ARRESTED FOR A MURDER.
a Madison County Fugitive Captured
in Florida.


Sheriff F. B. Scarborough, of Madison
county, passed through Savannah yester-
day from Orlando, Fla, with young man
tied securely with rope and handcutfed.
The officer and his prisoner hurried from
the savannah, Florida and Yves tern depot
TO the Central depot, in the hope of getting
a train to Macon, but finding that there
was none until $50 last night, they took
matters easy the rest of the day.
The prisoner was A. II. Strickland. He
is charged with the murder of a negro boy
in the little town of Dowdy, Madison
county, two years ago. After the crime he
fed from the county and went to Kssim-
NEE, Fla, and from there to Orlando, where
he was engaged in the saw mill business
until two weeks ago, when he was arrested.
In speaking of the crime, he said that in
November, 1885, three negro boys were
suspected of breaking open and robbing the
store of j. w. Seymore, of Dowdy. Strick-
land and four Others were deputiZed to
accompany the bailiff and arrest them.
They arrested the boys. and while on their
way to Jail, tried to compel them to
acknowledge the theft and robbery. The
boys denied it, but so sure We're the officers
that the boys were guilty, that they whipped
them severely, but could get no confession
out of them.
The negros were lodged In Jail, and within
ten days afterward one of them died, pre-
sumably from the whipping. This alarmed
the bailif and those whom he deputized
to assist him, and they fed the neighbor-
hood. No clue to any Of them was had
until about two weeks ago, when Sheriff
Scarborough received information that
Strickland was at Orlando, Fla. Strickland
denied having had hand in whipping the
Buys. He said that the other men who did
fHa WHINING ctaf I'D a,,d
that he will have no trouble in proving
that his hands were clear of murder. The
prisoner is % years of age, not
of mean appearance, and is
pleasant spoken. He said that he has
accumulated a little of something at the
saw mill business, and would soon have
been running a mill Of his own. When
asked why he ran away from Madison
county, he said:
II was mere boy, and was frightened
into it by the others, who ran away at the
same time | know am accessory to the
crime, but l only oheyed the orders
received from the bailiff, who deputized me
to assist in the arrest of the boys.

SOLDIERS ON TIE STAGE.
The Little zouaves Given q Rousing
Benefit

A complimentary benefit was given to
the Savannah Busch Zouaves at the Thea
ter last night, and was witnessed by large
audience, which showed its appreciation by
frequent applause. The military of the
city was well represented. The following
companies were present in a body: Savan-
nah Cadets Republican Blues, Irish Jasper
Greens and German Volunteers A few
members of the Chatham Artillery and
Georgia Huzzars were also present, in mi
form.
The Zouaves, in their drill, under com
mand OF Capt Addie Marmelsteiu, and the
sixteen young misses, in the tambourine
din, under command cf Miss Lottie
Roberts, captain, we're the chief attra ctions
of the evening, The programme commenced
with the Zouaves on the Marcia noon
day halt in camp, false alarm-with reel
tation by the vivandiere of the corps, Miss
NJ. s. Raines, after which came the first
tableau. It was noticeable how
proudly and steadily the Zouayes
marched, and that they had a very soldierly
appearance In their handsome uniforms
and knapsacks. In the execution of several
difficult and novel movements they showed
much alacrity and cleverness, and they
went through the evolution generally with
martial precision and grace.
The sixteen young misses who took part
in the tambourine drill presented fine APP
pearauce in their gypsy costumes. Many
of the movements were difficult, but all of
them were gracefully executed
The piano quartette selection, The Invi
tation Waltz" from Weber, was novel
arrangement and was exceedingly we'll
done.
The players kept we'll together and the
effect was the same as if the piece was
played by one pianist on one piano. The
performers were Mes~rs NJ. Steward,
Julian Walker, Thomas Richards and E.
B. Whitehurst
Mr.. jeff d. Miller sang a tenor solo
Twill % the Wispn by Cherry. 1t was SO
we'll done that the audience recalled him
and he gave Pinsuti'S charming ballad Fly
Forth, 0 Gentle Dove" Mr.. Miller possesses
a smooth, clear voice which cannot cor
rectly be called tenor robusto. 1t is
rather high baritone Of good quality
which has been cultivated judiciously.
Miss Maggie Oliver sang LA Zinperella,"
by r. Campana, which was admirably done
and evoked much applause. Miss Oliver
sings with correct taste and musical express
sion. She was complimented last night
with offerings of flowers, but the audience
could not prevail upon her to sing again.
Mr.. Ed l.. Brown was well re-
ceived in his original Komkalities
He sang, by special request, "Ah Sid"
one verse being in Chinese. In answer to q
hearty encore he reappeared, dressed Ia
mode, and sang in a very engaging manner,
Pm dude, don't you see" which kept the
audience laughing until 1t could laugh no
more He was repeatedly recalled, so
great was the enthusiasm of the audience
The closing tableau by the Busch Zouaves
was very effective. II was entitled "Our
Bold Soldier Boys" The entertainment
was interesting and delightful Throughout,
and will be repeated at the matinee to-day.

THE FIRST VERDICT REPEATED.
The Jury Awards John II. Fox S ! 500
In the Big Slander Suit


When the City Court convened yesterday
morning judge Harden charged the jury
at length in the Fox Henderson SANDER suit
fer damages, and at 1905 o'clock the jury
went to their ROOM AT o'clock D. m.
after being out three hours and fifty-five
minutes, il came in with verdict for the
plaintiff and assessed the damages at 81, 500
The case was tried at former term OF
the court, went to the Supreme Court end
was by that court remanded for a new trial
1t is a rather remarkable coincidence that
the jury yesterday should assess the
damages at the same figure as the former
jury fixed it.
The case was ably conducted, and every
inch of ground was closely contested in
trial occupying ono week, the argument
alone taking up the time of Fridays session.
The plaintiff in tho case is a son-in-law of
the defendant, and tho hasty and defama-
tory speech of the father-in-law, growing
out of partnership relations, led to family
arrangement and long-continued litigation,
and the friends of both the principals ex-
press relief that the case has finally been
disposed of.
