IN JAIL FOR BURGLARY.
Negro Who Robbed Samuel Lyman
Last Spring Captured.

Harry Drake. the negro who robbed
Samuel Hyman of wearing apparel Of
the value of about $175, was arrested
yesterday afternoon by a constable of
Justice Nathan's court under a war
rant sworn out by Hyman. The thief
If now in the county Jail.
Drake. who was an employee of Hy-
man, stole from him on the night of
March 20. several suits of clothes, a
Panama hat, an overcoat and several
other articles of wearing apparel-in
fact, everything in his wardrobe at the
time.
Yesterday Hyman learned that his
man was in town and forthwith went
to the office of the justice and had the
warrant sworn out. The warrant
charges the man with burglary. but
that charge Will hardly be urged
against him, as the negro did not
break into the house to commit the
theft. He gained access to the room
by means of a key which he, as an
employe of Hyman, had in his posses
sion. A warrant for larceny from the
house will probably be sworn out.
The warrant was sworn out at 2
o'clock and within ten minutes the
negro was under arrest. He stoutly
denies his guilt and says he has not
been eluding the authorities.

suit of a trip through Georgia and

The plan of the Department of Ag-
riculture, which has been given in the
Morning News before, is to encourage
the scientific manufacture of sycup.
This, of course, makes it, necessary
that the Georgia cane grower should
know just what are the qualities of his
cane. the kind of lands best adapted
to- itstsuccessful growth ands in. fact,
very many other things not usually
taken into consideration but Of undis-
puted value where best results are de-
sired
Therefore to assist the cane grower
in securing this information the De-
partment of Agriculture has estah-
lished these stations where expert
ments that are expected to give the
information desired will be made and
the resultlpf these experiments with
advice as to their value will be given
to the farmer. 1t is expected that the
agents will not reach their posts until
the beginning of the syrup boiling
season.
An agent will be appointed at Hun

places visited by DR.. Spencer on his
recent trip.

WATSON LIKELY TO GO FREE,
Erratic Verdict In Murder Case May
Give Him His Liberty.

The probable outcome of the spec
tacular verdict rendered by the jury
in the case of Cicero Watson is that
Watson will go free, unpublished and
unwhipped of justice, from under the
shadow of the court. This is the con-
census of legal opinion.
Watson was tried in the Superior
Court Monday for the murder of Joe
Robinson, and the jury found him
guilty of shooting not in his own de-
Tense. R. L. Colding, Esq, counsel for
Watson, stated his purpose yesterday
of moving an arrest of judgment, and
his confidence that his position would
be upheld and Watson would go free.
Mr.. Colding's position is that the
verdict of, the jury was unwarranted
by the evidence-that under no posi-
BILE theory or conception of the facts
could it be justified. .'.- a.
Murder, manS1aughter or not
guilty said Mr.. Colding, might eth
er have been made the jury's finding.
But shooting not in his own defense
why, the jury might as well have found
Watson guilty of thinking out loud.
1 shall move for an arrest of judgment
in the course of a few days, and 1 have
no apprehension of difficulty in sus-
tanning my point. If another attempt
to indict or try Watson is made l shall
plead former jeopardy, and in this
event he must go free"
Other lawyers who were spoken with
on the subject agreed entirely with the
correctness of Mr.. Coldings opinion
and said they had no doubt
the perfect freedom of the defendant
must follow if the course outlined by
counsel is pursued
The case recalls a somewhat similar
occurrence in Virginia, where a Pc
culiarly brutal and causeless murder
had been committed. The trial of the
man who had committed the crime
was conducted before somewhat testy
and very technical judge, who charged
the jury that the defendant, If the
evidence was believed, was guilty Of
murder in the first degree. The jury
found the defendant guilty of muir
der in the second degree and the
judge very promptly and of his own
motion, set the verdict aside. He said
the case was murder In the first de-
gree or nothing and he did not pro-
pose to have his court made absurd
When a second effort was made to
try the defendant his counsel entered
a plea of former jeopardy; it was sus-
tanned by the Court of Appeals and
the prisoner discharged. 1t seems like
ly this will be the result in the case
of Watson.

WENT UP WITHOUT A MISHAP.
Nothing the Matter with Aeronaut
Phillips Performance.


Phillips Performance.
The balloon ascension at the Thun-
derbolt Casino yesterday was an en-
tire success and a source of almost UNI
imaginable pleasure and of some
amaze to the crowds of persons who
watched it. The crowds We're made up
mostly of excursionists from points
along the Atlantic Coast Line.
The ascension took place at $50
o'clock yesterday evening and went
off without hitch. Aeronaut Phillips
went up towards the sky like fash,
suspended from the cross bar of his
parachute and engaging in gymnastics
that seemed to threaten his sudden
death and that excited the awe and
wonder of the crowd.
The balloon took a northwesterly
course after leaving the ground and,
from a dizzy hight, the aeronaut re-
leased the ropes of his parachute and
descended gently to the ground The
balloon went on a few hundred yards
and then dropped in a piece Of woods
without any mishap.
The Casino and grounds were pack
ed almost throughout the entire after
noon and evening, the advertising the
management has done along the lines
of the roads entering the city serv-
ing to attract the visitors straight to
the many delights of 1hunderbolt.
At night the polyscope pictures were
displayed from the Casino verandas
The vaudeville performance this week
is above the average OF merit and
the auditorium rapidly became so
packed with people the management
had to stop selling tickets. The per-
formers had a more enthusiastic crowd
than has been played to at the Casino
for many a night

HEADS AND PROPERTY.
White and COIored Taxpayers and
Their Returns.

An examination of the tax digest for
Chatham county for the current year
shows that there are 1855 white and
1881 colored taxpayers. The former
make an average return of $6278.02,
and the latter an average return of
$427S7.
Some comment was recently made by
an attache of the controller generals
Office, in Atlanta, upon the apparent
fact that the digest showed that of
1915 white persons who paid a poll
tax, there were 1854 who paid nothing
else. The discrepancy Registry Clerk
victor Shrek explains, is much more
apparent than real.
There are Very9many persons said
Mr.. Schreck, whose names appear
twice in the digest4-once in the return
of polls and onceAin the returns of
property for taxation. There is another
large number, who for reasons best
known to themselves, make their re-
turns of property as the property is
held, in the names of their wivesy
These facts will reduce materially the
number of persons who seem from the
returns of polls in the digest to return
their heads only. although of course
IiLat nulhper is very considerable.
Without a diligent and prolonged
search through the digest and an in
volved comparison of results it is i'm
possible to say just how many per-
sons who return their heads give in
that valuable piece of property as their
only possession. 1t is interesting, how
ever, to observe that the number of
white persons who pay taxes on prop
erty is only about SO per cent. Of the
number of white polls. while the num-
Der of colored property owners, as
shown in the digest, is more than 100
per cent. greater than the number of
colored polls.
1t is an exceedingly good showing
for the brother in black-an indication
that more of them have acquired prop
erty than care to vote, while the con-
clusion as to the white voter points in
the opposite direction

STATIONS FIRST ACCIDENT.

Train and Engine Come Together I'm
the Terminals. r.
The. first accident of any consequence
on the terminals of the Savannah I'm
ion Station Company occurred yes
terday morning at o'clock, when pas
senger engine No. 624 of the Atlantic
Coast Line "sidewiped" passenger train
No. q of the Seaboard Air Line, No
one was killed. The injured were:
Engineer Thomas North of the Sea-
board Air Line:~ who was shaken up
and bruised somewhat by a jump he
inevitable.
Engineer H. G. Brown of the Coast
Line, who had some internal hurts.
These did not appear to those who saw
him to be serious.
Miss Lille Mortunero, a vaudeville
singer of New York, who was on her
way to Savannah to fill an engagement
at the Alhambra. She received a cut
on the lip.
R. A. Paine of Union, Ca. who was
shaken up and bruised some.
Julia Herst, a colored woman of
Meinhard, who had her face cut and
bruised.
The Seaboard train was about four
or five minutes late. 1t was bound for
Savannah, and was at the switch
about a mile and a half from the sta
ton when the accident occurred. 1t
was practically at a standstill, the
railway authorities said, when the
engine crashed into 1t.
The Coast Line engine was on its
way to the station to take Coast Line
train No. north. The branch track
it was running on conveyed with that
the passenger train occupied. 1t is
said that Engineer Brown strove to
apply his air brakes, in order to stop
his engine before 1t reached the
switch. Through some defect, however,
the brakes failed to work, and his
engine sped on its way striking the
Seaboard engine and causing a shock
that was responsible for the injuries
of the passengers.
Both engines were damaged, though
not very seriously. A switch engine
was at the scene almost Immediately
after the accident and this brought No.
q into the station.
The wreck was cleared away not
long after the accident. No. 6 was
delayed two hours in getting away
from Savannah, and No. 81 was de-
layed an hour and 80 minutes.

HAS BORROWED NO MONEY.

County Commissioners Have Got
Along without 1t Up to Date.
An error of statement crept into the
account of the probable increase in the
county tax rate published in the Morn
ing News yesterday. 1t was there
made to appear that the county had
already borrowed money during the
year to meet current expenses, when
as a matter of fact no money has yet
been obtained in this manner. 1t is
usual for the commissioners to resort
to this means, however, to meet casual
deficiencies in the revenue and it will
probably be necessary before the end
of the year.

R0USED BY W0MAN'S WELLS.

CONSERVATION Created by Shrieks
and YeIls at ThunderbOIt
The yells and shrieks of a pair of
women in the road back of the bluff at
Thunderbolt excited considerable con-
sternation among visitors to that re-
sort last night. Special officer Clark,
of the Casino force, rushed to the scene
of the bowling to investigate it, but
the women did a hot-foot as soon as
they saw him coming and he never
knew what was the trouble.
Officer Clark rather reached the con-
clusion that somewhere and somehow
the women had managed to get too
much aboard and that they were howl
ing to get rid of an excess of animal
and other spirits.
