A DIAMOND ROBBERY.
History Of Noticed Transaction in
South Africa.

l
History of Noticed Transaction in
South Africa.
| Somewhat reconstructed and rein
| forced by well-known Yankee Crooks, y
the men who stole the famous portrait
of the Duchess of Devonshire in 1876
from Messrs. Agnew, the London pic
ture dealers, successfully carried out a
few years later their projected great
South African diamond robbery, the
plans for which had been laid years be-
fore. 1t had been duly noted that the
diamonds were scent by mail coach
every fortnight distance of four hun
dred miles to the nearest railway sta
ton, and thence by train to Port Eliza
beth to catch the mail steamer for Cape
Town and England The plotters had
observed In passing over the route that
the coach had to be ferrled across a
river, the fiat boat being held by a wire
cable. Their idea was to cut the cable
on the night before the coach was due,
and so let the boat free to float down
the river. In that way the deelay Of
some hours would be gained-sufficient
to prevent the train from catching the
mail steamer to England, Consequent
ly the diamonds would then have to be
kept for fortnight in the Port Eliza
beth postoffice.
In Port Elizabeth the acquaintance
of the postmaster was made and Guilt
waited. He was a jovial unsuspecting
man, and had no idea that his new
friends were locating the safe and talk
ing wax impression of his keys. With
this mold they had returned to Eng
land, and in due course the services of
who formerly kept lock-
smiths shop in Lambeth, were requi-
at the suburban mansion.
From this place the general director
presently dispatched confederate
with his wife to start housekeeping at
Port Elizabeth, SO that a place of re-
fuge might be open to the thieves when
the time came for the real work to be
done, and no one could point to them
as lettering strangers without friends
In the district. Thus carefully were all
the plans laid, and then the prime NOV
ers in the plot arrived from England
upon the scene of operations. Their
first business was to buy two-horse
team and light Cape cart. Giving out
that they were ostrich-feather dealers,
they started up country to the river,
and on reaching the ferry put up for
the night. In the darkness one of their
number slipped out and cut the cable,
20 that, as had been foreseen, the boat
was carried down the river eight miles |
before it was discovered the next morn
ng. The mail coach came to the oppo-
site bank, but there it had to stop until |
he wandering ferryboat could be recov-
,red and replaced. Everything fol-
owed as had been forecasted. The mail

THE LAW IS NOT A NEW ONE.
Fertilizers, Like All Property, Is Al
WAYS Taxable.

The decision of Attorney. General
Terrell, sustaining Comptroller Gen
eral Wright in his demands for the
collection of taxes upon fertilizers held
by merchants and farmers on March
18TH, would seem to settle that warm
controversy.
Fertilizers, like lands and wagons,
must be returned for taxation.
But the law is not new one, enact
ed by the last Legislature, as has been
enormously stated. Tt has long been
on tue statute books.
Representative W. T. Lane, of Sum-
ter, in speaking of the matter yester-
day, said that the recent legislature
had nothing to do with it. Hereto
fore guano, owned by farmers on
March 10Th, had not to be returned for
taxation.
This year, it seems, Comptroller
Wright suddenly discovered the omis-
sion and included fertilizers in the list
of properties to be returned and upon
which taxes will be paid.
