same charge, but recommended to the ex-
treme mercy of the court, was fined $50

in imposing the sentence, referred to the
nature of the assault. 1t is a form of as
sault, he said. that results often in homi-
eide. the outraged recipient of the blows,
being likely to seek revenge for the Insult
and ignominy that blow from lash
bears.
]. r. Masters was given the lighter SEN
tence in view of his not having used a

on Mr. Fantl.

IN THE RAILROAD WORLD.
Matters of Interest In Savannah and
Elsewhere.

Mr.. r. H. Wright, general freight and
passenger agent of the Port Royal and
Augusta, was in the city yesterday.
Mr.. c. j. Acosta of the Plant system
after spending short vacation in the
mountains of Tennessee.
Mr.. F. B. Papy general freight agent
Of the Plant system, left yesterday for
New York to attend a meeting of the
Southern States Freight Association. Mr.
Papy was accompanied by Mr.. viii Hew-
lit, his secretary. Mr.. James Menzies
the systems assistant general freight
agent, will cave to-day to attend the meet
ing.
Mr.. r. W. Glading, general agent of the
Louisville, New Albany and Chicago, with
headquarters at Townsville, was in sa-
vannah yesterday.
Mr.. Walter Hawkins, Florida passenger
agent of the Central railroad and the
Ocean Steamship Company, was in the city
yesterday en- route to the Canadian prov
inces, where he will spend a short vaca-
ton.
Mr.. ]. T. Medlin has been appointed
travelling auditor OF the Plant system the
appointment to be in effect from yester-
day. Mr.. Medlin has many friends that
join in congratulations over his merited
promotion. He is at present in Maine
on business connected with his position.
At receivers sale of the Port Royal and
Augusta railroad at Port Royal yesterday
the road was sold to Thomas and Ryan
for $550000.
The hearing of the petition of the Trav-
elers' Protective Association to the state
railroad commission for two-cent rate
that was to have been given yesterday,
has been indefinitely postponed.
1t has been intimated in Atlanta that
the rate Of 80 from Atlanta to Norfolk
would be reduced to IS by the Seaboard
Air Line. A telegram from Portsmouth
stated that every time an injunction was
asked for the Seaboard would cut rates 81.
1t seems that the Seaboard Is resolved
to demoralize passenger rates first. This
was the policy pursued before the injunc-
ton was granted. First the passenger
rates and then the freight rates. But
nothing was stated in regard to the lat
ter. 1t has been suggested in a semi-ofii-
cial way that the Seaboard might run the
passenger fare down TO $40 for the round
trip Atlanta to Norfolk and return every
day in the week. This appears TO depend
on whether the other roads meet the cut
The announcement OF the 2-cent mile
rate for 1000 mile books is significant, as
It came yesterday, for the state railroad
commission of Georgia was to take up
yesterday the petition OF the Travellers
Protective Association for rate of 2 cents
mile. 1t was understood that the pas
senger officials were opposed to granting
the request on the ground that they could
not afford to do It. This action by the
Seaboard appears to be playing right into
the hands of the travelling men, and II
will hardly be relished by the other roads
of the south.

fifty of the Lutheran church of the AS
cension was held last night to arrange for
the bazaar TO be given for the benefit Of

other committees were appointed.
The special object of the bazaar Is to

Coffee, preferred by Joseph Brown, who
charged the policeman with attempting
to pull him out OF his buggy one night

The troubles OF Policeman Coffee ana
other members OF the force with Brown
and his brothers have already been aired
in the Morning News. There were sew
eral witnesses before the commission ana
the result was that the charges were dis
missed.
Policeman Speight was charged with
neglect of duty in falling TO answer the
summons OF a brother officers whistle,

the sound in another direction. No de-
cision was reached by the commission.

Mr.. Frederick Bryton will be seen for the
first time in Savannah. To one who has
not seen this charming drama a descrip-
ton could scarcely be anything but mis-
leading. 1t is known as a play of human
interest, it's characters, living, breathing
people. The story is intensely interesting
and abounds with humor and pathos. Mr..
Brytons character of John Diamond" is
admirably drawn, and represents a new
departure IN dramatic literature. "Forgiv-
en-" appeals to all classes of theatergoers.

FOUND HIM IN LIBERTY COUNTY.
The negro who Robbed MIR. :. r.
Quarterman's House Captured.


Peter Gould. the negro VINO is believed
to have carried OF the plumber stolen
from the house Of AR. s. =. Quarterman
on Brought0n street by his servant girl.
was landed by Detective Godbold yes
terday. Peter IS the girls brother-in-
law, and as soon as ii was learned that
he had left town suspicion pointed 10
him at once.
BY means OF letter received here from
Could. 10 was learned that he had gone
10 the home Of his parents in Liberty
county. Armed with the neces-
sary authority. Detective GOdbold went
10 Liberty county yesterday morning. He
went by rail TO Ways station. and from
there through the country about thirteen
miles toward the sea coast TO 4 place
called Sugar Hill, where Could parents
live.
The detective sent his negro aide ahead
first to find out II Gould was at home.
The Gould family was suspicious how
ever, and the mother declared that Peter
was In Savannah and had not been there
In over a month.
Detective Godbold then came up and
made the same inquiry. His appearance
created CONSERVATION in the Gould family.
The children acted like a covey of fright
ened partridges and the old grandmother,
oFSt - CARS "a age litilu4ca - III nci
chair that she was unable 10 speak. The
mother declared that she had not seen
Peter since payday before last" The
detective told her. however, that he
knew better, and proceeded to search the
place. He ran upon Peter ~ a corner
just as he was about to skip for the
woods. The man saw that resistance
was useless and submitted quietly.
The detective returned last night with
his prisoner and lodged him in the bar
racks. Gould would not talk about the
robbery and was as mum as an oyster on
the subject. His conduct since the rob-
berry and the efforts of his family to con-
ceal him leave no doubt Of his guilt. After
leaving here he was written by a friend
informing him that he was suspected Of
the robbery, and advising him If he was
not guilty to return at once. but that If
he were guilty to hide out. Peter hid out.

NOT MUCH BETTING YET.
The Game Is Too Young and the Re-
suit stu Too Far on.

There are mighty few election bets
around Savannah remarked we'll
known local sport Il think everybody's
waiting TO see what the gamblers are go
ing 70 do. or what's going 10 be done on
the other end Of the line.
Il heard man say the other day that
some other man had put up 500 on the
proposition that the Liberal Club would
elect two members OF the legislature from
this county. / had a man who wanted TO
take that bet and several more like IT,.
50 We went on a still hunt An investiga-
ton proved this SlOl bet a myth, and
dWlndled down TO a rumOr 10 the effect
that somebody had heard a man say ne
knew man who could secure such bet"
This is one side Of the local question. on
the other, there is the statement that
money is plentiful and wagers will be made
by Liberal Club members and sympathiz-
ers whenever they are wanted But II Is
early yet to stake anything on bare re-
suits, either locally or in the national
election. The trouble Is when a silver man
goes north and looks around he can't md
anything but silver people, and when the
gold man goes everything looks yellow.
Consequently when they both come back,
the unfortunate stay-at-hOme is no better
OF than he was before. It's no use study
ing old aimanacs this year; the bag Of
states has been shaken up and no two
would be drawn out, perhaps, just where
they were two, four or six years ago
There's usually a great deal of bluff
about the Savannah bettor; on the aver
age he can talk pretty big until he thinks
you are coming back al him, and then
there's a cooling Of ardor, and drop
in the thermometer Of material wealth. i
is likely, however, later in the season,
some pretty good bets will be made. Bet
ting becomes a little brisk in rresidel-
tial years, but from all appearances there
Is less money to be staked right now than
there has been in some time. One or two
bets have been made already. but not On
the general result Of the election. They
are mostly with regard to different states
or groups of states and as many of
them are in exceeding doubt that will BE
the field for wagers this year.
