FOR HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Detective KavanauRh Starts Trio to
the Camps.

the Camps.
Edward Green, William Stokes and
Henry Bliss were arrested yesterday
afternoon by Detective Kavanaugh, all
charged with highway robbery
Officer Kavanaugh took an afternoon
OFF and started out to look up the three
men named, whom he believed TO be the
men who relieved an old negro man of
SIS out on the White Bluff road Saturday
night. He had remarkable luck In find
ing them. He was on Broughton street
at o'clock, when he heard shouting and
cries of pursuit coming from Brough ton
street lane He ran to the lane at the
corner of Barnard street and arrived lust
in time to head off Green, who was being
pursued by Policeman ScuIly and a crowd
of men.
Green had slipped up to ]. D. Rich
who was asleep on a bench in front of q
saloon at West Broad and Congress
streets, and was going through his pock-
cts in good shape, when he was seen by
lady who gave an alarm. He ran off down
Broughton street lane pursued by Officer
SCully and others. Green was thought to
be one of the men implicated in the rob-
berry on the White Bluff road, and Officer
kavanaugh was looking Tor him at the
time. He denied having anything to do
with this robbery, but acknowledged that
he knew something about it and said that
he had been given some of the money to
keep his mouth shut. He implicated
Stokes and Bliss as the robbers.
After sending Green in Kavanaugh con-
tinued his search. and in about an hour
after the arrest of Green picked Stokes
up near the market and sent him in
Bliss was arrested in the same neigh Dor
hood about o'clock. 1t is thought that
the evidence is sufficient TO send all three
of the men to the gang for considerable
length of time.

nut the boy who was drowned lost his

There were number of boys and men
around the dock, and any fair swimmer

dent occurred right at the wharf Most
of those who saw the accident probably

that his mother lived on Stewart street,

FEW DEATHSN SIX MONTHS
SaVaDnah'S Mortality for The Year 50
Far Less Than Ever known.

/ The Total Deaths Since Jan. l, $50.
The Annual Rate Among Whites 8
! TO the / 900 Population-The City
Pronounced in an Excellent SAM
tary Condition, and Healthy Sum
mer Looked For.
Health Oficer Drummer made up his
figures yesterday Of the lumber of deaths
during the last six months The results
make a remarkable showing of the city's
health, the death rate being the smallest
on record.
The total number of deaths is $50, Of
which ls5 were white and 354 colored
The deaths by months were as follows
January, 43 white, 80 colored; Feb
ruary, q white, 81 colored; March, %
white 81 colored April Is white, 30 col
ored; May 80 white, 90 colored; June 27
white, 81 colored. Total 1S5 white, 954
colored
Estimating the population of the city
at $1,000, this will give death rate of
2l.56 to the thousand as the annual death
rate. Estimating the white population at
10000, these figures would give an annual
death rate Of 9 to the thousand which is
a showing that it is safe to say cannot be
excelled anywhere.
THE LOWEST MORTALITY KNOWN.
DIR. Drummer does not expect 10 be able
TO make such a showing a the end of the
year, however, as experience has shown
him that the death rate is always greater
in the fall of the year than in the spring
and early summer The heavy death

Drummer attributes to the results of old
cases OF grip, which were mostly brought
over from the previous year. 1t was this
same disease which swelled the death
rate last fall
DR. Drummer did not make up any table
showing the character Of the diseases
which produced the deaths during the
last six months. The deaths were di-
vided about as usual among the various
causes, he said. The proportion of deaths
from fevers was not large.
THE CITY IN GOOD CONDITION.
"The health of the city has been I'M
usually good d" said he 1.-THE mild spring
and the good sanitary condition of the
city are chiefly responsible for the low
mortality"

PREVENTING CHICKEN poy.

Owing to his vigilance and the con-
stancy Of his labors in the earlier part
OF the year, the poultry raiser is apt
to take things easier now, and liable
to neglect to keep the coops of his
chickens clean. But they need just as
much attention now as ever--more if
there is any difference, for the amount
of tdroppings increases with the size of
the chickens. It is IN unclean coops
that the chicken pox usually appears.
About the sides of the face and on the
comb, wattles and earlobes, may be
noticed scabs. If nothing is done for
them, the disease sometimes so spreads
as to make the head a solid sore, and
even to destroy the sight and cause
death. Remove the seabs and rub in
dry sulphur twicea day. few appli-
cations will usually affect a cure. In
the South this disease is treated with
an ointment of salt and lard rubbed
into the sores. Anew applications will
suffice. A little sulphur in the food is
helpful.-Ameriean Agriculturist,

Humorous Legal Complication.

About the queerest case at law this
term was that fuss in a small Maine
village, in this part of the State. Two
neighbors owned dogs. One dog got
afoul of the neighboring canine and
was chewing him to the queens taste,
when the owner Of the under dog SHE'D
a club. The club broke the bellicose
dogs forepaw. 1Straightway this dogs
owner brought suit to recover dam
ages. He lost his case and wa ordered
to pay the costs of the action. But he
didn't pay, and an execution was is
sued against his body, whereupon the
Deputy Sheriff made a funny break.
He got twisted over the verbiage of the
document and proceeded to arrest the
nan who had been sued. In the hub
Dub that resulted the real culprit took
alarm and, in order to save himself,
went into insolvency before the Sheriff
got unsnarled and served the exeeu-
tion.--Lewiston Me Journal.
