POLICEMAN REID DEAD.
One Of the Oldest Members of the
Force Drops Dead.

Force Drops Dead.
Michael Reid, the Oldest member of the
police force, died suddenly of apoplexy at
his residence, No. 49, East Broad street, at
about 1920 O'Clock last night. Mr.. Reid
was on duty yesterday afternoon and went
off at o'clock in his usual health and in
good spirits. He met quite a numbar of
friends on his way home, with whom he
exchanged friendly greetings, and when he
reached home he was in cheerful mood
1t was his custom TO engage in prayer be-
fore leaving home for the night, and when
last seen in life by one of his sons he was
praying. Very shortly after he was heard
TO fall, and on going to his room on the
second floor he was found lying about the
middle OF the floor unconscious and with a
rigidity of the neck and head DR.. Stone,
whose residence is but three blocks distant.
was hastily summoned. The patient sur
vived the physicians arrival only two or
three minutes, dying without coming out of
the comatoSe condition in which he was
found.
DIR. Stone said that it was a we'll pro-
nounced case of apoplexy. and that one of
the larger blood vessels of the brain
had undoubtedly been ruptured. The
doctor said that he has known
the deceased well and intimately,
tuu tHdb LOT tWeuJy-SlX years no TO the
time Officer Reilly was promoted to q
sergeantcy, Mr.. Reid had never missed a
tour of duty. Lieut.. Green, chief of police,
who was in the ROOM added that Officer
Reid had never missed tour of duty since.
and that he was one of the most faithful
men on the force, having served as a
mounted policeman before the war, and the
records OF the police department, which
date back to 1865, show that Mr. Reids ser
vice had been continuous since that time.
The deceased was the father of Alderman
w. f. Reid, and was native of Ireland.
He was a man of scholastic attainment,
understanding Greek aud Latin, and was
modest, retiring and unass lming but faith
full and fearless in the disc arge of every
duty. He was about Us or 90 years of age,
and leaves a wife, five sons and two
daughters.
1t was very painful scene around the
lifeless form-an affectionate and indulgent
father. The first knowledge Alderman Reid
had of the family affection was when he was
summoned at IL O'clock to his parental
home. The time of the funeral has not
been determined, but will be announced to-
morrow. AT the police station the in
telgence of Mr. Reid's death was
great shock, and when the midnight
relief went out they spoke in whispers
and reverently of a man whom they all
loved, and who was without au enemy
among his acquaintance.

DIvULGED PRRMATURELY.
A Three-cornered Fight Over q Stolen
and Recovered Watch.

Detective Wetherhorn had Frank Hamil-
ton tcolored arrested and lodged in jail on
Sunday night for the alleged larceny Of A.
c. Craig's watch, Constable Nathan max
ing the arrest. Hamilton was seen yester-
day and denies having stolen the watch.
he claims that he found it. On the eve OF
Detective Wetherhorn's last trip to Canada,
the detective learned that Hamilton had the
watch, and meeting him Hamilton said that
he had found tie watch, and turned it over
to Wetherhorn. Justice Molina was then
taking decided interest i'll obtaining evil
dence in the Morse case, and the evening
before the final papers were fixed
up, Wethernorn, who had just re-
ceived the watch from Hamilton, turned
IL over TO Justice Molina, saying that he be-
ieved 1t was stolen watch, and 10 keep a
lookout for the owner. and IL any reward
was offered to get it. Mr. Wetherhorn at
the time suspected that It was Craigs
watch, but tie delays in the Morse matter
prevented HIM from pushing his investiga-
work the case, and Mr.. Wetherhorn hur-
ried off to Canada.
When the reward was offered, there was
nothing said about the identity of the thief,
and when Mr.. Molina was approached by
Mr.. Craig, not knowing the plans Of the de-
tective, whether they had so far ripened
as to make public from whom he obtained
the watch, he declined to give the name,
although he turned over the
watch to its owner. 1t was then
that Mr.. Craig refused to pay the
reward without the name of the party from
whom the watch was obtained was given.
This Mr.. Molina declined to give and turn
ing over the watch reported to Detective
Wetherhorn the attitude of the watch
owner Mr.. Wetherhorn had only arrived
from Canada that morning, worn out with
the Canadian trip, but, he said, that while he
would have liked to have had more time to
work the case and find the rest of the plum
der, he could soon run down the negro who
had turned up the watch, and while he was
not satisfied that he could get evidence to
convict the fellow, as long as his plans had
been disarranged, and reflections cast upon
Molina, he would have the man locked up
from whom he had obtained the watch.
He was unable to find him Saturday night,
but ran him down Sunday.
Detective WetherhOrn says that it was
not u matter OF reward with him. He has
been harrassed in more than one direction,
and ho wanted 10 show the public that he
could do a neat piece of work on short
notice, and if he had been allowed days
rest after his return home he might have
done better, but Mr.. Craig's hasty action,
and the reflections cast against Justice
Molina, compelled him to show his hand
before he was ready Hence he was on the
qui vive and had Constable Nathans on the
lookout and the thief arrested

ON RAIL AND OroSSTIM
Local and General Gossip in Railway
Circles.

The rumor is prevalent among railroad
mon that there have been recent discharges
OF railroad employees of the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway suspected of
crookedness. An Inquiry yesterday at the
depot did not result in any definite data
further than that there had been some re-
cent discharges, but no one was found who
would assign the causes or deny or affirm
the truthfulness OF the rlmor.
The Pennsylvania railroad has become so
infested with tramps between the cities Of
New York and Philadelphia that it has
been decided to put a number Of detectives
along the line to exterminate them. 1t is
stated that there are between 900 and /, 500
tramps along the line of the road between
the two cities named, and the road is greatly
annoyed and suffers not a little loss by petty
thefts and other depredations committed by
them.
The construction of the Mexican national
railway, Capt. RaouPs road, is being rapidly
pushed. The track has been completed 100
miles beyond Saltillo and it is now stated
that the last rail will be laid by Aug. Is,

An Excellent Performance at the
Theater Last Night.

An Excellent Performance at the
Theater Last Night
'rhe play Of Leah, the Forsaken" at the
theater last night had in it many of the
popular elements of success. The scenes
are stirring, the climaxes good, and the
star, Miss Ida Sollee, is an able exponent of
emotional drama. In the second act her
abrupt shifts from pathos TO humor were
highly appreciated by the audience.
Curtain calls followed each scene
and Miss Sollee received many bouquets
of flowers. Throughout the entire
performance she presented the pas
siouately loving and handsome Leah, !"
a fine type Of Hebrew maiden. She WINS
exceptionally strong in the last act, when
she declared her love and forgiveness to
Rudolph" through his little child.
The supporting cast was in the main very
good, special word Of praise being due to
Mr. Julian Greer, who assumed the role Of
"Rudolph," and who was most impressive
and intelligent in his acting throughout.
Miss Daisye Sollee acted the part of Mad
alma extremely well. Mr. Joseph Doyle. in
a splendid makeup. gave a remarkably
good picture OF Nathan" an apostate Jew.
The other important parts were sustained
by Mr.. William Dalton as "Lorenz,n Mr..
William Mcleod as Father Herman" Mr..
William Fleming as Ludwig" Miss
DeLand as an other Groschen," Miss Mollie
Howard as SARAH" Miss Cecile Rossignol

An Enraged Brother Ri-Law's Assault
Upon Emanuel Mavromatt

AL EHraBeQ brotref~ Hd-LawS ASSaQlt
Upon Emanuel Mavromatt
Lee Gould, a Blacksmith in the employ
of the Savannah, Florida and Western
railroad. was arrested yesterday by Con-
stable Wetherhorn upon the affidavit Of
Goulds brother-inIaw, Emanuel Msvro-
matt, an Italian who is laborer at the Sa-
vannah, Florida aud Western yards, charg-
ing Gould with assault with intent to
murder
The assault took place near the residence
OF Mr.. Gould's isarents on the Little Ogac-
chez, twelve miles from Savannah ard near
the Bethel Baptist church, and grew out of
the marital rifelicity between Mavrumatt
and his wife,
1t appear, from the statement OF Gould,
that MavTo matt had been so unkind TO his
wlfe that sac had returned to the home of
her parents, taking with her their little girl
keoa, child OF A. years Mavromatt
was not lnterdictad from seeing the child.
but, in fact, had visited the residence Of the
grand arents Saturday night, where he
stald al night. He wanted the little girl to
steep With MIN, but his actions were sus-
plcions, and 1t was thought that he was
trying to abduct her and take her to
Itay. 1t il said that he slept
Win his clothes on Saturday night
Sunday, during church, and while little
fteoas mother was singing in the choir,
come children came running breath
lessly to the church and gave the infurma-
ton that Mavromatt had RebA under the
bank, aud she was struggling to get away
When Robert II. Gould and wife, the grand
parents, heard this they hurried to the
rescue, and after some difficulty got pos
session of the child and started
back. Lea Gould, uncle Of the child.
and Jake Ultuer a cousin OF Gould, jumped
into buggy as soon as they heard OF it and
hurried to the scene. By this time Mavro-
matt had got into his buggy with Jake
Kahn, another cousin Of Gould, and when
Lee Gould came up, he was so incensed at
his sisters wrongs, and the attempt at abduc-
ton, that he struck Mavromatt twice with
the butt endof his whip. Mavromatt Jumped
out and was pursued by Ulmer, but by this
time Gould had recovered from his passion
and called out to Ulmer to let him alone,
IL appears. however, that Timer cut him
slightly in the arm, and warrant has also
been sworn out against Ulmer.
Mr.. Lee Could in an interview with a
MORNING NEWS reporter in the office of
Justice Waring Russell, Jr., yesterday,
regretted his hasty action. In fact, he saws,
he realized after he struck the second blow
that he ought to have curbed his temper,
but he says the provocation was great: that
Mavromatt had not only scandalized his own
wife, drawn a knife on her, and otherwise
mlsused her, Tut had slandered Gould's wife.
The little girl, Reba, is great favoriie
with her grandparents, and the effort to
abduct her after the cruel treatment of the
mother, especially when it was feared the
father might take the girl to Italy, had a
rasping effect on all the Immediate relations
of the mother and her child

No News Received from Camden or
Tattnall Counties.
Camden and Tattnall counties were to
have elected congressional delegates yester-
day, but no reports as to how the delega.
lions stand were received last night.
Every effort was made to obtain the result
Of the conventions in both counties, but
owing to the distance from any telegraph
station nothing could be learned. A Bruins
wick special to the MORNING NEWS says:
Nothing definite can be learned here
from Camden, but there can be little doubt
of the county for Norwood"
Tattnall was doubtful county, and was
not very confidently counted upon by either
Gordon or Norwood, but it Is conceded to
be for one or the other of these candidates
Nichols has very little strength there.
The Jesup district in Wayne county
elected Gordon delegates yesterday to the
Wayre county convention, which will
be held on Saturday. A Jesup dispatch to
the MORNING NEWS says:
JEssUP, June 4th, 1888
At a mass meeting held here to-day Gordon
delegates were elected by vote of 43 to 40 A
great deal of interest prevailed.
Bryan will elect delegates to-day and
Capt. Gordon's friends are claiming the
