HIS ACCOUNTS TANGLED,
THE REASON GIVEN FOR TINEY
THOMPSON'S FLIGHT.
Be Borrows SIOO,OOO of Which His
Partner Knows Nothing-The Firm
Unable to Prepare a Statement—No
Record Left of His Cash—A Note
from Him Discovered in the Safe.
There were a number of rumors on the
street yesterday regarding the disappear
ance of Tiney B. Thompson, and most of
them pointed to financial complications as
the cause. It was learned that the hooks
and accounts left by Thompson were in
such a bad condition that no immediate
statement could W* obtained front them.
The firm of J. J. McDohough & Cos. did
business through the Southern Bank, and
with that institution it had credit to the
extent of *IOO,OOO, the Iwmk lieing amply se
cured. Thompson, however, opened an
account with the Savannah Bank and
Trust Company, of which he was a director,
without the knowledge of his partner, and
when Mr. McDonough returned to the city
he was surprised to find that Thompson had
borrowed from that t/auk a large sum,
alleged to be more than *IOO,OOO.
WORKING IN THE DARK.
A* far as can be learned neither the
Southern Bank nor the Savannah Bank and
Trust Company can state exactly what part
of the paper they hold is accomodation pa par,
and what part is straight commercial pater
—that is, papier drawn against cargoes of
lumber, and, therefore, they cannot make a
state met. t that will unravel Thompson’s ac
counts. Inquiry have hern tent to the
various corrosp"den is of the firm asking
for statements. Partial statements by tele
graph show that some of the paper held by
them is accomodation in its character.
Complete statements will have to come by
mail, and as they have not yet
arrived, nothing satisfactory can be
stated as to what thev will show.
As already stated, the Southern Bank is
secured fully, ami the Savannah Bank and
Trust Company will not lose anything, even
if a large part of the paper it holds is ac
commodation, for the loans were negotiated
by a member of the firm having authority,
and when Mr. McDonough learned of the
account Thompson had opened with that
bank he assumed all the obligations.
NO ACCOUNT keit.
What Thompson did with this money
cannot be told until the correspondents
have been heard from. He was cashier
of the firm, but of late he has kept
lto accounts of what he has received and
what he has paid out. Mr. McDonough
therefore will be unnble to state, until he
hears from his correspondents, whether
Thompson carried away any large amount
of money, or whether he used it all in the
business. Thompson had *4,900 to his
credit with the firm, and it is not even
known whether he drew that out, for the
books fail to show any record of it.
Mr. McDonough does not. it is under
stood, entertain the theory that Thompson
is insane. He thinks that he either found
the business too much for him to manage,
or else he neglected it and riermitted the
account* to become so mixed up that he
could do nothing with them, and becoming
very much confused he determined to take
the easiest way out of it and leave the city.
It is also thought that the opening of the
account with the Savannah Bank
and Trust Company, of which he
was a director, without the knowl
edge or consent of his partner, and
the probability of being called upon for an
explanation, added to his embarrassment
and served as one of the masons for his
flight.
A NOTE FROM HIM DISCOVERED.
In looking over the contents of the
safe a note from him was found. It is
not exactly clear when he wrote it, but
the impression is that it was written several
days before he left. The theory is that after
he wrote it he wavered a little with respect
to the course he outlined in it and did not
act at once. The place where it was found
was one not likely to lie looked into for any
thing concerning Thompson, and would not
have been founu at all if there had not been
a thoixmgh search madfc for )iapers in every
nook and corner.
In the note he says that he is not appre
ciated bv the firm: that Mr. McDonough
has not shown him as much kindness as lie
thinks he deserves, and that he is not given
the credit due him for his work. He adds
that he proposed to draw out the * i,900
which stood to his credit, take that as his
Interest in the business and leave the city.
STILL A MYSTERY.
Nothing new concerning hi* whereabout*
was developed yesterday, and his friends
•re as much in the dark as ever regarding
Where be has gone. Those who are in a
position to know say that Thompson may
have taken a large amount with him or he
may, have not only a very small amount—
not as much as he bail to his credit. Noth
ing can lie known as to what
•mount he Umk until the ac
counts are straightened out. Everything
dejiends upon the amount of accommoda
tion paper which he drew and obtained
loans upon. If tliat is very large the
chances are that he carried considerable
cash away with him, or applied it to
his personal use. It it is small, the amount
carried away is small.
Mr. McDonough gave notice yesterday
that Thmntisori hail withdrawn from the
firm, and that the business would be carried
on by himself and Edward Burdett under
the old firm name.
ENFORCING THE ORDINANCE.
Harbor Fees Must be Paid or Execu
tions Will be Levied.
From present indications it would seem
that the city authorities had decided to com
yal the payment of the harbor fees from ull
vessels, and not to let them run till the mat
ter is finally and legally settled. Yesterday
one of Messrs. Joseph A. Holierts Cos. s
vessels was cnni|<elled to pay the fees
demanded, some *f, or an execution would
have been summarily levied. The evening
previous, it had lieeii inferred that the col
lection of these lytx. would be jmstpoued till
the tent cases were settled, but yesterday
morning the fees were demanded, and when
payment was demurred to. an execution iqe
on the vessel was made the alternative. A
bond was proffered for the amount in ques
tion, but ret used. Alao the offer to de|*Mt
the sum in a Link, to await the trial of the
case as there tva* no other choir*
the money waa iiaid under protest.
No information could be obtained yesterday
as to whether any new tinier on the subject
ha<l been issued by the city authorities. 'The
general opinion seemed to he that the city
proposed to collect the fees of every vessel,
making a test case of every one. The out
growth of this diversity of opinion will he
eagerly watched for, especially as many
thousands of dollars arc involved.

police for beating his wife, and the Mayor,

him, turned him over to the Magistrate's
Court yesterday. He wus rather obstreper

THE BEAULIEU MYSTERY,
The Murderer and Hia Victim Seen—
The Authorities Act.
It was learned yesterday that the children
of Mr. Jack Allen, who lives near Beaulieu,
had seaa the woman who was murdered at
that place, but they were not near her and
could not identify her. Dr. Falligant said
that on Aug. 8 he and some other gentlemen
sailed over the course selected for the yacht
raoe which took place on Aug. fi. While
going down the river he met the
Ida C., which is Capt. Thompson’s
sloop, sailing up the river, and there
was a man and a woman aboard her. When
he returned in the evening he saw the Ida
(J. anchored off Beaulieu, but her sails were
down and there was no one aboard. That
afternoon the Allen children saw a man
and woman together on the Beaulieu cause
way, and the man carried a musket. A
few hours later they saw the same man,
but he hail no muaket nor was the woman
with him.
This forms another link in the remarka
ble chain of circumstantial evidence, that
seemed to prove almost conclusively that
the inurdeml woman was Mrs. Thompson,
and the proof soems still to pile up after the
discovery that Mrs. Thompson is alive and
well. It is probable that, while the meeting
of the Ida C., and her desertion after she
was anchored is in no wav connected
with the crime, the Allen children
did see the real murderer and his victim,
but who thev are no one can toll. So strong
wa* the evidence in favor of the theory that,
the dead woman was Mrs. Thompson t hat
even after the statement that she had been
seen by her cousin was published,there were
many people who were unwilling to believe
that she was still alive, so the correspondent
of the Morning News at Darien was wired
and the following reply was received:
“Thompson’s wifn is now living on the
Ridge. Hhe says that the rumor of her
death arise* from her husband’s threats to
kill her while in Savannah. Gleason I*. also
here.”
The County Commissioners, realizing
what a terrible thing it is to have so hor
rible a crime committed within the county
liniitn, and appreciating the necessity of
hunting down the murderer and meting
out justice to him, held a special meeting
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock and adopted
the following resolution:
IVhkbeas, There is manifest laxity in the pur
suit and punishment of criminals and in ferret
ing out the perpetrators of crime,
Kcsnhvil, That Urn Commissioners of Chat
ham county will co-operate with the Solicitor
General of this circuit in the detection an 1 prose
cution of criminal*, by defraying from the
county funds (he reasonable expenses of the
county officers, while acting under the direction
or approval of the Solicitor General, in pursuing
ftnd arresting persons guilty of crimes commit
ted In this county.
THE JASPER MUTUAL MEETING.
No Report Made Concerning the Ex-
Treasurer’s Accounts.
A regular meeting of Jasper Mutual Loan
Association was held on the evening of
Sept. 9. Nothing was done concerning its
account with the former Treasurer. Maj.
Brooks had not liecn able to prepare a re
port. He is working on it as he has tho
opportunity, and, when finished, it will he
thorough and complete. Mr. Kennedy u.
giving him fully and candidly all the
facts m his possession, and show* a disposi
tion to elicit the whole truth of tho matter.
The amount of Mr. Kennedy's indebtedness
does not seem to be known, and any state
ment of it, in advance of a thorough in
vestigation of the liooks, is unauthorized
and unreliable. He and his friends
—and of these be seems to have a great
many—-confidently claim that the report,
when made, will present a much more
favorable showing for him than some of the
street minors, which in such matters are
usually very much exaggerated. The state
ment that his deficiency is known to lie
about *32,000 they claim to he entirely un
authorized. It should be borne in mind
that a large part of Mr. Kennedy’s indebt
edness is for money borrowed on ample
security, and for arrearages on his stock,
as to which it cannot be said there is a de
ficiency.
The Safe Blower Brought Back.
A telegram from Florence, 8. C., stated
that Sheriff John T. Hou.ni left that place
at 1:30 o’clock this morning with Warner,
the burglar, who assisted in blowing open
Davis Bros.’ safe. The requisition papers
were signed without delay, and Mr. Roiian
secured his man at once.

LIFE IN CROWDED CELLS.
THE DISCOMFORTS OF LIVING IN
JAIL AT PRESENT.
Fifty-Five Prisoners Stowed Away in
Thirty-Two Celia- The Adjournment
of Both the Courts Permits the Jail
to Fill Up.
Life behind the liars is not a pleasant
thing under the most favorable circum
stances, but when crowded into *mall, hot
cells, where air is not accustomed to
meander, when the thermometer is toying
with the nineties, jail life is ten fold
worse. But add to these many
discomforts a cell mate, and they
are doubled. All of these very unpleasant
things have the occupants of the Chatham
county jail to hear while the finishing
touches are being put upon the new and
handsome structure that is desidued for
their abode. The old jail contains forty
three cells. Two qf them are for theiußane
and nine for female*. One of th**se is not
in condition for ooofcpution, leaving eight
at the disposal of the women of the county
who are inclined to disagree with the law.
For males there are thirty-two cells, and .
thy are well filled.
The jail now contains fifty five male pris
oners. The white men are Thomas Cassidy,
charged with murder; James Ballentyne,
assault with intent to murder; Robert Pier
rat, forgery; J. S. Collins, assault and
breach of the peace: J. A. Nightingale and
Edward Roy, vagrancy. The negroes are
Adam Matthew, William Dixon, Ben
Young, Alfred Walton, George Gillen,
William Henry Baker, Abe Grant, f Jorge
Sams and John Colnel, burglary; William
Harris and Cliffy Morgan, horse stealing;
Morgan Jones, arson; Adam Pride, stab
bing; Edward James, State’s witness; Wil
liam Jaekfon, attempt to commit a felony;
William Jackson, ra|>: Allen Wilson, riot.
Mack Halloway, cattle stealing; Thomas
Green, accessory to murder; Fred Wright,
murder; Paul Campbell, assault with in
tent to murder: Amos Denslow, lar
ceny after trust; John Wallace, com
mon cheat and swindler; Isaac
Wesley, assault with intent to rape; Wesley
Hamilton, held for the Cnited Htntes for
retailing liquor without paying the tax;
Joseph Haywood, lunatic; Joe Randolph
and Janies Beattie, larceny from the house
of over *SO; Charles Harris, Frank Wadlev,
George Williams. Edward Wylly, John Rob
inson, Grßiitus Hamilton, James Galloway,
George Henry, Ben Williams and Ned
Coombs, simple larceny; Swinton Gay,
vagrancy; John Force, Abram Bacon, Peter
Bacon, Bricky Jackion, Peter Weixeheimor
and Horace Hicks, assault and battery; J.
J. Mini and Henry Miller, disorderly con
duct; Peter Creva her, larceny; and Janies
Moore and W. E. McKenna, gambling.
Tlie detention of so many prisoners re
quires that they should be doubled up.
Tom Cassidy, of course, has to have a cell
to himself, and it is necessary to put forty
six of the fifty-five prisoners into twenty
three cells. This is by no means com
fortable, but as the guilty ones would
not wait until court met again
and cleared out the jail they will have to
grin and bear it. Twenty "eight of these
prisoners are awaiting trial before the Su
perior Court, one to appear as a witnesi In
that court, and one is sentenced to the peni
tentiary for life ami is awaiting the decision
of the Supreme Court. T wenty are awaiting
trial in the City Court, seven are serving sen
tences in jail, one is a United States pris
oner, two are from Pierce county, one a
Bryan county prisoner nnd one a lunatic.
The courts will not meet again until No
vember, and there are yet six weeks to
wait before any of the prisoners can be
turned out, so that there is every prospect
that all the cells will hold two, and possibly
more, occupants before that time. This
crowded condition of the jail ha* raised the
question whether some provision should not
tie made for one of the courts to sit all the
year round, but as yet no suggestions have
been made on that point.
Consumption, Wasting Diseases,
And general debility. Doctors disagree a* to
the relative value of Cod Liver Oil and Hy
pophnepkites; the one supplying strength
and flesh, the other giving nerve power, and
acting as a tonic to the digestive and entire
system. But in Scott's Emulsion of Cod
Liver Oil with Hypophosphites the two are
combined, and the effect is wonderful.
Thousands who have derived no permanent
benefit from other preparations have
been cured by this. Scott’s Emul
sion is perfectly palatable and is easily di
gested by those who cannot tolerate plain
Cod Liver Oil.
Make the Dollars Last.
In these days of close figuring every ef
fort is made to make a dollar go as far as
possible. In tlie households of thi* city the
grocery bill is carefully looked after, as it
is the big output in every family. To live
well, and vet keep the cost within bounds,
is the problem, and its solution can be
helped by a visit to the family grocery of
Mr. D. fi. Lester, 91 Whitaker stroqf. Mr.
Lester carries an immense stock of first
class goods, and he is tlie pioneer in low
prices. Buviug for spot cash and selling on
close margins, he saves the consumer
money, ami this is the secret of his crowded
store and extensive business. Those inter
ested in this living subject should consult
Sir. Lester’s announcements In the adver
tising columns of the Morning News,
where they will regularly appear, and keep
posted regarding family supplies and their
prices.
Not Easy to Accomplish.
To supply the wants of farmers, house
keepers, merchants, builders, etc., Lovell A,
Lattimore have one of the most complete of
stocks. Every effort is made to furnish
always such a supply as is needed by them,
and to keep up with the wants of so varied
a trade an enormous assortment and quan
tity of goods is required. Messrs. Lovell A
Lattimore are fully alert in this, and, from
a long number of years in the business, are
thoroughly conversant with every depart
ment of their undertaking. Always buy
supplies of Lovell A Lattimore, city.

A TWELVE INNINGS GAME.
Memphis Loses to Charleston by One
Run in the Last.
Charleston', S. C., Sept. 10.—Memphis
was again beaten this afternoon, although
it took twelve innings to do it. The umpir
ing toward the last was decidedly against
the visitors, but they won the respect of the
audience by playing ball and not su Iking
as they did yesterday, when they really
had nothing to complain of. As soon as the
game closed the Charleston directors decided
to change umpires. Following is the score
by innings ana summary:
Charleston.o 0100001010 2 5

NEW ORLEANS BEATEN.
Birmingham Played a Fine Game and
the Pelicans Couldn’t Bat.
New Orleans, Sept. 10.—It was no use,
New Orleans couldn't win to-day. No mat
ter how hard the hatters hit the ball it went
right into the hands of some Birmingham
fielder. The latter played a fine game, and
Masran made the star catch of the season,
catching a fly with oue hand with his back
against the right Held fence. Kelly pitched a
good game, and New Orleans got men on
third several times hut could not bat them
in. Avdelotte also pitched a good game, and
was well supported. New Orleans made
four double plays and did other nice field
work, but Powell’s arm was out of gear.and
his successive failures to throw accurately
to first were what lost the game. The game
was lifeless and was witnessed by a small
crowd. Stallings was hurt during the game
and Jack Hayes took his place. The score
by innings and a summary follow:
Birmingham 0 0 0 2 0 1 0 0 0— 3

of eczema. In addition to this I have tried
every so-called remedy that, was suggested
to me, but nothing did me the slightest good

in testifying to its merits.
