An! Made Prisoners of Five Darkles
Were Qamlog—Quick Justice.
From Tuesday's Daily Herald.
Sheriff Edwards, Policemen (Raley
and Barron and Bailiff Mann raided a
gambling den within hulling distance of
the business section of the city yesterday
afternoon and made prisoners of five
dusky gamblers, who were very much
surprised at tho interruption, and groat*
ly aggrieved that they should be sus
pected of wrong-doing.
The gambling den was in the old
bridge-hall building on Front street,
and hardly more than seventy-five yards
from tho Flint river bridge. The offl
cers had suspected for some time that
the place was infested by negro gamb<
lers, and tho raid was planned several
days ago. The game was that favorite
of thp darkies known as "skin," and
was in progress in a room on the ground
floor.
The olflcess approached the building
from different directions, and when
they bnrst into the suspected room the
game was at its height. The ocoupauts
made a brave effort to hide all signs of
their illicit operations, but the ottioers
had "dead wood" on them, and all
finally admitted their gmlt. The five
prisoners nabbed were John Jones, Jeff
Davis, Will Washington, Jim BlUiugslea
and William Ford.
They were carried before Justice
deGraffenreid and given a commitment
trial, being bound over to the city court.
Within an hour and a half after being
captured, BlUiugslea was carried before
Judge Hobbs, and entered a plea of
guilty. He was fined #76, including
costs, and was released. The other
d&rkieB are still behind the bars.

It Was Mixed in the Mud bv a Passing Pas
senger Train.
Parties crossing the tracks of tho
Central ot Georgia railway at Jackson
street near the waterworks station yes
terday, probably noticed the remains of
several dozen eggB strewed over the
ground.
Thereby hangs a tale. Sunday night
Mr. Colv’u Fitts, who works for the
Central road out, on tho Extension, came
in ou the 8:20 train. The family home
is in tho southwestern section of the
city, and Mr. Fitts was anxious to leave
the train at Jackson street, rather than
go on to the depot, from which point the
walk to his home would have been sev
eral blocks longer. He had with him a
basket containing several dozen eggs,
fresh fiom form-yards out along the line
of the Extension They had bopn bought
up by the young man during the day,
aud he was bringing them home to his
mother.
When the train passed Jackson street
it was still moving at quite a lively rate,
Mr. Fitts stood on the lower step at the
roar end of the last coach, tho basket of
eggs in one hand and the guard rail
grasped by the other. He hod jumped
from rapidly moving trains many times
before, aud wns not fearful that disas
ter would follow this particular leap.
But alas and alack ! It hart been ruin
ing noarly every day for several weeks,
and there wus a treacherous layer of
oozy mud on the surface of Jacksou
street. More than one unwary pedes
trian had slipped at the railroad cross
ing during the day. At the proper mo
ment, Mr. Fitts swung down from the
stops of the rear coach ahd descended
gracefully to tho ground. But when
his foot lauded, something happened
The earth flew up aud struck the young
man stfuarely amidships, and through
the deep mud he slid like a toboggan,
being urged forward by tho strong im
petus ot the moving train. By actual
measurement made on the following
morning, the unhappy young man’s
trail was three and one-half feet, wide,
fourteen feet long and five inches deep.
Eggs are very treacherous things to
travel with. Mr. Fitt* thinks so—now
Those eggs he was bringing home were
heart hr ikon at the young man's mis-
fortune. Every one of them Smashed
on the instant of his collision with the
unfeeling earth, and with great im
partiality divided their lubricating
qualities between the man and the mud.
Ir was a sad tangle that greeted those
who happened ro be passing by just
at that time. The young man re
ceived assistance from williug h uds
in separating himself from the clinging
mud omelette. Fortunately he was not I
injured, but the egg? could uot be re-
paired. The basket was nnt rt.in ,, j
and the street was smoothed over yes- j
terday morning by Overseer Burton and ]
his force of hands
