8 SYSTEMATIC BOBBERY. BOW TWO NEGROES PLUNDERED A WAREHOUSE. fcegular Visits Paid to a Tobacco Storeroom and Wholesale Lots Taken Away How the Thieves Were Run Down and Caught. Benjamin Young and Alfred Walker (ooloredi. were '■'nt to jail yesterday on a conunitineul from Justice Waring 11 iseil s court, charging lb cut with burglary, the offense being stealing tobacco from El’i*. Young &Cos Messrs. E lis, Young & t ’<>. have an office in the City Exchange on the east side. In the tiaseuieiit of the Exchange they have a warehouse for the storage of to bacco. but seldom have a very large stock on band. The warehouse ha- two approaches, but both are open, and ns the electric light dispenses a bright radiance ’round aln>uT. they felt no apprehensions of trouble from Uue.es. As but a small stock was kept on hand, it was not examined as care -1 u.lv as li u .m l have lieen had then* lieeu a Urge an our.t *:or" 1. Last T. rsux the K ■v* in the warehouse were count . but they failed to tally with the )ooks The linn had another count made but tbe rv-,i:t was the sain*. a heavy shortage in the t.umlxer of tioxes being dis- Ti eii - ;• and window were care fully examined, but the onlv trace found was the fact that the lock of the door lore some marks of hav ing been tampered with. Mr. Young, ot the tii iii. took entire charge ot the matter, an-i undertook to catch the thief orthievi-s He called upon Detective "Wctherlioni. explained the matter to him and left, confident that the bold purloiiiers c f his choice tobacco would soon li" in lim bo. Mr. Wetherhorn went to work, but the trail was faint Nothing was aid of the jobbery, it being kept so very quiet that. veil the tlmi's jiorter sus]iected iiotbing of the kind. The detective soon got oil a track and satisfied himself that he was on the right road, out he lacked yet the necessary evidence to hold his orb icier if arrested. After the discovery or the robbery the linn took the precaution of counting the lioxes every night and morn ing. Nothing wrong was observ si till yes terday utorning, " hen on making the usual count four more hoxe , were missing. Mr. Young then resolved on “war,” and united 1 is efforts with Mr. Wetherhorn to hunt the rascals down. The dues obtainod were followed out, more and fresh traces of the parties implicated secured and by .8 o'clock in the afternoon the shrewd detec tive and his active co-laborer had the sat is faction of arresting two of the thieves, and lad the name of the buyer of the stolen goods in their possession. They secured also the return of a [sirtion of the tobacco and information regarding where the bal ance was stored. When examined the negroes charg'd each other with tlie burglary, each admit ting he had received the t ibacco from the other and that the other fellow entered the warehouse. When the place was found where tue tobacco was sup posed to lie. the proprietor disclaimed all knowledge of it. A search warrant was procured and some tobacco was brought to light that Mr. Young identified as theirs. Ail their ping tobaccos were labeled, or rather hail their trade mark or name on labels which were pasted on the plug' . On a dose examination it was seen when' these tigs or pasters had been torn off, the mark or outline left on the tobacco being cjtut • plainly seen. The evidence was sufficient, and the tobacco was taken to Justice Rus sell's office. Benj. Young was the warehouse man, and it is supposed in this way he became fatnil lar with the amount of tobacco on hand and made his hauls accordingly. Walker hod formerly been a drayman for the house, but was discharged some time ago. It is thought thov hud one or more confederates, and that the raids were made by three or more at a time, one standing guard while the others entered the room. THE REMAINS IDENTIFIED. Furman M. Burkonstein the Man Killed on the Central Railroad. Sunday, July 17, the Mornixq News chronicled the killing of an unknown man on the Central railroad, at the 48-inile post. Besides this, there was a description of the party and the clothing lie worn This no tice fell into the 1 lands of his relations, and to-day his two brothers-in-law, E. J. Henary and T. J. Graham, of Guyton, this Mate, came lor the remains. The deceased. Freeman M. Burk-iistem, "was a farmer King near Guyton. He was 41 years old and o and dumb from his birth, lie was nci us ,n twl to start out from his home every now and then, remaining ab sent for some time. A few days before he was killed he started off as usual, going toward Milieu. He probably went up us far as he desired, and had turned and partly retract*] his steiss homeward, us he was walking towara Guyton when the engine struck him. Being deaf ainl dumb he did uot L oir the w histle nor the bell tif the locomo tive. mid when the tremor of the rails, or-the iee)K<rs, affected by the rapidly approach ing train was felt by him lie turned just in time to meet his doom. When hi.s relations saw the paragraph in the Morxino News they applied to the Central authorities and were oven free passage here. They saw Capt. Dixon ye.tenlay and identified the body from the description. To make sure, however, the KG. was exhumed and the gentlemen identified it beyond a question. It was proparsl for removal ami will lie carried to Guyton this morning. His rela t.ons expo s* themselves ns lieing well satis fied with the steps taken in the matter and think the remains w ere well cared for. THE FORDS’ TRIPLE BILL. The Next.

Waterepouts at Tybco. A rare and beautiful sight was witnessed off Tybee Island Sunday morning about 11 o'clock in the shspo of six immense water spouts. There were a number of visitors on the beach at the time when the spouts appeared. The sight from the deck or the pi lot boat Sprite was grand, and one that is not often seen. The pilots say that those are the first waterspouts appearing off Tyoee f or several years. THROUGH THE CITY. Items Gathered Here and Thera by the News Reporters. Chippewa Tribe No. 4, I, O. of R. M., 1 glil their ramp fires this evening. White Keys, better known as Barney K<>ys, has resigned from hi* position ns boat man at the Kurge office and P. B. Finney has been appointed ill his place. The latter entered upon the duties or the (Kisition yes terday. The imrcel of new rice received at New Orleans Saturday, and which was men tioned in .Sunday's issue of the News, was milled out yesterday and made altogether seven barrels, classed fair and sold for Bc. per pound. The pilot boat Sprite is on a pleasure cru s* which will last about throe weeks, during which time she will visit Charleston. There are several young ladies aboard, among them one from Tliomasville who has never seen Old (icean K'fore. Eliza Bird and Lizzie Gibbons were up lie fore Justice Waring Russell yesterday charged by E’.lu Gee with assaulting and cutting her with a knife in Telfair Place last Saturday. They gave bail and were bound over to appear nt the City Court. THE TEACHERS’ EXAMINATION. No Report Yet Made Concerning the Barnard Street School Vacancy. Kupt. Baker said yesterday that the Board of Education would not act on tho commit tee's recommendation regarding the Bar nard street school vacancy till some time in August. The committee examined thopn pi rs the evening after the examinations were eonclude*l. and the superintendent says they were pleased at the averages made by the applicants for the position. The scop, of tho examination was very broad and thor ough. The following are tho individual averages made by the eight candidates: 96, SS 5-U, 81, 79 1-9, 78 3, 78 1-9, 77 1-6 and 77. No names are given yet, so there will Ik* a good deal of speculation regarding the standing of the different ones, and probably a wide diversity of opinion. It is thought that Miss L. J. Craig and Mrs. K. E. Cotcli . tt, both of the Massie school, stand very high in the list. The average of all was si and a fraction, which the committee thought very fair. Great interest has been attached to this examination by the teachers and their friends, and all are anxiously waiting the committee's report. In making this report the committee will not only take into consideration these averages but also the experience of the teacher, their past school record and all matters connected therewith, so that the mere fact of securing the highest mark in this examination would not be sufficient link's.* all these other important points were satisfactory. THERMOMETER RISING. Indications of a Very Hot and Sultry Day Yesterday’s Report. The weather yesterday was very oppres sive. Tho thermometer was not so very high, but the humidity of the air and the general oppressive:less made it very uncom fortable for those' obliged to be out. The maximum temperature was 89.5, the mini mum 74. .' and tho general average 82. Lit tle or no breeze prevailed, and the people simply sweltered, rgist night the reports indicated a higher temperature to-ilay ami no prospect of rain. The maximum tem perature in the cotton region was at Way cross, where the mercury climbed un to 100’. A slight disturbance was had in the Gulf, the wind blowing at the rate of forty miles tier hour at Cedar Key. The temperature of the upper lake region has tumbled down to among the fifties, and there is n prospect that this will relieve this section some time the lntfi-r part of the week. Rain fell in all the cotton districts; and in the Carolina.*, where it was most needed, they had generous showers, though hardly sufficient to help the '•rous to any extent. At New Orleans 1.16 inches of rain fell from Jp. m., to 10 o’clock. A MIDNIGHT MARAUDER. A Night. Watchman Fires Two Shots at a River Thief About 1 o'clock last night Peter Murphy who is watchman of the bark Pohonto, saw a man rowing about the vessel in a small boat. He tried to get through lietween the vessel and the wharf but finding the place too narrow he pulled around the bow and back to the stern. Murphy kept an eye on Inland saw him attempting to steal tho skiff that was tics! t<> 1 lie boat. He called to the marauder to know what he wanted and no answer came, but the sound of tugging nt the ropes gave Murphy to un derstand that lii • fellow was still trying to get the boat loose, so he fired a shot to scare the thief, and succeeded, for he let go the lmat in Smart 'd out into the river. Murphv called to him to stop, hut he only sent hack mi impudent rejoinder, and another shot was fired over hi* head, but the thief pulled out and got away. Base Ball.

An impression prevails among those who are not well versed in such matters that the increase in the amount of the tax digest in creases the commissions of tho Receiver of Tax Returns. The fact is that the county pays commissions only on the amount called ror in the county’s budget of expenses for the year, and as the ex [lenses this year are less "than those of last year, tlie receiver actually gets less for his labors on the larger amount than he did on the smaller. It is owing to the increased care and vigilance of that officer t.haf the burdens of taxation are being reduced on the individual by his efforts in getting on his books property heretofore untaxed, and by increasing the valuation on property which previously re turned only a portion of its real value. The increase in the digest will decrease the rate df taxation from 90c. to about 32c. CHARLESTON’S WALK OVER. Nashville’s Experimental Pitcher Knoctted Out of the Box. Charleston", 8. C., July 25 Nashville tried a costly experiment to-day in the shape of anew pitcher, named Alexander, who yielded a total of twenty-five bases. Nicholas, the three-fingered catcher, played a superb game, but was badly supported, and the locals had a walk over. Both sides were credited with five errors, but the Nash ville errors were more costly, while those of Charleston were comparatively harmless. Both sides hit the ball very hard, but the visitors were unlucky, sending most of their bails into the strongly guarded outfield, whieli got twelve put outs.

Nothing could be in more marked ron i trust than the trvo ends of the street known as Park place. It may be described at pres ent as tieginning near the Post Office and ending at the water front and watermelons. There were more watermelons down at the foot of Park row yesterday than have been seen there l this season, and that is saying a great deal. W.-,u-r..ay morning a little blackboard on the pier of the Ocean Steamship Company of Savannah at the foot of Park row an nounced that the steamship City of Augusta, with a big cargo ofjwatemielons and several Southern people coming North under the delusion that it is cool here, had passed the Highlands. At 10:30 o'clock the big iron steamship swept up to her pier and then a large, hot pandemonium broke loose. Scores of big trucks with yelling perspiring drivers struggled for places on the pier, and the po lice officer on duty there shouted himself hoarse trying to keep each in his place. When the passengers had left the ship the watermelons disembarked. There were about 00,000 of them, and it seemed from the noise made bv the men who unloaded them thai there Was one man to every melon. There were, however, only 200 men. Each wore a decollotte outfit of an undershirt and a pair of overalls. The perspiration streamed from them until th-y looked as if they had been bath ing in watermelon juice. By way of keep ing enough moisture in the system, they stopped now and then to seize the blushing vitals of a watermelon that had been frac tured coming ashore. Piles of these broken melons accumulated on the pier. The red of the interior of the melons and the rich green of the rinds, with the black hull of the iron steamship as a background, made a striking combination of colors. When the broken melons had thrown out their red signals, several small boys an swered them with great promptness and made the soul of the i>olice officer weary. The country boy, who eludes the farmer’s bulldog or dodges the contents of his shot gun, steals a melon and lugs it off into some quiet corner of the cornfield, thinks he has tun and excitement, but his experiences are tame beside the melon escapades of these city boys who never saw a cornfield. The country boy, after he has carried a melon half a mile and then cut it, often finds it is green. The city boy has to run no such chances. He merely runs the gauntlet of tho police to the end of the pier, seizes the biggest piece of melon he can find, skulks behind trucks till he gets near the pier en trance, and then makes a desperate dash for some place of safety where he can gorge himself and get the cholera morbus unmo lested. “About 10 per cent, of a cargo of melons is lost through breakage and other causes,” said a dealer, “and sometimes I think 5 per cent of this loss accumulates on the dock. Say 180,000 melons a week come in here. That would give the boys 9,000 melons a week.” A reporter went in the big vessel’s melon hold to see the men unloading the cargo. Every minute a man would make toward him with a big, bulging wheelbarrow and yell, “Look out, there!” He would look out in that direction only to collide with another wheelbarrow, and provoke the terribly powerful profanity of another man. Each carload lot of melons was separated from each other lot with a sort of wooden cage, labelled with the name of the consignee. A carload is from 1.000 to 1,500 melons, and the freight amounts to about 890. The Charleston and the Mallory lines bring their contributions to the great supply, and even in the lass busy season the arrivals here amount to 200,000 a week, which, at the lowest price, would make the amount invested in melons in New York every week something beyond the compre hension of the honest farmer with his little 10 by 12 hill patches. There is, too, one character among the many dealers on the long pier at the foot of Park place who would take the conceit out of the average country boy who raises his little crop of melons for home consumption. Every such boy prides himself that he can surpass every other boy in telling whether a melon is ripe or not without plugging it and thus ruining its future usefulness. Each boy has his favorite rule for diagnosing a melon’s case without dissection and he will tell you all about it. There is an old melon dealer on the pier, Janies Tierney by name, who has the reputation of having never been fooled with a green melon. He cannot tell you how to decide by outward evidence the inward stab- of a melon, but he does it. He buys liig melons and he cannot afford to be fooled. Another expert is John Malloy, buyer for Janies A. Judge, one of the most extensive dealers on the market. A carload of the largest, and finest melons received this sea son wore at the point on the pier devoted to Mr. Judge’s fruit. Some modest melons were selling at $lO and sls a hun dred yesterday, hut Mr. Judge's giants cost $45. Sitting beside the display was J. F. Saun ders, a bronzed Southern gentleman He is the man who raised the melons, and he had come up all the way from his South Caro lina melon farm of forty-four acres b> see what sort of a reception New York would give his fruit. He raised forty seven acres this year with 140 hills to the acre. The bugs nipped off an average of forty hills to the acre —the bug, unlike the boy, prefers his melons green—which left 400 hills on each acre. The watermelon vine, if allowed to have its own prolific way, would produce a large number of melons of assorted sizes; but Mr.* Saunders allowed only one melon b> the vine, and f lien the vino came to un der stand that it had to devote all its atten tion to one object it did its level and biggest best. “These Georgia melons have been coming over since June,” said a dealer, “and the season may last over two weeks longer. Then the Virginia melons will have their turn. They come by rail and by the Old Dominion line. A melon doesn't like to travel on the cars very well, and it makes it slightly seasick to come by steamship. It lets to rest two or three days after its ar rival to lie in good shape.” AS hen the A irgiiiia melon has had its day, the New Jersey melon will come up smiling and blushing. Besides the big dealers there stoo I on the pier groups of men and women whore clamor could is* hear ! above the rat tle of the trucks and the shouts of melon un loaders. They were buyers of “specked" melons. They are the individuals who retail the red fruit on stands in the crowded quar ters at le. a gnaw. Their skill inoarvingand making the most of Ihe melon is wonder ful. They wnste not a fragment of it. A specked melon is one which has been slight ly bruised and has a weak jioiiit. The un harmed jxirtion may lie healthy and these melon surgeons buy their stock cheap, cut out the diseased portions with great care, and nu ke a hnnasoine profit on them. There v is not n colored man among these modest dealers. Colored jx-oplo have tried the buxine ■ with the almost invariable result that they yielded to temptation and ate up their own stores. There were colored men among th l ' unloaders, and the steamlviat line has innumerable applications from Afri cans wl.o desire positions on the melon boat*.
