suit Entered Against the Coast Line
Railroad

1t viii be remembered that at the late an
nual meeting of the stockholders of the Coast
Line Railroad, reference was made to Ger
tain claims against the company for right Of
way, which had never been settled, although
frequently presented These claims are
held by Capt. NJ. J. Doyle, E. j. Ruckert,
ESQ, and Mr. Henry Ambos, large stock
anC boudholders Of the road and also mem
bers of the Board of Directors. We under
stand that at a recent meeting OF the direct
ors these claims were again presented, but
no action was taken, and it was proposed to
refer the matter to a committee. This pro
position, it appears, did not meet with
the approval of the interested parties and
they declined to entertain 1t. Since then
there has been considerable talk, and the
gentlemen mentioned at last determined to
enter suit against the company for the psy
ment of their lands. Mr.. Ruckerts claim
Is for 81 900 for land taken at the Bolton
street terminus of the street line; Captain
Doyle's for about 81 500 for right of way
through land at Thunderbolt. and Mr..
Ambos for q large sum also for
land occupied by the company at Thunder
bolt. None of these claims have been set
tied, although it is stated that various en-
deavors have been made to that end. All
the claims have now been placed in the
hands of Messrs. A. p. s. 8. B. Adams, with
instruction to enter suit forthwith against
the company for the payment of the same.
The proper notice has been served upon
Mr.. Alfred Haywood, President Of the com
pany, informing him Of the action of the
claimants, and ii Is understood the suit is
TO be vigorously pushed during the present
term of the Superior Court and some settle
ment effected.

Didn,t Get of on the Excursion.

Dl00'b Oeb Ou On the EACuEBAOus
About week since young man, whom
we shall call John Burney, in consideration
Of his general good conduct, had the mis-
fortune to drink too much, and got very
tipsy. After leaving his boon companions
he started for home, but meandered some
what out of the way, and, becoming fatigued
by the heavy cargo he was carrying, came
suddenly to anchor and dropped off
into peaceful slumbers. A thrifty
darkey passing by and perceiv-
the importance of making the best of fs-
vorable opportunity. There was no one
about; not sound of the tramp of the
lonely policeman YVES heard the place was
isolated, and the darkey was convinced that
he was in luck. He approached the sleeper
and proceeded to deliberately divest him OF
his shoes and socks, hat, coat, sleeve but
tons, shirt studs and collar button and some
other articles. The young man s'umbered
on, and the enterprising darkey. with his
booty, skipped gleefully away When the
young man awoke he was disguised to find
himself in such plight.
He was determined, however, II possible,
to discover the rascal who had thus crept
upon him In the Silly hours of the night
and despoiled him of his property. Yester-
day morning fortune favored him, as, while
crossing Bay street, he observed a cOlOred
individual prancing along gleefully to the
wharf to take the steamer on that great ex-
cursion to Beaufort. The young man at once
fastened to Magistrate Is &C Russell, who
issued a warrant for the arrest of the
darkey and placed it in the hands of
Deputy Sheriff Sullivan for execution. The
young man accompanied the officer to the
wharf and pointed out the individual who
was sporting his jewelry. The darkeY was
promptly arrested and was marched to the
office of the Magistrate, when several of the
articles were found upon his person. He
proved to be negro named Harry Bliss, who
had just served out sentence of two years
in convict camp for assault with intent
to murder. The property found on him
was restored to the proper owner and Harry
was then committed to jail to await the
action Of higher tribunal and he conse-
quently did not get off on that excursion.

TroubIe In the Home circle.

Yesterday afternoon, about four o'clock,
the residents of Stone street were aroused
By lively racket in the mansion occupied
by coIored couple known as Sam and Ann
Seals. There was evidently, from the con-
fusion and noise, considerable trouble in
the home circle, and Policeman Farr,
whose attention was attracted, praRced
upon the scene and quelled the disturb
ance. 1t seems that Sam and Ann
had little dispute In regard to some ques-
ton Of domestic economy, so to speak, and
their blood being hot, they ceased jawing
and pitched into one another In the liveliest
style. They were cantered off to the bar
racks, and will make their appearance at

why the warrant. were Issued.


In the MORNING News of yesterday ap-
peared an article in reference to the pro-
ceedings taken against two young ap
prentices in the foundry Of Mr.. Jno. W.
lyman on Saturday, who were guilty of the
heinous offense of squirting little water on
two troublesome negro boys, who had been
ordered from the shop, and who had re-
fused to go. One of the young men, as
stated, was arrested, and required to give
bond for his appearance. The other, not
being at the shop Saturday evening
when the constable returned, was not ar
rested. Surprise was expressed that war
rants were issued on the afidavits of two
Young negroes on such a triting charge,
and It was stated that Mr.. lyman was very
indignant at the proceedings. We learn
from Magistrate Isaac Russell, who issued
the warrants, that on Saturday negro boy.
accompanied by two negro men, came 10
his Office and applied for warrant against
two young men in q blacksmith shop,
who had assaulted him. The boy,
who was covered with mud and water, and
had bruise on the side of his head, looked
to be about eleven years of age and had the
appearance of having been roughly used.
He stated that he had gone to the shop
with another boy to carry some meals to
one of the men, and that the apprentices
stated they wanted to have some fun out of
him, seized him and threw him to the
ground, that one held him while the Others
Eauirted water on him. One of the negro
men with the boy stated that he had wit
messed the assault. Upon these representa-
tions Magistrate Russell considered It his
duty to issue the warrants, and accordingly
did so. An examination in the case will
probably be held In few days,

NARROW Escape from Drowning.

Yesterday afternoon q party Of young
men were engaged in bathing in the river
near Fort Jackson, when one OF the number
ventured beyond his depth and very mar
rowIy escaped drowning. He was unable
to swim, but made desperate exertiOns to
help himself. his efforts would have been
uuavailing, however, and he would undoubt-
edIy have been drowned but for the prompt
ness Of Mr.. John Fl. Helmken, who, per-
ceiving his danger, swan to his assistance,
and, with some difficulty, succeeded In res
cuing him.

to Augusta, a colored man, whose name
the officers Of the steamer cannot now re-
call, engaged passage for some landing on
the river. Shortly after leaving the city

Finding moral sussion OF no avail. the

his passage money was returned him, and
he was then given the grand bounce by the
officers, and left to reflect over his folly.
