that in May, 1891. she expostulated
with him for iii-treating horse, where
upon he knocked her down, beat her.

The plaintiff, finding that she was un-
able to bear such treatment any longer,
prays that the marriage be dissolved aud
thai she be allowed to resume her maiden
name. There are no children.

AFTER SAILOR srEALBRs.
Detective Wetherhorn Starts the Cru

Detective Wetherhorn Starts the CRU
sede with Success.
Detective Wetherhorn yesterday arrested
Dan Smith, John Dixon and Joe Lewis,
three negro sailor runners connected with
Thompson's house for completely in harbor-
ing and enticing away Sailor Muller of the
Elba.
Detective Wetherhorn caught Smith IN
der a house on the Thunderbolt road, with
pistol ready for use. but which
he was afraid to pull in view
OF the fact that the big 6-shooter OF the de-
tective was pointing at his head in a dan
Rerous manner. Dixon took refuge in a
house in Yamacraw when he saw Detect
i've Wetherhorn coming for him, and the
officer was compelled to break down the
door to capture his man. Lewis was caught
without difficulty. Thompson and his wife
were arrested the day before. All are now
in jail and viii be tried in the city court to
morrow.
Detective Wetherhorn has started
crusade against sailor "stealers" and will
not let up until he has pub au end to the
practice which is now so injurious TO Sa-
vaunah's commerce. In old times
the sailors were drugged and
hid out until after their
ships sailed, but in these days runners are
using the more persuasive style of offering
inducements in the shape of S. or $40 to
the sailors to desert a day or two before
their ship is ready to sail and get shipment
in another with advance money. Then they
harbor them in some negro boarding house
until another vessel is found In need
of men, when the captains are furnished
these deserters for advance money of $25 or
$50. The sailor possibly gets Is and the
''stealer" pockets the balance as profit.
The ships which suffer mostly from this
practice are Norwegian, German and
Italian. Detective Weuherhorn's first haul
has been among the negro ''suealers, but
he has his eye on several white men who
are plying the same trade and if they are
not very careful in their movements here
after they will suddenly find themselves
behind jail bars.

A SEIZURE KILLED HER.
LYDIA SMALL LOSES BIER FURNI-
TURE BY Law AND DIES.

For 81 65 a Constable Levies Upon
Everything the Woman Possesses.
AS She sees the Last Load Leave the
Door She Falls Into a Fatal Faint.
Her Appeals Against Total Despolia-
ton Unheeded-The Case Arouses
Indignation.
Lydia Small, a colored woman. died at
her home, on Harris street near Price. night
before last after four hours suffering from
a shock brought on by the loss Of her house,
hold furniture. 1t was peculiar case.
In July last Lydia secured loan of SIS
from party for which she gave two notes
Of 81 so each. due in August and September.
She met the August obligation on time, but
despite strenuous efforts on the part Of her
self and husband to secure the necessary
money she was compelled to default on the
September note 1t had been Endorsed, and
to protect the indorser and for further
security for the small amount Of money the
woman gave bill of sale on her furniture.
The note was placed in the hands of a
loan and collection agency and an action
brought against the furniture for a. 65,
principal and interest. Wednesday after
noon at o'clock levy was made by a
constable, and instead of taking enough
good to satisfy the claim, he despoiled the
house OF everything and even carried off
the woman's personal property. Here was
the household furniture taken: A suite of
plush furniture, a sewing machine, a suite
of mahogany furniture and an organ. The
stuff had to be carried off in four loads.
The poor woman protested against taking
everything she had and begged that some
thing be left, at least for her to lie upon,
but her pleadings were all in vain. For the
miserable pittance of 81 IS the constable
had authority to carry of everything but
the house itself and he executed bis
authority without any regard to reason or
right.
As each wagon load was carted away the
woman cried and bemoaned her unfortunate
predicament, and finally, as the last started
off, she uttered a scream and fell in faint.
A physician was summoned, but the shock
the woman had received was too severe,
and, despite all medical agencies, she never
recovered consciousness, and died at Z
o'clock.
A great deal of Indignation was expressed
by people who heard of the case, and it was
reported to Coroner Dixon. 1t was beyond
that officials jurisdiction, however, as the
woman's death, while probably hastened by
the circumstances connected with the seiZ-
ure Of her furniture nevertheless was due
to what is known by law as natural causes.
The case smacks considerably of what is
read about evictions in Ireland,

A FRIEND OF JUDGE JACKSON.

| Hon. Pope Barrow's Estimate Of the
Nominee to the Supreme Bench.
Hon. Pope Barrow OF Savannah is inti-
mately acquainted with Judge Howell E.
! Jackson OF Tennessee, who was recently
nominated by President Harrison to succeed
Justice Lamar upon the supreme bench.
| Mr.. Barrow was with Judge jackson in the
| United States Senate. was on the same COM
mittees with him and had ample opportun-
| ity OF becoming intimately acquainted with
| him.
| Mr.. Barrow was asked yesterday by a
MORNING NEWS reporter for some account
Of Judge jackson and also how he regarded
his appointment to succeed MIR. Lamar. He
replied:
II know Judge jackson well. We were
on the same committees in the Senate and 1
| had frequent and ample opportunity to
make fair estimate OF him as a man and
as a lawyer. In both respects his rank in
the Senate was as high as any He is a
sound, safe, profound lawyer aud a Cour-
ageous inoorrupuible man. No better APP
pointment could have been made President
Harrison served with him in the Senate and

highly. The people OF the United States

first / have argued cases before him and
found him all that judge should be. The
people Of the Fifth circuit are fortunate in
this appointment. He will no doubt be
assigned to this circuit aud will take active
hold OF the business. He is a man Of tireless
energy as we'll as great learning. He lives
on his farm a few miles this side of Nash
vile on the turnpike road. 1t is the famous
Belle Meade stock farm. In every respect
the appointment Is the very best that could
have been made. OF course he is a sound
and true democrat in his political convio-
tions"
Judge Emory Speer of this district, as is
we'll known, received hattering mention for
the position to which Judge jackson has
been nominated. 1t is safe to say, however,
without intending any left-handed compli-
ment to Judge Speer, that the whole people
of his district excepting. perhaps. the law
breakers and especially the business in-
terests, are to be congratulated that he re-
mains upon the bench of this district. Judge

shoots OF Live Oak lodge, Haupts Acorn and
