SLEDGE HAMMER AS WEAPON.
Negro Used Billy and White Man
Went Him One Better.

H. Harley, machinist employed by
the Mill-Haven Company, at it's place
west of the city, was struck in the
head with a billy yesterday by a negro
laborer at the same place, named Fred
Baker. Harley had a sledge hammer
in his hand at the time of the assault
and let the negro have ii on the side
of the head.
The blow only stunned the negro and
the skull was not fractured. Harley
then had the man tied and telephoned
to the city for an officer. Two ne
groes were left to guard him until the
arrival of Chief Deputy Sheriff Thomas
Sweeney For some reason the men on
guard decided to release Baker and
when Chief Sweeney arrived Baker. had
disappeared.
1t is claimed that the assault made
upon the machinist was unprovoked.
Harley says that he was walking
through the grounds when the negro
brushed in to him, apparently pur-
posely. Harley spoke to the negro and
admonished him not to repeat his per-
Torrance. The negroes answer was a
blow in the head with billy, which
however, did not bring the blood. Har-
ley then used the hammer that he had
in his hand at the time. The officers
are in search of Baker and hope to
have him under arrest before the close
of the week.

MARYLAND PAYS FOR ALL.
Col. Lester Thinks Result in That
State Suffices.

Col. Rufus E. Lester, representative
nightly pleased yesterday when he
saw in the Morning News that the
Democrats had won decisive victories
in Maryland and Kentucky. Though
Col. Lester had expected these results,
he had not been able to keep a shadow
of doubt out of his mind. and he was
spondingly elated to know that
his fondest hopes had been realized.
The result of the election in Mary
land" said Col. Lester, means that
Hon. A. P. German will be returned to
the Senate. That is a contamination
that should delight every member of
the party in the South and compen-
safe fully for the defeat of the Demo-
cratic ticket in the city of New York.
I had believed all the time that the
majority in the next assembly of the
Maryland Legislature would be Demo-
cratic and thus ensure Mr.. Germans
return to the Senate, but I am more
than gratified that this has been prov
en- to be the case"
Col. Lester would not express an
opinion as to the result of the election
in New York city other than to say
he presumed it meant that the people
had become dissatisfied with the domi-
nation of Richard Croker He does
not know Mr.. Low and declined to say
what popularity and success, in his
opinion, would crown the administra-
ton of the new executive head of the
country's principal city. He would
only say he was sorry that Mr.. Shep-
ard, whom he seemed evidently to re-
gard as a good Democrat and a most
competent and honorable gentleman,
had been defeated

FAIR IS ALL READY.
Gov. Gambler Commented Upon It's
Preparedness.

President George w. Owens, First
Vice President and General Manager A.
B. Moore, Second Vice President B. H.
Levy and other directors of the Fair
Association expressed the greatest sat
isfaction with the opening day of the
Fair. They had as large a crowd as
they had expected, and the attendance
upon the various shows was all that
they had hoped for. They appreciate
that opening days of fairs are never
the best, and they were agreeable sur
prised to see business start or so
brisl1ly from the very jump. Thev
think that to-day will bring tremend-
Gus accession to the crowd of the flrst
day, and that the receipts of the asso-
citation will be swollen. The races are
looked to as the principal attraction.
and the talk about them that is heard
on every side leaves little doubt that
race days will draw Savannahians and
visitors in vast numbers.
The last few hours before the open
ing were utilized to great advantage
by all connected with the Fair. Ex-
hibitors brought order out of seeming
chaos in remarkably short time, after
they began to get in their best work,
and Gov Gambler said to President
owens IndI II was the Oily obdIC oAA
of the many he has seen that was
ready on the opening day. He also
characterized the exhibits as the finest
and most complete he ever saw at
State Fair.
On some few of the exhibits work
is still in progress, but it will be fin
ished to-day, and visitors may now
find everything prepared for their en-
tertainment inspection and education,
for there is an education in the care
full examination of all the articles and
products that are to be found in the
buildings.
The excellent management of the
Fair has the wheels run
ming smoothly in every way,
and there is no jar or discord.
Mr.. Moore was praised by all who
were acquainted with the work that
has been done, for the great executive
ability which is demonstrated in every
detail of management.
Many exhibits arrived during the
day, and were either placed or so ar
ranged that they might be put in early
this morning. The Fair will be round
ed out to-day, and system and order
will prevail.

Gas Pipe Broke and Firman Pitts

The bursting of a gas pipe during a

The fire was in the basement of
William Taylor's paint store, in the
Knights of Pythias building, and the
damage did not amount to great deal.
The firemen fought the flames with
streams from the chemical engines and
labored under difficulties because of
the dense smoke, caused by burning
excelsior. A negro porter started the
fire by striking a match in the base
ment, where he had been sent for some
oil. He Immediately gave the alarm
or the damage would have been much
