4 Constable Stabbed and Cut by an En-
ragged Negress.
About + O'Clock yestesday afternoon
lively ARRAY occurred between Mary
Josephs, colored, the keeper of ba gnio
OF Price street, near Hull, and a we'll
known constable. 1t appears that the
constable was interested in another
cOlOred female of questionable reputation.
The latter had some difficulty with the
woman JOsephs, who, in a war
of words. used some violent language.
at which the constable became incensed,
and proceeded to Mary's dOmicile for the
purpose of cowhiding her. To this pro-
ceeding the woman strenuOusly objected.
and drawing her barlow attempted to
carve the constable. She succeeded in
cutting him severely about the face and
neck, and had stabbed him in the shoulder,
when they were separated. The constable
attempted to shoot the woman, when
bystanders interfered. She was arrested
and carried 10 the barracks, but was al
forwards released upon bail.

LITTLE RED JACKET.

Romantic History of a Cannon that has
Made Big Noise in the WOrld-Cast
Into the Waters in Time of War and
Fished Out to Become Celebrated in
Time of Peace.
The little brass hOwitzer known as
RED Jacket" which has been used in
firing salutes at the city hall in New York
at every public demonstration since 1865,
and which was fished out Of the Chatta-
hoochee river a short time after the close
of the war, where 1t had been
thrown by the Columbus Guards. TO whom
it originally belonged, and sent to New
York in cargo of old ju NIX, was, brought
out yesterday on the ste amship Chatta-
hoOchee on its return to Columbus, where
it will be exhibited at the approaching
Guards fair.
The relic lay on the Ocean Steamship
wharf yesterday afternoon awaiting its
shipment, and was the object or a great
deal of interest. A MORNING NEWS re-
porter, with a number of other gentlemen,
paid a visit 10 the little cannon that has
spoken the occurrence of great events in the
cOuntry's history. 1t is mounted on a field
carriage built in keeping with itself, and,
although the combination looks like a
plaything, the gun is thirty-siX inches
long, with bore of two inches. On the
ing the address, u. w. WOolfOrd, Column
bus, Ca" Mr.. WOOlford is the President
of the Board of Trade at that city. Red
Jacket is supposed to have been cast dur
ing the war, and the work was hurriedly
done, as the end of the right trunnion was
roughly cut off and never finished: other
wise it is handsome little piece, and has
probably made as much racket at celebra-
ton ana salute firing as many OF its lar
ger and heavier brothers. The gun
has history which will doubtless
ind It's way into the annals Of the State.
In the celebration of Evacuation Dav
in New York last fall a notice of the
howitzer, which was used IN firing salutes
on that day appeared in one of the New
York papers. The notice attracted the at
tentlon Of Lieutenant Chappell of the
Guards, who wrote to the association of
owners and agents of steam and sail yes
sells Of the port of New York asking for
information concerning. it. Commander
and Secretary d. NJ. Munger began an in
yestigatiOn and found the gun in the pos
session of Mr.. James W. Godfrey, a manu-
tacturer of arms and ammunition in
Catherine street. 1t was readily identified
by the following inscription:

commander Munger reported to the Co
lumbus Guards, and wrote that Mr.. God
frey was willing to restore the relic to its
proper owners. Answer was duly re-
-. we'd IRON the U9ntain Of the Guards.
II incIosed y resolution ~ the Common
Council of the CITY o. Columbus, lliSspking
MIR. Godfrey for his offer 10 restore the
gun, and offered to defray all nrxpenses for
purchase and sendino.
Mr.. Godfrey, in relating the hist ory of
'Red Jacket" said:
l bought the hOwitzer from Capt. George
II. Whiteside in 1865 Capt. Whiteside
was then commander Of the sham
rock, and afterward commanded the Rebecca
Eyeringham, recently burned on the Chatta-
hOochee river. purchased il for a mere song
IN a general invoice of old Junk. 1t was
coated with yerdigris, and not until it was
cleaned, sometime afterward, was the inscrip-
ton decipherable. Capt. Whiteside drew the
gun and carriage from the bottom of the
ChattahOOchee river on the fiuke of the anchor
OF the shamrock, and had no idea Of its his
tOrical record.
Red Jacket began firing salutes in 1861 at
the inauguration of jefferson Davis IS PTesi-
dent Of the Southern Confederacv at Mont
gomery, Ala. On that occasion il was
handled By the Columbus Guards, who were
stationed on Capitol Hill and fired it 100 times.
When the Guards were ordered to the front
and became Company G of the Second Georgia
Regiment, and joined TOembs' Brigade, Red
Jacket was left in the care OF the citizens of
Columbus and did duty in firing salutes for
Confederate victories. At the close of the
war, when Gen. Candy penetrated through
Alabama TO Columbus, the Columbians. who
had not heard of Gen. Lees surrender, planted
Red Jacket upon the bank Of the ChattahOo-
chez river and prepared TO beat back the in
Vader. They were soon convinced of this
error. but to save their little hOwitzer they
spiked 1t and tumbled it to the bottom of the
stream.
Since Red Jacket has been in New York it
has belched forth salutes for the Inauguration
of each President of the United States, be-
ginning with Gen. Grant. Except" said Mr..

Conant,s Ingenious Defense.

The testimony for the State in the trial of Frank V. Conant of Norwich, the cold blooded murderer of Al Mcclellan, the ath- lete, has been concluded, and Conant's coun- sel have put on some of their leading wit nesses, outlining the shrewd defense they in- tend to make. Chief Justice Park is holding court on Saturdays and Mondays to. expedite the trial. The evidence thus far has been damaging to the prisoner, showing his knowledge of his wife's friendly intimacy with Mcclellan for some time previous to the killing, and that he had long cherished the intention to kill Mcclellan whenever an op- portunity should offer. The defense is set ting up the claim that Mcclellan had attack ed Conant some time previous to the shoot ing, and the former being professional ath4 lete and much Conant's superior in strength the latter was led to believe that his life was in danger and he therefore shot Mcclellan in self defense. The defense will also show by witnesses that Mrs. Conant said after the murder that Crank had shot the man who got her into trouble" before her marriage to Conant. They claim that this will show that Conant had provocation. They will also endeavor to show that McClellan's fall of three feet to the gutter after he was shot killed him.
 Some twelve or fifteen witnesses were ex amiIed for the defense yesterday, which is now trying to prove that Conant did the killing in fit of insanity brought on by the consciousness of his wrongs and the sight of his rival. The evidence to-day gave not a little strength to this view of the cAse and it is said tonight by well informed lawyers that this trial may develop into the greatest insanity case ever. tried in Connecticut.
