A BUSY DAY IN COURT.
Eleven True Bills Found-No More
Afternoon Sessions.

Contrary to the general expectation the
grand jury in the superior court failed 70 go
into the election of ex-officio justices yester-
day, but after bringing in their present
ments they asked and obtained the leave OF
the court to adjourn until 10 o'clock this
morning They may adjourn for the term
to-day.
There was host of witnesses, and the
gallery and corridors up stairs were crowded.
There were thirteen preSentments, with
eleven true bills and two mo bills, but the
indictments are held until the grand jury
completes its work
The judge said yesterday that owing to
the oppressive heat court will convene for
the rest of the term at O'Clock in the
morning, taking recess at late dinner
hour aud holding no afternoon sessions. 1t
Is thought that the term viii not continue
more than ten or fifteen days.
The case of the state VS. John Proctor,
occupied nearly the whole time of the court
yesterday. Proctor was on trial for assault
with intent to murder William Bradley, at
a colored festival, and was acquitted. The
woman at whose house the festival was
given gave a very humorous account OF the
festival, and there was a laugh on the
policeman when she said that it only cost 10
cents TO get in and wine and cake free was
passed around, and she said the policeman
came in and had his wine and cake just like
the rest OF them. The jury was out about
an hour before it agreed upon its verdict.
A case is assigned to-day which has had
previous mention In the MORNING NEWS.
1t is a case against Mary Jane Simmons
(colored) for an assault upon little white
boy named Joseph Webster Judge Har-
den Of the city court is the prosecuting
witness, He and member of the bar were
passing through one Of the squares not
long since, and noticing the assault rebuked
the girl, who did not cease her brutality,
but gave the judge and his companion an
impudent reply. Judge Harden swore out
a warrant for her arrest and she was in
dicted by the superior court grand jury.
Yesterday a jury was irnpaneled to try
the case, when the solicitor general learned
that the lad was not present in court, so the
case went over until 9 o'clock this morning,
to which time the court took a recess.

Senator Wright Ia Not Seeking the
Nomination, but Will Not Refuse 1t.
MARROW, GA, July 1O.-Editor Morning
Ne'os: Your article of yesterday, headed
"Want TO he Senators, =" does me Injustice by
putting me in the attitude of seeking the
senatorial nomination. l am sorry that
Judge Russell forgot 10 give the date of our
correspondence which. i think was in
January-certainly not later than Febru-
ary-and before anyone, except himself,
had troubled the senatorial waters Nv
letter 10 him was written in good faith.
and was only intended, as il explicitly
stated, TO express my personal sympathy
with his senatorial aspirations Good faith
would certainly forbid my entering into
scramble for the nomination, but ny views
of political ethics are not sufficiently Ar
cadian 70 underst and why person should
be debarred from accepting nomination.
If voluntarily rendered simply lecause he
had declined 10 scramble and intrigue for
It, This would DO TO punish him for what
have always thought political virtue.
While upon this subject desire my posi-
ton 10 be fully understood | 10 not ex-
pect, and certainly shall not seek the nomi-
nation, but IL the people of Chatham should
get such an unexpected within in their
heads as 20 send n delegation 10 the senate
rial convention in favor OF my nomination.
] can't see why il would be bad faith toward
Judge Russell for me TO accept IL, simply
because l have expressed a preference for
him.
While dealing with this subject in a spirit
Of candor may be- permitted 20 add that.
viewed in the light OF recent developments,
this expression OF my personal preference
for the judge might, perhaps, justly evoke
adverse criticism from other SOURCES, bit

City Life Didn't Agree With Them.

Elias Marshall (coored) was arrested at
the Ocean steamship wharves yesterday,
and taken to Justice Russelrs court, whore
he was informed that his wife Sarah had
sworn out warrant charging him with a
misdemeanor. She claimed that Marshall
had abandoned his child. Marshall, who
appeared to be rather respectable colored
man, stated that the child to whom
his wife had reference, was at
the home of his wife's mother, and that his
wife had no knowledge of the child's wants
lie produced lot Of express receipts show
Jug that packages were sent the child every
week or two. Marshall and his wife lived

THE WEATHER LETS UP.
Mercury Fails to get Above 93'-A Hot
Wave in the West

There was quite let up in the weather
yesterday, not only at Savannah, but
throughout the cotton belt region. The
highest that mercury went here was 93'

Savannah district and that was Balm

average highest temperature for the district
was 90. The Augusta and Charleston
districts both reported the same tempera-
ture as Savannah. The rain which
fell late in the afternoon and last night
cooled of the air, and the night was de-
lightful. There is a suspicion that the hot
wave that has swept over the entire south
came from the home of the winter billiards
up in the northwest. At Bismarck, Oak
mercury was up to go at 8 O'Clock last
night, while at Savannah it was down to

ACCUSED OF WITCHCRAFr.

Mitchell jackson Attributes the Alien
alton of His Wife to Witchery.
An interesting case was argued on demur-
rer in the city court yesterday, and the
demurrer was overrulcd, so that the case
must be heard hereafter on the law and the
facts. Mitchell jackson sued William
Smith for damages for alternating the wife
of plaintiffs bosom by witchcraft. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that the parties to
the suit are colored, and all the amusing
features of African superstition will no
doubt be brought out in the cross examina-
ton. The defendants counsel r. K.
Richards, has keen sense of humor, and
he will doubtless puncture the witchcraft
bubble during the progress Of the case.

KNIGHTS OF ARCHERY AT LAW.
Two of Them Want $500 Each in a
SANDER Suit.

A case of some interest is assigned for
trial in the city court to-day. Reuben Nor
ris and William T. Davis bring suit for Sian
der with constructive damages of $500 each
against James Dorsey. The petition of
plaintiffs attribute to defendant the use Of
the following slanderous language, to-wit:
This order ('neaning the grand united
order Of the Knights Of Archery, of which
lie is Il member) would have been one of the
grandest orders in the city Of Savannah if
it had not been robbed by Reuben Morris
aud w. I. Davis there three times"
The trouble it appears grew out of some
differences at the receipts from an excur-
sion given 10y the order, and also money
paid i'll for the purchase of badges. The
plaintiffs are represented by w. w. Os-
borne, and the defendant by Z. j O'Connor

The Best Time to Buy 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 a 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 trick0 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 19iU sell very
close to move some of it. This is good
time to renew household articles. Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware,
ornamental goods For personal use or
adornment we offer line par excellence cf
Ladies fine Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies' Watches, Chairs 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 noW. They
will keep, and you will save money.

Hopsls,,Ix Burnsd BY Gasoline.

Oil CITY, Pa, July 5.-This evening, at
the Union Refinery, gasoline still sprung
leak and the contents drained slowly In.
to sewer that enpties into Cornplanter
Run, a short distance below the works.
The gasoline soon covered the surface Of
the stream for distance Of five hundred
feet, passing under four railroad tracks
and the highway. In some manner the in-
flammable stuff was ignited, and In an In.
stant the surface was a mass Of fame,
which quickly ran back to the mouth OF
the sewer, wherei it was held In chock. Two
boys namod Cullis were playing near the
river at the time, and both were horribly
burned. The elder, aged about fifteen
years, was burned almost to crisp, the
flesh hanging in shreds from his limbs.
His clothing was entirely burned from his
body. Death is momentarily expected.
The other, a younger boy, Is terribly
burned about the nrius, head and face, and
his recovery Is extremely doubtful. Two
empty tank cars standing OH the track ex-
ploded with terrific force, hurling pieces Of
iron hundreds Of feet In the air. Four tank
cars were burned and slight damage done
to the railroad tracks.
