BAD BL-OD IN YAMACRAW.

Sunday Stabbing ARRAY in Which
Alta TIA Negroes Are Principals.
George Williams, mulatto bricklayer
employed on the crematory furnace at the
foot Of Gwinnett street, was stabbed in the
right and left shoulder and cut in the neck
and forehead at 6 o'clock last night in Olive
street by J. P. Urner. colored maa in the
employ Of G0ode 81 Manning. Both of the
principals were lodged i the barracks by
Officer Baughn, and DR.. BrunHer was called
TO treat the ugly but not dangerous slashss
hail from Atlanta and had been fast fr lends
up to last night.
They agree, in the main, that there was
no real cause for the row. 1t appears that
W illiams and Urner had BEEN putting a
great deal Of Yamacraw whisky under
their belts, and Urner got into n row with
some Of the toughs Of Coopershop lane, but
a friend got hun away with a whole skin.
Williams came up afterward and told Ur-
ner lie had saved MIN from being mobbed
uy getting him out Of harms way, when
Urner gave him the lie and Williams
cJuutered with his right on Urner's probos-
els, which is one of his most prOmine It
facial organs aud as Urner arose Williams
gave him another singing blow, and then
Urner began to use his knife.
Interviews with the two participants cor
robOrate, except in minor details, this
version Of the ARRAY. Williams bled like
a pig, and he thought it was very wrong
that he should be kept in the barracks when
other man did the cutting, although he
was the agrsssor. The stabbing created
great excitement in Yamacraw.

Among Children.

among Cnlloren.
"Have you any white Shoes, No. 2j5T'
asked lady of one of the clerks in down
town shoe store the other day.
The clerk carefully went over the stock
to find that white shoes for infants had all
been disposed Of.
'Oh, am SO sorry," the lady said with a
touch of pathos in her tone, which aroused
the curiosity of the salesman, who asked
why she was SO particular In wanting white
shoes.
"Baby's dead" was the low reply IN a
deeper tone Of sadness.
IT ere has been unusual fatality among
infants this month, -" said a physician with
whom a MORNING News reporter was in
conversation yesterday afternoon, land
their sickness does not readily yield to
treatment"
What is the cause of this fatalitygn the
doctor was asked.
"WeL, it has been a phsnomenally hot
and dry month for May, with cold nights,
and has been unusually severe upon children
teething. Cholera infantum aid intestinal
troubles cause the fatality, and the quality
OF the milk and the neglect of nurses
have had much to do nth it, too.
| have invariably counselsd mothers TO
take their infants, affected, out OF town as
soon as poss bic, and especially to the salts.
This do for the double pu pose Of giving
the little ones the purer air SO much needed,
and to some extent getting them out Of the
control # the nurses, aud insuring a closer
maternal tention."
Health OHcer Drummer was seen last
night, and was asked if there has been a
general fatality among infants this month
i he said that it has been proportion
ateIy greater than in any pr vious month
since he has been health officer.
DR.. Drummer as asked wat is the nature
OF the complaints, and he said that there
we're some cases of cholera infantun but
principally the deaths were from entero
coltis, or inflammation of the stomach and
colon, and it has bee fatal to children, both
Of white and colored, up to the age Of 5

SIGNS OF THE WEATHER
What the Old Prophets Said About a
Dry May.

There are many weather proverbs relat-
ing t. May, but that one which will most
Interest the proprietor of the scorched truck
farm and the dry cotton and rice fields is
that "a dry May is followed by a wet
June" Certainly May has been dry enough
II has been 8 windy May, and there IS a
Portuguese prOverb that "a windy MAY
makes fair year. The Scotch have a say
ing that
"A cold May and wind
Makes full barns and pridy."
There are quite lumber OF encouraging
proverbs which apparently fit the present
month. Some of them are given below:
''lf May will be gardener he will not
fill the era 1aries.n
Look at your corn in May,
And you'll come sOrrowing away;
Look at it again in June,
And youll come singing another tune"
"a cold May riches no one."
"a cold and windy Nav will fill the barn. u
"a dry May and leaking June
Make the farmer whistle merry tune"
BE 1t early, or be IT late,
May will bring the cOrnquake."
The Germans have a proverD that "Wet
May means dry JULY
Ihera Is an Afric proverb that If a
dead 81 Ike be hung up It will soon rain
This is accounted for from the fact that
snakes hunt food before a rain and are Of
tener met with killed. There is also a
proyerb that 1.-THE louder the frogs, the more's
the rain.0 1t IS remark BILE coincidence
that during the present drought frogs
have held their peac', and The sound of a
frog in Bilbo or the Ogeechee ca al has sell
dom been heard this month, wnen they
usually croak all thr ugh the May nights
The absence of glow-worms and fire-hes
have also been noted this month, showing
tha- they are fec ed by the dry weather,
as there are proverbs predicting rain when
they are seen in consid rable MI !bers
The peculiar color the sky at evening
and morning has for centuries been mar
rowly watched, aud the weather predicted
from the appearance of the sunset. The
sunsets during the mouth have been in
varlably red, and as long as they continue
so dry weather may be expected. 1t is this
observation which ha led to the saying:
Evening red and morning gray
VIII set th- traveller on his way.
But evening gray and morning red
VIII bring down rain upon his head"
This was a sign in the days wnen the
Savisr was on earth, as may be seen by the
narratives Of st. Matthew, who, in relating
the Incl lent of the Pha isees and Sadducees
coming to the Master and desiring him to
show them a sign from heaven, were
ans vered:
when it is evening, We say it will be
fair weather; for the sky is red. And in
the morning it will be foul wea her, for the
sky is red and lowering. Ye can
discern the face of the sky.n-Matthew xvi,
2, 8.
