PASSED WORTHLESS CHECKS.
A Youth Claiming to Hail From Sn-
vRnnah Does Up Chnrlestoninns


vannah Does Up Charlestonians.
Charleston, S. c.. June IA smart
youth who signed himself as J. p. Ger
rard, travelling passenger agent of the
Ocean Steamship Company of Savannah,
Ga. registered at the St. Charles hotel
Saturday and did UP quite a number of
people. He called upon the Sun news
paper and wanted to make a years con-
tract with the paper to advertise his
steamship line. Figures were quoted and
contract was to have benn brought around
to this office at $50 this morning. The
appointed hour arrived, but the festive
agent came not. An inquiry at the St
Charles elected the information that the
young man had fed the hosiery leaving
his new travelling bag in the hands of the
clerk and check on the Southern Bank
of Georgia at Savannah for $25. The check
bore the forged Endorsement of f. J. Stu
art, business manager Of the Sun, upon
the back of it, adding the serious crime
of forgery to his record. The bag was
purchased from the Charleston Trunk and
Bag Company, and check upon the same
bank was rendered in payment on hearing
from the hotel that he was a guest there
This check, however, bore no forged in
dorsement. After leaving the hotel last
evening, Gerard went up to the South
Carolina and Georgia railroad depot and
met I. L. Dumas. to whom he told his
story about being connected with the
Ocean Steamship Company. and that he
had gotten into poker game and lost $50
and was a little short of funds. and he
worked Mr.. Dumas for $3.50. This morn
ing Gerard, finding things were getting
too warm, and that he was penned in
skipped out and went to Atlanta, leaving
his trunk and satchel behind.

The sequence Of an oath to the contrary

ed upon the Commissioners this morning

ence stated to The Times that the pros
pect is good for success.

sitIon now is to transfer to Brightwood
the chemical engine now used at Mount
Pleasant and locate the new company in
It's stead. the engine-bouse being built with
a view to ultimately making such asubsti-
tuition.
The committee consisted of J. r. Buck

The board has heard no complaints, 1t was
stated to-day, of the failure uf the Tenders

excitement The January future opened at
s.54c. against S.s6c., Saturdays close.
On Wednesday las the same future sold
at 9.44c., or 90 points over to-dayt open
ing. This il equivalent TO $40 a tale.
The immediate cause of the smash this
morning was an opening decline in the Liver
pool market Of 10a11 -64d- The decline
as a whole, however. has been occasioned
by the reported collapse of the bun cam
paign- which has been engineered from
New Orleans for several months past.
The New Orleans bull clique was last
week reported to be liQuidating its hold
ings of cotton, and this quickened in the
decline in this market.
Business was very heavy this morning
and fluctuations were very violent.
Within thirty seconds the market moved
five points. January. which had opened
at S-54. rallied TO S.65 and then weaken
ell again. with quick rallies, and reeov-
cred during the first hour.
Sales on the opening call were on an en0r-
NOUS scale.
