THE CRIMINAL DOCKET.
The Court, as the trial of the criminal
cases was proceeding yesterday afternoon,
took occasion to inveigh against the number
of trivial cases brought iiefore him, where
there was no apparent warrant for it.
Willie Walker, the shrewd little 8-year
old negro boy, charged with the larceny of
#43 from Mrs. Bon an, was tried. Judge
Harden said he was at a loss what to do
■with him. He was too young, and the as
sociations there were too demoralizing to
send him to the chain-gang. After con
sidering the case during a soliloquy, the
oouit postponed the sentence for one week.
Charles Lee was fined SSO for carrying
concealed weapons. In passing sentence
the court took occasion to say that there
was no excuse for carrying a murderous
weapon, and he proposed to punish all such
offenders.
For stealing three coats from Levy Bros.,
Henry Young was sentenced to six mouths
at hard labor.
For vagrancy, John H. Getting, a sailor,
pleaded guilty and was seut to the chain
gang for two months.
Phoebe Graham was given six months for
the larceny of three dresses from the resi
dence of O. C. Butler.
Ben Jackson, for pointing a pistol at
Alice Pelot, was discharged, but halted at
the door and taken into custody for another
offense, which was not developed in the
court room.
gambling to be made odious.
Henry Johnson was sent to the chain
ing for six months for gambling, and
from the statement of the defendant it ap
peared that there were two or three others,
including the prosecuting witness, in tho
game. Judge Harden, in passing sentence,
regretted that he did not have the others
"before him to give them a like sentence.
The following prisoners were discharged:
Sw inton Gay, malicious mischief; Mollis
Him mo ns, sipiple larceny; John Thompson,
larceny of barrels; and Hezekiah Brown,
assault. Jacob Elias was discharged on a
nolle prosequi on the request of the prose
cuting witness. Elias wus charged with
the larceny of #3.
FLAMES AT TYBEE.
George Worthsn's Cottage Burned—
Hla Estimated Loss S9OO.
News reached the city shortly after mid
night that the Ocean House at Tybee
was burning. Signal Observer
Evans telephoned from the Tybee
Signal Station, on the north end of
the island, that a big fire was raging on the
south end, in the direction of the Ocean
House, and from the signal station it looked
as though the hotel was burning.
Jlr. Evans went across the island and at
1 o'clock telephoned the particulars of the
tire, which proved to be a cottage and small
adjoining house south of the railroad track
and about 150 yards north of the
Ocean House. Tho cottage was
owned by Mr. George Wort hen, and
■was totally destroyed. The owner had
moved in a lot of furniture yesterday, and
•was preparing to occupy the place in a day
or two. Five laborers were sleeping in the
cottage when it took Are. Tho fire broko
out on tbe upper floor, and in a very short
time the entire building was in flames. The
fire burned rapidly, and in twenty minutes
the house was consumed.
How the fire originated is a mystery.
There had been none in the house during tho
clay, and the occupants were unablo to ac
count for it. Mr. Wortheu was unin
sured and be estimates his loss at about
•900.
The rumor that the Ocean House had
burned caused considerable excitement in
the city. The hotel was opened last week
and its lessee, Mr. Hodges, has between
to,ooo and $6,000 worth of furniture and
stores there, with no insurance.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, MAY 8, 1888.
ROW ABOUT ALLEN'S ARREST.
lele of Hope Negroes Come to Blows
Over a Refugee's Betrayal.
There came very near being a tragedy on
the Isle of Hope last Saturday among some
negroes, growing out of the arrest of the
negro, Allen, on the suspicion that he was
connected with the murder of Geo. Smith,
at Tybee Island, last July.
It appears by the statement of Trim
Middleton (colored) that “Bill” Smith, an
other negro, charged Middleton with be
traving Alien’s whereabouts to the officers,
ana of repeating eei-tain suspicious state
ments made by Allen while in hiding on
the island. Middleton denied the charge
with some warmth and a war of words fol
lowed, Hmith, according to Middleton's
version, advancing with a knife. Middleton
attempted to keep him off with a walking
stick, but ho said that if n bystander had
not interfered he would have i>een unable to
withstand the onset. He filed a charge
against Smith in Justice Naughtin’s oourt,
and when Constable Si basch arrested
Smith the latter filed a counter charge
against MiddletoD, and he too was taken
into custody. They gave bond pending ail
examination to-morruw.
Allen, who it will be remembered was
discharged, the evidence not being sufficient
to hold him for any complicity in the Smith
tragedy, was held for connection with the
riots on the wharves last June, in which he
was a leading spirit, and during which he
made a murderous assault upon a stevedore.
He is still in jaiL
BURGLARS IN “810 BIRD’S" BAR.
They Carry Off SBO in Silver
Bulldog Revolver.
J<ate Sunday night or early "yesterday
morning, a burglar, or burglars, effected an
entrance to the barroom and grocery
store of Jackson Bird, better known as
"Big Bird," to distinguish him from his
brother, who is a much smaller man, at the
corner of Farm and Bay streets, and
breaking the lock of a small desk, in which
Bird kept his money, abstracted about $8(1
in silver coin and a British bull-dog re
volver.
Bird said that on Sunday night he and
his brother counted the money, and there
was something over SBU They took out $3
or $3 apiece, and closing the store, went up
town to get their BUpoer. On their return
thy went to bed. Yesterday morning,
when Bird went to the desk to get some
money to go to market, he found the lock
broken and tho money and revolver gone.
A closer investigation revealed tho fact
that the gate leading into the
lot on the Bay street side
had been opened, and the hall door in the
rear was unbolted. He explains this by
saying that the bolt evidently did not catch
Sunday night, but he said that tho ball door
leading into the store was locked Sunday
night and the key taken out, and yesterday
morning tho door was found unlocked.
Detective Wetherhom was sent for yes
terday and made an examination of (lie
desk, and wbilo the lock was broken there
was no mark on the lid of the desk to show
that it had been forced. A purse, with a
small coin or two and some pennies, was left
untouched, as were a box of cartridges and
the jewelry of Bird's deceased wife. Who
ever abstracted the money was thoroughly
familiar with tne store. About #8 of the
money taken belonged to Jackson Bird’s
brother.
THE CONFIDING BONDSMEN.
Rules Absolute Taken Upon Estreated
Bonds.
There were four rules absolute taken in
the City Court yesterday on estreated bonds
ns follows:
Against John Kiley as surety for Lucius
Dotsen for the sum of SIOO. Dotson was
indicted for carrying concealed weapons
and skipped the jurisdiction of the court.
Against A. R. Fawcett as surety for
Charles W. Wright for SIOO, and another
against Fawcett for SIOO, amount of bond
for A. P. Roche. Wright and Roche were

chaps left a stake behind to secure their
bondsman.
Against Geo. H. Jones, as surety for
Adam Morse, for SSOO. Morse was in
dicted in the City Court for carrying con
cealed weapons, and owing to the murder
ous characier of the assault upon Conductor
Barbee, his bond was placed much higher

tion papers, and if brought back it is not
thought the Solicitor Geueral will force the
collection of the estreated bond.

THREE STRAIGHT GAMES
BAVANNAH AGAIN DOES UP THE
NORTH GEORGIANS.
The Ex-Champions Drop Another
Game to the “Babies’ Butler’s
Curves Puzzle the Big Sluggers and
Eleven of Them Go Out on 3trikes-
The Score 13 to B—Augusta to Play
In Savannah To-day.
Seven hundred people saw Savannah do
up the Atlanta ex-champions again yester
day. It was the third straight game that
the locals have defeated the North Geor
gians, and it was the worst defeat of all.
The visitors battel well, and they ran bases
well, but their bad fielding and their inability
to face Butler’s delivery, stood in the way
of their winning.
It was a hard fight up to the sixth inning.
Then tho score stood 7to 6in Atlanta's
favor. In the next two innings Savannah
failed to score, while Atlanta got in one
run. In the eighth inning, though, the
locals got in their heavy work and piled up
seven runs, giving them a lead which in the
remaining two innings the visitors were un
able to pull up to.
At the end of the seventh inning
tho Atlantas had tho game, and would
have won had they uoi got rat
tled at the ln-<t moment, when they
had everything their own way. It was
that and the locals’ bunched hit-" that won
the game for Savannah. Brown’s home
run on a long drive into center field in the
third inning and Butler’s superb pitching
were the features of the game. The follow
ing is the score:

They Obtain Verdicts Aggregating
Nearly $6,000.
There was a very earnest legal conflict
yesterday between opposing counsel in five
casas brought by the creditors of Pearson &
Spann in the City Court, in which a plea in
nbatement was entered that suits hail been
entered in the same cases in the Superior
Court. An effort was made on one side to
force the plaintiffs’ counsel on the other
side into a trial, but it was resisted, and
Judge Harden assigned tho cases for next
Thursday.

THE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE.
The Savannah Branch Organized and
Officers Elected.
A meeting of the congregations of the
various evangelical churches in the city
was held at the Baptist church last night
for the purpose of organizing a branch of
the Evangelical Alliance. Rev. Dr. Bow
man presided. The meeting opened with
devotional exercises by Rev. Dr. Axson,
after which the chairman set forth in a
short address the object of the meeting.
He said that the alliance association had
for its object the furtherance of religious
opinion, with the intent to manifest and
strengthen Christian uuity, and to promote
religious liberty and co-operaiiou in Chris
tian work without interfering with the
internal affairs of the different denomina
tions. He added that the national
alliance at New York recommended
that the clergyman and leading active lay
men of the several churches of a community
come together and organize branch al
liances, and in this wav gain a reliable
knowledge of the spiritual and moral needs
of the people of their locality.
The members will be expected to devote
mast of their time and labor among the
non-church goers of the city and stir them
up to a sense of their duty to God and them
selves. Such work, Dr. Bowman said, will
quicken the religious life of a community
and raise the spiritual temperature of the
churches. After he had concluded his re
marks, the following gentlemen, Rev. Mr.
McGehee, M . Janies Farie, Jr.. Mr. L. B.
Davis, Mr. E. F. Cunningham and Rev. J.
IV. Rogan, spoke a few minutes on tho same
subject.
The Alliance was fully organized and the
following officers were elected:
President, James Farie, Jr., of the Bap
tist church.
Vice-President, B. B. Reppard, of Wesley
Monumental church.
Secretary, E. F. Cunningham, of the In
dependent Presbyterian church.
Treasurer, John Houston, of Trinity
Methodist church.
After the election of officers tho benedic
tion was prouounced by Rev. Dr. Bowman.
ON RAIL AND CROjSTIE.
Local and General Gossip in Railway
Circles.
Anniston, Ala., lays claim to building the
first locomotive ever built south of Vir
ginia.
The terrible Chatsworth disaster on the
Toledo, Peoria and Western railroad last
summer has cost the company over SSO J,-
000. This is the amount paid out in claims.
“A railway company is not bound to stop
its trains nor slacken its speed on approach
ing public crossings, and a traveler who at
tempts to cross must bo held to be aware of
this rule, and act with reference to it; and
if he fails to so act, ho is guil:y of con
tributory negligence. Where an engineer
sees a person on the track ahead of him,
apparently of adult age, in possession or
his ordinary faculty, and at liberty to leave
the track at pleasure, he may rightfully
presume that such person will leave tho
track in time to avoid danger.” This is the
ruling of the Supreme Court of Indiana in
a recent case against the Ohio and Missis
sippi Railroad Company.
An Alligator Story.
From the Oakland (Fla.) Sun.
Mr. F. L. Merritt, whose leputation for
truth and veracity stands unquestioned in
this community, steps to the front this week
with the ‘'boss” alligator srory. He says
that a 'gator was killed by a party of hunt
ers last week. On cutting off his head,
something was seen projecting from tho
bloody orifice. Acloser examination showed
it to bo the tail of another ’gator, which
was pulled out and found to measure six
feet in length. On cutting open the larger
one, there was also found a camp stool,
camp kettle, trace chain and well preserved
piece of hams, besido a few minor articles
such as umbrella ribs, vegetable crates and
a few petrified chestnuts. Of course, there
are some who will not believe this, but the
'gators and “trinkets” can be seen at any
time by calling on Mr. Merritt at his place
on Lake Apopka.

nee county, Fla., are now being recognized
