LEAP YEAR COMPLICATIONS.

Justice Patterson Has a Case That
Puzzles the Judicial Mind.
A rather knotty matrimonial case came
up this week in Justice Patterson's court.
That the principals in the suit are colored,
does not lesson the complications growing
out of the case. A colored woman giving
her name as Miss Julia Broughton, taking
advantage of leap year, proposed to John
Reynolds, a copper-colored citizen, and he
consented to a union, provided that Julia
would bear the expense of marriage GER
tificate. Accordingly Julia appeared before
the ordinary on the Sd instant, and took out
and duly paid for license, but when the
parties appeared before Justice Patterson to
be joined in wedlock, Reynolds, whose love
had grown cold, refused to wed, and then
Julia entered a charge against her lover of
loving not wisely but too we'll He gave
bond until Oct. 16, at which time he says he
can prove that Julia is already the wife of
a South Carolina freedman. Julia admits
a kind Of marriage to man of color in the
Palmetto state, but she says the marriage
ceremony was conducted by meeting
house man, who had no authority to sol
emnize marriages, and that therefore the
marriage oughtnt to count Meantime
Justice Patterson holds the marriage
license, awaiting the developments which
Reynolds promises on Oct. 16.

Jack Grower, a Bulloch County Crimi-
nal, Before q Higher Court.
Intelligence was received here yesterday
of the assassination of Jack Grower (col-
ored), in Bulloch county, by I'M
known parties. Grower will be
remembered as the negro arrested in this
city last month by Constable McDermott
OH a warrant from Buiioch county, charg-
ing Grower with hog stealing, The sheriff
of the county came down to Savannah after
him and took him back to Bulloch, where
he gave bond. He returned to Savannah
after his plumber, and day or two before
the state election he called at Justice
Endres' Office for bundle of clothing left
there and informed the justice that the
was going back to Bulloch county to live,
and intended TO return a favor to the
sheriff by electioneering for him on the
day of the election. This was the last heard
of Grower here until the news of his death
was received yesterday. 1t is supposed that
the boldness Of Grower in returning to the
scene of his depredations upon the stock
led to dealing with him in the la wless, vet
summary way which left him dead on the
highway with no clew to his murderer.

FLAMES SEEK LIFE.
Narrow Escape of a Mother and Her
Five Little Children.

Two JltGLS
The residence of J. +. Beaslv, night
Waterman for w. w. Gordon & Co.. burned
yesterday morning. The fire was discovered
by Mrs. Beasly about O'Clock, and she says
itseemed to have been started in two or three
places. The flames spread so rapidly that
she had barely time TO collect her five chill
dren, with the clothes they had worn the
day previous, and get out of the burning
building On her last trip in the house she
grabbed a blanket, with which she pro-
tected herself and one of the children in
their hasty exit. The house and its con-
tents were entirely consumed. The mother
and children were taken in by Mrs. G. II.
Cole, her next door neighbor, and COM
fortably provided for and given a warm
breakfast.
Mr.. BeaSly knew nothing Of the fire until
he returned from his night watch at Z
O'Clock yesterday morning to find heap of
ashes where his little home stood.
The house was located at the corner of
Burroughs and Tenth streets, beyond the
help of the fire department, which did not
go out to the fire. The house was a new
frame dwelling of five rooms, built by d.
B. Lester, and sold some three months ago
on the lnstalhnent plan to Mr.. Beasly It
than half cover the loss. Mr. Beasly'S
household effects were insured for $500 in
the Hibernia Insurance Company, of which
Wheaton & Son are the agents.
There seems to be little doubt of the in
cendiary origin of the fire, as there was no
fire in the kitchen stove after O'Clock the
evening before, and in view of the fact that
when discovered the fire was burning in
different places in the house.

Editor Morning NeicS: I notice in the
MORNING News of yesterday statement
which | suppose was furnished by Mr.
Carey Townsend, since he made substan-
TALLY the same statement on the streets,
that the inspector at Southover junction
permitted two men to come into the city
who had been in Camp Perry. The whole
purpose of the statement is to create the
impression that the quarantine is not as
strict as it ought to be. | do not
know that the men in question were
ever i'll Camp Perry, or ia Florida. MIR.
Townsend says that the men told him
that they had been in Camp Perry about
forty days ago | had a conversation with
Mr.. Townsend about the matter, and he
told me that he was present when the in
spectOr questioned one of the men, who
said that he was from Tavlors Greek Tae
question which presents itself is this: Why
did not Mr. Townsend tell the inspector
what the man had told him, and thus aid
the officer IN protecting Savannah? | asked
Mr.. Townsend why he did not do so. he
replied that he was not a citizen of Savan-
nah, and had no interest in protecting her
[ fad, however, that MIR. Townsend some
time ago got a health certificate from
Mayor Lester, and at that time he swore that
he was citizen of Savannah, aud believe
that he now uses that certificate in going
from place to place. Is he citizen or not
of Savannah! OF that leave the public to

citizen, and, if he is, what is to be thought
Of him in this matter9 He deliberately
refused to render tse slightest assistance in

Messrs. Garrard & Meldrim for an order to
sell the stock of NJ NJ. Simon to satisfy a
claim for NJ. P. Anserge of 500 10, and as
no objection was entered an order was
granted to sell on Oct 49, Two claims of
$3.50 and $500 respectively were settled by
Simon when Anserge got out an attach
ment, and since then another attachment
for $3.50, returnable to the city court, has
been taken out. The sale of the goods will
also cover this last claim which is being
prosecuted by Garrard & Meldrin. The
stock consists of about sixty trunks con-

place of business at an early hour of the
morning to a private house, and this made
his creditors suspicious, and they bounced
