Queer Actions Of a Man Who Says
Hes From Mobile.

r. @. Nichou, who claims to be from
Mobile, Ala, wound up for a time a some
what insane career in the barracks yes
terday afternoon. He is charged with
assault and attempting to steal watch
from Mrs. z. Fredlong, who keeps board
IN ghouse on East Broad street, near Bay.
Nichoh is evidently crazy. He came TO
Savannah about two weeks ago and regis
tered at the Screven House. He said he
was from Mobile and had left a wife and
two children there, and had come here
TO get work. He deposited so
for his board, and for the
first two or three days was very quiet in
his demeauor about the hotel. Later on
he became meddlesome and made himself
obnoxious Yesterday he went to the
dining room, and for his dinner ordered an
ear of corn, which he carried to the office
and began TO eat. He then went
TO the parlor and made
himself comfortable on one of the
lounges. He said he wanted to see all the
ladies in the neighborhoOd and give them
lecture on how TO manage husbands.
His kind offer was declined, and he was
asked to vacate the parlor, as his appear
ance and peculiar style of dress were not
at all in keeping with the surroundings.
In short while he was seen lying on the
grass on johnson square in front of the
hotel A policeman came along and
informed him that the grass was
there to look at and not to be slept
on. Nicholl then went into the hotel,
and Cashier Kyle told him that
his room was preferred TO his company.
Nicholl squared accounts and departed,
not without protestatiOns as to being com
PEELED to leave so summarily. He Shout
dered his baggage and started for East
Broad street, where he found a boarding
house and left his valise. He then went
over to the railing at the foot of the street
and gazed intently at the river for awhile,
after which he went to a corner saloon,
muttering TO himself. He looked like a
man who was ready to commit suicide or
do anything desperate.
Shortly afterwards he went into the
boarding house where he had left his
baggage, and inquired about a room. He
said he would sleep on the floor just so he
could get some place. Mrs. E'redlong did
not fancy his demeanor and told him he
could not stay there. Nicholl then
grabbed at her. and she says, tried to take
her watch. A young man same to her as
sistance and Nicholl was sent to the lock-
up.
At the barracks last night he was
singing and talking wildly from his cell
TO the prisoners in the hallway. He gave
it out that he would lecture tonight at
the theatre on "the trials and tribulations
of ten days in Savannah"
The cashier at the Screven is from
Mobile and telegraphed the chief-Of-police
of that city yesterday about Nicholl.
While he was at the hotel he got up every
morning at O'Clock, tapped his hands
and crowed like a rooster.

SICK AND WITHOUT FRIENDS.
A Penniless Family's Condition
Among Strangers.


Apitiful case of restitution was brought
to the attention of the city authorities
yesterday. When the o'clock train
from Atlanta arrived at the Central depot
yesterday morning middle-aged woman
was lifted from the train on a cot, and
set down under the car shed.
The woman was evidently very sick.
1t was said that she was subject to fits
and had several on the train on the way
down from Atlanta. Her husband. who
was with her, Immediately began to seek
for assistance. He applied to Policeman
Horton who was on duty at the depot and
asked him to call up the police ambulance
that he might carry his wife to the
police barracks or some hospital, which
he seemed very anxious to do.
The policeman did not feel that he had
the authority to do this. and sent him to
Chief Green. The man, who said his
name was Cooper, went to the barracks
and made his appeal to the chief. Owing
to the circumstances of the case the chief
did not feel that he had the authority to
act, and sent Cooper to Mayor McDonough.
To the mayor he said that he and his
wife were in destitute circumstances and
were trying to reach their home in
Tampa. The mayor of Atlanta had fur
nished them transportation to Sa-
FuaAAAoAL1 AAO ooANs anu hC NthAl0ON
Mayor McDonough to furnish trans
portation for himself and wife to
Tampa. The city frequently furnishes
transportation to INDECENT persons strand
ed in its midst, but the mayor did not
think this case came under the usual
rules and was indisposed to act. He did
not like the idea of Atlanta unloading the
case on Savannah, and told Mr.. Cooper
that he would be willing to furnish him
tra0SDOrfa tiOO hack tn Atlanta
The woman in the meantime was left
on her cot at the depot, apparently in a
dying state and with no one TO care for
her in any manner. She remained in this
condition for several hours. 1t was
finally reported to Mayor McDonough by
a physician that the woman was suffering
with paralysis, and he then ordered her
taken to the Savannah hospital for treat
ment Mayor McDonough said last
night that transportation would be fur
nished the couple out of the city as soon
as the woman is able to travel.

A MISTAKE IN THE COST.
A County Official Takes Exception to
a Statement in the Grand Jury's Pre-
sentiment

A County Official Takes Exception to
a Statement in the Grand Jury's Pre-
sentiment.
"a grand jury is liable to be mistaken
at times with regard to facts, as well as
anybody else,n remarked a well-known
county official yesterday.
81 am not inclined TO criticise any ac-
ton OF the grand jury" he said, ''and in
fact am very 10th to do il, but body of
such power whose statements have so
much weight with the public, should be
more careful in regard to the correctness
of their information before they put it
on record.
In the presentments of the grand jury
the statement is made that the imple-
ments purchased with which to work the
roads cost the county $1,000 The fact in
the case is that they cost Just 81, 2S9. So
The grand jurors evidently had in their
minds the cost of the steam dredge, which
is part of the drainage business of the
county and for which s. 600 was paid. 1t
would thus appear from their present
ments that $1,000 was spent for tools, in
Guiding the steam dredge, instead of

Policy Shop.

Bristow Hunter (oolored) took out war
rants before Justice Elsinger for the ar
rest of Frank Smith, mulatto who runs
a policy lottery in the Old Fort. Smith is
charged with gambling and cheating and
swindling.
Hunter has been buying lottery
tickets regularly, and has played in
i'll luck. His star of bad luck set on Mon
day, and he struck Smiths place for $92.
His was one of the biggest scoops on rec
ord among the sporting fraternity of the
Old Fort. and Hunter was the lion of the
hour. Lion or no lion while Hun
ter held the winning tickets, he
got no cash. Smith claimed
that the tickets were forged and would
not cash them Hunter says he can nei-
ther read nor write, and is prepared to
prove that the tickets are genuine.
Smith, on the other hand, will bring a
case against Hunser for forgery.

But the Grasshoppers Are Doing a
Great Deal of Damage.

treat Deal OF damage.
Mai G. NJ. Ryals was back yesterday
from trip to Athens and Augusta where
he had gone after leaving the state agri-
cultural convention at Stone Mountain.
AS a representative of the Chatham
county truck growers, Mai. Ryals enter
tanned the convention highly by talk
upon the methods and process of truck
farming, with which he mingled that
humor and wit which is characteristic of
his addresses.
There is no doubt, said Maj. Ryals,
yes terday, "but that the workings of the
convention will have a decidedly beueti-
cial effect throughout the state, and it
will do great deal to inspire confidence
among the farming classes.

of the state, and think when they are
harvested, they will assist materially in

that 1t is feared that they will destroy a
great deal. Inever saw SO many of them
anywhere as there are around Athens
and there it looks as if they.were going to

The major said he saw some mighty
fine corn up the country, but he didn't
see any that could compare with that on

THE NEWS FROM BRUNSWICK.
Official Announcement That DIR. Bran
ham Had Black Vomit.


The only news received by the health
authorities from Brunswick yesterday
was a telegram to Mayor McDonough
from Mayor Lamb saying that DIR. Bran
ham had black vomit. DIR. Branham was
not then expected to live, and the report
of his death at any time yesterday would
have been no surprise to the board of
health.
DR.. Drummer advocates cremation of
everything infected by yellow fever pa
tients as soon as death occurs, and he
hopes that this course will be pursued at
Brunswick as he considers it the only
certain method of destroying fever germs
under such circumstances.
Michael Lasky, a refugee from Bruins
wick, who walked 30 miles to get into the
city, was arrested yesterday morning at
Bryan and West Broad streets at his
brothers house by Detective Bossell, act
ing under orders of DIR. Drummer Lasky
was taken TO the pest house, wherehe will
remain until the period for infection has
passed. A. l.. MunloCk, Bryan street
merchant, gave the information which led
to Lasky's arrest
Several passengers from Brunswick
were held up at Southover yesterday
The city is not furnishing supplies to
those to whom it bars its doors at South
over. Mayor McDonough and DIR. Brun-
ner hold that if parties who are prevented
from entering the city refuse to go else
where, they must look out for themselves
DR. Drummer says if the city
were TO furnish provisions for every
body held up at Southover, the fact
would be an attraction to idle persons all
throughout this section and the city would
soon be feeding several hundred people.
He believes it would be much the better
policy for the city tofurnish transporta-
ton elsewhere to the suspects whom
it detains at Southoyer than to support
them in quarantine

NO EVIDENCE OF FOUL PLAY.
The Cases Against Drayton and An
derson Dismissed.


Jacob Drayton and Hezel1iah Anderson
were before Justice Russell yesterday af-
ternoon for assaulting and attempting to
murder an insane negro, Doc Wright, on
July IA. Messrs. G. 7. and ]. F. Cam
represented the defendants, and Assist
ant Solicitor General Salas appeared for
the state After hearing evidence in the
case the defendants were dismissed. There
was no evidence against Drayton The
testimony was very meagre, and showed
that Wright was undoubtedly crazy and
that on the night of July IA he went to
the watermelon patch of He2ekiah An
derson, probably for the purpose of help
ing himself to a juicy Kolb Gem. 1t so
happened that Anderson was on the
watch for melon stealers, his field having
been raided several times before.
Anderson's attention was attracted by
the barking of his dog, and looking to-
wards his house he saw the form of a
man. He approached the intruder, and
when he got near, Wright, who turned
out to be the intruding thief, grabbed at
him. Anderson then tried to use his gun,
but the lunatic got hold of the weapon.
There was a hand to hand struggle, in
which Wright came out second best. An
derson then called for his neighbor, Jacob
Drayton, who came over. Wright jumped
up from the ground and started for Dray-
ton He was quickly subdued, however,
and was afterwards carried to Justice
Kings office where he told his tale OF
woe.
Several witnesses testified as to
Wright's insanity. MIR. Cam asked that
the defendants be dismissed, and Mr..
Salas made no objection.
