ONE Of the eommendabls features of
Postmaster General BIssEIL's report is his
advocacy Of a curtailment Of second
class mail matter. The abuse Of the
privilege has become mOnstrous; and it
is to the credit Of the late Postmaster
General WANAMAKER that he fought one
big concern bitterly, and to the discredit
Of the present Administration that as
soon as 1t was in power 1t accorded to
the firm the privilege Mr.. WANAMAKER

BAD USE OF The MAILS.
D. A. TiSOn Charged With Using Them
to SWindle Savannah Merchants.

A Conspiracy That Has Been Going
on for Years-The Way 1t Become
Rnown-Fancy Letter Heads With
Names Of Fictitious Firms Used to
Defraud Merchants - Tison to Be
Given a Hearing Before Commits
sioner Connolly To-day.
The arrest of ID. A. Tison at RiXville
yesterday by Deputy Marshal Buckner Of
the United States court is believed TO be
the solution of a conspiracy which has
been going on for years to defraud mer-
chants by use of the United States mails.
The charge against Tison grew out of a
report made TO Postoffice Inspector John
w. Bulla by MIR. II. Il. Cohen and other
merchants here, who stated that they had
lost goods by shipping them to firms
which existed only on paper. The scheme
was very smoothly worked, and though it
has been going on for sometime it was
hard matter TO locate the guilty party.
The charge is made that Tison has had
fancy bill heads and letter heads printed
with such firm names as Hutchinson IL
Co. and others, which were equally tic-
titiouS, and on the face of these has or
dered goods from different merchants
stationery After securing the goods the
firm would be heard of no more under the
same name, and it was impossible to
make a collection for the goods thus sold
Several parties have been swindled in
this way.
Mr. Cohen shipped fine buggy on such
an order as this, but never received pay
ment for it and could get no satisfaction
whatever from the cOnsignee, who
ever he was Through his re
port of the matter to In
spector Bulla the case against Tison was
worked up, and night before last Deputy
Marshal Buckner went up the Central
railroad to Rixville to make the arrest.
Tison was brought down last night and
committed to Jail in default of bail by
United States Commissioner M. A. Con-
molly. His preliminary examination will
probably take place this morning, though
it may be deferred day or two. Tison
expected last night to be able to give bail
at once, and he will probably secure it in
q day or two.

HIS LAST TURN AT THE ENGINES.
Nacoochee's Chief Engineer Stricken
with Apoplexy on Shipboard

Thaddeus c. Marshall, chief engineer
of the steamship Nacoochee, died at the
Presbyterian hospital in New York last
Monday night from apoplexy. His
funeral took place last night from his
late residence, Aston Place, Jersey City
Heights
Mr. Marshall's death was peculiarly
sad. He was one of the oldest engineers
in the Ocean Steamship Companvs en-
ploy, having been with it since the COM
pany was organized. On the last trip
from Savannah to New York, Capt.
Smith and Mr.. Marshall were standing
on deck as the ship was nearing the DER
sey coast The weather was thick, and
they were watching the outlines of the
shore. 1t was Sunday afternoon, and
both were discussing the probability of
reaching their families down at the
beaches that night.
Mr. Marshall went 10 his room to con-
suit a railroad schedule. Capt. Smith
was standing by his side at the engineers
desk when Mr.. Marshall dropped his
head on his arm and complained of feel
ing unwell A few minutes later he be-
gan gasping and breathing heavily. After
that he never spoke. Capt. Smith took
him in his arms and laid him on a sofa,
and everything that it was possible to do
for him on shipbOard was done, but he re-
manned unconscious At quarantine a
message was sent to the Presbyterian
hospital to have an ambulance at the dock
on the arrival of the steamer
The ship arrived late in the evening
and Mr. Marshall was taken at once to
the hospital. His case was pronounced
by the physicians hopeless. Mrs. Mar
shall was telegraphed for at Asbury
Park, and she reached her husbands
bedside the next morning. His life was
slowly ebbing, and he died Monday night,
thirty-two hours after the fatal attack.
MIR Marshall was 53 wears old. He was
born in New Baltimore, n. y,
where his aged father and mother reside
Both are 81 years old and are hardly ex-
pected TO survive the shock of their son 8
death. Mr. Marshall leaves, besides
his widow and parents, sister,
who was with him when he died.
His wife's sorrow is rendered more keen
by the recent death of her only son, John
B. Marshall. Mr.. Marshall was mem

which port he had been running for over
a quarter of a century.

TO INVESTIGATE TODAY.
The Commissioners VIII Look Into
the Charges of Cruel Treatment.

The Commissioners win Look Into
the Charges of Cruel Treatment.
An investigation of the statement Of
Charles Thompson, the ex-convict, who
claims he was brutally whipped while on
the county chain-gang the-early part Of
last week. was held at the court house
yesterday morning by DR. I. ]. Charlton,
chairman of the county commissioners
committee ON chain-gang.
The investigation was held principally
to allow the negro to make his statement
and to determine about holding an in
vestigation before the board. The negro
claims he received $50 lashes within three
days, yet he was able to walk down TO the
county commissioners Office to make his
complaint right after his discharge. The
investigation was held, too for the pur-
pose Of determining who are the witnesses
in the case in order that they could be
duly summoned
The examination il is said. showed few
scars on the negrO's back, but there was no
evidence of the brutal treatment he
claimed had been administered. In re
gard to the report that DR.. Chisholm, the
county physician. stated that the negro
had received twenty-One cuts on his back,
that his condition was the worst he had
ever seen, that it was a sickening sight TO

no cuts or gashes. II was not the most

a very simple matter, that has nothing
serious about it.
The county commissioners will meet at
10 clock this morning for the purpose Of
holding a public investigation Of the
charge. All the guards alleged to have
been concerned in the matter have been
summoned, and a rigid investigation of
the matter will be conducted. 1t is not
believed there is foundation for any seri-
Gus complaint, but the commissioners are
tired of rumors and reports, said one of
them yesterday, and they are going TO
get at the facts if there are any worth
knowing.
Commissioner Carson has suggested

the camp to determine and set at rest all
reports and rumors about cruel treatment

The charges against the four Electric
railway conductors and motto rmen of as
saulting and cutting John Coleman, col
ored, at the Central railroad depot Satur-
day night, July Il, were, dismissed by the
recorder yesterday morning, The evil
dence showed that the conductors at

the car, because Of his boisterous conduct,
when Coleman went 10 his assistance.
The evidence also showed that Bradley
was the only one in the crowd who had n

The Electric Railway Advertising Fc
Conductors.

The Electric Railway Advertising For
Conductors.
The advertisement of the Electric rail-
way yesterday for boys Is to 20 years old
to run as conductors created considerable
comment. President Collins could not be
seen last night. A director who was
asked the meaning of the advertisement
said he knew nothing about it.
The conductors on the line at present are
shaking in their shoes because of the ad
vertisement, so one of them said last
night. The expectation is, he said. that
all the old conductors will be discharged,
and their places taken by boys at less
money than is paid the present employees.
The Electric railway conductors are now
paid $3.50 a day Younger men can be
secured to fill the positions, it is said, at
rs cents a day.
The city ordinance governing the con-
duct of street railways was recently
amended by council so as to allow of the
employment of conductors of not less than
IS years of age, the minimum age having
formerly been p years. This was done
at the instance of the Electric railway.
The present fight between the two street
railway systems, of course, makes it
necessary for them to economize at every
point, but it is little hard on the con-
ductors who have already learned the

A convention of the magiatrates or
Justices of the peace of Georgia,
will be held in Atlanta next
Wednesday, Aug. /. The Savannah
Justices of the peace held meeting yes
terday at the Office of Justice Naughtin,
on Bryan street, for the purpose of de-
Gliding on the matter of delegates to the
convention. 1t was decided that Chatham
should be represented. and Justices Nc
Dermott Reynolds and Warning Russell,
Jr., were chosen to represent the county.
The delegates, after transacting business
in their convention will probably remain
over TO the state convention, which is to
be held in Atlanta the next day.
There is a one and one-third rate for
those who attend the democratic guberna-
tOrial convention, and to those justices
who remain over to the convention which
dominates the governor this fare will be
allowed.
The president of the convention is
Justice Bloodworth of Atlanta, who was
elected at the meeting last year. The
secretary is Judge Il. l.. Rodgers, or
rather was, since he has resigned and
there has been no one elected TO fill his
position. There will DE number of i'm
portant questions to arise, says the Con-
stitution, and among them will be the

much trouble to the justices, and has
brought much criticism upon them from
people who do not thoroughly understand

rection. The justices of the peace are
Just as anxious to have this law straifiht-
ened out until il Is more acceptable as are

ROBBED HIS EMPLovER.
A Trusted Porter Arrested for Steal

ing From a Store.
Detective Bossell arrested j. L. Jack
son and Smart Heywrad, colored, yester
day morning. jackson is charged with
robbing his employer, Mr.. George Die
ter, and Hayward, a colored drayman, is
charged with assisting him in carving
off the goods. Mr. Dieter, who runs a
store at Barnard and st. Julian streets,
has been missing articles for some time
but could not account for their disappear
ance. He informed Detective Bossell of
his losses and asked him to investigate
the matter. The detective was not long
in discovering that jackson was the thief
and thathe was aided by Hayward, and
that the two had been retailing the
stolen goods to small grocery stores
through the city. He arrested both par
ties yesterday morning.
jackson had been in the employ of the
house through successive changes of the
firm for the last fifteen years and was
regarded as thoroughly honest. MIR.
Dieter was very much surprised when in
formed that he was the thief. The evil
dence, however, seems to be conclusive.
jackson had the duty of opening up the
store every morning before Mr.
Dieter came down. Hayward, so
Detective Bossell says, would be
around with his dray, and a caddy of to-
bacco or a couple of hams would be
slipped aboard, and would sbe out of sight
before Mr.. Dieter's arrival. The thefts are
believed to have been going on for three
months or more, in which time Mr. Die
ter has lost a considerable quantity of
goods. The arrests were made early yes
terday morning, but the hearing in the
police court was postponed until this

A Barkeeper Admits Selling Liquor
Sunday and Hands Over 800.

There were no saloon cases before the

known salooDkeeper in the eastern part
of the city, however, who was put on the
docket by the "high roller" for selling
liquor on Sunday before last, called at
the city exchange in the morning and &C
knowledged his guilt He handed over
500, the amount of his fine. The name
of the saloonkeeper was withheld and as
the information docket is not open for
public inspection, it could not be obtained
The high roller" appears to be more
effective in his work than Levy and his
predecessors. Bessie Sherman, who
was placed on the docket on two charges
of retailing liquor at her place on Wayne
street, skipped the town without even
waiting to be served with a notice to ap-
pear in court.
Lizzie Lawrence, who is also on the
docket on two charges, did not appear in
court yesterday morning, but sent doc
tors certificate to the effect that she was
too i'll to leave the house. The evidence
against Lizzie is said to be positive, and
it is also said that the same charge can
be proved in several other instances.
