struggling with Mehrteus Kiley mauled
him IN the head with a club. Dickson was
In bad way aud might have been seriously
hurt had it not been for the interference Of
J. J. Somers aud other parties, who ran
up. As it was, he was pretty badly
bruised over the head. There were no po-
lice in the neighborhood when the difficulty

Presentation of a Silver Service to
Its Commanding Of1cer-The Visit
ing Knights Of for Home.
The Knights of Pythias excursion to
Tybee was a mammoth and enjoyable
affair. About 500 people went down to
the island. The special excursion train
which left the city at 10 o'clock In the morn
ing was divided into two sections. Every
coach was filed uncomfortably and many
people had to stand during the trip. The
afternoon train was also damned, and three
trains running close behind each other were
necessary TO bring the excurslonists back to
the city.
The knights OF Pythias club house at
Furber's Point was headquarters for the
knights and their friends and the place
presented gay and animated appearance.
Everything in the nature Of refreshments
was free
Capt. Newman Of Oglethorpe Division
No. OF Brunswick was treated to a most
pleasant and agreeable surprise at the De
Soto last night by the members of his oom-
mand. 1t was the presentation of
a handsome silver tea service of
six pieces besides the waiter. While
Capt. Newman was at dinner the
silver was brought into the parlor
and placed upon a table. The members OF
the division assembled in the room, and the
guests of the hotel also crowded in and
around the doors. Capt. Newman was sent
for, and when he walked into the parlor
and saw the crowd his countenance showed
marked surprise, which was heightened q
moment or two later when he was led up
TO where the silver was displayed
Col Hamilton Douglass Of Atlanta, a
prominent Pythian, made the presentation
speech. He extolled the work of Capt
Newman IN bringing Oglethorpe division
up TO that standard OF proficiency where 1t
is now the acknowledged champion Of Geor>
gia, and asked him TO accept the silver
service as a memento of the appreciation and
love of the members of his division, who
feel that his efforts in their behalf and In
behalf of the uniform rank of Georgia,
is deserving Of a lasting testimonial.
Capt. Newman was too much surprised
to attempt to make a speech. He thanked
the members Of Oglethorpe on benalf of
himself and his family for their kindness,
and said he would respond in more tan
gible manner when he gets time to collect
himself.
The service is handsomely engraved, and
ia of a costly character. The inscription
on the waiter is as follows:

MIR. s. e. Theus' Quarter of Century
Tussle With an Iron Shot.
Mr.. s. E. Theus Is out on crutches after a
very painful surgical operation which re-

nearly twenty-nine years ago.
Mr.. Theus is now exhibiting the ball to
his friends. 1t is spherical case shot, Of
hollow iron, about the size oaa marble. 1t
hardly looks like a pleasant object to IDains
tain such close relations with for over a
quarter Of a century.
The operation. as stated some time ago,
was performed by Drs. Charlton and Dun
can. 1t is the third operation Of the kind,
two previous unsuccessful operations haY~
ing been made in search of the ball.
Mr.. Theus was member Of the Second
Georgia battalion, Wright's brigade. On
the second day of the Gettysburg fight
Nrights brigade penetrated further within
the lines of the union forces than was at
tanned by any other command Of the con-
federate army during the whole OF that
sanguinary conflict, and it has often been
claimed that bad it been properly supported
the result Of the battle would have been
different.
