HURT IN ROCK FIGHT.
Locomotive Fireman Suffered as
Result of Brick Battle.

Result of Brick Battle.
Thomas c. Byman. of No 49s Lum-
Der street, employed as a locomotive
fireman on the Central of Georgia
Railway. was badly injured yesterday
in a rock battle. The trouble occurred
on Lumber and Walker streets in
Frogtown, and the rocks that struck
Byman were thrown by negro boys.
Patrolman Reisen fired two shots at
the negroes, but was unable to stop
them, and although the city detec>
tiVes were out until an early hour this
morning. they were unable to find any
of the boys who took part in the bat
tie, which resulted in the injury OF
the fireman. Byman was struck on
the right temple, and his right leg
was badly injured. He was taken to
his home on Lumber street, but was
later removed to the Savannah Hos
pital in the police ambulance.
Just how the trouble between the
white and black boys started could
not be learned by the police, but it is
believed to have been over a trivial
matter. The opposing factions We're
small at first and the negroes were re-
pulsed. They retreated under fire to
Jones and Wilson streets, where they
secured reinforcements, and a battle
royal followed. Neither side appeared
to be at a disadvantage when the
stray missiles strucy Byman and a
moment later the patrolman put in an
appearance. 1t appeared then that
Bynum had been seriously injured, and
in an effort to catch the boys the Off
Ger fired his revolver.
The police received information that
the negroes We're led by Fred Faber
a negro boy arrested last week for
killing another boy named frankie
Graham, near the Seaboard Air Line
shops. Faber shot Graham through
the neck, killing him instantly. but the
testimony before the coroner'G Jury
showed that the homicide was an ac-
cident. Faber appears to have been
at the head of a crowd of West Side
negroes, some of whom were his COM
panions when Graham was killed. The
police win make every effort to arrest
the guilty persons, although Byman
is not seriously injured.

ESTABLISHED A RECORD.
More Marriage Licenses Issued Dur
ing 1901 Than in Any Past Year.

The year 1901, in one respect at
least, has surpassed its every prede-
cessor that has brought good and evil
to Chatham county. There have been
more marriage licenses issued than
ever before, and there is one more day
yet to run, that is practically certain
to add two or three other marriages to
the record.
During the year that will expire at
midnight tonight there were issued by
the clerk of the Court of Ordinary 917
licenses to wed, of which number S21
were to white and 500 to colored
couples. The month of December, dur
ing which 10S licenses have been is
sued, almost establishes a. record, as
this is a greater number for any month
in the year and for any month of any
year that has preceded 1901. Truly the
chilly blasts of December can have no
tendency to cool the ardor or damp the
flames of love.
In 1892 there were issued 722 licenses;
in 1893, $50; in 1894, 666; in 1885, 63S; in
1896, $50; in 1897, 100; and in 1898, 1926,
the highest number reached in this
county until the present year. The Ii
censes issued in 1889 numbered S25,
and those for 1900, 1876. The present
year, with 917 licenses to its credit
makes all the others look like thirty
cents.
There was a decrease in the number
of negro marriages in 1900 over that in
1899, but this year there has been an
increase in the marriages of both
races. There were thirty more white
marriage and ninety-one more negro
marriages in 1901 than there were n
1900. April and December are always
the banner months of the year in the
number of marriages, and this year was
no exception. There were ninety three
licenses issued in April and los, as has
been said, in the present month, with
one day still to spare.
The following table shows the num-
Der of marriage licenses issued to white
and colored couples respectively for
each month of the year. with the totals
for each month and for each race and
for the wear:

TORNADO IN THE SOUTH
Destructive Wind and Rain Storm Passei
Over Birmingham, Ala.

Birmingham, Ala, March pa ter.
rifle wind and rain storm passed over
Birmingham and vicinity about 10
o'clock in the morning, during much
damage, the extent of which is not
yet known. owing to the demoralized
conditions of telephone and telegraph
wires. A large number of houses are
reported to have been blown down in
the southwestern portion of the city,
and one report says that LOCO persons
have been hurt. The entire police
force, fire department and all the am
balances in the city, together with
scores of surgeons, have been sum-
mOned to the scene.
The same storm swept over Iron
dale, seven miles east of here, and it
is said practically destroyed the bust
ness part Of the town. Seven men
are reported killed there and many in
jured. Pratt City also suffered much,
the public school building being I'M
rooted and the First Methodist
church. having ITS steeple blown off.
Many negro cabins were wrecked and
a number of people hurt. North Bir-
mingham and other suburbs also suf-
fered. The wind blew a fearful gale
and rain fell in enormous sheets and is
still falling. 1t is feared that when
full reports come in the damage will
be shown to have been very heavy.
