8 HIS DISGUISE FAILED HIM “DR." HAMMOND ALIAS HARRIS CAUGHT AT WAYCROSS. 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.

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. A LET-UP IN THE RAIN. The Signal Service Predicts Fair Weather To-Day.

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: New Orleans 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0— 1 Charleston.. 1 0 4 0 0 4 1 0 x—lo liutteiies—Hinitli and Hines, Sommers aud Wells.

What is Going on in South Carolina’s Metropolis. Charleston is agitated over tho refusal of the City Council to permit the building of bow windows in King street. David Mnybrook, a Charleston book koeper, had his lingers blown off while handling a dynamite cartridge. Another colored preacher has entered complaint in Charleston that he was made to ride in a “Jim Crow” car on tho Western and Atlantic railroad. He is a Congrega tional minister, is a doctor of medicine, and is a recent graduate of the Nashville Medi cal College. The United States District Court con vened ou Tuesday. This session is the first that has lieen held since January, owing to the deficiency in the appropriation for the Judiciary Department, and as a consequence tlic docket is very heavy. One hundred and six cases have been sent, up by the Com missioners for tho consideration of the grand jury, requiring tho pre< -nee of about 300 negro witnesses and defendants. The .Wi'M mid Courier says that nothing furl her could be learned yesterday in regard to the Clyde steam hips. It. is said that Adger's wharve-.. are owned by t,h*> Charles ton Warehouse and Steamship Navigation Company. The South Carolina Railway 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 the Navigation Company, on tlie Cooper river. It may be that this is the first step towards bringing the railroads and t he ships together. It is not. vet definitely known what will be done with the Union and Ad gor's wharves. Tho Georgia Infirmary Concert. The concert for the Georgia Infirmary took place last evening ut the Theatre before n small audience. About 300 peoplo were present, the rain buviug kept many from attending. The music was well rendered, and the cornet and violin added very mate rially to the excellence of the performance. To this soeiety of young colored people, working so earnestly in so praiseworthy an undertaking, much credit is duo. A Warning.

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 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.

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."

Brush your teeth care fully with fragrant SOZODONT and you will lie charmed with the result, for it is without equal as a deutrifiee.
