8 SHE PLAYED HIM FALSE. A QUAKER CITY LOVER TAKEN CARE OP BY THE POLICE. A. W. Getze Arrested at the Charleston Depot and held For Philadelphia Detectives The Story of a Wooing That Was Not Reciprocated. Night before Inst Chief of Police Ander son received a telegram from Mrs. J. A. Getze, 423 South Fifteenth street, Philadel phia, stating that her son, A. W. Getze, had stolen money from her, and askiug that he be detained when lie arrived iu Savannah, whither he was bound, and held to await the action of the ]K)liee authorities of Phila delphia. Chief Anderson placed the ease in the hands of bergt. Owen Keilly, who es tablished a watch upon all trains entering the city, and prepaiwl for the recep tion of the ruuawuy. Sergt.. Iteilly was at the Savannah, Florida and Western depot yesterday morning when the south bound, fast mail train came in and when it stopped a young man apparently about 30 years old, neatly dressed, with light hair and not much of it on the top of his head.a light moustache, and blue eyes, stepped off the car. The of fleer approached the young mail and asked him if he wns Mr. A. 4\. Getze. Here plied in the affirmative, and he was notified that he was under arrest and would remain so until something more was heard from Pbiladelpht >. THE STORY OK HtS WRONG DOING. Getze was soen in the barracks anil was niked for particulars of the case, lie was very much annoyed at being locked up, and was very nervous. He was not inclined to talk at first,but after awhile he loosened his tongue and told his story. He said that lie ltaii not be'm at work for some time and he itad been living a llfo that, was not in accord with the accepted tlteories regarding recti tude and virtue. He was deeply in love with a black-haired, dark-eyed Danish dam sel named Emily, anti upon her lie lavished al! the spondulicks that he could acquire. He loved her deeply anti ardently, but to his great sorrow lie found that his affection awakened no responsive echo in the empty balls of her heart, and liis burden of sorrow was made too heavy when on the day after lie had lavishly spent his money in the purcht' -e of shoes for her little boy and trimmings for her bonnet, she left Philadelphia without letting him know that she was going. This was too cold a return for his warm devotion and in a spirit of desperation he •'took ' S4O that belonged to his mother ami left in search of her. He found that she was in Savannah and toward this city he turned WANTED TO TURN BACK. When he reached Washington he began to repent. He would have gone back, but he could not. He could not face his mother, who knew of his relations with Emily, and who must have discovered that he had ‘•taken” S4O from her, so he determined to follow his fair mistress to the end and have fevenge upon her for her cold anil cruel treatment. He is now of the opinion that his room in the barracks is colder than she was, and ho wished he was bark with liis inn. “Did you have any trouble with the woman prior to her departure?” lie was asked. “No, but. she did not love me, and I adored her. I have made a fool of myself for her sake, and she does not care at all for me.” “You were of eoui’se lavish in your at tentions to her ?” “I spent every cent I had on her.” “And still she did not care for you I" “No. 1 bought shoes for her little child, though it was not mine, but she ruu off and left me.” "Why did you follow her!” BENT ON REVENGE. “For revenge. I meant to lie revenged.” “You were deeply wounded, and you meant that she should suffer for it?” “Yes. I would te revenged.” “What would you have done had you found her? Would you have killed her?” “No,” he said, with hesitation, “but I would have talked to her.” “And that would have been your re venge ?” “Yes. To tell her what a cruel woman I thought her.” "Suppose your mother gets hold of you, what will she do with you?” “Well, 1 think she’ll hustle me off to an inebriate asylum, where I ought to go. My head is not right. There h something mov ing up her*-." tapping the bald spot on his cranium: “I’ve been living u wild, desperate life, but since I've been looked up I’ve been thinking of turning over anew leaf.” “Do you think your mother wants to put you in an asylum?’ “1 don’t know that she wants me.” “She telegraphed for you—Mrs. J. A. Getze, 420 South Fifteenth street, Philadel phia.” “Well,that ought to lie 422. Wo don’t live at 420.” “Well, is that what she wants with you?” “My friend, I don’t know anything more about wlmt nia wants than you do. Officer, do you think there is any chance of my get ting out of here to-morrow?” The officer on duty said the chief would lie around about 8:30 o’clock, and Getze would know then. THE WOMAN’S STORY. The woman, who is known here as Anny, was seen where she is staying in the eastern part of the city, and questioned regarding Getze and her relations with him. She said bhe thought Getze was a crank, clean off, and when she heard ho was coining to Savannah she had the Sergeant place two policemen in front of her house to keep him away from her. She wanted to get rid of him, but that was not the rcas >n she left Philadelphia. She had heart! of the South and wanted to spend a seas n under its genial sun and that was the reason she came here. As for w hat Getze spent she thought he only bought the shoes and ribbon ns an net of friendship. She did not think she belonged to him be cause he spent 75c. for shoes for her child. She hoped that his mother would take care of him for she thought he needed to be taken care of. A party who knows Getze says that he is crazy, that if he had anything against the woman he would kill her. Mrs. Getze has been informed of her son’s arrest, and he is held to await a reply. THE SYLVIA’S CONDITION. The Board of Survey Hakes its Re port—The Vessel to be Repaired. The report of the survey held on the British steamship Sylvia on Thursday was made public yesterday morning. The two forward compartments of the vessel were thoroughly examined aiul the beams on the starboard head of the bulkhead are found bulged and bent, the water-tight bulkhead was started and bulged and some plates on the starlxwd side wore bent inward. The forecastle, wooden deck and wooden bulk brad were burned, and the upper forecastle and upper deck were also burned. In hold No. 3 the stanchions were bent and broken, and the lining on the engine bulkhead was started. The board recommended that the outside plates bo caulked, ami the deck and ceilings be repaired. With these temporary rcjiairs the Sylvia is considered seaworthy, but ou account of boing aground while flooded the board recommended that she lie docked for examination on reaching her destination. For Animals. Mange, Distemper, Diarrhoea and Worms in dogs quickly cured. Bcratehes, Sores, Galls, Bruises, Cuts or Wounds of any kind, quickly and permnentl> healed by wash ing with the Fluid. Dr. J. Hough, the distinguished Veterinary Surgeon, says: "I find Darby’s Prophylactic Fluid all that it is represented. Asa local application I believe ir. to lie without an equal. For Colic and Seoul's it ants like magic. DAHLBERG STILL IN JAIL. The Swedish "Professor” Making Music Behind Prison Bars and Bolts. A Danish composer Thaiberg arranged “Home, Sweet Home,” und the Danish pro fessor Dahlberg is now trying to arrange something similar. He has a very neat home out on Hall street, but he is not satis fied with that, and he wants to get out. It is probable that those w ith w hom he has been connected during his stay in the city will aid him and his release will be effected this morning. He will be a changed man. however. No longer will he bear high liis head as of yore, “Prof.” Dahlberg has failen, and he who claimed that a king's ransom would lie the price demanded for the safety of lum who dared lay his hand upon him will now try to raise piastres to get hinn*‘lf out of trouble. Powers <Sc Watson, proprietors of the Pu laski House, got, after the “Professor” on Thursday for their bill of $53. He could not pay it and that was all there was to it. A few minutes after his interview with the proprietors, he was passing Justice Russell's office, and De tective Wotherhorn invited him in. Having entered, he was seized to pay his hotel lull. He could not do it, and the detective laid bis hand upon the professor’s shoulder, the m-cessary accompaniment, in novels, to the announcement that he was under arrest, and the lugh-toned musician said, with in dignation: “Don’t touch me. If you lay yow hnnt <ni mo it vill cost you a million tollar. Don’t you touch me.” The detective went to the rear of the office and,brought out a pair of “darbies.” "Put these on,” he said. “Ob, let me talk to you. my tear sir,” replied the professor, as he smoothed the wrinkles in the shoulder of the detective’s coat. “I don’t want someting like dut. Oh, send for Mr. Bowers. let me talk to ’im.” Mr. Powers was sent for, and when he appeared he asked Dahlberg if he could make any arrangements to pay bis bill. “1 haf no money,” he replied. “Well," said Mr. Powers. “If you don’t pay that bill I’ll put you in the cooler.” “Vat iss dat cooler?” asked the astonished Swede. * "Jail! Jail!” “Oh, don’t talk like dot. I gif mv con i' >rt dis efening and den I pay you.’’ An idea seemed to strike Mr. Powers, and after a few minutes of deliberation lie proposed to the professor that he should give the clerk of the hotel an order to stand at the door and take all the cash that came in to the office at the concert hull until the amount of the bill had been collected. He readily consented to that and when the or der was writteu he signed it, but it never went into effect. THE Y. M. C. ASSOCIATION. To Celebrate Ita First Anniversary To-Morrow Night.

The Mac Collin Opera Company sang “Francois, the Blue Stocking,” before a good audience last night. The weather the past two nights has been against the com pany, and the audiences have not been nearly ns large as they would have been w ith good weather. Last night’s opera was well given. “Francois, the Blue Stocking,” was first commenced by Bcrnicat, who died before it was finished. It was then taken up by Varney, tho present composer, who brought it out under the title of “Victor, fhc Blue Stocking,” and it was changed and added to until it has become the present version. The cast embraced the same voices as ‘ ‘ Beg - gar Student” and “Merry War,” and the parts were every one of them well sustained. The song, “Head the Answer in the Still's,” by the trio, Mr. Mac Collin, Newborough and Miss Alice Gaillard, was the most humor ous thing of the evening. Their hits on tho country in general, especially the bank cashier, were encored. To-night closes the company’s engagement in Savannah. “Merry War” will bo re peated at the matinee and the “Beggar Student to-night. Three Nights of Comedy. Tho next attraction will be John S. Clarke, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights, in “A Fair Encounter,” and “Heir at Law,” “She Stoops to Conquer,” and “The Round Trip,” and “Toodles.” It will be Mr. Clarke's first appearance here.

This boat was built in Wilmington, Del., for the Americas, Preston and Lumpkin Railroad Company, and is intended for work on tho Ocmulgee and Altarnaha livers. Americus merchants have determined to ship their cotton from Americus over the new road to Abbeville, and there load it on boats IVir Savannah. The business men of Americus and the Central rail road the Hawkinsville Dispatch says have been on unpleasant terms for many years. The new road from Americus through Dooly anil Wilcox to the Ocmulgee was not built for the trade and cotton of those coun ties, but to compete with the Central road, and to offer Americus a shorter route to Savannah. Heretofore the cotton shipped from Americus to Savannah was sent bv way of Macon. The Americas, Preston and Lumpkin road will certainly tie built across the Ocmulgee and reach some point on tho blast Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Rail way. OVER IN CHARLESTON.

In the grand monthly drawing of the Louisiana State Lottery, Oct. 11, two-tenths of the capital prize of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars were sold in this city, the remaining fractions in New York and Chicago. Mr. Laurent Faget, a well-known broker doing business at 181 1 'onunon street, was ♦he first comer at tho lottery office Wednes day morning, and, on behalf of a friend, presented for redemption one-tenth of ticket 13,(548, entitled to fifteen thousand dollars. Having received a bank check for that amount, Mr. Faget bowed his acknowledg ment, signed n certificate and departed. Scarcely had he withdrawn when in step ped two gentlemen, Mr. Victor Tujague and friend. Tujague had drawn a prize and he desired to claim it in person. His ticket, 58,480, represented two-tenths of tho third capital prize of twenty thousand dol lars, anil was entitled to lour thousand dol lars. Mr. Tujague is a handsome young fellow, native of New Orleans, apparently 21 years of nge, and with his father keeps a saloon at 313 Decatur street. He bought his ticket from a peddler in liis neighborhood, and is thoroughly convinced that fortune is kind in the distribution of favors. He received a cheek for four thousand dollars on the New Orleans National Bank like a little man, smiled, and wanted every body to smile with him, and signed for the biggest sum of money he ever received for his individual account, for although his father has usually joined in his lottery ven tures? on this particular occasion the old gentleman “guessed he would’t go in,” for which unrighteous guess the o. g. is doubt less investigating his horoscope with a view of obliterating from the firmament liis zodiacal sign. Victor expects to add “& Son” to the sign which swings over the door of the house of spiritual refreshments, 213 Decatur street, and to invest in such choice properties as he may consider bargains. He will not loan money at usurious or even doubtful in terest. The other one-tenth of the one hundred and fifty thousand dollar prize was drawn yesterday by the Union National Bank for account of a depositor.— New Orleans Uca;tune, Oct. 15. Advice to Mothers.

And Last of all Came Sa-vannah. Every city on the seaboard from Boston to New Orleans, yielding to the mandate of those who expound the charter of our liberties, has more or less gracefully aban doned tlio attempt to extort harbor dues, but in Savannah alone Lord Decinius Tite Barnacle still sits at the entrance gate, levy ing his contraband war tax on shipping and doing his little best to throttle that which is to us the blood of life. Sir Barnacle is a bad case of ris inertia, nnd all that he touches takes the dry rot. It shows not alone in the matte!' of an obsolete tonnage tax a suggestion tiiat the world moves, and that we should try to keep “in the swim” is to him a bete noir. Any one who proposes change or anew enterprise of whatever name or nature is to Sir B. a public enemy. Years ago the Central Railroad Company proposed to run its track along the river front in order to utilize tho wharves and storehouses, but Lord Decimus hung his in junction on the outer wall and our wharves are idle and tho storehouses empty. Re cently some enterprising parties proposed to improve and utilize a bit of waste land right m the shadow of the circumlocution office, which has been used by the city as a dumping place for rubbish and a hospital for disabled drays, but Sir Barnacle sat down on it, and Dry Rot prevails. A cor poration of merchants proposed to erect a handsome edifice on a spot sacred as a roost ing place to a gang of negro loafers, but Sir Barnacle waved his injunction and that which would have been an ornament to the city is no more than a hole in the ground. The county authorities proposed to erect a hand sonio jail in a quarter notoriously the abode of vice. Sir Barnacle wailed and gnashed his teeth, but that one time he got left. The United States government now pro pose to give us a handsome public building, and this one .won’t have it unless they buy his old rookery at a fabulous price—that one don’t want it unless it shall be placed within so many feet and inches of his par ticular place of business—Barnacle won’t have it anyway because his grandfather did not! That is just the trouble with the Barnacle family—two much ancestor. For that man who honors and emulates the deeds of his ancestors one can have respect, but for him who, sitting idly on his father’s ducats, shaking the dry bones of the past in the face of the live present, calls for honors to himself, because bis progenitor founded a city or won a battle, one can feel only contempt. Atlanta and Birmingham and Anniston and Decatur are thriving as the green bay tree, because they live in the present and for the future, but we of Sa vannah count our glory in the dead past, and Lord Decimus Tite Barnacle and Sir Tudor Silkstocking are hung about our necks like a deadly incubus. “One ok ’Em.” Fob Sweet Charity’s Sake. —Rural Parson— I was very glad to see you at church last Sun day, Farmer Acorn. Farmer Acorn- You preached a powerful ser mon, parson, and it had a good effect on me. "Well, it was the first of a series of sermons on charity; ‘The Stranger Within Thy Gates.' ” "Well, parson, I’ve been turning tramps away for a good while, but after I heard that sermon I made up my mind to do different, and that night when a tramp asked for a place in the bam I gave him a bed in my house.” “I feel greatly encouraged, Farmer Acorn.” “Well, 1 don’t.

Cable Street Cars. There was a rumor afloat 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 & Schaul’s, the One Price Clothiers; it takes you no time to get an outfit at their establishment, as every arti cle is marked in plain figures with the lowest price to all on same, thus saving au hour or two argument on the price, etc. Their plan of doing business is sufficient for those that are not judges of goods to buy with confidence, knowing their friends do not buy the same goods for less money, and those that are judges are invited to call and inspect prices to convince themselves.
