Charges by Detective Murphy.

Negro Woman Landed on Four
Charges by Detective Murphy.
Julia Ballard, a negro woman known
to the police as -Four Year Sing, who
has the reputation of being a clever
thief, was arrested yesterday at
Broughton and Bull streets by Detec-
tive Murphy and is held at the police
ceny. The officer is looking for a wit
ness in fourth case.
The woman's game was to secure
employment as housegirl of some sort
and to disappear as soon as she could
get hold of something Of value. In
none of the places where she was sue
cessful in securing a position did she
remain, so long as a day. Yesterday
morning the woman secured a place
at No. 607 Habersham street and an
hour later disappeared with a ten dol
lar bill. A report of the theft was made
at police headquarters and from the
description of the woman furnished by
the complainant Detective Murphy de-
cided that Julia had committed the
theft.
The other persons who lost by hav-
ing the Ballard woman in their houses
had been unable to furnish any des-
crtption of her. and not until she had
been arrested by the detective where
the other charges lodged against her.
the woman had made several pur-
chases before she was located by the
officer and only $40 was found on her
person. The prisoner is charged with
stealing skirt from No. q Duffy
street, west while engaged in washing
windows on Jan. Is. She is also al
legged to have stolen SO. so and three
gold rings while employed at No. 3O3
State street several days before the
Duffy street theft was committed. The
woman will be given a preliminary ex-
animation by Recorder Myrick in Po-
lice Court this morning

LANG LEFT THE TOWN.
Manager of One Cent Car Fare Com
pany Has Departed.

pnny Has Departed.
The One Cent Car Fare Company is
thing of the past. C. Henry Lang,
It's general manager and moving spir-
1t, has moved away from town. His
departure was considerably accelerated
by advice given him by Harry
Karger, who had been widely adyer-
tised as treasurer OF the concern and
whose withdrawal from all connection
with its operation was announced in
the Morning News yesterday.
Mr.. Karger's only connection with
the concern, as a mater of fact, was
that he had rented lang office room
in his place and agreed to permit the
use of his name as treasurer, pending
the consummation of the deal for the
street car tickets that were to be given
to the buyers of coupon books.
Some excellent references the man
brought with him from Charleston, the
seeming squareness of the proposition
and plenty of smooth talk united for
a time to induce me to lend my name
to the concern" said Mr.. Kargar. II
really had nothing to do with it.
know I'm too old a bird to be caught
with chaff, but figure that this was
my time-and 1 was It.
AS soon as l tumbled to the scheme
and found out that the trolley COM
pany was not going to provide the
tickets, / tumbled the general man
ager out of my place, erased my name
from his coupon books and circulars
and inserted a notice in the Morning
News to the effect that / had nothing
to do with the scheme.
This morning l took possession my
self of all his books and told him to
get out of town-and get out quick
He got.
II felt that I was morally bound to
make good the promises Lang had
made, and I have been taking up the
coupon books he sold all day long. 1
am out already about $40 on the trans
action. and as there are some books
still unredeemed l suppose l shall be
out something more before the end.
AS l say | feel myself morally respon-
sible and / want to make good"
Mr.. Karger spent a very busy day
and wherever he went he was received
gladly. The article in the Morning
News had put the purchasers of the
books to thinking and they wanted
their money back.

A VEST POCKET PRISONER.
Three-Year-Old Negro Boy Arrested
for Rock Throwing.

for Rock Throwing.
Three years old and little larger than
a patrolman's club, the smallest pris-
oner ever placed under arrest in Sa-
vannah was sent to the police station
house in the patrol wagon yesterday.
Frank Aston. colored, is the name of
the diminutive citizen who will face
Recorder Myrick in Police Court this
morning.
Frank was unfortunate enough to
have thrown a rock that landed in a
trolley car on West Broad street One
of the glasses was broken and Con-
ductor Martin ran the boy down. The
conductor didn't have to do very much
sprinting, for the reason that the Of
fender has not even been walking a
very long time. When the patrol
wagon reached Bay and West Broad
streets the officer in the wagon hesi-
tated about taking the prisoner to the
station house.
The conductor insisted on entering
the charges, and the boy was lifted
dnto the wagon. The patrolman could
almost have placed the prisoner in
his overcoat pocket, and reported the
matter to Supt. Reilly. The boy had
not been placed in a cell, the turn
key fearing that he might crawl
through the bars and make his escape.
Frank was taken before the superin-
tendent by Acting Quartermaster
Kelly, one of the largest men on the
force, and the big officer and diminu-
tive prisoner presented a picturesque
and amusing spectacle. Frank was
turned over to his mother by Supt.
Reilly and the woman was instructed
to have him in Police Court this morn
ing, when the charge will be investi-
gated by Recorder Myrick.

AIDE TO GOV. M'SWEENEY.
Col. EstiIps Appointment ON the
South CargIfna Governors staff.


South CaroIina Governors Staff.
Col. J. Fl. Estill has been honored by
Gov. McSweeney of South Carolina
with the appointment of Honorary Aide
on his staff, with the rank of lieuten-
ant colonel. The appointment was re-
ceived yesterday, and was as unex-
pected, as it is unusual for an appoint
ment of a staff officer to be made by a
Governor outside of his state. Col.
Estill, however, is a native South Car
Gilman, and when he lived in Charles
ton, just previous to the Civil War,
was a member of the Cadet Rihemen,
Seventeenth Regiment of South Caro-
lima militia, and can by no means be
classed as an outsider.
Gov. McSweeney's letter of appoint
ment is as follows:
headquarters
"Adjutant Generals Department,
State of South Carolina,
Columbia, S. c., Feb. 3, 1902.
Col. J. H. Estill-Dear Sir: 1t gives
me pleasure to advise that l have this
day commissioned you as Honorary
Aide upon my staff with rank of lieu
tenant colonel the remainder of my
term as Governor and commander-in-
chief of the volunteer troops of South
Carolina, and would also notify you
that on the 22d day of February l have
ordered a grand parade and review of
the state troops at Charleston, on
which occasion your presence will be
appreciated.
Your commission is forwarded this
day under separate cover. With great
respect, / ann, very respectfully,
m. B. insolvency,
Governor and Commander-in- Chief"
Col Estill is personal friend of Gov.
McSweeney, and besides, they are both
members of the Fourth Estate" Gov.
McSweeney's paper was and is an inf1u-
entail factor in South Carolina
Col Estill, who is a. retired officer of
Georgia State Troops, had intended TO
visit Charleston on Feb. 20 with the
Oglethorpe light Infantry. of which
he is veteran and honorary member.
The Oglethorpes will now be repre-
sented on Gov. McSweeneys staff.
