In Its New Home.

The Metropolitan Clothing Company
opened It's new store on Broughton street
yesterday to the public. The store was
prettily decorated with palms. A good
band discoursed lively music and the
guests seemed to be highly pleased. There
lasted the rest of the day. The display
of new spring and summer stuffs was fine
variety of patterns in striking worsteds
and serges sacks and cutaways, were
shown and were very much admired. In
odd trousers checks and small stripes
are the things. The Howes hat, sold ex-
clusively by the Metropolitan, was shown
yesterday in alpines and stiffs the make
up of which considered by those who
knew was pretty and stylish. There was
an abundance of straws-all pretty and
much admired
In shirts there was a splendid display of
stIffs and negligees, plain and fancy. The
patterns were springy and will be pop
ular. In ties, the latest things landed in
puffs and Ascots-the prevailing patterns
one fancy mixed, in blue, red and hello
trope.
Chiidren's suits formed an attractive
feature of the opening. They were in
vestee and juniors with pique vests and
collars. Along with these was a long line
of hats to match-straws In variegated
colors and Napoleons, which are popular
Manager John w. Parker, who directed
the opening. assisted by fifteen statesmen
made a decided success of the first dav

the house Of Mr.. w. b. Sullwen last De-
oember. was acquitted in the Superior
Court yesterday.
Collins wife had been employed as cook
for Mr.. Stiwelrs Family but quit her work
because of some difference with the other

thought that she was in an evil humor
because the money for The time she had
served was not paid when she first sent

thought that his actions were suspicious.
The fire could only have been set from
the yard, a window curtain and some
clothing near il being found in a bsaze.
Collins testified in very straight for

house on the night in question simply 10

The arduous and continued Efforts by

CITY seem about to be crowned with sue
cess. and the people OF the capital may
feel the satisfaction they have long wished
to enjoy in the prospect
To Col W \. 5emphin and Capt Evan
P. Howell the success that has just about
been achieved may be ascribed as much or
more than to any other two men.
They were in the city yesterday, and
were here TO see the Secretary Of War.
After a hot chase they saw him. When
they finally met it was 10 their advantage,
for promise was exacted that Atlanta
is to have troops. But II will NOT ne 20
the detriment of SavaDnah. The present
plan for the regiments that have been
named 20 be mustered out at savannah
holds good with the secretary, and he to.d

Savannah and that are not TO be mustered

cant. Howell was feeling good last nlght
over the success Of his mission He sad
they were not going 10 take any OF Sa-
Nannah's troops away, for all that nave
been ordered here 10 be mustered out Will
come. but he was elatcd over having OBJ
tanned promise OF the others He could
not learn what regiments he might eN-
pect. but his satisfaction at being prom
Ised any at all was enough to bake TINS
a matter of minor Importance mat might
be settled at later date.
Col Hemphnl made such an impression
on the secretary that he WAS invited and
accepted an invitation to accompany him
on his cruise. Capt. Howell received
similar invitation. but was not able to ac-
cept.
The Atlanuans called upon Mayor My
ers. They had been told the quarantine
regulations here would be found a bar TO
troops being taken TO Atlanta. They
wanted to see the Mayor TO ascertain If
they could not get them held up. Atlanta
runs an open-door policy. but Savannah
does not. The A1lantians proposed that
the restrictions be taken of and troops
be allowed to come through the city to
go 10 Atlanta. The Mayor very promptly
told them that he could allow nothing o.:
the sort; that troops will have to be dis
infected as a precaution against disease
of a contagious nature being allowed 10
get into the city.

WATCH is STILL MISSING.
Stolen in January, Neither watch
Nor Thief Has Been Captured.

Nor Thief Has Been Captured.
About the second week in January
lady living on Bolton street had watch,
belonging to her little son, stolen by the
negro housemaid, Lizzie Smith. The mat
ter was reported to the police. whose eff
forts to apprehend the thief were made
after she had departed for parts unknown.
She has never yet been captured.
About week ago, the woman's hus-
locked up as suspicious character the
police thinking and stating that he had
some knowledge OF the theft and could
produce the stolen property if he desired
10 do so. He was kept at the station
house for two or three days and then re-
leased If any information was obtained
from him it has not secured the apprehen-
SIGN of the thief or the return of the
watch.
Almost Immediately after the mans re-
lease he went to the lady from whom the
watch had been stolen and stated that if
he were paid a dollar ne would return the
timepiece by night. OF course no atten-
ton was paid to him and his demand for
money was refused. IL was thought. and
properly. that if he were paid anything,
his departure would mark the last seen
of either him or the money
1t is in this position that the case stands
at present. The watch has been stolen
the thief is known, and she is a negro
woman Of probably not great intelligence.
however she has succeeded in battling
and GLIDING the police for more
than two months. and apDarcnt-
~ is no nearer capture now than she was
the day the crime was committed. At
that time the danger Of her arrest was
certainly not urgent.

The gentlemen representing the health

1t is stated the visitors were pleased in

GREwsoME FIND ON THE SANDS.
Body of COIOred Man That Had
Been Gnawed by Fishes.

While driving on the beach on Black
Beard Island on Tuesday, Capt. John H.
Davereau of Charleston and Surgeon Won
Ersdorff of the quarantine station made
a grewsome find. 1t was the body of a
man. lying half-buried in the sand, with
arms extended.
Later the body was identified as being
that of James Gordon, a colored carpen-
ter. who had been working at the quar-
antine station. 1t seems that Gordon,
against the protest of his employer and
some of his companions, started across The
sound in a small boat in the face of the
storm of Monday, March g.
Nothing had been seen of him since that
date. and it was supposed that he had
been drowned but there was no confirma-
ton of the supposition until his body was
discovered in the sand. Although the body
had been in the water for probably the
greater part of two weeks it was in a
fairly good state of preservation. A part
of the face had been eaten away by fishes,
but otherwise the body was intact

NO PROOF HE IS a MURDERER.
stephen Thompson Discharged From
Custody.

Stephen Thompson, charged with the
murder OF Night Waterman Wan, at the
Central Railway wharves last year. and
who has been under arrest for the crime
during the past few days, was given pre-
liminary hearing before Justice of the
Peace Naughun yesterday afternoon.
The witnesses TO whom il was alleged
that Thompson had confessed his guilt did
not show up a the examination and the
magistrate dismissed the case. There was
no other evidence against the man than
this alleged confession.
Thompson seems to be rather a weak
minded individual and doubtless made some
wandering and incoherent statement,
possibly not bearing at all upon The death
Of Wall, thai the witnesses construed 10
be a confession OF guilt. This was the
view taken by the magistrate, and, conse-
quently, he ordered Thompson's release.
