AT THE THEATRE.
A Splendid Audience Witnesses Gus
Williams’ Hew Play.
A splendid audience filled the Theatre
last night to witness the first performance
in Savanuah of Gus Williams’ new plat,
“Capt. Mishier.” The play, a story of the
pavements of New York, consists of three
acts. There is a good plot, sufficient to
keep up the interest throughout, the prin
cipal subject of which is the presentation
of Mr. Williams in the character of a jolly
German policeman, which he does to the
utmost satisfaction of the audience. From
the opening to the close of the piece there
was a continuous laughter and applause.
The play is the sequel to “One ol
the Finest,” which is familiar to all
who have ever seen Mr. Williams. In the
character of “Capt. Mishier” he is pro
moted from the rank of roundsman to the
command of a precinct. His songs are
always happy. At the end of the first act
Mat night the dream scene, in which the
filial “Captain” sings to sleep
the child “Jeannette” was ap
plauded again and again. His
song, “Pretty Little Dark Blue
EvA,” w-as encored. Mr. Williams sup
port is good. “Little Jeannette,” by title
“Lillie Campbell,” is a winning charac
ter beautifully acted. “Edward War
ker ” the scheming villain, whose end was
the source of anew life to “Capt. Mish
ier," was strongly and well acted. Miss
McKean as “Violet Pillsbury,” the dam
sel of uncertain age, won repeated ap
plause. This afternoon at matinee the
play will l>e repeated with a change of
songs, and to-night Mr. Williams will ap
pear in his old play “One of the Finest/'

HORSE THIEVES AT WORK.
Two Valuable Turnouts Stolen froiu the
Street Last Night.
During the sales at the court house yes
terday, Charles Blanc?, a guard at the
jail purchased a bay horse, a i/0i buggy,
and a set of harness, and for some hours
was congratulating himself on being the
owner of the turnout. About 5;30 o’clock
Jje drove to the jail and hitched the ani
mal to a post near by on Ilall street. In
some wav tie broke loose, and was again
fastened "by someone to a telegraph pole
in Gordon street lane, between Whitaker
and Bull streets. AYhen Blance
discovered that the horse had
left the jail be reported the matter to the
police barracks and in other portions of the
citv, but could find no trac either of the
horse or buggv. He finally returned to
the jail, where he learned that the animal
was hitched in Gordon street lane. Has
tening to the place indicated, he was told
by a negro living in the neighborhood
that he bad seen a man unfasten the horse
from the telegraph pole and jump into the
buggv and drive off down AVhitaker street
towards the Bay. A search
but up to a late hour no trace of the
missing horse and vehicle or of the un
known driver had been discovered.
Driven Off In Daylight.
Another case of a similar character was
reported to the police later in the evening.
Mr. McMahon, a salesman for Messrs. A.
and A. G. Ehrlich, went into the saloon of
Henry F. Suiter, on the corner of
AVest Broad and Harrison streets,
leaving a horse and buggy be
longing to his employers outside.
AVneu he came out the turnout had disap
peared. A woman said she saw a man
jump in and drive quickly up the street.
The horse was valued at S4OO. The theft
was a most daring one, it being early in
the evening, and in almost broad daylight
when it was perpetrated.

TO BP TRIED FOR MURDER.
Charles Devans, the Author of the Mon
teith Station Tragedy Lagt August,
Under Indictment.
Among the prisoners confined in the jail
who will probably be tried during the
present term of the Superior Court is a
negro named Charles Devans, who was
indicted by the grand jury on 3londay lor
murder. It will be remembered that on
Aug. 18 last a negro boy named Richards,
about 18 years of age, was fatally shot in
the head at Monteith Station. The ball
passed through the brain and lodged in
the back of the head. Richards was
brought to St. Joseph’s Infirmary in this
citv and died the next day. At the in
quest. which was held by Coroner Sheftall,
the testimony of AV. W. White, who had
a store at the station, as well as the evi
dence of three negroes named John Ca
pers, 3Loses Screven and Johu Johnson,
went to show that all the colored men
were skylarking at White’s store, when
Johnson bappenmg in Devans threw him
down. Johnson retaliated by touching
Devans on the head, and at the same time
appears to have given the latter to under
stand that he was not in the habit of
playing with negroes like Devans. Div
ans, it is said, then ran towards the door,
pistol in hand, at the same time turning
the cylinder until he got the hammer over
a cartridge. Richards at this mo
ment seized Devans’ baud and
begged him not to shoot John
son. The prisoner, it seems, suc
ceeded in freeing himself from Richards
and tired at the latter, who fell wounded
to the floor. Devans made his statement
to the Coroner’s jury, and claimed that
the shooting was done at the time the
effort was being made to take the weapon
from him, and that after the pistol was
/•ut of his band ho saw Richards on the
floor. He also claimed that the wounded
man and himself were always friends.
The jury attributed death to a gunshot
wound inflicted ly Charles Devans, and
considered the offense manslaughter. The
prisoner was committed to jail by the
Coroner, where he has since been confined.
APPROPRIATED THE CARGO.
How the Owner of the Steamer ‘’Ama
zon'’ Made Business Lively.
An interesting suit for the recovery of
cotton was begun in the United States
Court, before Judge Boarman, yesterday.
It is that of J. H. RuddeU, administrator
for Reuben R. Turner, vs. David R. Dillon.
In 1865, 100 bales of cotton were shipped
by the plaintiff on the steamboat Amazon,
owned by the late David R. Dillon, at
McCoy’s Bluff. S. C.. to be transported to
Augusta. The cotton was never de
livered. and the plaintiff claims that Dil
lon converted it to his own use. The suit
is for the value of the cotton and interest,
amounting in all to about $25,000.
An action of trover was brought in the
Superior Court of Chatham county in
1870. and in 1875 was removed to
the United States Court, as the parties to
the suit reside in different States. Messrs.
Tompkins and Norwood represented the
plaintiff' and Capt. George A. Mercer the
deteudant. Among the other pleas filed
by the delendant was that of the staiute
of limitations, it being claimed that more
than four years had elapsed between the
loss of the cotton and the commencement
of suit. Before the submission of the
question to the jury a motion to strike out
the plea of the statute of limitations had
to be determined by the court. It was
claimed by the plaintiff that the statute
could not apply to this case, and that pre
scription should have been pleaded. After
argument had been heard the court re
served its decision until to-day, when the
point will be determined and the case will
be submitted to the jury on the evidence.
THE OLD Sl'BlT Bit.
Street Improvements In Yamacraw—A
Busy Part of the City.
The workot widening River street from
West Broad street and the Ogeechee
canal will be completed in a few days.
The only unwidened part is that in front
ot the Upper Rice Mills. W T orkmen have
been engaged for several days in demol
ishing the brick building opposite the
mill gate, formerly used as an office, and
when that is finished all that will remain
to be done will be to remove a brick fence
on the same property, and fluish grading
and paving the street.
The extensions of Indian street and Bay
street are now being used as thorough
fares. It is understood that it is part of
the system of improvements to pave In
dian street and also to extend the paving
of Bay street. Farm street should also be
paved from the Bay to River street.
With the Central Railroad’s tracks ex
t- nded through River street r.nd the City
and Suburban Railway street tracks con
tinued westward along Bay street front
Whitaker to West Broad and thence
through Indian street to the Ogeechee
Canal, Yamacraw will be a lively part of
the citv. As it is, with the large business
done at the Ocean Steamship Company’s
wharves and at the warehouses, rice
mills, cotton presses, barrel factories,
paper mill, machine shops, blacksmith
shops and other industries, it is a busy
locality, teeming with stir aud hustle.
SAM SINCLAIR’S SINS.
How He Worked a New York Bank and
Got Away with the Boodle—Living in
Fine Style in a Barracks Cell.
Samuel Sinclair, Jr., the shrewd young
Now Yorker who was arrested by Detec
tive Ivaufmann a lew days ago for the lar
ceny of $B5O, while he was endeavoring to
perfect plans for his flight to Cuba, still
remains in his cell at the police barracks
and is living in fine style, having his
meals served to him from a restaurant.
Yesterdav Mr. Katifmann received a letter
trom C. H. Lake, Under Sheriff at Fre
donia, N. Y., for Chautauqua county,
which throws some light on the case. The
letter says:
“Samuel Sinclair, Jr.. drew his check for
$B5O on the First National Bank of
Sing Sing and fraudulently repre
sented that he had money there ami
induced the partv here to give him a draft
on New York Tor that amount. He at
once left and got cash at another baik
the same dav, which was Nov. 17. I am
surprised that he bad no more money left,
and think he has put it somewhere for
safe keeping. I have not yet learned
whether he sent $4OO to his wile or not. 1
am getting a requisition, and l hope to be
with you the last of next week. In case
anything happens that you cannot hold
Sinclair, telegraph me at once. If he is
let go try and induce him to go home. He
is from an excellent family.”

MARSHAL MASON IN COURT.
Charged wtth Personating s Revenae
Officer and Defrauding the Govern
ment.
Benjamin F. Mason was tried in the
United States Court yesterday charged
with violating the Revised Statutes, in
representing himself as a revenue officer,
and in such character demanding and re
ceiving money to settle cases of violation
of the revenue law. It was alleged that
3lason had collected $7 each from AV. AV.
Anderson and Mrs. Eliza Beachner. The
evidence in the case of Anderson showed
that Mason went to the store kept by the
former, and told him that he had
violated the revenue law in neglect
ing to scratch the stamps from empty
cigar boxes, and that he was liable
to a very heavy penalty. Mason said he
was an officer of the Internal Revenue
Department and would make a case
against him. Mason then went to Collins
Cochran, who is indicted for a similar
offense. He owed Cochran S6O and had
given him his note. Cochran asked him
for the money. 31ason told him that he
would get it tor him. They went to An
derson’s store and Mason told Cocjiran
how t > act. Cochran went inside, pre
tended to be a revenue officer and wanted
$25 to settle the case. Anderson finally
paid him $7. This amount was credited
to Mason on the note which Cochran held
and the note was not in evidence.
In the case of 31 rs. Blachner the prose
cuting witness could not appear, but a
receipt which Mason had given her for $7
as a settlement ol the case he pretended
to have against her, was produced.
The District Attorney offered to Pdfcin
evidence several other cases on the part
of the prisoner of a similar character, but
the court ruled it inadmissible on the
ground that the transactions were not
pleaded in the indictment.
The defense, which was conducted by
Isaac Beckett, Esq., held that there was
no evidence to show that 31ason had rep
resented himself to Mrs. Beachner as a
revenue officer, aud had demanded aMd
received money from her in that capacity.
AVhile it was not denied that the money
had been collected from Anderson, it was
held that 3lason did not do it, and that
Cochran was the guilty man.
The jury retired at 4 o’clock, but up to
midnight had not agreed upon a verdict.
The probabilities are that it will be dis
charged without reaching a conclusion.
THE CHESAPEAKE DISASTER.
The Investigation in Progress at Balti
more—Raising the Sunken Vessel.
The investigation of the collision be
tween the steamships AVilliam Lawrence
and Miller in the Chesapeake, is going on
at Baltimore. Capt. Clarke, of the Miller,
stated that the night of the collision he
first saw the masthead light of the Law
rence when the vessel was two miles off.
This was about 5:30. AYhen about half a
mile off the Lawrence showed both side
lights. He blew one whistle as a signal
to pass to port, but received no answer,
which he attribut’d to the fact that his
signal hail not been heard on account of
the high wind. Then saw the Lawrence
close out her red light and show the
green. Then gave the quartermaster or
ders to blow two whistles and put the
wheel to starboard, which was done. At
the same time that he blew two whistles he
heanj one blown from the Lawrence. He
had intended to pass to port, but not get
ting any return signal to his first whistle,
and seeing the Lawrence’s red light closed
in, was forced to pass to eastward on ac
count of the closeness of the vessels.
Alter blowing the second signal witness
stopped the Aliller, and three minutes
later the collision took place.
The testimonj of Roderick Chisolm, the
quartermaster, and that of John Johnson,
the second mate, agreed with Capt.
Clark’s. John Clark, the seaman on the
Aliiier’s lookout, testified that he saw the
Lawrence’s masthead light when the ves
sel was entering the Craighill channel,
about a mile oil'. The Miller blowed one
whistle when the Lawrence showed her
green light. The Lawrence afterwaids
showed both lights. About five minutes
after the 3iiller blowed one whistle the
Lawrence blowed one. The Lawrence
was then showing her green light, and the
Miller blowed two whistles, when the
Lawrence again blew one. Half a min
ute later the Jliller gave two whistles
again. By that time both lights of the
Lawrence were showing.
Though all the witnesses agreed that the
Lawrence’s bow struck the 3iiller forward
on the starboard side, there was some
divergence of testimony as to the exact
position. Capt. Clark thought the Law
rence came on broadside; the quarter
master believed the Lawreueo struck
slanting from abaft, and John Clark, the
lookout, said the Lawrence came on slant
ing from ahead, and alter striking swung
around. Capt. Hooper’s witnesses had
not been examined.
The work of raising the Miller has been
begun by the Baker Salvage Company,
and she will probably be afloat by the last
of the week. Divers' were sent down to
examine the damage, and reported that
a hole eight feet wide was in the side ot
the vessel, which extends 25 feet down:
wa rd beneath the promenade deck, and
conforms to the shape of the bow of the
William Lawrence. The Lawrence is in
the dry dock, where sue is being re
paired,'and will be placed on her route
again as soon as possible.
