8 YOUNG MARIN POES FREE RE IS TURNED LOOSE BY THE CORONER’S JURY. The KilllVigr of the Negro, John Williams, an Accident -The Stofy ot the Assault Upon Marin as Told by Witnesses—The Jury’s Verdict. Coroner Dixon held an investigation yes terday in]to the killing of the negro John Williams by young Oscar Marin last Monday. The investigation was held at Justice Molina’s office. The jury had pre viously examined the body of the negro, Irhicb lay at the undertaking rooms. A number of witnesses were summoned and the usual crowd of spectators was on hand. Marin, who has been held at the police barracks since the shooting, was brought Tn and took a sent beside his counsel, It. ft. Richards, Esq. There were but trifling contradictious in fhe testimony of all the witnesses who ac tually saw the shooting, and the evidence rorroborated the accounts that have already been given in the Morning Nkws. STORY OK THK AFFRAY. A party of young white boys, consisting pf Oscar Marin, a younger brother, A. B. Decker and Eddie Sack were going along Barnard street, and had reached the corner of Henry when they came u|*in a party of hagrees,' who bad stretched themselves tcross the sidewalk to impede their way. The boys made a futile effort to pass, and all except Oscar Marin turned ami went back. He was more determined than the remainder and attempted to force his way. One of the negroes caught him by the collar and struck him over the head with a Hick. He gave up the intention of passing, and went to his home near by and pretty toon returned with a rifle in his hand. The hegroes seeing this started to meet him, and when they came up to him a struggle en tued. In this struggle which seemed, on the part of the negroes, to be to get posses sion of the gun, it went off and llie con tents lodged in the abdomen of John Williams. SET UPON BY THK CROWD. The other negroes set upon Marin and had him on the ground when bystanders Separated them. Marin was arrested and was kept in the barracks until the death of Williams, which occurred Thursday at the Georgia Infirmary. The testimony of tire witnesses indicated that the guu went off in a struggle in which three or more were engaged, and with the Peacemakers attempting to prevent it being fired. The parties were ail too close togeth er for any delilierate aim to lie taken, or demonstration made to shoot any particu lar one of the crowd, and it was upon this fact that the jury evidently based their ver dict which read as follows: “We are of the opinion that John Williams came to his death from a gunshot wound, the gun being in the bands of Oscar Marin, and two un known negro men. Prom the evidence we cannot decide who caused the discharge of the gun, and we consider it accidental.” YOUNG MARIN RELEASED. Upon the rendering of this verdict young Marin was released and joined his family, w'hicb was present. There was an evidence In their locks that a heavy load had been lifted from their hearts. Beyond this there was no other demonstration. BLEW HIS HEAD OFF. Buicide of Miss Low’s Affianced Hus band in Leamington, Eng. Maj. J. F.

On Monday morning, Dec. in. while the family were breakfasting, Mrs. Ann Sophia Raynor, who is described as a tall, handsome indy about 50, called and desired to see the Major. Immediately Mr. Green seemed very much confused and dismayed, and sent word to the lady to meet him at the Claren don Hotel iu half an hour. Turning to his entertainers, the Major said that the lady was the widow of a brother officer, who hail fallen in the Ashauteo war, and was con stantly bothering him about business mat ters. But half satisfied at the lame explanation the family saw' the Major ride off to Leam ington, and within half an hour were ap prised of his self-destruction. It is said that Maj. Green had for some years been very Intimate with Mrs. Raynor, who is a dash ing widow of Maidenhead, on the Thames. The announcement of his engagement to Miss Low greatly infuriated her, and it is said that when closeted with him in the’ room at the Clarendon she threatened to make certain damaging disclosures unless the engagement were immediately broken off. Tn-Major, in a fit of despair, snatched a bird gun standing by and discharged it at his lace. Half of his head was blown off, but he lived several hours in terrible agony. LOSS OF THE ALICE CLARK.

His chaplain, Mr. Sln vert, is also a young man, about 25 years old, perhaps, a head or two taller than his patron, and of perhaps slenderer build. He is clad in the regular orthodox Church of England uniform, frock coat, close-buttoned vest, and the regulation white collar.

DECEMBER 31. 1887. THE JASPER FESTIVAL. The Committees Getting Things Into Excellent Shape. Everything appertaining to the approach ing citizens’ celebration of the unveiling of the Jasper monument, is dismissed with the liveliest of interest by Savantiahiaus. The coming event is attracting considerable at tention abroad and the prospects are that an immense crowd will lie in Savannah during the festival. The several committees charged with the multitudinous details in cident to an affair of such magnitude are busily engaged with their respective duties. The Executive Committee held a very in teresting meeting last night at the Jasper Festival headquarters, over Olmsteoil A Co.’s bunk. A proposition was submitted from Sergt, Walsh, the celebrated swords man, to give an exhibition cavalry combat at an early day for the benefit of the festival fund and was favorably received. A com mittee, consisting of Gen. R. H. Anderson, Capt, J. F. Wheaton and Col. C. H. Olm stead, was appointed to consider the sub ject, and, if it is determined to have such an exhibition, to make all the necessary arrangements. A resolution was passed authorizing the Committee on Amusements to give nn order for tlie fireworks display. Mr. McArthur, of the Luduen & Bates Southern Music House, was present by in vitation and made some valuable sugges tions in regard to advertising and other matters connected with the celebration, which were favorably received, and a com mittee was appointed to carry his sugges tions into execution. It was reported that ten business houses on Bay street had given SIOO each to the celebration. There will be a meeting of the General Committee next Friday night, when re ports are expected from all the sub-com mittees. KING WINTER’S COURT. Christmas Scenes In Song at Masonic Temple—Signors and Senoritas. A veritable Santa Claus in red coat and hat, with his huge pack of toys slung across bis back, came down the chimney all sooty and brown, and stepped through the broad open fire-place upon the stage at Masonic Hall last night. It was Santa Glaus in Mrs. Burke’s Christmas cantata, “King Winter.” Tlie little folks iu the audience clapped their hands when they saw old Santa, for he was their favorite. The cantata was very prettily given. Mr. Robert Coin wall was gray old King Winter, and Miss Fodie Shivers was his pretty Queen in Siumberlaiid. Miss Mamie Proc to. was tlie Dream Fairy, and old Santa Claus was Mr. W. de Bruyn Kops. Mas ter Willie Dancy was the King's page. The chorus was composed of the members of St. John’s Sunday school. The cantata is a series of very prettily arranged scenes and it is full of bright and catchy music. The first sceno was the pro posal of King Winter. (>ne of the prettiest parts of the entertainment was the dancing in Spanish costume by the Misses and Mas ter Moynelo und Master and Miss Wilcox. They appeared in the full costume of a high born Castilian, with guitar, tambourine and castanet and danced the grace ful Spanish figures as though they were little maids and masters from Spain. They danced so prettily that the au dience wanted them to appear again and they came out in the second scene. After the proposal of King Winter came Santa Claus and the Court of Siumberlaiid in Council, and then the last scene in which Santa Claus plans a surprise. All of the solos were well sung. Miss Proctor's con tralto solo, “Father, Oil, Hear Us,” was very sweetly sung. All of the scenes were cleverly arranged. King Winter’s court was a brilliant assem bly, and the Christmas tree, with its boughs laden with gifts, was admirably gotten up. The cantata throughout was very cleverly given. Mrs. Burke, who lmd charge of it, and conducted all tlie rehearsals, was assisted in the stage management by Mr. J. D. Miller. After the cantata the ladies of Bt. John’s Rectory Society served refreshments, and the young people danced. AT THE THEATRE. • > “Shadows of a Great City” Last Night -Next Week’s Plays. “Shadows of a Great City” was played last night before a smaller, but if it is pos sible, a more enthusiastic audience than it played before Thursday night. The piav is one of the best that has ever been seen here and it is given by a tine company. The scenery is beautiful and is finely arranged. Altogether the performance is one that Savannahiaus do not often see. The com pany wdl give a matinee performance to day and will close to-night. The next attraction will be Robert Downing on Monday and Tuesday nights. Matt Berry. Manager of Katie Putnam, is in the city arranging for her appearance next, Wednesday and Thursday nights, so that next week will lx? pretty well filled. ROSS GETTING ANXIOUS. He Fails to Hoar From Greek George and Wants to Know Why. Duncan C. Ross says that he has Ixxm un able to hear from Greek George since the dispatch from him was published in the Morning News, and the $5O deposit was put up. He does not consider the match as a settled fact, because the Greek lias made no response to three telegrams which Ross has sent him, asking for a settle ment as to date, place, style of wrestling and other preliminaries. Further more he says that lie thinks the Greek is using his name to advertise a hipixxiroming snap, in which Greek George and Muiilcr ere interested. Roes says that he has been m training three days, is pre lin red to give the Greek alt that he wants, aud that if he does not come to time soon he will denounce him in the sporting press.

Crumpler to Undertake an Important Work In Savannah. For a long time there has been a recog nized necessity for the presence of a City Missionary to aid the pastors in looking af ter and caring for the sick and poor, and hunting up the hundreds who attend no church and giving them the Gospel, organ izing Sunday schools for the children who are in no school and teaching them morals and religion. There is more of this work to do than the pastors of the different churches can attend to, and no city can afford to suf fer this important interest to bo neglected. All are interested. Every family, every in terest will be benefit* and, directly or indi rectly, by the faithful labors of u zealous missionary. No city as large as Savannah is without a City Missionary, and these missionaries are helped and encouraged by all lovers of peace and good morals.
