He WAS NOT A BURGLAR.
a Burglary Case in Which DR.. Nc
Glynns Nephew is a Witness.


The Office of Justice Thomas J. Sheftal
was the scene of an interesting preliminary
examination yesterday afternoon in which
the defendant in a burglary charge was dis
missed. In the early morning of Thursday
some one lowered the upper sash in the rear
of the premises of j. F. Mahonev on Bar
nard street, and entering forced the door
leading into the front room and got away
with liquors Of the alleged value Of 81 %
or 81.
MahOuey issued a warrant against
young German by the name of William b.
Ferguson, charging him with burglary, and
a number Of witnesses were brought up, the
prosecuting witness among the number, to
testify in the case. The defendant made
statement in which he denied any knowledge
Of or completely in the alleged theft. The
prosecuting witness stated that Thomas
McGlyun, who roomed in the same house
with Ferguson, had told him that Ferguson
admitted ILat he had entered the room and
got the-lquor
When Mr. McGlynn was wanted as
prosecuting witness, lie was not to be seen,
but he came up smiling for the defense.
McGlvnn is said to be a nephew Of DR..
McGlyun, of national fame, and as such
is worthy of a pen picture, although
it was taken at a time when he was not
posing for distinction. \ Young man of -
or thereabouts, blue-eyed, light auburn
hair, parted as straight as the crow lies,
low stature. He wore rather heavy gold
ring on the fourth finger Of his left hand,
and a gold horseshoe Ornamented black
cravat that concealed his shirt front. His
clothes were dark brown, and had seen
some wear As he kissed the Bible and
turned to face the Magistrate, a deep dim
pie came aud went in a chin devoid Of
hirsute appendage. This was nephew of
his uncle.
McGlynn stated that on the night of
March he went into Mahoney's place to get
a drink at the bar, and being refused he
made the remark that Ferguson had plenty
of whisky up stairs. He denied having told
Mahoney that Ferguson said he got through
the window and into the front room and
took whisky, and he had no knowledge
direct or indirect as to who was the Of
fender.
The prosecuting witness came forward
and said to Justice Sheftall, Il want to
bring charge against McGlynn for per
jury. He did tell me that Ferguson was
in my house and had taken the liquor"
He produced the negro porter of the house
who was a witness to the alleged converse
ton, and the frightened darkey, in half
audible way, but not under oath, began to
make statement, but it was interrupted
by the Justice who reclted the charge and
said: 1--WE don't convict men in Georgia on
suspicion. There is not a scintilla Of evil
dence against this young man connecting
him with the burglary, and l therefore
direct that he be DISCHARGED

The Georgia Company's Price Too
High for the Terminal People.

The Georgia Companys Price Too
High for the Terminal People.
The statement in the MORNING NEWS
New York dispatches yesterday that the
Richmond Terminal Company has been ne
Company and the Central railroad, did not
cause much of a stir here
1t has been an open secret for some time
that the Terminal people were seek
ing to get control of the Central,
but just how far the negotiations had gone
nobody seemed to know. 1t seems now that
they are off altogether.
President Alexander has been in New
York for a week, and of course could not
be seen. Maj. A. l.. Hartridge is a large
stocknolder in the Georgia Company
and he was asked in regard to the deal He
said that while the Terminal people
want to buy, they are not
willing to pay what the Georgia Company
wants for its stock The Georgia Company
stock is held by seven trustees, and the
minimum price at which it can be sold is
$50.
The Terminal people are not all
willing to pay that for it. Maj. Hartridge
said that, 50 far as he knows, there is
no new move on foot, and
as to there being any likelihood of the
Georgia Company going into the Terminals
hands, ne added: II would be hardly less
surprised at such deal than | would at the
Terminals going into the hands of the
Georgia Company"
DO you think there is any likelihood of
thatin
mo, do not.
When asked what he meant by saying
that not all Of the Terminal people were will
ing to pay the Georgia Company's price
for its stock, he said that he understood
that some of the Terminal party were will
ing TO pay the minimum
"How about Mr. Sullyp
II do not think that he would object to
the purchase" was tie reply.
Gen. Alexander will leave New York to-
night and will be here Monday. Mr.
Sully was expected here the first of next
week on his wav north from Florida, but
he is sick at st. Augustine and will not be
able to travel for some days.

WEST FLORIDA's BOOM.
What Pensacola's Mayor Says About
It-Settlers Flocking There.

Col. w. d. Chipley, Vice President of
the Pensacola and Atlantic railroad and
Mayor Of the provisional municipality of
Pensacola, was in the city last night, stop
ping at the Pulaski House. Col. Chipley
denied that there is any railroad signifi-
canoe in his visit.
He spoke in very complimentary terms of
the MORNING NEWS in its kindly mention
of the approaching regatta, which is TO be
to Pensacola what the Jasper Festival was
To Savannah. He says that West Florida
is attracting its share of immigration, and
the tourist still finds the healthful climate
and beautiful bay, with the historic sur
rOundings of the old Spanish city sufficient
inducements to attract increased numbers
year by year, while DeFuniak serves to
receive the overflow
Col. Chipley is very enthusiastic over the
future of Pensacola and West Florida, and
no man, or dozen men. have done as much
as he to develop the resources of West
Florida and bring that section of the State
to the attention of the thrifty class that is
building up towns and cities and bringing
the virgin lands into a state of the highest
fertility Col. Chipley will leave on the
early train over the Savannah, Florida and
Western road this morning on his return
home

THE DOLLAR WOMAN.
She Takes In the Charitable People
of the Town.

one 1dkeS III Jne OndTlIdDlo H6Ople
of the Town.
The charitable people of the town who
are always ready to help those in distress
believe they have been greatly imposed
upon during the last two or three months
by woman who has been going about tell
ing a tale of distress calculated to bring
tears to sympathetic eyes, and who is
always insisting that she is in need of only
a dollar to make up a sum Suffic emit to get
back to Augusta, where she has friends who
are ready and willing to provide for her.
A good many people have been found who
have given this woman a dollar with the
expectation that she would start for
Augusta at once, and that they would hear
no more of her She has been about three
months starting, but from al accounts has
never started. She finds the dollars too plen
tifu here Some charitable ladies have tried
TO discover her place of abode, but without
success She appears to have no settled
abiding place. Doubtless She doesn't care
for visitors
The little story she tells for a dollar is
varied from time TO time, but it has
all the qualities of a genuine drama of
the tear-drawing kind, and from all accounts
it has drawn tears as well as dollars. Good
people whose hands wander toward their
pockets when they hear tales of distress
will do well TO keep a lookout for her.
There is no occasion for other kind of
people 10 bother about her.
