NABBED THE LAST OF THE GANG.
Sam Duncan, a Notorious Clothing
Thief, Captured.

Samuel Duncan. colored. was arrested
yesterday by Detective Seully. Duncan
is one of the gang which robbed the store
of the Southern Pants Company last week
Spencer McNary and Moses Young, who
We're arrested last week by the detectives
and turned over to the city court by the
recorder for the same affair, are both old
timers on the gang. McNary is said to
be one of the most notorious thieves in
the city.
The way in which the gang worked was
this They would all so into a store to-
gether and would ask to be shown some
thing, usually an oYercoat. One of the
crowd would take up the coat as If to eX-
anime it and spreading it out would hold
il UP between the proprietor or clerk, and
his confederates. The latter void then
seize such goods as they could lay their
hands on and hide them under their coats.
In this way they managed to secure a
good lot of stuff before their game was
caught on to.

THE CENTRAEs TERMINAL.
The Improvement at the wharf tn
Cost About SIJO,OOO.

The new improvements being made at
the Central railroad wharves, an account
of which was recently given in the Morn
ing News will cost somewhere in the
neighborhood of sl5O,0OO and it is prob
able it will take year TO complete them.
There will be 100000 cubic yards Of mate
rial put in back of the present lumber
wharves, which is now being done by the
suction dredge that is pumping sand and
earth from the river and throwing it over
into thu, low yards.
1t is expected to secure 26 feet depth at
mean high water all along the wharf
front. This is the same depth as the
channel. and is desired so that any YES
sci which can come up the river viii find
no trouble in standing alongside.
With these improvements to the
wharves, the naval stores yard and other
features, this terminal property already
considered the finest in the south, will
rank, perhaps, with any in the country.

PROTECTIVE TARIFF
In Germany Transforming II Into n Man.
nfacturing Country N Providing a
Home Market for Farmers.


WASHINGTON, D. c.. Nov. 23.-The
rapid change OF the German empire
from an agricultural to an industrial
state is set forth by consul j.. C. Mona
CHAN In a report to the state depart
ment. He says everywhere one sees
new mills In course OF construction. In
Chemnitz and ~thereabouts the manu-
featuring development Is simply enor-
NOUS. Nothing like K has ever been
seen before. Hereafter says the consul,
Germany will do all her manufacturing
ut home. buying only agricultural pro-
duets and raw materials abroad. He
cites the fact that Germany Is no Ion
ger buying steel rails abroad. but Is
making them at home. The manufac-
tured exports OF Germany during the
first nine months of the current year
reach the enormous total of Is, 705. 900
tons, or an increase of three million
tons over the entire year preceding.
The consul says Germany must con-
tlnue to look to the United States for
cotton. corn and petroleum. and he
says there Is a less demand for wooden
ware. carriages, shoes. typcwritcrs,
crackers. biscuits, etc. The importation
of American textile fell on last year
because OF the textile depression In the
United States. The consul says Ger
many continues to look to the United
States as the best market In the world
for textiles.

Ity for the statemen. that Major Nc
Kinley is averse to raise expectations
