A CLEVER coLoRED FoHaER.
Henry Clay's Scheme Which Was
Accidentally Discovered.

Henry Clay's Scheme Which Was
Accidentally Discovered.
Henry Clay, who was sent to jail day be-
fore yesterday upon a charge Of forgery,
was given a preliminary hearing yesterday
before Justice McDermott and was re-
manded to jail in default of $500 bail upon
the charge of forgery. George W. Owens,
Esq, represented Clay, but the evidence
against the negro was sufficient TO turn him
over to the superior court.
Clay was employed by Smith & Kelly in
the firms ofiics. he learned to write in the
Office. In the absence of the clerks he an
swered telephone messages and made memo
rania for the clerks upon their return.
IL was the custom of Mr.. Lee, the fore
man in the office, to give the employees, for
groceries, orders upon Mr.. Keine, a
groceryman near the Office. Clay had re-
ceived several OF these orders. He con-
ceivsd the idea Of writing orders himself,
and, it is said, began to immitate the haud-
writing of Mr.. Lee His imitation was so
nearly perfect that the storekeeper did not
once suspect that Ices orders were not
genuine. Mr.. Keine received the
orders without questioning them.
Clay succeeded remarkably we'll, and he
began TO pile the orders in by the wholesale.
He got in his work when the clerks were at
ulnuer, operating bne Scueiu9 through Two
colored boys. he wrotes the notes in favor
of some of the other employees, signing Mr..
Lees name. and sent the boys out with
them. This went on for some time The
last order Clay sent, however, gave tue
snap away. IL was received by the mer-
chant after Mr.. Lees account had been
made, and instead OF making out a new
account he appended the order to the
account already made out. When the biz
was turned into Mr.. Lee he could not under
stand il and when no went TO the store
keeper for an explanation the matter was
uncovered.
When all the orders for the month were
exhibited by the merchant Mr.. Lee found
eight or nine which he claimed were not
genuine. In short time one IF the boys
who presented the orders to the merchant,
came into the store and the storekeeper
identified him. He told the story of how
Clay engaged him, the number of orders
he carried and what the orders called for.
This led to athorough Investigation, and in
a short time another one of the errand boys
was found. The clerks then recognized the
handwriting of Clay, and he was arrested.
He made a stout denial, but he had no wit
ness to testify in his behalf

Seventy-flve Convicts at Work There
Now.
1.-THE people of Savannah will owe an
eternal debt of gratitude to the commits
sioners Of Chatham county for draining
Minis swamp" said gentleman yesterday,
in group which was discussing the drain
age work now going on in the swamp, and
it was the generally accepted opinion that
with the complete drainage of the Minis

will have been reached.
Seventy five convicts are now at work
draining that portion of the swamp which
affects the low lands in the neighborhood of
Southov0r junction and all the low lands on
the west side of the Ogeechee road. When
this important drainage work has been
completed the other branch will be dug,
which, with the side drains, or small bitches
to tap the main canals, will give a complete
drainage of the only section of low lands
which menaces the health Of the city.
To facilitate the work four tents, with
flies, have been contracted for, to be de-
livered within three weeks. A. J. Lille of
Isle Of Hope has bean awarded the contract.
1t is proposed to use the tents as movable
quarters, 80 that the daily and tedious
return TO the permanent quarters, with the
loss of time going to and returning from
work, may be obviated.
Two tents 14x40 feet will be used by the
convicts, one tent 14x25 feet will be assigned
to the guards, and one tent 14x16 feet
will be used as a cook shop
The east side gang are now engaged in
cleaning out the Harmon canal, and it is
expected that within two weeks the force
will be put to work on the Casey canal, the
route of which will be changed, as recently
detailed in the MORNING NEWS.
