HOLDING AMOB AT IIAY.
A POLICEMAN SURROUNDED BY
AN INFURIATED THRONG.
Ah Arrest Arouses the Denizens of the
Old Fort Rocks and Brickbats
Hurled at the Officer—He Resorts to
the Billy Without Effect But His Re
volver Clears the Path.
Mounted Officer Anglin, of the city police,
whose heat is on Randolph street, hud an
encounter with a negro mob last night, and
beat them off after firing two shots. At
10:30 o’clock, wdiile patroling his beat, his
attention was arrested by the actions of a
colored man on Randolph street, who was
acting in a very disorderly manner
and obstructing the street. Ho
rode up to him nnd ordered him
to desist, but the negro paid no attention to
him, stive to curse him and continue his
course. As the man continued to be dis
orderly, Officer Anglin arrested him. The
negro, Will Hall by name, resisted and
sltouted for help, but the officer had a hold
on him and hurried him forward. Hall’s
cries for help soon attracted scores of
negroes, and they swarmed around the
offlt-er and demanded that the prisoner bo
released. They were warned by the officer
not to interfere, but the crowd grew in
ijuinl-ers, and us they increased thoir throats
and menaces were bolder.
A STORM OF MISSILES.
Soon the officer reached the junction of
Reynolds nnd Wheaton streets. Here the
crowd gathered a!suit in such luinils-rs as
to absolutely prevent the officer from
moving forward. The mob had grown
from a score or two at first to over two
hundred, and uil of the worst class
of negro roughs. Not content with more
threats, they began throwing stones, brick
bats and anything that came handy. One
good sized stone struck the officer on the
Lead, but his heavy felt hat broke the force
of the blow. Many others struck his horse,
which begun to grow restive. The prisoner,
encouraged by the efforts made to rescue
him, began to resist again, untl al
together the officer had his hands
full. He drew his hilly and
attempted to open up u jmth through tiie
dense crowd, but found it impossible. Wheel
ing his horse round rapidly, he soon made a
clear space und took advantage of it. Ho
dismounted and threw his prisoner down
Bud placing his foot on him, prepared to re
list his assailants.
AN INFURIATED MOB.
A reliable person whom he knew and
happened to see there, mounted his horse
to keep him there. Tlio negroes, when they
taw Hall thrown to the ground imagined
that he had been killed. They set up a
tavago cry and presst>d forward, shouting.
"hang tho “kill him,”
“shoot the white livered ,’’ “knock
bun over," ami similar cries. The
missiles flew thick anti fast. The officer
ivas hit several times and the innu on the
horse was knocked off. Things lxgau to
look squally anil the officer rightly thought
that os pacific measures hatl failed he would
try cold lead.
lIE FIRED INTO THE CROWD.
Dropping on one knee, and resting that
Du the prisoner’s breast to keep him quiet
ind sufe, he reached lor his revolver, drew
rested It on liis loft arm and blazed away
twice, at popit-blunk range. The effect
nas electrical. The echoes of the second
ihot bad hardly ceased before the square
was entirely cleared, and hardly a negro
could be seen. Just as he tired the
lliots Officers Rogers nnd Kiernnri
same up and each made a cap
ture, and by good luck each secured
Cue of tne most violent of the mob. The
three prisoners, Will Hall, Jessie Monro l
ind Ilonry Walker, were then taken to the
3arracks. Officer Anglin was pretty badly
Druised, but not seriously hurt. He was hit
Mi the head, several times on the arms and
tide, ami was kicked bv Hall, who, in turn,
was severely punished for liis obstinacy,
Being badly' clubbed.
THE PRISONERS ARMED
When the prisoners were searched a sevon
ihot loaded revolver was found on tho per
ton of Monroe, a i l on Walker was found u
nurderous-lookmg sailor’s sheath knife.
Both of those two wore prominent in the
;rowd, flourishing the knife ami revolver,
ind inciting the others on to attack tho of
leer.
A rumor was current late last night, that
me uegro was killed by the officer's shots,
jut it could not lie corroborated. It is
rery probable that the shots hit. as the of-
Icer fired low, and tin- crowd was so dense
hat the bullets could hardly passthrough
without hitting someone. The Old Fort is
i bad neighborhood and one iu which the
ifficers usually have trouble. This is the
Irst imt I iron k the police have had there,
lowever, for some time. Probably the les
>n given the disorderly element last night
iv Officer Anglin will have a wholesome
snoot.

relented anti tried to effect his release. He
was held for trial. Alice Williams was up
before the same justice, charged with as
vaulting one Georgio Jackson, both colored.
She was held to appear.
FOND OF THE LAW.
Mary Mungen, the "Queen of the Bay,”
and Her Laweultß.
Mary Mungen is a case. In fact, some of
the justices say she is two cases. Mury is
in perpetual trouble, and she keeps the legal
l >ot boiling all the while, and she and her
neighbors are in n constant stew over va
rious matters of dispute. Mary is a stout,
short negress, and is said to lie a hard
working woman. Hho has, however, a
sharp tongue anti a loud voice, and she has
been kept in hot water all the while by
these for the last month or so. The princi
pal cause seems to lie business rivalry.
Mary is a sailors’ washerwoman, and lias
quite a reputation in that line. She alleges
that “tie’s here black wimen” underbid her
and also "seandalaeted” her character,
which acts caused Mary’s ire to be raised
to the boiling point. She forgot herself
iu two or three Instances and took the law
into her own hands.
Friday she was arraigned before Justice
Reynolds, charged with as-ault and battery
by one of her victims, anti was belli for the
City Court, under bond. Yesterday she
was before Justice Nauglitin on a like
charge and was held for trial. She retail
a ted on the others by taking out warrants
for them, and Justice Russell had a dozen
to deal with yesterday.
Mary is the tenor of the justices, so to
speak, mid is a big nuisance. She has been
up Is-fore the Mayor a number of times in
the lust month. When fined the money is
always quickly secured, ami it does not seem
much of a punishment. She complains
greatly of the fight made against her by
the Dixon’s lot people, untl says they are
trying to kill her, but tho probabilities are
that the tongue lashings she gave them was
too much for their equanimity.
SHE WANTED A MAN AND GOT ONE
After a Year of Loveliness Ella Ander
son Captures a Husband.
Jaekson Palmer aud Ella Anderson, a col
ored oouple, marched into Justice Russell’s
office last evening, the damsel leading tho
sheepish looking Jackson by the hand. Ap
proaching the rather bewildered looking
Justice she produced an official looking
jmjier that proved to be a marriage license,
mill thrusting it into his hands, began
chewing her apron strings as she
said: “Mister, I’se been mity lonesuiu dis
las’ yeah mi' I’se wanted n man a heap. I
dun cotclied dis heah nigger, and we’s
gwino to get married. Dis Is de fust time
uat 1 ober emu to rich a place *s dis here,
anti we wants you to fix the ratit'axtions.”
Justice Russell’s eyes opened wide, but lie
fixik in I ht- situation, nnd with the best grace
imaginable performed the ceremony, after
which the smiling couple walked down the
street, hand in hand, each casting terrible
big sheep’s eyes at tho other.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JULY 31, 1887.
AN INTERESTING CASE.
A Barber’s Sad Experience With the
Installment Plan.
F. W. R. Hinman, a furniture dealer of
this city, brought an action of bail in tro
ver against one J. C. Beatty, a colored bar
ber, last week. Mr. Hinman sold his gixxls
on the installment plan, and, as many peo
ple are unaware of the penalties incurred
m disposing of such goods till wholly
theirs, the case is given, as it
shows up some peculiar features
of the business. >lr. Hinman
sold Beatty a bill of furniture on sheinstall
ment plan. Beatty signed the agreement,
which provides that the title to all the
goods shnll remain with the seller till the
price agreed noon is paid in full.
Beatty was very dilatory in his payments,
and finally Mr. Hinman was forced to take
the furniture back, only a small portion of
the purchase money having tieen paid. He
secured the return of all save one large mir
ror, vulutxl at sls, which he could not find,
and as Beatty had left the
Btate there was no recourse
for him, but to wait tlie return of his credi
tor. Beatty returned here a short time ago,
and action was brought against him and lie
was arrested. Tlie law requires that in a
case of this kind the defendant must turn
over the property in question to the court,
or give a bond for its forthcoming when
wanted. Beatty didn’t have the property
nor could he give such a bond, so ho was
committed to jail Beattv thou, through
his lawyer, Mr. McLaws, filed an affidavit
stating that he could not produce the prop
erty, but could give reasons therefor. This
issue was tried Friday bofore Justice
Molina.
On the trial, tlie evidence disclosed the
fact that ho had disposed of tlie property in
question, himself, and therefore could not
produce it. As this was not a satisfactory
legal reason ho was recommitted to jail,
and according to the law he must stay
there, if till doomsday, till he either
produces the property, gives a
proper liond for Its forthcoming, or pays for
it in full. No writ of habeas corpus can
effect, him in any way, as the three alterna
tives alone can give nim liborty. It is an
interesting case and presents some queer
phases of the law.
\V. \V. Osborne, Esq., appeared for the
plaintiff, aud U. 11. McLaws, Esq., for the
defendant.
A VESSEL’S LIABILITY.
Trouble Caused the Pope Catlin by a
Dishonest Steward.
Avery interesting case was tried before
Justice Reynolds yesterday, the main points
being a vessel’s liability for bills contracted
by an unauthorized officer. Oapt. Swift,of the
Fopo Catlin, lmd a contract with the steward
to tho effect that the boat paid the steward
a certain salary and he provided all the
food, etc., for the crow. When ho was paid
off, he left the city suddenly, owing various
parties. One of these wns Hugh Logan, a
butcher, who had furnished meat to tin*
steward for the vessel, and who knew noth
ing of the captain’s contract with that offi
cor. He surd the boat for $33 !K), the
amount of his bill, before Justice Reynolds,
nnd the Justice rendered a judgment in his
favor.
Tlie captain appealed for a jury trial, and
tho case was tried yesterday after
noon, the jury rendering a verdict
for the plaintiff for $39 90 and all
costs. After the first trial the
captain inserted a notice in the News, warn
ing all parties that no bills against the ves
sel would be (mid unless a written order was
sent. Etnile Newman appeared for the de
feiulant, and P. J. O'Conuor appeared for
the plaintiff. The captain was rather net
tled at the result of the matter and ex
pressed his ideas rather freely on jury trials.
The justice cautioned him to be careful or
lie would commit him for* contempt of court.
The captain’s wrath subsided and hodepart
ed, illy pleased with his experience in land
trials.
A Fresh Air Mission.
The City and Suburban railway will

CRAZED WITH WHISKY.
A DRUNKEN GAMBLER ATTEMPTS
TO SHOOT JULIUS KAUFMANN.
An Attack on a Drummer Leads to the
Arrest of Sam Titcomb and Charley
McAllister and tho Former Draws a
Knife in the Court Room—His Subse
quent Attempt to Shoot the Arrest
ing Officer.
Sinn J. Titcomb, a gambler by profession
got crazy drunk yesterday afternoon, aud
last night at 6.30 o’clock, made a desperate
attempt to shoot Constable Julius Kaufmann,
but the latter knocked him down tiefore he
could draw his revolver and disannul him.
Officer Rogers was in hearing, nnd he took
Titcomb to tho barracks. This was the
outcome of a row in the earlier part of the
day in which Titcomb and a friend were in
volved. About 8.30 p. m., Isadore Fidelson
a Now York drummer selling un
brellas, went to E. L. Byek’s tobacco store,
northwest corner of Drayton and Brough
ton streets, and tried to sell one to Mr.
Byck. Bam J. Titcomb and Charles Mc-
Allister were in the place and under the in
fluence of liquor. Titcomb slyly took up
one of the umbrellas and putting it under
liis arm, as a joke, turned as if to go out.
A PEHPRRATK ASSAULT.
The umbrella vendor turned in sudden
anger, and jerked tlie umbrella from
under his arm. Titcomb was angered
at this, and turning quickly dealt
Fidelson a powerful blow on the jaw, knock
ing him hack against the counter, and he
followed up this attack by others. McAllis
ter endeavored to join in the fray, but Mr.
Byck kept him from interfering, aud finally
separated Titcomb ami Fidelson and pre
vailed on McAllister and Titeombe to leave
the place. Fidelson then went to Justice
Naughtin’s and obtained a warrant for their
arrest. Constable Kaufmann arrested tho
two men and brought them to the office.
They both went with the officer willingly
till the office was reached, when Titeombe
became unruly. He swore no one should take
him to jail—some one would be killed first.
Mr. Kaufmann replied that if he had a com
mitment ho (Kaufmann) would execute it.
Titcomb became greatly exasperated at
this and drew a knife, but the officer was
on the alert and disarmed him at once.
Titcomb was then seated rather violently
and toll! to behave himself. He obeyed, but
still continued tocurseKaufmann and threat
en to do him up when he get free again.
HE BOUGHT A REVOLVER.
Justice Nanghtin heard the complaint
and held the two men in bonds of S3OO each
for their appearance at the November term.
Both left the office with friends, two going
with Titcomb to endeavor to get him
home, but he eluded them after a little
while and returned down town. Going into
a store near Broughton street, he pur
chased a live shot, self-cocking Smith &
Wesson , 83-calibre revolver, and a box of
cartridges. Going then to Byck’s cigar
store, he exhibit**! the weapon and said it
was to shoot Kaufmann, whom he character
ized as “ a Dutchman,”
and cursed him roundly. Word was sent over
to Kaufmann’s saloon, across the street, for
him to look out for Titcomb, as he was
fighting drunk and had threatened to shoot
Inin. Meanwhile, Kaufmann had left the
Justice's office and had arrived at the res
taurant a few minutes before tho warning
was received.
CHOKED ALMOST TO DEATH.
Titcomb shortly after started out of the
cigar store, and walked across the street.
Kaufmann was then standing in front of his
restaurant, talking to one or two parties.
Titcomb walked up to within ten feet of
him and drawing his pistol from the bosom
of his vast, attempted to level it at Kauf
mann, saying, “Now, , I’ve got
you, and I'll give you -—Kauf
mann saw him approaching aud
as Titcomb drew hig revolver he
leaped forward, caught him around the
neck, threw him to the sidewalk and dis
armed him. Holding him down he choked
him nearly senseless, and pounded his head
on the |lavement. Several of the bystanders
interfered, and .as Officer Rogers came along
he and Mr. Kaufmann carried Titcomb to
the barracks, where he was committed on a
charge of assault with intout to murder.
The affair caused great excitement at the
time, and a crowd of 100 or more quickly
gathered at the spot. For hours afterward
dozens lingered around giving details of the
fracas to the newly arrived, and talking
over tlie details of tne muss.
HE MEANT BUSINESS.
Titcomb is said to be a fine fellow, barring
bis profession, when sober, and is well liked.
Whisky makes a fiend of him and he is
then very quarrelsome. His friends were
very busy last evening, and steps were nt
once taken by them to help him. The ease
will be heard Monday, and meanwhile he
will be confined at the barracks.
Hail it not Ixvu for Constable Kaufmann’s
vigilance nnd quickness, consequent on his
timelv warning, he probably would have
Ixieu killed, as it was said that Titcomb is a
good marksman, and that ho meant business
when lie started for Kaufmann. Titcomb
loft a lxix of cartridges at the cigar store,
showing more plainly by inference that he
Ixiught the weapon for this sole purpose,
and that he relied on the load it contained.

MEMPHIS OVERWHELMED.
Charleston’s Twirler Too Much For
the Men From Tennessee.
Charleston, S C., July 80.—The locals
pulled themselves together to-day and
turned the tables on Memphis and paid
them back in their own coin with consider
able interest added. Smith and Childs held
the points for Charleston, and Black and
McKeough for Memphis. The home
Smith was too much for the redoubtable
home run Andrews, who rumor says has
been sold to Pittsburgh for *2,000, and who
went down four times, striking out twice,
and getting out twice on pop flies. The
visitors got in one run in the second and
one in the sixth inning, which was all they
could do. The locals, on the other hand,
found Black at the beginning and pounded
him unmercifully. Charleston was again
subjected to the disadvantage of pitting its
pitchers against each other.
Barrett, the latest umpire appointed by
President Morrow, got drunk last night,
borrowed money and skipped the town.
The score by innings follows:
Charleston 1 0 3 0 1 0 5 0 o—lo
Memphis 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 o—2
Errors Charleston 0, Memphis 1.

NEW ORLEANS DOWNED.
The Fielders Given a Chance to Show
What They Were Good For.
New Orleans, July 30. —Bradley came
to town and played third to-day, Burke go
ing back to short, and the arrangement was
much better for Nurhville. Neither Cart
wright nor MoVey could play third for
New Orleans, and but for Shorty Fuller’s
wonderful cleverness the New Or
leans error column would be very
large. It was a fielder’s game,
as noth Powell and Masran were hit hard.
Campau, Pujol, Vaughn, Clinton and Reeder
all made great catches in the outfield.
Clinton about won the game for Nashville
by pulling down Fuller’s long liner after
jumping into the air for it. New Orleans
hit harder, but Nashville's hits were timelier,
and besides the locals were unfortunate in
running bases. Nicholas umpired and was
slightly off, but treated both sides alike.
The score follows:
Nashville 1 1 3 0 0 0 0 0 o—6
New Orleans 2000010 1 0— 4
Batteries—Powell and Wells. Masran and
Maimion. Base hits- New Orleans 10, Nashville
9. Errors—Nashville 8. New Orleans 5, Stolen
bases Nushvilie 2, Now Orleans 4.
No Game.
Blacksheaß, Ga., July 30.—The Black
shear Base Ball Club went to Jesup to-day
to play a match game of bull. The Jesups
refused to play, and the game was declared
0 to 0 in favor of the Blackshears.
