DIDN'T WANT ms BOY THRAsHED.
So Policeman Fleming Arrested His
sons schOOImate.


Recorder Wilson will investigate the
cause of the Henry street school trouble
this morning. Robert Downing Y year
old boy, is charged with creating an ex-
element at the school Monday after
noon the lad was arrested by Policeman
Fleming.
1t seems that Downing and Walter
Fleming. a son of Policeman Fleming,
and about the same age as Downing, had
been quarreling. Downing announced his
intention of laying for Fleming outside
the school. Mrs. Gray, the teacher, kept
young Fleming in after school was dis
missed to prevent trouble. Young Flem-
ing's sister went home and told her
father that Downing had a crowd of boys
waiting outside to beat her brother. 1t
seems that Policeman Fleming has had
complaints of trouble of this kind before
and went Immediately to the school and
found Downing and some other boys
there.
When Downing saw the policeman he
fore caught He was sent in to the bar
number of the members and friends of
the two families were present in the po-
lice court yesterday morning. Young
Downing denied that he was waiting to
do up Fleming, and claimed that the shoe
was on the other foot. At the request of
both parties the recorder continued the
case until this morning. A number of wit
nesSes have been summoned, including
two of the teachers.

President Samuel Spencer OF the South
ern Railway Company arrived in the city
Yesterday afternoon via The Southern and
Florida Central and Peninsular railroads,
and is stopping at the De Soto.
The object Of President Spencer's visit
Just M this time Is to be present when
the Central railroad system is turned
over TO the new company The Southern
IS the owner Of the majority stock in the
old and VIII OWE all the stock in the new
company. President Spencer comes. there
fore. as the official head OF the corpora
ton which owns the stock of the Cenubl
system. in order 10 represent it when the
transfer is made.
The court has ordered the receivers,
Messrs. II. NJ. Conner and r. Somers
Hayes, to turn the pltperty over TO the
new company al Midnight on the ngnt OF
Oct. 81. so that on the morning Of Nov. ]
il will be in full control The transfer viii

Of the temporary organization have been
completed.
the transfer of such property, even
though il is a large one. All Of the for
malities in connection with il have been
completed sometime. Certain circulars
viii be issued by the receivers, announcing
that the property was transferred 10 the
new company al the time designated by
the court, and other circulars, formally
announcing the necessary arrangements
will be issued by the new company. These
circulars will be issued either to-day or
tomorrow. The receivers VIII continue
as such, though not in possession or the
property, until they make their final re-
turns to the court
President Spencer will probably remain
here, or will be in conference with Re-
ceiVer Conner until sunday He has come
down as the chief representative Of the
largest stakeholder. to be present at the
transfer of the property, and also TO look
into its status and perhaps go over its
lines on tour of inspection, as he has
been invited to do by Receiver Conner.
1t is probable that President Spencer
will take a trip over certain portions or
the system with view to inspecting il
before he returns north.
As the Central is to pass practically into
the control of the Southern, the only
stockholder, 1t was thought some express
sion from him would be of interest to
the people of Savannah so many of whom
are interested in the property. a repre-
sentative of the Morning News called on
him at the De Soto last night. Mr. Spen-
Ger firmly declined 10 be interviewed,
however, saying that he was too tired TO
talk, and that even if he were not he
had nothing to say.
Receiver Conner has issued several invi-
tations requesting number Of Savan-
nahs prominent citizens to meet Presi-
dent Spencer at the De Soto hotel to-
morrow night.

THE WEEK OF OPERA.
The Performance and the Attend
anee Both Growing Better.

There is no more reliable test Of merit
IN an opera company. as in any other
business enterprise than the patronage.
Inc Gfau Opera Company opened Non
day night TO a larger house than that
which greeted II on its opening night
last year, and last night the attendance
was considerably in excess Of that the
night before. Had the select portion of
the audience been gathered on the first
moor, as was necessarily the case last
year, there would have been standing
room Only-and not much Of that.
The opera was The Black Hussar, and
II was rendered in an altogether pleasing
manner. From start TO finish the per-
Iormance, in singing, costumes and
staging, left nothing TO be desired that
could with reason have been desired.
by her artistic work Her duet with Mr..
LiDDey Loves Language Is Kiss,
was particularly effective. Miss Randall
Is suffering with a slight cold, but from
the purity and sweetness Of her voice
one would never guess II. Mr.. Llbbey
was as good in the character OF the
black HusSar as he was the night before
IN the character OF the giaOur. He is
handsome man, one Of the kind that
would be expected TO DO heroic deeds
He makes up an ideal hussar; soldier
It would be dangerous to meet elsewhere
than behind the fOOtights. And his
singing Is in keeping with his stage pres
ence.
Miss Hattie ArnOld-the stout lady
with salaam and apologies for the iden-
tifcation)-is an artist. Her comedy IS
piquant and appetisiug, and her voice IS
second to none in the company in point or
power and purity. Miss Arnold's work is
characterized by intelligent endeavor
which wins merited success. Miss Amy
Leslie who Is the second Lead is hOtn
graceful and charming in each role that
she assumes. Frear. Martin and Waldo
had their innings I'm the notice yesterday.
They are funny and clever fellows, but
they Will have to wait their turn again.
The company Will sing a matinee this
afternoon at half past two O'Clock. Tar
and Tartar will be the opera. 1t IS thor
Oughly enjoyable and is beautifully cos
TUNED. The opera for the performance
tonight will be the Beggar Student 1t
has been something like seven years
since this piece was performed in Savan-
nah. Mr. Grau promises that it Will be
one of the best operas of the engage
ment.

DON'T WANT TO M RESPONSIBLE.
MIR. Won Camp Secures an Injunction
Against His Partner.

Against His Partner.
Messrs Seabrook and Morgan, repre-
senting A. S. VonKamp, secured an in
junction from Judge r. L. Gamble yes
terday restraining Sadie f. Towles from
making any disposition of the property
in the saloon business at the northwest
corner of Price and South Broad streets.
which was, up to oct. 2. run by A S.
NonKamp & Co., the defendant being the
company.
the defendant half interest in the prop
erty and then on Oct. 3 1895, sold out his
interest to her, the agreement being that
she was to assume all the debts of A. S.
Nonkamp q CO. and all future liabili-
ties as we'll This was considered, the
petition states, a part of the pur-
chase money. Vonkamp then goes on to
state that in several instances debts of
NonKamp & Co. have fallen due and
that the creditors have looked to him
for payment. Other creditors, he says,
have notified him they will hold him re-
sponsible for their claims unless they
are paid by Sadie +. Towles. These
debts, it is alleged. will not be paid when
due and the claims will consequently
fall on him, because the defendant pub
lished no notice Of dissolution of part
nership as should have been done
Further than this it was stated that the
defendant is offering the property for
sale without any apparent intention of
settling up the claims against it.
Inc petltien stated that a receivership
was his only adequate remedy, and unless
the property was taken charge of by the
courts the plaintiff would suffer irrepara-
bic loss. On the showing made, Judge
Gamble, who was asked to act in the
absence OF Judge Falligant, granted a
temporary injunction to prevent any dis
position being made of the property and
set the hearing Tor Nov. 8 before Judge
Falligant. In the meantime, Sheriff John
7. Roman has been made temporary re-
ceiver, and now has charge of the prop
erty. He has stationed there for the time
being Deputy Sheriff Dick Higgins, and
while the business will go on as usual
he will see tat the injunction of the
court is not violated.

LITTLE PROSPECT OF AGREEMENT.
The Plant People and the City sim
Apart on Street Crossings.

The question of the extension of the
streets across the right-of-way of the Sa-
vannah, Florida, and Western railway
will hardly come up before the city coun-
Gil to-day Mayor Myers said yesterday
that he did not think the special commit
tee would have anything to report to the
meeting this afternoon.
A meeting of the committee was
held yesterday to consider the sub
ject in advance of a conference
with the Plant representatives to-
day. Mayor Myers declined to discuss the
subject. Evidently the prospect for an
agreement satisfactory to both parties
has gone glimmering.
Another member of the committee said:
THE situation is the same as last stat
ed in the Morning News. Neither side
has changed its position, and we are just
as far apart as ever. / do not expect the
meeting tomorrow to result in anything.
The prospect now is that the negotiations
will end without anything being accom-
plished."
