CARRIED IN BY A CROWD.
frederick Borden Arrested on
Charge of Attempted Assault.

frederick Borden Arrested on a
Charge of Attempted Assault.
frederick Borden, a gingercake colored
negro, was carried into the barracks yes
terday on a charge of attempted assault
on Sonora Thompson, a little negro girl
Borden was arrested by a crowd of
negroes, who felt outraged at the alleged
action on his part, and was by them taken
to the barracks.
The affair occurred about II o'clock
yesterday morning on West Boundary
street, between Walker and Sims. It
seems that Borden was boarding with the
girls mother. The mothers attention
was attracted by the cries of her
daughter, and she ran into Borden s ROOM
where the girl was found. The girl
then told her mother what Borden
had attempted to do, and the woman,
feeling highly outraged, went to look for
pistol. Borden saw things were get
ting pretty warm, and he skipped out be-
fore the pistol was found. He hid him
self not far away from the house to
await developments. The girls mother
informed her neighbors of what had hap
pened, and they went out on a searching
tour
Borden was soon found by the crowd,
and there was some little murmur about
giving vent to their outraged feelings in
Immediate action. Conservative heads
controlled the affair, however, and Dor
den was taken into the barracks
Dorden's story of the affair is that he
was In his room taking a nap when the
girl came in and began to play with him.
He denies that he attempted any assault,
and says the charge is trumped up one
The charge was preferred by the mother,
and was based entirely on the girls story

Mr.. Schuman, ex-cheif of the convict

his home in the country night before last
was set upon at Estil avenue and Waters
road by three negroes and robbed Of his
coat and hat and about 81. After plunder-
ing him the robbers tied him and left him
by the road Mr.. Schuman does not know
what their idea was in tying him, but
supposes it was to prevent his following
or giving an alarm.
Mr.. Mcbride, who lives on the Waters
road short distance from the scene of
the outrage, was returning from the city
with his wife in a buggy, and found Mr.
Sehuman and relieved him from his IN

BAKING POWDER.
MELON GROWERS LOSE HEAVILY
The Losses on Account of the Strike
Already Very Large.


The break in the great western railway
strike this week will come too late to be
of any benefit TO the melon growers OF
southwest Georgia. They have already
lost thousands of dollars by reason of in
ability to reach the western markets ana
because of hundreds of cars of melons
rotting in the railway yards, or sold for
less than the cost of freight at points al
ready overstocked.
1t has been bad year for melon grow
ers. First, the late freeze destroyed
their fine prospects by killing out the
entire crop. The second crop had good
prospects until the prolonged drought
cut it short, and caused it to come into
the market later than would have been
the case otherwise. The growers would
hardly nave made more than expenses
anyway, and the closing of the western
markets by the strike means net loss TO
almost every grower in the business
Supt Fleming of the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway said yesterday that
while most of the western connections
were cut off by the strike, his company is
still shipping melons as far north as On
clnnati by the way of the East tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia railway. A large
number is being consumed by southern
points, he said, south OF the ONO river,
though the loss to the growers by the
cutting off of the western markets will
necessarily be great.
Supt Fleming said that all freight
traffic with the west had been grealy in
terfered with by the strike.
Bacon has taken another rise as the re-
suit of the strike The butchers in the
market have pushed the sale Of domestic
meat in order to make their small stocks
of western meat 90 as far as possible.
They do not expect to be able to get any
more western meat this week. There is
plentiful supply of domestic beef
cattle to supply the market for
an indefinite length of time.
In fact a MORNING News reporter
was informed by a live stock dealer
that there is always more of this class of
cattle in the market than the market de-
mands, and in consequence the dealers
make a practice of discouraging ship
ments of cattle. A well-knOwn market
butcher said that while the western beef
is generally tenderer than the domestic
product, the latter is sweeter, and is pre-
ferred by a great many people on this ac-
count.

DEMOCRATS f.!
Read These Circulars-Compare Them Carefu1y-No-
tce the Difference in the Character of the Appeals
Made to Voters, and Also Compare the Two Tickets.

Savannah, Ca, July Z, 1S94.-Permit
US to ask that you support at the coming
primary MIR. j. Randolph Anderson for
the Senate, and Messrs. T. II Mcmillan,
p. H, GeaFOn and w. G. Hartridge for
the House. We ask this not only because
of their fitness for the positions, but be-
cause we believe that the public good will
be promoted by their selection. They
have been put forward as the result of a
conference between representatives of
the Democratic and Tammany Clubs, and
Of citizens at large, and in this confer
ence a majority present were not men,
bers of either club. The ticket is a rep
resentative one and its members will, if
elected, go to the legislature untram-
meled by any obligations or influence
that will interfere with the discharge of
their duties
There is absolutely nothing in their
records TO justify the charge, which we
understand is circulated, that they are in
imical to pure election or registration
laws. They favor such laws, and particu-
larly the Australian ballot system. This
charge is absolutely without any founda-
tion in fact.
They are not running in the interest of
any clique or faction, or for the purpose
Of aiding any man aspirations in the next
municipal campaign, or TO influence in
any way this question. They stand upon
their records as citizens and democrats
and ask your support upon this basis.
Thoroughly identified with this COM
munity unpledged as to lnen or measures,
with no political debts to pay and with
no political axes to grind, these gentle
men pre-eminently stand for the people as
whole; and if elected their constituents
will have every assurance that they will
be free to legislate fairly, honestly and
intelligently for the best welfare of the
state, the county and the city.
Mr.. Gearon may not be known to you
personally. If you do not know it, you
can easily ascertain by inquiry among
those who know him, that he is, in all
respects, good citizen and good man
intelligent, conservative, public spirited
and honorable He is a worthy represen-
tative of large and influential class to
whom our people and party owe so much.
He is entitled to the support of all demo-
Gratis, and we trust he will receive this
support from you. His friends will sup
port the other candidates on the ticket,
and we bespeak for them like treatment.
Our candidates have made common cause
and they unite with us in this request

A MODEL CHARITY.
The Handsome New Building of the
Little Sisters of the Poor.

The Handsome New Building of the
Little Sisters of the Poor.
The new home of the Little Sisters of
the Poor, fronting on Seventh street. be-
tween Abercorn and Lincoln, is now
about complete, and will within less than
two months time be ready for occupancy.
The contract called for its completion by
Oct. l, but the contractors have gone
ahead with the work, and it will be ready
before Sept. l.
The building is handsome one, consist
ing of three stories on a basement The
appearance of the front elevation is one
of a large piazza between two wings, in
the center of which is the main entrance.
At present, however, only one of the
wings will be built. Rooms in the north
end of the building will be used Temporal
rily for purposes to which 1t is expected
those Of the north wing will be put when
it is built. A large room in the building
will also be used temporarily for the
chapel. II is expected 10 build a chapel
later in the rear of the building as it
stands.

TALK OF A RECEIVER.
Electric Railway People Say the Move
against Them Won't Succeed.

Against Them Won't Succeed.
It is believed that the next move in the
street railway fight will be an attempt on
the part of the City ana Suburban rail
way people to put the Electric railway
in the hands Of a receiver. The interest
on the first mortgage bonds of the Elec-
trio railway was due July 1. 1t is re-
ported that the holders of the greater
portion Of these bonds, which are in pool,
had agreed to waive the interest on their
bonds. No notice has yet been published
announcing the payment Of this interest.
The affairs Of the Electric railway are
watched with eagle eyes by their Oppo-
nents. II is known that Messrs. Barrow
81 Osborne, acting as attorneys for the
City and Suburban railway, have pur-
chased the coupons upon several thousand
dollars worth of bonds not included in
the pool. and the natural inference is that
this is done to enable them to demand a
receiver for the property should the cou-
pons not be paid.
A director Of the Electric railway, who
was seen last night, said the report that
the interest upon the first mortgage
bonds had not been passed was
without foundation. Every coupon
which has been presented tor pay
ment has been paid, he said land you
will hear of no coupon being re-
fused payment. The rumOrs proba-
bly, refer to the preferred stock
of the real estate company, the
interest upon which is now due This
stock is cumulative, however, and it is
not compulsory upon the company to pay
it. 1t has not yet been decided whether
TO pay this interest or to allow it to &C
cumulate in order to devote the money to
other purposes. The real estate company
has money in the treasury from the sale
of lands, however, and the interest on the
preferred stock will probably be paid
1.-The City and Suburban people will
get no chance to put the Electric railway
in the hands of a receiver" he said, in
conclusion.

ALL WANTED TO BE BOSSES.
Fire Department Foremen Changed
About Because of 1t.

Fire Department Foremen Changed
About Because of 1t.
The changes made in the fire depart
ment by Chief Puder have excited some
comment. Foreman John Cullum of en-
CINE company No. has been transferred
to engine company No, 2, Foreman Con-
ley of engine company No. 2 to engine
company No. 4, and Foreman Steinberg Of
No. TO engine company No g.
The changes are understood to have
been made in the interest of harmony in
the fire department on account of some
friction between the officers at the fire
headquarters on South Broad street.
There are three companies at head
quarters, the engine company, the hook
and ladder company and the chemical
companies. Each company has its fore
man, who is independent of the other
two. Neither foreman was disposed to ac-
knowledge the superior authority of
either OF the others, and the result was
occasional conflicts especially when two
foremen happened to be present at the
same point al a fire, and differed in their
opinions as to what was best to be done
All the foremen were popular with their
companies, and the order for the changes
was not very pleasantly received by the
men OF the various companies.
Chief Puder when asked to give a rea-
son for the changes declined TO say any
thing about the matter The changes
were decided upon at meeting of the fire
committees, at which the mayor was pres
emit, " was all he would say upon the sub
ject. The question of authority at head
quarters, however, is still undecided.

LAST GAME AT MEMPHIS.
The Local Club Disbands After a
Game With Atlanta.


Memphis, Tenn, July S.-The last pro-
fessional ball game to be played in Mem
phis this year, and probably for many
years to come, was that played this after
noon, when Atlanta defeated Memphis by a
score of IL to 3. Underwood and
Mason were the opposing pitch
ers. The Memphis team was
patched up affair, several of
the best players having left the city and
some of those who were on the field had
been toying with the flowing bowl so as
siduously, that they were in no shape for
playing ball The Atlanta team played
ball just like the league was in it's most
prosperous days. 1t appears, however,
that they are far from being dead team
and Atlanta will see a series of hard
games, beginning tomorrow.
