LIVELY FRACAS AT BRIDGEVILLE.
Negroes Had II In For John Griffith and Made
an Attempt For His Life.

John Griffith of Georgetown, Della
ware, an enlisted man of Company F,
during the Spanish American War,
was set upon by a gang of negroes at
Bridgeville, last Tuesday night, but
used his pistol with such effect that
one of his assailants is dead and three
others are severely wounded. Griffith
escaped with slight injury.
Several months ago Sheriff Steel, of
Sussex County, visited Bridgeville to
arrest William Polk, negro desper-
ado, and took Griffith with him as
deputy. Polk made a murderous
assault upon the sheriff and was shot
down by Griffith. Polk was then
taken to the county Jail, at George
town, where he died of his wounds.
Griffith recently secured employ
ment with Sun Bros circus, which
showed at Bridgeville last Tuesday.
The negroes were bent on avenging
Folks death, and made several efforts
to get Griffith in their power. After
the show Tuesday night they found
him alone and attacked him, but
Griffith took shelter from their shots
behind a dry goods box, and opened
fire on the mob with such effect that
he soon drove them off. 1t is believed
that several others are injured besides
the four who were known to have
fallen before Griffith's pistols. George
Jones was killed outright, and Henry
and Polk Moore and Moses Hardesty
were so severely wounded that they
had to be carried home. Polk Moore's
death is probable. Griffith emptied
the chambers of two revolvers twice
before he drove back the mob, and the
dry goods box which sheltered his
body was shattered by several pistol
balls from the mob, but he miraculous
ly escaped with only slight wound.

"PrOfessOr" Keunard Performs Operations.


Patients are taken in by the medical
department of the College every day,
and only day or so ago a serious op-
GRAFTON, involving the removal of
tumor, was performed upon a young
girl by Professor" Kennard, whose on
ly medical education, according to his
own statement to a News reporter, was
received at his own College-under
whose instruction has not been dis
covered. Another somewhat unpleas-
ant aspect of the institution to some
people in the large number of white
persons who go there for treatment.
Fully dozen, suffering from various
ailment, were seen there the other
morning, and all received little doses
of pills in return for a small fee.
What percentage of cures are accom-
plished among the patients is not
known. Professor" Kennard says
that it is Every good percentage"
The institution is located in a small
three-story building, and the wards
consist of small bedrooms, each con-
tanning two beds, so close together as
to hardly admit of passing between.
There are also two classrooms, fitted
up with school desks, where the future
masters of art and doctors of medicine
and divinity get their instruction for
$50 year. The labratory has an i'm
posing and odoriferous array of bot
ties, and the medical class room is
tastily decorated with two skulls, from
which it is presumed that the future
doctors gain their knowledge of
human anatomy. There is also a
clinical amphitheatre, where the
operations are performed for the bene.
fit of the students by Dr.. Kennard.
This is perhaps the cleanest of all the
rooms; but the word "cleanest'' is
meant only by comparison. AS a gen
eral rule there is plenty of dust about
and the patients-most of whom seen
to be whlte-who come to the dispen
sary are squalid and unkempt. Wha
makes this institution still more re
markable is the fact that the john
Hopkins Hospital and the North
eastern Dispensary are only a shor
distance away.-BaLtimOre EUenint

S5 For Degree Of D. D.

But there is still another depart
ment, and in this the prospective pupil
may get a degree of bachelor of divinity
for So and a certain amount of study.
All you have to do is to put So for an
entrance fee, take course of reading
at home, and submit essays and
syllabi from time to time, and 10! in
two years, or maybe sooner, according
to the catalogue, you are full-fedged
preacher. If you want that degree
very badly, you must put up So in ad-
dition to your 50 deposited ON entrance
so as to pay for the diploma.
But it is not the "linguistal," aca-
demic and theological departments of
this wonderful institution that fill the
reader with something more than cas-
ual curiosity. The pupils of these four
men, according to the catalogue, are
given cases to attend before gradua-
ton, and they are allowed to treat
them themselves, while the skilled
gentlemen stand by in case of emer-
gency. Furthermore, there are many
States in the Union that have not yet
adopted laws providing for a State ex-
animation before license to practise
is issued, and there is nothing to pre-
vent pupil of this College from visit
ing another State, with these degrees
tackled on to his name, and beginning
the practice of medicine there. So
serious a matter is this considered by
one of the most reputable physicians
in Baltimore that he has written and
will soon publish in the Medical j Journ-
al description of the "Christ's In
stitution of Baltimore City" and the
way in which degrees are obtained
there. Next Tuesday the third annual
commencement of the College will oc-
cur, and on that date at least five
students will be admitted to the title
of NJ. D., while seven nurses certif-
Gates will be issued to as many young
colored women.

Specially Of Damage Cases. "

Another member of the faculty is a
white man, Attorney William F. Tuck
er, who is a lecturer on medical juris-
prudence, and whose business card
asserts that he "makes a speciality of
damage cases." This completes the
medical department of the College. In
the ''linguistal" department, in which
the Romance languages are taught,
the catalogue shows that Prof. John
f. d. Brown, who couldn't write his
name three years ago, is now professor
of ''linguistal, whatever that caba-
listic term may signify. Mary Voll

MIR. walkers electrical Work.

Editor Morning News: A short time
since charge against the electrical in
spector of this city were looked into
by his honor the Mayor, and certain
members of the Fire Committee, on ac-
count of alleged Determinations in fav-
or of one particular firm doing business
as electricians here. The instance in
which these Determinations were
charged was for concessions allowed
and violations of the National Code
Rules, which it was charged the cleo
trical inspector and his assistant had
wilfully permitted in the new Citizens
Bank building on the northwest corner
of Liberty and Montgomery streets.
The charges against Messrs. Mcguire
and Hancock is no concern of mine,
but when one of the papers of
this city mot the Morning News)
gave publicity to statements which are
wholly untrue, and which have a
tendency to injure my business,
1 feel that have 'kick coming"
Every person who passed the Citi-
zens' Bank building during the course
of its construction could see what
company was doing the electrical work
by the advertising sign place there,
and when the statement was made that
there had been discovered serious de-
fects in this work, my company be-
came seriously affected. The work had
been done under the supervision OF our
superintendent who has had many
years of experience, and who is to-
day, the most competent and up-to-date
electrician in the state of Georgia.
The work was inspected day in and day
out by Mr.. Hancock, the assistant
electric inspector of the city, and I
hold his certificate of perfect and sat
isfactory work done in strict accord
ance with the rules. The charges were,
as [ understand, made by certain of my
competitors.
l am surprised that his honor, the
Mayor, would allow such reports or
statements to be made public in the
absence of positive evidence of their
CORRECTNESS. We have been and are doing
the electrical work for Messrs. M. S.
Byck. Joseph Rosenheim, Henry
Schroeder and DR.. John w. Daniel and
many others having handsome and
costly residences erected, and in the
presence of such statements in the
public print 1 cannot blame these gen.
tlemen from having at least a slight
anxiety about their wiring.
When the charges were made public
I at once telegraphed to Mr.. Schoen,
chief inspector for the Southea stern
Tariff Association, and requested his
closest scrutiny of this installation, al
though I was sure that Mr.. Hancock's
certificate was absolute evidence that
the work had been properly executed.
Mr.. Schoen has been here and after
careful inspection he gives me the fol-
lowing certificate:
Savannah, Ga, May /, 1903.-Mr.
Jos. S. Walker, Proprietor Electric
Supply Company, city. My inspection
of the new Citizens Bank building,
this city, demonstrates that the work
has been properly installed.

Chief Electrician S. E. T. A.
L presume out local electrical inspec-
tor has secured a similar certificate.
