DECISIONS GIVEN BY
JUDGE CHARLES U. BELL

Judge Charles U. Bell yesterday
handed down decisions in seven cases
heard by him as judge of the Superior
Court. Among them was the finding
in Charles A. Petts VS.. Joseph Butler,
both of Fitchburg, which contains mat
ter bearing on the rights of coal yards.
The court awards damages of Sc and
says:
II find that some injury resulted to
the plaintiffs property from the use
made by the defendant of his coal
sheds and that such injury was an ac-
tionable nuisance.
"A large part of the injury of which
the plaintiff complains came from
other sources. The business of the de-
PENDANT is a necessary and proper one
and must be carried on in proximity to
the railroad
ITO order all coal yards out of Fitch
burg would be unreasonable and impos
sible l find it would be reasonable
that the defendant should take some
further precautions which I am salts
fed win prevent any future injury to
the plaintiff. These are the closing of
windows and doors during the intro
duction and screening of coal and the
closing Of cracks on that part of the
defendants sheds within so feet of the
plaintiffs property.
Il assess damages to the beginning
of the suit at So. A decree to be drawn
according to this memorandum"
In Charles C. Haway ct al VS.. Albert
E. Williams, equity proceeding, the
court says:
1.-THE agreement that the piano might
be paid for by services rendered was
beyond their authority. Sixty dollars
was paid to Doll the owner and for this
the defendant should have credit. The
attempted settlement with Barr was
void for want of authority in BaEr. /
DO not find that any money was then
paid. There is due $500 with interest.
The plaintiff is entitled to a decree for
the possession of piano, unless the sum
due is paid. and in the alternative a
decree for the payment of the money

GONZALES AND WILLIAMS.
SOUTH CAROLINA EDITORS GET
ANGRY WITH EACH OTHER.

Controversy Grew out of oner O
the Postomce at Columbia to Gen
Hampton, for which Editor Will
Jams Assumed Responsibility
Latter is Backer of McLaurir
and Editor Gonzales Is NOt-Ths
correspondence, which Is Some
what Bitter, Is Published in the
state.
Columbia, s. c., May 2o.-There has re-
Gently been a controversy between Mr.. N
G. Gonzales. editor Of the State, and Mr.,
A B. williams. editor of the Richmond
News. Mr. Gonzales, in commenting upon
the offer Of the Office of postmaster to
Gen. Wade Hampton, characterized 1t as
an attempt to buy Gen. Hampton.
At this Mr.. Williams took exception. for,
as he stated subsequently, he had suggest
ed the proffer. Mr.. Williams assailed the
policy of the state in relation to Governor
EIlerbe and the state printing. Mr. Con
gales. in reply showed that the state
printing contract was awarded in an open
and legitimate manner. and that 1t was
not accepted from Gov. Ellerbe. The
charges Of lfr. Williams were character
lied as malicious and false. This was
about the last the general pubic saw OF
the matter, but that was regarded as
pretty plain talk even for editors.
The State this morning takes up the
story where it was left off. II appears
that there has passed between the two
gentlemen private correspondence which
indicates that Mr. Williams intimated that
he would send a challenge. The State
makes no comment, but publishes the cor
respondence in toto.
On May 13 Mr. Williams wrote: Il have
the honor 10 request of you an immediate
retraction of the words, malicious SIAN
ders' and contemplate as applied to
statements printed over my name and
written by me; and apology for using such
words in connection with statements from
me" etc.
To this Mr.. Gonzales replied that he
was not accustomed to making statements
Of whose truth he was not convinced He
rejected Mr. Williams demand to apollo
gize, etc. He repeats that certain OF
MIR. Williams statements were untrue.
As 20 the ntimation of challenge fol-
lowing his refusal to comply with Mr..
Williams demands, Mr.. Gonzales stated
that be must uphold the laws of the
state and those laws forbid the conven-
rional settlement of half a century ago.
However. he agreed to meet Mr. Williams
out of the state. saying he would allow
Mr. Williams to fire at him without his
returning the fire of Mr.. Williams. This
he knew TO be quixotic. apparently, yet 1t
evidenced his willingness to assume re-
sponsibility for his editorial utterances.
The correspondence continued. there
having been another letter from Mr. Will
~
zales. No settlement seems to have been
reached yet. Mr.. Gonzales publishes the
correspondence through no violation OF ct
tquette, but because of a statement by
Mr.. Williams that he would put the mat
ter before the public himself.

HAD THEIR MAY PARADE.
One of the CoIored Soldiers Arrested
for Striking a white Boy.

for Striking a White Boy.
The annual May parade of the colored
military was held yesterday afternoon.
The line of march was through the prin-
opal streets and the celebration closed
with drill. battalion parade and review
in the parade ground.
Capt. H. NJ Walton was in comman nd
of the troops. Lieut. Sol c. johnson was
adjutant. The companies in line were the
Savannah Light Infantry; the Lincoln
Guards, Capt. w. J. Pinckney; the Col
quit Blues, Capt J. H. Carter: the
Chatham Light Infantry, Capt Nelson
Law; and the Georgia Artillery. Capt J.
G. Simmons. Col. j. H. Deveaux wit
messed the parade and the evolutions on
the parade ground He expressed satisfac-
tion with ell he saw. He was physically
incapacitated from assuming command.
One incident Of the parade resulted in
the arrest of Private Thomas Wright of
the Chatham Light Infantry. He was
charged with disorderly conduct on the
Parade Ground and with having struck
young Malcolm r. Maclean with a gun.
Master Maclean made the complaint
against the soldier identifying the man
as the one who had struck him.
Col. Deveaux spoke of the incident He
said that the first intimation Capt. Wal
ton had of the trouble was when a SER
geant of police approached him and said
that he wanted to arrest one of the SOL
ders, who had struck a white boy. Capt
Walton told him that he would assume
the responsibility for the man and would
turn him over TO the police after the pa
rade. This he did, accompanying the man
to the police station.
An impression prevailed among the SOL
dieIs, Col. Deveaux said. that Master
Maclean had been run into and knocked
down by one of the men during the exc
cution of one of the orders that demand
ed the double time in it's execution. Col
Deveaux said that there was no inten-
ton on the part of the military to shield
the man, as was shown by Capt Walton
turning him over to the police. II Wright
struck Master Maclean, Col. Deveaux
said, the colored military would like to see
him punished. If such should be proven
Col Deveaux said that the man would

PATROLMAN USED CLUB.
MANNED BOotbIack Had to he Beaten
Into InsensibiIity.


John Moody, the MANNED negro boot
black, had to be beaten into insensibility
by Patrolman Mccarthy on Liberty ana
East Broad streets last night, and will
answer two charges in Police Court this
morning. Even though Moody is minus
both legs, and has only one arm, the
strength in his stumps is wonderful, and
he has put several patrosmen at a time
out of business, in Savannah as well as
in nelghboring cities.
The bootblack is a demon when drunk
and he was in that condition last night
when Charles Perkins, colored, of No. 622
Perry street, east, called on the officer to
arrest him. Moody had assaulted the COM
plainant without any provocation, and
started in to play the same game with
Mccarthy. In addition to this the negro
used profanity that would have shocked
the morals of an old tar. The officer en-
deavored to get his prisoner 10 the patrol
box without trouble, but was forced to
beat the man into unconsciousness. The
prisoner will go before Recorder Myrick
this morning with sore head, and will
probably receive the usual sentence-the

ers in the vicinity of Clear Water, s. c.,
report their crops completely ruined by
the hail. Mr.. Cheatham, who conducts
dairy across the river. reported that two

have been no trouble to gather a bushel of
hailstones from the ground.
