What came near being a sanguinary race riot occurred in Tybee yesterday morning over the arest of a negro by Policeman John Davis. The negro was durnk and acting disor derly when Policeman Davis placed him under, arrest. The negro restated, but Policeman Davis was the better man of the two and was taking him along to the station when a mob numbering fully fifty negroes, most of whom were drunk, gath ered and began threatening the police man, but a braver or more determined man than John Davis never wore a uni form, and he held to his prisoner. The negroes then swarmed around him, und before ho could pull his pistol or even use his club they pounced upon him, and al though he fought bravely and struggled tho best he oould, ho was soon overpow ered and the prisoner taken sway. The negroes then drew their pistols and threat ened to kill the policeman if he attempted to arrest one of them. Knowing the des perate character of the negroes of that locality and that he would stand no chance whatever of his life against such overwhelming odds. Policeman Davis communicated with police headquarters as soon as possible and asked for assist ance. Chief Butner at once Mspatched a squad of police to the scene, each armed with a Winchester rifle, besides pistols and clubs. Tho squad procured hacks and In a few minutes arrived on tho sceno. By this time several hundred ne groes. many of them armed with rifles, shotguns and pistols, had collected and were threatening to kill the first white man who approached them. The squad of police, however. Was composed of men who do not flinch nt tho muzzle of a gun, oven when the gun Is. In tho hands of a desperate negro, nor did they fear the largo number, but charged on Orem with drawn rifles, ready to fire If It became necessary. Seeing tho determined manner of the police, tho negroes soon besan to scamper away, nnd as tho police had no desire to shed blood unless it becamq, necessary, all but nine of‘them escaped. The nine were quickly surrounded and their arms taken from them. .They submitted to ar rest quietly, knowing that further resist- un<’t* would u» u.wrlfHH, nnd wore toon on their way to tho police station, where they were locked up and the charges of rioting nnd carrying concealed weapons placed against them. The .police nre confident Unit had Po liceman Davis drawn his pistol whllo sur rounded by tho infuriated mob he would have been shot and clubbed to pieces, and lmd tho squad not gone heavily armed with the long range rifles the negroes would have fired on them. But tho Win chesters Intimidated and frightened them anil they knew that their only means of avoiding arrest was In flight. They will have n hearing beforo Recorder Freeman this morning. ACCIDENTALLY SHOT. A Negfo Boy's Costly Look Donvn a Rlflo Barrel. A 12-ycar-old n?gro boy who works for Mr. Louis Burghurd. was acciden tally shot yesterday noraiog by the 7-ycar*old son of Mr. Henry Spoor. The ’accident was du* to the same oki cauec—tho email boy’s curtoahy to gaze down the barrel of A loaded gun, and may cost the victim his life. Yung Speer wt\B walking nlon-g th» street with ht* air gun thrown ov.tr his shoulder when the negro* who knew Speer well, playfuWy rau up behind and grasping the gun by the muzzle, looked down Ulio barrel “Just to nee if he oould s’O the ball"—ho afterwurds Ka'd, The youthful owner of the cud was at the time figuring with tlie trig ger. and us that 111 luck that haums small boys In Christmas time would have it, the gun waa discharged. Th> dlselwirge of the gun wns Just In time for the ball to take ‘the negro above the right eye, and witli a shriek of pain ho Muggoivd back uud almost fell upon -the tddewtllk. As soon «s possible Dr. Stapler was summoned to the relief of the wound- ed boy and found (tut the ball had entered just above the right eye and penetrating the head, had lodged at tll> bau of the brain. He bad nothestt-jney in pronouncing the wound n probably fatal one. though he thinks that If .the bay’s condition thus morning will al low him to r-tnnv the eye bn Ik'the bullet may be extracted nnd his life yet saved. «. Then' seems to ho no posalbV* ground for charge of Intentional shooting, ns the negro himself Riid he had Liot spoken to or had anything to do with the white boy before ho run up to Ills Vac* nnd begun (Sx>ling with the gun.

Hardeman, one of the best known yvning men dn tlie city, was confined in tlie city prison last night with tit* serious charge bf arson hang ing over him. • ’The charge against young Hardemuii was preferred by Frank H. Powers, the old book store man and deafer In fireworks, and who claims that lie has strongs evidence against The young man. •People Iti the vicinity of - Cherry street, between Cotton avenue and Finn street, were startled at the heavy d\>- cha-rge of fireworks in Iron of Powers' store lu -the Guernsey tfrctic at 0:30 o’cflock last evening, and during the re peated explosions to hi?ar cries of fire and police. People who looked in the direction of the erica and nods?i3 wi-*re greeted" with one of the grandest pyro technic dtepluys evitt* aeon in tills city, tne Last Days of Pompeit not excepted, and tlrosc who ran to the scene found Powers arid Hardeman struggXng on the ground. Powers’ cries reached the ears of the firemen ut the engine house near by, and also attracted the po lice, and In a few moments engln* com pany Nn, 2 and several police officers were hurrying to the seen*. The fire men did a(V. they could to ntop the blaz ing firework* and the police took young Hardeman from Powers, who told them that he had set fire to his fireworks. Hard*emun waa carried to police Head quarters and locked up, nnd lat-r Pow- *rs" went before Justice Brown and had a warrant issued, charging hum with ar son.

Hard«?t man ritlll held the Roman candle uud oaime near shboting the lady cu-o omer in Che face w?th It. He grabbed Harde man as he dttcead to run atway, o.nd fhey fell on the sidewalk among the blazing candles and rockets, which by this -rime were shooting In every dirro- tlon and causing the people tb scat ter. His cwt> Oally clerks tod presence ■of mind e.nL-mgh to close tfho store door, and tfra they ran screaming to th^ Be had between $300 and $400 worth of fireworks on Che sidewalk and j nearly all of iCbe s’oek beciime Ignited.
