Nov. 3.—A ne gro Will Robinson is in til, charged with attempting' assault upon Mr*. it. S. \\ alker , yesterday. Mr. R- S. Walker] lives st 1720 Walton way and works at the Standard Lumber Company; he leaves home early f very morning to go to his work. After he left yesterday morn in" Mrs. Waker went t* an out house in the yard. She was fol lowed there by the negro Rebin son, who pointed a pistol at her bead, commanding her to be silent and made an outrageous pr< ] o 'tils to her. Mrs. Walker was frightened almost into a spasm, but finally persuaded th • man to go away, after giving him a quarter, all the money she had with her. As soon a« he had gone Mrs. Walker gave the alarm and the chief of police was eral (flicerS weie at once sent out to hunt for the scoundrel and the entire force put on the look out. , 'they quickly go' < n his trail, traced him to mwinott street out toward the old toll gate, where he was caught. He was at cnce! carried to headquarters and Mrs. W. .ker was sent for. The chief of police had ttee ' man placed in a room with sev-j a! others, so tbit the lady could point out her assailant. Without the slightest hesitation she pointed to Robinson and said positively she identified him. This identification was made more complete by peculiarity in the negro’s speech, caused by the absence of some of his front teeth and a slight stuttering. The negro was then hustled oft to Jill. In meantime his honse on South Boundary street had been vis:ted by the efficers and it was found that after attempting the assault the scoundrel had hur ried home, changed clothing and laid aside a pistol. When the negro entered the alker house he brought with him a basket which [had been stolen from the pantry’ some time ago with provisions,and the sur mise is that he came to steal more, and finding Mrs. Walker alone, attempted his assault on her. During the night about 500 armed men, including a number °f soldiers in camp here, formed in the ball park several blocks from the jail. About 1 o’cloek they formed in a column of fours a >td march to the jail, in which twenty policemen had been sta tioned, the sur render es the negro, 1 pon being told by Jailer Col lins that the jail would be de fended, one of the attacking party shot at the policemen holding the lantern A general tusilade then followed.

Their regiment is to be attached to the seventh corps, and will go to Cuba with Fitz hugh Lee. This comes direct from Adju tant General Corbin. Gen. Corbin spoke very pleasantly of the Third. He said he realized the hardships the regiment had to contend against in having been kept within a few miles of the place they were recruited, and said he had felt that this transfer was due the officers and men. Incidentally, he said, howev er, that the Second corps, to which the regiment is now as signed. will get t» Cuba practi cally as soon as the Seventh,for it is not the intention of the de partment to keep the troops at tached to that corps long at their southern stations, but to send them on to Cuba among the first that go. It is the plan of tlie president to send as many as fifty thou sand men to Cuba. As soon as the forward movement is begun it will continue without a break, and those regiments attached to either the Seventh or Second corps are sure of getting their feet on Cuban soil just as soon as it is decided practical to move the army there. The officers and men of the Third Georgia are anxious to be attached to the Seventh corps for several rsasons. They be lieve in the first place, that the Seventh will be the first corps to be moved and that those troops will get the first taste of active service in Cuba. Then the transfer will take them at once to Savannah,while their present orders would carry them to Athens, where they will be even nearer home than if they were at Griffin. They want to be with Fitzhugh Lee. Whether this decision will make a difference in the assign ments of the Second Georgia is not yet known, but it is regard ed at the adjutant general’s of fice that either both Georgia regiments will go with Lee’s corps, or that the Second will go to the Second corps under Gen. Law ton, and will see early service in Cuba with that corps. In either event, both Georgia regiments are assured that they will see real service beyond that which goes with camp life, and that they will see this seivice j soon. through the head, and will die, When he fell the attacx was abandoned. None of the police men were injured. The fat *f tb* land served io Selmonicau etyle at the ttomez case, on Second Avenue, next door, to.the Armstrong. _ I GEORGIA, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 3. 1893. CAPTAIN mONR. I Escapid Taking on Flash by Virtue of BREATHING POISONOUS I Vapors Arising From a Cargo •f- Arsenic. Philadelphia, Pa. Nov. 8 The German bark Zion, which arrived .»t this port Sunday (rein Fowey. England, brought a rather peculiar carg©. It consisted of 1,800 cask* of china clay, but in addition there wer» on board 300 cask* of arsenic. Ti is part of the cargo had a remark ible effect on the crew. The fact that arsenic as well m* strychnine helps the formation of adi| ose tisane when taken into the human system in minute particles is well know, and both dings have become favorite tonics for cei.va. lesceut*. On board the Zion the men slept very near the large array of bar rels containing the drug. They were stored in the hold, near the forecastle, and partial y exposed to the lays of the sun, which streamed in through the open hatch. vVben only about a week out from port one of the crew men tionnd to his messmate? that a pe culiar and indescribable od.jf w ceming from th© ca’ka containing the drug. It was not long a ter their attention had barn called i>. it that they ail uoticad the 8«m thing, and strange to aay, netic* u it all the more forcib'y a weak •later, Several of th, German tsrs be came aware of the fact that they were filling out their clothes to a much greater extent than when they shipped. Many others, as days went on, became abnormally stout, is vast contrast to the for mer slim appearance which many of them presented before the land was left. On* man gained, it is said, twenty-five pounds. Others were affected to a less sxtent. But th* aggregate extra wtight put on by the entire crew was little less than 400 pounds. Several of th* sailors are known here and they are said to be scarce ly recognizable when contrasted with the old days. The entire sud den taking »n of avoirdupois is at tributed to vapor, which generated by the action of the sun on the casks' was inhaled by the seamen as they slept, and act*d in precise ly the same manner which it does when given as a tonic in a pre scription. Captain Hamm**. who slept aft in the vessels, entirely re moved from the arsenic, does not show any effect of the inhalation, The Zion, after discharging her cargo, will load oil at Point Breeze for London, when it is supposed the seamen will return to their nermal conditidn, > COST OF THE WAR TO DATE.
