LOST HIS JEWELRY AND CASH.
Jury Decided Against Robertson in
His Case Against Graham.

HIS CSlSt AH0Ahsl OIanHIn.
The greater part of the time of the City
Court yesterday was occupied in hearing
the suit of R. L. Robertson of Augusta
against Charles F. Graham, proprietor of
the Pulaski House and Hotel Tybee, for
S15s.
This amount was stated to be the value
of watch jewelry and money claimed to
have been lost by Mr.. Robertson while in
bathing in front of the Hotel Tybee one
day last summer. Mr. Robertson's state
ment of the case was the same as that
published in the Morning News at the
time. He checked his gold watch and
chain, diamond stud and pocketbook with
the girl in charge of the lighthouses at
the same time that he secured a suit. He
pat the check in his pocket, leaving his
clothes in the bathroom and locking the
door, carrying the key into the water with
him. On his return he found the ba tn
check missing. He at once notified the
party in charge of the bath office. and
was informed that the check had already
been presented and the articles secured
All efforts to obtain any clew to the party
who obtained the articles proved unavaiI-
ing, and Mr.. Robertson presented a bill
to Mr.. Graham, proprietor of the hotel.
for the amount of his loss. Mr.. Graham
refused to pay the bill and suit was enter
ed Mr.. Robertson's attorney, Mr.. w.
F. Slater, claimed that the hotel was
liable for the loss. because of the fact
that there were other keys which wound
open the door of the bath room besides
the one given Mr.. Robertson, and that
the bath room was so opened. and the
check for the valuables obtained In This
manner.
The attorneys for Mr. Graham Messrs
w r. Leaken and ]. NJ. Dreyer. claim
ed that all ordinary care and diligence
had been exercised by MIR. Graham, and
that he was not responsible for the safe
keeping of the check after it had passel
out OF the hands of his agent The t,rv
took the latter view of the case and rem
dered verdict in favor of Mr.. Graham.

FEWER BOXES OUT OF ORDER.
Mr.. Farrand to KeeP at His Investi-
cation.

Chief Mcguire and Electrician Farrand
of the Gamewell Company continued their
investigations of The condition of fire
alarm boxes yesterday, but with no con-
siderable results.
Quite a number Of boxes were examined
and alarms sent in, with a view to locat-
ing trouble. There was not as many ex-
amined as the day previous, and the result
did not show a proportional number to be
out of order. 1t is not believed very many
discoveries will be made in the other in
vestigations. though The Fire Commission
intends keeping Mr. Farrand here until
the apparatus is again In perfect working
order.
II is the desire of the commission to
have the bells strike regularly and accu-
ately, in order that the public will have
no trouble locating fires when the bells
sound.

which amounted to less than half an inch
In spite of the fact that the month on the
whole was an unusually cold one, no

Bad Manners.

The violation of common decency
and the rude vulgarity of the goldbug
journals. who do the bidding of Lom-
bard street patriots, in their treatment
of Mr.. Bryan, snow the degrading
aud demoralizing influence of the rule
of gold monopoly. The American
people will resent the ridicule of Mr..
Bryan for Offering his services to the
government in time of war. They will
fail to appreciate the reason why Mr..
Bryan may not be a soldier in some
subordinate capacity. which he is
abundantly capable of filling, while a
large army OF sons who are nobodies
are trusted with high commissions be-
cause their fathers were somebodies.
The spirit of the goldbug press is fully
exhibited in a long editorial in the
New York Sun of Wednesday, June s,
1898. After displaying the malignity
and vulgarity of gold monopoly for
ial concludes as follows:
If mustered in by the United States.
Colonel Bryan and his politlco-Thes-
plan regiment ought to be detailed to
guard the Carson City mint till the
war is over.
Why such language should be used
with regard to Mr.. Bryan and the Car
son mint by journal which is delight
ed with every dude appointment in

parasites of Wall and Lombard streets,

Missouri Republicans.

Never was a political party in a
more peculiar situation than that in
which the republican party of Missouri
finds itself to-day. From all over the
state there comes clamorings from the
faithful that meeting of the state
committee be held in order that state
convention may be called; one Chaun-
cey |. Filley is chairman of the COM
mittee, however. and Chauncy I. evil
IDENTIFY does not intend that his party
shall have a convention this year.
The republican party in Missouri
feud, but it was never split so wide
open as it is to-day. 1t is in about the
same situation as Spain. 1t has its in
surgents and its Carlists. Filley IS bot
tied up, and its reserve fleet is not sea-
worthy. In St. Louis the Filley and
kerens factions hate each other as
ever, and Mayor Ziegenhein. having
split with Filley, is building up a fac
tion of his own. In Kansas City May
or Jones is trying to do the same thing.
All through the state there are bitter
fights growing out of postotfice con-
tests. The knives which were used in
other years have been cast aside, and
every man has armed himself with
machete.
Filley would act with wisdom if he
never called meeting of his commit
tee, for there is no use of republican
convention in Missouri this year. The
scalp hunters are anxious to get at
each other, however. and they may
afford the rest of the state some
amusement by their battle. One satis
factory feature is that it makes little
difference who wins or who loses. If
it be Filley, the postmasters will at
tend to him, aud if it be victory for
the pie dispensers Filley's tomahawk
is equal to the occasion. x. c.. Times.
