$50. 900 FIRE IN SAVANNAH.
Three Seaboard Air Line Warehouses
Destroyed.

Savannah, Ca, May 23.-The three
Seaboard Air Line Railway delivery
warehouses on River street were de-
stroyed by fire tonight with all their
contents. The contents were highly
inflammable and the flames gained
headway rapidly after the first blaze
was seen at 1880. Soon after the
fire was discovered an explosion was
heard. The entire fire apparatus of
the city fought the flames but could
do little. Fortunately the wind was
from the South and toward the har-
Dor and thus the fire was prevented
from spreading. The interior of the
warehouses was a seething furnace
when the firemen arrived on the
scene of action and it may never be
known how the fire originated. The
contents of the warehouses consisted
of miscellaneous freight belonging to
various shippers and thus it is ex-
,eedingly difficult to estimate the loss.
It is said that it will be around the
$4,000 mark.

A Girl of Forty at a Tea Party.

In the May American Magazine
James Montgomery Flagg, the wei!
known wit and illustrator, contributes
a piece with pictures about tea par
ties. It is entitled, Cream or Lem
on" Following is an extract descrlp-
tive of one of the girls at the party:
The girl was a slip of forty-in
spinach green corduroy and scarab
tippet, and large swaying meteorlc
mass of tarnished zinc and colored
glass which she wore suspended on
what ought to have been her chest.
1t made Paul think of the bumpers,
tug boats wear to protect their wish
bones from docks and things. She
had backed a curly-haired infant up
against a radiator and was talking
him to frazzle, while he smiled and
smiled, although scorching."

NAVAL STORES co. BANKRUPT.
Outstanding Account Of $25O,0OO Di.
rect Cause of Failure.

Macon, Ca, May 24.-Judge En-
ory Speer, of the Southern district of
Georgia, today admitted to bank
ruptcy the Yaryan Naval Stores Com
pany, a five million dollar concern
with plants at Brunswick, Ca, and
Gulfport, Miss. This action was taken
with the consent of the creditors OF
the concern and the officials of the
company jointly.
Judge w. H. FELTON,, president of
the Macon Railway and Light Com
pany and Central Georgia Power
Company, James S. Bradley, president
of the Yaryan Naval Stores Company,
and Homer T. Yaryan, vice president
of the company, were named recelv-
ers. They will operate it as a going
concern.
The Yaryan Company was credl-
tor of the American Naval Stores
Company to the extent of $4,000
at the time of the failure of the lat
ter company, and this account is still
outstanding. 1t is given as the dl-
rect cause of the receivership. The
Yaryan Company has the largest ma
val stores plant in the world at
Rrunswick with a capacity of 5000
gallons of turpentine, 800 barrels of
rosin and 1000 gallons of pine oil.
The Gulfport plant has one-third that
capacity. By a secret process they
utilize stumpage. 1t employs 2,5OO
men.
It was stated today that to shut
down for one day would cost the
company $4,000. 1t runs day and
night.

BEAT OFF FOUR HIGHWAYMEN.
Bank Messenger Saves Payroll and
WOrsts ASsailantS.

New York, May 22.-James T.
Wintress, a bank messenger, gave
battle in the street today to four
highwaymen, who leaped into his
carriage and attempted to wrest from
him the payroll of the Nathan Manu-
featuring Company. Resisting their
efforts to subdue him with rifle, a
revolver and clubs, he fought to such
good purpose that he saved the mon
ey, although he was shot in the arm
and his scalp laid open.
Policemen heard the shooting and
ran to his aid. At their approach
the highwaymen fed. One of them
was shot by bluecoat, another was
captured after thrilling chase, two
of them escaped.

SOciable to the Last.

Once there was a well-to-do Irish
man who found himself about to pass
away. He sent for his old friend
O'Connor to come and make his will.
Everything was ir readiness and the
dying man said:
Put down sob for masses for the
repose of my soul" The man scratch
ed away, and then O'Connor said:
What next, Mr.. Maloney?'
Put down 250tb to the Cork Or
phan asylum"
What next, Mr.. Maloney?'
PUT down 1,0001b for me brother
Pat; he don't deserve it, but I cant
carry it with me-
Finally the dying man said family:
Il think that is all I have to will. >
O'Connor looked at the little old
bank book, and said:
NO, Mr.. Maloney, there's tin
pounds yet
"O'Connor, put down that tin
pound to spend with the bhoys at my
funeral"
Mr.. Maloney, shall put it down
to spend going to the funeral or COM
ing back?"
The dying man lay very quiet for a
few moments, and with an effort re-
piled:
"O'Connor, put that tin pounds
down to spend goin' to the funeral,
for thin I'll be wild We. .'-Cassells

negro was supposed to have gone.
The bloodhounds made slow progress
in taking up the trail, but the tracks
seen were followed to the hut oc-
cupied by Sim Austin.
There was no sign of life here, but
evidences we're found indicating that
a fire had burned in the hut recently
and that cooking had been done in
the house.
A pair of shoes, supposed to be the
property of Richard Austin, were
found in a sack in the cabin.
Austin's father was found on an
other part of the plantation. He had
not occupied this house since it was
riddled with bullets few weeks ago,
when a posse thought it had Richard
Austin surrounded. The old man
was given a description of the shoes
and said that it fitted the shoes worn
by his son.
About 25 men composed the OIL
GERS posse and they were divided into
two parties to make a search for
Richard Austin. After several hours
of fruitless effort the men returned
to the Austin cabin to find that in
their absence some one had returned
to the house and made off with the
shoes
1t is supposed that Austin had been
near and as the officers scattered for
the search he managed to reach the
house and secure his shoes. 1t seems
that he must have put pepper or
other substance on the shoes, for the
dogs found themselves unable to fol-
low the trail, although the tracks
we're fresh.
A negro woman on the plantation
admitted that she had given Austin
food on Thursday.
A telephone message was received
here this afternoon that Austin has
been seen again in the section just
searched and that plans were then
under way for a thorough hunt.

Nature Convinced Him.

United States District Attorney
Henry A. Wise was talking in New
York about the financial crooks whom
he put in Jail last year for pilferlng
s25,OOO,000 from the American peo-
pie.
These crooks are silly" he said,
"but they are not nearly so silly as
their dupes. Their dupes are the
kind of men who go to fair and bet
on three-card monte. They're the
kind of men who, if locked up in a
room, would burn up their money in
the fireplace.
1.-The unlikelier a thing is the
more readily these fellows will be-
lieve ut. To win their confidence,
don't tell them the truth-tell them
lies.
I'm a word, they're as illogical a
lot as Smiths substitute.
Smith, the coat-and-hat man at a
big restaurant, was suddenly taken
sick one day, and substitute was put
in his place. The substitute was urg-
ed not to give out any coats and hats
without thorough verifcation, and So,
when an old gentleman demanded MS
hat and explained that he'd lost his
check, there was a great to-do on the
substitutes part.
But that's my hat, the shabby
brown one,' said the old gentleman.
It's got my initials in TT. X. G..
The substitute looked inside the
hat and, sure enough, the initials
were there.
'Humph,' he said suspiciously,
.vou might have seen these initials
somehow
but, here they are On my shirt,
too.' said the old gentlepan, unbut
toning his vest. See? F. x. G.
"'You might have swiped the
shirt said the substitute.
"sGood gracious!' shouted the old
gentleman, and in fit of rage he tore
open his shirt and undervest. Maybe
this will satisfy you! Hey?' And 10,
he pointed to the same initials, F. X.
G.. tatooed on his breast in blue.
''The substitute stared at the tat
tooing closely: then, at last, he hand
ed over the hat. AS he did so he said
reluctantly:
".Well. since nature wrote them
initials on your skin, I guess they
must be your own for a fact.

DEATH CAME
WEDNESDAY
Walker Quietly Faced
for Whole Week the
Inevitable Result.

Macon, Ga., May 22.-After quietly
facing for a week the inevitable re-
suit of his mistake in taking bichlo-
ride of mercury, thinking it head
ache tablet, B. Sanders Walker, a
prominent young banker and realty
dealer, died this morning at 1.35
o'clock. Members of the family had
gathered at his bedside several days
ago when the doctors announced
there was no hope for him, and to
them Mr.. Walker gave no sign of a
tremor, but went to his death with
a resignation that has rendered the
case more than usually interesting
throughout the country.
During the last day he was under
the influence of opiates most of the
time, but in conscious intervals gave
evidence that he was not suffering.
Scores of sympathetic messages
were received by the family. and
many of them were in the nature of
inquiries as to the treatment being
given Mr.. Walker. It has been i'm
possible to find out definitely what
course the physicians took, as they
have refused to talk, except to briefly
trace the progress of the poison's
slow, but deadly, effect.
Members of the family are quoted
as expressing much dissatisfaction
with some of the reports that have
originated in Macon. They declare
that Mr.. Walker remained constantly
in his bed room after it was discov-
cred that he had taken the fatal dose.

Story from Allendale.

Allendale, May 24-J. B. Harter,
Allendale's chief Of police, returned
today from Ewington, Ga, where he
went with Sheriff Morris in pursuit
of a negro reported to be Richard
Henry Austin.
The news that Austin was in that
section came from the aged ferryman
at Hudson's ferry, who said he con-
veyed the negro from the South Caro-
lima side of the river to Georgia
Thursday. Mr.. Coker, the ferryman,
knew Austin and recognized him at
once. According to the ferryman, the
negro was heavily armed, carrying
two double-b -barreled shotguns.
The officers Friday went to the
home of Austin's father, where the
