THE CASE DECIDED.
RICHARD HOWARD AND JAMES BICKER-
STAFF ADMITTED TO BAIL.
Judge Allen Fort r«idered his decision
in thelabeas corpus case yesterday after
noon. , _
Richard Howard and James BickerstaQ
are admitted to bail in the sum of $15,000
each.
Robert Howard will remain in jail.
The first news of the decision of Judge
Fort was received at the Enquirer-Sun
office a few minutes after 3 o’clock yester
day afternoon.
It was in the following brief temegram;
Amkhicus, Ga., December 19, 3 p. m.—
[Special to the Enquirer-Sun.]—Bond
for Richard Howard and James Bickerstaff
$15,000 each. Bond refused Robert
Howard.
[Signed] Graham Forrester.
The telegram was at once bulletined at
this office.
One of the first men to read the bulletin
was Mr. Moses Joseph, a brother-in-law of
the Howards. A reporter had just rang
up the jailer at the telephone when Mr.
Joseph entered. Mr. Joseph came to the
’phone and asked Jailer Reedy to commu
nicate the news to the prisoners.
Mrs. Richard Howard and Mrs. Moses
Joseph were at the jail when Mr. Reedy
made the annuncement to the prisoners.
Of course the scene which ensued was a
pathetic one. Mr. Robert Howard re
marked that the news was what he ex
pected. The other two men were very
much affected and expressed regret that
the order of the Judge did not allow bail
to Mr. Robert Howaid also.
The news of the decision of Judge Fort
spread rapidly over the city, and was the
chief topic of conversation on the streets
yesterday afternoon and last night.
Friends of the Howards and Bickerstaff
stated yesterday afternoon that the bonds
would be readily made as soon as the offi
cial order of Judge Fort was received by
the clerk of the court. This order was
expected by the 10 o’clock train last night,
but it did not arrive. It will, in all prob
ability, be received by the clerk today,
when bonds will be made and the two pris
oners released.
COMMISSIONERS OF COMMONS.
proceedings of the meeting yester
day afternoon.
A meeting of the Commissioners of
Commons was held yesterday afternoon in
the office of President B. H. Crawford.
Present: Messrs. Crawford, Epping,
Garrett, lllges, Kyle, Peabody, Rankin,
Williams and Dozier. Absent: Messrs.
Curtis and Redd.
The minutes of all meetings since July
1 were read and confirmed.
The following report was received:
“The committee on sales to whom was
referred the application of F. J. Kohn for
the purchase of lots on the south commons
for manufacturing purposes, report au
recommend the sale of lots Nos. 2 and 3 of
block between Broad and Front and
Fourth and Fifth streets, for the sum of
$1100, to be paid in cash and upon provis
ion that said F. J. Kohn will erect on said
lands a two-story building 50x100 feet, and
agree to use said premises for manufactur
ing purposes for not less than five years.
“B. H. Crawford,
“D. P. Dozier,
“E. J. Rankin,
“Committee."
Mr. Williams moved that it be received
and adopted.
Mr. Peabody moved as a substitute that
the lots be sold at public outcry. Lost.
The motion of Mr. Wiliiams was then
adopted, all voting aye on call of ayes and
noes.
Mr. Peabody moved that the expense of
preparing papers be paid by Mr. Kohn,
and that should the conditions be not com
plied with the deed to be void. Adopted.
On motion of Mr. Wiliiams, the Secre
tary was instructed to notify parties to re
move all fences and buildings from the
street left through the center of said block.
Adopted.
The President mentioned that bond for
title had been given the Golden Foundry
and Machine Company for certain lots on
block 28, conditioned that they should
erect buildings of certain cost and capacity,
and that as the work already done indi
cated that such conditions would be fully
complied with, and thought the matter of
making deed to said lots might be favor
ably considered. On nffition of Mr. Wil
liams a deed was ordered made.
On motion of Mr. Dozier, the City Sur
veyor was requested to survey and plat
such portions of block 27 and 30 as were
still undisposed of.
The Board then adjourned.

NOTES ABOUT EVERYTHING.
be
LETTLE ITEMS OF PERSONAL AND GEN
ERAL INTEREST.
—The saloons in Columbus' will
closed on Christmas day after 9 o’clock
the morning.
The Enquirer-Sun is indebted to the
King’s Daughters for a delightful and sub
stantial lunch received yesterday.
—Columbus has received over 60,000
bales of cotton this season, and nearly
19,000 bales are now in stock at the ware
houses here. If all this cotton could be
sold at fair prices it would put a great deal
of money in circulation here and brighten
things up considerably.
THE WRONG MAN WHIPPED.
GEORGE PITTS ASSAILED AND BEATEN
ON THE PUBLIC HIGHWAY.
A few nights ago George Pitts, colored,
was assaulted and badly beaten by a party
of unknown men in 'lie public highway
near Nances, a few miles from town.
That afternoon, it seems, a negro man
came in the store at Nances and used pro
fane language in the presence of a number
of ladies who were in the store shopping.
The matter was brought to the attention
of several gentlemen who came to the store
after the darkey had left, and they at once
started in pursuit of him. The party over
took Giorge Pitts, and thinking him the
offender, proceeded to administer a sound
thrashing.
The affair might have terminated more
seriously, but for the timely arrival of
another party, who informed the crowd
that George was not the man wanted.
Capt. Gilbert to Deliver the
Prizes.—The Tom Jones Rifles, of Phe-
nix City, are making arrangements for a
competitive drill on the evening of the 20th
inst. Three squads of the company will
compete for a prize of $50, and a hand
some gold medal will be awarded the
best drilled man in the company. Hon.
S. P. Gilbert, captain of the Columbus
Guards, has been invited to deliver the
prizes and has accepted the invitation.
The Bazaar Will Close Today-.—
The King’s Daughters’ Bazaar, which has
been in progress at No. 1007 Broad street
for several days, will close today. All
articles remaining over at the Bazaar will
be auctioned at 10 o’clock this morning.
Here is a chance to get nice Christmas
presents cheap.
The Bazaar has proven a splendid sue
cess, and has been greatly enjoyed by those
who attended.
THE STATE ROAD APPRAISED.
Atlanta, December 19.—[Special.]—
The appraisement by the commission ap
pointed under the lease act reported
the result of their labors this
afternoon, and the total valuation of the
Stats road is placed at $6,364,932,62. This
is a depreciation from the figures summed
up by the Reese commission in 1888 of
$299',965.48. The falling off is accounted for
by the present low price of railroad equip
ment, and the figures would be further
lessened if they were not partially offset by
the enhancement of real estate.
A TROUBLED COMMITTEE.
Atlanta, December 19.—[Special.]—
The Western and Atlantic committee of
the House spent all day and part of to
night without settling upon a substitute
for the Zacbry resolution. Three proposi
tions are before the committee from which
they will chose before making their report
in the morning.
FOUR INDIANS HANGED.
Misso. la, Mont., December 19.—This
morning Lalaze, Pierre, Paul Antley and
Pascale, four Indian murderers, were
hanged at the' court house here. All died
game. All were cut down twenty minutes
after the trap was sprung. Their necks
were broken. All were executed for the
murder of white men.
