GEORGETOWN AFFAIRS.


Isaac Barker, colored, in company with
his wife and small child, went out on the
river yesterday to witness the regatta. He
supplied himself with a. key of
beer, intending to have first
class picnic on the billowy deep.
Isaac is represented by those who know
him we'll to be n good, quiet, industrious
citizen when sober, but yesterday the beer
got the better of him, and imagining his
better half an enemy he proceeded to beat
her in q fearful manner. The screams of
the woman and the child attracted the
attention of some of the Potomac crew
who went to their assistance and COM
PEELED Isaac to desist When the Potomac
boys came to the relief of the woman, Isaac
became furious, and, raising his oar, went
for the boys. He was soon overcome
by numbers, however, and was after
difficulty landed on shore He was
then taken to the station-house and
locked up. Mrs. Barker this morning
looked very much like u vanquished prize

and her face cut in many places.
Isaac was this morning taken before
Judge Snell who gave him benefit to the
extent of 60 days in jail.

and sent to the hospital, from which he
has just been discharged Yesterday
morning Thompson proceeded to his
uncle's store at z o'clock on an
Grand. Mr. Hilton, after short CONVEX
sation with Thompson, took off his coat and
vest and hung them up, aud went into his
workshop in the rear of the store, leaving
his nephew alone. When Hilton returned
to the store Thompson had left, and on 60
ing to where his vest was hanging he found
that gold watch and about 800 in money
had disappeared.
Hearing that the police were looking for
him, Thompson went to Swindell's station
in Georgetown and gave himself up, protest.
ing that he had not seen the money or
watch, but would sooner give himself up
than be arrested. He was taken to Po-
lice Headquarters and locked up.

Tho Theatre.

Miss Ada Gray closed her engagement
here Saturday with two performance
matinee aud evening. At the former the
thrilling play from Miss Braddon's novel,
''Lady AudleY's Secret" was presented to
very large audience, and In the evening
"Article An was given. Mics Gray's con-
ception of the character Of "Lady Audley''
we think is faulty, though in some parts she
was very creditable. Her personatioD, how.
ever, to our mind, does not compare with
that Of Mrs. Bowers, whom our theatre-goers
had the pleasure of seeing two seasons ago.
The ''Sir Michael AudleY" of Il. I. Carroll
was execrable, and Mr.. Murphy'S "Robert
Audleyr was Indifferent. In fact, the sup,
port was ouly tolerablc, and the closing act,
where George Tallboys makes his appear
ance SO unexpectedly, was marred by the
istlessness and apathy of ell concerned.
The play In the evening was somewhat
better, though the burden was on Miss
Gray, who, particularly in the mad scene,
gave some evidence of being entitled
to the reputation which has been
claimed for her. OF the support
we can only cay that the lines were well
recited, but there was considerable lack
of dramatic expression and force. The
play has been presented here In such supe-
rior manner that the defects Of Saturday
evening we're more noticeable. Under the
circumstances we feel it unnecessary to enter
upou any criticism In detail.

A Few Points shat Every Business
Man should Consider.

A correspondent of the Newspaper Reporter
says: "The man who says he doesn't believe
In advertising is doing just what he depre-
Gates. He hangs coats outside ofhIs door,
or puts his dry goods in his windows-that's
advertising. He has printed cards lying on
his counter-that's advertising. He sends
out drummers through the country, or puts
his name on hts wagon-th2t's advertising.
He labels the articles of his manufacture
that's advertising. IL he has lost his COW
he puts written notice in the post office.
or tells his saskatchewan that's adyer-
Using, too. He has bis name put up In
gilt letters over the door-what is that but
advertising? He paints his shop green or
red; or If tailor, he wears the latest
style; II doctor, he has his boy call him
out Of church in haste; if an auctioneer, he
bellows to attract the attention OF passers-
by; IL heavy merchant he keeps large
pile of boxes on his sidewalk in front Of his
store-and all for advertising. A man can't
do business without advertising, and the
question is whether to call to his aid the en-
CINE that moves the world-the printing
press with It's thousands of messengers work
Ing night and day, the steam engine adding
to Its repeating capacity untold power and
miraculous speed; or, rejecting all these, go
back to the days when newspapers, tele-
graph and railroads were unknown"

THE Late Outrage-The Condition of

the Victim Improved.
Our readers will remember that an &C.
count was published in last Mondays NEWS
ofthe discovery in Jones' Old Field, at eight
O'Clock on Sunday morning, Of q young
white woman In an unconscious state from
q severe assault. She was carried to the
Savannah Hospital, having been recog-
rized as one Maud Taylor, and her condi-
ton was reported extremely critical, and
her life was despaired Of. There was very
little change until Friday last, when she
showed signs OF improvement, and an
effort was made to obtain from her
some information in regard to the as
sault. She scented to have no remem-
brance whatever of the occurrence,
She said that she had been washing and
cooking for two white men ON the White
Bluff road, few miles from the city. On
Saturday afternoon she started for town,
with the view of purchasing some articles.
On the way she met cOlored man and
woman, who we're also coming to the city,
and Joined them. When the trio srrived at
the intersection OF the railroad crossing,
they stopped st some store, the negro man
and his wife going In, and the young
woman remaining outside. At this point
she took glass Of port wine, and says from
that time until she swoke to consciousness
three days afterwards in the hospital, she
knew nothing whatever, and thinks the
lauor Was drugged. Whether she re-
ceived the LIQUOR from the negro, or
obtained it herself, she failed to state.
She has no fur her recoll6 ctiCn OF the negro
m an or woman, and no remembrance what
ever Of the struggle In Jones' Field, and
cannot explain how she came there. The
case is certainly most singular one, aud,
under the circumstances, 1t is likely the
perpe:ra.or of the assault VIII never be
known.
While her condition Is greatly improved,
she is not considered out OF danger by any
means, and her death may ensue in few
DAYS. She is from Indiana, and is about
nineteen years of age.
