Arrest of Two NegrOes-ReeoVerY OF
Some of the Goods.

Several days since a freight train from
Florida over the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railway, loaded principally with
rosin aud other naval stores, arrived In the
city and was run down to the railroad
wharves, where the naval stores were
TO be discharged and the train
IN he returned to the depot for the
discharge of the general freight. In one Of
the cars. in addition to lot Of rosin, were
several bundles OF furs, skins, and
box containing q valuable rife and hard
ware. 1t appears that in unloading
the car not only the rosin was re-
moved but :he other articles mentioned,
and when the car was returned to the depot
It was found to be empty. An invesnga-
ton was at once made by Mr..
W. s. st. George, the Freight Agent,
but nothing was heard until Monday, when
it was sscertsined that some negroes had
offered lot of furs for sale TO Mr.. Lee Roy
Myers, on Bay street, who had refused 70
buy them. Another lot was taken to the
store Of Mr.. T. a. Mcmahon, in the eastern
part Of the city, who, after he had bought
them. suspected they might have been
stolen, aud therefore made inquiries, and
located the sellers. Subsequently Mr.. Nc
Msbon heard Of the robbery st the rail-
road Wharves, and making search Tor the
parties found one Of them on the street,
who was arrested aud lodged IN the
bsrranks This individual was Andrew
Runuells, who wss Yesterday delivered over
to Magistrate Wsring Russell, by whom he
was committed to jail. Andrew, becoming
frightened at the turn affairs had taken,
confessed that Charles Dixon, q notorious
negro wharf thief, was concerned in the
robbery with him, and during yesterday
morning. Charles was arrested and committed
TO jail By Magistrate Russell These captures
led to the discovery that there is regular
organized band Of negro thieves on the
Wharves who have for some time past been
engaged in systematic stealing. The greater
portion OF the furs was recovered, but the
box containing the hardware and the gun is
missing. COnstables WetherhOrn and Sui
Ivan were out yesterday afternoon on the
search for other suspected parties and the
remaining missing property. 1t is antici-
pated there will be additional arrests
shortly. The railroad officials intend prose
cutting these fellows to the full extent OF the

been forwarded US by DR.. A. Oemler, Presi-
dent of the Truck Farmers and Shippers

interest to the truck farmers in this section /:
NORFOLK, March %, 1889.
Dr. 4. OenleT, Esq:
DEAR SIR-On my arrival here l find q
letter awaiting me from my partner In New
York, saying the Ocean Steamship Company
have taken exceptions to a remark | made
at your meeting last week, when | said
"they had no lights on their dock in New
York, consequently could not unload their
steamers arriving there before daylight
George YoDge, Jr., the Agent in New
York, reports they have lights on their
dock, but were placed there in September
last. When / made the remark, was speak
ing Of the vegetable season Of 1881, which
was over before September.
l am very glad to know they have fsclli-
ties this coming season for lighting the
dock. but hope they will give us Tuesdays
ship from Savannah. which will be worth to
the Savannah and Florida truckers at low
estimate one hundred thousand dollars.
Please be kind enough to have the above
published In the Savannah MORNING NEWS,
as l did not, nor do l wish to, do the CON-
pany any injustice.
Yours, very truly,
r. E. COCHRAN.

There has OF late been considerable com
ment on the findings Of the Coroner's jury,
and the impression seems general that they
have exceeded their duties in designating
in cases of homicide the grade Of crime. It
is commended that the Coroner's jury have
only to ascertain in such cases how and
in what manner, and at whose hands,
the deceased met his death, but have no
right to express an opinion or render yer
dict as to whether It Is murder, voluntary
manslaughter, justifable homicide, etc.
This Is a mistake as the Code distinctly
declares the power of the Coroner's jury In
such language as to leave no. doubt on the
subject, and as the matter is of universal
interest we give the full text of section
4lO5 Of the Code of 1873, which Is still in
force. and which is as follows:
s41O5 Charge # Coroner and P0acer Of Jury.
The Coroner shall charge the jury to de-
clare OF the death OF the person upon whose
body the inquest IS held, whether such per
son died by murder, granddaughter, misad-
venture, misfortune, accident or otherwise,
and who and when, and by what means and
what manner, and If by murder, who was
the principal and who we're accessories, and
II by manslaughter who were the perpetra-
tors, and with what instrument the stroke
or wound was in either case given, and so
OF all the prevailing circumstances, which
may come from presumption, and II by mis-
adventure, misfortune, accident or other
wise; whether by the act of God or man,
and whether by hurt, fall, stroke, drowning
or in any other way, also what persons were
present at the death, also from whence the
deceased came, and who he was, and who
are his parents, relatives and neigh
bOrs, and also who were the finders
of the body, also whether be died in the
same PLACE the body was found or else
where, and IL elsewhere who removed the
body, aud also Of all the circumstances re-
lating to said death; and II the deceased
dies in prison the Coroner should
further charge the jury to inquire whether
be died by hard usage there or not, and II
so by whom, and IL the deceased put an end
to his life 20 inquire of the manner and
means used or instrument employed, and of
the circumstances concerning it, and the
Jury shall have full and unrestricted power
to inquire and pass upon all the matters and
things thus given them in charge, and they
shall have this power even If the whole or a
part of the charge be omitted.

The Explosion OF q Cartridge Creates
an Excitement.

Yesterday morning, about half past nine
O'Clock, considerable excitement was occa-
stoned in the neighborhood Of Barnard and
MeDonough streets by 5 loud report.
Investigation revealed the fact that the
noise was caused By the explosion Of 3
cartridge. Il seems that young Mr.. Nc
AIpin was arranging some things In his
room at his residence, corner Of Barnard
and MeDOnOugh streets, aud threw out OF
the window a lot Of small articles among
which were q couple of cartridge shells Of q
8 shotgun, which he presumed were emf ".
One Of them proved to be loaded, however,
and as It struck the pavement it exploded.
Il Is not known IN what direction the ball
went, but the suppOsitiOn Is It took sn up
ward flight, as there were no evidences OF It
having struck anywhere.
