FISIir.DOIT OF THE RIVER
A DEFPERATii FUGITIVE PHOM
SOUTH CAROLINA CAPTURED.
"Aba” Frpzier, Who Shot a Turpen
tine Foreman at Matthews’ Bluff,
Run Down In Savannah—He At
tempts to Swim the River, but Is
Caught tn Midstream Pol ceman
Beughn Badly Eurt in Chasing the
Desperado—His Leg Broken in Two
Places.
•’Abe'’ Frazier, a negro fugitive from
justice, from Hampton county, South Car
olina, was arrested here yesterday by Spe
cial Officer Scott W. Thurman, and was
turned over to Constable Coleman to await
the arrival of the South Carolina author
ities.
Fmz'er a -ked permission to go in the back
yard of Justice McDermotts office, and no
sooner had he obtained permission than he
vaulted over the fence and endeavored to
escape. Coleman, Thurman and
Mounted Policeman Baughn joined
in the pursuit, . and Frazier
sought a hiding place on the wharves at the
Upper Hydraulic Press, and fell through
the floor into the river. Hs threw off his
coat ad 'truck out boldly down the stream,
but Constable Coleman put out in a small
boat and overtook him. Ho was brought
back to the city and was committed to jail
to await the arrival of Sheriff A. R. Ruth
of Hampton county, who was telegraphed
for and is expected to arrive this morning.
Frazier was first arrested in Maguire’s
grocery, at Farm and Orange streets, yes
terday morning by Thurman on a warrant
issued by Justice Ellis of Hampton county,
sworn out by H. R. Kittles, a turpentine
farmer, charging Frazier with shooting
with intent to kill Joe Williams, the colored
foreman of Kittles’ turpentine camp, near
Matthews’ Bluff, Oct. 24 last. Williams, it
is said, is slowly wasting away from the
effect of the shooting.
It appears ihat Frazier, who was employed
in boxing trees, had been docked, and out
of revenge went to Williams’ cabin, and
while Williams was at supper Frazier put
the revolver through the chinks of the cabin
and fired several shot at his victim, three of
the shots taking effect. Frazier, since he
has been in Savannah, has worked for the
Standard Oil Company, at the brick yards,
and recently bas been working at the Ocean
steams: ip wharves, and had one of the
Ocean Steamship Company’s checks on bis
person when arrested.
A serious accident occurred to Mounted
Policeman H. W. Baughn while pursuing
Frazier. As the officer passed through the
gate leading to the Upper Hydraulic Press
wharves, his horse stumbled and fell, catch
ing the officer’s right leg under him, and
breaking it in two piaces. The officer was
conveyed to St. Joseph’s Infirmary, Dr. W.
F. Brunner, who was called, accompanying
him to the hospital, where the proper sur
gical attention was given.
SEEDBM3N KEPT BUSY.
Big Demand for Seed for Replanting
After the Hard Freeze.
J. T. Shuptrine, in an interview yesterday
with a Morning News reporter, said that
the recent freez >s hav e caused an increased
demand for seed, and he estimates that the
demand is fully 35 per cent, greater than
usual after first plantings.
Avery small part of this demand, Mr.
Shuptrine says, is for peas, as it is consid
ered too late to plant for the northern
market.
The principal demand is for beans, which
are being exte sively planted in the place
of peas, which were frozen out, and where
the dry rot has destroyed the potatoes. A
great many of the northern seed pota
toes, principally from Massachusetts seed,
have failed to germinate, and farmers are
replanting with beam.
There is an increase in the demand for
tomutn and cucumber seed, the tomato
plants having been cut down under glass.
Mr. Shuptrine says that after ordering as
much seed as he thought ample for his trade
during the entire summer, he found it
necessary to order 150 bushels more by tel
egraph.
Referring to the heavy loss sustained by
truckers, Mr. Shuptrine says that had it
not been for the cold wave there would
have been shipped from Savannah last
week and this weak fully $20,000 worth of
peas.
WANT TO COMB T(^|AVANNAH.
A Big Manufacturing Company Talk
ing of Locating Here.
Savannah’s advantages as a manufactur
ing city are beginning to be recognized by
capitalists. The National Lathe and Tool
Company of Philadelphia, of which Mayor
Fitler of Philadelphia is vice president, has
written to Mayor Schwarz and Supt.
Howard, of the hoard of trade, that it pro
poses to locate a manufacturing plant some
where in Georgia for the production of all
kinds of woodwork by patented machinery.
The company has factories in London*
Eng., Boston, San Francisco, and Tacuina.
Mr. Fitler writes that the company is ready
to establish a factory in Savannah and
locate permanently here, if a sufficient
number of responsible citizens will
assume the direction and control
of the plant, contributing suffi
cient subscriptions only to handle the
plant and operate it. Mr. Fitler says that
the company will accept stock in prefer
ence to any money consideration, and will
sufficiently prove all statements made to
the satisfaction of those who are disposed to
take hold of the matter.
The company invites a committee from
Savannah to visit any of its factories, with
a view to organizing a company here.
THB REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE.
The Plans of the Incorporators of the
New Organization.
The movement to establish a real estate
exchange is a step toward doing away with
the court house sales. The incorporators
of the exchange, as soon as they have se
cured a charter, and have got in working
order, will submit a bill to the legislature
authorizing the sale of estate property in
the exchange.
This, when all of the real estate brokers
have come into the exchange, will practi
cally do away with the court house sales of
real estate except that which is sold for
taxes. The petition for incorporation which
was presented to the superior court last
week by 8. K. Platsbek and M. A. O’Byrne
contemplates the establishment of au
exchange upon very nearly the
same plan as that of the New York Real
Estste Exchange.
It is claimed by the incorporators that it
will regulate the real estate business, and
will put it on a better basis than at present.
The plan is to bring all of the rel estate
brokers in the city Into the exchange and
make it the medium for handling all real
property.

TO OPEN THE NKW ROAD.
The City to Have Another Street West
of the CanaL
May. r Schv.-arz has instructed City En
gineer Winn to notify the Central railroad
that the fifty-foot roadway which it agreed
to give along the western boundary of its
land n rth rf the Bay street extension may
now be opened.
In referring to his action the mayor said
ye,ter day tha: he bas taken this course so
that the roadway may be opened before
the close of his administration, to avoid any
dispute which might hereafter arise, an
embarrassing position which the present
city council found itself confronted with
when it wvnt into power.
The road runs in a northwardly direction
from the western terminus of that portion
of the Bay street extension recently thrown
open by the Central ou to the Vale Royal
road, near the Savan ah river. The road
will be about 2,900 feat long. The city, hi v
ing fifty feet from the Central proper:y,
also claims twenty-four feet from private
property on Ihe same line, thus securing a
roadway seventy-four feet wide, from the
Bav street extension nearly to the river.
The Bay street extension lies near the
southern j>ortion of the water works tract,
and the latter will be connected with the
new street by an un-named street
in the Jasperville tract It is
learned that the city will, in a few days,
push its part of the Bay street extension
forward through the Exley farm.
MAY HAVE ONE NEXT YEAR.
The City Can Get Along Without an
Electrician Another Twelve Months.
The suggestion of the Southeastern tariff
association to tha city council that a local
electrician be appointed is not likely to be
adopted this year. The communication
was referred to the committee on streets
and lanes, and at the last meeting the com
mittee reported that it lie on the table for
the present.
Alderman Harmon, chairman of the street
and lane committee, said yesterday that in
the judgment of the committee the offioe of
electrician cannot be provided for this year,
but maybe next year.
The Southeastern Tariff Association has an
electrician for the states of Georgia, Flor
ida, Alabama, and the two Carol mas. whose
duty it is to inspect the electric light plants
and wires in all the cities of his territory,
to see if the wires are properly insulated and
deficiencies are pointed to be corrected, and
lessen the danger of tires from poorly in
sulated wires. In many cities of the south
it has been tound that the insulation is not
perfect.
The Southeastern Tariff Association, in
its communication, suggested to the council
that it would be well to have a local elec
trician to inspect the electric lighting sys
tem here with their electrician, but it ap
pears that for the present the city will try
and get along without one, aud depend
upon the official electrician of the tariff as
sociation, who will be here in a few days,
to make the inspection.
THE GOOD OF THE FREEZE.
It Will Make the City Healthier Next
Summer.
“There is no misfortune without some
thing to compensate for it,” said a physician
yesterday. “The cold weather of last week
was bad for the truck farmers,” he went
on to explain, “but its good results will ap
pear next summer. If It had not been for
the three cold nights when the mercury was
in the twenties for hours, there would have
been, after the open winter, a larger per
centage of sickness this summer. The
freezing weather has destroyed disease
germs, and proper sanitation during the
summer will, with the esunty and city
drainage, tend to decrease malarial dis
eases.”
The resolution of Alderman Cann looking
to the construction of a closed lewer to take
the place of the open Bilbo canal seems to
point to a sanitary improvement long de
manded by every consideration of the public
health, and it is learned that City E ginger
Winn is, under the resolution, making up
the estimate of the probable c®t of the
work. It is claimed that there is ample
time to construct the closed sewer before hot
weather sets in, and it is understood that the
present council is In favor of the abandon
ment of the open canal at the earliest prac
ticable moment.
MAKING UP THE SCHEDULE.
The Tybee Railway Getting Ready for
the Summer Kush.
President Purse aud General Agent
Woodruff have about completed the sum
mer schedule for the Tybee railway, and it
will go into effect April L Five trains will
be run daily during the entire season, with
extra trains during the hight of the season.
Au early train will be run from each end
of the road, leaving the city between 5 and
6 o’clock, aud the bland at the
same time. The down train will
carry to the island the marketing from the
city, and its up train will bring from the
island those who have to be in the city early
for business. This will allow many people
to live on the island who have heretofore
been unable to do because they could not
get up to the city early enough in the
morning.
The new locomotives for the road, which
are being built, are oxpectei to be here by
May 1, and the road will have been fully
re equipped by the time the summer rush of
travel ley ins. President Purse expects that
the coming season will be the biggest that
Tybee has ever known.
GROUND RENTERS PAYING UP.
Fifteen Have Already Taken Advan
tage of the City’s Offer.
No loss than fifteen ground rent lot owners
have thus far taken advantage of the city’s
proposition to discount the balance of the
pun base money due, and have paid up and
taken foe simple deeds, and it is learned
that a large number will follow the example
between now and May 1.
Mayor Schwarz, who is a ground rent
owuor, informed a Morning News reporter
yesterday that he intends to pay up his
balance and get the property in fe • simple.
It is estimated that about *300,000 will come
into the city treasury from ground rent
lot owners who want their property in lee
simple, and will take advantage of the dis
count offered by the citv. A few of the
ground renters will contest the right to tax
in the court*, and If they loss, as the city
attorney thinks they will, they will not get
the benefit of the reduction.
An adjourned meeting of the ground
renters will be held at Masonic Hall to
night.
The New Quarantine.
City Engineer Winn, Health Officer Brun
ner, and the mayor, if his engagements will
permit, will go down the river on the naph
tha boat to Cockapur point to note the prog
ress on the new quarantine wharves. Work
is progressing favorably at the new' quaran
tine station, and the mayor is quoted as say
ing that the si a.ion, when constructed and
equipped, will be the best south of Balti
more, and will facilitate the commerce of
the port immeasurably.
Improving the Ball Park.
Manager Reid of the Bolton street ball
park, after a visit to and an inspection of
the park yesterday, ordered additional
seats to be added to the hippodrome, its
foundation strengthened, and the park
rolled and put in good condition for vi.iting
clubs which are expected to play exhibition

that tne De Soto is the finest hotel south of
Philadelphia, excepting the Ponce de Leon.
The party was loud in its praise of the

BOUND TO BE ON TIME.
An Up-Country County Getting
Anxious About the Census.
Some people have very queer notions of
the functions of the census enumerator.
Isaac Beckett, Esq., who has just received
his commission as supervisor for the Fifth
district of Georgia, was somewhat surprised
the other day to receive notice that in one
of the counties in his district the colored
people had come together and solemnly
appointed a man to take the census of the
county.
Mr. Beckett was asked yesterday ab. ut
it, but was unwilling to bo quoted in the
matter, and yet he was not prepared to
deny that the story is not well authenti
cated. He said that he expects to begin
the work of taking the census June 1, and
that it will be his aim to select only the
most competent persons with the view of
getting a reliable enumeration of his dis
trict.
To Remodel the Southern Express
Office.

AROUND THE CITY EXCHANGE.
Newa Gathered from the Long Room
aud City Officea
The matter of adopting a telegraphic
signal system for tha police department is
still under consideration by the police com
mittee of the city council, but it has not
yet been decided whether it will be recom
mended to council for adoptiou.
An adjourned meetipg of council will be
held to-morrow night.
Alderman Hannon, chairman of the street
and lane committee, in speikiug of some of
the dark spots in the citv, said yesterday
that there are not enough lights, and Mayor
Schwarz says that it i, quite proballe that
a few additional iamps will be recom
mended.
A detail of men from the fire department
were busy yesterday putting up the wires
for the new fire alarm telegraphic circuit.
The brick is hei g hauled to build the new
engine house on lieury street, ..ear Drayton,
and the equipments already provided and to
be provided will put the fire department on
ago! footing. The chemical e; giue is ex
pected in a few days.
It is said that as a result of the determi
nation of council to sit as a court and under
the advice of City At’orney Adams require
those wno have appealed from the action of
the assessment commit'ee to answer under
oath all questions, that several of the appel
lants will not give the matter any further
attention, as they will run the risk of having
their assessments raised—something they
had not contemplated. To give up the
amcuut of their insurance on stock and the
amount of their monthly balances is diving
into their business affairs a little deeper than
some of thorn want the council to go. They
are likely to bo asked what reports they
furnished tha commercial agencies, and at
all these answers must be made under oath,
it has tended to discourage gome of these
who had appealed.
CAUGHT IN THE CORRIDORS.
Mr. Mackenzie of the Garrett party, who
considers that his acquaintance in the south
entities him to give out information about
it, upon being asked by Mr. Gilmore, an
other member of the party, what Savan
nah’s population is, replied, “a million nnd
a quarter.” When he found that his figures
were too high, he remarked, “I had just
taken a trip through Bull street.”
“I wonder if John Wanamaker is going
to stop here,” inquired a Philadelphian at
the De Soto last night. He had just received
a letter announcing that the Postmaster
General wouid leave Washington last night
on a southern tour. “I know John,” he
added, “and he must not return north with
out seeing Savannah and the De Soto.”
“The largest greyhound iu Savannah is a
guest at one of the hotels,” remarked a
tourist last night. The dog is owned by Dr.
Bernhardt. It is a magnificent animal, over
3 feet high and 7 foal long. It is the last of
twelve fine thoroughbreds used in rabbit
chases in the west.
“Men who are closely confined during the
day have, I should think, an excellent op
portunity to exercise themselves in Savan
nah during the evenings,” said a guest last
night, sitting out ou the front of one of the
hotels watchiug a half dozen guests prome
nading iu one of the parks.

FIGHT OVER A CITV LOT.
Dr. Norton Sues for Possession of
Property He Claims to Have Bought.
In the superior court yesterday Judge
Fallißaut granted a temporary injunction,
restraining Mary E. Behnken and "William
E. Behnken from removing any part of the
burned building at Barnard and Anderson
streets, or disposing of the ground or en
cumbering it. The petition for tne injunc
tion was filed by Dr. K. G. Norton, wiio
also asks the court; to compel the Behnkens
to make him a title to the property, as he
alleges that he purchased it Dec. 12 last for
$2,700, and he attaches an exhibit to his
declaration which is a certificate of pur
chase from Laßoche & McLaughlin, agents
of the property in dispute.
Dr. .Norton alleges that he has tendered
the purchase money, which has baen re
fused, and that the defendants have placed
the property with I. D. Laßoche & Son for
sale. He says that he built two handsome
houses on the adjoining lot, and, t > prevent
the Behnken lot from having negro tene
ment houses built thereon, he bought the
lot of their brokers, Laßoche & McLaugh
lin.
In granting the temporary injunction,the
court required the defendants to answer
March 24, showing cause why the injunc
tion should not be made perpetual ana the
specific performance sued for should not be
ordered.

The Driver Won the Bride.
Parkersburg Special in Chicago Tribune.
Amos Lemon since boyhood has loved
bis pretty cousin, Mi-s Emma Lemon, and
always declared his intention of marrying
her. Amos went to Uniontown, where he
secured a lucrative position. A few days
ago he wrote to his cousin saying that he
had made all the preparation’ for a quiet
wedding, but as he was unable to leave his
work he asked her to come to him. She
agreed, and Thursday started. Amos sent
a carriage and a handsome driver to convey
her par. of the way, and in that he was
unwise, for the driver, John Tomlinson,
mads love to Miss Lemon on the wav, and
so successful was his wooing that the young
woman told her cousin as soon as she saw
him that she could not be his bride, as her
heart was another’s. Arrangements are
now in progress for a wedding, in which the
parties in the carriage are much interested.

A Shrewd Advertising Dodge.
You will frequently find in tbe columns
of the daily papers paragraphs purporting
to be most entertaining morsels of news or
gossip, but the final italicized "Adv" gives
it away as the shrewd idea of some progres
sive dealer to attract attenHon to his wares
just as this is written to convey to your far
seeing mind the fact that M. Sternberg &
Bro. are the leading jewelers and dealers in
precious stones, silverware, bronzes, valu
able art goods for decoration and use. If
people could only begin at the other end of
all newspaper articles thev might save a
little time, but they would' lose a deal of
valuable information.—Adv.
