New York.-Like a black visaged
tale of the days when Captain Kidd
swept the sea, was the yarn unfolded
in court in Nyack when four youths
with the lure of the southern deep,
strong in them, were arraigned on a
charge of burglary following an at
tempt to steal the $4,000 yacht of
James B. Hammond.
Two months ago the gasoline yacht
Of II. R Humphreys, a member Of
the Albany Yacht club, disappeared
from her moorings off Tarrytown.
Fine cruising and inland yachts were
stripped of their binnacles, glasses,
charts, canvas and various other
equipment.
Chief of Police Curran, of Nyack, had
had detectives working along the riv-
er shore for weeks, and a fortnight
ago discovered a veritable pirates
cove back of the old Flatrock Com
pany property at Mack In machine
shop and rocky recess were
stored various appliances and ap-
purtenances from steamboats,, yachts
and sailing vessels amounting In value
to several thousand dollars.

Cause Of Woman's Suicide at
Council Grove, Kan.

Council Grove, Kan.-Worry over
her inability to find $4,000 in gold
which she knew to be buried In an
iron pot on her farm is believed to
have caused a fit of dependency
which led to the suicide here of Mrs.
Joseph Rutledge, who shot herself
through the head.
The woman's husband had concealed
his savings in his own way, promis-
ing to reveal the cache to his wife be-
fore he died. His death came sudden
ly last February, before he could re-
veal the hiding place.

The next case called was that of
Daniel B. Ennis and Charles Waters,
indicted jointly with having part in
the robbery of the Topping jewelry
store at Milford in January. Fed
erick Johnson, the confessed robber
of the store. was the main witness
against the two negroes, claiming
that Ennis and Waters did the rob-
berry while he waited outside. In
their own defense, Ennis and
Waters disclaimed all knowledge of
the theft, claiming that Johnson
brought the goods to the Ennis
house on the night in question while
they were at home. The jury re-
turned a verdict of guilty and the
nergoes were sentenced to three
years Imprisonment and twenty
lashes, restitution money to the
amount of S9S, to pay costs of pros
ecution and be committed to the
workhouse. Johnson, the negro
who made the confession of having
! been implicated in the robbery, also

given the same sentence as the other
two, with the exception of six
months less Imprisonment, his term
beng for two years and six months.

few minutes afterward, he re-
marked:
well, it looks as though one can
not get decent, fair treatment at a
convention held in Atlanta. Perhaps
a change of the capital to Macon
would be beneficial"
And then later he stated that he
would bow to the will of the party
and would go to Baltimore and do
all in his power to promote party
interests
And then. to show how gentle he
really is, and how the lion can be-
come just like a little limb when
properly tanned, he actually buried
his enmity to Editor Charles Pendle-
ton of the Macon Telegraph, and as
sisted in making him chairman of th'

been induced to this by some covert
limitations that Tom Fielder might be

When the delegation met to attend
to this and other matters, the names
of Brantley, Pendleton, Watson and
Hutchens were put in nomination.
Watson at once arose. And then
to the surprise of many, Watson eulo-
gized Pendleton as the dean of Geor-
gia Democracy" as "one older in the
Democratic party than himself" and
requested that his friends on the dele
cation vote for Pendeton.
The other names were withdrawn
and the election of Pendleton was
made unanimous.
Net results:
Slaton has been assured Watson''
support-provded the agreement i,
not broken.
Watson goes to Baltimore as one
of the delegation, which is bound by
the action of the majority to the uni
rule.

CONDITIONS
Of HEALTH
EXCELLENT
IN AMfRICUS AT PRESENT
No Contagious Diseases are
Noted

That Americas health conditions
are the very best is attested in the fact
that there is no fever or contagious
illness of any kind here, according to
statements of several physicians yes
terday.
This is particularly true as regards
typhoid fever, so prevalent in many
communities at this season, and so
much dreaded. While it is probable
that there may be an isolated case
or two, the fact is not known, and the
belief is general that Americas is
wholly free of fever, or any illness OF
serious nature. This condition is at
tributed to the excellent sanitary reg
ulations in large part, and the city's
pure water supply.
An abundance of pure artesian wa
ter, clean streets, clean premises and
admirable sanitary sewerage system
are all conducive to good health, and
Americas is, indeed, natures santa
rum.
