his capture after three Intellectual at
tempts, and only after three persons
had been shot and others injured. is
still green in the minds of the public.
He is now held under six charges of
assault with intent to murder, and the
outlook is that he will spend the re-
mainder of his natural life in the peni-
tentiary.
One of the most interesting prisoners
is Joe Miller, the negro who created so
much talk by his connection with the
Potter case, and who claimed to have
been near at hand when the murder
was committed. The manner in which
the man acted has caused the authori-
ties to believe that while he has some
knowledge of the killing he has not
yet diVulged it, but has rather attempt
ed to lead the officers down a blind
road.
Scarcely less interesting is Rosa Tut
ty, the notorious negress who has the
distinction of possessing a white hus-
band. 1t is on bail trover proceedings
instituted by her husband in order to
recover $4,000 worth of bonds which he
claims she has made away with, that
she is incarcerated. The negress claims
to be a trained nurse. lecturer, a
saw mill operator and the president
of an orphan institution. Certain it is
that she is an unusually smart woman.
the Jail the history of whose cases
is interesting. Some of these
are held for contempt because they
failed to pay to their wives
the amount of alimony stipulated by
the court. Others are held for gam
bling and Vagrancy, while the most
common charge is that of assault with
intent to murder and cheating and
swindling
There is but one United States pris-
oner in the Jail. There are nine luna
ties, of which number four are white
Some of these are awaiting trial, while
others have been committed to the
asylum and are only waiting until they
are notified that there is room for them
at Milledgeville.
The Jail Hospital.
There are four prisoners in the
Jail hospital on the fourth floor This
department is a new, but most neces-
sary, adjunct to the institution, and
during the short term of it's existence
has demonstrated it's practicability
The patients are, as a rule, the con-
victs from the camps, whose
condition demands regular medical at
tention. A regular physician is in
charge, the salary of the county physi-
clan, DR.. Keller, having been raised a
short while ago on account of the ad-
ditional service required of him by the
institution of the hospital
The Jail buildings have recently been
renovated and a new coat of paint or
whitewash added. There is little doubt
but that the report of the committee
of the grand jury will be in every way
favorable to the institution.

MOON ALMOST TOTALLY
ECLIPSED TONIGHT

bright limb will be visible at the time
of greatest observation.
The moon will rise at 6: :46 o'clock or
just at sunset, about 71a degrees south
of the east point of the horizon. The
shadows of the trees cast by the set
ting sun will point to the exact place
on the horison where the moon will
rise.
The time of greatest observation will
occur twenty-seven minutes after the
moon has risen above the horizon, so
that the eclipse may be easily seen by
all without the aid of glasses.
AS the eclipse occurs in the early
evening, every one will be afforded a
convenient opportunity for observing
the phenomenon. The circular shadow
of the earth projected upon the moon
will be plainly seen as one of the
proofs of the earth's rotundity, and
many other interesting features MAY
be observed.
There will not be another eclipse,
either of the sun or the moon visible
in this country for the next two years.
