PINCHED BY HUNGER,S PANGS.
Edward Griffin, Ex-ShOwman, Order
ed Breakfast with a Razor.


The pangs Of hunger pinched Edward
Griffin so hard yesterday that he made
bold assault at house In the Eighth
district and demanded that special break
fast be prepared for his benefit Fooled in
his audacious attempt, he made an effort
TO escape, but was captured about 500
yards from the house by neighbors, and,
after struggle, was subdued and brought
to the city.
Grimm is q years old, and claims to
have been an attache of the dog md pony
show up to a few days ago. Leaving the
show, however, Griffin headed for Charles
ton, via the crosstie route, over the
Charleston and Savannah road. Reaching
the house of Sarah GarvIn, colored. four
miles from the city, on the Louisville
road, he entered and asked for food
Il will give you breakfast" the woman
said, iii you will chop that wood in the
yard"
This Griffin agreed to do, and at once
set to work. He soon stopped, however,
and ordered his breakfast fixed, and that
quickly. When the woman refused Crit
fin pulled a razor from his pocket, and
started for her. She received a slight
slash when running from the house, but
managed to make her way to the road,
where her screams alarmed the neighbors.
Charles Phifer, colored, who lives near
by, was at dinnSr, but ran out to learn the
cause of the alarm. Griffin was still pur-
suing the woman. On seeing Phifer how
ever, he turned and ran in the direction
of the Charleston and Savannah water
tank. Constable Alex Gilliard of the
Eighth district Joined Phifer in the chase.
The men reported that they had desper-
ate struggle to subdue Griffin. He was
bound with a rope and led to Justice
Wickham's Office. While warrants were
being issued Griffin made a lunge for
liberty and failing to release himself from
the rope manicles, shouted: "Pn go to
jail if you'll just give me a chance at that
nigger!' pointing to Phifer
Justice Wickham ordered the man hand
cuffed. He is a wicked looking customer
and was turned over to the city court and
committed to Jail.

TO IMPROVE LAUREL GROVE.
Park and Tree Commission to Pu
Down Drainage.

Park and Tree Commission to Put
Down Drainage.
The park and tree commission will ,hort-
" advertise for bids for draining tie por-
ton of Laurel Grove cemetery used for
the burial of whites. Plans for the work
have been prepared by the city Engineer.
While the work is of considerable import
ance, 1t is not thought the cost will be
large. The result of the work viii be to
make available a large portion OF the GEM
efery which is now too wet u be used
COR burial purposes.
when seen in reference to The matter
Yesterday Chairman Stone of the commits
eion said: THE drainage work is very
important. The area of land which will
be made available by 1t is about eight
acres, or 500 lots, which can. be reclaimed
at a comparatively small expenditure. BY
long this work enough lots will be made
available to permit of the use o, the Gem
etery for fifteen years to come. This, /
think, is a great deal better tLan for the
city TO go to the expense of establishing
a new cemetery"
Dr. Stone was asked If he did not think
it desirable to discontinue the sale of lots
in Laurel Grove cemetery and conflne the
interments there to those having unused
lots.
Il do not think there is any danger in
continuing intermentS in Laurel Grove"
he replied. THE cemetery is on the edge
of the city and the rate of interment is
slow, consequently the amount of animal
matter is small"
The condition of affairs in the colored
portion of Laurel Grove cemetery is even
worse than in the white portion.
The plan of drainage should be
extended to the colored portion of Laurel
Grove" DR.. Stone said. 1.-The conditions
there are very bad, so much so that in
some portions of the cemetery interments
are actually made in the water and in the
pauper portion it has been found necessary
to hold down the collins with spades while
the graves were being filed Proper drain
age will remedy these conditions. There
is no reason why every portion of the col
ored cemetery should not be reclaimed by
drainage"
Such being the condition of affairs there
would seem to be every reason for an ex-
ira effort on the part of the city authori-
ties and the park and tree commission to
properly drain every portion of the ceme-
terry.

Joe COe Turns in 100 COppers to

Joe Goes settlement of SIT damages and
costs against him in Justice Nathans'
court was rather peculiar, because the
money consisted of LOO pennies. This is
readily accounted for by the fact that Joe
IS the fellow who makes the bear dance"
When the bear was first attached, the
