ACQUITTED OF ASSAULT.
Row Started over sandwiches Winds
Up in the City Court.

Thomas Enright. the proprietor of the
"Arcade'' saloon. was the defendant in
an assault and Lattery case in the City
Court yesterday. I. Cassell, the prose-
cutor, swore that on the night of Nov. IA
last, he, with two friends, went into the
'9Arcade,D on the corner of Broughton
and Drayton streets, and called for sand
wIches. The proprietor wanted 10 cents
apiece for his sandwiches, and Cassell
said because he refused to pay that price
he was struck on the head with piece of
wood that looked like the big end of bill
lizard cue, and felt like bar of iron. The
witness admitted that he called the de-
fendsnt a swindleF, but denied using any
other epithets that were more opprObriOus.
Oassell also denied that he yelled 'tfiFa" or
murder He thought that he was struck
because he would not pay what he con-
sidered an exOrbitant price for ham sand
wiches, the regulation price of which, at
restaurants, be said is 10 cents. A young
German who was with Cassell on the night
in question, e0rF0bOTated the prosecutors
statement in the man.
The defendant stated that the three
young men entered his bar about 2;oO
O'Clock in the morning. All were drunk
he said and were noisy. Hhe restaurant
was closed and he had to 90 to some
trouble TO get the sandwiches. A quar-
rel arose and Enright said that the prose-
cutOr put one hand back in his hip pocket
as il about to draw pistol. 1t was then
that he, the defendant, struck the prose-
cut0r on the arm with stick which was
used for turning the gas on and of. TWO
walters employed in the restaurant cor
roborated the pFopret0r's testimony.
Policeman j. T. DuBham testified that
he heard some one calling "PoiceP' and
he ran to the corner. Cassen was then
standing outside OF the saloon, swearing
and making considerable noise, but got
quiet when ordered TO move on. The
officer said that he did not hear Cassell
threaten to kill any one. Previous wit
nesses had stated that the prosecutor
swOre he would Kill the defendant.
The evidence in the case was very con-
fllcting, and the jury rendered verdict of
not guilty. Solicitor General duBignon
represented the state and K. r. Richards,
Esq. the defendant.

How Detective WetberhOrn Played
Porter to Secure the Arrest of
EiOpers.
Detective Wetherhorn was notified
Yesterday that the effects OF lawyer Mar
ehand, alias Morgan, and Mrs. Hill, the
eloping couple, had been shipped to him
from Bainbridge. Frank HilL the hus-
band, is pushing the case for adiForee at
his home in GreensbuFg, Pa. Hill mar
Tied Miss Alice Woods in 1888. Her
family was wealthy, and she had a good
block Of interest-paying securities when
she became infatuated with Marchand,
who was q member Of the Greensburg
bar. She left home Jan. rs, and came
South direct with Marchand. In passing
1hreugh Pittsburg MRS. Hill drew over
$4,000 from the Bank of Pittsburg. Mr..
Hill came to Savannah with Chief
O'MaFa OF the Pittsburg detective force.
Here they were joined by Detective Weth-
erhoTn. When the officers and the hus-
band got to cambridge they found that j.
Morgan and wife, as the clipping couple
was known, had gone 10 Pensacola for
short visit. At Pensacola they found J.
Morgan and WIfe's name on the register
of the Continental hotel. The couple was
about TO return to Bainbridge. Shortly
before the train was due they were called,
and when they left for the depot Detect
i've Wetherhorn, disguised as porter, at
tended TO their baggage. At the depot
Hill went up to his wife and spoke to her,
while the officers arrested MaFchand.
Mrs. Hill sobbed and embraced her hus-
band, bat at a word from Marchand
turned and tainted. MaFchand offered to
give the officers $500 II they would allow
him to retarn to Bainbridge and take part
in a bail which was abO9t 20 take place.
When searched Marohand had over 81 500,
which was supposed to be money given
him by Mrs. Hill.
Both consented to return to PenRsylva-
mia, and Mrs. Hill agreed not 30 oppose
divorce proceedings provided she 10 not

DIVISIONS or TIME.
Things that Ought to BE but that are
Not Generally known.


A solar day is measured by the rotation
Of the earth upon it's axis, and is Of DIFF
ferent lengths, owing TO the ellipticlty OF
the earth's orbit and other causes; but
mean solar day, recorded by the timepiece
is twenty-four hours.
An astronomical day commences at
noon, and is oOuated from the first 10 the
| twenty-fOurth hour. A civil day COM
mences at midnight, and is counted from
the first to the twelfth hour, when II Is re-
counted again from the first to the tWeltth
hour. A nautical day is counted as
civil day, but commences like an astro-
nomical day, from noon.
A calendar month varies in length from
% to 81 days. A mean lunar month is y
! days, IL hours, Al minutes, , seconds, and
5.24 thirds.
A year is divided into 365 days.
solar year, which is the time occupied
by the sun in passing from one yernal
equinox to another, consists Of 365. .24244
solar days, or 365 days, hours, AZ mln-
utes, and 1866 seconds.
A Julian year is 1856 days. A GTegorlan
year ts 366.2425 days. Every fourth year
IS Bissextile, or leap year, and ia 366 days.
The error of the Gregorian computation
amounts to only one day in 3571. 1886 years.
BY the reformation OF the calennar by
Pope Gregory XII, the year began on
January l, and. consequently, when
ever and wherever the new style of reek-
onin9 time was adopted, then and there
the year commenced on this day. Pre-
viOus TO the use OF the Gregorian calen-
dar, the years had different days of be-
ginning at various times in the same and
different countries, and occasionally at
the same time in the same country. In
most countries 1t began on one OF the fol-
lowing days: Christmas day, December
%; Circumcision day, January J.;
Lady day, March 25; Easter day, the
day Of the resurrection of our Lord.
In England, in the seventh, and so late
as the thirteenth century, the year began
on Christmas day; but in the twelfth Gen.
tury the Anglican Church commenced the
year on March rs, as did also the civilians
of the fourteenth century. This continued
until 1852, the time OF adoption of the new
style. BY this appears that two modes of
reckoning the commencement Of the year
have generally existed in Great Britain
and its colonies, causing what is known
as the civil, ecclesiastical, or legal year.
and the historical year. The last named
OF these have commenced on Jan. for a
long period of time.

rHE APPRoAOH OF LENT.
Only Four Days More Before Asl
Wednesday and the Fasting Period.

Only Four Days More Before Ash
Wednesday and the Fasting Period.
Only tour days remain before Lent be-
gins. Tomorrow is Quinquagesima sun
day, the last Sunday before Ash Wednes-
day and the beginning of Lent, The sea-
son Ofsocial gayety is nearly closed. Ash
Wednesday is several weeks later this
year than usual, and in consequence Eas-
ter will not come until late in April.
Originally Lent began on what is now
the first Sunday in Lent; but. 1t being
found that when Sundays, as improper
tor fasting, were omitted, there remained
only 36 days, the period was made by Pope
Gregory 60 eommance four days earlier,
en- what has since been called Ash
Wednesday. The name, as is well known,
was derived from the notable ceremony on
that day in the Roman Catholic Church.
The day before Ash Wednesday, this
year on next Tuesday, is Sbrpge Tuesday,
name derived from the ancient practice
in the Catholic church OF eOntessing sins
and being shYiUed or shrO0e, that is, OBJ
tanning absOlution on this day. Being the
day prior TO the beginning Of Lent,
1t may fan on any date between Feb.
and March 10. The merriment
which characterized the day in FORM
Sr times began the day before, on what
was called collOp Monday, name derived
from the practice OF eating coll0ps OF
salted meat and eggs on that day. W ben
bhfoye Tuesday dawned the bells were
set aTinging, and everybody abandoned
himself to amusement and good humor.
All through the day, IN England, there
Was preparing and deYouring Of pam
cakes, as II some religious principle were
involved IN II. The pancake and ShrOye
tuesday are inextricably associated in
The popular minds and IN Old literature.
fhere were numerous 0bserYances of the
day, nearly all OF which have long since
become obsolete.

Those who were at Masonic Hall last
night passed most enjoyable evening.
The entertainment consisted of readings
OF humorous, heroic and pathetic char
aoter by Prof. X. L. CumnOek, of the
Northwestern University at Evanston,
Ill. Indeed, there has been no more en-
jOyable public entertainment of any kind
in this city for a long time. 1t was for
the benefit of the Georgia Teachers Home
at Monteagle, Tenn.
Prof. Cumnock has no superior in this
country as a reader. There are few, il
any, actors on the stage who are so well
able TO give force and expression to the
thoughts OF the best authors. He is well
known and highly appreciated in the
North and West, and is now making a
reputation in the South.
He gives only small part of his time
to reading. His duties as professor OF
elOeution require the greater part of IT at
the university.
Those who missed hearing him last
night missed a great treat. They will
have an opportunity, however. OF hearing
him next year, as it is understood that he
has been secured Tor the next lecture
