Detective Morgan Takes in a Couple
of Prisoners at a Haul.
Detective Morgan made double capture
on West Broad stPeet-last night. He was
shadowing an escaped convict, Lewis
Robinson (eolored), from Bryan county.
when he saw negrorush out OF Hesses
store at West Broad and York streets fol-
lowed by Mr.. Hesse.
AS be came out of the store the negro
dropped three or four packages on the side
walk, and ran down West Broad to Presi-
dent street, and across West Broad to
a saloon at Margaret street. Seeing no one
after him. he went into the saloon.
Detective Morgan had his escaped convict
under shadow there, but was unable to
handle both men at the same time.
Putting his assistants on the track of
Robinson, he went after the negro who had
come out Of Hesse's store. The negro sub
mitted quietly, and was taken to the store
and then TO the barracks, where charges
were preferred against him by Mr.. Hesse,
and he was locked up. A warrant
will be sworn out for him
to-day. He gave his name as
Henry Carter. He went into Hess IS store,
and, watching his opportunity, made a
grab for pile of socks and shoes. He got
hold Of couple OF packages OF socks ABOUT
dozen and half pairs, and package Of
shoe strings, and made break for the
street. Mr.. Hesse saw him and followed
him into the street. He recovered the
goods the negro dropped on the Sidewalk as
be went out, and gave up the chase. Detect
i've Morgan did the rest.
As the detective was returning from the
barracks, after having landed Carter there
be net Mounted Patrolman Baughn with
Robinson. The detectives men
had followed him out of the
store where Certer was arrested
and attempted TO arrest him. The negro re-
sisted and Policeman Baughn went to their
assistance Learning that be WAS wanted
by Detective Morgan, the patrolman took
him in. He will be held for the Bryan

TO BUILD NEW FORTS.
THE BOARD OF ARMY ENGINEERS
IN SAVANNAH.

An Inspection Of the Present FORTH
cations and the Approaches to Sa-
vanhah to Be Made for the Purpose
of Preparing a New Project of De-
fenses-Gen. Comstock Outlines the
work of the Board.
The board of engineers Of the United
States army, composed of Gen. Henry l..
Abbot, president; Gen. Cyrus B. Comstock,
Col. David C. Houston and Col. George L.
Gillespie, all officers Of the corps of en-
gineerS, will be here to-day and tomorrow
for the purpose Of preparing a project for
the defense Of the approaches to Savannah.
They will assemble to-day and tomorrow
morning will go down the river and inspect
Forts Oglethorpe aud Pulaski, the military
reservation on Tybee Island, and such other
places in the vicinity as are likely to prove
available for defensive purposes.
Capt. o. NJ. Carter will accompany the
members of the board on their trip of in-
specaon.
Gen. Comstock said last night that the
converting Of the board is for the purpose
OF inspecting the present forts, and all
places suitable for the erection of forts and
Notifications and making report upon the
same to the war department, the idea being
TO erect such Notifications as are necessary
for the defense the port In case of war
with foreign country.
Gen. Comstock said that such works will
be OF great Importance, and will naturally
be OF considerable magnitude, necessitating
considerable expenditure of money. They
will be according to the latest
methods OF defense in modern warfare.
which, on account Of the many changes,
will necessarily differ considerably from
the old style of forts
The report of the board will be made to
the chief of engineers of the army, and
will not be made public until published by
him. There is little doubt, however, that
Notifications of considerable magnitude
will be recommended, to be equipped with
modern guns and the latest appliances Of
war. The importance of Savannah as a
strategic point is recognized by the war de-
partment. and 1t will probably be one of
the first places to be fortified on the South
Atlantic coast.
Gen. Comstock said that after the recon-
mendations have been made, the war de-
partment will have to ask congress for an
appropriation for the work, and if granted
it will be two years or more before the work
can be begun here. So the people Of Savan-
nah need not expect to see the forts begin
TO rise along their river front Immediately.
The plans as recommended will doubtless
be adopted, however, and the forts erected
In time. Congress has hitherto been very
tardy in making appropriations for coast
defense, but the question is being more
strongly pressed upon 1t Of late.

highly by the press of the towns in which it
has played, and Savannah theater -goers
will no doubt give it generous patronage.

BAKING POWDER.
Look to the Weight.

Some brands of baking powder are so adul-
terated that IL OF. are almost equal in bulk to
10 o. of the absolutely pure Royal. These IL
OF. cans are being sold in many places for full
pounds, and thus the consumer is defrauded both
by short weight and an inferior article
Avoid all baking powders that require larger
cans than the Royal to hold an equal weight
This is sure evidence Of their adulteraton
Reject all baking powders except the Royal,
and full weight, greatest strength and absolute
purity will always be insured
