MUCH MARITAL INFELICITY.
How One Woman Can Pile Up Litiga-
ton in Three Courts


A very amusing episode broke the mo-
notony in the City Court yesterday m orn-
ing. The wife of Henry johnson was prose
cutting her husband for breach of the
peace, or rather for threats to her person
She said that she wanted to be protected.
When Johnson was asked what he had to
say, he replied:
Judge, loves dat omen, and wouldn't
hahn har OBJ her head. loves de very
house whar sine STAY at Decd | caAt keep
away from her, l loves her so. No, sab, /
wouldn't hahn her, dough / know she don't
love me-"
The court seemed to be impressed with
the lugubrious wall of the discarded hus-
band, for after warming the defendant to
stay away from his wife if they couldn't
live peaceably together, he discharged the
prisoner.
Later in the day johnson visited the
office of Justice Molina and accused Joe
Williams Of alternating the affections of his
wife. He said that Williams hal taken his
wife to Brunswick, and had done great
deal TO widen the breach between them, and
when he had upbraided Williams for his
acts the latter wanted ito do him up"
johnson swore out peace warrant upon
the advice of Acting Solicitor General Os-
borne.
Johnson's wife has been the cause of
much litigation. 1t was her testimony in
the Superior Court that sent Mitchell to
the changing for a year for appropriating
the money from the sale of furniture sold
TO get johnson off the chain-gang Eddie
Rose, brother of Johnson's wife, is now
under bond for cutting johnson, near the
corner of jefferson and Torch streets, after
he got off the gang, and went to bis mother
in-law's to cali on his wife. All the parties
are negroes.

He was there in custody to plead to tho
charge OF larceny and gambling. The grand

chance. slipped off the prisoners bench, and
mingling with the grand jurors, passed out

Sheriff Desvergers only learned yesterday
morning where he could be found, and sent
the bailiff after him

THE CHICKEN PLANT.
Something New Presented by an An
derson Gardener.

SOmSJnlng new PreS6nJoQ Oy an An
derson Gardener.
anderson g. c. Special TO AUGUSTA Chronicle.
Mr.. J. B. Lewis, of this city, few days
ago discovered growing in his garden an
entirely new weed in this part of the
country. 1t is certainly a very peculiar
one He says it grows about 3 or 4 feet
high, aud is jointed something like cane
and branches out at every joint. The
novelty about the plant is that between
every joint it exudes a gummy substance
that is very adhesive. A few DAYS ago he
discovered that three chickens had
been caught by this plant, and it was inn
possible for them to get away. Mr.. Lewis
tried TO pull the chicGens from the plant,
but they would not pull, and he had to take
a knife and cut them away. The plant has
very strong roots and does not bloom but
it produces numerous seed pods. Since Mr..
Lewis has discovered this peculiar weed,
Mr.. E. A. Bell has also discovered a few
plants of it in his garden and around it he
discovered several dead chickens that
had been caught by it. One of
the chickens was alive. He had to take a
knife and cut the feathers from the chicken
to get il away. Mr.. Lewis has sent this
strange plant to the Commissioner Of Agci-
culture at Washington, with the hope that
he may find out something about it. Mr..
Lewis thinks that this plant will be- valu;
able TO the farmers to plant in their corn
to catch crows.
Messrs. Becky, Brown 81 Co. have on
exhibition at their store a mammoth, gourd
which will hold thirteen and one-half gal

TIRING OF THE COAL MINES.

Spanish John Protests His Innocence
and Wants an Executive Pardon.
John Roderiquez, alias Spanish John"
finds life in the coal mines irksome, mo-
notonous and altogether unlovely. One of
his attorneys received a lengthy, illiterate,
yet very earnest letter from John yester-
day, in which he appeals to the attorney TO
take steps to bring about pardon by the
Governor. lie wants ''partishun" circu-
lated among the people asking for pardon
on the ground Of bis 'innersense" of the
crime of murder for which he was con
victed and sentenced for life. He says that
he never killed the man, and it is a great
wrong to be deprived of his liberty for an
act of which he is guiltless. He believes if
the facts are properly presented that he
will yet regain his freedom.

ON RAIL AND CROSSTIE.
Local and General Gossip in Railway
Circles.


Canada claims the dining-car and the
bathroom car as Canadian inventions
The Southern Pacific Company now con-
trolls and operates 5,576 miles of railways,
besides 1920 miles of steamer lines, and its
earnings last year reached the enormous
sum of $l5,21S.000.
There are now, it is stated by the Electric
Age, $50 miles of electrical railways in
operation on this continent and at least $50
miles more under construction or contracted
for. This mileage has nearly all been built
within one or two years.
Three routes have been surveyed for the
proposed East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia extension to jacksonville, Fla The
first was from the Sand Hills or Mount
Pleasant, d point about half wav between
Jesup and Brunswick, on the East Tonnes
see, Virginia and Georgia road. The dis
tance from Mount Plea ant, which is about
nineteen miles south of JeSup, to the
Florida Railway and Navigation passenger
depot i'll Jacksonville is about seventy-eight
miles, or about ninety-seven miles from
Jacksonville to JeSup by this line. In the
construction of the road by this route it
would be necessary to build at least four
drawbridge5-one over the Satillo, one over
the st. Mary's and two others-not includ-
ing the bridge over Trout creek and long
stationary bridge. This line passes through
a barren and sparsely settled section.
The second route runs direct to Jesup, cross
ing the st. Marys river abo e navigation.
This line would do away with the need for
expensive bridges, and the distance would
be 9S15 miles. The third route starts from
HaZlehur,t, between Brunswick and Ma
con, fortv-six miles northwest of Jesup, and
ran another direct line to jacksonville.
From Hazlehurst to Jacksonville is 100
miles and the line rms through a fertile
and populous section of country, and avoids
the necessity OF constructing expensive
bridges. This last line crosses the Way
cross road near Blackshear and the Florida
Railway and Navigation road west of
HATS road.

THE GALATIANS AT TYBEE
Negotiating for Site for a Club Hous
and Pleasure Grounds


The Chatham Artillery is negotiating
with the Tybee Beach Company for a site
for club house and pleasure grounds at
the south end of the island. If the Chat
hams can secure the site that they want, a
commodious club house and dancing pavil-
ion will be erected and grounds Will be ar
ranged for artillery practice.
There has been as yet no building at the
south end of the island. If the Chathams
are successful in their negotiations with the
Beach Company they will begin work at
once and will probably have their club
house or portion of it ready for occupancy
by the Fourth of July, when the company
holds its annual practice. The grounds will
front on the creek running up from the
south beach. The artillery practice grounds
will be on the south beach.
The Galatians heretofore have had their
picnics and practice at Beaulieu, but for
some time they have been considering the
securing of a club house and grounds of
their own. If the deal with the Beach
Company is successful it will probably be
cOnSummated in few DAYS

The Fire the Work of Incendiaries.
Fire broke out yesterday morning, about
$50 o'clock, in the grocery store of r. j.
Maggie, at the northeast corner of Duffy and
Jefferson streets. 1t had been burning
some time before the flames broke out on
the outside, and excited attention. An
alarm was sounded from station No. IS, at
Duffy and Montgomery streets, and the
Protection Hose carriage and No. steamer
responded. Some delay was caused by the
impression that box 40 was sounded, but
when the engine reached the scene of the
fire the flames were speedily extinguished
Mr.. Maggie thinks that the fire was
the work of an incendiary, as
can of kerosene was found in the southeast
corner of the store, and there the fire
started The stock of goods was badly
damaged The exterior of the building,
with the exception of a scorching, was not
injured. An organ belonging to the Order
of Rechabites, in the hall overhead, was
somewhat damaged by smoke and water.
The insurance on the building and contents
amounted TO $1,000, and was in companies
