Pleased Two More Large Crowds,
Matinee and Evening.
After showing to two more large
crowds yesterday the John Robinson
circus pulled up stakes and left last
night for Brunswick.
In the Robinson show there was
much to praise. The criticisms that
have been heard were nearly all fav-
orable. The equestrian acts were pro-
nounced by all as the best ever seen
IN Savannah. Such a thing as wom-
an rider turning a somersault on a
rapidly galloping horse has never been
seen here before, and the other feats
performed by Miss Lolita, the premier
female equestrian were unexcelled.
Many exhibitions of trained seals
have been seen here, but the perform
ance put up by Prof. Winston is easily
the best. The clud swing, which many
people missed in watching the numer-
Gus other attractions, all going at the
same time, is one of the most perilous
feats ever attempted, and has elected
applause all over the country

NEGRO BOY KILLED
WITH VITRIFIED BRICK.
Struck by His Playmate Thursday
Night and Died Yesterday.

Night and Died Yesterday.
Hit on the head with a brick Thurs
day night, Robert Johnson, a negro
boy, died yesterday afternoon. The
case was not reported to the police
until after II o'clock in the morning,
though the boy was unconscious from
the time he was struck until he died.
George Wade, the boy who threw the
brick which resulted in Johnson's
death, has skipped. it is believed. The
police. anyway, have so far been IN
able to locate him. The case is pecu-
liar in many respects, and it is said to
have been an uncle of the wounded
boy who persuaded Wade to run away.
Nothing is known of the difficulty
which led to the killing. The two boys
had for years been the best of friends.
They were playing in the street Thurs
day night together, when the difficulty
took place. What led to it is not
known. The first that was known of
the affair was when Wade struck
Johnson with a vitriied brick. The
wounded boy was carried to his home,
condition, and a physician was sum-
moned 1T was seen at once that the
boy was in a serious condition, though
1t was not thought that he would die.
Yesterday morning Wade, who had
thrown the brick, called at the home
of the boy who was wounded to see
how he was getting along. It was
known then that there was very little
chance for his recovery, and an uncle
of Johnson is alleged to have advised
Wade to skip town. 1t is believed that
he has done so. as the police have been
unable to locate him. Had he not run
away it is probable that he would have
gotten off very lightly. as it is not
thought that he intended to kill his
companion.
Coroner Keller, who was notified of
the death, decided not to have any in
quest. Both boys were about Ia years
of age.

STREET OPENING FIGHT
GOES OVER A YEAR.
Very Little Chance of the Matter
Coming Up Again This Year.

coming Up Again This ear.
1t is very probable that the city will
take no further action in regard to
Thirty-fifth street until after the first
of next January. The matter can, of
course, be brought up at any time in
Council by a member of the majority
moving to reconsider Councils former
action, which laid the matter on the
table until next year. But there is
little likelihood now of any of the al
dermen changing their positions i'll the
matter.
The two aldermen who were absent
from the last meeting, Aldermen Oliver
and Canty, are said to have stood one
for and one against the opening of the
street, so that their presence would
have made no difference in the result.
There is absolutely no chance now of
getting the street opened before the
first of the year, unless the property
owners agree to sell for much less than
the price offered at the last meeting.
Alderman Glatigny, who led the fight
for the opening of the street, will not
attempt to have the matter brought up
again before next January, unless the
owners should agree to reduce their
prices, which is not likely.
