A Voudoo Doctor Sent to Jail.

Sylvester Domingo, a colored ''voudoo doc
tor" was before Judge Miller to-day, charged
with committing an indecent assault on Eliza
Brown, a colored woman, who lives in Vests
alley, while her husband was at work yester-
day. She said that yesterday was not the first
time that Domingo had assaulted her, but she
never told her husband, because she was afraid
he would kill the doctor" Sylvester, whose
hair is gray from old age, made denial of the
charge. but admitted his intimacy with the
woman.
Prosecuting Attorney Armes mistook Sylves-
ter for the man who was recently tried for a
similar offense, but Judge Miller remembered
him as ''voudoo" doctor who once swindled
poor countryman of his own color.
Judge Miller, in disposing OF the case. Sc
verely lectured the old man. and said that it
was such men as he who debauch the families
of men who work hard to earn an honest liv-
ing. The result usually is that the husband
discovers his shame and then a homicide fol-
lows. Sylvester was given ten months in iail.

WHERE'S HER MuLR2

Rena Haywood Says a Deacon Bor-
rowed and Never Returned 1t.
Alexander Ford, a deacon of a Browns
vile colored church, was arrested yester-
day by Constable Hastedt on a warrant
sworn out in Justice Reynolds court ,charg
ing the prisoner with stealing a mule on
Christmas day, 1897, from colored woman
by the name of Rsna Haywood, but the
woman failed to identify him and he was
discharged.
This Ii the second time Ford has been
arrested. Last Friday he was brought in
to Justice REYNOLDS court on pOsSeSsory
warrant for the mule, but no one appearing
against him he was discharged. Rena
Haywood says that on Dec. 25, 1887, a
colored man, giving his name as Alexander
Ford, and claiming to be a church deacon,
borrowed the mule to go on business trip.
and never returned the animal. She says
pied and he kept it turned inward in the
palm Of his hand, and the prisoner had the
scar Of a cut on his right thumb.
Ford called the old woman ''Slster, "
talked to her very feelingly and
was excessively polite and courteous to her,
and she sdccumbed 70 his suave manners
and agreed with him that she couldn't iden-
tify him as the borrower Of the mule. The
justice, however, thinks it suspicious that
she did not appear when the hearing on the
possessOry warrant came on, and is not sat
isfied with the circumstances of the case,
but did not feel justified in binding Ford
over on the evidence before him.

THE SOUTH BOUND RAILWAY.
A Meeting to be Eeld tonight by the
Friends Of the Enterprise.


Col Mike Brown, the leading spirit Of
the South Bound railroad enterprise, re-
turned to the city yesterday, and was in
conference with some Of the business men
interested in encouraging the building Of
new lines TO Savannah.
Col. Brown said last night that the friends
Of the enterprise will meet at S o'clock to-
night for a further conference at the Office
Of Messrs. Denmark & Adams. The presi-
dent of the Barnwell railroad saws that he
found on his return home deepened inter-
est in the fate of the road, and the
common inquiry was, "Does Savannah want
it, and will she help it alongsn He says the
encouragement the MORNING NEWS has
extended the enterprise is gratefully re-
ceived by the friends of the projected road,
and il Savannah's business men will put
their shoulder to the wheel and help the
enterprise the people Of his section will not
forget Savannah.
The people there want to get the products
OF their farms to port where steamers
leave daily, and the merchants along thepro-
posed line want competitive city to trade
with, and more than one outlet for the
cotton which they say would be largely
shipped to Savannah. The projected road,
Col. Brown says, would tap large tracts Of
virgin timber, which would stimulate the
lumber trade of Savannah.
AS the rest of the week after to-day, will
be principally devoted to the naval COM
mission. it is hoped that the meeting to-
night in the interest of the South Bound
will be well attended and arrangements
completed to close up the subscriptions at
the earliest practical date
