The cactus loves a dry soil and does
not object to alkali. In early summer
the Western plains are brilliant with the
yellow and rose colored blossoms of this
curious plant. But it will often thrive
in the moister soil aud showery climate
of the East. In the field south of the
Rocking Stone in Bronx Park dozens of
cacti are to be found, small specimens

a CONVICT DROPS DEAD.
Albert Thompson, the Sailor stealer
at Camp No. I, Succumbs to Heat.

Albert Thompson, the Sailor Stealer
at Camp No. l, Sucoumbs to Heat.
Albert Thompson, who was sent up
from the city court on charge or har-
boring refugee sailors last January fell
dead yesterday while working on the new
Casey canal near camp No. l, where he
has recently been stationed.
Thompsons death was due to sun
stroke. He has probably been unaccus-
toned to severe manual labor and the
heat proved too much for him He went
out to work yesterday morning as usual,
and apparently in as good condition as
ever. He was digging on the Casey canal
some distance from the camp when,
about 1880 in the morning, some
of the convicts around him saw him fall
suddenly to the ground. When they
reached him he was still breathing, but
could hardly speak and could not raise
himself. He was taken to the camp,
where he died few minutes later. His
death was due to sunstroke, according to
the attending physicians.
Thompson was sentenced to twelve
months on the caingang in the city court
last January. He was convicted of sailor
stealing. Thompson was an old timer at
this business, and it was he who was
charged with assisting the Austrian bark
Sirena with getting away with Francis
d. Wheat, who recently brought suit
against that bark for improper treatment.
Some how or other Thompson was
never sent 10 camp, but was allowed to
remain in the Jail. The reason for this
was that he was found to be a good cook
and as an accommodation TO the Jail Of
ticials he was allowed TO remain there and
do this work for the prisoners. About a
month ago, however, he was transferred
to camp No. !, whore he has been atwork
ever since. He had served nearly six
months of his sentence.
The ease was peculiar one in that the
negro died of what was said to be sun
stroke Cases of sunstroke and death
from that source are exceptional among
the negro population

ters of Abraham Gets the Funds.
Justice Naughtin's court was overrm
yesterday with the members of the
famous colored society, the Sons and
Daughters of Abraham.
They were after their money which
was in possession Of Liza Gordon, the
treasurer, who had refused to give it up
until her successor in office had been in
stalled. This society runs what is known
as the Alma Mater Institute, a colored
educational institution, at $50 Duffy
street.
AT the annual meeting in February
Sarah Blake was elected treasurer She
refused to be installed before the money
had been turned over, and under the
rIles of the society she could not receive
the funds until she had been installed
For this reason Liza Gordon, the prede-
cessOr of Sarah Blake, refused to turn
the money over. Thereupon President
Robert Knowles Of the society swore out
a possessOry warrant for the money,
badges and cards in Iiza's possession,
which she refused to give up, and as she
could not give bond Justice Naughtin
committed her to Jail, where she re
NAMED up to last Monday.
The society secured the services of
George Owens, Esq, and Mr. VIM. Pease
and Mr., p. J. O'COnnor represented the
defendant The case was called last
week, but Liza failed to produce the prop
erty in court and Justice Naughtin refused
to try the case.
Yesterday, however, her attorneys
having advised her that it was best to
bring in the property, the case was called
IN Judge Naughtin's court and the prop
erty was placed in his hands. The So
ciety wanted the funds placed in the
hands Of the newly-elected treasurer, but
the defense argued that she had not been
installed and therefore could not. under
the rules of the society. take possession.
Justice Naughtln held under the cir
cumstances that Liza Gordon was treas
urer de facto, and that under the cir
cumstances and according to law she was
entitled to the possession Of the property
until Sarah Blake had been installed If
Sarah will just drop down peg and agree
to the performance Of the installmcnt
ceremonies first she will then be lawfully
entitled to demand that the funds be
turned over to her.

T tins court yesterday and had woman
named Ruth Frances sent for. stating
that she had taken Sl5 from him and he
wanted Justice Naughlin 10 SETTLE the

had fuss last Tuesday
and wanted to settle it by ar
/ bitration before the Justice They
could come to no terms of agreement, and
finally stepped outside the Office to CON
suit few minutes. This seemed to have
little effect, and they were back again in
a few minutes.
"Well, what are you going to dor" they
were asked.
Meyer first wanted 10 know who would
have 10 pay the costs in the case, aud
upon being informed that they would prob
ably fail upon him. he replied that he
was financially unable TO stand them, as
Miss Frances had all his money.
wen, 1t won't cost YOU anything to
take out a warrant, said Justice Naugh-
TN. do you want yvarrdntt'
II it don't cost anything, ] do"' Meyer
replied.
What are you going to charge her
Wlth!' was the next question.
Larceny from the house, Judge, she
stole Sl5'
Meyer was informed that as he was in
the house with her he would have to
modify his charge. Meyer then made it
theft, and it was finally put down at plain
larceny
Meyer swore to the best of his knowl-
&c and belief that Ruth Frances had
tolen SIS from him. She said
She was ready TO give bond and a
friend who was with her went out for
bOndsmau.
Are you Through with me, Judge?"
asked Meyer
Yes, ~ was the reply
Hold on" said Ruth, II want to take
out peace warrant for him." and Meyer
was called back. The peace warrant was
duly sworn TO and signed and Meyer was
caught in his own box He said the
woman had told falsehood when she
said he had threatened her and that the
warrant was taken out for nothing but
vengeance.
Can you give a bond for 5000" asked
Justice Naughtin.
Il reckon not Judge" Meyer replied,
IN go to Jail" He went that way while
she gave her bond and went free.
Thus ended lovers quarrel. One went
TO jail on peace warrant and the other
rests under charge of larceny, while the

WILL HOLD THE SECURITIES

The Mercantile Trust Co., Willing to
Act as Trustee Until a Plan is
Formed.
The Mercantile Trust Co., has agreed
to hold all the securities which have
been deposited in its charge until some
new plan for the re-organizati of the
Central property is forthcoming They
will hold the securities without any
charge to the owners whatever.
In the meantime however, if any par
ties desire to withdraw their securities
they are at liberty to do so and can get
them back on presentation of the negotia-
Bile certificates without any charge what
ever. The owners Of the securities have
been at no expense whatever.
The probability is, however, that most
of the owners will leave their deposits
with the Mercantile Trust Co pending the
Termination OF new plan. The Southern
Bank still has some of the negotiable re-
ceipts which will be exchanged for tenn
pOrarY receipts to the parties to whom
issued, and which must be obtained be-
fore the securities can be withdrawn.

TO BE SOLD OUT.
The Stock of George & woeltjen to go
at Public Sale July 81.

An order was granted by Judge FALL
CANT yesterday for the sale of the stock
of George 81 Woeltjen, consisting of
liquors, wines, cigars, pipes, etc, whose
place Of business is located at Jefferson
and Liberty streets.
The order was granted under a petit
ton and mortgage filed about a week ago.
The mortgage was for $3.50 6S, in favor of
p. H. Ward trustee, and an execution
was issued for the amount The store
was taken in charge and closed up by the
sheriff.
1t now turns out that the defendant
failed to replevin the goods and that the
officers of the court could find neither of
the prOprietOrs when they went to look
for them. The order was, therefore,
granted by Judge Fulligant fixing July
81 as the date, at such time between the
legal hours of sale and place as may be
