    RIDDING the criminals.
THREE murderers convicted in
LIBERTY COCNTY.
Robert Oxendine and Wrisrht Wells
Given Lite Sentences—Tbe Slayer of
■ Kina' Solomon” Acquitted Con-*
ductor Mallard’s Assailant Sentenced
toUeven’ Years Imprisonment/-Horse
Thief Hardee Creates a Scene in
Court.
The Liberty superior court, which ad
journed Friday, disposed of one of the
largest criminal dockets in that oounty for
a long time.
Robert Oxendine, the North Carolina
neero-Indian who murdered James Jone*
on Nov. 12, 1889, near Johnston’s Station,
was convicted and given a life sentence.
Tee jury was out ail night on the case, and
the verdiot was a compromise. Hon.
Thomas M. Norwood of this city defended
Oxendine.
Wright Wells was given a similar sen
tence lor killing Charles Handers last Sep
tember.
Andrew Dean, the jailor who was charged
with killing Shadriok Waltham, known as
King Solomon, was acquitted. Solicitor
General Fraser asked for an involuntary
manslaughter verdict, but the jury re
turned a verdict of not guilty after a short
deliberation.
Nejeh Roberts, who killed Harry Lawson
last month, was found guilty of involun
tary manslaughter, and was 'sentenced to
one year in the penitentiary. Roberts denied
that he had any intention of killing Lawson,
and protested that the shooting was an acci
dent. The jury took the same view of it,
but found him guilty on account of his
carelessness. The sentence is the lightest
that could have been imposed.
Peter Mallard, the negro who held up a
Savannah, Florida and Western train and
attempted to kill Conductor Farria several
mouths ago near Mclntosh, was oonvicted
and sentenced to seven years in the peni
tentiary.
Moses McGillis was sent up for five yean
for burglary, and Sam Tuoker for six
mouths for simple larceny.
Turner Hardee was found guilty of horse
stealing and sentenced to four years. Har
dee created quite a scene in the court room
when bis oase was called. Judge Falligant
asked him if he desired counsel, and
Hardee shouted out at the top of his
voice: “I don’t want counsel; I’ll
defend mys-lf."Judge Falligant ordered him
to shut his mouth, but the man grew more
excited and yelled: “I don’t care if you
are judge. I won’t shut my mouth. I don’t
want counsel.” The sheriff was ordered to
take charge of the prisoner, but when he
started toward him Hardee drew a sharp
pointed stick, and threatened to brain him.
it took the united efforts of four stalwart
men to subdue Hardee, who had to be
chooked into unconsciousness.
Judge Falligant, Solicitor General Fraser
and Hon. William Clifton will leave to-day
for Darien. Mclntosh superior court con
venes there to-morrow. The docket is a
very light one, and everything will be
cleared off by Wednesday or Thursday.

A DAMAGE SUiT DISMISSiD.
Endden Ending' of a Case Against the
Charleston end Savannah hailway.
The case of Toby Hazzard against the
Charleston and Savannah railway for SSOO
damages came to an abrupt termination
yesterday afternoon by a dismissal by the
plaintiff’s attorneys, O’Connor & O’Byrne,
after the largest part of the evidence had
been submitted to the jury.
Hazzard’s house in Houthville, near the
bavannah and Charleston, and Savannah,
r lorida and Western tracks, was destroyed
by fire started from the sparks of the loco
motive of a passing train. Hazzard
thought it was a Charleston and Savannah
train and brought suit against that corpo
ration. All the evidence for the plaintiff
was taken yesterday, and an apparently
good case had been made out. Hon. F. G.
dußignon, counsel for the railway, put up
the engineer and fireman of the Charleston
and Savannah train which was supposed
to have started the fire. Both swore posi
tively that the bouse was burning
when their train passed. This
was backed up by other
evidence, and Mr. O’Byrne immediately
asked the court to dismiss the case under
the circumstances. He said afterward,
however, that the dismissal did not mean
the end. A now suit will be filed against
noth the Savannah, Florida and Western
and Charleston and Savannah, aud then it
W .11 be found which corporation is respon
sible.
The case was being tried by eleven jury
hien. Gustave Kiesling, after balug sworn,
suggested that it woulif probably be illegal
1 r him to try the issues, as he was the
party who had called out the fire depart
ment by telephone to the firo, and conse
'jueutly knew something about it. Judge
Harden ruled t hat he was disqualified, and
counsel ou both aides agreed to continue the
case with the remaining eleven jurymen.

THB PEACH CROP OUTLOOK.
The Usual Talk About a Short Crop.
Advices from the Orcharda.
The peach crop appears to be late this
year. The Savannah fruit handlers have
not heard anything from the peach growers
yet with regard to handling this year’s crop,
which is a pretty good indication that the
crop is late.
By this time usually the commission men
are receiving notices of the shipments of
early peaches. They have no exact infor
mation of the ssze of the crop, but it is
generally believed that it will be a short
one.
One of the largest handlers of domestic
fruit in the city said yesterday that he did
not think there will be over one-quarter of
a crop. The oold snaps in the spring, he
said, certainly did great damage to the
crop. He had been informed by a grower
from TenmlU that the crop will be very
short there, and the same conditions doubt
less exist throughout that whole section.
That is the peach-growing section of Geor
gia, and when the shipments from Marshall
ville, Fort Valley and Tecnille are taken out
the peach crop practically amounts to noth
ing, so far as shipments are concerned.
J ust the opposite from this view of the
crop another commission dealer, a young
man who is pretty well acquainted with
the fruit-growing section of Georgia, said
that he believed there will be a full crop
this year.
"I saw plenty of peaches on the trees
when I was in Atlanta the other day,” he
said, “and I see the trees around Savannah
have a good crop on tnem, and I don’t see
why the peaohes should be killed in the
country between here and Atlanta if they
are not killed at either of these points.”
Another shipper thought there is going to
be a short crop. He had not heard from
the growers at all this year, and in previous
years he usually had peaches for sale by
May 20. He says the crop is ten or fifteen
days late any way.
Another shipper said he had no advices
from the growers, but he would not be sur
prised if there was a full crop. Reports of
short crops, he said, are common every
year, but the peaches usually come in in
quantities, and generally in larger quanti
ties than the shippers oare to handle. Last
year was the only vear for a long time that
the peach orop was a dead failure.
All the fruit and vegetable crops are said
to be from ten to fifteen days late. The
Florida watermelon crop is also late.

connect Italy and Switzerland by another
railway. Improved machinery has been

been 40,000,000 francs.
The deed chronicling the sale of the Chat

Cincinnati Southern for terminal facilities,
and all the property of the road, with its
right of way between Chattanooga and Car
rollton, a distance of 157 miles. The con
sideration, as already stated in the Morn
ing News, is $490,000 of the Savannah and
Western’s first mortgage bonds, guaranteed
by the Central of Georgia. Of this amount
$295,000 has already been paid to the holders
of three-fourths of the stock and income
bonds. The remaining $105,000 of the
bonds is to be paid upon delivery to the
Central of twenty of the income bonds, or
upon delivery of 400 shares of stock. Tne
deed is signed by President Williamson and
Seoretary Brookes,
The Macon stockholders of the Macon
and Savannah Construction Company have
received a circular from New York, the
Macon Telegraph says, the contents of
which indicate that the fate of the Macon
and Atlantio railroad may be speedily de
cided. The Telegraph published the fact
some time ago that the Macon and Savan
nah Cons’ruction Company was trying to
float $1,000,000 of bonds in order to
finish the Macon and Atlantic road.
The plan was that each shareholder
should take ten bonds for each share of the
stock held, at 75 cents on the sl, with a
share of Colleton land stock as a bonus.
Upon that arrangement the New York
stockholders agreed to take $500,000, and
Savannah stockholders promised to take
$300,000 if those in Macon would take the
remaining $200,000. At a meeting of the
Macon stockholders, held shortly after the
plan was proposed, $120,000 of the bonds
were pledged. Later $5,000 more were
taken, but since then the gap of $75,000 has
remained unfilled. Repeated efforts have
been made by a committee appointed for
that purpose to get the remainder of the
bonds floated, but tbeir efforts so far
have been fruitless. The circular letter
above referred to is signed by the Messrs.
Bacher, Strong and the other New York
stockholders of the company. It informs
the Macon stockholders that unless the
Macon and Atlantic bonds are all floated
and the money therefor deposited in the
First National Bank of New York city by
May 25 application will be made in the
courts within th; ee days to have the Macon
aud Atlantic railroad taken out of the hands
of the receiver and sold to pay the indebted
ness. It is believed that the NewYork parties
,who hoU half the stock will buy it in, and
that the company may be reorganized.
The railroads of South Carolina will be
very generally represented at the meeting
of the state board of equalization on June
2, the News and Courier says, when the
representatives of the roads bavo been in
vited to appear and “show cause” why the
assessment on railroad property should not
be increased. The authorities are not yet
positive what course it will be best to pur
sue. The increase of $15,000,000 will neces
sarily fall very heavily on the railroads of
the state, and they will be induced to use
every legitimate means not to have the as
sessment increased. Most of the corpora
tions now think that their lines are suffi
ciently taxed, and, in fact, that proportion
ately they pay more taxes than any other
class of property owners. The legal repre
sentatives will appear before the board on
June 2, and with figures and argument en
deavor to show the members that the
ruilroads cannot stand a further increase in
taxation, and that any addition to the pres
ent assessment In most instances would not
be equitable. The railroad men, while they
know that the laws of neighboring states
are not those of this state, are not inclined
to believe that the administration will show
any marked prejudice to capital coming
here and being invested in railroads, or
show a total disregard to the actions of
other boards of equalization working in the
interests of their respective states. The
laws in Georgia and North Carolina are
essentially the same as those of Bouth Caro
lina regarding the assessment of railroad
property, aDd the officials think that it is
ODly reasonable to pay some regard to the
assessment in those states. The valuation
is now said to be higher in this state than in
the adjoining ones of.such roads at run into
Houth Carolina and Georgia or Mouth Caro
lina and North Carolina, as the oase may
be. The board now proposes to make the
difference about 50 per cent greater. The
-eilroai authorities are curi >us to know in
what manner the board of equalisation has
arrived el the market value of the differ
roads It eene of the roads were to-dey
placed m sale by the board they say that
the prim* brought would not bs anything
like the proposal Mists id value The gen
eral average of the see venue ut of property
serene, ued from sales u said nut tube above
66 per mat, at the real market value of the
property. The ionroad people claim tnat
the intention of the board seems to be to
make their percentage about 165. If a rail
road it not earning mousy i* is not a very
desirable property for investment, and how
tne market value of such a road
is to be derived is another problem.
Railroad Commissioner Jarvey is quoted
as saying that there are about thirty-seven
roads in the state, and that be did not be
lieve over one-third of them made any
money. He thinks an increase in the anes
raent of the railroad property just at this
time would be rather inexpedient.

COKSS REGION STRIKERS.
A Belisf That 10,000 Man Will beat
Work To-morrow.
Scott dale, Pa. , May 3&— Reports indi
cate that 10,000 men will be at work Mon
day morning. It is now probable that the
W. J. Rainey and other independent com
panies who have been paying the old wage*
will force the cheaper Frick sliding scale
on their men. The strike may
yet cause considerable trouble. All dur
ing the contest the operators said
that when the strike was over
they would punish the leaders, and they
seem now to be carrying out their threat.
Yesterday men kept swarming to the offices
for work, but in ovary case where a leader
or active committee man applied tie was re
fused and told there wue no job for him.
A THOUSAND BLACKLISTED.
The indications to-day are that fully
1,000 names of leaders have been placed on
tne black list. Men reported at the labor
headquarters that they have asked for
work at six or seven places and as
often been turned away. For the
past twenty-four hours the leaders have
been disposed to let thn strike go by the
board, which in a measure caused a rash
for work, but thev now declare that the
region mutt sustain them. With such a
great number of delegates Idle the strike
spirit is possible to be revived again in a
few weeks.

PLOT
We propose
to reduce our
entire stock,
and there is
hut one way
that we can
accomplish
it: By mark
ing down every ar
ticle in our mam
moth . establish
ment. After this
is done we leave
the rest entirely
to your own dis
cretion whether
you wish to pur
chase goods at
half price, or let
such chances slip
by. A
We have de
cided on Mon
day, dune Ist, as
the day for the
commencement of
our Grand Sacri
fice Sale.
There will not
be an article in
our whole estab
lishment that will
escape the knife.
Clerks in all de
partments are as
busy as bees mark
ing goods down to
prices that will
astonish the best of
buyers, no mat
ter how close they
have been in the
habit of buying.
This is simply
a brief synopsis of
what we are about
doing.
For the fall par
ticulars don’t fail
to read next Sun
