TWENTY One NABBED IN
STIFF GAME IN CELLAR
Officers Make Great Haul Of
CFappGFS

Two alarms of fire yesterday morn
ing, both coming within the hour, gave
the firemen a busy deal, although
neither blaze resulted in any consid-
cradle damage; certainly not exceed
ing ten dollars.
The first fire was at the home of
Mr. Wilson Ryals, on Brannon avenue,
and resulted from a spark upon the
roof 1t was very quickly eXtinguish-
ed
The second fire was at the home Of
Mr. w. B. Heys, corner Prince and
Church streets, and was likewise 4
single blaze. For a time it seemed
that much damage would be done, but
the fire was soon checked.
The department has thus responded
to four alarms in three days with nom
ihal damages resulting at each of the
Sres.

MISS BELLS STUDIO
Mr.. Bliss Knapp There Mon
day Night

1t is the privilege of all to hear a

to appoint a board of lectureship to
tell the people what Christian Science
is, to proclaim the truth about it 20
all in need; to declare to them that
He is mercy and surely He can see and
surely He could bless. Mr.. Bliss
Knapp is a member of the board of lee
tureship of the Mother Church, Bos-
ton, Mass, and fully fitted to give out
this truth. All are cordially invited

manifested in the beautiful and classic

GEORGIAN In Tolls OF
LAW in VIRGINIA
Caught After ID Years Of
of Liberty

Danville, Va, March 3.-ThOmas Ed
gar Sribling, who for five years has
been chief of police of Danville, under
the name of r. E. Morris, was arrest
ed here this afternoon as an escaped
murderer from Hamilton, Harris
county, Georgia prison. In 1897 he was
tried for murder, convicted and sen
fenced to life imprisonment. He e.
capped, pending a motion for new
trial.
Stribling coolly and promptly con
fessed when the requisition papers
were read to him. He was taken back
last night. Stribling is married and is
the father of ten children.
The arrest and exposure of the chief
Of police was made this afternoon hy
Secret Service Agent J. j. W. Smith,
and Deputy City Sergeant w. W.
Boisseau, and craeted a widespread
sensation.
His Past Well Covered.
For the last six years Stribling has
been living here, no one for moment
suspecting his identity. Efforts were
made a number of times to trace ~
some shady spot in his past life ii
criminal trials, but not an inkling OF
his prison career was brought out.
He was first employed as night watch
man for the Southern Express Com
pany.
Five years ago he was elected as a
patrolman on the Danville police force
and after serving six months was al
vanced to chief. His advancement
was due in a great measure to his
cool nerve and fearlessness, though
he was criticised severely for his al
most uncomfortable temper.
The election of a chief of police for
another term of two years was to have
been held tomorrow night and it was
generally thought that the incumbent
would be chosen to succeed himself,
although he was bitterly opposed by
Police Sergeant Bell

PRISONER is Still SICK
and TRIAL is Deferred
Nothing Done in the Stephen
son Case

There was no trial yesterday in
the case of Prof. D. T. Stephenson,
charged with assault and battery
upon a young lady at his photograph
ic studio here several days ago, the
alleged affair creating the greatest
interest and discussion here. Two
different dates this week were as
signed for a trial of the case, and
each time the young lady, with her
father and friends here, have come
to appear against the professor. But
there has been no trial, and it is a
matter of doubt as to when the case
will be called Professor Stephenson
continues i'll with fever at the county
jail, a fact which seems to thus far
preclude his appearance in court. AS
the city court will probably remain
in session two weeks longer, it is
quite likely that the professor may
recover sufficiently in the interim to
answer the charge against him

MAYOR and RECORDER
TO Be ONE OFFICIAL
So Runs Other View Of Re.
COfder Question

Apropos the recent suggestion made
in The Times-Recorder concerning
one view Of the changes that should
be made in case the bill proposed to
establish a recorders court should
become law, the other side of the
question has also been outlined and
explained.
Briefly stated, it is as follows:
Instead OF having two separate Of
ficials to fill the position of mayor
and recorder, the change contem-
plates that the mayors duties shall
be one. Under this view of the ques-
ton, the bill would be framed in
such manner as not to provide for
a separate official as recorder but
to delegate to the mayors court still
further and more definite jurisdic-
tion than characterizes it.
The changes in the powers of the
court, which would be termed the re-
corder's court, would bring about :
cessation of the appeals and Other
objections to the operation of the
mayors court under the restricted
conditions that now exist for the
governance of that judiciary The
changes, then, according to this view
would not contemplate a multiplied
tion Of officers, but merely an ampli-
fication of the powers and duties q
the mayor and the municipal court
whether it is termed a recorders
court or is given some other name
These suggestions are of special in
terest in view Of the fact that the
legislature will probably be called
upon to act on the matter at this
session, and because the other views
concerning the matter of organizing
the new court have already been voic-
ed IN the columns of The Times-Re-
corder

WILL ASK UNCLE SAM TO
MAKE ROAD STRAIGHT
Route to Be Directly Through
ADdeFSOnViIIe Park

In accordance with the expression
of opinion at the meeting of the
Board of Trade last night, a request
will be made of the United States
government to allow the Anderson
ville-Thomasville route to go direct
ly through the National Cemetery at
Andersonville instead of having it
make a detour of nearly two miles
around the park, as is, done at pres
ent.
A request will be made Of the gov
ernment not only that it allow the
route to be made direct by going
through the park, but that the gov
.ernment itself build the roadway
through the park 1t is believed that
the federal authorities will accede u
both requests, as Strengthening the
roadway will make it far more attrac-
tive and desirable in every way.
The entertainment committee re-
ported that the sale of tickets to the
banquet will be closed after Monday
so hat it is imperative that every one
wo wishes to attend will purchase d
ticket today. The sale of tickets al
ready made assures a good attend
ance at the banquet, but every effort
Is being made to have the attend
ance the most representative ever
seen at an occasion of this kind here

ubtion of the ten thousand circulars
