ALL ON ACCOUNT OF a cow.
A Lively Trial in Justice Bevans
Court Over a Negro and a Bovine.

There wasa lively trial in Justice Be
vans court yesterday afternoon. j. j.
Brown, conductor of ''pusher" on the
S. L. IL W, between the South River
junction and the wharf, was charged with
assault and battery.
One day last week Brown, who lives at
Four Mile Hill, found that one of his
COWS had been beaten severely, one of her
horns being knocked entirely of Robert
Williams, an old negro who works for Mr.
Walter Mcyler, was suspicioned, and he
finally acknowledged to negro woman
working on Browns place that he had
beaten the COW.
Brown caught the negro and tied him
to a tree in his yard. The evidence
showed that the confession of the negro
was not given while he WINS tied, but was
voluntarily made to the woman before he
was taken in by Brown. Williams told
Brown that he would work out the dam
ages done. Brown agreed and the old
fellow went to blowing on Browns farm,
but got tired Of his job before the day was
out and skipped. He was caught and
brought before Justice Elsinger, on the
charge of cruelty to animals. His case is
to be heard to-day.
Mr.. Meyler was very much incensed
because Brown had come on his place and
arrested WllnamS, ana ne induced VIII
liams to bring an action against Brown
for assault and battery. The warrant
was taken out for Brown, and yesterday
the trial came off before Justice Bevans
Paul f. Seabrook, Esq, appeared as
Browns counsel and Mr.. Meyler assumed
the role of lawyer for the negro Williams.
The testimony showed that Brown had
not iu-treated the negro, and the defend
ant was dismissed.
Mr.. Meyler made quite an argument
before the court. He said he had no law
books with him, and it was well he had
not, as he might make some slips, for he
had forgotten his glasses. His argument
caused much merriment. He c0ntended
that self-cOnfession on the part of the
negro was not conviction. This is a free
country, he said, and Brown had no right
to come on his place and tie and bind
the old negro as if he were murderer.
Breaking cows horn wasn't murder
He understood Brown had said that he
would bind him too. Il wish,n said
Meyler, approaching Brown threatening
ly, that he would come out some fine day
in the morning and try it" Things were
assuming a lively hue. and Justice Bev-
ans called down the attorney and closed
the trial by dismissing Brown. The ne
gro Williams will be tried to-day before
Justice Elsinger for cruelty to animals.

ASSAULTED A CHINAMAN.
Tony Butler Goes to the Gang for
Twelve Months.

He Was Charged With Assault With
Intent to Murder, But Got on With
a Lighter Verdict - Tony's Sister
Paints as He is Carried to Jail-Su-
perior Court Criminals-A Verdict
For S75 Damages.
Tony Butler, the negro charged with
assault with intent to murder Sam Lee
one of the most intelligent Cinnamon in
Savannah, was on trial in the superior
court yesterday, and on conviction by the
jury of the charge of assault and battery
was fined 800 or y months in the chain
gang.
On the night of June %, Butler and
some other negro went into Sam Lees
place, and one Of them attacked the
Cinnamon during a dispute that arose,
with knife and pair of brass knucks
Both escaped, but Tony was captured
sometime afterwards at Tybee where he
had obtained employment at one of the
eating houses. The other negro was never
capturd, and from the evidence it
seemed that he had the biggest hand in
the affair
Tony was represented by Mr. William
Pease and MIR. Edward MoKethan, while
Mr. George W. Owens assisted the solicit
tor III the prosecution. Judge Falligant
charged the jury that if they thought the
charge of assault with intent to murder
was not justified by the evidence, that
they could bring in a verdict of guilty of
assault and battery. The jury brought
in this verdict after few minutes CON
sidcration. Judge Falligant then ordered
a line OF slOO or IL months IN the chain
gang.
Tony was led away to Jail by the consta-
bic, and as he passed the court house cor
ner Shrek was heard and a negro woman
fell heavily to the ground. 1t proved
TO be TOny's sister who had tainted away
on seeing her brother in the hands of an
officer being led OF 10 Jail Her fit was
only temporary, however, and she was
hauled away to her home in a wagon

TEE FANS ARE BLUE.
The League Meeting To-day Expected
to Call the Season off.

to CAL the season on.
The base ball fans are very blue. It is
hard for them to realize that Savannah
viii have no more ball this season. But
such is the state of affairs. The South
ern League has gone a glimmering. There
are no ifs, ands, or butts now; and obitu-
aries are in order. Charleston did not
show up in Augusta yesterday as was, of
course, to be expected, but Manning was
right there at Macon.
Information comes from New Orleans
that there will be no more ball playing in
the western circuit on account of yellow
fever Yellow Jack may have a great
deal to do with the breaking up over that
side, but it is generally believed that it is
the same old thing with the western
division, lack Of funds, lack of players
and lack of patronage.
There are only two things that the 10
cal fans can console themselves with Just
now. One is the assurance that Savan-
nah will have pennant win
ming team in an eight-club league
in 1894, and the other is that
there will probably be some fine amatuer
bail playing on the local grounds during
the balance of the season There are
some excellent players in the city;
enough to spare for two strong teams
The boys are going 10 geJ themselves TO-
gether and get in the game Neigh
boring towns and cities having crack
teams are ANXIOUS and waiting to cross
bats with Savannah, and some good
matches viii likely be arranged very
soon.
The Columbus boys are not bit salts
fed with the treatment accorded them in
a base ball way here some weeks ago.
Otherwise they are highly pleased and
delighted with the entertainment they
received Columbus may come here
again, or it is probable that the local team
will 90 there. Augusta also has a strong
club of amateurs. and match between
the Forest and the Fountain cities would
be intensely interesting.
Inc amateurs will get Immediately to

the box any team viii have to hustle TO

USING EARS FOR EYES.
An observant Blind Man Who Saw
More Than Anybody Else.
from the San FRANCISCO Examiner.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
A blind man, led by the hand of a little
boy, got on an C'Farrell and Hyde street
car at Grant avenue last night and sat
down quietly in a corner.
A lady who got Oh at the same point
was overheard to ask the conductor to
let her of at Pine street. The conductor
forgot the request, but the blind man re-
membered it,
just as the car began to climb the steep
grade on Jones street, beyond Pine, the
blind man called the conductors atten-
ton to the fact that he had carried the
lady past her destination.
The conductor looked a trile annoyed,
the lady decidedly so, and everybody else
in the car wondered how it came that
blind man first discovered the oversight.
One Of the passengers who sat near the
blind man ventured 30 ask how he knew
when the car reached Pine street. He
was good-natured blind man, and pleas
antly said in explanation:
My ears take the place of my eyes, and
may see pretty well.
Just shut your eyes for a few minutes
and you'll see how it's done. Here we 90
around a corner to the right. That means
we have turned into Hyde street Here
we rattle over a row Of switches. They
are in front Of the car house, and now we
stop for California street"
When the car started again up Hyde
street the blind man told his neigh Dor,
who still had his eyes closed, to notice the
different sound of the rattle across the.
rails Of the Sacramento, the Washington
and the jackson street tracks They did
seem TO have different intonations. and
the blind man said he knew them all
ut is just the same way at the other
end of the line" said the observant,
sighless one. ''The hOrsecar track at
Stockton street has a different rail from
the cable track at Powell street, and the
different grades, on each successive
block, tell me Just what progress we
make.

a Verdict for SIS.

There was but one case in the city court
yesterday, the suit of Haynes and Daniel,
fomer co-partners, VS., r. L. Mercer, on a
note for 1858
The note was q renewal note a part OF
which had been paid in cash and the
balance by another note Judge
MacDonell instructed the jury to bring
in verdict, for SIS damages, as under the
law the new note wiped out the old one
1t seems that Haynes < Daniel paid a
note for Mercer in 1ustallments. On the
note for 1888, they had paid s75 and re.
newed the balance. Under the law they
could not recover on the 1858 note, which
was wiped out by the new note, but they
could recover on the $40 paid in cash. and
