A PENSION *BY FRAUD.
,|l colored preacher and two
OTHERS UNDER ARREST.
Uncle Sam Beaten Out of SI,OOO by a
Sharp Trick - Rev. David Wriht,
Solomon Washlnjrt.cn ar.d Kate
Glover to be Tried for Defrauding
and Attempting WDefrand the Gov
ernment by Fraudulent Pension Ap
plications.
An Interesting case was before United
States Commissioner 'Frank Lamar yester
day and occupied the greater part of the day.
It was the preliminary examination of Rey.
David V?right, Solomon Wasiineton aid
Kate Glover, alias Corinne White, all col
ored, who were bound over in tho S”.m of
SSOC, each for defrauding and a tempting
to defraud the government by a fraudulent
pension application. Wright and the
woman gave bail, but Washington in de
fault of bonds was committed to jail.
The evidence shows a Rhrewd plot
whereby the government was defrauded of
over SI,OOO in pensions paid to Cori.me
White in tho name of Kate Glover, tho
former having drawn about SOO a year
from 18781 to about two Tears ago in the
name of the Glover Woman, the alleged
widow if dames Glovefr, a colored man
who served in the Union army during t ,o
■war, fr nWB >uth Carolina, where, in fact,
tho real Kate Glover, who Jives at Beaufort,
remarried after the death of her hu-band
and never applied for nor received a pen
*ion, althoug she waa left witisix cLiildre i.
HOW THE CASE STAItTEI).
It appears that two years ago Corinno
White lost or mislaid bar pension certificate,
or it may have been destroyed by fl e hy
the burning of her cabin, as set forth L
ettidavits filed last rear for rene al of
her pension, as she has been unable to draw
from Uncle Ram’s strong box since the dis
appearance of the oernlicafe. J. B. Bt e d,
spec al pension examiner, was detailed to
look mtOjAhe case, arid as aJtesu t re found
that the Rial Kate Glover is now residing at
Boauf rt, the wife of William Alston,
and had never applied for a peusion. On
*the strength of her affidavit and other docu
mentary evideoce, Steed swore out the " ar
rant for the arrest, of Wright, Washington
and the alleged “Kata Glover,” aii of this
city.
It seems that Washington, who is a
carpenter, ooncocted the plan as far back
as 1875, and supporting it by the necessary
affidavits had the (pension allowed, which
was interrupted by tho loss of the pen-ion
certificate. Then Washington got Wright,
a preacher and plasterer, to make alii tnvit
that the Wiu .e w unan was Kate
Glover, widow of James Glover, and
Wright and the woman made affidavits be
fore John H. Dereaux, notary public,
which were witnessed i j L. 15 Toomer,
and had not the government in. estigat- I
the matter the fraudulent pension would
have again been allowed, ami Washington,
Wright and the White woman Would huvo
shared the proceeds.
CAUTION!.!} TO StreAß STRAIGHT.
The testimony of Solnnon Washington
woltaketi, and while it was In pro re-s
Comm ssiouer Lamar had to caution t e
witness against sw aring fal-elWash
ington testified that the woman nre ent
' waa the wife of Jerry White, and had
never been married to James Glover, and
that rite is yaot tbe one who receive 1 the
pension. After the caution of the court
Weshingtow aaid that tbe W.iite woman
had filed papers as the widow of J.nme-
Glover; that she was in a bad candi ion
ami he helped her get the pension; that he
knew she wa- the wrong Kate Glover
andhari no right to the pension in ny,
and that her first -clai n was filed by Pen
sion Agent Bell. The witnes-1 -n sad that
the white w man is not the Kate Glover
who went before Col. Deveaux, but that it
was tbe Kate Glover at Beaufort who made
the affidavit, and whose lUint the witness
' reor ented: that th> Beaufort Kite
Gi iVer had received tho check for the pa -
rion money and he went with her to gat it
cashed. He denied ge: ting any part of toe
money, but says that Kate Gl iver gave the
witness’ wife, Kate’s daughter, now
dead, some of the moner: that
there was a contract to give Bell some
money, but it was never done in the pres
ence of Wa-hington. Washington said
that he explained to Wright that Corinne
White was not the real Kate Glover, ami
that Wright knew it when he took hold of
the oaee. Wright was at the w-dding of
Kate Glover. He was to take S.TO, knowing
it was the wrong woma i, and Washington
aaid the balance was to go to Kate Glover
at Beaufort.
THE RIGHT KATE GLOVER.
David Wright testified thit Washington
brought Corinne White to him, that she
was Kate Glover, bis mother-in-law ; t a
her house hart burned down and her tension
certificate bad been destrove I; that the
woman also said she was Kale Glover.
Wright had not seen Kate Glover for ten
or twelvsyears, and did not know the dif
ference, and assisted in making out the two
affidavits, one of w hich was in his own '
handwriting. He sMd that he did not know
the w man waa married ti Jerry Waite,
fie admitted having made affidavits Nos. -I
ard fl, in February and March, 1(858, before
John H. Dereaux, and claimed to have
done so in good faith upon the representa
tion of Washington and the woman, the
reported coi dition of tbe lat ter l aving
enlisted his sympathy, and he was in nowise
Interested from a pecuniary point of v iew.
Tho testimony of the White woman was
of a character to still further complicate
tbe matter, showing that when the plot was
exposed the parties intoreated in the job all
tried to blander out of it. Corinno testified
that her name is not Kate Glover, ami she
had chimed that it was. Before the
war, she said, she belonged to William
kenning of Oawford county, moved to
Laurens county during the war, and livei
there for thiee or four years, when she
taoved to Albany, and after eleven years
moved w.th per hu-band. Abraham Davis,
down on the Macon and Brunswick road,
living there until laat November, when she
■aid she moved to Bavauuah, which s e
•aid she had visited off and on for five years
previous to her removal here,

WANTED IN JACKSONVILLE.
Barton Eosa Arrested for Assault With
Intent to Murder.
Barton P-oss, a young man of 21, and a
plumber by trade, wis arrested yesterday
by Detective We herhorn on a warrant
sworn out by T. P. Stalli-gs before W. R
j Owens, county judgo of Jacksonville, Flo ,
| charging Ross with assault with intent to
murder E. R. Dorsey, in that city, on April
1. Depu y Sheriff Vmzant of Jacks m
ville will arrive this m irning to take Ross
back to answer to the charge. Justice
Nfiiightin committed the prisoner to jail
last night.
Ross said to a Mor.vi.vo News reporter
that he will go back wit out anv requisi
tion. He says he would not have left there
if he had thought there would be any
further prosecution in tho case. His version
of the t.r Mibie is that Dor-ev assaulted him
unjusrifiably, and th rt in’ seif-ddonse he
slashed Doric-y on the leg and arm with a
razor. Ho was arrested for disorderly co •
duct, and no other cuarge was brought
atrainst him, the mayor discharging hi n
after sixteen days’ imprisonment, wiien he
came on to Savannah to try a id get em
ployment in tiie water works under Hupt.
Manning, a friend of the family. Failing
in this, he was to havj gone to work at his
trade.
R ss further said that his cousin, Frank
W. P .pe, Esq., < f the Jacksonville bar, was
to have let him know if lie wa< wanted in
Jacksonville, and ho would have re urned
without sending an officer after him. He
took his nrrost very hard, and during the
evening he telegraphed Mr. Pope the situa
tion.
Young Ross’ mother heard that her son
was in tr üble and visited Justice Naugh
ton’s office at once, and when s e learned
that he was under arrest, she swooned under
the *h ck and restoratives had to lie res n ted
Lo. She pleaded piteously that he might not
b * sent to prison. It is said that Dorsey re
covered from his wounds, and young Rosj
says ho w.ll have no trouble to give bond
when he reaches Jacksonville.

AN UNIQUE LARCENY.
Judaa Klssei While Stealing tho Ear
rings rrom a Helpless Infant.
One of the boldest, and at the same time
•me of the shrewdest, types of larceny was
reported authentically to a Morning News
reporter yesterday. A colored girl about
15 years old picked up the infant daughter
of a down-town grocer in one of the square*
yesterday, and while ostensibly embracing
tho child nd pressing kisses on its rosy
che ks, deftly removed a pair of ti.iy gold
eardrops, a gift of the mother to her 18-
mouths-old daughter. Not long after this
an older brother pointed out the tuief to his
lather, who overtook her, to find be: wear
ing the earrings. He made her remove
them from her earn and restore the prop
erty, after which he gave her a reprimand
ami let her co. Few fathers would have
b l en so patient and conservative. A thief
like she is cannot be ex.acted to reform
only under punishment.

COOK FIGHTERS LOSE HEAVILY.
South Carolina fcports Have to Walk
Out of Town.
The surviving chickens of the four day’s
main in the suburbs were removed yester
day, and sporting men went home last night
to await the arraugonts per ding for a sec
ond mnin, as Charleston is not satisfied and
hati chaile/igod Havannah to come over to
Charleston the latter part of June or early
iu July. This proposition does not suit tho
Havannah sporting men, who have named
neutral ground—either Augusta or Ham
burg, 8. C., just across the river from Au
fuhla. This will probably l>e accepted by
:barleßtoo, aud the main will fought anout
July 4.
Tho out of town “boys’* were more free
to talk yesterday on the eve of their depart
ue iroin the city, and a* a result, it leaked
out that some twenty-five or thirty hack
fig. ts were fought, Charleston winning
only two or three, and of the fourteen
m Jus, Charleston wo.t but three. Thirteen
o the mains were for *SO a side uni Havan
:ahwo i 11. Tho odd main w jlh for $250
a side, and was won by Savan
nah by ari IrLh black cock, wbi h
was the loro of nine successful
fights previous to fighting the odd ma n,
a >d woo brought into Lie pit sick for the
odd main. He fought twice in o e day,
killing two birds. He is a beautiful chicken,
weighing 5 pounds 10 ounces, and is a tac
tician. ilismetuodof fighting is to fall
back on hi thig is, and ai the advancing
i/irds and tabes over him, the wary bird goes
over ou his buck and strikes upward
with one heel, generally winging his an
tagonist, and is on his feet and on top of
his enemy and striking home with b th feet
before the dazed f iwl reco erfc from the
sh >ck of the lirat strange euc >uuier. It is
said he hails from Wilmington, and
although badly backed about tbe thighs,
his backers say he oa i whip t e world yet.
Of the chickens used in last week’s miiu
Augusta fnru shed 25, Macon 4, Havannah
45 and Charleston 85, aud of the&3 only
four or five were killed. The fact that
most of the ohicke s brought over from
Charleston we.e Georgia birds, and
yet were so disastrously whipped
out, seemed to be a conundrum
t* the Charlestonians, hut as it is reported
tha- some of tee boys had to walk back to
Charleston, they had pleuty of time to
study it out oil the excursion. Tho success
ful bacners of the Savan an collection sav
that Ch&riestou’s defeat is easily ccouuted

IN AND ABOUT THE CITY.
THE SEABON OF PICNICS.
Festivities Which Savannahians Take
# To Happily.
The picnic season has opened auspiciously,
and within the next two weeks the pic
nickers cannot be counted. Havannah in
du’g *8 this sort of amusement more, prob
ably, than any other city in the south. The
Sunday schools, as ociations, clubs, mili
tary. and nearly al! other organizations in
the city have fallen into the habit of giving
picnics, and it has liecome a custom among
them that is not likely to undergo chang?.
Ths Chatham* opened the season with a
big picnic ad celebration at their club
hou eat Tyb?e May 1. The occasion was a
most enjoyable one, and tbe Zaraydo Ar
chery Club followed in its wake with a
celebration and picnic at its newly-erected
e!ub house on tbe island. Me: cha ts May
week came along, and tho picnickers had
to wait until it was over.
The Baptist Sundav school and German
Volum ears give annual picnics Tuesday.
The Sunday sc. 1001 w ill go to Warsaw on
the Gov. SafTord and wiil spend the day.
Refreshments will bo taken on tho steamer
and the day will be, no doubt, a most en
joyable one.
The German Volunteers will give their
oicnic at Tybee on the same day. The
Volunteers are hospitable and arty enor
mous crowds on their excursions. They
will charter a ppecial train and go down to
tbe island and spend all day and a portion
of the even mg. The Chatham#’ club house has
been secured and . brass and string bands
will be taken along to furnish the music.
Refreshments will be served on the train,
both to and from the island. Dancing wilL
be engaged in at the Club Houso pavilliou
the entire afternoon and most of tae evolv
ing.
After the lapse of just twolvo hours the
Renublican Blues will be thronging tae
halls of the club house. The Blues will give
their annual picnic Wednesday. A Tyuoo
tram will be chartered, aid enough cars
will be put on to carry the c >mnany und its
guests The Blues number well themselves
and they have invited ac o'd of friend
bes (les a large delegation of members from
other companys will join in their festivities.
Capt. Dixon*aid that the party will godo*n
in the afternoon. No special trains
will be ran iu the morning. Tho Blues
concluded that a whole day on the island
is too tire ome, so instead of a forenoon
they will spend the evening. Bands will
be taken aloig. The evening wifi be
devoted to dancing. 'Hie train will be
chartered, with a schedule to return from
the bench at any time the company orders.
It is likely that tho party wilt not leave
before 11 o’cl 'clc.
Friday the Chat hams’ club house will ba
used by the Cadets for their picnic. The
Cadets are large in numbers, and their
guest list will nec n ßßarily be a long o e.
Only part of the day will be spent on the
island. The evening will be devoted to
dancing. Asp cial train will carry the
party down to Tyb a e.
The Guardi have not decided yet upon
the time and place of their picnic. Capt.
Freeman of C rapiny A, sai l la t nigh%
that the matter had ivt bee i brought up
vet, and nothing definite is known about it.
They will probably have their picnic,
though, at Tybee and at the Chatham*’
olu l > >• use.
The Husiars’ picnic* are always pleasant
atfa rs. A special train with a requisite
number of c aches to carry the party c m
-oi tably to a’d from the island will be run.
The date for the picnic has not been set
tled yet, hut it is likelv that either the la t
week in May or the first week in Juno will
bo decided upon at the next mee lug of the
company. Capt. Gordon wiil appoint com
mittees to make all the necessary arrange
iner.ts at that meeting.
The Oglethorpe Light Infantry has not
decided unoa the exact time of itA picnic,
but one of the officers said la fc nigßtthat it
will he given about June 15, at ffTe C.iat
hams’ club bouse.
The Irish Jasper Green* are going to give
their a mual picnic at Tybee toward the
first part of June. They will probably use
the Cbathams’ club ho ise also, and will gi
down in a special train. Ad t e companies
not now decided upon a timo and olacj,
1 ill and so at their next meet ng*, w icb will
be during this It is probable that all
the military c mpanips will bj through
picnicing after June 15.
The Bosch Zouaves and Bartow Light
Infantry expect to give a picnic, but an
officer of the former c .inpany could not say
just who *.
The Lutheran Sunday school will piciric
this year, most likely, at Potter’s grove,
eight miles up the river, about May 20.
N thii.g i* yet settled about the matter,
but an officer of the Sunday school said a
commi tee has be >u appointed to look up
the matter and decide upou the place anil
the timo.
The You 'g Men’s Hebrew Association

THB MARKETS BAD CONDITION.
The Public Health Committee Points
Out Some Things which Need Atten
tion.
The committee # on public health of the
Citizen’s Sanitary Association at its regu
lar weekly* meetings is looking into the
sanitary condition very thoroughly.
Sanitary Inspector Desvergers, at the
committee’s last meeting, reported in refer
ence to the condition of the market house
taat he has observed, since his report of
the previous week, hopeful indications of
something mo e than a mere declaration of
intention on the part of the city authorities
to improve the sanition of the place.
A plumber has been put to work upon the
plumbing appointments of the building
with instruct!') s to re-open the cess po >ls
on t e upper floors which had been cl -sed
up and repair the waste pipes which load
down from them to the sewers below, and
to put in each quarter of the building on
the up, er floo' a two-inch hydrant with
n< zzle for a 2>£-inch hcse, 'in order to
enable the ma kct cloaner tJ expedi
tiously and thoroughly wash off tie
floors and stalls at the close of market
h urs. The inspector has been i formed,
that plans have been prepared tor tue cm
strnc ion of a cold storage box with which
the city authorities intend to replace the
filthy meat boxes now being used in the
market, and he hopes for the sake of those
who are compelled to depend upon the
market for their meat supply, that this in
tention may not be placed in the nest in
which previously declared intentions of
sanitary Improvements on the part of the
city authorities seem destined to a hatch
le.s incuation.
As to the long fpromised and urgently
needed water c ia the market building,
the indications are that the city authorities
have aba idoned lueir declared intention of
putting them in the building, because if
not abandoned the new seer from the
market to the river would have been prop
erly trapped when it was bein : constructed.
Before water closet> can be connected with
this sewer the latter will have to be trapped
arid a connection for the soil pipe fro n the
closets will have to bemade be ween the trap
and the cess pool nortu of the market, and
a ventilating pipe extending from it above
tue roof of tno market house. Tho neglect
to put closets in the buiidmg necessitates a
conti iiauce of the filthy make-shifts re
ferred to in a previous report, which the
tenants of the vaults and others resort to,
consequently, one of the worst nuisances in
the cuy remains una ated under the r of
of the structure wnere tho people obtain
their food supply.
The inspector reported in refere ce to
drainage that the and ought has rendered the
condition of the low lands around the city
most favorable for drainage opera ions.
The morass in the rear of the Speer and
\V< rm iarras is now iu a dryer condition
than it his been for years ; and the
bur ow pits of the Tybee railroai, with the
exception of those nearest the Bilbo canal,
are also dry,the mud on their bottoms crack
ing under the intense sun heat of the last
few days, and vegetation drying and rotting
down in them. Although such a fav.troblo
opportunity for drainage or filliug up these
burrow pits may not again occur for many
years, there is nothing to i idicate that it
will be t iken advantage of. On the con
trary, the inspector nas been informed by
Mr. Sug len, engineer of the rod, that it is
not contemplated to do anything toward
draining or tilling up the pits
beyond the Bilbo canal luring tho preseat
year; and this information confronts a
letter of R e ‘iver Myers to the inspector of
tbe associaiio , dated A >rii 4, 1889, which
contained the assu a ace embodied in the
fallowing quotation: “We appreciate the
necessity of drainage on the extension of
tie Savannah and Tybee railroad, from
foot of President street, and have Instructed
Mr. Percy Sugdeu, our engineer, to give it
bis attention, and expect during this month
to and ain both sides or our roadbed*’
The insr>ector also re;>orted that there is
considerable complaint, of milarial dis
orders on the eastern bonders of the citv,
which are believed to have been caused by
the exposure of the sedim nta y deposit ia
tuese places to tho action of the recent
severe sun heat.
The inspector repo-ted too, that aditchn
in the Savannah, Florida and Wester f
railway yard, to the east o
its work ah pa, is in an exceed
ingly unsanitary condition; and that
the bane to the eastern sectio 1 of the city—
the Bi bo canal—has of late been sending
forth effluvia intensely offensive, and that
c iws, t .e milk from which is furnished to
the citizens, are daily drinking the foul
water if this open sewer, and that ducks
and geese from the yards of market pouLry
dealers are reveling iu the slime and filth of
thi- sewer.
Mile i cows are daily drinking sewage
water from the Sixth street sewer into
which all the filth fro n the Georgia Infirm
ary is voided by a connecting sewer. The
inspector suggests, in this connection, that
it is strange that the authorities, who claim
to be alive ad equal to the sanitary pio
tection to the city, have not devised some
means to prevent the accesitothe sewage
water of tue ciry of animals whose flesh
and rnilk contribute to the food supply of
the city.
In closing his report the inspector re
ferred to the insufficiency of the ordinances
of the city for sanitary protection, and i i
s'nneed a case where a hog drover, who
sells from one of the market stalls of the
city, on Wednesday last left a number of
drowsed hogs h ngiug al. day, till late in the
evening, a disgust* g spectacle to hundreds
of srraogers wuo visited the market, as the
hogs s on became literally black with flie*,
which Bwarm© 1 over them. Tne meat was
cut up ands and tiae next morning.

THB GROWING OCTTON.
What Factors are Hearing from the
Cotton Districts.
The May report of the agricultural
bureau was ma le public yesterday, and
gave rather a flittering outlooa for the
cotton growing stab s in regard to the pres
ent pla ting season for cstfcon. A well
known Savannah factor said, however, that
very little can be deduced from this report
or from any other, as it is altogether too
early to make any esti na f e.
“Take the early reports for the past
fifteen year*,” he added, “and they are
generally lavoruble. It is not always the
e rlie>t planting nor tho greatest acreage
that turns out the largest and in >Bt satis
factory crops at tho end of tbe seasOQ, a id
the siDie rulj app iei to late
plant.ng, so that the c nditious in Mav and
June cannot be rolied on for good crops
altogether, as th .y hive tho two worst
momhs, July and August, after the plant
is fruited ad wo.I under wav, ia which
they are subjected to the elements, drouth
an i caterpillars.
“Within the oust week I have had com
plaints,” the factor said, “from a number
of planters who were here during May
woe*, in which they speak abiut s ads
suffering from the cold nights • f the pre
vious" week. Tho c >ld ha3 killed tho early
plant, and has nec ssitated replant! ig.
There is also a good deal of complaints in
some sections of too mucu dry
weather, and from Alabama advices
report considerable destruction of the pla;it
in the dry sandy lands, particul irly of the
early planting. The lata planting is just
coming up. The same is the case in N rtu
Ge rgia, but it is entirely to > early to
hazard an estimate of the crop at this time.
The pla iters are in need of monev,
and when they are the crops
are all right, but when the/
don’t ne j d money, the growiug plant is
almost always in bad c mdition. Tnis, of
course, is an old joke told at the expeuse of
the plaiter.”
Another facto , when a ked about Florida
South Georgia, said that advices are not so
rosy. The stands are not as goud at this
time as they were last year. In soma sec
tions they are very irregular, the pla its
coming up in spots while in others it died
in the ground, necess-tati ng replanti ;g.
This, of course, is due to the recent cool
weather, to imperfect seed and in other
placs to poor land. A perfect season for the
next three mouths will, in all probability,
help materially, but, as is generally the
case, the worst weather comes later.
New Lease on Life.
Consumption is hereditary in my family.
My father died of it. From early childhood
I had symptoms of luugdisease; had asthma
until I was 12 years oi l; had a hacking
cough which continued constantly, an l
when I was 25 years old began to have a
hurting in my breast a id frequent pa ns iu
my s i ulders, an 1 sharp cutting p tins
when I coughed, Aft- a r going througu the
usual course of medicine, to no purpose, in
18S5 T commenced taking Swift’s Specific.
After using half a doze i bottles it gave me
relief. I improved in fl sh and stre gth and
felt better all over. The Specific stopped
my consumption before it wa-t developed,
and saved my life. 1 know my lu gs were
diseased from childhood, and I know S. S.
S. has given me anew lease on life. Ica i
not say to > much in favor of that medicine,
for in addition to saving my l.fe it was the
only thing that gave health to my little
boy, who, from his second to his seventh
year, was a pale, sickly child, suffering
constantly with his head and stomach. He
is no.v well, fat and growing right along,
ail from taking S. S. 8.
