RECOVERED GARTER BUCKLES.
They Were Gold Ones valued at $25
and Caused Much Trouble.


A pair of gold garter buckles, valued
at $25, was the starting point of row
in one, of the magistrates courts yester-
day morning, which resulted in two other
arrests. The case, or rather cases. for
there were several female defendants,
but the performance before the justice
was interesting.
A woman swore out a possessory war
rant for the recovery of the buckles,
which were held by another woman named
in the paper The constable arrested the
woman, supposed TO have the fancy at
tachment for silk garters, and carried
her before the court. The officer found
that she had already put the buckles to
use and took them from her person. She
agreed to surrender the property and paid
the costs of the attachment
The defendant, however, hated to see
her money go that way and to get even,
went before a second magistrate, and had
a peace warrant sworn out against sis
ter of the prosecutrix, and required her
to give bond. The woman under the peace
bond did not take kindly to this action
and returned to magistrate No. l, before
whom she swore to a warrant charging
the woman who had been in possession
of the garter buckles. with larceny.
She alleged that cloak had been stolen
from her by the woman who had the
buckles, and for the second time that in
dividual was arrested. She refused to
surrender the property this time, and
claimed it as her own. A preliminary ex-
animation was held and the defendant
was discharged on the ground that the

TALE OF A WATERMELON.
Tom Baker Let His Appetite Get the
Better of His Judgment.


Better of His Judgment.
Tom Baker, colored. was befonre the
Recorder yesterday on the charge of
stealing a watermelon from Nick Peter
son. According to the stories of the
witnesses of the theft Baker grabbed the
largest melon that he could get away
with and started to do the 'hot foot"
down the street. The owner of the mel
on lost no time in giving pursuit. He
is a larger man than the thief and being
unencumbered soon overhauled. the fugi-
tive, whom he grabbed around the waist,
lifted bodily, and marched with him back
to his shop.
The negro hung on to the melon so
that the procession looked a good bit
like the Mother Goose story of the cat
catching the rat, the dog, the cat, etc.
When Peterson reached his shop he at
tempted to carry negro and watermelon
in, but the negro braced his feet against
the sill and in his efforts to force him
in Peterson threw him forward and both
men and the watermelon went to the
floor, the watermelon first, Baker next
and on top Peterson. Needless to say
that the melon was not in the game
after that as edible fruit
Baker claimed in the Recorders Court
that he had given another negro a quar-
ter to pay for the melon and supposed
that he had done so, and that it was,
therefore all right for him to get the
melon in the way he, did The Recorder
Thought otherwise, however, and remand
ed him to the City Court on the charge
of larceny. There he put up
the same story and was given
by the Judge until next Friday to pro-
duce the man to whom he gave the
quarter.
There were several other cases, but
none of more than passing interest.

its four weeks session at the Georgia

literary exercises. Prof H. l.. Walker
presided.
The exercises were unique and inter-
esting. There were songs. select, read
ing and declamations. Each participant
was clothed and masked to represent the
author of his recitation, and the audience
was amused both by hearing the selec-
tions and by being asked TO name the
authors
The real work of the institute ended in
the afternoon when all of the classes as
sembled in Meldrim Auditorium, and
many teachers spoke of the benefits
which they have received Many will
return to their homes to-day; others will
remain here until Monday. President

HAD sERGEANT's COAT.
Ex-Motorman HoiIey Arrested in
Augusta for Larceny.


Augusta for Larceny.
Butler Holley. formerly a trolley car
motorman, was committed to Jail yester-
day morning on a warrant from Magis-
trate wickham's court, charging him
with larceny after trust, from Mounted
Police Sergeant Walter Fleming. Hoey
was arrested in Augusta, and was
brought to Savannah by Patrolman
Eivers.
Sergt. Fleming charges that he loaned
an overcoat to Holley last winter, and
that Holley left the city suddenly, and
went to Augusta with the garment. The
policeman learned that the eX-motorman
had been making efforts to sell the coat,
which was an old police coat, and made
an effort by correspondence to get the
garment In this he was unsuccessful, and
Holley's only reply was a rather short
letter.
The officer did not like Holley's man
ner, and had the arrest made in Augusta
on a warrant sworn out here At an eX-
pense of SO he had Holley brought to
Savannah by officer Eivers. The prison.
er demanded preliminary hearing and
was committed to jail by the magistrate.
At the hearing 1t developed that while
in Savannah Holley had boarded with
Officer Fleming, and the prosecutor
claims that the trolley car man not only
left with the coat. but also owing him
a board bill of $44. The prisoner ex-
pressed a desire TO return the property
after he had been brought to this city,
The prosecutor had already been put to
too much expense and refused to relent
The coat was put in evidence and iden-
titled by Sergt Fleming, and is now held
by Magistrate Wickham. Holley was I'M
able to furnish bail for his appearance
and his case will be investigated at the
next meeting of the grand jury. Just
before his arrival in Savannah HolleS
was arrested in Augusta on a charge
sworn to by a woman. He managed tc
straighten matters out at that time, by
paying a sum of money.

CAMPS HAVE BEEN SLIM.
Savannah Commands Have Not Fol-
lowed Examples of others.

savannah Commands Have Not Fol-
lowed Examples of Others.
The First Regiment of Infantry has not
considered an enoampment for this sum-
mer, ana 1t will not do so. Nor have the
Savannah Volunteer Guards thought
about an encampment The reports that
have appeared of the encampments held
by other commands this summer have
not been of a nature to lead the Savan-
nah commands to think that there would
be very much advantage in an encamp-
ment. The attendance has been very
slim, and the interest in military way
has not been astonishing.
The Fourth Regiment had a camp at
cambridge. The four companies that
gathered had to drill in single rank to
make any sort of q showing. The Sec
ond Regiment went to Warm Springs and
had a hot, hard time of it, with only
three companies. The Third Regiment
is now at Washington, and its ranks are
decimated The Fifth Regiment is going
to Dalton, and ii is safe to say that
there will not be any great force shown.
An officer of the First Infantry said
yesterday that such encampments will
tend to prejudice the minds of legislators
and senators against the idea of state
encampments. They will see the very
poor showing made by the regiments that
enter camp, and will conceive the idea
that encampments. at their best, are not
much coed. They will also think ac-
cording to the officer. that the members
of the military organizations have so
much money that it is not necessary for
the state to make eny appropriation for
an encampmenta The members of the
commands that have gone into camp this
year have paid their own expenses, and
that will lead to the belief that they
would lie able to do so every year, If
they desired to go into camp.
