WE'RE OUT ON A LARK.
Edward Penton Badly Cut and six
Young Men Arrested.

Edward Penton. a well-known young
man, was seriously wounded In a
general row at Jefferson and Berrien
streets late Saturday night He is at
the Park View Sanitarium and will re-
cover unless complications set in The
matter was not reported at police head
quarters until yesterday. and six of those
who participated in the fight were ar
rested during the day.
II. G. johnson admits that he did the
cutting ana along with p. r. Champion
Fred Willink and w II. Johnson was
arrested by Detectives Murphy and WAL.
The officers had considerable difficulty
in learning just who were engaged I'm the
fight and It was only after several hours
OF hard work that the identity of the
participants was learned. All four OF
the prisoners were charged with assault
with intent to murder, and furnished
bail for their appearance when an inves-
tigation Is held In Police Court
The detectives learned that Penton's
companions were Ted WiIburn and Cohen
Grower, and they were arrested LAST
night on charges Of assault and battery

woman appears to have been the
cause OF the fight, although this was not
admitted by the johnson quartette The
detectives learned In the morning that
the mystery of the affair centered around
an unknown woman and several others
who were in the neighborhood at the
time were questioned closely by the Off
GERS, but denied all knowledge of the
fight.
They say that, with Penton, they drove
up Jefferson street in a buggy and pass
ed four men and a woman. Some. re-
mark was made and words were ex-
changed by the men. Those in the buggy
jumped TO the ground. and during the
fight that followed the woman made her
escape. 1t is said that clubs, sSass
knucks and knives were used and all or
the parties bear marks of the battle.
H. c. Johnson, the young man who says
Re cut Penton, was himself cut in the
back and struck with something besides
a mans hand In the face. He declares
that he used his knife IN self-defense aid
that Penton is the man who cut him. He
says that he and his companions were
walking on Jefferson street. when the
three men in the buggy jumped out and
began the fight. They gave no warning
and. according to his version of the az
fair, started the trouble without the
slightest provocation.
Penton is cut across the forehead, and
In the back. the latter wound being the
dangerous one. He was reported last

STATES MAY QUARANTINE.
Supreme Court Delivers Importan
Decision in Texas Case.

Supreme Court Delivers Important
Decision in Texas Case.
Washington, April 22.-The attention Of
the United States Supreme Court was
given to-day largely to the question of the
right Of one state to quarantine against
another. The contention arose In connec-
ton with the case of w. P Smith VS..
the st. Louis and Southwestern Railway
company involving quarantine regula-
tons against the importation of cattle in
1877. The cattle shipment upon which this
case turned was made by Smith over the
St Louis road from Plain Dealing, La,
TO Fort Worth, Tex, the officials of the
road being unaware that a quarantine
hsd been established, as had been done
oy the Texas officials. When the existence
I'll thls restriction became known the rail-
road company refused to deliver the stock
70 the consignee and reshpped them to
Plain Dealing. There Smith refused to
receive them as he also did the proceeds
Of their sale.
smith then brought suit for damages,
tohtendlng that the regulations were an
interference with interstate commerce and
unJustlned by the facts. The trial court
sustained this regulation, but the state
court of Appeals reversed the decision,
n ,rg IN favor of the railroad company.
lo-oays opinion affirmed the latter de-
O'sIoh on the ground that the state had
Isht under its police power to protect
I.Seil against infectious disease, even
.noush commerce may be incidentally in
.sliered with by the regulations for such
p.olecuon. Justices Harlan and White
,.l'ed IN a dissenting opinion and JUS
nCe Brown delivered a dissenting opinion
OF his own.

A PRINT MILL COMBINE.
Talk of One at Fall River, but Little
Probability of 1t Now.


Fall River, Mass, April 22.-No little
stir was made here to-day by published
statements that a further attempt to con-
solidate the print cloth mills of New Eng
land and the Southern states was on foot
and that j. p. Morgan & Co., of New
York, were behind the movement Inquiry
made quite generally among the men who
are in control of many of the local mills,
or represent the big manufacturing prop
critics, tonight brought almost unani-
nous statements that the reports have
no foundation in fact. The cotton mills
here are ready for consolidation, but not
more so now than at any time during the
past two years, In which time the sub
ject has received much attention. 1t was
directly stated in one publication that an
option had been given for the American
Printing Company and the Fall River
Iron Works mills in pursuance of the
plan but representatives of those interests
deny any knowledge of such transac-
ton and ridicuIe its probability under the
present prosperous condition of the cloth
market.
Inquiry among the largest stockholders
and the prominent bankers who were in
terested in the previous consolida ton
movement, shows that no one here hav-
ing authority to act for the controlling
interest has been interview on the mat
ter. The men who were prominent in
trying to effect a consolidation two years
ago and those who were trying to pre-
vent it, agree that the rumor at this
time started in the South because of a
plan to bring the mills there under a
general control The mills spoken prom.

Not he Mimicked.
The case against Policeman j. ~. Shee-
han. brought by Mr.. ]. E. Herbert, was
dismissed by the Mayor yesterday after
an investigation. Mr.. Herbert charged
that while having his shoes shined on
Broughton street recently, he was accost-
ed nv Policeman Sheehan and ordered TO
move to the curb to have the boy OPP
crate on his shoes. Mr.. Herbert did not
like being moved on, nor did he like the
tone or manner of the policeman.
Besides the policeman and Mr.. Herbert,
there was one witness present. His tes-
timony. was heard, and the policeman
made a statement Mr.. Herbert began to
relate his experience, but, In doing SO,

addressed by Sheehan. The Mayor stop
ped him immedia tely, saying he could not

him. The case was then dismissed.
The Mayor said that 1t was not because
of Mr. Herbert's mimicry that the case
was dismissed, but because the evidence
showed that the offsnse of Policeman

given him against speaking harshly or

nance making this demand of bootb.acks,

A BOARDING. HOUSE TRUST.
ProprietOrs Seeking Sorv..,
Through Combination


Through Combination.
savannah came yesterday within an ace
OF neing the place of organization of one
more trust. This time the keeners ~
pording houses were to combine, for com
mon protection. against the common
enemy. The common enemy is that indi-
Vidual who won't have home of his own
and who seeks comfort in boarding house
hall bedrooms.
invitations to attend the gathering had
been sent out to all those whose houses
are considered of the creme de la creme of
boarding excellence in Savannah. but for
some reason an heroic half dozen only
gathered to discusss the situation Great
measures receive their first impetus AL
ways from the act of the few; the MANY
are prone to wait in the background the
result OF this first attack upon the strong
mold OF custom and tradition.
one principal trouble, it appeared. was

little money in Savannah. 1t is said that

month. The good ladies wanted to raise
it to $25.

Boarders on occasion had proven refrac-
tory. Some of them insisted on having
milk for breakfast and others had shown
themselves possessed of wants and over
come by aspirations, equally ridiculous
and absurd.
The female boarder, who shops too hard
during the afternoon, and is too tired to
come down to, dinner. was another SUBJ
1ect of discussion. Just how much extra
should be charged for the meal she want
ed and had sent up to her room afforded
the meeting no little trouble
Another meeting, it is understood, is
soon to be called. 1t is hoped by the EN-
tnusiastic it will be more largely attend
ed, and that through concurrent action
some solution of present and impending
diff1culties may be devised. Meantime the
dwellers in han bedrooms, and even those
who Inhabit more spacious apartments,
are quaking in their boots. They recog-
nize that the day of reckoning Is near
at hand.

Negro 0ystermen Say Capt. oemIer
Took Oysters by Force,

Another chapter i'm the endless warfare
between Capt Augustus Oemler and the
negro oystermen of Thunderbolt and Will
mington was writ in the City Court yes
terday. There, were two chapters indeed,
for two of the oystermen are now suing
Capt. Oemler for damages.
These men. John Bevans and Trim Mid
dleton, say that Capt. Oemer and Edward
Andrews assaulted them at the mouth of
Rhodes creek on March 10, and with force
and armed threats robbed them of Ger
tain bushels of oysters, which were their
property. Bevens says his were of the
value of $40, while Middleton fixes the
value of his at *.
Last week Capt. Oemler entered suit
against the bondsmen some of the oyster
men gave when they had an injunction
prohibiting their gathering oysters in GER
tain disputed territory, dissolved. Now
the oystermen are back at him with two
suits for damages. Each of the plaintiffs
asks $500
