The J neper tireetia at Tybro.
This popular corps in full force, accom
panled by their lady friends and other
guests, left the city yesterday morning on
the steamer H. B. Plant for Tybee, where
it wa« proposed to enjov their annual May
picnic. The efficient committee, chairrnaned
by Lieut. Peter Reilly, had attended to all
the details, and on reaching the wharf, after
a pleasant run down tbe river, the excur
sionists found cars in wailing to convey
them to tbe south end, and in a short
time all were safely transported,
and tbe pleasures of the day
■were entered into with zest. The weather
was delightful, the music excellent, the gal
lant Jaspers, their jovial comrades of other
companies and their fair friends were in tbe
best of humor, and of course the hours
rolled by uunoticed. Surf bathiDg. strolls
on the beach and dancing were enjoyed to
the fullest extent. A number who were
reluctantly compelled to forego the all day
trip went down on the half-past five o’clock
boat and had a couple of hours of
pleasure. After twilight there was a return
to the landing, aud about eight o'clock the
steamer left for the city with the joyous
crowd, reaching home safely and In good
time. The day was freighted only with
pleasant experiences, and will be long re
membered by all the participants in the pic
nic.
Under Sentence of Death—A ppllca-
tlon for Respite or Pardon.
Among the prisoners now confined in Jail
is Watt Jackson, a colored man, who is un
der sentence of death for the murder of
Barrett Houston, in Bryan county, on tbe
second of February, 1879, the execution
being fix**d for the 25th of June next.
Abram Neal, who was convicted of the
same crime and sentenced to be hung, died
some months since in jail, as has been men
tioned in these columns. Watt Jackson
had previous to this crime borne a good
reputation in Bryan aud Terrell counties,
w’here he had lived, and we understand
that, a petition is being extensively signed
in those couutiee, to be sent to the Gover
nor, praying him to pardon the condemned
man, or at least commute his sentence, as
it is asserted there were extenuating cir
cumstauceb developed at the trial.
The <>reat Egyptian Vlyufery.
Lost evening Col. T. C. Tryon’s ‘‘Great
Egyptian Mystery and Phantom Dramatic
Company” opened at Mozart Hall. The ex
bibltion had been poorly advertised and as
a consequence the audience waa small,
though select. Colonel Tryon, It ap
pears, had met with various mis
haps, his apparatus was difficult to
work, the music failed to come to time,
and it was about quarter to nine when tbe
performance commenced. Under more
favorable clrcum-tances we are satisfied the
exhibition would be interesting and worthy
of patronage, and the manager promised that
the next exhibition, on Wednesday night
(to-morrow), would be better in every re
spect. The dissolving life pictures were
good, and can only be appreciated by
being seen.
The Concert To-NIghC.
The grand complimentary concert ten
dered Professor Charles 8. Mallette will
take place this evening at the Theatre, and
will be the most brilliant musical event that
has occurred here in years, the best amateur
and professional talent of the city partici
pating. The programme, which is published
elsewhere, Is evidence of the high character
of the concert, and the nertaintj of a rfijh
musical treat.
Tbo box sheet was opened at Bren’s ticket
office yesterday raorolug,and before noon a

Desperately Bad Colored
Pitched Battle.
Gtrla
About four o’clock yesterday afternoon
the neighborhood of Jefferson and Hall
and Tattnall and Hall streets, was the scene
of a regular pitched battle between a lot of
negro girls ranging from twelve to sixteen
years of ags. The greatest excitement pre
vailed, and the streets were throoged with
people. Stones and bricks were thrown
promiscuously, and s&vage hair pulling in
dulged in for some time, when the report
that tbe police were coming put a stop to the
engagement.
Subsequently four of these girls, Rebecca
Clark, Clara Williams, Lizzie Franklin and
Rschsel Bush, were arrested by Constable
White, upon a warrant issued bv Magistrate
Isaac Russell, and were brought Lo the
court, followed by a crowd. One of these
girls, Clara Williams, Is deaf and dumb, and,
It is said, is the worst in the lot, manifesting
a most fiendish disposition, literally, as it
were, ‘‘thirsting lor gore.” It is alleged
that she is the originator of the
frequent disturbances which disgrace
that locality and is looked upon os incorrl
gible. The other girls am scarcely better, in
fact tbe quartette are considered a des
perately bad set, all of them having been in
trouble before. The mother of one of them,
who was present, a decent appearing colored
woman, stated that she was powerless to do
anything with her daughter. The four were
committed to jtil to aw’alt examination for
assault and battery.

Tbe Animal Record.
The Society for Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals has now a Southern organ. It is a
neat and well edited monthly paper, pub
lished in Savannah, Georgia, at the very
cheap rate of tweuty-flvo cents a year. It
is placed thus low that It may find its way
into public schools aud into all educational
societies and clubs, or association * for moral
and social Improvement. The projector and
editor of the Animal Jiecord is the active,
faithful and untiring Mr. Nathan K. Plat-
shek, a young man whose individual exer
tions have been most efficient in holding
together the Georgia S. P. C. Association
that Miss Louise King bad organized. lie
has kept olive public Interest in the society
by suen active movements as distributing
prizes in the various schools for the best
written essay on kindness to animals, gain
ing the school children in a body as tiguers
to and workers for the pledge of mercy, and
securing for tbe annual meeting of tbe as-
soclitlou such attractions os a grand ad
dress by Rev. Cha*. Strong, and a concert of
vocal and instrumental music by excellent
artists. Mr. Platshek earnestly invites the
co operation of parents, teachers and pas
tors in the noble work to which he has de
voted himself, and we confidently trust that
tbe beads of tbe public schools of this city
will introduce the Animal Record to the no
tice of their pupils and interest them la a
movement that is destined largely to Influ
ence the character of the growing genera
tion. The association offers three handsome
prizes to the three persons who may obtain

Charge of Attempting to Inclt#
Insurrection- The Records In the
Case.
Few of the readers of the Morxdio News
nit aware of the fact that a littlo over three
quarters of a century ago the entire grand
jury of Chatham couaty were com
mitted to jail, and that subsequently the
J udge of the Superior Court was arrested
and committed to jail on a warrant charging
him with on attempt to Incite an ioeurrec
tlon. The matter was brought to our at
tention by oar venerable fellow-citizen Mr.
W. H. Bulloch, who stated that In a recent
conversation with Mr. John Williamson, a
casual mention revived the recollection that
many years ago he had heard his father speak
of tbe proceedings which had at that time
created intense excitement, but be was not
advised of tbe particulars, and knew no one
who was.
Feeling assured that the subject was of
sufficient interest to warrant tbe trouble
and time necessary to hunt up the record,
we examined the musty minute books of
the Buperior Court and of the Inferior
Conrt. and are enabled to present the fol
lowing compilation of tbe extraordinary
proceeding, which will be read with general
interest:
a thuxderbolt.
On the 23d day of April, 1804, Judge Jabez
Bowen. Jr., who, it appears, was a Northern
man, and who bad been elected to the bench
of the Superior Court of Chatham county
by the Legislature, convened his court for
the regular term. After the grand jury had
been empannelled, and were in their seats,
Judge Bowen cast a thunderbolt amidst
them, So to speak, by a charge of the most
incendiary, bitter and malignant character,
reflecting strongly upon the people, the Leg:
islature and the State authorities, his theme
being the then existing “Institution ”
This charge occupies four closely written
pages in tbe minutes of that day, and, con
sidering the time and circumstance, may
be considered one of the most extraordi
nary documents on record. The grand Jury
were amaz d beyond meagre, but, it aeems,
retired to their room without expression of
opinion.
The following day, upon opening of court
tbe grand jurors did not appear, and Judge
Bowen oruered a fine of ten dollars each
to be entered against them. This order
had scarcely been recorded when the grand
jury made their appearance, and taking
their scats, presented through their fore
man the following
VIGOROUS ARRAIGNMENT OF THH JUDGE.
We, the grand jury for the body of the
county of Chatham, having taxen Into con
sideration the political strictures delivered
to us yesterday, as a charge, by His Honor
Judge Bowen, do, upon our oaths, present
that it is Injudicial, insulting to our govern
ment, and repugnant to the general
interests of our country, and by dissem
inating principles that may tend to
involve the community In the hor
rors of domestic Insurrection. We,
therefore, without violence to our con
sciences, and a total disregard of the dearest
ties of society ami its welfare, cannot pro
ceed with business.
And we are of opinion, from the reasons
above mentioned, that the sold charge
should not receive publication, but recom
mend that a copy of the charge, and this,
our presentment, be forwarded bv the
Clerk of the Superior Court to His Excel
lency the Governor, and be laid before the
next session of the Legislature for their
consideration.

TOE JUDGE CONSIDERS THE PRESENTMENTS
INSULTING AND SENDS THE JURY TO JAIL.
This candid and forcible expression of
opinion on the part of the grand jury ex
cited the indignation of the Judge,it seems,
and he immediately Issued the following
order:
Whereas, The grand jury of Chatham
county have, by tbeir presentments of this
day, accused the Judge of the Eastern Dis
trict of having delivered to them a charge,
injudicial, Insulting to our government, and
repugnant to the general interests of tbe
country, by disseminating principles that
may teud to involve tbe community in the
horrors of domestic insurrection, we, there
fore, without violence to our consciences,
aud a total disregard of tbe dearect ties
of society and its welfare, cannot proceed
with busiuess, etc.: and whereas, tbe said
presentments are both a direct and gross
insult on thU court, and an open violation
of duty In refusing to proceed In their ca
pacities of grand and special jurors;
It Is ordered by the court tbat the Sheriff
do commit to the common goal of this
county all aDd every member of the grand
jury who has signed the above stated pre
sentments, there to await and abide the
further order of this court; ami os It is the
opinion of the Judge that the dissemination
of the principles contained in his charge to
the aforesaid grand Jury can alone secure
the happiness, and eventually the very sx
lstei.ce of his country, it Is further ordered
that the charge aforesaid bG^tublfshed in
the gazette entitled the Georgia Republican..
J. Bowen, Jr.
[We were unable to find the files of the
Georgian of 1304, but It Is not probable,
under the circumstances, that the charge
was published.]
The grand jury were carried to jail and
there incarcerated, but prompt action was
taken on the part of the citizens, and on the
next day, 25th of April,
MEASURES TO RELEASE TUB GRAND JURORS
were taken by application to the Judges of
the lotirior Court for a writ of habeas cor
pus, the proceedings being as follows:
State vs. William Smith, et. al., grand ju
rors. Habeas corpus. In this cose Messrs.
Mitchell, Noel, Mlllei and Berrien, attornles
in behalf of the prisoners, aided by a com
mittee appointed by the citizens of the
couuty for that purpose, applied for tbe en
largement of the prisoners.
After argument, it appears that William
Smith, foreman, and other citizens (men
tioned by name), composing the grand in
quest for the body of the county of Chat
ham were, in the forenoon of yesterday,
committed to the common goal of this
county by Judge Bowen, under aud by vir
tae of a precept in the words following, viz:
,2b the Gaoler of the Common Jail of Chatham
County:
You are hereby required and commanded
to keep safe in your custody, those member;
of the grand jury committed to vour safe
keeping this morning by the Sheriff, in obe-
dieuce to the order of the Judge of the Su
perior l ourr, until you receive from under
my hand an order for their liberation.
iSIguedj Jarez Bowen, ,Tr.
Which said commitment appears to be
vague, Informal, aud assigns no specific
charge or reason for the commitment, wants
precision, naming no particular persons,
and contains tbis unlawful restriction that
the goalcr should keep them until he should
receive from under said Judge’s hand au
order for their liberation, and being without
date.
It further appears that since the above
commitment Judge Bowen has been con
fined, and in close custody, in the common
go*l of this conntv, which has thereby sus
pended his judicial functions, and created a
virtual absence and legal disability of the
Judge of the Superior Court.
THE JUDGE ARRESTED AND SENT TO JAIL.
In the meantime, as stated above, a war
rant was issued against Judge Bowen, by
Justice of the Peace Pooler, and he was ar
rested and committed to jail on the follow
ing mittimus :
Georgia, Chatham County.
To tlte Keeper of the Common Goal of saul
C\muty:
Receive tbe body of the Hod. Jabez
Bowen, Jr., brought before me on a warrant,
charging him with an attempt to ezeite a
domestic insurrection In this State, and him
safely keen until thence delivered by due
course of Iaw.
Given under my hand and seal, this 25th
April, INK.
[Signed] John Pooler,
Justice of the Peace.
I do certify that the above is a copy of
mitttimus lu my possession, under which I
have the body of the person named now in
the common goal in Chatham county.
[Signed] J. p. Oates,
Goaler Chatham County.
the writ granted and the jurors dis
charged.
The law is cited as authority for the grant
ing of the writ, and the grand jurors were
brought into the Inferior Court, before Jus
tices Edward Telfair, Edward Harden, and
John G. Williamson, when the Court ad
dressed them os follows:
J'VUtm f lizen* : It will be difficult to find a
precedent to meet your cose, at the same
time we flud no hesitation in declaring
your commitment now before the court
Illegal.
Because It strikes at the root of jurispru
dence and, consequently, pats a period to
the present term; without you the lives and
righta of your fellow citizens are In danger;
It is to the grand Inquest they look up for
protection, and without your body the lawa
of the country cannot be executed. Tbe
patriotism, firmness and dignity with which
yon have conducted yourselves with the
patience and fortitude you have displayed
will hand your names down to posterity with
applause.
Citizens, the arbitrary and Illegal con
finement under which you have labored for
twenty-four hours Is hereby declared to
cease, and, therefore, you are discharged
from confinement.
From this record it seems tbe grand jury
were in durance vile some twenty-four
hours, but Judge Bowen hod a longer so
journ In the jail.
I On Friday, the second of June, 1904, a
I writ of habeas corpus was issued for Jabez
Bowen, Jr., returnable before the In
ferior Court. Justices (ieo. Jones, Edward
Hat-den antWohn G. Williamson presiding.
The prisoner was brought before the court
when the following proceedings took place,
and the
JUDGE WAS RELEASED 05 BAIL.
It appearing that the prisoner Is unable
to enter into recognizicce, and his father,
the Hon. Jabez Bawen, of the State of
Rhoda Island, being present and offering to
become bound for the good behavior and
peaceable conduct of sola Jabez Bowen, Jr.
It Is ordered that upon the sold Hon.
Jabez Bowea entering Into a recognizance
himself in the snm of $4,000, and not leas
than three other freeholders of this State In
the further sum of $4,000, conditioned tha:
the said Jabez Bowen, Jr., shall keep the
peace, and in all respect* conduct himself
a* a good and failhfal dtilen of this State
for tbe space or terra of five years, then that
the said Jabez Bowen, Jr., be discharged
from his said confinement.
On the 9th of June, at 6 o’clock In the
evening, the Inferior Court, sitting at chain
bers, approved the bond, snd the prisoner
was released.
Thus ended this singular cose. Judge
Bowen returned to the North, and it Is pre
sumed remained there. The records show
that he did not preside In the Superior Court
afterwards.
The Case of Vllller B. Grant.
Mention has been made of the case v>f
Miller B. Grant, the defaulting Superinten
dent of the Barnard and Anderson Street
Railroad, which was brought before the
Ordinary on Saturday on a writ of de lunatiev
xnquireudo. The Ordinary adjudged him
insane, and directed that he be delivered
into the custody of his friends to be carried
to the asylum at Mllledgevllle.
The Jailer, Waring Russell, Esq., when
the demand in accordance with this order
was mt h* upon him on Sunday evening, aa
etoted, refused to deliver up the prisoner,
and addressed the Ordinary the following
note:
Jailer's Office, i
Savannah, May 23, lv*>. *
John O. Ferrdl, £*J-, Ordinary of Chatham
County:
Sir—Enclosed you will find a letter ad
dressed to me by Solicitor General Smith.
I hold three commitments against M. B.
Grant, all for felony. I do not think I
would be safe in delivering the said Grant,
until authorized by soma action of tbe
Superior Court. I have to refuse vour
order of discharge. Very respectfully,
Waring Russell,
Jailer Chatham County. I
The prisoner, we are informed, declares
he is not iosane, aud that he is willing to
stand bis trial. Tbe latter of the Sollcttor
General notifying Mr. Russell not to sur
render tbe prisoner will explain the grounds
of his action, and as no further proceedings
were taken in the Ordluary’s offi *e yester
day it is presumed he will be held for trial.
Tue letter is as follows:
Savannah, Ga . Mav 22,1890.
Waring RuamelL, Esq., Jailer Chatham County,
Georgia:
You now have in your custody the person
of Miller B. Grant, under commitments for
embezzlement and forgery. Since the time
of his commitment a number of indictments
have been presented to the grand jury for
their consideration, and, after bearing tbe
testimot y, said grand inquest have found
true bi’ls against hhn on each, there bring
eleven in number, ten of them for forgery
aud one for embezzlement. An effort has
been made to day to have the said Miller B.
Grant adjudged a lunatic by the Ordinary of
tbis county. 1 know of no law which au
thorizes the Ordinary to oust the Superior
Court of its jurisdiction over the person of
one charged with, and under a true bill for,
au offense against the laws of this Btate.
Our law provides iu what manner persons
who are charged with crime shall be dealt
with should tfbev be insane at the time of
tbe trial.
Tbe 9th day of June next hs6 been condi
tionally fixed for the trial of the sold Miller
B. Grant, at which time the State expects to
be ready to proceed with the trial, and I ex
pect the prisoner to be forthcoming on that
occasion.
I am very respectfully yours, etc.,

Solicitor General Eastern Circuit of Georgia.
