FELLED WITH A CLUB.
BOLD ROBBERY OF A STORE ON
THE AUGUSTA ROAD.

Monnigo Corcivich Beaten to Insensi'
bility in His Store by Fred Roland, a
Notorious Negro, at the Five-Mile
vich Found Lying in a Pool of Blood
Securing the Country for the Robber.
John Cincavich, who keeps a grocery
store at the five-mile bend on the Augusta
road, brought to the city, yesterday, the
news Of most brutal assault, Monday
night, on Mannigo Corcivich, his clerk.
Cincavich said that he left the store in
charge of his clerk while he came to town
to attend to some business. Shortly after
he left, Fred Roland, notorious negro,
went to the store and inquired for the pro-
prietor. Upon being told that he had gone
to town, the negro began to question
the clerk about the cash,
The boy thoughtlessly told him all
about the business and where the money
was
Roland hung around the store for awhile,
and finally asked the clerk for drink of
whisky. The boy poured out a drink in
glass, but Roland said he wanted some out
of a barrel across the room.
KNOCKED DOWN WITH A CLUB
The boy went across the room, and while
STOPPING TO draw the whisky, Roland dealt
him a heavy blow on the head and shoulders
with club The boy fell insensible to the
floor. Roland went through the money
drawer and took 800 in change and made
his escape.
A few hours later some member of the
family went to the store and found young
CorciViN lying in a pool OF blood. An
alarm wGs given and search was begun
for the perpetrator of the deed. The boy
was removed to his home, short distance
from the store He has been conscious
only once since he was struck, and it was
then that the story of the assault was
learned. Cinoavich missed about $50 from
the money drawer, and several pairs of
pantalOons.
HUNTING THE FUGITIVE.
The woods were secured, but no trace of
the fugitive was obtained. Cincavich came
to town yesterday morning and put Officer
McDermott on the case. Search was insti-
tuted, and the officer learned that Roland
was seen at Bloomingdale Wednesday. He
was in company with another negro, and
the two were Oh foot. Officers McDermott
and Harvey went up to Bloomingdale and
as far as NARROW, but they were unable to get
any trace of Roland. The citizens of Pooler
and other stations as far up as NARROW
were notified to be ON the lookout.
Roland is a desperate character. He shot
at Policeman Quinn five times a few
months ago. The officer caught Roland
and another man stealing brass from the
Central railroad box cars, and when he at
tempted to arrest Roland the negro opened
fire on him.
WANTED IN CAROLINA.
Roland came here from Allendale, S. c.,
about two weeks ago to escape arrest there.
1t was said that he was wanted there for
shooting man. He has been living in the
suburbs of the city since his return. He is
| about feet II inches in hight, brown skin,
bears a scar over the left eye and has cut
extending from his nose nearly down to
his mouth. He limps from a shot in the
hip. At last accounts young Corcivich was
in an unconscious condition.

GAILLARD WILL NOT GO.
THE SOUTH CAROLINA SHERIFF
MUST HAVE A REQUIsITION.

The Crime for which Paul Gaillard
alias Gillins is Wanted at Mount
Pleasant-The Prisoner Expresses a
Willingness to Go Back for Trial but
Changes His Mind when the Oflcers
Come for Him.
Sheriff VIM. NJ. Hale of Berkely county
South Carolina, reached Savannah yester
day for the purpose Of taking Paul Gaillard
(colored), alias Frank Gillins, charged with
assault with intent to murder, back to Mt.
Pleasant for trial. He returned last night,
however, without his prisoner. Gaillard
refused to go back to South Carolina until
requisition papers are secured.
Sheriff Hale telegraphed the condition OF
affairs to Gov. Richardson, and Gov. Cor
don was also advised. Gov. Gordon tele-
graphed Sheriff Roman to hold Gaillard until
requisition is obtained. When Officer
McDermott arrested Gaillard Monday
Gaillard said that he would go willingly
back TO South Carolina to trial, and Sheriff
Hale was wired to come on at once without
requisition papers.
REFUSED TO GO BACK.
In the meantime Gaillard was seen at the
Jail by an attorney, and he now
says that he will not go
without a requisition. His wife visited
him yesterday, and tried to persuade him
to accompany the sheriff back TO Mount
Pleasant, but Gaillard stoutly refused, say
ing that as he is not compelled to go at
once, he will put the officers 10 some trouble
before they get him there Sheriff Hale
was considerably put out about the matter,
but he said that he will have the requisition
in few days. Sheriff Hale recognized
Gaillard the moment he saw him. He said
that he had known him ever since he was a
very small boy, and that he was considered
an honest negro until his attempt on the
life of the old oysterman (Merine) on the
Mount Pleasant beach in 1881.
ROBBED HIS VICTIM
Gaillard robbed the old oysterman OF
$500 after he had dubbed him. The sheriff
said that at the time the deed was COM
mitted there was considerable excitement
at Mount Pleasant, and in all probability if
Gaillard had been captured he would have
been lynched. Sheriff Hale captured Gail
lard's brother, who was tried as an accom-
plice, and he is now serving his time. The
sheriff has been appraised of Gaillards
whereabouts for quite while, and has sent
to Savannah more than once to arrest him,
but each time the officer he sent was unsuc-
cessful. Marine, the man whom Gailard
tried to kill, is still living, but he bears the
marks on his head of the brutal assault
Public sentiment against Gaillard has sub
sided during the eight years time which
have elapsed
GAILLARD'S WIFE ARRESTED,
Gaillard's wife was arrested yesterday on
a warrant issued in Justice Endres' court
charging her with misdemeanor. A col
lector called ON her for S. rent that she
owed, and she refused to pay it, claiming
that her husband, who was i'll Jail, had all
the money. She moved her effects out of
the house and put them in a neighbours
house across the street, and when the col
lector had closed the doors and gone, she
ran across the street and broke down the
doors. She was released on bond, pending
examination.

MORE ASPHALT PAvEidENTs.

Bull Street from Bay to CASTOR, and
Bay from Drayton to Whitaker.
Alderman Thomas, chairman of the street
and lane committee, said yesterday that, if
present expectations are realized, he expects
in about two months from this time to in
troduce a resolution in the council to pro-
vide for the paving of Bay street, from
Drayton to Whitaker, and Bull street, from
Bay to CASTOR, with asphalt.
Alderman Thomas says that the paving
of Bull street with asphalt will do away
with all tho fences in the squares on that
street, except that around Wright square,
which, on account of the crowds that fill
the street from the square to be court
house. he thinks will have to stand for the
better protection Of the square.
There is great objection to the cobble-
stone pavement on the Bay, the noise from
passing vehicles being so great that mer-
chants find it difficult to hear or be heard
when their customers call, or to carry on a
conversation through the telephone.
1t is understood that a local company has
been organized, and a charter is to be APP
piled for, to lay the vulcanite asphalt pave
ment on Broughton and Liberty streets
under the contract between the city and the
Vulcanite Asphalt Paving Company. The
first assessment has been called for for pre-
lirninary work. The Savannah company is
represented by mon of capital and enter

Deep Sea Wonders.

These exist in thousands of forms, but
rarely does one hear that pianos are num-
bered among these curios. Yet, surprising
as this may be, yet more surprising is it to
learn that piano once adjoining the parlor
of Neptune should be reclaimed in such con-
dition as to make it possible to put it TO
further use as musical instrument. About
eight years ago Mathushek Piano, shipped
by the L. a. b. S. NJ. Il. to Fernandina,
Fla, weat down and remained several
weeks at the bottom Of the ocean. 1t was
raised, returned to Savannah, and found
solid as u rock" and has been out on rent
almost constantly ever since. 1t has been
subjected to the hardest usage imaginable
while on rent, but, Notwithstanding all this,
is still a good piano.
Is this not proof sufficient as to its dura-
bilityl The Luddeu 81 Bates S. NJ. II. are

WHEN The FRosTs COME.
An Early Winter Predicted-Dates Of
the Frosts.

The fact that killing frost is gem
orally admitted by medical authorities
to be the only thing that is likely
to stay the ravages of yellow fever
in Jacksonville has caused careful
investigation of the meteorological records.
The signal bureau records here give the
dates Of the frosts for consecutive years,
back as far as 1881, but they do not distin-
guish between light frost and killing frost.
The statistics before that are incomplete, but
for the past seven years they show that
frosts have appeared in Jacksonville fully
as early as in Savannah. The first light
frost appeared in Savannah and Jackson
vile last year on the same date. Oct. 81.
Jacksonville had a killing frost Nov. 81.
day later than Savannah. The following
table, from the Jacksonville Times Union,
shows the dates of earliest frost at Jackson
vile from September, 1871, TO the winter
of lSS7-'SS.
