WHERE STOLFX GOODS GO
DETECTIVES MAKE A SUCCESSFUL
RAID ON i "FENCE.’’
Charles V. Brown’s Place Looked Into
and the Plunder from Half a Dozen
Robberies Found There—Brown Sent
to Jail and Another of the Gang Cap
tured In Eaet Savannah Officers
Have a Lively Chase.
Charles V. Brown’s “fence," at No. 57
Broughton street, was raided yesterday,
and the officers made a good haul. In
alluding to the burglary of Raderick’* con
fectionery store in the Morning News of
yesterday, the statement was made that it
was believed the same party who had left
the bag of candy on the steps of Brown's
place i* the same one who plundered Cleve
land’s drug store a short time back. The
developments prove the correctness of the
statement, and also establish tho fact that
Brown has been keeping a fence, where
stolen goods from different places all over
the city have been received.
Detective Wetherhorn has lieen working
on the case, and at 2 o'clock yesterday
morning he visited Brown's place and f und
that while Brown m- apparently asleep in
tbe rear of his little store. Ills door was ajar
so that anybody could enter without alarm
ing the neighbors by the noise.
IDENTIFYING THE PLUNDER.
In company with a Morning News re
porter the detective, accompanied by
Brown, took a box of cigars out to Mr.
Cleveland's residence on Duffy street, for
identification, but the box did not prove to
be Mr. Cleveland's. Brown was permitted
to return with his cigars, and his fears
quieted until morning, when the officer
made a descent upon the place and found
some nine or ten caddies of tobacco un
opened and three or four broken caddies;
in fact Brown had so much toliaeeo that a
half caddy package was molding. It was
not in a box. and Brown had us -d Jamaica
rum on it to keep it from spoiling. There
were some twenty-five or thirty boxes of
cigars, s me of them very fine brands which
had been changed from their original boxes,
showing conclusively that they were stolen
goods. Mr. Cleveland recognized some of
his cigars among tho stolen property. He
also identified a plush toilet set and other
articles which had been stolen from his
place. He estimates his loss at about SOO.
CIGARS FROM ALL OVER.
A barber by the name of Tishler identi
fied cigars stolen from him, which
were the cigars first submitted to
Mr. Cleveland for identification.
When Brown found that the evidence was
against him he confessed that the tobacco,
cigars, toilet set. hosiery, wines, liquors, a
cornet horn and various other articles had
been brought to his place at differ
ent times and purchased by him
from Miles Williams, a oolored man
living in Hast Savannah. He admitted
that he knew they were obtained from
different places, and he says that Williams
was in the habit of briuging them to his
place at ail early hour in the morning, and
that sometimes Williams got money from
him and sometimes sent a boy.
Mr. Raderick said that tins is tho second
time his place has been burglarize 1. Of
the $75 worth of goods taken from him
Saturday night, he recovered only about
S2U worth.
A WELL-FILLED “FENCE.”
Brown, who kept the fence, had caddies
of tobacco concealed in several places about
his narrow little store, which is no more
than a covered hallway. Ho claims to be a
West I; dia negro, who came to this eountrv
thirteen years ago, and for the past six years
he has been living in Havannah. When ar
rested in was very reticent and contrad.e
tory in his statements, but when he realized
the position he was placed in, and, thinking
that he might get off easier by a confers, r,
if how,and from whom ho obtained the
stolen property, lie gave the name of the
party from whom he had been obtaining
tile stolen goods. He was handcuffed and
taken to jail by Mr. Raderick last night.
GAVE THE OFFICERS THE SLIP.
Justice William H. Mathews volun
teered to find Williams yesterday
afternoon, and took a vehicle and
drove out to East Savannah.
He found Williams in front of his cabin and
told him he wanted him to go to town with
him. Williams asked permission to go in
the house and put on his shoes, a reasonable
request, Mnttiu-w* t'ought, and he con
sen ed. Williams spoke to his wife, asked
her to change her clothes and go down town
with him. As she entered the door she
partially closed it, and at the same moment
the officer heard a window opened from the
rear. He got around the house in time to
see Williams running for the swamp. He
had jumped out of the window, and played
the same dodge that lie did on Officer Mor
gan when the bag of candy was left on
Brown’s step. *
MADE A CLEAN BREAST OF IT.
Brown admitted yesterday that Williams
came back to his house a half hour after
Officer Morgan conveyed the bag of candy
to the barracks, to see if it had neon taken
in by Brown. When Brown was asked
what had become of the cigarettes that had
beou stolen from Cleveland’s drug store, he
admitted that lie had since retailed them
out. Evidently Brown, who lives only a
short distance across the street from the
drug store, had piped for Williams
while ho was going through the
store. Brown must have been doing
a crooked business for some time, as he ad
mits getting the greater part of a well
stocked store in this surreptitious way. His
shoe bench seems to have been a blind to
convey tho idea that he is industrious.
Cashmere bouquet soap, Florida water, fina
perfumes and a stolen toilet set adorned the
place where he slept in the rear of his
store. His stock is a misoellanooue one,
showing that the thieves who have been
stocking his store have robbed all kinds of
retail houses.
WILLIAMS ARRESTED.
At 1 o’clock this morning a second raid
was made on the cabin of Miles Williams,
and Williams was arrested and lodged In
jail. Officers Wetherhorn and Mathews and
a Morning News reporter took a carriage
noar midnight and drove out to East Sa
vannah. When within 200 or 300 yards of
the house a halt was made, and the trio
walked the rest of the way and surrounded
the house. A dog barked vigorously and a
flock of geese set up a fearful chatter. Offl
cer Mathews knockod at the front door and
Officer Wetherhorn at the rear. As they
entered there was a scrambling iii
the bedro m, and when Welhernorn
struck a match in the room Williams was
discovered crawling under the bed, but as
it was low, if was a painful operation. He
was dragged out, his hands tied and a
search inode of the premises. Koine Clicquot
champagne bottles, recently emptied, were
found concealed in a closet, and some canned
milk hidden away in a barrel in the room
of his mother-in-law, with whom he resides.
There were no lush than fifty empty tomato
rails and truitand meat cans on the cup
board, showing that Williams liad been
living high.
The champagne bottle* fasten the recent
burglary of Ferst & Co.’* store upon Will
lams as conclusively as finding the ten or
twelve of tobacco at Brown's place.
ON TRACK OF OTHER “FENCES.”
Williams said that if be hadn’t been
frightened off by Matthews, be had intended
to c me to the citv last night pi the miii
utrel show. It is oelleved that he lias other
fences in town besides Brown’s, and tiis ar
rest and the Arrest of Brown will stop a
great deal of the burglarizing that baa been
so annoying of late.
Raderick’* plane was enterod by cutting
a hole in tho skylight, and Cleveland's drug
store by cutting out a pane of glass. Tho
burglury at Ferst & Co.’s was tho most ex
tensive of Williams’ stealings, as lie carried
off a lot of tobacco, fine iiiqiorted wines
and two dimejobns of old and costly liquor.
When arrested a seven-shoot -r and a screw
driver were taken from his c.otiiunr. which
was searched before be was permitted to
dress himself. Attachments have been
levied on Brown’s place, and it will be
closed out to-day.
THREE FIRES YESTERDAY.
Thomas' Coal Pile Again on Fire-A
Blaze at the Screven.
A silent alarm was sent into fireman’s
headquarters at 6 o’clock yesterday morning,
the fire again breaking out in Aldennau D.
R. Thomas’ coal yard in the coal pile where
the fire occurred Sunday. No. 2 engine
and hi*e reel were dispatched to the scene
of the fire, and Hie firemen played an llf
inch stream on the burning coal until 6
o’clock last night, when they suspended
work, believing that this time the fire had
been totally extinguished. During the day
the fire plug on River street, between Farm
an 1 West Broad streets, burst, and it was
found necessary to send for additional hole,
and water was drawn from the plug of the
Planters’ rice mill. The water works was
notified and anew plug was put in on River
street yesterday afternoon.
A silent alarm was turned in at head-
quarters at 0:20 o’clock last night, and en
gine No. 3, and tho hook and ladder com
pany responded. The fire was at No. 90
Harris street, and proved to be a chimney
burning out.
A telephone alarm was sent in from the
Screven house yesterday afternoon, and en
gine No. 3, and the hook and ladder com
jia'iv was sent out. The fire was extin
guished with buckets. The bedding in room
No. 68, on the fourth floor, was on fire, and
was easily extinguished. The damage will
not exceed S2O, and is fully covered by in
surance. Mr. Dub. proprietor of the house,
was serving on a jury in Justice Patterson’*
court, and was somewhat uneasy, until bo
learned that the damage was trivial. The
alarm created considerable excitement, aud
"Capt. Peck,” a well-known character
about town, who was in the crowd that
gathered about tho hotel, was struck by a
piece of the bed -which was thrown out of
the window into tho lane, but he was not
injured. Officer H. M. Morgan, who was
lintrolling Broughton street, saw the firo
and ran into the hotel and upstairs to ren
der any assistance. The damage was princi
pally to the bedding.
THE COOL WAVE’S STAY.
Mercury Goes Down to 60’—The Out
look To-Day.
The signal bureau’s predictions for
warmer weather yesterday did not justify.
The lowest temperature reached, was 0”
lower than that of Sunday, and the highest
was (1° below the maximum the day before,
tbe range of temperature for the two days
being the same. Light overcoats were not
uncomfortable at any time yesterday, and
straw bats woro taken in for the
season. Tho air was raw and chilly, and a
drizzling rain foil during most of the after
noon. At, 6 o’clock last night mercury was
down to 60". The e was a rise of 2' when
the last observation was taken at the
signal office. The cold wave extends
throughout the cotton belt. In the
Savannah district Eastman reported 5’
lower temperature than at Savannah, and
the average for the twelve stations in the
district was 62*. The Montgomery and
Mobile, Ala., and Little Rock, Ark., dis
tricts reported the same minimum. Au
gusta reported 56", which is the lowest.
The weather hero was threatening last
night, and most people stayed indoors.
Tho indications for to-day are: Fair, ex
cept in southern portions, light rains, slight
rise in temperature, aud northeasterly
winds.
NEW SCHOOL TEACHERS.
Appointments to the Masste School
and Chatham Academy.
A special meeting of the board of educa
tion was held last night Vice President Dr.
J. B. Read, presiding. John A. Douglass,
Esq., from tbe committee on school build
ings, submitted a report in regard to tho
new senool ho ise on East Broad street.
The report after considerable discussion was
referred back to the committee with in
structions to submit new plans, one to
embrace a two-story building.
Capt. Blue from tho committee on exam
ination of applicants to fill vacancies made
a report, recommending Miss M. F. Cox
to the position of Resistant teacher in Chat
ham academy, and Mias R. L. Collins as
assistant in the Massie school. Miss K. E.
Grady was recommended for any vacancy
in the Catholic schools during the ensuing
scholastic year. The committee also recom
mended that Miss L. M. Turner, L. M.
Miller and Mis* M. N. Best be appointed to
any vacancies without further examination.
Tbe report was received and adopted.
The schools will open on Oct. 1, as already
announced.
THE NEW COUNTY MAP.
Capt. R. A. Blanford to Make a Survey
of the County.
The committee on the county map has
entfaget.l Capt. R. A. Blanford to make a
topographical and hydrographical survey
of the entire county. A thoroughly
equipped surveying party will be put in
the field on Oct. 1, and will contiuue at
work until a complete map of the
county is finished. Instruments and
camp equipage have lieen ordered,
and this much needed work will
be pushed forward with all possible dis
patch. With such a survey before them,
the county commissioners will be able to
institute a systematic plan for the drainage
of trie entire county, und alsi for opening
new roads and improving thosu now in use.
Tbe map will be also very useful in identi
fying land for taxation.
COTTON KEEPS MOVING.
Yesterday’s Receipts 6,027 Bales, and
a Big Increase Ahead.
There was increased activity yosterday on
the Bay, compared with a week ago. The
cotton receipts were 5,627 bales, and 1,661
bales changed hards. The rain wtiich pre
vailed here yesterday was depressing in its
tendency, and fears were entertained that
it was the signal for another visitation of
unfavorable weather in the cotton belt, but
this did not, affect prices.
Well-informal gentlemen said that there
is a great deal of cotton ginned which has
been held buck on account of a shortage in
bagging. This will soou begin to come in
lively, part of it baled in second-hand bag
ging, and the greater part in new bagging.
Rioting: in SmlthvlUo.
Bmithvillo had another row last night,
nnd while pistol* were not called into use,
the affray was even more exciting and pro
longed than last Friday night’s row in that
locality, The war was between colored
women. Kboda Washington and Jane
Morris, two Yamseraw negroes, went out
to Smlthvillo and became involved in n
quarrel with Emma Brown, Emma Stiles,
who tl cured as a witness in Friday night’s
shooting scrape, Mary Hamilton nnd Anna
Thomas. A desperate encounter ensued,
and as “Bill” Thomas, an eyo-wittioss, puts
it, “They tout from one street to another.
1 got up from my sick bed anil tried to stop
them, Mister Judge," he said to Acting
B‘rgeuut Dunham last night, "but they
fout on, and then, sir, I colon hold on
Khoda and told her she musn’t fout any
more." The police ran in the Bmithville
wotuun, and the Yamacraw women and
Thomas were uotiiled to appear as witnesses,
but from Thomas’ statement the Yam
acraw pair were the aggressors, and will
doubtless have <-ha ges filed against them
this morning in the mayor’s court.
Now is the summer of our discontent
from prickly heat made glorious by the use
of External line Powder. I recommend
KxUiruallme Powder to tie the best on
the market for the above.

FROM MACON TO PALATKA.
The Georgia Southern and Florida
Railroad Building Rapidly.
Traffic Manager A. C. Knapp, of the
Georgia Southern aud Florida railroad, was
in the city yesterday. Mr. Knapp is a
thorough railroad man, and was for a num
ber of years agent of the Central railroad
at Macon. He resigned Aug. Ito become
the traffic manager of the Georgia Southern
anil Florida, a line which will run direct
from Macon to Palatka, a distance of about
285 miles.
The line is ajready completed
sixty-five miles from Macon to Cordele, on
the Amerious, Preston and Lumpkin rail
road. Cordele is a short distance from
Americas, and the Georgia Southern and
FI rida use* the Aniericus, Pre*ton and
Lumpkin’* track to that point, thus giving
it an outlet. Since the completion of the
road to Cordele and obtaining an outlet by
way of Amerious, the increase in freight
and travel has warranted the putting on of
a regular freight mid passenger train.
Mr. Knapp said that he has been in
formed that his line has brought to Macon
for the past few weeks more cotton than all
the other lines. Of course, this was due, in
a measure, to the recent floods, which
blocked some of tbe other roads. Track-
laying is being vigorously pushed, and the
road will be completed to Tifton, a point
on the Brunswick and Western railroad,
105 miles from Macon, within the next two
weeks. This will give the Georgia South
ern and Florida an outlet to Jacksonville
Over the Brunswick and Western railroad
and the Savannah, Florida and Western
railway, by tv elve miles tho shortest line
from Macon to Jacksonville. The East,
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad
has heretofore been the shortest line.
The Georgia Southern and Florida rail
road will be completed to Valdosta in No
vembtM-, and will bo seventy mile* shorter
than bv the Central railroad, and eighty
miles shorter than by the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia road.
Mr. Knapp said that already a number of
millmen are establishing mills along the
route. Telegraph wires are going up as
the road progresses, and Mr. Knapp said
that it is his purpose to have the telegraph
line completed by the time thac the ro id is
finished. There will be telegraph stations
on an average of every ten miles. The
floods, rarely, if ever, reach that portion of
Georgia, and the road will enjoy immunity,
so to speak, from f res sets.
TO GO INTO NEW FIELDS.
Extending the Influence of the Catholic
Total Abstinence Cause.
A meeting of the Catholic Total Absti
nence Diocesan Union of Savannah was
held a day or two ago. Its object was
principally to extend tho influence of the
total abstinence movement among the
Catholics in Georgia, and secondly, to hear
a report that would be submitted by a
delegate to the general convention of the
Catholic Total Abstinence Union of
America, held in Boston, Mass, last month.
One of the clauses, and the most important
one in the constitution governing the union,
is that societies should be organized
wherever they do not now exist in the state,
and for that purpose a committee, consisting
of Messrs A. N. O'Keeffe, W. 1, Farrell
and W. F. Curry, was appointed to visit
Augusta and organize a society in that
city. Preliminary arrangements have al
ready been made, and the delegates will
soon visit Augusta.
M. A. O’Brien, principal of St. Pat
rick’* school, who was a delegate to tho
convention in Boston, submitted a report in
which it was stated among other matters
that the membership of the Catholic Total
Abstinence Union in the United States
amounts to 58,755, an increase in a few
years of 21,865. In that- report was also
embodied a resolution adopted at the con
vention looking to the founding
ot a Father Mathew’s chair at the
Catholic university at Washington, D. C.
The endowment of this chair will cost
$50,090. Mr. O’Brien was empowered by the
convention to collect funds for this purpose
and while no can vass or personal solicita
tions will be made yet all contrituitions for
that object will tie cheerfully received.
The Catholic Total Abstinence Diocesan
Union has no political affiliations and takes
no part in any election. It is purely and
distinctively a religious body having for its
only object tbe welfare of those who are
addicted to drink ad whom the members
of the union are desirous of saving from
drunkards’ graves.
CARE OF BURIAL LOTS.
The Evergreen Cemetery Company
Sues a Lot Owner.
An interesting trial occupied the entire
day yesterday in .Justice Molina’s office.
The suit was prosecuted by the Evergreen
Cemetery Company against Herman Ran
kins, a lotholder, for the recovery of $lO
for the annual care of a lot owned by him.
The trial was before Justice Patterson and
a jury, K. L. Lazarou, Esq., appearing for the
plaintiff, and R. R. Richards, Esq., for the
defendant. The jury found for tho defond
aut without being out ten minutes.
Another suit of the same character, but
with a different defendsnt, will come off in
Justice Kheftall’s court to-day.
Tlie defendants claim that "tho cemetery
company has not the right to assess an
annual fee for the care of lots, for the pur
pose of revenue and to accumulate divi
dends. In the Rankin case it was held by
the defendant that he had hnnsetf kept the
lot in order, and therefore he was not re
quired to pay the cemetery company, at
tno same tame denving its tight to fix an
arbitrary price, or any other sum to swell
the revenues of the company
The plaintiffs held that if "their right were
denied the very foundation and structure
for the proper care of the lots would be
swept away, and if ouch a system should
obtain the cemetery would fall into a
neglect, repugnant to public sentiment, anil
an unsanitary condition of affairs would
follow,
Mr. Richards, for the defense, spoke f r
fully three hours, and cited an array of
authorities to sustain his position that the
charter did not confer the right upon the
company to assess such charges against the
lot owners for the care and attention be
stowed upon the lota. Quite a number of
the lot owners mo resisting the payment of
the charges, which are $5 for small lot* and
$lO for larger ones.
Davis Bros'. Concerts.
The Initial concert of the series to be
given by Davis Bros, at their music rooms
every Monday afternoon, drew a large num
ber of visitors yesterday. A selected pro
gramme of music was rendered. The Davis
Bros, orchestra, which was to arrive from
New York two weeks ago, i expected next
week, when the concerts will embrace a
wider range, and a more varied selection of
music. They promise to be a popular at
traction.
Shut Cut the Market Square Sharks.
Savannah, Ga., Sept. 2R.— Editor Morn
ing Sewn: Your local of yesterday, rela
tive to the "Fleecing the Verdants," is
opportune. It i< about time that the au
thorities should take some effective step to
prevent this practice. It is injurious to
the t• ado of legitimate merchants, jiermits
unsuspecting parties to become the victims
of the residents of Coupemhop lane nnd like
localities, and is a disgrace to the city. No
sooner does one of those landsharks get a
hold upon a countryman than e r ibs Mini,
if he can, of his pu;o, or anything els'
valuable that he has. and oftentimes it is
never recovered, or if so, at considerable
expense.

BEFORE A PACKED HOUSE.
Wilson’s Minstrels Catch the Crowd
and Make Everybody Laugh.
George Wilson’s minstrels played to a
packed house last uigbt. Every seat in the
theater was flllod, and before the curtain
was rung up standing room only was in de
mand. Wilson has the reputation of being
the cleverest comedian on the stage, and his
show is certainly one of the best. Every
thing on the programme was well
done. The first part was a
rather startling mixture of black and white
faced singers clad in a variety of costumes.
The whites were white all over, even to
their wigs, and the colored were corres
pondingly black. The effect was novel.
The innovation is hardly in the line of min
strelsy, but it takes. The olio was first
class. The music was excellent. Wil
son’s “Walking the floor with the
Baby” brought down the house
as, Wilson always and ies. “Open the lattice,”
composed by J. J. N lan, the tenor of the
company, whs sung by George Gale and was
one of the best selections on the programme.
The olio began with the boy contortionist
Duval. He is as supple as a snake. Thu
clog dancing w as excellent and Billy Carter
and his banjo came in for their
share of applause. It is a
difficult matter to say any
thing new about a minstrel show, but
Wilson’s is first-class and presents novelties
that are not seen in every show. Instead
of tho performance closing with a farce, it
wound up with a remarkably clever per
formance by Necromancer Powell. The
troupe will appear again to-night.

Flooded.
Yes, that’s just what’s the matter. Our
special sale of Matbushek Pianos, inaugu
rated for the benefit of our Savannah
friends, has proven a success far beyond
our most sanguine expectations, and as a
result, we have been flooded with orders for
this old r.-liable make. Several days since
we sold the last one we had in stock, and
although we telegraphed for six more, to
arrive by next steamer, even/ one of the
six were sold to residents of this city be
fore arrival.
We wired another and larger order, and
the Mathushek Piano Company write us
they have put on extra men, and hope by
haste, consistent with care, to catch up.
These are in addition to the large orders
which we are continually placing with this
company for instruments to be shipped to
all outside points, ranging from Virginia to
Texas, and as this special sale—l32s. $5
cash, |2 weekly—continues vet a while
longer, the Mathushek Piano Company pro
pose to do all in their power to ship
promptly.
To those who have already placed their
orders, and have not yet received their in
struments, we return thanks for kindness
and patience. To those who contemplate
purchase we wish to say: Place your order
at once for delivery on arrival. The offer
is limited and the rush is great.

The Best Time to Buy Valuables.
This is the dull season of the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi
ration. Trade Is pretty well as far as it
goee—but it doesn’t go far. The purchasing
power of a dollar now is something surpris
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade. Iu a word, we are now inclined
to give a verv large dollar’s worth for 100
cents just to ksep things moving. Within
the past few months we have added to our
stock iu various wavs, new ideas, new con
ceits, new tricks and quips in jewelry, and
so .on. We’ve got to keep up, you know,
with tho strides of inventive and artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as intimated, we will sell very
close to move some of it This is a g<v ,i
time to renew household articles. Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware,
ornamental goods. For personal use or
adornment we offer a line par excellence c l
Ladies’ fine Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies’ Watches, Chains and
Charms, Gent’s Watches atia Jewelry, etc.
All of these articles can be bought cheaper
now than when trade gets bri-ker. Some
body will get married next fall —buy the
presents you intend to give now. They
will keep, and you will save money.

Musical Facta.
“It is a common idea among piano makers
that the individuality of a piano lies in the
scale, and that if you cun only faithfully
copy a scale of a certain make, you can ab
solutely reproduce its identity. This idea
is entirely erroneous. There are plenty of
people who have tried to copy the Bteinway
system, and have ‘pricked off ’ the Bteiu
wav scalo to a hair’s point, but they have
not been able to produce Steinway Pianos
for all that." —American Musician.
Just what ws said all along.
