8 THIEVES PULL TOGETHER [ OARS BROKEN OPEN AND ROBBED AND HOUSES PLUNDERED. 30. K. Frierson and Phil Henry Ar rested for Complicity in the Robbery of Central Kailroad and Charleston and Savannah Cars— Frierson’s Wife Wants a Thief and a Colored Woman Gets Her One—A .Suspicious Lot of Jewelry and Time Pieces—A Clue to Bigger Stealings. There have been some daring robberies on the lines of the Central railroad and the the Atlantic Coast Line in the past two ■weeks. Freight cars havo been broken into with axes, aud jewelry, cutlery and other merchandise stolen. Even bales of cotton have been dumped out, conveyed to a plaoe of concealment, the brands cut out, the bag ging patched, and under cover of darkness Brought to the city and sold readily. On Friday last a negro by the name of Phil Henry was arrested by Constable McDermott on suspicion of complicity in the theft of cotton from the Charleston and Savannah railway, and was committed to jail by Justice Entires. Lust night JI. H. Frierson was arrested on tbo affidavit of F. A. Jones, freight agent of the Central rail road, charging Frierson with being acces sory before the fact to breaking into a car on Tuesday night last and stealing a hale of cotton of the value of #4O. Frierson gave bail in the sum of SSOO, which was fur nished later on. LOOKING CP THE CASK. The case has been very diligently worked jby Constable McDermott. One day last Week one of the officials of the Charleston and Savannah railway reported to Officer McDermott that three bales of cotton, t shipped over the Atlantic Coast Line, had not reached their destination in this city. } One was missing Oct. 5. It was marked . M. & B. 8., from Dr. M. Belienger, and i shipped from Hattersville, 8. C., to C. L. i Montague A Cos. The other two ware from TV. P. Wilcox, and shipped from Allendale, 8. C., to Montague & Cos., and were found | missing Oct. 8. One of these bales bos since turned up ail right. When Phil Henry was arrested he main tained a strict reticence until he learned that McDermott had got a clew to his con nection with some cotton stealing. It ■was learned that on the night of Oct. 9 be bad driven a cart out of town aud brought a bale of cotton into the city before daybreak, in Frier son's cart and into Frierson’s lot. That later in the forenoon Henry was seen with two $5 bills; that Frierson hail sold a bale of cotton to Decker & Fawcett on that day, and Henry had driven the cart back from 1 Decker & Fawcett’s to Frierson’s premises on Ann and Olive streets. TOLD THE STORY. When confronted with these facts, Henry weakened and informed the arrest ing officer that a negro by the name of Heartless Bacon had broken into a car on the Central road and thrown off a bale of cotton near the fair grounds. That it was understood between Bacon and Frierson that the latter should furnish a mule and cart to bring the bale of cotton into the city that night. Heury says that the arrangement was that he should drive the cart and Frierson should go along riding a mule, but that Frierson concluded that it would be best not to go along, but that Henry should take the mule and cart and go after the cotton. He hitched up the nmle, and when he got to the place agre >d upon Bacon had rolled the cotton near the roadway, and wus standing guard with a doublo bareled shot gun and an ax. Henry and Bacon then loaded the cotton in the cart aud drove it to Frierson’s, arriving there between 3 o'clock and 4 o’clock in the morn ing. Frierson sold the cotton and the money was equally divided bv Frierson be tween himself. Bacon and Henry. RAILROAD OFFICIALS SURPRISED. When Officer McDermott learned this he visited Supt. Hege and Freight Agent Jones, of the Central, to inquire if they had iost any cotton. Here it was found that on the day that Frierson sold the bale of cotton three bales were missing. One was from Montgomery marked “J. B. J.” one from "Waynesboro marked “W. N. J.,” and one from Eufaula marked “ONE | O.” Officer McDermott then visited Decker & Fawcett, where it was learned that on "Wednesday last Frierson had delivered them a bale of cotton. It was not branded, and when questioned, Frierson said he had brought it from Liberty county. Henry was then committed to jail Friday night, and a diligent search was made for Bacon. But Bacon could not be found, although Frierson’s place was sjiotted and put under close espionage. Saturday Frierson’s wife appeared in Justice Entires’ office and com plained of what she called “McDermott’s Bpies” about the place, and, not getting much satisfaction, she visited Justice Mo lina's office with a like complaint. FRIERSON ARRESTED. Despairing of arresting Bacon yesterday It was thought best to arrest Frierson, as the game was flushed. Last night shortly after nightfall Officer McDermott, armed with a warrant, and accompanied bv a Morning News reporter, went to Frier eon’s place, a barroom, eating house and email grocery, and Frierson was placed tinder arrest. Mrs. Frierson was prepared for the se-vice of the warrant. The reporter asked Frierson if he had any Btatemeut to make, and he remarked that he was not going to criminate himself. The Centra! railroad, he said, could not prove that the cotton he had sold was cot ton taken from their tram. He said that Heartless Bacon was a “myth,” and he re marked to Officer McDermott, “You couldn’t find such a person.” He did not know what statement Henry bad made, and declined to say where be had Bold the cotton. Officer McDermott said to Frierson that he had used rather strong language to the reporter, who had sought only to get his version of the matter, and Mrs. Frierson then took up the subject. Bhe criticized her husband for the manner of answering, and then proceeded to detail the matter from her standpoint. Frierson’s wife’s story. Mrs. Frierson’s story is that Mary Bacon, a colored woman living in Indian streot lane, near West Broad, hud first ini reduced Henry to her as a horse doctor, and she em ployed him to treat a mule. M*ry had ii equently tried to get a mule and curt for her friend, Henry, and on the morning of the night that Henry had gone after the cotton she had tried to get the mule and cart for him. That night, however, she had cousouted to lot Henry have the mule and cart for $5. Henry said that his brother-in-law, living five miles out of town, owed him money, and that if he did Dot slip up on him at night aud get a bale of cotton for the debt he would neve- get it. If any blame at tached to the renting of the mule and cart, he said, it was hers; that it was understood eha was to l pnid $5 when the cotton was Bold and that her husband sold the cotton and retaining her $5, paid the rest to Henry. Henry had borrowed fifty cents from her a day or two before, leaving a silver watch and plated chain ns security, ami she asked him if he would not take his wuteh and pay that, and also $3.25 that she bod sent to him by Mary Henry to pay for a bond in Justice Reynold’s office for striking a bov. aud be bid her that be had pawned ins work checks with two Herman sin tbs Old Fort and had to take them up. Henry said that Friers m’s wile gave him $4.50 outright for the watch, aud that he got it from Heart less Bacon AT JUSTICE ENDUES’ OFFICE. Frierson accompanied her husband, Officer McDermott and the reporter to Justice End res’ office whore a long colloquy was had, and the woman excused her hus band for being dull and not understanding tue full nature of the questions. Frierson then said that ue had sold the bale of cotton, which weighed 445 pounds, at TV cents wving Henry |>s 81 for it und ieUUi ig the $5 for hire of a cart and mule. Justice End res wrote out a commitment and Frier son was taken off by Officer McDermott in search of n bondsman. Mrs. Frierson then asked the reporter if he would rut go down t > her place. Arriving there, sho went into a fuller detail of the fa ts, ex press ng a fear that she would be arre ted, and that she said would be “awful.” Sho admitted that there is such a person as Heartless Bacon, but she s iid that she had never had hut one transaction with him. That she had loaned him 50 cents, and he had left a watch, coming back 'lie next dav, giving her 00 cents, and taking the watch away. In the course of the interview the hint was dropped that the information was had that a car on the Central road had 1 ecu broken in between Station No. and Mille:>. A SUSPICIOUS OCCURRENCE. Sirs. Frierson listened attentively to this and stafed that a very suspicious thing oc curred last week. A negro whom she did not know came there and left a pnekage at her husband’s place. With a woman’s curi osity she examined it and found that it con tained three clocks and a box of chains. She was afraid to have it in her house, she said, believing it to havo been stolen, and she handed it over to an old colored man, Richard Adams, living just across tho street. She said that she couid get the property at a moment’s no tice; that the party leaving the package had been back once after leaving it and did not inquire for it. She asked tho reporter what she should do wuh the goods, anil she was advised to turn them over to someone for i dvertising and identification. The re porter saw Mary Bacon. WANTED A THIEF. Mary denied emphatically that she had ever sought to hire a cart from Mrs. Frier sou for Henrv or any oneelse. "Miss Alice (alluding to Mrs. Frierson) asked me to get her a thief aud I took Phil Henry to her. I never betrayed her, but she told me the cotton was dumped off at Monteith, and deceived me, for it was dumped off at the race track. Do you suppose I would want to hire the cart aud not get a dollar out of it? All I got was a drink of whisky from Miss Alice ana a drink from Will. They culls him Phi! Henry, hut we knows him as Will. I don’t propose to tell all I know now. Miss Alice was good to me, but when she tries to mix me up in it, 1 will tell a heap when I have to. I never introduced Henry as a hoss doctor. She wanted me to get her a thief, and I took Henry to her,” As Mary was inclined to reserve a very large volume of information for the "big court,” the reporter left her. LOOKED LIKE A FENCE. In the Frierson store Mrs. Frierson stood behind one counter and old man Adams on the other. Tho reporter was invited back in the dining-room, an 1 at a signal Adams followed. Oil tho table were thro < new clocks, two of which were very ornamental ones, anew watch and three bunches of watch c mins. Adams said that the prop erty was brought to him last we k by Mrs. Krierson, who wanted him to retain it until An owner could bo found for it, and the old man added, "is dis all you wants with me? for 1 must be goto’,” anil with that lie went out. Mrs. Frierson thought it best that the property should be taken to the Morning News office, advertised and identified. She did this, she said, to show that she would not have goods that might have been stolen on her premises. The goods were brought to the office and are advertised this morn ing. Mrs. Frierson went on to say that Heart less Bacon, whom she knows as “Jack,” Phil Henry and Mary Bacon have been trying t > use Mr. Frierson and herself as tools, and she believes that tho package of Clocks and jewelry left at the hou-e is part of the plot. She says that her husband is dull, unsophisticated and easily duped. ROBBERY OF THE CARS. There is little doubt that a portion of the jewelry recovered last night is from the theft one night last weak on the Central road. The Central folks have been trying to keep it quiet, but it is known that a car was broken in with an axe and a lot of jewelry stolon. It is evident that a lantern was sused, tis thestolen goods were carefully selected. Another car was broken in in the same manner and a lot of clothing stolen. Burned pieces of paper were found in the car, showing that they were used as a light. The Central his its detectives trying to hunt up the thieves, but they have made little progress thus far. TO GET AT THE FACTS. Dr. Kieffer Summoned Before the County Commissioners. “Yes, I have some news,” said Dr. E. J. Kieffer yesterday. “I have been informed officially that tho committee of the county commissioners, appointed to investigate the complaint filed against me by City Physioian O vens last week, will meet in tho clerk’s office to-morroiv at 4 o'clock to look into the matter. "I have no preparation to make,” said Dr. Kieffer. “I have only been waiting to lie called before tho commissioners. lam glad that the commissioners will see exactly how the matter stands.” The matter referred to was mentioned in last Thursday’s Morning News. Dr. E. J. Kieffer, county druggist, was reported to the commissioners for refusing to furnish a colored man medicine free. City Physioian Owens tiled the charge. He states that the colored man was unable to pay for the medicine. Dr. Kieffer says that he can prove that the negro was not a pauper, that he was an able-bodied man, and being such, ho was barred from getting medicine free. The case will be thoroughly investigated to-morrow before Commission ers Read and Dorsett, the committee ap pointed at the last meeting to look into tiie matter. Revivals at New Houston Street. Very interesting meetings havo been held every night for two weeks in Now Houston street church. The public services have been led by the Methodist ministry of the city, also by Rev. Mr. Way of the An derson street Presbyterian church, Revs. Messrs. Holmes and Royal of the Baptist church *nd the young men of the Young Men’s Christian Association. Rev. Mr. Simmons, the pastor, has been encouraged to continue the meetings another week. The church was densely crowded Sunday night to listen to a sermon from the text: “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the children of men is fully set in them to do evil.” Had to Quit the Road. A rather romantic wedding took place last night at the residence of Mrs. O’Neil, 29 Jones street, the bridal couplo being Thomas L. McCay, formerly an engineer on the Tybee railway, now a machinist at Waycross, and the bride a Miss Flora D, Ran of Conuelton, hid. The groom had not seen his brido for a year, and it is said that she came all the way hero to be wedded. As long as Mr. McCay ran on tho road siie refused her consent, and when he accepted a place in tho shops, she came on and became his wife. The officiating clergyman was Rev. .Mr. Simmons of New Houston street M. E. Church. Death of A. B. Goodman. A. B. Goodman of Richmon 1, Va., formerly of the firm of Goodman & Myers, of this city, died in Richmond Saturday night, and was buried there yesterday. Mr. Goodman wus the father of Messrs. S. M., M.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1888. GROCERS FORM A TRUST. A MOVEMENT AGAINST SLOW CUS TOMERS AND CUT PRICE : . Twenty-Five Retail Firms Already In the Trust—How It Is Organized—The Regulation of Prices One of the Ob jects of the Movement—Will the Present Price of Groceries Be Ad vanced? It is pretty well known that tho retail grocers of tiie city have organized what is called a “Grocers’ trust.” The trust is com posed of about twenty-five firms. C. W. West is preside’,t, VV. G. Cooper, vice president, aud John S. Haines, secretary and collector. The members propose to pay monthly dues of $1 paeh, aud a general list of ail the very bad class of debtors i to be furnished ea n member of the trust. Every effort is to be made to collect these debts, and the secretary is to receive a commission for all he collects. The trust may be said to be in its infancy. It is to be governed by a board of directors, which will m, et monthly. One grocer was asked if the trust intended to raise the price of groceries, and he replied that it might hereafter take steps to prevent a cutting down of prices and attempt to regulate prices to prevent the presentplan of slaugh tering prices: that a certain profit above New York prices will very likely bo estab lished. Another grocer said that he did not think ttiis would be attempted—that is, the fixing of any arbitary price, and if attempted he did not think it would be successful. It would give others who did not go into the trust, ho said, the chance to cut, and take away the trade; but he said that there will be an effort made after a while to stop the jobber* from retailing goods at prices tliat are charged to retail dealers. The trust, it appears, will lie able to agree on the dead heads, but it does not now appear that it will put up prices. THROUGH THE CITY. Items Gathered Here and There by the News Reporters.

Cary, luperintendent of the nee dle work and art department of the Georgia state fair, was in the city yesterday solicit ing exhibits. He thinks that tills year’s fair will surpass any fair that lias been held in Georgia. Extensive preparations are in progress, and every effort to make it a suc cess is being made. "The outlook is encouraging for an im mense exhibit,” said he. “W L. Glessner has thoroughly advertised the fair up north and President Northen has been working the matter up in the counties. They are both encouraged over their success, and look for a 'display and attendance that Georgia has never witnessed before at a fair.” "I have been canvassing tho towns and cities in the state for the past few weeks," said Dr. Cary, “and I find that everybody is alive and looking forward to tho fair. All the little towns along the line of the Cen tra! railroad are going into it with ail ear ue-tuess that moans something. The pre miums are larger by several thousand dol lars this year than they were last year. We give $15,000 away in premiums this year. It is the expectation of tho presi dent to have at least fifteen coun ties represented by displays. Last year there were only about four. The railroads have consented to transport everything over their lines free. Tie Central railroad is doing its part in making the fair a success. The Central and East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad have each given #SOO to the fair, besides reducing the rate to 1 cent per mile round trip. The fair opeas Nov. 5, and continues six da s. ” “How about tho needle work and art de partments.” ‘lf everything else is a failure, this de partment will be a success. I have devoted my whole time and energy to the depart ment, and expect to have over SIO,OuO worth of needlework, etc., on exhibition. The premium for the best piece of needlework is SSO. Lost year the premium was awarded Mrs. Stubs of Savannah. There wore thirty-seven contestants tor the premium.” Dr. Cary said that Savannah had not done its part by the fair, and he was here for the purpose of stirring the people up He said that he will return in a few days and circulate among the jieoplo again. Dr. Cary is also state fish commissioner. He said that he had planted about 18.000 carp in the open waters of the state during the fall. All tue rivers in the state have been supplied with carp. This Is the first time car]) has ever been planted in open waters in the state. Dr. Cary thinks that be will be able to plant several millions next fall. Where they have been planted in the rivers, Ue has noticed that they have grown very successfully. In the spring ho will begin hi3 plant of shad. "I plant about 20,000.000 shad ev.ery spring,” said he. “All the streams have been pretty well supplied with them, but I will continue my plauts until the streams are stocked.” An effort was made to establish a shad hatchery in Atlanta, but it singularly failed. The artesian water injures the eggs so thiTt they will not hatch and tho other water used in Atlanta gees through tue filtering process aud the gas iu tiie water kills them. The planting of shad was begun eight years ago. The first plant that was made was 3,000,- 000 fish. Each year since, the number bos increased until now 20,000,00') are planted every spring. Dr. Carey thought that he would be able to bring the car p plant up to the same number of fish per year as shad. THE CITY’S MORTALITY. The Death Rate Last Month Lower Than it Has Bean in Years. The September mortuary report pub lished by the sanitary board has just been issued. The mortality hist month was 74, the lowest with two exceptions in twenty years.

Several hundred barrels were received yesterday. “Whore do you ship them?” a dealer was asked. “All over the country. Our trado ex tends into Florida. Over 400 barrels were shipped to Florida yesterday. You see the season for cabbages in Florida and through the entire south Beg run out,and the supply has to come from the north. The cabbage season in Florida will begin again in Janu ary, and by that time the northern cabbage will be played out, and the markets will be supplied by the Florida cabbage. The cabbage that c mie.s from the north go in wholesale lots at 9 cents a head and it is difficult to supply the demand at these prices. The interior towns in the state take large lots.” “What causes the great demand.” “The scarcity of other vegetables on the market. Turnips are about the only vege tables that are raised here now and they are not at all plentiful.'’ TICKET AGENT HUNT RESIGNS. To be Traveling Passenger Agent of the Port Royal and Augusta.
