A WOMAN HELD AS A THIEF.
She is Suspected Of Long Series %
Jswerly Robberies.

Atlanta. Ga. July 3l.-Several leading
jewelry houses of this city have been
much disconnected for some time past by
the steady disappearance Of diamonds
and other valuable articles. The strictest
watch has been kept on clerks and en-
pioyes, but To no purpose. The fact
that the losses have not been confined 10
any one establishment showed that out
side parties We're the thieves but for
weeks the jewellers have been compelled
70 stand by and see themselves robbed
without being able TO spot the thief until
the losses have amounted 10
thousands of dollars. Detectives were
also batiied To-day, however, j. II.
Freeman of the Freeman Jcwelry Com
pany spotted the thief. who proved to be
a woman, and called in the city detectives.
During the morning Mrs l.. w. Doolittle,
the woman now under arrest, entered the
Freeman Companys store and her actions
were such as to arouse Mr.. Freeman sus-
picions. She was shown goods and agreed
TO return at o'clock in the afternoon.
When she came back and the goods were
shown her again she deXterOusly covered
several pieces of valuable diamond jew
elry with her handkerchief and
then conveyed it to her
pocket. Detectives saw the act
and arrested her. The goods were found
in her pocket, and the detectives are CON
fident that they now have the party who
has been creating the panic among the
jewellers.
Mrs. Doolittlc is the wife of a book
keeper for Lint & Lovelace, wholesale
grocers. She is of good family, of
handsome appearance, and about n years
of age Her husband appears to be over
whelmed at the discovery OF her con
duct. 1t is not yet known how much the
woman has stolen, but the amount is

MURPHY NOW NOT MISSING,
He Returns 10 Atlanta Voluntarily
and SuTTCldCTS.

He Reached the City Sunday Night
and Wrote to the Chief Of Police
That he Would Give Himself UP in
the Morning if Allowed to Remain at
Home The Chief Took Him at His
Word and Murphy Kept His
Promise
Atlanta. Ga. July 81. y. W. Murphy,
MANAGER of the Atlanta Provision Com
panv. who disappeared two weeks ago
under very heavy cloud of suspicion, re
turned last night to the city, and this
morning did the Harry Hill act by walk
inc into the sherif's Office and surrender
inc. Two warrants have been hanging
over Murphy's head since he left so
suddenly. and reward Of 800
was outstanding for his capture
The warrants charge him with larceny
after trust and cheating and swindling
They were taken out by stockholders OF
the Provision company, which he IS &C
cused Of having wrecked. The company
was organized six months ago, with a
paid-up capital of s47 900, with Murphy
who has been in various business enter
prises here for year, as manager. When
the concern went into a receivership two
weeks ago, it was found that not only was
the capital all gone, but the concern was
$50. 600 in debt with comparatively no as
sets as a result of Murphy's management,
and this despite the fact that the compa-
nv appeared to be doing a splendid bust
ness.
WHERE THE MONEY WENT A MYSTERY.
1t has not vet been discovered what be-
came of the funds. Some of the stock
holders assert that Murphy, who has
been assigned on other charges of crook
edness. used the money for his personal
account. and to pay off Indebtedness of
his faUher-in-law. a well known merchant.
Murphy refuses to talk about the case.
He will not say where he has been during
his absence. 1t is understood that some
of Murphy's relatives, who were also in
terested in the Provision company, have
been at work endeavOring to secure a
postponement of prosecution for while,
and on this condition the
wandering manager returned to
the city Murphy waived preliminary
trial, and was released on a bond of s., 600
this afternoon. Last night he wrote the
sheriff a note informing him of his pres
ence in the city and stating that he was
ready to surrender at once, but if allowed
to remain at home for the night would
call around to the sheriff's Office this
morning. The sheriff took him at his
word and allowed him to spend the night
at home.

Union Lumbermen try to Drive Non
Union Men from their Places.
Ashland. Wis, July 31.-The trouble
between the union and non-union men at
the lumber docks in this city eliminated
in a fight this morning in which a number
on both sides were injured. Saturday all
of the mill owners, excepting Mr. Shores,
gave in to the demands of the union men
for fifty cents an hour. Mr.. Shores re
fused fatty to pay it and stated that he
would get nOn-union help. These men
were put to work this morning, but no
sooner did the union men at work on
the other docks get wind of it
than they attacked Mr.. Shores
dock, which was guarded by the chief of
police sheriffs and his deputies A fierce
fight resulted, in which a number of nom
union men were badly dubbed and one
was shot. The men finally succeeded in
reaching a boat and put the nOn-union
men to rout. They returned to work, but
later about twenty of them were arrested
on various charges
Immediately after dinner the
proprietors Of the different saw
mills here including Judge Cochran Al
derman Payne and ex-MayOr Durfee
went to Shores mill and began assisting
to load lumber on the boat. 1t was Gu
rious sight to see the wealthy mill own
ers showing lumber, and the striking
union men made no attempt to modest
them.

in at noon to guard the mill owners while
they are at work.

r. Carter of the United States Marine
hospital service, now in Brunswick estab-
fishing a national quarantine station and
the officers detailed to examine into and
report on the case of fever on the bark
Anita Berwind, at the Conquest camps,
near the Satilla river, was seen this
evening by a Times reporter with refer
ence to rumors that have been
circulated to the effect that
yellow fever existed at Brunswick, and
which are supposed to have originated
from purpOrted interview with Surgeon
General Wyman, and asked to state the
facts in the case He authorized the
statement that there is not only no fever
in or about Brunswick, but that the cir
cumstances and treatment connected
with the Satilla river case were such
that Brunswick is and was as free from
any contamination with it as any other
southern city. He further said
that he made no report mentioning
the condition of the Brunswick
harbor or the city, and after a more
thorough acquaintance he regards the
city as free from sanitary faults as any
other seaport city. He further said. from
the many errors in the purported inter-
view with Surgeon-Gcn Wyman published
in Savannah, especially with reference
TO the Berwind case, that he is certain
that the remarks accredited to DR.. Wy
man must have been enormously re
ported. The Brunswick quarantine

RUMoRs OF FRAUD DENIED.
No Forged Certificates Issued by the
Northern Pacific Company.

Northern Pacific Company.
Duluth, Mimi, July 3L-George c.
Spencer, president Of the Lake Superior
Elevator Company, and Col. Graves,
formerly president of the same company,
and a director of the Northern Pacific
Elevator Company, deny in every detail
the story sent out from New York and
Boston that New England and New York
banks have been victimized by forged GER
titicates issued by the Northern Pacific
Company. There is absolutely no truth
in the story, said Mr.. Spencer. There has
been no Ovvcrissue of certificates and no
use of forged certificates as collateral in
New York or elsewhere. The only posi-
bic foundation for the story is the fact
that a plan for reorganization of the com
pany is under consideration under which
the debts of the Northern Pacific Com
pany will be taken up. Mr.. Kellogg,
of St. Paul, the attorney for the
company, has just returned from
Boston, where he submitted plan to the
banks that are creditors of the company.
The scheme for reorganization has been
accepted and is practically assured"
Col. Graves said: 1t is a sensational
story without any foundation or truth.
No forged certificates were ever issued or
used for collateral The Northern Pa
citc Company met with losses, but there
was nothing fraudulent in the matter"
