8 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Mrs. S. J. Snyder, Bowling Green, Ky. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free.
