UP FOR FIVE YEARS.
Prophet Major Gets a Long 5enten
for Embezzling a Letter.

Prophet Major Gets a Long Sentence
for Embezzling a Letter.
Prophet Major, colored, was sentenced
to serve five years in the penitentiary by
the United States district court, yester-
day, for embezzling valuable letter from
the Savannah postofice.
Nov. last Major went to TIE postofice
and to the clerk, Mr.. John Mccullough,
represented himself to be Edward Reed.
A registered letter addressed to
Reed was called for and Major
signed for it and took it. The
letter contained something over S12 in
money. Majors little fraudulent racket
soon got him into trouble, and Inspector
Bulla soon had him in jail. He was de-
tended yesterday by Hon. Alfred Her
rington, and made hard fight, but the
case against him was strong one and the
jury found him guilty. Judge Speer then
sentenced him to serve five years at hard
labor in the United States penitentiary
at Columbus, o.
John Boddenford and William Maxwell,
charged with conspiracy and attempting
by intimidation and threats to deter Will
liam M. Swindle, a witness on behalf of
the United States against Boddenford,
from testifying at his preliminary exam
nation before United States Commits
sioner L. NJ. Erwin. were found not
guilty. They were defended by Hon. AL

FALK's THE PLACE.
The Reward of Enterprise.


The enterprise of the Falk Clothing
Company is something of which Savan.
nah can justly feel proud. Whenever
there is any large deal going on in the
markets, they are informed Of it, and al
ways avail themselves of all such oppor-
tunities, and always offer to their Gus tom
ers the best to be had for the money.
Recently they closed out from manu-
facturer his entire stock on hand of
children's stockings, at considerable un-
der the cost of production. These they
have now received and have divided them
into two lots, as follows: One lot at IOc
a pair or pairs for 25c. the other at
15c pair or pairs for 25c. Each and
every pair being guaranteed fast colors,
and those at 15c being not only fast
colors but also absolutely seamless.
1t was also largely through the
efforts Of the Falk Clothing Company
that the County Down Manufacturing
Company was persuaded that it was bet
ter TO run a factory at cost rather than to
keep 1t closed; thereby Offering to the
people an opportunity to have shirts made
to order for less than the same shirts
would ordinarily cost ready made.
1t was also they who first anticipated
"hard tines and offered goods in Savan-
nah so very cheap. Whilst others
soon fell into their tracks, they had the
lead from the start and have kept it..
The great, the very great reductions, at
which they have marked their clothing
makes IL cheap enough to buy to put
away until next year. Never were goods
sold so cheap in Savannah before.
II you need anything at all in the way
of wearing apparel you would not be
doing yourself Justice did you not call to
examine Falk's stock and Falk's prices
before buying.-ad

ger & Company, since which time he has
devoted his attentions to looking after
his large real estate interests.
MIR. Dasher's death is not surprise as
he had been in feeble health for some
time. He leaves one daughter, Mrs. Ed
ward Lowell. His son, Frank Dasher,
who married Miss Lowell, died several
years ago. The time of the funeral will
be announced to-day. Mr.. Dasher S

a sure thing.
Capt Walker is eager for the contest
and will begin at once to get his men in
shape. He says he thinks he can get Mr..
w. E. Trenchard, who has played with
the Savannah boys before and who is
well known in the city, to take part in
the game, and he intends to have his men

It used to be a spontaneous festival

eating tendencies OF the times have
converted II into an event more or less
for profit, and the main attraction on
old Swan Hill Is conducted under the
auspices OF the Crescent Club. OF South
Amboy.
Their are four picnics in full blast on
the town site. The scholars OF St.
Mary's Catholic School are having a

the theatrical business, and his brother
william. twenty years old, horse
sheer, living at 256 West Thirty-second

plainant against them was Daniel Nor

street. who charged the prisoners with
stealing his horse and cab from in front
of 10 West Twenty-sixth street last
night.
At $40 o'clock this morning Policeman
Angevine. of the West Forty-seventh

driving. while his brother and Disch
were inside fast asleep. Without arous-
ing the sleepers. Angevine jumped on
the box and made Carroll drive to the
station house.
When questioned by Justice Taintor.
they said that strange man met them
| and asked them to take the team 10
| Fifty-second street. As there was no d.
| rect evidence TO show that they had
taken the rig, Justice Taintor gave them
the benefit of the doubt and dismissed
