A CUT-THROAT GAME.

Gamblers Chase a Victim Into the
Woods and Rob Him.
Justice McDermott recovered $l3 yester-
day from a negro, who said that the money
belonged to Joe Johnston, who lives at
Station No. 2, on the Central railroad.
The negro said that the money had been
given him by another, who.
with other colored people, forced
Johnston to give it up. He told the magis-
trate that Johnston was gambling in
Coopershop lane with a crowd of negroes,
and they cheated him. Johnston dropped
ON to their game, and when he lost he
picked the money up, and, putting it in his
pocket, walked out of the place. The
crowd followed him, and one of them
jumped out of the door and shouted, "Dat
man killed er man; ketch i'm"
The people on the streets ran after John
ston and the country negro ran for his life.
The crowd chased him two miles out of the
city and finally headed him Off on the canal,
southwest of the city.
Johnston backed up against tree and
pulled out revolver and said that he would
Kill the first man that touched him. The
crowd kept him backed against the tree for
several hours, when Johnston told them il
they would let him 60 he would give them
$50. The crowd agreed, and he
planked down the $50, which was divided
up. Thirteen dollors of the money was
given to one of the negroes to divide up
amongst the others. but when he found that
Johnston had killed nobody he refused to
divide the money and sought the magis
trate. Justice McDermott took the money
and sent for Johnston. Johnston's brother
who works in Savannah, went out after the
man who gave up the money, and he is ex
pected to be here this morning, when the
matter will be looked into further.

THE PENSION FRAUD CASES.
Solomon Washington on Trial in th

Solomon Washington on Trial in the
United States Court
In the United States court Yesterday
morning Solomon Washington (colored)
was put upon trial for perjury alleged
against him in swearing falsely to the
identity of one Kate Glover (colored for
the purpose of obtaining pension for her.
The case was fully detailed in the MORN
ING NEWS when it was before the United
States commissioners court Washington
and other colored men conspired to defraud
the government by obtaining pension for
Kate Glover, widow Of James Glover, and
they went before Col. John II. Deveaux,
where the affidavits were made, another
woman personating Kate Glover, who
lives at Beaufort, and who was ignorant of
the matter, and whose remarriage, after
the death of her husband debarred her
from obtaining a pension.
The pension on the fraudulent affidavit
and proofs was drawn for two or three
years, when the house of the counterfeit
Kate Glover was burned with the pension
certlhcate, and it was necessary to renew
it. Application was made upon fraudulent
representations, and the government sent
an agent to look into the case. BY the
purest accident the agent learned that the
only original Kate Glover lived at Beau
fort. and was ignorant OF the fact that a
pension had been paid for years in her
name to an alleged Kate Glover here
The testimony of the government was H.
troduced at yesterday mornings session of
the court, and a session was held last night,
in which demurrer was argued and over
ruled. The decision operates to admit GER
tam documentary evidence in the shape of
atfldav1ts The further hearing of the case
will be resumed this morning.

BELIEVED TO BE A FAKE.
The Story of tho Eutawville Railroad
Extension to Savannah Discredited.

The Story of tho Eutawville Railroad
Extension to Savannah Discredited.
The story that the Eutawvills IS. c.,
railroad is to be extended to Savannah, or
that the extension is a movement in the
interest or under the auspices of the Robin
son system is discTedited by the South
Bound people. A Savannah gentlemal
said yesterday that until the extension of
the Robinson system is completed from
Cheraw, S. c., to Athens, Ca, upon which
the work is now progressing, no further ex-
tensions will be projected. He says, how
ever. that the Robinson system, when it
does come Savannahward, will make
satisfactory traffic arrangements with the
South Bound, with which it can connect at
Columbia, whore it is hoped that the South
Bound will be in operation before the
Robinson system completes its extension to
Athens.
The gentleman, who claims to speak by
the card says that he knows that the Robin
son system will not take any such a route
to get to Savannah as via Eutawville
when shorter route and through more
productive section is open to this seaport
city, aud he further SAYS that he has reasons
for saying that until Athens is reached no
more railroad extensions will be projected
except by meeting the South Bound at
Columbia, if the South Bound does not
build its own extension northward from
Columbia to connect with the road pushing
from Cheraw to Athens.

Burglar Russell Gets Four Years In
the Ohio Penitentiary

L4C O4AO EGQlJCuLlaIY.
G. W. Russell, convicted in the United
States court day before yesterday for
larceny and burglary in the daytime, was
sentenced to four years in the Ohio peni-
Tertiary by Judge Speer yesterday.
Out Of the case grew an animated ques-
ton OF privilege in the court room yester-
day morning. The counsel for Umbach,
Mr.. Richards. objected to the report
or the trial in the MORNING
NEWS. District Attorney Erwin dis
claimed having furnished the information
upon which the report was based. The
court took no action in the matter, saying
that he had nothing TO do with the reports
OF court proceedings Ia the press, and could
not control them.
Deputy Clerk Gillespie seemed TO bs
singled out as having given the informa-
ton, but he was wholly innocent
Umbach and Russell were indicted for
burglary and larceny of government prop
erty from Fort Oglethorpe. Mr.. Richards
demurred in the Umbach case, and the de-
murrer having been overruled by Judge
Speer, the case was expected 10 90 20 trial
Umbach's counsel claimed surprise and
the case went over. When the Russell
case was under trial Mr.. Richards made
notes of the testimony and carefully noted
the authorities which the counsel
for Russell drew out. This was
matter of notice in the court room
There was no intimation that Mr.. Richards

IN A MUDDLB AGAIN.
The City Having a Hard Time With
the Bay Street Extension.

The City Having a Hard Time With
the Bay Street Extension.
The Bay street extension appears to be in
as much of muddle since Mr. ExleY signed
the contract granting the right of way,
as it was before he signed it Under the
contract he will not permit ''cuttingn to
grade, and the county has stopped work be-
cause it is required to fill without cutting
It is claimed by Alderman Harmon.
chairman of the street and lane committee
of the council, that it would have been
better and cheaper to have condemned the
right of way in the first insta nee, as, under
the contract, it will be far mpre expensive to
conform to it in opening tho extension. The
| contract, he says binds the city "to make
| no cuts through the land of the said Exley,
but will raise all low places through which
the said street shall pass
Another agreement Is considered harsh
and impracticbale, it being stipulated that
| they further agree not to place any bitches
on either side of the said street, but under
or Cove red" drains are to be put in the
place of the bitches where necessary.
The provision in the contract for the city
TO fence the street is thought to be severe.
as it is agreed that the city shall place a
good fence on both sides Ct the right of way
through the entire length of tho proposed
extension through all of the lands OF Mr..
Exley, even though beyond the city limits,
the fence to be heart cedar posts inches
square, 215 feet in the ground and feet
above the ground, posts well packed and 8
feet apart. There shall not be less than i
good barbed wires stretched aud secured to
the posts, with top plank of yellow heart
pine / inch by inches, nailed to posts 5
feet from the ground.
When Mr.. Exley refused to sign the con-
| tract, it was argued by Alderman Harmon
that condemnation would be better for the
city, and while it is understood that he has
ordered advertisements for proposals to do
the work under agreement and action OF
council, the terms of the contract, he
thinks. are too rigid. He is favor OF ''cut-
ting" as the only economic way to com
| plete the extension.
| The county commissioners appear to be
disguised with the matter, and have sus
pended work, and until grades are estab
lished it is not probable that they will re-
| sumo work.

The Contract for the Independent
Church to be Let Next Week.

Church to be Let Next Week.
| Architect Preston arrived from Boston
yesterday 10 close the preliminary details for
the rebuilding Of the Independent Presby-
terrain church. He had a conference with
the building committee in the afternoon,
and he said last night that he hopes to be
able 10 award the contract by the middle
\ Of next week He learned from the com
mittee that all the bids are not in yet, but
that they will be probably by Monday.
II they are be will be able to give out the
contract SO that work will begin immedi-
ateIy.
1t is the purpose Of the building commit
tee to have the structure completed as early
next year as possible.
The plans and specifications drawn by
Mr.. Preston are for a building which will
approximate in cost between $l25, 900 and
| $4,000 The architect was asked where
the stone for the building would come from,
and he replied that he did not know; that
matter will have to be agreed upon with
the contractor. The stone out Of which the
old church was built was transported
from granite quarry in Massa-
then, and the stone was RATED from near
the quarries to vessels for transportation.
Mr.. Preston said that the new stone may
come from Massachusetts, or it may be pro-
! cured at the quarries ia this state.
The drawing Of the plaDs for the church,
Mr.. Preston said, was an exceedingly difficult
work, not difficult because of the intricate
architecture, but because the data from
which he made the plans had to be obtained
from all sorts of sources. The data
was got from parties in several states. A
good deal of it Was obtained from the Rhode
Island church. Mr.. Preston said that he
could have drawn two plans Of almost any
other styles of churches in the time that
was required to draw the plans for the
church here. The plans provide for an ex-
act duplicate structure Of that destroyed
last April.
After the contract has been awarded, Mr..
Preston will retur TO Boston, but will
make periodical visits to Savannah to in
spect the work as it progresses He expects
to be here about week. Toe DeSoto is
under his supervision, as is the court house.
He will inspect both buildings before he
leaves

Without counting the accruiug interest on
these payments of taxes by A, it will be
seen at once, according to Alderman Falli-
giants figuring. that by the twenty-one
years of assessments A has paid the city
$3.50 more than the original cost of his lot,
and paid the interest ON 81 900 also during
that period, because the city has his 81 900;
whilst B has paid the city but $500
OF his purchase money, and pays the
interest on the remaining $500 as ground
rent, making an interest on 81 900 in all
is let of from 81 200 of taxes, and yet has a
5000 lot, just as much his property, ex-
cepting that he owes the city $500 on it, as
is AS S., 600 lot his property. These inter
estlng differences are shown with more
perspicuity where longer time has elapsed
since the original sale, or greater increase
In value has taken place.
ANOTHER SIDE OF THE QUESTION.
There is still another and graver wrong,
Alderman Falligant says, psrpetrated under
the beguiling sophistry of "good faitn.n
I'VE will say that c purchased lot from
the city 100 years ago at $500, paying 500
down and continuing thenceforward to pay
per cent. interest annually on the remain
ing S4OO. The lot has been gradually ad-
vancing in value until it Is now worth
sm,OVO. II the original price at
Sn'sn IT was sold was the basis
