The preliminary examination of o. A.

recommitted him to Jail in default Of bond,
but Weidner said bond will be forthcom-
ing to-day.
The morning session Of the court lasted
until O'clock, when an adjournment was
had until $3.50 o'clock. AT that hour the
case was argued by r. r. Richards, Esq,
for the defendant, and by Solicitor General
duBignon for the state.

the ball and the resultant death from
internal hemorrhage superinduced by
the severance of an artery. Louisa Dag
gett's testimony was in the line of that
before the coroner. John H. Deveaux,
notary public, identified an unsigned decla-

man on the morning of his death, and he
recollected and said In the afternoon that it

William Bitter, the English boy bar
tender, improved somewhat on his testi-
mony before the coroner, admitting under
cross-examinntion that he had not told all
the truth at the coroner's inquest, as he was
in hurry TO get back to the bar. He had
the real cockney brogue, and his parrot
"yessir," caused suppressed merriment
He was so rapid that the court stenographer
had to slow him up, as he talked at the rate
of about 800 words a minute.

The Savannah policy holders of the Ala
bama Gold life insurance company, held a
meeting at Capt D. G. Purses office yester-
day afternoon, for the purpose of agreeing
upon compromise with tie company. The

McCanon q Lewis, attorneys, of Mobile,
stating that movement Is being made to
settle up the company's affairs.
The liabilities Of the company are about
s6}S, eco, and the amount of capital is $780,
COO of which not over $3.50, 900 is now be-
lieved 70 be solvent. In the event Of judg-
ments, the per centage to the policy holders
would be about IS per cent The company
offered Is per ceut., and the attorneys in
slst that unless the policy holders come to
these terms, lengthy and tedious litigation
will follow, and that it is quite probable
that considerable portion Uf the sl20, 900
will become uncollectable. They urged
that it would be TO the interest OF the policy
holders to accept the terms proposed and
release the stockholders, who viii contribute
to the fund thus raised, from any further
liabilities. The attorneys stated in their
eter that the settlements will be paid ia
cash.
After some discussion the policyholders
agreen TO the terms. Some of them have
written McCanon & Lewis, investing them
with power TO close their claims with the
company. The meeting was quite largely
attended, and with one accord the stock
holders accepted the terms which the COM
pany has proposed.

UNCLE JAKE HARRINGTON.
An Old Augusta Road Rice Planter In
Court


Uncle Jake Harrington, an old gray
headed colored man, was in Justice Endres'
Office yesterday on charge of assault and
battery. The old mans wife accompanied
her husband to the magistrates office, and
sat patiently waiting for him during his
examination. He is rice planter out on
the Augusta road, and is a pretty well to do
old fellow. His neighbors say that he stays
at home and attends to his business.
Honesty is written on the old mans face.
When he got up and made his statement,
it went long way with the magistrate.
Il tell yo' jedge," he said, ''its nifty few
pussons dat | posters. But did tried ter
do somethin' tor dat sassy young niger
when he TUX an cuss me fur somethin' dat
be or'ter beg my pardin fur. Use honest. /
did tried ter do somethin' ter him, but yer
see. ied~e, lee ole, and could'en do muffin
ter hut i'm.
Isaac Royal (colored), an ugly young boy,
was the prosecutor. The difficulty grew
out of quarrel about fire which burned
up several bushels of Uncle Jake's rice
Royal did not deny that the fire was caused
by his carelessness, but he said that he was
going to teach the old man how to respect
people. This remark fred the old man, aud
when he made his statement he fairly
preached the young "buckrer's" funeral.
Uncle Jake acknowledged the charge of as
sault and battery and was bound over to
await the action Of the city court.

If Chatham does not yield now, Bryan, he
says, will make the issue at the polls.

Mr.. Smith is delegate to the convention
from Bryan, and he proposes to make a
hight for his county Mr.. Geiger, he says,
Is not candidate and never has been.
Mr. Smith. saw most of the Chatham
delegates yesterday. The delegation is
pretty well split up A part of it is in
favor OF nominating Bryan county man.
One or two delegates want Senator Wright
renominated, and the rest are in favor OF a
Chatham county man. w. w. Geiger is
the choice of the delegation If Bryan
county man is nominated. j. r. Saussy,

THE CONVENTION OUTLOOK.
1t is not as easy t. pick out the nominee
at Eden as it was the nominee at st. Louis,
and there Is a possibility that the Eden con-
ventlon will be in session as long as the st.
Louis convention was, but it is not OK
pected that it will equal tie Chicago pow

ton which nomipated Capt. Falligant met,

probable that such will be the case The
Chatham delegation will go up to Eden to-
