A SCHEME TO ROB CHARITIES.
The Thief Who Entered the Home of
the Little sisters a ROundcr.

The Thief Who Entered the Home of
the Little Sisters n Roundcr.
If the man William Walsh, who was ar
rested In Charleston day or two ago for
robbing ST. PatTick's parsonage in that
city, 10 which he obtained admission on
the pretense that ne was connected with
the telephone exchange, is the party who
robbed the home of the Little Sisters Of
the Poor on Seventh street last week, as
the police believe he is. it is likely his
career win be stopped for awhile at least.
The Giro umstance of the robbery of the
Little Sisters home has been given In the
Morning y ews. one Of the sisters, who
was in Richmond some time ago. was
told of an attempted robbery OF the home
there in siIpilar way. a stranger called
at the home representing th at he was
sent from the gas Office to see that The
gas meter ana piping were an right. He
went through several rooms, turning on
the gas and inspecting the lights, but
was accompanied by one of the sisters.
Nothing was thought Of the man or of
his visit until some time afterward the
same man called TO inspect the electric
lights. He was somewhat changed in his
makeup but not sufficiently to disguise
his identity as the gas inspector.
The sisters at once became suspicious
and kept a close watch on the intruder,
for they so regarded him, although not
absolutely certain that he was not what
he represented himself TO be. The close
watch kept on him prevented him from
getting away with anything.
1t was learned the next day, upon in
quiry, that neither the gas nor the cleo
trio light company had any such man in
their employ, and there was no longer any
doubt that the object of the alleged in
spector was to steal whatever he could lay
his hands on, if he got chance
The Savannah robbery, and the Charles
ton robbery a few days later all on the
same plan, are pretty conclusive proof
that the scheme is being worked by the
same man or by a gang.

FENCE PEOPLE UNEASY.
They Want to Do Something, Ilut

They Want to Do Something, But
Don't Know Just What 1t Is.
There are spreading rumors of a con-
test on the fence election, or an applica-
ton to the courts for an injunction to re-
strain the ordinary from declaring the
no fence law of force at the time prescribed
by law. Just what steps are being taken
in this direction cannot be definitely de-
termined, as it is stated the matter is be-
ing worked very quietly.
1t is reported, however, that the fence
people have quietly held several meetings
and that they are now getting up list
of signatures on the strength of which
they will base their application to the
courts or to whatever authority they may
seek to invoke.
The election has already been declared
by the ordinary, and no notice Of any con-
test was given. Under well known de-
cision of the supreme court a contest
could hardly be made now, so it is prob
able, from what is heard, that some al
legged grounds are being collected on which
to base an application to the courts for an
injunction. or to set aside the election.
1t is expected that the matter will be
heard from in the next few days.

TO SEND A COMMITTEE.
Col. Wrenn's Suggestion In Regard
TO Tourist Rates.

Col B. W. Wreun. passenger manager
Of the Plant system, returned yesterday
from Atlanta, where he has been for sew
eral days TO look after the work on the
Plant system building. and exhibits at the
Cotton States and International EXPOSE
tion' which are rapidly being put in shape.
Col Wrenn says the Plant system build
Ing is showing up finely. and has been
noted and admired by all who have visited
the exposition grounds. Col D. H. Elliott,
the general land agent of the system, is
there, looking after the progress on the
work. and the exhibits from the points
along the line of the system are coming in
rapidly. Col Wrenn said he was surprised
at the progress that has been made on
the exposition grounds. The majority OF
the buildings. he states. have been entire
~ completed and exhibits from many sec
tons of the country are coming in now.
When asked about the matter Of tourist
rates in connection with the statement Of
the situation made by Maj. Knapp, COM
missioner of the freight bureau, he said
the statement made by Maj. Knapp is eX
actly the position he has taken all along.
The first thing for Savannah and
Charleston to do" he said, us 10 get the
Southern railway In line. This is the only
company that has direct line into Wash
ington, and unless il consents TO grant
the tourist rates to Savannah. it VIII be
a hard matter 10 get at it. on account of
the opposition which is met on the part Of
the Pennsylvania railroad.
In my opinion it would he a splendid
idea first to address q communication TO
hon tn qal Il n
arrangement to have a committee both
from Savannah and Charleston TO meet
him and secure his cooperation in the
matter. If that is done. and l have no
doubt it would be an easy matter to Sc
cure his cooperation If he were properly
approached, the question of tourist rates
Will be settled so far as Savannah and
Charleston are concerned, and the Penn
sylvania railroad will haye to put on the
tickets also for the other lines with which
it makes connection.
After the committee has seen Mr..
Spencer and secured his cooperation in
the matter. II would be a splendid idea
TO have that same committee go before
the September meeting Of the Southern
States Passenger Association which. of
course, will have to act in the matter.
With such backing as Mr.. Spencer could
give, however, It would be a very easy
matter to secure the rate desired.
L would advise that not only a COM
mittee from Savannah be appointed, but
that Charleston, whose interests are iden-
teal with those of Savannah in this mat
ter, be invited to join in, and the case
could, of course be put in a
stronger light. / have held all
along that the matter would have
to be worked through the Southern, and
Maj. Knapp has no doubt hit the key
note in his statement of the matter"
Col. Wrenn left the city on the noon
train for New York and Boston, where he
goes to look after the interest of the Can
ada and Atlantic Plant steamship lines
from Boston to Halifax. He is expected to
return the latter part of the week.

TO GET RIP OF THE CIVIL CASES.
The superior Court Getting Ready
TO Try the Criminals.

The superior court will give some at
tention to criminal business to-day. The
greater part of this week will be devoted
to the civil business of the court, but
Judge Falligant has notified the solicitor
general that he would devote the month
of August to criminal business. and as
there are a good many cases on the dock
ct some of them important ones, this
business will no doubt take up the entire
month.
The criminal docket viii be called to-
day for assignment. 1t is probable that
Abe Small will be given counsel to defend
him on his trial. which is expected TO come
is pretty closely confined at present. He
gets out into the corridor OF the jail for
a little while every day for exercise, but
generally alone, and no outsider is allowed
TO see him under any circumstances. Sew
eral have made requests for permission
to get a glimpse of him, some of them more
out of Idle curiosity than anything else
but the jailors have positive instructions
in the matter, and all callers on Abe are
kept on the outside.
There are several other important cases
on the docket, and an effort will be made
to have all of them, II possible, disposed
of at this term. The jail was pretty well
cleared in June, but, strange to say, it
now contains about twenty or more pris-

AN ALL AROUND NOT DAY.
There Was no Getting Away From
1t in Town or Out.

July is keeping up its record as a scorch-
ing month. The temperature yesterday
was up to 80 degrees The mean was 2
degrees above the average.
1t was a hot day from start to finish.
The humidity was high, and made the
heat more intensely felt than it would
otherwise have been.
1t was not only hot in the city. but the
resorts were but little cooler. People who
went out of the city We're glad to get back
and those who didn't so wondered if it
were any cooler anywhere else.
Had it not been for the slight breeze
the heat would have been almost unbear-
able.
Savannah was not the only hot place
in the country either 1t was hot all over
the state and throughout the south AL
bany, Americas, COrdele and Eastman
each reported 96 degrees. Savannah came
next. and Vhen cambridge, Millen, Fort
Gaines and Gainesville. Waycross and
Quitman were the coolest places in the
Savannah district, and the temperature
even there reached 80 degrees. The indi-
cations at midnight were for a continual
ton of the hot spell to-day.

ABOUT THE SAME AS LAST YEAR
The Central Railroads Earnings
show Little Change.

The Central Railroads Earnings
show Little Change.
The reports showing the earnings and
expenses of the Central railroad system
for the fiscal year ending June 80 have
been pretty well made out and though
they are not in complete condition, enough
to show the exact status Of the property
for the year, they have been analysed
sufficiently by Receiver Conner to deter
mine that the net earnings of the prop
erty were about the same as for the
last fiscal year ending June 80, 1894.
The net earnings for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1894, were 81. 92s, ll7.55 The
gross earnings for the fiscal year just
ended will no doubt be much larger than
those for the fiscal year preceding. on
account Of the fact that within the last
year large amounts have been paid out
on several of the lines for rails, and
renewal of equipment
on the Southwestern railroad alone
$4,000 were spent for rails during the
fiscal year. To show what the property
has done during the year it would be nee
essary to give credit for this in any
statement of the earnings.
The officers of the road are now at
work on the annual report, and it is
likely that II will be ready to go to press
within a month.

A LIVELY DAY FOR THE POLICE.
A Good Many Arrests, But None OF
Them for Serious Crimes.

Them for Serious Crimes.
The police made a good many arrests
yesterday for a quiet day like Sunday
usually is, but in spite Of it all there was
little or nothing of an exciting or inter
esting nature.
The most serious case during the day
was the arrest of Laura Cuthbert for cut
ting Lille West. The victim, however.
was not very badly hurt. The arrest was
made by Policeman Barrett.
Policeman York got in some good work
He landed three Vagrants James Ed
wards, James Mobiles and William Nun
gin, in the barracks, and besides picked
up three men for sleeping on the street
in broad daylight. They were William
Robinson, William Bradley and Sam
Brown.
Edward Maxwell and Solomon Cham
pion, two colored boys, were given cells
in the barracks for taking a bath in the
Ogeechee canal and Charlie Brown was
run in for gambling on the streets. G.. L.
Herndon will answer TO the recorder for
allowing his hack to stand too long in
front of the Pulaski house.
d. Cohen was arrested for disorderlv
conduct and fighting in a house on Or
ange street. His statement of the case
on arrival at the barracks was that he
had row with his mother-in-law. who
wanted him TO quit his wife and marry her
Besides these cases, only DRINKS were nut
on the docket.

PEOPLE BUYING LOTS ron HOMES
Inquiry for Small Farms, Too, Since
the stock Law Passed.


the stock Law Passed.
There has been decided strengthening
of the real estate market during the last
month. While it cannot be called an ac-
tivity, there is more inquiry for property
than there has been in a year or more.
one Of the features of the market is
the inquiry for small farm lots of five,
ten, twenty and even fifty acres, for
truck raising and small farming. One
real estate man who deals largely in
country property said there is no doubt
that the adoption of the stock law has
had the effect of inducing people in the
country to turn their attention to truck
raising. and the more careful and thor
ough cultivation of crops, now that they
will be able to do 1t without fear or dan
ger of their lands being run over and their
crops destroyed by cattle.
A drive over the country roads in the
vicinity of Savannah cannot but impress
one that there has been a great improve
ment in the suburbs within the last few
years, and now that the fence question
has been settled, it is expected there will
be a still greater improvement.
As soon as the new law is in operation
crops can be grown without danger of
being eaten up by rowing cattle as soon
as they are out of the ground.
At the time of inquiry for suburban
lands there is a good deal of inquiry for
city lots, not so much for investment, as
for homes. There is more building going
on in the suburbs now than there has been
in the last two years Real estate mon
say the people who come to them about
city property almost invariably are people
who want to build homes.

RAIL AND CRosSTIE.

The amount Of steel rails annually re-
quired for renewals may be estimated.
the Railway Age says, at about six tons
per mile of road, which on the present
mileage OF the country would represent
about 10S0,OO0 tons. Adding to this esti-
mate which is probably within bounds
notwithstanding the increasing life gain
ed from Increased weight-the require
ments for some thousands of miles of new
construction yearly. at the low average
OF 100 tons to the mile, it is evident that
the rail mills will continue to find occu-

STRUCK BY A LOCOMOTIVE.

a Boys Body Found Hanging Under
the Tender.
A negro boy about 10 years old was
struck by an extra freight train on the
Central railroad yesterday morning about
l O'Clock, between the yards and the
Charleston and Savannah crossing.
The boy is supposed to have been walk
Ing along the track on the left hand side.
Nothing was known of II until the engine
reached the yards, when one Of the train
men noticed something under the tender.
II was found to be the body Of the boy,
but It was so badly mashed up as to make
Identification almost impossible The body
was turned over TO Coroner Goette for
burial.
