PLOT TO BRKAK JAIL.
THE CONSPIRATORS PLAN TO MAKE
WAY WITH THE GUARDS.
A Bold and Cunningly Devised Scheme
to Escape Discovered Among the
Prisoners at the County Jail-The
Deputy Jailer Warned and the Plot
Fails of Execution The Force of
Guards Increased.
A bokl and shrewdly conceived plot to
break jail was brought to light yesterday nt
the county prison. It was discovered
through information given by one of the
prisoners supposed to be one of those re
leased yesterday morning. The conspiracy
was cunningly organized and its plans were
fully arranged. Had it not been for timely
warning and the immediate precautions
which were taken, it would probably have
resulted in a general jail delivery without
the aid of the courts.
There are seventy-ono prisoners in the
jail. Under the rules a certain number are
allowed the freedom of the corridors each
day, except those charged with murder,
who are given the exclusive use of the cor
ridors on Fridays. There is one watchman
on duty inside of the jail proper night and
day.
TO SEIZE THE GUARD.
The plan was for the prisoners in the cor
ridors to seize the day watchman, Tom
Flaherty, gag him and take awuy the keys
of the cells. Deputy Jailer Kinchley
was then to he called, and told that
Flaherty had fallen in a fit. It was expected
that Mr. Kinchley would come in, when
he would be knocked down and the keys
taken from hint. With these the prisoners
were to escape from jail by front or “king’’
door. Another plan was to seize Fiaherty
while in the corridor and, with such instru
ments as were at hand, pry off
the bars of one of the back win
dows, which are screened from the
street by a high fence and useape that way.
The latter was thought to be the best means
of escape, as there was a chance that some
one l>esidea Mr. Kinchley would he in the
jail office and some of them would most
likely be shot.
A CUNNING PLOT.
The plan was well conceived, and in the
present condition of the old jail might have
been successfully carried into execution.
Since the discovery of the plot, which
was unknown to the prisoners up to lad,
night, Mr. Kinchley has been on his guard,
so that the plan for his seizure was out of the
question. The other plan, that of seizing
watchman Flaherty and escaping through
the rear of the jail, is still possible should
the watchman be off guard at any moment.
Last year several prisoners broke out
through the rear window of the washroom
by gradually working out the bricks from
the side of the aperture.
The crowded condition of the jail does not
permit of prisoners lieing closely locked
up. Two and three are confined together in
some of the cells. But if they were confined
all the time, sickness would result. For this
reason they are allowed more freedom thau
they otherwise would be.
EXTRA GUARDS ON DUTY.
The matter was brought to the attention
of the County Commissioners at a sjieciul
meeting yesterday afternoon, and the jailer
was directed to employ additional guards,
and to place one on the outside ot the lock-up.
Any attempt to break jail will meet with
a warm reception and will be pretty sure to
relieve the courts of the trouble of trying
some of the prisoners. Sheriff Ronan is
absent from the city, but will be back
to-day. His deputy, Mr. Kinchley, how
ever, is equal to any emergency, especially
such as a jail outbreak. It is probable that
the pi-ecautions taken will effectually quiet
any conspiracy that may be on foot.
YOUTHFUL BURGLARS.
Four Boys Break Into a Store and De
vour Their Plunder.
A negro named Manning Bee is the keeper
of a small store on the corner of Jefferson
and Jones street. There he keeps and sells
candy, cakes and such grocer's goods as
canned lobsters, sardines and condensed
milk. He closed up his shop for a short
while last night, and when he returned to it
he found that some" one had entered in the
meantime and removed some of his goods.
He made a search and soon found W. S.
Timmons, James Walker and Louis Bones,
nil colored, and James Collins, white, seated
in a neighboring lot enjoying a feast.
The four w*re bovs between the ages of ten
and fourteen years, and with boy’s apiietites
they were devouring sardines and In listers.
Bee managed to capture them all, and
inarched them up to the barracks. The
lioys immediately Is 'gun to lay the hlamo
on each other, each declaring that the
others had led him astray, hut liofore they
got through with their quarrel they were
disputing alsmt who had eaten the most.
They were locked up, and will be taken be
fore the Mayor this morning.
THE COURT HOUSE SITE
To be Offered the Government for the
New Public Building.
A special meeting of the Board of County
Commissioners was held yesterday, at which
Commissioners Walker, Casey und Rstill
were present. An order was pawed author
izing the Chairman to borrow money on the
bonds belonging to the new jail fund to pay
the contractor on tho iron manufacturer's
contract.
A resolution was also passed offering tho
*it of tile court house to the government
for the new public building, provided
another site can be obtained tor the new
court house.
The committee on the jail was directed to
investigate the matter of providing ad
ditional grounds.
PRISONERS TURNED LOOSE.
Seven Released from Jail cfn Their
Own Recognizance.
Solicitor General dußignon released from
jail yesterday Abram Bacon, Peter Bacon,
Emma Williams, Phoebe Richmond, Lizzie
May, John Foul and Moses Wilson on their
own recognizance, these being prisoners
charged with trivial offenses, breach of the
peace and broach of good behavior. The
crowded condition of tne jail made necessa
rv some action looking to relief, and the
Solicitor General lieing the one in authority
he took this slop in order to make room in
the jail for persons charged with higher
crimes.
Something of a Snako.
A rattlesnake six feet four inches long
and six indies in diameter in the largest
part of its body, wns kill's) a few days ago
in the rear of (/apt. Robbins house atTyliee,
by Alex Clark, Jr. It had eight l attice and
a button, and nut ail ugly looking reptile.
T 1 ie is the second rattlesnake killed on the
island, the other having been dnqiatched
near tne Martello tower ate nit ton years
ago. The snake had evidently corns down
the rivr during the recent freshet, as it is a
well-known fact that sueb snakes do not

THE BIG YACHT RACE.
Savannah Takes a Lively Interest in
the Great Contest.
There was a good deal of interest mani
fested here in the yacht contest, and a good
deal of rejoicing when the wires told that
the Volunteer had won the first race of the
series. There was little doubt that she
would, still every one was glad to learn that
she had, and that her chances for winning
the cup are thereby greatly increased.
There was n good deal of surprise, however,
that the Volunteer should have beaten the
Thistle so badly. A lead of eighteen minutes
in a twenty four-mile race was considered a
very bad beat,, and it was compared with
yacht races held in these waters, where
jn twenty-mile races there will
not be a difference of, perhaps, more than
half a minute between the first and second
boats. These, it is said, nre types of the
races sailed between American built crafts,
hut when •• foreign built boat comes over
here she must bo content to count the time
by which she was beaten by minutes instead
of seconds. The race firmly convinced Sa
vannah yachtsmen of the superiority of the
centreboard over the keel, if there was any
doubt in their minds before. No one be
lieves now that England or Scotland can
over stand a ghost of a chance to carry
buck the Queen’s cup until they learn how
to build flat bottoniod yachts and to handle
a centreboard, but as John Bull is opposed
to innovations he will probably stick to the
keel and America will stick to the cup.
The betting here was light, because there
were few twitters who were willing to risk
their money on the Thistle. Some Euglish
captains who luippened to be in port took
an occasional flyer of a few “puns,” ami
when they sail away they will leave their
money behind them. But outside of the
betting done by the captains, there was very
little money staked, and altogether the
money that changed hands was not more
than ?500, but some Savannahiaus were
betting in New York, and what the win
nings or lossos there were are not known.
One well-known citizen, a native of the
“Land o’ cakes" will have quite a large hill
for hats to settle for. He bet on the “Thus
sel.”
ODD FELLOWS INSURANCE.
The Sovereign .Grand Lodge and the
National Benefit Association.
Grand Sire White, in his report to tho
Sovereign Grand lexlge of Odd Fellows,
which mot at Denver, Col., last week, con
cerning Odd Fellows’ benefit associations,
handles without gloves the Odd Fellows
National Benefit Association of Cincinnati,
whose operations were expoaed by the
Morning News several months ago. Inde
pendent Odd Fellows organize
and are allowed to run and
do business by the State Grand
Lodges, Mr. White says, without let,
or hindrance, or question in any man
ner. He has become satisfied, however,
that very little attention is paid by State
aud colonial lodges to their organization.
When they are not authorized by the Grand
Lodge within whose borders they are loca
ted, he goes on to say, they are in direct
violation of the laws of tho Grand Lodge.
He then refers to the Cincinnati
Association and the action brought
against it by tha Savannah membership. If
the grounds on which the suit were basod
are true nothing can lie devised, he says,
which will tend more strongly to bring dis
credit upon the order than this kind of
swindling It is not only, he adds, an out
rage upon the order, but an especial dis
grace to the members who knowingly
engage in it. The complete expose which
has been given the Cincinnati association
and the action which the Georgia Grand
Ijodge has taken will, without doubt, result
in a general wind-up of its affairs.

UNNECESSARY DETENTION.
An Open Letter From the Captain of
the British Brigantine Edina.
British Brigantine Edina, I
Sept. 27, 1887. j
To the Sanitary Board, Savannah, Ga.:
Gentlemen— l arrived nt the quarantine
station on Sept. 4 from Demerara, and as
there was no sickness of any kind there I
was furnished with the usual clean bill of
health granted by the United States Consul
at that port.
I was about twenty days on my passage,
and arrived here with all hands in good
health, not having bad tho least sign of any
sickness on board the whole voyage. On
lieing boarded by the Health Officer I was
informed that 1 should have to discharge
my luillast, fumigate my vessel anil lay
there six days before going up to Savannah.
Now at tho station there are only two places
where vessels may discharge. There were
two large vessels there before me, conse
quently 1 had to wait, seven days for a berth;
then, after losing one day fumigating, I was
granted [lermission to discharge, provided I
put tho ballast in some particular place
pointed out by the Health Officer. My
vessel lieing a small one, I had only six men
to work, and being ordered to wheel the
ballast twice as far as I should consider
there was any uoed to do in the suffocating
weather which prevailed during my stay
there, it was almost more than my men
could stand, and Iliad the greatest difficulty
to get it out, one man having to shovel the
whole one hundred tons. After finishing,
the Health Oflleer complained that I had not
leveled it enough, and I had to put my men
on shore and smooth it over, and I suppose
if lie had wanted a flower garden made I
should have had to have done it. We then
had to go through our second fumigation,
being another day lost, and then commenced
our six days. After laying six whole days
I was informed on the seventh that owing
to the neglect of the
Health Officer at Savannah in not
sending dewn a permit for my release I
must lose another day, so that from the
time of my arrival at quarantine until
allowed to go up to “the port" it was eight
een days, and my cargo all this time wait
ing for me to load. Now all this absurd de
tention on the part of the *health officials
must end in groat loss to my owner and
self, and I consider it gross neglect that I
should have been kept all this time. And I
am of an opinion that the ship’s interests
does not receive the least consideration at
the hands of the sanitary officials, no one
sreming to notice or care how long a ship is
detained. Something should be done, aud
if a vessel is required to lay six flays after
discharging ballast and fumigating she
should not Vie kept seven days before getting
to the wharf to get her ballast out.
The places allotted out for ships to lay
discharging nre not safe. I had only 7 feet
at low water, and the piles being broken
away the iron bolts sticking out 3 or 4
inches have seriously damaged my copper.
I have had considerable experience as a
shipmaster and 1 will honestly say I never
entered a [>ort with such unreasonable quar
antine regulations as Savannah, and must,
if continued, tend to drive all shipping
away from the port. I remain, gentlemen,
yours respectfully, R. Roberts.
THE CATCHING OF OYSTERS.
A Fisherman Points Out the Bad
Points In the Bill Lately Introduced.
Savannah, Ga , Sept. 2fi. —Editor Morn
inrj News; In your valued columns of
Sept. 25, under heading of “An Important
Measure,” is a bill introduced in the Senate
of Georgia, governing the rights of island
and canal laud owners. True, it is an im
portant measure to at loast 1500 or more,
that are engaged for a living, that would
lie destroyed if this measure in question be
comes a law, and it is very doubtful if
every household in Georgia will nut feel the
loss of being deprived of fish and oys
ters.
The passage of this act would create a
monoiioly in favor of a few Ogeechoo river
planters, and a few partieis below Thunder
bolt, while the many would suffer. Let us
carefully examine some portions of tho
measure and see if the mom tier introducing
the bill had fully weighed the good and evil
consequences that would emanate from the
passage of such a measure.
By section second a planter can lay claim
to all marsh land around the coast, and put
up sign boards with letter “O” on them. This
gives him exclusive right to a distance of
125 feet outside low water mark. This lat
ter is clearly a violation of the navigation
laws of the United States; hence if parties
interested are allowed to proceed without
protest, the beneficiaries of this net wifi ne
come as bold as the railroad monopolists,
and the holder of the helm of this State
will have to come to the rescue of the poor
as President Cleveland did in tho case of
Miller. Section four clearly defines that
“any person catching oysters by any device
whatever in any of the navigable waters of
this State, between May 1 and Xept 1, shall
bo deemed guilty of a violation of this act,
and punished as hereinafter provided.”
This will prohibit any one of t)ie
numerous individuals going on a pleasure
trip from picking (if tliev wanted to) a few
oysters from any of the sevoral beds of
oysters in tho waters of this State, and
placed there by an all-wise Providence, and
not by those who are to lx. benefited by the
passage of the measure in question. Sec
tion fifth says’ when any one detects an
other in a violation of this act, they are
authorized to arrest, without any evidence
of authority to do so. All transgressors
would not quietly submit to such proceed
ings.
It is to be hoped that our,honored Repre
sentatives from Chatham county, will put
forth their l>est endeavors to defeat so one
sided a measure, which favors a few to the
detriment of 600 poor people who earn an
honest living by catching fish and oysters
from the waters of this Xtate.
Fisherman.
His Fine Commuted.
Gov. Gordon has commuted the fine
imposed on Charles Finch, convicted two
years ago in Effingham county of assault
and battery, and sentenced to two years in
the Chatham enmity chain gang, and also
to [lav a fine of $10(1 and costs. Finch has
serve.! his two years’ imprisonment, and
the commutation granted him by the Gov
ernor is the release from the payment of
the fined. The petition was numerously
sigiuxl, aud among those who affixed their
signatures were the father of the man as
saulted, the prosecutor in the case,the Solic
itor, the officers of the court and county
officials and other citizens.
Lung Troubles and Wasting
diseases can be cured, if pro|>erly treat'd in
time, as shown by the following statement
from I). C. Freeman, Sydney: “Having
linen a great sufferer from pulmonary at
tacks, and gradually wasting away for lhe
past two years, it affords mo pleasure to
testify that Scott’s Emulsion or Cod Livor
< hi with Linn, and Soda has given me great
relief, and I cheerfully recommend it to nil
suffering in a similar way to myself. In
addition, 1 would say that it is very pleas
ant to take.”

A Night at Maarinn'.s’s.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
Deputy Coroner Johnson was sworn and
deposed:
“Last night, about 11 o’clock, your honor,
I was standing in the door of the Morgue
when a man came through Dunbar alley.
He was bareheaded, his nose was bleeding,
and he was all covered with sawdust.
“ ‘Hello f I said, ‘you’re in pretty bad
luck. What’s the matter with you?’
“ ‘Oh, nothin’,’ he said, ‘l’ve just been
over to Maginnis’s.’
“About three minutes later another man
came into the alley limping badly. One of
his eyes was swollen dreadfully and his
cheek was bloody.
“ ‘Well,’l asked, ‘whatpoliceman clubbed
you ?’
“ ‘No policeman, young feller,’ he an
swered, •I’ve just been over to Maginnis’s’.
“A third man appeared pretty soon, look
ing like a total wreck. Somebody had
stepped on the fingers of his left hand. They
were all broken and dangling like so many
sausages.
“ ‘Ah.’ said I, ‘what’s happened to you?’
“ ‘Not much in particular. I’ve just been
over to Maginnis’s.’
“ ‘I went inside, your honor, and present
ly I perceived a face peering through the
window of the Morgue from the outside. It
was the worst bunged-up face I ever saw.
The forehead was skinned and gory, the eyes
were mere lines on mounds of discolored
flesh, and the lips were like two slices of
cantaloupe. All his front teeth were
knocked out and blood was dripping down
on his shirt front.
“ ‘Well,’ I said going to the door, ‘what
do you want, my friend?’
“ ‘l’m looking for the Receiving Hospital.’
“ ‘Been over to Maginnis’s?’ I inquired.
“‘Maginnis’s be dashed.’ said he; “I’m
Maginnis himself.’
“Yes,” affirmed Mr. Johnston. “I recog
nize the prisoners in the dock as the four
men. I presume the gentlemen met later
and resumed the discussion,”
Decision reserved.
Cowboy Dialect.
From, Scribner's Magazine for October.
It becomes, indeed, a familiar anti useful
addition to your conversational stock of the
vernacular. Nay, you even find the field of
its usefulness enlarging, for the terms of the
“round-up” and the “branding” and sheep
shearing are more or less piquant, and lend
themselves easily to applications remote
from their primitive usage. Transposed to
the ordinary business or social concerns of
modern life, they come to have asortof zest
ifi them; they reveal new sources of humor;
they place old saws and old customs in a
sharp light, a fresh illumination; but al
ways by that undercurrent of suggestion, by
contrast or association with the original pur
suits, which the words described. So I
heard, last year, a politician speak of a
bolter of the Republican ticket as a
“bucker.” A “bucking horse” is one that
“jumps sidewise or forward, up and down,
with his legs stiffened into an unrelaxed
perpendicular,” and the imago certainly has
a kind of affinity with the moral action of a
refractory voter.
It was an old oriental doctrine that
women have no souls. More enlightened
philosophy concedes that they have purer,
finer, more exalted souls than men. But
they are too often contained in feeble suf
fering bodies, which hamper and retard
their full development. For all those pain
ful ailments incident to the sex Dr. I’ierce’s
“Favorite Prescription” is the best specific
in the world, and is sold under a positive
guarantee that it will do all that is claimed
for it. Price reduced to sl. By druggists.
