Mayor’s court on yesterday morning dropped Its listless spirit and sprang Into life with a ease that was full of sensational developments and decided ly interesting throughout. A white man named nine, who is in the city selling pictures, was the prisoner at the bar in this Instance. He was charged with di orderly conduct, viz: “tanking up," as a bystander re in ’rked and getting himself in a very short while a lit subject for the iock- nn He is retorted to liav > engaged a horse and boggy from Mr. H. Rob bins. tin* liveryman, who. seeing the eondition ol the man. made a proviso that a driver should accompany him and have charge of the teim. This was agreed to and a negro was sent along in oharg of the team. It seems that after getting as tar as the store of the Gaffney Manufacturing Company, on Limestone street, the man decided to get out and thrash a salesman for that firm. The pros pective scrap did not materialize and the man got back into the buggy. In the meantime putting tin* negro out. The negro objected and a lively chase occured round and round the buggy. The negro finally got the man in the buggy or vica versa the man got in the buggy and left the negro on the ground. Anyway the procession that took place a few minutes hater had the man in the buggy and the negro leading t.h«* horse. This arrangement "as in force for a few moments un til the man again became anxious to see something doing and attempted to drive the horse over the negro. Thev finally reached the stable when the negro s ized a pitch fork and prepar ed for battle. 'Hu* man was sullicl- enilv awed by the pitch fork to call the game at this stage and not insist on a continuance of the struggle. All this was recited in the nr-yor’s court after which his honor, the tayor, im posed a sent nee of twenty days or ten dollars. The fine was paid. Grindal Gossip.
