HAD PLENTY OF CHARGES.
Detective Murphy stopped Letter
From Prisoner and Closed Case.

Jim Washington. colored, was given a
preliminary examination by Recorder
Myrick at yesterday mornings session of
Police Court on several charges of lar
ceny from one of the river steamers.
The negro was arrested by Detective
Murphy for stealing a bag full of cotton
hooks belonging to men employed on the
wharves. The absence of material wit
nesses caused the continuance of the lar
ceny charges, but the prisoner was re-
manded for trial in the City Court, on
a charge of cheating and swindling. I'M
der the evidence Washington obtained
some other too.s by fraudulent means.
A letter that he had written, while in
the station, to the prosecutor, asking that
he not push the charge, was captured by
Detective Murphy before it had reached
it's destination. and was produced in
court. This document made the case
against the negro clear. His attorney
caused some amusement by asking that
the man not be turned over to the higher
court on charges enough to assure him
terms on the changing that will be
equivalent to life Imprisonment. Recorder
Myrick did not take the suggestion into
consideration, and the other charges will
be inves tigated this morning.

GOOD CROP OF PEACHES.
Maj. G. NJ. RyaIs' Impressions From
a Trip TO the Orchards.

Mai. G. NJ. Ryals. who returned yes
terday morning from visit 10 his orchards
in Worth county, said that the prospects
for fairly satisfactory. though not very
large crop of peaches. are good. The
cold wave of month ago did not mate
rally injure fruit in that section, and
Maj Ryals' ideas on the subject are
what they were before the freeze.
He does not believe there will be a large
crop; is certain, indeed. there will not
but the peaches that will be produced, If
conditions continue favorable, will be of
excellent quality With the glutted mar
kets that obtained last sason, the prices
for the fruit ought to be very much high
er than they were then.
To his surprise he found the crop of
canteloupes in that section practically I'M
hurt by the recent cold He had thought
the plants would be so badly damaged
that crop could not be anticipated with
any degree OF certainty. He found him
self agreeably mistaken.
OF recent years the canteloupe growing
industry has assumed large proportions
and the crop, under favorable conditions,
makes very satisfactory returns to the
growers. The indications are that this
year the crop will be quite large and the
melons very fine.

man Elected at ThunderboIt.
Mayor L. w. Nelson Of the town of
Warsaw was reelected yesterday without
opposition, although but one member of
the old board of aldermen will remain in
office. While there was no opposition to
the head of the Savannah resort there
was rather a spirited contest for four
councimen. James A. Sawyer was the
only member TO be reelected. The new
aldermen are W. w. Aimar, G. c. Warn
and Capt. A. NJ. Calder.
Thunderbolt, or, as it is officially known,
the Town of Warsaw, only has % regis
tered voters and necessarily the election
was rather tame affair when viewed by
those who have witnessed even a hard
tight in the city. a mayor and four
counclmen were chosen and twenty-four
of the registered freeholders entitled to
vote cast their ballots. There were no
fights and 1t did not take five minutes to
count the ballots.
Henry Ambos, William Gray and F. l.
LaRoche were the members of the pres
ent board who failed to get votes enough
to land them. The ticket elected was the
one favored by Mayor Nelson and won by
IA safe majority. The election was held in
the fire station on the bluff, but few per
sons who passed the place on the trolley
cars knew what was going on.
The new board will be sworn in tonight
by the Mayor. The count showed the fol-
lowing: Nelson, IS; Calder. IS; Warn, II;
Aimar, 10; Sawyer, 10; LaRoche, 10; Gray,
