Detective Basch captured two notorious
colored shoplifters and pickpockets on
Broughton street last night. They are Vir-
ginia Williams alias Babe" and Rebacca
Myers alias Willie Sans. They are both

victed. She and the Myers woman have
been systematically stealing from
Broughton street stores for sew
eral months, but the officers
were unable to catch them. Last night De-
tective Basch saw them on their rounds.

their possession. They had visited half
a dozen stores, and were dividing their
spoils on Whitaker street when they were
caught.

Williams woman had picked a
lady's pocket in the market early in the
evening of handkerchief and several dol

To Be Attached to the Fire Engines
This Week.
The five new heaters for the steam fire
engines arrived yesterday on the steamer
Nacoochee, in charge of Capt f. S. Clymer,
who is the ranking officer at fireman's
headquarters in Newark, N. J. Mr.. Clymer
will remain here this week experimenting
the attachments of the heaters to the en-.
gines.
The boilers of the heater are upright
tubular, Fl inches in diameter and feet
high. There have nineteen tubes to each
boiler, and Mr.. Clyner SAYS that a couDle
| OF common scuttlefuls of coal daily is all
| the fuel required to maintain pressure of
steam OF from five to ten pounds, The
| heaters will be so arranged that when an
| alarm of fire sounds, a ID the horses start
with the engine, the heaters will be auto
matically detached
The work of putting the heaters in place
| Will begin tomorrow morning. A heater
| is to be attached to engines Nos, l. Sand
respectively, and the fifth will be re-
served for the new La France engine. which
has been expected daily for the past week
| The heaters are stored at firemen's head
| quarters at South Broad and Abercorn
| streets
Mr. Clymer says the heaters are known
as the Newark heater, and have been in use
in Newark for the last ten years, and with no
sign OF being less effectual than when first
| put in.
Chief Fireman Puder took Mr.. Clvmer
drive over the city yesterday afternoon,
and when he saw the sandy streets be
said 1t was wonder that Savannah has
not been greater sufferer from fires. 81

MARCH OF THE CATERPILLAR.
Reports OF the Worms Ravages in
Florida.

Reports Of the Worms Ravages in
Florida.
The crop reports TO factors on upland
cotton continue favorable. While there
have been frequent reports of the caterpil-
lar no material damage has been done yet,
as the weather during August was not fav-
orable for the propagation of the pest.
Reports Of shedding and wedding in the
lowlands, which, of course, materially
affects the bottom crop, continue coming in.
Advices from planters Of long staple or
sea islands, in Florida, are very blue, and it
is believed that the worm has done a good
deal OF harm in the sea island belt Of
Florida Letters received from Bradford,
Alachua, Suwannee, Hamilton, Columbia
and Madison counties report that the worm
is eating heavily of the bot
tom crop. Excessive rains fell in
those counties last week which have favored
the caterpillar very much, especially where
the days were hot and steaming.
The worm Is also eating in the western
sections of Florida. Advices also say that
the middle crop is shedding. Reports from
around Lake City say that the crop is very
late, and planters do not count on more
than half crop, owing to poor
stands, caterpillar and rust. The top crop
is said TO be very promising. Estimates
are now being made that the Florida crop
will be fully one-fourth less than an aver
age crop. The &C cage is a little less than
last year. OF course the total yield and
the estimates may be subject to further
reductions on account Of the ravages of the
caterpillar. or even increased in case the
worm does not destroy the top crop, which
is very promising.
Advices from Carolina and the islands
continue TO report the second generation of
the caterpillar webbing up, and the second
generation is always the worst to contend
with, especially as the murky weather aids
the pest.
A curious feature, It is said, of the pres
emit situation in Carolina, exists where the
negroes are cultiyating cotton. They refuse
to use Paris green to destroy the worm, be-
cause the chickens eat the caterpillar, and
in the case of a poisoned worm the planters
claim that it poiSons their chickens, and
they prefer to run the risk of the destruc-
ton Of valuable crop for the sake of few
chickens

The Market Thieves.

Policeman Morgan, who is on special duty
IN the neighborhood of the market, had
hold of the slack Of little Negroes trousers
yesterday afternoon on his way to the bar
racks. He mad arrested the youngster for
fighting and loafing around the market. A
crowd of pickaninn1es followed the footsteps
OF the officer, but the guardian of the peace
had big stick in his hand, and he pre-
vented another riot.
The police have begun to clear the mar
ket OF the crowd of negro boys who steal
anything they can get their hands on.
some time ago they confined their stealing
to the countrymen's carts. Now tue buck
sters and sellers in the market have to keep
one eye on their customer and the other on
Their goods for fear of the thieves The

ments which have been made tend to show
that the goods we're mixed, and not uni
form in character. His opinion is that they
were in large part made of some natural
guanO which IS not of uniform character.
In such case 1t is conceivable that in the
part of the sample that he analysed there
was a portion rich in ammonia, and prob
ably potash.
Prof. White added that his analysis was
made Of a portion Of the sample contained
in the upper part Of the bottle. He is
ready to make affidavit, if necessary, that
the analysis was made by himself in dupli-
cate: so that there can be no question of its
accuracy.

THE YEARS COTTON RECEIPTS
Savannah Received s2e,e1e Bales in
1888180.


Yesterday closed the cotton year Of
1SSS'S9. Savannah's receipts were S2S, GIG
bales, against S9S.535 bales for the year
18S7-'SS, showing that the total receipts are
just 69,916 bales short. There was.
however, an increase of G,473 bales
of sea island and decrease
of 76,3S9 bales of upland cotton.
The decrease in Savannah's receipts were
to all appearances legitimate. The total
crop for last year will reach fully 100000
bales il it does not actually touch the fig
ures of 1SS7-SS, which were 7,046, 1913 bales
the largest crop ever grown and exceed
ing the great crop of 1S82-S3 by $4,000
bales.
The reasons Tor Savannah's decrease is
more attributed to the great freshets and
wind storms of last year during the picking
season than to any taking away by rival
parts, as none of them show any material
increase except New York and the over
land shipments from Texas accounts for her
excess in net receipts of something over 81
000 balac

CORPORAL TANNER.
His Office Under a Cloud-Thorough In
vestigation Promised


WASHINGTON, July 25th.-Members of
the Pension Office Commission are still en-
gagged in examining cases. The have as
yet reached no definite conclusion as to the
extent of the work. except that there is
considerable ground TO be covered. The
Commission intends in few DAYS to make
verbal report to Secretary Noble of what
is to be done, and then they will probably
receive some explicit instructions as to the
course TO be pursued in the future 1t is
SAID that the investigations of the Com
mission will establish one of two things:
Either that the employees of the Pension
Office. in presenting to the Commission for
their signature cases of re-rating, were fol-
lowing the policy that had ben pursued
prior TO Tanners Administration or else
that a combination had been formed for
the purpose of getting through such cases,
trusting TO the Ignorance and ineXperience
OF the new Commissioner. The records of
the cases Will demonstrate which of these
conclusions is the correct one.
In re-rating case when it is done in &C.
cordance wi h the laws, it must be shown
that there was some error in the original
disposition of the case when rate of pen
sion was filed. An increase in the rate of
pension is allowed on good evidence of
this character, and it is claimed that many
dence which had nothing to do with the
facts upon which the original pension was
based.
A number of beneficiaries of the re-rat-
ing are employees of the Pension office. 1t
is also claimed that this thing has been 60
ing on for some time, and that the GRATED
pensions are scattered all over the country.
In the event that the Commissioner dis
covers that any of these re rated cases are
illegal, the facts can be reported to the
Commissioner of Pensions, and law points
indicate the course tor him to pursue.
Pensioners are given sixty days in which
to show cause why their pensions were
legally granted. II they fail to do this,
then the Commissioner can have their pen
sion certificates recalled and the amount
adjusted to the legal limit He can de-
mand that the back pension. if any, should
be returned, and he has full authority to
collect it as he would any other form of
Indebtedness. This is the reason why the
report OF the Commissioner is awaited with
a good deal of interest. 1t is likely tina.
some of the present pensioners will be
being prepared at the Pension Office, show
ing number of cases that have been made
special during the four months of Tanners
administration.
1t is found that such cases are less than
600. 1t is Tanners intention to show in
addition the number of these cases in
charge of different attorneys, and he pro-
poses 10 attach TO the paper his affidavit,
stating that the list includes all cases made
special by his order.
