The Morning Nrrs announced yester day the arrest in Jacksonville of W. P. Hamilton for using the United States mail 9 for improper purposes. It is charged that Hamilton has bean working a confidence game through the mails and that he has lx on spererating for some time past,but not until recently have the post office inspectors had any clue to his identity or any knowledge Of his method. The needed information was obtained through a Savannah merchant. On Saturday. May 28, Mr. J. C. Thomp son, grocer at Barnard and Broughton streets, received a circular, of which the following is a copy: ‘WORXIN a" THE MAILS, lu sending you this letter I will sav that your Bam*- has been given me as a person who would like to make a fortune as easily an i quickly as poacible.

WHO KENT THE CIRCULAR. Acoompanving the circular was a small piece of brown paper on which was written wMlink: “Send money by express. W. P. Jacksonville, Fla." And on the left-hand corner of the envelope: “If |H delivered return to lock l>ox 295, Jack- Fla.” Mr. Thomjjson was not the |Hpr Savannah gentleman who receives! circulars. In fact, it is thought that a Hrgr number of them were mailed to this It is certain that they were received Wwme others, among whom was Mr. Pat- Burns, who at once pla<-ed the circular in the hands of a Morning Mews reporter. Mr. Thompson took the letter to United States Commissioner Erwin, who devised a plan to capture Ham ilton. He wrote to United States Marshal Bird at Jacksonville and inclosed the circu lar and slip of paper received by Mr. Thompson. He a'eo stated that on Monday he would mail to Hamilton's lock box an uii *gned letter, telling him to call at the ex press offire for a package. He instructed the Marshal to fix up a decoy package at the express office, and w%, Ha mllton called to get it, to require him receipt for it, and as soon as be signed bis name to arrest him. The letter to fhe Marshal was ninilM Saturday night. On Monday morning, whiie Commissioner Erwin was considering the letter to be sent to Hamilton, Post (Mice Inspector Boykin ■walked into his office and the case was turned over to him. When he had learned the details he telegraphed the Marshal and asked him if he had received (’otnmi.wcioner Erwin’s letter. The Marshal answered that he had. Inspector Boykin then wired him to take no step* in the matter as he would be there the next day. He took the train for Jacksonville and reached there Tuesday morning. He then proceeded to carry out the plan adopted by Commissioner Erwin, but did not perfect the details until Thursday when the trap was sprung. OFFICERS SET THEIR TRAP. The bogus package was placed in the ex press office, and Special Deputy Sheri(T Vin zant was placed in the office while Officer Bennett remained outside. Insjiectors Boy kin and Williamson went to the post, office the lock box. Meanwhile, Hamil- walking the streets with a friend Feiber.

He replied that he was but Hamilton was just an the street. jyHnzant as If si Feiher to walk over with him iHe wished to see Hamilton, and the two NJRued Hamilbm while Officer Rennet fol lowed a tew feet away. Vinzant asked Hamilton what his name was, and be gave it W. P. Hamilton. He was immediately arrested and jailed. Officer Ben net taking Feiber also. The two were taken before United States Commis sioner Walker. Hamilton confessed that, he was the sender of the circulars, but declared that Keiber was innocent. Feiber protested that lie hiul nothing to do with the case mid wa very muchiwensed at his arrest. Both Were Ivrtd and their Ini! was fixed at $->OO e*e-h, jn default of which they went to jail. When tlie lKHring was concluded they we:e soarcK< and. and upon Hamilton whs found SSI and a nnhib tof business canls. His room was searched also, and in his grip wore found a lot of the circulars, the ad dresses of several Savannah people and a package of letters, oiv* of which was from a (Georgia ismmaster asking what his tonus were. Inspector Bovkin said that the post offico ■uthdriHw. hn*e known for sonic time t hat sane one in J ksonnlle was playing a con fi lencc game, but they had not been able to g*t on his track before. VAX OI.D TP.ICK. The trick Mint Hamilton has been work ing if a very old one and it ha* been sue cessfully ]a-r|iet rated in a number of instance*. It. was plaved on a very exten sile scale just after the war. though the bait then was a lottery. The letters asked the recipient to buy a ticket an 1 the writers gnarautcod that lie would win the capital prize, the ivwi.i (or so generous n;i offer was that t he lottery company desired a man of his standing and prominence to draw the prize in orator that, the lottery might receive the benefit of ltis name. A little flattery will often draw money as sugar will dies, and many n man tout money for the tickets that never came because * there wan no such lottery an the one referred to. Ho with this case; none of those who sent Hamilton money, and doubtless they were plenty, re ceived a dollar’s worth of ‘‘queer” or “go.*l*,’’ as he called it. He was perfectly safe from exposure by them, for they would not dare inform against him, because th-y were equally guilty. The only risk is in sending the circulars to such a inan as Mr. Thompson, and the remit of such a mistake is generally three years in th penitentiary. A CLUMSY JOB Hamilton played his hand with the clum siness of a novice. In the first place, the statement that the authorities were making every effort to capture the counterfeiters a? the hundreds of thousands of dollars now in circulation is calculated to frighten off the neophyte rather than draw him into the net. He also states that greenbacks are worthless in Cuba, when as a matter of fact they command a premium there. In his last paragraph he comes out strong as a philanthropist. He attempt to begun*? the Savaimahians by ap pealing to the misfortunes imposed by the war. Hamilton is only one ol a number of his kind who are operating all over the country, but he will no doubt follow in the footsteps of fcis predecessors and leave foot prints that will point his successors to the place where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at work. A SEARCH FOR TWO SAILORS. They Were Not Wanted When Found —A Lively Chase. There was a rather livelv chase through the city yesterday after two sailors who were supposed to have left a vessel at quarantine and made their way to the city contrary to quarantine regulations. It was reported to the health officer about 9 o'clock yesterday morning that two sailors, who were hunting for a boarding house, had been heard to say that they had left their ship and had walked to the city, were at once sent out to appre hend them Then appeared to have been pretty hard to find, as it was not until fi o'clock last mclit that they were discovered and taken to the liarracks. There the health officer made a very thor ough inquiry concerning them. He found that they w ere two German sailors who bad shipped at New York, on the British ship Lancashire, for a Brazilian port. The cargo was to be obtained at Brunswick, Ga. On arriving there it was found that a cargo could not be secured for a South American port, but that one could be had for a European port. A contract was made for the European cargo. The two German sailors did not want to go to Europe, and so they severed their conneetioif with the ship, as they had a periect right to do under their contract. They started for Savannah on foot, and were about five davs in making the journey. They walked the entire dis tance. Of course when the facts were learn ed they were permitted to go their way. The Lancashire was not detained at the Brunswick quarantine, as there was no oc casion for detaining her there. When the sailors left her she was discharging ballast ut the ballast dump. The health officer heard from the Havannah quarantine sfca tion last night, and there were no sailors missing from there. CASSIDY’S WILD RIDE. He in Arrested for Reckless Riding Through the Streets. James Cassidy created some excitement yesterday aiternoon by riding through the city on horseback at a breakneck speed. He was first seen coming down Broughton street as fast as his horse could carry him* Officer Morgan started after him, but he was on foot, and Cassidy would have got away had it not been that Chief Fernandez, of the fire department took Officer Morgftn in his buggy and started with him in pursuit. Cassidy rode across the sidewalk at Broughton and Dray ton streets, turned down I tray ton to Con gress, up Congress to Abereora, across Abercorn to Broughton, up Broughton to Lincoln and over Lincoln to Bryan, where his pursuers caught tip with him. Chief Fernandez drove his buggy before the horse | and stopped for Officer Morgan to get out, but before the officer could step down Cassidy had ridden around the buggy and turned down Houston, on which street he rode to Bay. On the Bay his bridle was caught by C. Warkxneister, driver of a United States maii wagon. Cassidy leaped from his horse and cut Warkmeister severely with a raw hide whip that he carried. By this time the buggy ha/1 nearly caught him again, so he jumped into a carriage that was pass ing Officer Morgan called to the driver to stop and he did so. but Cassidy grabbed the lines, and while h<' and the driver were struggling for possession of them the horses trotted up Drayton street, and Officer Mor gan i-augnt them iu front of the Southern Bank. He took Cassidy to the police bar racks, but be was bailed out last night,. A WIFE’S INFIDELITY. A Wronged Husband Uses a Knife—A Sensation in Court. William Petit, J. F. Hogan and Mrs. Hogan were arrested yesterday morning and taken liefore the Mayor, Petit charged Hogan with stabbing him,and Hogan did not deny it. The testimony in the ease took a very sensational turn. Mr. and Mix. Hogan came to .Savannah a short while ago from Augusta and opened a boarding house on Mill street. They were poor, but every one considered them good and respectable prople. Hogan worked at the Ocean Steamship wharves, and got a number of men from the wharves to go to his house to board. Among them was William Petit. On Wednesday Hogan went back to Augusta to attend’ to some business and he returned yesterday morn ing. He went to his bouse, but could not get in until he found an unfastened window and through that he entered. He went to his room, but his wife was not there and the bed was untouched. He then began a search for her. He went to Petit's room and rapped at the door. Petit opened the door slightly and Hogan pushed his way in. When he entered he found his wit’e there too, and he immediately started to work on Petit with a knife.' He finally drove them both out of the house, clad only in their nignt clothes. Officer Htegins was near by, and he arrested the trio. In the Mayor’s Court Mrs. Hogan admitted im proper relationship with Petit, and said that she did not think it any of her husband’s business. When Mayor lister beard that testimony he discharged Hogan. Petit’s wounds are only trivial, and they will not seriously annoy hint. THE STRIKE ABOUT ENDED. Stevedores Accept the Longshore men’s Compromise. The longshoremen's strike has about drawn to a dose. It has not liven dually settled,but, will bo within the next few days. The longshoremen Thursday night reduced t heir demand on coast wise vessels to 20c. and 2.V., but they still n-.k 25c. and 20c. from fo-cign ships, which will have to pay the ad van ceil rates. The stevedores are willing to grant ail vance on the coastwise businoes, because they are certain that the American ve.-sol,, will allow them enough to cover it. They have also consented not to work sailors, as they have done occasionally. The only question that, remains 1.. be de tennined is whether they will comply with the demand of the longshoremen and work a gang of fourteen men. When they are loading heavy timber Ktt) nae as many aecixteen and o >nb.n, hut' when they are working on plwilw they use as few as ten. The longshoremen, how ever, want them to work fourteen on all occasions, and this, the stevedores refuse to do. They say they will employ a* many as they want and no more. The men ha ve lieon notified t hat they can go to work to-day. and some of them will do so unless they are held back by the others who may want to fight out this phut. They liegan loading t lie George VV. Fonimore, ,li,, yesterday at vim advanced wages.

The fire de]*rtment whs called out a few minutes after noon yesterday by an alarm from hox Si at the Central railroad depot. The alarm was caused by a burning chim ney at 195 Charlton street. The firemen’s services were not required, as the fire was extinguished before they arrived. SAVANNAH’S NEW INDUSTRIES. The Fertilizer Works and Cotton Oil Mill Sites Purchased. It is now a certainty that Savannah will have a cotton oil mill and anew fertilizer factory, and that within a very short time. The Southern Oil Company has purchased a tract of land from Frank A, Exley, on which to erect its works. The laud is on the Savannah river, near the water works tract. The Central Rail road Company will run a track there to facilitate the ’hauling of machinery while the works are being erected, and to’ enable the oil company to load into the cars at the mill after it is in operation. The new fertilizer company has also pur chased a Mte adjoining the DeLeon Fertili zer Company’s factory, and it will begin the building of its works as soon as practica ble. Tne Morning News several days ago announced the establishment of fertilizer works here and that various sites were then being considered.

SAVANNAHIANS IN THE LAND OF THE MONTEZUMAS. Ca.pt. W. G. Raoul and Messrs. J. Flor ence Minis and George D. Wild ley Back from a Trip Over the Mexican National Railway System-The Sale of the Road and Its Purchase by Capt. Raoul’s Company—lncidents of the Trip. President TV, ft, Raoul, of the Mexican National railroad, reached Savannah last night from Mexico, having lwen nine days on the road. He left the City of Mexico on May 25 in company w ith Mr. J. Florence Minis and Mr. George D. Wadley, who made the trip to Mexico with him, Eel;.stein Norton, Presidentof the Ixniisvilleand Nash ville railroad, and who is also interested in the Mexican National, and several other gentlemen. After leaving El Paso, on the Mexican frontier, they were turned lack by a disaster on the Union Pacific, and were delayed two days. traveling by diligence. Capt. Raoul and Messrs. Minis and Wadley made the Trip over the entire Mexican National system, starting from Laredo on the Texas border, and traveling over 800 miles of the surveyed but uucom ?leted gap between Saltillo and San iuis Potosi by diligence, a slow journey of eight days through a dry and almost totally barren section of country where water is scarce and the enormous cacti are the chief and almost only vegetation. This part of the trip, while not the most inter esting, was at least novel. The entire dis tance was traveled in a Concord coach pulled by eight mules. THE MEXICAN NATIONAL SYSTEM. At San Luis Potosi the party resumed travel by rail and went over the 800 miles of completed road which comprises the great Mexican National system. They reached the City of Mexico May 8. The sale of the road, to attend which was the principal object of Capt. Ramil's visit to the capital, did not take place until May 23. The Hale was under a decree of court, and it was expected that the road would be purchased by the new company of which Capt, Raoul is "President. BUYING THE ROAD. Mr. Norton, who was chairman of the purchasing committee, made the only bid that was offered —722,090—and it was ac cepted. As soon as the sale wa- declared the Mexican Department of Public Works was satisfied that the purchasing company was organized in compliance with the ar ticles of concession granted a year ago. The acceptance of the bid was approved, the minutes of the Court were drawn up iu English and in Spanish and the transfer was formally made to the new company, which is known as the Mexican National Railroad (Company, the old name being the Mexican National Railway Company. THE TRIP TO EL PASO. Capt. Raoul and the representatives of the road left the City of Mexico two days after the sale, on May 25, by the Mexican Central, returning to the United States via El Paso. Capt. Raoul will go front here to New York to complete the, organization of the company. Engineers are now in the field locating the route between Saltillo and San Luis Potosi, and its curst ruction will be begun at once. President Raoul -ays that the com pany’s intention is to have the road com pleted from Lsreilo to the City of Mexico in the next twelve months. The entire system comprises over 1,300 miles of road, 800 miles of which are now complete and in operation. SHORT LINE TO MEXICO. When the uncompleted portion is finished and the system is complete it will form a short line to the Mexican capital, and will penetrate the great mining and agricultural districts which are the wealth of the repub lic. The country is one of vast resources and ttaev are being rapidly developed. President Raoul rpcal• Anthusiasticoily of Mexico. The weather at the capital, while he was there, was about the same as it is here in October. At an altitude of 8,000 feet above the sea the atmosphere i-, of course, rarer than it is on the coast, but the climate is delightful. The city is one of great historic interest. The people are lios pitable and everywhere there are Ameri can*. During their stav at the capital Capt. Raoul and his party called on Minister Man ning and were very cordially received.

Editor Morning Jfews: It would seem that in a law-abiding State like Georgia, someone would interest himself in securing laws for the protection of game. Florida has laws to protect her game and plumed birds. South Carolina, too, has such laws, and yet with two gun clubs in the city of Savannah and others in different sections of the State, whose first principle should be game protection, no one has seen fit to take the initiatory stgp to secure general game laws in the State. Think of it! During the past winter I have seen live quail or partridges offered for sale ( in Savanna, birds trapped and openly shipped by express for sale here, in shoot ing the past season I have seen as many as ton traps in a day and found live birds in them in several instances. Why cannot the Chatham Gun Club.at once appoint a com mittee to frame a proper game law for the next session of the Legislature.' By all means stop this wholesale trapping and pot hunting, which must result, in the extermi nation of our splendid game, such as deer, wild turkeys and quail. Ruler. Truly a Household Remedy. 210 Bedford Av., Brooklyn, N. Y., March 12, 1584. —1 have used Allcock's Porus Plasters for tbe last twenty years. They are truly a household lamely. If one of my elsildren lias a cold aud wheezes, I put an Allcock's Porus Plaster on the chest and one between the shoulder blades. If any of tbe children have croupy coughs, or coughs of any kind, I place the" Plaster close up around the throat: the soothing effect is apparent almost always in two horn's. If they have a disordered stomach, a Plaster placed just below the chest bones makes di gestion perfect in half a day. If there is any looseness of the bowels, accompanied by (■oldness of tbe skin, two Allcock's Porus Plasters applied over tbe stomach cure in from two to live hours. I notice particu larly that these placers never abrade the skin or cause the slightest irritation. From my. own they never tail for rheumatism, palWi back or lum bago. fIIDDLEBROOK.

A GREAT ADVANTAGE To Brokers, Cotton Men and Merchants Is tbe new system of filing letters and valuable papers, invented by the Sherwood Ltter File Company, of Chicago. There is probably no business house in the South that handles the immense correspond ence that The Ltidden A Bates S. M. H. do. Then- trade extends to every section of the South, and their mail averages over !>OO let ters daily. And while their system of filing papers has been modern, simple and effi eient, the invention of Mr. .Sherwood so far la;, s over all previous inventions, that after caret ally examining all the systems for flhng papers now known to the business world, the L. A P. X, M. H. not only ordered a 4H-file tray cabinet for their own ue, but also se cured the agency for the sale of these goods in the .South. If the cabinet sent Messrs. L. A B. by the manufacturers is a fair s|MH*imen of the claw- of goods they manufacture we pre dict for them a large sale, as it is one of tile handsomest pieces of office furniture we have ever seen. Business men who are in terested in a labor-saving device, that will not only jiav for Itself the first year of its use, but will also answer the question of “How can 1 save my papers in caw of a fire' can settle the question bv calling on L & B.
