GOT INTO TROUBLE. A Young Man Who Formerly Lived in Asheville. The following item In regard to a young man who was secretary to Chief Clerk Acee of Superintendent Loyall's office until recently, is printed by the Charlotte Observer: "Holland R Pollak. who left Char lotte three weeks ago, has been arrest ed and jailed in Atlanta, Oa., for steal ing clothes unlimited clothes from va rious people in that city. "Pollak came to Charlotte from Asheville on January 20. He is a good stenographer and easily procured a po sition with the Sou hern railway. At the end of the week he was .discharged for laxiness. He-returned to Asheville, but finding that he could not get his former position he again came to Char lotte. After he had remained here a week he left town; but his trunk, was held at his boarding house, on account of an unpaid bill. "While he remained in this city Pol Iak"s room adjoined the room of Mr. Baird, who is employed In Mr. R. H Jordan's drug store. Mr. Pollak was armed with letters to many well known persons in Charlotte; and he and Mr BtUrd became friends. As the intima cy increased Mr. Baird noticed that from time to time-he missed small ar ticles from his room, and Anally the climax waa raihMl wian hi. . ' ' -.- ua a UK. blue serge suit 'disappeared. But be suspected nothing untH Pollak had gone. Then Mr. Baird and his room mate, Mr. Dosier, made a key to the trunk of their absent friend. "Inside the trunk they found Mr. Balrd's new suit and much clothing be longing to Mr. Dosier. They also found Mr. Balrd's prised collection of photo graphs. The other purloined things that they discovered in the trunk In cluded collars, combs, brushes and va rious other articles that grace a dress ing case. So it is that Messrs. Baird and Dosier were not at ail surprised when they heard of Pollak's taking other folks' raiment In Atlanta." THE A. L. I.'S REGRETS. Resolutions on the Resignation of Cap tain Bookhart. The following resolutions were report ed by the committee of the A. L. 1. to express the company's regrets at Cap wages, and he says heh as plenty of "Whereas. It has become necessary for Captain T.

"Resolved, That Captain Bookhart has by his courtesy and kindness to those in his command and by the faith ful discharge of the duties pertaining to his office secured the confidence of his men, and their good wishes will follow him to his new field of labor. "Resolved, That the A. L. I. tender to him thetr sincere regrets for the ne csslty of his having to leave us and ever wish him a 'howling success.' "Resolved, That a copy of these res olutions be included In the minutes of the company and that a copy be sent to Captain Bookhart and to The Daily Oitixen." The committee was composed of Lawrence Young, Ernest E. Freeman and D. S. Morgan. . SUNDAY. CHURCH FIRE. Slight Damage Done to the French Broad Baptist church. The fire department responded to an alarm yesterday afternoon at 6;35, and found that the interior of the French Broad Baptist church, on French Broad avenue, was ablaxe. The fire was ex tinguished after having done about $100 damage to the floor and ceiling of the building. The heating flue had fired a part of the wainscoting and plastering had to be torn away before the fire could be extinguished. The blase was darting up the wall when the firemen appeared. The alarm bell did not ring, owing to a spring being out of place. The alarm registered, however, and the gong sounded. The apparatus is tested at noon each day except Sunday. Had It been tested yesterday,, the failure would net have occurred. HEADED BY D. B. H. New . York. March 8. The. Tribune'a Albany correspondent ays David B.

CONCERNING PEACE Cut Pretoria is Said to be Pre 1 i ; - paring for a Siege Kruger Calls cn Boers to Strive ' in the Lord's Name free staters will unite - with transvaal breth--i ren. maintaining the . struggle: to the last. London. March 5. rA special to the Times from Lorenso Marques, dated 1 Sunday, says persistent reports con- ' tlnue that the Transvaal republic has opeked negotiations looking to secure peace. On the other hand t Is asserted that the Boers will make a stand at Glencoe and Laing's Nek and that in the mean time the-entrenchments at Pretoria are being:, extended in anticipation of a siege-' A conference between the Boers' president, it ia added, and the general commanding the Boers in northern Natal was hurriedly arranged on re ceipt of the news of Cronje's surrender. Until Thursday night confirmation of the surrender was withheld from the PUbhpV Kruger sent a fervid religious appeal with ordera that", it should be read by: all officers1 to tha burghers, Urging; them to stand fast and Strive in the ame of the Lord, tor unless theyjiaid faith in Him cowardice would set in and their position would be hopeless the moment they turned their backs on the enemy. Their past victo ries; he declared, showed the Lord was on their side. A, special says a high authority in Bloemfontetn declares that In the event of a repulse of the Free State forces the latter . will retire towards the Transvaal and unite with their breth ren there,' maintaining the struggle to the last. , TheBoef casualties at SColenso dur ing the week ending February 25 are reported to be 31 killed and.WO wound ed. . , 4?3v ; PLANS CONCHALED. An air of mystery stin covers the movements of tbemaln British army in Souttb" Africa, though what informa tion leads' through indicates that the campaign "fa being; carried on with steady progress. "There are now practi cally thrfce British armies In the field, one In the Free State, one in Cape Col ony And the ether In NataL All that is uhwh asw nrst and most im portant is that it is in close touch with a Docty or Boers estimated to number 6,000. Speculation as to the method of Rob erts' advance into the Free State Is worthless, so carefully are his Diana concealed. In Cape Colony Generals JJraDant and Clements command two horns, while General Gatacre holds the main Boer force in check. Generals Gatacre and Clements will probably combine and advance on Bloemfontein, with Brabant guarding the right flank. This movement will be subsequent " to securing . a line of communications along the lines of Free State railroads, which, according to the latest dispatch es, seems almost accomplished. The third army, that in Natal, is comparatively inactive. "Its movements greatly depend upon how much dist ance the retreating Boers put between themselves and Buller. RELIEF OF MAFEKING. The relief of Mafeking by a. force from the south may be expected any day. Colonel Plumer's force on the north, however, seems Incapable of ac complishing it. The unexpected activity of the Cape Dutch and the reported likelihood of fighting between them and the Basutos, aided by other tribes having a grudge against the Boers,is regarded as rather ominous. REMARKABLE CASE. Among the wounded soldiers who ar rived at Southampton today from South Africa is Private O'Leary, whose case is remarkable. He was shot in the head during the battle of Colenso. The bullet lodged In his brain, render ing him speechless, sightless and par alyzed. Sir William McCormack. pres ident of the Royal College of Surgeons, acting as volunteer surgeon with the British army, removed a portion of the wounded man's brain and extracted the bullet, and O'Leary has since practic ally recovered his lost senses. It Is said on good authority that the envprnmf nt's budget proposals Include a war loan of between 20,000,000 and 30 000,000 pounds, extending over a pe riod of 10 or 12 years. It Is also anticipated-that the government will Issue 6,000.000 or 7,000,000 pounds In treasury bonds. STAMPED OUT. . , Wocnviiu M c... March 5. Spe cial.

When Cervera's fleet left Spain - the president promptly bad Fort Jefferson on the Tortugas garrisoned to hold as a naval base, thereby 'enabling the blockade of the northern-shore of Cu ba to be maintained. Since that time naval contractors have been Continu ally engaged in completing the great station. . t Under the cimcu instances Secretary Long was astonished the other day to receive an official communication from the treasury department notifying the navy to stop work and get its men away from Tortugas, by April X. as Surgeon-General Wyman of the marine hospital service is looking for a good deal of yellow fever and bubonic plague this spring and will have to use Fort Jefferson, which cost JS. 000,000, : as. a pest house. f MISSIONARY HOUSE V ..DESTROYED BY FIRE BUILDING AND CONTENTS A Tp TAL LOSS INCENDIARISM SUS PECTED.

C, March 5. t Special j George Ratcliffe, a burly negro, paid the death penalty for ah unnamable crime committed Saturday afternoon upon the eight years old granddaugh ter of Matthiaa Holland, a respectable farmer living three miles from Clyde. "At the coroner's inquest this morn ing the following facts were shown:. The crime ,Vas committed , at 4 o'clock. The negro was arrested the same evening, given a preliminary hearing at Clyde, and taken to Jail at Waynesvliie yesterday. About I o'clock last : night Sheriff Haynes. living in the.Jall building, was called upon. Responding, he found a crowd of 40 or 50 masked men, who de manded admittance. He refused and they battered the outside office door open and demanded the lteys to the main prison. They were again refused, and It was also forced Open. . V The cells are strongly built, and could not be easily opened without great damage. Deputy Henson refused to work the lock combination, whereupon the crowd fired, several shots into the negro pris oner, who crouched in his cell, and then retired. ? Fearing that they had not completed their work they Immediately returned and again sent several rounds in his body... "Probably 40 shots were fired in all.""'.' Meanwhile Sheriff Haynes had gone for assistance to persuade the men to stop., -. Solicitor Ferguson responded and tried, to prevail" with them to desist, but his appeals were unheeded. They seemed quiet, organised and de teftnlned, and spoke but few words. None were drlnking.and none were rec ognised. When, the dastardly deed was avenged the crowd quietly departed.
