CITY BREVITIHS.

Golden Rule Lodge. No. 70. l. o. o. F.,
meets this evening.
DR.. r. g. Norton has sold out his drug
store at the corner of Waldburg and West
Broad streets, to his son, Mr.. w. r. Nor
ton and DR.. +. r. Bakowood.
Toast" jackson, the old negro who she
the boy John Aston, while SIX ylarking in
Pattersons store OF the corner of Bull and
Tenth streets night before last, was before
the mayor yesterday, and was fined 500
The shooting was proven to have been ac-
cidental. Tue boys injuries were not as
serious as were first reported, and are not
at all dangerous.
A scene was enacted at the corner of
Charlton and West Broad streets yesterday
afternoon. Constables Isaac Nathans,
Hastedt and Jones (colcredl, arrested j. G.
Sapp and his wife, and after lively scrim-
mage marched the husband and wife down
West Broad street. A wagon was secu red
before reaching the Office and the prisoners
were put in and hauled to Justice Endres'
office where a commitment was made out
for them and they were sent to
jail. The charge preferred against
the prisoners was that OF obsructing le Sal
process. Sapp is a carpenter employed in
the Savannah, Florida and Western rail
way. He has been a tenant of Justice
Samuel Reynolds since June. He fell in
arrears for the last months rent OF S., and
a disposse5sory warrant was issued and
placed in the hands of Constable Hastedt
who. it seems. was unable to execute it.
He cIlled Constables Nathans and Jones to
his assistance, aud when they attempted to
arrest Sapp, who was Intoxicated. his wife
tried to rescue her husband and was herself
arrested. Mrs. Taylor, a married daughter,
interfered, and it is said was used roughly.
Considerable excitement prevailed and a
general row was imminent.

THE RUINS TO 60 SOON.
The Independent Presbyterian People
Pushing Their Plans.

The Independent Presbyterian People
Pushing Their Plans.
The congregational committee on ways
aud means for restoring the Independent
Presbyterian church is going about its
work in way that of itself means the
success Of the undertaking.
The subcommittee and special commit
tees appointed to raise the amount neces-
sary to restore the edifice, have begun an
active canvass and the results yesterday,
which was the first day of the canvass,
were very satisfactory. One committee of
ladies secured nearly $1,000.
The committee which has assumed the re-
sponsibility of undertaking the great work
is going at it with the determination to put
the congregation in a homs--Ghe counter
part of that which it lost in the fire--in as
short time AS possible.
The building committee was to have had
a conference with Architect Preston yester-
day in reference to the plans which will
probably be taken from the sister church
in Providence, r. !. The losses of the church
and Sunday building have been
adjusted by the insurance men, and some
of the policies have already been paid.
The entire amount of insurance-S39, 600
will be in the treasurer's hands within a
week. A survey will be made of the ruins
to see what part OF the walls and other
material can be utilized. As soon as that is
done and the plans for the new building are
made, the ruins will be cleared away and
the work of rebuilding will begin The
ruins have been Photographed from nearly
every available point, and there is hardly
member of the congregation that does
not possess one or more views of what is
LETT of the once beautiful edifce.

A Young Postonian Pays Dearly for
Owing Florida Poolroom Keeper.
Detective Wetherhorn received a tele-
gram from a Jacksonville party yesterday,
instructing him TO arrest George A Bailey
on an account Of IS. The detective found
Bailey at the Marshall house and arrested
him. Bailey is young man, and when the
officer informed him of his errand he seemed
greatly astonished. He accompanied
Wetherhorn to Justice Naughtin's office,
where the telegram was exhibited to him
The account is just" he said, after read
ing the dispatch. 81 owe it for pool,
billiards and bar account, but told him
that did not have the money, when | left
to pay it, but that l would send it from
Boston when 1 reached there, and l have
been in Florida with some relatives spend
ing the winter and got strapped that is,
| had only money enough to buy my
steamer ticket and pay my board bill
here"
Young Bailey studied moment to see
where the money would come from, and
casting his eye down on a handsome dia-
mond ring he wore, he stripped it off and
handed it to the officer, rsmarking that sit
is all l have to give yon."
Detective Wetherhorn allowed the
young man to return to the hotel and going
around to Mullburg's he pawned the ring
for $25. He deducted IS for the account
and IS the cost of court, and returned
the balance to Bailey. Proprietor Clarke
was informed Of what was transpiring, and
he became considerably nettled. He said
that he will make an investigation of the
case and will see by what authority party
can be arrested for debt. He will redeem
the ring, which is in "hock" at Muhlberg's,
to-day.

chased his ticket on the steamer to Boston
