Not Been Violated.

Not IOlHNeu.
Darien, Ga, Jan. 12-The ten negroes
who were brought from Egg Island
Wednesday night on the charge of oyster
stealing this morning waived a prelimi-
nary hearing and gave bond to await the
action of the grand jury. The bonds were
assessed by Judge Livingston at $500
each.
Mr.. Oemler of Savannah was here and
arranged the matter so that all the men
were able TO give bond. 1t seems that the
oysters gathered from the vicinity of Egg
Island were for Mr.. Oemler's factory near
Savannah. He claims that the law has
not been violated and proposes to take
the cases through all the courts.

Manchester, N. H., Jan. 9.-Congress-
man William Sulzer of New York took

nights Jackson day celebration of the
Granite State Club to launch a little Sui

New Hampshire, for launching purposes,

big man in the Associated Press. The
launching taught Mr.. Sulzer and Mr..
Scott lesson. Wherever and whenever
they next attempt to do any launching,
which, by the way, had a very dispiriting
effect on the banquet, they will take care
first of all that John Temple Graves. ed-
tor of the Atlanta Journal is not in town,

Before last nights meeting neither Mr..

in the banquet Mr.. Suffers position in
the minds of the banqueters was that Of
an individual ten feet tall, brQad-minded

Sulzer read his speech, which was five
columns long and of hypnotic effect.
Graves talked offhand and without a
ghost of preparation, but his views and
his words were eloquent and the effect
was something entirely unexpected. II
may be summarized in the query of one
of the ablest Democrats in New Harnp-
shire, sick at heart from the palpable ef-
fort to make the meeting a Sulzer ratih-
cation party, who turned to a fellow diner
and asked:
