AFTER TELLER HINCKLEY.
TR ACKIM. THF. WEST SIDE B ASK
DF.FAII.TER.
Itu He on the Steamship Juniata?—
Capt Pascett'a Heacription of the Sus
pected Psorncrr and His Strange
Behavior —The Pinkertons cn Hts
Trail.
A rumor that the defaulting Paying
T’ller Hinckley of the West Side Savings
Bank of Xew York, tvho absconded last
week with $96,000 of the bank’s money.was
in Savannah, has created quite a stir in
police circles. Chiet of Police Anderson
is in receipt of telegrams from Pinkerton's
Agency giving a description of the de
faulting teller and asking a lookout to be
i kept for him upon the arrival of the
steamer Juniata, which sailed from Phila
delphia last Saturday. The telegram did
n t reach here until after the
steamer had landed, but the matter
was placed in the hands of Detective
Kanfucinn, with instructions to look up
is to be found. It was
n t difficult to determine w hich one of the
passengers was Hinckley if he was on
K.ard at all. for there was only one pas
senger on the ship. The description given
in the telegram was of a man about 40
years old. of medium height and weight,
but having the appearance of a man un
der .to, with light complexion, dark-red
whiskers and moustache, and plainly
dressed. The description of the passen
ger "li the Juniata corresponded in many
particulars with that of Hinckley, but.
owing to the arrival of the telegram long
after the ship had reached her dock, it
4vas impossible to locate the w anted indi
vidual.
Capt. Daggett.when asked for the ship’s
passenger-list, reported that only one pas
•u'nper bail been brought out, a young
man giving his name as W. A. Smith, ap
pr. titlv u!>ut 25 years of age. of medium
build with smooth face and sandy
m ustache, plainly dressed in an ordinary
suit of clothes and wearing a straw hat.
Epon l>eing inlormed ot the telegram
which had been received, and the sus
p .-ion that the passenger was the default
ing bank teller. Capt. Daggett recalled his
xtrange conduct and behavior during the
trip.
-A few minutes before we left the
wharf at Philadelphia,” said the Captain,
"a voung man answering to the de9crii>-
ti.-n 1 have just given, hurried on board
carrying a small satchel. He was the
onU passenger, and presented an
excursion ticket to Savannah. 1
was busy with uiy duties, and
had no opportunity of making his
a- utaintance until supper, when'with
the purser we were seated at the table.
Being the only passenger 1 was anxious
to make the trip as agreeable and pleas
ant as possible for him. I soon gave tip
any attempt to enter into a conversation,
for I saw it was impossible. About the
only reply I could get in response to the
natural courtesy of the table was a glum
grunt whenever he was asked if he would
be served with any particular dish. He
seemed disinclined' fr m some motive to
enter • into conversation. and I
finally concluded, after a study of
his features and his foreign appear
ance. that he was a Nowegian and
without sufficient knowledge of English
to talk fluently, and so kept quiet.
After supper 1 saw nothiug more of him
until the next day. when he came on
and -k and finally walked forward to tiie
pilot house, all the tune seeming to resist
any effort to talk. During the rest of th a
trip he kept by hitnself. but. supposing
him to be a foreigner, nothing wa thought
of his movements, and I had not the
slightest thought ( f his being a defaulter
•>r any other criminal. A singular thing
happt-ned shortly alter we left the wharf
at Philadelphia' which may give some
light upon the matter. As the stranger
walked up to the Purser’s
office to exchange his passage ticket
Purser Burns, in a jovial way, in
quired: ‘W. A. Smith, or W. C. Smith?'
•IV. A..' was the reply. The purser re
marked the singular coincidence that he
xhould have happened to call the name
Smith, together with the stranger’s
initials, inasmuch as it wastbe first name
that suggested itself, and might have
been Brown or Jones or any other name
that bad occurred to h;9 mind. After
receiving his ticket, the stranger walked
away without any response to the pur
ser's courtesy.
Before arriving here Mr. Burns cleverly
managed to get into some sort of conver
sation hy asking him if he was going
further than Savannah. “To 3d toon,”
was the reply. From this point they
drifted on until Smith said that
h was going there to work.
Mr. Burns is acquainted in Macou. and
and -covered that Smith had friends there.
Tnis was about all that was seeu of him
until tie ship was coming into the wharf,
w here ( apt. Daggett saw him standing on
th-- deck 4vith his satchel in his hand.
“Being busy with the vessel,” said the
t'aptain. -T’took no notice of the
stranger. and didn't see him
alter he left the deck. Whether he was
Hinckley or not 1 have not the slightest
ni* a. but I would give five dollars to find
■ nit just for the satisfaction of know ing.
If !<•- 44 as th“ xharpest bank-teller in New
York a he has been called, he
didn’t show i\ and if there was
$!4>,000 in the satchel which he
had he carried it very unconcernedly.
IMcetive Kaufmann traced the stranger
' . ::,e ship through the city to the Cen
tral depot, where he left about an hour
after the ship landed. Nothing further
ix * -li learned of his whereabouts or
identity and no attempt, so far as
- known, has been made to trace him.
The ; .iee are confident that he is the
man. but they are not authorized to fol
low him up. ' If tbeir suspicions are cor
rect he is now probably beyond reach with
his satchel of plunder!

NEW STEAMER FOR FLORIDA.
The Augusta in i’ort on Her Way From
Boston.
Tae steamboat Augusta, commanded
by ( apt. G. F. Clark, arrived
m ming from Boston en route to the up
jer St. John’s river. The vessel attracted
a _• • ■ii dt al of attention as she lay moored
at the wharf near the foot of Drayton
street, "he is one of the smallest of her
class that has called at this port for
some time, being 100 feet in length,
28 feet beam, and having a draught of only
f< ;r fee! w hen loaded. She left Boston on
th.* 30th of April, passed around Cape
t'xi. tb r.c" through Long Island Sound
int New York harbor, whence she came
outside to Norfolk. The greater portion
ot her run down the coast south
of Cape Henry was made by
the inside routes, and she encouri
t*. red some rough weather and heavy seas
n *rth of C ape Remain which obliged her
to re’urn for harbor. She was at Charles
t* r. a couple of days and ieit that port by
t ic insiib route on Thursday morning for
Savannah. The Captain stated to a re
porter of the Morning News that he was
'Urprised at tne manner in which the
boat stood the sea. when once or twice
s.i" was caught in a squall on the ocean.
The craft is about ten years old, but
was rebuilt a couple of years ago at a
cost of *B.OOO. Iler net measurement is
."•Ston-. She has a license to carry, as a
day tjoat, 300 persons. Her motive power
I by one of Staples k Sou's in
clined low pressure engines. Her
cylinder is 18 inches in diameter, with
a four-foot stroke. Iler ordinary
speed is 10 miles an hour on a steam
pressure of 70 pounds, although she has
frequently made a rasof 13miles an hour.
Her boiler is of I.Boogallons capacity, and
s -.applied with tanks holding 1,000 gal
1> ns. The consumption of fuel is compar
atively small, one ton of soft coal, or
two and a half cords ot
wood being sufficient to create
steam for a run of eighty miles. Besides
her Captain, she carries an engineer, fire
man. steward and two deck hands. Her
owners are Lewis J. Bird, Esq., of Boston,
and (apt. Clark. She will be taken to
Jacksonville by Capt. Mercier, who is
well known in "outhern waters, and will
run between Falatka and Crescent City.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Improvements at tlie Fireman’s Hall—
New Quarter* for the Hook and Ladder
Company.
The wooden structure which formed the
annex to Fireman’s Hall on the west side
has been torn down, and yesterday after
n>s>n the foundation for a one-story brick
structure, with a front of 22 feet and a
depth of 60 feet, was laid. The new build
is being erected by Messrs. Eason & Stunt,
under the direction of the City Council
Committeeon Pnblic Buildings. Mr. Eason
is doing the brick work and Mr. Stunt the
wood work. The roof will be of tin, and
it is expected that the structure will
be covered within ten days, when
the paid men of Hie department will
lay the flooring, erect the sliding doors
aud the stalls for horses, and finish what
ever other inside carpenter work that
may remain to be done. The improve
ment is estimated to cost about $775, and
will furnish accommodation for the
Werner Hook and Ladder truck a>d
horses. There will also be a double door
at the rear of the structure, so that the
truck may be taken either in or out of the
building on the south as well as the north
side, The room heretofore used for the
housing oC the truck will be the quarters
of a reserve engine and hose reel.

UNDER THE GALLOWS’ SHADOW.
The Appling; County Murderer’* Lease
of Life Drawing to a Close—What He
Haa to Say About the Crime —The
Lowery Gang in Carolina.
A Morning News reporter called at
the jail yesterday and was accorded an
interview with Fletcher Lowery. The
condemned man is found in cell No. 15.
Deputy J ailer Ktnchley said, as the re
porter walked up to the cell door, “Low
ery. here is a reporter who wants to talk
with you.”
The prisoner was sitting at the foot of
his cot, next to the cell door. Looking
out through the bars, he said:
“How do you do, sir* lean tell you
a good deal,'l reckon, as a good many
things have been told about me that are
not true.”
While Lowerv was speaking the
reporter studied his physiognomy.
He is a tall, broad-shouldered, strongly
built, bright mulatto, with square face,
straight nose, clear black eyes, with fore
head broad, and of medium height. A
short growth of hair formed a moustache
and a set of whiskers, while his chin was
shaven. He was comfortably dressed and
cleanlv in appearance.
••When vou were leaving Savannah with
the Shei iff a few days ago did any one ap
peal to want to take you from him?”
Lowery smiled and said: “When wc
got down to the corner of Liberty street
to take the street car Tor the depot, a half
drunken negro came up and said to me:
•Who are ver? What they gwine ter do
wid yer. wid dat big chain ’bout yer
neck?’ He was told that I was a prisoner
going to court in the country, but he kept
on talking in his foolish way as though
he was looking at a big bear in a circus
for the first time in his life. I didn’t pay
anv attention to him, and don’t remember
now all he said, but the Sheriff called out
to somebody and asked where he could
find a policeman, when a few other pepple
came up on hearing him ask the question
just to see what the matter was. About
that time we got on the car and started
to the depot. No one on the train
seemed to notice me much. When
we got to Jesup I was taken into a room
and stayed there with the officer. At
Jesi4p no one seemed to know or care
about my lieilig there, and I didn’t see or
hear of any one who wanted to make
trouble. On our wav back to Jesup a day
or two ago, the Sheriff, a lawyer and three
other men armed with shotguns were with
us; but there was no trouble of any kind
that 1 heard of, and I don't think any one
thought of making any.”
“Have you refused to talk to anyone
since you came back to Savannah?”
“No,sir; I’m always glad to talk to
neople when I’m allowed to do so.”
“Have you talked with any newspaper
men this week?”
“Not that I know 01. Y'ou are the only
newspaper man that I have seen so far as
I know.”
“Why did you kill Brumage? Had you
been on a spree when you killed him, or
was it (jealousy ?’’
“I was not drinking at the time. It was
on account of the woman. I am sorry
for it.”
••Had you been drinking much before
the murder?”
“I was in the habit of taking a drink
sometimes, but not to get drunk.”
••What was vour father's name?”
“John Quince Lowery. He’s been dead
a long time?”
“How old are you?”
“Well I'm not sure, but I reckon I’m
pushing the thirties prettv close.”
‘•Where were you born?”
“In Robei tsou counrty,North Carolina.”
“How long before the war?”
“I'm not sure, but as near as I can
come at it I reckon I was about 12 years
old when Sherman went through there
just before the war closed ?”
“Is your mother living?”
“Y'e’s. sir; in North Carolina. I heard
from her not long ago—after I got into
this trouble.”
“What is her name?”
“Iva—lva Lowery.”
“Did you belong to the Lowery gang?”
“What! you mean those outlaws?”
The reporter nodded in the affirmative,
when Lowery went on to say: “I didn’t
belong to them, but my uncles and some
other people did.”
“Did you have anything to do with
them?”
“No, sir; all I know about them is that
they were outlaws, and that my uncles
belonged to them. I couldn’t help that.
I never was arrested for anything until I
got into this trouble. The lawyers up in
Baxley knew that letters came there
from people whom I know in North Caro
lina who gave me a good recommenda
tion.”
“What did you work at in North Caro
lina?”
“I most of the time worked on turpen
tine farms.”
“How long have you been in Georgia?”
“Over three years—l reckon it’s more
than that, almost five years.”
“What have you been doing?”
“Working as’a chipper on turpentine
farms. I was working for Mr. Baxley up
to the time I was arrested for this.”
“Do any of the ministers come to see
vou ?’’
“One came yesterday, but I don’t know
his name. Before 1 went to be sentenced
Mr. Matthews. Mr. Holmes and Mr. Hayes
came to see me. I would like to see them
again, and I wish they would come
ottener now.”
“Are you sorry you got into this
trouble?”
“Yes, sir, I am. I wouldn't do any
thing like it again. I suppose we all do
things some times that we are sorry for
afterwards, and I regret that I had any
thing to do with this.’ -
FISHERMEN’S PERIL.
Excursionists to the Red Snapper Hanks
Nearly Shipwrecked.
The excursionists who left the city on
Wednesday night on the tugs Constitution
and Forest City for the Bed Snapper banks
were caught in a gale shortly after reach
ing the fishing ground and narrowly es
caped being shipwrecked. The Constitu
tion reached the banks about 7
o’clock on Thursday morning
and had been there about an hour
when the Forest City arrived. Before the
partv on the Forest City had cast its lines
a violent gale set in front the northeast,
and the waves broke over the vessels,
deluging their decks, and sweeping into
the holds. About 8 o’clock the Forest
City was signaled from the Constitution,
and on reaching her she
was found helpless and rolling
in the trough of the waves. A line was
thrown out and she was taken in tow.
The sea was running high, aud it was
impossible to board her until smooth
water was reached, when her condition
was learned. Those who were on board
went through an experience during
the time ' the Forest City was
coming to their rescue that
thev will probably always remember. In
some way the vessel’s machinery became
disabled, and the water filling the hold
put out the fires and threw them at the
mercy of the waves. Had it not been for
the timely arrival of assistance they
would probably have gone to the bottom.
The gale continued all day. and the party
did not reach the city until late at night.
A JEFFERSON STREET BLAZE.
A slight Fire and Damage Fully Cot
erect by Insurance.
A few minutes after-12 o’clock last night
fire was discovered in the second story of
the residence, No. 101 Jefferson street, one
door north of Berrien street, occupied by
Abraham Davis, colored. The fire
department responded promptly to
the alarm, sounded from box
No. 32, and succeeded in arrestii*;
the progress of the flames before much
damage was done. The fire was confined
to the wall of the second story of the
house overlooking Jefferson street, and
oniv six or seven pieces of weather board
ing’and some plastering on the interior of
the wall were destroyed. The building
Is owned bv Mrs. A. G. Fink, who
lives on Jefferson, north of Liberty street.
Davis succeeded in removing a greater
portion of his household goods, and his
loss is comparatively trifling. The dam
age to the building is said to be fully cov
ered by insurance.

In the City Court yesterday the case of
Rawls Baker against C. H. Dorsett, ad
ministrator of the estate of Frederick P.

was brought on account for $154 53,
alleged to be due on a sale of rice which
tha-plaintiff had with Miller. One of the
points in the defense was that Miller dur
ing his lifetime said that the claim had been
satisfied. The jury returned a verdict for
the defendant.
C. D. Rogers brought au action on a
notfi given by Lizzie Pridgen for the sum
of $250. The case was concluded yester
day by the jurv, who returned a verdict
for the" plaintiff tor the value of the note,
together with interest from September 15,
1883, and all costs.
The suit ol Michael A. Gallagher
against the Savannah. Florida and West
ern Railway,for the sum of SSOO damages,
on account of the alleged killing of a
horse owned by the plaintiff, was taken
up. It appears that the railway company
had erected a barbed w'ire fence
along its line of road in the
neighborhood of Kingsville, and one night
the horse ran into it, and was subsequent
ly found so badly cut about the breast
and -body that death followed. The
plaintiff alleged in a tormer trial that the
fence was not a legal one, inasmuch as it
did not have four wires, with the highest
one four and a half feet above the ground.
The jury awarded the plaintiff the sum of
S2OO. A motion was made for anew trial
and granted, and took place yesterday.
The testimony adduced was ’similar to
that offered during the former trial. The
case was ably argued by counsel, and the
jury retired after charge from the
court to make a verdict.
THE MAYOR’S COURT.
•
Friday’s Record of Police Doings.
Among the prisoners who appeared in
the Mayor’s Court yesterday morning
were Charles Green and William Wright,
two negro lads, who were arrested about
11:30 o’clock on Thursday night by officer
Hartigan, of the Ocean Steamship police,
as suspicious characters. They had two
and a half boxes of cigars in their posses
sion, which were supposed to have been
stolen. The statement of the officer and
that of Constable F. McDermott was
heard, when the case was continued until
this morning in order that the matter
might be more fully investigated.
Mrs. Cullum, a white woman, also ap
peared in court to answer the charge of
having used profane and obscene lan
guage, in a loud and boisterous manner,
on the street on Thursday night. She
failed to give a satisfactory explanation
for her conduct, and the court sentenced
her to pay a fine of $5 or be imprisoned
five days.’
THAT S 15,000 PRIZE.
Drawn by Engineer Isaac Haines.
The lucky holder of one-fifth of ticket
10,842, which drew the capital prize of
$75,001) in the Louisiana State Lottery last
Tuesday, is Mr. Isaac Haines, the engi
neer of passenger engine No. 51. on the
Memphis and Charleston Railroad. The
gentleman was interviewed at Chattanoo
ga last Wednesday, by an attaehe of the
Times, and that journal on yesterday had
the following on the subject: “‘l’ll tell
you how it happened,’ said Mr. Haines.
•I happened to find an old dollar bill in
my pocketbook when in Memphis last
week, and, while sauntering along the
street, concluded to buy a lottery ticket.
1 put it away and thought no more ol it
until this morning, when a gentleman
showed me a telegram from New Orleans,
stating that ticket No. 10,842 had drawn
the capital prize, $75,000, in the Louisiana
State Lottery. Remembering that I had
a ticket I hunted it up, and found that it
corresponded with the number telegraph
ed.’ Mr. Haines is undecided what he
will do with the money, blit it will be put
to good use. He has been running an en
gine on the Memphis Road fourteen years,
and is held m high esteem by his employ
ers. He has supported two sistere and
an aged father for years on his farm near
Stevenson, Ala. A tew months ago he
was in a pool for a ticket in the same lot
tery and drew a large nrize, receiving
S6OO for his share.— Memphis ( Tenn. )

his hard earned money for a suit. Not hav

but lie is wiser now, qnd made himself a
promise never to take credit again, aud if
miles away he will trade only at the
"Famous.” His blue suit has turned red
and looks old and faded. „ Let this be a

A Boy's Reminiscences.
“When I was a boy, and I am not a
patriarch by any means, I was occasion
ally indulged with anew suit of clothes.
My debut in thismew apparel was general
ly’on a Sunday morning, and yet my joy
was not always free from alloy. I
generally felt on this solemn occasion
that my suit didn’t exactly fit, and that
every living soul that saw me knew it and
remarked it. This, of course, generated
a misery in my young soul that was almost
martyrdom.
It seems as though things are changed
nowadays; boys look jauntier and nobbier
in their new clothes; men look like so
many tailors’ frames, every stitch fitting
as though the wearer had been melted
and poured into his suit. Simon Mitchell
is the pioneer of the clothing reform. He
was the first to give tailor fits at “ready
made” prices, and consequently his
reputation is now widespread and
remunerative. He simply says: “If my
clothing won't fit 1 will make it tit, and it
won’t cost you a cent.” His Spring and
Summer Suits are the rage; his line of
Hats, Hosiery, Neck andUnderwear is
unapproachable. 169 Broughton street,

WOOD PAVEMENT.
Its Popularity in London and Paris.
The following interesting letter, relative
to wood pavement, is from Maj. Gen. Rip
ley, formerly of the Confederate States
Army:
Continental Hotel, Paris, April 80.1854.
Mv Dear Lawton—l learn that ths Savan
nah people are taking steps towards paving
their streets with stone blocks. I drop you a
line to ask you to call attention ot the proper
authorities to the unqualified success which
has attended the svstem of wood paving
adopted in London and Paris. The utterfail
ure of wood pavement in America, as former
ly laid, of course created a prejudice, but the
only reason of failure was that it was not
properly laid. It failed In England and here,
too, until thev learned how. Tn London it has
lasted for ove'r three years without repair, in
King William street, leading from London
Bridge, and they are putting it down every
where. In fact, it is down now from the
bridge out to Kensington without interrup
tion. In Paris it has also been tried, and suc
cessfully stood the test of the heaviest traffic
and is down in the Rue Montmartre, the Rue
Rivoli, the Avenue de l’Opera and the Boule
vards, the Champs Elvsees. and, in fact, they
are putting it down everywhere, rippiDg up
stone, asphalt and macadam to make room
for it.
Its advantages now that it can he made to
last are obvious, and your people can save
Savannah some money "and have a gosd, dur
able, clean and noiseless pavement, instead
of the costly, noisy and dusty stone of long
time ago.
I sail in the Normandie on Saturday for
New York. Shall stop at the New York Hotel.
I go over to attend to putting some down in
Ne4v York, and shall be happy to give the
proper Savannah authorities, if I knew who
they are, all the information possible on the
subject.
I don’t think that there is any danger of
wood pavement properly laid turniog out a
failure anvwhere. The facts in regard to its
use in London and Paris are patent, and every
visitor can verify them. It has been down
for some time in 'Malta, giving perfect satis
faction. This shows its adaptation to both
climates, Malta being withiu the gates of the
lower regions.
Don't let Savannah spend her money on
stone (lavements.
I shall be very glad to hoar from vou.
Yours very truly. R. 8. Ripley.
