HenNy Damages.

The jury on the damage case
against the city of Atlantic brought
in verdict against the city, award
ing Mrs. Katherine Wissler $2,16O
damages. The case grew out of
fall Mrs. Wissler had on the 9th of
last June, occasioned, as she averred,
by a defective sidewalk. At the close
of the trial on Tuesday it was
thought that nominal damages might
be allowed, but 30 one suspected that
such Il large sum would be returned.
The city will undoubtedly appeal the
case.

ATLANTA JEWELER TRICKED.
Diamond Games Seem to Be All the
Go Now.

Several drummers from Atlanta are
responsible for story of a diamond
robbery which took place in that city
on the same day that the mysterious
woman worked her little trick on the
Savannah jewelers.. The story has not
been verified but sounds plausible
enough and the drummers all declare
that it was an actual occurrence. Ow-
ing to the prominence of the parties,
and at the Importantly of the police
and detectives, the matter, they say,
has not as yet appeared in the Atlanta
papers.
young lady of prominence walked
irto one of the largest jewelry estab-
lishments and asked that a diamond
necklace that she brought with her be
mended. The clerk told her, after ex-
aiming the break, that it would take
fully an hour to fix it, and asked il
she would call for 1t. She replied that
she would either call for it or send for
1t. She gave her name and left the
store. M
On the following morning she drove
to the carriage to ascertain what she
wished. When she told him that she
wanted her necklace, she was inform
ed that it had already been sent out
to her. The lady explained that she had
rot sent for 1t and asked to whom i.
had been given. To a negro who
brought a note from her father, she
was told The young lady told the clerk
that her father was not in the city and
had not been for several days. 1l
An investigation was promptly Der
gun. The neggo who had brought the
note to the store was found, and the
police and detectives began to congrat-
ulate themselves upon their success.
The negro knew nothing more about
the matter than that a gentleman at
the kimbal House had given him a
note to take to the jewelers., with in :
structions to wait for a package. He
said that he had received the package
and delivered~it. The man had evident
ly been in the store on the day before
if the negro's story is to be believed,
and had heard the young lady say that
she would send for the necklace.

UNKNOWN AND CRAZY.
Insane Woman Fought the Officers
Who Arrested Her.

Who Arrested Her.
Too crazy to know her own name, or
too obstinate to give it. a negro wo-
man is locked in the police station
with a charge of lunacy entered
against her. Crazy she is. without
the shadow of a doubt; her loud and
indecent language a source of discom-
fort to the prisoners who wanted to
sleep.
The woman was not arrested with
out difficulty. When officer Cohen,
who was off duty, attempted to detain
her she became violent, and Cohen s
brother-in-law, 1. Catchauff, went to
his assistance. She cursed both of
them and passers by. and finally, in
her efforts to free herself, caught
Catchauff's hand in her mouth and bit
1t Savagely. Before he could re-
lease her hold she had bitten his fin
gers until the blood was running free

Before her arrest she had created
considerable excitement at West Broad
and Congress streets by running at
women as they passed and grabbing
them by the skirts and twisting them
around. She jumped into a buggy in

SCHOOL CENTRAL ZATION.
Useful in Some Counties. Says supt.

Useful i'm Some Counties, Says supt.
Ashmore, but Not in Chatham.
The announcement that State School
Commissioner Glenn will recommend
this year the Capitalization. of schools
in Georgia and the free hauling of
the children to school, has excited some
interest, especially among the resi-
dents of the rural districts, who are
the ones that would be affected. The
plan is not a new one and is, in fact,
in operation in the sparsely settled
parts of several of the northwestern
states and in some four or five coun-
ties of Georgia, among them Wash
ington.
Supt. Ashmore of the public schools
of Chatham county, In discussing the
matter yesterday, said the object to
be gained by the plan proposed by Mr..
Glenn is two-fold: in thinly populated
districts 1t would insure the maximum
attendance at the school and in more
populous districts it would be a dis
tinct advantage to have fewer schools,
but with more than one teacher to
the school, as having two or more
teachers at a school where the attend
ance would warrant it the pupils could
be classified and thus better and more
effective work be done.
This plan of hauling the children to
school is now some eight or ten years
old, Mr.. Ashmore said, though it has
been known in Georgia only about
three or four years. 1t may be said
to be a measure of economy, for with
but few pupils in a school district one
school and one teacher with a wagon
to bring the children in are cheaper
than two schools and two teachers.
1t pays to operate this plan sometimes,
MIR. Ashmore continued, though the
conditions on Chatham county are not
favorable to it, the roads being bad
and the people too far off.

FRIENDS BROKE UP.
John Booth Claims w. NJ. RiordOn
Stole His Watch.

John Booth Claims w. NJ. RiordOn
Stole His Watch.
For stealing a watch from his friend,
w. NJ Riordan will be tried in the Po-
lice Court this morning. Riordan was
arrested last night at the request of
John L. Booth, who lives at No. 312
Montgomery street, and who claims
that circumstantial evidence is so
strong against Riordan that he feels
justified in having him arrested.
Booth and Riordan had until a few
days ago been employed together as
telegraph operators, and in that way
had become friendly. Last night Ri
ordan went to his friends house to
pay a friendly call He sat around for
some time and Booth made home
folks" of him. He undressed, laying
his watch on the bed, and went into
the bathroom to take a bath. When
he returned Riordan was gone, as also
was his watch. He dressed hurriedly
and went to police headquarters and
reported the theft. He then accom-
panied the officer to the home of the
suspect. where he was arrested
Riordan declared that he is innocent
of the charge. The watch was not
found in his possession.

HIS CHASTITY DEED.
Rabun Tried to Sever His Head with
n Razor.

j. w. Rabun, formerly a member
of the firm of Rabun & Nell later of
Neidlinger, Rabun & Nell, and recently
a clerk in Leo Franks harness and
leather store at Congress and Whita-
ker streets, attempted suicide at his
home in Guyton yesterday morning by
cutting his throat with a razor. He
is little hope for his recovery.
Mr.. Rabun had recently returned
from Aliens sanitaHum at Milledge-
Vile, where he went about a month
ago for treatment. He was seemingly
much improved and nothing was fur
Their from the thoughts of his family
than that he would attempt his life.
He had been in i'll health for some
months, and had suffered from des-
pondency, the result of insomnia.
Just Back From MIIIedgeviIIe.
About a month ago he went
to Milledgeville. He improved so
rapidly that he returned to his
hime in Guyton a few days ago.
He occupied a room alone, and when
he retired Wednesday night there was
nothing unusual in his manner or his
appearance. The members of his fam
lily occupied rooms adjoining and on
the floor below. Mr.. Rabun retired
at the usual time. and nothing oc-

stood Before n Mirror.
The family arose early yesterday
morning intending IN the Hity
by the first train. They heard a pc
culiar noise in Mr.. Rabun's room and
went to see what it was. Mr.. Rabun
was sitting on the floor with the blood
streaming from his neck. a servant
was sent for DR.. H. R. Tarver, who
With the assistance of DIR. Archer and
others. bound UP the wound.
The would-be suicide had stood be-
fore a mirror and with his razor had
attempted to sever his head from his
body. Several cuts extended from
ear to ear. The right jugular vein
was cut and the windpipe was fright
fully lacerated and almost severed.
The man was weak from the loss of
blood and it was not believed when he
was found that he would live more
than a few minutes
DR.. B. S. Purse of Savannah was
sent for and went up on the first train
anu IeIHdlleu curing the ddy and
night. The physicians offered little
hope, though the last news from Guy
ton was that the wounded man was
still alive.
Mr. Rabun was well-known in Sa-
vannah. His family consists of a wife,
mother, four daughters and a son.
Last winter he and his family resided
in Savannah, in order that his daugh-
tiers might secure better educational
advantages. Upon the close of the
schools the family returned to Guy
ton.
No Reason for the Deed.
Mr.. Frank said that he could assign
no reason for Mr. Rabun's effort to
take his own life. "Mr. Rabun did not
give up nor did he lose his position
with me-" said Mr. Frank. "He was
off on a vacation, upon the conclusion
of which he was to return to work. 1
have never noticed anything about him
to make it appear that he was men
tally unsound. I have always regarded
him as an honest, conscientious gem
tleman. Financial troubles could not
have been the reason for his act, as he
has means" Il.
