we were going in the same direction.
Instead of giving us a civil answer,
he became abusive and one Of the

New York, Feb. 15.--Postal Inspector
Cortelyou and Detective McNally of
Jersey City have arrested Adolph ia
cobson on an indictment by the grand
jury for grand larceny and obtaining
money on false pretenses. The COM
plainant is John Kasensak of Halle
ton, Pa.
Six months ago the postal authorities
al Jersey City received several COM
plants against the Consumers Dis
filling Company. and the Traders
Surety Company of Jersey City and
A. B. Powell Company, Hoboken. II
was alleged that the three companies
were composed of the same persons.
The Consumers Distilling Company
sent out agents who represented that
they had a large quantity OF whisky in
bond in the Hudson county warehouse
and were willing to sell II at less than
market, rates, the. purchaser to pay
one-third down, the balance TO be paid
on the delivery of the goods. The con-
Germ referred to the Traders Surety
Company and the A. b. Powell Conn
pany, both Of which commended the
Consumers company.
A raid on the three concerns was
planned, but the managers had taken
fright and fed. The Hudson county
warehouse proved 10 be a myth. All
that remained was the stock of the
A. B. Powell Company at Hoboken
This was seized, but instead of whisky
1t was found that all the barrels and
bottles were filled with water. Jacob

QUIETLY TowED HER OUT.
Brunswick Builders Surprised n
Darien Company.

bfunsWfck buftueFs surprised at
Darien Company.
Brunswick, Ga, Feb. 15.-when the
employees of the Hensell- Briesenick En-
cheering Company, who have been do
ing the work on the Darien steamer
Mallory, reported for duty yesterday
morning, they were very much. sur
prised to find that the tug was gone.
Foreman Hansell was notified of the
missing tug. and he was as much mys-
titled as the others. knowing that the
tug was not ready to be returned to
her owners.
An investigation followed. Mr..
Briesenick knew nothing of the tug,
and, like the others, was at a total
loss to understand what had become
of her. He had received no informal
ton that the owners in Darien were
going to send for the boat, and the
disappearing of the tug caused much
anxiety for several hours.
Finally, however, 1t was learned that
the tug Dandy, also owned by the Sap
elo Towing Company of Darien. had
entered port some time between and
3 o'clock yesterday morning, hitched
a tow line to the Mallory and proceed
ed to Darien without notifying any
one connected with the Briesenick-H Hen
sell company.
None of the employees of the COM
pany. or any one else in the city, saw
the Dandy when she entered or left
port, but il seems that the captain of
the Mallory knew that the other tug
was coming for his boat.
Just@why this was done on the part
of the Darien people is not known, and
Mr.. Briesenick says he does not quite
understand the action of the company.
The Mallory has been at the foundry
of the Briesenick- Hensell Company for
some time. undergoing repairs. She
was on the marine railway for a week
or two, and was then tied to the
wharf to await other repairs on the
machinery. which was being done by
the company.
Another strange part about the mat
ter is, about half. or rather some very
important parts of the tug were left,
and she is absolutely worthless with
out them. 1t Is a part of the machin-
cry which was inside the foundry being
repaired.
The engineer of the Mallory is in the
city, and he received a telephone mes
sage for Capt. WILLY of the Sapelo
company at Darien yesterday to tell
Mr.. Briesenick TO send the balance of
the boat over on the steamer Hessie
Monday, but this will not be done, I'M
less some arrangement is made be-
tween the Brunswick and Darien COM
panies.

FEAR FOR PEACHES.
Growers Do Not Like Warm Wealth
er-News of Americus.

er-News of Americus.
Americas, Ga, Feb. 15.-Fruit grow
ers about Americas are somewhat APP
prehensive as to the safety of the
peach crop. The recent change of
weather, now almost oppressively
warm, has caused the buds to swell,
and many peaches of the later varie-
ties are in bloom already. During
recent years large orchards have been
planted in this section, and the peach
crop is one second only to the cotton
crop. Its injury or loss from a March
freeze would be disastrous indeed.
Hon. w. A. .Dodson and Col. J. B.
Hudson have been. named as delegates
to represent Americas at the organi-
cation of the Greater Georgia Asso-
citation, the meeting to be held in At
lanta on Tuesday.
There will be more building in
Americas this year than during any
two years combined within the past
decade. Real estate is active and
many sales at advanced prices have
recently been effected. An ice factory,
cold storage plant, three storage ware
houses and large number of resi-
dences will be built The population
there is a great demand for houses
and not a dwelling is vacant in any
portion of town.

of the Presbyterian Church here was

day. The installation service was cons
Quoted by Rev. r. E. Douglas of Ma
con.
Sumter is going to work with a will
to the end of making a fine county ex-
hibit at the State Fair.
The long season of rain, extending
over a period of two weeks, has great
~ interfered with farm operations
here, and farmers are greatly behind
with their work. No blowing can be
done, and the preparation of lands for
corn planting is thus delayed. Farmers
will plant more corn than last year,
when the crop was too small and re-
suited in many of them having to buy
corn now. The oat crop is very fine.
The recent advance in the price of
cotton had the effect of clearing the
warehouses here. About 1,500 bales
were sold, and only 300 or 400 now re-
main in the warehouses. Cotton re-
ceipts in Americas, for the season to
date, exceed 10000 bales.
