days, was q defendant in Justice Nathan's
court yesterday in a suit by Frank Jack
son, eolored, who claims damage for
large amount of clothing he says the bear
tore off of him at Cleburne and Ran
dolph streets.
Attachment papers were served on the
owner, Jocco, by Constable Brown, and
Frank was taken into court.
Jackson was in a crowd taking in the
bear performance. He had been drinking
and after looking on awhile, thought it
would not be improper to add 10 take a
hand in the show himself. Jackson want
ed TO wrestle the bear. He was told to
stand back, but instead he pulled off
his hat and would listen to nothing ex-
cept a tussle. The first round settled tbe
business. Frank made a pass at Jack
son, removing about everything he had on
except his shoes. His coat shirt and
breeches were badly torn and several
large scratches on Jackson's body told of
the vciousness of bruins swpe
After getting over his scare jackson

to perform. When the owner said he had
no money, the constable was directed TO
take the bear to the nearest stable. to be
held until next court day, If the amount

Brunswick Ga, Nov. 29.-Wilh the mys-
FERROUS power of a hypnotist the strange
preacher of holiness" doctrines in his
tent at the six-mile crossing continues to
work communicates into frenzies of re-
Hgious excitement. To this strange re-
ugion now being expounded is charged
the death of young William Hickman,
mentioned in these dispatches as having
died in a religious trance several days
ago. On Sunday a party of Brunswick
ians, including newspaper men, visited the
holiness preachers tent. Around the
grove in which il is located were htched
over 100 vehicles
The all-day Sunday service was at its
hight. Standing before rude altar near
the far side of the tent a keen-faced man
was speaking in sharp-toned words the
truths of the Bible. Suddenly. from near
the altar, a woman gave vent to
weird, unearthly laugh. In
quick response came echoes from
every side. Then, like a pent-up
torrent the religious frenzy of the day
burst forth in all its earnestness. Men
laughed and laughed, women cried and
laughed, children tore their handkerchiefs
10 shreds, humans beat humans on the
back and fell PROSTATE shouting GLORY to
God" in the highest tones possible.
During the din these religious crazei>
people were making, a woman, one of two
of the preachers female travelling com
panions and assistants stepped to the or
gan and began playing. A pause ensued
momentarily, but almost Immediately
again the holy laugh" resounded
and was caught up and repeated in one
wild, mad refrain.
on the pine covered ground lay PROSTATE
many people digging their hands in the
soft earth and singing GLORY to God" I'M

stiff and cold, This they called the re-
ligious rigor and 1T is alleged that in a
similar one young Hickman ded an
forty-eight hours Inconsistencies.
At this juncture the preacher let fall his
Bible and grasping his hat began taking
up collection. Contributions of all de-
scripuons poured in. Jewalry was
discarded and emptied into his hat, pock-
etbooks were turned wrong side out, coats
and vests were thrown on the altar, while
their former owners unmindful of the
shiyerng cold, stood with swaying bodies,
laughing and shouting glory to God
This was their one refrain, and when the
| Brunswick party left for home, the few
enthusiasts, whose voices still held out,
were laughing and shouting with all the

| truly the most remarkable religious de
monstration ever witnessed in a civilized

M1NIrREE FoLkEs Convicted.
The Committee Finds Him Guilty of |
False Swearing.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 29.-Lee Camp,
Sons of Confederate Veterans met to-
night as a court-martial in the case of
Minitree Folkes, whose expulsion from
the camp was recommended by the COM
mittee that Investigated the charges
against him in connection with the his
tory committee and the Massey resolu-
tions.
1t will be remembered that this recon-
mendation was not acted upon at the time
because 1t was found that the case could
only be reached by a. court martial, and
a committee was appointed to review the
evidence and report to such a court. This
committee reported Tonight 1t found Mr.
Follxes not guilty of receiving bride Of
$50. and not guilty of false swearing as
to giving the Massey resolutions to a
newspaper reporter. but guilty of conduct
unbeeoming a gentleman in giving the res
olutions to a newspaper reporter; of pro-
curing his appointment on the history
committee, and of false swearing relative
to the interview at Massey's boarding
house
The court dissented from the report on
false swearing, as to giving the resolutions
to a reporter and assented to the other
four findings; that is, finding the accused
guilty on all the charges except that OF
receiving a bride.
The verdict of the court as that Mr.
Folkes be reduced from the commander
ship of the camp to the ranks, be repri-
manded and be suspended from member
ship for eighteen MONTHS.
Judge Bergman Green of Dan
vile, who was chosen to serve
on the committee to investigate
the charges of improper conduct against
certain members of the history committee
of the Grand Camp of Confederate Vet
Grams, these charges being that they were
in the service of the American Book Com
Dany, has accepted.

American boxer, defeated Jimmy Curran,

Later in the evening, Ben Jordan, the

The betting favored White. He is taller
than his opponent, and appeared to be
cleverer, scoring more rapidly in the early
rounds. Jordan, however, never wasted a
blow, and always left the marks of his
handiwork. He did plenty of execution
with both hands, and at close quarters he
weakened White, who was much distress

second, Barry, gave in for him.
In the Sullivan-Curran bout the latter
maintained good lead for the first dozen

Lawrence Harmon and Attorney Max
Rese,, Attorney Phelan having withdrawn
from the case yesterday afternoon after a
heated interview with Luetgert and the
new lawyers The court room was pack
ed with spectators when the court was
called to order. Most of the session was
taken up by Mr. Harmon in arguing that
Judge Gary should not try Luetgert on
the ground that he was not qualified to
sit as criminal judge. Judge Gary over
ruled the motion Of the defense, intimat-
ing, however, that he was willing that
some other judge should sit in the case
provided that counsel for the defense
would come to an agreement with the
prosecution as to who should hear it. At
torneys Harmon and Riese held a consul
tation this afternoon with States Attor-
ney Dineen with the object of deciding on
some other judge to hear the cause
When court reconVened at 2 %. m. the
attorneys for the defense announced that
they had been unable to reach an agree
ment as TO judge to hear the case in
their consultation with States ATTORNEY
Dmeen. Judge Harmon, however. ex-
tended exceptions to Judge Garys over
ruling of his motion
Attorney Harmon made a motion for a
continuance of four weeks stating that
both he and Attorney REESE were not pre-
pared to go on, and wished time to read
the records of the former trial. This was
overruled after some discussion. An ex-
animation of the talesmen was then COM
menced 1t was late in the afternoon
when the task of securing a jury was en-
tered upon, but by the time the 1urt ad-
journed only two jurors had been accept

MAY MOVE TO MEXICO.
ChOctavy and Chickasaw Indians An
xious to sell Out.

Muskogee, l. T., Nov. 29.-The Choctaw
and Chickasaw Indians, who have been in
session at Antlers, l. T., for the past week
have determined to organize a colony and
emigrate to Mexico. IL is understood that
the Mexican government will sell them
large tracts of land very cheap. United
States Indian Agent Wisdom of this place
was selected as the Moses to lead them
and they have written to him to know if
he would accept Agent Wisdom states
that the Indians propose to sell their lands
in this country to the United States and
with the proceeds purchase homes in Mex
leo. Under the treaties, said Agent Wis
dom, they could not sell to any other party
or parties. He saw no reason why they
could not sell out the lands of the five
tribes just as the Cherokees sold the
Cherokee outlet. In fact. said he, the
Dawes commission is used to negotiate for
the Indian country.

AN EARTHQUAKE BALANCE.
Instrument Invented to Give Fore
winning of Shocks.


City of Mexico, Nov. 29.-Francisco Es-
TRADE, professor of natural science in this
city, has invented what he calls an cleo
tro-magnetic geological balance designed
TO foretell earthquakes and the slightest
disturbance of the earth's crust. 1t con-
sists of several delicate magnetized rods
ingeniOusly connected with a recording
mechanism Of great delicacy. BY it's aid
subterranean currents of electricity can
be detected and the slightest vibrations
The apparatus will be of great use in aid
ing scientific study of seismic phenomena
in disturbed regions in Guerrero and other
remote states where earthquakes have
been frequent of late.
In one place in Guerrero missionaries
sent out by the Archbishop Of Mexico re-
late that there is a very perceptible mo-
ton of the earth's crust every hour, and
sometimes oftener, and that during the
quakes, liquids are thrown out of cups
and bowls.
Frost fell in various elevated regions of
the republic last night.
