DAHLBERG GOES TO JAIL.
ffHE SWEDISH PROFESSOR SPENDS
THE NIGHT IN A CELL.
Hie Arrest as a Common Cheat and
Swindler—Disappointed Auditors at
the Guards’ Armory Concert —The
“ Professor’s” Story of His Shortcom
ings Trying to Shake His Creditors.
The Grand Classical Farewell Concert
announced by “Prof.” Herman Pahlberg to
take place at tho Guards’ Armory last
night, was not given. “Prof.” Dahlberg,
who calls himself “The celebrated Swedish
pianist,” is in jail, and the concert ha* been
declared off.
That the Professor is a Swede there is
probably no doubt. He is every inch a
foreigner, eyeglass and all. He came to
Savannah a little over a month ago from
Charleston and has been stopping at tho
Pulaski. He had no baggage except a small
grip, and a brush and comb with a few
accessories are about all that it contained.
He lived well and patronized the wine room
whenever his friends invited him.
HIS PROFESSIONAL INTRODUCTION.
His recital at the Ludden & Bates music
house iast Saturday was his professional
introduction here. He said that he was go
ing to New Orleans, where he had an en
gagement, but by “urgent request” ho “con
sented” to remain ovor until lost night,when
lie advertised to appear, assisted by leading
local artists in a farewell concert. Quite a
number of people went to the Armory but
they were told that the entertainment would
not take place.
Prof. Dahlberg was arrested early
in the evening on a warrant
issued by Justice Naughtln charging him
with being a common cheat and swindler.
Nobody would go on his bond arid he was
taken to jail. A Morning News reporter
paid him a visit later in the evening.
THE “PROFESSOR” IN JAIL.
The “Professor” was asleep in hLs cot
when the reporter approached, but he was
awakened, and by invitation came out into
the corridor, accompanied by an odor of
whisky, which was far more easily under
stood than his English. He seemed much
depressed. He was not at all pleased with
liis treatment in this inhospitable country,
though he made no remark about how well
bis victims were pleased with the way in
Which he treated them.
“What’s the matter with you, Professor?”
was asked as he came out of the cell door.
“Oh, noting, noting. I ought not to be
hereho replied, in his Swedish-American
dialect.
“What are you in jail for?”
“Becos I did not gif my concert dis even
ing,” he answered, while his taper fingers
Slept up an allegro tattoo on the window
bill.
“That’s strange! Will you explain?”
“I should haf gif my concert dis evening,
but Mr. Murphy at der music store lie tell
me don’t do it, Professor. You can’t play
dis evening. You must poshtpoue it till
Boterday night. He’s yuat like my fader,
and what be say I haf to do, and so I didn’t
play. I went ofor to tier Times office dis
[afternoon and I ask what iny bill. Der
Uittle man wid der little mostaohe, what sits
in der middle of der floor, say $24.
“I HAF NO MONEV.”
“I liaf no money an’ I say so. Igo away
an’ I expee to make some money at my con
cert an’ pay der printing bill, but Mr. Mur
phy say I hof to poshtpone der concert.
About 5 o’clock a man come to me an’ he
Bay, ‘Air you der Professor what gif der
concert? I say yes and he say, ‘Come wid
me.’ an’ I go somewhere —I don’t know,
may be to dor police, an’ a man ask me if 1
was der Professor, au’ I say yes an’ he do like
lie write on a piece of paper an’ I come out
bere.”
“Did you owe anybody ?”
“No, 1 don’t owe something but der print
ing bill an’ my hotel, dor Pulashki. Oh, if
dey would let me shtav out of here till I
gif my concert den I haf money an’ pay
my debt. But I haf not had time. I see
not my friens or I make dis shtraight, but
dey don’t know lam here. Oh, you nefer
will know' my feeiin’s right now. In jail,
in jail! I nefer was in jail before, an’ who
efer tougbt der professor would efer be in
der jail house!”
“Why could you not give your concert?”
“Mr." Murphy say no, der opere is here. I
won’t haf no one to hear me.”
“Have you any friends here?”
IT WOULD BREAK HIS HEART.
“I haf a friend in Valstow (Charleston).
He was here last Sunday. He admires my
art, he admires my learning. Oh, he ad
mires der professor! If he Knew I was in
jail it would break his heart.”
“Well, you and n’t know any reason for
your arrest except that you could not pay
your printing bill?”
“No, but if I haf not a toller in my pocket
can I pay twenty-four tollar? lsh it right,
to put me in jail oecos I can’t do someting?
I can’t shpcak der English. Der is so many
word ilat is spell alike dat mean different,
it is hard to learn, but if I could I get in no
troubles like dis. Oh, I nefer oxpec’ to see
der Professor in jail!” and with that the
melancholy Swede extended his hand and
after saying good night, bent his head and
retreated to nis cell.
LIVED ON THE FAT OF THE LAND.
Dahlberg has lived well since lie came
here. He started out to make friends as
soon as he arrived, and before he had gone
far he owed most of them anywhere from
fiOc. to $25. He was a liberal patron of the
free lunch counters, and drank whenever he
■was invited. He sought out several of his
countrymen before Fie had been here
twenty-four hours, and he owes all of them.
His board bill at the Pulaski House is un
tiaid, and will probably remain that way if
he is the only one to pay it.
CORNERED BT 1118 CREDITORS.
That he was short in funds was evident
from his attempt to escape from a couple of
his creditors who cornered him in Sullivan's
•wine room. A short time before he was ar
rested Dahlberg told a very pretty tale, and
as soon as he had finished started
out through a liack entrance
into the lane, where he was
intercepted and asked to wait awhile.
Finding out that talking had no effect, a
warrant was issued and the “Professor”
was put in jail for safe keeping. He says
that he has been badly treated and he
don’t understand it.
THE COLD WAVE PAST.
A Rise in Temperature All Over the
Country—Heavy Rains.
The temperature over the entire country
is rising slowly. The highest here yesterday
was 57% and the lowest was 51”. The total
rainfall was .59 inches. Rains are reported
at stations on the coasts from Maine to
Texas. Tho heaviest rainfalls are in this
district. For the twenty-four hours ending
at 6p. in. yesterday, Bainbridge reported
the unusual fall of 4.26 inches, Millen 3.00,
Albany 2, and Alapaha I inch.
Inspecting the Resolute.
Thomas Congdon, Chief Surveyor in
America of Lloyds’ agency, for the inspec
tion of vessels, with headquarters in New
York, is here to inspect the repairs of the
British steamship Resolute, which have
just been completed.
Cleared for Liverpool.
Messrs. Wilder & Cos., cleared yesterday
the British steamship Lancaster, for Liver
pool, with 5,813 bales of upland cotton,
weighing 2,703,786 pounds, valued at $252,-
564.

CONFESSED MANY THEFTS.
The Breaker of a Dozen Houses Tells
the Story of His Thieving.
Detective Wetherhorn has wrested the
thief whose operations in many houses dur
ing the past three or four months have
caused so much uneasiness. He entered a
number of houses near t ie park and secured
clothes, jewelry and many other valuable
wticles.
His name is Henry Simmons, and lie is a
tall, hideous negro, with as much boldness
and audacity as is needed by an expert
house-breaker. Ho lost a bag containing
three |>airs of boots and a set of harness in
Frogtown tho other day, and the detective,
hearing of it, started out ou a bunt. He
found the articles and located his man.
When the thief was arrested the detect! ve
showed him that he was known, identifying
the lost articles as tho property of Darnell
& Susong, from whom it was stolen.
Simmons then confessed with an air of
frankness that was surprising. He said
he had stolen an umbrella and an overcoat
with a street car book in the pocket from
tho house of I. Epstein, a watch and chain
from a man named Luetiea, a pocketbook
with $5 in it from Miss Laura Miller, and
mentioned two or three other of his adven
tures, but thorn he stopped and said, “I’ve
told you enough. If I Keep on I’ll tell you
enough to send me to the penitentiary for
life, but you tan Let on this, I know every
nook and corner in this town; I’ve been in
most of tho houses in it, and I've made it
lively while I’ve been here.”
He is now in jail, having been sent there
by Justice Waring Russell, but he is not
trying to enliven tne prison house as much
as he did the town.
AT THE OPERA.
‘‘Merry War” Catches On and the
Company Makes Anothf-r Hit.
“Merry War” was sung before a fine au
dience last night in spite of the rain, and
the opera was charmingly given. Mr.
Branson has the great part in tho play, and
he sang it for all it was worth. He has a
fine tenor voice, and as the “Marquis” tie
has every opportunity to show what it is
capable of. In fact, he carries the weight
of the piece. His “Waltz Song” in The
second act was repeatedly applauded.
Mr. Gaillard has the same excellent
vo>s which won him favor on
Wednesday night. Mr. Mac Collin as
tho tulip grower did some very clever act
ing and was enthusiastically received. The
scenes between him and Miss Hal! elicited
almost continued laughter and applause.
The ladies all sang and acted well. Miss
Gaillard, Miss Haas and Miss Hall were
greeted with generous applause. There are
no really fine solos in the opera, but the
concerted music was admirably given. To
night “Francois, the Blue Stocking,” will
be sung, and to-morrow “Merry War” at
matinee and “Beggar Student” at night.

ity. He will probably make Atlanta his
home. Mr. Powers is about 67 years of age,
and this resignation probably means his per
manent retirement from the railway busi
ness. He was for years General Superin
tendent of the Southwestern railroad. The
railway lines of the Southern Railway and
Steamship Association agreed upon him as
a man upon whose ability and fearless in

tion of the business of the association. The
late Col. William M. Wadley, of the Cen

Powers’ appointment to this high position.

Cable Street Cars.
There was a rumor alloat a few days ago
that this new street railway, which is to go
to the Central railroad wharf and through
the city, was to be run by cable, like the Chi
cago street railway. This would probably
cost more money in the start, but would
prove more profitable in the long run, as so
many more trips could be made in a day,
and parties having important business to at
tend to at the Central railroad wharf, could
get there in a very little time. Just the
same at Appel & Schuul’s, the One Price
Clothiers; it takes you no time to get an

WET COTTON’ CARGOES.
THE NOVEL PROCEEDINGS IN THE
NAVAL COURT CLOSED.
The Crew Approached to Withdraw
the Case The Captain Explains Why
- The Evidence Concluded and the
Arguments Heard—The Decision Re
served.
The office of the British Consul, Mr. Rob
ertson, was c rowded yesterday by those who
were interested in listening to the novel
proceedings in the Naval Court. The case
is without precedent. Never liefore has a
court of any kind had such an one before it,
and for that reason there are many inter
esting as well as curious features to it. The
court is somewhat at a loss to know exactly
imposition, the lawyers arc not at all sure
of their ground, not only because they have
never had a case of the kind before, but also
because they are practicing British commer
cial law. The captain and crew are
more at sea than any of them.
At 9 o’clock the case was resumed and the
taking of testimony was beguh again. The
first witness was Mr. Cohen, who has charge
of the upper warehouse of the Savannah
Cotton Press Association. Ho testified as to
the condition of the cotton, his statement
being in accordance with tho testimony
given liy others on the same subject.
Mr. T. B. Marshall gave his experience
with the Trauuuebar, which sailed in 1871
with a cargo or wet cotton, and he said that,
although lie saw two of the crew after the
voyage, he heard of no sickness on board
the vessel during the trip.
PRECEDENTS FOUND.
Mr. Thomas Congdon, who came here as
Lloyds’ agent, to look after the repairs on
the Resolute and Naples, was put upon the
stand. Ho said that his office was in Now
York, and that he had forwarded wet cot
ton from that port. Ou one occasion a part
of a cargo was damaged by fire, and he was
asked for a permit to carry it forward. He
consulted Guion’s agent, who told him that
that lino constantly carried wet cotton
under decks. He gave the permit asked for
and never heard of any sickness resulting
from the transportation of that cargo. The
Guion lino carries wet cotton on passenger
ships. Mr. P. M. Dougan said he had ex
amined the cotton and found it wet. He
had shipp'd wet cotton himself, but it was
generally understood that wet cotton would
not be taken under decks.
Mr. K. N. Putnam, representing Chubbs,
insurers of hulls, and the Freight and In
demnity Association, was called and he
said he had seen two cargoes of wet cotton
shipped and had heard of no sickness that
taey had caused.
ASKED TO WITHDRAW.
The court then took recess until 4 o’clock,
and whan it re convened Mr. MacDonell
arose and stated that an incident had oc
curred during the recess which he thought
he ought to bring to the attention of the
court. The officers of tho vessel had been
approached and asked to withdraw the case.
The consul asked if that was another
rumor, or if the complainants could bring
direct evidence.
Mr. MacDonell—“We will bring the offi
cers to swear that they have teen directly
approached.”
David Henderson then took the stand and
said that as he was coming to the Consulate
the captain approached him and asked him
if he was willing to withdraw the case. The
rest of the officers were standing by,and he
believe ho had asked them the same ques
tion. I replied: ‘Certainly not. I had
gone into it and I proposed to fight it
through.’
Mr. Adams: “Did he offer you any pecu
niary inducement?”
“fie did not. He simplv asked me if I
would be willing to withdraw it.”
John Phillips said that as he was on his
wav to the Consulate the captain nskod him
if fie was willing to withdraw the case, and
he said he could not conscientiously do so.
Ho offered no pecuniary inducement. The
second mate was with him at the time.
THE REASON WHY.
Capt. Reavely was asked if he had any
thing tosuy, and he replied. “I simply wish
to confirm what the officers said. I thought
it was my duty to ask them because I did
not know which way the case would be de
cided, and if it went against them it would
be hard for them, as some of them were
married men.”
Tlio Consul; “Was that your own idea?”
“Mr. Putnam and I talked it over.”
“In whose mind did It originate?”
“Mr. Putnam suggested it and I thought
it was a good suggestion.” Mr. Putnam
then said that on the previous night he
heard that the officers thought the Cap
tain was in secret sympathy with them in
this case. He tried to see the Captain that
night, but could not find him. In the morn
ing he saw him and told him that it would
be a bad thing for him to let the crew labor
under such an impression, and he had better
have an understanding with them.
Mr. Duckworth —Would it be a crime for
him to be in sympathy with the crew!
"No crime: but I think it would be bad
for him to be in sympathy with them, and
come before this court and oppose them.”
THE CASE CONCLUDED.
Both sides then announced their cases
closed, and P. J. O’Connor. Esq., opened
the arguments for the defendant, arguing
upon the evidence, and he concluded by say
ing that so sure was the defendant of the
justness of his cause that he would request
the court to inspect the vessel and cotton
before jiassing upon the case.
8. B. Adams, Esq., and Col. William
Garrard argued upon the powers of the
court and the questions of law, and tho
consul then announced that it had lieen the
intention of the court from the first to in
spect the cargo and vessel, but they could
not do so that evening. They would give
notice when they were ready to announce
their decision.

recently been several large sales of real
estate for division into lots, and the sales
are increasing.
Inspector of Phosphates E. L. Roche, of
Charleston, in his testimony before the
South Carolina Phosphate Commission, on
Wednesday, submitted a table showing the
production of phosphates in South Carolina
from 1871 to the close of 1880. For the past
five years the figures are: 188a, 140.77:.’! j tons;
188.1, 129,819 tons; 1884, 151.243)4 tons;
1885, 171,670 tons; 1880, 191,175% tons. Up
to date in 1887 tho production amounts to
about 208,(XX) tons. The returns also show
that the production of the Coosaw Company
for 1885-80 was 90,087 tons out of a total of
191,175% tons. The value of the plants in
the State Mr. Roche estimated at about
33,500,000.
Charleston is having a hard time of it
with the new postal regulations. A gentle
man connected with a stationery store
wanted to send a package of steel pens to
England at merchandise rates, but the
Charleston postmaster could find nothing ill
the new regulations touching steel pens, and
refused to send them. The matter was
submitted to the Postoftiee Department, and
a letter was received from the Superintend
ent of the foreign mail department, stating
that as to the transmission of mail to Eng
land of steel liens, no provision had been
made for the transmission of such articles
by mail to foreign countries, with the ex
ception of Mexico and Jamaica, at less than
the full letter rate of postage, fully prepaid,
unless strictly sent as bona fide trade sam
ples ; and that articles of merchandise, other
than bona fide trade samples, are not tran
smissible by mail to Canada, even though
fully prepaid as letters.
The Origin of the Word “Boodle.”
From the Cincinnati Commercial.
The word “boodle” hys gone into the
United States language. Eastern news
papers, even those of Boston, use it without
quotation marks. We believed the word
originally appeared in tho Commercial-
Gazette in the report of the great American
Express robbery in Cincinnati several years
ago. One Sunday afternoon a one-horse
wagon was driven up to the office on Race
street, a small iron traveling safe loaded on
and taken across the river into Kentucky
and rifled. Larry Hazen, the famous old
detective, was employed by the express
company to work up the case, and he suc
ceeded in recovering most of the money.
When met by a reporter at the police
station after the lucky capture Ilazen threw
up his hands in happy mood and exclaimed:
“We’ve got the boodle!” The word was
afterward used to denote money used for
dishonest purposes in local politics, and dis
reputable politicians in the city and State
came to be known as “boodlers” and their
party as the “boodle party.” The word
spread in usage and is now common
throughout the country.
