Macon Admitted to the League
at Work on the New Schedule.
The Savannah League team received a
severe drubbing by the Muscogeeans yes
terday. Wednesday was Savannahs day.
Yesterday was the visitors day. The
Columbus team started out with every
thing its own way, and at the end of the
second inning it had lead of nine runs.
Armstrong was in the box for the locals,
and had he stood there another inning the
visitors would have doubled their score.
They batted him right and left, and the
field was not big enough to hold the ball.
AT the third inning Butler went into the
box, and after that Columbus got but one
run. The score was 10 to 5.
Very nearly 1900 people saw the game.
1t was an enthusiastic crowd and the play
ers were cheered at every move. The wish

A TILTED LOVERS CLUB.
A Guyton Negro Tries it on the Woman
Who Gave Him the Shake.


A neatly dressed negro woman, with her
head closely tied up, applied at the drug
store of DR.. S. C. Parsons, yesterday after
noon, for treatment and to find out where
to look for the sheriff.
Her wounds seemed to give her much
pain and she said that she could not endure
it much longer. In her hand she carried a
huge club covered with blood
This" said She, after the wound was
dressed, lis the thing the coward used,
when he knocked me to the floor senseless. y
She told her story to DR.. Parsons
is Julia Robinson. She is employed
by Mrs Stubs at Guyton as a cook. The
negro with whom she had the difficulty is a
gardner for Mrs. Stubs. The two have
been for a long time cronies, but not many
DAYS ago the cook found another man and
the gardner was discarded. This angered
him and the woman said that he has been
waiting ever since for an opportunity to
end her existence
This came Sunday night, he thought,
when she refused to let him accompany her
to church, and went with the other man.
| He entered her room in her absence
and taking the lamp from the table
smashed it on the floor. After break
ing up the furniture generally he
secreted nlUSelI III the room, ana awaited
her return from church. When she babe
her lover goodby at the door and entered
her room, she stumbled over the bed, which
had been pulled to the middle of the room.
She felt her way over the scattered fur
niture, wondering whether she was in the
right room or not, and finally tripped over
the upturned center table and fell headlong
into the fireplace. She succeeded IN finding
match, and upon striking it, saw the man
that she had Tilted crouched in corner,
with a club in his hand
Thinking it was his ghost that had come
to kill her. she begun to scream. During
this time the ''ghost" was on his feet, and,
after dealing her one or two heavy blows
on the head, threw the club down and ran
away. She lay on the floor until after sun
rise the next morning, when she was picked
up and cared for by the family. A warrant
was issued for the would-be murderer, and
he was arrested, and, she says, was lodged
in Jail. He was released the same day on
BAIL and has not since been heard of.
Thinking the proper steps had not been
taken in the matter, she boarded the noon
train yesterday and come to Savannah to
have It looked into by the officials here.

GEN. ALEXANDER INTERVIEWED.
No Desire to be Quoted or Involved IN
the Terminal Dispute


The New York dispatches to the MORN
ING NEWS yesterday announced that
Gen. Alexander had withdrawn from the
Rice-Libby ticket, and had urged Mr. John
Il. Inman to take the Presidency of the Ter
minal. A MORNING NEWS reporter called
on the Centrals President to see if he had
anything further to say upon the subject
The general was found alone When
asked what he had to say regarding the
rumor in New York, he said that there is
nothing new beyond what he stated to
MORNING NEWS reporter, and published
April -, that he is not responsible for the
continued use of his name which had been
mentioned in connection with the I. rnlinal
dispute, beyond his choice in the matter, and
he has no further desire to be quoted in the
dispute in which he in nowise cared to be
personally involved. The General was
careful to add that he does not want to be
understood as declining to be interviewed,
for that might convey the idea that he is
keeping something hidden. This is not the
case. His position has been clearly stated
in the MORNING News, and there is nothing
that he can now say that will make it
clearer.
Finding that the President of the Central
had washed his hands of the Terminal tan
gle, the subject was dropped, and he was
asked if work had yet begun on the Buena
Vista extension to Columbus. In reply he
stated that the final surveys have not yet
been completed They are progressing ia
vorably, and work will not long be delayed
after the survey is completed. Referring
to the line westward from Eden, he said
that work is in progress.

A TEXANS WILD RACE.
Wagon Shaft Driven into the Heart
of a Valuable Horse


A delivery wagon driven by a negro
named Romeo Williams and drawn by a
spirited Texan broncho, that it was
claimed took fright from the music
of the McNish Minstrel band, collided
with a dray horse in front of John
Lyons store on Broughton street yesterday
forenoon. One of the shafts of the wagon
penetrated the heart of the dray horse, kill
ing it instantly.
Williams was driving down Bull street
with new stove in his wagon. When the
band frightened his Texan, Williams lost
control Of the reins and was thrown out of
the wagon, which lost hind wheel as it
turned West on Broughton street. A buggy
belonging to a Mrs. Bannon, and from
which two ladies had Just alighted, was
wrecked there and the stove was badly
smashed up.
The driver of the wagon, when he recov-
cred consciousness and came down on
Broughton street, whore he learned the
damage the runaway had done, abandoned
his property and took to the country, going
ten miles out, frightened out of his wits.
He was sent for, and looked like a scared
deer when a gentleman brought him TO the
MORNING News office last night to give his
version of the runaway.
The horse that was killed was a valuable
animal, and held at 5000. 1t was the
property of Mr.. T. p. Bond, who had let
Mr.. Lyons take him on trial until Satur-
day, at which time, if it suited Mr.. Lyons,
he was to have purchased it.
Mr.. Lyons attached the minstrel com
pany's property last night for $347, and
Manager johnson, of the Theater, signed
the minstrels' bond, and they were released.

B1LBo CANAL WILL FLOW ON.
The House Sewage Thing Not to Be
Laid This Year.

The grand jury of the Superior Court in
its presentment Of Wednesday morning
said:
We learn from the chairman of the City SAM
tary Committee that steps have been taken
looking TO the carrying off of the sewage of the
Bolton street sewer through the Bibo canal by
a 24-inch pipe, thereby doing away with the
open canal.
On the face of the statement it appeared
that the waters of the Bilbo canal we're
soon to cease their flow, but such, it APP
pears, is not to happep this season, if at all.
A MORNING NEWS reporter tried to get
the ear of Alderman Mills, chairman of the
Drainage Committee of Council, yesterday,
but that gentleman was at lis home in Guy
ton attending the memorial services Act
ing Mayor SchwarZ was seen and his atten-
ton called to the extract from the grand
jury's report. Maj Schwarz said that he
was not prepared to speak for the commit
tee which has the matter under considera-
ton, but he could say that he thought there
might be a Misrepresentation of the CHAIR
mans statement to the grand jury. He,
provement to the Bolton street system of
sewerage carried with it the idea Of ''doing
away with the open canal" If
he understood the subject Alright
the 2-foot drain pipe was for house drain
age only. Maj. Schwarz added further,
that the improvement will not be made this
season, in any event, as the piping cannot
be obtained in time. May / is at hand
beyond which time street excavations will
not be advisable nor permissible.

INTERESTING DAMAGE CASE.
A Verdict of S1,e8e So Against the
Phenix Insurance Company.

Phenix Insurance Company.
In the United States Circuit Court yester-
day morning, the jury rendered verdict
for S1,9S6 52 principal, with interest from
Jan. 10, 1886, and costs of suit, in favor of
the plaintiff, in the case of John D. Weld
vs.. The Phenix Insurance Company.
This suit was brought on a policy of
marine insurance TO recover damages to a
cargo of fertilizers. Mr.. Weld the con
signee of the cargo, instead Of disposing of
the damaged cargo at public sale or turn
ing 1t over to the underwriters, undertook
by a course of treatment to get rid Of the
surplus water in the goods and restore it to
its original condition. According to his
testimony, his treatment was so successful
that the fertilizers y ere restored to their
original condition, and were sold for as
much as if they had not been damaged.
The court held that, in such case, the
true measure of damages was not what ex-
perts might assess the damages at by an in
spection of the cargo in its damaged con-
ditIon, nor was it the difference between
the market price Of the goods before being
damaged and wnat it was afterward sold
for, but that the measure of damages was
the costs and expenses incurred by Mr..
Weld in restoring the damaged goods to
their first condition.
In the case of the United States VS.. Yves
ley Hunton. charged with violating the in
ternal revenue laws, a verdict of not guilty
was rendered
The case agaiI st Harrington, charged
with illicit distiuIng, will be tried next
week.
1t was r1Imored yesterday that Judge
Speer would be out Of the city to-day and
tomorrow, but the clerk could give no
official information.
