BAD NANCY KINNEY.
a Vicious Assault upon One OF Her
Neighbors Lands Her in Jail.

a Vicious Assault upon One OF Her
Neighbors Lands Her in Jail.
There was considerable excitement last
night, about 7 o'clock, in Jones street lane,
three doors from Habersham street, over
the vicious assault of Nancy Kinney, a
negro who is the terror of that locality,
upon Capt. H. Y Righton, baggage master
Of the Savannah, Florida and Western
railway. The lane gate of Capt. Rightons
yard opens out near the door Of the cabin
| occupied by the Kinney woman. Last
night Capt. Righton's son Willie complained
that Nancy's son Henry had struck him
with stick in the square, on Habersham
and Taylor streets. AS This was not the
first complaint Willie had made to his
father Of the negro boys assaults upon him,
Capt. Righton went to the door of Nancys
house to report the matter and TO tell her
she should punish her son, and II the
assaults were repeated he would take out
warrant for him. The mother began tor
rent of abuse, and the boy, aged II, became
very impudent Capt Righton told him to
hush and started to push him il the house
so he could reason with the mother, when
the woman rushed in, and coming out with
club struck vlciously at Capt Righton's
head. He threw up his left arm and caught
the blows on his shoulder. Willie, seeing
the peril of his father, ran into the yard and
got an ak and put it in his fathers hand.
This was near the door, and Capt.
Righton, with the uplifted ak, advanced on
the woman until he drove her into the
house, slamming the door violently against
the ak, which split the panel. Thinking
the woman would trouble HIM no more,
Capt. Righton started home, but the vixen
threw open the door and advanced on the
captain again, crying out to her son Henry
to bring the pistol out of the house so she
could shoot him. Meantime boy had
been sent for a policeman, and within a
few minutes four mounted police were there
and Nancy was taken to the barracks She
was notified by her landlord a week ago
that she must leave the house owing to the
disturbances she and her boy created.
Nancy couldn't keep her tongue on the
way to the barracks. but gloried in the
assault she had made on Capt. Righton.
The latter said to a MORNING NEWS re-
porter last night that he had not the re-
hottest idea of difficulty when he went to
see Nancy about her sons assault. He said
he kept pistol in his house, and if he had
thought that she would have assaulted him
in this manner, he certainly would not have
gone uuarmed. The lane was impossible
from the crowd that blocked it up while the
officers were waiting for the woman to put
on her "Sunday clothes" to go to the bar
racks Capt. Righton will have a warrant
issued for assault with intent to murder.

The Best Time to Buv Valuables.

This is the dull season of the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes-but it doesn't go far. The purchasing
power of dollar now is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade. In word, we are now inclined
to give very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months we have added to our
stock in various ways, new ideas, new con-
ceits. new tricks and quips in jewelry, and
so on. We've got to keep up, you know
with the strides of inventive and artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as intimated, we ,ciU sell uerg
close to move some of it. This is a good
tise to renew household articles Solid
SILVER table ware, superb plated ware.
ornamental goods. For personal use or
adornment we offer line par eccelLence of
Ladies' fine Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies Watches, Chains and
Charms, Gents Watches and Jewelry, etc
All of these articles can be bought cheaper
now than when trade gets brisker. Some
body will get married next fall-buy the
presents you intend to give no,U. They
will keep, and you will save money.

A COMPLICAT. D CASE.
Winnie Bryant to Haze an Examina'
ton To-day at Sylvania.

William Clifton, Esq, left for Sylvania
last night to attend, as counsel for Winnie
A. Bryant, her preliminary examination
there on the warrants alleging assault
with intent to murder r. r. Williams on
April 81, and larceny after trust" and
''simple larceny alleged to have been
committed June g.
The action of Williams, coupled with the
charge she makes against him, has kindled
great interest in the case, and Solicitor Cen
eral duBignon has communicated with the
SCriVen county authorities in the matter.
Williams arrested the woman here without
warrant, and he was the prosecutor.
Finding that he was about to get in trouble
he left the city, and the mayor discharged
the woman the following morning.
The warrant Tor assault was taken out
April 25, and Williams the prosecutor, ar
rested the woman I Scriven county, as sh g
alleges, and took her TO his home. After
the trouble here Williams sent down the
warrant TO Detective Wetherhorn, but the
date of the warrant had been changed from
April p TO June IL, making the date of Its
issuance six days later than the warrants
on the larceny charges. 1t looked suspicious
to the officers here that if the assault was
committed April 25 Williams should trust
the woman to come to Savannah to buy
price Of her passage both ways would nearly
reach that sum. But as he had come on the
Thursday before and tried to persuade her to
go back and live at his house, and she had re-
fused, the warrants looked like persecution
Of the woman. 1t is held to be illegal for a
prosecuting witness to serve a warrant, and
the manner in which he acted here in ar
resting the woman and then going off
without auy explana ton caused those
familiar with tho facts to look with some
suspicion upon the charges. Warrants will
be served on Williams to-day, and he will
be brought back to Savannah to answer for
his connection with tho affair on the Sun
day when at the point of the pistol, he
dragged Winnie Davis from the house on
Lumber street, where she had taken refuge
Mr.. Clifton is in possession of all the
facts, and has gone on to defend the woman
and see that all her rights are pro
tected Her preliminary examination will
not take place before the magistrate who
issued the warrant for assault, whom Mr..
Clifton will use as a witness.

CONSIDERING ASPHALT BIDS.

President Alexander's Company Seems
to Have the Inside Track.
The City Council was in session yester
day considering bids for the asphalt paving
of Liberty, Barnard and Broughton streets.
The members were non-committal as to the
result of their action further than that they
would meet again to-day It has leaked
out, however, that the matter was appar-
emily settled yesterday by an understand
ing that the Nulcanite asphalt pavement
will be adopted provided that some security
can be given as to its durability. As Gen,
Alexander, as trustee, made the bid. it is
thought there will tie no trouble about the
guarantee. The engineer at Washington
estimates the annuakcost for repairs at less
than cents per square yard for fourteen
years, and TO cost only 81 o. TO resurface.
The company guarantees TO keep it in re.
pair for five years. If the Nulcanite asphalt
is used it is thought the 81 inch pavement
will be adopted. The bids for this is Sc 35
per square yard.

cotton in the picker room burning After
some little extra work they put the fire out.

a spark from the machinery. The factory

frightened until they found it was not the
main building that was on fire. About q
bale OF lint cotton was burned. The loss is
