Railroad and His Pocket Rifed.
Forty-fve Cents All the Robbers Got.

GERS After His Assailsnts.
Abraham Minkowitz, a peddler was set
upon and badly beaten and cut by two
negroes on the Savannah and Isle OF Hope
railroad, near the Thunderbolt road cross
ing about mile beyond the Cathedral

from the Cuyler swamp, and who found
him lying near the road. His wounds were
dressed by DR.. Norton and he was taken to

Minkowitz says he was out peddling as
usual yesterday morning east of the city.
de met two negroes on the Waters road
and engaged in conversation with them.
They agreed to show him where he could
sell a lot Of goods. He started with them
from the road, and after walking some dis
lance asked them how much further it
was to where they were going. The reply
was blow from behind that felled him to
the ground. He received several more
blows IN the head aud face and fell I'M
conscious. He only had As cents in money
IN his pocket, which the negroes took.
They also helped themselves to whatever in
his PACK they fancied. The negroes left him
with parting kick in the side.
After some time Minkowitz managed to
make his way to the road, where he was
found by the wagon driver.
Mlnkowitz's wounds are very severe, and
1t will be some time before he RECEIVERS from
them.
He arrived in this country from Russia
about six weeks ago, and has only been in
Savannah about two weeks. He says he
would recognize his assailants if he ever
sees them again. Detective Morgan is
looking for them.
This Is the third peddler who has been
attacked In the Waters road section.

AFTER PROOF OF DEATH.
The Story Of Henry Griswold's Disal
pearence From dome.


The Story Of Henry Griswolds Disap-
pearance From dome.
The story of Henry Griswold's death and
the fortune his father left In Bridgeport,
Conn, was published in the MORNING NEWS
some time ago. The search for Griswold
was also told in the MORNING NEWS. The
81, 600 reward said to have been offered
for any information leading to
the missing mans discovery is now
figuring in the case. The Augusta Herald
says two gentlemen arrived in Augusta a
couple OF days ago. They registered, at the
Planters hotel as G. Griswold, New Haven,
and Frank l.. Griswold, Bridgeport, Conn.
They refused to say anything about
the story.
The newspapers all over the country,
they said, had been magnifying the story,
changing it in many particulars from the
original plain and unvarnished tale.
One Of the points they denied was the
$1,000 reward purported to have been
offered.
This is not SO. and the only reward of
any sort, they said, is the one put up by the
Pinkerton Detective Agency, in whose
hands the case was first placed. Mr. Wal
ton when seen was also mum on the subject.
From another source, however, the following
additional information was CLEANED. The
father of Henry Griswold was the foreman
of sewing machine works in Bridgeport.
He saved some money, and by real estate
speculations became quite wealthy. At his
death he disinherited the runaway boy,
and donated his share of the property to
several charitable institutions. Now the
relatives of the disinherited boy want to
establish his death and then contest the
viii. Tbs property, Of course, if they sue
coed In their purpose, will revert to them.

SIR FRANCIS BRAKES HEIRS.
More of Them in America Than was al
First Summoned

More of Them in America Than was at
First Supposed.
Seabrook 81 Morgan, who are counsel for
Mrs. John Fitzpatrick and Jane Hector, s
claimants for the great Sir Francis Drake
estate of England. have written to lawyers
in England who have been connected with
the estate for years and also TO lawyers in
various portions of this country who rep
resent other claimants, TO obtain more
actinformatiOn with regard TO the details
and heirship Of the great estate.
They have found upon investigation that
there are great many more heirs to the
estate in this country than was at first
stated. There are numerous claimants
scattered throughout this country, several
OF whom reside in this state.
The claim OF the American heirs Is based
upon their descent from Francis Drake, who
founded Francistown, Mass, more than 100
years ago, and who was the only heir of the
estate of Sir Francis Drake. becoming so
upo1 the extinction of tho English branch
OF the family. Some years ago it was de-
oided in the English courts that certain de-
scendants Of the Francis Drake who founded
Franclstown, Mass, were the rlghtful
heirs of the estate. Search was instituted
for these heirs, but they could never be
found. Since then the other descendants of
Francis Drake have been endeavoring to
establish their claim to the property.
The Savannah claimants base their claim
upon their being the lneal descendants OF
Francis Drake, being as they claim, his
aJ-Rreat-grandchildre
Whether the establishment of their des.
cent would effect anything in their favor is
not certain. The difficulty Of establishing
the claim Of American heirs to fortunes
left in England is well known among the
legal fraternity.

An excited negro man, who assumed the
part Of determined husband, and his I'M
faithful spouse. created quite stir at State
and Whitaker streets last night. The
husband has been on the lockout for
his truant wife for several weeks and finally
ran across her as she was standing on the
corner engaged in conversation with an
other negro. The wrath of the husband
had no limit, and he sailed" into the pair
in pugllistic fashion. The woman screamed
and the man made his escape during the
conflict between husband and wife. The
noise drew a large crowd, and while the
fight was at Its hight, a bystander inter
fered and pulled the couple apart. The
only damage done was few locks of hair
missing, and couple of bruises.

There was very little doing on the river
yesterday. Not a single vessel came up
from sea and but two went down the river !;
only one got to sea, the Russian bark Fin
land. The British steamship Royal Welsh
started down but was compelled to anchor
below on account of the heavy fog. The
Royal Welsh has been rather unfortunate
She has been ready for sea ten days but was
nipped by reason Of the low water, the
heavy westerly winds blowing the water out
of the river, and the wind haa been mostly
that way ever since Dec. 81, until few
days ago, when strong north
easter set in, which. OF course, caused the
tides to become higher. Yesterdays tide
was taken advantage of to start her off for
sea when thick fog set in which spread its
canopy over the whole city and continued
thick throughout the day and up to mid
night, when it lifted partially aud the moon
came out brightly. There is quite fleet
of vessels in port ready to 60 down as soon
as the weather clears and the water in the
river suits.
