Richard Williams and Andrew Gibbs, two negro deck hands on the steamer Ethel, got into an altercation on the ascending trip of the vessel on Friday afternoon', and Gibbs struck Williams on the forehead with tho blade of an ax, cutting a desp gash diagon ally across the left eye, ttirougn which the brains oozed out. It appears that the steamer bad taken on some wood at Porter's landing, about eighty-five miles up the river, and the hands were engaged in piling it up in the engine room. Williams was passing the wood to Gibbs nnd was working too fast for the latter, when t’ey had some words over it, and Gibbs wont oft and got the ax. Williams saw him com ing threateningly toward him with the ax, and he grabbed up a spade aud s'ruclt at Gibbs with the handle, but missed his atm, when Gibbs chopped him in the head, lay ing open the skull. When the boat reached Cohen’s Bluff Dr. Johnson was called to dress the wound, and pronounced it a very serious one. He put in severs! stitches to ksep the brains from falling out until tiin injured ruan could be brought to this city aud have his wound given further attention. The affray oreatod great excitement among the deck bands, and they threatened to kill Gibbs. The officers of the b at did not put Gibbs in irons or make any show of detaining him to answer for the as-ault, and when tho boat reached Cohen's Bluff Gibbs jumped ashore and made his escape. When the Ethel arrived here l*ist nignt Williams was put into a wagon aud was sent out to St. Joseph’s in firmary, where Dr. Brooks is attending him. Williams, who has beau several years on different boats running up the river, is quite a favorite with the deck hands, aud Gibbs had only mads his sec md trip. Williams Injuries are very serious ami may prove fatal, although Dr. Johns in ex pressed the opinion that with good earonnd attention he may recover. TWO Pittas YESTERDAY. J. and K. M.

THE MORNING NEWS : SUNDAY, APRIL (I. 1890-TWELVE PAGES. BANDERS GIVES HIMSELF UP. The Plum Branch Defaulting Postmas ter Surrenders to the Authorities’. United States Deputy Marshal Hopkins passed through Savannah last night from Augusta to Charleston with Sanders, the defaulting postmaster of Plum Branch, 8. CX, who escaped from the marshal here about two weeks ago. Sanders was somewhat intoxicated. His iace was .shaven clean, and he was wearing anew pair of shoes. As soon as Deputy Marshal Hopki .s landed Sande: s in Savao nah he handcuffed him, and Sanders seemed to be very much humiliated. He sat at the and -pot with his heavy overcoat thrown across his bands to hide the big nickel cuff3. The marshal stood clow by his pris mer, as if afraid Sanders might sneak out the back way. Sanders was accompanied by his friend and former bondsman. Rev. A. G. Collier of Plum Branch. Rsv. Mr. Collier said that Sanders had been in Plum Branch a week before he knew that he was in town. As soon as he found that the defaulting postmaster wa. there, he at once sent for him and advised him to surrender. Sanders accepted the alvic’. and gave himself up to Mr. Collier. Deputy Marshal Hopkins was notified, und was instructed to to meet Sanders in Augusta. Tho mar shal reached Augusta earlier than the prismir, nnd a policeman was sent out from Augusta to Plum Branch to bring Sanders In. Mr. Collier accompanied San ders to Augusta, and the prisoner insisted on the minister going on to Charleston. Sanders was asked how ho got to Plumb Branch, and ho replied: “I walked, of course. flow else, when a fellow’s strapped It was a very easy matted, ho said, to get away from the deputy. "When Marshal Hopkins wont off fooling with tho woman,” ho said, “then’s when I skipped. Which way did I go t Well, I just walked rl ’ht down through tho yard and watched the boys as they coupled up and greaied the boxes, and I pretended as if I was one of them until I got through the yard.” “What did you do then?’ “Kept walking. What else you reckon I done. I was free then, you know - .” Sanders said that he did not stop, but walked uli night and all the next day. Ha stopped at two or three houses and got something to oat and begged his way until he got into South Carolina. When lie crossed the river he sit down on a log and wondered what was best for him to do. If ho returned to his old home he would be arresteii In all like lihood the marshal from whom he had es caped had anticipated him and was guarding the town to see Unit Sanders did not enter it. Sanders said that he had about made up his mind to retrace his steps and leave for parts unknown, when it flashed over him that he had but one life. It had taken a bad turn, but he would follow it to the end. “I got sort of reckless." he said with a sort of sick smile, “and I did not care w hat came.” He finally got to Plum Branch, where he mot his old Moods. “Are you guilty of using tho govern ment’s funds f” “Yes, I used Uuitod States money,” San ders replied. He said that liquor was the cause of it all. It was in him to be a thief, he said. Ho used small sums at a time, ex pecting to return the money, and ho got deeper and deeper into tho mire, aud finally fot so far that tie was unable to got out. t was then that he ran away to San Fran cisco, where Deputy Marshal Hopkins ar rested him two weeks ago. Sanders said that he would not be in jail long. He said that he had friends in South Carolina, and he would be released soon. Rev. Mr. Collier said that Sanders bore the best reputation, prior to this offense, of any young man iu tiiat section of S mth Carolina. He was appointed postmaster over older heads during Cleveland’s term of office, and had conducted the business remarkably tvell. Before Sanders’ term expired he be gan to drink, aud becan.ii almost an habit ual drunkard. It was when he was on these sprees that he used the governmeut’s money. Mr. Collier said that Sanders came from a good family. His father was deacon iu the Plum Branch Baptist Church. Marshal Hopkins remained over here en route to Charleston o ily a short time. He seemed very much pleased at tho surrender of Sanders to tho authorities Ha will go back to ’Frisco a poorer, but a happier man. Out of the marshal’s pocket conies the $lO3 reward offered for the re capture of Sanders. In addition to this, there are other exiwnses which, footed up, will m ike tho trip from California over here cost somewhere near $390. Sanders’ trial will come up duriug tho summer. THE EXLSY INJUNCTION CABE. A Legal Wrangle Over the Bay Street Extension. The Kxley injunction suit against the county commissioners to enjoin the latter from prosecuting the work of building the Bay street extension across the lands of the plaintiff occupied tho entire afternoon ses sion of the superior court yesterday, and it was nearly 8 o’clock last night when the argument was ooncluded. Judge Falligant took tho i avers and said that he would examine the record carefully before rendering a decision. T. P. Ra venal presented the case for plain tiff in a lengthy argument, in which ho cited u long list of authorities. He was fol lowed by J. R. Saussy, representing the oommisnoneri, and Hon. W. G. Charlton closed for the plaintiff. The defense claimed that due and legal not.ee had been served on Mr. Kxley that the road had been laid out, and he was notified after lie had declined to entertain u proposition for nu amicably settlement for tiie land required for the road that the commissioners ijit niled to build it, and to put in any claim for damages that might arise within the limit prescribed by statute, which he failed to do. It was also argued that the proper remedy had been invoked, and that an injunction does not lie. The plaintiff’s counsel denied that the commissioners had proceeded regularly at any step; that no order of condemnation is of record, and that there was and is no judgment to certiorari from, but that, on the contrary, fences had bean torn down and the work of grading prosecuted at a time when the county commissioners did not know whore the western lino of the city is. aud therefore the road had "not been laid out as claimed. CITY BREVITIES. C. A. Sledge of Way cross, charged wilh murder and confined in jail here, will bo taken to Waycross for trial to-day. Sheriff Henderson arrived last night and will take tho prisoner back this morning.

THE WORK OF A YEAR. ANNIVERSARY OF THE GREAT FIRE OF APRIL, 1889. The Eurnt District Already Covered With Buildings Double the Value of Thosj Which They Replace—Half a Million Dollars of Improvements Already Completed and In Progress A year ago last night agae jet blazed up in the show window of Daniel Hogan’s dry goods store a L Broughton aud Baru&rd streets, as the lights were being turned on at the du-k of evening, and a strong north west wind blowing a gale fanned tne little flame into a general conflagration, which will never be forgotten by those who saw it. By that fire s9uo,')oo worth of property was swept away. Handsome stores, with their crowded shelves of goods, just laid in for the spring trale, aided fuel to the flames, winch the wind carried southward and westward, until toe Odd Fellows’ hall, the Guards’ handsome a-senal, and the In dependent Presbyterian church, aud many residences, were fired and wont down in the general ruin. "the WORK of a year. A year ago this Sunday morning black ened and smoking ruins marked the scene of the conflagration of the night before. It was a most discouraging time, but the people were not content to sit down and mourn over their misfortunes, ana although but a year has elapsed since the lire, the burned district has beau nar rowed, and the work of rebuilding has progressed so that the value of buildings thus far erected is nearly double the value of those which they have re placed, and there is every reason to believe that before another year no vestige of the fire will be discernible. HANDSOME STRUCTURES BUILT. Since box 14 rang out tne knell of nearly #1.1100,000 worth of property in the burned district handsome and more commodious storehouses of modern architecture aud finish have taken the place of less attractive and less commodious structures. The Odd Fellows building is nearly com pleted and is. a much more imposing edifice, and in construction will ho a much more secure and valuable building for tho pur poses for which it is intended. Workou the Independent Presbyterian church is in progress, and it is to bo iu ap pearance, as it is in design, like the ven erable edifice which was destroyed, but it will be fire proof and surmounted by an iron spire, so that it may escape destruction in the way it met its fata before. Many stores have been enlarged, and it is estimated that the buildings already put up and now in construction, | when completed, will have cost not less that 8400,000, cr #150,000 more than the cost of the buildings which they replace. CLOSE TO HALF A MILLION. The following approximate estimate of the buildings erected thus far and the Inde pendent Presbyterian church, aud Odd Fol lows building now being erected, will give some idea of the improvement iu the burned district: Cost of Cost of Old.

All frame buildings have been replaced by brick structures, and the wooden cor nices which did s> much to extend the ravages of last year’s fire have been suc ceeded by metal cornices, and the buildings have ben:i generally constructed with a view to their greater security from fire. Ii addition to the buildings destroyed, the Arkwright cotton factory, which was burned on tho Monday afternoon following at a loss of nearly $109,009, is being suc ceeded by tho Savannah cotton mills, located east of the city, at a cost as great, but with modern machinery and ap pliances, and is rapidly approaching com pletion. THE GUARDS’ ARSENAL SITE. The site of tho Guards arsenal is still vacant, awaiting negotiations looking to the erection of the new government building there, and should they miscarry, it is under stood that a handsome building is to be erected, the first floor of which is to be de voted to business houses, and the other floors to stock rooms and law offices, as the property is considered too valuable for an arsenal, which it Is contemplated to build on less valuable property s njtli of Gaston street. Negotiations pending for the sale of other lots in the burned district have thus far re tarded builaing, but the greater part of the district has been built up. RUBBED A SCHOONER. Constable Coleman’s Lively Chase After a Thieving Boat Hand. Daniel McPherson (colored) was arrested yesterday by Constable Coleman upon a warrant issued in Justice McDermott’s office by Capt. Mickies of the schooner Vine yard, charging McPherson with larceny on the ship.
