RE FORGED MORTGAGES.

A Novel Scheme Adopted by 8 Sharp
Colored Man TO Raise Money.
B. c. Jenkins, 9 rather intelligent negro,
has been committed 10 Jail by Justice
Nsughtin on a charge Of forgery, made by
Emma Walker (colored). Jenkins crime
consisted ia the forging Of the woman's
name to promissory notes, and also the
forging OF a mortgage on her household
effects. BE only secured SO 80 by the
forgery.
jenkins has been carrying on his opera
tious for some time among colored people
His scheme was to visit them and find out
IL they wished 10 raise any cash. If they
did be would tell them that he could get
whatever amount they needed on favorable
terms for q mortgage on their household
goods. Then he would take an inventory
Of the furniture, and promise to call around
again IN few days and arrange matters.
That would be the last seen Of Jenkins,
but in the course of a month or two the peo-
pie whom he had been talking to would be
presented notes purporting to be signed by
them.
Jenkins would make out a mortgage with
the inventory he had secured and get diff
ferent brokers to advance him small sums,
giving one or two forged notes. He worked
his scheme once too often on the Wal Ter
woman. The broker who gave him the
money on the forged mortgage and notes
had her swear out a warrant against Jen-
kins and be is now in jail, with bright pros
poets of long term in the penitentiary
looming up before him. 1t is thought that
jenkins had some white confsderates.

A LIoENss REVOKED.

Mrs. Larkin Pays Dearly for a Second
Violation of the Sunday Law.
Mayor McDonough had two more vio-
lators Of the Sunday law before him yes
terday. Mrs. Maria Larkin, who keeps q
saloon on Indian street, was charged with
selling liquor on Sunday, July 5. The usual
general denial" was entered, but the con-
trary evidence was too conclusive to be
overcome.
1t was Mrs. Larkin's second offense. and
Mayor McDonough reminded her that when
she was before him and was fined 800 on
the former occasion he had warned her that
second violation would result in the re-
vocation of her license. He said he would
keep his promise, and fined Mrs. Larkin
800 and ordered Clerk Rebarer to revoke
the license. The dne was paid and Mrs.
Larkin's license was taken away.
The other case was that of Herman
Renken, who owns a saloon at Bull and
Second streets. He was charged with selling
liquor last Sunday Renken denied al
knowledge Of liquor being sold from hi,
barroom, but there was a sufticiency OF
evidence to satisfy Mayor McDOnough thai
liquor had been sold from the place, and h,
fined Renken 800. Renken gave bond anC

RAIL AND CROsSTIR.

The railway mileage Of the United States
July l, 1891, was, as we figure it. 1859. 225
miles, with a good prospect that it will
be at least 1880 miles az the end of the
present year, or double what it was twelve
years before.
OF the eighty-three employees Of Canadian
railways killed last year seven were the
victims of car couplings. This is seven too
many, aud yet the proportion of deaths re-
sulting from this cause is not 80 great as Is
commonly supposed.
The following trolly wire story comes
from Chattanooga: "Whie Dr. W. 8. Bo-
CANT was driving on the electric railway
track one of his horses began t. rear and
plunge. Alighting to find out the reason OF
this the doctor discovered that both shoes
had been pulled from the horses hind feet
and were sticking to the rails. They were
highly charged The nails in thsm had
been Strengthened out, and pulled from the
hoof without injuring the horse"
The railway mileage Of Canada has grown
from 16 miles in 1897 to SO in 1877, ,428 In
1857. 2.258 in 1857, 1914 in 1874, and II. 69l
in 1887 to Is, $50 miles in operation June 80,
1890, At that date the total mileage of COM
pleted railway was 1904, being 74S miles
| more than the number reported il operation,
The increase over the previous year was CPS
miles. A noticeable fact In respect TO rail-
| way construction i'll Canada Is the extremely
| liberal aid afforded by the government. or
the $3.50, AL, ol2 of capital S16l, 1884, 721, OF

The Americanized Encyclop@dia Bri


The Americanized Encyclopedias Bri-

Is valuable because it Is accurate, because it
is modern, because it has rejected the
worthless and preserved the necessary, be-
cause it brings the history Of science, litera-

and the mental aud moral development of
the race down to the year 1890. In It's ten
large octave volumes will be found an
amount OF interesting and profitable read
ing of inoalculeble value TO the busy man.
The historical record Of every country OF
the world, Of every state and city Of the
union, is brought down to the current
year. Its statistical matter is invaluable,
for it is taken from the very latest official
returns in all cases. An additional interest
attaches to the Americauized Encyclcpoe.

attention to the grand record Of olden days,
1t has devoted ample space to the story of

Other Men Who Would be Likely to
Have Preceded Him.
The rumor Of possibility that Mr.. Cecil
Gabbett will be made general manager Of
the Plant system, and its denial yesterday
morning, have been the talk In railroad
circles this week.
The Montgomery Advertiser, in report
ing this rumor, suggested that Supt. Dun
hahn Of the Alabama Midland was the
proper man for the place, If any change
were to be made. Charleston thinks Maj.
Gadsden, superintendent Of the Charleston
and Savannah. would be the man.
If there was to be any change as was
rumored, which. there is not to be, Supt
Fleming of tie Savannah. Florida and
Western railway would undoubtedly be the
man to be promoted. Capt. Fleming is
general superintendent of the chief road Of
the Plant system, the operation Of which he
controls. He ia not only a popular
official but is one of the most
thoroughly equipped railroad men in the
country, both IN knowledge and in practical
experience. Mr.. Plant would hardly go
elsewhere when he has such officials to ap-
point from. No change is contemplated,
however, in the line which has been
rumorei, and none at all. in fact, hey ond
those which have already been made.

The Regatta Association Programme
an Interesting One.
The Georgia Regatta Association races
will take place Monday afternoon on the
Savannah river. 4 number of entries have
bee made ard the occasion promises to be
a very interesting one.
AS the races will be down past the city, a
large crowd can view them from the rear
Of the business houses on the Bay, from the
decks of the ships in the river and from the
wharves
The starting point will be from opposite
the boat house. about abreast of the morket
dock. The course will be first up the river
to Egg Island and then back down the river
to the buoy opposite the Fig Island light.
and then back up the river again to tie
starting point. total distance of about five
miles. The course is made a short one on
account OF having the tide to contend with
and the heavy current of the Savannah
river.
Three yachts have been entered in the
first class race--the Glance, Commodore
Frank Lathrop; Ocsan Queen, Rear Com
modore X, M. Demere, and the Elvida,
Capt. G. E. Dieterich.
Two boats have been entered in the Sec
ond class-the Osprey, Capt. T. $. Clay,
and the Mascotte. Capt. Il. D. Osborne.
Several other boats are expected to enter
this class.
There will be naptha launch race,
which is a new thing in these waters. No
formal entries have been made yet, but sev-
eral launch owners have signihed their in
tention of entering.

entered the four-oared boat race, and three
other crews have signiied their intention of

will be the usual four-oared crews and IA
lively race is expected. A purse will be Of
fered the winning boat. There will also bs
single SOUL races. The prizes for the cabin
yachts and the open yachts will be champion
pennants; for the naptha launches the silk
club pennant, and the same for the winning
boats of the four-oared crews and singles.

ever raced upon the Savannah river, the
objection having always been that the
buildings on the Bay shut off the breeze.
The races are later than last years
having been postponed on account Of the
encampment No entries have yet been
made from the board Of trade and the cot
ton exchange, though the Josie King and
the King Cotton are at their disposal.
