jailor Pace has been uery watebful of
the prisoners’ comfort and keeps the
cells as clean as Is possible under the
existing clrcumstanoes.
It U certainly a blessing to the crimi
nal class that the present Inadequate
quarters will ere long be abandoned for
apartments In the new jail.
A Times Becorder scribe, in a tour of
inspection through tho jail, was im
pressed by the laok of sufficient accom
modation, as many as eight prisoners
were crowded together Into one cell.
The first eel! was occupied by Alice
Mann and Minnie Wells, two dark town
belles, who are held to answer the charge
of stealing a watch.
"Did you steal the Iwatch?” ventured
the reporter; and back came the invaria
ble rejoinder, “I ’clar’ 'tore God, I dunno
miffing 'bout it.”
John Jackson, a mulatto, occupies
cell No. 2, in company with Bill Butler
and Bailey Daniel, all charged with mur
der.
Jackson was convioted twice for the
murder of Bee Brown, a white man, in
Wilcox county.
He Is a thick, compactly built negro,
with a bright yellow complexion and
rather an intelligent face. Jackson’s
prospects for promoting the hemp man
ufacture are not clouded. When asked
about his guilt, he said that he killed
Brown in self defense and that he was as
innocent as a new born babe.
Bill Butler and Bailey Daniel are
charged with the murder of Seaborn
Jones and Damp Swain, both colored.
Bussell Westbrooks occupies a cell
with seven kindred spirits. He. is
charged with arson.
He says that he doesn't even know
what he is wanted for, unless it is that
some negro was paid #11 to swear that
he said he burnt a bouse. Facts are
stubborn things, and like Banquo’s
ghost, you can’t down them, and such
doubtless Wostkrooks will find before
he clears his skirts of all blame.
Rufus Walker olaims that he was play
ing with a friend and struck him in fun.
This frolicsome blow may give him a
nice new suit of clothes, striped black
and white, furnished by the state.
Bill Martin, an ebon gentleman, is a
minister by profession, a burglar by oc
cupation and a jail bird by necessity.
He Is now awaiting trial on the charge
of larceny.
Penn Federlok, unlike his illustrious
Quaker name-sake, Is not a man of peace,
but carried an arsenal on his person.
The unknown quantity in this equation
is the jail.
Mose Smith is docketed for burglary.
Mose is an emotional creature and
could hardly suppress bis briny tears as
he told the story of his woes. He claims
that be is “not so tough as he used to
be," whleh statement is not borne out
by his external

him. His present condition points the
moral of the above.
Charles Sterling may have many ster
ling qualities, but he runs on the quali

will answer the charge of assault and
battery.
"DBtnne AGAIN."
A Cartons Episode That Happened Oar
j Streets Yesterday.
Yesterday morning an inebriated dis
ciple of Bacchus, a stranger In Amort
cus, halted In front of a certain residence
not a thousand miles from * the court
house in Americas,' and leaning against
the gate post, tried to remember where
he was. While he was engrossed In the
pleasant occupation of taking hla bear
ings, a deep sepulchral voice said,“break
away.” The etranger looked around In
dignantly, bnt all that he could see was
a cynical looking parrot, attired in a
green dress oost with yellow trimmings.
He gazed at it a second, but the par
rot never smiled, and finally be turned
to »>. Then he heard a voice saying in
high falsetto, “Good-bye.” He stopped
and looked reproachfully toward the
cage, only to be greeted with a burst of
uproarious laughter, and an abrupt
“Drunk again!”
The stranger pulled his slonohhat full
over his eyes and started in a dog trot
towards the depot, muttering, “Blamed
if I don’t shake this consumed town.
Why, even the parrots belong to. the
temperance society, and insult a man
just because he’s been trying to cure the
cramp colic.”

Yesterday was a busy one in court cir
clet and work was dispatched with ce
lerity.
No cases of very great importance
were on the calendar, though there wero
several lively legal tilts over damage
oases. The following cases were dis
posed of:
Simmons A Kimbrough vs. Mack
Morris and Mack Morris, claimant; fi fa.
levy and claim.
Fred Lee vs. Ellen Lee; divorce.

Ward Christian Is looked np for throw
ing dice.
The reporter suggested to him that ho
was unworthy his list name.
"Boss, He tell you do canto. Iso play
ing dice, hot I dunno dat I played sc.
cording to Hoyle.” And judging from
his prospects he standi a good chance of
learning all tho intricaoiea of “playing
according to Hoyle.”

Milton Nobles.
MUton Nobles’ early professional
training waa in the weaL In 1868, then
a more lad, he was a member of a little
band of strolling Thespians playing In
the mining camps of Colorado 'Nevada
and California. There are scenes, inci
dents and character studies in his play
From Sire to Son” indicating unmis
takably that even at that early period he
was s close rtudentof men.
In I860 Mr. Nobles had a serious Ill
ness at Virginia City, Xev. The young
.Actor waa destitute bnt not friendless. A
gsmbler named Morgan, a perfect typo
of Bret Barte’s John Oakburpp, treated
him with great klndneas, taking him
from his boarding house to his own
handsomely furnished rooms, and nurs
ing him like a brother. 'Morgan . was a
handsome fellow of about 33, tall, grace
ful and polished. He was a son of a
New England clergyman and a Harvard
graduate. He was a great reader, a re
cluseontoi “business” honrs, and
woman hater. Morgan was an assumed

tained bis affeotlon for the player whose
life he probably saved, and whenever
Mr, Nobles visits the coast he is royally
weloomed by a choloe circle of congenial
spirits In one of the moat elegant anltes
of bachelor apartmenta in tho world. In
hla gambling days Morgan was Immacu

Nobles wears s counterpart of tbe salt

A Tikes-Recorder reporter edged
bis way through an Immense throng of
customers yesterday in tbs dry goods
emporium of Wheatley A Ansley. He
was amazed at the endlesaamyof beau
tiful fabrics carried In stock by this en
terprising firm; an array that would not
bo deemed ont of place in a leading New
York dry goods house. And the prices
—so reasonable that it defies competi
tion. The people in Amertcus appre
ciate the enterprise shown by Messrs.

their superb goods, and the splendid
patronage they give this firm is no un

remarkable fact, when the advanced
seaion is considered.
All the saloons in Americas were
closed yesterday in pursuance with an
ordinance so ordering. They will be,
however, In full blast to-day.
The “Conversazione party” last even
ing, tendered by Miss Alice Wheatley,
complimentary to her friend, Miss Staf
ford, waa a brilliant success.

pioneer to arrange a contest?
The reception tendered by Mrs. H. C.

was an enjoyable social event, as those
who were so fortunate as to be. invited
will testify.

The Italian fruit vender who keepahis
stand on Jaokson street, was indieted by
the grand jury yesterday and put under
$100 bond for selling fruits, etc., on
Sunday, which is a direct violation of a
state law.,
The receipts of the A L' I fair will

thanks to the ladies for their liberal en
couragement and assistance, and they
feel deeply lndebted for these services,
so unstintedly rendered, the remain

the appropriateness of the Thanksgiving season, and
Whereas, While the immutable laws of Supply & De

Whereas, While the Protectionists of the classes have
increased the duty on tin oyer 120 per cent., we the Protectors
of the masses, have lowered the tariff you have been used to
on tin, and, while ye Custom House officials proclaim Suty
increased $2.2p on tin for (comes the echo) “Sweeping reduc

Whereas, While with these grey and sombre mornings
comes the winters winds, the .biting frosts and shivering
shakes, ’till one’s frozen mind almost congeals, and icy
thoughts displace warm regards; still then there is provided
for you all a line of stoves and heaters, whose brightness and
warmth will dispel the dreariest chills of existence and per
vade your being with a warm thankfulness as will echo back
compliments of the season to Artesian Corner Stores, and
Whereas, We have proclaimed the appropriateness of
