Tampa Journal: A mysterious and dis
treSSing affair was brought TO light on the
place owned aud occupied by Col +. G.
Thomas, about two miles west of the city,
on Sunday last. The facts of the case, as
near as can be ascertained. are about as fol
lows: Colonel Thomas and man
named Thompson, employed on the
formers place, were in the city on
Saturday, and started home late in
bHe AFTERNOON IN somewhat Huduled
condition. After reaching the house they
became engaged in quarrel, and ThOmp-
son got rope around Thomas neck and en-
deavored to hang his employer to an orange
tree, but from some cause not stated failed.
Thomas afterward ordered Thompson from
the place, which SO worked upon the latter's
feelings that he proceeded to get rid Of him
self IN the most approved style. Some days
previous he had purchased some arsenic or
-trychnlne to poison rabbits which were de-
stroying his garden, and taking the
bottle, an ordinary ounce affair, he
poured half the contents into glass
containing water, and drank it, max
ing the remark that he would soon be out
Of the way, and in fifteen or twenty min
utes was dead. Col. Thomas aftcrward,
lie firing TO take a seidlitz powder, used the
same glass for that purpose, and there be
ing some of the poison still in the glass he
was soon in a fair way to follow the other
The above is the substance of the iumbled
up statement of a negro woman on the
place and Col. Thomas At any rate, par
ties ON arriving at the house found the man
Thompson dead, and Thomas in a supposed
dying condition. The whole case, however,
bore a sufficient air of mystery to have JUS
titled strict and searching Investigation.

The Seven Cuticura Bows

Our little son will be fonr years of age on the
25th inst. In May, 1885, he was attacked with a
very painful breaking out of the skin. We called
in physician, who treated him for about four
weeks. The child received little or no good from
the treatment, as the breaking out, supposed by
the physician to be hives in an aggravated form,
became larger in blotches and more and more
distressing. We were frequently obliged to get
up in the night and rub him with soda in water,
strong liniments, etc. Finally, we called other
physicians until no less than six had attempted
to cure him, all alike failing, and the child
steadily getting worse and worse, until about
the Goth of last July, when we began to give him
CUTICURA REsoLvENT internally, and the CUTI-
cURA and CUTIcURA SOAP externally, and by the
last of August he was so nearly we'll that we
gave him only one dose of the REsoLvENr about
every second day for about ten days longer and
he has never been troubled since with the horri-
bic malady.

McGILLIS g. RUSTIN ROBBED.
A Broughton Street Furniture Firms
Safe Cracked.

a Broughton Street Furniture Firms
Safe Cracked.
McGillis g. Rustin, furniture dealers at
No. 1872 Broughton street, were robbed of
500 day or two ago. T. H. McGillis was
engaged In the Office until late at night, and
when he left the store everything was
securely fastened up. Toward 3 o'clock in
the morning a policeman discovered the
door open, and went to Mr. McGillis' resi-
dence and notified him of the discovery,
Mr.. McGillis went down to the store and
went through the building, but was unable
to discover anything misplaced. He could
not account though for the door being open.
as he was positive that he had fastened it
securely before leaving. After making a
thorough search Of the three floors, he fas-
tened the door again and went home.
When he came down to open the store
the next morning after breakfast, he
found the rear door, opening in
the lane, open. He made an
investigation and found that the safe had
been opened and 500 had been taken out.
Sixty dollars of the money was check, how
ever, and be ordered payment stopped, so
| that he will be loser only to the amount of
| about $40. There ere 500 in Mr.. McGillis'
possession that should have been placed in
the safe the night before, but day or two
before that the key to the safe was missing
and he had been unable to find it and could
not get into the safe until he could secure
another key.
The thief must have been thoroughly
familiar with everything in the store, and
Mr.. McGillis thinks that he had the kew to
the safe. The thief must have been hidden
in the cellar when the officers found the
doors open. The supposition is that the
thief entered the store by one of the open
iron doors leading into the cellar from the
lane. The door had been left open by some
workmen. Mr.. McGillis thinks that the
thief opened tho front door, and intended
when he had cleaned our the safe to go out
on Broughton street, but the officer fright
ened him and he hid in the cellar. De-
tectiYes are at work on the case

LOWER WHARFAGE RATES.

The Board of Trade Appoints Com
mittee to Confer with the Council.
At a meeting of the board of trade yes
terday afternoon the committee recently
appointed at a directors meeting to look
into the matter of wharfage rates sub
mitted report of its investigation, which
was read and adopted. In its report the
committee thoroughly urged revision of
the wharfage rates, which have not been
revised since 1929. The report goes on to
say that the exports from this port are
very much heavier now than at that time,
and that it is necessary to change the rates.
The wharfage charges on barrel Of rosin
are greater than on a bale of cotton,
while the latter covers three
times the space. The same principle APP
plies in other freights.
A resolution was adopted recommending
the appointment of ten members of the
board of trade representing the different In
tsrests, to confer with wharf owners and
the city council in regard to a revision of
rates, and that the president of the board OF
trade be chairman Of the committee. The
following committee was appointed in ac-
cordance with the resolution: President
John r. Young, chairman; Merritt w.

ANGELL WANTS DAMAGES
CHIEF OF POLICE GREEN SUED
FOR S4, 500.

The Man Whom Constable Kaufman
Arrested Last Spring as Suspected
Murderer Brings Suit Against Chief
Green in the United states Court for
False lmprisonment-W the Chief
Says About the Case.
Suit was entered yesterday in the United
States circuit court by E. d. Angel against
Chief of Police Green for $500 damages
for false Imprisonment and yesterday after
noon the following formidable document
was served on Chief Green by United
States Deputy Marshal Wetherhorn:
The petition Of E. D. Angel, who AYERS himself
70 DO citizen of and residing in the state Of
virginia, in the United states of America
showeth: That John Green, who your petitioner
AYERS, Is citizen of and residing in the state Of
ieorgla, IN the said Southern district OF Georgia,
In the said eastern division of the Southern dis
trlct or Georgia, in the United States of
America, hath eDdamaged your petitioner in
the sum of $500; for that the said
John Green, from the g1st day Of April,
1888, TO the 5th day of May, 1888 with
out warrant or lawful authority, did wrong
fully and unlawfully detain, keep and falsely
imprlson the person of your petitioner, whereby
your petitioner was. during said time, by the
said John Green, deprived of his personal lib
erty, by reason of which said actingS and doings
OK the said John Green your petitioner hath
been damaged in said sum OF $4,000. Wherefore
your petitioner prays process may issue requr-
ing the said John Green to be and appear at the
next term of said court, TO be held IN the city of
Savannah on the Thursday next after the first
Monday in November next, to answer in the
premises.
The attorneys for Angel are Charlton &
Mackall, who took Angel out of the bar
racks on a writ of habeas corpus in May
last. Angel was arrested on instructions
from the sheriff Of Leon county, Florida,
who said that he wanted him for murder
committed in Missouri 1t proved to be
case OF mistaken identity.
Chief Green informed the MORNING
NEWS last night that Constable Kauf-
mann arrested Angel and turned
him over at the barracks for
safe keeping to await the arrival Of
the sheriff from Florida. Chief Green said
that he has not yet consulted the corpora
ton counsel, but that the case will be re-
sisted IN the courts. He thinks, too, that
there is something more at the bottom of
the matter than mere damage suit. Such
arrests and detention, he said, are not un-
common elsewhere, and while every pre-
caution is taken to prevent the imprison-
ment of innocent men, 1t seems to be i'm
possible to avoid an occasional case Of mis-
taken identity.

to assure them that cir efforts in this di-

view of the relief demanded by the great
exigency of the times for the alienation of

The hotel men are busy preparing for

Savannah will get as many people as she
will possibly know how to accommodate,
and the hotel men men say they will be
glad if they will not be forced to
turn them away. The northern tourists
are looking forward to Savannah, it
seems, as the point that will be the most
crowded. Several of the hotels are In receipt
of letters ordering suits of rooms reserved for
the winter. One hotel man said yesterday
that the 0glethorpe Of Brunswick has most
of its rooms already engaged, and he OK
poets that before the holidays are over be

chiefly prospectOrs, have begun to put In

will be thronged with tourists. The season
proper for the rush of northern tourists Is
from Jan. Is until about March Is.
