Later Details.

A party Of unknown men attacked the
jail at Jessup at 3 A. NJ. driving away the
guards In a few minutes the doors were
battered in, and four men, entering the jail,
shot and killed Peter johnson and Bill HOppS
two Of the cOlOred men captured while riot
ing the day previous The former had been
wounded in the fight. The military were
stationed about a half mile from the Jail, but
by the time a detachment arrived there
everything was quiet The commander of
the military had suggested to the Mayor
that a detail of soldiers should be put
duty at the jail, but the latter thought that
the Sheriff and his deputies could protect
the prisoners.
The most trustworthy information is that
ten people were killed. namely, Barnhill and
Woods (white), by Brewer; Anderson, (white),
accidentally; johnson and Hops (colOred),
in JAIL Fluett (colored), in the street; and two
were not given.
A posse of twenty men, under command
of S. White, left Jessup on the East Tennes-
see, Virginia and Georgia Railroad mail train

that, if he got out of Mcmillan Swamp, he
would 90 to his mothers. A crowd OF armed
men, who returned from trip to the swamp,

RIOT IN A GEORGIA TOWN.
A Conflict of Races Results i'm
Many Casualties,
The Governor Orders Troops to
the Scene of the Trouble.

Some excitement was caused in Savannah.
Ca, by reports that race riot" was IT pro
gress at Jessup, a village Of about 1909 in
habitants fifty-seven miles southwest OF
there on the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railroad.
The trouble started about two o'clock in
the afternoon. and was caused by the Marshal
of the town. D. Leggett, who attempted 70
arrest a drunken colored man. who resisted
and drew a revolver on the Marshal. He
was Immediately dubbed for his pains,
and several other colored men who
were standing by drew their weapons
and began firing at the officer, who
was seriously wounded in two places. The
Assistant Marshal, Matthew Barnhill, hear
ing the firing came running. but was shot
dead before he could do anything. Seeing
other whites coming, the cOlOred men hed
toward the Ogeechee Swamp, which lies near
the town and there rallied, and with several
newcomers charged the town. They We're
met by resident whites armed with Win
chester rifles and revolvers ard driven back
to the swamp.
AS their number was constantly aug
mented by new arrivals, the Mayor of the
town telegraphed for troops. A platoon OF
the Georgia Hussars of Savannah. was sent
to Jessup on the 3 o'clock train, armed with
revolvers sabres and carbines Meanwhile
the colOred men made another charge, which
resulted in the death of w. II. Woods, a cy-
press lumberman, and in the serious wound
ing of w J. Woods, assistant station agent
the uncle of W H. Woods. One colored
man was also killed and several wounded.
Three were captured and locked in the local
Jail The colored men retreated to the
swamp and only made one sortie, nothing
coming of it.
When this report was written several we'll
disposed colored men were scouting for
the whites, and the information gained
by them it was hoped, would result
in the capture of large part of
the rioters The list Of casualties so
far as known is as follows: Dead:
Matthew Barnhill, Deputy Marshal, shot
through the heart; W. H. Woods, cypress
lumberman shot in the heart. Wounded
D. Leggett, Marshal. shot in the face and
through the legs; NJ. J. Woods assistant
station agent, shot through both
thighs Several others, whose names
could not be learned, were slightly
hurt Among the colored men one was
killed outright and several wounded
A second platoon of the Georgia Hussars was
sent to Jessup at night to assist in patroling
the town, and the Savannah Volunteer
Guards Third Battalion Of Georgia, held
themselves il readiness to march at
short notice. It was thought, how
ever that the troops already there,
with the townsmen and men from the sur
rounding country, who were pouring in
rapidly, would be strong enough to quell the
disturbance. Captain w. W. Gordon, of the
Georgia Hussars, who is a veteran Of the late
war and a fine officer, was in charge Of the
white forces.

An Interesting Game That Was PLAYED In
ireland Centuries Ago.

An Interesting Game That was PLAYED In
Ireland Centuries Ago.
Probably very few people around New
York know much about the Irish ma
tional game, hurling. 1t is played in
this vicinity only by the vigorous New
York branch of the Gaelic Association,
which is making strong effort to
revive interest in the old Gaelic games.
The game is one of the Oldest extant.
There is hardly doubt that it was
played in Ireland, with some modifica-
lions, as far back as two thousand years
ago. The game in Irish is called baire,
and the stick or hurley used is called
canaan Hurting appears to be mixture
of polo on foot hockey and lacrosse. and
is described by its enthusiasts as being
even more interesting than football.
When full teams of twenty-one men
each are playing, the ground used
should be 1876 yards long and 14O yards
broad, marked Off with boundary lines.
as in football. The goal posts stand at
each end, the object of the game, Of
course, being to drive the ball between
the posts. 1t must pass, however, UNI
derneath the crossbar, which is ten and
a half feet above the ground. When
the ball is driven over the cross-bar or
over the goal line within twenty-one
feet of either post, a point is scored
which counts in the total. The ar
rangement of the men for play is more
or less arbitrary. but the general plan
is as follows:
The goal-keeper, called in Irish the
cut60are, stands in front of and near the
goal, and two men cover the ''points. y
-Four others are stationed few yards in
front of them as pickets. In the center
of the field seven players are ranged
along much like the football rush
line. The position of the remain,
ing seven differs with differ
ent teams. They are generally up
among the enemy waiting their oppor-
tunity to capture the ball. The ball,
weighing between seven and ten ounces;
is made of cork and wooden thread COW
cred with leather.
The hurley is of wood, about three
feet long, curved at the end and fiat
tened. 1t may be of any pattern fam
cied by the player. The ball can be
struck with the hand or kicked, but it
must not be lif ted from the ground ex-
cept with the hurley. But it can be
caught when off the ground, and then
the hurler can bat it, or as it is termed,
''puck" it, in any direction. When the
ball is driven over the goal line outside
! the points a free ''puck" is allowed.
The time of play is one hour, the sides
changing goals at the end of thirty min
| utes.
The simplicity of the rules and the
great latitude allowed the players in
striking tho ball make the game most
interesting one to watch. 1t involves
more exercises even than foot ball and
quite as much as lacrosse nor is it so
dangerous as either.-N. y. Mail and
| Express.

THOUGHTS ON OLD AGE,

The feeling must of necessity como
to many aged persons that they have
outlived their usefulness: that thoy arc
no longer wanted, but rather in tho way,
drags on the wheels rather than helping
them forward. But let them remember
the often-quoted line of Milton
S"They also serve who only stand and wait"
This is peculiarly true OF them. They
are helping others without always being
aware of it. They are the shields. the
breakwaters of those who come after
them. Every decade is defense of the
one next behind it. AT thirty the youth
has sobered into manhood but the strong
men of forty rise in almost unbroken
rank between him and the approaches
OF old age as they show in the men of
fifty. AT forty he looks with a sense of
security at the strong men of fifty, and
secs behind them the row of sturdy SEX
agenarians. When tiftyis reached some-
how sixty does not look SO old as it once
used to, and seventy is still afar off. At
sixty the stern sentence of the burial
service seems to have meaning that one
did not notice in former years. There
begins to be something personal about
1t. But IL one lives to seventy he soon
gets used to the text with the threescore
years and ten in it, and begins to count
Himself among those who by reason of
strength are destined to reach fourscore,
of whom he can see number still in
reasonably good condition. Tho octo-
genarian loves to read about people of
ninety and over. He peers among the
Rsterisks of the triennial catalogue of
the University for the names Of gradu-
ates who have seen seventy years out Of
college and remain still unstarred. He
Is curious about the biographies. of CEN
fenarians. Such escapades as those Of
that terrible old sinner and ancestor of
great men, the Rev. Stephen Bachelor,
Interest him as they never did before.
But he can not deceive himself much
longer. See him walking on level
surface, and he steps off almost as we'll
NJ ever; but watch him coming down a
hight Of stairs, and the family record
could not tell his years more faithfully.
He cut you dead, you say? Did it occur
to you that he could not see you clearly
enough to know you from any other son
or daughter Of Adam? He said he was
very glad to hear it, did he, when you
told him that your beloved grandmother
had just deceased? Did you happen to
Eomember that though he does not al
low that he is deaf, he will not deny
that he does not hear quite SO we'll as he
used to? No matter about his failings;
the longer he holds on to life, the long
or he makes life seem to all the living
who follow him, and thus he is their
CONSTANT benefactor.-Oliver Wendell
