8 ILLEGALLY RELEASED. SAM TITCOMB THE ACTOR IN ANOTHER MAGISTERIAL FARCED This Time the Assault and Battery Charge is Disposed Of How a Mag istrate Usurps the Prerogative of the Higher Courts-Titcomb’s Bonds man Anxious. Sam J. Titeomb and Charles McAllister, charged with assault and battery on Isadora Feldelson, a New York umbrella drummer, in Byek's cigar store, Broughton street, July 31. last, hud an “examination” before Justice Naughtin yesterday afternoon and were discharged. After the assault, they were brought up before the Ju-tiee, and, as he informed a News reporter, placed under bond to appear at the November term of the City Court. The readers of tlm News probably re member another very sensational “exami nation” in Mr. Titcomb’s case a short while ago. NOTIFIED OF ITS ILLEGALITY. Mr. W. W. Fraser, Acting Solicitor General, was notified last week that Mr. Titcomb’s examination would be held Monday at Just ice Naughtin’s office. Mr. Fraser saw Justice Naughtin and ex plained why the case could not lie tried be fore the Magistrate. The bond was for the City Court, and the Justice had no juris diction over it. Mr. Fraser says Justice Naughtin soem(>d to agree with him, and finally coincided in that opinion. Yester day morning, much to his surprise, Mr. Fraser received notice that the case would be tried in the afternoon. Mr. Fraser stated that he would not be present at the exam ination, but it was hold just the same. The case was called by the Justice in the afternoon, H. tt. Rich ards, Esq., api>caring for the de fence, no prosecutor being present. One Vitness for the State was examined, and Mr. Richards moved that his clients lie dis charged and the justice discharged them. THIt EXAMINATIONS SANS EFFECT. Mi-. W. AV. Fraser was seen late Inst Eight and asked regarding the legal status of the ca-e. AVhen informed of the ‘•ex amination" and discharge of Mr. Titeomb he wns somewhat astonished. “AV'hat will lw> tho result of this dis charger w as asked. “Nothing at all." he replied. “There cer tainly was no legal examination as I under stand it. The bonds were for the City- Court, 1 am sure, and the Justice had no jurisdiction in the matter whatever.” In response to further questions Mr. Fraser gave thp following in substance: Soon after tho examination at Justice Reynold’s office he called for the bonds in the case and deposited them in his office. The indorsement on them says that Air. Titeomb was held for examination, and ns no one appeared to prosecute him, he was discharged, and this in the face of the fnet that the bonds were for the City and Superior courts respectively. HIS BONDSMAN IN A QUANDARY. His bondsman called on Mr. Fraser soon thereafter, and inquired regarding his lia bility, as he said Mr. Titeomb had informed him that he was free, and that the bonds ■were therefore not binding. Mr. Fraser assured the gentleman that he was mis taken. and that the bonds were ns good ns ever and held the bondsmen for their faithful performance The examination was a farce, ns far as it concerned the free ing of Mr. Titeomb from those charges. The gentleman left, feeling that he was still holden on the bonds. He, however, asked If there was any way in which he could tie come free and releases! from the bonds, and he was told the only way was to surrender Mr. Titeomb to either the Sheriff of the City or the Superior Court. THE PRELIMINARIES. When Mr. Fraser received the first notice announcing the second examination as set down for Monday he was somewhat, sur prised. He saw the justice soon thereafter and told him he could not hold the exami nation and explained why. Mr. Titcomb’s bondsman also came up, and he was told that such an examination would not lie legal nor would it release him from the bond. The Justice finally agreed ■with him. Mr. Fraser said he supposed the matter settled. Greatly to his surprise another notice was sent him yesterday morning, notifying him that the examination would lie held that afternoon. He stated he would not. appear and request ed the Justice to send the bond in the ease tin to his office. Up to the closing hour of tho office last night that had not I sen done. ANOTHER CURIOUS PHASE. Mr. Fraser said it was reported that Mr. Titcomb’s bondsman surrendered him to Constable Kaufnnmn He was then arraigned before the Justice, and imme diately bailed for a hearing. This followed, and he was discharged, a- above staled. When asked why such an examination was held, Mr. Fraser expressed his inability to pxplain. He could see no reason for it, for When a prisoner gives hail for a higher court, he waives any hearing in the lower one, and the very fact of his giving bail for the higher tribunal takes the case out of the lower one. There is no such t liing ns a justice having jurisdic tion over City or Superior Court case*, ami there was s. miething about it he could not tin thrstaiid. “Tho mere fact of such an ex amination does not alter the status of the case; at all. in my judgment,’’ sai<l Mr. Fraser, “and the boudsman is s much responsible now as ever. Mr. Tit comb was not surrendered to either of tire Sheriffs, and that is the only escape for his bondsmen. Constable Kaufmann had no authority to receive a prisoner held on a City Court bail, and he know* it.” TITCOMB SAYS HE IS FREE. The gentleman who signe 1 Mr. Titoonih's bond was next seen. He admitted that Mr. Titeomb bad told him that the “examina tion" in Justice Reynolds' office discharged him wholly. He then saw Mr. Fraser, and was concerned to find that the trends still held. He had been told by a lawyer, how ever. that the bonds were not good now nf ter the Justus''* discharge. He knew of yesterday’s trial, he said, and Mr. Fraser had told him it would not free him. But this Ranre. attorney told him it was all right, and so the case proceeded. “Mr. Titeomb came to my office late this afternoon,” said he, “and told me ho was free. He said his lawyer told him all was right and that such a discharge was a legal one HIH BONDSMAN WORRIED. “When Mr. Fraser first told me I was re sponsible even after the trial by Mr. Rey nolds, I went to Mr. Titeomb. as I ha/1 heard Ire was going awav and asked him about it. He said it was all right and that things would work around to make it per fectly safe for me. You may lie sure of one thing.” aaid the gentleman with emphasis, “When I got out of this entanglement it will he the last one I will ever get into. I’ve laid enough of them.” When told that the Acting Solicitor Gen eral considered the examinations illeg and and held that the bonds were still binding, he appeared worried and perplexed. He further said ho hardly knew how .oact in tire mut ter, but would probably determine to-day what he would do. Justice Naughtin waa seen by a News reporter late in the afternoon, and asked if Mr. Titooinb’s case had been heard. He re fused to answer, saying ho didn't "like to interview reporters.” What the Solicitor General will now do in tho matter i* the ex iting question. To Start This Morning. Hupt. Miller said last night that the liig pump would positively bo working this morning. It waa put together yesterday afternoon and steam was turned in.

THE FERNANDINA YACHT RACE How the Naomi Scared the Florida Yachtsmen The Rumors Current. ft seems to be a difficult matter to get detinite information from Fernmidina con cerning the coming yacht race, and it is ap parent that tiie reason is simply that the Florida yachtsmen are leaving the arrange ments incomplete in order to adjust them so as to rid themselves of competition with Savannah’s representative, the Naomi, lie cause they know that to race against her is U> lie beaten. Tliev do not like to back down squarely and tliev ure endeavoring to make a graceful retreat from tin* I mid posi tion they took in inviting the contest. When the purse was made up by the people of Fernandina it was announced that all yachts would be invited to participate in the regatta and they were. The date of the race was fixed for yester day, and apparently everything was settled until (.'apt. Kemps sailed the Naomi from Savannah to Fernandina in eighteen hours thou nothing was settled. All Ihe arrange ments were knocked in the head by that trip, and subsequently a letter was received here stating that the sailing committee had de cided to rule out all but Florida yacht*. Since then nothing positivo has lieen heard, hut the understanding among the yachts men yesterdnv was that the regatta is to he Mailed on Friday next, and on Saturday there art* to be several matches, and among others ouo between the Chemauu and Naomi. , AN EXPENSIVE DRINK. Kicked Out of tho Houso After Paying $6 for Two Beora. Mrs. Kate Barnwell, who controls and runs a saloon on Indian and West, Broad streets, was up liefore Magistrate Niieftuli yesterday to answer a long string of charges preferred by Charles llardctte, lie says ho wont, into the saloon and ordered and drunk two schooners of lieu - . He gave Mrs. Katie #5, but she neglected to return the change. Ho further adds that when ho gently whispered change, the irate n nn/cn came from liohlud the liar and **l agisted” him right out into the street. Charles considered this an insult to his dig nity and he prayed the court to secure him his much delayed change and to projs’rly puu.sh the war like Kate. He made the following charges against her: Keeping a gaining house; with assault anil battery; with larceny (of the change belonging to him,) and with a breach ot the |M*aie —four charges in nil. Mrs. Barnwell appeared frith two witnesses and promptly denied all the naicjhty charges that Bardutte preferred, and said they were lies. She waived nfcainiusti m, iiowc.ee, and the magistrate lield her in wks) hail lor the city court . tJW on each charge. THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3i, 1887. A MY iTERIOUS SHOT. It is Fired in Justice Molina's Office, But He Refuses to Explain It. The report of a pistol shot was heard at 2:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon, the sound emanating from the office of Justice M. F. Molina, on the corner of Bull street and Bay street lane. A crowd assembled rapidly and soon there were a number of people surrounding the house, staring into the doors, expecting every moment to sec a wounded man or a corpse brought out. They were not aware whether the Justice lmd shot someone or whether someone had shot the Justice, hut they knew that something ha/I hnpiiened, because they could see the smoke in the room. Justice Molina remained in his pri vate office, anil he was not visible. Soon a mulatto man walked out of the office, look ing somewhat frightened, and ail eyes turned on him, but he ha/1 nothing to say. Justice Molina remained out of sight, and after a time the crowd dispersed. A Morning News reporter called upon tho Magistrate to get an explanation. He was found in his private office talking to a woman. He was asked why the shot was fired, and this and other questions he refused to answer, but. went on talking with the woman. Repeated inquiries were put to him, and by such replies as "Was there a shot fired?” “Where was it?” and similar expressions, he professed ignorance of any shooting. No report of it had been made to the police, nor was any report made by the officer on Bull street to the officers at the barracks. The matter is a mystery, and whether an attempt to murder was committed is not known. UNCLE SAM’S JUSTICE. Store Burglars Held for Entering a Poet Office. Alie Gant and George Sams, the two ne groes arrested Monday morning for break ing in Mr. Rothwell’s store Sunday morn ing, were arraigned liefore United States Commissioner Beckett yesterday afternoon, charged with having broken into the post office at No. 1.

Gant was hel/I for trial liefore tire Unite/1 States Court at the No vember term, and Sams was held as a wit ness, but as the State still holds the latter, he was not committed ns a witness. Be tween these two fires the negroes will hardly escape punishment. They made a partial con fession of the robliery. and another trip out into the country yesterday afternoon, secured another lot of the plunder, consist - ing of seven pairs of shoos, several pieces of print, two hams, and other goods. Three out of the five in the gang are corralled, and the others will be secured soon. The Last Call.

An Interesting Case Before the Mayor —An Ordinance that wa3 Never Heed ed to be Enforced—A Neat Case Made Upon Some of the Aldermen—Mayor Lester on Trial Before Himself. In the Mayor’s Court yesterday morning the case of Simon Mitchell was tried. Mr. Mitchell was placed upon the information docket for erecting a huge golden arm upon a post in front of his place of business, and the information was filed by City Marshal Wade, who anted under an ordinance passed in 1872, which is as follows: The Mayor and Aldermen of theeity of Savan nah in Council assemded. do hereby ordain, That it it shall not he in v: ul for any person to put up, erect or repair any sign or wooden awning across any street, pavement, lane or thoroughfare, or any part thereof, in the city of bavannah; and that whenever any such sign or awning, now so erected, : hall, from any reason whatsoever, be displace/! or removed, or lie out of repair it shall not tie lawful to rebuild, replace or repair such sign or awning in violation of the true meaning and intent of this ordinance. The ordinance then goes on to provide how awnings to be erected shall lie con structed but mak&s no provision for the erection in any fashion of signs. The golden arm was removed from its perch in order that it might be re-gilded, and when the carpenters were at work put ting it back Mr. Wade happened to pass by and he told Mr. Mitchell that it was a vio lation of the ordinance to put up the sign. Mr. Mitchell called afterwards upon the Marshal and was informed that he could put the sign upon an iron post. Liter he received a letter from the Clerk of tlie Council instructing him that the sign could not be put back in its old place. Mr. Mitchell wrote to Alderman Thomas, in quiring aiiout tho matter, but receiving no reply, he put up the sign. Ho was then placed upon the information docket and the case came to trial with S. B. Adams, Esq., representing the city, and J. R Saussy, Esq., the defendant. Aldermen Duncan, Myers, Nichols and Thomas were present, and some of them testified as to signs in front of their respective places. Tho testimony in the case was heard and the arguments made, Mr. Adams holding that tlie ordinance plainly inado any sign which extended across the sidewalk or a part of the sidewalk unlawful. The de fense was that the ordinance was generally received as meaning that all signs should be securely put up. Mr. Saussy went on to show that the very Board of Aldermen that passed the ordinance consented to its viola tion, and that successive Aldermen had dis regarded it. The decision of the Mayor was that Mr. Mitchell’s golden arm must he taken down. Mayor Lester fined Mr. Mitchell $lO for violating the ordinance, but said he would remit tue fine if the sign was removed within fifteen days. It caused some amusement w hen it it was brought out in the testimony that Dr. Dun can’s sign extended across a part of the side walk ; that Mr. Myers’ sign stretched across the entire pavement ; that Mr. Nichols had put up a sign on a post within the last three or four months: that the Mayor’s law office was decorated with a sign that constantly violated the ordinance; that. Mr. Thotuas had taken down a sign from on a post onlv the previous day and that Mr. Adams’ law sign no longer swung from a rod, but was nailed against the wall. This information was brought out by Mr. Saussy to show that the Aldermen and city officials did not consider the ordinance in question operative. It is said that, Mr. Wade will make up a list of all the signs now extending over the line of the sidewalk, and that all of them will have to be removed. Charleston Localisms. The spring tides Monday overflowed the drains and flooded the streets in the western sections of the city. Senator T. W. Woodward, of Fairfield county, arrived in the city Monday, and said that the cotton crop in his section would not pan out -as much as had been ex pected, but that the crop was very good. Tho truck farmers on the “Neck” and in St. Andrew’s Palish are busy setting out the young strawberry plants for nex year’s crop. Most of the farmers were waiting for rain, hut the heavy showers on Satur day put ttie ground in g/xxi condition for the reception of the young plants and the fields in every direction will soon be green with them. The setting will be very largo, as most of the planters have been induced to plant heavily this year on account of the tine prices they realized for their berries last season. There w.os a good deal of talk on the streets Monday about, the rumored re-establish ment of the Adger Line of New York steamers. While nothing definite is known there seems to be a general impression among those who are interested in the mat ter that tho line will be re-established in time for the full and winter business. As has been stated, the two steamers on the line, the City of Columbia and City of Atlanta, were seized in New York under a fore closure of mortgage, and are to lie sold on Sept. 5. Tire general impression is that the Quiutards and the Mallorys who were in terested in the shins, will buy them in and will put them on tlie line again. Both ships were very popular, anil their return to the city will be hailed with pleasure. There seems to be no especial complaint against the Clyde line, which runs four splendid steamers, but two of these steamers run to Florida ports and only stop at Charleston on their way to and from Florida. At any rate it is argued that the business of the port is sufficient to warrant the existence of the two linos of steamers, and develop ments are awaited with interest. Consumption, Wasting? Diseases, And general debility. Doctors disagree as to the relative value of Cod Liver Oil and lly pophosphites; the one supplying strength and fiesli, the other giving nerve power, and acting as ti tonic to the digestive und entire system. But in Scott's Emulsion of Cod l.iyer Oil with Hypophosphites the two are combined, and the effect is wonderful. Thousands who have derived no permanent lienefit from other preparations have been cured by this. Scott's Emul sion is perfectly palatable and is easily di gested by l hose who cannot tolerate plain Cod Liver Oil. Notice.
