Redriok Borden Turned Over to the
Superior Court by the Recorder.
Redrick Borden, the negro who was
carried into the barracks Sunday by a
crowd of his own color, on a charge of at
tempted assault, appeared before Re-
corder Wilson yesterday morning, and
after an investigation of the case he was
turned over TO the superior court to
answer TO the charge, and in default of
bond was sent to Jail.
Serena Thompson, the girl who charges
that Borden attempted an assault upon
her, is not over Ii years old. She and
her mother appeared against the negro
and gave statement of the affair. Dor
den was boarding at the house, and it
seems from the woman's statement, went
into the room where the girl was lying on
the bed. When the girl woke up she found
he had hold of her, and cried to her
mother, who came in time to brighten
Borden away. Borden claimed it was all
put up Job and that the case against
him was one of spite, though he did not
say what for. He was turned over to the
superior court, and in default of bail was
sent TO jail.
Agnes Neill who was arrested on a
charge of stealing $40 from two country
men named McLand and Baldwin, was
released, as there was no evidence that
she had taken anything from them. The
men had been to Tybee during Sunday
morning, and one Of them stated he had
lost pistol, though he could not remem-
Der where or when he had lost it. Tho
evidence was of the flimsiest character,
and she was released.

Mr.. ]. NJ. Dixon's Business Observa-
tions In the North.


Mr., J, NJ, Dixon, of the wholesale gro
Gerry firm Of j. M. Dixon & Co., who has
recently returned from several weeks
tour Of the large northern markets, was
seen yesterday by MORNING News re-
porter.
MIR. Dixon talked very interestingly of
his trip. He found the business of the
north in a somewhat perturbed state of
mind during his entire stay there When
he first went north the strike of the coal
miners was at its hight and business
was greatly interfered with on account
of It, Before he left for home the great
western railway strike was in full
progress, causing much alarm among all
classes of business men and greatly inter-
fering with many lines of business. Be
tween whites the northern business men
worried themselves over the income tax
Mr.. Dixon said he found the business
men and Weather classes of the north
very bitterly opposed to the income tax.
Meetings were frequently held denounc-
ing 1t and petltioning congress against it,
MIR. Dixon said the feeling among bust
ness men at the north is that business is
bound TO improve as soon as congress
passes the tariff bill and the railway
strike comes TO an end. He found money
plentiful ana easily secured at a very low
rate of interest. From what he saw and
heard he believes that general improve
ment in business will shortly begin.

THE CASE WOUND UP.
William German, Trustee, VS.. the
Coast Line, in the Court Five Years.

William German, Trustee, VS.. the
Coast Line, in the Court Five Years.
An order in the superior court by Judge
Falligant yesterday practically brings to
an end the well known suit of William
German, trustee, and others, against the
Coast Line railroad. The Coast Line
railroad was sold nearly five years ago
under judgment obtained by these
plaintiffs, and brought $4,000, which was
deposited with the Savannah Bank and
Trust Company, pending the determine
ton of suit against the road by Lucy
Green for the killing of her husband for
which a jury in the city court awarded
her 81, $50. Her attorneys, Messrs Leaken
& Richards, claimed that this Judgment
came ahead of the mortgage, and should
come out of the proceeds of the sale The
case was referred to a master, Mr. John
Sullivan Schley. The report decided
against Lucy Green and in favor of the
plaintiffs. The order yesterday overruled
a motion made to dismiss the report of the
master and dismissed the exceptions TO
that report. The amended report of the
master was affirmed and final verdict
and decree will be taken in a few days
No notice that the case will be carried to
the supreme court has vet been given,
