HITCHMAN GOT THE CHECK.
Ownership of the Central Pay Chez
Settled.

ownership of the Central Pay Check
Settled.
The Central railroad pay check, which
was cashed twice on the night of Nov. g.
after having since been held up by process
of law, found it's way to the Citizens Bank
yesterday, and the bearer received the
money for it.
On the night referred to. a check, drawn
by the Central railroad on the Citizens
Bank in favor Of one of its colored en-
polyes, William Paskil for $26 was Of
fered at the store of NJ. ]. Doyle in pay
ment for bill of groceries. The amount
of the bill was deducted from the face of
the check and the balance was paid Pas
Kill, who presented the paper in cash.
Thus far the proceeding was in due form,
but the clerk who waited on the man
thought later, when he could not find the
check, that he must have given up that
also.
The transaction at the Doyle store was
at about o'clock, and half an hour later
the same check was again offered to be
cashed. This time it was on West Broad
street, at the grocery store of A. Hitch
man. The proprietor Of the store did not
know who the negro was that presented
the check. Pasklll said he was not the
man. He contended that the check must
have been given out to someone else from
Mr.. Doyle's store after he had gone
When Mr.. Doyle found that the check
had been cashed at the West Broad street
store, he went before Justice M Naughtin
ana took out a possessory warrant for
1t. Mr.. Hitchman secured the services of
Mr.. R. M Hitch to represent him in the
case, and the hearing was had before Jus
tee Naughtin yesterday morning
The court held that the defendant was
the bona f1de purchaser of the check for
value and without notice, he having cash
ed it before the fact of it's having already
been cashed was published. The check
was turned over to the defendant.

THEY LIKE SAVANNAH.
The Shakers Anxious to Secure a
Tract Somewhere Near the City.

The Shakers Anxious to Secure a
Tract Somewhere Near the City.
The three members of the Shakers gov
erning board, who have been here several
days, left the city yesterday afternoon for
Jacksonville, where they will meet Mr.. w.
c. Aver, the other member of the board.
1t is understood they have gone down to
look at some property in that section,
which has been offered them, but they
have by no means given up the idea of Sc
curing location and settling somewhere
near Savannah.
Before leaving the city DR.. Slingerland
said he was very much pleased with Sa-
yannah and the country around it, and
that he expected to come back
here and remain good part
of the winter, in the hope of
securing a tract of land which will be
suitable to their purposes. During the
few days he has been in the city he has
been beset on all sides by real estate
agents and real estate owners.
Several railroad companies have
sent their agents to see him,
and it is understood one representa-
tive of the Southern railway came here
all the way from Washington to endeavor
TO induce him to secure a location some
Where on their line. Representatives OF
the Plant system have been DESTROYS of
seeing the Shaker colony go to Florida,
and others have sought them for differ
ent locations.
DIR. Slingerand, however Is impressed
with this section, and if he can find a
satisfactory place around here he is de-
termined to have il. He wants, it is un~
derstood, something like from 5000 to Is, -
600 acres of good farming and grazing
land, which must be on or very near n
railroad. The Shakers are very indus
trious and saving people, and II Is said
they have the cash to pay at once for
their purchase. Efforts have been made
to sell them a number of different places
to the south of the city, but so far, few,
If any, tracts have been offered which
fulfill the requirements.

FUTURE OF THE GRAND DUCHESS.
4 RumOr That She Is to Run From
BOston-Nhy She Was Built.

The report comes from Boston that the
Plant system is contemplating the estab-
ushment Of a steamship service between
that place and New York. 1t is further
said that the Grand Duchess is to be put
on the line when 1t is established. 1t is
also reported that another steamer is to
be built by the system for the proposed
line.
What truth, if any. there may be in the
rumor of the establishment of the new
line is not known. Mr.. NJ. f. Plant, sec
ond vice president of the Plant system,
who is actively engaged in the manage
ment of its steamship lines, said the other
day, that the Grand Duchess has not been
accepted by the system. Until she is &C
cepted the vessels disposition will not be
decided upon, Mr.. Plant said.
There has been considerable speculation
as to the purpose for which the Grand
Duchess was built When the handsome
ship was still on the ways, people were
guessing as to what use she would be put
Even when she was completed, it was not
known what would be done with her.
All this time it was observed that the Of
fcials of the system, who were in a posi-
ton to know, were keeping very quiet
about the disposition of the vessel. They
gave no intimauon at all as to the waters
she would ply
This reserve of the officials was In
way enforced. They did not know what
would be done with the Duchess. She
was built especially, however, for Flor
ida waters, and was to be on the PLANT
m i II
The Plant system was making a specially
of its Cuban business before the insur-
rection. For several years prior to that
time, the business had been growing, and
the officials decided to help it on by put
ting the handsomest and most complete
coastwise steamship in America on the
line.
The Grand Duchess was decided upon,
and the contract was given to the Newport
News Shp-building Company several
months before the cuban war broke out.
Had any evidence of the struggle been
then apparent, it is probable that
the building of the Duchess would have
been postponed
Had the instruction been quelled by
the time of her completion, the steamer
would probably have been put on the line
for which she was built. The first dispo-
sltion of the vessel was to place her on
the Savannah line in the Ocean Steamship
Company's fleet. This was on trial, as
she had not been accepted from the build
ers. She did not prove satisfactory, and
was taken off and sent back to the build
ers. She was under repairs for some
months, and again she went upon the Sa-
vannah line. A short time ago an acct
dent befell her on her trip to New York
and she is now tied up to the wharf suf-
fering from some kind of complaint with
her water tube boilers. The builders and
boiler makers are trying to decide who is
responsible.

CHARITIES slow IN ORGANIZING.
No One Here in Authority to Call n
Meeting.

Meeting.
The promoters of the Charitable asso-
citation are growing anxious about its well
fare, and hope the movement will not
remain in allegiance much longer. 1t has
been struck by a combination of circum-
stances which may delay the work. but
which the promoters hope will soon be re-
moved.
Rev. W. A. Nisbet, secretary of the con-
trolling board, recently selected by a
meeting of the members, held at the
Guards hail. said yesterday that the con-
trolling board wishes it understood that
the delay does not amount to an abate-
ment This idea seems to prevail, he said
and many inquiries have been made as to
what was being done and when the asso-
citation intends to be ready for work.
The cause Of the hold-up, MIR. Nisbet
said is the absence of Mayor Meldrim and
the lack of authority by anyone else. to
call the controlling board together for the
purpose of electing officers and making
other arrangements for the commence
ment of work. 1t would require a very
short meeting of the board to attend to
al necessary business and he thought 1t
should be arranged for at once if the
work is not to be abandoned. Mr. Nesbitt
will write Mayor Meldrm to-day to find
out just when he will find time to con-
Vene the board. If it is too long a time
off the mayor will be asked for his con-
sent to allow some member of the board
to call the meeting.
The business men, who took quite an in
terest IN the movement are anxious for
something to be done at once

INJURED CYCLISTS IMPROVING.

Way TO Recovery.
Mr. s. L. Lazaron and DR.. Jonn S. How
kins, who were injured in bicycle acct
dent on Chippewa square, night before
last, are progressing very well, and the
attending physicians have pronounced both
out of all probable danger.
The gentlemen are well known and
their mishap was a source of much re-
gret 10 their friends. 1t was one of those
accidents which it seems could not be
averted. Mr.. Lazaron, who was the first
TO fall, by reason of losing control of his
wheel, has been riding a bicycle for some
time, and was considered a good rider
His attention was attracted, however, by
sulky approaching from the rear, and
which he thought might overtake him.
DR.. Howkins, who was riding just in the
rear of Mr.. Lazaron, was not expecting
the fall of Mr.. Lazaron, and was, there
fore, riding at a rather lively rate, in or
der to also clear the way for the sulky.
The injuries sustained by Mr.. Lazaron
are the more serious, but he is expected TO
soon be at himself again.
