GRIFFIN PEOPLE
WERE ENRAGED
AGAINST A NEGRO BRUTE
WHO TWICE ATTEMPTED CRIMI-
NAL ASSAULT.

One of His Intended Victims Was
Een-The other Was "A COlOred
WOman-JOhn Grant Was the Ne
gro Suspected-He Was Arrested
and Taken Away by the Sherin
Because of Lynching Talk.
Griffin, Ga, Sept. 10.-Gnffin was
thrown into a furore of excitement
this morning when it became known
that the wife of a we'll known citizen
was the victim of an attempted Grim
inal assault. About o'clock the
lady was awakened by some one, and
thinking it was her husband, who oc-
cupied another room, she spoke to
him. Receiving no reply she again
addressed him. when the man sprang
through an open window, and made
his escape.
The alarm was given and officers
went to the scene to investigate. Lat
er on a colored woman reported to
the police that John Grant, a negro
about rs years of age, had forced an
entrance into her daughters room and
attempted to criminally assault her.
Sheriff Freeman and officer Williams
went to Grants home and finding he
was not there, lay in wait and arrest
ed him a moment later as he attempt
ed to steal into the house. The ne
gro v"s placed in jail and the officers,
aifter closely examining the tra,cle
made by the man at both places where
the attempted assaults were made.
were convinced that Grant was the
guilty one in each case.
Owing to the early hour very few
people knew OF the affair until sher-

than friendship between them, and that
his consent to their marriage was de-
sired. He at once made decided OBJ
jections. He had nothing against the
young soldier. but he did not wish his
daughter exposed to the hardships
which might befall a soldiers wife,
with which he was acquainted. So he
refused to consent to the marriage.
Miss Taylor was willing to favor any
future with Davis, but she was an ODE
dent daughter so instead of planning
to elope she set about winning her
father. Despite her entreaties, the fu-
ture conqueror of Mexico and Presi-
dent could not see good reason for his
daughter to marry Davis. He stub
bornly refused.
Miss Taylor did not give up. She
had one ally, her aunt. Elizabeth Tay-
lor, who had married a gentleman OF
her own name and lived near Louis
Vile. Miss Taylor went to visit her,
and at the same time Davis came to
Louisville.
Elizabeth Taylor was a great fav-
orite with her brother, Zachary. She
was fond of her niece and sympathized
with the young people, who were so
very much in love.
She added her entreaties to theirs
and also her arguments as to why two
another and were willing to take what
the future held should not be prevented
from marrying because of altogether
possible hardships.
The allies finally triumphed, although
Gen. Taylor never really agreed TO the
match. All he did was to announce
that If they wished to be married in
his sisters house he would not ofrer
any active objections.
So the wedding took place at Mrs.
Elizabeth Taylor's home. The license
was procured in Louisville and the
records for 1885 contain the fact that
it was issued to jefferson Davis ana
Miss Knox Taylor, of legal age, daugn-
ter os Zacharia Taylor" The certin-
cate was not returned, so 1t is not
known what minister performed the
ceremony.
The couple left Mrs. Taylor's house
for Davis home in Mississippi. But
before the honeymoon waned rue had
displaced the orange blossoms. the
bride could not stand the Mississippi
climate. Almost as soon as she reach-
ed the place she was taken i'll with
malaria fever. In three months she
was dead.

stitution of the country, and he would
have to be genius in cunning who
could now hope to succeed in his de-
signs upon it. The Barmash trial of
some time ago proved that even Sch
midt-acknowledged to be the cleverest
bank-note forger that ever manufac-
tured a flash" note-could not succeed
in passing his all, but perfect imita-
tons over the counter of the bank.
They succeeded in deceiving the cashiers
of some of the outside banks, but when
they finally reached the Bank of Eng
lands counters they entirely failed.
From this 1t will be realized WHY the
bank needs to be watched and guard
ed every moment of the day by men
whose actions are as swift as their
trained wits are keen.
See All Going and Coming.
AS has been already said, they are
rarely seen until they are wanted. In
the wall which divides the main en-
trance into two portals is constructed
sitting box of joinery and glass. and
here, facing each other. in constant
readiness, the two officers sit through
out the day. The one with his back
toward Threadneedle street can OBJ
serve every person who leaves the bank,
whether on his right hand or on his
left: the other with his face toward
the street, can similarly see every per-
son who enters through the gates. But
neither incomer nor outgoer can see
the two watchers until he comes al
most abreast of the box.
1t is when the clock of the Royal Ex-
change strikes 3 p. M, heralding the
last hour of business. that the officers
are most alert. for it is in the hustle
of the last hour. especially of the last
half hour that anything may happen.
One rogue may hope to pass a stop
ped note, a second may attempt to pass
forgery. a third may be looking for
an opportunity to whip off somebody's
cash bag and a fourth may try to loaf
unobserved until the doors are closed.

cncts until s o'clock. his colleague be-

and there is every justification for the
extended precaution. When the detec-

DUBLIN TO VOTE ON BONDS
S45.0OO Issue Planned for Municipal
improvements.

Dublin, Ca, Sept. 10.-There will be
a bond election in Dublin Oct. 10. 1t
is the desire of the city authorities to
issue bonds to the amount of $4,000
for the following purposes: Twenty
thousand dollars for the purpose of
erecting a city hall; $4,000 for the pur-
pose of extending the water mains of
the city and extending the sewer sys-

GUARDING BANK OF ENGLAND.
Two Acute Detectives Always On
Duty, Though Invisible.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
1t is commonly known that a COM
pany of the Brigade of Guards mounts
duty within the Bank of England ev-
cry night. The men, with a diminu-
tive bugler at their head and COM
manded by an officer. may be seen
marching from Wellington barracks,
along the Thames embankment, into
the city every evening. not even Sun
day or the merry night of Christmas
being allowed to break the rule.
But it is hardly known at all how
the bank is watched and guarded
throughout the day. Thousands
swarm past its portals every weekday
hour, never suspecting the presence
of two men who are invisible, yet who
are so close to the traffic of the street
that they might almost arrest the pass
ing pedestrian with outstretched hand.
These two men are detective officers
of the city police. and from 8 o'clock
in the morning till the bank closes they
never leave their postal least, not
together. II one has occasion to be
absent for a moment, the other always
remains; but, generally speaking, they
face each other the whole day long.
May BE Needed Any Time.
Why are they there? The explana-
ton is that there is never any knowl-
edge when they may be wanted. There
is a species of gentry to whom the
Bank of England is always prime
game. Bank notes, again, forrvarious
good reasons, are always being stop-
ped, and there is never a moment when
a stopped note may not be presented
by shady character. When this hap

animation of the state auditors office,
and what does 1t come to? The
worst that can be said Of the invests
cation, which is strictly in line with
the duties of the public examiners de-

poses
The investigation was first under
taken by the legislature, which or

legislature had never said a word.

public official responsible for the

the performance of his duty if he had
failed to accept Mr.. Dunn's chal-
lenge.
The cause of all this criticism is the
fact that the examiner has found some
things in that open book" which have
dulled the glamor Of Mr.. Dunns rec

best to have been a lax official. He is
