JUSTICE HowERToN's COURT.

Joe Maize Gets Six Months on the Chain
gang.
Justice Howerton had only one case
before him yesterday evening, that of
q negro who said his right name was
Joe Maize, but had been passing under
several different names, charged with
stealing box Of cigarettes and
bucket of apple butter from the Ameri-
can Preserving Works. He was rccog-
nized by the justice as an old offender
He plead guilty of stealing the cigar
cites, but denied the other charge. A
very intelligent negro boy, an employe
of tho American Preserving Works,
testified against Joe and the justice
thought the evidence conclusive, and
sentenced him to six months on the
chain-gang.
Bill Hickman's case was set to come
off at 9 p. m. yesterday, but was again
put off and will probably not be tried
before the iusti 20 at all, as it will come

NO PLACE FOR A LADY.
How Farmer Edmunds Got n Place for n
Halifax Man.

How Farmer Edmunds Got n Place for n
Halifax Man.
A few days ago Representative Ed
munds, by special request, accompanied
another Southern Congressman to the
Agricultural Department. Tho latter
needed the Halifax county farmers in
fuence toward securing a position for a
lady in the seed division of the depart
ment. When the two members were
ushered into the presence of tho Secre-
tary, the gentlemen who was anxious to
secure the place for the lady, addressed
General Rusk about in this fashion, after
stating the preliminaries: 81 am very
anxious, Mr.. Secretary, to secure the
position for this lady. Being new
member and in an opposite political
party, asked my distinguished friend,
Mr.. Edmunds, chairman of the impor-
tant committee on expenditures in the
Department. of Agriculture to accom-
pany me and use his influence"
This reference had visible effect on
the secretary, and Farmer Edmunds
looked his best when no was held up as
a sure-enough chairman in the biggest
Democratic body that ever assembled at
Washington. General Rusk had evi.
IDENTIFY been impressed, and he hesitated
several moments before replying. The
member felt confident he would get the
place, but the secretary turned to Far
mer Edmuds instead of addressing the
member urging the appointment of the
lady, and said:
II regret very much, Mr.. Edmunds,
that have no vacancy to which lady
can be appointed. If you had only
asked for the appointment of man /
n1n Of III
would be only too happy to serve you"
With Chesteriieldian bow and smil-
ing in his most gracious and affable
manner, Farmer Edmunds said quick
as a flash and with deal of emphasis:
THANK you, Mr.. Secretary, thank you.
Really, sir, you arc very kind. | did
not expect this prompt action. have
the very man you want and he will be
here Monday morning."
Then the two mem bers babe the sec
rotary good morning, and tho thing was
worked so neatly that the member who
got left could not Cor second think of
the slightest resentment. This morn
ing Farmer Edmunds went over to the
Department again accompanied by Mr..
Jas. Warrington, OF Halifax, and that
gentleman was appointed.
In introducing him to General Rusk,
Farmer Edmunds said that he was not
only worthy man, but handsome
one, as he could see. After sizing up
Mr.. Warrington "Uncle Jerry" asked
him what he would do if he was told to
take mule by the ears. 81 would pull
away at that mule said Mr.. Wadling-
ton, until something gave way-ears.
hide or tail"
You'll do, young man, said the sec
rotary, and "Uncle Jerry put the Hall

Edmunds is happy, and his experiences
at the Department are furnishing some
good laughs when related on the floor
on the House.

Peter jackson Protects . Woman.

According to a letter received in this city yes
terday from England by a prominent sporting
man, Peter Jackson engaged in fstic encounter
recently, and clearly demonstrated that besides
being fighter, he is also a gentleman. His op-
ponents were four low browed and dangerous
toughs, VINO frequent the race tracks and vile
sporting haunts, SO numerous in England
However, Peter brought them to grief with neat
ness and dispatch. AS general rule Peter ia Of
quiet disposition, and never ipduges in
scrimmages or fistic arguments outside the ring
unless he is PROMPTED to do SO by unfavorable
circumstances Upon the day in question it ap-
pears that Peter was taking refreshments in a
small hotel near Doncaster. There were a lot
OF toughs about aud they at once began TO in
duige in the most violent language to bar.
maid who was serving them with drinks.
They kept up this sort of thing for
some time. Then Peter thought it was
time to act, and with well-merited 70.
proof he told them to keep quiet and behave
themselves. This only added more fuel to the
fire and made matters worse One OF the
toughs approached the colored fighter an /
threatened to do him, while another took aim
and hurled a lumber at Peter, striking him in
the forehead. Although partly stunned he made
q rush at the toughs and struck out right and
left He soon had the four belligerents stretched
senseless on the floor. One of them was so badly
hurt that he had to be conveyed in an ambu-
lance to the hospital The others were also
pretty we'll used up. The barmaid for whom
Peter acted as champion was profuse In her
thanks to the noble colored fighter. A day or
two afterward several sporting men presented to
Jackson handsome gold watch aud chain in

of the Association Football Club.

The challenge printed in Yesterdays
PosT-IyrEILIGENcER from the Association
football team of this city, Offering to play
the Seattle Athletic Clubs eleven two
games, one under association and the

It has brought to the front an enthusiast
on the revised Rugby or American college
game, who sends in the following open
letter:
To THE SPORTING EDITOR: Noticing in this
mornings issue OF your paper a challenge from
the champion eleven of seattle Association
football players, who have lately won the state
championship at their particular style OF game,
should like to inquire into the purpose OF their
chailenge to the Athletic Club. If the Associa-
ton players think that they are better football
players than the men from the Athletic Club
at the American game, all good and well. Let
them organize under American rules and play
the Athletic Club. feel sure the latter will be
ready at any time 70 play them. But as TO play
ing return match at Association rules, it does
not seem at all In order, as the Athletic Clubs
team was organized to play the Rugby game
and no other. In England and Scotland when
the Association game is at Its best, 1t 10 well
enough, or even here among the foreign born
enthusiasts are those who prefer it
recognize that the American game in tho
west 10 as yet very much IN It's infancy, out IL
the marvellous growth it has had in this county
as popular winter sport is any indication Of
its future place a national psstime, We may
feel reasonably sure we are doing right in slight
ing an English game for one which is purely
the outcome of Americas Drawn, brain and
steadily advancing purpose In short, am
enough of Yankee to desire to see an Amer
lean institution encouraged because 1t is Amer.
lean, and to see American Rugby football thrive
because it is, at its best, q scientific, manly
diversion. Yours very truly, YALE.
