The Florida Land Agent and Fugitive
From Justice Awaiting Extradition—
His Attempt at Disguise Not Weil
Carried Out -Hla Willingness to Set
tle the Land Deal With Mr. Jackson.
“Dr.“ William Hammond, Hernando coun
ty’s fugitive druggist and land agent, who
left Savanna!) on Monday to be out of tlio
way of the officers who were on liis track,
is in jail at Waycross. Deputy Sheriff
Rhodes, who tracked him as fur ns Jesup on
Tuesday, is with Hammond awaiting a
requisition from Gov. Gordon, which Oov.
Perry lias asked for, when lie will bo taken
back to the scone of his misdeeds.
Hammond is charged with soiling whisky
illegally in Hernuiuui county sun! is under
two indictuionte by the grand jury. He
gave bond tor #I,OOO which ho forfeited and
came to Savannah. While hero he started
a sort of land agency business and nego
tiated the sulo of 100 acres of laud aud his
drug business in Macon, Fla., with Mr.
Janies Jackson.
The details of ttie transaction nnd the
fact of Hammond's sudden disappearance
were given in the Morning Hews yester
day. Deputy Sheriff Rhodes, who’ camo
here on Monday, in company with Detective
Wetberborn, niude a thorough search of the
city, and learned that his man had left on
the Florida train. Ile had his trunk chocked
to Josum but left word at his boarding
house that he was going to Atlanta and
would be back last night.
Officer Rhodes went to Jesup, but. failed
to find his man there. He learned, however,
that be bad been there, but had gone on to
Way cross. The officer took the next train and
on his arrival at AVaycross found Hammond
at a hotel registered as AVillhun Harris. Ho
had changed his dress, shared olf his hoard
and whiskers, and had his hair cut. close so
that at first ho was not recognized. He was
taken into custody by Deputy Sheriff Hale,
and will Is* held until the arrival of requisi
tion papers.
Detective Wethcrhom, who had a war
rant for Hammond’s arrest here, received a
telegram yesterday morning from the
Florida officer stating that he laid his man
safe, and asking the detective to notify Mr.
Jackson, who nan a §IOO claim on Ham
mond. In a letter which was received
later 111* officer said tlint Hammond
had only S!K) with him at Wave rose a:ul
that the remainder of the #sof> which ho
got from Mr. Jackson he had left hero in
Savannah. Ho said that if Mr. Jackson
would return the papers which were
made oat lust week he would pay him back
the SSOO which Mr. Jackson paid for tho
Florida property.
R. D. Walker, Jr., Ksq., who was Mr.
Jackson's nttorney and drew up the papers,
wont to AVaycross yesterday to interview
Hammond, and if possible to arrange a set
tlement.
Hammond bar! titles to four pieces of land;
one homestead fract of 160 acres, and the
other tracts containing 7t£ acres, one of
these being a lot in tho town of Macon with
a drug store on it. Tho titles
were recorded with the seal of the
court on them. Upon those titles
Mr. Jackson advanced the #.500. The
title to a lot iu Slacou was duly executed
and recorded, but the gi-antoes there claim
that the money was not paid. Dr. Ham
mond. Mr. Walker says, acted in bad faith
in leaving Savannah as he did before his
client huif returned from hfs inspection ot
the property in Florida. Mr. Jackson was
willing to give him #I,OOO in two cash pay
ments if the property was found as repre
sented. Enough was found satisfactory,
however, to secure the amount advanced.
Mr. Jackson has no criminal charge against
Dr. Hammond.
The latter represented himself here and at
Waveross as a Mason, Knight of Pythias,
Odd Fellow and a member of one or two
other organizations. He changed his ap
pearance after leaving Savannah so as to
look as nearly op|>osite to the descriptions
of him, which were telegraphed over the
country, as he could. In addition to a war
rant for his arrest on a misdemeanor charge.
Officer Rhodes holds a warrant for his
arrest for obtaining a title to Florida lands
by fraud.
FIGHT BETWEEN LOVE AND PRIDE.
Love Seriously Wouuded-Pride Put
Under Restraint.
A serious cutting scrape occurred late
Tuesday night on Jefferson and Charlton
streets. Adam Pride and Willie Love, two
youths, wore out together, and whether
they hud a quarrel isa matter of uncertainty
on account of the silence of tho two parties,
hut they were seen seulfting on
the street corner, ljookcrs-ou, however,
thought they were playing anil paid no at
tention U> them. Alter a moment they
separate)l, and Love went home and un
dressed for bed. He felt a pain in the small
of his back, and when betook oil'll is clothes
he looked in the glass to see where he was
hurt, for he thought that Pride
had bit him, but ho found
a cut three or four inches long
and apparently deep. He aroused his fam
ily and a physician was sent for. His wound
was not thought to be dangerous at iho
time, but it has been bleeding ever siaoo, al
though every effort has been mode to stop
the liow of blood. Neither of the boys have
anything to say about the affair, anil it is
thought to bo the outcome of a young men’s
quarrel. The police were notified and Pride
was arrested and taken to the barracks.
Love is at his homo on Harris street, be
tween Montgomery and Jefferson.

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
A South Carolina Negro Brought Hero
to Await ft Requisition.
Solomon Somers, a South Carolina negro,
was brought to tills city yesterday morning
nnd lodged in jail to await a requisition for
his return to South Carolina on a charge of
murder. The crime with which ho is
charged occurred in Clarendon county, S.
C., on June 4. The story given of it is thut
Somers became cognizant of improper rela
tions between the wife of another negro
named Do won and a neighbor and told tho
story ns a good joke on Bowen, who denied
its truth nnd charged Somers with lying
about it. They quarreled over the matter,
but peace was made between them, and it
was thought that it was all over with until
One day when Bowen was talking
to his employer, Somers stepped up behind
him nnd struck him in tho head with mi
iron bar, cracking his skull. Bowen died
two days later, and Sinners left for Georgia.
A few days ago Postmaster Rumph, near
where the crime was committed, received
in the /nail a letter addressed to Elizabeth
Seniors, Solomon’s wife. It was learned
that tho fetter instructed his wife whore to
meet him, so Mr. Rumph, Jr., was made
deputy sheriff nnd wan sent instead of the
wife. Ho found tho fugitive working on a
grave! train on tho Savannah, Florida and
Western about twenty-five miles from this
city. He arrested him, hound nnd ironed
him, and brought him in to await a requisi
tion. The prisoner said he would go back
without a requisition, but tho deputy con
cluded that It would bo lx'st to have one.
Somers was seen at the jail last night but
refused to talk about the crime. To every
question ho responded “Dunno nuthin bout
it.” lie is a tall muscular negro apparently
about JO or 35 years old.
VETERANS TO ORGANIZE.
A Meeting to bo Hold Next Week at
Armory Hall.
A movement to organize a Confederate
Veterans’ Association in Savannah has been
on foot for some time. The Mohm.no News
has referred to the movement several times,
but until now' no definite action has been
taken. A mooting of veterans will be held
at Armory Hull next Wednesday night,
when the initial step toward an organiza
tion will be made.
The movement is receiving a hearty in
dorsement. With the large number oi vet
wins that there is in Savannah it is rather
surprising that there never has been an or
ganization of any kind. No particular plan
has boon considered, but correspondence
with the officers of tho R. E. Lee Camp of
Richmond, \ T u., and of the Confederate
Survivors’ Association of Augusta, will
bo placed before the meeting. The
It. E. Leo Camp is a chartered organiza
tion, and has seven camps organized
under its charter. Four of them are in
Virginia and West Virginia, one in Jackson
ville, Fla,, and the other two in California
and Texas. It is probably the leading Con
federate soldiers' organization in the coun
try, and is well known all over tho North
mid West as it is in the South.
The Confederate Survivors Association of
Augusta has u large membership. Col. C.
C. Jones is its President. The constitution
and by-laws of both organizations will be
submitted to the meeting, and it is likely
that from one or tho other a
plan of organization may be formulated.
It is not improbublo that a camp of the
Virginia organization will tie instituted and
named after some of Georgia’s brave
defenders, Bartow, Habersham, Prendergnst
and a dozen others whoso names would
honor the organization.
The main purpose in the minds of those
who have interested themselves in tho
movement is the bringing together of the
gallant and brave soldiers who fought
together, but who in twenty odd years have
separated and lost sight or each other, the
care of the sick and needy and in death the
rendering of suitable honors.

THE BAT AND BALL.
Charleston Wins Another Game From
the Discouraged Pelicans.
New Orleans, July o.—New Orleans
aud Charleston set out to play off two post
poned games to-day but the afternoon game
was postponed on account of rain. Charles
ton was playing its second inning and had a
man on third with one out. Tho morning
gmno was very one sided, the locals playing
their worst game in months. They couldn’t
hit (Smith, they couldn’t field, Somers
couldn’t get the ball over the plate and
Wells couldn’t catch him. The result of all
these “eouldn’ts” was that New Orleans
couldn’t win. Charleston played a magnifi
cent game and its outfield was again im
passable. Grady’s muff, the only one made
by the visitors, was excusable. New Orleans
left for Memphis this evening. Charleston
followed several hours later on its way
home. The innings were:

nessed by over 100,000 people, or an average

The .Wi'M mid Courier says that nothing

Company own most, if not all the stock in
this concern, so that the report that the
South Carolina Railway Conumny owned
Adger’s wharves w as not very far out of the
way. The steamship Cherokee will load
ami sail next Friday from the wharves of

Advice to Mothers.
Mrs. Winslow's Sootliing Syrup should
always lie used whoa children are cutting
teeth. It relieves the little suffer at once; it
produces natural, ipuct sleep by relieving
the child from pain mid the little cherub
awakes as “bright as a button.’’
It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes tho
child, softens the gums, allays all pain, re
lieves wind, regulates tho bowels, and is tho
best known remedy for diarrhoea, whether
arising from teething or other cuustw. 35

GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS.
Matters of Money end Management
About Various Lines.
The Atlanta and West Point railroad di
rectors have declared a dividend of 3 per
cent. The annual stockholders meeting will
bo held in Atlanta July 25, when a president
and board of directors will be elected.
A competent authority states that there
are contracts out among the car works for
40,000 cars. Nearly all the railroad com
panies have arrangements under wav for in
creasing thoir shop facilities. The Pennsyl
vania railroad will lead off with a $500,000
machine and repair shop. Machine shop
work is in very active demand.
Work on the Orange Bolt (Fla.) railroad
is progressing well. Mr. J. E. Visage, who
has the contract for 135 miles of the road,
says that not only his but the remaining
portion of the grading will be completed in
ample time to have the rails laid and trains
running by Nov. 1. The report that was in
circulation a short time ago, that the Orange
Belt was financially involved, Mr. Visage
says, was all a myth. The company, headed
by Mr. P. A. Demons, have aJI the funds
necessary for the speedy completion of the
road.
The total earnings of South Carolina’s
railroads for May were $418,417 (X), an in
crease of $35,481 78 over the corresponding
month last year. The Charleston and Sa
vannah’s earnings wero 835,(506 04, a de
crease of $704 32. The Port Royal and
Western Carolina road’s earnings wore
$ 12,885 02, a decrease of $05)6 71. The Port
Royal and Augusta earned $22,754 76, an
increase over last year of $5,415 41. The
showing altogether is remarkably good.
The most astonishing increase was in the
Sosscngor earnings of the Asheville and
partanburg railroad, which amounted dur
ing the month to 287 per cent, over May,
1886. This is due to the operating of the
road through to Asheville, and the improve
ment in facilities and accommodations.
THE BUSINESS WORLD.
R. G. Dun & Co.’a Record of Failures
in the South.
R. G. T(un & Co.’s circular, giving the
business failures for the first half of 1887, is
just out. The Georgia failures foot up 115
with $1,017,212 liabilities, as against 124
failures with $1,160,163 liabilities for the
first six months of 1886.
For the first half of 1887 the failures in
the United States are 4,012 in number as
compared with 5,156 for the same period in
the previous year, indicating a decline of
244. While there is a marked decrease in
the number of failures, the liabilities show
a slight increase. For the last half year the
liabilities were $55,188,000, as against $50,-
434,000 for the first half year of 1886.
The report says: “In view of the very ex
tended business done, and the highly pros
perous condition of things, these figures are
extremely gratifying, for, although there is
an increase in the average liabilities of
failures, the number and the amounts are
small in comparison with the volume of
trade transacted. It may be doubted if in
the history of the country the number of
the casualties was ever so small in compari
son with the number of persons engaged in
business, and the extent of the transactions
now carried forward. The increase in
liabilities is no doubt the result of specula
tive failures. If these were omitted the or
dinary legitimate business disasters would
be exceptionally small, compared with the
extended character of general business
done."
