SLASHED WITH A RAZOR.
Negro SharDened the Weapon in
Presence of Victim Before Using 1t.

Negro Sharpened the Weapon in
Presence of Victim Before Using 1t.
Watkins Myers, colored, of No. 644
Sims street, was stabbed at his home
yesterday by a negro named John
Jenkins, and according to the wound
ed man, without provocation. Jenkins
used a razor and Myers almost bled
to death before the arrival of DR.. G..
w. Heriot, who was summoned and
who dressed the wounds.
jenkins made his escape immedi-
ately after the assault and has not
been arrested. According to Myers
story. the cutting occurred in a rather
unusual manner, and Jenkins sharp
ened his razor in the room before he
used it. For this reason the police
are inclined to the opinion that the
assault was premeditated.
Myers said he had a milestone in
his hand when jenkins entered the
room and sat down. He asked per-
mission to use the stone to sharpen
his razor. and the stone was handed
him. While he was getting the weapon
ready for its bloody work he talked
to Myers in a friendly way, and his
manner did not change until he had
down and told Myers that he believed
a certain woman was in an adjoining
room and that he wanted to go in and
see. Myers refused to permit him
to enter the other room. and Jenkins
became enraged and began using the
open razor that he held in his hand.
Myers was cut in several places, and
while he has a chance for recovery,
his wounds are regarded as danger
Gus. He fell exhausted from the loss
of blood, and jenkins left the house
without looking in the room. Myers
received a cut on the back of the head
two inches long, another from the
back of the left ear to the point of
the chin, scraping the jugular vein
and severing the facial artery, another
on the cheek downward three inches,
and still another in the back over the
left shoulder The wounded negro is
at his home on Sims street, under the
care of DR. Heriot.

THE WEEK IN THE COURTS.
Civil Cases Assigned for Trial Be-
fore Judge SenbroOk.

This week will be devoted to the trial
of civil cases in the Superior Court,
number of which have been assigned
for disposition during the month. No
formal order touching the death of
Judge Falligant has yet been passed
by the court, and some action of this
kind will probably be taken by Judge
Seabrook.
Last Thursday the court was ad-
journed until this morning, on account
of the then desperate illness of Judge
Falligant. 1t is customary to direct
that the slaves of the court officers be
draped in mourning for a period of
thirty days, when a judge or some dis
tinguished member of the bar passes
away.
BY order of the County Commission
ers the court room has already been
draped in mourning, as have all the
entrances to the Court House.
The civil cases to be tried include
some of considerable Importance and
interest. A number of them will prob
ably be tried before Hon. Pope Bar
row, whose practical appointment by
the Governor for the ad. interim term
has already been announced in the
Morning News. Mr.. Barrows COM
mission. it is said, will be made out
and forwarded to-day from Atlanta.

''The Central Railway" said an Of

glad to run a special train to Augusta
