Rescued from n Well

There lives an aged couple in Picking

able and ~virtuous lady. The old mo-
ther, like the most of those Of her
class, is n brutal virago, and never
misses an occasion To abuse and beat
her daughtcr-in.law. Tho latter bore
all her cuffs and blows with perfect
resignation, never once mentioning
her woes TO her own mother. On the
last occasion, being provoked with a
trliling cause, the iiendish mother-in.

incense and brand the back Of her
daughter-in-law. The latter, dreading
the execution Of this threat and de

end her existence. Accordingly, one
morning before daylight, she threw
herself into a we'll in the neighbor.

was cooling himself in the street,

sioner of the Old Bailey, or Central
criminal court. in London, was a
most eccentric man, both AS TO ideas
and in the expression Of them. The
author Of Bench and Bar says that,
in sentencing a prisoner convicted Of
stealing property from his employer,
he made the surprising statement:
Prisoner at the bar, if ever there
was a clearer ease than this of a man
robbing his master, this case is tina;

Again, in passing judgment On a
middle aged man, undeniably guilty,
he said, 1T is in my power To subject

considerably beyond the term of your
natural life; butthe court, in lis mercy,
will not 20 as far asst logically might,
and the sentence is that sou he trans.
ported for two periods of seven years
each"
1t is also recorded Of Arabin that, in
sentencing a man 10 a comparatively
light punishment, he used the words:
Prisoner at the bar, there are miti-
eating circumstances in this case that

and l will therefore give sou a ehanc,

Eight Applicants Undergo the Civil
Service Examination.
Eight applicants for government posi-
tons underwent the civil service examina-
ton yesterday in the United States court
room in the custom-house building. Six of
the applicants we're colored and two were
white. All of them were non-rez:dents
One OF the white applicants was from Balm
bridge, and tas other from Millen. The
col red applicants were from Glynn, Ware,
Scrfven, AID Bryan counties. The sxamina-
ton was principally conducted by Civil
Ssrvice Examiner George B. Hoyt, although
Chairman George w. Lamar and Paul
johnson, Of the local board, assisted por.
ton of the time.
Seven OF the applicants were examined
for the railway mail service, and one, a
bright-looking young mulatto, for the po-
sition Of departmental copyist.
The applicants were furnished six sheets
containing the questions TO be ans cred,
problems TO be solved, etc, the sheets being
furnished singly, and the time required to
complete each sheet was noted In the
margin. The young man from cambridge
was the first TO complete his work.
Probably the severest test made was the
card examination. One hundred cards. the
size OF an ordinary commercial envelope.
had photographed upon the face the fac sim
lie OF 30 many addresses, taken from letters
which had passed through the mails. The
applicant Tor position as railway mail
clerk had to run over these and read aloud
the address of each, twenty minutes being
his time allowance. While some of the adj
dres es were not very legible. none
Of them were illegible, but several
could not be read correctly by
the applicants. Errors of pronunciation. Of
miscalled letters in the address, or inability
to read any part Of the address, were
marked A MORNING NEWS rep rter was
permitted to witness the exami lation Of the
colored applicants with the mail cards, one
OF whom got through fairly we'll in eleven
aud half minutes, while the other REQUIRED
fourteen and half minutes, and did not do
nearly so well. The ari5hmeticai problems
were extremely simple, and yet two or
three who attempted to solve them had
despair plainly pictured on their faces.
In some OF the sheets filed out by appli-
cantS the geographical answers were anus
lngly incorrect, yet on the whole, consider
ing that some OF the applicants had
evidently had few educational advantages.
the answers were fairly correct. Some
questions were left blank, the writer's pre-
ferri not to make the attempt rather than
to b,under.
1t would appear from the absence OF Sa-
vannah applicants, that there are no Office
seekers in the city who want to go in
through the doors of the civil service

RAN OFF WITH A PISTOL.
Two Sharp Thieves Work a Congress
Street Gun Store

Two Sharp Thieves Work Congress
Street Gun Store.
A bold theft was committed yesterday on
Congress street. A negro who was looking
at pistol in John Wohanka's gun store
walked out of the store when the proprietor
turned his back and took the weapon with
him. An effort was made to catch the
thief, but he outdid his pursuers and
escaped.
The thief and his pal entered the store
while the clerks were busy, and one Of them
asked to see pistol, while tho other was ex-
amining something else. They were neatly
dressed mulattoes, and both wore yellow
crush hats. When the clerks attention
was drawn from the one who was examin-
lining the pistol to the other, who was
pricing something else, the one with
the pistol stepped out of the door and
walked down the street.
When the clerk turned and saw
that he was gone, he ran to
the door in time TO see the thief
turn a corner two blocks away. The clerk
gave chase, but he could not overhaul the
thief. The other negro escaped while his
pal was being pursued. The officers have
been put on the case, and a @ lorei man
whom it is believed was connected with the
theft has been arrested.

FIRE ON The KATIE.
The Steamer Has Narrow Escape
from Being Burned

The Steamer Has a Narrow ESCAPE
nom Being Burned
Fire broke out in the cotton cargo of the
steamer Katie while she was at Trowers
landing taking on cotton Monday after.
noon. The fire was discovered through the
smell of smoke. The captain went to the
forward deck, and, looking under the tar.
paulin covert &, saw the smoke coming up.
As Soon as the tarnaulin was removed the
flames leaped along the jute covered bales,
and strangely enough jumped over the
cotton covered bales.
Everybody set to work, passengers and
crew, in putting out the fire and rolling the
burning bales overheard. The water was
turned on, and as mucl Of the cotton for
ward was kept covered by water and wet
tarpaulins as was possible. AT one time it
looked as if the FIRE would sweep the
steamer, but its timely discovery aud the
prompt action of those on board in throw
ing the burning bales overheard saved the
cargo and vessel.
Seventeen OF the most burned bales were
rolled overheard, but we're recovered and
left at the landing in charge Of a watch
man. Twanty-three bales, partly damaged.
were brought to Savanna 3, where a survey
was held on them. the surveyor recon.
mending that they be sold for the benefit of
al concerned.
