Yesterday morning Policeman Jones
sWooped down upon a crowd Of naughty
boys who were Decorating the Sabbath and
violating the ordinances Of the city, byplay-
log base ball game in the southern portion
OF the city within the limits. The boys ske
daddIed when they saw the guardian coming
for them, and several in their haste dropped
their bats. The policeman, however, sue
ceeded in capturing four of the crowd.
They were carried to the barracks but were
subsequently released on bonds for appear
anee this morning at the Police Court.
We may here state that there has been
complaint in regard to the conduct OF these
Youthful base ballers who frequent the CON-
mons in the vicinity of West Broad street.
They generally have a game on Sun
day afternoon, and on their return
from the fields the vanquished in
dulge their feelings by attacking the vic
tors, contending that if they can't beat
them with the ball and bat they can with
fists and stones. Yesterday evening about
half-past six O'Clock a regular skirmish took
place between two of these clubs, the
members Of which range from six to twenty
wears, and brickbats were thrown around
lively, to the great annoyance OF peaceable
pedestrians and parties on the street cars.
Tue police might look after these young

Saturday afternoon the Coroner held an
inquest on the body Of colored man
named Nike Ford, who was drowned in the
river about twelve miles above the city, on
Wednesday night during the storm, under
the following circumstances. Ford, In
company with Mr.. D. NJ. Sheppard, left the
city in row boat for Argyle Island, each
handling an oar. After they had proceeded
about eight miles up the river, Ford re-
Quested Mr.. Sheppard to give him the other
oar, stating that they could get along
faster with one man rowing. Mr.. Sheppard
gave him the oar, and took his seat at the
stern. A few minutes afterwards he heard
a splash in the water, and Ford cried out for
an oar. Mr.. Sheppard looked in the row.
locks, and discovered both oars gone. Il
was very dark and stormy, and he could
see nothing of the unfortunate man
or of the oars. The boat began
to drift about, and the position
became exceedingly unpleasant, as
he was unable to manage the craft.
Presently a vivid flash of lightning
Illuminated the scene, and he saw
stave floating by, which after some diff
Guilty he managed to secure, and with it
padded to place called Beach Hill, where
a Waterman was found on duty. It is
stated that he related the circumstances
and requested aid, but the Waterman re-
fused to render any assistance. The body
of Ford was washed up the following day
and was recovered. The Coroner's jury re-
turned a verdict of death from accidental
drowning.

Dick Small, brave warrior of the colored
brigade, who had been imbibing too freely
of mean whisky during Saturday night, re-
turned to his domicile shortly after mid
night in a very ugly humor. His aged
mother happened TO be up, and Dick com
menced quarreling with her, and finally
knocked his maternal parent down
aud began beating her. Whilst
engaged In this villainous work,
Policeman Fleming, whose attention
had been attracted by the cries for help,
sauntered up and snatehed Dick from the
house aud waltZed him to the barracks. IL
is to be hoped that the Mayor, this morning,
will give Dick the opportunity of doing
some honest labor and learning to behave
himselfin future.

Policeman Malone encountered on the street
3 white man, bareheaded, barefooted, with
his shirt half off him and his pants in immi-
nent danger Of falling from his person at
any moment, staggering along in an
aimless sort Of way. The fellow was
either drunk or demented, and not beng in
a proper condition TO roam about the street,
he was conveyed to the barracks, where he
gave his name as John Hanly. and was
furnished with a lower floor for the night.

A Gallant Act by a savannah Boy.

A Gallant Act by a Savannah Boy.
We are pleased to record noble and gal
liant act recently performed by a Savannah
youth, which, as "the boy is father to the
man, !" indicates the character Of the citizen
ne will be. Master VIM. Bohan, son of
Mr.. John j. Bohan, of this city, is stu
dent at Eastman's College, Poughkeepsie,
New York. Lately the students gave an
excursion on the river, and as the
steamer they were on was passing a
certain point, two lads, in small boat, at
tempted to cross directly in front Of her.
The Captain did not see them in time to
prevent a collision, and the bow Of the
steamer struck the small craft in
the middle, completely over
turning her and carrying the boys below.
One OF the boys succeeded in getting from
under the boat and was hauled on board the
steamer. The other, evidently caught in
some wav, was not seen, and 1t was feared
he would be drowned. When this discovery
was made young Bohan sprang upon the
bottom of the capsized boat, and, st the risk
of his life, began to feel under the boat
for the missing lad. He finally struck one
of the boys hands, and, grabbing him, en-
deavored to haul him up, when he found
that the unconscious boys jacket was
caught in the row locks. After some diff
Guilty, he extricated him aud hauled
him up, when he was transferred to
the steamer in a thoroughly exhausted
condition. The proper restoratives were
applied and he flally revived. But for the
promptness and gallantTy of young Bohan
he would inevitably have been drowned.

A Observation-Disclosures.

About one O'Clock yesterday morning, q
colored man named Ganey Wilson discov-
cred strange negro in his house under
very peculiar circumstances. Wilson and
his wife had retired at a seasonable
hour on Saturday night, and, about the
time mentioned, he suddenly awoke, and to
his surprise found that a strange negro man
was snoring alongside Of him, his wife
being on the other side sound asleep. The
stranger had apparently while drunk
managed to get into the house and
tumbled upon the bed and fallen
asleep with his boots on. Wilson promptly
bounced the intruder and turned him over
to Policeman Evans, who carried him to the
barracks, where he gave his name as Wesley
Bacon, and was registered as suspicious

Last night about quarter to eight O'Clock
there was a very lively disturbance in a
rancho near Cooper Shop lane, occupied by
Henrietta Owens, colored, which attracted
a large crowd of the denizens and
created considerable excitement. Ser
geant Harvey's attention was
also directed to the rumpus, and galloping
TO the place he discovered Cyrus Bolton,
colored, who was under the influence OF
liquor, engaged in beating Henrietta. He at
once arrested Cyrus and carried him to the
barracks, followed by large number OF
negro men and women, who were anxious,
apparently, to see Cyrus properly Gagged for
the night.

Savage Fight Between Two COIOred
Famafaa.

n
Between two and three O'Clock Saturday
afternoon the neighborhood of Broughton
and Habersham streets was the scene of q
very disgraceful fight between two disrepu-
table colored females. They were consider
ably under the influence of liquor, and
meeting at the corner OF the streets named,
Immediately commenced to exchange dis
gusting, profane and abusive epithets. After
considerable cursing the termagants resorted
to brickbats, and missiles were sluDg pro-
miscuously. One of the females was struck
on the side OF the head, but was only slight
ly injured, and determined to get revenge.
They then cliDched and tumbled over into
the heavy sand of the street, where they
rolled about, clawing, scratching and biting
one another like animals, and altogether
making disgusting and disgraceful exhi-
bition of themselves. The racket continued
about half an hour, much to the annoyance
of the respectable people in the neighbor-
hood, when worn out with the struggle, they
separated. Unfortunately, no policeman
could be found in the vicinity during the
entire fracas, and the females escaped.
