EFANe Oh untrthnOntRA Net REFUSED TO

Rocks.
Dublin, Ca, Oct. 2S.--James Gilbert
Stickney. a native of Ohio. lately of
Tallapoosa and more recently of Dub
lin, manager of Stickney's Correspon-
dence Bureau, editor of Stickneys
Matrimonial Index, and sometimes d
printer. has come to grief in Indiana
polls, Ind.
If the reports which come from that
city are true, Stlckney was recently
fined 800 by the recorder of Indiana
polls, or given the alternative of serv-
ing for four months on the Indiana
polls rock pile. Stickney was fined for
threatening to kill a young woman
who had refused to marry him, and
then to commit suicide.
Among those who Joined Stickney's
Matrimonial Bureau was young lady
from Indianapolis. So struck was the
manager with her peculiar style of
handling the Kings English, he could
judge of her in no other way. he de-
cided to reserve her for himself and

dence.
Affairs progressed rapidly and she
agreed to marry Stickney. He went to
Indianapolis short time ago to have
the nuptial knot tied, but the young
woman backed square down as soon as
she got a good look at the promoter of
matrimonial ventures. Stickney i'm
plored, but she was firm in her refusal
AS a last resort the love-sick young
man threatened to murder her and then
take his own life If she would not
agree to be his for veal or woe. A po-
liceman, who happened to be near,
took the young man in charge and he
is now breaking rocks, in all probable
ity, as ii is not thought here that he
could have had enough money at hand
or in reach with which to pay the fine.
Sometime since Stickney was arrest
ed in Dublin on a warrant sworn out
by representative of the Underwood
Typewriter Company, charging him
with selling a typewriter which he had
rented. The typewriter was valued at
$75, but was sold by Stickney for less
than $40. Stickney remained in Jail for
several days, but finally regained pos
session of the typewriter, turned it
over to the Underwood people, paid the
costs in the case and was released. He
Immediately left Dublin, owing a num-
Der of people. He is a slick citizen and
has, IL is said, been in trouble often.

SAVED FROM HIMSELF.
r. w. Gilbert Made Three Attempts
to Take His own Life.

Triton, Ga, Oct. 2S.-P. w. Gilbert.
an ex-newspaper man, and member
of one of the most prominent families
in Quitman county, was arrested by
the Triton police last night ION a charge
of disorderly conduct. and is at pres
ent confined in the city Jail. The ar
rest grew out of Mr.. Gilbert's strange
actions for the past two days, and sew
eral apparent attempts at suicide. The
medium of these attempts to take his
life was chloroform. which he carries
about his person, and the influence of
which he has been under ever since
his arrival here.
Tuesday afternoon, while in the post
office, he put his handkerchief to his
nose and fell to the floor unconscious.
He was picked up and carried to his
hotel. He repeated the same dose
later in the afternoon. The other
guests of the Klondyke Restaurant,
where he was stopping, complained to
the police, and Gilbert was notified
that If he used the drug again, he
would be arrested. Notwithstanding
the warning, he repeated the dose
Tuesday night at late hour and his
actions were such as to cause the hotel
proprietor to ask for his arrest
The opinion of those who have seen
the young man, is that his mind is un-
balanced. He is from Georgetown. Ga,
and UP to a year or so ago, ran a
newspaper there. He belongs to one OF
the most prominent families in that
section and his condition is to be re-
GREETED by his many friends.

TOM WATSON COMING.
He VIII Lecture Here for Benefit of
Post A of the II. A.

He VIII Lecture Here for BENEFIT of
Post A of the IT. p. A.
Hon. Thomas E. Watson is coming
to Savannah to deliver his lecture on
the South. Post A of the Travellers
Protective Association has secured Mr..
Watson, and it is expected that a
crowded house will greet him.
1t Is the purpose of the post to give
several entertainments before next
April, when the state convention of
the Travellers Protective Association
will be held here. Whenever the con-
vention has been at Savannah the
delegates have gone home with a sense
OF having been lavishly entertained.
The members of Post A do not want
the coming convention to be a reversal
Of the usual experience.
On former occasions it has been the
custom of the post to solicit by direct
subscriptions among the wholesale
houses and others. This plan will not
be employed for the coming conven-
ton, unless 1t should be found that
the needed funds for the entertain
ment of the visitors cannot be raised
by the entertainments.
The date of the appearance of Mr..
Watson has not been fixed, but 1t will
be some time next month. The Sa-
vannah Theater will be the place where
the celebrated orator, politician. ex-
lawyer, writer and lecturer will be
heard. The price of a seat will be 81.
Mr. Watson's lecture has been most
highly commended. 1t Is said to be
the richest gem of the many that have
been produced by his talented pen.

SHERIFF HIGGS SUSTAINED,
Judge Discharges Case Against Him
ON the Demurrer

ON the Demurrer.
Mount Vernon, Ga, Oct. 28.-The case
of the State VS.. Il. E. Higgs, sheriff of
Montgomery county, was disposed of
here in the Superior Court yesterday.
This is the case that caused so much
comment throughout the state during
last August, when it was found out
that w. B. Freeman, convict in Gala
mans convict camp in Early county
had sought executive clemency. and
had been granted a pardon on July IL
and mailed to Sheriff Higgs, reaching
him several days later. The order was
not directed to any one, and after the
sheriff, having asked advice as to what
ne should do in the matter, decided
that the order was mailed to him by
the Governor for the purpose of letting
him know that the Pardon Board had
acted on the matter, hence all was
perfectly quiet until the public were
told that the sheriff would have to
take Freeman's place in the changing
for OBTAINING him there after he had
been pardoned by the Governor.
The state, through the solicitor gen
eral, prepared the papers that will
show he did all in his power to prose-
cute the sheriff by direction of the
Governor. The judges ruling in sus-
canning thC was LfldL the
sheriff of Montgomery county had no
jurisdiction of a man in Early county
so far as giving him his pardon. AS a
matter of law the case was disposed of
on demurrer.
The people of the county have been
very much interested in the case ever
since they found out that the sheriff
would be investigated. The case was
vigorously prosecuted by Hon. John r.
Delacy, while members of the local bar
were very determined for the defense.
During the arguing of the demurrer
the court house was filed, and the
judge several times ordered the crowd
to be seated. The number of citizens
In attendance yesterday was the larg-
est that has attended the Superior
Court in years. Immediately upon the
ruling of the judge, sustaining the de-
murrer, court adjourned for the noon
hour. The citizens expressed to each
other their qualification that Sheriff
Riggs was again free and would be
their officer another term.

Too Much BrickbattinR.

Brick batting" is a pastime among
boys that not only does not need en-
couragement, but needs the vigorous
attention of the police and parents. A
party of white boys on Thirty-sixth
street had a pitched battle yesterday
afternoon, and one of the warriors at
least went out of the fight with a
cash in his head. Some of the boys
went into the fight with armfuls of
Jagged bricks, and they used them to
the best advantage on their opponents.
Hardly a day passes that a report is
not received OF a brickbat fight in
which some one is injured.
