COLORED SOCIETY IN COURT.
Fred Houston Tried for AssauItinl
Edward Robinson.

Fred Houston Tried for AssauItinG
Edward Robinson.
A jury remained tied up in the Superior
Court last night in the case of Fred Hous-
ton charged with assault and battery. The
case proved to be about the most interest
ing of the day in the court, and there was
good room for difference of opinion.
Houston's offense consisted in an assault
upon Edward Robinson. The latter is a
teacher in the East Broad street colored
school and so is Houstons sister She
attended a song service al one of the COL
ored churches recently, where Robinson
acted as usher. The young woman
became offended because Robinson placed
another woman, who she regarded as an
Objectionable character, alongside of her
and the next day she demanded an expla-
nation. The testimony was that Robin
son gave her a short answer and slammed
a door in her face.
All the parties belong to colored society
and such an insult could not be allowed tn
go unresented. The young woman sent
her brother to see Robinson the next dav
and the result was an encounter in which
Robinson is said TO have gotten DECIDEDLY
the worst of it. He then took out a war
rant for Houston. The hearing in the
magistrates court was not satisfactory.
and Robinson brought the matter to The
attention of the grand jury, which body,
presented a special indictment against
Houston.
Mr.. Walter c. Hartridge represented
Houston at the hearing. while LAWYER /
H. Kinckle, colored, appeared for the pros
ecution.

Nearly everybody you meet will re-
gard it as kind of insult to be asked
if they have weak lungs. All seem to
have solid faith in the soundness Of
their own breathing machine. In cases
of trouble they will admit there is a
heavy cold, "a touch OF bronchitis"
or even "a spell of asthma" but as to
weak or unsound lungs, never, NEVER
Even the poor consumptive, who scarce
ly speaks without coughing, whose
cheeks are wasted, hollow and bear the
hectic flush of doom, will assure you
with glistening eyes that his cold is on
the mend and he will be all right when
the weather changes.
1t is simply terrible to think how far
we may be guilty by our indifference to
the lung troubles of those near and dear
to US. 1t is also a sad thought that we
may hug delusion as to our own health
that we only get rid of when life itself
must pay the forfeit
Nobody can afford to think lightly
of lung troubles, Nobody can afford to
be mistaken about their possible dan
gers. Nobody can afford to neglect
them, or let them wear out" or get
better in the SPRING or any other tom
foolery that leads only to wreck and
ruin. Lung troubles don't move back
ward Weak lungs don't grow strong
by themselves-you must heal them
and strengthen them, and rid them OF
the very earliest germs, of disease, or
you are simply committing form of
suicide. Either You must cure your

lung troubles or THEY WILL KILL
YOU. That's the whole situation in a
nutshell
Never was there a cure for lung trou-
bles equal to the newly discovered DR..
Slocum treatment. This forms a sys-
tenn OF -Four Remedies that are used 81
multaneously and supplement each
others curative action. 1t cures weak
lungs, bronchitis, asthma, coughs, con-
sumption and every other ailment of
the pulmonary region. 1t destroys
every germ that can affect the respira-
tory system, and even in advanced
stages OF lung trouble positively arrests
the tubercular growth, while it also
builds up the patient so that his system
is enabled to throw off scrofula, rheum-
atism, catarrh, and other wasting dis
eases.
Thousands of cured cases already
prove these claims. Thousands of CRATE
full people bless the discovery.
The Doctor wants everybody to know
the surprising merits of his system. He
has arranged to. give a free treatment

instructions for use accompany each

Appropiiating Stores.
Clyde Bailey, a carpenter in the employ
of the government, who has been working
on the reservation at Fort Pulaski, was
arrested by Deputy Marshal White yes
terday afternoon, and is confined at the
county jail.
Bailey was arrested on a warrant issued
by United States Commissioner Lewis,
charging him with the appropriation of
subsistence stores belonging to the gov
eminent, and the conversion of the prof
its of their sale to his own use
The warrant was sworn out by Super
intendent of CorraEs H. r. Allen, who
is in charge of the civilian employees of
the government in the vicinity of Savan-
nah. Bailey has been looking after the
mess of the men at the fort. and the sub
sistence stores were placed in his keep
ing After the arrival of the transports
bringing troops from Cuba and the deten-
ton of these soldiers at the fort, the ci-
villains began to complain that they We're
not properly fed, and that the ration al
lowed by the government was not being
issued to them.
These complaints resulted in an exam-
nation by Supt. Allen, which, it is al
legged revealed the fact that Bailey had
been doing a thriving trade with the sol
diers. by selling them at IS cents each the
meals he should have issued to the civil
ians. The warrant and Bailey's arrest
followed the discovery of this state of af-
fairs.

Two Were Released Because They
Are Confederate Veterans.
Recorder Hartridge tried Plumbers P. e.
Masters, A. Robider and w. L. Corbett
in the Police Court yesterday for violat-
ing the plumbing ordinance. Mr.. Masters
was fined 81. while Messrs. Robider and
Corbett were released on the ground that
they are Confederate veterans, and, there
fore. not liable to license.
Plumber Masters was fined for not re-
porting plans Of work. 1t is stated the
proof was that he had failed TO make
the reports as required by the ordinance.
He was released on a nominal fine, with
the understanding that the reports be
made hereafter, as required.
1t is stated the release of Plumbers Ro-
bider and Corbett who were charged with
doing business without a license, will be
brought officially to the attention Of the
Mayor. 1t is stated they have neither
stood an examination, nor given the CITY

satisfactory work they may do. There
seems to be no objection to allowing them
to proceed without paying the license

examination the same as others in the

not look favorably upon the idea of al.
lowing the veterans to proceed

NJ. L. Revival Begins

The revival services announced some
weeks since begun Thursday at the
NJ. E. church with large and intensely
interesting meeting. Probably no
church service held in Plymouth for
years past has been characterized with
a greater degree of feryor or more strik-
Ing unity of purpose. The Rev. f.
King made brief but effective talk,
and was followed by Pastor Smith,
whose eloquent earnestness had the
magical effect of riviting the attention
of the large audience so closely that the
dropping of pin could almost have
been heard at any time. The singing
was excellent, and the sharp, short fer
vid testimonies evidenced a general en-
thusiasm that would not be suppressed.
So warm and genial is the welcome ex-
tended to strangers and members of
other denominations that one uncOn-
ciously forgets his sect, and remembers
only that he is christian and friend.
The services will be continued until
further notice.
