WEIDNER IN JAIL AGAIN.
THE NEGRO BURKE's SLAYER IN
DICTED FOR MURDER.

Arrested on e Bench Warrant
and Committed to Jail for Trial
The Crime for Which He is to An
swer-A Saloon Fight Ends in Club
and Pistol Fight.
o. A Weidner was arrested yesterday
morning and lodged in Jail on bench war
rant for the murder Of the negro Burke last
August, the grand jury having indicted
him on Wednesday night last.
Weidner was committed TO Jail by Justics
Russell under heavy bond, but R. R.
Richards, Esq, counsel for Weidner, got a
preliminary examination before a bench of
magistrates, consisting Of Justices Russell,
Patterson aud Elsinger, who reduced the
bond to 81 500 on the charge Of manslaugh-
ter, which was furnished. Since then
Weidner has been at large.
The case was vigorously contested by the
state before the bench of magistrates, Hon.
F. G. duBignon, the then solicitor general,
arguing against the reduction Of the bond
The evidence at the preliminary hearing
showed that the negro (Burkel was at Weld
ner's bar, at Habersham and Liberty
streets, on the night Of the killing. and a
dispute arose about % cents alleged to be
due Weidner for half pint of whisky that
Burke had obtained earlier in the evening
Burke, two other negroes and Weidner en-
gagged in dlce-throwing, and the 25 cents
that Burke paid after the dice-throwng
for drinks was applied by Weidner to
discharge the indebtedness for the flask Of
whisky. A quarrel ensued. Weidner in
the melee received couple of ugly gashes
about the face and head from blow with
a stick in the hands of Burke, and Burke
was shot in the stomach by Weidner. The
wounded man staggered to his home in
Perry street lane, near Price street, and
died the next morning

FOUND HIS STOLEN CHILD.
A Hart County Farmers Search for
His Kidnapped Daughter.

HIS kidnapped Daughter.
Bessie Dyar, a bright little girl of 10
years. accompanied by her father, F. N.
Dyar, passed through the city last night en-
route to their home at Hartwell, Hart
county.
The little girl has been in Florida for the
last three months and has apparently spent
the time pleasantly. She was taken away
from her home by laborer on her fathers
farm, and until a few days ago nothing
could be learned Of her whereabouts.
Mr.. Dyar was happy over the find Of his
daughter and he talked about the matter
freely. He arrived from Florida yesterday
morning too late to get the Central Railroad
train and had to remain over until last
night. He said that his daughter was kid
mapped by a man named John Estes, whom
be employed on h s farm. Estes got the
girl Nov. % and escaped with her. Every
effort was made TO capture him but without
success.

Jail until a requisition can be obtained,
when he will be brought back to Hart
county for trial Estes would not maze
any statement about the matter Ia fac =,
had little conversation with him. | was
only too glad to get my little daughter
back"
Mr. Dyar said that he will take steps at
once to secure requisition, and as soon as
il can be served Estes will be brought to
Georgia for trial. The little girl was very
quiet until she was asked alb ut her eXpe-
rience Then she hung her head and refused
to ak. Mr.. Dyar said that Estes persuaded
the child not to disclose anything concern
ing the kidnapping, but he thought when
he reached home with her that she would
tell all that transpired. Estes he said, has
served a term of several years on the chain
gang in South Carolina. He has wife and
child in Hart county, and he is wanted by
the government for robbing the mail IN
some portion of Florida. Estes had been
employed by Mr.. Dyar for several months,
but the latter says that be never dreamed
that the man entertained a thought OF steal
ing his child.
IL is likely that within the coming few
weeks Estes will be brought back from
Florida. The people in Inc locality whore
the kidnapping occurred are stirred up over
the matter, and it is thought that unless the
necessary precautions are taken when Estes
is brought back trouble NAV result.

DEER HuNrEPs IN LUCK.
Fine Game Being Brought in From
the Woods

Yesterday was a fine day for the sports
men and they made it count. There were
several deer hanging up at the different
markets in the city. One Of them, at a
market out on Liberty street, attracted
considerable attention, owing to its size. 1t
was brought in by hunter in the southern
portion Of the county early yesterday
morning, and by sunrise it was on the mar
ket. The hunter said the deer was young
one, but it weighed about 200 pounds sand
was probably four feet high. I'VE had a
lively chase before capturing him." he said.
There were probably dozen dogs in the
race, and they made the woods ring. We
struck the trail shortly after md
night, and a half hour later we
had jumped the game and the chase had
begun. The buck ran well, aud for two
hours | never was in prettier race. The
air was heavy and the ground was damp, 50
that the dogs did not even lose track and
they "hooped" him up until about day,
when they "bayed" The buck backed up
into dense thicket and kept the dogs clear
Of him. He could have whipped a COW pen
full Of hounds"
Several deer were brought in, that were
killed up the Savannah river, yesterday
morning The most of them were small,
though. This Is a good time for deer"
said sportsman. They are fat and
have not heard Of any diseases among them
at alIn
Some of the farmers up above Sisters ferry
say that the deer are destroying the early
grain crop. Where the deer run in drOves
the oat and other grain crops suffer.
Wild turkeys aud duck were also plentiful
yesterday. Some Of the turkeys were
trapped. They are very fat at this season,
and bring fancy prices. Ducks for the past
month have been scarce, and at one time
during the past week there was not one to be
had at any price. A restaurateur said yes
terday that he did not know whether it was
due to the scarcity Of the fowl now, or
whether it was that the hunters were not
doing their duty in bringing them In. The
restaurant men look for big run on quail

After an absence of two years from
Savannah Clara Morris will reappear to-

acknowledged to be her strongest play. A
Charleston critic says of the piece that 1t
embodies every passion, every emotion nd
every phase Of feeling native to the human
breast, aud it is well worthy Of the genius
Of the great actress, Clara Morris.
The plot is deep and intricate one, and
IS full Of hidden sins and dark intrIgues To
attempt to detail the scenes in which Miss
Morris wonderful powers came out with
marvellous strength would be vain. The
scene in the fourth act Of toe meeting of
the long separated mother and child was n
scene Of tears, both for actors and audi
ence. IL was heartrending in the extreme
terribly so-aud 50 natural and intense
was the portrayal Of these passions that it
was almost grief when the entrance OF
the other players on the stage broke and
dissipated the effect.

liant audience Of the season no one who has

COTTON EXPORTERS REBATES ON

Returned by the Government to sa-
vannah Exporters-The Way the Su-
preme Court Decided the Rebate
Claims - A Snug sum Out OF the
Treasury in the Exporters Pockets.
Next week will be field week for cotton ex-
porters at the custom house, as about SIC, 900
or Sl1 600 will be paid to them by Uncle
Sans financial agents as a drawback on
the jute bag2ing covering cotton exported
from Savannah for claims TO date, princi-
pally for the years 1861 and 1886-'S7.
From interviews with Collector Of Gus
toms Wheaton and Deputy Collector Ham
ilton, it Is learned that thus far SO, 1T 90
have been paid In rebates, and when all the
allowed claims are paid, the aggregate will
have reached the sum OF $l9, 600 or $50, 900.
There has been no small issue as to which
of the parties handling the cotton should
he entitl d to the rebate, whether the
farmer, the troker, the exporter or the
spinner TIE supreme court decided in
favor Of the exporter. The farmer buys
the jute baggiug at the price Of jute, selling
it at the price Of cotton, which has always
been in excess Of first cost. The foreign
spinner takes of the tax, so the court held
that the exporter really paid the tariff on
the jute and was entitled to the rebate
which is allowed on raw material brought
into this country and reShipped in manu-
featured form.
A customs house official, whose attention
was called to the statement that $l3 274 had
been paid out by the Charleston custo ns
collector, and that $4,000 in claims are
still pending for payment, says he doubts
It's accuracy That that would show an OK
portation Of 100000 bales of cotton, when
