YOUNG FLEMING's STORY.

lie Denies that lie Was Kidnapped and
Carried OF on SloOp.
j. J. Carr and Paul wilkins had a
preliminary hearing before Justice
Molina yesterday evening, charged by
Mr.. John Fleming with kidnapping his
son, Edward A. Fleming. 1t appears that
young Fleming at the time of his disap-
pearance, about 10 days ago, full ac-
count of which was given in the NEWS,
went with Carr and Wilkins on small
,lOOp to Ossabaw Island to hunt otter,
and was with them until last Sunday.
When Mr.. Fleming learned this fact he
had the men arrested for kidnapping the
boy, the latter being under Is years old.
The penalty for carrying off boy under
that age is confinement in the peniten-
tiary.
At the trial young Fleming testified
that the men did nothing to induce him to
20 with them. He learned that they were
going and asked them to take him along,
and told them he was out of employment.
They advised him not to 20, but finally
consented. He staid with them until last
Sunday, when they came to White Bluff,
and then went ashore and walked to the
city.
Justice Molina, after hearing young
Fleming's evidence, dismissed the case.
II. K. Richards was counsel for Mr..
Fleming and j. J. Abrams for the defend

FIRE AT TYBEE.

The First Assistant Light House Keep
er's Reside nee Destroyed
Between > and 8 O'Clock yesterday al
tsrnoon the residence Of First Assistant
Light House Keeper, Peter Jacobs, at
Tybee, caught fire in the roof and was
totally DESTROYED, together with most OF the
furniture. The house was on the northeast
side OF the lighthouse yard, near anumOer
of other buildings. The tire,it IS supposed,
originated from some burning brushwood
about eighty wards from the house. \
fresh northeast wind was blowing ut the
time. and the sparks fell on the roof,
where they lodged under the shingles,
and were tanned into a flame. MIR.
Jacobs had been trimming the trees, and
set fire TO the thick brush, keeping the
limbs for wood. There was no one in the
house but Mr.. Jacobs little daughter,
his wife beng in the city. His daughter
was rescued and lodged in one of the
Keepers houses. The building was Of
brick and was owned by the government.
There was no insurance.

ANIMPRoBABLE STORY.

A Sailor Tramp Arrested in Pawn
broker shop While Trying to Dispose
of Valuable Relic.
Detective Kaufman arrested a sailor
giving the name Of William Flynn while
attempting to pawn valuable silver COB
let, supposed TO have been stolen, in
Muhlberg's pawnshOp yesterday morning.
The sailor entered the shop and told the
pawnbTOker that he was hard up for
money, and presented a massive silver
Goblet and wanted TO know how much he
could get on il. The goblet was of solid
silver, elegantly chased, and was in-
scribed "Charles Royal Harrison, born in
the city Of Port Royal July 10, 1876. d.
+. A." The broker suspected, from the
appearance of his customer and from the
unsatisfactory manner in which he an
swered the questions put to him, that
something was wrong. He sent tor the de-
iective and detained the sailor, under pre-
tense Of bargaining for the goblet, until be
arrived. The fellow said the goblet had
belonged to his aunt, and was gift from
The Governor of the island of Port Royal
10 his nephew, the first white child born
on the island. The child's name, he said,
was jeremiah Harrison, and the name
Charles Royal Harrison was wrong, the
inscription having Deen Incorrectly ci-
a,raved. lie said be had carried the COB
let with him to New York and Boston.
and thence to Savannah, where he arrived
about week ago on the City on Macon.
His story failed to satisfy the detective.
10 was a ridiculous fabrication on the face
OF il. so far as the giving Of the goblet
was concerned. He was taken to JUS
tice TysOn's office, but was DISCHARGED
on giving up the property. Detective
Kaufman has the goblet III his posses
sion. hoping to receive some information
Of its riEhttnl owner.
The officer is Of the opinion that other
property was stolen with the goblet, and
tnat if its owner can be found clue will
be obtained 10 a considerable theft. The
sailors story throughout was so imprOba-
hle that il was hard to put any reliance
in anything he said. Ae claimed to
have carried the goblet with
him since he left Port Royal,
at least four months ago, keeping it in his
pockets and concealed under his jack
ct so that he would not be suspected OF
having stolen it. He had no money and
mad been sleeping for the past week I'M
der the bluff. Being hard pressed he had
zone to the pawn shop to obtain loan on
