SET AGOOS < HOT PACE.
A Bryan Street ShOpkeeper's Long
Chase After Thief.


Chase After a Thief.
George Montgomery, colored, was ar
rested yesterday afternoon and lodged in
the barracks, on a charge of larceny.
Montgomery seems to have a penchant
for stealing. 1t manifested itself in his
theft of hat from Don Agoos' store at
Bryan and Montgomery streets, The
boy went into the store ostensibly to pur-
chase pair of pantaloons. His inspec-
ton of the stock resulted in his catching
up two pairs of pants and hat and max
ing off with them.
The thief set a hot pace, but Agoos was
to drop a part of his booty. Finding he
could not make his escape, encountered
with the spells of his thievery, away went
the pantaloons. Agoos gathered up his
goods and went back. He reported the
matter to the police. Detective Sculy
went down to see about It.. The negro
was described to him and the detective
at once recognized from the description
that the thief and Montgomery were prob
ably the same. He found George on the
street not long afterwards, and arrested
him. The boy did not have the hat. He
had sold 1t TO another negro for 10 cents,
making about 10 per cent. of it's value
by his theft. The purchaser was found
and the hat recovered for Agoos. Mont
gomery has just come off the chain-gang
where he was sent for stealing a gold
watch from the Inglesby warehouse. His
last feat demonstrates that the gang is
the best place for him.

Ocean Steamship Company VIII Car
ry Only Freight to Boston.


The general changes to go into effect
July / in the running of the Ocean Steam
ship Company's vessels will not affect the
passenger rates. Although vessels direct
from Savannah to Boston will be taken
off and put on the New York line, through
tickets via New York will stin be sold to
Boston.
The steamship company has made
passenger traffic agreement with one of
the Long Island sound lines, by which
transportation can be furnished passen-
gers from Savannah to Boston, without
the necessity of purchasing another ticket
al New York.
The same rate will be charged as that
which prevails now on the Savannah-Bos-
ton line, This rate is 1876 for the round
trip, or $22 either way. The one-way rate
to New York is 800 so that the additional
charge for the passage from New York
TO Boston is only 50, when
the ticket is bought here.
II bought at New York. however. the pas
sage would cost $4 the fare by the sound
line. In addition TO the 81 passage, meals
on the sound line vessels and staterooms
are charged as extras.
1t is not probable that stop-overs at
New York on tickets between Savannah

has not yet, however, been fully decided.
Passengers arriving at New York on the
New York line will, of course, await the
sailing of the vessel Of the sound line.
This will give them about ten hours in
New York
The steamship City of Macon, now ply
ing between Savannah and Philadelphia,
which is TO be taken off on the discon-
tlnuance of the line on July 1, will go
on the route between New York and ROs-
ton. but will be run only as a freight
steamer. Transfers of her freight from
Boston for Savannah will be made at
New York to the vessels of the New York
line, and also of the New York lines Bos-
ton freight from Savannah.

GU BA LIBkE !

While the new Spanish ministry con-
ducts it's Cuban war under the shelter
of alleged efforts to pacify the island,
it is impossible for the United States
to interfere without violating interna-
tional law, but, happily, as the situation
now appears, there is strong prospect
of Cuba gaining her liberty at an early
date without the formal intervention
other time during the long struggle
with Spain, the inability of the Spanish
government to subdue the rebellion is
apparent, and with the assembling of
Congress in Washington the definite
crisis of the situation will probably be
reached.
The Cuban insurgent forces seem to
be in astonishingly good condition to
carry on the war. There is no DISPOSE
ton to call for outside assistance, not
even that of the United States, beyond
a recognition of Cuban belligerency
which shall enable the Cubans to secure
the supplies necessary for a vigorous
campaign. The insurgents are more
than hopeful. They are confident of
gaining the independence of Cuba at a
comparatively early day. They scorn
the idea of autonomy and laugh at the
latest move of Spain in the way of
promising important offices to Cubans
in the hope of securing native co-opera-
tin in a possible attempt to hold Cuba
by conciliatory measures.
On the other hand, Spain is in such
desperate financial straits as to make
further prosecution of the war for
any considerable length Of time we'll
nigh impossible. The National Treas
ury is practically bankrupt. An appeal
to France for further loans has been
met by an uncompromising refusal to
increase the extent of the financial OBJ
legation under which Spain already
staggers. Even the Bank of Spain has
failed to meet a governmental demand
for more money. Under these circum-
stances, it is not difficult to believe the
cabled story that Spain fully realizes
the inevitable loss of Cuba and is dis
posed to sell the island to the insur-
gents, the purchase price to be guar
anteed by the United States.
The reply of Spain to the message
from this government delivered by Min
lister Woodford-which is promised to
be forthcoming by October 25-should
therefore be an especially interesting
diplomatic utterance. 1t is not prob
able that a proposition may then be
made looking to the surrender of Cuba,
and that the American Congress con-
vening, in December may be given OPP
portunity for such action as shall result
in the freeing of Cuba and establish
ment Of the independent Cuban Re-
public. And it is not taking too rose
ate a view of the situation to hope
that this desirable contamination may
be reached before the close of the cur
rent year.

of loss were inflicted ~ this calamity
OF the elements and business was
brought to standstill just at the sea-
son when it should have been most
active. Yet these sorely beset people
did not join in a cry to the nation
for aid and succor. When the waters
subsidized they went bravely to work
again to build up the waste places
Not in many years had such abun-
dant crops blessed their toll, and the
dark clouds that lowered above them
threateningly at the beginning Of the
year had lifted and fioated away. Sud-
denly the industrial fabric shuddered
from the first shocks of a calamity
greater and more terrible than that of
flood or storm. The cry Of yellow fever
in the South is more disheartening
than the roar of cannon or the rush Of
flood. 1t prostrates business, paralyzes
the energies of commerce, Gemoralizes
the social order and wastes millions
of wealth.
This misfortune, following so close
upon the heels Of the spring food, has
severely tried the patience and energy
of the South, and on top of it all is
the all-prevailing deadly drouth, which
is worse in the South than anywhere
else. 1t has burned up the crops and
is killing the live stock.
Verify, the South has the nations
sympathy.

Most Deligh ytul One.

The Opera House, last evening, held a

was the advertised attraction, and proved
such. His voice is basso profundo of
magnificent quality, and he uses it per-
fectly. His power Of adaptability to any
style viii be realized by those who were
not fortunate enough to hear him, when
it IS stated that he sang 10 the entire sat
isfaction of critical audience the fol-
lowing selections: The Bandolero," 0es-

Faithful Johnnie" (Beethovem; THE

Mr.. CANDLES singing, not alone, but his
manner of address, and enunciation as
wei, deserves the highest tribute of
praise, and all together make him one of
the most commanding and pleasing con-
cert singers. He VIII be delightedly greet
ed at any future visit. His associates in
rendering an excellent programme were
Miss Grace Updegraff mezzo soprano
and Mr.. Charles w. Boyd, pianist. Miss
Updegraff's beautiful voice was never
heard to better advantage and the enthus-
iasm aroused was deserved. An encore
was imperative and its delivery captivat-
ing. Mr.. Boyd accompanied the singers,
as well as rendered several piano seiec-
tons with good taste. Taken all in all
last evenings performance was an ar
tistic success. not to be easily excelled.

was much poorer IN this worlds goods
when the campaign ended. although
richer by million-fold in the love and
honor of his countrymen. His lecture
tour after the campaign was his own
private affair and as a precedent for
it he has the lecture tours of Republic
can ex-candidates and ex-Presidents,
the difference in Mr.. Bryan's case being
cause, even when it came to figuring up
the box Office receipts, for he invariably
divided these receipts equally with the
local Democracy in the various towns
where he lectured This and his unso-
licited benefactions in other directions
have leftshim comparatively poor man
to-day. whereas if he were dishonest,
or less patriotic than he is or even if
he were but a selfish man. he could
easily have gained great fortune. But
all the world knows William Jennings
Bryan and all the world trusts him,
although portion may fear and hate
him.
The efforts of the Parkersburg Jour
nal and the Wheeling Intel,igencer, to
besmirch Mr.. Bryan comes with very
poor grace from organs of party
whose platform is sham and hypocrisy
where it is not bid for campaign con-
tributions; whose campaigns are cam
paigns of Doodle, wholly and solely;
whose candidates are owned by money
kings and monopolists; and whose lead
er, owner and manager is the embodi-
ment of plutocracy and boodleism in
politics
Shame! Messrs Parkersburg Jour-
nal and Wheeling Intelligencer!
Shame! 1t is a pitiful sight these or
gans present in their puny efforts to
defame such man as Mr. Bryan. One
