A sANGUINARY o0LORED WAR
RIOR.
He Attempts TO Carve an Aged Dar-
key and a Woman with n Razor
Flights n Constable and Creates a
Lively RumpuG.

Yesterday afternoon about O'Clock
colored trooper named Jesse Williams, alias
Dixon, who recently brutality assaulted his
old stepfather at his house, on the Ogeechee
road, turned himself loose, as 1t were, in
Cooper Shop lane, and had the entire
neighborhood in q perfect furore. A
colored woman had the temerity
to excite his ire, when he drew
q razor and made a savage lunge
at her. The woman fed, pursued by Will
lians, and took refuge in the house Of q
colored citizen named Cuffee Bacon, aged
about seventy years. Williams assaulted
Bacon, and cut him with his razor. The
old man defended his place manfully,
however, and Williams ran of to get shot
gun, threatening to kill Bacon II he per-
sisted in his protection of the woman.
When he left the old man slipped off
through the rear door, and fastening
to the Office Of Magistrate Waripg
Russell, Dr., had a warrant issued against
Williams, who, It Is stated, is VIGOROUSLY
bad character, and chum Of Beauregard
Mack, who was lately sent to the peniten-
tiArY, charging him with assault with intent
to murder. The warrant was placed in the
hands of Constable Wetherhorn, who pro-
ceeded to Cooper Shop lane, and succeeded
In arresting Williams, who was bossing the
locality. With his prisoner in tow officer
Wetherhorn started to the Magistrates
Office, followed by large crowd, including
many women. In bringing him down Bryan
street, Williams broke loose from the officer,
and, picking up a heavy rock, hurled 1t at
Constable Wetherhorn, narrowly missing
small boy who was on the sidewalk. He
was again secured and carried to the office,
when Magistrate Russell committed him
to jail. Constable Wetherhorn carried
him to the corner of Bryan and Whitaker
streets. for the purpose OF taking the street
cars for the Jail. While standing there
Williams became very abusive, aud showed
a decided inclination to fight, and lively
tussle followed. He tore the officers coat
nearly OF him, and acted in very saw
age manner, when officer Wetherhorn
proceeded to return the compliments In
vigorous style, and finally knocked the fell
low down, when the crowd OF negro women
assembled set up fearful howl, and began
to use their tongues freely. The rumpus
created very lively excitement, and peo-
pie came running from every direction to
ascertain the cause. The struggle between
the negro, who is a powerful fellow and
desperately wicked, and the officer, was
very severe, but he was eventually over
come aud carried out to the jail, and 1t is
very likely, under the circumstances, he
will be sent to join Beauregard Mack In the
mines up the country. The affair attracted
q large crowd on Bryan and Whitaker
streets, giving the impression Of general
riot.

Great Reduc.Ion-Good News.

The well known Congress street milliner,
Mr.. H. G. Houston, has determined on
another reduction in the prices of the ele-
CANT array of goods now in his establish
ment. The articles are all seasonable, of
the most fashionable styles and novelties.
but it is necessary, in consequence of other
arrangements for more eligible quarters,
that he clear out the present line of goods,
hence the reduction. Ladies' who need
anything in his line will do well to call
without delay and inspect his stock,
as the throngs Of fair ones that
constantly fill his attractive establishment
give evidence that his course is appreciated
and that there will be few bargains LETT. 1t
is unnecessary to enumerate the articles; we
can only advise our lady friends to call and
see for themselves. This Is no announce
ment for buncembe, as visitors will find out
by calling, and, therefore, If you are dis
posed to make good bargains, remember
Houston, on Congress street. je27-tf

A New schooner for the Rice Trade.

A very neat schooner, specially designed
for the rice trade along the coast, is now in
course of construction across the river for
Mr.. W. D. Oliveira. Her dimensions are
forty-seven feet oyer all, forty feet keel,
sixteen feet beam, five feet hold, and five
feet amidships, and five and half feet
forward and aft. The keel Is made Of
solid log, 12x12, tapering at the end to five
inches. The centre board will be cut
through the centre Of the keel, so that in
case of al accident it can be gotten at with
out any trouble, and making it unnecessary
to haul her up. The timbers are AKA
double, and of solid live oak aud cedar, the
.ge pieces three inches thick, and twelve
inches wide, and extend the whole length
of the vessl fore and aft.
She will have two masts fftY-one feet in
length, and will carry about seven hundred
Yards of canvass The schooner is con-
structed so that she draws very little wster,
and can run up to the mills and have her
cargo put on board quickly, saving the
trouble and expense Of bringing it down to
her In flats. Her capacity will be about
$500 bushels, and she will be completed
about the LIST of August, at q cost Of 81 800.

That DraytOn street slip Again.

Editor Morning Ne,Os In your issue of the
2S.h inst. IA Citizen" calls attention to
some legal objections to the filling up of
part of this slip. do not think the law was
intended to apply to such 'fllling up" as
was suggested In the case Of the south end
of Drayton street slip. The open space, up
to line of the bridge, cannot be used for any
practical purpose as it stands, whereas, If
filed up, it will be Of great benefit to the
public, as It would add that amount of
additional surface 70 Bay street, at point
where 1t is much needed, on account OF the
conveyance of the heads Of the Bull and
Abercorn street slips. IL the sailing up"
In anywise interfered with the present free
access to the wharf foot of Drayton street,
or to the alleys on the east and west of the
same, think the law should be invoked to
prevent It; but when no injury to any vested
or other interests results, and the public are
assured Of some benefits, do not think any
legal trouble Is likely to result, should
Council have the space filed up. / should
have serious objections to using the space
referred to for the erection Of q building OF
any description whatsoever.

EXAMINATION.
A PLEASANT OCCASION.

A PLEASANT OCCASION.
The young ladies Of class, who at the
next session, having so successfully passed
their examination, will be promoted to b
Glass, arranged pleasant surprise for their
teacher, principal and Superintendent and
few friends, in observance of custom in
augurated by them on entering the High
School, and when they started out as d
class. After the "breaking up" and books
were gathered and put aside, the young
ladies assembled in one of the vacant rooms,
and in a short time had beautifully
spread table provided, and their
invitations issued. The good things, such
as sherbert, creams, cakes, fruit, eubstan-
tials, etc., were discussed with zest by those
who were favored with remembrance. There
was an abundance, and the substantials and
luxuries were the more keenly enjoyed
when served at the hands of the fair com
mittee, who were unremitting in attention
to their guests. It was a fine feast, and its
pleasures were enhanced by the bright,
happy and intelligent faces OF the young
ladies comprising class G, and who
proved themselves such charming
hosts. We have rarely enjoyed q more
pleasant half hour, and were glad to G that
the young ladies, encouraged by the
delightful success attending their reunion
last year, had determined to continue
their annual gatherings; and with the kind
est wishes that they may pass an enjoyable
vacation, and that their next scholastic term
may prove as brilliant and as creditable as
the one that has just closed, we trust when
the session of 1882 closes we may B with
them again on as pleasant an occasion as
that of yesterday.

Atlanta Post appeal: Judging from the
eight-column report of the public school
exercises in Savannah, which appeared in
the MoRSING News of Saturday, that city
may well claim to rival Any city In
the South In the character and sue
cess OF her public school system. 1t is also
gratifying to notice that her Leading citizens
take an active and unselfsh interest In the
prosperity Of her various educational tnstt-
buttons, and thereby elevate their character
and advance their means of usefulness"

serious difficulty occurred between a color
ed man named Scott and another whose
name we were unable to ascertain, living
on the Woodlawn tract about mile and
half from the city. The origin of the diff
Guilty is not known. Scott was shot in
the thigh with a number two cart
ridge and was very severely wounded.
He came to the city early yesterday morn
ing and proceeded to the Office of DIR. 7. B.
Chisholm, to have his wound dressed. DIR.
Chisholm probed for the ball, but was una
BILE to find it. The necessary attention was
given the wound, which the physician
considers very severe but not necessarily
dangerous. Scott was very reticent con-
corning the affair, and declined to give the
name of the man who shot him or any Of
the particulars Of the difficulty.

Wife ReaterInLI Limbo.

Last evening, about quarter past seven
O'Clock, the neighborhood of Lumber street
was startled by the shrieks of q female from
one Of the houses in the vicinity. Investi-
cation showed that Peter Erwin, a cOlored
warrior, who was unduly excited by the
heat, was letting of his supsrauous steam,
as it were, by walloping his wife. He was
very boisterOus in this fsvoTite amusement,
and Policeman Langbell captured him and
walled him of TO the bastile on South
Broad street, where he lodged for the night.
Peter will receive the proper consideration
at the Police Court matinee to-day.
