BAND LEADER ARRESTED.
Hugo ockerman Held by Police on n
Charge of Forgery.


Charged with forging the name of
E A. Massart to an order for $40, Hugo
Ockerman, until recently leader of the
First Regiment Band. is the occupant
of cell at the police station. The
arrest was made last night by City
Detective Frank Wall.
The First Regiment Band was or
ganized by Z. A. Massart and it has
been due to his efforts that It has
kept on its feet. The organization
has had several leaders. and for quite
a while Ockerman was at its head.
Mr.. Massart trusted him implicitly
and considered him a valuable bust
ness adjunct to the band. besides be-
ing able to acceptably fill the role Of
director.
The father of the band, as Mr.. Mas
sart might be termed. went TO Val
dosta several days ago for the State
Fair. 1t is alleged that the forgery
was committed during his absence
from the city. II is claimed that no
one had the authority to sign his name
and that Ockerman signed E. A. Mas
sSrt to an order on the Savannah
Electric Company for $40. The mon
ey was paid over on the forged or
der. which is held as a voucher by
General Manager Maggie. AS soon as
Mr.. Massart returned to the city and
learned what had happened, he re-
ported the matter to Detective Wall
and asked for the arrest of his former
leader. Ockerman will be given
preliminary examination by Recorder
Myrick in Police Court this morning.
The case of Ockerman is not the
first one of the sort in the band
Mr.. Massart had a similar experience
with a man named Sternad. who first
sprung into the public gaze as the
business manager, advertising agent
and leader of the band. He hustled
for business for the organization and
was finally arrested on complaint Of
Mr.. Massart on a criminal charge.
At that time he was employed by the
Savannah Electric Company as adver-
Using agent for the Casino at Thun-
derbolt Sternad was able TO give
bail for his appearance in court when
called upon. but towards the close Of
the season suddenly left the city with
his wife. lust what ever became of
the charges against Sternad is not
known.

DEATH CLAIMED PRISONER.
Negro Charged with burglary Died
in Prison Hospital.

In the prison hospital on the fourth
floor of the county Jail, Sam Jenkins.
a negro being held on a charge of bur-
glary, died yesterday morning from
consumption. He had been in bad
health since the day of his commit
ment, and the disease was not con-
tracted in prison.
Jenkins was taken to the police sta
ton house on Aug. 10, last, by James
Black. who alleged that the prisoner
had burglarized his home on the night
of Aug. 8. When arraigned in Police
Court Jenkins denied his guilt. but the
evidence against him was sufficiently
strong to warrant Recorder Myrick in
remanding him for trial in the Supe-
rior Court. Confinement began to tell
on the frail prisoner, and even, before
grand jury had indicted him for a
crime that he persistently denied he
committed, death claimed him. Jen-
kins was married and his wife called
at the Jail to secure the remains of her
husband, ar

FOR COUNCIL TO SAY.
What VIII he Done About the Odors
From Fish Scrap Vessels.

w hAt VIII be Done A bout the OdOrs
From Fish Scrap Vessels.
The petition of business men, bear
ing many signatures, asking the City
Council to abate the nuisance of ships
that have been freighted with cargoes
of menhaden fish, was filed yesterday
with the clerk of the City Council. 1t
will be presented at the meeting of the
board to be held next Wednesday. 1t
is quite possible that some action will
then be taken, as the nuisance il a
constant one and there is general cry
against it.
Mayor Myers had a talk with Health
officer w. +. Drummer about the mat
ter. The health officer told the Mayor
that the unpleasant odor was not a
menace to the health of the city, and,
this being the case, the Mayor held
that he could take no action upon his
own authority.
1T is matter for the consideration
Of Council" the Mayor said. 1T re-
mains to be seen whether that body
will declare the fish scrap odors a nui-
sance and pass such Legislation as will
prevent such vessels lying at the
docks"

STOLE A CAR OF SPIRITS.
Another Brilliant Coup of Tim Phil
lips of Starke.

Another Brilliant Coup of Tim Phil
lips of Stnrke.
New evidence of the peculiar ability
of Tim Phillips, the white man arrest
ed at Starke. Fla. by Special Agent
G.. S. Fitzwater of the Seaboard Air
Line, has been discovered. Phillips
win have a hard time of it when he is
arraigned in court to answer to the Of
lenses that have been placed at mis-
door.
1t will be recalled that Phillips
finesse was displayed to such partic-
ular advantage through his knowledge
of railroading, and the methods of bill
ing freight. This enabled him to sub
stitute bills of lading of his own pro-
duction for those of a bona fide char
acter, thereby diverting whole carloads
of naval stores from their intended des-
tinations and consignees. He would
send cars to some factorage house for
naval stores, for instance, that he pre-
ferred. changing the bills of lading to
make it appear that a fictitious ship
per sent them. At the address of this
fictitious consignor, he would await
the appearance of the check in pay
ment.
In addition to the two cars, one of
rosin and the other of crosSies, that
came to light few days ANY it has
now been discovered that Phillips
shipped carload of spirits go urpen-
ton from the very yards of the Sea-
board Air Line at Fernandina to the
]. p. Williams Company at Savannah.
Now 1t happened that there was a
vessel loading at Fernandina that was
being held for that very car of spirits.
The result was that the Fernandina
consignee at once began inquiries. The
railroad made a search, finally locating
the car at Savannah. The spirits had
been ,Gpaded here, but the casks.
about sixty in number, were at once
put back in the car and sent to Fer
nandina to the original and rightful
consignee.
Had this scheme worked. it would
have netted Phillips about $1,000.

AFTER LONG FREEDOM.
Negro Woman Who Escaped From
Hospital Is Caught.

After more than three years freedom,
Dora Gilliard, an escaped convict from
Chatham county changing, was
brought to Savannah yesterday morn
ing by Detective Jenkins of Macon.
The woman had been living in Macon
during the greater part of the time.
The prisoner was originally convicted
of larceny and given a term on the
chaingang. Shortly afterwards she
made her escape. but was captured and
put back to work. The woman was in
a delicate condition, and had to be sent
to the Georgia Infirmary where she
could secure proper medical attention.
On June %, 1899, while an inmate of
the infirmary, she managed to make her
escape. No trace of her could be found,
and 1t was believed that she was dead.
The county officers were rather sur
prised when they received word from
Macon that she had been arrested in
that city.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

The heavy advance in the price Of Pa
cihc Coast Hops is well shown by num-
Der OF large payments made to brewers
by E. Clemens Horst for the repurchase
Of contracts OF the late firm of Horst
Brothers, hop growers. One of these
payments has just been made by him to
Ind, Coope & Co., Id. Burton-on-Trent,
England, who received net cash pay
ment Of t23,OOO.OO for their hop con.
tract.
While these amounts are clean profits
to the brewers, the hops are now being
resold at more than the sum of these
payments plus the contract prices, and
the brewers that have sufficient stock &c
get along without the contracted hops
or that expect lower prices later on, are
taking advantage or reselling their con.
tracts
