TWO MEN BADLY HURT.
And Two Arrests Made for Murder
Gus Assault.


As the result of a row at Jones and
West Broad streets, at 8 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, John Hodges is laid up at his
home on Sims street and Irwin johnson is
lying in jail with deep and ugly cash
across the muscles of his right arm. Ed
ward WEIGH is also confined at the station
house, charged with assault with intent
TO murder johnson. Johnson is charged
with attempting to kill Hodges. Welch and
Hodges are white, while johnson is a ne
gro.
From the best obtainable accounts of the
somewhat tangled affair WEIGH, Hodges
and young man named Richard Allen
were standing at the corner of Jones and
West Broad streets just before the diff
Guilty commenced.
Hodges had been drinking and pulling
his money from his pocket threw it on the
ground, with the statement tRat so little
was of no use TO him. The money rolled
in every direction and johnson. who was
standing near and who had also been
drinking, remarked that If he had a quar-
ter he could get another pint of whisky
and started to pick up some of the money
from the ground.
A quarrel began and the negro went out
into the street and picked up two or three
half bricks. While he had these i'm his
hands WEIGH struck at him with a banjo
ne had been carrying along the street
The accounts differ as to whether or not
this blow took effect. Johnson saying that
it did and the friends of WEIGH that it did
not. Al any rate johnson commenced to
throw his bricks and the second missile
struck Hodges in the forehead, telling him
TO the ground. Allen caught Hodges In
his arms and Welch started in pursuit of

ed him by the shoulder and inflicted an
ugly cash with a razor across the mus
ces of his right arm. While the wound is
not serious il bled profusely and when
johnson was seen at the station house
the blood was still dripping into bucket
placed under his wounded arm.
Hodges is probably more seriously hurt
For long time he was unconscious. and
the brick with which he was struck made
a long cut across his forehead In which
seven stitches had 20 be taken. DR.. Cor
bin was summoned TO attend the man and
gave him the attention necessary to one

seriousness, but is still very weak. and
scarcely in a condition to talk. Indeed
he was so drunk at the time the difficulty
occurred that he knows little or nothing
about it.

SNEAK THIEF CAPTURED.
Detectives Arrested Fanny Billiard
for Larceny From Col. Dixon.


for Larceny From Col. Dixon.
The police detectives captured at her
home on Price street. near Huntingdon. last
night, a sneak thief of surprising industry
and varied accomplishments. Her name is
Fanny Ballard. For eight months she pill
fered from Col. NJ. W. Dixon, in whose
family she mad been employed. everything
from groceries to clothing and jewelry.
Fanny left Col Dixons service about
three weeks ago and, so completely had
she pulled The wool over his eyes. that she
left 1t voluntarily. Soon afterwards the
warm weather caused the colonel TO begin
a search for thinner clothes, but the search
was attended with most Indifferent sue
cess. The summer apparel and some of
warmer texture, including the trousers be-
longing to the uniform in which Col Dix
on, as a member Of the Governors staff,
is accustomed to dazzle and delight behold
ers, had vanished and was not to be found.
The detectives and Mrs. Dixon went to
Fanny's house yesterday and accused her
of the theft of a certain silver belt-buckle
which had disappeared and which Mrs.
Dixon very greatly priced Fanny waxed
indignant in her denials. but when a pearl
hat pin was discovered by Mrs. Dixon and
recognized as her property, Fanny wilted
and acknowledged that few articles to
which she had never acquired a legal title
might possibly be found about the house.
They were found in large numbers Valua-
bic china, wedding presents to Col. and
Mrs. Dixon, little articles of jewelry,
dresses of all descriptions. table and bed
linen were among the pfunder found in the
wOmans house. A bureau was filled with
articles that must have been
stolen from people of wealth
and refinement Much that Mrs Dixon
could not positively identify she felt con-
WINGED was her property and of that she
could identify more than an armful was
taken away None of the suits and parts
OF suits that Col Dixon had lost were
found, and Fanny could not be induced to
confess any knowledge of their where
abouts.
When she was taken to the stationhouse
she remembered that one suit of clothes
had been borrowed by her and pawned.
She had intended to take ID out, she said
and return il, but the outlay necessary to
dress her properly had taken all of her
money and she had never redeemed the
pledge. In the mean time she had destroyed
the ticket. Her recollection last night
could not assist in the recovery of the rest
of Col DiXon's wardrobe, but the detec-
lives hope that night in the stationhouse
will to some extent refresh her memory
When asked how much he had lost bv
Fanny's peculations Col. Dixon answered
that he was ashamed to say. His losses
certainly foot up several hundred dollars

The Prospects Are the Health Office
VIII Get Another Room.

When Health Officer LeHardy returns
to the city exchange the chances are he
will be given an Office on one of the lower
floors. For some time this change has been
desired. as climbing the flight of stairs
to the present Office taxes the strength
of the strongest.

been referred to the committee on city
lots, which has charge of public buildings

drainage engineers may be turned over
to the department. There is ample room
for the health department in the office oc-
cupied by the engineers.
one reason the committee will doubtless
consider in favor of a change is that the
engineers are on the streets most of the
time, during which the Office is unoccu-
pied. The engineers office is generally
locked while stream of people are wear

assurances from Senator TiLman that a

The committee was particularly inter-
ested in Col Lewis, who is a former resi-

mittee that he will probably leave the

vannah TO mingle a few days among his

Important center of trade. Farmers would
haul their cotton and other produce as far
