Those Who Found Them Jlr.
Bourquin Was in His Muggy and
the \ero ItH) Feet Avvn> —Chief
Deputy Sheriff Sweeney, NNiili Olli
een nail lliood Hounds, l.eft for
the Scene of Tragedy Cast Xiglit,
"While driving with a negro servant
on the Dean Forest road, near his
place yesterday, Mr. Gugie Bourquin
was murdered by someone unknown.
The negro was also killed.
No particulars of the double trag
edy were obtainable last night. The
discovery was made during the aft
ernoon by Mr. Edward F. Lovell and
Mr. Harry S. Dreese. They made no
examination of the bodies, hut came
at once to the city and reported the
matter to Coroner Keller. At 10
o’clock Chief Deputy Sheriff Swee
ney with several deputies and blood
hounds, left for the scene of the crime.
Coroner Keller and Mr. Bourquin's
son accompanied the party.
The body of Mr. Bourquin was found
in a cramped position in his buggy.
There were ugly wounds on his head
and his clothing was covered with
blood. The gentlemen who made the
discovery did not attempt to locate
the wounds or ascertain how the man
met his death. The body of the old
negro was found about 100 feet away,
near the tracks of the Seaboard Air
Line. His clothes were also covered
with blood. It is supposed both men
were shot.
fluy Have lleen for Revenge,
It is believed the killing was done
in a spirit of revenge and that when
Mr. Bourquin was shot the negro
jumped from the buggy and ran. He
fell about 100 feet away.
Mr. Lovell and Mr. Dreese
had driven out the Louisville
road for the purpose of hir
ing negroes to cut some wood on the
White Bluff road. Air. Lovell owns
some land near Mr. Bourquin's place
and was going there when he saw a
mule and buggy.
Mr. Bourquin’s body was not notice
able at first, and it was not until the
gentlemen were within a few feet of
it that the ghastly discovery was made.
Behind the buggy was found a double
barrel muzzle-loading gun. Both
barrels were empty, but there was
nothing to show that the weapon had
been fired. Mr. Lovell and Mr. Dreese
did not make a careful examination
or the surroundings. Both knew Air.
Bourquin well and deemed it wise to
hurry to the city for officers.
Theories of the Murder.
After Coroner Keller had been noti
fied Mr. Lovell reported the tragedy to
Mr. Bourquin’s son who lives in the
city. He at once offered two theories
to the officers who are at work on the
case. He said his father may have
encountered some pot hunters and or
dered them off his place. A row may
have followed and the hunters nvay
have killed the old man and his negro.
He may have been slain, however, by
some enemy who was in wait for him.
He had stringent rules governing
hunting on his places and had made
enemies by enforcing the rules. His
son thinks it not unlikely that some
one committed the murder in revenge.
Chief Sweeney is working on. both the
ories and with the aid of his blood
hounds is in hopes of getting x some
trace of the murderer or murderers.
The spot where the double tragedy
occurred is about a mile from, the
Louisville Hoad and near the places
of Mr. Bourquin, who lived on his
country land and was always attended
by a negro man.
Mr. Bourquin"~was a native of this
city and was 65 years of age. He was
well known in Savannah and through
out the county. As chairman of the
Road Commission he had frequent tilts
with the County Commissioners and
was frequently in the courts in one
way or another.
S. A. L. TRAIN KILLED TWO.
l'nldentiflt-<t Krgrora I,ont Their
Liven Senr Savannah.
Two negroes were killed by Seaboard
Air Line trains yesterday, one in the
yards, Just west of the city, and the
other at the six-mile post. The first
negro lost his life in the morning and
his identity could not be discovered.
He was riding on a car loaded with
lumber, and when the train came to
a stop was crushed to death by the
lumber. The negro appeared to be
about 65 years of age, and it was
Judged from his clothes that he was
a railroad man. Coroner Keller viewed
the remains and ordered them buried.
The second negro was killed last
night six miles from the city, but just
how he met his death could not be as
certained. His identity had not been
discovered, either, last night. Coroner
Keller was notified of the second trag
edy, and will view the body this morn
ing. The remains were left near the
railroad track and will not be moved
until the arrival of the coroner. Ho
inquest will be held in either case.
OVER A THOUSAND VISITORS
Saw tlie Sarcophagi in Laurel Grove
Yesterday Afternoon.
Probably a thousand people visited
Laurel Grove Cemetery and the Bar
tow and Me Laws sarcophagi. The af
ternoon was an ideal one, and many
were the visitors to the cemetery,
scarcely one failing to visit the tombs,
while yet decked in their garlands and
wreaths. The Confederate flags,
which on the day previous had draped
the sarcophagi, had been removed,
giving the spectator a view of the in
scriptions.
The wreaths of roses and the hand
some designs of chrysanthemums had
lost little of their fragrance and none
of thtlf artistic beauty. The inscrip
tions were observed as particularly ap
propriate, and the design, surmounting
the whole, as very beautiful.
ATTEMPTED HIS OWN LIFE.
White Mini < Imrgeil Willi "Wife
■ tenting Tried Chloroform.
Preferring death to a trial for wife
| beating, Clem L. Barrow, a white man
living in Bulloch county, near Pem-
I Inuke, attempted twice yesterday to
take his life. The first attempt was
made in the Jail at Jesup, and the sec
ond on an Atlantic Coast Line train
bound for Savannah.
Barrow was brought to Savannah in
the morning by Sheriff J. Z. Kendrick
of Bulloch county and was placed in
the police station for safe keeping for
several hours. Reilly Snead, a negro
convict from Wayeross, was handcuff
ed to Barrow, and the pair left dur
ing the afternoon with the sheriff for
Bulloch county. The negro Snead is
wanted as a witness in a murder trial,
and is also charged with being an
accessory.
The white man was arrested at
Jesup and lodgt and in jail until the ar
rival of Sheriff Kendrick with a war
rant. Yesterday morning the prisoner
get a negro to get him a bottle cf
chloroform and was in the acting of
taking it when discovered by the
jailor. The bottle was taken from him
la-fore he had a chance to make use
of the poison. On the trip to Savannah
Barrow pulled a pocketknife and was
about to cut his throat when stopped
by Sheriff -Kendrick. The sheriff had
no idea up to that time that his pris
oner had a knife.
The negro Snead gave the sheriff no
trouble. Snead will be used as a wit
ness in the trial of Aaron Guard for
the killing of John Davis in Bulloch
county about a year ago. Davis was
shot to death and it is alleged that
Snead is an accessory. He was brought
from Wayeross, where he was leased
by the Screven county authorities.
Snead is now under sentence from that
county for larceny.
WOMAN SUSPECT RELEASED.
Jewelers Would Not Go In Atlanta
to Identify Mrs. Thomas.
The woman supposed to have been
the Queen of Diamonds, so badly
wanted in this city for the theft of
diamonds valued at $2,000, was given
her liberty in Atlanta yesterday af
ternoon.
Mr. T. E. Theus, who handed out
some of the gems and accepted in
return a forged order, is ill and a
picture of the woman sent to Super
intendent Reilly by Chief of Police
Bail of Atlanta, was not even shown
him. Mr. Andrew Desbouillons. son
of the second jeweler who wat vic
timized. saw the Diamond Queen in
ids father’s store and is certain that
he could identify her. He stated to
Superintendent Reilly that the picture
of Dr. Thomas’ wife was a good like
ness of the woman who secured the
diamonds here.
Young Mr. Desbouillons would not go
to Atlanta to identify the woman,
however, and Superintendent Reilly
telegraphed Chief Ball to release her.
Mr. Desbouillons stated a willingness
to make the trip if the other firm of
jewelers would defray one-half of the
expense. Because of the illness of Mr.
Theus, however, no such agreement
was made. It was shown, too. that
none of the missing diamonds have
been recovered, nnd that the conviction
of the woman, without the recovery
of the gems, would only entail ad
ditional expense. A reward was of
fered for her arrest without the dia
monds, and lust so much more money
would have had to be paid out in the
event that she was identified as the
guilty person and brought here for
trial.
STOITInGAGEMENT RING.
\or*v*uiuii Su I lor Touched for One
IIIm Sweetheart Gave Him.
I'or stealing: a plain gold engagement
given to Oscar Oleson, a Norwe
gian sailor on the British steamship
Forest Brook, by his sweetheart in
Sweden, Rosa Green, a negro woman
of the East Side, was arrested yester
day by Detective Julius Stark.
The ring that the seafaring man
prizes so highly was found on the wo
man and she will be given a prelimi
nary hearing by Recorder Myrick in
Police Court this morning. She had
-he hea\y gold hand tied in the corner
of her handkerchief and this was
around her neck when the detective
took her in charge.
Oleson visited the dives on the East
Side Saturday night and fell in with
the Green woman. He feared that lie
would lose the engagement ring that
his sweetheart in far away Sweden had
given him before he sailed, and took
it from his finger. He slipped the ring
into his coat pocket and did not miss
it until lie left the woman. The matter
was placed in the hands of Detective
Stark and the arrest and recovery of
the property followed.

lany—Heavy Docket in Ordinary
Court—Many Matters Set for a
Hearing in the Superior Court.
No Court lu-moi row Juror*
Drawn for NVeitnewday in City
t ourt.
This week in the courts will be a
busier one than any for some time.
This is particularly true of the City
Court, which begins its November
term to-day. In the Court of Ordi
nary there is a heavy docket to be dis
posed of, and in the Superior Court a
number of alimony and injunction
cases have been set for hearing in
chambers.
At 10 o'clock this morning the docket
of civil cases will be called in the
City Court. There will be a large rep
resentation from the bar present, to
look after the assignment of cases. In
ail, nearly 400 cases will be called, of
which number more than half have
been on the docket for some time.
The calling of the docket and the as
signment of cases will occupy the
court until the middle of the after
noon, so that no other business has
been set for to-day.
Over 100 New Canes.
There are 120 new cases, most of
which are suits for damages. Many of
these suits are interesting, and their
trial will attract attention- In dam
age suits alone the recovery of $260,000
is sought. This gives some idea of the
amount of business which confronts
the court for the terni.
Of the quarter of a million dollars,
and more, sought for personal injuries,
$70,000 are asked from the Savannah
Kin trie Company. These injuries, so
called, include injury to feelings, mor
tification, and the sterner injury to
oneis physical self. It is probable that
between fifty and seventy-five of the
new cases will go by default, this be
ing particularly true in cases where
the recovery is sought on a note.
The petit jurors, for the trial of civil
cases, have already been drawn. To
moirow being election day there will
be no session of the City Court, but on
Wednesday the jurors will report and
cases will be assigned for trial begin
ning on that date. There will probably
be no adjournment of the City Court,
holidays except, until the latter part of
January.
In Superior untl Ordinary Courts.
In the Court of Ordinary there are
many matters to be disposed of, to-day
being the first day >f the November
term. Judge McAlpin has returned
to the city, and will be in his office.
In the Superior Court the pressure of
business will not be as great as in the
other two courts, though numerous
matters of an interlocutory nature
have been assigned for hearing. Re
turn day is not far distant, and every
day one or two suits are filed, so that
the docket for the December term is
likely to be a large one.
PASTOR EoFtEiTyEARS.
Rev. Dr. W. C. S line Her Celebrated

BOUGHtIjUGGIES.
Anil Are Now Anxious to Find the
Man AY ho Sold Them.
Many of the citizens of Effingham
county are anxiofis to know of the
whereabouts and trustworthiness of
two men who last week made a tour of
the county selling buggies. The men
represented themselves as being agents
of a Chicago firm, agd from what can
be learned did a pretty fair business.
This is not remarkable, for they
made offers that, if straight, were cal
culated to bring them In a good busi
ness. Briefly, it was this: They of
fered to exchange new buggies for old,
with a consideration to boot, of course,
but offering an exceptionally high
price for the old vehicles. Then $5
w-as collected, ‘‘to guarantee freight
charges,” and often a much larger
amount was secured by an offer of 10
per cent, oft for cash on the spot.
In one case, according to the infor
mation brought to Savannah by a res
ident of Effingham, the buyer of the
buggy was told that the allege! agents
of the Chicago concern had arranged
with Mr. Mark Apple of this city, to
take all of the old buggies secured on
the trip. Mr. Apple said last night
that he has neither agents, represen
tatives, nor any person whatever em
powered to do business in his name,
outside of Savannah, and that he
knows nothing whatever of the men
or their business.
In one deal that the men made Mr.
C. S. Gnann of Stillwell made a draft
on Hunter, Pearce & Battey for $79
payable to F. B. Harper but gave it
with the understanding- that it was
not to be presented until the buggy
had been received. He became sus
picious of the deal he had made and
tried the next day to stop payment of
the draft but found that it had been
collected the very day given.
The men are making their trips to
gether, using anew, rubber-tired, top
I’Uggy, drawn by a dark chestnut
horse. A description of the -men is
rather meagre, though both are said
to be clean shaved, and one is rather
a large man, weighing probably 175 to
lS.f pounds, while the other is excep
tionally short, standing not more than
5 feet 3 ot 4 inches.
“QUIT YOU LIKE MEN.”
Ilev. Bunco■ Anthony’s Advice to
Youth.
Rev. Bascom Anthony gave rome
good advice to young m<en and young
women in his sermon at Trinity Meth
odist Church last night.
Rev. Mr. Anthony took as his text
Quit you like men.” Manliness, he
said, does not mean physical strength,
although that quality of a man is a
good thing. A sound body counts for
much and he advised young men to
take physical exercise. Mr. Anthony
declared that the "fellow who sponges
on his daddy is like unto a tramp, ex
cept that the tramp is the better be
cause he divides his burden.”
He declared that an improvident and
ignorant wife in many cases keeps a
man's nose t.o the grindstone. He
urged young women to study economy
and prepare to take care of the earn
ings of their husbands. Mr. Anthony’s
advice was wholesome and he urged
both men and women to hearken to his
words. He called upon the men to de
fend the helpless and weak and sc l
thaf a part of thi3 duty would be to
defend the weak from the wickedness
of this city by stamping out vice.
Mr. Anthony made no local refer
ences After his sermon he stated that
there are only f cmr more Sundays be
fore conference and In that time he
hopes to be able to point out much
wickedness. "I'll give them a slug sn
my sermon next Sunday night. ’ he

To-morrow is election day. In many
states this means a good deal, but in
Georgia, and in other Southern states,
it is more a mater of form than of
figures, owing to the lack of opposition
to the Democratic candidates. An ef
fort is being made to bring out a
large party vote for Congressman Les
ter.-
Col. Lester has received assurances
from many of his friends, in answer to
his letter recently sent out, in which
they pledge their votes and support.
Col. Lester will be at the polls ‘to
morrow to meet his friends and watch
the balloting. His friends have been
active in his interest, and doubtless
a full complimenatry vote will be
polled.
They urge that voters do not remain
away from the polls, on account of
the lack of opposition, and point to
the fact that) should all voters look
at the matter in this light, a hat would
he too large to hold the ballots.
Of course, there is the usual eleventh
hour rumor of opposition, but to this
the friends of Col. Lester lend no cred
ence. AVithout this air-castle opposi
tion, they say, there is no congression
al election —it comes naturally and in
evitably. It gives the politicians some
thing to talk about when business is
dull.
Col. Lester is the only candidate. The
district comprises the counties of
Chatham, Emmanuel, Tattnall, Burke,
Effingham, Liberty, Screven, Bulloch,
Bryan and Mclntosh.
The polls will open at 7:24 o’clock in
the morning, closing at 6:24 in the
afternoon. The managers and clerks
have already been appointed by the
County Commissioners. Tickets will
be furnished at the polls. The polls
will be at the Court House, the sev
eral districts being designated, as
usual, with placards. <
AUTO WOULDN’T WORK.
Machine llall.ol. and the Oeenpunt*
Hnl to Try Walking.
Not the least of the disadvantages of
automobiling is the possibility of the
machine deciding that it will go no
further. Chauffeurs who have been the
victims of such decisions declare, from
past experiences with mules, that those
proverbially stubborn animals are sim
ply not in it with an automobile for
stubbornness and pure cussedness.
Such a beautiful day as yesterday
could not but attract automobilists and
those who still ride behind so prosaic
an animal as a horse. During the af
ternoon many went for drives. Waters
road was about as popular as any of
the -roads leading from the city, and
among those who spun along over its
smooth surface were a young man and
woman, who were happy in the posses
sion of an automobile. They came to
grief, however. A gentleman who was
content to drive a horse told their story,
or as much of .it as he knew.
"We were attracted by the unusual
spectacle," he said, "of a young man
and young woman striding along on
a country road some distance from the
city. They looked like they were in a
hurry. He wore a long automobile coat
and an automobile cap. They did not
look like they were enjoying them
selves particularly, so I concluded they
were not out for a stroll.
"I wondered what was the matter
with them. Half a mile further up
the road there was an automobile.
There the thing stood, in the middle
of the road, right where it' had stop
ped. Finding that nothing he could do
could' make it run, the chaffeur and
the lady had decided they would see
if walking was any better than auto
mobiling. The machine was left to
look after itself. People driving by
wondered what it was doing there in
the road. They usually hit the right
conclusion.
“On the way back we passed the
couple again. They had seated them
selves on a log to list. They were
laughing and talking, and looked like
they were not having such a ba 1 time
after all. He had pulled his long co.it
off, however, and I suppose he thought
the term ‘automobile’ that the women
apply to their long walking coats a
misnomer."

At 11 o’clock this morning the last
of the old-fashioned hose reels, at one
time used by the Savannah Fire De
partment, will go out of service and a
light hose wagon with chemical ap
paratus for extinguishing small tires
will be placed at hose station No. 1,
on Waldburg street, east of Price.
At the same time the number of
men at the hose station will be In
creased from three to five. Superin
tendent John E. Maguire has issued
an order naming Arthur M. Rogers
of the Central Station as foreman of
the recently enlarged hose station.
Fireman Aaron Adams from fire Sta
tion No. 6 is ordered to the Hose Sta
tion. Foreman Arthur Tosache. for
merly at the Central Station, but re
cently on duty in the superintendent’s
office, is sent back to his old poet on
Oglethorpe avenue.
This change will be good news to
those who reside in the vicinity of
the Central Station. Mr. Tosache is
always a great favorite with those liv
ing near the fire station under bis
charge, and when he was sent from
the Central Station to Station No. 6
a protest was made to Superintendent
Maguire and Mayor Myers. The la
dies in the neighborhood were anxious
to have the foreman stay at the sta
tion where he had been for several
years. For various reasons, however,
their expressed wishes at that time
could not he granted.
The old hose reel that goes out of
service this morning will be kept in
reserve until such time as Superin
tendent Maguire finds that he can
make some good use of it. It is a heavy
and clumsy machine, pulled by one
horse. The new wagon to take its
place is lighter and is drawn by two
horses. It was constructed in the de
partment and is a modern hose wag
on in every respect. Foreman Rogers
and four men will be kept on duty at
tlie little station on Waldburg street.
This station was recently renovated
and additional sleeping quarters for
the men were built. The place has been
made comfortable for the winter and
the switching of the men has thus far
given perfect satisfaction.
SANCTITY OF THE HOME.
Subject ot Rev. \C. H. Strong’* Ser
mon at St. John’* Church.
The subject of Rev. Charles H.
Strong’s sermon at St. John’s Church
last night was the sanctity of the
home. Mr. Strong took his text from
a portion of the first verse of the Twen
ty-seventh Psalm: “Except the Lord
build the house, they labor in vain
that build it.” The sermon appealed
strongly to those who heard it.
Mr. Strong said that since there had
been so many questions arising as to
the place of women in the world, and
her place in the home, he had decided,
during the winter to give a series of
old-fashioned talks on the subject.
"It is a self-evident proposition,” he
said, “that the purer and better the
homes of any nation, the stronger the
nation. Anglo-Saxon nations are in
the fore-front of civilization by reason
of the purity of their homes.
“The house always means the home
in the Biblical acceptation of the word.
The best proof of this is in the Tenth
Commandment, where it appears,
‘Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's
house,’ meaning, of course, home, for
the Jew's in those days had no house,
living as they did in tents and in
booths. The text, then, read, ’Except
the Lord build the home, they labor
in vain that build it.’ ”
Mr. Strong confined his discourse to
a history of the evolution of the home,
from the time of prehistoric man to
the present day, picturing the cave
dwellers, even before the stone age,
with but two elements of home life
within them, the maternal instinct and
mutual protection, and closing with a
description of the homes of to-day,
many of which, like the palaces of
Italian noblemen, possess no element
of home life, being houses, not homes.
In running the gamut of history he
paused to speak especially of the old
Jewish homes—those of the time of
Abraham and Moses —where the first
real germ of family life existed. By
the Jewish law the chastity and purity
of woman was guarded, __ the child life
recognized and the prie'SThood vested
in the pater familias. These were the
ideas inculcated into the race and in
corporated in the Gospel which have
come to us as a precious heritage.
"But we have come to a time.” said
Mr. Strong, "when men are building
houses, and not homes. No one should
disparage the building of beautiful
house. Of these I do not speak, but
of the houses which are not homes —
those houses, which like some of the
Italian palaces, in which father, moth
er, sister and brother are as much
separated as if they lived in differ
ent houses.
“In some of these homes, particu
larly in the North, w-here live the
wealthiest, the various members of
the family do not see each other for
weeks, except, perchance, as they
pass on the steps. The women have
their clubs and the men have their
clubs-and the children have their ex
citement and diversion, and so the
home life is wrecked.”
In closing Mr. Strong urged his
hearers to so build their homes that
they would be prepared for another
home in that eternal and continuing
city whose -builder and ruler is God.
Do Business Men Think of This?
The money that you spend away from
home “never comes back any more.”
Do business men think of this?
Take you, for instance. Have you
ever bought an article away from home
because it was a few cents cheaper
than you could get at home that you
did not feel that you were retarding
the growth of your city by injuring
the business of its citizens?
It saves little, if anything, to send
your orders away, or to buy your sup
plies away from home. Such a sys
tem indirectly hurts you, no matter
who you are. And it works direct
harm to your fellow citizens, who have
taxes to pay, rent to pay, employes
to nay, and other charges to meet.
This applies to all lines of business,
but in this special advertisement it is
intended to refer to the thousands of
dollars’ worth of printing, lithograph
ing and blank book work which is
sent away every month by Savannah
business houses.
Think of it!
Thousands of dollars’ worth going
to other printing houses in other cities
when there are more th?n a dozen
good ones here, able to do much more
work than they are doing if they had
it to do.
The more work these concerns have
to do the more people they have to
employ, and these people, as a matter
of course, become buyers. They be
come customers of the shoe houses,
the dry goods houses, the grocery
houses, the drug houses, and, indeed,
about all lines of business feel the
impetus which increased buyers give.
The Morning News printing, litho
graphing, blank book and bindery is
one of the best in the country. It has
a lithograph plant sufficiently large to
handle all of the work in Savannah.
And it will do it as well and as rea
sonable as any reputable concern in
the United States.
The Morning News has striven to
give Savannah a home plant. The
class of work turned out by it speaks
for itself.
If it is satisfactory, there is no real
reason why any of this work should
find its way to other cities. None
whatever.
Should business men encourage it?
