-CUofft t Vclock Wednesday evening as
Constable Lndres and Deputy Sheriff
Fraukiin were passing the corner -of
Bryan and West Broad streets their at
tention was attracted by the cry ot mur
der. At the sam? time they saw two
negroes bussing along West Broad street,
■ 'ieMjl\frh.ini started to run and was pur-
Mr- Fndres. There were also
several white bovs in the vicinity, one ot
whom was suffering with a severe contu
sion on the head. Deputy Franklin took
the other negro, who proved to be Lee
Jason, into custody, and carried him to
the office of Justice T. A. Folliard. Jason
then stated that the other negro was Jack
Holmes, ile said he was walking along
the street with Holmes when they saw
two small white boys walking in front ot
them. Holmes said: “What in the
are these white boys walking in front of

bovs wit- a hea\ v stick he Lad in his
hand, knocking them down aud beating
the largest of them severely. The boys
cried murder, and Holmes, seeing the
officers approaching, ran away.
The Ik>v3 who were assaulted arc Mi
chael Frain aged about 11 years, and a
son of John Kilroy aged about . years.
Frain received several severe blows on
the uead. but his wounds are not danger
ous. The other boy’s Injuries arc trilling.
Jason said he had nothing to do with
she assault and was released. Mr. bn
dres pursued Holmes some distance, but
was unable to overtake him. Holmes
recently came here from Augusta, ant.
since his arrival has become known as a
•Coopershop lane recruit.
He was arrested yesterday afternoon
"by officer McDermott and committed to
jail. It appears that be struck the bov
on pure wantonness. He is said to be
an ex-chain-gang bird. Several instances
of wanton assault upon white children

FIRES ON SHIPBOARD.
THFOKIF7SOFTHKIK ORIGIN AND
THE LOSSES THAT FOLLOW.
The Cotton Fichant* and Board of
Trade to Ask the City Council for
Protective Ordinances—What is Being
Done in Other Cities to Check the
Frequency of Cotton Fires.
The annual destruction of property
caused by fire on shipboard growing out
of carelessness where there is inflam
able freight, is one of the most important
items in marine insurance, and the losses
from this source present figures of a
startling nature. During the last thirty
years the record shows that 87 steamers
.sailing from American ports have been
destroyed at sea by tire and 1,898 lives
lost. During this time a number of other
steamers sailing from American ports
have never been heard from, and no doubt
a large majority of them have been de
stroyed by fire,‘that theory being about
the only one by which the fac* that all
traces of them have been lost can be ac
counted foe.
One of the most fruitful sources of fire
on shipboard, according to the best at
tainable evidence, is cotton. Once a
spark of tire gets into a bale of cotton it
seems almost impossible to extinguish it.
The lire may be communicated to the cot
ton on a whart from the pipe of a care
less laborer, or the cigar or cigarette of
an idler, or at a depot by a spark from an
engine, and smoulder in the bale until it
is stowed away m the hold of the ship,
and after the vessel is far out at sea break
out and destroy it.
Maj. Henry T. Butts, a prominent ma
rine underwriter's agent of this city, has
long made the subject of ' tire
oil shipboard a study, and his expe
rience demonstrates that the fire
that destroys an entire vessel and cargo
often has its origin at the whart, a spark
trum a pipe, cigar or passing steamboat
or tug. He bas been in correspondence
recently with the National Board of Ma
rine Underwriters, which is composed of
representatives ot all the leading marine
insurance companies operating in the
United States, and has recently brought
the attention of the Mayor of the city, the
Board ot Trade and the Cotton Exchange
to the necessity of a city ordinance to
guard as much as possible against the
local causes that often lead to serious fires
on vessels and at the feavannah wharf.
The Board of Trade and Cotton Ex
change have appointed committees to
take " the matter under con
sideration and use their influence to
secure the passage by the Board of Aider
men of a proper ordinance on the subject.
The committee were in conference with
Mr. Botts yesterday, and an ordinance
w ill soon be framed for the consideration
i t the Mayor and Aldermen. Maj. Botts
was seen by a News reporter yesterday,
and during a conversation on the subject
he stated that in New Orleans, Charles
ton, Norfolk and other ports ordinances to
compel locomotives, steamboats and other
vtssels using steam power and plying
a (suit places where cotton is handled or
stored to use spark arresters in their
smokestacks have Ueon passed, also ordi
nances to prohibit smoking about such
places by workmen and others, and that
in* considers it highly important
• hit a similar ordinance should
lie passed by the Board of Aider
men of Savannah. He stated that
it is his ex|>erience that the most serious
tires have often been caused by a spark
lodging iu a bale of cotton and escaping
detection until it got such headway that
nothing could arrest it, and that once tire
gets into a bale of cotton it is next to
impossible to extinguish it without taking
the bale to pieces. Mr. Botts has copies
of the ordinances passed by the city of
Now Orleans, and will place them and a
voluminous correspondence bad by him
with the National Board of Marine Under
writers (which he represents at Savan
nah) in the hands of the Mayor to-day.
One of the ordinances require harbor lug
beats, steamboats and other crafts using
steam and running about the levees,
wharves and other places where cotton
and other inflammable merchandise is
stored, also railroad locomotives
running in tbe city limits
where such merchandise is
handled or stored, either temjiorarily or
Iterinanently, to place spark arresters on
their locomolives, and impose a tine of
not less than $5 or more than $l5, or im
prisonment not exceeding five days, lor
each yiolation of the ordinance. The
other ordinances prohibit smoking in
railroad depots, at wharves or on board
vessels where cotton or other inflammable
merchandise is handled or stored, and
provides a fine of not less than $lO or
more than $2O, or imprisonment not ex
ceeding five days, for every violation of it.
Tne ordinances that will be proposed to
the Board of Aldermen of Savannah for
their consideration will lie similar to the
New Orleans ordinances, except that
they will be adapted to the local situa
tion Mr Botts savs that to compel boats
ion. Lawton ami the Cabinet. J T
and locomotives to use spark arresters
will not operate as a hardship on them,
the cost of the arrester being a small
matter.
TIIE 50 HOITK Tit V Ml*.
Beginning or ihe t}n-as-You-l*Jcise
Walking Match at St. Andrew’s Hall
Last Night.
The 50 hour go-as-you-please walking
match between the well-known i>edee
trians, H. J. Davis and George H. Wre
ford, was begun last night promptly at 9
o’clock at Turner’s Hall, in the presence
of a large number of spectators, despite
the very inclement weather. The hall
was staked off so as to form a course for
the pedestrians around the room about
live leet in width aad ol a clreuit of one
thirtieth of a mile, so that each pedes
trian was required to make 30 laps on
every mile. At the south side
of the hall a large black
toard with a smaller board pierced with
thirty holes, was erected on a raised
platform, before which Messrs. J. B. Mar
tin and J. W. Haywood sat and kept the
record of the laps bv means of wooden
pegs inserted in tbe boles on tbe smaller
Iwiard as the circuits were walked, the
number of tbe miles being plainly shown
by figures on the larger board opposite the
pedestrians’ names.
Both men walked in tbe last match
which took place in Turners’ Hall last
fall. and hence they are w;ell
known bv admirers of that kind
of sport. Davis is tbe smaller man of tbe
two, Wreford being fully a head taller
and of larger frame. Davis was dressed
in a white jacket and white knee
breeches, the former showing the figure
’•1” in blue on the back, and the latter
ornamented by a blue stripe oil the out
side of the pants. ...
Wrerord appeared in a white jacket
and knee breeches trimmed with red.
with the figure ”2” ou the back and a
double line of red with an interior stripe
of white ornamenting his breeches.
Neither of the men wore caps or other
head covering. Their walking hoots were
similar in st> 10, bciDij tat?avy anil polished
ami reaching to the ankle.
When the signal was given for the
start both men stepped out briskly*, with
Davis leading in a trot, and Wreford fob
lowing closely behind. The first lour
miles were finished in 42 minutes, and at
11 o’clock the seore indicated that 11
miles and 23 laps had been made, the men
occupying the positions with which they
relatively begun when they first started
on their long tramp.
It was generally remarked that
the condition and spirits of the men were
excellent in every respect, and it is sur
mised that tbe 'contest for the prize of
*3OO a side will be a stubborn one at best.
\t 11 :i>3 o'clock tbe twellth mile was
finished. The thirteenth mile was finished
in 8 minutes, the fourteenth in 15 minutes
and the filteenth in 14 minutes, giving a
total of 15 miles completed at 11:40
o’clock, when the News report closed.
The pedestrians wffre repeatedly cheere;d
bv their friends and a band of music
piaved during the evening. The walk will
doubtless attract a large number of spec
tators up to the finish, which will be
made to-morrow night at II o’clock.

TRIED TO TAKE IN THE TOWN.
A Pseudo Sea Captain’s Operations In
SavimnHh and What They Amounted
toT
On Monday evening a stranger having
the appearance of a sailor entered the
store of W. H. Ray, at the loot of East
Broad street, and ordered a quantity of
provisions and ship stores. He claimed
to tie the master of an English bark lying
at Sapelo outward bound. Mr. Ray
booked his order. He then made a con
tract with the Captain ot the little schoon
er Maid o’ the Mist to carry his stuff,
w itn eleven men and himself, down to bis
ship, stating that he had an invoice of
ship stores coming out on the New
York steamer. He agreed to pay the
Captain of the schooner for the trip and
went aboard the vessel and slept that
night. In the meantime he made a con
tract with a small sloop which was lying
astern ot the schooner Isaac H. Tillyer to
perform the same service. Mr. Ray had
sized his customer up, and did not "send
any of the goods he ordered aboard the
schooner.
The stranger was very talkative, and to
all appearances made a complete expose
of his ship's business. The next morning
he went alioard the schooner Isaac H.
Ti'lvPr lying at Taggart’s coal wharf
waiting a chance to go on the marine
railway. He stated to the Captain that
he was from Atlantic county, New
Jersey, and gave his name as
Shaw'. Capt. Smith of the Tillyer
comes from an adjoining county, and be
came rather interested,as bethought that
he knew everybody in that county, but
could recall no one by the name of Shaw
except a very prominent citizen. The
stranger said that he was the master of
an English bark, loading lumber at Shell
Island for River Platte, and that he would
have to go by way of Sapelo. He also
said that his vessel had been chartered tn
Londouat slfiper thousand. This statement,
as well as the statement that he was a
native of this country and master of an
English vessel, made Capt. Smith suspi
cious. He gave as the reason for his be
ing in charge of an English ship thatYie
hail been a second mate lor three yearr,
and had passed an examination and re
ceived a master’s certificate through
some means, owing chiefly to the length
of time he was in service. This explana
tion was not altogether satisfactory to
Capt. Smith, who was too well aware of
the rigor of British maritime law to take
in the story. The stranger’s statement
of the price of his freight was
too high, the actual rates being
considerably lower in view of the fact
that vessels have not been chartered for
several months for more than sls per
t bousand. The stranger talked a good deal
about himself, on short acquaintance,
and the wily Captain made up his mind
that he was talking for his breakfast, as
be bad ccme aboard early enough. He
thought perhaps he might "have come to
borrow money, but didn’t mention the
matter. Capt, Smith says that he had
every appearance of a man who followed
the sea, but his statements about himself
and his ship were too contradictory to
put much faith in him.
At the drug store of Mr. Osceola Butler
the man stated that he was Capt. Doug
las, Master of the schooner “Outward
Bound,” which was at anchor at the Up
per Cotton Press, and that he desired to
have his medicine chest restocked. He
ordered two dozen bottles of apollinaris
water sent to his vessel, and asued them
also to get his medicine chest and bring
it to the store and restock it. The man
s*-nt to deliver the apollinaris water and
get the chest made a thorough search
along the wharf, but was unable to find
Capt. Douglas, or the “Outward Bound.”
At the grocery and ship chandler es
tablishment of Mr. Henrv Schroder
ho also said he was Capt. Doug
las, master of the “Outward
Bound,” and said he wanted to buy some
supplies for his vessel. lie looked at a
great many goods and priced them, and
acted like a close buyer. He said he ex
pected money from his father, who had
gone North, and left without ordering any
goods.
At the store of Russak ,t Cos., on Bar
nard street, he also introduced himself as
Capt. Douglas, and showed a more lib
eral disposition as a purchaser. He or
dered $250 worth of goods, and appeared
ready to buy almost anything that was
shown him." He said that his vessel, the
“Outward Bound,” was at anchor at
Sapelo, and that he would take the goods
down iu a boat. lie said he expected to
s til for Glasgow, and that he would re
turn and pay for the goods and have them
sent to Taggart’s coal yard. He pocketed
a plug of tobacco and weutaway, and the
tirm heard no more of their iibcral cus
tomer.
Capt. Douglass was next heard of at
the store of Lovell 4 Lattimore. Here he
told about tbe same story regarding his
ship that he told Russak X Cos. lie said
in addition that bis ship was chartered in
England, and that his father owned sev
en-eights of it and he owned one-eighth,
and that he intended to load with lumber.
’ .V* fKK Vi'S
ie cable announces that the Prince of J ‘
’ lie ordered TTo sVoye iTn ms mp,
and when told it would cost $175 said it
didn’t make a bit of
difference to him what it
cost. He promised to return and make
a payment on the stove and that was the
last they saw of him.
He also visited tbe stores ol Palmer
Bros, and other persons and ordered
goods. He is described as a heavy set
man of medium height with a light com
plexion and beard on his chin.
A stranger presented a check at the Sa
vannah Bank and Trust Company on
Wednesday drawn for $125 with the sig
nature of a well-known Bay street mer
chant attached. The teller suspicioned
something wrong as the merchant kept
no account in the bank, and accordingly
t lephoned bint to know if it was all right,
I’he gentleman at once sent his clerk
to the bank and requested the party who
presented the check to accompany him to
his office, lie did so, and the check, at a
glance, was pronounced a forgery, and a
bungling one at that. The stranger said
that be had advanced another party S3O
on the check, and that he desired to get it
cashed. He disclaimed all knowledge
himself of any forgery, and
said he had every reason to believe
that the check was genuine. The mer
chant relused to prosecute as the job was
so poorly done, but advised the stranger
to do so, which he promised he would,
tuit thus far nothing has t>een done. The
stranger who presented the check was of
foreign appearance, and is thought to he
an Italian. From his description of the
party of whim he obtained it it is thought
to be the man Shaw.
Superior Court.
The first case tried in the Superior Court
yesterday was that of the State against
Nora Williams, who was charged with
misdemeanor, using opprobrious words
to another. The testimony was of little
interest and failed to substantiate the
charge, the jury returning a verdict of
acquittal.
The court granted an order approving
the sale of certain property in compliance
with the interlocutory decree in the mat
ter of C. D. Rogers, trustee, complainant,
and Florence "A. Bryan and others, de
fendants.
The attention of the court was engaged
until a late hour last night with the trial
of the case against Lydia Boyce, w ho was
charged with misdemeanor, keeping open
a tippling house on the Sabbath day. The
jury returned a verdict ot not guilty.

HUSSARS AT THEIR BEST.
Drilling for the Company Medal and
Prizes at Masonic Temple Last Night.
. The annual prize drill of the Georgia
Hussars took place at Masonic Temple
last night. In spite of the rain there was
a large attendance of the friends ot the
corps, among them many ladies, and the
seats reserved for spectators on the sides
of the ball were completely filled. The
contest was one or the most spirited
that has ever taken place in the
history of the Hussars prize drills.
It was watched throughout with deepest
interest. There was considerable delay
in forming the troop for drill owing to the
storm, which kept many away. It was 9
o’clock before all tbe Hussars had
reached the ball, but as soon as possible
everything was arranged and the com
pany fell in with 22 men in tile. Capt.
Gordon and Lieuts. Johnston, Pritchard
and Hull conducted the drill.
Tbe first drill was the platoon drill,
in which the company was divided into
two platoons of 11 men each, the prize for
the winning platoon tiding ST>O.
The judges—Gen. R. H. Anderson, Col.
R. J. Davant, and T. P. Bond—occupied
seats facing tbe platoons, which were
drilled alternately for five minutes until
the contest was decided. The first pla
to >n rested atthe expiration of tbe firstfive
minutes with eight men,five having drop
ped out. At the beginning of the second
five minutes six of the remaining eight
were retired, leaving Sergt. Hahersham
and Corporal Minis on tbe floor. The
contest was finally decided between the
two by the retirement of Corporal Minis.
The second platoon retired five men
during the first five minutes, and four
more at the beginning of the next five,
leaving the contest between Sergts. Hun
ter and Winter and Private Gratz Myers.
Private Myers fell out next, leaving the
two Sergeants on the floor at the expira
tion of the time.
Sergt. Habersham, of tbe first platoon,
was again called and was retired almost
immediately upon beginning the drill.
Sergeants Winter and Hunter then
came to tbe front and were drilled by
Lieut. Hull. Sergt. Winter was retired,
leaving Sergt. Hunter the winner for the
platoon.
The company was then called to atten
tion and the classes were made up for tbe
class drills. There were two classes—the
first open to all members for tbe company
modal, and the second open only to those
who had never won a prize, for three
prizes of $25, sls and $lO.
The second class, numbering thirteen
meD, was drilled first. This number was
qiticklv narrowed down to four, with pri
vates Bond, Nicoll and Gratz and Cooper
M yers on the floor. Private Bond was re
tired first, followed by private Nicoll,
leaving the contest between privates
Myers. The drill lasted about halt an
hour, and ended in a victory for private
Gratz Myers, who left the floor amid the
hearty applause of his comrades and the
spectators.
The drill of the first class for tbe com
pany medal was awaited with a good
deal of interest, and was one of the hard
est contested drijls that the company has
ever held. The class numbered 15 men.
Seven were retired at the beginning, and
others quickly dropped out, leaving the
contest, at the end of 15 minutes, between
Sergt. Hunter, Corpl. Minis, and privates
Gratz and Cooper Myers, who also drilled
in this class. Both of the latter were re
tired in order, and the contest lay be
tween Corpl. Minis and Sergt. Hnnter.
It was no easy matter to retire either,
and the drill lasted over an hour, con
ducted alternately bv Capt. Gordon and
his Lieutenants. The interest of the
spectators became deeper as the minutes
slipped by, and half an hour, and then an
hour, with both men still on the floor. It
began to look like a test of en
durance rather than a knowledge
of the sabre manual, for both
men seemed equally proficient and
executed the orders, given rapidly and
many times in a confused manner, with
remarkable precision. It was along con
test, but it finally ended in the retirement
of Corporal Alims, leaving the victory in
the hands of Hergeant Hunter. The Vic
tor was greeted with hearty applause and
received the congratulations of his com
rades. The prizes were then presented
by Capt. Gordon.
The company medal is of solid gold
with the monogram “G. H.” over a sabre,
and is suspended from a gold bar, upon
which the words “Sabre exercise” are
handsomely engraved.
After the drill the visitors became the
guests of the Hussars, and the remainder
of the evening was spent socially and in
dancing.
