officer RTaher's Adventure with Gang
of Yamacraw Koughs.
Ed. Andrews and another negro were
arrested while fighting, last night, on
jackson street by Officer Maher. On the
way to the barracks mob of eight or ten
negroes surrounded the officer and at
lacked him. one of the crowd struck
at him with a billy, and in warding off
the blow the policeman lo0sened his hold
on one OF his prisoners. He Immediately
escaped. The crowd then tried to get
Andrews away. Officer Maher blew his
whistle and raped all Of the heads within
reach. Andrews acted ugly and made a
stOur resistance.
The espantoon played a tattoo on his
head until he concluded to move along
The whistle brought assistance and the
mob WAS dispersed. While in the bar
racks the negro said threateningly to the
policeman: This is the third time you
have brought me here, and | will get even
with you when / get out"
He was very surly, and If he exhibits
the same temper IN court it is probable
that he viii not have u chance to carry
out his threat for a good while. The one
who escaped was not recaptured, and no
other arrests were made.

A Charleston Negroes Itching Palate
Gets Him in Trouble.
Among the excursionists who came to
Savannah yesterday from Charleston, was
a negro named Morris Green. After Wis
iting different portions of the city, Green
sauntered into the neighborhood of the
gas house, where he became partially
ohoked with smoke from the guns fired in
memory of Gen. Grant. In order to drive
away the tickling sensation
of the satpetre or something
else with which the smoke seemed TO him
to be strongly impTegnated, he dropped
into the grocery and liquor shop kept by
Peter Smith, at Bryan and West Broad
streets, and took thlmble full of ice
water, diluted. and offered the clerk at
the bar bill in payment.
The clerk went TO the rear of the store
to get the bill changed, aud through an
opening in a window saw Green help
himself to a decanter filled with
Wine. Magistrate Folliard was
quickly communicated with and entered
the store by the front door. Walking up
to Green he took the bottle out OF mis- in
side coat pocket just as the clerk entered
by way Of the back door. The Charleston
eXcursionist looked chagrined when he
found himself so sklltully trapped, and
would have paid for the decanter
aud contents, only that the former was
not for sale. He WIS committed TO Jail
by the magistrate on warrant charging
him with larceny, and will have
an opportunity 10 explain to Judge Har-
den in the city Court tomorrow how he
came 10 abandon the excursion party for
ways that are dark and trick that was
vain.
