THE CITY'S REFORM MILL.

Grist of Penalties.

corder in the police court yesterdaymorn-
ing, it being information docket day
The docket included number of iuterost-
ing cases, chiefly those against violators
of the Sunday liquor law
John Z. LubS, who keeps bar and
grocery on Sims street, was charged with
violating the Sunday liquor law on seven
different occasions, on the seven consec-
tutive Sundays, Aug. 6, Ii, 20, n, Sept.
3, 10, and II.
Detective Bossell is the chief witness
against him. The cases against Lubs
grew out of the recent brawl that oc-
CURED at his place between several young
men of the neighborhood and negro EN-
poye. The young men are all summoned
as witnesses. Their names are Michael

Smith, p. Starr, j. Clarity, H. Bolton

parties were brought into court the next
morning nOlenS vOlens-willing or unwil-
ling. The women are the daughters Of
Mrs. Mary Fitzgerald, who is now serving
out term in jail for the same offense.
In spite of the fact that their mother was

to continue business at the old stand.
Martin Haar and his wife, Catherine
! Haar, were each fined 500 or thirty days
in Jail by the mayor for violating the or
| dinance against Sunday liquor selling on
last Sunday. The cases were made by
| Policeman kavanaugh, who was the prin-
! it appears was in Mrs. HAIRS name, but

HANGING TOO GOOD FOR HIN
Mayor MCDOnOughS Language to PO-
IiCemaR GOdbOId.

The Assailant of Bennett Stripped
Of His Uniform, Dismissed from
the Force and Sent to Jail to
Await the Action of the Grand
Jury Under Charges of Assault
With Intent to Murder-His Two
Accomplices With Him.
Officer Godbold was dismissed from the
police force yesterday morning by the
mayor for his assault upon Tom Bennett
in Yamacraw Saturday night and was
turned over to the superior court on the
charge of assault with intent to murder,
II. A. Thornley, and H d. Mallin, who
were with Godbold at the time, were sent
to Jail as accessories to the assault.
Bennett although weak from loss of
blood, was in the police court yesterday
morning and gave his account of the as
sault. The story he told was
practically the same as that he told a
MORNING News reporter at his house on
Orange street. an hour after the assault.
He said some men came up on his stoop
shortly after II o'clock and one of them
asked for Alice" He ordered them
away from the door and came down to see
that they left. When he came out on the
stoOp the man whom he later recognized
as Policeman Godbold struck him in the
head with billy The blow stunned
him, but he recovered in time to hit his
assailant several blows with pair of
brass knucks.
GOdbold called one of the other men to
his assistance, who choked him and threw
him down, and they then beat him into in
Maggie and Susie jackson, two coIored
women living across the street from
where the fight took place, corroborated
Benefits statement of the fight. Ben
nett said Officer Godbold had made an eff
fort to compromise the case with him, but
had failed.
Officer Godbold told different story
from Bennett. He testified that he did
not strike Bennett until he had first been
struck in the face by him with pair of
brass kuucks. He produced the
knucks, which he had taken from Ben
nett After he had been struck in the
face with the knucks he assaulted Ben
nett with the billy, which he had in his
pocket. Godbold declared that he only
defended himself as any other man would
have done.
Thornley, and Mallin, the two men who
were with Godbold, told the same story
that he did.
Mayor McDonough appeared to be
worked up over the case. He addressed
Policeman Godbold in the most scathing
language, and told him that hanging was
too good for him. He was told that he
was dismissed from the force in disgrace,
and furthermore that he would be turned
over to the superior court on the charge
of assault with intent TO murder. The
mayor then had Bennett swear out war
rants against Godbold Thornley, and NAL
lin and the three men were taken direct
from the barracks to the Jail.
Godbold spent five hours in Jail, when
G. w. Bandy went on his bond. He will
engage a lawyer and endeavor to make a
good defense.
Godbold was known as one of the best
men upon the police ferce and his freak
of Saturday night is greatly regretted by
the officers Of the police force and by his
friends generally.

JOHN WEBB DEAD.
The Condemned Muir derer of Ananias
Hill Dies in Jail.


John Webb, who has been in Jail for
over owo years under sentence of death
for the killing of Ananias Hill, both col
ored, died in his cell Monday night.
Webb's death was the result of epilepsy
to which he had been a victim for several
years.
Everyone acquainted with Webb's case
will feel satisfied that his case has been
now removed to a proper tribunal The
crime for which he was convicted was a
cOld-blooded and deliberate murder, vet
no one acquainted with the case believed
Webb morally respons ible. His mind had
probably been affected by his frequent
attacks of epilepsy, and he did not realize
the enormity of the crime which he had
committed.
After he had murdered Hill he came
into the city and gave himself up to the
authorities. saying that if he was guilty
he wanted to hang and if not he wanted
to go free For this reason he refused a
Communication of sentence, and at the time
OF his death there was motion for new
trial in his case pending before Judge Fal-
ligant. Webb's death, however, saved
Judge Falligant from passing upon the
question of whether it should have been
in a more ignominious manner or he
should be given another chance for his
life

j. E. Moore Of Hardeeville, 8. O.,
Taken in for Carrying Concealed
Weapons.
Quite disturbance was created at the
Screven house yesterday afternoon which
may be attributed altogether to too free
indulgence in intoxicants.
j. f.. Moore and his wife of Vaudeville,
s. c., have been at the hotel since Mon
day afternoon, and were occu-
plying room -. A bout o'clock in the
afternoon a disturbance was located in
that direction and pretty soon a woman
rushed down the stairs into the Office and
asked for some protection. She said that
her husband was intoxicated and that he
had drawn pistol and threatened to kill
her and then shoot himself.
Policeman Haines, who was on that beat
and who happened to be passing just at
this time, was called in to attend to Moore,
who had come out of his room towards
the office, following his wife. When the
policeman arrived Moore was on the
landing just above the Office looking wild
eyed and rather haggard. He did not
have the pistol in his hand, but on search
ing him the policeman found it in
his pocket, and he was taken to the bar
racks and locked up on charge of car
rying conc called weapons. A great deal
OF sympathy was felt for Mrs. Moore,
who had her little daughter with her, on
account Of the actions of her husband,
and those around offered her any assist
ance in their power. Moore S actions
created great deal of excitement for
awhile, and quite a crowd gathered
around when he was arres ted

ALL THE DRAINS CLEANED.
The Damage Done by the Storm in the
County is About Repaired.

For the last three weeks the county
commissioners have had forces of men at
work on the drains in close proximity to
the city, and within a distance of four
miles from the city limits the drains have
all been cleaned and put in thorough
sanitary condition with but one excep-
ton.
That exception is the Musgrove creek
and its watershed, which the commission
ers cannot undertake to put in a thor
ough sanitary condition without the CO.
operation of the city authorities, and for
this reason no action has as vet been
taken. All the other bitches and drains
in the county, however, within that dis
lance from the city have been thoroughly
cleaned, and by tomorrow all the bridges
which were damaged by the storm will
have been fully repaired.
The county forces or part of them are
now employed in repairing the bitches
and drains at the lsleof Hope. The couu-
ty had so much other work on hand that
they were compelled 10 delay this, and at
one time the citizens of that suburb were
contemplating doing the work themselves.
| The county took il in hand, however. and
will have the work completed this week.

THE FIGHT IN THE FIFTH.
The Canvass for Saturdays Eleotio
Getting Lively.

GeIIAnB A1VSly.
The race question appears to be the
prominent issue in the campaign for the
Office of justice of the peace in the Fifth
district.
The election takes place Saturday at
the magistrates Office on the Thunder
bolt road just outside of the city limits
The canvass is becoming lively.
Black who is the most prominent col
ored candidate, has been sending out cir
culars for some time calling upon the coll
ored voters in the distaict to support him
as the colored mans candidate and as a
pronounced republican.
Mr.. John o. Smith is sending out a
short circular this week to the white
voters of the district, calling their atten-
ton to the fact that the race issue has
been made prominent feature of the
campaign and calling upon the
the polls as the white democratic
candidate. The growth of the
city in the southeastern section, it is be-
lieved, has located a sufficient number of
white votes in the Fifth district to fully
counterbalance the colored vote and This,
with the growth of Thunderbolt and
Tybee, it is thought will give the district
white majority if the full white vote is
brought out. Mr.. Smith also has a num-
Der Of co.ored friends in the district who
are relied upon to swell his vote.
Very little is heard from the other can
didates for the office. Nichols, coored
candidate who received a good percentage
of the vote at the last election, is said to
have strong hold upon the colored
voters.
The managers have not yet been Sc
| lected. Justice Sam Reynolds, of the
Fourth district, and Magistrate L. B.
Endres, it is thought, will be two of the
three managers. The third manager Will
probably be a colored man.
