WELL FIXED WITH TORCHES.
A Suspicious Circumstance in Conneo-
ton With Saving the Central Train.

n Suspicious Circumstance in Connec-
ton With Saving the Central Train.
Henry Johnson probably thinks this is
% hard world. He IS the negro who
waved down passenger train No. 3 Of the
Central railroad from savannah 10 At
lanta, Monday night, a short distance
south Of Millen, an account of which
appeared In yesterdays MORNING
NEWS. The train was stopped by
the engineer, when he saw theuegro way
/ ing hliEht on the track in most
| vigorous manner. Johnson told the train
men that ne had discovered some white
men drawing the spikes from the ties
short distance ahead, and that
at the risk of death at
their hands he had stopped the
train and prevented a wreck with posi-
bic loss Of life and limb Johnson was
| invited to take a ride to Mlllen, which he
did and on arrival there was locked up
on the charge of having interfered with
the track himself.
Johnson is the same negro who stopped
the Atlanta train near the same spot some
time ago, with the information that he
had seen some white men piling crOsstles
by the track He was too late in his in
formation, however as the engine had al
ready crashed through the crossties,
smashing them into spllnters
and breaking the pilot of the en-
CINE. JOhnsOn's actions were regarded as
suspicious then, and he only received
thanks for his information.
One OF the circumstances that looked
hshy" In connection with JohnsOn's last
story, was that he had nice bundle Of
fat hghtwood torches prepared,
and was well equipped for the
purpose Of waving down trains. 1t

He Runs in the Sneak Thieves Who
Have Been Operating Freely.
Detective Morgas captured Andrew
Saxon, jim Wilson and HUMPHREY Myers
yesterday, the three sneak thieves who
have been carrying on their depredations
in the southern part of the city for some
time past
They are the negroes who entered the
house of Mr.. d. b. Lester on DraytOn
street day before yesterday morning
while the family was at breakfast, and
carried OF everything in sight in the
front hall.
Detective Morgan saw these men on
Tuesday night lOafing around the pawn
shops trying to dispose of their plumber
and as they acted in suspicious manner
he had one of his deputies shadow them
TO find out what they did with the articles.
He knew nothing OF the robbery of Mr.
Testers house until he saw it in the
MORNING NEWS yerterday, when he con
Cluded that these were the parties that
dlu the work He located them at once
and had them all in the barracks bynOOu.
He had learned just where they disposed
of the articles they had stolen, all OF
which were found and returned to Mr.
Lester. They were the same parties who
robbed the house of Mr. b. Northcim on
the same day.
One OF the negroes, Myers, made a
clean breast of the whole affair. He said
they were the parties who had commit
TED the robbery at Mr.. Testers, and also
at the other place. II seems that these
depredatious have been going on sys-
tematically in the neighborhood of An
| derson street and The commons for
sometime past, and many complaints
have been entered with regard TO the
| numerous thieves in that neighborho0d
! Myers said that they were the three men
who had been doing oil the work, and he
number OF other places they had entered
and robbed OF various articles. II seems
! that Detective Morgan caught the three
worthless in trap, and Myers mad no
other course but TO tell the whole story.

CHRISTIE CAN'T BE FOUND.
A Canvasser for a Watch Dealer Fails
to Come to Time.

to Come 70 Time.
A warrant was sworn out in Justice
Elsingers court yesterday by Mr.. A. F.
Flint, the jcwoler, charging Frank
Christie with the larceny Of number Of
papers and circulars This is the second
warrant issued against Christie in so
many days
Christie started out a week or
so ago as CauyasSer for
Mr.. Flint. He gave him. as
"a reference Manager w. A Hemphill of
the Atlanta Constitution but Mr. Hemp
hill in answering Mr. Flnts letter re
fused TO recommend him. Christie was
given a trial, however, and started off ap-
parCntly with the intention of hustling
up trade He failed to show up for some
time and Mr. Flints became suspicious
and swOre out a warrant for his arrest.
1t seems that a bailif went TO arrest
Christie on a warrant the day before and
while waiting for him Christie left the
house by the back way and has not been
seen since. The officers here are after
him, however, and it may go hard with
him if canght.
Mrs. Christie, his wife became indig-
nant on account of a statement published
in another paper day or two ago that she
had given bailiff a drink and a cigar
while aiding her husband to escape The
bailif it seems was a negro. She went to
Justice Elsnger's Office yesterday and de-
nounced the statement as a malicious lie.
She said she had merely given hima pa
per, and had handed her husband his hat
and umbrella and told him 10 escape, as
she weuld not see him arrested by a negro
bailif

L. L. HOVER DEAD.
He Was Found in Bed in the Early
Morning With Life Extinct.

He Was Found in Bed in the Early
Morning With Life Extinct.
Mr.. L. i. Hover was found dead in his
bed yesterday morning at Anderson and
West Broad streets. He died sometime
during the night, but when or how his
death occurred is not known.
Mr. Hover death was probably due to
overhead, as it is known that a number of
deaths have been caused in that way
during the present hot spell. Coroner
-&aughtin was summoned, but after hear
ing the facts in the case, decided that an
inquest was Unnecessary and gave a
certificate of death accordingly.
A number of people who saw Mr. How
er's body, thought, from the fact that it
had turned purple in many places, that
there had been some foul play, and so
suggested TO Coroner Naughtin. A ply
stefan was consulted and he reported that
the dark color was caused by congestion,
which often sets in in such cases. This
was satisfactory and no further investi-
CATION was held.
MIR. Hover was 6S years of age. He
leaves a wife and one child He was a
partner in the firm of Maui Il Hover,
whose store is located in the building ad-
joining the house in which Mr. Hover
lived. Mr.. Hover was quite well known
in the city and was an old war member of
the Georgia Hussars.

Tried 10 Crack A Rarroom.

An attempt was made to break into j.
D. Curtis barroom at Bryan and Whita-
ker streets at 2:30 o'clock this morning.
The glass was broken out of the door on
the Whitaker street side, evidently to
get at the lock on the inside.
The crash and the falling glass attrac-
ted the attention of the police and the
thief fed. The window on the Whitaker
street side was also open. Nothing inside
was disturbed. An officer took charge of
the place for the night.

coLoRED PEOPLE HEALTHY.
The Mortality Among Them Less Las
Month Than Ever Known.


Health Officer Drummer says that the
death rate of the colored population last
month was less than he has ever known
it to be. For the first time since he has
been in charge of the health Office the
monthly death rate of the negro popula.
ton failed to exceed that of the whites
There We're the same number of deaths
for both races, 36 each.
This appears the more unusual when il
is known that the death rate of the color
ed population for June, 1892, was u, OF
exactly twice what il was last month.
No explanation is given of the unusual
good health of the colored people.
The physicians report, however, that
the general health of the city this sum
mer has been very good, and that there is
much less sickness than in the spring OF
fall. This is generally the case, how
