8 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. jAWRENCE HANLEY’S BENEFIT. A Farewell to the Popular Young Tragedian. On Thursday evening, Aug. 4, tUo Fords uid the citizens of Savannah will tender to dr. Lawrence Hanley a lienettt m recogni aon of their appreciation of his merit.

Sliotter & Cos. The mortuary record of the week shows 25 deaths, 10 whites aud 15 blacks. Of this number 0 were under 1 year of age and 18 under 10 years. Tho proixirtion of death per 1,000 population was 10.4 for the whites and 40.0 for the blacks. The thermometer roso only to 84.8 yester day nnd a good breeze blew, keeping the weather pleasant. The storm signal was kept tip, however, on account of a iliNturbaiieo in the i iulf. At Cedar Keys the wind blew at the rate of 35 miles an hour, and the outlook was for another hard blow in this section. It was reported late last night that a woman living near the corner of Whitaker street aud Fourth street fired a shot at a boy who, one account says, she mistook for a burglar. Another report is that the boy first rapped at the front door, and not get ting any answer, ran around to the rear door, when he was find at. He was not hit. Supt, Miller, of tho water works, gives notice that at !l o’clock this morning the water will lie shut off from the districts lit tween Broughton, Bryan, West ltroad anti Abcreorii streets, anti on Bay street between East aud West Broad. The reason is that the sewer on .Bay street has caved in and some of the others need repairing. The water will bo shut off during most of the tiay. Mr. John Nicolson, Jr., the well-known plumber, has been awarded the contract for supplying the entire tubing system for the new mill of the Southern Cotton Seed Oil Company, in this city. Mr. Nicolson was brought in competition with several large Northern firms, and, in securing this con tract. demonstrates the fact that largo sup plies can be purchased at home at tho low est possible prices. Hector Brownley was charged by Lizzie Shepherd with malicious mischief anti as sault, at Justice Hheftall’s court yesterday, the alleged he tore her dress anti Ixvit her badly. But as soon as he was arrested she 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. Charleston Short Stops. The Carolina Yacht Club will give a moonlight sail on Tuesday evening. The Rutledge street pond was alive with small craft Friday. afternoon, many of them, strange to say, being manned entirely by pretty young women, who rowed with the proficiency of old salts.

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 inaugurate a system of free excursions to Montgomery and Isle of Hope for the bene fit of poor women and children. The excur sions will be under tlio auspices of the clergy of the city. The trains will go out every Wednesday and Friday afternoons, begin ning this week. Capt. J. H.

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.

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. Bast; hits—Charleston 20, Memphis 8. Earned runs Charleston 8. Memphis 1.

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.
