRY CHRISTMAS

Mr.. w. r. Leaken, United States at
torney for this district. received a
unique Christmas present Wednesday,
but, because of the circumstances con-
nected with it, he would prefer not to
receive any more in future.
Mr.. Leaken was in the postoffice
building Monday night just prior to
leaving for Macon, and while in the
corridor came in collision with a man.
Mr.. Leaken thought possibly he had
been to blame for the collision so apol-
ogized, then went to the train, think
ing no more about the matter.
When he entered the train, however,
and sought to present his ticket, he
found that he was without his pocket
book which contained not only his
ticket and Pullman berth ticket but
substantial sum of money as well. He
thought he might have left his pocket
book at home and not having time to
return for it he secured other trans
portation and continued his trip to
Macon.
He returned to Savannah Wednes-
day and the very first letter that he
received in his mail was one enclosing
the stolen ticket and berth check and
a piece of paper in which the thief,
who had taken the pocketbook when
he jostled Mr.. Leaken in the postoffice,
had written his best wishes for a
Merry Christmas.

of the matter yesterday a member Of
the corps said:
We have met with fair success in
our movement, though the amount
collected was not as large as we had
hoped for. We have now completed all
our arrangements and with the excep-
ton of the preparing of some of the
details we are all ready to give the
dinner. We have prepared for at least
200 and will no doubt serve about fifty
more before we have concluded"
Yesterday the members of the army
were busy distributing the baskets
containing a Christmas dinner among
different families throughout the city.
In all sixty baskets were distributed.
Each basket contained enough eatables
to supply family Of five persons. The
bill of fare included turkey or chicken,
celer|. cranberries and oranges,
fruits and cakes. In many of the
baskets there was placed box of can
dy for the little ones and in some of
them several toys were slowed away.
The entertainment for the children
has been postponed until New Years
night. 1t was at first intended to have
the Christmas tree on New Years
Eve, but owing to a conflict in dates
between this tree and one which had
been prepared by one of the city
churches, the army postponed their
will be rendered at that time by the
children, after which the gifts will be

ROUGH HOUSE ON TRAIN
LANDS MAN IN BARRACKS.

Thomas Pinckney, a negro of Wood
bine, who tried to raise a rough

80 yesterday, when within a short dis
lance of Savannah, was arrested upon
the arrival of the train, and is now
held at the barracks on the charge of
carrying concealed weapons.
The negro, VINO was fairly drunk.
began using profane language in the
presence of ladies on the train, and
when told to stop by the news agent
told the agent that he would do as he
pleased and that the news man couldn't
stop him. At the same time he drew
a six-shooter from one pocket and put
it in another within easy reach of his
right hand. Later he seemed to fear
that he might get into trouble about
the matter, and so got a friend to take
charge of the weapon. This man was
located on the train and the pistol re-
covered.
On the same train another negro was
arrested and put in the Savannah bar
racks on the charge of being drunk
and diSorderly.

SHRINERS GAVE MANY
CHRISTMAS DINNERS.

Alec Temple, Mystic Shriners, made
it's usual Christmas contribution to the
poor of the city yesterday. About 400
baskets, each holding articles for one
or more meals for an entire family,
were distributed. Everything that
could be needed for a good dinner, in
some cases several of them, included.
Many of the baskets were prepared in
the home of the members of the tenn
pie, while Others were prepared by a
committee which bought the things
with cash donated in lieu of baskets.
The work of distribution was in the
hands of a committee of twenty, and
it was well done, so that few baskets
were left undelivered at o'clock in the
afternoon. Alec Temple spends from
$500 to $1,000 in this charity every
Christmas and a conservative estimate
is that in this way their bounty reaches
at least thousand persons.

There is a belief that Gov. Terrell
will name Col George T. Cam to the
judgeship made vacant by the death of
Hon. Pope Barrow.
Although a successor to Judge Bar
row will be chosen by the people at
the primary to be held in May the ap-
pointment of a successor will mean a
commission from the Governor until
Jan. l. 1905, at which time the candi-
date elected by the people will take his
seat.
The name of T. p. Ravenel, Esq,
has also been prominently mentioned
among members of the bar, and others.
Mr.. Ravenel has an influential backing
of friends, who would be glad to see
