ASSAULTED. While Mr.. Charles Fraley
was attending to business at the Catoctin
Furnace store, he was seriously cut by ST.
mon Miller, without provocation. 1t seems
that without warning, Miller, who was under
the influence of liquor, made u plunge at Fra
ley with KNIFE, to- disembowel HIM, but did
not succeed; he then followed up his strike,
and succeeded IN reaching him this time,
striking him in the shoulder, cutting cash
six inches in length and to the bone. Mr..
Fralev's condition is a critical one and Miller
has left for parts unknown.

There is 80 much talk Of dull tmesn in

WILL ACCEPT The WARRANTS.
Treasurer Russell's Letter to tn
County Commissioners

Treasurer Russelrs Letter to the
County Commissioners
County Treasurer Russell partly carried
out his threat yesterday not to accept war
rants signed by Capt John R. Dillon as
clerk Of the county commissioners.
Capt. Dillon issued his warrants 70 several
county officers aud to the jurymen OF the
city court. but when they were presented for
collection Mr.. Harden declined to accept
them, stating that he was acting under the
lnstruc tions Of the treasurer. In all sixteen
warrants were refused recognition. The
city court jurors were disappointed at not
being able TO secure their money. Some
who were anxious for their pay disposed Of
their warrants at a discount.
4 few minutes before O'clock Treasurer
Russell decided 10 recognize the authority
of the county commissioners, and sent the
following letter TO Capt. Dillon:
SAVANNAH, Dec 70. 1891.
To the County Commissioners Of Chatham
DxAR SIRs-I am in receipt Of a copy Of the
resolution or act ofyour body, which appointed
John K Dillon. Esq, on Dec. 9, 1891, to sign
and issue certain warrants TO bs drawn on me
as county treasurer. | believe that your action,
so appointing said Dillon as your agent or at
tOrney in fact. festens the responsibility of his
acts on your body. l am prepared. therefore,
to recognizes said warrants under your appoint
ment or MIN, made after question raised by my
letter OF Dec 8, 1891. TO you. l do this without
waving or Withdrawing one step from the posi-
ton then taken, that Mr.. Dillon now holds the
office OF clerk of county commissioners Of Chat
ham county contrary to Law. and his acts as
such without your special appointment would
have been illegal, and would have refused to
honor the same without the Endorsement OF
your honorable body Yours faithfully,
WARiNG RUSSELL, County Treasurer.
Capt. Dillon thinks Treasurer Russell's
sudden change Of front was caused by his
learning that if he persisted in refusing to
accept the county commissioner warrants
section 500 Of the Code would be enforced
against him. This section reads as follows:
IF any county treasurer shall thus buy up
any county order or claim or refuse to pay
an order when be has funds to pay the
same or illegally postpones one, he shall be
removed from Office on complaint aud
proof being made to the ordinary; and is
moreover guilty Of a misdemeanor, and
upon conviction shall be fined not less than
500 or more than $500.
The next step, one of Mr.. Russell's friends
said last night, will be quo warranto pro-
ceedings, which will take the question of
Capt. Dillon's right to the two offices now
held by him into the courts.
Capt. Dillon has so far the advantage of
the fight as he has won both the question Of
retention of his offices and the recognition
of bis variants

A Few Remarks on the DoinRs in the
Leading Business Circles

A Few Remarks on the Doings in the
Leading Business Circles.
No matter how the general trade Of the
town has been for the past three weeks.
there has been at least one firm that has
sold more goods than has ever been turned
cut Of retail store in this city during the
same space Of time. When il became
known that Morrison, Foye a. Co, had iu-
augurated their great dissolution sale.
crowds began to visit the establishment to
see what inducements we're offered to the
| public.
The results of these visits are shown by
the fast reduction of the mammoth stock
and the continuance Of the crowds that
pack the store every day.
This sale has been the most successful
ever recorded in the annals of the dry goods
business Of Savannah From early morn
ing till night eager, excited and enthu-
stastic multitudeS have thropRed TO this
store to secure the great bargains. The
crowds have been so great that the doors
have had to be closed Tor two or three hours
each day 70 enable the busy clerks to serve
the customers already packed within the
store, while the anxious customers on the
outside wait patiently for their turn to
enter.
This great and successful sale is a wonder
to the people of Savannah. AS a usual
thing sales Of this character are looked u pon
with suspicion. They are termed "schemes,n
clap trap" bogus" and like fictitious
names. But with a firm whose name is
synonymous with fair dealing and lepu-
tasion so honestly earned as that Of Morri-
sou, Foye q Co., 1t is guarantee that the
goods offered are Of a quality and style I'M
surpassed by any stock in the city, and
that the prices at which they are offered is
sufficient inducement to attract the atten.
ton Of the public. No wonder the vast
crowds are taking advantage of these Offer
ings. The goods are all marked in plain
figures. and any one can buy at their uni
formly low prices.
The sale viii continue until the entire
stock is cold.
