BURLINGTON, Iowa, September H.
Deputy sheriff Tate upon entering a cell
in Fremont county prison at Sidney, Ia.,
yesterday, was jumped on and nearly
pounded 10 death by convict named
Haynes. The convict secured Tates re-
volver and would have shot the officer
dead nut ior the intervention of another
prisoner. Haynes was i'll the act of un-
locking the prison door and escaping
when other officers, hearing the noise,
rushed upon him and overpowercd him.
Tatc's condition is critical, and should
he die there is such excitement that
Haynes may meet death by lynching.

Advice About Dogs.
Our Dumb animals.

A good many people are bitten by dogs
when very few need be. In the first place
people should not NEEDLE with dogs who do
not know them. Every now and then some
body startles a dog by laying a strange
hand upon him, pokes him with a stick or
pushes him with the foot and, lis bitten by
vicious dog.n Why not let the dog alone'
There are people with the bad habit of
meddling with what does not concern them,
and there are children who have been
taught no better than to touch. if they can
whatever takes their fancy. These are the
people bitten by dogs. Not once in 10000
times does dog modest person who minds
his business, no matter how Grabbed the
dog may be.
If, however, you are bound to approach
and touch dog. do it properly. There is
only one way. 1t is this: Put out your
hand easily and confidently to the dog, SO
that he may smell it. Put it to his nose II
he shifts at it and wags his tail, or other
wise shows friendliness, then you may speak
to him and pat him on the head if you like,
and perhaps use other familiarities But if,
when you offer your hand, the dog remains
sullen and passive, the sooner you take your
hand away the better Never approach a
strange dog with either timidity or menace.
But, as we have said, the best way is to let
all strange dogs alone, and get any desired
information about them from those who
have the honor of their personal friendship.

Advertising for 1880.

TIE MORNING NEWS is prepared to re,
new expiring yearly advertising contracts
or make new contracts at its usual low
rates for that class of business. Under this
system advertisers can secure a certain
amount Of space in the paper, with the
privilege of changing the matter from time
to time, as may be agreed upon, at reduced
rates. They can thus keep their business
before the world at all seasons at a nominal
average expense. Newspapers can afford
to make liberal concessions to contract ad.
vertisers because of the regular and in.
creased business secured thereby.
A few hundred dollars expended yearly
in advertising will make an out-of-the- way
store good stand for business, and give
the advertiser a name among the energetic
and enterprising business men of the city
and put money in his pocket The success
full men Of to-day are those who invest as
much money in printers Ink as they do in
store rents.
The MORNING NEWS circulates every
where in the city, and the country where Sa-
vannah's business mei expect to find buyers
for whatever they have to sell. 1t is read
by rich and poor alike, has thousands of
readers who never look at any other paper,
and will give better results for money paid
to it for advertising than any other invest
ment business man can make.
While the MORNING News solicits yearly
contracts, it will also be glad to make con
tracts by the week or month. and also re
ceive business for its cheap or Zone Cent-a-
Word" columns.

ton at the business Office, MORNING NEWS

A Chestnut that Savannah Man
Picked Up on Tybee Beach.
Mr.. Chris C. Miscally, of this city, while
hunting shells along the beach at the south
end of Tybee island after recent storm
found half pint bottle above high water
mark where heavy sea had left it. The
bottle was securely corked, and in the flask
was leaf torn from a memorandum book
on which was the following message, writ
ten in plain business hand.
TYBEE Jan $50.
The finder Of this will confer favor to the
undersigned Though dead and gomez by report
be found eff Tybee beach. c. W. X.
On the reverse side of the paper on which
the message is written is the following:
Thanks be to the finder, if reported c. w. X
There is an aroma of deception about the
message. That sc. w. X" should be dead
and gone without explaining why he died,
and how, and without giving his name in
full, stamps the message as the product of q
wsg, who tore the gilt-edge leaf from an
aristocratic memorandum book and penned
his last message ashore, or in safe distance

GOT ITS CHARTER BACK.
Georgia Tent of Rechabites Gains It's
Case.

Case.
Rev. j. i. Gilmore has returned from
Washington, where he went some time ago
u present the claim of the Georgia Teat of
Rechabites, and to endeavor TO have the
charter, which was temporarily withdrawn
from the tent, returned. He succeeded
its action, and the charter was order ed re-
turnel.
About four months ago the Georgia Tent,
numbering about 100 members was forced
TO surrender its charter on tho ground Of
disobeying the high chief rulers orders
He claimed the tents bylaws TO bs uncon-
stitutonal. At one meeting Of the tent the
by laws were laid on the table. At sec
ond meeting committee on bylaws was
appointed with power TO act. The action
not eing satisfactory, the charter was de-
manded and was given up. Upon that
ground the tent appealed, claiming that it
had virtually fulfilled all the requirements in
the case.
Rev j. L. Gilmore, chief ruler Of the
tent, was delegated to go before the high
tent at Washington held last Tuesday. He
said that he had no trouble in establishing
the correctness Of the position Of the tent,
and that Immediately upon hearing his side
OF the case the high chief ruler sustained
him. Instead Of injuring the Georgia
Tent said Mr.. Gilmore, "the case has
gained for 1t wide popularity"
The next SEES on OF the high tent will con
vene at Balston Spa, New York, in July.

RIOTERS GET TEN YEARS
THREE OF PATROLMAN CRONINs
AssAILANTs CONVICTED.

tn omas Washington, Robert Berrien,
and Willie williams Sent to the Peni-
ten tlary for an Attempt to Murder
Officer Cronin in the Yamacraw Riot
The Judges Words to the Convicts
Another Of the Rioters on Trial
Three Yamacraw rioters, Thomas Wash
ington, Willie Williams and Rodert Ber-
rien, were convicted il the superior court
yesterday of assault with intent to murder
Officer D. J. Cronin and last night the guilty
trio was placed in the prisoners box to re-
ceive their sentence Of ten years. labor in
the penitentiarY. The gallery was packed
with colored people who listened breath
iessly to the prepatory remarks of the
court.
Judge Adams began by telling the crimi-
nails that they had each been accorded q
fair trial by respectable jury and after
having an able defense by counsel, each one
had been adjudged guilty of an assault with
intent to murder The penalty for this
crime is from two to ten years in the peni-
Tertiary. Each Of the prisoners had been
positively identified as having participated
in the riot when the officers were defied,
and when a muTderous assault was made
upon the officers in the discharge of their
duty.
lit is fortunate for the officers and fortu-
nate for YOU" i'd the court, that they
have survived the terrible injuries inflicted
upon them Had death ensued every man,
woman and child engaged in the riot would
have been guilty Of tue crime of murder
This shows the necessity Of obedience to
the law. Without law we can have no
iVernment; and without law we would
nave no protection to ourselves, our lives
and our property; without law all would
be anarchy and ruin. 1t is a grave offense
TO take the law into ones own hands. If
an officer exceed his authority, the courts
can be applied to for relief"
There was no excuse for the assault made
by the prisoners, the court went on to say
1t IS never a pleasure to him, he said, nor
did he ever desire to inhict penalty on any
human being, but with the proper regard
for the larger concern, protection to society,
it was bis duty to infiict the penalty for
violation of laws for the protection of the
community He then added: The sentence
OF the court is that each of you be taken to
the penitentiary, and confined at hard labor
for the term Of ten years"
This, as will be seen, is the full penalty of
the law. A fourth person, Rosa Jones. alias
Rosa Slater, is on trial for the same offense,
having been indicted at this term of the
court. A jury was impaneled last night,
and without entering into the trial by CON
sent of counsel on both sides, the jury was
discharged until 80 o'clock this morning,
when the evidence will be taken. There
are others Of the alleged rioters to be tried
to-day.

TALK OF a CITY LEAGUE.
The Hendy Base Ball Club in tn
Field for the Gold Bat

The Hendy Base Ball Club in the
Field for the Gold Bat.
The Hendy Base Ball Club is arranging
for big masquerade ball, to be given at
Turner's Hall Feb. IS. Over 100 tickets
have already been disposed of. The club is
rapidly increasing in numbers. 1t is fitting
up q handsome hall over Hendy's drug
store at Bryan and West Broad streets
The club will shortly begin to agitate the
city league, to consist of as many clubs as
wish to join. The god-mounted bat
will be contested for upon con-
dition that the club winning it
three consecutive times will be awarded the
fual custody q the prize. The Hendv club
is composed of the bet amateur basaballists
in the city, and perhaps in the state and
they will make it interesting for their con-
testantS.
The Central railroad club, which has not
yet reorgan2ed will probably do so in a short
time, and will obably be in the league.
The Central club has some good men. 1t
was this club that furnished a battery for
the Wilson Mnstrels VS.. the Heady's Sow
ersl months ago. 1t is said by some that
the club has the best battery and some Of
the best players in the city, but the Hendy's
deny it, and if the league is formed this
season they will make vigorous effort to
carry Off the pennant.
''There are enough amateur base ball
players in savannah" said q base ball
enthusiast yesterday, ito form league of
half dozen clubs, and they will all be
good men, too. IL the matter is brought
before the baseballists, it seems TO me that
there will be little trouble in organizing the
league. Savannah once had four amateur
clubs, composed Of good men, and there are
more and better baseballists here now. TIE
Dixies had the sway then, and some of the
members of the old club, am satisfied, will
be in the league this season if it should be
organized"
Considerable interest is being mantle ted
by base ball men. and vigorous effort will
be made to form the city league.
