WHERE THEY GET THE MONEY.

The Class Of Colored People That
Boom the Excursion Business.
81 have just found out where all these
colored people get money to go on excurs-
ions, said a colored man yesterday on a
Liberty street car.
"Where do they get it?"
From the pawnbrokers "
The colored man said that he had watched
string Of colored people block long, one
right after the other croWding into a
pawnshop. Some of them had tin buckets,
washed clean, which they were going to
pawn. Some of them had mirrors, some
Bibles, others dictionaries, pistols, bowie
knives, silver plates, china plates, bowls.
pitchers, mugs, pictures, lamps, towels, COL
lars and cuffs, and thousand other kinds
of articles
1T is a big time for the pawnbrokers, "
he added; ''they make whatever they want
on the articles. They know that the own
ers will not be able, within the limit, to
redeem them, and the articles are sent away
to plumber house and sold" Some of the
colored people, he said, do not have 60
pawn their furniture or anything else.
They make good wages and have money
when they want it, or if they haven't, they
can easily borrow it. 1t is the loafers aud
idlers, who have no steady means of a
livelihood, who resort to this practice of
getting funds for trip.
The Beaufort excursions, the man said
are always very large, and every negro who
has enough "truck" to borrow 81 on can
make the trip and go away for a few hours
aud feel just as happy as the man who paid
his fare out of his hard. earned money. The
Charleston excursions are generally well
patronized, and so, too, are the Jacksonville
excursions whenever the fare is cheap.
"No excursion has ever been as big,n he
said ''as the one that Mr.. Bob Hunt got up
the first Of this year. The excursion went
to Augusta. After that excursion there
was an army of strapped colored people.
They had spent all their money and had to
start from the bottom again and work up.
But they enjoyed itn

IN A THUGS CIR ASP.
All-Night Workers Encounter
With a Footpad.

n gentleman whose business keeps him
out until B or o'clock in the morning, was
returning home Saturday morning about 4
o'clock, and when near York and Houston
streets was surprised by being suddenly
caught by the shoulders in the powerful
grasp of negro who collsred him so vio-
lently that he nearly tore the clothing from
his back.
The thug demanded his money, and as his
victim was unarmed and no match for the
negro, he meekly asked him to let go his
hold and he would fork it over. The negro
loosed his hold with the remark: "Give
me all you have and be - quick about
it."
The gentleman, who had his weeks wages
in his pocket, thrust his hand in his pocket
with the full intention of taking out his
money and turning it over, but by accident
he encountered bottle of medicine he was
taking home, and as he was in the act of re-
moving it from the pocket the negro caught
sight of the glistening neck of the bottle,
which he mistook for the barrel of a revolt
yer and Immediately took to his heels He
had been in concealment behind a tree box
in a heavy shade, and his presence not being
suspected accounts for the ease with winch
he secured MS hold on his intended victim
The gentleman says he will hereafter watch
the tree boxes when he is out at night, and
viii go loaded for robbers

A HUNT FOR BURGLARS.
The Breaking OF Window Glass Gives
the Police an Extra Search.

The Breaking of Window Glass Gives
the Police an Extra Search.
About half an hour after 70 o'clock yes.
terday morning the sound OF falling glass
from an upper window of j. ID. Weed &
Co.'s store, on Broughton street. was heard
by passers by who, supposing burglars had
entered the building, summoned the police.
Two officers responded, one Of whom ex-
amined the doors on the lane, while the
other tried the doors on Broughton street,
and all were found secure.
w. ID. krenson, junior member of the
firm, said last night that there was no evil
dence that the store had been entered, and
the doors could not be opened without set
ting off the burglar alarm, and if thief hal
concealed himself in the building before
the closing hour he could not have got out,
except from a second story window, with
out sounding the alarm A glazier
was making repairs TO the windows Satur-
day, and piece of broken & ass may have
been left on the window coping and by
some means have been dislodged.
Some time ago the fall of q 50-pound
wheel hub in the basement of the building
made quite racket, and it was thought
tat some one was in the store then. The
hub was thought TO be firmly set upon an
other Of the same size aud it has always
been a mystery how it could have lost its
center of gravity, without an earth tremor
overturned it. as a thorough search with
lights proved that not even a cat was in the
cellar. The investigation yesterday morn
ing drew quite number OF persons about
the building and a burglar would have had
a strong gauntlet to run if he had been the
cause of the alarm.

SHUT DOWN ON HIS FINGERS

Mayhem.

An Old Fort Woman in Jail for
Mayhem.
A Monday morning episode of the Old
Fort, under gas house hill, was an act of
mayhem, committed by Mary jenkins
upon Warren Slater, both of whom are COL
ored. Mary walked up to Slater and
charged him with having followed her the
night previous, and before Slater suspected
any viciousness, she seized two fingers of
his left hand in her mouth, and shut down
on them with the muscular grip of a gator,
painfully managing them. Slater swore out
a warrant in Justice Reynolds court, and
the magistrate committed the woman to JAIL
The constable had more than he bargained
for in executing the commitment Mary
went along peaceably enough until she got
to South Broad street, when she sat down
on the green running through the center of
the street, and refused to bulge another
step.
Sergt. Reilly went to the constable's
assistance, and the woman broke out in a
TRADE of abuse of the sergeant, telling him
that she was not in his custody, and would
not obey any of his orders. A street wagon
happened along, and the woman was un-
tremendously hustled into it, and driven
to the Jail, where she is likely to stay until
the December term Of the superior court
The woman was not under the influence of
liquor, but was acting under vicious
temper
