STOPPED STEALING AWHILE.

A Hen House Robbsr Caught and
Locked Up For Trial.
Policeman Morgan captured Ben Thomas
yesterday morning with sixteen fine chick
ems In his possession which are now at the
barracks awaiting a claimant. The resi-
dents in the outskirts have had their yards
and hen houses frequently raided by some
unknown marauder. A few days ago it was
discovered that the green grocers in that To-
cality were being offered frequently by
Thomas, live chickens at ri1iculously low
prices. Some of the chickens were fac fowls.
Mrs. Trott, whose hennery on Third
street was robbed last week, recognized
one OF her hens at green grocery, and, on
inquiry, found out that Thomas had sold
the chickens. Officer Morgan has had the
negro under espionage for some time, and
found out that he was to deliver som5 chick
ems at a greer grocer's at Anderson and
Abercorn yesterday morning, where he
had sold a batch the previous week.
The policeman found Thomas with
the fowls and arrested him. Thomas could
give no satisfactory account of his possession
Of the chickens.
The case was before the mayor yesterday
morning, and was continued until to-
morrow for more evidence. Thomas rooms
at a house on Bolton street across BiIbo
canal, where he has fourteen more chickens.
He is also offering fine COW for sale. A
few nights ago several yards on Third
avenue were cleaned Of all the
chickens and in one yard the lock of the
hen house was broken.
Another party two weeks ago had 200
fowls aud he has only half dozen left, all
taken by probably the same thief or thieves.
Thomas has pal also, whom the officer is

THE FAST TRAINS PUT ON
PREPARATIONS FOR a BIG TRAVEL
THIS WINTER

Two New Trains Added to the Charles
All Trains Coming South Crowded
18th People From the North ana
West, and Railroad and Hotel Men
Look for a6ushing Season.
The Atlantic Coast Line will complete its
winter service by putting on an extra train
between New York and Jacksonville to-
morrow, as has been customary at this
season Of the year. The train will be known
as No. % coming south and No. "a going
north. No. % will leave New York at 9:15
p. m, arrive in Savannah about 8 a. m,
leave Savannah at 20 and reach Jackson
vile at 1l:S0 a. n. No. "a
will leave jacksonville at 7:4S
a. M, leave Savannah at so p. NJ. and ar
rived in New York about ii: 55 o'clock the
following night.
The additional train is not fast train,
but is simply put on for the accommodation
of travel. Train No. 81, which makes the
trip between New York and Savannah in
% hours, will continue to be the fast train.
No change Is made in the schedule of trains
Nos. q and IA on account of the addition.
The addition of No. % was necessary to
meet the requirements Of the heavy travel
south, which is already 50 large as to create
remark. The arrivals in Jacksonville of
late have been unusually heavy,
from $50 to 300 passengers arriving
daily by the Coast Line. Parties
ming south on the fast train this week re-
port the train so crowded that seats were
obtained with difficulty, aud passengers
from local points in many cases were
obliged to stand up.
The crowds include large numbers Of
| hote! people and others having interests in
Florida, besides large numbers Of CONNER
cial tourists, as well as the winter tourists,
who are already moving south in consid-
cradle numbers
Many sportsmen are included among
the early arrivals, coming down in
parties of six to a dozen with all
the sport N ms equipments ready to make
war upon florida gamo.
Parties arriving from the north in the
last few days report that there Is general
anticipation of a severe winter and that
larger numbers Of people are looking to-
ward the south as a refuge for the winter
than ever Def, re. As soon as the cold
Gather sets in the movement south will be
very heavy. The De Soto's list of arrivals
have been very good of late, numbering
from thirty to fifty a day, and even higher.

WANTS TIE BUSINESS ITSgLF.

The Richmond and D nvilIe Not Civ
ing Up any to the South Bonnd.
The Richmond and Danville seems to be
adopting policy of repression toward the
South Bound. It has notified the
South Bound that 1t will not receive freights
from Savannah and through points from it
for any points on its lines north of Columbia
and west of Augusta. Naturally it does not
turn over any freight to the South Bound
that can be carried around by its own lines
This action of the Richmond and Danville
practically limits the South Bound to its
local territory.
ut prevents Savannah from getting the
benefits Of the decreased distance TO points
north Of u.s." said South Bound railroad
man yesterday, land compels them to pay
for shipping their goods over the same old
round about routes"
The putting on OF the new schedule be-
tween Savannah aud Charlotte to connect
with the Richmond and Danville for w ash
ington and New York, giving practically
the same time as the Atlantic Coast Line
Is regarded as an attempt to FORE
stall the anticipated SHIRT route schedule
by the South Bound. 1t is said now that the
Richmond and Danville will not give the
South Bound vestibule train or a through
Pullman service between Savannah aud
Charlotte to connect with the vestibule on
the Richmond and Danvlle for Washing
ington and New York, as was confidently
expected short while ago.

TO TRY TOBACCO RAISING.
A Savannah Man to Plant an Expert
mental Crop Next Year.

A Savannah Man to Plant an Expert
mental crop Next Year.
The head Of one of the largest commits
sion houses on the Bay said yesterday that
his farm will experiment largely with
tobacco in Bulloch county next year. He
believes the climate aud soil to be admirably
suited TO the cultivation of tobacco. and
that 1t will prove a very profitable crop
in this section. Tobacco is now
being raised with great success at
BainbridRe; Gadsden county, Florida, and
Florence, 3. G., localities at which two or
three years ago tobacco was not thought of
as money crop.
At Flore ce, s. G., where not a stalk of
tobacco was planted a few years ago, a
large acreage is now given to its cultlva-
ton. The yield Is 900 to 1900 pounds per
acre and the crop sells at 20 tc 80 cents Der
pound. 1t is a very profitable crop to the
farmer and fortunes are being made In its
cultivation. 1t is the heavy crop for plug
tobacco that is cultivated at Florence.
At cambridge the finer leaf for cigar
wrappers is cultivated, and much higher
prices are obtained.
Samples of the best North Carolina seed
and also of the best Cuban seed will be se~
cured for the experiment. Parties famil-
lar with the cultivation of tobacco will have
charge OF this crop, that the best results
| may be obtained
II don't see why just as fine tobacco as Is
raised In Cuba should not be raised in Geor-
gia, said the gentleman. There Is very
little difference in the soil and the climate
except that their season is q little longer.
The time has come for the people of this
section to raise something else besides cot,
ton, and tobacco appears to be the most
available CROP

GOSSIP I F THIS STAGE.

The German actor. Matkowsky at pres
ent starring at Amberg's theater, has been
made peuniless by the failure of Friedlander
& Sommerfeld, bankers in Berlin. The
savings of his lifetime amounted to 120, 900
marks.
Augustin DAILY has got himself rather dis
liked III certain literary circles In London.
His crime is that he has presumed to turn
the poet laurate into an advertising medi-
um and want of taste is something English
people never forgive.
There was especial interest in the per-
Torrance of "Is Marriage Failure'' at
the Amphion in Brooklyn, last Tuesday, for
Mr.. Robson aud his leading lady, May
Waldron, were married few hours before
the curtain rose. The ceremony was per-
formed by a magistrate in the governors
room at the New York city hall. Mr..
Robson can have no heartier good speed
than the expression OF hope, on the part of
his friends that his married life will be as
happy as his professional life is SUGGEST I'll.
Theater parties promise to be more popu-
lar this season than ever in large cities.
One Of the prettiest parties of the Chicago
season was called "violet party" and con-
sisted of thirty three couples, each lady
wearing violet-trimmed hat, spray of
violets in her corsage and each carrying a
violet fan. 1t was as unique as 1t was beau
tiful, and has been largely copied in other
cities. During the engagement of Salvini
at Chattanooga, whore he opened his pres
ent southern tour, a rose party was one of
the features of the occupants of the boxes
and one that was greatly admired. The
fad is pretty one and one that makes
theater goers thoroughly enjoy themselves
for the novelty of the situation and the
pleasure Of social companionship between
the acts

A WEEK OF COMEDY.
A JOLLY LOT OF ATTRACTIONS AT
TIE TaEATER

"Nr. Wilkinson's Widows" With
Georgia Lady AS One OF the Wild
ows, the Opening Performance-"Mr.
Barnes of New York' Next, and Gay
and risky Verona Jarpesu and Her
Pretty Girls to Follow.
The coming week at the theater will be
devoted principally to comedy. with the
exception of one performance, that OF "Mr.
Barnes Of New York"
Monday Night - "Mr. Wilkinson's
Widows"
Tuesday Night-"Mr. Barnes of New
York;
Wednesday and Thursday Nights
Verona Jarbeau in starlight"
"Mr. Wilkinson's Widows" in which Sa-
vannah people have an interest because Of
Miss Nina Heyward's connection with it,
will be the opening attraction TO morrow
night Savannah theater-goers will be in
troduced to the play for the first time. 1t
Is the product of that inimitable play writer,
Gillette, better known here as The Pro-
fessor.n "Mr. Wilkinson's Widows" of
whom there are two, come with the imprint
Of Charles Frohman. which, as all play
goers know, is guarantee of something I'M
usually good, and with the prestige of an
unusually successful run in New York.
Ii anything were needed to emphasize the
assurances of clever and artistic presenta-
ton it is the fact that Sanford II. Cohen Of
Augusta and Atlanta, vouches for the ex-
cellenCe of the comedians to whom the in
depreciation of the play is intrusted and
who will present it here. The plot results
from the bigamy of wealthy old man of
- -,
women, whom he has married, believes
herself to be his sole and only widow. Each
has consoled herself with young and hand
some husband. and when the curtain rises
both couples, by a coincidence. are living
In separate apartments Of the same fat
house.
Here is the basis of natural eutangle-
ments, and no end OF laughable situations
before the final reimbursement.
Miss Nina Hayward, who takes the part
of "Mrs Dickerson" is charming young
woman. She has large family connection
in Savannah and many friends here. She is
handsome and talented woman whose sue
cess on the stage Is assured. Her rise in the
profession has been rapid. Two years ago
her ambition aud love Of independence
prompted her to go upon the stage, and she
made her debut at the New York Casino as
"Falette" in "Nadje." Last sea-
son abe filed an engagement with
"Russell's Comedians" and this year is TAX
ing one of the leading parts in "Mr. Wiki
inson's Wild )ws.n The part which she fills
is one that depends for its success greatly
upon the work of the actress herself, being
in fact just what she makes it. and it is a
part which Miss Hayward is we'll qualified
to fill. Her acting is sympathetic, and her
accent alone is sufficient to establish per-
feet harmony between herself and her
ENTHUSIASTICALLY IL the audience be a
southern one.
This is Miss Heyward's first appearance
in the south as an artistic, and she has been
warmly received everywhere. There is no
doubt OF the reception she will have in Sa-
vannah.

IT MEANS ANOTHER ROAD.

The Richmond and Danville and the
cry Rupture.
The fight between the Central and Savan-
nah, Americas and Montgomery roads is the
principal topic among Bay street men, and
all sorts OF theories are being advanced as
to the probable outcome of the trouble.
- =. The coming of President Hawkins of the
Sam is anxiously awaited. Many people
think when he gets to Savannah
he will either have the old
contract renewed or get to work ct once to
bring his line here. 1t is said that the
Richmond and Danville will be as heavy a
loser by the rupture as the Savannah, Ameri-
Gus and Montgomery, becaus. the local busi-
ness between Savannah and Lyous will not
be sufficient by any means to support the
Savannah and Western.
The through passenger rates to Americus
by the Sam via the Savannah and Western
were discontinued after last nights train
pulled out of the Central depot. Parties
now wanting to go to Americas or Mont
gomery by the Sam will have to pay regu-
lar Central rates to Lyons, and from there
buy another ticket at Sam rates.
1t is understood that after the Richmond
and Danville first gave the Sam people no.
tice OF the discontinuance Of traffic arrange.
ments an amicable understanding was ar
rived at and the original order counter
manded, but the Richmond and Danville
authorities changed their mind Then the
Sam people decided to make no further
efforts to settle, but let matters take their
course.
There Is some outside talk of the South
Bound and Sam forming a combine and
coming into the city over common terminals
to union depot.
Col. Hawkins, some Of his friends assert,
will build TO Savannah IL the South Bound
will agree to a common terminal. In view
of possible hitch between the Magnolia
route and the Richmond and Danvilie, the
forming OF the combine at an early day
viii not be an unlikely happening.

RoBBERIEs BY vAGABoNDs.
Tramp Highwaymen Infest the Roads
Leading Into the City.

Leading Into the City.
The highwaymen who attempted to shoot
Frank Sawyer day before yesterday on the
Ogeechee road are supposed to be tramps.
They have not been apprehended, because
they are plying their vocation beyond the
police limits, aud neces sarily come under the
jurisdiction of the state officers.
The police say that complaints OF rob
berries and attempted robberies along the
roads loading irto Savannah are not new or
surprising things. They occur almost
yearly during the fall, and are committed
by the tramps who are driven southwark
by the approaching winter. When they get
within few miles Of the city they camp
out and strike up a partnership with the
shiftiess negroes, and together they prey
upon the small farms and hold up the lonely
travellers who happen in their way.
When the vagaOonds manage TO make a
haul they come TO the city aud generally
wind up by being arrested for vagrancy.
The parties whom they rob are
never able TO recognize them,
and consequently they receive no punish
ment for their grievous crimes.
A gentleman who has considerable bust 9.
ness along the various roads leading into
the city told MORNING News reporter
yesterday that be has met during the past
two weeks, camped at various points some
of the toughest looking white tramps that
have ever visited this section. In most in
stances negroes have been mingling with
them, and they have the appearance of
oelng equal to the commission Of any crime.
The MORNING News informant said that
the people living along the roads are in ter
ror OF these mar .uding bands, and have to
submit to their depredations without COM
plant 1t would De good idea he said, to
have officers sent out to either capture or
TIN he ,N,,.f IL,
transfer the scene Of their operations to the
city If not summarily dealt with.

The experience Of man is great. 1t is va
ried as it is immense. The wonderful
changes in the life of man much depends
upon what he eats. This is one of the vital
parts Of his existence. 1t is therefore nee
esssry that he selects such food as will DE
conducive to comfort and health. The ma
jority OF the human race, however, have to
be contented with whatever they can get,
but it is a pleasure to know that a man can
leave his home after breakfast and arrive
at the market in few minutes and order
from II. Logan, the beef specialist
and poultry doaler. and there leave
his order for dinner which he is satisfied
will please the inner man. He has no fears
nor trouble il the selection of what he is to
eat, for Logan makes it his business to
supply him with the very choicest selec-
tions Of western ard native meats. He goes
home to dinner to find that his order mas
been filled pro oerly and he ats down to his
table to properly fill himself. Comfort and
pleasure in this. Every patron Of Logan Is
satisfied with the agreeable dealings.
Ladies make a custom Of calling at stalls
Nos. 81 and 68 and leaving their ord ers.
hey are aware that Logan has four
wagons constantly on the go, leaving the
market every hour during the
market hours, every day from

all day. 1t is wonderful how it is possible
to get every hing in season. In any quantity,
SUCH as teal ducks, English ducks, venison
and fish. Then the choice selections of
corred beef, picked tongue and homeless
hams. sausage of all kinds, honey comb
tripe and the very finest turkeys, geese and
ducks.
The great convenience at Logan's for the
supply of all these goods is unsurpassed. The
fine display of good things was never in
excess Of the present season, aud the man
ner in which the experienced butchers serve
the public at H. Lognn's is worthy of the

SAYS HE WAS DAMAGED $1,000.
An Interesting Suit Tried IN the City
Court Yesterday.

An Interesting Suit Tried In the City
Court Yesterday.
An interesting damage suit was tried in
the city court yesterday. Marion Baughn
sued Henry Sack for $1,000 damages for
false Imprisonment.
Several months ago, while Baughn was
employed as an extra conductor with the
Belt Line, he managed to get Sacks son, a
small boy about II years old. indebted to
him to the amount of 81 so. He told the
boy one day that he must get him the
money, aud the little fellow went home and
stole $50 gold piece from his father. This
he gave to Baughn to take out mis- 80 So
The conductor went to the office of the
company and had the piece changed, Civ
ing. as be claims, SIT so back to Sacks SON
$40 bill, SIS bill and 81 so in silver. The
boy, on the other had. when his father dis
covered the theft, said that Baughn had
kept all the money except IS.
Sack promptly had Baughn arrested for re-
ceivtng stolen goods, and he was committed
to Jail, where he remained several days be-
fore securing bond. Through the inter-
vention of friends Sack dropped tine crimi-
nal prosecution and withdrew his charges
against the conductor.
The tables were turned at once by Baughn
at this Juncture, and he entered suit against
Sack for damages for false imprisonment.
On the witness stand Baughn insisted
that be had returned to Sacks son SIT so
change, and that the charge of receiving
stolen goods which kept him in jail several
days was unjust because he didn't know the
money had been stolen.
The trial consumed the attention of the
court from / o'clock until Z o'clock. at which
time the case was given to The jury. Up to
late hour last night the jury had failed to
reach an agreement, and Judge Harden no.
titled it that a sealed verdict could be rem
dered.
WV. Osborne, Esq.,, represented the plain
tiff and Il. r. Richards, Esq. the defendant.
