Cesar Habershsm, the negro who was ar
rested st the Central Railroad wharf on
Friday evening for stealing a lot Of rope,
was arraigned in the Police Court Saturday
morning. 1t appeared from the evidence
that when Policeman O'Hara arrested
Caesar, that dusky warrior showed fight,
and, drawing a pistol, attempted to
shoot the officer, but being bad msrksmsn,
his shot missed. He was finally
subjugated and carried to the police bar
racks, where he lodged for the remainder
Of the night. Caesar was fined ten dollars
or thirty days for firing pistol in the street,
and in addition will have to answer the
charges Of larceny, assault with intent to
murder, and carving concealed weapons.
The last two charges he will have to answer
before the Superior Court.
It seems after the darkey opened his
artillery, the policeman returned the COM
piiment by firing upon him, the ball, we
understand, striking Caesar plump in the
forehead, but failed to penetrate his csput,
and caromed over the top of his head, max
ing a sort Of valley, as it were, through the
wOolly hirsute, but in no wise injuring
him. 1t increased his ire, however, and he
fought so ferOeiOusly and vigorously
that the policeman had to obtain assistance
to subjEgste him. The prospects are that
Caesar will have the opportunity to exercise
his muscle in honorable labor digging out
the Cuyler swamp canal for the remainder
Of the year.

SHOT IN HIS OFFICE.
A Worthy Young Man MOrtahS
wounded by an InebriaSea Anai-
TIdual,

We Yesterday learned the particulars Of
vaptou and malicious crime, which win
probably result In the death Of avery wor-
thy gentleman and efficient officer Of the
Central Railroad. The affair occurred at
Halcyondale. station No. 5, Central Rail-
road, on Thursday evening last, and has
aroused the greatest Indignation among the
people resident in the neighborhood, and 1t
IS reported that had the perpetrator been
captured he would Immediately have been
lynched, so intense was the feeling against
him.
Ga the evening named, Mr.. W. g.
Brewer, who acts as telegraph operator and
IS also railroad and express agent at that
point, wss busily engaged in delivering
some guanO to the various farmers
iE waiting at the depot, when
Young, who was considerably under the in
fiuence Of liquor, came up and began TO
annOy Mr.. Brewer. He was demonstrated
With and requested 10 leave the place, as be
was interfering with the work, Mr.. Brewer
telling him he had great desl TO do and
cid not wish TO be disturbed. Young re-
msined near BY, however, and continued his
interference. A few minutes after
Mr.. Brewer had occasion to 60 into
his Cffice for some papers, and
was followed thither by Young, who became
very abusive, and who noticing a shot gun
resting against the wall, nesr the door,
seized It and deliberately aud without
word Of warning aimed it at Mr.. Brewer
and fired. The gun was loaded with buck
shot. and the entire charge passed into Mr..
Brewers size, iuhieting a very dangerous
aud il Is thought mortal wound.
Immediately after firing Young darted
from the place, and succeeded in making
his escape before those about the station
realized that 8 brutal, cowsrdly crime had
been committed.
Some Of the farmers rushed to Mr.. Brew
er and discovered that he had been shot.
At his request he was assisted to his tele-
graph instrument, and, though greatly
weakened by loss Of blood and suffering
terribly, was held In position at the table
until he telegraphed briefly the particulars
OF the crime to Col. VIM. Rogers, SupeTin-
tendent Of the Central Railroad. Mr..
Brewer is said TO be very estimable young
man, and very popular with the people In
the neighbOrhOOd and among the employees
Of the road, and 1t is to be hoped that his
wound will not prove fatal, as is now
feared.
Young is described as sort Of desperate
character, and It Is reported has been guilty
OF shooting two other men under similar
| circumstances without any provocstioI
whatever. he is said to be about twenty
| three years of age, six feet high, and has an
ugly scar under his right cheek bone. We
understand that every effort will be made
| 20 appreherd him, and It is hoped that he
NAV be captured. Thursday night and
/ Fridsy the woods were secured, but nc
/ trace Of him could be discovered.

We learn that some time during Saturday
night the store Of Mr.. Martin Schroeder, on
the corner Of West Broad and Perry street
lane, was entered bY thieves, who helped
themselves freely to liquor and cigars and
other articles, and then deeamped, leaving
the lamp lighted which they had used In
making their midnight explorations. II is
thought from the appearance OF the win
dow through which they entered that the
burglars flXed the fastening previous to the
closing Of the store while they were pre-
Tending to make some purchases. There is
no clue to the perpetrators, however.

PRIZES OF THE DEEP.
Capture of Two Whales = One or
Tybee-AnOIher Near st. SfmOn's
IsIand-A Fine Yield.

The whale which has been seen In these
waters several times lately has been cap.
tured and killed by the whaling schooner
Lolita Cook, and now lies in deep water
near Daufuskie beach. The crew of the
vessel named are at work reducing the mon
ster to oil and obtaining whalebone to manu-
facture fashionable corsets. It is esti-
mated that she will produce about
ninety barrels Of oil. Her calf
is near the same vicinity, and occasionally
approaches its desd mother, and the whalers
are confident Of capturing It,. as 1t came
sufficiently close on Saturday TO its mother
to have been killed. The men were, how
ever, not enabled to use their boats at the
time and IL escaped. The calf is of lsrge
size, and il is estimated will produce about
fifteen barrels Of oil. The presence Of these
"Joneh swallowers" IN cur waters promises
to prove a bonsIZa 70 some cruisers, as 1t is
estimated that the oil from an average size
one will yield about 80 600.
Since the capture Of the one above noted
we learn that on Wednesday last whaling
schooner, which has been cruising around
Brunswick and st. SimOn's Island on the
lookout for these leviathsns OF the deen,
succeeded in coming across huge fellow
near the Is and, which they killed and cap
tured, and are now busily employed reduc
ing the flesh to oil. We are informed that
it is expected fully one hundred barrels of
oil win be obtained.
The method employed in dispatching
these monsters now is more rapid and at
tended with less danger than formerly.
A harpoon is driven into the body with a
small torpedo attached which explodes in
side, making a fearful wound that quickly
produces death. The lifeless body is then
hauled to the side of the vessel, when ropes
are tied around it near the head and tail and
secured to the masts. The carcass is cut in
largo square pieces with q sharp instrument,
shaped like spade. These pieces are haul
ed upon deck with block and tackle and
the flesh boiled down to oil.
Large numbers of people from Brunswick
went to 81. Smon's in boats to get look st
the dead monster. and some of them were
towed back to Brunswick on her outward
trip by the steamer David Clark.
