From Monday'. Evening Ilevald.
Col. Ed. L. Wight handed hts resig
nation as a member of the City Coun
oil to Mayor Gilbert, late Saturday af
ternoon.
It seems that not even his most inti
mate friends were apprised of Col;
Wight’s Intention to resign, and the
news of his resignation created gen'
eral surprise.
But the resignation is peremptory
and to take effect at once, and Col
Wight has told all who have approach
ed him on the subject that he will not,
under any consideration, withdraw it.
Here is a copy of the resignation :
Amianv, Ga., Marcli 18, 1893.
lion. W.H. Gilbert, Mayor City of Albany.
Sir—I tender my resignation ns
Councilman of the City of Albany to
take effect at once.
My own business requires my entire
time, and I cannot devote that time
and attention to city matters that is
reqdired. Very respectfully,
Ed. L. Wight.
nr. WILL NOT TALK.
A representntivc of the Hbbald
sought Col. Wight this morning mid
asked if he had any other reason than
that given in his written resignation
for resigning, but the Colonel* was
very guarded in what he said, and wns
not disposed to talk.
But everybody seems to think there
is “a cat in the meal tub,” and various
are the speculations as to the real
cause of Col. Wight's resignation.
From Monday’s Evening Ilorald.
Ofiloera Barron and Coffey had a
lively experience with a burly Negro
wife-beater Saturday night about 10
o’clock.
The two officers were petroling the
north side of Broad street when it was
reported to them that some one was
being murdered in Westbrook’s alley,
Knowing this loeality to be of any
thing but a quiet and orderly charno.
ter, the two officers set out to see what
the trouble was about.
When they neared the alley they
heard a woman crying “Murder!"
Murdert”und yelling lustily for help,
The olllcers quickened their pnee and
were soon at the houBe from whioh the
ories seemed to emanate,
The door of the house was seourely
barred, but by throwing their com
bined weights against it they soon ef
fected an entrance.
Once on the Inside they were con
fronted by Dan Walker, a well-known
Negro about town, who held an up
raised ohnir in his hands with the in
tention of an onslaught. Walker is a
giant in strength and the olfloers knew
that they had a desperate man to deal
with.
“DROP TnAT CHAIR OR l’LL SHOOT.”
As the Negro, half crazed by liquor,
started toward him, Officer Barron, as
quick ns a Hash, threw his pistol in
Dan’s face.
“Drop that chair, Dan, or I’ll shoot,”
said tlie officer,
“I’ll drop nothing,” yelled Dan, as
he advanced, but when he heatd the
oliok of the officer's pistol he thought
butter of it and the chair fell to the
floor.
At this, Officer Coffey sprang for
ward to hand-ouff the Negro, while
Officer Barron still had him covered
with his pistol.
WOMAN-LIKB.
Just at this point, when their game
was almost bagged, Dan’s w'fe, whom
he had nenrly murdered before the
officers arrived, “lit” onto Officer Bar
ron with the fury of a tigress. Dan
saw all this and grappled with Officer
Coffey, and a hot faur-oornered fight
ensued, in whioh Officer Coffey was
being bested at n lively rate. In a few
minutes, however, Officer Barron had
disposed of the womnri hy throwing
her across the room nsalnst the wall,
nnd then went to the assistance of
Officer Coffey. Drawing hisolub, and
waiting fur a chance, lie dealt the
ebnnyhued giant a whack noross the
head that jarred th■* whole building.
That settled the whole thing, and Dan
fell'.to the iloor with a heavy thud. It
did not take the officers lung to see that
the Negro was unconscious nnd that
he might be painfully hurt, and a mes
senger, from among those who had
been'attracted by thO noise, was dis
patched for Dr. P. L. Hilsman.
When the physloian arrived Dan
was still uncooioious, but was soon
brought to his senses. Dr. Hilsman
examined the wounds and thought it
best to let the Negro remain at home,
for fear, that Cold would settle in the
wound and death might result,
ALL RIGHT NOW.
This morning, Dan Is all right, with
the exception of a very sore cranium,
While the lick was a hard one and was
enough to have crushed the ordinary
human skull, the Negro will not lifer" ‘
suffer any serious consequences, as Is
usually the case with his race.
This morning officer Barron pre
ferred oharges against Walker for
wife whipping, disorderly conduct and
resisting arrest, and it is probable that

Camilla Ga. March 17,1893.
Superior Court convenes here next
week. There are several cases of in

trial of a keeper of a “blind tiger,’’and
another is the trial of Mr. A. P. Hil
liard, charged with assisting in a jail
delivery here. There are also one or
two murder cases.
A “good one” is told on one of
Camilla’s prominent society young
men. He. made his first attempt to go
with a visiting young lady, and she
sent him word to wait till nearer the
time to make the engagement; that
she was expecting same young men

The Savannah News of yesterday
publishes the following very spicy
special from Atlanta:
Atlanta, Ga., Maroh 18.—Con
gressman Livingston’s presenoe in tbe
oity to-day for the purpose of straight
ening out the Atlanta postotfioe mud
dle, whioh has already involved the
Georgia congressional delegation In a
boiling stew, wns the cause of great
notlvlty on the part of the politicians
and political gossipers generally.
While muoh of the interest wns cen
tered in the poBtoffice fight and the
hot contest It tins Involved the local
press in, the real sensation of tho day
was the developmentof the fight which
Is on between Congressman Living
ston and Senator Gordon. Reports
from Washington of the trouble be
tween these two have been meager and
indefinite, and so far as Senator Gor
don is oonoerned the Information is
still uncertain. When he returns to
Georgia his aide of the story will be
given. But Congressman Livingston
has taken very little trouble Binco his
arrival Inst night to oover up the true
state of his feelings toward tho sena
tor. Taking his statements to his
frionds here aa a basis of prediction it
does not need a man with a second
sight to see the Stllletto which he
oarrying unsheathed nt his belt ready
fur use upon Senator Gordon at every
favorable opportunity.
HOT IN TnR COLLAR.
Col. Livingston is hot in the oollar
ut Senator Gordon, and while the re
port of ills effort to oreate strife be
tween him nnd Senator Colquitt was
denied by him through a friendly
Washington correspondent, he does
not himself deny that he “has it in”
for Senator Gordon, so to speak, and is
doing everything lie can to thwart
that gentleman. The local postoffiac
fight is due to this feeling of personal
hostility. Col. Livingstoir does not
want Senator Gordon to have anything
to do witli the appointment nnd would
oppose anybody whom he bad in
dorsed. This is shown in the fact that
J. M. Couper, Senator Gordon’s man,
who is attaoked by Col. Livingston, is
indorsed strongly by Mr.Kontz, whom
Col. Livingston is now urging. Mr.
Kontz indorsed Mr. Couper before he
himself was drawn Into tbe race. As
showing the bitterness of Col. Living-
aton’s fight, It Is given out on the best
authority that lie wrote a letter to
Capt. Barry of tills oity, candidate for
marshal, telling hliA that Scnutoi' Gor
don had betrayed him, and wns work
ing for Col. Renfroe, bis opponent.
Capt. Barry carried this letter to the
State Capl al and showed it to Col.
George H. Jones, prinoipai keeper of
the penitentiary,, who is associated
with him in the race for marshal. At
first Col Livingston denied having
written suob a letter, but finally said:
“Well, wbatlf I did write it; it’s true,
and I’ve nothing to take baok.”
CAUSE OF THE FIGHT.
The fight of Col. Livingston upon
Senator Gordon is not likely to end
soon. It is too deep-seated, and is
said to have significant bearing on the
next senatorial race. Col. Living
ston’s animosity to Senator Gordon is
on account of the friendship of the
latter to Gov. Norlhen, whom Co)
Livingston would take delight in
fighting every day in the year. The
Congressman from the Fifth district
Is believed to have senatorial aspira
tions himself and on this ca-
count Is doubly anxious to
throw stumbling blocks in the
way of the Governor. In crippling
Senator Gordon’s Influence he thought
he could hurt the Governor, as it is
understood that the Senator is favora
ble to his candidacy. It is also said
by those who were in Washington at
the.time that the report of Col. LiV'
Ingston’s effort to create bad feeling
between Senators Colquitt and Gordon
was based on facts, and that It was
prompted by a desire to prevent Sena
tor Colquitt giving any aid to Gov.
Northen through Senator Gordon in
case he decides not to offer for re-elec
tion. Col. Livingston will hold a con
ference here on Monday with his ad
visers and business men with a view
to defeating Mr. Couper for postmaster
with bis own candidate without re
sorting to the proposed primary,
which he opposes but would urge as a
last resort.
