made to plant more trees and undo the

MOONSHINRH mozo again.
All Effort to Convict Him of Per -
jnry—Not Evidence Enough.
William T. Mozo, of Montgomery coun-
Y. was before United States Commission
er Marion Erwin yesterday to answer the
charge of perjury. Mozo was a defendant
In one of the Long Pond moonshiners’
cases tried in the United States Circuit
Court last November. The government’s
witnesses swore with great nositiveness
tnat Mozo was at Mcßride’s store the
night the raiders wore tired on, and ho
w as asked by the prosecution if he did not
•to to Tom Johnson's bouse the same night
nd tell him that a raid was in progress.
Jlozo denied going to Johnson’s house
tnat night, and claimed that he accident
ally met Johnson and George Wilder near
Jleßride’s stoie.
Chiefly upou his own statement Mozo
was acquitted, and the statement, if it
was not true, was the most beautiful bit
of fiction ever narrated in Judge Speet’s
court room. Johnson was afterward tried
and convicted, and is now in Albany
j>enlteutia-y. Since the trials United
Mates Attorney Darnell was informed
that Mrs. Johnson has said thnl Mozo
was at her husband's house on the Might
of the shooting. When asked about it
yesterday she declared that If she ever
made any such assertion she could not
remember it. She swore also that she did
not see M"r.n on the night in question.
George Wilder swore that he was not
In Montgomery county on the night of the
(•hooting, and he knew that Mozo did not
Bccliim nt Mcßride’s that night.
The evidence was not considered strong
enough to hold Mozo, and he was dis
charged.

t-avanoali seems to be getting the tirst

fruit. Small shipments are expected daily

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. MAY 39. 1888.
NEXT TO FIRST PLACE.
THE HOME CLUB TURNS THE
TABLES ON NASHVILLE.
The Tennesseeans Defeated 12 to 7
Savannah Oets a Batting Streak and
Punishes Nashville’s Lett - Handed
7 wirier—The Home Club still Second
In the League Race—How the Other
Clubs Stand.
The sixth week of the Soutborn League
season closed yesterday. The Savannahs
have played 21) games and are second in
the League in the race for the pennant.
Atlanta leads, with Nashville third and
Memphis fourth. Macon and Augusta
are tied for fifth place. Chattanooga is
sixth and Charleston is still at the bot
tom. Memphis’ creeping up to fourth
place and Augusta dropping down from
fourth to fifth wore the only changes in the
position of the clubs last week.
A CLOSE RACK.
The race this week will be close and
exciting. The leading olubs are closely
bunched. There is hardly a probability
that Savannah will got the lead as Atlan
ta is four gamos ahead. There will be no
off tlav. Savannah will play Augusta
fourgatnes and Macon two. Atlanta will
play Nasnville four games and Memphis
two. i'lie only chance for Savannah’s
taking first place is tor Atlanta to lose
five games and the home club to win five.
The tight lor second place will be be
tween Nasnville and Savannah. Each
club has won and lost relatively the same
number ot games, but Savannah has
played two games less than Nasnville
and her oereeulage of games won is slight
ly greater. If Nashville wins four games
this week and Savannah loses three,
Nashville will take second place. There
is a bare possibility that Memphis will
take third place.
The number of games lost and won by
each club, the percentage of games won,
aud each club’s rank in the league up to
date is given below:

It is understood that several changes

and there is a possibility that two more
men will be released within a week or
two. Murphy, whom tt was expected
Manager Morton would sign as catcher,
wanted two much money. Manager Mor
ton is negotiating with several other crack

catcher will probably be signed this

The Charlestons are last in the league
race, and are not backed very heavily

will get left. Charleston has played in
hard luck from the start. There is "plenty
ot time yet in which to win the pennant,
and it is not too much to say that Charles
ton has as good a claim on it and stands
as fair a chance of winning it as the other
clubs.

A COLONIAL KELIC.
A Royal Seal of the Time of George
11. of England.
Isaac Becket, Esq., will present to the
Georgia Historical Society at its June
meeting a colonial relic of considerable
historical interest. It is a royal seal such
as was affixed to documents In King
George of England’s time attesting the
royai anproval of laws affecting the Col
ony of Georgia. The seal was presented
to Mr. Becket by a gentlemau who became
Interested in his investigations of the
earlv colonial records. It is medal
shaped, about 4]4 inches across and about
14 ot an inch thick, and is of wax, stamped
ini the face with the royal coat-of-arras of
Great Britain, and bearing the Latin in
scription: GEORGIUS 11. D. G.M. BUI, FR.
KT Hill. REX F. I>. BKUN KT LUN IHJX
s. it. 1. Alt ill kt klfc; and the mottoes:
Honi soil qui mal y pense, and Dteu et
mon droit.
The Latin inscription in lull is: Geor
gius 11, Dei Gratia, Alngnae Hritanniae,
Franciue et Hiberniat Jinx, Fidei Defen
sor, Hrunswicii et Lunenburgi Dux
S(ancti) b'{ omant) l(mperii) Arc hi—
-1 hesauraruro et Elector.
Its translation is: “George 11, by the
grace of God, King of Great Britain,
France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith,
Duke ot Brunswick and Lunenburg ...
Elector and Arch Treasurer of the Holy
Roman Empire.”
The mottoes, lloni Soit quintal y Dense
(Evil to him who thinks evil of this),
that of the order of the Garter, and Dieu
et Mon Droit (God and my right), belong
to the coat of arms.
On the reverse side of the sea! is a rep
resentation of an Indian maiden in a
kneeling posture, holding iu her hand a
roll, seemingly a petition, which she is
offering to tho King, who stands belore
her. The inscriptions are Sigillum Fro
vincice Nostrce Georgias in America (Seal
of our Province Georgia in America) and
Mine laudem sperate, coloni (Hence ex
pect traise, colonises!) The paper or
parchment covering the wax is stained
and yellow with age. The side of the seal
to which tho ribbon was tastened is
slightly broken, hut not so as to deface
the inscriptions. The date of the 6eal is
1761.
Murderously Assaulted.
Guilford Arrington, colored, who re
sides at No. 18 Pine street, and who works
for the Ocean Steamship Company, was
assaulted at the corner ot Farm and Will
iam streets by unknown parties about 11
o’clock last night and terribly cut on the
left shoulder, just beneath the collar bone,
the blade severing an important artery
and makiug a most frightful gash fully
three and one-half inches long and two
inches deep. It wus evidently an assault
made with intent to murder. Arrington
was carried by his friends to tho office of
Dr. Robert G. Norton, 81 South Broad
street, where the artery was ligated and
the wound properly dressed. The Doctor
says that while the wound is dangerous,
yet it is not necessarily fatal, and that
with care Arrington will eventually re
cover.
The Late Mrs. .Isines Ward.
The Quebec Daily Telegraph ol Mav 20
contains the following aocount of the
funeral of Mrs. James Ward:
“On Monday morning the remains of the
late Mrs. James Ward, who died at Savan
nah, (ift., U. S., arrived in this city, aud
were taken to the Sisters of Charity Con
vent, where she was laid out. Yesterday
morning the funeral took place to St.
Patrick’s church, followed by a large and
highly respectable number of citizens.
Ibo pall-bearers were Councillor Mur
phy, of Champlain ward, ex-Councillor
Power and Messrs. James Paul, W.
Koran, James Butler and Robert Paul.
The chief mourners were Mr. James
Ward, husband of the deceased, and
Mr. Gaul, steplather. The remains
of the lamented lady were met at the
church by the Rev. Father Bonneau, chap
lain to the Sisters of Chanty Convent,
and Father Eustace Maguire, who attar
the usual ceremony conducted the mourn
ful procession up to the side aisle ot the
church to the catafalque, where the re
mains were allowed to r. st until the con
clusion of the high Requiem Mass and
Libra, which was sung by the Reverend
Father McCarthy, C. SS. R. The sacred
edifice, which was well filled by the de
ceased's friends, was dressed in mourning
and a full cnoir in attendance. Mr.
Adolph Hamel presided at the organ. At
the conclusion of the service all that
was mortal of the deceased Mrs. Ward
was taken to Woodfleld cemetery and laid
to rest alongside the remains olheryoung
and only boh, who preceded his good
mother in his infancy, also her mother
and brother. Tuo orphan children of the
Sisters of Cnaritv attended the funeral in
a body. A most affecting scene took
place as the funeral was leaving the
convent. All the nuns congregated in
the hall and recited the litany for the
dead as the body wus being carried out.
Dei-eased will be missed among the poor,
as she was a most charitable woman. The
whole ambition of her lile was to succor
the distressed, as many of our readers can
testify. Bhe was also a staunch triend of
all religious institutions, and the Bisters
of Charity of Quebec have lost In her a
true and taithlul friend. During her 15
years residence in Savannah she was a
second mother to all Quebecers who vis.
ited that city. Deceased’s maiden name
was Catherine Power, and she wus horn
in Ireland. We tender our sympathy to
her bereaved husband, whodeeply mourns
I her loss.

“Liberty’s Costly Prisoner.”
Editor Morning Mews: Under the above
heading in last Tuesday’s issue of the
Morning News several misstatements
occur. In the first place, the prisoner re
ferred to, E. P. Carmichael, is held under
an indictment for murder found at the
May term (last week) ot Liberty Superior
Court, and has not been charged with
“any other offense” betore “any other
grand jury,” at least since 1 have been in
office.
In the second place, the case was not
continued at the instance or the State, but
upon motion of defendant’s counsel. Mr.
Way, and over the objections ot the proe
ecution, chiefly on account of the expense
that a continuance would put upon the
county. The defendant claimed, however,
to have witnesses to the homicide who
were absent, and whose testimony would
establish his defense, and the court prop
erly allowed him time in which to secure
their presence. F. G. dußignon,
