CAUGHT IN THE ACT.

A Newspaper Thief Trapped at His
WOrk-How the Public ia Robbed of
the News.
There is nothing more annoying to the
average citizen than not getting his morn
ing's paper. 1t is equally annoying to the
newspaper publisher to know that after
all his efforts to supply the news of the
day to those who pay for it, petty thief
steps in and appropriates the anxiously
looked for sheet. Yesterday morning a
clerk in a Bay street Office where the
MORNING NEWS had failed to appear de-
termined to discover the cause. He went
early to the office before the carrier made
his rounds, and awaited develop
ments. Sitting behind the closed door,
he saw the paper pushed under
and at once took it away, substituting in
its place another paper. A few minutes
after long knife was slipped under the
door and the paper pulled out. This
solved the problem where it went to, and
rushing out he caught the thief, who
proved to be a negro newsboy. He at
tempted to arrest him but the rascal de-
Tended himself and made good his escape.
He left his hat, which led to his arrest and
Identification. He proved to be Thomas
Thomas. He was taken before Magistrate
Waring Russell, Jr., and committed to
jail to await trial.

THE WORLDS FAIR.

The Board of Trade-Industries to be
Representations the Display Will
be Made.
The general committee of the Board of
Trade, recently appointed to consider the
adyisability of an exhibit of the interests
represented by its various industries at
the New Orleans Exposition, met
yesterday at the Board of Trade rooms,
and the subcommittee, to which the mat
ter was referred, submitted its report.
The only branches of trade represented
in the board which expressed any desire
to make exhibits were the lumber, rice
and naval stores departments. As several
individuals and firms had already decided
to make private exhibits the committee
suggested that the matter be left entirely
to private enterprise, inasmuch as a
laudable competition would be likely to
be excited and a much fuller and hand
somer display would be made, than IL the
board undertook it officially. In order,
however, to diminish the expense to
the exhibitors and to give the
exhibit the prestige and influence
of the organization the committee
suggested that the board take charge
of any exhibit its members might be de-
sirOus of making, defray the expense Of
transportation to New Orleans and back,
and any further expense that might be in
Cured in placing the exhibit to such adj
vantage as to invite the attention of Yisi-
tors. The committee also suggested that
a special committee of three be appointed
by the President of the board to raise by
subscription such sum as might be nee
essary to carry out the recommendations
it had made.

The Ocean Steamship Company Adds a
New Vessel to the New York Line.
The Ocean Steamship Company, with
its fleet of magnificent vessels, has just
added to its New York line another vessel,
and will continue its present service with
even greater facility than it has hereto
fore. The schedule for the past four
months to New York has been tri-weekly,
with four steamers, sailing from Savan-
nah on Sundays, Tuesdays and Fridays,
and from New York on Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays. 1t has
been accomplished with remark
able regularity and precision. without
the break even of a single tide. The
steamship City of Savannah, heretofore
plying on the Philadelphia line, has been
completely Overhauled and renovated,
newly upholstered, and many new con-
yenIences added. She will take her place
on the New York line as the fifth regular
ship, and will sail from New York on her

sailings quite equal to the daily rail
service, to continue to be worthy Of
the patronage it has so long enjoyed. The
