Excitement Over a Prohibition
Election In Georgia.

hnLEDGEvILLE, GA, March 26.-An
election on prohibition occurred in
this city and county yesterday, in
which anti.pvohibitionists put the
most ballots in the boxes. Gross
frauds are alleged, and the con'cstsiu
the courts will probably result in favor
of the prohibitionis's.
In the parade Of the negroes II. L
Kruetz, a barkeeper, acted as general,
and rode up and dowE the line, giving
the commando, and made incendisry
remarks to his African allies. This
made the white citizens indignant.
Last night, while 10 state OF intoxi-
cation, Kreuiz instructed the negroes
in case the white ladies should say
anything 10 them about prohibition to
grossly insult them.
This morning, when IL was found
that Kreutz had said this, a committee
of citizens went to see him, and in
structed him to leave the county inn
medistely. He left about IL o'clock.
He would certainly have been lynched
had he remained. His best friends
proposed TO hang him. Certain other
anti-speakers, who have been dealing
out incendiarism TO the negroes, have
been asked TO keep their mouths
closed.
Last night after the instructions OF
Kreutz a negro went TO q lsdy's house
and asked her, in an insulting man
ner, il she wanted to talk prohibition.
The lady closed the door in his face.
II the negro is found he will be
whipped. There is great excitement
and indignation.

ROBBED HIS EMPLOYER.
LINDEMAN'S COOK CAPTURES
ABOUT $500,
And Is Captured in Turn - The
Money Recovered Good Work
Of the Police.

The discovery OF the robber Of Mr..
Henry Lin6eman's safe Yesterday by
Officer w. o. Hediick, and the return
OF the large sum stolen to the owue-
before he had fully realized his loss,
offers another prof OF the efficiency
of that excellent official, and a ids an
other claim to the long htt he has
upon his superio,s. Early in the
morning negro man named John
Gates, employed as a cook at Linde-
a aus saloon and lodging-house on
Washington street, called at the Sta
ton House and reported that Mr..
Lindeman had been robbed. Officer
Hedrick at once accompanied
him back to the Lindemau's
and began his investigation. Mr..
Lindeman told him he had been
aroused a short time before by a vic
lent ringing of his door bell and when
he got out of bed found Gates stand
ing at the foot of the stairs. Gates
sskt d him if he had been down. aud
receiving an answer in the negative
informed him that the front door of
his saloon was open. He did not wait
to dress, but went down as he VIZ S, Mr..
Liudeman said, and found his saloon
open and his safe robbed of about
$500. He put that sum Of money in
the safe the night before, and locked
the inside doors, but did rot turn of
the combination. Hedrick took Mr..
Lindeman one side and questioned
him about Gates, whom he suspected
from the fist. Mr.. Lindeman said
the night before was Cates's night off
that he left the place at O'Clock and
could not have gained an en-
trance into the saloon without passing
through the front door. He did not
think it possible that Cotes could be
guilty, though he said he had lost the
keys to the inside doors OF his cafe
two years ago, and had frequently
missed small sums from the safe
drawer. Hedrick waited to hear no
more, but at once took Gates in charge
and began a search of the pre- misses.
In cigar box behind an old sofa in
Oates bedroom, which he occupied in
common with another employer, the
missing money was found. Money and
man we're taken to the Station-House,
a charge of drunkenness was entered
against Gates on the docket, his con-
dition being such as to justify it, but
when his pockets were searched the
missing key to Mr.. Lindeman's safe
WIS found in his pocket, and a charge
Of HOUSEKEEPING al d larceny was en-
tered against him on the docket
Gates was stubborn, and for several
hours continued TO assert his iuno-
cence. In the after noon, how.
ever, he weakened, and, as usual
in the case of weak criminals, tried
TO drag his room mate down with him
by swearing that when he got the
none he handed it to him, Just TAX
ing out Sl5, aud that he put it under
his pillow. The officers are inclined
TO believe that if there had been two
concerned they would have divided
the spoils On the spot. Gates declared
it was their intention to leave for Chi
csOo on the O'Clock train on the
Chesapeake road. He has been in
Lindeman's employ about 10 ur years.

tract has been awarded to Michael
