NEGRO BRAKEMAN
BEAT CONDUCTOR
ON MOVING SEAB0ARD TRAIN.
CONDUCTOR DUNCAN L. JOHNSTON
BADLY INJURED NEAR RINCON.

He Was Attacked by His Negro
brakeman, John Martin, Who
Made His Escape-WOunded Man
Is Now at EstiII, s. Cit Was Rt
First Reported That Conductor
Would Probably Die-Later InfOr-
nation Showed That His Con-
ditfon Is Not So Serious.
In a difficulty with his negro brake
man. Conductor Duncan L. Johnston,
OF the Seaboard Air Line. was so bad
ly injured that it was thought yester-
day morning he would die.
The attack took place between sa-
vannah and Rincon, on the second Sec
ton of train No. g. which left Sa-
vannah Friday night. John Martin,
the negro brakeman, made his escape.
All the details of the affair could not
be learned here, and it is not known
what caused the attack. The story
reported in Savannah was to the eff
feet that Martin slipped UP behind
Conductor Johnston and hit him over
the head with a heavy stick.
A number of blows were struck and
the conductor was badly beaten. There
are several wounds about his head, and
it was thought for some time that he
could not recover. He was carried
on to Estill, S. c., and left there,
where he is receiving medical atten-
ton. There are several scalp wounds,
but the skull was not fractured, ac-
cording to the latest information.
The attack upon the conductor is
thought to have taken place while the
train was running between stations,
though the officials here are not GER
tain. The negro, it is thought, jump
ed from the moving train and made
his escape. A lantern was found near
the tracks by Section Foreman Hunter,
and had evidently been used in the
scuffie. 1t was covered with blood and
hair.
The police here were notified to
watch out for Martin. He has not,
however, been located. 1t is not thought
that he returned to Savannah, as he
is known here and would stand lit
tie chance of escaping the officers.
When the police were notified, it was
believed that Conductor Johnston would
die
Conductor Johnston is we'll known
here. He resides at No. 1910 West
Broad.

The case of the state against Henry
G.. Greene, charged with shooting Pa
trolman C. A. Collins with intent to
commit murder, which was assigned
for trial tomorrow in the Superior

is familiar to readers Of the Morning
News.

mary of the case has been published in
the Morning News heretofore.

ored, will be tried for murder, and on
the day following the slayers of Wylly
Jones. colored, will stand trial.

several burglary cases, and one larceny
after trust. One man will stand trial
for forgery.

SAILORS ON SWEDISH
BARK WERE INJURED
Anchor Chain Slipped and Threw
Men on Deck.

Men on Deck.
Several sailors on the Swedish bark
Robertsfors, anchored at Tybee. were
seriously injured early Friday morn
ing while the vessel was anchored at
sea several miles off Tybee.
The bark arrived during the night,
and Capt. Johansson dropped anchor
to await the arrival of the pilot boat.
During the night a heavy wind was
= blowing, and the anchor chain slip
ped, causing the vessel to rock vio-
lently, and throwing the second mate
and two sailors across the deck, rem
dering them insensible, and inflicting
an ugly wound on the face of the Sec
ond mate.
Capt. Johansson rushed on deck and
was thrown against the side of the
boat and his face was bruised. 1t was
nearly half hour before the crew sue
ceeded in making the anchor fast.
When the pilot boat arrived the in
Jured men were carried to Tybee and
a physician called in.
Capt. Johansson spent yesterday in
the city, He had a fine voyage from
Cape Town, making the trip in forty
days. This is one Of the fastest trips
on record. The vessel is now anchored
at Tybee, waiting orders, and will
probably be ordered to Fernandina to-
day,
Two years ago, while this vessel was
making a trip from Savannah to Cape
Town, it encountered a rough sea $50
miles northwest of Nassau and the
captain, first mate and several men,
bers of the crew were washed over
board. Capt. Johansson was then
second mate on the vessel. and he
was also washed off the deck by a
wave, and then washed back again.
He took charge of the vessel and COM
pleted his voyage. AS a reward for
his services he was made captain of

STRIKERS USE FORCE
ON NON-UNl0N MEN.
Police Had to he Called Upon to
Prevent Trouble.

Prevent Trouble.
An attack was made on one of the
non-union electricians who arrived in
the city from Charleston to accept a
position with the Electric Supply and
Construction Company yesterday, it is
alleged by the strikers.
The police were called in, but before
the uniformed men arrived the nom
union man had disappeared and the
row was ended. The police were I'M
able to secure sufficient evidence to
make an arrest.
1t is claimed by the manager of the
company that the strikers were sta
toned on every corner near the office
on Drayton street during the day and
succeeded in getting several of the
non union men brought here to leave
the city.
Mr. Joseph Walker, the manager Of
the company, says he has secured sew
eral men from Atlanta and Augusta,
and by Monday he will have at least
nine or ten men at work. He has
secured several men in North Caro-
lima and three in Charleston, and by
the middle of the week, he says, he
will have a full force Of men.
Both union and non-union men will
be employed to take the places of the
men who went out on the strike. Mr.
Walker declares that under no consid-
Grafton will terms be made with the
strikers. He says their demands were
unjust and that since they walked out
without notice he will secure other men
to take their places. He said he was
not making a fight on the unions, but
that in the future, as in the past, he
will reserve the right to employ any
competent man. regardless of whether
he is a member of the union.
1t is said that the strikers are using
every effort to persuade the recruits
brought here from other cities not to
accept positions with the company,
and are paying the railroad fare of
all men who agree to leave the city.
One of the men on strike denied that
Mr.. Walker pays more than $3.50 a
day to his men, and insists that he is
fighting the union.

BAY STREET MEN
WANT STREET IMPROVED.
VIII Ask City Council to DO Some
More Paving.

VIII Ask City Council to Do Some
More Paving.
The merchants along the north side
of Bay street, between Jefferson and
Whitaker streets, think that while the
city is making Improvements 1t should
do something for their interests.
They want the space between their
stores and offices and the sidewalk of
Bay street properly paved, with brick
if possible, though any sort of sub
stitute would be better than nothing.
Some of them in discussing the mat
ter yesterday said they felt that this
time is particularly apropos to bring
the matter to the attention of the
city, as 1t would detract from the
beauty of the City Hall to have so
near it a section of street so badly in
need of improvements. They will
bring the matter TO the attention of
the authorities in the form of a pc
tition which is now being prepared.
