John r. Ward Fails to Prosecute and

an Attachment Issued for Him.
There was an interesting preliminary
examination in Justice Waring Russell, ,Jr. IS
Court yesterday afternoon, which was
adjourned over until 10 O'Clock this morn
ing and an attachment for contempt was
issued to bring the prosecuting witness,
John r. Ward, into court.
Herman Cohen was arrested, charged with
cutting Ward on May l, in an Ann street
joint, kept by Jennie Folcher, who
the wife of a Chinese laundryman.
Two visitors to the ranch were examined
by Justice Russell and their testimony
was taken down, as was the evidence of the
Folcher woman, Mamie Mordecai, lodger,
and Lulu Scott, a next-door neighbor, and
the statement of Cohen. The evidence of
all the witnesses was about the same, like
twin peas in a pod, and to the effect that
Ward is a big man and a bad man, who
was spelling for a fight, and that Cohen,
although a butcher by trade, is a mild
hammered man. incapacitated from warlike
exploits by an accidental cut in his arm,
received while engaged at his trade.
Ward went into the Folcher resort and
shook his index finger under the nasal organ
of the peace-loving Cohen. The two
adjourned to the yard whore Ward per-
fnltUed Cohen TO cnoKe MN, ana bnen DToKo
away and went back TO the society of
Jennie and Mamie, where he was followed
by Cohen, and Ward again agitated
his digits in Cohen's face. Ward, 1t was
learned, was not at that time stabbed. If
he was a victim of the knife he might have
received it in an affray at the house of
negro across the street
Justice Russell evidently considered that
there was some pretty hard swearing done,
for he would not discharge Cohen, as he
wanted to hear Wards testimony. Cohen
not only denies the cutting, but denies hav-
ing a knife in his possession. All the
parties are white, and Ward is said to be a
sailor. Up to dark last night the officers
had not been able to discover his where
abouts. He relied upon the inmates Of the
house where the affray took place to testify
differently, and had them subpenaed for
the State

THE CENTRAL LOSES A SUIT.
A City Court Jury Awards Damages
for Freight Charges.

The case of John R. Whitehead VS.. the
Central Railroad and Banking Company
for $3.50 damages was tried in the City
Court yesterday, and the jury brought in
a verdict for plaintiff for $95 and the costs,
which was settled within half an hour after
the verdict was rendered, and is one of the
promptest settlements known about the
court house.
The plea of the plaintiff was to the effect
that under an und arstandiug with the Cen
tral that the freight would be only 800 the
plaintiff had purchased a carload of cab
bage in Chicago for transmission to Savan-
nah. When the cabbage reached its destina-
ton the purchaser was unable to get his
freight until he paid $3.50, and owing to the
perishable character of the goods he paid
under protest the sum demanded, and after
ward brought suit.

ESTABLISHING A PRECEDENT.
An Assignee Must show Cause Why
He Should Not Give Bond.

An Assignee Must show Cause Why
He Should Not Give Bond.
A somewhat unusual petition came up for
hearing in the Superior Court yesterday.
1t was a petition for rule nisi for an
assignee to come into court and show cause
why he should not give a bond. The
petition was granted, and Wall T. Thomp-
son, assignee of 10 G. Thompson, was
erdered to appear and answer tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock. Legal service was
acknowledged by Lester & Ravenel, coun-
sci for the assignee.
The petitition recites that Wall T.
Thompsonis the assignee of 10 C.. Thomp-
son, and that the petitioners are creditors
OF j. {. Thompson, and believe from state
ment of his affairs and financial condition
confirmed by the assignee, that the assets,
if properly and carefully handled and man
aged, can be made to yield large sum of
money to be distributed among petitioners
over and above all amounts preferred un-
der the assignment. The assets consist
largely of open accounts, secured and un-
secured, which, if collected, the petitioners
claim would realize a sum suffi-
cient to meet all the liabilities
of J. c. Thompson. The collection, it is
claimed, is entirely dependent upon the skill,
prudence and care shown by the assignee
and that any remissness or negligence on his
part will seriously ieOpardize and damage
the interests of the petitioners, as it is
chiefly to the open accounts that the petit
TONERS arc compelled To look for a recovery
of any portion of their demands. If not
pushed vigorously and promptly, the petl-
tioners say that they are without remedy.
