CAUGHT AT LAST.
YOUNG SAVAGE IN HALIFAX
JAIL.
Says There are Three Others.

Readers of THE COMMONWEALTH will
remember that some weeks ago we gave
an account of some wholesale thieving
in Scotland Neck and Greenville, and
upon suspicion colored man named
Young Savage was arrested, but eluded
officer Dunn and made his escape. A
reward of 500 was offered for him, and
on 23rd of September, R. J. Linden,
Superintendent of the police force in
Philadelphia, wrote Mr.. w. E. Whit
more, chief of police of Scotland Neck,
that he had Young Savage under arrest.
Requlsition papers were secured from
Governor Carr, and Mr.. Whitmore lett
Wednesday of last week to bring Saw
age to Scotland Neck. He returned
with the prisoner Saturday. He was
given a hearing before Mayor J. A..
Perry, was put under $500 bond for his
appearance at court. Failing to give
the bond Savage was taken by deputy
sheriff G.. w. Dunn to Halifax Satur-
day afternoon and placed in Jail to
await his trial in November.
STORY OF THE ARREST.
Mr.. Whitmore went to Harrisburg,
Pa, where Governor Daniel G. Hast
ings gave him a warrant for Savage's
delivery. He went to Philadelphia
where Savage was promptly turned
over to him.
Capt. P. Miller, Of the city detective
force, told Mr.. Whitmore that he ar
rested Savage with several others as
they were coming into the city from
their work in the country. The detect
ives had spotted Savage but had not
arrested him. Upon some charge they
arrested the crowd and proceeded to
search them.
THE COMMONWEALTH NA4LED HIM.
On Savage's person was found q let
ter from Scotland Neck addressed to
w. T. Smith. The letter Of itself
would have been no clue % Sayagge'ss
identity, but with it there was clip
ping from the THE COMMONWEALTH In
which was given the particulars of Saw
ages arrest and escape he1e. When
the detective found the clipping from
this paper and read it, he boxed his
victim in the eye and said, care you
not Young Savage?" Savage confess
ed and said he was. He told Capt. Mil
Ter and also Mr.. Whltmore Tat while
he bought the goods he used, there
were three others with him, but refus-
ed to give their names, as he lad sworn
not to let their names be known.
FINE TREATMENT.
Mr.. Whitmore is loud in his praises
of the gentlemen whom he met in
Philadelphia, and says Capt. Miller
was quite clever and obliging. He
was shown many courtesies and atten-
tons and assures The COMMONWEALTH
that those of the detective and police
forces whom he met came up to the
standard which the name of their fair
city indicates "brotherly love"-and
he will always remember their kind
ness with gratitude.

THE PROMISE FULF4LLED.

The Shaker Doctors agent Mr.. Smith,
promised for Saturday night more bois-
ferrous pleasure than was ever before
witnessed in the same space of time,
and nobly kept his promise by putting
on bun-eating contest which was
enjoyed by an audience of nearly
twelve thousand of our citizens. The
amusement for this evening will con-
sist of music and mirth, the feature
of which will be shoe lacing contest,
the participants each placing their
shoes and stockings one at a time in
barrel where they will be thorough
ly mixed together and awards given
the boys who are most rapid in recov-
cry of their own and proper adjustment
of them.
1t afforded US pleasure to see so many
assembled on Saturday night to witness
the entertainment, but we were in no
way surprised, as il is the best free
open air amusement it has ever been
our pleasure to witness.
Their promises to their patrons are
fulfilled to the letter and the oonfi-
dence of the people who are so hber-
ally patronizing them we think is
justly placed.
Remember that for all that, they are
here for the purpose of advertising
their medicines; it does not cost them
any more to entertain thousands than
it does to entertain hundreds. and ali
are equally welcomed, whether a Gus
toner or not.
II very pleasant evening is wor-
thy your attention, do not fail to see
them this evening on the vacant lot
adjacent Hotel Knutsford. They be-
| gin promptly at SIS each evening. the
weather permitting.

HAS GONE TO REST.
Mrs. Paul Smith Dies, After "a Con-
tinued Illness Yesterday After
noon.

Mrs. Paul Smith, wife of the we'll known
tailor, died at her home on Third South
street. between Second and Third West
streets, yesterday afternoon at O'clock
after an illness of some five or six weeks
The deceased was a woman of low
able character and will be missed by her
many friends and relatives in this city,
but by none SO much as the bereaved
husband.
There is a peculiar sadness which at
tacheS itself to her demise. Paul and her
had been married but a comparatively
short time, and left behind is 3-year-old
baby boy, who, in the years to come,
will never know what it is to look into
the face of a mother Although the little
one will be given all the tender care which
can be bestowed by loving hands and
warm hearts, he will, in the years which
are to come and go, miss the kindly ac-
cents of the woman who would have given
him the words of counsel and advice
which originate only in maternity
There are many hearts in the city this
morning which are beating in sympathy
for the tiny one and the grief stricken
husband. Paul has a host of friends here
who will unite with him in shedding the
tear of regret for the one who has sank
into the never-ending slumber.
Notice of the funeral will be given
later

Republican leader of Missouri, which
appears in the Post-Dispatch. William
Mckinley will not be nominated on the
first ballot.
Can Mckinley be nominated on the
first balfot?H was asked Mr. Fiiley.
Yes, but there is no purpose on the
part of his friends and managers to at
tempt any such conditions. Those who
talk or urge it are not the friends of
Mckinley IN the real sense of true
friendship. They are evidently unfa-
miliar with the rules of Republican ma
tional conventions and the courtesies
due to every candidate and his right. to
have his name presented and voted
upon and to have the vote announced.
1t would be the height of presumption,
course. The friends of Reed, Allison,
Morton and others, even if in the mi
nority, have their rights and they win
! be respected. The rules of this conven-
tion like others of the past, will, with
out doubt, provide that when the roll
is being called no change of vote will
be in order and that it will be an
/ nounced. Then. if majority has not
been had, another ballot will be pro-
ceeded with and continued until there
is majority of all the delegates
elected announced.
Hence no stampede or reclamation
vote VII be in order. Without the
contested southern votes, some 115 of
/ McKinleys, it is possible to nominate
him on the first formal ballot. Some.
/ times an Informal ballot is taken"

Yesterday morning four boys, Arthur

across the Utah & Northern bridge in
Gibson's grove looking for magpie's
nests, when they CHANGED across one
containing a greater assortment OF
plumber than is often found in nests of
that kind. The boys found number
of razors and other shaving inpie-
ments, together with towels shears,
clinpers and the like They carried
them up to Charles Tyree, father of one
of the boys. and he returned with
them to the place and unearthed a lot
more plumber. Among other articles
were two very fine blankets, which he
recognized as two that were taken
from the rig of Mayor Spencer about
six weeks ago. Some clothing was also
found in the cache.
The shaving tools were identified as
those taken from the shop of Thomas
Virgins on the night of March II. 1t
will be remembered that the sacrament

was stolen the next night and that
portions of it, all hacked to pieces,

ETC., VS.. Edward CorlisS and Charles
Frazier, grand larceny, their former
plea of not guilty was changed TO one
of guilty and the court set the first
day of court of the next term as the
time to pass sentence. But more than
likely no sentence will be passed on
them as a petition signed by some
of the most prominent citizens of the
county was presented to the court ask
ing that sentence be suspended during
good behavior of the defendants and as
they appear to have sincerely repented
of their misdeeds and 1T being their

THE CAUSE OF HARD TUNES.

Among the other evils which are
charged up to the bicycle is that it is
responsible for the hard times now
upon US. The current Dramatic News
has some interesting matter on this
subject. 1t seems New York paper
published interviews with leading man
ayers on the subject OF what was the
cause in the falling off of theatrical
business. A surprisingly large number
of them attributed a great measure of
it to the swift, silent, steel steed"
The editor of the Dramatic News,
Leander Richardson, comments on the
subject as follows:
The bicycle business is. in my opin-
ion, the chief cause of the poor spring
and autumn receipts, not alone in the
theatres, but In pretty nearly all other
branches of business. SO that the
wheel, in addition to keeping the money
of its devotees out of the theatres. is
In measure responsible FOR the hard
times of which everybody complains y
Furthermore, he gives figures taken
from the books of a well known gents
furnisher whose Saturday trade has
fallen from $1,S00 to $780, The dealer
explained that before the bicycle ma
MIA came up customer to be in style
bought extensive fancy summer ward
robes, but that now the same GUS
toner nowadays would purchase some
golf stockings and sweaters. which
would last whole season and greatly
reduce the wear and tear of his fine
underwear, shirts, scarfs and so forth
The editor also points out how large
must be the sum of money withdrawn
from the dry goods trade as well
as the amusement and other
trades to be turned to the purchase of
bicycles on the installment or other
plan. All in all he makes out strong
case against the bicycle as a cause of
hard times, but doubtless the dealers
in wheels and the appurtenances there
/ of could show him some figures for the
| other side of the case
