Habean Onrpus Case.

George W. TiScomb and W. A.
Friend, against whom indictments were
found for keeping a keno bank, etc, hav-
ing failed to appear at the term of the court
to which their cases were called, Judge
Tompkins issued bench warrant against
them, aud they were brought up and sur
rendered to the Sheriff, who demanded
bonds in the sum of ten thousand dollars
for their appearance under orders of the
Judge of the Superior Court. The defend
ants failed to give the required bond, and
were committed to jail. Saturday their
attorney, Mr.. j. j. Abrams, sued out writ
of habeas corpus before Hon. John o. Fer
rill, Ordinary. The defendants were brought
before the court, and after full hearing
from the Solicitor General and the attorney
for defendants, the Ordinary rendered the
following decision
In re habeas corpus. After listening to
full argument from counsel on both sides in
this cause, decide that, taking into con-
sideratioD all the surroundings in this case,
1 have jurisdiction; and further, that the
bail demanded is excessive, the effense
charged being simple misdemeahOr by the
laws Of Georgia.
The previous bond taken from these
parties for the same offense by the Judge Of
the Superior Court was for the sum of five
hundred dollars, and for the sole reason
that their failure to appear at the term OF
the court specified in the bond had the -ap-
pearance of disrespect to the court, do
now require good bond from each Of said
parties in the penal sum OF one thousand
dollars, based on real estate, to be by me
approved, and that upon giving such bond
they be discharged.
JNo o. FERRILL, Ordinary.
The defendants gave the required bond
and were discharged.

The killing OF s'Chucky'' Williams
The Inquest-The Prisoner SLIM
mons Disappears

The killing Of ssChuckyo Wtlliams-
The Taaueat-The Prisoner Sim
mons Disappears
Saturday morning at IL o'clock the In
quest in the case OF the death OF George,
alias "Chucky," Williams was resumed at
the court house. Several witnesses were ex-
amined, but no facts Of any importance
were adduced, the evidence being merely
corroborative of that elected at the investi-
CATION on Friday, and which was given in
the MORNING News of Saturday. There are
two important witnesses, however, who
could not be obtained, and 1t was decided
to POSTPONE further investigation until this
morning, when It is expected their attend
apce NAV be secured.
During the investigation Saturday the
coIored Constable Joe Simmons, who killed
Williams, was in the court room, IN custody
of Deputy Sheriff Hall, colored. In the con-
fusion incident to the adjournment, Sim
mons disappeared, and the Coroner inquir-
ing into the matter was informed that Sim
mons had gone off with Cons able Wether-
horn and he presumed that the latter would
take him to the jail. It was subsequently,
ascertained that Simmons was not at the
Jail, nor was he found at his house. In fact
he had disappeared, and the natural sup
Dositfon is that he has skipped the
city. Deputy Sheriff Hall stated to
the Coroner that he saw Simmons with
Constable Wetherhorn, and calling to him,
said: "Joe, where are you going?" Sim
nous replied: "l'm going to jail under com
mitment of the Coroner" Hall, thinking
1t was all right, and that he was going to
Jail in charge of Constable Wetherhorn,
made no attempt to bring him back. Where
he went to afterwards Is not known, and
we have been unable to ascertain Constable
Wetherhorn's statement OF the affair, or
whether he considered Simmons under his
charge or not. There seems to be consid-
cradle doubt on this point, and as Wether-
horn is an old constable it is not likely he
would have permitted the escape had he re-
garded himself responsible.
Coroner Sheftall reported the escape
promptly to Solicitor General Charlton, who
directed that immediate steps be taken to
recapture Simmons If he is in the city, and
to have instituted rigid investigation into
the manner of his escape.
The Coroner informs us that he had not
issued any commitment, and no one had any
authority to take Simmons from the court
room without his order. With the meagre
information before US, it is difficult to say
where the responsibility in this case rests.
1t is certain, however, that q mau who is
under arrest for having taken the life OF
fellow being has been permitted to make
his escape from court room where there
were several officers present, and somebody
is surely to blame.
Several parties who know Simmons well
express the opinion that he is yet in the
city, but up to late hour last night he had
not been recaptured or, so far as we could
learn, heard from. We forbear making
further comments until it is established
where the blame lies and who is responsible
for the escape. It is likely some action will
be taken In the matter to-day.

make analyses of your Self Raising Flour
and Buckwheat and Griddle Cake Flour on
a number of occasions, not only for you,
but for others who wished to know what
were the materials contained in these arti-
Giles, and have for many years used them in
my own family, and can testify most en-
phatically that they are agreeable, nutrt-
tious and perfectly wholesome. The ingre-
dents employed in their preparation are
not only entirely harmless as so used, but
have been recommended by the highest
authorities in medical and physiological
science, as the most wholesome, and in all
respects desirable preparations now known
for the purpose Of raising bread, cakes, etc.

front Of each pie, with his hands tied be-
hind his back. At a signal they start eat

Awakened By a Sudden Plunge Into
the River.

Saturday Worning early tug came up
to the city from below, and moored at her
wharf. The fireman on board, who was
rather drowsy, lay down on the rail for a
little snooze, and soon fell into a sound
sleep. During his slumbers he rolled little
too far, and tumbled into the water. The
sudden plunge into the river awakened him,
as may be supposed. A deck hand, who
perceived the accident, FASTENED
forward, and IS he rose to
the surface, grabbed him aud hauled
him on board. When the fireman regained
his feet he wanted to fight his rescuer, as.
sorting that a bucket of water had been
thrown on him.

The Match Between the Brennans
and SaVauuahs.

and SAVannahs.
An important meeting Of the Savannah
Base Ball Club was held Saturday evening to
consider telegram received from the Bren-
mans of New Orleans in reference to the
proposed match in this city. The Bren-
mans, it appears, want guarantee Of over
three hundred dollars instead of
half the gate money, as had been
previously arranged. After consider
alton and consultation, the Savannahs de-
termined to offer guarantee of $500, and
telegraphed the Brennans Of this fact. 1t
is anticipated that the proposition will be
accepted, as the guarantee is liberal, and the
Brennans may be expected to arrive here
on the night of the 10th, the match being
arranged to take place on the 18th inst.
The new base ball park will be completed
by that time. The fencing is rapidly being
put up, and the grounds will be in good
order for the players. A reasonable price
OF admission will be charged, and there will
be undoubtedly an immense crowd present.
The interest in the game is increasing, and
there is great desire expressed to see the
two clubs in the contest.
