CLEVELAND, ALIAS "sTEVENs."
InsuranceIRSent went Under an As
sumed Name.

There were no developments yesterday in
the case of George N. Cleveland, charged
by several parties with cheating and
swindling them of moneys supposed to
have been collected as premiums on life
insurance in the Mutual Reserve Fund
Life Association of New York.
The agents of the company here are of
the opinion that Cleveland has been ply
ing this insurance business for some time
but has managed to hold his opera lions I'M
der cover, The prosecutors say they In
tend to push the case to the fullest extent
While at the boarding house, where he
was arrested, Cleveland went under the
name of Stevens" Why this name was
assumed is not accounted for by the Of
ficers,. other than that it was to elude per-
sons with whom he had had transactions
Insurance was solicited as Cleveland, and
when people made inquiries, the name
Stevens" would of course hold him under
cover The trial of the case is to come
up in the city court to-day.

CLAIM FOR LOST STOCK.
1t Turns Up After a FOurteen-Year
AbRence.

The Brush Electric Light and Power
Company is after five certificates, each for
ten shares of it's stock, now in the posses
sion of the Southern Bank, and for the pur-
pose of securing them, or at least deter
mining the title to the stocks, the company
has filed bail in trover suit in the city
court through its attorneys Messrs. Saus-
sy & Saussy.
The certificates are dated May 20, 1888
and it is said they have been lost to the
Brush company for about fourteen years
during which time it has been impossible
to trace 1t until now. The script was sent
to the Southern Bank by some northern
bank for collection of the accrued interest
amounting to about 5000, but when de-
mand was made for it payment was re-
fused on account of the fact that the GER
tihcates were recognized as those which
have been missing for many years.
The Southern Bank had nothing to dc
with the disappearance of the stock, but
1t having come into the possession of that
bank, and the company having recognize
ed the certificates as its property, a claim
for it was made. The claim is liable to
provoke an interesting discussion when il
comes up for a hearing. The par value
of the stock in question is 5000.

FIRE CHIEF ON THE DOCKET.
To Answer in Police Court For De-
facing Public Property.

facing Public Property.
Fire Chief Mcguire is on the information
docket to appear before the recorder this
morning on the charge of defacing public
property.
The charge was entered on the docket
yesterday morning by Clerk of Council
Bailey! at the instance of Alderman Smith,
chairman of the committee on city lots,
within whose province the public build
ings come, after the opinion of the city
attorney had been secured that a charge
could be brought on this ground.
The specific charging against the chief
is causing to be defaced the front door of
the city exchange the property of the
city of Savannah.
Fireman LennoX Taylor, who nailed up
the doors at the instance of Chief Ma
guire, is also on the docket on a similar
charge. The witnesses in both cases are
l. s. Cohen messenger OF council; H. NJ
Lotion, superintendent of water works;
Josh Debro, M. ]. Fraley, Policemen I'm
gar and Schroeder William Carr, York
Milledge and Jwnes p. Zachary, all of
them employees of the city, with the ex-
ception of Fraley.
The incident has caused a good deal of
talk and there willadoubtless be a large
attendance at police court this morning on
account of it. Chief Mcguire will be rep
resented by his attorney, Mr.. A A. Law
renee.
There are rumors of sensational testi-
mony, tending to show how it happened
that the doors of the city exchange were
open at that hour of the morning, but this
testimony may not be brought out.
Mr.. w. L. Grayson, chairman of the fire
commission, said yesterday that he re-
GREETED the incident very much, but he was
satisfied that the act of the fire chief was
an error of judgment and not intended as
an insult to the administration.
Maj. Karow, chairman of the police COM
mission was asked If that commission
would investigate the part taken in the
incident by Policeman Schroeder. He re-
piled that the commission would follow Its
usual custom in this matter and take nc
action until after the hearing in the police
court in order not to prejudice the case in
any way. If anything should develop at
the hearing, he said, rejecting upon the
conduct of a police officer the matter
would certainly be investigated by the
com mission.

MINSTREL LOST HIS sHEkLEs.
One of the Georgias Lost His Head,
Heart and Dollars Here.

There is probability that Recorder
Hartridge may have a big audience in the
police court to-day by reason of the ap-
pearance of a minstrel man of the genu-
inc burnt cork type. The performer who
will appear before the recorder is ]. II.
Howard. colored. who was until recently
with the Georgia Ministries, that appeared
at the theater the other night.
Howard will not be on hand as a per-
former exactly, but more as a witness
against a woman named Mamie Bowen,
who is charged with touching him for an
even $22. He left the show here and later
fell in with Mamie Bowen, who lives in
Congress street lane. After brief visit
to her house, he left only to discover a
shortage of several shekels for which he
had amused the multitudes and run the
gallery god wild with laughter.
Detectives Barrett and Shea found the
woman last night, and lodged her in the
barracks to await a hearing
to-day. Howard will be on
hand to tell his side of the case.
and may render few appropriate musical
selections to the recorders audience.

TO CHANGE HARBOR LINES.
The HutchinsOn's Island and Quar-
nntine Lines to BE Fixed.

Col. ". H H. Benyard in charge of the
government works at st. Augustine and
Mai. E. II. Ruffner, in charge of the works
at Charleston, are in the city. These two
engineer officers, with Capt. C. E. Gillette,
form the board recently appointed for the
purpose of looking into the matter of the
harbor lines at special points in the river.
The special objects for which the
board was appointed are to re-
port on proper harbor lines along
the Hutchinsons Island shore, oppo-
site the city. and on proper harbOr lines at
the quarantine station. The question of
the harbOr lines on the Hutchinsons Isl
and shore seems to have been the first one
taken up. This is the case In which it
was contemplated cutting off considerable
of Hutchinson's Island, just to the east of
the end of the marsh island jetty. The
object of this proposed work was to give
the river a uniform width Of GOO feet for
the entire distance along the wharves on
account of this proposed change In the
confguration of the island several large
claims have been lodged against the gov
eminent, one Of them by the Parrott estate
for about 81 600, an account of which was
recently given in the Morning News, and
another by II. +. Willink the shipbuder
Inc board was in session in Capt. Gil
lette's office most of the day yesterday
There appeared before it Mr.. George A.
Mercer. Jr., who represents the executors
of the PARROT estate, and Hon. Pope Bar
row, who represents Mr.. Wilink. Several
questions with regard TO the Hutchinson s
Island property were asked these attor-
EeYs.
When seen about the work of the board,
Col. Benyard stated that they were mere
~ looking over the maps and papers in
connection with the work before them,
which work he thought would keep the
board busy for at least two days. Moth
ing could be said of the matter, he gave
it to be understood, until a report has first
been made TO the war department.
The question of the harbor lines at the
quarantine station is an important one
and will no doubt be taken up to-day.
The report on this matter will no doubt
determine whether the city will have to
build new quarantine wharves or not
IT has been intimated that the govern
ment might make some change in the har-
Dor lines as formerly proposed, one of the
objects being to mitigate, TO certain ex-
tent the damages claimed for the proper
~ on Hutchinson's Island. gentleman
who is interested in that property re-
marked that the damage was
done when the harbor lines were first
fixed. The property, he said, was damag-
ed when the harbor lines were laid out
the first time. and nothing can now be
done will make them any less than the
claims that have already been made
