HOW ABOUT THOSE PROFESSIONS
The true cbsractero OF this administration

former r. publican administration. Mr.
HARRISON has hardly warmed the peel

His term is bat o month 3D. and set
already has he broken AID shattered
his civil service promises. The
country has been given to undsrs and

Mr. HMusoN has simply cast
his promises Of civil ervice re-

THE JURY SAID NOT GUILTY.

Storekeepers Disappointed in Test
Case Against a Longshoreman.
The state evidently failed to make out its
case yesterday against Frank Screven (col-
ored), charged with larceny after trust, as
jury in the superior court acquitted the
prisoner.
Screven was indicted for appropriating
to his own use a check of the Ocean Steam
ship Company, which it was alleged he had
previously obtained goods on from James
Mcclure, a Yamscraw grocer, who had re-
turned the check to Screven, as is the Gus
tom, so that he could present the check
when he went back to work
Quite number Of these cases have been
prosecuted in the magistrates courts, and
the trial of one in the higher courts has been
looked forward to with interest by store
Keepers, who have often been deceived by
longshoTemen, who have not always acted
In good faith after receiving their work
checks, and the result Of the test case in the
superior court yesterday is disappointing to
the grocers.

A TECHNICAL DEFENSE.
A Demurrer Calls Halt in One of the
Riot Cases.

hlOt cases.
A jury was impaueled in the superior
court last night in the case of the state VS..
Robert Brisbane (colored), indicted for
riot, but pending decision on a demurrer
to the indictment the jury was cautioned
and discharged until O'Clock this morning,
when the court will rule on the demurrer.
Mr. Pease, leading counsel for the
prisoner, demurred to the indictment, argu-
ing that it did not set up violence on the
part of Brisbane; that it was not alleged
that he had acted in a violent manner, and
that to convict for riot, it was essential that
violence should be alleged in some form,
whether by a noun, an adjective or an
adverb, and as neither form had been used
it was a fatal error He cited the court to
rulings which he held sustained his position.
Acting Solicitor General MacDonell, in
reply, held that the language of the first
count, which furnished the basis for the
demurrer, set up the fact that the offense
charged was by riotous and tumutuous
action, disturbing the peace and order Of the
community, language sufficient to designate
the violence, for the public peace could not
be disturbed without violence, and it is not
essential that it should be named in any
particular or set form OF speech in the
court, SO that the language used was
deslgnatory of the Offense alleged.

A Rioters Wife Creates a Scene in thu
Superior Court Room.

A Rioters Wife Creates a Scene in the
Superior Court Room.
There was quite a scene In the superior
court room last night just before the hour
of Adjournment. William Doyle, convicted
of riot" had been placed in the dock for
sentence. when a colored woman in the
gallery started out of the door screaming at
the top of her voice, and as she made her
way down stairs her walls were loud and
long. When she reached the lobby on her
waY to the doors of the court room she was
met by a number of bailiffs who
tried to persuade her to leave the room, but
she continued her cries and tried to gain an
entrance to the court room to say go0d-by
to her husband In the struggle the woman
fell, and one or two baIliffs VINO rushed out
to help quiet her stumbled oyer her and fell
headlong on the floor. She was finally
taken down stairs and started homeward,
but as far off as Bull and South Broad
streets could be heard her cry, Farewell,
husband.n
When quiet was restored Judge Adams
said to the prisoner that it was very fortu-
nate for him that he had been indicted and
tried for riot only, as the evidence showed
that he could have been indicted for assault
with intent to murder, could have been
found guilty and sent to the penitentiary
for ten years The court sentenced Doyle
to twelve months on the chain-gang.
Doyle's wife evidently thought her husband
would receive the ten-year penalty for the
graver offense.
Doyle is a mulatto of about 25, and has
three small children. 1t was in evidence
that be was one of the rioters who forced
an entrance into the house of Pearl Prem
dergast in search of Policeman McMurray.

BLACK BURGLARS.
Several days ago TWO of Tallapoosa's
negroes, Wade Lattermore and Henry
Boyd, aided by Taylor Walker (colored) Of
Carrollton made tn ir plan to get con-
siderable amount of money. At night they
went under the storehouse of E. G.. Kramer
and took out the hearth of the chimney,
thereby easily getting into the house. Mr..
Kramer does a large business, and is also
agent for the Southern Express Company,
which fact was well known to the burglars
After entering aud failing to get in the
safe, they loaded up with dry goods, which
led to their arrest. They are all now in
jail.
Carrollton is soon to have foundry and
cotton mill.
