4 Daring Transaction IN Horsefiesh
That Cost a Stockmen S25 90
One of the boldest cases Of horse stealing
on record occurred in Savannah day before
yesterday, but was not discovered until yes
terday. Wednesday morning white man,
giving the name Vim. Smith, went into
Harmon's stables on Drayton Ftrest and en-
gagged . saddle horse from Mr. Harmon for q
ride in the afternoon. The man appeared
70 be al right He took the horse in the
Afternoon, as agreed upon, and rode of, but
failed 20 return
Mr.. Harmon became uneasy over the non
appearances Of the horse, and began search
for him Yesterday he was Informed by
Mr.. Z. c. Gleason that Mr.. Younglove Of
YouuRlove az Goodman had the horse, and
said be had bought IL
Investigation developed the fact that
Smith, Immediately after securing the
horse for the afternoon, went TO Mr.. Young
love and sold the animal TO him. He gave
the name William Reich to Mr.. Younglove
and SAID that he had paid 500 for the horse,
and wanted TO sell him because
he was 10 need Of money. Mr. Iounglove
offered him as for the animal, which the
apparent owner accepted, saying that be
was very mucn in need Of the money and
agreed 70 deliver the horse in the after
noon.
Police Sergeant Reilly was at the stable
when the trade was made. Reich
or Smith called Tor the horse at
Harmon's stable little before
8 o'clock in the afternoon, disposed of the
saddle in some way or other which has not
yet been learned, and took the hoi Sc immedi-
ately TO Younglove & Goodman's stable
on West Broad street, where he got the
money for him and left immediately He
has not been seen since. Mr. Younglove
hitched the horse and drove up town yesrer-
day. Mr.. Gleason saw him driving the horse
and inquired what he was doing with
Harmon's horse. Mr.. Younglove thought
he was only chatting him. and paid no at
tention to him. When Mr.. Gleason heard
of Mr.. HarInon's loss he Immediately sent
him word that the horse was in MIR. Young
loves possession. Mr.. Harmon called on
Mr.. Younglove and secured his horse later
in the day. but is still minus a saddle. As
soon as the two liverymen got together the
thief's bold plan Of action was made plain.
Mr.. Harmon says he would not take Sl25

GROCERIES In FLAMES.

from Spontaneous Combustion

morning.
The store fronts on Congress street, run.
ming through to st. Julian. The fire broke
out in the second story on the St. Julian
street side. and burned rapidly in
the combustible material stored there
A stream from the chemical
was turned on, and, with two streams OF
water besides, it looked as though the fire
would be quickly under control. 1t had got
well under way, however, aud the flames
were bursting through the windows before
the firemen got well at work
Four streams were soon playing, two
on the. st. Julian street eide and
two on Congress street, but they
only checked the fire. 1t kept
eating it's way through the building, and
up to the third floor. Dense volumes Of
black smoke poured out Of the windows,
driving the fremen from the ladders and
rendering it impossible to enter the build
ing. The telegraph, telephone and electric
light wires prevented the putting up of the
ladders on the Congress street side, and the
fremen had TO work from the ground.
After the flames on the second floor had
been got under control they did not break
out again until the roof burned through,
when the fire shot up, carrying a cloud of
cinders, which settled on the roofs of ad-
joining buildings. The firemen kept pour
ing water into the building until it had
been flooded and the cellar was half filed.
When the fire reached the roof there was
some fear that it would spread to the
adjoining stores. the Palmer Hardware
Company on the east and Cornwell and
Chapman on the west The heavy fire
walls. however, confined the fire TO the
building in which it started. The building
was completely Quilted, only the walls being
left standing.
The stock of groceries is total loss. Mr..
at q, 900, covered by 5000 insurance In
bearing & Hull's agency. The building
was owned by the Gibbons estate,
and is fully covered by insurance
The total loss on stock and building is
estimated at 81, 900 to $4,000.
The origin Of the fire is unknown. MIR. |
Champion closed the store at o'clock, and |
there was no light left burning. The only |
plausible theory is that Of spontaneous COM
bustion In the piles of straw and packing |
material on the second floor.
Mr.. Champion said this morning that the
fire will not interfere with his business |
longer than ewSdays. A new stock of
goods will be ordered to-day and he will |
'eopen business as soon as the goods arrive,

The Manager of FLORIDA on Wheels"
Takes 1t Away From That Town in
q Huff.
From the NeW York Sun.
AsBURY PARK, Aug. 5.-The visit to this
town of the Florida state exposition car
known as FLORIDA on Wheels" has been the
means of splitting into two factions the
board of commissioners The car is in
charge of Gen. Wanton Webb, the director
general Of the Florida Sub-tropical EXPOSE
ton Company, and Is sent out by he state
of Florida for the purpose of showing to the
world the products of that state. The car
contains specimens Of flowers, fruits and
other products, including alligators. There
is only nominal charge for admission, as
the state supports the affair.
The car has been travelling three years,
and only in two small towns have the
authorities demanded the payment of a
license fee. James A. Bradley, the founder
of this town, gave Gen. Webb the u.e of
one his lots near the beach, and majority
of the commissioners assured Gen Webb
that no license would be required, as it was
only courtesy to the state of Florida to
remit the fee. 1t costs $500 to move the
car from the depot to the beach and like
amount to return it
Last night the commissioners had meet
ing to consider the matter, and some of the
commissioners made things lively for the
Others. A committee was appointed to settle
the thing Gen. Webb will not await the
committees decision. To-day he put up the
sign: Last day in this town. and when
the facts leaked out the people became in
dignant. The car was moved back to the
depot tonight, and tomorrow it will start
for Atlantic City. Commissioner Ten
brock said he would pay the $3.50 fee, but
Gen. Webb decided to quit the town.
