CHAPTER XXI.
Pope's Death.


Nothing that Pope was capable of
could have raised him SO high in the
opinion of Laura as his going over
board to save the little black baby.
He joined her IN the cabin after he
had talked with Crystal up above, and
they sat together over bottle of
champagne and biscuits.
He could not be mistaken; he was
Turing her into an admiration that was
fast turning into love. Unfortunately
in the middle of one of his fervent
speeches the baby began to cry.
This won't do" says Pope, break
ing off, none of us will sleep with
that yelper in the thick of u.s."
Laura entered her cabin and patted
the little black creature into silence.
AS she came out, Crystal descended
the companion-steps-for a drink;
always for drink His strong voice
again awoke the baby, and once more
Laura patted 1t to sleep again.
eve shan't get any rest If that
black rattle is going to spring every
ten minutes" says Crystal What
did you want to save 1t for, Dick?"
For shame, cousin!" exclaimed
Laura, coming to the table.
Then says Pope, the tone of the
commander tircturing his utterance:
1--WE must have the child out of this.
He shall go into the 'tween-decks. The
men will make pet of him. All
ships companies like to have a pet,
and a baby is as good as a monkey"
After breakfast the captain conduct
ed Laura on deck, placed a chair for
her in the shadow of the trysail, and
put few newspapers on the plank be-
side her. 1t was Crystals watch be-
low; and when the square man had
finished his meal, he entered the
berth to lie down and sleep.
you have been so very kind to
me, Captain Pope" said Laura, some.

paper in her lap round and round,

you any question which might convey

sci was burning hull down below the
horizon, and that some large clouds
hanging over the sea just there were
bronzed by the flames.
II am going below to get my sup
per-" says Crystal, and he sank
through the companionhatch.
"Put her off for that light" sings
out Pope to the wheel. And then he
bawled out for some men to round in
on the weather mainbrace and trim
for the light on the horizon.
Crystal came on deck out Of the
cabin. He had supped heartily and
drank deeply. His temper was a lit
tie cooler; he had made up his mind,
had matured his scheme, and felt
sure of himself. He went to the rail,
put his head over, and took a view of
the burning sky under the bow.
Johnny" says Pope. coming with
Laura to his side, your cousin sug
gets that yonder ships the Alnwick
Castle. If SO, I'll burn my books, for
after the Madre the deluge."
"Are ships so few that she should
be the Alnwick CASTER" replied Crys-
tall "Shes no big ship, that"
The vision Of hawk was lodged
under Crystals eyelids, and he never
saw better than when he was well
primed with liquor. He steadied the
glass, and the lenses turned crimson
in his eye.
"You can see her coming and 60
ing amid her fires" says he, in
raven tone. Something with two
masts; no West Indiaman, anyhow.
What shall you do If you fall in with
her people?''
II shall want to know who they
are" responded Pope, letting the
glass drop from his eye. "She seems
to be schooner. She may prove
pirate. We don't want to enter any
more pirates among us. They might
rise and cut our threats, which would
be hard luck"
In about half an hour from this
time, for the breeze continued to
gush very steadily, they could trace
the outline of the vessel in her own
flames with the naked eye. And now
Pope's glass resolved her into fine
large schooner.
Another half hour passed; 1t was
nard upon half an hour after nine. The
vessel over the bows was still burn
ing furiously; she was then perhaps
mile distant.
"we can do no good" says Pope.
Shift the helm for our course, Mr..
Crystal, and brace to 1t.
Let us draw little closer" ex-
claimed Laura, "ft is a marvellous
sight"
Another quarter of an hour passed;
Pope then directed Crystal to shift
the helm of the briggs course. just
as he spoke the words the vessel blew
up; 1t was like a sudden flash of light
ming followed by slowly-swelling
cloud of midnight blackness, with the
rich spangles in it dying swiftly. In
a few minutes the cloud was moving
away on the wind, and you could see
the black plain of waters shuddering
under it to the vague, almost eclipsed
sea-line.
All on sudden a loud shout was
raised by several voices forward.
Look out for what's coming along"
Jesus help me, if 1t amt woman

whats that she's got a-holding in
her hand9"
"Oh!' shrieked Laura, ut Is black
woman, and she is holding up ner
baby to US. oh, save her! Oh, save
.her!"
! The phosphor sheeted so plentifully
that you could see the black swim
ming woman as distinctly as you
might see the outline Of your own

THEATRICAL.
Another Comedy Triumph Was Scored
Last Night.

When the Slime and Evans comedy

The success of "Mama's New Hus-
band" was followed by an even greater
triumph in Browns In Town." and

triumphant march, they staged last

OLIVER0S MUST BE
TRIED ONCE MORE.
Judge Bnrrow's Action Is Sustained

Judge Barrov's Action Is Sustained
by the Supreme Court.
A telegram received by the Morning
News from Atlanta yesterday an
nounced that the Supreme Court had
affirmed the opinion of Judge Barrow
in the Oliveros case. The case attract
ed considerable interest both because
of the prominence of the accused and
because of the unique point involved.
The opinion of the court, the text of
which is here given, will prove interest
ing. The opinion was delivered by JUS
tice Turner, in these words:
where the judge of the Superior
Court of his own motion, for express
ing his opinion as to the weight of GER
tain testimony, declares that he will
order a mistrial in criminal case, the
defendant has no right 10 demand a
verdict of acquittal.
IAN exception to grant Of mistrial
is premature, because such grant of
a mistrial leaves the case pending in
the court below. Judgment affirmed.
Twiggs & oliver, for plaintiff, In error.
w. w. Osborne, solicitor general, con-
ira.
The case is familiar to Savannahians.
!. r. Oliveros was indicted for larceny
after trust from the Atlantic Coast
Line. He was arraigned and tried.
During the progress of the trial the
prosecuting attorney introduced in evil
dence an express receipt, purporting to
show the receipt of certain money by
Mr.. Oliveros. Defendants counsel OBJ
jeCted to the Introduction of the evil
dence on the ground that it was not
the best evidence procurable. At this
juncture the court expressed it as his
opinion that it would be impossible to
secure better evidence.
On the following morning when the
case was called for trial, the court,
recognizing his error in expressing an
opinion relative to the weight of the
evidence, withdrew the case from the
consideration of the jury and declared
a. mstrial. To this the defendants
counsel objected, and moved the court
TO direct verdict of acquittal; which
the court refused to do.
In it's opinion the Supreme Court de-
clares that the defendant has no right
to demand an acquittal, and that any
exception to the grant of the mistrial
is premature because such a grant
would leave the case still pending in
the court below. The effect of the de-
cision is that Oliveros will be tried
again. IT

Mr.. Nail arrived yesterday, having
come direct from Cincinnati via the
Southern Railway. He says that on
Monday the day he left there, 5000
tickets had been sold to people coming
to the South to settle. So great was
the travel on the train on which he
was, that it was necessary to operate
it in two sections.
These intended settlers in the South

heartily Wnen the latter Was COI6I dlo-
lating him.
Was 1t Knockout Blow!
There were many who did not be-
lieve that the blow Thompson delivered
was of the knockout variety. Some
said that the conclusion of Miller's
head with the floor was what put him
to the bad. and Miller himself said
that the blows themselves did not hurt
him.
To these it may be said that a little
more steam behind the left punch to
the stomach would have sent the Bal
timore boy over the ropes. 1t was
straight, with the force of every pound
of bone and muscle in Thompson's
body straight behind it. 1t landed just
below the chest bone, directly in that
spot invented for the famous solar
plexus thump. 1t was delivered lit
tie to the left, turning Miller slightly
in that direction as he went to the
floor. He struck first with his Shout
der and head, and it is hardly prob
able that the conclusion of his head
with the floor was sufficient to pro-
duce unconSciousneSs.
After he went to his dressing room
Miller said that he felt as well as he
did before he went into the ring, and
could not explain how he succumbed so
quickly.
ThOmDsOn's WallOp.
Bobby Thompson undoubtedly has
the hardest punch of any man his
weight who has ever entered the ring
here. This he has developed within the
last year, though he has always been
known as a hard hitting, two-handed
fighter He is aggressive up to the
point where he sees there is no use to
waste strength, and then he foots it
out of danger.
There was hardly enough fighting
lest night to draw a line on his ring
generalship, but the little while that
he had his hump on it was evident
that he had his plans well laid out,
and knew Just how to execute them.
He has faced many good men, and has
only two defeats against him.
Battle Royal Was Slow.
The battle royal, which preceded the
mill, was a little slow. and there Seem
ed to be an understanding between two
of the four negroes who went into the
ring. They pounded the other two I'M
til they were ready to crawl away from
the punishment, and then engaged
themselves in short bout in which
there was little hitting.
To be successfully produced these ex-
hibitions should have new material
every time. as the men soon learn to
make agreements among themselves
and interest is lost.
Thompson to Meet White.
Cub White. one of the fastest men
in Philadelphia. will arrive in Savau
nah tomorrow to be ready to meet
Thompson next Wednesday night.
Mulha1l was to have met Thompson
on that date, but the night before he
was to sail for Savannah he met White,
and was licked in two rounds, so the
representative of the Savannah Athletic
Club in Philadelphia substituted Whlte'
White is a fast two-handed fighter,
and with this new material to arrange
matches between. there is promise of
good sport here this fall.

$1,000 INTEREST ON
$1,000 DEBT

Plaintiff Claims Right to Recover
Interest on InstaIImeDts of Interest.
The case of Jordan F. Brooks, admin
fstrator of the estate of F. x. Nous
seau, against C. P. Miller, executor
of the estate of A. ]. Miller, was heard
in the Superior Court yesterday.
Sixteen years ago Miller went on
Mousseau's bond as guardian for two
minor children. In order to secure Mil
Ter he gave him $1,000 in cash and took
a mortgage on the Miller residence on
Perry street, near Whitaker. When
Mousseau was discharged as guardian
he applied to Miller for the $1,000,
which Miller refused to pay, saying
that Mousseau was Indebted to him In
that amount. and more.
Suit was instituted in the City Court.
After pending many years, during
which time it found its way to 'the
Supreme Court three times. in each
of which instances the court upheld
the contentious of Mousseau, the prin-
cipal question was decided last year.
The present proceedings are for the
purpose of foreclosing the mortgage
on the realty.
There is no resistance to the general
claim. Miller, as executor acknowl-
edges that he owes $1,000 principal and
$4,000 interest. The plaintiffs, on the
other hand, claim about $1,000 interest.
The question before the court is
whether the plaintiff is entitled to re-
cover interest in the installments of
interest. The argument was not con-
Guided yesterday, but will be resumed
to-day Judge Samuel B. Adams, APP
pears for the plaintiff and ]. r. Saussy,
Esq, for the defendant.
