AIMED AT HIS HEART
J. p. CORDRAY STABBED WITH A
JAGGED KNIFE.
ED. MENEFIELD MAY DIE
FROM A KNIFE THRUST BETWEEN
HIS RIBS.

COrdray Was Trying to Stop a Fight
In ..The Wooden Box" BarroOm
Near the Union Station His
Wound an Ugly One, But Not Like.
Iy to Be FataI-MenefieId Taken to
the Barracks in an Unconscious
COndition-His Wound Close to the
Heart.
]. P. Cordray had his left hand half
cut off, and John Menefeld, oolored,
was stabbed under the heart with
pocketknife last night. The formers
injury was received while trying to
separate three negroes who were fight
ing in his saloon, The Wooden Box,
at Sims and Stewart streets. He was
taken to Pigman's drug store, oppo-
site the Union Passenger Station,
where his wound was dressed by DR..
Heriot.
1t was a deep slash from left to right
that severed the blood vessels and
muscles clear to the bone. 1t looked
more like a razor cash than a knife
cut, but all the witnesses say there
was but one weapon used in the melee
and that was the pocket knife which
was taken from one of the party all
blood-stained. The blade is probably
21a inches long and somewhat hacked.
Menefield was taken to the barracks.
where his wound was bound up by
Police Surgeon Osborne. 1t is a
straight stab between the fifth and
eix -{he ic will
be impossible to say until to-day
whether or not it is likely to prove
fatal.
The story of the affair as gathered
from the excited accounts of the col
ored eye-witneSses is that Menef1eld,
Clarence Bush and several other col
ored men were standing in one part of
the barroom singing to the accompa-
niment of a banjo while several others
danced, when E. Miner came in and
spoke to Menefield. The latter told
him to go away and Miner said some
thing about last week when 1 had
money" and brushed up to the party
again. Menefield showed him off and
Miner began cursing. He walked to
one side and E. ]. I've handed him
something, one of the accounts being
that it was the knife with which the
deadly work was done. Miner went
back and the row began in earnest.
Cordray came from behind the bar and
attempted to put the fighters out. 1t was
then that he was cut, he does not
know by which one of the party. The
crowd fell out of the doorway onto the
sidewalk and Bush says that he saw
Miner over the form of Menefeld cut
ting with stroke after stroke The
whole lot were sent to the barracks,
and after questioning Miner was lock-
ed up on a charge of assaulting and
stabbing Menefield and Mr. Cordray,
and I've was also detained as an ac-
cessory.

One Suspended 60 Days without Pay
and Another Must Regain Health.
The case of the three suspended let
ter carriers. Albert S. Lafayette, L.
NJ. Peasants, Jr., and Simeon g.
Webster, who were discharged from
the postoffice some weeks ago, but
whose dismissal was held up by judi
son Lyons, has finally been settled by
the Washington authorities, as stated
in the Morning News several days ago.
The men will retain their places.
In the case of Pleasant, Postmaster
Blum has been notified to suspend him
for sixty days without pay, and Pleas
ant himself has been warned that if
he is again brought to the attention
OF the department for any violations
Of the rules and regulations, he will be
summarily removed.
Lafayette gets off lighter. He has
been reprimanded for lettering, and
has been notified that but for the
fact of his long service and previous
good record, no Ieniency would have
been shown. Webster, against whom
the only charge was physical inabil-
1ty to do the work required of him,
has been given until October to re-
cover his health. If he is able to at
tend to his duties by that time he will
be restored to the force.
Postmaster Blum has been notified of
the departments decision in the mat
ter, of course, though really he had
nothing to do either with preferring
charges against the men or with the
suspension of dismissal after the mat
ter had come before the authorities at
Washington.
AS has been announced before in the
Morning News the charges were pre-
ferred by Inspector Smith, and that
after he had notified the men of the
complaints that he intended to make
against them and had given the car
riers to reply in writing to these COM

were then forwarded to Washington
On the day that the men We're dismiss
ed they wired Judson Lyons registrar
OF the treasury, and it was through
him and Col ]. H. Deveaux, who was
in Washington a few days ago, thai
the subsequent disposition of the cases
WAS made.

"sOme sound Sense Tor Reflection"
Remember that it is worry, not work
that kills. Get your life purposely in
sured, then you will stop worrying.
Those who are safely insured do live
longer, for they do not worry con-
corning the welfare of their wives and
the little ones Life insurance gives
protection continuously and instead of
being an expense it is in reality and
surely a saving of money. Even if you
are poor or in debt. you had best not
procrastinate, waiting for favora-
BILE time-it may never come. Life in
surance is the one thing the sheriff
cannot touch and its possession may
save many times it's value to your eS-
tate. 1t is better than trying to ac-
cumulate a competency in a savings
bank, gives equally as good, frequently
better, interest, with the protection
thrown in. 1t secures you compe-
tency for your own old age.
When you fail to insure your house,
you take all the chances, but when
you fail to insure your life, your wife
and babies take all the risk. Have
you ever had the laws of Massachu-
sets explained to you? They throw
more safeguards around policy-hold-
ers than the laws of any other state
in the Union. Let us tell you about
them. Send us your age and address
and we will interest you. -Harty &

Mr. Hugh Logan will be the means

barbecue. While away at Newberry,
S. c.. few weeks ago, he met Mr..
James A. Dunbar, noted for his skill
as a ''fixer" of barbecues. He will be
invited to come to Savannah and take
personal charge of the butchers cue
so that something fine may be expect
ed. He can't be beat" said Mr.. Lo-
GAM land the butchers will give the
best cue in the history of their asso-
citation as a result of Mr.. Dunbar's eff
forts.
There will probably be a few racing
events on the entertainment list The
interior of one of the buildings will be
especially lighted UP for a display
during the evening. The butchers ex-
pect at least 5000 persons to attend
They are preparing for the biggest pic

Members of the State Democratic

think that there should be primary,

LEONARD CASE UP AGAIN.
Taken to Supreme Court on Bill of
Exceptions.

Taken to Supreme Court on a Bill of
Exceptions.
In the Superior Court yesterday
bills of exception were filed in the case
of DENNIS M. Leonard. E. H. Leonard
and Richard Brown. The cases will be
carried to the Supreme Court on pau
per affidavits.
Exceptions are taken to the over
ruling of the demurrer in the case, and
nine other grounds of error are as
signed. Previous to the trial on a
charge of receiving stolen goods a de-
murrer was filed and argued. This
was overruled and the case went to
trial. A verdict of guilty with a rec
ommendation that the defendants be
punished as for a misdemeanor was
returned. The defendants are now out
under bond.
If the Supreme Court reverses the
ruling of Judge Barrow in refusing to
sustain the demurrer. the verdict and
judgment in the case will be set aside
and the defendants will be dismissed
Mr.. r. L. Colding. attorney for the
Leonards and Brown, is confident that
matters will take this turn.
