CONSTABLE JONES, CHASE.
A Negro Counter Thief Run Down with
the Doodle in His Pockets.

the Doodle in His Pockets.
People in the neighborhood of st. Ju-
liam and Barnard streets about 1880 p.
m. Yesterday were startled by a negro
rushing down Barnard street, swinging
No. IS shoe about five feet every jump,
and cIawing the air wildly with his hands
TO accelerate his speed. There was wild
look in his eyes. and he was minus part
Of his coat-tail. Constable Jones and
Policeman Dunham were in hot pursuit,
and a dozen citizens were bringing up the
rear to be in at the finish.
The negro shot down Barnard
street TO Bay with the officer close
after him. AS be rushed across
Bay street citizen, who witnessed the
flight, said he thought a streak of mid
night had been lingering with the boys
and was trying to catch up with the night
before. The officers were doing their level
hest. and were so close upon the fleeing
negro when he reached the neighbOrhOOd
# Haywood, Gage X CO.'S ice house, that
he determined TO play fox on them by
making a quick turn and letting them go
past before they could slacken their
speed. The trick worked, and the negro
took refuge under a platform, hoping TO
avoid arrest. He was quickly hauled out
duu tdhen AuAu NuotouAs DSlnAc justice
T. J. Sheftan the following facts We're de-
VelOped:
The negro's name is Geo. Hoist. A few
minutes before mis- arrest he went into the
store OF Ravelsky Il Luckman, at Barnard
and st. Julian streets, and while pretend
ing to be examining some shoes, picked
up pair and slipped them under his
coat and started to go cut. Mr.. Ravelsky
saw the theft, and as Hoist started to
leave the store, caught him bv the coat
and called upon Constable Jones, with
Justice Sheftall next door, to arrest him.
The negro saw the officer coming and tore
himself loose from MIR. RaVelsky, leaving
a portion of his coat-tail in the latter's
hands. The chase to Bay street was the
second act of the performance. Justice
Sheftall committed Hoist for the action of
the grand jury, and the curtain fell at the
iail door

sion in the Superior Court.

Going for the GambIers-A Lively Ses-
sion in the Superior Court.
At the meeting of the Superior Court
yesterday the case of Thomas a. Enright,
charged with misdemeanOr, was called
for trial. A physicians certificate was
submitted showing that the defendant
was unable, from illness. to be present in
the court. The accused was under bond
to appear and it was suggested that the
bond be estreated. In view of the defen-
dani's illness the case was ordered
reassigned for trial during the term.
The case of the State against Ii. A.
Pacetti, charged with mIsdemeanor, was
then tried The defendant was one of a
number who were indicted by the grand
jury during the present term for
gambling. The defense introduced evil
dence to show that he was an employe in
a gambling room, and hence was not sub
iect to the penalty prescribed as a
punishment for those who keep gambling
tables. The law, however, prohibits any
one from aiding or abetting in the otfense,
and the jury returned a verdict of guilty
and recommended the prisoner to the
extreme mercy of the court. He was
sentenced to pay fine of $3.50, or to be
imprisoned 80 days.
Among other business considered was
the motion for an injunction and the APP
pointment of a receiver made by the At
torney of Hermann NJ. Myers and others
in the case against Henry Miller and
other defendants. The argument on the
motion was heard in part, when the
court adjourned until this morning.

Habeas Corpus Writ and Disappears.

lie is Released from Custody Under n
Habeas Corpus Writ and Disappears.
Charles 4. Roles, eX-Postmaster of
Camilla, Mitchell county, an account Of
whose arrest on the charge of being de-
faulter was given in yesterdays News,
was discharged from the custody Of
Deputy Marshal Mcneil on Tuesday by
Judge Seattle of the Mitchell County
Court.
District Attorney Darnell, who went to
Camilla to look after the interests of the
government in the case, returned yester-
daV morning, and made a complete state
ment to NEWS reporter regarding it.
Some time last month he received
information from Post Office Inspector
Metcalf that Roles was defaulter In his
money order account in the sum OF
S547 -. Afterwards one OF Roles, securl-
ties went before United States Commits
sioner ). NJ. Griffin, at Quitman, and had
a warrant issued for Roles arrest,
charging him with embezZlement. The
warrant was sent to Marshal Wade, who
deputized w. A. Mcneil, Sheriff Of
Brooks county, to serve it. The Sheriff
went to Camilla Monday and placed
Roles under arrest, but had to wait with
his prisoner until evening for the train.
During the day Roles managed to es-
cape, but was captured after
chase of half mile. Several
men who appeared to be drinking during
the day, became very demonstratiye, and
swore they were going to rescue Roles,
and that they would not permit the Off
Ger to take him away. Mcneil finally
took his prisoner to the depot to wait tor
the train, where he was followed by three
men, who threatened to take Roles away
from him. While at the depot a writ of
habeas corpus, issued by Judge Seattle OF
the County Court, was served on the
Sheriff, vino after telegraphing Mr.. Oar
nell. took mis- prisoner before the Judge,
and made his answer TO the writ, and
had the case continued until tuesday
morning.
Mr.. Darnell started for Camilla Monday
evening, but when he arrived Tuesday
morning, about 8 O'Clock, the case had
been heard, and Roles had been discharged
from the custody of Mcneil and had dis
appeared. Mr.. Darnell learned that the
writ of habeaS corpus had been sustained
on the ground that it did not appear that
Mcneil was a deputy marshal and be-
cause of alleged defects in the warrant.
While there a proposition was made Mr..
Darnell by Roles attorney to settle the
defalcation. and the money was finally
paid over to the present Postmaster of
Camilla.
Mr.. Dsrnen says that in the discharge
Of his duty he intends to see that the law
is enforced. and particularly against
those persons who threatened Deputy
Marshal Mcneil and interfered with him
in the discharge Ofhis duty. Judge Seattle,
he believes, had no jurisdiction IN the
case, and the habeas corpus proceedings
were Illegal.

Editor Morning NetcS; One Of the best
proofs of the authority of the Bible as
divine revelation is that when science
appears TO contradict its teachings some
new discovery, tradition or hypothesis
meets the objection. In other words, in
every advance we make in knowledge the
corresponding expansion of the human
mind opens to 1t a deeper insight into
Bible teaching.
In your issue of this day, Feb. Is, 1885,
| md the following extract under the
head Of Items Of INTEREST,"
4 recent writer eNplodes the theory that
the human race Is $4,000 years old by showing
that when the present population of the
world, l,4O0. goo. 900, is taken. the known ratio
Of increase h2ured backwards therefrom and
the loss from pestilence and wars taken into
account. il will readily be found that even
the Genesis figure of 5000 years is entirely
beyond the correct age of the human family.
-Four thousand four hundred years he puts
down as the more prob able time since Adam
first saw light IN the Garden OF Eden.
Now about the Beneficial date of 5000
years existence Of the human race:
Adam is placed 1904 years before
Christ; the deluge 2,34S b. &, or 1856
after Adam. 4,004 b. =. ><lSS5 A. C.-5SS9,
the Bible estimate of the life of the Adamic
race. From 1859 take 1855 and we have
3,2S4; and from 6 900 we find the time since
Noah to be 4,445 years. only - more than
ihe writer assumes to be the age of the
present race of men. His error is in con-
founding the Adamic race with its con-
tinuance through Noah, of whom, it is
said, he alone was perfect in all his gen.
cratiOns," among the mixed race of the
sons of God and daughters of men, whose
wlckedness brought on the deluge. His
family, coming out of the Ark, consisted
Of eight people.
But this does not to me, explode the
theory that the human race is $4,000
years old, for being devOut believer in
the inspiration of the Bible from studying
it for fifty years in the light of geological,
astronomical, archaeological and geo.
graphical discoveries, l am satisfied that
the sixth days man was an animal
merely, the GROWING work Of creation
or making out of nothing, leaving for the
seventh days work the inspiration of the
sOul-lite-the day in which we live.
In this view the Bible appears to me
to be as clear as light! First, as Revela-
ton; second, as Archaeology; third, as
History; fourth. as Geology; fifth, as
Prophecy; sixth, as Poetry; seventh, as
Political Wisdom; eighth, as Doctrine;
ninth, as Prophesy moved by authentic
history through symbolic language. Be-
ginning with Genesis it ends in the apo
calyptic vision, at our own times, when
the three frogs" issuing from the mouths
of TIE dragon, the beast and the false
prophet are leaping wild over the earth.
We can go no further nOlC, but can wait.

The Volpini was chartered to load with

Her sails and tackle were all that could

The City Court.

The attention of the City Court was &C.
cupied until late hour last night in the
trial OF the case of Sigmund Elsinger,
administrator, against Mrs. G. Beatty.
In 1888 Mrs. +. Laughlin died in this city,
and Mr.. II. J. ThOmassOn administered
upon her estate. After the administra-
ton had terminated and the affairs
of the estate had apparently been
wound up, it was discovered that
the deceased owned a Savannah,
Florida and W estern Railway bond
valued at s, 1000 and that the bond was in
the possession of the defendant in this
case. Mr.. Thomasson was requested by
Mr.. Elsinger to again apply for letters OF
administration, but he declined. Mr.. FL
singer then took out letters of admInistra-
ton and brought suit for the recovery of
the bond and some personal property OF
minor value. The taking of testimony
was concluded last night, when the court
took a recess until this morning.

Heaven gave his spirit when the child was
born;
Earth framed him in q form Of mortal mould;
Richer gift he was than mines OF solo,
Retfer than ali the gems by monarchs worn,
Each year he grew in favor, and each morn
Raised hopes with which parental eyes behold
Their first-born son his mind and heart un-
fold.
Why was that GIFT in early manhood torn
Painting to longer liYe-why torn by death
Away from loving and beloved friendsy
Life being sweet, why was he doomed to dies
Mysterious fate TO sense, but spirit satin
Eternal love oft borrows what 1t lends;
Resign the gift and wait the reason why.
