TO WHIP THE RECORDER.
The Crazy Mobilian Challenges His
Honor in the POLICE Court.


r. S. Nicoll, the crazy man from
Mobile, who was lodged in the barracks
night before last for creating disturb
ance in boarding house on East Broad
street, created a sensation in the police
court yesterday morning.
Nicoll, who is undoubtedly out of his
mind, charged with assaulting Mrs.
Freelong, who keeps boarding house on
East Broad street near the corner of Bay
street, was brought into the police court
for hearing. Nicoll surprised every
body by cursing the recorder and announc-
ing his willingness to whip him and
everybody else in sight
Cashier Kyle, of the Screven House,
who came here from Mobile stated TO the
recorder that Nicoll was well-known in
Mobile, where he had many friends who
would doubtless interfere in his behalf as
soon as they heard of his condi-
ton. Nicoll appeared to be suffering
from maniaua potu. His hearing was
postponed until this morning, when, if
nothing is heard from Mobile regarding
him, he will be turned over to the Jail for
hearing on writ de lunatico inquir-
eudo.
Mr.. Thomas Ballantyne received a let
ter yesterday from Nicoll's wife in Mo
bile, begging him to do what he could for
her husband and to keep him at work if
possible. Nicoll has acted strangely be-
fore, it said, but never showed any evil
dences of insanity.
Nicon was for several years foreman of
McDonough & Ballantyne's machine shop
on East Broad street, but left Savannah
several years ago for Shreveport, La,
from which place he afterwards removed
to Mobile.
Mayor McDonough said yesterday, in
speaking of Nicoll, that he was a fine
machinist, and he was sorry that he had
gotten into such a condition.

A TANDEM OF RUNAwAYs.
Marrow Escape from a Collision on
Johnson Square.


A queer runaway occurred in the neigh
borhood of Johnson square yesterday af-
ternoon. 1t was about 6 O'Clock when the
loungers in front of the hotels noticed a
horse with his harness hanging to him
dash into the square from Bryan street at
full speed. About so yards behind the
horse came a mule hitched to a wagon
also going at full tilt.
The runaways rounded the square and
passed the Screven House at tandem.
A buggy containing two young ladies was
on Congress street directly in front of
the runaways. The young lady who
held the reins saw the danger and acted
with great presence of mind. She pulled
to one side, out of the way of the horse,
and then drove right across Congress
to Bull street, passing directly in front of
the mule and wagon, and avoiding both
runawaYS.
A prominent citizen came down Bull
street III his buggy just as the two runa-
ways reached the corner, and only escaped
being run over by running his buggy over
on the side next the square, his horse
running up upon the grass plat.
The double runaway separated at Dray-
ton street, the horse, turning down Dray-
ton and the mule continuing down Con-
greSs street.
The horse doubtless ran into the mule
and wagon after starting on his race,
frightening the mule and causing him to
run away also.
1t was queer sight to see two runa-
ways going in the same direction, and
one right behind the other

Frank williams Is Tired of the Jail
and Prefers Some Exercise.

Frank Williams. the one-legged negro
who stole Mr.. j. McLaughlin's pocket
book from his pocket week or two ago
and who was sentenced to three months
in Jail, is tired of Jail life and wants to go
to the gang.
He wrote Judge MaeDonell a note a day
or two ago saying that he regretted his
sentence and asking the judge to take
compassion on him as he was one-legged
and send him out to the gang. Judge
MacDonell was busy at the time and did
not attend to the request at once. Yes
terday Judge MacDonell received the fol-
lowing note from Williams:
Dear Judge McDonell Win you please
send me out on the gang, as can't eat any
thing here IN jail? am one-legged and have
no chance here TO exercise. l can work in
the yard, and clean lamps and such other

TO BE SENT TO TAMPA.
Mayor McDonough Did Not Know
Mrs. Cooper Was Sick.

Mayor McDonough was asked yesterday
about the Mrs, Cooper, of Tampa, who
was sent to the Savannah hospital suffer-
ing with paralysis, having just arrived
from Atlanta by the Central railroad.
lie replied that Mr.. Cooper, who called
upon him to ask for assistance to reach
Tampa, said nothing about his wife. He
presented some papers which he wanted
Mayor McDonough to read, but the lat
ter did not have time, and merely glanced
at them. He saw something about paral-
ysls IN the papers and seeing that Mr.
Cooper was an able-bOdied man he thought
he was trying to impose upon him and
declined to render any assistance.
Mayor McDonough did not know that
MIR. Cooper was accompanied by his wife
until DR.. Elliott, chief surgeon of the
Central Railroad, reported TO him that
there was woman at the Central depot
suffering with paralysis, when he imme-
dlately ordered her sent TO the hospital
The couple will be furnished with trans
portation out of the city as soon as Mrs
Cooper RECEIVERS.

The week ending November 10 pre-
scnt5 largely increas, Il number of new
industrial and manufacturing enterprises
in the south. This marked increase must
certainly indicate that capitalists looking
to investments in the southern states are
gradually recovering their confidence and
are proceeding to place their capital in
that section of the country which has
best stood the financial strain of the cur.
rent year. Municipal improvements, such
as water works, lighting plants, sewers
etc, continue to engage the attention OF
southern cities, the week having eight
such announced. The established plants
generally have been operating on full
time during the entire year, and some OF
them are now contemplating enlarge
ments. In textile matters there is little
to comment upon, mention having been
made recently of the continued operation
of nearly all the mills. A new company
in North Carolina which was formed last
spring has now enough confidence in
good times ahead and has ordered the
purchase of complete outfit The Balti-
more Manufacturers Record presents in
it's construction department each week a

TIVE BANKRUPTCY.
Biye $3.50

1t has been assumed that there would
be no serious opposition in congress to
the bankruptcy bill agreed upon in COM
mittee and reported to the house. 1t ap-
pears, however, that this was a mistaken
impression, the discussion already had
showing that there is good deal of de-
termined opposition to the measure, and
it is obvious that its supporters will not
be able to pass it without struggle, This
opposition, as shown in the discussion, is
based chiefly upon the Involuntary clause,
although one Of the opponents of the bill
declared that it is the incarnation Of all
evils. The opposition to the measure
also takes the view that this is not good
time to enact such a law, because in the
present conditions of business the num-
Der of failures in the near future may be
largely increased, while the tendency of
such legislation would be to perpetuate
depression.
There is not much force in this sort of
argument. 1t is obvious that just and
equitable law, which would protect
creditors and at the same time enable
insolvent debtors to relieve themselves
of all burdens, so that they might resume
business if disposed to do so, could not
tend to perpetuate depression. 1t must
be apparent, rather, that such a law
would tend to relieve depression by
creating more confidence in business
circles 1t is not really important, how
ever, TO consider what might be the effect
in this direction. What is needed is
uniform system of bankruptcy to take
the place of the numerous state laws,
which are of no value outside of the
states which have them, and if such
law is just and equitable in its opera
ton, dealing fairly with both the credi.
tor and the debtor and capable of being
promptly and economically administered,
it would accomplish great deal of good.
1t is true that the experience of the
country with general bankruptcy laws
has been far from satisfactory, and the
last statute Of this kind was particularly
faulty, but this experience does not show
that the principle is wrong or prove that
we cannot have a law that will work
satisfactorily. The measure reported in
congress was framed with great cane.
The original Torrey bill, which has re-
ceived numerous amendments, was sub.
