cut" and that in one or two in
stances he did not thrust out TO the full
len tn Of his in making the quartz or
tierce point; but these were very rare, as
only 4 points had been deducted from his
possible score. Following close upon
Trooper Waite came Trooper J. E. Norman
with a score of 5611, while Fleming. the
champion horseman ard swordsman OF the
Savannahs, made 55; ID. w. G. Waite, also
OF the Liberty first troop. made the score OF
5412; and j. r. Dozier, lieutenant OF the
Governors Horse Guard, 81. Three, there
fore, of the highest scores, the first, second
and fourth, were made by the first team Of
the Liberty Independent Troop.
Comparing this with the work at West
Point, it may be said that more accurate
and beautiful work with the saber 1t has
not been the writer's lot 70 witness in the
riding ball in some years Of experience
there. Still the riding at the Military
Academy Is of a far more difficult and try
ing character than that witnessed on the
smooth track of the race course.
The cadets at West Point are required
to cut at the heads and take their rings
sometimes with stirrups crossed, sometimes
barebacked, almost always leaping hurdles
between the posts, and instead Of having
straight track they have to ride around the
rectangle of the riding hall. their horses
often swerving, plunging and bucking,
and giving great trouble in the
management necessary. l doubt if any of
the swordsmen whom we saw at Macon
would find themselves at all at home in the
riding hall at West Point until after they
bad had daily practice for some little time.
On the other hand. believe that the cadets
graduated each year at the military acad-
envy would fad the work Of riding on a
perfectly straight track a mere bagatelie,
and that little practice would soon enable
them to do as handsome saber work as was
witnessed at the fair; yet have never seen
anything to equal the performance of the
Liberty Troop or that Of the second, the
Georgia HuSsars.
In the north we have some fine cavalry
organizations, notably the Philadelphia, the
Cleveland City Troop, the new troop in
New York, and the Milwaukee Light Horse
Squadron; but very little attention is
given in any of these, except during their
summer camps and field day. to the very
important instruction of running at the
heads, and it would take much practice and
sharp coaching to bring them to the point
where they could successfully compete with
their southern brethren.

he WAS DEAF AND DUMB.
The Body of the Man Killed on the
Tybss Road Identified.

Coroner Dixon held an inquest yester-
day over the body of the unknown man
killed on the Tybee road night before last,
which proved to be that Of Abram Price,
colored man, who had besn working at
Deptford, and was on his way to the city.
The coroner went out to LaPageville yes
tsrday morning and took charge Of the body.
which was lying on a bank alongside the
track. and covered up, about quarter Of a
mile this side of Fort Boggs. The mans
skull was crushed in and death must have
been instantaneous The body was placed
in a coffin, and was turned over to Prices
father.
Engineer Mahoney, of the construction
train which killed Price, in his statement
before the coroner, said that just as he was
coming round the curve this side OF Dept
ford, he saw three persons about seventy
five yards ahead of him on the track. Two of
them stepped off as the train approached aud
Mahoney thought the other would, but he did
not. The train was running about twelve
miles an hour. The engineer blew down
brakes, and the brakes were set when the
man was struck. He was on the south side
Of the track, and was thrown to the right.
The construction train was running ahead
Of the incoming passenger train, and had to
keep out of its way, aud so did not stop, but
ran on TO the siding, about a quarter of a
mile this side Of where the accident oc-
Cured.
The engineer, conductor and two hands,
with lamps, went back to where the man
was struck and found his body about
fifteen feet from the track in ditch. They
lifted him up on the bank, and laying hun
on a blanket, covered the body and left it,
The engineer said there was no one at the
depot to report the accident to Saturday
night, or he would have reported it,
A colored woman who was walking on the
track some distance behind Price when he
was struck said that he was deaf and dumb.
The man was a light mulatto, and in the
darkness when he was killed it was supposed
that he was a white man. What was sup
posed to be peddler's pack was bundle of
things that he was bringing from Deptford
to the city.

a CURIOUS SUPERSTITION.
Colored People Believe Gambler Col

Colored People Believe Gambler Cole
man VIII Not be Arrested.
The negro gambler, Isaac Coleman, who
terrorized the southeastern part Of the city
a few days ago, and robbed dwellings and
stores at will in broad daylight, has not
been captured yet, notwithstanding the
fact that mounted policeman went in pur-
suit of him and the polics force have been
on the lookout for him.
The colored people, or at least
some of them, say that Coleman
has q charmed life, and thet there
is no probability of his being ar
rested or of bullet doing him harm. They
are very superstitious, and believe there
are several ways in which person can be
saved from harm from any source.
An aged colored man, speaking Of the
gambler Coleman yesterday, said that
Coleman would not be caught, and that he
would not be harmed if loaded gun were
fred point blank at him. On being asked
the reason for this opinion he said that any
one who eats the meat from the jaw of a
perfectly black cat and carries about his
person that part of the bone of the cats
head which encircles either Of its eyes would
do anything he pleased with impunity He
asserted that he knew that Coleman
had caught black cat that
had no white spot on it,
had eaten the meat from its jaw and that
he now carried suspended from a string
around his neck the bone that had inclosed
one of the cats eyes, and ne was confident
that no policeman would capture Coleman
and that no one could injure him with any
weapon.
The old colored man declared that many
colored people were believers in the pro
tecting power of black cat meat and bone.

Tybee, and the excnrsionists had a very
pleasant day of it.
The larger portion of the crowd tried TO
quit the island by the $40 train, which
Brought up at least 500 passengers Most OF
these were excursionists, and they made

PARsoN ELLIS CONGREGATION.
Only Part of the Members Attend
the Monthly Communion.

Only Part of the Members Attend
the Monthly Communion.
Although two services were held at the
Greene Square Colored Baptist Church yes
terday everything passed off quietly. There
was no trouble. and the police was not
called on.
The attendance at the communion SER
vice in the afternoon was very small, about
80 being present, the aiority of whom
were sisters. The pastor administered the
communion. There was no clash, as the
opposition faction remained away from the
service, holding, the leaders said, that as
they we're not In unison with their brethren
it was not proper for them to commune
One of the leaders said after the service
that the opposition to the pastor is as strong
as ever.
"The pastor" said one of the deacons or
one OF the opposition who claims to be a
deacon, lis an educated, cultured man, and
we have always been proud Of him, but he
is too ambitious and too proud of showing
off his knowledge. The more ignorant
colored people are very sensitive on that
point, and when he makes it so plain
that he considers himself so far superior
had shown himself amenable to
church discipline this matter would have
been easily adjusted Where you see 200
or 300 of the most intelligent members of a
church arrayed against their pastor, you
can be sure something is wrong"
The deacon added that the opposition is
determined to carry its point A meeting
will be held tomorrow night to consider
the situation and to adjust the difficulty, if
possible.
There was no service in the church last
night. Two policemen were on duty in
the square, but they were relieved from
duty when the lights in the church were
put out
