 The Police Court this morning was for the second time In the past few months visited by members of the local baseball association. On this occasion Manager Vaughan was brought before the tribunal on the charge of an eaffray with Claude Tyson. a young man living in the city.
 | Tyson was also charged with affray. The case elicited quite a great deal of interest and the faithful fans were on hand to learn the fate of the big manager at the hands of the judge. Testimony taken showed that yester- 1 day about o'clock Manager Vaughan was of the opinion that some persons had gotten into the baseball park with out handing out the necessary coin. He approached MT. Tyson. who Is the guardian" of the side gate located just below the smoker. He asked MT. Ty- son about the condition and Tyson was of the opinion that Manager Vaughan insinuated that he was guilty of the offense. It is related that Tyson told Harry that he must not think everybody was crooked and cast a re- | fection, whereupon, 1t is stated, the manager slapped him.
 Tyson had him arrested and this morning both men were fined the sun of $3, which of course was promptly paid.

SILENCE BROKEN AFTER 40 YEARS.
Jailer of Jefferson Davis Seeks to Just.
lily Himself-.'Dana Responsible too.

Atlanta Constitution.
Boston, Feb. 2.-For the first time
in 40 years Lieut. Gen. Nelson A.
Miles, now acting Inspector general on
the staff of Gov. Douglas, has broken
silence on the circumstances surround
ing the Imprisonment in irons of Presi-
dent Jefferson Davis of the Confeder-
ate States.
jefferson Davis did not surrender
when Richmond was captured" said
Gen. Miles. ''He did not surrender
with Lee and Johnson, but it was his
intention, and he admits it in his own
book, The Rise and Fall of the Con-
tederacy,' to try and escape across the
Mississippi so that he could join the
Confederate army in that section and
continue the war.
He was sent to Fortress Monroe to
await trial for completely in the assas-
sination of Mr.. Lincoln. On Nav %.
1865, c. A. Dana, assistant secretary of
war, authorized and directed me in a
special order to place manacles and
letters upon the hands and feet of JEFF
ferson Davis and Clement c.. CLAW
whenever it might be thought advisa-
BILE in order to render their imprison-
ment more secure. Light anklets were
placed on Davis. He knocked over n
strong man who was helping to do it.
The anklets were kept on five days
only, while wooden door was being
removed and an iron grated one sub
stituted
The anklets gave Davis no pain
and did not prevent him from walking.
Mr.. Davis at the time was Sc wears
old, strong and agile. Letters to me
from Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Clay prove
that L treated Mr. Davis with all the
kindness that could be shown him un-
der the circumstances. Statements
that ne was maltreated or his health
impaired as result of his imprison-
ment are utterly false.

Charleston few days ago on four
charges of arson. Four fires occurred
within short period in the business
section of the city, and the boy has con-
fessed to being responsible for them.
According to the accounts published the
young fire bug appears to be perfect
type of moral degenerate.
Judge Aldrich Of Barnwell is at Johns
Hopkins hospital undergoing treatment
and is consequently absent from the
bench at present.
a petition with $500 names was pre-
sented to the Legislature asking for

a riot between negroes and whites
occurred near Langley on last Saturday
There was one negro killed and two

The whites seem to have begun the
trouble without provocaton.
During the past few days the whole
South has been covered with snow
sleet and ice, and much DAMAGE has
been done. Railway traffic has been
seriously blocked. Telegraph and Tcle
phone communication much impaired.
Fruit and grain in certain localities are
injured, and the discomfort to man and

broken bones have resulted from per-

sixteen horses shot in one day on ac-
count of injuries received from falls on

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
Ten Circuit Bill Law, and Hon. R. A.
Cooper may be the Solicitor of the
Ninth Circuit.


Very few bills of special interest to
this county have been handled by the
General Assembly during the past week.
A bill causing considerable comment,
is that allowing private corporation
the right of condemnatory proceedings
to acquire private property. The frien6s
of the bill contend that while the cor
poration in question is a private one its
purpose is the development of property
which will inure to the public good and
in fact a public one.
The ten circuit bill will become law.
To form the circuits the counties have
been so grouped that no judge or solici-
tor will be thrown out of job. The
following is the new arrangement:
First Circuit: Charleston, Colleton and
Beaufort.
Second Circuit: Berkeley, George
town, Dorchester and Orangeburg.
Third Circuit: Hampton, Aiken, Bam-
berg, Barnwell and Edgefeld.
Fourth Circuit: Clarendon, Florence,
Lee, Sumter and Williamsburg.
Fifth Circuit: Chesterfield, Darling
ton, Horny, Marion and Marlboro.
Sixth Circuit: Kershaw, Lexington,
Richland and Saluda.
Seventh Circuit: Chester, Fairfield,
Lancaster and York.
Eighth Circuit: Cherokee, Spartan
burg and Union.
Ninth Circuit: Abbeville, Greenwood,
Saurens and Newberry
Tenth Circuit: Anderson, Greenville,
Pickens and Oconee.
AS Judge Klugh is resident of Abb
beville there will be no election for
judge of the ninth circuit, but there will
be for solicitor, and Hon. R. A. Cooper
is spoken Of as formidable candidate
for that office.
