a HAoKMAN TURNS THIEF.
A Savannah Lady Loses Her Jewels
in Macon.

IN Macon.
Mrs. r. L. Colding Of Savannah had
the misfortune to lose her Jewels while
passing through Macon the other night
The manner in which the loss occurred
was rather peculiar.
Mr.. Edward Mcintyre. who had been
spending some time at Warm Springs for
his health, was being brought back TO his
home at Marlowe, accompanied by his
daughter, Mrs. COlding, his son. Mir. w.
Il. Mcintyre, and DR. NJ T. Davis.
The party arrived in Macon by the
East Tennessee railroad Saturday night
and u was necessary TO transfer across
the city 10 the Central depot. The va
Uses and satchels belonging to the party
were given In charge of the Brown house
porter who placed them in the front part
of the hack in which MIR Mcintyre and
his daughter were seated. When the
party left the train Mrs COlding gave the
satchel containing her Jewels to DR.
Davis. After seeing Mr.. Mcintyre com
fortably fixed DR.. Davis started TO take
another hack which he had ordered the
Brown house porter to have in readiness
for him.
Here is your hack. sir, said a negro
who was standing beside the porter on
the sidewalk. Thinking that the negro
was connected with the hotel DR. Davis
handed him the satchel to hold for a min
ute while he arranged some things in the
hack Before getting into the hack. how
ever, he was called to the one occupied by
Mr.. Mcintyre, who insisted upon his rid
ing down with him. Not thinking of the
satchel at the time DR. Davis got in and
rode down with Mr.. Mcintyre. Before
reaching the Central depot, however, he
remembered that he mad left the satchel
with the negro hackman. He ascertained
the name of the man from the driver of
the hack which he was in, and as soon
as he arrived at the Central depot started
out to do a little detective work He
found that the name of the negro to
whom he had given the satchel was Sam
Barden
Several hackmen were standing in
front of the depot when he arrived. He
announced that he wanted a hack at once
and asked for Sam Barden. That worthy
who had just arrivedfrom the East Tonnes
see depot rushed up at once, expecting to
secure fare. He found himself deceived,
however, as he was immediatel put un-
der arrest. He did not have the satchel
with him, however. and denied all knowl-
edge OF 1t. 1t was supposed that he had
handed it to a confederate be-
fore coming over to the Cen
trail depot. Chief Butner of the
Macon police was notified and responded
In person with several detectives. Every
enort was made to find the satchel, but
without avail. DIR. Davis said yesterday
that the promptness and activity of Chief
Butner and his aides was very commend
able Barden and four other hackmeh
were taken in custody.
DIR. Davis came on to Savannah with
Mr.. Mcintyre. He received a telegram
from Chief Butner last night saying that
he had not been able to obtain any trace
of the satchel or its contents as yet. The
value of the jewels in the satchel was
about $500

A BIG ENGLISH FORTUNE.
Said TO Have Been Left to a Georgia
Family.

The Hazard Estate Which May Go to
Relatives of That Name in Georgia
Said to Be Worth Many MilIions-A.
B. Hazard of Poolsr and Solicitor
General Fraser Among the Legal
Heirs-The Matter Now Being In
vestigated.
Every now and then a rumor comes
from England or from somewhere on the
other side, of some large fortune left by
persons who die intestate, and whose
nearest known relatives are residents of
ONE portion of America.
Some times it develops that these re-
ports are worth investigating, and then
again it turns out that some lawyer is
prosecutiong a scheme for the purpose of
turning a few shekels at the expense of
the credulous.
A recent report of fortune in which
several people in this section are in
terested is now being investigated. The
Hazard estate left in England is re-
ported to be valued at $4,000, 900.
This was the valuation rumor
placed on it some years ago when a
search was being made forthe heirs.
ROUsING ESTATE.
Another story puts it at $40, 900, 900, but
OF the amount nothing known is certain.
A Hazard estate was left and without a
will, and it is believed that the Hazard
family, which lived in this section of
Georgia, is heir to whatever there may be
of such an estate.
Recently a New York attorney left his
business and went down to Atlanta for
the purpose of seeing Mrs. Julia White,
formerly a Miss Hazard who lived
near Darien. His object was to
get the genealogy and establish the
relationships, which is necessary before
the English courts will take any action n
the matter This has led TO an invesJiga-
ton of the matter.
PooLERITE IN IT.
Col. A. B, Hazard, formerly of Savan-
nah, who now lives in Pooler, is Mrs.
Whites uncle. Solicitor General Fraser,
who is related to the family through mar
riage, would also be interested in the find
ing of such large estate, and the share
of his family would be considerable. The
matter is now in his hands, and though
he does not give too much Gre
dence to the report of the
existence of an estate of such fabulous
value in which he would be a sharer, he
will probably reach the conclusion that
VIC L1hbVSA 10 WIZ VI lOOhlLB AuIO
TO HUNT UP THEIR GENEALoGY.
According to the attorney who visited
Mrs. White in Atlanta, all that has to be
done is to get up the genealogy of the
Hazard family in Georgia and establish
its relationship with those by whom the
estate was left.
If there is any foundation in the re-
port, which places the figures anywhere
from el5,000,000 to ESQ, OOO,0 600, and the
matter can be properly traced up with all
the necessary legal proofs, it may be that
within a year or two Georgia will have
one or two more millionaires than the
state contains at the present writing.

ESCAPED WHAT He FEARED
Robert Howard Will Meet No Worldly
Punishment.

His Death at the Georgia Infrmary
Puts Him Beyond the Power Of the
Law-His Peculiar Reasons for Hav-
ing Ended His own Life - The
Woman Ee Shot is Getting Better
and Will Probably Recover.
Robert Howard is dead at last, and is
free from that earthly punishment
which he so much dreaded that he took
his own life after making a murderous
assault on Grace Rhodes.
He died at the Georgia Inirmary,
where he has been since the shooting,
between 10 and II o'clock Monday night.
Being delirious and almost unconscious
several hours before his death he had
little TO say upon the subject in his last
moments
The case is undoubtedly one of the
most peculiar in the annals of
Chatham county crime. Thursday
morning, Aug %, he went to the resi-
deuce Of a gentleman for whom Grace
Rhodes was working as cook, and after a
few words he recklessIy fired after her
four shots from his revolver, with which
he afterward inflicted upon himself the
wounds that produced his death. He
made some accusations against the
woman which were denied and said he
shot her because she had deserted him
and had been untrue TO him.
The popularity of Towards case was
his suicidal shots and the reason he gave
for INJECTING them. He intended TO kill
the woman, he said, and he reasoned and
perhaps rightly. that if he lived he would
have to submit to severe legal punish
ment as well, he said, as the punishment
hereafter, which he believed was bound
to follow in any event. So with the gal
lows staring him in the face he turned the
revolver upon himself and sought, as
near as he could, the heart. With an I'M
usual physical fortitude ne bore the pain,
but continually expressed a wish to die,
more it seems as a relief TO his mind upon
the subject of an earthly punishment,
than to his bodily suffering.
The wounds in his breast undoubtedly
caused his death, though it is believed
the one in his shoulder, which cut the
artery leading to the wrist and forming
the pulse and which would have necessi-
tated the amputation of his left arm,
would have almost been sufficient TO have
caused death.
1t is probably best for the negro that
he died, but it is fortunate that the
woman whom he intended to murder is
gradually recovering, and it is believed
will be out within short time. The case
is one of the most peculiar in the list of
murders and suicides that has been known
in this section.

The Belligerents Dismissed by the Re-
corder Swear Out Peace Warrants.
The three Syrians, who got into a row
at Michael Josef's house Saturday night,
were dismissed by the recorder yesterday
morning, as the fight and disturbance in
which they were engaged was within
doors, and further, they could not make
themselves ineligible upon the matter in
controversy between them.
This, however, was not the end so far
as they were concerned Michael Josef
whose house was the scene of the disturb
ance, swore out peace warrants in Justice
Naughtin's court yesterday against Abb
dalla Keir, Thomas Saao and George
Davis, the men whom he charged with
making assaults, or threatening TO make
assaults upon him. Thomas Saab has
been in one scrape, in which ne was
worsted and he didn't want to take any
chances. He was the Syrian who was
badly cut by a negro in TatnalI county a
few weeks ago. He at once swore out
peace warrants against Michel Josef and
Mansaur Michel All gave bond in the
sum Of 5000 each and were released. None
of them could speak English plainly, and
the cause of their difficulty has never
been learned but it has created some
little stir in the foreign colony of Savan-
nah

PUT IN JAIL FOR STEALING.
". W. Smallwood's Ingratitude for a
Friendly Act.

W. W. Smallwood, young white man,
was arrested last night in the market
| basement by Policeman Brazzell. on the
I charge Of stealing two gold watches and
some money from the room of two young
men who board at the houas Of j. b..
Schmeideberg, on Bryan street.
Smallwood is well-kuown in the city.
He was az one time a butcher IN the mar
ket and did a very good business. but was
ruined by drink. He got into some trouble
about two years ago and left the city for
New York. He only returned a few days
ago and appeared % be in needy circum-
stances. A friend whom he met and who
boarded at SchmeideUerg'S took him up
to his room and allowed him TO spend the
night there. This was a day or two ago.
About noon yesterday Mrs. Schmiece-
berg saw SmallwOOd in the room occupied
by her son, Fritz Avenarius, and Olaf
George. Not being able 10 speak English,
Mrs. SchmIedeberg did not inquire of
SmallwOOd what he was doing there but
supposed that ne had been sent up TO the
room by one Of the young men. She no.
tlced that he seemed 10 be looking for
something and thought his actions sus-
piciUus. When the young men went TO
their room after dinner Mr.. George dis
covered that his fine gold watch and
s., which he had left in his vest
pocket when he dressed for the labor
parade, were missing. Further investi-
CATION showed that Mr.. Avenarius' gold
watch and some small change we're also
missing Smallwood was at one sus-
pected. and the two young men set out in
search for him. They found him about
5 30 o'clock in the market basement. and
had him arrested, as stated. SmalIw wood
was in an intoxicated condition. When
he was searched at the barracks Olaf
Georges gold watch was found on him
and some small change SmallwoOd
claimed TO have bought the watch from a
negro.
Mr.. Avenarius could not find his watch
at any of the pawn shops last night 1t
is a gold watch open face, German make,
with a chain attached with a lOcket con
tanning a miniature of his father and
mother SmallwoOd refused to make any
statement at the barracks, but said that
he would be able TO explain the matter TO
the recorder this morning.

WALKED OUT OF THE HOSPITAL.
Tom Hansler Escaped But Was Re-
captured in Yamaoraw.

Maj. r. A. Blandford, the county en-
gineer, received word yesterday that Tom
Hansler, the negro convict who was shot
while trying to escape last Friday, had
escaped from the Georgia Infrmary,
where he had been taken to be treated for
his wound
1t seems he walked out of the room
while those in the ward were at the bed
side of Robert Howard the suicide, who
was breathing his last. and unmolested,
he made his escape. 1t was discovered
shortly after, but it was too late, and
there was nothing to do but report the
matter Maj Blaudford took up the
matter yesterday morning and
employed Constable Jim Williams,
who soon found Hansler hiding
in Yamacraw. Hansler was sent to Jail
and MAJ. Blandford says he will have
him carried out to the convict camp hos
pital to-day, as he is convinced that a
man who is well enough to make his es-
cape and take care of himself is well
enough to stand it out there.
Hansler's wound was not near so serious
as was at first believed. 1t was case of
his skull saving him, and the result when
the bullet struck it was only a slight
wound of the scalp, from which it is
thought he will soon recover. He was
sent up from the city court for three
months for vagrancy.

BAKING POWDER.
KNIGHTS RETURNING HOME.
They Call the Washington Encamp
ment q Great SUCCESS.

AhSy Jail Ihe W hAn1ngJOn Encamp
ment Great Success.
Capt. C. A. Cox of DuGueselin division,
and Adjt. c. p Rossignol of the Geor-
gia regiment Of the knights Of Pythias,
arrived back from Washington yesterday
morning. The members OF the Savannah
delegation are struggling home very
slowly. Many of them have taken ad-
vantage of the time limit given them by
their tickets TO visit other points besides
Washington, and the Savannah delega-
ton is now pretty well scattered over the
north.
Mr.. Rossignol said that the Washington
encampment was a success in every re-
spect. Over l2000 Knights were in line
in the grand parade, and the sight was
most inspiring one. The coast brigade,
consisting of the regiments from Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia
and Florida, made very good showing,
having about 500 men in line Col. r. +.
Harmon was in command of this brigade,
having the honor of being the only colonel
in command of brigade. On account of
being the junior officer, however, this
threw the coast brigade at the end of the
parade.
Over 100000 people are estimated to
have viewed the parade. After the work
OF the encampment was concluded the
Savannah knights proceeded to take in
the points of interest in and around the
capital. Arlington Heights on the Vir-
ginia shore was visited by the Savannah
knights. A number went from Washing
ton to Baltimore, and the others scattered
TO all points of the compass.

THREW ASHES IN THE RIVER.
The Fireman of the Tug Ripple Held
for the United States Court.

lot Jne OhlLeQ States OOurC.
Paris Ellis, William Y. Stevens and
Capt. William F. Bailey of the tugboat
Ripple, owned by the Atlantic Contract
ing Company and used by that company
in constructing jetties and other improve
ments in the harbor, had a preliminary
hearing before United States Commits
siOner Connolly yesterday They were
charged with obstructing the new chan
mel by dumping overheard ashes from the
steamer.
Capt. 0. M. Carter was one Of the wit
nasses. His teStimonyswas cOrroborated
by Capt. Thomas H. Laird of the United
States steam launch Angler, who also
witnessed it.
The evidence against Paris Fills, the
fireman. was conclusive. Everything
went to show that he threw the ashes
overheard, and he was held in $3.50 bond
for appearance at the Novem Der term of
the United States court, in default Of
which he was sent to Jail.
Capt. Bailey, who was charged with
authorizing or directing the throwing Of
the ashes overheard, was held under
bond to appear at the same term of court,
he being an important witness.
Engineer Stevens was discharged, there
being no evidence to connect him with .di-
recting or having knowledge of the throw
ing overheard of the ashes.
This is the first case of the kind
brought to the attention of the United
States authorities under the new law,
and probably for years; and it cannot
but have a salutary effect upon the CON
tractors and others employing steam
craft in the harbor, The bringing of this
case to the attention of a United States
commission is due solely to the energy
and activity of Capt Carter, whose work
of improving the harbor has been injured
by such practice.

September term of the court of ordinary
Yesterday being Labor day the court was
open for no business except that which by
law had TO be done on the first day of the

nected with some estates.
Messrs Erwin, duBignon & Chisholm
