NEGRO APPREHENDED.

..r| & p Eg ..g .l# x 4 81 e. i. =
Acting on a meagre description fur
nished him by telegraph from Man
chester, Martin Burke, special agent
of the Illinois Central railway, arrest
e5 in Dubuque one Joseph Simms,
colored, and brought the prisoner to
this city. The negro is held on a
charge of robbing Ernest Masters,
caretaker of the local I. c., pump
ing station, OF a gold watch, which
article was found on his person when
he was searched by. the Illinois Cen.
trail detective after his apprehension.
The Telegraph Herald prints the fol.
lowing story Of the arrest:
Shortly before 10 O'Clock Thurs.
day night Detective Burke received
a message that a negro had robbed
the caretaker of the pumping station
at Manchester and that he had board
ed an Illinois Central passenger train,
which was due in Dubuque in an
hour. A description of the negro,swas
also furnished. When the passenger
pulled into Dubuque a close watch
was kept. Only one negro got off
but he did not answer the description
A careful search through every
coach proved fruitless. A converse
ton with a brakeman gave the sleuth
a new clue. The brakeman told Burke
that a NEGRO answering that descrip-
ton boarded the train at Manchester
and that he got off at South Junction.
Burke Immediately went to South
Junction. He remained there until
1880. He picked up two suspects and
sent them to the police station. An
investigation proved that the color
ed men picked up as suspects were
not the right men. They were dis
charged. Burke then came down
down town and took breakfast in a
Main street restaurant Coming on
to the street he encountered the tall
negro who got off the train Friday
night and his companion who bore
more resemblance to "dago" than
a negro The latter answered the
description to. the letter. Burke fol-
Owed them The smaller negro had
/ number of bundles with him. AT |
sixth and Clay streets Burke halted

The negro was given hearing be

The negro's story at the preliminary

LATER On second thought the

ficient evidence was not produced to
warrant holding him on other charg-

CAPITAL FOLK LIKE MELONS.
Nearly Quarter of Million Arrived
Here by Water in August.

What looked like a possible shortage
in the watermelon supply at the 18th
street wharf Tuesday evening was re-
lieved yesterday by the arrival during
the day of five boats bringing about
10000 melons from the lower Potomac
and from the eastern shore Of the Chesa-
peake. so that there We're plenty on
hand to meet all demands. The season,
however. is rapidly drawing to close.
and the dealers at the wharf market
look for but six or eight more melon
laden craft before the season ends.
Melons will be on sale at the wharf
market certainly for week or ten days
longer. and vessels with the fruit aboard
may be lying at the wharf at the end of
this month, but as soon as cool weather
comes the demand for melons ceases.
The fact that peaches and other fruits
have been scarce this season has made
the demand for melons unusually good.
According to the report of the market
master in charge at the 11th street
wharf, from the opening of the melon
season early in August to the end of the
month eighty EIGHT vessels. with 24,o.6
melons aboard. arrived at the wharf and
unloaded cargoes.. 1t is stated that three
times as many melons come to this city
by water in August and September as
come by rail in several months of the
summer.
