The judicial intelligence Of Justice
Whitman was taxed Saturday to set
tie a tangle in a hog case that was
ventilated before him for adjudica-
tiOn. 1t was suit brought by Jas.
Roe to secure damages in transac-
tion in which the sheriff was inter-
ested. E. H. Jameson did the
wordy struggle for the defendant,
while Hyde & StOll handled the
sponge for the plaintiff. The trial
was carried on with refreshing vigor,
and the case was crowded with inter-
est from the word go to the finish.
The attorneys laid down to their
work and tore Blackstone to pieces
in their endeavors to win. The gist
Of the trouble was this: The innocent
porkers were attached by Sheriff
Dillon and put in charge of Mr.. Roe.
He kept them for some time and
then notified the sheriff to remove
them. The officer falling to do so
Roe turned the grunters out on the
world. Roe wanted some recon-
pense for the keeping which was re-
fused; hence the appeal to the law.
Judge Whitman attentively hark-
ened unto the testimony and opened
his eyes to the calcium light of legal
illumination thrown on the case and
decided that the plaintiff was en-
titled to $40, and that while footing
that bill the defendant should not
forget the expense of the court and
officers which added the total up near
to an hundred.

the construction Of works and the
introduction Of water. He spoke in
the interest Of parties living out Of
the city. A gentleman interested in
the matter had visited the Falls, and
felt satisfied that a project of the
kind could be made to work.
The question ELECTED considerable
argument Mayor Glover said that
every resident Of the city was deeply
interested in project OF the kind
and were anxious to see works put
in at once. There is nothing that
the city stands more in need Of.
The city was willing to allow right
of way for putting down pipes and
was willing to pay a good sum for
water for public uses. They could
do nothing, however, until the COM
pany made some kind Of proposition
to the Board, and then it could
act intelligently. He thought the
city and citizens would do every
thing in their power to assist an en-
terprise of this description. Mr..
Cannon fully endorsed the idea ad-
vanced by the Mayor.
1t was reported that Mr. Kohloff
desired to withdraw from the posi-
tiOn Of night watchman, and the
Marshal asked the Board to appoint
his successor. Several persons were
named, but no choice was made.

Inquiry into the cause of the delay OF
the mails from the North on Monday and
the reason Of the miscOnnectiOn Of the
trains at Charleston Onithe Northeastern
and Charleston ami Savannah Railroads
developed the particulars of an accident
at BOnneau's on the Northeastern,
caused by the collision of the fast mail
and freight train just running upon a
siding to wait for the mail to pass.
There was a dense fog at the time which
the engineer said prevented him from see
ing a distance Of fifty yards, and which of
course prevented him from seeing the
rear lights of the freight train. The loco
motive of the passenger train struck the
rear of the freight train, smashing up
three box cars and then took the ditch.
An engineer in the employ of the railroad,
and who was on his way from Florence to
Charleston, jumped from the engine and
sustained slight injuries, his ankle being
sprained. He returned to Florence on the
nOrth-bOund train. The engineer of the
down train remained in his cab, as did
also his staff, and all of them escaped in
Jury. None of the passenger coaches We're
injured in the slightest manner.

Arrested for "A Murder Committed Ten
Years Ago.

The Macon Telegraph gives an account
of the arrest in East Macon, on Monday,
of man named y. c. Akridge, who
claimed to have formerly lived in Savan-
nah, for murder committed over ten
years ago. He said that he was charged
with the shooting of his brOther-in-law,
James E. Greer, on the night of Decem-
Der a, 1872. He admitted having diff
Guilty with Greer, who attacked him.
They grappied, and while on the ground
Greer got his knife out and handed
it to a bystander to open for him; but this
was not done, and the parties separated.
A short time afterward they met again,
Greer advancing with a shotgun. A shot
was fired and Greer was killed, but
Akridge did not admit firing the fatal shot.
After the tragedy he remained for some
time in Macon, and then said he came to
Savannah, and afterwards went to
Brunswick and Augusta, and about two
months ago to East Macon, where he was
recognized and arrested. On his eX-
animation no indictment ON the court re-
cords could be found against him. An
account of the murder, however, has been
traced, and the proceedings Of the COro-
mer's inquest held upon the murdered
man. There seems, without additional
evidence be secured, that he will be re-
leased.
