George Bartels Gashed in the Head by
Negro.
George Bartels baker at Bryan and
Jefferscn streets, is confined to his bed with
three severe gashes on the head, the result
Of cowardly assault upon him by negro
rut1ian. Mr.. Bartels said last night that
night before last when he drove down Bay
street lane he was prevented from getting
TO his shop by a team which blocked up the
lane. Bartels asked the driver OF the team
to move on, so that he could pass. The
negro replied that he would do nothing Of
the kind. Bartels asked him once or twice
to make room for him to pass, but the
negro refused and Bartels told him that he
would make him move.
"Who are you" inquired the driver.
81 am Mr. Bartels."
- you, you are drunk replied
the colored man.
When he said this, Bartels jumped down
off Of his wagon. with his whip in his hand
and started over to where the negro was,
when his wife caught him AID prevented
him from going any farther, or from using
the whip. The negro, Mr.. Bartels says, also
got down from the buggy, AID when he saw
that Bartels could do nothing he seized the
whip out Of his hands aud dealt him three
heavy blows on the head, inficting three
deep gashes and breaking the whip.
Parties lnterfered, and Mr.. Bartes was
taken into his house. He had bled freely,
and Drs Norton, Boyd and Groth arrived
shortly ar onward and dressed the wounds.
The negro has not since been seen. Mr.
Bartels says that be thinks the negroes name
Is Brown

there was happy family all around, which
was broken into by the sudden death of the

grief exhibited by Pussy, and in ten min

AT LAW OVER AN IRON DOOR.
A Legal Fight over an Old Door Found
in q Lane.

A Legal Fight over an Old Door Found
in a Lane.
The quite celebrated iron door case came
up in certiorari in the Superior court yes
terday, and the decision Of the lower court
was reversed. The circumstances of the
case are as about follows: Mr.. j. A. Bates,
of Ludden q Bate, found an old iron door
in Broughton street lane which he thought
was the part of the old building of the Lui-
den & Bates Southern Music House.
and the door was appropriated.
Mr.. H. d. Headman claimed the door,
demanding its return or $50 on Il given day
Meantime the door had been cemented into
the Ludden and Bates Southern Music
House vault, so that it could not be re-
turned, but check for $50 was drawn and
was kept in readiness for Headman when
he should call. The time having elapsed
which Mr.. Headman had fixed, and
the $50 not having been sent him be-
took out a possessory warrant In
Justice Molina's court for the door. When
the case came on to be heard the defendant
rendered Mr.. HeadmAns counsel $50, which
was refused, and the court below found for
tn plaintiff. The case came up on certiorari
and Judge Adams in reversing the court
below held that sufficient notice had not
been given Mr.. Bates to warrant tue adj
verse decision Of the justice. The door has
proved a co silly one to both sides.

THE SMITH MURDER CASE.
w. p. Smith to Be Tried Again Next
Week

Week
The trial of W. P. Smith is set down for
Tuesday next, but an acquittal does not APP
pear to be the only reliance of the prisoners
counsel. The plea of jeopardy has not been
overlooked, nor was the initial step post
poned beyond the term of the superior court
which closed last night.
The point was raised during the term that
court erred in declaring mistrial on the
Sabbath, and the motion to correct the
error was overruled. The counsel for the
prisoner excepted, and it is believed that the
bill Of exceptions have been formally signed
by the court as is the practice in cases where
an appeal to the supreme court is intended.
IL the prisoner goes to trial and is acquitted,
which ne of course prefers, that will estop
the progress of the bill of exceptions aud
the case will never reach the higher courts.
The circumstances of the first trial were
that the court, as the hour grew late Sat
urday night, sent Sheriff Roman to see
Messrs. Lester and Meldrim, to learn if they
desired to be present If a mistrial were de-
clared. Mr.. Lester was not found, and Mr..
Meldrim was awakened, and without noting
the time, sent back an oral reply to the
effect that he would be satisfied
with the action of the court. The
court then, upon the return of
Sheriff Roman, and about / o'clock Sunday
morning, declared a mistrial, discharged the
jury and remanded the prisoner. That the
testimony of the court, the sheriff and Mr..
Meldrim as to their impressions of the
sheriff's mission to the defendants counsel
and the messages to and from
the court and Mr.. Meldrim, ap-
pears in the papers in the case, tends to show
that the state " i'll rely on Mr.. Meldrins re-
joinder to the courts message as a waiver
II the case should get to the supreme
court its final disposition would be watched
with the keenest interest by the legal fra
ternity

MARSHAL LAMAR'S DEATH.
The United States Court Attaches
Mourn a Beloved Officer.

Mourn a Beloved officer
The announcement of the death of United
States Marshal Lamar was received with
feelings of deep regret at the custom house
yesterday. The United States court was
not in session. Col. Lamar was here last
week, and with Deputy Clerk Giles
pie adjourned the court last Wednesday.
He complained then of pain in his side,
but did not think seriously of it, and he
left the next morning for Macon.
Col. Lamar was wildly known in Savan-
nan. but nowhere was he more highly re-
spected than among the officers of the
court. Col Lamar was the successor in
office of Col E. c. Wade, and his time had
two years yet to run. Upon the return of
Judge Speer from the north and the re-
opening of the courts, appropriate action
will be taken upon the death of its marshal.

Dent Take 1T.

About week ago The APPEAL
received an order 70. some official
advertising from Washington. 1t
was in regard to the post office and
stipulated that the work should be
done for fifty cents square, one
fifth the regular rate. The APPEAL
politely informed the Postmaster
General that it could not accept the
advertising at such rates, and re-
turned it. We hope that no Neva-
da paper will be foolish enough to
accept The advertising unless
regular legal rates of $3.50 per
square are paid. We also warn
the papers of the State that it is
almost impossible to collect pay
for any advertising done for the
present administration.
