JACK ON A LARK.
He Picks Up a Mail Wagon and
Takes a Turn About Town.


A little before o'clock last night the
mail wagon was stolen from Bay street
lane in the rear Of the post office. The
driver left his horse standing in the lane
by the platform from which the bags are
loaded into the wagon, and went into the
post Office. Fifteen or twenty minutes
later when the mail was made up and
ready 10 20 the driver went out to help
load il. Neither horse nor wagon was TO
be seen, and no one on the street had
seen the team.
Very little time was left to catch the
train, and hurried search WAS made up
and down the lane and along Drayton, Bay
and neighboring streets. There was no
time to lose, and a messenger was sent to
livery stable for another horse ana
wagon. Just then team turned north
into Drayton street around Christ church.
The horse was travelling as If it only had
two minutes to reach "a mail train a mile
Oft.
Jerry Sullivan. the janitor of the post
Office building, heard the wagon rafting
over the stones, and, as the driver turned
into the Bay, Mr.. Sullivan tried To
head him of. The round janitor,
however, cannot run quite as fast
as mail wagon steed. Some persons
VINO were on the street took in the situa-
tion aud got in front of the horse. The
driver turred his team around quickly
and started back, but the horses head
was seized by Mr.. Sullivan. the next
minute the driver was pulled out on the
ground and asked for an explanation.
Some whispered that he was cowboy
from the indian show, and one or two
timid parties backed off so as not TO be IN
the way Of the bullets ia case the highway
man should attempt 10 puGcture his cap
tors. Much to the surprise of all, the
prisoner. instead of defying the whole
crowd, declared that they were his
friends, and he hoped they would not
think hard of him for borrowing the
wagon and taking drive. He said that
he was passing along DraytOn street and
saw the horse standing in the lane and no
one watching.
The man iIpplored to be let so and not
handed over to the police. He was ques-
toned closely and proved to be drunk.
Alter being detained FOR few minutes
he was lei go, and he started off on run.
lie did not say who he was, but he was
believed to be a sailor.

EVIDENCE AGAINST FRAZER.
No Doubt That He is the Slayer of
Richardson.

No Doubt That He is the Slayer of
Richardson.
The county authorities stated last night
that they had found plenty of evidence
during the day TO prove that Henry Bryan
alias SIah Brown ID Sykes Frazer, the
murderer of John Richardson. The evil
dence did not appear hard to get, as some
OF the TRUSTEES about the jail recognized
Bryan, and declared positively that they
knew him at the time of the murder and
that he then called himself Frazer. For
himself Frazer says nothing. 1t is al
legged that some officials have known of
Frazer's presence in the city for SIX
months, and one county official stated yes
terday that be knew three or four years
ago where Frazer was in South Carolina,
but would not bother about getting him
because the county would not pay the ex-
DeuSe.

A special dispatch 10 the NEWS from
Macon says that United States Marshal
Wade was seen yesterday and questioned
in regard TO his dismissal. He said there
were no circumstances connected with 1t
of public interest beyond the fact that he
WAS suspended aud had not resigned The
Office. His manner was brief and he
seemed dislnclined TO talk about il. and
when be said that he had been expecting
1t for the past year, there was just a faint
suspicion Of soreness in his manner.
ltwas reported here some months ago
that Marshal Wade had written resig-
nation and placed ii in the hands oil a
friend. Indications then pointed 10 Col.
L. NJ. Lamar, Of Hawkinsville, obtaining
the place, but there were other applicants
for the position. Current rumor had 1t nj
that time that Lamar should succeed him

The Columbus anu Florida Road.

The Lumpkin independent has the fol-
lowing to say of the Columbus and Flori-
da: "The prospect for building railroad
from Columbus to Florida is again being
agitated, and is attracting more than
usual attention. Several prominent citi-
zens of COlum bus have procured char
ter and subscribed So, 600 for having the
surveys made. An engineer corps has
been secured, and was TO have left Co.
lumbus one day this week. Two lines
will be surveyed; one running from
Columbus to Albany, and the other
TO the Georgia line in the direction of Tai
lahassee." In speaking of the Importance
Of this new road to Columbus, Mr.. G..
Gunby Jordan says: 1.-The Buena Vista
railroad Is hurting us. The Americas,
Preston and Lumpkin has almost actually
come to our warehouse doors and takes
our cotton away from Us. The Pensacola
and Atlantic took part of our trade.
Yes, we are being damaged ana must get
our rIghtful trade back. The citizens of
Cuthbert and cambridge are becoming
interested in the matter and will en-
deavor to secure the southern connec-

A new "Ad" from the popular Dry
Goods House of David Weisbein appears
in this issue. His announcement is well
worth careful reading. lie offers such
bargains as must induce everybody to give
him a call. His stock this season is far
superior in real choice goods than he has
carried heretofore, and yet be claims that
his prices are much lower. Such enter
prise as this deserves the popular sup
port to its fullest degree, ana therefore
we believe that his store will be thronged
with customers.

Rock ISLAND, April ).
The interest manifested By d certain
party in this ward, whom we shall call
Jeremiah, caused us to ponder deeply on
the cause. Not being able to arrive at
any satisfactory reason, We consulted
those likely to know. and our curiosity
has been gratided. Knowing that there
are Others in the same frame of mind as
we were, we will try to set forth the rea-
sons for the sudden political enthusiasm
of Jerry.
1t has come to light that the big
headed politician" of the Fifth las Ger
tain clergyman in the lower end of the
city styles Aid. c. has had the manlaess
lin company with three other gentlemen)
TO tell this clergyman that they did not
approve Of many Of his WAYS, religiously
speaking. For this capital offense' this
same clergyman is said to have decreed
that the alderman from the Fifth must
have his political head decapitated forth>
with. Therefore ''council of war was
convened, at which appeared the afore-
mentioned Jeremiah and his dictator
As the latter did not wish to be openly
identified in the case, Jeremiah was ap-
pointed to fire the balls made behind the
scenes (as 1t were). The republicans ad-
lourned without nominating an alderman
and fearing that Mr. c. was to have very
little opposition, jeremiah proceeded IN
all haste to the chairman Of the republic
can committee and commanded that an.
other meeting be called. stating as his
reason that G. has insulted our priest.
The Catholics of the Fifth must not vote
for him. He must be beateni
The republicans held their meeting,
whether in response to Jerry's command
or not, we not know and all who were
not republicans were invited to go
out. But few remained TO see
how well Jerry would carry on his
good work. Mr. Ferguson being nomi-
mated, 1--WE are told by one of those who
did not respond to the invitation to leave
declined. Thereupon be was taken aside
by Jerry, and prevailed upon to accept.
These are observations made by locker
on; one not personally interested, but
who hopes to help return man to the
council of this city, who has won the re,
spect of all who know him, whether as a
politi ian or citizen. And now in re-
gard to the insult offered As we said,
Mr.. c., in company with three others.
called upon the clergyman aforesaid, and
expressed their views in regard to his
management of affairs. Belonging to
this same congregation. we honestly be-
lieve that Mr.. c. and his companions but
spoke the sentiments of the majority of
the people of the parish. While We 60
not wish to drag religion into politics, We
have been forced to do so in order to ex>
plain the so-called insult. If the support
ers of Alderman c. show the same stsm>
ina on Tuesday that shey have shown be-
fore when he was their candidate, be will
be returned to the council by good ma
jority. Whether he be returned or not,

The league meeting at Turner hsll last
evening was very largely attended and
the programme proved unusually inter
esting. The debate on the question
Resolved that the press wields greater
influence than the pulpit, was supported
by Messrs. Fred B. Sharon and William
Kesrney on the Affirmative, and Francis
Huot and John Ryan, sill of Davenport
on the negative. Tine judges were Messrs
W. J. Ransom, Thomas Thor nton and
John Mulqueen. After heated discus.
sion. in which both sides were ably and
eloquently presented, the decision was
rendered in favor of the affirmative.
The Smith family gave some of their
delightful music, vocal and instrumental
as did the Misses Brady. Grady and
Cary. The receipts OF the evening were
$3.50.
Aid. J. W. Cavsnsugh and Miss Mary
Moroney and Miss Ida Archer went over
to Davenport, and Miss Moroney gave
one of her fine selections before the
branch Of the league there, while Miss
Archer played and sang, and Mr.. Cavs-
naugh sang several of his stirring songs.
All were warmly applauded, and the
audience was not satisfied with letting
Mr.. Csvanaugh 90 until he had said he
had sung everything be knew.
