Old Santa Claus visited Wall street
today and called at Uncle Sans sub
treasury where he filled his sack.
He took out nearly 50 1000, 000 in bright,
shining silver coins of the latest vim
tage and in the brightest of yellow
eagles and double eagles. Only the
newest and crispest dollar bills and
certificates would suit him. Then he
went around to many brokerage and
banking houses, where he distributed
his packages the recipients ranging
from little messengers to managing
clerks and future partners. 1t is es-
timated that over $3,000,000 will be
distributed by the rich bankers and
brokers in Wall street to their BUSH

Christmas holiday week. Last year
when the stockings were emptied it
was found that the total amount OF

 No. We have yet to find that out. But he is quite satisfied from the hints of the late Mrs. Jersey that a marriage did take place"
 "Whew! What means did you take to force him to recognize you?'
 T used no force at all" responded Brendon very dryly.
 Lord Darlington would not climb down unless he were made to-"
 "As a matter of fact he did. The olive branch was held out by him. All this is none of your business, MT. Bawdsey, and only tell it to you to clear the ground for what am about to say"
 First, MT. Brendon, should like to know your exact position
 s'Oh, that is easily explained, and there IS no reason why you should not know what all London will know soon. Lord Darlington will join with me in searching for the register of marriage, and meanwhile will recog- nize me as his grandson and the heir to his estates. In q fortnight 1 leave my Kensington rooms and take up my residence with Lord Darlington in St. Giles square. Then shall assume my real name of George Vane." And you will marry Miss Ward, suppose?' That is entirely my business" said George placidly. You will gain noth- ing by insolence, Bawdsey.' The man rose with wounded air. Upon my word, MT. Vane," he said, giving George his correct name to show that he recognized his new DO. gition, T have not the slightest inten- ! ton of being insolent. I am glad for your sake that things are as they are, and pleased for my own, since Lola may now give up thoughts of you and | turn to me-"

 George picked up the paper again and read rapidly. No name was men toned, as 1t said that the strange lady who had been arrested refused to give any name. It seemed that she went to Wargrove church and asked to see the registers for certain year-the regis ters of marriage The sexton took the fee and showed the books. Then 1t appeared that the strange lady search ed for an hour. The sexton left the vestry for a few minutes. When he returned he saw that she had torn q page out of the book. Being taken by surprise she had tried to conceal her theft, but the sexton seized her, res cued the torn page and called for as sistance. The end of it was that the strange lady-who was described as having a foreign air-was arrested and placed in prison. Tt is Lolar said George breathlessly.

 George gave a cry. "Wargrove," he said, "Wnrgrove in Essex. It was in the parish church that the marriage took place. And, Lola knew-Lola''- He paused. The eyes of the two men met.

His eyes were caught by a cross heading, Strange Affair Tn an Essex Church." and by the words destruction of the regis ters." Just as he was about to glance over the article, never thinking what 1t meant to him, Bawdsey returned with the nlne and two glasses. He uttered an exclamation of dismay when he saw the paper in Georges hand.
 Hang 1t, never meant you to see that!' he said.
 ''Why not?" replied George. "Ts 1t this news about lady trying to tear the registers?,' He started and looked at Bawdsey, who was uneasy and pale. Its Lolag' said George.

 "a s George stopped out of the
 front door he came face to
 face with Bawdseg. who was
 mounting the steps. The man seemed excited and carried careless ly folded newspaper which he had apparently been reading.
 T didn't expect to see you here,' he said, with a certain degree of rough ness. .F
 sT did not know that this house was 1nterdicted to me-" replied Brendon sharply. sT am glad to meet you, however. as I wish to have few words
 T am too busy to give you any time" retorted Bawdsey, and tried to enter the house.
 .sNevertheless you will give me a quarter of an hour," said George, blocking the doorway with his stal- wart form. "What I have to say can not be left until a more convenient period
 T tell you I am busy, MT. Bren- don"
 And tell you that intend to have this interview rejoined Brendon fmperiousiy. "You talk great deal about gratitude, Bawdsey, yet you are unwilling to put yourself out for me 5n the least degree"
 Bawdsey became penitent at once. Tt is true, Mir. Brendon, but am very worried" He cast glance at the newspaper in his hand. ''Howev- or. you have first call upon my time. " No more words passed. Bawdsey snounted the stairs and led George into a well remembered room. Brendon took a chair, and Bawdsey, with an anxious look, threw himself into an other. The mans face was flushed, his red hair was in disorder, and his eyes were bright. As a rule he was calm and self controlled, so George conjectured that something particu- larly important must have occurred to upset him.

]. F. Jones. a white man, was tried
yesterday in the Superior Court for
forgery, and was acquitted. The cir
cumstances of Jones arrest are pecu-
liar. He was taken in charge by the
police on one charge, and while he was
being searched. a forged check on the
Citizens Bank was found in his pocket.
The name forged was that of Mr.. d.
J. Morrison. The check called for SIS.
On the charge of forgery he was turn
ed over to the Superior Court and was
indicted.
When the verdict of not guilty was
returned Judge Cam said There is
no reason why a man of your apparent
intelligence should not be able to earn
an honest living. The court learns that
YOU have been in trouble before, and II

Court for Assault.

John Lanzy's Trial in Superior
Court for Assault.
AT O'Clock last night Superior
Court jury returned verdict of not
guilty in the case of the state against
John Lanzy, charged with criminal
assault on 11-year-old Clara Sheldon.
Both the defendant and the prosecutrix
are colored. The boy is said to be
Is years old.
Attorney Solicitor General Charlton
appeared for the state and the de-
Tense was conducted by Raiford Fall
ligant. More than half an hour was
consumed in securing a jury. The de-
Tense exhausted nearly all of it's chal-
lenges though only one of the panel
was rejected by the state. One juror
disqualified on the ground that he was
| opposed to capital punishment.
When Lanzy was arraigned he APP
peared to fully realize the gravity of
his position. He was prompted
throughout by his attorney. During
the selecting of the jury he never once
took his eyes from the clerk seeming
to be under the impression that it
was Will nm IildL Ills late IGSlGu.
There was little evidence brought
| out by the state in addition to the de-
tails given in the Morning News at
the time Lanzy was arrested. The
| girl was the first witness called and
| she told her story in a straight for
ward manner and chung to it persist
emily under rigid examination.
She stated that she had met Lanzy
Sunday afternoon, Aug. Z, on the

| to accompany her on an errand. She
had refused, but instead of turning
! away Lanzy, stephen Holmes, and
| Mingo Bond followed her down the
| road. Bond took no part in the as
sault the girl said. AS soon as the
boys left she went home and report
ed the case to her mother and on the
day following variant for the boys
arrest was taken out before Justice
Mendel.
Though Bond corroborated the story
in many details, he claimed that the
| girl had gone with the boys.
In his behalf Lanzy stated that he
had met the girl and that she asked
him for dime, which he had refused.
She left him and went on about her
business and he saw no more of her
until a day or two later he asked her
about the tales she was telling" The
next ne knew OF the case was When
she had him arrested.
The boys father was a character
witness for his son and other colored
people who lived in the neighborhood
were called to testify to his character.
After about quarters of an
hours elaboration the jury returned
a verdict of not guilty.
Attorney Frank McIntire, who was
to represent Stephen Holmes under
prosequi as the evidence against
Holmes was weaker than that against
Lanzy.

RECEIVER NAMED
FOR MEDLoCK ESTATE.
Deputy Sheriff MeIdrim Take
Charge of the Business.

Charge of the Business.
Mr.. W. B. Stubs filed an applica-
ton in the Superior Court yesterday
for a receiver for the estate of the
late C. H. Medlock and asked that
a temporary restraining order be
granted restraining creditors of the
estate from foreclosing mortgages. The
application was made by Mr.. Stubs
as temporary administrator.
The petition states that when the
temporary administrator took charge
of the estate he found that the entire
stock of the aSvannah District Mes
senger & Delivery Co., was owned by
Mr.. Medlock. OF the 100 shares, fifty
had been mortgaged to Mr.. I. d. La
Roche, to secure loan. Other prop
erty is mortgaged to Mr.. John Law
ton. Both of these mortgage holders
have threatened to foreclose.
If a foreclosure is allowed the bust
ness will be ruined, i'm the opinion or
Mr. Stubs To avoid this he asks
that a receiver be named for the con-
Germ and that temporary restraining
order be granted denying the mort
gage holders the right to foreclose. 1t
is further prayed that all persons hold
ing claims against the estate be or
dered to interplead i'm the above ac-
ton.
After reading the petition Judge Cam
appointed Deputy Sheriff l.. X. Mel
drim receiver and he took charge of
the business at once. The temporary
restraining order was granted and the
mortgage holders were directed to APP
pear before the court, Oct. 10, and
show cause why an injunction should
not issue. All persons holding claims
against the estate are ordered TO in
terplead in the above cause.

Della CIaghOrn Treated Interrupt
tiOns StrenuOusly.
Della Claghorn, colored, was investi-
gated yesterday in the Jail ON lunacy
charge. The evidence showed that
Della is unbalanced. She has con-
tracted the habit of talking all man
ner of things, principally to herself,
and of INDUCING philosophic ar
guments to the spirited-haunted air.
When engaged in this intense spiritual
conversation. Della scorns all inter-
ruptions.
1t is her strenuous manner of put
ting an end to interruptions that
makes her dangerous to be at large.
When she sits down to begin her pseu-
do-philosophical discourses with the APP
parently empty air, she always sees
to it that the ak is handy. Once or
twice the shouts of the children playing
nearby has interrupted her mental
nominations and Della, in true Indian
style, has made descents upon them
with the ak.
After hearing the evidence the jury
declared the woman insane, and order
ed her sent to Milledgeville for treat
ment She will be kept at the Jail for
safety until the authorities are ready
to receive her.

ROBERT L. JONES WELL
KNOWN IN SAVANNAH.
He Had Quite a Record in COnnec-

He Had Quite a Record in COnnec-
ton With Merrimac Episode.
Mr.. Robert L. Jones, who died IN
Atlanta Wednesday from injuries re-
ceived while getting out of his buggy.
was well known in Savannah. and
throughout the state. He was in Sa-
vannah several months ago during the
strike of the union bricklayers on the
Germania Bank building. as a special
representative of the contractor, Mr..
Grant Wilkins of Atlanta. He was as
signed to the very delicate duty of
pacifying the men. and keeping union
workmen from interfering and making
the other laborers dissatisfied.
During the Spanish American War
Mr. Jones was a yeoman in the Ameri-
can navy, and was aboard Admiral
SIMPSONS flagship New York, during
the engagements around the Cuban
ports.
When volunteers were called for to
accompany Lieut.. Hobson on the for
lorn hope to blow up the Merrimac in
the channel of the Santiago harbor,
Mr.. Jones was one of the first to vol
unteer but was not among the crew
of six men who were finally selected.
He was, however, selected on a crew
to assist in putting the Merrimac in
place.
Just before the last launch put off
from the Merrimac on the night she
was blown up, Jones was discovered
secreted in a coal bunker, where he
had hidden himself to assist in making
the final preparations for sinking the
ship. For this disobedience he was put
in irons for months.
At the close of the war he went with
Gen. Brooks army in Cuba as a vet
Urinary surgeon.
While in Savannah Mr.. Jones made
many friends, and the news of his
death was received here with much re-
greet.
