FOR CHEATING AND swINDLING.
BENJAMIN Schwarz in Jail for Pass
ing a Worthless Check.

ing worthless Check.
Benjamin Schwarz, young white man
well known about town, was arrested and
committed to Jail yesterday ON a warrant
issued by Justice of the Peace Isaac Ma
thans. The warrant charges cheating and
swiudHng, and is based on the passage OF
a worthless check of the face value of Sc. 50
drawn on the National Bank of Savannah.
and signed by Schwarz. The check was
presented by Schwarz to Messrs Herr
mann & Berenthein, proprietors of a bar
on Barnard street, with the request that
il be cashed. This request was complied
with.
The check was used in the regular course
of business. and was finally returned to
Hermann 4 Berenthein, with the state
ment that it was worthless. Schwarz had
not al that time or at any previous time
any funds on deposit in the bank, and the
vcilmzed saloon keepers, accordingly.
swore out a warrant before Justice Ma
thans and had the man arrested. lie was
unable to give bond and was committed to
jail.
II is stated that this has not been the
first occasion when Schwarz has worked
this trick upon the public, and his ac-
quaintances, but that his misdeeds have
been allowed to go unpunished on account
of the friendship those he has previously
swlndled entertained for him 1t is possible
that these win witness his arrest with the
feeling that their leniency has been pro
ductive of neither good nor Improvement
n his character and that other warrants.
based on similar offenses, win follow.

FROST DID LITTLE DAMAGE.
Mainly Young and Weak Plants
That Are Injured.


Vegetation has suffered comparatively
little from the frosts of Monday and yes
terday mornings, though their severity
had made the farmers and florists fear
for the safety of their crops and plants
Cucumbers and canteloupes are quite Sc
riously injured and many of the plants
of these crops killed. but in the fields
where harder plapts Of a larger growth
had been planted, the effects of the frost
are scarcely visible.
The farmers who visited their crops
early yesterday morning saw the plants
covered with frost and confidently thought
that they would have TO bear again the
misfortune they suffered a year ago last
Saturday. when almost the entire crop
of vegetables in the section adjacent to
Savannah was cut to the ground But
the frost of the past two days has done
comparatively little damage and that
which it has caused can be repaired with
more or less readiness. IL has been in
flicted principally on the younger and
smaller plants, that can be replanted in
time for the Northern markets. The case
is not nearly so bad as il might be.

ii is believed the success of the contests

sured. Members of the organized COM
mands of the state troops will be glad TO
come to take part under such conditions,

THE SCHOOL APPROPRIATION.
The 1898 Appropriation Not Yet Ex-
pended.

The 1898 Appropriation Not Yet Ex-
pended.
The finance committee of the County
Commissioners met yesterday afternoon to
pass upon the bills to come before the
April meeting of the board to be held to-
morrow. Among the bills passed upon is
one for $4,000 for the Board of Education.
A bill for $4,000 was also recently passed
for the same board at a special meeting of
the commissioners. With the $38, 900 pre-
viously drawn this will make total of
S5S 600 drawn by the Board of Education
from the appropriation of $4,000 for 1898.
Some confusion seems to exist i'm the
mind of the public as to these appropria-
tons The cost of conducting the schools
is now being paid from the 1888 approprla-
ton and will continue to be so paid until
the end of the present school year. The
appropriation for 1899 has not yet been
made. The appropriation for each year
is made from the tax receipts of that year
and consequently the 1893 appropriation,
when made, will not become available uu-
I'll the taxes begin to come in in the fall OF
the year.
The question of 1899 appropriation will
come before the commissioners at their
meeting tomorrow afternoon, when a
statement of the amount needed for the
coming year will be submitted by the
finance committee of the Board of Educa-
ton
