Listened to John Lind.

When Senator Washburn's resolution
asking the government TO lend aid in
transporting the donation of Minnesota
and the Northwest to the sufferers in
Russia, the Democrats of the house, for
reasons known only to themselves, vo.
ted it down. One member, Mr.. f.. A..
Morse, of Massachusetts, went so far as
to suggest that the donation be given
so as to exclude the Russian Jews.
This brought many members to their
feet and all severely criticised the stu
pid proposition. But the clear and
clean-cut remarks of Mr.. Lind, the dis
patches say, were the best that were
made, and when he got through talking
Morse amendment was voted down
with hardly vote in its favor. Mr..
Lind in his short speech said, that it
was absurd to attach a proposition Of
this kind to charitable gift. In the
case of the Northwestern state which
he represented the donation came trom
the hearts Of the people who desired to
contribute to the suffering and famine
stricken people of Russia. His little town
Of New Ulm, of 4, 900 inhabitants, contri-
buted several tons of flour. He said
it was the policy Of the gentleman from
Massachusetts, and a great many others
who came from his section when they
found man starving to preach to him
and to feed him on tracts and pious lit
erature. In the great state of Minneso-
ia and in the whole Northwest ii was
the policy Of the people when they
found man starving land in trouble
to feed him and administer to his
spiritual wants afterward. He added:

Increase.
Over Seven Hundred Dollars more than

LATEST FROM CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, June %. p. NIT is said
the selection of vice-president lies be-
tween Gray of Indiana and Stevenson
of Illinois and Mitchell of Iowa, with
chances IN favor of Stevenson. The
argument being that he is more likely to
carry his state than any other. Boies
should be choice but will not accept.
Under the new apportionment of votes,
accorded the territories it takes COZ
votes to nominate instead of $50 under
the old arrangement. Therefore it will
take COZ to nominate the vice president.
Nominations are confined to five min
ute speeches, seconds to two minutes.
Arkansas gave its place TO Indiana.
Lamb of Indiana nominates Gray.
Worthington of Illinois nominates
Stevenson.

An Unusual Incident During the st.
Patrick's Day Parade.
An incident of the st. Patrick's day cele-
bration occurred during the parade of the
Irish Jasper Greens. Capt Flannery had
halted the company on Liberty street. near
East Broad. 1t was at rest when the beat
ing of drum was heard on one of the side
streets.
A moment later a colored funeral process
sion, with an escort of a dozen colored
soldiers, wheeled into the street in front Of
the Greens. Capt Flannery Immediately
brought the company to attention and gave
the military salute to the escort. The in
cident was an unusual one. It is probably
the first time since the war that white and
colored military company have met
on the streets of Savannah. The
manner Of the meeting shows
the strict adherence to discipline that
is enforced by companies Of
the First regiment. The salute
was required by military usage and it was
given with the same respect with which 1t
would have been given TO a superior COM
mand. The incident, because of its un-
usual character, WAS the talk in military
circles yesterday. Had the Greens neglected
the salute. particularly while at rest, it
would have been fragrant violation OF
military custom which has become law.

Heavy Damage Expected on the
Truck Farms To-day.
The cold wave predicted by the weather
bureau for yesterday morning arrived on
time. A steady cold prevailed all day.
with high wind, which seemed to drive
the chilly air to the very bones.
Northern people fleeing from colder
climate complained greatly of the cold and
said 1t affected them more than the weather
at the north. Two gentlemen who declared
they we're born and reared in Alaska said
they felt perfectly at home.
IL was really the coldest day of the year,
the maximum temperature being only 49s
and the minimum 379, the mean being 16e
below the normal.
The truck farmers were greatly alarmed
for their growing crops which were in fine
condition before the cold wave arrived.
Numbers of them were at the Office Of the
weather bureau inquiring what the pros
poets we're. They said if the freeze which
was predicted for last night materialized
great damage would be done to the CROPS.
The crop chiefly subject to damage is the
green pease of which several hundred acres
are up and growing very finely. In fact, In
ten days more the new pease wouldhave been
on the market. Thousands Of dollars worth
OF damage has probably resulted by this
time.
The maximum velocity OF the wind was
twenty-six miles per hour from the north
west. The temperature fell la the South

place in Southern Louisiana, East.

AN ALDRRMAN's LIVELY CHASE.

Sets an Example.

The Member From the First District
Sets an Example.
Alderman O'Brien made one little coIored
kid feel the weighty arm Of the law yester-
day morning, albeit at a loss of his official
dignity. The alderman is most jealous in
the enforcement of the city ordinances, aud
especially those which from long neglect
are in danger OF being forgotten, or were
before the present administration came into
office.
About O'Clock yesterday morning the
alderman caught Henry Foreman, small
sized negro boy, in the act of writing OBJ
scene language upon his stable wall on
West Broad street. Alderman O'Brien has
suffered great annoyance from these petty
offenders and he determined to make an
example Of this particular one
The alderman took the boy in his buggy
and started with him to the barracks. The
prisoner made no resistance until the bar
racks was reached. Just as Alderman
O'Brien stepped from his buggy the boy
hoped out on the opposite side and
''scooted" for all he was worth. Nothing
daunted, the alderman pursued with might
and main, and Notwithstanding his goodly
proportions, made such good time that be
was soon in arms reach of the boy. The
lad, however, was an adept in the
art of dodging, and easily
avoided the hand of the alderman. Up and
down ia the sands of South Broad street
the alderman and the boy raced each other
TO the delight of the passers-by and the
policemen, who viewed the scene from
cafe distance. Both were well blown when
the boy started on one last run for liberty
down the street. Close behind him pursued
the breathless aldermen with outstretched
hauds. Suddenly the kid squatted like q
rabbit and over him in his headloDg rush
went the alderman, measuring his
full length upon the sands OF
South Broad street. Doubtless he was glad
the street was not paved. The heavy feet
of the alderman held the kid safe, how
ever, and securing a sure grasp upon his
prize the alderman escorted the little moke
to the barracks. He was held on the charge
Of committing a nuisance by writing OBJ

THE VERDICT A SURPRISE.
The Pittmen Trial Ends Differently
Than Expected,

The Pittmen Trial Ends Differently
Than Expected.
The jury which acquitted Pittmau, the
slayer Of Jones, came in for considerable
talk yesterday. Nearly everybody who had
listened to the case. and especially the court
officers. expected a verdict of manslsughter,
either voluntary or involuntary. The ac-
quittal was therefore surprise
The twelve men, who no doubt were con-
scientious in their finding, would feel any
thing but complimented il they heard the
varied and, in many instances. strong LAM
guage opinions expressed about their ver-
dict.
One of the jurymen held out for murder

10 o'clock, when be weakened and went
over to the eleven for aoquittal.
Another said the way the verdict was ar
rived at was the exclusion of Jones' ante
mortem statement and the acceptance of
Miss Parker's story. He stated that the
jury DIDN'T believe dying man could have
been In disconnected shape, as dying people
usually talk, weight might have been
given 1t.
Still another member of the jury seemed
to regard the verdict as the only one that
could have been arrived at under the evil
denoe. He was under the impression that
the state had not made out its case at all
and seemed perfectly satisfied that Pittman
acted in selt-defense. From what he said
IL appeared that the failure of the state to
introduce certain evidence, which it was
understood beforehand would be intro
duced. had great effect. the impression
created upon the minds of the jury being
that the evidence would have proved favor

1t is not expected that jury should take

jury evidently took different view OF this
