BEATEN WITH A BILLY.
Thomas Bennett Assaulted on the
Stoop of His House.

Two men called Thomas Bennett out of
his house at No. 51s Orange street
last night shortly before midnight,
and assaulted him, apparently with
deadly intent. II they did not
kill Bennett it is not their
fault. He received at least twenty-five
blows on his head, neck and face from a
leaden billy, and there is hardly a square
inch of surface on his head that did not
receive blow. Bennett says that one of
the men is a city policeman, whom he
knows by sight, though he does not know
his name. He was not in uniform.
According to Benefits story he came
into his house at about twenty minutes
to twelve and was just preparing to go to
bed when he heard knock at his door
He raised a window on the second
floor where he was and looking out saw
two men on the stoop. He recognized
one of them as the policeman. He asked
what they wanted.
WANTED TO SEE ALICE.
They replied by asking if Alice" was
there.
Bennett replied that no such woman
lived there, and ordered them off his stoop.
The men made some retort, and he told
them if they did not get off his stoop he
would make them do So He started down
to enforce his threat. When he opened
the door and stepped out on the stoop the
men had started off, and were in the mid
die of the street When they saw Ben
nett the larger man of the two, who was
dressed in a navy blue suit and is said
to be a policeman, ran back. AS
he approached Bennett saw something
in his hand, which he at first took for a
pistol, but as the man approached closer
he saw it was billy. He attempted to
ward off the blow, but was struck in the
head. He knocked the man down, but he
| came at him again, and the two had a
| rough-and-tumblef fight.
THE MAN A CRIPPLE.
Bennett is a cripple, one hip being out
of place, but is very powerful man in
spite of his defOrmity. Notwithstanding
the other man had the billy, Bennett got
in such good work on him that he called
| upon his companion for help. The
younger man rushed up, and Selling Ben
nett by the legs, threw him down.
The two then beat and kicked Bennett
almost into a state of insensibiity. A
| colored woman living across the street
saw the fight and corroborates Benefits
story entirely. She screamed at such a
rate as to arouse the whole neigh
| borhood, and the crowd that
was attracted to the scene
finally frightened the two men off They
ran down Ann street and up Pine.
Bennett was found clinging to a lamp
post by an acquaintance who took him
down to Feeley's stables. DIR.
w. e. Norton was sent for and
had Bennett removed to his home,
where he dressed his wounds. They are
all scalp and flesh wounds, some of them
badly lacerated, but do not appear to be
serious.
1t is safe to say, however, that Bennett
will have the sorest head of any man in
Savannah this morning. He is a carriage
painter and works at Feeley's stables.

sALADIN CARRIED THE JUG.
He Was a Wise Horse, but He Be-
trayed His Moonshiner Master.

From the New York Times.
Newton, N G, Sept. 19.-For some
time the revenue officers have been search
ng for a moonlight distillery near this
town, but without success. On every
public day almost every man that came in
from the country had jug of newly
made corn liquor. For miles up and down
on this side of the Catawba river diligent
search had been made.
Finally path to the river was found
on this side at a place where the water
was too deep to be forded and the banks
too steep to get in and out. A getting-out
place was also found on the other side
that appeared to have been used as a
horse path.
A watch was placed on this trail After
some days man was seen to tie Jug on
a sorrel horse, a short distance from the
river and the horse was turned loose and
followed the trail and plunged into the
river and swan across and disappeared in
the forest on the other side, which is the
CASTOR county side. In about an hour the
horse was observed to return, with the
jug tied to his neck.
The officer on the watch examined the
contents and found the liquid to be newly
made corn whisky. The next day Sal
adm, which is the name of the horse,
made another trip, and the officer fol-
lowed in a canoe across the river, and
then about two miles from the river in a
dense forest the illicit still was found.
The next day the officer raided and
caught the distiller and two other men
who were working at the distillery, and
while the officers were cutting up the still
and fixtures and turning the liquor loose
on the ground Saladin galloped up with a
jug tied on each side of his neck. This
time the moonshiner filed the jugs with
spring water, and suggested that this
would be good joke on the sender
II turned out to be a notice that the still
had been seized. The officers are now
pulling over the question how to make
Saladin witness when the court trial

accommodate twenty passengers and was
a success, but the owner desired some
thing OF larger proportions So he or
dered the twin screw launch PrOgresso,
which Is Just twice the size of the old one
The boat was completed a week or so ago
and taken at once to Newport, where Mr.
AstOr demonstrated that the largest
electric launch in the world was a sue
cess. The Progresso is made entirely of
double planked mahogany and finished in
the most expensive manner. Its length is
40 feet over all, Z feet inches beam and
3 feet 9 inches deep. There is a cabin
which occupies more than one-half of the
boat 1t is lighted by electricity, and
two motors and a double set of electric
mechanism run the boat. The boat was
designed TO average fl ON ten to twelve
miles per hour, but can be forced up to
sixteen. she is destined for use at both
the country and Newport homes of Mr..
Aston.

PooLER's SCHOOL HOUSE.
It viii Be Handsome One if the
Proper Site is SECURED.

The question of new school house at
Pooler came up before special meeting
of the board of education last night.
Vice President DR. Read presided, and
Messrs. Blum, Tattnal, Charlton and Es-
till were present.
DIR. Charlton and Capt. Blum of the
committee appointed at the last meeting
and Supt. Basher visited Pooler Thurs
day and examined the sites for the pro-
posed school house offered respectively
by MeSsrS. Newton and Collins, but
neither of the two lots was considered
suitable for the purpose, and the COM.
mittee so reported.
DR.. Charlton said that there were
plenty of vacant lots that would make ex-
cellent sites for the school house, but they
would have to be bought.
Capt. Blum was of the opinion that
there would be no difficulty in securing
any eligible location, if the board could
wait.
Col Estill moved that the report of the
committee be received and the secretary
instructed to notify the committee of citi-
zens of Pooler having the matter in
charge. that as soon as a suitable site is
secured the board will proceed without
delay to erect a new school house.
The talk incident to the report showed
that the board of education is in favor of
building substantial frame school house
at Pooler, and that in preparing plans for
it the commissioners will keep in mind the
future growth of that enterprising town.
A good location will secure handsome
building.
Several liberal subscriptions have al
ready been offered and it now remains for
the friends of education to do the rest.

From the Chicago Record

From the Chicago Record.
Somebody had been calling the atten-
ton of the wife of the maharajay of
Kupurthala to objects of special interest
at jackson park. 80 that is the woman's
building" she said, as the great white
structure was pointed out to her do
they allow me inside its walls2,
The question is amusing in itself, and
yet a great big interrogation mark of the
same kind has appeared before the
blurred vision of a thousand men who
have paused at its threshold
1t cannot fail of notice that the man
who wanders through the woman's build
ing seems invariably embarrassed and ill
at ease. If he goes alone he looks CON
science-stricken, glanCing furtively about
as If expecting to be elected. He doesn't
allow himself to become deeply interested
in anything, and when he finally reaches
the bronze statute of Lief Ericsson at the
west portal he feels relieved
Naturally enough, the married man, ac-
companied by his wife shriveled into in
significance in this atmosphere. He
becomes merely the husband of the
woman, and looks on meekly as she makes
the rounds. He feels about eleven wears
old and three feet seven inches in height.
He may have been always the self-assert-
I've, domineering lord and master of his
household, but fifteen minutes of the
woman's building reduces him TO a minus
quantity. He feels submissive to pain
full degree.
Yes, the women allow men inside the
woman's building. But in the nature of
things they can't encourage such inva-
sions.

WILL THERE BE A oLAsHp
Herman Miller's Stock Contscated
by Order of the Mayor,

Herman Miller, who runs a grocery and
barroom at the corner of West Boundary
street and Indian street lane, was prose-
cuted in the police court Tuesday for sell
ing liquor on Sunday, Sept, 10, for which
he was fined 800, and on a subsequent
charge for the same Offense on Sept. IL,
which was continued at the time, had his
stock confscated yesterday by order of
Mayor McDonough.
Miller, when reported for selling whisky
on the SLY, claimed he had not been in his
place of business on that day. When the
case was called against him continu-
ance was granted in order that he might
produce evidence to substantiate his
claim. 1t now turn out that he had some
business to attend to out of the city the
week in which he was docketed for the
second offenSe. The case was tried and
he was fined 500 and his license was re-
voked. Yesterday, Mayor McDonough,
thinking that it was scheme on Miller's
part TO avoid punishment, ordered
Detective Bossell to seize the
effects of his bar. British Anthony,
negro, who works for Miller
and George Smith, who happened to be
in the place when Detective Bossell ar
rived, were put under arrest, and sent to
Jail. Anthony was bonded out. Miller,
who returned to the city last night. was
also arrested, because he allowed his clerk
to sell whisky after his license had been
revoked
A test will be made of the case, in that
Miller will issue possessory warrant for
thewhislSy and bar, and if any objection
is made there will, in all probability, be-
clash between county and state. Mayor
McDonough is determined to break up
the Sunday whisky selling business.
