8 ORGA.HZKB THIEVES. TWO BAND3 O” ROBBERS BROKEN UP AT LAST. Three Important Capture,: Made Yes terday -The Receiver of tho Gccd.s and tho Gang’s Selling Agent Placed Under Arrest—lndications that More Important Persons Are Implicated. In Tuesday morning’s Moumno News was given full particulars of the arrest of two negroes for stealing tobacco from Messrs. Ellis, Young A £*., naval stores factors. The article als i alluded to the efforts being made to ferret out others of the gang. Since then several very sensa tional developments have been made and other jiersons arrested, ntii the facts sj far learned implicate still others in this well-planned system of robbery. Monday afternoon Detectiva YY'ctberborn traced some of the tobacco to the store of J. F. Monroe, a white groc t at 221 Congress street. Tin) premises were searched and quite a quantity of tobacco was found that Mr. Young, who had assumed the role of a detect!vo, fully satisfied himself was some ot the tobacco stolen from his firm. Monroe finally confessed to some of tho points charged and admitted that he hail pur chased tho tobacco and hail taken off tho tags. MAKING THE ARRESTS. He further admitted selling considerable of the tohaoco to one Patrick, a cousin, who lived in Ogee his' M . Wetlterhorn drove out there that night, and to his surprise found Monroe, who lie supjiosed was in the city, there before him. Patrick admitted buying the tobacco, but said it was in the usual course of business, os lie bought of Monroe frequently. Several cuddies of the stolen tobacco were seised and brought to tho city. Yesterday very important dues were sc oured andfolio wed up. Tho first man arrested was a negro namod George (rillen. When brought before Justice Waring Russell he, at first, denied everything must strenuously, but when he hoard some of the facts that the detective hu h lie weakened and made a full confession. The first step then taken was tho arrest of Richard Kirkland and his young son, Randall, a lad of 15 or 1(1 years, on the chargo of buying and receiving stolen goods. Gillen charged Kirkland w ith buying the tobacco of him,-which was em phatically denied. A STARTLING STORY. Kirkland said thut Gillen atonotime was a drayman for him. In reply to the ques tion if his family knew Gillen, he replied that they did not, but that Randall knew him well. Randall had, however, denied bofore this knowing the negro at all. Gillen further alleged that last Monday night lie was overtaken while walking homo by young Kirkland, who was iu a buggyc He told Gillen to get in, and then went on to say that his father was alarmed over the arrest of Young and Walker which he bad just heiird of, and had sent some of tho tobacco which was in the buggy then, to Gillen to be hidden. On reaching Gillen’s house on Lumber street, he (Gilmn) carried the tobacco in and hid it, a pirtion in a trunk and the balance in various places about tho house. The telling of this story startled an, ami Mr. Kirkland and the boy denounced it as a falsehood. A hasty consultation was held and theu Mr. Wether horn, Maj. Young and a News reporter sallied forth to investigate tho truth or falsity of the yarn. On Ray street an idle wagon was pressed into service, and the de tective and his two “apprentices " started for Yamaeraw. On arriving at Gillen's house, on Lumber street, opposite tho old soap fac tory, the party alighted. FINDING THE PLUNDER. The door was fastened, but Mr. Wether horii'a persuasive tongue induced a little child inside to band out the key, with which the door wus unlocked. A stout built colored woman, oouic ut> belligerently its the trio outered and began questioning their right to come in bo unceremoniously, but on explaining the case she was as quiet as a lamb. The boxes, trunks mid other like hiding places in the two rooms were thoroughly searched, and resulted iu the finding of three Caddies of tobacco, in loose form, and with the tugs all pulled off, the outline on the plug showing plainly where it had been removed. Going into the yard, after some search, an unopened box of tobacco was found in an old Laurel lying under the house, and the remains of another box. It was the “Pas yua” brand, a quality that was made for Ellis, Young & Cos., expressly. Seixing their find tbe party proeoedisl hack to tho justice’s oflloe, where It created no little excitement, both the Kirklands protesting their ignorance of the affair. Justice Russell finally decided to hold them for trial, and required bail in the sum of $1,600, which was furnished, Mr. James F. Williams going on the bond. During the afternoon search warrants were sworn out and two stores on tho north Bide of the Bay were searched, but nothing especial was discovered. Tills THIEVES PERFECTLY ORGANIZED. From the ) mints given by the primmer* and the facts developed at the examination It was ascertained that the thieves plnnned their work well. There seemed. according to the negro's story, two bauds, lien Young being a sort of ex-ofiloio captain of both. The first gang consisted of Ben Young, Alfred Walker and a, as yet, unknown and uncaught negro. They sold the products of their thieving to Monroe. The other gang consisted of Young. George Gillen and, it is thought, two others. They sold their plun der to Kirkland, so they to tide 1. Young gives contradictory statements regarding now he entered the storeroom. First ho said he sprung the iron door and entered at night, passing the boxes to another at the door, and that lie left on River street, avoiding the boats of tho few policeman. Again, he says lie stole tho key while the others were at din ner, and again he claimed to have had a false key. They nil seemed pretty well worked up over their arrest uud are very apprehensive of the result. Lute last eve ning some very important evidence was secured by Mr. Young and Mr Wether bom, but they refused to divulge the nature erf it, It is said that the trail is broadening out and that other parl ies, heretofore unsus pected, are implicated. Solicitor General dußignon was telephoned to in the after OOon, and asked for u conference on the sub jifx't and this rather bears out that idea. The impression is that there is a regular organization of the “fences” who use these negroes for all they are worth, sacrificing them when danger tlnvutons. MO.YROK’h FLIGHT. J. F. Monroo became frightened over his connection with tho case ami suddenly dis appeared. Ho hasuot beeu seensinoe yeo b nlay morning, and his wife and brother express utter igiioruuco of his present wiiccinbouts. As one result of his flight It s business is entirely broken up, tint gissls I titi-r all utbichial yesterday by writs frotti Justice Nnnght.in’n Court.

It was i-eisTtcvl last night that a sum of none;. - thing over 1100 —had beencont M'-li|-oi in the tiiorning with ituti'iictionx to “light out." if this is true it suggests the poanhility of soiu-j one being greatly inter est.-1 in having him absent just at pres eut. A LITTLE BJOOIIAPKY. Gillen is u tall, eoul-blnck negro, with rather unprepossessing features. At one time, a lew months ago, he was porter tor ti Bay utrset Arm. While he was in their service they mimed live tubs of lard, value lat 91 A. They did not suspect him id the tittle, but Hint e the recent dovelop liicnU they think porliujis ho wan the thief after all. A large uuniber of business firms are greatly interested in the proceed ing; iww going on, as they hope it may lead to some important revelations. Kirkland has a store on tho north aide of Bay street, where he ismducts a cotton huy ii)" iid pressing business, and is well known in the city. He denies most strenuously that lie purchased any of the tobacco, ana says the testimony of the negroes is false. A MUCH-TRIED CASE. Twelve Dollars Worth of Turkeys Cost the Litigants Over a Hundred. The ease of A. B. Collins A Cos., for the use of F. M. Jongs, vs. Y\ r . H. Ray was decided in Justice S*iheftall's court last night in favor of the defendant, giving the plain tiff $l4 Hi and the costs to pay. The case was tiiis in brief: The firm in settling up its affairs had a hill against Mr. Ray to tho amount of 820 I*l. Ray claimed as an off set $l2 for twelve turkeys delivered to Col lias, which, he avers, were for the firm. This they denied and would not accept, the $l2 us a credit on their bill. The ease was first tried by Jastice Khef tall, and lie decided for the defendant, ad mitting the bill and granting the plaintiff >l4 16 us the amount due from Mr. Ray. They were not satisfied with this and ap pealed for a trial by jury. So yesterday a fury was empaneled, consisting of T. A. As kew, Charlos J. Mitchell, 8. J. Lewin H. Gable and M. Roelskv. Messrs. W. H. Clifton and R. R. Richards appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. P. .J. O’Connor for the defendant. It is said the most eloquent ad dressees were delivered by tbe legid gentle men, and that the turkeys were used, figu rately spooking of course, as cudgels to pound their opponents with. The room was crowded to its utmost ca pacity; the windows were filled with gapiing mouths and open eyes, and a big crowd stood ut the door trying to catob some of the rich (mental) morsels that were so freely scattered around by the eloquent speakers. At about 7 ]>. m. Justice Sheftall charged the jury ana they retired to a neighboring parlor to rest and to decide about those now costly birds. At H o'clock they reappeared and gave a sort of “boomerang” verdict. They decided to admit the defendant’s bill and put the costs on the plaintiff. These birds have now cost something like sl-5, ucd it may be the end is not yet. WEATHER POINTERS. Heavy Rainfall at Balnbridge—Ex pected Visit of the Cyclone. Yesterday was so much cooler than tho day previous that the Savannah p -ople rejoiced greatly. The temperature in the State was decidedly low and below the average. The rainfall was exceedingly heavy. At Opelika, Ala., the extraordinary fall of 5.50 inches is reported, and4.130 inches at Bninbridge; ThomaNville, 2.25; Albany 1.77, and other stations less. The general average for thin district was 1.35. Cedar Keys, Fla., reported 3 inches, and Mont gomery, Ala., -’.Oil. The cyclone that was centering on tlio Gulf Tuesday moved northward yesterday and at 3 p. m., had centered a trifle east of Montgomery. Ala. At 10 o’clock it had moved slightly eastward. The storm is rotary in character and though no very higii winds have been reported from that section, yet it is expected that the cyclone will cause great damage in its course. These storms gather strength as they move on, and the probabilities are that this storm will enlarge its limits greatly. It is expected that Savannah will have a touch of it this morning, and if it increases in strength it will become a hurricane. Telegraphic advices last night reported groat damage near Montgomery, Ala., already. A telegram was received last night order ing the observer to change the signal flag from southeast winds to southwest. The highest wind velocity hero yesterday was ut Oocloek p. m., when a squall prevailed for a few moments, the wind averaging a velocity of twenty-live miles por hour. To-day’B indications are for ruin, with lower temporuture In tlie northern part of the State and stationary in the southern. The winds generally will be southerly. THE PUBLIC BUILDING BILL. Dr. Hopps to Make a Vigorous Fight to Save His Home. Dr. D. Hopps, who owns the residence the United States government seems so desirous of getting, to utilize the ground as a site for anew post office, announced yesterday his intention of fighting the measure iu every possible way. He bns received copies of the bills, and says the one ceding jurisdic tion is in the usual form, but the one grant ing the right to condemn is far more favorable to him than he expected to find it. He thought that the United States gov ernment was to appoint one adjustor and the Governor of Georgia another, those two to select the third. Instead of that Gov. Gordon will appoint one, and the property owner one and those two a third, and if the owner is not satisfied with tlie appraisement he can take the mutter into court. Dr. Hopps thinks the bill can bo killed as soon ax it comes up, because it is a special bill and it has not been advertised for thirty davs, as is required in the ease of special legislation, but tlie doctor says he doubts whether he will bring tfiat up, as it would only delay matters if lie did kill it, and he desires to light the thing out at once, He will appear before the committee and pro test most vigorously. He thinks that the whole matter is the result of the whim of the agent who was sent here. He had other and more conven ient sites offered him, but lie refused them all and made up his mind firmly to liave Dr. llopiw’ residence. The doctor has his doubts about, the constitutionality of tbe bill, but does not care to make known his point at present. DEATH FROM HEART DISEASE. M. L. Alleoud Dies Suddenly in His Office. Mr. M. L. Alleoud, aged Oft, a Frenchman by birth, but a long resident of Savannah, dropped dead yesterday morning at the store of J. R. Ilumlct, corner Chiu-lton mid Habersham street*. Mr. Alleoud had com plniuud of not feeling well at breakfast, time and only partook of hulf a cup of cofl’ee. He then walked across Charlton street mid entered the store, whore he acted ns hookkeepei After a few jocular words with Mr. Hamlet, his nephew, he sat down, and Mr. Hamlet went over to his house for his breakfast, lie hud scarcely scutis! himself before word was sent that his uncle was dying. Hastily running over to tho store he found the old gentluinuu in a chair, lying buck and just expiring. Recovering from the sudden shock lie endeavored to il- > sometliing to sus tain him, but in vain, The body was re moved to Mr. Hamlet's residence, and tlio funeral will Is- to-day.

C. Six arrest* were reported by tlie police yesterday. Four were for drunk and dis orderly and two were arrested for stealing a bell from K. C. Connell & Cos. The gentleman who so narrowly missed being shot and struck with a rock on the Jacksonville train Tuesday night was Mr. IV. F. Hixon, not Mr. J. F. Hixon. George Ktyles was arrested yesterday and brought before Justice Waring Russell, Jr., charged with 1 mating and assaulting his wife, Agnes Styles. lie was held for ap pearance at the November term of the City Court. The advantages of the Charleston and Sa vannah railroad and the Old Dominion Steamship Line to New York, are being recognized every day more and more. This route is a great favorite with tourists and really makes a most enjoyable trip: The daily Pullman service over the Charleston and Savannah is greatly enjoyed by travelers now. and especially by those going to Ashvillc, N. C., and other moun tain resorts. It is a comfortable trip, free from dust and everyway agreeable, The British ship Canute arrived at Pensa cola last Thursday a week ago. She had in 350 tons of Liverpool salt in bulk consigned to Messrs. C. M. Gilbert & Cos., of this port. This is rather un unusual route to import salt, but the supposition is that no vessel was available at Liverpool at the time. The steamship George Appold, of tlie Mer chants’ nml Miners’ Transportation Com pany, has been recently withdrawn from this route and is now’undergoing a thorough overhauling. Tbe steamship William Crane has lieen placed on the route in her stead. She will probably arrive from Baltimore to-day. The schooner Harry Prescott, Capt. Doone, arrived here yesterday morning from the Kennebec river with a cargo of ice. Capt. Doane reports having had Tight winds the most of the voyage, but also ex perienced several heavy squalls, the hardest one being on last Friday, during which he had the foresail carried away: also passed within 300 yards of a tremendous water spout off Cape Romaine. THE TRIPLE BILL POSTPONED. The Only Performance to be Given Friday Night. The Fords have been compelled to post pone the triple bill to Friday night, upon which evening it will be presented for the first and last time. The cause of this post lionemant Is the illness of four of the mem bers, who are positively too unwell to appear, and as one of tho main features of this Inst regular bill was that all the memliers were cast, and it would be utterly impossible for any one to get up for to-night the parts which the sick ones have been preparing for a week, it was de cided to give up to-night’s jierformance and play only to-morrow evening, People hav ing reserved seats for to-night will retain them, but those holding seats for Friday night will have to go to Davis Bros, and have them changed. The association regrets exceedingly that it has been compelled to give up the Thurs day night performance, but all other pre sentations this season have been so excel lent that it cannot aiford to spoil tlieni by closing with a poorly presented play, so they will play on Friday night only, but will play better thou ever.

The Petition of the Southern Oil Com pany Granted—A Move to Pension Disabled and Aged Policemen—The Thomas-Lynch Litigation Brought into the Council. The regular meeting of the City Council was held last night, Mayor Lester presiding. The regular reports of committees were brought in and received and a number of •small matters of business were disposed of. The Water Committee made a report in fa vor of granting the jietition of the Southern Oil Company to connect the oil works and the water mains witli a 6-inch pipe, the com pany to pay an annual rental of jeso, to use the water for none other than fire ex tinguishing, to give the city a $5,000 bond, the same to be forfeited if the water used for any other purposes than to extin guish fire, and the company to pay the cost of connection. On motion of Alderman Thomas, the condition applying to the bond was stricken out and, as a substitute, a con dition was inserted providing that the oil company should put in a meter, and if at any time it showed that the water had been used when there hail been no fir© the city should have a right to cut off the supply. In that shape the report was adopted. The Committee on Police reported an or dinance providing that policemen who were taken sick, or disabled while in the dis ; charge of their duty, should bo paid their salaries for the time they were laid off, if the Chief of Police advised the payment and the Police Committee concurred. It was adopted. John Lynch introduced a petition asking that a survey of his lot in Monterey ward lie made, to define the line between his lot and that of I). K. Thomas, trustee, as he desired to complete a building begun thereon. Alderman Mell asked if tho case was not in court. Alderman Thomas stated that to obtain his rights in this matter he bad been forced t<> go into court. He doubted whether the Council had a right to act while the ease was pending, ami he also doubted whether he would lie bound by tho action of the Council. He asked permission to retire. Mr. Lynch addessed the Council and said that in good faith he had obtained front the Council permission to erect a building on his property, and in good faith he had be gun tho work, but Mr. Thomas had been objecting ever since work was begun. He wanted to know why lie could not build on his own property. On motion of Alderman Schwarz the mat tor was referred to the Attorney and the City Surveyor. A petition from George F. Byrnes to erect a wharf on 150 feet of land oh the other side of the river, leased by him from the city, was referred to the Harbor and Wharf Committee. Alderman Bogart introduced a resolution asking the Police Committee to suggest some plan for pensioning policemen who had grown old or been disabled in the city’s ser vice. It was adopted. The bids for building an extension of the Sixth street sower was awarded to Martin Cooley, the lowest bidder, for $1,335. Tlie Council then adjourned. A Sexagenarian Wedding. An old negro man was brought into the city yesterday and lauded at the court house door. He was helped out of the wagon, and with the aid of two sticks, in the course of t ime he made his way to the Ordinary’s of fice. His appearance suggest.si the idea that Vie was n corpse come back to file bis own will, but that was not what he wanted. He gave his name as Paul Bong, age 05 years, and said he wanted a license to marry the widow Rose Mathews, who is 00 years old. Deputy Kiolbach was shocked at the announcement, but he made out the certifi cate, and the anciont groom was helped back in the conveyance that bore him away to meet his bride. Mayor’s Court. The following cases on the Mayor’s docket were disposed of yesterday: Joe Randolph, who stole $53 from his grandmother, Dolly Dolberg, a respectable old colored woman who lives on Montgom ery street, was turned over to tho Superior Court for larceny from the house of over 850.

Matters of Money and Management About Various Linos. What is known as the -“Bronson road" is grading right along toward Clay Springs, Fla., on the YY’ekiva river, its ulti mate destination being Indian river. The railroad is said to be a part of the Louisville and Nashville system, and is to extend north west to Montgomery, Ala. Its present northern terminus is two and a hair miles from Eustis, Fla., on Lake Joanna, where Ur. Bronson’s winter home is. Mr. J. D. Williamson, President of the Rome and Carrollton railroad, suited to a Rome Courier reporter that there were only some terminal matters to arrange at Chattanooga and other preliminaries before they w ill bo ready to begin work. These preliminaries will be completed about Aug. lor 5. It has not been deluded yet which end of the line will be commenced at, Chat tanooga or Rome. The Rome merchants are offering special inducements to the company to commence work there and go north. The Chatta nooga people will also endeavor to have work begun at that place. An en gineering party left Tuesday to finish the remaining work on Missionary Ridge, near Chattanooga, and another new party of en gineer will be put in the field in the next few days. Mr. Williamson said that to any person who had any business to know, lie was authorized to refer to Mr. H. E. Garth, President of the Mechanics National Bank, New York, who will inform them that the financial arrangements have all been com pleted to build the road and that it will surely be built. The citizens of Mcßae had an enthusi astic mass meeting at the Academy Saturday last for the purpose, of organizing and tak ing steps looking to the terminus or junction of the Americas, Preston and Lumpkin rail road at that point The l-oad is being con structed very rapidly, and cars will be run ning into Abbeville (twenty-five miles from there) by Aug. 15. J. W.

At a special meeting of the Board of Pub lic School Commissioners a few days ago, the advisability of closing the public schools earlier in the summer was discussed. As it is, the public schools do not close until the last of July, whereas most of the private sehools in the city suspend exercises on June ■O. As the present session is so near its close, however, it was decided to do nothing in the matter this year. The schools will therefore close for tho summer, as usual, next Friday.

Kyd Douglas of Hagerstown in a recent lecture said: “The Southern soldier received no price for his patriotism. No bounty, worthless pay, little or no hope of pension—they were driven to enlist by pa triotism, conscription or the pressure at home, which drove them to the camp. “For the last half of the war the Confed erates fought without pay. When I paid $1,500 for a modest uniform that was not worth more than SSO iu gold, and was nf fjred $7,500 for a horse worth $lO1 —fair samples of prices at that time —the South ern soldier m ranks was serving his country for less than forty cents a month in gold. Those were desperate and reckless days and I was once witness to a game of poker, after a night supper, where one officer lost $40,000 in a few hours, and raid it iu uncut sheets of Confederate notes. “It was about that time that a Confeder ate cavalryman gave such emphasis to our condition when he was offered $5,000 for Ills sorry steed. ‘Five thousand dollars for this horse!’ he answered, as he proudly reined up his bonv Bucephalus, ‘why I gave SI.OOOI this 'morning for currying him!’ “Payday, irregular as it was. was a sar casm and a jest, for when evening came crowds of restless soldiers would gather around the camp-fires, and the night would be filled with laughter, as the accumulated pay of months passed by the hazard of cards from hand to hand. “There was no money for the soldier to send home to his wife and children, none worth keeping for them, for the soldier knew that it would lie as worthless as Con tinental scrip. The treasury notes were beautiful to look upon, but there was noth ing they would buy. They were only good to gamble with.” Cured of Malaria. 22 Florida St., Elizabeth, N. J., ) Mar. 17, 1884. f I have been using Allcock's Porous Plasters for the last five years. Some two years ago, after having been sick for up wards of six months with malaria, I found myself with an enlarged spleen, dyspeptic, arid constantly troubled with a headache, and my kidneys did not a t very well either. Having spent must of my’money for medicine and medical advice, I thought to save expense I would use Allcock's Po rous Plasters, two on the small of my back, one on the spleen or ague cake, and one on the pit of the stomach, just under the breast bone. I continued using the Plasters about thirty davs, changing them every week. At the end of that time I was perfectly well, and have remained so ever since. Georoe Dixon.
