a CONVICT AND a BURGLAR.
Chairman d.. b. After an Escape From
the COn-.ty Changing.

There promised 10 be another little
clash OF authority between the county
and city authorities yesterday In the mat
ter Of a prisoner.
John Brown. a colored convict. who es-
capped from the chain-gang about two
weeks ago, was arrested last Sunday by
Detective Wcthcrhorn, the charge against
him being burglary, though ii was put
down on the police records as safe keep
ing subject to a warrant
As Brown was "a fugitive convict, d
request upon the authorities who had
charge Of him was made by County En-
gineer ". a. Dayton. who has charge
OF the convicts, and who is responsible
for their safe keeping. The police. how
ever, refused 10 give Brown up 10 the
chain-gang authorities, as he was want
ed Tor burglary the case being one
which required some investigation. For
this reason he was held a the barracks
until some inquiry into the alleged bur
gary could be made.
Il was found Brown was the party who
recently broke into the office Of Mr.. G.
II. MedlOck on the wharf and stole about
$50 cigars and some other stuff, and Re
Cor1er Wilson yesterday morning turned
him over TO the superior court on tnat

drawn and issued from the court.
In the meantime Chairman j. j. Dale
of the county commissioners had been
looking into the natter He did not IKE
the idea of a convict whose services BIZ
lOnged 10 the county being held by the
city. He thought the convict should
have been turned over to the county au-
thorities TO De returned to the gang as
soon as he was captured. lie c0mtnu-
nicated his ideas on the subject TO Mayor
Myers ia a letter and asked thal BroWh

tcuce or the chain-ganE
The city authorities had succeeded IN
making the case of burglary. and so long
as Brown was to be kept prisoner they
saw no objection TO his gong back 10
the Changing. The intention, however,
was TO commit him 20 jail regularly on
the charge Of burglary. Brown was sent
oter 10 the Jail with the warrant, but
without commitment, and the Jallor
refused TO take him. A little later, now
ever. Sheriff Roman stated that IL would
be all right and Brown was sent back 10
the Jail and put in a cell. He was there
then as an escaped convict having beeh
sent without the commitment Tor DuIs-

made out later and sent over 10 the IAN
If the commitment had been sent win

can be reduced TO a misdemeanor such as

THE MISTIRE WILL CONTEST.
Arguments on the Cnveat Submitted
TO Judge FerrfII.

The contest over the last codicil 10 the
viii Of Robert AfcInure. dated Sept 4,
1875 was taken up before Judge II. L.
Ferrin Of the court Of ordinary yesterday
morning
The contest came up on a caveat to the
codicil fled by Messrs. :. W, Chas. A,
John F.. Frank n. Sydney H., and Henry
9. McIntire. and Mrs. Alice Fay, former
~ McIntire. the heirs Of Mrs. Fannie Nc
Intire. 10 whom the testatOr left IN his viii
lot No. % Liberty ward, with improve
ments, situated at York and Montgomery
streets the estimated value Of which is
about $1,000.
The witnesses examined were Mr.. and
Mrs. W. F. Mccoy, Mr.. and Mrs. A. r.
Fawcett, Mr.. and Mrs. W. Z. Wimpy, and
Mr.. John Houston. The caYeators were
represented by Mr.. J. r. Saussy, Jr. The
codicil over which the contest took place
revoked the bequest made 10 Mrs. Fannie
Mclntire, the sister-in-laW Of the testator
or account Of her death. The caveators
claimed that the testatOr was not mentally
capable OF making the codiell' on account
OF an enfeebled condition both OF body ana
mind, that ne was unQcr the lnuuence OF
powerful drugs on account Of his enfee-
bled health and sickness, and that undue
influence was brought 20 bear upon him.
dr. Saussy argued the case on TINS nne,
and the argument in behalf OF the Wlil
VIM. GaFraTd
On the side Of the viii 1t was claimed
that the making OF such a codicil was the
most natural thing for the testatOr to DO.
II was shown that in the Will he had
made other provision for each Of the heirs
of Mrs. Fannie Mclntire, besides leaving
for her a certain portion of his estate;
and IL was urged that the making OF the
codicil, considering that ne had made am
ple provision for those VINO are now the
Caveators, was the most natural thing
for him TO do. When Mrs. Mclntire died
he simply turned that portion of the prop
erty left to her into the general fund OF
the estate for distribution among other
requests. These reasons, together with
the testimony given, We're urged TO show
that the testator was capable of making
a will, and that no undue influence was
brought to bear upon him when the codi-
ell was signed.
After hearing the evidence and argu-
ments Judge Ferrill took the matter UNI
der advlsement. He is usually prompt in
making decisions, and il IS probable that
he will sign an order in this case to-day
or tomorrow. Whichever way the mat
ter is decided. it is said, it will be ap-
pealed.

TO VISIT THE EXPOSITION.
Central Employees Given Five Days
and Free PASSES.

Receiver H. NJ Conner Of the Central
railroad has issued an order giving each
of the employees in the mechanical de-
partments of the Central railroad a five
days leave of absence with full pay in or
der that they may be enabled to visit the
Atlanta exposition. They are also given
free transportation for themselves and
families.
In the summer time when many of the
men were put on half time. and others
were temporarily laid off, they remained
faithful to the interests Of the Central,
and It was considered that their loyalty
was entitled to some recognition. The
men will be allowed to go a few a time
as they can be spared from their work,
until they have all had an opportunity to
see the exposition.
The employees in all departments are be-
ing given time off as they can be spared
for the purpose of visiting the exposition.
The officers of the road have been ex-
ceedngly liberal in this respect, and their
action Will undoubtedly be heartily appre-
ciated.

LIGHTNING'S VIVID PLAY.
a storm That Was n Reminder OF
Midsummer.

Midsummer.
Savannah had a thunderstorm last
night that was a reminder of midsummer.
There were frequent flashes of lightning
early in the evening. but the force of
the storm was not felt until 10 O'clock.
From then until after Il o'clock a heavy
rain fell, and the lightning was incess-
ent.
Few thunderstorms in midsummer are
more violent. The thunder was heavy.
The storm passed over the city and was
very severe south of it. The rainfall was
something over an inch. The lightning
inteffered to some extent with the cleo
trio lights. and for short time with the
running of the street cars, but no Sc
rious damage was reported.
For awhile the lightning was very Sc
we're and appeared to have struck several
times in the heart Of the city. The police
who were on duty during the storm re-
ported no damage, however, when they
turned in their reports.
The indications at midnight when the
storm had about ceased, were for cooler
weather 10 fellow the continued unsettled
weather Of to-day. 1t was much cooler last
night in the west and northwest. At Bis
marck, n. D., mercury was down to II
degrees.
