EXCITING PIG CHAsL.
A Grunter Swims ana e.SU inns the

Before he 10 Killed.

An exciting chase between a man
and q pig took place Saturday morn.
ing which resulted for awhile in freeing
a maI and at last in the death Of the
grunter. A car lead of western pigs ar
rived Saturday morning, for Hart h
Bro, pork butchers. While unload
ing at the freight depot a chunk of a
porker, weighing about l75 pounds,
broke away from the drove and struck
out down the railroad towards the
bridge over the Brandywiue, Some
men followed the porker and when at
the bridge the pig, without risking its
life By attempting to C c-oss, plunged into
the water at the western side, aud one
of its pursuers jumped after it. Piggy
escaped to the other side, and reSwam
the creek twice afterwards. 1t then
struck boldly dp the eastern side OF the
creek with a crowd yelling after it
soaring it into faster run. Above
Eleventh street bridge it struck from
the bank towards an island in tn,
creek, but two of its pursuers follow
ing, when the pig thinking no doubt
that 1t had them now turned upon them
and became the aggressor. One OF the
men was chased back to the emDank-
ment while the other named Wheit-
kup was glad to find place OF safety
amongst the branches OF . friendly will

heart came with rifle and another

flank movement was planned aud the
attacking party rowed up tho creek in

A Senatorial Orator.

Ex-senator Conkling seldom made O
correction of his utterances In the Sen
ate Chamber. He Is perhaps the best
extemporaneous speaker in the United
States, and even his remarks in rum
ming debate are splendid indices of
great ability. During the extra session
Of the Forty sixth Congress he deliver
ed speech upon the Army Appropria-
tion bill without note, papers, books or
references of any kind. When the
Vice. President announced "The Sena-
tor from New York." up rose the state
ly form of Roscoe Conkling. Never be-
fore or since had q Senator such an
immense audience. He spoke for 70 lr
hours. Before the adjournment OF the
S,nate 100000 copies Of his speech had
been subscribed for. Every printing
establishment in Washington sent to
the Senator It's lowest estimate. In a
very short time, Oyster, ons Of the best
living typos. and foreman of the Con-
gressional Globe, had the proof of the
great speech ready. He took 1t up to
Wormley's about O'Clock in the morn
ing and asked for Senator Conkling.
"lle is not up yet," said the private
secretary "tho Senator breakfasts at
about II ; however, as you are in a
hurry and want to see after the speech,
| shall call him. "Tell Mr.. Oyster to
come in-ah how do you do, Mr.. Oys-
ter?" and Lord Chesterfield was never
more polite than was Mr.. Conkling in
his night shirt. After rubbing his
eyes he looked at the proof, made few
changes, and struck out the "Hon" be-
fore "Roscoe Conkling.' You will
never find it prcfxcd to his name in
any speech intended for general distri-
button. After he received the speech
he wrote his thanks very kindly to
Foreman Oyster, 40 follows:

The announcement of the death OF Mr..
George D. Baker, which occurred yesterday
morning about half-past ten O'Clock IN this
city, after a slight indisposition of few
days, excited deep regret among his many
acquaintance, and was great
shock to them. Several days sin1a he was
afflicted with a cold. which settled in his
throat, but was not considered very serious,
although he was confined to his room.
Inflammation OF the brain ensued, however,
and death resulted, as stated, yesterday
morning. Mr.. Baker was a native of Fay
etteVille, n. c., and came to Savannah
about three years ago and established the
firm of GID. Baker & Co., manufactur-
ers of turpentine stills, and was doing a
fourishing business. He was enterprising,
energetic and industrious, and had many
friends here. He was only twenty
three years of age, but had developed bust
ness capacity rather remaI kable in one so
young. His remains were sent to his home
by the Charleston and Savannah Railway
train yesterday afternoon.

In yesterdays MORNING NEWS mention
was made of very serious riot on Bryan
street In the vicinity Of the Market Tuesday
evening, in which some seventeen negroes
were engaged, and four were arrested. Yester-
day morning these negroes, who had been
lodged in the barracks for safe keeping, were
turned over on warrantissued bYMagistrate
Naughtin, and were committed to jail. It
appears that Magistrate Naughtin had issued
a warrant against Albert James Goats, ON the
charge Of carrying concealed weapons, and
discovering his man in the barroom of
coIored man named Brown, he called upon
Constable Folllard, who. CHANGED to be In
the vicinity, to assist him in making the
arrest. Magistrate Naughtin was known to
Goats, and he was apprehensive that he
would be recognized and that Coats would
escape IL he saw him. So Constable Fol.
lard was requested to enter the place and
capture Coats who IS q West India negro,
powerfully strong and regular desperate.
He was standing at the bar when Constable
Folliard approached and laid his hand
upon him. Coats spoke in a very abusive
manner, and struck Folliard fearful blow
in the face. A fierce struggle ensued. Con-
stable Folliard, however, hung on to the
rascal. and after rough and tumble fight,
succeeded In dragging him to the door,
when Magistrate Naughtin seized him and
struck him over the head. The fellow
tumbled to the sidewalk, feigning insensi-
bility for few minutes, when a crowd of
negroes gathered from various directions
and surrounded the officers. Suddenly,
Coats sprang to his feet, dealt Constable
Folliard blow in the face and made a dash
for the barroom. The officers attempted to
follow, when the negroes INSTRUCTED their
passage and another row followed. In the
meantime Coats managed to escape. Three
of the other negroes, Vance, Smith and
Moore, were arrested and carried to the bar
racks. About nine o'clock Constable Sim
mons, colored, who ls attached to Magis-
trate Naugntin's office, encountered Coats
in Yamacraw, and attempted to arrest him.
Constable Endres was passing on the street
at the time when Constable Simmons called
on him for assistance. Coats was still In a
warlike mood, and was very defiant and
abusive, fighting with savage ferocity and
using the foulest language. In the melee
he succeeded In biting Endres on the
hand as was stated. Fortunately Sergt.
Harvey, OF the police force, came up
about this time and through
his efforts the desperate was secured, and
after extreme officially, resisting the entire
way, was landed in the barracks. Yester-
day morning Coats was arraigned In the
Police Court on the charge of disorderly
conduct In the streets, and was fined $40 or
thirty days. He will also have to answer
the other charge before the Superior Cour6.
