ON TRACK OF THE ROBBERS.
Mr.. J. q. Nelson Receivers His Watch
Stolen From His Room.


Detective Wetherhorn is on track of
the burglars who have been operating
south of Anderson street. MIR J. G. Mel
sons residence on Eighth street was
robbed last week. The burglars entered
Mr.. Nelson's room and going through his
clothing took his watch and some small
change from his pockets.
A description of the watch was left at
the pawn shops. Fortunately two ne
groes presen ted the watch at a shop on
once and the negroes were arrested
They claimed to have got the watch
from another negro, who was arrested
later on by Detective Wetherhorn and
who claimed to have been given the watch
by still another.
Detective Wetherhorn hopes by the
clew he has obtained, to run down the
robbers who have been robbing and
plundering the houses in that part of the
city.
In spite of the officers the robberies
keep up. Mr.. w. M. Clevelaud's house,
No. 81 Duffy street, was entered night
before last, before the family had retired
and while they were sitting on a piazza.
The robber climbed upon an
ad dining roof and into a
window, securing an entrance in
that way. He got away with several
dollars, taken from MIR. Cleveland's vest,
which was in his room. The thief es-
capped without detection and without
leaving any clew.

DIDN'T TALK POLITICS.
Lawyer Hayward Says He Is Not OPP
posed to Sunday Laws.

Lawyer Hayward Says He Is Not OPP
posed to Sunday Laws.
With reference to the case in the city
court Friday against T. Sampson, for vio-
latlon of Sunday laws, MIR. Hayward his
counsel, desires to say that he did not ad-
vocate the repeal of all Sunday laws, So
called, but his contention in the case
before the court was that the matter was
TOO small an affair for the law to punish
IN SO severe manner, and that in the
sunday selling of such articles as fruit,
cigars, etc, no great wrong could be done,
and that the cities should control the
matter, without reference to the state
courts.
MIR. Hayward says that nothing con-
corning politics was said during the trial
OF the case, the judge simply sustaining
me objections of the solicitor general to
counsel commenting on certain points,
which, in his opinion. were not brought
OUT by the evidence, and which certainly
mad no political bearing whatever.

BULLOCK ALL RIGHT.
Democrats Having Everything Their
Own Way In That County.

Statesboro, Ga, July lathe Bulloch
Banner, readhot Georgia populist paper,
has gone to the wall for lack Of support.
The paper has been run for long time
under a strain. 1t is thought TO have
been supported by a few defeated county
officials who intended to use IL to aid
themselves in getting back into office.
II is thought that the democratic nomi-
nee for representative will have no oppo-
sition. The leaders Of the third party
here have been on wild hunt for the
past month in search Of a candidate, but
as yet no one has been found. They have
narrowed down now 10 soliciting promi-
nent democrats To allow them 10 make
one Of them their standard bearer. but
this will all fail. This city is democratic
by large ma GRITTY, and it is thought now
that October will lind all the better Gle
ment Of the populists supporting Atkin-
son, as there is a noticeable coldness
toward Hines men in the third party
ranks.

To GO on Seven Houra.

A reduction in the hours of work will
go into effect at the Savannah, Florida
anda Western railway shops tomorrow.
The men will be put on seven hours time
instead Of ten hours, as heretofore, and
the pay will be reduced proportionately.
The reason for the cut in hours is under
stood to be on account of the dullness of
the season with the railroads. giving en-
ployment to less rolling stock, and conse-
quently causing less wear and tear to be
repaired at the shops. The work hours
here will be from a. m. TO .. m.

The Fans Are Bound to Have Base
Ball ANYHOW.

Bell ANYHOW.
A city base ball league is
contemplated to be formed of six
clubs, the Grocers, Electric Rail
ways, Hercules, Alphas, Bay
Streets and Dixies. 1t is proposed to
play twelve games, each club pla wing
two games a week, until the series is
ended.
meeting of the clubs will be held
Wednesday night and arrangements
will then be make for the games.
MI J. S. Collins is said to be taking an
active interest in the league, and will
tender the grounds to the clubs. The
members of the clubs will request MIR
Collins to be president of the league.
Several mem bers have already arranged
for the government of the series. They
propose that each club pay $40 into the
treasury. and that the $50 be presented to
the winning club at the end of the series
of games. The gate receipts will be di-
vided between the clubs playing at each
game, the winners to receive 60 per cent
and the losers 40 per cent. The price of
admission for gentlemen and boys will be

Such logic the Senate conferees cannot
resist with honor to themselves They
must call the bluff if bluff it is, and
calling it, all the indications ara that not
enough democrats Of the Senate can be
found who will be willing TO defeat all
tariff legislation for the sake of a diff
ferential duty for the beneht of the sugar
trust. The vote Of the louisiana senator's
will be secured by a "hat' IS per cent

TO Weld to the House on the vital points

on the tariff. The firm attitude of the
House conferees, backed by Speaker
Crisp and President Cleveland, has dunn

IN BR1rA1N's PARLIAMENT.
Closure Asked for on the Evicted Ten
ants Bill.

London, July 3l.--In the House of Com
mons to-day Sir William Harcourt, chan
cellor OF the exchequer, the government
leader. moved the close Of the debate on
the evicted tenants bill and to apply the
guillotine to certain sections in order that
the business Of the session might be
finished by Aug. 8.
A. j. Balfour, the conservative leader,
protested against what he classed as
unprecedented gagginR" and moved, as
an amendment, that the House regretted
the adoption of methods which deprived
the minority Of It's just rights
The motion and the amendment caused
high feeling in the lobbies OF the House
The Irish members were not pleased, and
they expressed fear that the course
pursued by the government would fur
nish the lords with reason 10 reject the
bill
Bnlfour's amendment was rejected by
a vote Of 2i7 TO IA. Harcourt's motion
was then agreed TO without division.
In the debate Mr.. Balfour spoke. with
great warmth and predicted that the
House Of Lords would certainly re ect the
bill He also referred TO the Irish public
as the suffering dupes OF their representa-
tives in parliament, who only desired a
quarter Of million OF British money TO
exc out the Paris funds. The speech was
continually greeted with cheers and radi-
cal cries.
Mr. Morley followed Mr. Balfour, but
the confusion became so great while he
was talking that his voice could not be
heard.
Mr. Courtney, who was in the chair,
finally restored order, and made a digui-
fed appeal for compromise and concilia.
tion blaming both sides for their irrecon-
cilable attitude upon an urgent question.
Mr. Iabouchere described the debate
as an exhibition Of fireworks. He said
that Irishmen were dissatisfied with the
turn Of events, which, he declared, would
nullify their amendments.

adoption Of Sir William HarcOurt's mo-

TILLMAN's DESPERATE TILT.
To Move Heaven and Earth to Estab.
lish the Dispensaries.


Columbia, S. c., July 3l.-The state ad-
ministration is making every effort to get
a favorable decision on the dispensary act
of 1898, under which Gov. Tillman will
open the dispensaries throughout the
state tomorrow Attorney Brunson, for
Silver, the man accused of selling liquor
without license appeared before
Federal District Judge Simonton on last
Thursday and asked for the release of
his client alleging the unconstitutionality
of the act, and the violation of a treaty
between the United States and Russia
Judge Simonton reserved his decision,
but it is generally believed that he
will sustain the act, as in
a similar case last year he sustained the
act of 1898.
Ex-Sheriff Holley was appointed chief
state constable to-day and left for
Charleston this afternoon, where he will
be at the opening of the dispensary to-
morrow Constable Holley wore his
badge of Office on the lapel of his coat,
and expresses himself as determined to
enforce the law, but he says that milder
measures will be used than before, and
that there will be none of the barroom
raids by an armed cOnstabulary unless
the enforcement of the law absolutely re-
quires 1t. All bars are expected to close
tonight throughout the state. There is
not the least excitement anywhere, and
no immediate trouble is expected.
