There have been desirable Improvements In
this respect. There "a not now so much ma
laiial fever, OF chills and fever, as prevailed
some wears ago, and more perfect ana en-
Gent drainage would be OF stin greater
benefit. He thought a society IKE tnls
could discuss such matters thoroughly anu
harmoniously, and give direction to any
scheme for the improvement OF the public
health. The influence Of the business men
of this community would De

make. or action propose, would
have weight. For that reason he considered
this movement the most important that nao
ever been brought before our people, ana
such an association would be instrumental
in promoting the general welfare. SANITARY
regulations for private dwellings, a very
important matter, would have full consld-
Grafton from such body, and 1t would De
of benefit on this account, to say nothing OF
others. for every good citizen to become
member and contribute to keep 1t up. lie
felt that from the day this association Ell
fected a permanent organization tnere
would be an improvement In the general
sanitary condition Of the city.
At the conclusion of Col. EstilPs remarks
his resolution was put before the meeting
and unanimously adopted.
The chair suggested that the committee

The Case Against y. SOlOmOn-Plea
OfIlsanIsY.

The case of the State VS.. S. Solomon, in
dicted for assault with intent to murder,
was called in the Superior Court yesterday
morning and trial commenced. The de-
Tense was represented by Messrs. P. W..
Meldrim and Emil Newman, and Mr.. j. j..
Abrams was associated with the Solicitor
General in the prosecution. The facls Of
this case have already been given, and
the particulars are generally known.
The assault was made in April last
The defendant, who had some business
connections with Messrs. Solomon Bros,
visited their store. The difficulty occurred
there, the defendant making an attack on
Mr.. Henry Solomons with dirk knife and
cutting him, when he was elected from the
store, and was subsequently arrested on
Magistrates warrant. The defense did not
deny the assault having been made, but In
tTOduced evidence to show that the defen-
dant was first assaulted, and being insane,
was not responsible for his actions at the
time the assault was made. There had
been ill-feeling entertained by defendant
towards the Messrs Solomon on account Of
their business disputes, and some domestic
infelicities, he feeling that he had been
badly treated. Several witnesses were pre-
sented, who stated they believed the de-
PENDANT was insane or "crank." The de-
PENDANT made long rambling statement, CIV
ing detailed history of his troubles, coupled
with some vigorous comments upon the
course Of some OF the parties, whom he be-
lieves to be his enemies, which created a
sensation.
The testimony was closed at two o'clock,
when speeches were made by the Solicitor
General for the State, and Mr.. Emil New
man for the defense.
The court then took a recess until 4
O'Clock p. m, at which time the arguments
were concluded, Mr.. Meldrim closing for the
defense and Mr.. Abrams for the prosecu-
ton. Judge Tompkins then delivered a
comprehensive charge, in which he stated
that If from the evidence and the facts pre-
scented the jury found that the accused was
insane, and was not responsible for his ac-
ton st the time the assault was made, they
would return a verdict of acquittsl. II,
however, they were satisfied that such was
not the case, they could, II the evidence
warranted it, find defendant guilty of as
sault with intent to murder, or assault and
battery, or of stabbing not in his own de-
Tense.
At six o'clock the jury retired to their
room, aud up to II o'clock had not agreed
upon a verdict.

SIZE DID AZ WITH HER LITTLE
RATCHET.
A Domestic ImbT sIiO-Afsr War
nawna Peace.

Last night, about Quarter-past eight
o'clock. tie neighb0rhOOd Of s.. Gsul
street was throEE into a tumult OF excite
meat By a runpus between q eOlOred indi-
rldual, Augustus Ll0Fd, and his wife, which
was too utterly utter, so to speak. The
affair collected quite a crowd, as the quar-
rel vas lively and vigorous. The woman,
Who. 90 seems, Is a high-strung creature
gifted with cranky TEMPER, and, acting uu-
der q vicious inspiration, she seized her little
hafchet and went for Augustus in
q maauer neither child-like nor bland.
Ia FAC. she swung that Ratchet around 10
the most vigorous ssyls, aud heWed 10 the
riCat a1d let, utterly regardless Of the con-
Eequences, and Inflicted an usiy wound on
the lett arm cf Ter Augustus, and also scarf
Gel him on the leg, face and head. The
parties were separated before the gentle fe-
male hai time TO furnish the Coroner
with a lob, and Augustus fastened 70 the
CITY Dsspenssrv, where his injuries were
dressed by D.. ]. B. Chisholm. He was &C
compsriei BY his wife, and, after the re-
pairs were made, the couple were WaitZed

fnfu aries INF ctei are nos serious, and
Augustus viii probably be able TO appear In
the Police Court this morning.

TIE "PINK EYE"
The Disease Spreading - Several
Fatal Cases.

It seems that the "pink eye" the new
equine disease which has been prevailing
IA Northern cities, has almost become cpl
demic IN this city, and may prove as serious
In it's effects as the "epizooty" several
years ago.
We learn that It is playing havoc now with
the stock OF the Savannah, Skidawsy and
seabOard Railroad. Out OF thirty odd horses
sud mules there are only fourteen tt for
service, and even these, In the equine YER
nscular, have the appearance OF being
"lcgy."
Yesterday Superintendent Thomas had to
discontinue cars altogether on the Aber-
corn line. 1t Is likely, however, that he
may be able TO resume work to-day, having
succeeded late last evening in hiring four
mule teams. Since the disease made Its
appearance smOag the stock two have died
from the effects and there are now three or
four very sicK.
WHY the disease is so named, we have not
seen stated, but 1t may be called ''pink eye"
for want of a better name. We
are Informed that 1t attacks ami
mails very suddenly, causing extreme
ur0stratiOn, high fever, great swelling
Of the limbs, particularly the hind legs.
When so affected the animal refuses to ea',
and in extreme cases breathes with great
difficulty, and evidently suffers acute pain,
causing him to groan like q human
beng. Their condition is such that
II is cruelty to attempt TO work
thrm, and heaee humanity as well as
personal interest demands that the animals
be given rest, any exertion under such cir
cumslances being Inevitably followed by
al results. The disease, however, is of
short duration, only lasting five or six Gays,
and il the horse Is not left too PROSTATE
fr N it's effects he may then be put to work
with safety. Young animals stand 1t very
well, but when an sged animal is struck
with the disease, his days may be said to be
numbered, though a few recover from 1t.
We learn that veterinary surgeons here
are lot agreed exactly SIS to what
the disease Is or how TO treat II, though its
fleets are very similar TO the epizootic.
We have not heard Of the horses on the
other liz Is being similarly affected by 1t.
though It hss invaded some of our livery
stables aud there are a number Of private
horses affected By it. 1t is to be hoped
that the disease will be checked among the
stock of the Whitaker and Abercorn street
lines and that there will be no serious or
Continued interruption to the travel.

Handsome Furniture for the HOII-
days.

In this practical age those who wish to
commemorate the holidays are on the look
out for something useful to purchase as a
substantial testimonial to their loved ones,
who know that they are remembered, and
nothing could be better for this purpose
than a handsome set of parlor or bedroom
furniture, q comfortable rocker. or any OF
the many articles which now comprise the
stock of modern furniture house. Then a
new carpet or curtains, or both,
will prove a p' actical token of affec-
ton, and at the same time, If
the donor be the head Of the family, he can
also enjoy the comforts which his gift may
bring TO the hou.ehold. II this be the
method in which our citizens propose to
celebrate the holidays, they should visit
Messrs. Allen & Lindsay, 1863 and III
Broughton street, where they will find the
largest stock of furniture and carpets ever
seen in Southern house.-Ad0.
