ALL A QUESTION OF TASTE.
Knife and a Chair Used to Deter
mine the Quality of Syrup.

Paul Hofferman and Reuben Red,
white men employed at the Vale Royal
Dairy, became engaged in difficulty last
night, in which Hofferman was given two
knife wounds that necessitated a trip to
the city for surgical attention.
The row was about a most trifiing sub
ject to have led to so serious an end. The
men were at supper at the dairy when
the question arose as to whether the
syrup on the table was good or not One
thought it. was, the other differed with
him, and in the argument that followed
the lie was passed. Both men rose and
Hofferman tried to impress his view of
the question by bringing down a chair
on Reds head
Fortunately for Red his head went be-
tween the spckes of the chair and he was
unhurt. In the meantime, however, he,
too, had possessed himself of a weapon
In the form of a heavy and viciously sharp
pocket knife, and with this he gave his
antagonist a dig under the left eye and
another near the left kidney. InN each
case the knife penetrated to the depth of
about an inch. The wounds were dressed
by DR.. G. W. Heriot. Neither is serious.
No complaint was made to the police and
no arrest was made. Meanwhile the quail
ity of the syrup is still undetermined.

THOUGHT HE'D KILLED HIM.
Negro Fireman Knocked Out a Bully
With a Pot of Peas.


Butler Frierson, a negro living at 7O2
Bolton street, west, called at the police
headquarters last night and stated that
he had killed a negro near the lamp
black factory, west of the city. Frierson
was locked up and Coroner Keller was
notified.
An investigation showed that no one
had been killed, but that Frierson had
knocked a negro huckster unconscious
with a pot Of COW peas. When it was
found that the wounded negro was not
dead or even seriously hurt Frierson was
released from custody. The negro is en-
ployed as fireman by the Seaboard Air
Line, and says that he was returning
from his work at the time of the trouble
He was cold and asked a colored woman
to let him warm at a fire in her house.
She agreed and Frierson remained there
for quite awhile. Another negro named
Bill Williams was in the house and said
that he had a revolver and was looking
for the man who was afterwards knocked
out by the fireman.
The two men had been in some difficulty
and Frierson remarked that Williams
should have knocked the other man down
with a club end not have been frightened
by a paper-cap pistol. A moment later
there was knock on the door and man
inquired if Williams was inside. The No-
man said that he was, but that she was
not going to have any trouble in the
house and would not open the door. Will
Jams insisted on the door being opened,
and stepped forward as she man entered.
F'rierson says that the man started for
him and asked what he meant by edvis-
ing Williams to use a dub. The two ne
groes argued for several minutes and
Frierson says that the strange negro threw
his hand to his hip pocket.
Frierson was standing by the stove and
Selling pot containing peas he hurled it
at the strange negro's head knocking
him out. Frierson was sure that he had
killed the man and ran as fast as his legs
could carry him to police headquarters.
The police were satisfied from his actions
that he was justified in committing the
assault, and no case was made against
him. % t'''

GUILTY OF TWO CRIMES.
Curt HernIcin Sentenced 10 Spend
Two Years on the Gang.

Two Years on tne
Curt Hernlein, the young German who
il past years and of late has figured
frequently and prominently in police and
court records, faced Judge Falligant in
the Superior Court yesterday morning and
entered pleas of guilty to two indictments
found against him.
One indictment charged Henlein with
cheating and swindling, the particular Of
tense being that he had declared to the
teller of the Savannah Bank and Trust
Company that he was Judge Thomas M
Norwood and insisted upon receiving the
amount of a check. which he then pre-
scented, which was drawnsto Judge Nor.
woods order. AS Hernlein does not at all
resemble Judge Norwood he did not get
the money.
He did get arrested, however, and then
there was found on his person a letter,
addressed to Mr.. w. G. Woodfin and
containing a check for money Hernlein
acknowledged that he had stolen this let
ter, as well as the one which contained
the check drawn 90 the order of Judge
Norwood from the janitor's room in the
County Court House.
He made an official admission of guilt
in court yesterday and on each charge
Judge Falligant sentenced him to pay a
fine of 800 and costs or serve twelve
months on the county chain-gang.
While Hernlein is serving these two
years on the gang he will be kept quite
safe to await the action Of the grand jury
of the United States District Court, to
which he has been turned over by the
commissioner for stealing a letter. before

WAITING ON OI CESN0LA.
His Judgment of Coffin Plate and
Button Is Desired.

The Savannah gentlemen who took an
active part in the search for the remains
of Gen Nathaniel Greene will await
with eagerness a report from Col. Asa
Bird Gardiner who will submit the cof-
lin plate and the buttons he carried to
New York to Gen. DiCesnola, director of
the Metropolitan Art Museum. 1t is hoped
that the careful inspection Of the plate
and The buttons that will be made by Gen.
DiCesnoIa will result in their showing
positive and conclusive proof of the re-
mains with which they were found being
those of Gen. Greene.
More doubt is expressed about the plate
than the buttons, for upon abe buttons all
who inspected them could readily distin-
guish that they were of metal, evidently
such as a soldier might have worn, ana
that they were embossed with the en-
blematfc eagle. II was supposed that Gen.
Greene was buried in his uniform, and
the buttons furnish evidence of the re-
mains being his.
Both Mr.. Otis AshmoCe and Hon, Will
lam Harden declare that they were unable
10 detect any letters upon the coffin plate
that would indicate the name of Gen,
Greene OF the date of his burial, 1856. Mr..
Harden said however, when asked about
the matter Yesterday, Lnat he DelleNeS inc
remains discovered were those Of Gen.
Greene and his son, for the reason that
50 many other circumstances point 90 such
identity. Even without the name plate,
he would believe the question of the
wherea bouts of the remains had been set
tied.
The chief reasons to prove the remains
those of Gen. Greene and his son that oc-
eur to Mr.. Harden are the fact that
Johnson's history of Gen. Greene has il
that the remains were inferred in the
Jones' vault; that the vault was not
searched by the aldermanid committee in
1913; that the late Mr. Wymberley j. De-
Renne removed all the remains of mem
bers of his own family from the vault
some fifty years ago; that no others than
Gen. Greene's and his sons were found
there, and that it is related that father
and son were placed side by side.
In the meantime there is some specula-
ton as to what will be done with the re-
mains. II is the popular opinion that
they should be retained in Savannah. Mr..
r. T. Waller who was active in the
search and who represents one branch
of the Greene family, Mrs. Waller being
"a great-grauddaughte of the General, op-
poses any idea of their removal. The ma
iority of the descendants of the General
are at the South, he says, and they
would be a unit for their retention here.

wife were of the class of peddlers and
they had bought goods from Ameen

allegations and this made the issue.
The fun in the case sprang from the
