WILL BE BUILT BY FALL.
The South Bound to be Ready for Next
Seasons Traffic.

-1A1OL
| il IS thought that the construction CON-
psny 70 build the South Bound railroad
Will he fully organized early in April
probably the first week in the month-and
if 50 an engineering force will be put on at
once TO locate the line, it being the general
desire 10 complete the road, If possible, in
time to move che large cotton crop tributary
to the road.
The question was asked Col. Mike Brown
yesterday, who was the center of a group
talking South Bound, if the road can be
finished in time for the fail traffic and he
replied that he could see no reason why,
with prompt action, the road cannot be in
operation by that time. Col. Brown has
had considerable experience in railroad
building and railroadiDg, and knows what
it means 20 hustle, something which will be
necessary in order to get the road in opera
tion next fall.
The grading is said to be light between
Savannah and Barnwell, as far as the
line will be built at present. and the only
heavy bridging is across the Savannah
river at Sisters Ferry. To construct this
bridge 1t will be necessary first to get a
special act of congress authorizing the COM
pany TO bridge the river, but no difficulty is
apprehended in securing such legislation
promptly, and the matter has already been
given preliminary attention.
1t is understood that when the question of
actual construction reaches the eliminating
point where work begins it will be sug-
gested that not less than two construction
corps be put to work, one at Barnwell and
the other at Savannah, and, if found prac-
ticable, third corps at the point where the
road will cross the Port Royal and Augusta
road, and it is argued that few lines of rail
way can be divided up into sections and
hurried through in construction as can
the South Bound, as, if necessary, 1t is prac-
ticable to work south from Barnwell, north
and south from the crossing of the Port
Royal and Augusta, north and south from
the Savannah river, and northward from
Savannah.
The South Bound committee, composed of
B. A. Denmark and Col. Mike Brown, and
accompanied by Herman Myers, president
of the South Bound, is expected to leave for
the north not later than Monday night, and
1t is expected that they will return the latter
part of the month, by which time all the
preliminary arrangements will have been so
far made as to permit the organization of
the construction company at once, and then
look out for the sappers and miners.

EXCITED BY RIOT RUMoRs.

a Story from Ridgeland, S. O., That
Caused Stir for Awhile.
Rumors of riot at Ridgeland, thirty
seven miles from Savannah, on the Charles
ton and Savannah railroad, created some
excitement yesterday afternoon. A Bay
street firm received telegram from its
agent at Ridgeland saying that there was
trouble there, and that arms and amrnuni-
ton would probably be needed. The rumors
seem, however, to have been exaggerated.
A Ridgeland special to the MoaNINe
NEWS says: "The reported riot at Boyd's
landing, near this place, seems to have been
only an alteration between a white man
and negro, caused, perhaps, from a too
free use of bad whisky. 1t was thought by
some that it might to-day assume a serions
shape, but the matter has been brought
before trial justice, and, upon the confes-
sion of the white man to striking the only
blow with his fist, he was fined IS and costs
All is now quietn
The conductor and passengers of the
Charleston train which arrived last night
reported no disturbance and everything
quiet when the train passed Ridgeland.

SIX INDICTMENTS FOUND.
The Superior Court Grand Jury's
Work.

The Superior Court Grand Jury'e
Work.
The grand jury of the superior court met
yesterday afternoon, and after a session OF
two hours brought in six indictments, as
follows:
Charles Barnwell, assault with intent to
murder. Barnwell is charged with stabbing
Frank Simson on March o.
Son Philip, assault with intent to murder.
Philip Is charged with stabbing Joseph Cas-
tello on June 30 last.
The indictment alleges that March he en-
tered the dwelling house of A. B. LaRoche
and stole gold watch and chain, each of
the value of $40.
Felix Mitchell, assault with intent to
murder. Mitchell is charged with having
stabbed William Mackey on Dec. last.
William Mackey, assault with intent to
murder. The allegation of the indictment
is that on Feb. 25 last Mackey fired pistol
at Joseph Mccall.
Richard Gibbs, larceny after trust This
indictment grows out of the malfeasance on
Feb. 10 last, fully detailed in the MORNING
NEWS at the time when Gibbs flight, and
the exciting pursuit and capture of the
refugee, followed closely upon the detection
of Gibbs method of pocketing money en-
trusted to him, as boss drayman, by Eek
man q Vetshurg to pay freight bills at the
ocean Steamship Company. Eckman a
Vetsburg are the prosecuting witnesses, and
the Indictment alleges that Gibbs converted
to his own use $23 - which Eckman &
Vetsburg had entrusted TO him to pay
freight bills with

AFTER THE MAGISTRATES.
MIR. Bourquin Presents Them Before
the Grand Jury.

tAC 0Edu0 jury.
1t is not known what action, if any, the
grand jury will take on the declination of
the justices of the peace to meet and organ
ize as board of road commissioners and
apportion the streets of the city to be worked
by calling out the citizens, as they were re-
quested to do by Mr.. Bourquin, chairman
of the county road commissioners.
MIR. Bourqutn, since the refusal of the
justices to act, has said that he would bring
their derelictions to the attention of the
superior court grand jury at its first sitting
after the adverse decision of the magis-
trates, and be was as good as good as his
word land went before the grand jury yes
terday afternoon. What transpired In the
jury room Is, Of course, a court secret, as
no action was reported In open court
1t Is understood, however, that the grand
jury will first ask a legal opinion from
Solicitor General Fraser before determining
what course may be legally pursued. The
solicitor general has evidently not expected
TO be drawn into the muddle, and would
hardly have been prepared to advise fully
on short notice.
In recent interview with Solicitor Gen.
eral Fraser, a MORNING NEWS reporter
asked him for an opinion as to whether sec
ton Coz Of the code is of force, as Mr.. Bour-
quln wants to apply it to repair the western
extension of Gwinnett street and that por-
ton Of the Louisville road lying within the
limits of the municipality, or whether the
consolidated road laws Of Chatham county
enacted in 1876 voided the section referred
to In so far as the city of Savannah is in
terested. Mr.. Fraser frankly admitted that
ne was not prepared to give legal opinion
without review of the matter and full
reference to the road laws, and that he was
not inclined TO attempt, with the volume of
court work demanding his time and atten-
ton, until the necessity should arise for
looking the matter up.
Mr.. Bourquin having presented the mat
ter to the grand jury yesterday the question
now arises, will the grand jury indict the
derelicts next Wednesday, to which time it
was excused last night by the court.

RIVERS DID RIGHT.
The Superior Court Jury AcQuits Him
of Assault and Battery.

The Superior Court Jury Acquits Him
of Assault and Battery.
In the superior court yesterday afternoon
a jury acquitted Alfred Rivers (colored) of
the charge Of assault and battery upon John
Maxwell in less than five minutes after
going to the jury room.
This was a second trial of the case, a
mistrial having once been declared. The
prosecuting witness failed to put in an ap-
pearance yesterday. 1t appears that the
boss of the Belt Line street car stables
had left Rivers in charge of the premises.
instructing him to permit none of the sex
ira" drivers to go in the stables, and that
Maxwell, with lighted cigarette, insisted
on disobeying orders, and when Maxwell
was being elected he assaulted Rivers, who
used broken bali bat on the trespasser,
and SO effectually that he was glad to DROP
his weapon and leave the premises, threat
ening revenge.
The jury was charged by the court that
battery could be met by battery under cir
cumstances such as Rivers claimed to have
acted, and let the prisoner go acquit,

The Reasons Why stein way Pianos
Are Superior to All Other Pianos.


The Steinway Pianos have been awarded
the first premium everywhere when placed
in competitor with those of other manufact-
urers. Their SCALES" peculiarities of con-
struction, and various improvements are
initiated as closely as possible by all Ameri-
can and nearly all European manufacturers.
A large number of the latter publish that
their instruments are constructed on the
Steanody system" SteintOay Dc Sons use
steel frames, and steel agraffes cast in their
own foundry, while all other manufacturers
use only common iron cast in different
foundrles, not their own. Steinway Pianos
nave moth and t0Gter-proot hammers, a
patent or their own, patented overstrung
scale in the form of an open fan, a capo
castro bar Of chilled Steinway steel. q
steel hammer rail imperyious to climatic
changes. The celebrated tone pulsator
giving their Pianos that remarkably sweet
singing and sustaining tone not found in
any other piano. They contain thirty-fve
patented improvements not found in any
other instrument Examine the inside of
any first-class piano, ask if its frame is
made of STEEL if the agraffes are steel. if the
hammers are moth and iUdteT-p proof. if the
hammer rail upon which the hammers rest
is made of steel, not of wood affected by
changes of temperature. ASK to see the
tubular action frame, the patent overstrung
scale in the shape of an open fan Several
owners of old Steinway Pianos have been
approached to exchange them for new,
cheap pianos We have advised them
then, and do SO now, never to exchange a
Stein10dy, no matter how old, for one of
those new, cheap, and almost unknown
pianos. Your old piano now is perhaps
better than the new piano will be in year
or two. We have paid for the genuine
Steinway Piano, thirty years old, 5000
cash, when we COULD have bought a neqo
cheap" piano from 800 to Sl25, which
sell from $3.50 to $500. A word to the wise
Is sufficient.

rsPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcHl
SOMERSET, Dec. 2.-Between l and 2
o'clock to-day the town was thrown into an
other state of excitement by the sudden and
unexpected delivery to Sheriff Mcmillan of
Joe Nicely by John j. Barclay, farmer
living less than mile north of the town.
Farmer Barclay saws:
EARLY this morning, accompanied by
Robert Hostetter aged 16 years. who lives
with me, we made search for Joe Nicely,
but made no discovery. After dinner the
boy went toward my barn and heard some
one calling. l followed the lad ana went
into the tower, or stock department of the
barn, but did not hear the voice that called
10 the boy. The lad was much frightened
when he saw the man who halted him. He at
once reported to me that suspicious looking
man was out in front OF the barn who wished
TO see me at once.
when l approached him at once recog-
nized hIm Joe Nicely. He limped forward
and made himself known and voluntarily gave
himself up, stating that he had been secreted
under the straw in the east side of the barn
ever since $50 Saturday evening last without
toOd or water. and suffered intense cold. The
injuries he received from his escape from the
jail were so great that he could no longer en-
dure them. His right foot Is badly frozen and
his leg either broken or badly spraned above
the ankle 1t is much bruised, swollen and dis
colored up to the joint, ana he says his suffer-
lngs were intense soon after he left the jail and
ever since"
When he made himself known to Mr..
Barclay he requested him not 10 give HIM
away, lntlmatlnE that he would like TO be
taken TO his house. Mr.. Barclay. who is a
promin ent member of the Dunkard Church,
could not see 1t in that light. and lost no time
in fitting JOe comfortably for trip TO Somer-
set Jail. At 2:S0 p. NJ. to-day. he was delivered
10 the authorities in charge of the jail.
