IT HAS BEEN ARGUED.
Interest in the Motion to Quash the
Inquest in SmaIrs Case.

The argument has already been had be-
fore Just Falligant on the recent motion
made by Messrs. Charles N. West and
t. P. Ravenel to quash the coroner's in
quest in Abe SmalPs case and 1t is now
with the court to decide it. Messrs. West
ana RaVenel submitted a number of de-
clsionS and points of law bearing upon
the point made in the motion. though
cases Just like II are not easily found.
They contend that no one would want
70 see Small hanged while there is a
doubt resting in the minds of many as
70 whether it was really his bullet that
Killed Policeman Neve. That there is such
a. doubt. they. insist from the testimony
of experts with Winchester rifles. who
say that within such close range a bah
from SmalPs Winchester would certainly
nave gone entirely through Neve's body.
Inc BAN which killed him, however Is
lodged i'll his body, and it is desired 10
get at il to made certain. 1t is safe to
say the end of the case mas by no means
been reached, and * sentence is to be fin
ally executed upon Small, it will likely
be some months before a definite con-
clusion is reached.

PitiabIe Condition of "A LittIe Negro
Walt

The police have little negro girl n
the barracks, who was evidently thrown
out into the streets by heartless parents
TO find a home for herself.
The girl was found near the corner OF
Montgomery and Tenth streets yesterday
morning by a negro girl, who was going to
her work at a house near by, and who car
ried the waif 20 the home of Policeman
Connolly of the Ocean Steamship force at
Burroughs and Tenth streets.
The child was In pttiQble condition.
She appeared 20 be about 8 years old. and
had evidently been badly beaten. There
were several bruises on her head and body
and her face was covered with small cuts
She said her name was Chisholm. and
that her father worked at Thunderbolt.
This was all that could be learned, as she
was evidently afraid TO tell where her par
ents lived. She said her father had beaten
her with a strap the night before and
then put her out in the street. The marks
on her face might possibly have been
made by the buckle OF a strap. The child
said she had been in the street all night.
When fed by Mrs. Connolly she ate as II
famished
Mr.. Connolly took the girl 70 the police
barracks, and turned her over to Chief

find the father in order that he may be
punished for his inhuman treatment II

take proper care OF her the police will en-

coLoRED REGIMIsNT WILL NOT GO
Two Companies May Take in the
Inauguration.

Contrary to the hopes and expectations
the First Regiment of Infantry, coiored,
will not go to Washington next month to
attend the inaugural ceremonies 1t is pos
sible that two companies, the Colquitt
Blues ana the Lincoln Guards, may go, but
there is little expectation of any of the
other mkanies making tine trip. The two
companies win go in the event their new
equipments arrive in time.
The board of officers of the regiment dis
cussed the trip and it was decided to let
the companies decide for themselves
whether they will go. Provided none but
the Coiquitt Blues and the Lincoln Guards
go these companies will be under command
of their captains. If the two companies
should be increased, however, the colonel
of the regiment, J. H. DeveatX, win be
in command.
Col. Deveaux will attend the Inaugural
ton. He is member of the military
committee of Georgia which, among other
duties, reports to the chief marshal of the
Georgia commands in Washington.

Fire was discovered in the hay room in
the rear of Decker & Morgan's grocery

o'clock last night, and an alarm was
turned in from box No. 50 at the market
Smoke was pouring from every crack
in the building when the tremen arrived
shortly after The rear doors on the st.
Julian street side were burst open and
few streams of water soon eXtinguished
the flames there. Some time was spent
in searching the upper floor for any traces
of fire, but none were discovered. 1t had
been confined entirely to the hay room.
The heavy plastering of the ceiling. APP
peared to have prevented the flames from
passing through TO the upper floor.
The damage was small. There was
about a car load and a half of hay in the
rear room. the proprfetors stated, all of
water. There was very small stock of
groceries, chiefly canned goods, on the
ground floor of the building, which were
probably damaged by the smoke.

their books to a place of safety. They
stated that they wonld be unable TO give
a statement of the amount of insurance
damage until this morning. There was a
quantity of canned goods on the upper

the fire originated. The damage to the
building Is slight.
The department was again called out
at l2:10 o'clock by an alarm from box
No. IS, at West Broad and Broughton
streets. The blaze was of no moment,
being a burning mattress in one Of the
sleeping rooms at II. Traubs wagon yard.
There was no occupant of the room at the
time the fire was discovered. and its
CINE from headquarters quickly eXtin-
guished the blaze.
