But they were. They hurried just
across the street to the court of Justice
Charles V. Hohenstein, and finding that
worthy magistrate in, went through the
necessary formalities.
Five minutes after the license had
been granted they were man and wife.
They returned to the Ordinary's Office
and had the license recorded. This
done, they chatted pleasantly with
Clerk Molina inquiring of him the
points of interest. Thunderbolt re-
ceived the distinction of being the first
point touched on their honeymoon.
They were happy, happy pair. The
bride, though young, seemed the senior
of the two. A fashionably dressed,
pretty young woman of blonde type.

AFTER FIVE MONTHS
THIEF WAS LANDED.
Negro Recovered Stolen Property
from Police Then.

from Police Then.
For the theft of fifty caddies of
tobacco on May 2, last. from the South
ern Railway, Sherman Taylor, a negro
was arrested by Detective Murphy yes
terday morning and is held a prisoner
at the police station house.
In the person of Taylor the officers
believe they have a man who has sue
cessfully robbed railroad cars for
months. Trousers have been recovered
that were believed to have been stolen
from the Atlantic Coast Line and posi-
tive evidence has been accumulated
against him in the tobacco case.
During the early part of last May
it came to the attention of the plain
clothes men that a negro was selling
full caddies of tobacco at a song, and
on May 10 Taylor was arrested with
five caddies. He was charged with be-
ing "A suspicious character and every
effort was made to discover where the
tobacco came from. The man was held
prisoner for ten days, after which
he was released for lack of evil
dence.
The police refused to surrender the
tobacco to him and he caused to be
issued possessory warrant that re-
suited in his securing the property.
About three weeks ago it was discover
ed that the tobacco had been stolen
from Southern Railway car along
with forty-f1ve other caddies The
tobacco was consigned to Z. j. Blum
Co., Live Oak, Fla. When this fact
was made known to the police orders
were issued for the rearrest of Taylor.

employed in section gang several
miles from the city and an effort was
made to arrest him last week. He saw
Detective Murphy some distance away,
however, and when the officer reach

working he found only his shovel When

MAY NOT BE PREMIER.
British Vice Consul Doubts ReaIiza-
ton of ChamberIain's Dream.

ton of Chambe rIain's Dream.
The views of Rev. Charles H. Strong
on the political situation in Canada,
especially anent the preferential policy
of Mr. Chamberlain, were read with
much interest by many Savannahians
yesterday.
British Vice Consul Hardness said
that the question is one that just at
this time was absorbing in English pol
itics. While entertaining the greatest
Difference for Rev. Mr.. Strong's views,
Mr.. Hardness was not inclined to the
belief that Chamberlain's path is a
rosy one. Far from it, he thinks the
party opposing him will carry the fight
to the last ditch.
"Chamberlain's dream is a grand fed
GRAFTON of the colonies with the mother
country" said he. "I don't know
whether it will ever be contaminated
Chamberlain is a brilliant man and his
following is large, but there is a strong
party in England against him. This
party thinks his policy is too European.
The colonies are of course attached to
the mother country by ties of patriot
ism, but when their interests are eff
fected they are not inclined to the
adoption of measures which will oper-
ate to their injury. There are many,
too, who, disagreeing with Mr.. Cham
,berlain, believe that his policy will
jeopardize their interests. These do
not favor tax on food products.
Chamberlain, though, as 1 said, is a
power in the kingdom, and his prefer
entail policy may ultimately be
adopted"

Mr.. w. p. kavanaugh's Estimate of
Georgia Cotton Crop.


Georgia Cotton Crop.
Mr.. VIM. P. Kavanaugh returned
yesterday from a trip through the cot
ton country in Georgia with a gloomy
crop report. He says the crop is in
poor condition, and that the prospects
are very unfavorable. The current es-
Inmates in the interior are that Geor-
gia will make at least 100000 bales less
than last year.
Lots of fertilizer was used" said
Mr.. Kavanaugh, but the rains came
along and washed it out at time that
deprived the cotton crop of the benefits
The result is the crop in many sections
has been deprived of fertilization"
Mr.. Kavanaugh also went through
the sea island country, and found this
crop in poor condition in Georgia. He
is used to visiting the sea island fields,
having been in the business a number
of years, and from his judgment does
not think the crop will approach that
of last season. which was 100000 bales
He believes this crop will be at least
$1,000 bales less. Current opinion, he
says, inclines to a crop of around 10000
bales.
