nah and the War.

Rev. w. ID. Kings Inquiries of Snvan-
nah and the War.
In a letter, written al Tai-an-Tu, China,
May 10. and just received by his family in
Savannah, Rev. w. D. King, Baptist mis-
sionary to China, says that news of the
outbreak of the war between the United
States and Spain had just been received
there.
Mr. King had heard that Havana is
blockaded and that a prize vessel had
beeen captured by each side; that the
President had called for volunteers and
that the army was being sent to Southern
ports That was the extent of the news
that had reached Tai-an-Tu when Mr.
Kings letter was written. His mission
station is near Tsi-Nng-Cheo which is
a transfer station and all kilograms be-
tween Pekin. Tien Tsin or Cheefoo and
Shanghai pass through there. From the
telegraph operators the foreign residents
of the distant stations obtain what news
they get from the world at large.
Mr. King expressed much anxiety for
Savannah, and concluded that all COM
meree had stopped.
The people of China have had troubles
of their own, England, Russia, France
aud Germany have had their eyes on
China for some time and haven't taken
them off yet.
Mr. King writes that he is well and
that there is no end of mission work to
be done ATr. King has many friends in
Savannah who win be glad to hear of
hiss work. He left here, I'm 1880. and has
had many experiences in the Flowery
Kingdom.

JULIA GOES SCOTT FREE.
Result of an Argument Interrupted
by a Brick.

Julia Wilson, who if she were man
would be an ornament to the prize ring,
was tried in the General Sessions Court
yesterday afternoon for atrocious assault
and battery on Mary c. Connaughton, of
No. S15 Grand street. Mary is woman
OF generous proportions. The defendant
is employed IN doing chores in saloon
in Grand street.
On the night of July 81, Miss Connaugh-
ton and a lady fren' accompanied by two
gentlemen 'frens' called at the saloon,
and one of the men went inside to order
drinks, while the others waited for him in
the family entrance" When the man
took the drinks out the barkeeper gave
Julia wink to keep an eye on the
glasses. Julia proceeded to the family
entrance and put herself on guard The
party did not relish her presence and Miss
Connaughton told her So Julia was
determined to do her whole duty and
stood her ground.
The two ladies' expressed their opinion
of each other freely and forcibly, and
finally brick was injected into the argu-
ment 1t came in contact with Miss Con-
naughton's face and temporarily dam
aged her beauty. Miss Connaughton said
that Julia hit her with the brick Julia
insisted that she merely held the brick
in her hand and the other lady pushed
her face against it. The jury, convinced
that Julia was telling the truth, acquit-
ted
