DIDN'T WRITE IT HIMSELF.
Capt. Jones Had an Accomplish in
the Telegram Forgery.


There is some probability of compro-
mise in the forgery case against Capt.
Mart Jones whom Detective Scully
brought from Charleston Wednesday, Mr..
John Screven, Jr., from whom the $50 was
obtained on a forged telegraph order pur-
porting to be from Mr.. d. C. Hayward of
Green Pond, s. c., seems inclined to drop
the matter if Jones can arrange to make
good the money fraudulently obtained.
Friends of the captain were at the bar
racks and made an attempt during the
day, to raise the necessary amount. They
were unsuccessful, however, and may have
10 allow the law 10 pursue it's course. The
warrant on which the captain was arrest
ed is returnable to Justice Wickhams
court and whatever adjustment is made,
will have to be with him.
Capt. Jones did not write the telegram
himself and some question has arisen as
to who did write it, In asking some one
else to write the message, the captain may
have placed the facts before them, an
which case the authorities think there
might be two in the case.

THE WORK NOT FINISHED.
Work on the New Beaufort Channel
Somewhat Behind.

II has been discovered that the new in
side route to Beaufort will not be COM
pleted so early as expected. 1t was an
nounced several days ago that the work
would be done within ten days but recent
soundings by one of the inspectors have
developed the fact that there are several
places without sufficient depth, according
to the plans for the new channel, and
dredging will be continued until that depth
IS reached. 1t is said now that this work
will not be completed until nearly Jan. /.
Until the new inside route to Beaufort
has been completed no dredging will be
done on the Savannah river channel Mr.
Rittenhouse Moore, who is working on the
Beaufort channel also has the contract
to dredge in the Savannah river channel.
There has been no work done on the
river channel for several months. The
channel has been shoaling in some places,
and as soon as the Beaufort channel work
is finished, work on the Savannah river
channel viii be begun

PERFORATED WITH BIRD SHOT.
COlOred Boy Wounded In a Fracas in
Jones' Field.

Jones Field.
Three little tots will be in police court
this morning as witnesses to a shooting,
which took place in Jones field, near the
eastern end of Oglethorpe avenue, yester-
day afternoon. difficulty arose between
a crowd of white boys and a negro lad
named Sam Hamilton, which resulted in
the negro receiving a severe wound from
a gun fired by John Stokes.
The white boys started on a hunt during
the afternoon, and had just entered the
field, when they discovered that the ne
gro was following. Fearing, they said,
that he was intending to attack them at
first opportunity, they stopped and would
so no further until he was forced to turn
back. The negro, however, declined to
stop, and a fight soon started, during
which two of the white boys were struck
in the heads with pieces of brick and other
missiles. Young Stokes carried a gun,
single breach" as he termed it, and when
the stones began coming too thick,
brought it into service by firing on the
negro The shot took effect, and while
the negro did not fall, he was painfully
perforated with bird shot
policeman Farrell placed Stokes, who Is
a 1S-year-old lad, under arrest on the
charge of assault with intent TO murder
He was lodged in the barracks to await
an investigation. The injuries are Of no
serious consequence, however, the negro
being able TO walk to his home No. 3l5
Randolph street. The affair created some
excitement in the neighborhood for awhile,
when the report was circulated that man
had been shot.

THE CITY PICKS UP 5000.
That Much Paid for GIeanings From
the CreamatOry.


the CreamatOry.
This is the day of small economies. Pub
lie Works Commissioner Willink has mad1
contract with an Atlanta man by which
the latter pays $500 a year for the CLEAN
ing of all the stuff that comes to the city
crematory. This includes old iron, hides
from dead animals, bones, old tins, rags
and paper.
1t may be some surprise to know that
the contractor expects the last item to
prove the most valuable to him. Paper
of all sorts and conditions is one of the
chief items at the crematory. The con-
tractor expects to keep two men busy
cleaning the paper and other materials.
The paper will be packed in bundles, ship
ped to paper factory and sold for some
thing like 40 cents per 100 pounds. Even
al this price there will be enough to pay
freight and the cost of gathering and pack
ing, and still leave a profit to the con-
tractor.
The city will get a neat sum for what
has heretofore gone to waste. There will
be no more scrap iron DEALS either, while
the contract is in force.

A COIored Boys Attack on Police
Commissioner JacksOn's Child.
Marion jackson, colored, was arrested by
Detective Barrett yesterday and lodged in
the barracks, on the charge of striking
the little son of Police Commissioner J.

Some one at Mr.. Jacksons home heard
noise in the front yard. which sounded
like a slap on the face, and going to the
door discovered that the child had been
struck by the negro. Mr.. Jackson was not
at home, but. on arriving and being told
of the circumstance, decided to have the
negro placed under arrest. He is II years
of age, and, while the case may not be
pushed, Mr.. Jackson at least desires to
impress a lesson on the offender.

who were here with him some weeks ago

II will be remembered the Shakers were
looking for a suitable piece of property in
this section upon which to establish a sort
of fine stock farm, as well as for other
purposes Reports from Brunswick state
that efforts are being made to sell them
a half interest in Sapelo Island upon which
the national quarantine station is located
According to the reports it is said they
are quite favorably impressed with this
property, though they have not decided to
purchase. Several excellent tracts were
offered them near Savannah, and 1t is
quit probable that they will return and
do some further looking around here be-
fore coming to any definite conclusion.

TWO HUNDRED BURIED METERS.
The Frisky Water Measurers' Bust
ness Ended.

Little has been heard of late of the
frisky water meters which caused so much
discussion several months ago. There are
a number still in use, however chiefly by
manufacturing institutions. Some of the
meters which were discontinued because
of the objections of the property owners,
have been removed but the majority are
still in the ground where, however, they
are doing nobody any harm
Chairman Dixon of the water commits
sion, said yesterday that the department
has been running shorthanded for some
time, which accounts for the fact that all
the meters have not been removed. The
city has altogether about 200 meters for
which 1T has no use. They are not dead
loss, however, as Chairman Dixon said
that they can be sold for about what they
cost the city.
