Rock Hill Herald, September rs: John
Adams, colored, Of this city, was be-
fore Mayor Waters one day last week,
being charged with carrying concealed
weapons. He was sentenced to pay a
fine Of $3.50 or to 80 days on the public
works of the county. His employers
stood for the payment of the fine, he
agreeing to work the amount out with
them. Monday, however, he was before
the mayor on charge Of petit larceny
and was convicted and sentenced to pay
fine Of $25 or go to the chaingang for
so days. His employers refused to
stand for him further and he Is now
working for the county. The charge Of
larceny consisted in his having stolen
a watch and pistol from A. B. Colvin,
colored, of Blacksburg, while the latter
was asleep in a car on the S. c. & Ga.
Extension side track In this city. Mon
day, in the mayors court, Amzi San
ders, colored, was sent to the chain
gang for 80 days for selling whisky.
There were five counts in the indict-
ment, but he was convicted in only one.
Magistrate Beckham was called to
Catawba Junction Monday afternoon,
to accord Henry Green and Lester
Vaughan, colored boys, aged respective
ly about Is and 1S years, preliminary
hearing on a charge preferred against
them of throwing a rock at passenger
coach on the Seaboard Air Line train
on the 18th instant. 1t was in evidence
that the rock, about five inches in
length, and several inches in thickness,
passed through a window pane, and,
striking against the car on the opposite
side, fell upon the floor, doing no other
harm. The train was then about half
mile from the Junction. When it arriv-
ed there the conductor reported the
facts, when a posse went in search and
arrested the boys named above. The
testimony was such as to warrant the
magistrate in sending Green to jail to
await trial in the circuit court, while
Vaughan was held as a material wit
ness. When the rock was thrown the
latter was on the side Of the train op-
posite from Green; but there seems to
be no doubt Of the latters guilt.
Superintendent A. Trip, Of the S. G. &
Ga. Tx. road, spent Monday in the city.
A reporter for The Herald met Colonel
Tripp at the Carolina hotel, and in an
swer to a question as to whether there
is any truth in the rumor that his road
had passed under the control of the At
lantic Coast Line, he replied that there
is positively no foundation whatever in
the report. 1t is probable, he said, that
his road will connect with the Atlantic
Coast Line about the first of December,
and tnat for this purpose a through
Charleston coach may be put on about
the first Of December. For the present
there is no expectation that the sched-
ule now in force will be disturbed.
