Engineers Expected to Recommend
Abandonment of Breakwater.
Having completed its investigations as to
the work already done under Capt Carr
ter's plans what has been ACCOMPLISHED,
aud the work remaining to be done to com
plete his project for the Savannah river
and harbor improvements, the board of
army engineers. Majs. Sears, Bixby and
symons, left for the North last night
They carried with them volumnious notes
from which to prepare their report for the
war department.
None of the engineers would discuss the
probable outcome of their visit or express
any personal opinions for publication. At
the same time the impression has got
abroad, and is accepted by many as having
a good basis, that the engineers will re-
commend few, If any, changes In Capt
Cartere plans for the river, but that It
will advise that the big breakwater, one
of the most expensive features Of the pro-
ject, be abandoned.
Considerable work has been done on this
breakwater, but operations were suspend
ed by the Atlantic Contractin Company
about year ago and have never been re-
sumed. It is considered doubtful if the
breakwater Is ever finished.
1t Is thought that in a comparatively
few days orders win be issued from Wash
ington to the engineer in charge here,
Capt Gillette and that then work viii be
resumed on a larger scale than 1t has been
going on for some time.

KNOCKED DOWN WITH A BRICK.
VIII johnson struck While Trying
to Assault "a Woman.

Willie Johnson a colored youth, % years
old, chased Rosa Lee with an open razor
on West Boundary street yesterday, until
the woman ran into a house for safety.
There Johnson threatened to kill another
woman, but before he made the assault,
was slugged in the head with a brick and
rendered unconscious,
johnson and the Lee woman had a diff
fculty at No. 20 West Boundary street
during which the woman was bruised
about the head, and most of her clothing
torn off. She fed for her life when john
son got razor. Going as fast as possible
until she reached No. 81 farther up, occu-
pied by Ulysses Johnson, the woman
rushed in. She called on the Johnson wo-
man to save her life, as her assailant was
coming behind with a razor. She fell in
the floor, while the Johnson woman start
ed to close the door.
BY this time Johnson had reached the
house however, and, throwing his weight
against the door. forced il open. He was
told to stand back, but the request anger
ed him, and turning to the johnson wo-
man with the razor, he made a lunge at
her lie did not get in his work until she
had brick, which she let fly with much
force. 1t struck him in the head fractur-
ing the skull and causing him to drop like
a beef. DR.. Robert G. Norton was sum
moned, and, after an examination, did not
think Johnson would live
The fight was reported at the barracks,
where Il was understood the negro was
fatally wounded. The detectives were de-
tailed to the case, and on Investigation
found the facts about as stated. They ar
rested the johnson woman and sent her to
the barracks. There she told the same
plausible story of the way the assault was
committed, which showed she had not only
possibly saved her own life, but that of
the Grant woman as well. She stated she
was teacher in a West Broad street pri-
vate school.

LETTING RnApY To coMn HOME.
Guards VIII BE Mustered in for Pay
on Friday,

Capt. j. Ferris Cam. Company K of the
Second Georgia Regiment, is away from
his command on a short furlough. He
spent yesterday in the city, leaving in the
afternoon for Darien. He will return to-
day or tomorrow and will rejoin the regi-
ment Thursday
Capt. Cam says the men OF the Second
are very comfortably situated in Atlanta.
The exposition buildings, in which they
are camped, a battalion in building, are
comfortable and a great Improvement on
tents. There was nothing to do in the way
OF establishing camp and pitching tents.
The companies were glad to get out Of
that work, as experience has taught them
II Is no easy task
The regiment IS to be mustered in for
pay on Sept. 80. Capt. Cam says the ar
rangements for this will have been made
complete by that time, as 1t is particularly
desired that the men be paid off on Oct.
or as soon as possible thereafter. He says
they will leave Immediately after they are
paid off for the places at which they were
enrolled. Col Garrard, Capt. Cam says
has been trying to make arrangements to
allow the men who live on the line of the
Central above here to stop off on their way
down, so as to avoid the extra expense
to which they will be put if they have to
come here first and then go back TO their
homes.
The orders received by Col. Brown rel
alive to furloughs nstructs that they be
given the men at the places of enrolment
If this is rigidly adhered to, the Savannah
battalion of Guards under Col. Garrard
will get here with fuN ranks The desired
change, by which the men may get their
furloughs In Atlanta may be brought
about, in which event there will not be so
many to come back. Many country mem
bers of the command will leave the train
at points above.
Capt Cam says the Guards might have
been had here for the time they will spend
in Atlanta for the mere asking by some of
the citizens. He said it could easily have
been managed; that all that was necessary
was for an invitation and offer of camp
site to have been sent Col. GarraTd. Capt
Cam and many others of the battalion
would have been glad to have spent the
time until they are paid off at Savannah.

OUTLOOK is QUITE SATISFACTORY
Some Lively Races But Prospects All
Favor the Dcmncrnts NNinntn

Some Lively Races But Prospects All
Favor the Democrats winning.
w. w. Sheppard, Esq, has returned from
trip to several counties in the neighbor-
hood of Chatham, At one or two points
he made speeches In the interest Of Demo-
cratic candidates, and elsewhere he inves-
tigated the prevailing political conditions
TattnaI county, he found, is having one
of the most interesting struggles i'm its re-
cent history. Joseph p Collins, formerly
Democratic incumbent of the office Of
clerk of the Superior Court having failed
to secure a denomination at the hands of
the Democrats, has accepted one from the
Populists, and is making a strong fight
against David Padgett, the Democratic
candidate
While the Democrats believe they will
land their man by substantial majority,
they have been awakened to the necessity
of working hard, and a full vote win be
polled as a result. There is a registration
in Tattnall this year. It is said of over
5000. or nearly as much as in Chatham
county.
There are three candidates for the leg
islature, w. r. Hendrix, Democrat; Rev.
c. S. T. Strickland, Populist, and Col.
Isaiah Beasley, Republican. It is rumor-
ed that an agreement has been reached by
which the vote of the Popullsts is 10 be
thrown as much as possible to Beasley
on election day, Strickland remaining in
the race to hold such Populist votes as
cannot be cast to the Republican candi-
date If this Is true, IL will make the night
a close and interesting one, but with the
chances in favor of the Democrat win
ming.
Over in Bulloch county Mr.. Sheppard
found the outlook good for a brilliant Dem
ocratic victory. Here the Democratic can
didate for the legislature is Hiram Frank
lin. He is opposed by J. j. Williams,
Populist. A brother of the Democra tic
candidate for the House is running on the
Populist ticket for the Senate against j.
A. Brannen the well-known Statesboro
lawyer, who made such an excellent rep
utation in the last legislature in connec-
ton with the convict bill and other meas
ures of Importance. The outlook is that
Mr.. Brannen will adorn the upper house
at the coming session.
Mr.. Sheppard talked with parties from
Screven and other counties, and regards
the outlook in that section of the First
district as on the whole satisfactory.

MACHINE WAGON DEMOLISHED.
Horse Became Frightened and Made

Horse Became Frightened and Made
wild Dash on BrOughton Street.
A horse attached to New Home sewing
machine wagon made wild dash on
Broughton street yesterday morning,
frightened by an electric car sprinkler,
and ran wildly until thrown to the ground
by striking a post near Krouskoffs millin-
airy store.
The agent in charge left the horse stand
ing in front of store near Bull and
Broughton streets. There was no trouble
until the electric car sprinkler came along,
splashing water in the street, and 1t was
this that started the horse. Like a flash
he started down the street, but fortunately
did not run into any other vehicles. There
was another wagon standing near Krous-
koff's, and apparently In order TO get
around this, the horse attempted to dash
on the sidewalk. He missed the mark, how
ever, and instead of continuing, the buggy
caught on the post, which threw the ami
NAL a somersault
BY this time Policemen Tullis and Um-
bach were on the scene, took charge of the
outfit and endeavored to assist the agent
in getting the fragments of a sewing ma
chine together, which had been smashed
with the buggy.
1t was fortunate the horse struck the
post, as there were many people on the
sidewalk farther down, some of whom
would not have been able to clear the way
In time to save themselves.

1t was stated at the barracks that Jones
made some remark about a boarder, who
is related to Davis. The latter took ex-
ceptions to the reelection, and went
a notch better by saying some of
Jones' folks were not faultless.
Then the two mixed, the first blow being
struck by Jones, who let Davis have the
full benefit of a club, or some other OBJ
ject. A deep cash was cut in Davis fore
head. BY this time he had gun, and fired
quickly at Jones. who was wounded in the
hand. The peace of the house was pretty
well broken by this time, and all rushed
to the room to see what had happened.
The two were soon separated and a physi-
clan was summoned to attend the wound
ed man.
Detective Shea was at the house shortly
after the shooting occurred and placed

Purdy join Hands sor Life.
President P. ]. Berckmans of the Geor-
gia State Horticultural Society was mar
ried in New York yesterday to Mrs. E.
F. Purdy. The news was received by DR..
j. C. LeHardy, who has been a close
friend of Mr.. Berckmans for years.
The marriage is the contamination of
an acquaintance formed about a year ago
when Mr.. Berckmans and his bride met
while he was on a visit to relatives in
New York The warmth of their friend
ship was kindled by an extended CORE
spondence, and about two months ago
they decided to marry.
Mrs. Purdy is a lady of high intellectual
attainment, having been editor of a we'll
known fashion paper for quite a time.
She possesses the traits of true womanlI-
ness, has a sweet disposition, and has the
faculty of making herself pleasantly
agreeable to those whom she meets.
Mr.. BerckmanS needs no Introduction
in Georgia, where he is known by most
everybody, especially in the agricultural
sections, to the advancement of which he
he devoted much time and attention Be-
ing considered one of the leading pomol-
ogists in the United States Mr.. Berck-
mans has distinguished himself for the
valuable researches he has made, and
some of which have been reduced to book
form. He has always taken prominent
hand in all matters pertaining to horti-
culture in Georgia, and it is to him the
peach growing sections owe much for the
information he has given on the preserva-
ton of trees. He owns a large nursery
at Fruitland, a small place near Augusta,
where he and his wife viii reside.
II is likely Mr. and Mrs. Berckmans will
come from New York by steamer. and
may be the guests of DR.. LeHardy a few
days. They will then proceed to their
home.

wrongs he had suffered at tae hands of his former master. To prevent such a state of anarchy in politics and society, but more particularly to protect the womaphood of the South, the negro vote had to be suppressed. The South has 70 apology tc offer for the act, and patiently bears the legitimate re- suits of it. The sacredness of the ballot box once violated it is hard to say where the results will end. When q common enemy no longer confronts us the same methods are frequently practiced in our own household. Scarcely do we have a primary without a charge of fraud from the defeated side, and sorry to say, many times there exists cause for complaint.
 Often it is necessary to amputate limb to save the patients life, but he will limp for the rest of his days. A dose Of medicine may save life but the bitter tastes remain. So in politics it becomes expedient or necessary to control an element dangerous to the country, but if in so doing the least principle of moral or political ethics be violated, the day of reckoning is inevitable. We sowed the seeds from 1865 to 1875 in controlling the negro vote, and we are reaping the harvest now in dis sentions and divisions ID our own household. Justice as well as God is not moeked, flor whatsoever a man SOW eth, that shall he also reap.
