DIDN'T HAVE SUPPER READY.
SO George Hammock Cuts His Own
and His Wife's Throat.

George Hammock, colored, who cut his
wife's throat with a razor at their home
in Jones street lane night before last. and
then cut his own throat, is still alive at
the Georgia Infrmary, and the woman
was reported to be probably out of danger.
OF the two. the woman is In worse con-
clifton. having received many other cuts
beside the one across the throat.
The reason for the assault is understood
to be from domestic misunderstanding.
Hammock seems TO have gone home and
found that no supper had been prepared
on account of his wife not reaching there
until late hour. He demonstrated and
she refused to prepare supper, and went
to her room. Hammock entered shortly
afterward and assaulted her with the
razor, slashing her first across the throat
and then on the arms and body. Presum-
ing she would die, he went to an upstairs
room and 'did likewise unto himself" He
failed, however, to give himself as many
slashes as he had given his wife, the re-
suit of which is he is more likely TO re
cover.
The police have requested the infirmary
officers to keep the department informed
of the condition of Hammock, as he is
wanted for assault with intent to murder
when able to appear in court

CITY BREVITIES.

The annual meeting of Georgia Chapter,
No. 8, Royal Arch Masons, will be held to-
night An election of officers for the en-
suing year will be held.
Mr.. w. E. Grady has returned from
Boston, where he received the appoint
ment as general agent for Georgia of the
New England Mutual Life Insurance
Company. This company will be ready for
business throughout the state Jan. l.
Chief McDermott received word from
Johns Island, S. c., yesterday, stating
that Mosley Brisbane colored, at whose
instance Emiline Whale was arrested on
the charge of larceny, would arrive this
morning. Nothing is yet known about
what has been stolen by the woman in
custody.
The bursting of a steam pipe in the boil
er at the Bolton street power house, caused
a shut down of the car lines between and
o clock yesterday morning. The cars
came to a standstill all over the city. Peo-
pie We're just coming down town to bust
ness; the cars were crowded with school
children, and early morning shoppers, and
there was no end of grumbling.
A ladys gold watch was found by Po-
liceman Jernigan in the vestbule of the
Independent Presbyterian church last
night Just after the Hodge Mills bridal
party entered. The chain was broken,
caused probably by brushing against peo-
pie in passing in the church, The officer
turned the watch over to the sergeant at
the police barracks, where it can be OBJ
tanned by the owner.
Sergeant Davis of the police force, who
was injured some time ago in a bicycle
fall on New Houston street, is able to walk
around his home on crutches, but will not
be able to report for duty soon. His in
juries were not at first thought to be
serious and his long confinement is re-
GREETED by many friends. In the fall
his foot was twisted by some means and
the present trouble is understood to be
cat sed from a soreness of the muscles.
A considerable lot of cloth was found in
a pawn shop by Detective Shea yesterday,
said to have been stolen from the South
ern Pants Company on Congress street Y.
Fernandez, a former employee of the place,
was arrested on the charge of taking the
cloth, and was lodged in the police bar
racks. The man is native of Cuba and
30 years of age. 1t was found by Detec-
tive Shea that several rolls of cloth had
been pawned, which were readily identi-
fled as belonging to the company.
Health Officer LeHardy has just receiv-
ed a supply of fresh vaccine matter, which
he has at his office on the third floor of the
city exchange for free distribution. Any
body who calls can get a supply, and Dr.
LeHardy states that whenever he has time
he will perform vaccinations himself free
of charge. Although smallpox has not
appeared in Savannah, there is a great
deal of it in the upper portion of the state
and it is hardly to be doubted that 1t will
reach Savannah sooner or later.

NOT TO STOP AT QUARANTINE.
Sailing Vessels Put on the Same
Footing as Steamers.

Sailing Vessels Put on the Same
Footing as Steamers.
AT the meeting of the sanitary board yes
terday afternoon petition was read from
the masters, owners and agents of coast
wise sailing vessels, plying between this
port and ports north of Hatteras.
The petition requested that such vessels
be relieved from the requirement of stop
ping at the quarantine station on the in
ward voyage and that they be allowed the
same privilege as vessels of the coastwise
steamship lines, which are allowed to come
to the city direct from stopping at the sta
ton.
The board considered the petition and
regarding the request as reasonable, grant
ed it. Coastwise sailing vessels coming
from ports north of Hatteras will now
be allowed to enter the port without be-
ing required to stop at the quarantine, the
masters of such vessels being placed upon
honor not to pass the station when they
have any case of sickness on board, he
ing required in such cases to stop at the
station and notify the quarantine Off
Ger. The removal of this requirement will
prove a great convenience to the coast
wise sailing trade. The petition was pre-
scented to the board by c. w. Howard &
Co

AUGUSTUS CITY COUNCIL.
New Office Created-City to Issue
100000 of Bonds.

Augusta Ca, Dec. 14-At the meeting
of the city council tonight an ordinance
was adopted creating a new city officer,
the commissioner of public works. The
general election for all city officers for the
next three years, win occur on Jan. s, and
the new Office will be filled then. Its neces-
sity has been created by the big water
works improvement that Augusta is just
embarking upon.
At to-night's meeting an ordinance was
also introduced for the issue of 100000 of
city of Augusta bonds to redeem outstand-
ing seven per cent. bonds that mature on
March /. That issue of bonds, twenty-five
years ago paid seven per cent interest An
idea of the high credit Augusta now en-
Joys may be gathered from the fact that
Chairman Phinizy stated tonight he had
already received an offer from a broker to
take the whole issue at par, bearing 3I5
per cent. interest, provided he was award
ed them at once The matter was referred
to the mayor and finance committee for
considera ton. Augusta has already floated
a bond at Az per cent, but 3ia per cent.
would be a record breaker.

RESERVES WANT THEIR sHA&E.
Lieut.. COlding's Petition to the City
Council.


Council.
A communication from Lieut.. II. S. Cold
ing, commanding the first division of the
Savannah naval reserves. will be read be-
fore the city council tonight, making a re-
quest that the naval reserves be included
in the police reserve appropriation for the
benefit of the milltary-for 1898. The dis
cussion because of the omission of the nav
al reserves from this appropriation by the
last councilHisvwell remembered.
All the military men of the city are in
terested in this matter as it is understood
to be doubtful whether council viii make
such an appropriation for 1888 that made
by the last council for this purpose having
been an innovation. If the influence of
the military men is worth anything, how
ever, and Il is believed TO be considera ole,
the appropriation will be secured. If coun-
Gil chooses to include the naval reserves
the military men will have ne objection
so they get the appropriation.

CouIdn,t Turn Over the Cnrh.

A warrant was issued by Justice Ma
thans yesterday charging S. McTeer, col
ored, with larceny after trust. The man
was employed by John H. Fields, also col
ored, to run a fruit stand at Bolton and
Gwinnett streets. 1t is alleged that Nc
Teer collected considerable money on sales
which he could not turn over to the pro-
prietor when called upon. On discovering
this Fields had his clerk arrested when
arraigned McTeer was unable to give bond
for his appearance at the city court and
therefore committed.
