4 Bull Dog of One OF the Principals
BUSHES to His Assistance.
ALBANY, GA. April 27.-H. b. Morgan
alias c. R. Black, a white man working on
the Brunswick and Western road, filed up
Saturday night with whisky and began
looking for fight. He finally stopped at a
house OF i'll repute, where girl lay very
sick. Boisey Bailey, a young man of this
city, was there, and Morgan tried Bailey's
fighting powers and found what he was
looking for. After few insulting words
they went together, clinched and fell.
Bailey had no weapon with which to defend
himself, and was at the mercy of Morgan's
keen knife. and would have been killed had
1t not been for his faithful bull pup. Bal
ley's dog ran up while Morgan was sitting
on his master slashing away at his heart
and seized him by the thigh, Jerking
Morgan fat on his back Bailey is cut
severely in several places, but won't die.
AS the dog had hold of Morgan the latter
made backhanded thrust with his knife
and almost severed one OF the animals fore
legs from his body at the shoulder Bailey
was carried home. and he and his good dog
were given medical and surgical attention.
Morgan was pursued by the officers and
captured just above the city on the river
bank and put in jail.

CHARLEsToNs CAMPAIGN.
Chairman Irby Throws a BombsheI
Among the Reformers.

CHARLESTON. S. c., April 27.-The pub
LEGATION to- day of an interview with Chair
man Irby of the state democratic executive
committee. in which Mr.. Irby gives
official recognition of the executive COM
mittee of the municipal Democratic party,
acted like bombshell in the ranks Of the
reformers. Chairman Irby's official utter
ances have caused a change in the political
system here. Democrats of both wings of
the party are utterly at sea, and no man
can tell what the harvest will be- The stu
ton is perplexing. The municipal demo-
cratic executive committee, whose official
existence Chairman IrbY recognizes, has
called a convention of the democracy of
Charleston to meet on April 80.
OPENING THE BOOKS.
Under this call the democratic books Of
registration we're opened today for revision
The registration was much larger than usual
The refOrmers have called convention to
meet on May 4, and have advised their
adherents not to take part In the convention
OF April Both. Both sides claim to have a
majority of the registered vote Of the city.
1t is understood that the ringsters, who
have democratic clubs organized in most of
the wards, will take part in the MAY con
vention by sending delegates. The proba-
bilities are that there will be big family
row.
A COUNCIL OF SAFETY.
1t is rumored tonight that State Senator
BUST will issue a call for meeting Of a
council Of safety, composed of the most
prominent members Of the party in Charles.
ton, the object of the meeting being to heal
the breach in the party. There are rumors to
the effect that a number of the new candi-
dates for the mayoralty will be brought
into the field. One of the most significant
rumors states that well organized move
ment has been started which has for its
basis the opposition of any candidate who
may be Of the Roman faith. This move
ment, it is said, is backed by
the Knights Of Pythias, an organization
which has come into considerable promi-
nence in this city within the past year or
TWO.

Peabody Fund Trustees Getting Tired
Of Bearing all the Expense.
ATLANTA, GA, April 27-Dr. J. L. NJ.
Curry, agent for the Peabody fund, has
been in consultation with Gov Northen and
State School Commissioner Bradwell to-
day, in reference TO tine annual teachers in
stitute held in this state for many years
past, entirely at the expense Of the Pea
body fund. The conference will be con-
cluded at Brunswick, whittier Capt. Brad
well has already gone and for which point
the governor and DR.. Curry have decided
TO set out tomorrow evening. No au-
nouncement Of the result of the conference
has therefore yet been made, but DIR. Curry
has stated that the Peabody trustees are,
and have been for some years, weary of
bearing the total burden Of the teachers
institute with no help whatever from the
state The doctor, it seems, has used his in
fluence with the trustees for the benefit
of Georgia. but even he thinks it about time
that the commonwealth should assume the
responsibility Of providing at least portion
of the money required for carrying on the
institution. DIR. Curry since his arrival in
the city has been entertained at the execu-
tive mansion. He declares that no state in
the union has done so little as Georgia for
the cause of education, with the possible ex-
ception Of louisiana.

large Norway rats going down hill toward

When they reached the waters edge the fore
most rat waded in, still leading its companion
which, when it reached the water, stopped and

FOUND BESIDE THE TRACK.
A Young White Girl Mysteriously In
jured Near Griffin.


GRIFFIN, GA, April 27.-Mystery sur
rounds the finding of Miss Speer, young
white girl about II years old, near the Cen
trail railroad track about half a mile north
of Lovejoy's station. She was found by
Engineer Bud Horn, who was in charge of
No. SO. the local freight coming south, and
passing there about $50 o'clock this morn
ing. He says he saw her some distance
ahead. She was lying about five feet from
the track. She was carried to Love
joys, where she is still uncon-
ecious. She has a long cash in
her head, and one shoulder is badly bruised.
She was sent from home to go to a neigh
boris house, but how long she had been away
is impossible to learn. Foul play is sus-
pected, Tor it is hardly probable that it is
the work Of q train, as only one passed
previous to the freight that could have
done it and that was the regular passenger
leaving Atlanta at 7:l0 o'clock this morning.
and the men of that train say she was not
there when they passed.
