JUMPED A MOVING TRAIN
& PBETZBL FKIPS LEAVING HIS
WORKMEN IN A LURCH.
The Washboard Manufacturer Fails to
Pay Off Hie Hands and While Passing
a South Bound Train With One of Hi 9
Creditors He Jumps Aboard and £e
capes—The story of His Tricks.
S. Pretzel, who came here from Atlanta
a few weeks ago and began the manufact
ure of washboards, has skipped and left his
workmen in the lurch for their pay .
BPretzel left the city yesterday by boarding
the South Bound train for Columia, about
half a mile from the city. He had six men
employed in constructing the washboards,
and when they asked for their wages last
Saturday night, Pretzel told them be would
settle everything Monday, as soon as be
ooull collect from Guckenbeimer & Sons, to
whom he had been selling the washboards.
Monday came, but no money was forth
coming, and Pretzel didn’t show up at alb
Yesterday the meD started out to find him.
They met him coming out of Guckenheimer
& Sons'and tackled him for their money.
He said there was a little discrepancy in his
lumber bill from Halo, Dixon & Cos., ad be
would have to look into that before any
wages could be paid.
DEMANDED THEIR WAGES.
The workmen told Pretzel that it didn’t
make any difference to them how many
discrepancies there was in his bills. All
they wanted was what justly belonged to
them for their labor and they wanted it
right away. They told him that they
bad stood enough foolishness and were get
ting a little tired. Pretzel told his ex-ein
ployes that under the circumstances he
would have to borrow money to meet their
demands, and it they would walk around
to Cohen’s store, on Broughton street, he
would get the money. Pretzel said he and
Mr. Cohen were warm, personal frieuds,
tuid be wouldn’t huveauy trouble in getting
what be wanted.
NOT SO BAD AFTER TO ALL
The nio-i weut with Pretzel to Coheu’s
and be went inside and came out again in a
minute or two and invited all hands around
the corner for n drink. After getting the
drinss Pretzel told his late workmen that
he had got money to pay them and would
do so as soon as he could see Mr. Cohen
again for a minute. On the way back to
Cohen’s the washboard manufacturer told
the men that he intended to go to Charles
ton and Columbia to establish the business
because it wouldn’t pay in Savannah, ar.d
he wanted them to go with him.
He said be knew be hadn’t
treated them exactly right, but would
make ameuds for it in the iuture. The men
had beguu to thiuk by the time they got to
Cohen’s agaia tint Pretzel wasn’t such a
bod fellow after all. He went Into the
store apd told the men to wait for him a
lew minutes.
SKIPPED BY A LANE DOOR.
They waited. The few minutes passed,
and Pretzel wasn't in sight. They lingered
a few minutes longer and then C. K.
Tucker, one of their number, went into the
store to find out what was de
laying the washboard man. But
Preizel wasn't there. He had gone out
the lane door and disappeared. When
Tucker reported to his companions that
Pretzel had given them the slip they wore a
mad set of mon. They went to tho railroads
and inquired about him, but no cue had
seen him. The men separated after awhile
feeling pretty blue over their experience
with wnshbnaids, ana with no hope of ever
meeting agaiu the man who had defrauded
them of their wages. While walking along
West Broad street by himself shortly a ter
ward, Tucker came lace to face with Pret
zel. Tb latter cursed under his hroatti as
he saw his ox-employe, and Tucker do
uiaudod his money.
PLANNING TO ESCAPE.
“I haven’t got any,” said Pretzel, “but if
you come with mo I’ll go: it for you.”
Tucker agreed to go and Pretzel never
stopped till he got to the brickyard on the
Louisville road, over a mile out west of the
city. He told Tucker that one of tho men
employed there owed him monav. They
walked around the brickyard, hut Pretzel
said he couldn’t see the man he wunted and
h ■ guessed he was at the store at the forks
of the Augusta and Louisville roads. Back
to the store Tuoker went with Pretzel, who
hung around there awhile under pretense of
waiting for the man who owed him money.
Tucker got mad and told Pretzel tnat he
believed he was a fraud and was trying to
beat him. The washboard manufacturer
got indignant and said ho would oome back
to the city at once and get the mouev and
show him that be wasn’t a fraud. T'ucker
told him that was just what he wanted and
they started back.
JUMPED A TRAIN.
About a half mile from tho city they met
the South Bound train going out. Pretzel
asked the conductor where the train was
going, and when told to Columbia ho turned
to bis companion and remarked that he
guessed he didn’t want to go there just yet.
About that time the last coach of the train
was passing nnd Pretzel made a jump from
Tucker’s side and got on the rear platform.
Tucker yelled to the trainman to throw
I'retzel off, but the train was increasing its
speed every moment, and his voice was lo6t
in the noise.
Tucker came back to the city disconsolate.
He said he is a poor man from Boston, and
was depending on the money Pretzel owed
bim to pay his board.
The swindler is a tall, thin man with a
•light stoop and a rather dissipated look.
He has dark hair and sports a mustache.
He is a hard drinker.
THE FINEST IN THE UNION*.
That is Lieut. Satterlee’s Opinion of
the Cadets.
Lieut Satterlee, in hi3 speech at the ban
quet of the Sons of the Revolution at the
De Soto night before last, while speaking
of Georgia’s soldiery, paid a high oompli
ment to the Savannah Cadets.
“I have drawn a standard,” said be, “for
the Georgia troops, and I am pleased
to say that they are all striving
splendidly Bto reech lit. But in
speaking of the soldiery I want to sav a
word about a oompany of this city which I
consider superior and above any military
organization in any of the states of the
union which I have visited. It has done
splendid, practical work. The Havannah
Cadets have reached that standard to which
I only wish all the Georgia troops could bo
brought.”
TAKEN TO BAPELO.
Pilot Fitzgerald Carried There on the
Bars Hods.
The bark Roma, which was ordered to
Sapelo quarantine a few days ago, because
•he had sickness on board while at Santos,
carried with her Capt. Johu Fitzgerald, the
pilot who boarded her.
Under the regulations of the port a pilot
who boards an infected or suspeoted vessel
must go into quarantine with her. How it
was that Capt. Fitzgerald came to go aboard
the Roma is as yet unknown, os he has not
been heard from since, but it is more than
probable that the master of the vessel failed
to notify the pilot before he got ou deok of
his having had sickness on board at Santos.
Savannah pilots are too much interested in
enforcing the quarantine to make any mis
take in the matter of quarantine regula
tions.
The Mardl Gras Sporta
W. R. Curtis, John Ulmer, Henry
Lemcke,and perhaps others from Savannah
will attend the Mardi Gras tournament of
the Louisiana Gun Club at New Orleans,
Feb. 25, 26, 27 and 28. A large list of
events has been arranged and the contest
will be attended by sportsmen from all over
the union.

The Charlton-Flemlng Wedding the
Event of the Season.
The marriage of Mr. Hemau Averill
Charlton aud Miss Eleanor Miot Fleming at
the Independent Presbyterian eburoh at
6:30 o'olock last night was a brilliant event
It was what might be called a diamond
and rose wedding. It was witnessed by
probably the largest number of people ever
seen at a wedding in Savannah. The body
of tbe church was filled to its capacity and
there was only standing room in tbe galler
ies. From tbe vestibule out to tbe sidewalk
hundreds who could not get inside stood to
get a glimpse of the bridal party osit passed
in and out,
The church presented a brilliant scene.
The platform around the pulpit wascoverod
with white canvas and graceful palms filled
the open space. Under tbe pulpit tbe hand
some standing vase was ornamented with
pink roses and ferns. The decorations were
arranged in such manner os to form an ef
fective garden scene.
The musio was rendered by a choir of
twenty-five voices under the direction of
Prof. Willard N. Smith. A bridal chorus
was sung as the party entered the eburoh
and marched up tbe aisle. Tbe procession
was beaded by the ushers, YVylly Wood
bridge, T. Lloyd Owens, George P. Screven,
Charles A. L.’ Cunningham, W. Trenholm
Hopkins ad Horace A. Crane, Jr. Then

Wilmington, N. C.; P, Alston Waring, J.
Ferris Cann, Hugh Comer, Thomas Screven,
Jr., G. M. Gadsden, R. G. Fleming, Jr.,

The bride leaning on the arm of her father
came last.
The groom with hts best man, William
H. Crane, met the party at the altar, tbe

the attendants stood ou each side in tbe
bower of plants.
The party marched from tho altar in re
verse order, the bride and groom heading
tbe procession, to the straiua of Lohengrin’s
wedding march and a bridal chorus.
The bride wore a magnifloaub white silk
oourt train dress, and u full length tulle veil,
caught with a cluster of orange blossoms and
flowers Sne carried a bouquet of hyacinths,
surrounded by the daintiest ferns.
Miss Vida Fleming, the maid of honor,
wore a white and silver brocaded dress and
carried a bouquet of white roses.
Tbe bridesmaids’ gowns were exquisite
inspirations of pink faille oblffon aud roses,
made ou train. Each wore a bandeau and
aigrette of pink. The pink roses carried
by the ladies were from Hammond’s in
Richmond, Va.
Mrs. Fleming, the bride’s mother, was
attired in a magnificent gown of yellow
brocade-hand embroidered in amber, the
train being edged with marabou feather
trimming.
Mrs. Johnson, the bride’s sister, was in a
handsomo gown of light green brocade.
After the church ce' emony there was a
reception at the residence of the bride’s
parents. No. 56 Liberty street, which was
largely attended by tho frieuds of the bride
and groom. The parlors and halls wore
elegantly decorated with potted pla its,
ferns, ivy and banked flowers. Just before
starting for her bridal tour Mrs. Charlton
stood on the stairway and threw her bou
quet to her attendants. Miss Annie Comer
was the lucky one to get the silver heart,
which contained a portrait of the bride.
Miss Bailie McAlpin got the ring
out of the wedding cake. Mr.
Gadsden scoured the thimble nnd Mr. Hugh
Comer came in for the bodkin, the bachel
or's insignia.
Mr. and Mrs. Charlton left at 7:30 o’clock
on Capt. Fleming’s private cor for a trip
through Florida.
The bride and groom received 125 pres
ents, some of which were of the hand
somest and costliest character. They came
from friends in all parts of the country.
The groom is one of Havanuah’s well
known aud popular young gentlemen, a
genoral favorite lu social circles. Ho is
assistant cashier of the Chatham Bank.
The bride is a charming and accomplished
young lady, whose circle of frieuds is
bounded only by her acquaintance. She is
a daughter of General Suoerintendent
Fleming of tho Savannah, Florida and
Western railway.
ANOIHEK MAN KNOWS LINDNER.
Dr. Jarrell Thinks He Met Him Once in
LaGrange.
“Rev.” George J. Lindner, alias Fleisch
and several other names, whose career has
been fully described in the Morning News,
seems to have worked the country pretty
thoroughly in bis character of
a converted Hebrew and missionary,
taking in come of the small towns as
well as the oities.
Rev. A. J. Jarrell of Trinity church
thinks ho had an experience with him in
LaUratige about two years ago.
A man, giving his name os Bernard, put
iu an appearance at LaGrauge while Dr.
Jarrell was in oharge of the Methodist
church there, and introduced himself os a
oonverted Hebrew and missionary who
was returning from Mexico, where he had
been at work in the missionary field.
He talked very interestingly of bis
experiences in Mexico and also in Texas,
where according to ins statement he had a
pretty tough time of it. He was an ardent
prohibitionist, he said, and carried his fight
against the liquor mon to such an extent
that a mob of them hunted him down
aud shot him. This explained a small uick
in his lip and the loss of several teeth which
he said had been shot out.
Bernard tr Lindner spent several days at
Dr. Jarrell’s house and a small collection
was taken up for him by the church.
He did not practice any of his swindling
operations iu LaGrange, however, and ob
tained only the money that was collected
for him. Some suspicion seemed to attach
to him, however, and when the account of
Lindner’s arrest appeared in the Morning
News the members of Dr. Jarrell’s family
at once exclaimed that Lindner and
Bernard woro the same man. Lindner is by
this time in the Nashville jail.

THU CORNER-STONE LAID.
The Ceremony of Beginning the Walls
of tbe Guckenbeimer building
The corner-stone of the new Gucken
heimer building, at Bay aud Jefferson
streets, the laying of which was postponed
i Monday on aocount of the rain, was suc
cessfully laid at 5 o’clock yesterday after
noon. The stone was swung into place, and
the ceremony attending tbe laying of it was
performed by Master Herbert Joieph Gerst,
the 3-year-old grandson of Mr. S. Gucken
heimer.
Tbe event was an auspicious one. Quite
a number of guests were present and the
ceremony was witnessed with much interest.
The stone is a limestone block feet,
and was placed iu the northeast wall. The
inscription is :
• *
Founded by 8. Guckenheimer 1861.:
: Erected 1888. Destroyed by fire, Septein •:
: her 23, 18H1. Habuiit-SMk-PiW.
• *
In the hollow of the stone is tbe copper
box, in which were placed and sealed tbe
following articles: Package of confederate
notes, Atlantic and Gulf railroad due bills,
state of Georgia notes and Central railroad
bund, a collection of sixty-seven coins, of
all nations, of dates from 1638 to tbe later
eoiuage; a Guokenbelmer & Sons' trade cat
alogue, envelope containing letters, signa
tures and cards, a lithograpbio picture
of the original building before and
after the flro, copies of the Morning News
of Oct. 11, 1891, and Fob. 9, 1892, and of
the W eekly News of Oct. 3, 189!, and of
the Evening Press of Feb. 9, 1892; and a
copy of the Hebrew almanao for the year
5652, with other articles.
Architect Eichberg and Mr. S. Gacken
heimer, tbe senior member of the firm, and
Messrs. S. 8. Guckenheimer and Abe S.
Guckenheimer, juuior members, and their
families, watched the placing of the stone
in position. After the ceremony
the stone was dedicated with cham
pagne and the guests were entertained.
A keg of beer was opened for the workmen
on tho building—over 100 of them. The
work on the building began Dec. 5 and tho
firm expects to have it roady for occupancy
some tima in May. Yyhen it is completed it
will be one of the finest commercial
buildings if not tbe finest in tbe city. The
exterior will be a counterpart of tha origi
nal building except the tower. The interior
will be arranged with a view to the best
possible facilitation of business. The work
upon it will be pushed with the utmost
rapidity and in less than four months the
firm be in possession of a magnificent struct
ure.
THE ALMARIA'S CREW SAFE.
Capt. Olsen aud His Men Land at
Thunderbolt.
Tho missing boat containing Capt. Olsen
and five of the crew of tbe stranded bark
Almaria, reached Thunderbolt night before
lost after twenty-three hours drifting and
hard rowing.
Capt. Olsen came Into the city yesterday
morning and is at the Marshall house. He
noted protost on his arrival. The remainder
of the crew were brought in from Thunder*,
bolt later, and were quartered at John
Kelly’s, where the other boat crew is. The
whole of the crew is now accounted for.
The tug Jacob Paulsen, in command of
Capt. Avery, went to tbe stranded vessel
and found her on the north breaker of Ossa
baw bar. There was deeD water In close
proximity to tho vessel, 'but she was high
up and her baok was broken, the tide ebbing
aud flowing in her. Her stern was high out
of the water, while her bow was under
water and she was fast settling in the'sand
of the breakers and beyond all chance of
saving. Her masts are all standing and her
sails are bent.
Tho crew of the tug boarded the vessel
and took all the furniture to be found and
some old sails from the lockor besides hor
charts and brought them to the city. If she
does not go to pieces soon by reason of
rough weather,and a fine day like yesterday
should offer, a lighter could be talteu to her
aud she can bo stripped, although there is
hardly enough ou her, it is said, to pay for
tho trouble.

AFTER THE FAST DRIVERS.
Policeman Bosaell Tackles One of
Them on Broughton Street.
Policeman Bosssll had a lively round with
a oolored truck driver yesterday.
The policeman was on his boat on Brough
ton street, between Bull and Drayton, when
one of Edward Lovell’s Sons wagons dashed
by driving at a rapid rate. Bossell called
to the driver to slow, but he continued in
full speed. The officer dashed after
the wagon av.d jumping in
a*. the rear end scrambled
to the front and collared the driver. The
fellow male a desperate resistance and
cursed and abused the policeman.
Policeman McHugh went to Policeman
Bossell’s assistance and the two officers to
gether dragged the driver from the wagon
and carried him to the barracks. He con
tinued bis resistance on the way. The
driver’s name was Butler. A charge of fast
driving and cursing aud resisting an officer
was entered against him.
Can’t Get Away From the Grip.
Mr. Charles E. Stoskes, the cartoonist,
who was to give a lecture at the Young
Men’s Christian Association Friday night,
is sick with the grip, and unable to fill any
of tils engagements. The committee tried
to secure someone to take bis place, but
have been unable to do so. The prevailing
disease of grip has caused many lecturers
aud concert companies to cancel dates. The
committee hope to sroure someone to fill
tbe place, if not for Friday night, for some
time next week.

What Savannah Factors Say About
the Situation.
There are some significant facts In wh; t
the leading cotton factors of Savannah say
on the subject of the existing low prices of
cotton.
“These figures speak for themselvee,” said
one factor yesterday, pointing to the st .la
ment of the Financial Chronicle of Feb.
6, upon the total visible supply of cotton on
that date for the last three years.
“It pute the thing Id a nutshell” he said.
"Here it is. OnFeb. 5, 1890, the world’s total
visible supply of cotton was 3,110,297 bales
and the price of middling up
lands in Liverpool 6 pence and
in New York 11 3-16 cents. Feb.
5,1891, the total visible supply was 3,595,769
bales and the price in Liverpool was 6
pence and in New York cents. In
1892 the total visible supply is
4.623,661 bales and thuprioe of middling up
lands in Liverpool is 3 !3-16d, in New York
7 5-160. It Is very plain. Total visible
supply in 1890,3,000,000 hales, price 113-16 c,
total visible supply in 1891, 3,500,000 bales,
an increase of 500,000 bales, price 9i£c,
total visible supply Iu 1892, 4,600,000 bales,
an increase of 1,000,000 bales over 1891
and 1,500,000 over 1890, price 7 5-10 c iu New
York.
THE CROP AND THE PRICE.
“An Increase of 500,000 bales lost year and
a deorease of 2 cents in price, another in
crease of 1,000,000 bales this year and
another decrease of 2 cents in the price. An
increase of a 1,500,000 iu the supply and a
decrease of 4 cents iu the price in two years.
“ Following the conclusion, if there is a
similar increase in the crop next year cot
ton will soil at 5 cents in New York. It
will not need an increase of the crop to do
that even. If the crop is as large this year,
and another year's surplus Is added to
this year’s surplus, cotton will sell
at 5 cents anyway. We have raised
more cotton than the world cau consume.
There is another thing. The continent
raised a small food crop last year and ail
their money is going for grain. Conse
quently the people of Europe are buying
less cotton goods and the market is dull.
See what the Chronicle says about the Man
chester market.
"Our report by cable to night from Man
chester states that the market Is fiat for yarns
and quiet for shirtings. The demand for both
home trade and foreign markets is poor.”
A COMPARISON OF PRICES.
“A comparison of prices with last year is
given. Feb. 5, 1891, B'j-pound shirting was
quoted at 6 shillings 3 pence to 7 shillings 8
pence by the pieco. On Feb. 5, 1892, the
same goods are quoted at 5 shillings 5 pence
to 6 shillings 10 pence, a difference of nearly
1 shilling per pieco.”
"What should the farmers plant next
year?” the question was asked.
"Riant anything,” was tho reply. “Bet
ter plant nothing at all than to raise cotton
at 6 cents and sell it for 5.”
The Idea that the crop must be cut
down is generally prevalent. This is
likely to be accomplished in an
other way than by resolutions
passed at farmers’ conventions and alliance
meetings. On account of the low prices
and the bad condition of the farmers gen
erally, the fertilizer men are cutting down
their sales from 25 to 50 per cent, under lost
rear’s soles. The merchant who purchased
100 tons last year ou credit will do well to
get 50 or 60 tons on tho same conditions
this year. The merchants, too, are cutting
down their credit accounts in the same
ratio.
The colored farmor has gone to the wall
with a vengeance. On account of the good
crops and fair prices of the previous years,
every negro who oould buy an old mule on
time and get somebody to run him went
to raising cotton on his own
hook and the white farmers were not able
to get labor. The majority of them have
failed to pay their bills, and the
merchants and land owners have
been the sufferers. This year
the negro farmer will find it hard to” get
either land or credit. These thing! should
make some reduction of the crop. The
probability is, though, that this year’sjerop
will he large enough, together with the sur
plus from last year’s crop, to keep tbe prioe
down.
Careful inquiry shows that Dr. Bull’s Cough
Syrup is the cough remedy in this country.— Ad.
THE MEDAL CONTESTS.
The Competition for the Demorest
Honors Exciting Interest.
The Woman’s Christian Temperance
Union ladies are arr"aging for another con
test for the Domorest medal, to take place
iu a short time. Two contests have already
been held under their auspices for the silver
medal. The winners of these medals are
David Allen and Mamie Lebey.
When six silver medals have been
awarded a contest will be opened by those
holding the silver medals for a gold" medal.
The contests for the silver medals will be
continued at the samo time. The leaders of
tbe union are auxious to have the four addi
tional contests to open tbe competition for
the gold medal in the next few months. A
competing c.ass for the silver medal must
consist of at least six members.
Eight or more who have received gold
medals may, iu tho same manner, enter
into a contest for a larger gold medal. And
in like manner, eight or more holding this
larger gold medal may compete for a
’ ‘diamond medal,” which is a handsome
gold medal set with diamonds.
Contestants who have not won a medal
may speak as many times as desired for tbe
silver medal. No one holding a medal can
compete the second time for tbe samo kind
of medal. Those who win silver medals
may compete twice for the first gold medal,
but only one trial will be allowed to con
testants for the large gold and tho diamond
medals. At each contest tha speakers are
to learn new pieces.
There is considerable interest in tho con
tests, and it is expected that a larger class
will compete at the next contest th,.n did at
the last.
IN BEHALF OF THE POOR.
Tho Work of the 'Woman’s Christian
Temperance Union Last Month.
During last month the Woman’s Christian
Temperance Union found employment
for 23 men and boys who were with
out work and in need of it. The union
lodged 330 people at its free lodging house
on Broughton street, and furnished 190
meals. There were 72 visitors at the rooms.
The young people’s work and free kinder
garten were being successfully conducted,
rbo union, through its various branches, is
accomplishing a good deal in the work it has
undertaken.

Common Sense for Maid, Wife and
Mother,” says:
"For tho aching back—should it be slow
iu recovering its normal strength—an All
cock’s Porous Plaster is an excellent com
forter, combining the ssusation of the sus
tained pressure of a strong warm hand with
certain tonic qualities developed in the wear
ing. It should be kept over the seat of un
easiness for several days—iu obstinate cases,
for perhaps a fortnight.
“For pain in the back wear an All
cock’s Porous Plaster constantly,renew
ing as it wears off. This is an invaluable
support when the weight on the small of
the back becomes heavy and the aohing
incessant."— Ad.

THE TESTIMONY ALL IN.
The Argument in the Von der Eoya
Case to B--gln This Morning.
The arguments in the Yon der Hoya case
will begin this morning at 9 o'clock. The
testimony was concluded yesterday morn
ing, with the exception of two witnesses on
minor points.
Dr. Lou s von der Hoya was the most im
portant witness yesterday. He testified
that the boxes in which the instruments
were found when seizeJ and in which it is
claimed they wore brought to this country,
were bought in Germany. They are
commonly used as linen cases there.
They were fitted up with shelves wblob
wore placed loose in the bottom and then
packed with household goods aud brought
to tills country. They were thoroughly in
spected at the custom house in New York,
he said, and nothing dutiable found.
In common with the other members of
tho family. Dr. von der Hoya declared that
Inspector Scofield, who is present at the
trial, was not the man who examined the
boxes, notwithstanding th 6 inspector’s
mark is upon them. Dr. von der Hoya did
not recognize the signature of
"Louis Hoya” on the wharf
clerk's receipt as his handwriting. He said
be might have told the draymen to sign
for him, who, misunderstanding the name,
dropped the “ von der” and merely signed it
Louis Hoya.
When questioned as to his means by the
district attorney, Dr. von der Hoya testified
that his income was sufficient to support
him without the practice of his profession.
He is an allopattilo physician, ho said, and
has frequently practiced in this country.
Ho derived a revenue of $2,000 clear of all
expenses from the praotlce of bis profession
for six months in Atlanta, he said.
S JDr. von der Hoya said he was interested
in the direct trade project discussed some
time ago and was a member of the conven
tion held in Atlanta. He bad a scheme in
connection with the project by which he ex
pected to make $200,000. It was to plant a
colony of Germans In Middle Georgia and
establish a large tradiug company after di
rect trade bad been established between
Savannah and foreign ports.
Several witnesses testified to seeing gome
of the instruments seized in the Von der
Hoya collection several years before,
Mr. F. J. Ruckert testified that he bad
sold violins to Prof. Von der Hoya years
ago, aud identified some of tbe violins as
those sold to him.
Judge Speer said he would allow the at
torneys upon each side two hours in which
to make their arguments.
The court was adjourned until 9 o’clock
this morning.
AT THE THE ATE 3.
The “Little Nugget’s” Success—Soth
ern To-night.
“Little Nuggot” was played before good
houses yesterday and last uight. The play
and players are both funny. The musio,
both vocal and instrumental, was excellent,
as was tbe singing and dancing.
E. H. Sothern will make his bow to Sa
vannah theater-goers to-night ia "The
Highest Bidder.” To-morrow night he will
be seen in “Lord Cbumley,” both of which
have had long careers of prosperity at tbe
New York Lvceum theater, and in the
other cities. Mr. Sothern is now in his
fifth year os a successful star, but this
winter is the first ho has played an extended
tour of the south. He opened in New
Orleans on Jan. 25, and the
Picayune of that oitv speaking
of him the next day says: “Mr. Sothern
conquered all who saw him, and captured
the best part of the city, a theater full of
appreciative people. Mr. Sothern plsyß
"Jack” as his father would have played it,
or as Charles Wyndham would play It.
His stammering and hesitating in love is
delicious, his touches of sentiment and ten
derness are beyond the scope of the average
comedian. There is oniy praise to he said
for tbe company and no fault to be fouud
with it.”
DB. COOK ALL RIGHT.
The Grand Jury in Too Much of aHurry
in Indicting Bim.
The indictment of Dr. Cook by the grand

Cook can practice os ninch as ho pleases.

t ear Stories of Maine Hunters.
From the Lewiston Journal.
"Charles Smith, the Jackson boar
hunter,” said a trapper, “followed a tracg
through the snow some winters ago, aud
finally it disappeared in a ledge. He was
bound not to give it up that way. so he made
him a torch and, taking it in one hand and
his single shot rifle iu the other, he entered
the den. He wasn’t long in spotting a pair
of eyes in adrunce of him, ancf he fired. Re
treating until ho was satisfied the bear must
be dead he again entered, but there the eyos
were, apparently as before. Again he fired
ami when be next entered the cave he round
he had killed two bears and both big ones.
"The most bear I ever got in one day was
when I went to visit one of my traps and
found an old she bear in the trap and two
cubs sleeping by her side. In less than three
minutes I had three dead bears, and if those
two cubs, killed cold, weren’t juicy eating
I’ll miss my guess. I got $54 out of that
morning’s work. You see it make? quite a
difference in the profits of bear hunting
whether we kill our game in New Hamp
shire or Maine. Here the bounty isonly $5,
while over the line it is $lO. So, unlike
Sawtelle, we are anxious to prove that we do
our killing in New Hampshire.
"For Distance, if X trap a bear in Maine, 1
try to get him across tbe line bef ire knock
ing him in the head. One, I loaded into a
cart and drove up into tbe door-ysriof one
of the sf-leetmeu of a neighboring town just
across the border, and there dispatched my
bear and called for and received my order,
making $5 in a few hours by so doing.”
