Died in Il short WhiIe-Freight
Bill for George ID. Gould on His
PersOn-POIice Unable to Learn His
Identity.
With nothing to disclose his identity,
the body of a middle-aged man is
in the undertaking establishment
of Thomas Hnderson's Sons until some
one claims it. The man was taken
fatally ill on a south bound. trolley car
on the Whitaker street line late yes
terday afternoon and died a short while
later at the Park View Sanitarium.
There was nothing on the mans per-
son to show who he was or where he
came from. He had paid his last nickel
to the conductor on the car and a
freight bill was the only thing found
in his pockets, with the exception of
a soiled handkerchief. The stranger
boarded a south bound car at Whitaker
and Harris street, and within block
paid the conductor his fare. At that
time he was seemingly in good health.
Suddenly he doubled up with pain.
The conductor and those on the car
tried in every way to learn something
about his condition and to ascertain
where he lived. but without success. At
Thirty-third street he was critically ILL.,
and was lifted from the car to the Of
flee of DR.. A. A. Morrison. The doc
tor worked on the stranger for an hour
without being able to afford him any
relief, or to place him in a state where
he could ten anything of himself. The
police ambulance was summoned, and
the sick man was taken to the SANTA
rum, where he died a very short while
later.
No one could be found who knew the
man, and his remains were turned over
to Thomas Henderson's Sons, to be held
for identification. In his pocket was

er was about AZ years of age and had
a beard with a tinge of gray. He
wore kid gloves and was seemingly a
man in moderate circumstances. From
his appearances he may have either
been farmer or a ship captain. His
upper teeth were all missing. DR.. Nor
rfson stated that death was due to
congestion of the kidneys. The sud-
den death was reported at police head
quarters, but up to an early hour this
morning the police had been unable to
have the man identified

NEARLY BURNED TO DEATH.
5-Year-OId Child Wrapped in
Flames From Crate.

Flames From Crate.
Robert J. johnson, the 5-months-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. W. w. Johnson
of No. 662 Lavinia street, while sit
ting in baby rocking chair in front
of a fireplace yesterday about noon,
was seriously burned about the face,
hands and feet. A wood fire was
burning I'm the CRATE and one of the
lighted sticks of wood, too long for the
basket of the CRATE, fell out on the floor
beneath the child. His clothing was
ignited and the little one, unconscious
Of danger, sat quietly watching the
play of fire on the other sticks in the
CRATE.
Mia, the 4-year-old sister of Robert.
going into the room about that time,
saw the baby's dress on fire Under
standing the danger, she ran out into
the back yard where the mother was
and gave the alarm. crying that the
baby was on fire.
The mother rushed into the room
where the child still sat, the fire hav-
ing caught the side Of the chair and
the pillow on which the child was seat
ed, and having crept up from
there to the clothing around
the child's body and arms. and tried
in her excitement to tear the burning
clothes from the baby. Failing to ac-
complish that because of injury to her
hands from the flames, she abandon
ell her efforts, and rushed into a
bedroom on the same floor to secure a
blanket with which to smother the
flames. Then for the first time real
izing that her husband was in the
house, he having come in a short while
previous and gone to bed, she
called to him to extinguish the flames
which had by that time reached the
upper part of the outer garments and
was burning the child's face.
Mr.. johnson Jumped from bed, as
soon as he could awaken to
the realization of what was
hapenning, snatched blank
ct and rush into the room where the
child was then lying, and wrapping the
little one securely in the blanket er-
fectually smothered the fire.
When the child was unrolled from
the blanket, the remains of the burned
clothes removed and the SCOT washed
away, 1t was found that its cheeks
and lips were burned its hands badly
blistered, and its feet and legs burned
seriously.
DR.. Elliott was summoned and
responded quickly. He dressed
the wounds and administered all pos
sible relief to the little sufferer. He
says that unless the child has inhaled
some of the flames it will recover. This
could not be determined yesterday. At
late hour last night the child was
resting quietly.

BURGLAR IN LAWYERS OFFICE
Policeman FOund Him Asleep in the
Barrister's Chair.

By the simple drawing of curtain
Patrolman Charles Collins was able to
detect burglary at O'Clock yester-
day morning and Charles Brooks, col
ored, was arrested.
The negro was discovered in the Of
fee of John E. Myrick. Esq, at Bull
and Bryan streets. and was asleep
when the patrolman entered. The at
torney had been missing coal and wood
from his office, and had also noticed
that, although upon closing his office
at night. the curtains were all raised;
i'm the morning they would be inva-
riably pulled down.
At first MIR. Myrick thought he might
be mistaken about the curtains and
that maybe after all he was not los
ing his fuel. He determined, how
ever, to set trap and learn whether
some one was really visiting his office.
AS usual on Thursday night he left
his curtains up and notified Patrolman
Collins that if they were down it would
be because there would be somebody
inside. The officer took the tip and
when he made Bull street at 8
O'Clock he saw that the curtains had
been pulled down.
Following instructions the patrol
man made his way to the lawyers Of
flee and, with dra wn revolver, forced
an entrance. He found the negro in
Mr.. Myrick's easy chair sound asleep.
Brooks had disca rded his collar and
tie and was having a high old time of
it all to himself. The surroundings
showed that he had entered through a
window. The negro was awakened
and sent to the police station on
charge of burglary. In Police Court
he was arraigned before Recorder My
rick and remanded for trial in the
City Court for entering the lawyers
office with intent to steal. Before
Judge Norwood, an hour later, his case
was continued at the request of his
counsel.

POLICE CHIEF TO GO.
Bets offered That All other City OR-
GERS VIII Remain in.

GERS VIII Remain in.
With the exception of the office of
superintendent OF police there will be
no changes in city officers at the first
meeting of the new Council, Jan. 26.
This bet is being offered without any
takers.
Although there has been considera-
present office holders, several offers
have been made to wager that with
the exception of the police chief there
will be no changes. 1t is conceded
among those who are on the inside
that a new superintendent of police
will be named, but the majority of
those who are supposed to know say
that there will be no other changes.
They say that the present office
holders have given perfect satisfaction
and that there is little chance of their
Being displaced. While this seems to
be the general opinion. there may yet
come 10 light other candidates, and
some surprises may be sprung. Thus
far only five applications for city Of
fees have been filed with Clerk of
Council Bailey.
DIR. John c. Haskell has filed his ap-
plication as city physician, and four
inspectors of naval stores have stated
their intention of appearing before

FOR THE BATTLE EXERCISES.
Preparations by First Regiment for
February 23.

A meeting of the field and staff Off
GERS of the First Regiment, at which
there was an excellent attendance of
the officers. of the First Infantry and
the commissioned officers of the Husr
sars and the Artillery, was held last
night in the officers room of the Reg
mental Armory. Plans for the parade
on the 18th, and for the battle exer-
cises were discussed and much bust
ness was transacted.
A school for instruction in the ex-
tended order was held, and by means
of blackboard the various orders
were explained by the commanding Of
ficers. Col Gordon also instructed the
officers in the matter of fire discipline,
which will play an important part in
the exercises.
A communication from the Adjutant
General was read, in which he asked
the pleasure of the regiment relative
to the state appropriation. He de-
sired to know whether the regiment
was in favor of a state encampment
or of continuing the armory rent to
minus companies lie OIlC6TS,
without discussion, voted unanimously
to have the armory rent continued
and to have state shoot, and Acting
AdJutant Richardson was instructed
TO communicate their desire to the
Adjutant General.

be no drill on Jan. 26, the regular drill
night, unless the company comman-
ders desire it. In that event thew
will notify Col. Gordon of their
desire for such drill, that he NAV
be present on the occasion.
This action was taken in view of
the fact that the Oglethorpes have
their minstrel show on that night, and
the other companies of the regiment
are anxious to aid them in every way
possible. Col. Gordon explained shat
this action was taken as an exception.

dent. The Oglethorpes were unable to
engage the theater for any other night
Capt. Gordon announced that there
would be no drill on that night by the
Hussars. that the men might attend
the performance and thereby aid the
Oglethorpes in their undertaking. He
extended an invitation to the regiment
to attend the bazaar which the Hus-
sars will give Feb. 9-19 He said that
arrangements had been made for the
accommodation and pleasure of the
visiting military and that the commit
tee hoped and expected to have a large
attendance from that source.
After the meeting a collation. was
enjoyed by the officers. There will be
another meeting of the field and staff
othcers of the regiment on Monday
night, at which the school of instruc-
ton will be continued and plans for
the parade and battle exercises dis
cussed. An acceptance has been re-
'ceived from Col. Usher Thomasson to
the battle exercises, and it is thought
that AdJt. Gen. Robertson will accept
in few days.
