TWO BIG TRUCKS COLLIDE.
A Young Mans Arm Broken and One
Of the Drivers Severely Bruised.

A Young Mans Arm Broken and One
Of the Drivers Severely Bruised.
The big delivery trucks of James NJ.
Dixon & Co. and Peacock, Hunt 6. Co. had
a collision at Bull and Liberty streets last
night at o'clock, which resulted IN the
breaking of Edwin Middleton's left wrist
and the severe bruising.of Tom Jones, the
colored driver of Dixon & Coz wagon.
The horses attached to Dixon q Co. 3
wagon became frightened from some cause
at the intersection of the two streets and be-
gan running from one side TO the other.
Tom Aiken (colored) was driving Peacock
hunt q Co, s wagon east on Liberty street
and be pulled his horses into Bull to prevent
a collision. but about the same time the
other team swung around and the four
horses came together. The force Of the col
llsion drove the Dixon horses up on the
west sidewalk and both fell, breaking the
swingletree Of their truck
Young Middleton was riding with Jones
on Dixon q Co.'s wagon, and the fall Of
the horses precipitated both of them 10 the
ground. Jones fell directly between the
animals and was stunned by the fall, while
young Middleton fell on the outside directly
in front of the wheel, which was running
down the moline toward the sewer trap.
By remarkable agility he swung himself
clear OF the wheel just in time to save his
life.
The accident was witnessed by many
people, who rushed to the scene expecting
20 find couple OF mangled corpses. They
could hardly understand how the driver
and the young man had escaped death from
the way in which they fell. Young Mid
dleton was carried into the Hussars' club,
where Drs. Lincoln and Keller made an
examination. His only injury was found
TO be a broken arm, which the physicians
handaged temporarily, after which DR..
Lincoln carried him home and set the bones.
In the meantime Driver Jones was pulled
out from under the horses feet to all appear
ances dead, but Drs. Boyd and Aiken soon
brought him around, and got him on his
feet. Jones' injuries consist OF few scalp
wounds and bruises on his back where the
horses walked upon him in getting up. The
horses, despite their heavy fall, escaped
uninjured. and the only damage the truck
sustained was the breaking of the swingle-
tree. Peacock, Hunt 81 Co.'s horses and
truck were not injured at all
Nobody was to blame for the accident
The drivers of both trucks we're doing their
utmost to avoid anything of the kind when
1t occurred.

STABBED FOR A WOMAN.

Probably Fatal ARRAY in a Henry
Street House.
A little house on Henry street, near Gem
etery, was the scene of bloody work yester-
day afternoon, which may result fatally.
Two young men, Sicily and Jones, quar-
relied about a woman and finally came to
blows. Jones was getting the worst Of the
fight when he pulled knife from his pocket
and piled il with telling effect upon Sicily,
stabbing him several times in the breast
shoulders and head, and in the stomach.
Jones fled Immediately.
Sicily bled profusely and tainted several
times from the effects OF his wounds before
physicians arrived. The doctors stopped
the flow OF blood but pronounced the young
mans wounds exceedingly dangerous. The
police were notified of the affair, but Jones
had got start aud made good his escape.
He is well known, however, and the officers
hope to either run him down here or have
him captured In some of the neighboring
cities.
At midnight last night report was sent
TO the barracks that Skelly's condition was
quite critical

JUDGE FERRILL HAS TO HEAR IT

The Fourth District Contested Elec-
ton Case Must Be Tried in His Court.
The contested constabulary election case
from the Fourth district will not be tried
before the county commissioners, as was
expected.
County Attorney Saussy discovered that
under the acts Of 1890 the trial OF such cases
was removed to the court Of ordinary, and,
therefore, Messrs. Vaughan and Ryan will
have to enter their contests against Messrs
Quinley and Ketohum in Judge Ferrill's
court. The attorneys on both sides, p. j.
O'Connor, Esq. and w. W. Osborne, Esq,
will arrange with Judge Ferrill for an early
hearing of the case.
In connection with the Fourth district
contest a letter received yesterday by Clerk
Dillon Of the board OF county commits
sioners makes interesting reading. 1t shows
a peculiar condition Of things. The letter
reads as follows:
The returns Of an election for justice of the
peace of the Fourth district, Il. NJ. Chatham
county, are here in part. There is no tally
sheet and the list Of votes Is incomplete. The
managers certify that Samuel Reynolds re-
ceived 67l votes and Samuel b. Morse l53,
which makes the total number or votes cast 624,
while the list of voters received at this depart
ment only accounts for ASP. l cannot report
the name of the candidate-eleCt to the governor
for commission until the law Is fully compiled
with.
The letter also stated that the lists for
the First district election are still wanting.
The managers of the two districts IN which
the errors incurred will be called upon by
Judge FerroI to have the matter attended
to at once in order that commissions may
be issued.
How the Fourth district managers will be
able to account for the difference of 400
votes in the box as against the list Of vot-
ers kept by the tally sheet keepers will be
awaited with interest.

NOLIQUOR NEAR CHURCH
TEE FIasT PROSECUTION UNDER
TaB THRFE-MILE LIMIT.

The Deacons Of a Colored Church on
the CEeechee Road Prosecute q. W.
Fountain for Selling Liquor Within
Three Miles of Their House Of Wor-
ship-Judge MacDonell Reserves His
Decision.
The first prosecution in Chatham county
under the law prohibiting the sale of liquor
within three miles Of a church or school
house outside Of the corporate limits Of a
ciSy or town took place in the city court
yesterday. G.. W. Fountain. who keeps q
grocery and saloon on the Ogeechee road,
about two and half miles from the city,
was prosecuted for violating the statute by
the deacon Of a colored Methodist church in
his neighborhood.
Solicitor General Fraser conducted the
case on behalf of the state and made a
strong argument for Fountains conviction
under the law. Henry McAlpin, Esq, de-
Tended Fountain. He argued that the case was
one not brought on account Of the existence
of any statute, but because the prosecutors
had a desire to be revenged upon Fountain
for some fancied wrong. Mr.. McAlpin
also argued against the enforcement of the
law On the ground that it is discriminating,
Judge MacDonell reserved his decision.
II Judge MacDonells decision is against
Fountain it will mean the breaking up of
all the country saloons in the county, as
there are so many little negro churches
scattered about in the woods adjacent to
Savannah that every place where liquor is
sold, except Thunderbolt is within the
3-mile limit. The judges decision is anx-
iously awaited by the s.orekeepers.
The bonds OF Joe johnson and Benjamin
Brown, charged with larceny from the
house, were estTeated in the city court yes
terday because Of the failure Of the defend
ants to answer for trial. The bonds are for
800 each, with T. s. Williams and Prince
Miller as sureties. All the parties are col
ored.
The cases against druggists and fruit
dealers for selling cigars, candy, etc.,
on Sunday in violation Of the state law,
which were brought in the city court several
months ago by the police under in
struotions from Mayor McDonough when
he was making his crusade to COM
pei a strict Observance Of the Sab
bath, have been dead docketed. Solicitor
General Fraser saw the uselesSness
of continuing the prosecution in view of the
fact that although the evidence was over
whelming, each OF the test cases tried some
time ago. resulted in acquittals. Public
sentiment seemed TO be against a stringent
enforcement Of the statute.
No criminal business will be transacted in
the superior court until Feb. IA. after which
time the remainder of the term will be de-
voted to clearing the criminal docket.
There are several murder trials to be dis
posed Of. Mr.. Bourquin and bis son are
anxious for their trial for killing G. w.
Farrell, and will endeavor to have a hearing
next week.
