NO CHANGES IN THE OFFICE.
Capt. Carriers Successor Announces
No Intention of Making Amy.

Capt. Carriers Successor Announces
No Intention of Making Amy.
Capt. Cassius Gillette, who is to assume
charge of the Office in Savannah formerly
held by Capt. o. N. Carter. is expected
TO arrive in Savannah this week
No changes in the personnel of the office
force have as yet been announced, and It
is probable that the same men who We're
associated with Capt. Carter in the gov
eminent work along the Georgia coast
will remain in their respective positions.
Capt carter and Capt. Gillette will wind
up the affairs of the office for the term
of the former, and get matters in shape for
the latter during the conference they are
now holding in Washington. The business
of the office, as is customary with cap
tains of the engineering corps. has been
kept in such shape as makes 1t safe and
easy for any change at any time, and
there win be but little need of straighten-
ing up affairs, save only in so far as it
might be necessary to familiarize the new
incumbent with the work that has been
done and that which is yet to be done.
The chief work which has held the at
tenton of Capt Carter has been the main
tenance of a system of jetty work and
natural dredging of the channel of navi-
CATION between Savannah and the en-
trance to the river at Tybee, and also the
new fortihcations now i'm course of con-
struction on the northern end of Tybee
Island.
This work will continue to hold the at
tention of the engineering corps under the
direction of Capt. Gillette.

TROUBLE WITH MEXICAN MAN.
Annie Chung Chau's Charges Against
Joe Mays.


Annie Chung Chan, the wife of a Chi
nese laundryman on Broughton street. has
been getting into trouble with a "Mellican
man." and is now under bond to keep the
peace. Annie got in her work before the
"Mellican man." Joe Mays by name, swore
out his peace warrant before Justice Wick
ham. for she had already been before
Justice REYNOLDS and had issued a war
rant charging him with assault and bat
terry and another charging him with a
breach of the peace.
These little troubles cost Mays money
and Inconvenience. The thought OF both
spent on the female celestial ranked in his
bosom, and he sought the magistrate, bent
on retaliation.
1t all grew out OF Mays passing the
"washee-washee" place OF Bob Chung
Chan and his wife one night last week
Exactly what the trouble was Is not
known, as the stories Of the principals
are conflicting Annie said Mays was
drunk and hit her In the mouth; Mays
said he didn't do anything OF the kind.
that he only wiped his hand across her
mouth and that she cursed him in a choice
selection OF Characterization profanity.
The Chung chan woman's chief griev-
ance seemed 10 be that her olfactory
senses were highly offended by the pres
ence OF something on Mays hand that
did not smell like peaches.

A COLORED STABBING.
Sadie Reynolds Receives Six Knife
Wounds in Her Body.

At a disreputable colored dance in
the west part of North Topeka held
Saturday night, Sadie Reynolds, no
torious colored woman, received six
knife wounds in her body at the hands
of a colored man named John Drane.
The fight occurred about o'clock Sun
day morning. Most of the participants
in the dance were intoxicated and
general trough house" was started.
Drane and the Reynolds woman had
quarreled and when the fight started,
Drane made at the woman with a knife
and slashed her several times. He made
an effort to strike her in a vital place
but was prevented from killing her by
her companions. Another colored wo
man named Mary Oldham, who took
part in the fight was arrested, as was
also John Drane. The charge against
each was assault with intent to kill"
The Reynolds woman was taken to
police station where City Physician
Mitchell dressed her wounds. There
was a deep cut across her breast, three
on her abdomen, and two on her back.
DIR. Mitchell sewed up the wounds
and the woman was taken to her home.
Her condition is not dangerous, but the
wounds are serious. Unless blood pOis-
oning should set in she will recover.
John Drane and Mary Oldham will be
turned over to the state for trial.

WHITE REPUBLICANS MAD.
President Mckinley in Appoint
ing Negroes to Office.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. AT a meeting
of the Republican executive committee
of Pickens county, held at Jasper Sat
urday, resolutions were adopted de-
nourcing the policy of the present adj
ministration toward negro Republicans,
and declaring that the white members
of the party in the Ninth congressional
district would not stand being discrin-
mated against in favor of negroes.
The meeting was heated and senSa-
tionRI, and the passing of resolutions
denouncing the administration outright
was only narrowly averted. The Ninth
district contains the bulk of the white
Republicans in Georgia, and their in
dignatiOn has been aroused by the ap-
pOintment of Henry Rucker as col
lector of internal revenue.
