Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-05-20
In the brief space of time that he had

In the brief space of time that he had known her, his heart had gone out to her, he knew not how nor why, nor could he say whether it was pity or love that prompted him to feel such a deep inter- est in her.
 The great strong man spurned the cold of the chilling winters night, as he moved about uneasily, scarce knowing what to do, or say, or think, to bring her back, and many time he thought he could see her tranquil face, in fancy, as it appeared to him whom she lay in the rushing flood, with her white forehead turned appealingly to Gods glistening stars in heaven's deep dome of blue.

A PAIR OF BOOTS.
Habeas Corpus Proceedings Fan 70
Get one Of Them on.


1t appeared from habsas corpus case
heard in the city court yesterday afternoon
that there are a pair of Boots" more or
less mixed w with the Yamacraw not.
This was developed by the testimony in
the proceedings wherein Lawyer Pease,
counsel for Frank Z Mason,
alias Boots sought Mason's discharge
on the ground that he was not the Boots"
wanted, but that Brutus Benjamin, alias
Alex Benjamin, alias Boots" an alleged
refugee from justice since the riot, is the
man wanted, and the one who struck Officer
Cronin, and over whose arrest the general
riot was precipitated.
Mr.. Peass not only proved an alibi by
several reputable colored witnesses, show
ing that Mason had been out cunning
the day of the riot, but the lawyer also in
trOduced a certificate from the treasurer OF
tho Central railroad that Brutus Benjamin,
the real Boots wanted, had not applied for
the wages due him, nor had he been seen
since the riot. Mr.. Pease not only salts
fact0rily proved that his client had not left
Savannah until March IA, nearly four
months after the riot, but continued to work
in the city, and had attended two or three
of the riot trials.
The state rebutted the testimony by the
sworn aud positive statements Of Police
man CAOi4ut WHO sdlQ lndL lie feCO1Dizou
Mason as the man whom he arrested, but
who choked him, took his pistol from him,
and was a principal in the murderous
assault. He could not be mistaken he said,
as be identified Mason by a scar under the
right eye. Officer Crimmens also swore posi-
lively that he recognized in Mason the man
who assaulted Cronin, and Crimmens, then
in the employ of the Vulcsuite Paving
Company, now on the police force, went to
CrOnin's relief
The court declined to discharged the pris-
oner, saying without Mr.. Pease could show
some aushority from Georgia reports that
the court had a right to try the case, that
is TO determine from the evidence, conflict
ing as it was, whether Mason is or is not
the man wanted. This, the court
said, is for jury TO determine and not the
court, and if any different rulings can be
cited he expressed the opinion that the rul-
ing court had transcribed its authority
Judge Harden halted Mr.. Pease in his argu-
ment to say that it was time wasted to
argue upon the evidence. 1t might be con-
vinclng before jury, and there was the
only place where it properly belonged.

From the first day not race has been
missed, omitted, or even deferred. Rain or

gramme has been run. There have been
five races every day, on some DAYS six, the
total number of races run during the thirty
days being l60. The fastest mile made
was by Ben Harrison in 1:4015, which is but
little below the time record of 1891
made by Ten Brock in Louisville KY, in
1874.
Not an accident of any serious nature has
happened on the track during the entire
season. One horse broke its leg by running
into fence, and one jockey was thrown.

nor any disturbance has married the re-
spectability and excellent order which have
characterized the waole season. Arthur

dropped it from his pocket.

PROGRESS OF THE NEQAO.
Prof Wright's Lecture on the Ad
vancement of His Race.

Prof Wright's Lecture on the Ad
vancement of His Race.
The Beach institute chapel was crowded
with people last night to hear Prof r. R.
Wright of Augusta lecture on 1.-THE Prog
ress of the Negro for the Past Twenty
Years" The lecturer discussed the subject
in all its different phases, showing, he said,
that the progress of his race has been re-
markable. Coming down to health, he
said that the Improvement here even is
great He referred to the health officers
report, which was printed in the MORNING
NEWS yesterday, showing that there was
q considerable decrease in the death rate
and an increase in the birth rate.
This was an argument in favor of the
Negroes knowledge of health laws. He
dwelt upon the education of the negro,
which he claimed began since the war.
Our people are rising - he said, land the
day will come when this southland will be
THEIRS In support of this assertion, he
said that there was growing tendency of
the whites to go north, and every colored
man in the country almost is seeking
home in the south. The majority of
the labor in the south is peculiarly
adapted to the colored man. There is Texas
with her cattle, Mississippi with her cotton,
Tennessee with her minerals, Virginia with
and sugar cane, and Georgia with her gem
eral agriculture, each of which is carried
on by the negro.
Prof. Wright said that 81 per cent of the
colored people can read, and they pay taxes
on 1921 100000 worth of property In the
south. This, he said, has all been
accumulated since the war. Their
progress has been in morals as well
as in other things. "Picture to yourself"
he said, "the whipping post, the slaves
block, and the shambles of the men in
bonds; look at the mother separated from
her husband, and the daughter torn away
from her mother, then picture to yourself
cosy home, with father mother, sister and
brother, as free people, He said that one
third of the colored people are registered
upon the church rolls
Politically the colored people, he said,
make the poorest showing, but even here
they have something to be proud
of. They have members of congress
and senators. He referred to Bruce, Lynch,
Elliott and others as representatives of
their race. On a platform surrounded by
one of the most intelligent audiences that
this country ever saw, he had heard Mr..
Hoar say that Elliott's reply to Alexander
H. Stevens attack upon the negro was
never excelled. 1t was masterful speech,
delivered at time when its influences were
felt.

WON'T SIGN THE CONTRACT.

Mr.. Exley Wants the Bay Street Ex-
tension Completed by Nov. l.
1t has leaked out that the halt in the
work on the Bay street extension has been
caused by Mr.. Exley's decllnation to sign the
contract agreed upon, the ground of his re-
fusal being that the city would not consent
to change the agreement which provided for
the completion of the work by Jan. l, 1890
Mr.. Exley wanted to substitute Nov. l, 1889.
In its stead, SO that he could get his crop in.
1t is said that the city will hold him to
his first proposition, and, if necessary, will
go into the courts to compel him to sign.
