"sHEENY MIKE" ON TRIAL.

Waiting for Judge Bakers Decision
An Impression That Re will be Re
leased.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Jan. 27.-kurtz,
alias "Sheeny Mike" was up again before
Judge Baker this forenoon upon the pend
ing case OF habeas corpus. Detective
Thomas A. Gallagher, representing Rob
ert A. Pinkerton's New York agency, and
George Hazelhurst, of Troy, n. Y, have
been here several days awaiting the de-
cision in the case. They have requisition
papers, all of which have
been properly acknowledged and
signed by Gov. +. A. Perry. The
defendants attorneys this morning
urged the point, and it is apparently well
taken, that the original indictment in the
courts at Troy, Renssalaar county, n. Y,
shows upon the face of the papers that
the indictment had been brought against
Robert Smith, no alias whatever being
named therein. OF course the afidavits
and other papers are based upon this
original Indictment. Messrs. Summers
and Pope, Kurtz's lawyers, say that, al
though Gov HIPS requisition
and GOV. Perry's warrant thereon
designate the prisoner as Michael
kuriZ, alias Robert smith,
that their papers are based on the charge
and name contained in the original in
djctment, and are consequently faulty;
that the indictment is for Robert Smith,
not Michael Kurtz, no party or alias what
ever being named in the indictments and
further, tnat the detectives mere present
have failed to identify kurtz as the Rob-
ert smith named in the indictment. There
are other minor points involved in the
proceedings, all of which, when taken
together, make the case a very IN
tricate and exceedingly Interesting
one. tits destined to rank as one of the
cause cclebre OF Florida.
Judge Baker will render his decision
in the case tomorrow morning. The i'm
preston seems to be that kurtz will be
turned loose.
70 BE ARRESTED ON OTHER CHARGES.
Detectives Gallagher and Hazelhurst
say that il he gets free in these proceed
ings he will be Immediately arrested
on other charges and indictments pending
against him in New York State and IN
Boston.
j. NJ. Ruth, the man shot last night by
a negro, accidentally, is better this morn

A Ghost Story About Freemasons Who

Ghost Story About FreemasOns Who
Implicitly Obeyed Their Master.
There is class of Freemasons who
are as great sticklers for their rituals as
the Episcopalians are for theirs. One of
this Sort writes correspondent of the

Of an Indiana lodge, and by an over eXer-

trained his lodge to obey his commands
with absolute precision. and among the
rest never to take their seats In the lodge
until the gavel tell.
One night be had them on the rise per-
forming the exercises peculiar to the
craft, when suddenly he slipped, stumbled
backward, broke through the window
sash, fell four stories to the ground, broke
his neck and died instantly. Next day
the neighbors were Mortified at the dis
cOvery Of his dead body. They had a
grand funeral, only it was noticed that
not Mason was present. In fact the
MasOns had disappeared. Their estates
were settled, widows married again, and
in time all were forgotten.
A quarter Of century passed away,
when some boys, mOnheying round the
upper story Of the court house, found a
skeleton. The alarmed population broke
open the doors and a sight was presented
that might have been appalling but for
its whimslcalness. Thirty skeletons
were standing gazing Intently at the

A Few Facts for the COnSidsTa.
ton Of the Public.

Hundreds OF our best citizens have within
the past week voluntarily told US that the re-
cent attack on us In the New York Musical
Courier was outrageous, and asked who it was
that could be GesDjca5le enough to injure our
business and standing by circulating marked
copies in this city.
To all such inquiries we have replied, "a
malicious competitor" and given his name
and place of business. 1t is not necessary that
we name him in print. All know who we
mean, and why he keeps yelping at US.
We believe that said party is responsible for
the appearance Of the article in the MusicaS
Courier. and that in consideration Of its pub
lication he agreed to buy a large number of
copies of said paper.
Webelieve that said party is responsible for
the marked copies of said paper which were
sent to Music Dealers throughout the South.
that they might be used to our injury.
We believe that said party is responsibility
packages of said papers, containing from
three to ten copies each, which were sent to
Piano and Organ Dealers in Savannah and
elsewhere to be distributed or shown where
they would work us the greatest injury.
We hnoo0 that said party is responsible for
the circulation of the one hundred marked
copies of said paper received by Music Teach
ers, Musicians, Pastors, Merchants, Leading
Citizens and prospective Piano buyers in this
city.
1t may be difficult for us to prove positively
the first three allegations as the fox has COW
cred his tracks as tar as possible, but we are
solid on the last one, which is all we need to
make our case.
