BUTLER sMELLED LIQUOR.
A New Piece OF Evidence in the st.
Nicholas Case.


The taking Of testimony in the st. Mich
olas damage suits was begun before Com
missioner Christy, at the Office of w. r.
Leaken, Esq, at o'clock yesterday after
noon, and at Z o'clock last night an adjourn
ment was had until II o'clock this morning
Two witnesses were examined Yesterday
Richard Butler and Thomas Washington.
Butler is a rapid talker, and had to be
halted several times by the attorneys
and the stenographers, who found
it difficult to keep up with
him, and some' Of his expressions were
so quaint that the stenographers could find
no corresponding sounds for occasional
words coined by the witness.
Buffers testimony was, in the main
about such as was given by him
before the United States inspectors,
with some few exceptions. Butler
was one of the church committee, having
in charge the excursion to Brunswick, and
is recognized as the principal witness,
and in referring to the preparations for en-
barking at Savannah on the St Nicholas,
he testified yesterday that just before the
boat left her mooring place, Capt. Bou-
lineau was sitting in a chair on the wharf
with his head resting on his right hand, and
in passing where the captain sat, Butler says
he smeled liquor on his breath, and had he
known that Boulineau was to command the
vessel he would not have permitted his peo-
pie to have gone on the excursion. He was
under the impression that Capt. Uslna was
master of the vessel, and would have felt it
safe for the excursionists to 60 aboard.
The testimony of Washington was in the
same line as his former statement before
the United States inspectors of hulls and
boilers. Each of the witnesses was cross
examined at length as to the signals made
by tho steamboat on approaching the st.
Augustine creek drawbridge, and the posi-
ton Of the lights on the bridge. The direct
examination was by T. p. Ravenel, repre-
senting libellants, and the cross examina-
ton by h. r. Richards for the steamboat.
Capt. Boulineau was present portion of
the time, but was absent at the time Butler
testified to seeing the captain on the wharf
before the vessel left the city.

IT GOES AGAINST TUTTY.
MARRIAGE MORE A SOCIAL RELA-
TON THAN A CONTRA CT.

Judge Speer Holds that the State Law
Cannot be Evaded by Marrying
Elsewhere, and Then Returning and
Dornicling Within its Limits The
Tuttv Case to Go Back to the Lib
erty Superior Court.
The state won in the Tutty case yesterday
afternoon, the court remanding the two
cases against Tutty and his alleged wife
back 70 the superior court Of Liberty
county.
The decision Of Judge Speer was quite
lengthy, and occupied fully half an hour in
its delivery. Judge Speer held that
marriage is more of a social relation
than contract, and that the
parties could not evade the law of the state
by going elsewere and marrying and then
returning TO the state, domiciling here and
claiming that it is an impairment Of a CON
tract under the federal constitution, and
violating the law of the state, passed for the
regulation of society.
Numerous citations vera referred to, one
from Virginia of the same charac-
ter as the Tutty case, where it
was held that the interference of
the courts 10 punish tne Communication OF
a white and black person, claiming to
have been legally married in some other
state, is no impairment of a contract. In
concluding the decision, Judge Speer held
that the United States circuit court has no
jurisdiction, and the case was remanded.
Solicitor General Fraser Immediately
took orders in each case, in conformity with
the decision. Hon. F. @. duBignon, George
w. Owens, w. r. Leaken. and William
Pease, Of the Savannah bar, listened to the
decision with the closest interest.
The case will now go back for trial in
Liberty county, aud it was understood last
night that Tutty and his alleged wife, Rosa.
will appear at the next term Of the superior
court of that county for trial, and thus re-
lease their bondsmen, their bonds having
been estreated at the last term of the court.
Tutty aud the colored woman, claiming
that they were in peril if they continued to
reside in Liberty county after they were
indicted. removed to this city, and Tutty
is keeping little notion store on the Ogee-
chez road, south of Anderson street, and
north Of Battery park.

A VERITABLE CHESTNUT.
The Weather Stays just About So All
the Time.


Yesterday was warm day for this
season of the year, and the signal officers
predict that to-day will be warmer still.
The maximum temperature yesterday was
79e, which is 40 above the normal. The
same kind of weather prevails all over the
south.
A cold wave is passing over the great
lakes, freezing up everything in its path.
AT Chicago at o'clock last night storm
was raging and the wind was blowing
thirtys six miles an hour. The wave is not
apt to be felt down here, the observers say.
In the northwest the temperature is below
zero, and the weather is severe. No rain
fell anywhere in the south yesterday. 1t
is simply hot and dusty, and it is likely to
remain 80. The clouds that form in the
afternoons over the city are becoming YER
liable chestnuts. There's nothing in them.
and the people are tired of watching the
clouds roll by. The trees in Forsyth park
are yellow with dust, and the leaves look as
If they were about to wither and fall off.
The asphalt streets are at their ugliest.
When big gust of wind starts at East
Broad street it drives the powdery dust
rolling in great bodies clean through
Broughton and Liberty to West Broad
street. An old prophet said yesterday that
there is bound to be a change, and maybe
tonight will bring some.

a Butts County Prisoner Gives Mar
shall Lotion the Slip.

a Butts County Prisoner Gives Mar
shall Lotion the Slip.
John Walker played a serious joke upon
United States Deputy Marshal A j. Lotion
last Saturday night. Walker was prisoner
in charge of Lotion, whom the latter was
bringing to Savannah for commitment to
the Jail, having been turned over to the
officer by United States commissioner in
Butts county on the charge of violating the
internal revenue laws by selling moonshine
whisky.
1t appears from the report Of the officer
that he had lost a great deal of rest, and
somewhere between Macon and Savannah
he fell asleep, leaving his prisoner hand
cutfed to the seat Either a friend of
Walker unlocked the cuffs, and thus aided
the prisoner to escape, or he managed to
unlock the bracelets himself. At any rate,
when Lotion awoke he was surprised to
find his late prisoner missing and the empty
handouts dangling from the arm of the
seat A search of the train failed to disclose
any hiding place, Walker evidently having
jumped off between stations.
The escape was kept quiet, but before the
court adjourned last night Judge Speer in
quired of United States SMarshal Corbett
about it, and the latter confirmed the re-
port.
Marshal Corbett says that it is the first
prisoner who has escaped since he has been
in office, and if he fails to apprehend the
fugitive it will mean charging back to the
marshal OF the costs 80 far charged I'D to
the government, which will not amount to
more than $50.

Marshal Corbett to Take the Coveted
CounterfeiterS to Columbus.
United States Marshal Corbett will take
Charles Schottky.and Robert Moran to the
Columbus, O., penitentiary one day this
week, but when asked by a MORNING News
reporter, last night, what day he would
leave with the prisoners, he replied that
while he desired to extend every courtesy
to the press, to a question of that
chars cter he must always refuse to reply.
and he explained his reason. He
says that several instances of rescue de-
tailed by the newspapers have come to his
notice where friends of prisoners, posted as
to the movements of officers in conveying
them to state prisons, have watched the
opportunity and rescued them from the
officers. He does not propose to give the
friends Of the counterfeiters a chance to
attempt rescue. but it is expected that the
prisoners will take their Sunday dinners in
the Ohio penitentiary,
