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.

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.” river and h arbor.

Guckenheimer and Heury Solomon, trus tees, and others, against the Tybee Im provement Company, asking the court to order the sale or the property of the com pany to meet it3 bonds for $9,830, due May 1, 1884, besides the interest due on the un paid coupons.

City Court. The only case tried in the City Court yesterday was that of N. H. Monck against H. F. AVtllink, being a suit for damages predicated upon what purported to be a malicious legal proceeding. The case being submitted to the jury, it re turned a verdict in favor of the defendant, after being out but a few minutes. The court will meet this morning.at 10 o’clock, when the case of A. A. Smith against the Central Railroad and Bank ing Company will be called. 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. The $75,000 Prize to an Unknown Hero.
