Mail Changes.
The local officials state that there is
to be but little change in the mail
service All Des Moines mail gather

received no, official notification it is
stated that both the Rock Island and

ed that the change in rates is to be-
come effective today.

SHOWERS OF STONES
FELL UPON LAB0RERS
Police Sergeant Had Close Call,
with Others, In YamacravV.

OAOso CAAAS
With Others, In Yamacraw.
Two showers of stones fell upon and
around negroes employed on the
wharves of the Merchants and Miners
Transportation Company and the Ocean
Steamship Company early last night.
The missiles We're hurled at a crowd
of negroes who were standing at the
entrance to the Merchants and Min
ers wharves, and several were hit.
One negro received a severe cash in
the head. and stevedores and officers
of the steamship company had mar
row escapes from injury.
Mounted Sergeat T. c. Murphy was
in the party and had a close call.
The uniformed men tried in vain to
locate those who threw the stones.
The strikers were in hiding and their
places of refuge could not be discov-
cred by the police who were thrown
into a state of activity as soon as
the stone throwing began. 1t appear
ed as if the missiles were hurled at
a given signal, for 1t was all over in
a moment. f,ai
Quite a number of shots were fired
in Yamacraw during the early part
of the evening, but so far as the po-
ice were able TO learn no one was
hit by any of the bullets. The fir
ing was spasmodic and occurred in
remote sections of the 'Craw Those
who caused all of the disorder found
no difficulty in escaping in the many
hooks and corners and the police had
a rather hard time of it for awhile.
No arrests were made.
In Police Court yesterday morning
those who were arrested in Yama-
craw the night before were severely
handled by the Recorder. James
Singleton, the negro who cursed and
abused ]. p. Harley, white, and took
a pistol from his pocket and pointed
it as him, was fined $25 or thirty
days on the changing, and remanded
for trial in the City Court for point
ing a pistol at another. Jim Wheeler
the negro who was picked up while
parading with an ak handle was fined
$25 or thirty days on the chaingang.
Joe Brown, cOlored, was fined IS or
thirty days on the changing for dis
order that he created, and was remand
ed for trial in the City Court for car
rying a concealed weapon.

ANOTHER DRAW.
Continued from Third Page.

Miller could have hoped for was a
draw.
White is a good strong boy, accus-
toned to going six and eight rounds,
and the distance was a little too long
for him last night. The first punch
he delivered, however evidenced the
fact that he was on to the game. If
he could have kept up his fast work he
would have won hands down.
Both men were continually on the
fouling line, keeping just far enough
away not to lose the decision on it.
White went low with his head, and
Miller used his elbow. However. these
are minor details that enter into every
fight more or less, and in a man
ner, they are part of the game. The
Police Gazette has offered a premium
of $500 to anyone who will prove that
in any bona fide contest between rep
utable boxers, where a decision is rem
dered on points, and the bout goes the
limit if both sides are satisfied. Fur
Their discussion is unnecessary.
Miller said last night that he would
never enter the ring in Savannah again.
Ju%S what his plans were he did
not say, but the decapitation of the
genus goose that lays the golden egg
leaves the matter in such definite
shape that there can be but one con-
clusion.
In making agreements for the con-
test White said that he was under the
impression that straight Marquis of
Queensbury rules We're to be observed.
He said he would never have agreed
to modified rules.
White will be matched to-day
against George Krall, of Philadelphia
who was introduced to the audience
last night. Krall is a good man and
comes highly recommended. He and
White will make a good match
The preliminary event. an eight
round go between Young Jolly and
Kid Lee was stopped by the referee
in the second round to save Lee pun
ishment, the experience of the club
having been that even though an au-
dience may, in it's excitement. shout
let them fight, will condemn such prac-
tees of letting one man hammer an
other into insensibility when he is
clearly all out. Lee was at Jolly's
mercy, and had the bout been allow
ed to continue might have approach
ed that stage so fatal to the pursuit
of boxing as an artistic and scientific
exhibition.
