NEGRO WOMAN DIES
IN POLICE STATION.
Left Her Home and Found on Street
in Dying Condition.


Found at Perry lane and Whitaker
street at 4 o'clock yesterday morning
and carried to the police station, Addie
Smith, negro woman, died before
medical assistance could arrive.
DR.. w. E. Norton, who arrived only
minute or two after the woman died,
says death was due to heart disease,
brought on by kidney trouble, but the
woman's husband, James Smith, was
arrested by Detectives Bostick and
some hours afterwards.
The woman lived in the basement of
house on Liberty street, about half
block from where she was found.
She was first discovered by two young
men. They saw her going down the
lane Keeling like a drunken person. She
staggered and fell against the Masonic
Temple and then to the ground, strik-
ing her head with considerable force.
She was screaming with pain, and the
young men notified the police. 1t was
at first thought that the woman was
drunk.
The patrol wagon was sent for, and
1t was then discovered that the wom-
oil WAS III d serious cOndltlOn. She
died almost as soon as she was lifted
from the wagon and laid on the floor
in the police station. The woman's
husband, who was sleeping with her.
when she got up and left the home
did not know of her death until he was
arrested.
Smith states. that he did not get
home Saturday night until after II
o'clock, and that his wife was then
in bed, asleep. Later he was aroused
by hearing her get up to quiet the
baby, he says. He spoke to her and
remembers seeing her go out the door,
but he thought she was only stepping
out into the yard for a moment and
dropped off to sleep again. He says he
slept late, and when he got up he
hurried off to work, after turning the
baby over to a woman next door to
care for He says he thought his wife
had simply gotten up early and gone
out somewhere, and that she would be
back soon.
Because of the peculiar circum-
stances under which the woman died it
was thought for a time that she may
have been poisoned. There was a ru-
NOR that she and her husband had had
a quarrel Saturday, but this could not
be verified. She had not been struck,
and DR.. Norton says she was not pois-
oned. Coronel Keller was notified of
the woman's death and permission was
given to remove the body

NO FURTHER NEWS OF
LIEUT.. ROBERTS DEATH,

The announcement in the Morning
News yesterday of the death at Fort

friends of the young officer. No fur
Their information than that contained
in the Morning News dispatches has
been learned by the family, as to the

been impossible to get any telegraphic
communication with Fort Riley since
Saturday night. 1t is presumed, how

Lieut. Roberts was well known in Sa-
vannah, and the members of the be-
reaved family have received many ex-
pressions of sympathy. At st. Johns

a touching manner to the untimely

FIRST FROST FALL
OF THE SEASON.
Weather Bureau Notifies Truck
Farmers of Indications for This
Morning,

Farmers of Indications for This
Morning.
Light frost fell in Savannah and vi
entity for the first time this fall yes
terday morning. and the forecast for
this morning indicates that there will
be a heavier frost.
By means of long distance telephone
the local Weather Bureau advised
truck farmers in the neighborhood of
Savannah yesterday of the frost which
is expected this morning. According
to the forecast the frost will extend
to the extreme northern portion of
Florida.
So light was the frost here that
very few people knew of it, as it was
barely discernible. The precipitation
was not sufficient to do any harm to
vegetation. The first light frost last
year was on Oct. 26, three days later
than this year. The earliest killing
frost on record was on Nov. l, 1874.
The average date of the falling of
killing frost is Nov. q.
The minimum temperature in Sa-
vannah yesterday was at a. m. when
40 degrees We're registered. The maxi
mum of 81 degrees was at p. m.
While it is not anticipated that the
frost which will fall this morning will
cause serious damage to the tenderest
vegetation, all truck farmers accessi-
BILE were notified as a precautionary
measure. A killing frost would do
no damage to the cotton crops now,
the only ones to suffer being the
truck farmers.

LYING AND DIVORCE,
THE MODERN EVILS.
DR.. John ID. Jordan Discussed These
Questions in Sermon.


Is lie ever justified? No.
Is divorce and remarriage justified
from the Scriptures? Yes.
These two questions We're discussed
by Rev. DR.. John d. Jordan in his
sermon at the First Baptist Church
last night and were answered as given
in the foregoing.
Though divorce is justified by the
| Scriptures, DIR. Jordan said the ground
for it is very narrow. Inhdelity alone
justifies divorce, he stated. The guilty
party should not be allowed to marry
again. but the innocent one should.
Remarriage after a divorce obtained on
any other ground than infidelity is
adultery, he stated. and quoted nine
teenth chapter of Matthew to prove the
statement.
Modern, general divorces, are not
justified, DIR. Jordan declared, and no
grounds to support them can be found
in the Bible No church has any bust
ness making rules on divorce. said DR..
Jordan The one ground laid down in
the Bible alone justities divorce, he
said, and no divorce should be grant
ed for any other reason. With all
the various churches legislating on
QlNOICe llGIe WOulQ DC INT ullllOoI NOi+-
fusion, he said.
THE Church of England" said DIR.
Jordan, lis now trying to make rule
against all divorces, and if it hadn't
been for divorce there would never
have been any Church of England. 1t
was because the Church of Rome would
not allow Henry VIII to divorce his
wife, and marry the woman he want
ed to, that he founded the Church of
England. There should be more preach
ing on marriage and less on divorce.
If people would investigate more care
fully before marrying, less would be
heard of divorces"
DR.. Jordan rOundly scored the wom-
en- who marry simply to get home
and to be supported, also the men who
marry simply TO get a cook" 1T
would be better for a man to live an
old bachelor and die of indigestion"
he said. than to marry simply be-
cause he needed some one to look
after his home. A woman who mar
ries simply to be taken care of sells
herself and disgraces her womanhood.
A man who marries to get a woman
to work for him and take care of his
house insults God and womanhood and
brings disgrace on his own man
hood"
On lying, Dr. Jordan dwelt as long,
or longer, than on divorce. In the BIZ
BILE he said the liars were put down
together with characters that could
not even be mentioned In public He
was afraid that George Washington
has no successor to-day. He spoke
for some time on the evil of carrying
false reports. Lying and divorce, he
declared, were the two great modern
evils
In his prayer Immediately after the
sermon he asked that the people be
given proper understanding of the
sacredness of the marriage vows.

BIG CIRCUS WILL ARRIVE
AT 6 THIS MORNING.
Another Day of Decentralization for
Young Folks of Savannah.

Another Day of DemOra for
Young Folks of Savannah.
Decentralization will reign among
juvenile Savannahians to-day.
The Forepaugh-Se Sells Brothers big cir
Gus will reach Savannah this morning
at o'clock and at 10 the big parade
will wind it's glittering length through
the street to the accompanying strains
of a dozen brass bands, a shrieking
calliope and the clatter of innumerable
hoofs
The advent of the largest CIRCUS in
the world is a matter to be counted
much in the life of the average small
boy and girl. 1t means much to the
head of the household from the requi-
sitions that are made on the family
purse for the price of admission it
means much to anxious mothers who
are ever solicitous about the safety of
the youngsters in the large crowds it
means much to the school teachers
who find it almost impossible to di-
rect the aim of the young idea just
learning to shoot; it means much to
business men, the police, the street
car companies, the lunch vendors and
the circus people themselves, but
most of all it is a history making
event in the life of Young America.
Forepaugh & Sells is a household
word over the entire country. The
show is acknowledged as one of the
largest ever conceived of it's kind. Ow-
ing to the laws of Georgia, which OPP
poses the running of freight trains
on Sunday, the show did not leave
Augusta, where it appeared Saturday,
until u o'clock last night, and will
reach Savannah at 5 o'clock this
morning. Mr. j. H. Davis, press rep
resentative of the show, reached Sa-
vannah last night and reports fatter-
ing business everywhere the show has
appeared.
The circus will arrive in three sec
lions. There are in all seventy-six
cars, each sixty feet long. So eXpe-
ditiously do the S17 people on the cir
Gus pay roll handle the contents of
these trains, it is possible to COM
mence the exhibition in four hours
after the cars have been put in po-
sition.
The loading and unloading of an
American circus has attracted the at
tention of the military powers of the
world manv of whom have sent at
taches to this country to travel with
the shows and mark the marvellous
system exercised in performing the
great task each day. To older people
this is the most interesting feature
of the appearance of the larger cir
cuses.
The Forepaugh & Sells circus is val
ued at $4,000, 000 The tent now used
is said to be the largest ever manu-
featured. There are five center poles
to the main tent. Three rings and
one stage are used in the perform
ances, as many as twelve acts being
in progress at one time.
Four hundred horses are transport
ed with the show, 16 elephants, q cam
els and there are S17 people on the
pay roll. The daily expenses of the
show are in excess of $4,000. The pa
rade is a mile long. MIR. Louis Sells
is the general manager
The parade will traverse all of the
principal business districts of the city,
leaving the grounds at 10 o'clock.

POLICE WATCHING FOR
CROOKS WITH CIRCUS.
Public Will BE Protected by the
Plain Clothes Mem

Fubnc VIII he Protected by the
Plain Clothes Men.
The police are to pay particular at
tention to-day to the crooks who are
supposed to have come along with the
circus.
From every city where the circus
has been, reports have come of rob-
berries, and other crimes. To protect
the public the plain clothes men of
the department, as well as a number
of regular officers, will be on hand.
Not only are the police going to look
out carefully for the crooks who are
thought to be following the show, but
the circus people themselves will be
told certain things which must not
happen.
There were complaints of people be-
ing short changed by the ticket SELL
ers of the circus that was recently
here. There is no reason to expect
that anything of the kind will happen
with the show here now but the DO
lice will notify them anyway that if
complaints are made the men in the
box will be arrested.

Streets That Business Was Being
Done EARLY Yesterday Morning
AS a result OF the alleged boldness
Of the trafficers in liquor in the vicin-
sly of the Union Station the police, at
one fell swoop, early yesterday morn
dng, saw things that have caused the
docketing of cases against eleven sa-
doom proprietors.
The defendants are charged with
having their places of business open
and doing business after midnight, the
specific time being mentioned in each
case.

Those on the Docket.
It soon became noised about the
streets that a number of docket cases
had been made. and there was con-
sternation among the liquor dealers,
both on the West Side and downtown.
There were no cases, however, made
against any of the downtown places

viii Hear Cases Wednesday.
SUbpoenas will be sent out from po-
lice headquarters this morning and the
cases will be set for trial in Police
Court for Wednesday morning.
1t is alleged that some of the places
in the vicinity of the Union Station
had reached such a degree of boldness
that they even neglected to pull down
their curtains during the early morn
ing hours. Side doors, it is claimed,
have been thrown wide open, and the
fact that the places have been running
full blast after hours have been no
ticed from the streets, it is claimed.
The alleged fact that business was
being conducted almost in full view
of passersby, and that no effort was
being made at secrecy is said to have
attracted the attention of the police,
and resulted in the docketing Of the
cases. So far as outside appearances
were concerned there was considerable
difference in the appearance of things
in the vicinity of the railroad station
last night.

WOMAN IN CASE
REFUSES TO TALK.

Pinkey Washington, the negro wom-
an held at the police station on sus-
picion in connection with the killing
of Caesar Wilson in Yamacraw Fri
day night refuses absolutely to give
any information in regard to the homi-

Bob Pritchard has admitted doing
the killing but claims that Wilson had
a knife drawn and was attempting to
cut him. The police believe the woman
can throw some additional light on
the case. 1t was about her that the
men had quarreled several hours be-
fore the killing occurred.

Command May Get Ont of state serv-
ice by Common Consent.
1t is now certain that whatever ac-
ton is taken by the Oglethorpe Light
Infantry, as a result of the dismissal
from the service of their captain, and
the suspension of their first lieutenant,
will be by the company. and not by
the members individually.
The company will decide whether to
remain in the state service, and the
action of the individual members will
be controlled by it's action. This is
definitely stated by officers of the
command.
Capt Hitch has not yet received his
order of dismissal. He expected to re-
ceive it yesterday and was surprised
to find that it was not in his morn
ing's mail. 1t will probably come to-
day.
There will be a meeting of the COM
pany tonight. Second Lieutenant Cox
will be in command. 1t is not proba-
BILE that the matter will be brought up
at this meeting, but a little later on.

WONDERING WHY THEY
DIDN'T LOSE MORE.
Savannah Men Say Gray Was N
Most Engaging TaIISer.

Savannah Men Say Gray Was a
Most Engaging TaIker.
Mr.. Leon Ferst, a member of one
of the firms, which was swindled by
Samuel D. Gray, who was arrested in
Porto Rico. says he is surprised that
Gray did not get more money out of
the merchants here than he did, he
was such smooth talker. Mr.. Ferst
says he would have gladly let him have
a larger bill of goods, and he thinks
others would also have favored him.
Gray imperSonated Nathan Mayo, of
Summerfield, Fla, here. Mr.. Mayo
has store. and had been a regular
patron of a number of the Savannah
firms, but had never been to Savan
nah, and was not known personally
here. Gray when he first came to
Savannah introduced himself to Mr..
Oscar Kulman, of the Savannah Wood
enware Company and later bought a
bill of goods from Mr.. Kulman. These
goods, however, were shipped to the
town of the real Mayo, SO that the
woodenware company did not lose.
1t was through this shipment that
the Savannah firms learned they had
been victimized. The real Mayo wrote
Mr.. Kulman acknowledging the re-
ceipt of the goods, but stating he had
not ordered them. Mr.. Kulman at once
wired Mr.. Mayo to come to Savannah,
as some one had been here represent
ing to be him, and ordering goods The
firms given in the Morning News yes
terday are the only ones that are
known to have been swindled The
total of the amount secured from Sa-
vannah merchants is less than $1,000
and probably not more than $500 or
$500.
The merchants are going to try to
make the railroads handling the goods
pay for them, as they were shipped
to Nathan Mayo and were delivered
to Gray, who was palming himself off
as Mayo. Though the merchants We're
themselves fooled by Gray they want
to make the railroad pay for also be-
ing fooled.
Gray, according to the Savannah mer-
chants who were swindled by him, is
a man of engaging manners, a smooth
talker, and has an open, frank cOun-
tenance, that would lead almost any
one to trust him.
