TEN DEAD AND THREE WOUNDED. Five or the Dead Men Wore Whites Tho Trouble Wn Directly Precipitated by the Attempted Arrest of n Nngro Two of the Negroes Wero Taken from Jail nnd lynched. Savannah, On., Dec. 37, Tlio troublo nt Jesup Wednesday began at 10 a. in., when Chief Marshal Leggett and assist ants attempted to arrest Bob Brewer, tho notorious negro outlaw and fugitive. Brewer raked his gun to his shoulder and deliberately shot down Assistant Marshall Barnhill, killing him instantly. The chief mnrshal then fired on Brewer, but missed him. Brewer returned tho fire and shot Leggett through botli legs. Brewer nnd his crowd of ten or twelve men then lied to McMillan swamp, a few yards away. The report of tho guns throw the town into a whirlwind of ex citement, and the negroes were followed into tho swamp by several citizens. Among them were William Wood, a carpenter, and his son, William Wood, who is on a visit from Ridgeland, S. C, to his father. Tho negroes dodged into tho swamp, and when young Wood ran in behind them Brewer rose up and shot him thtough tho head, killing him instantly, and shot Wood's father in the face. Accomplishing this much, the ne groes ran further into tho swamp and escaped. Tho news of the death of young Wood and the serious shooting of his father spread like wild-fire over the town. Con fusion reigned for a time, and Jesup seemed to bo in the hands of a violent mob. Mayor Hobbs called a meeting, and hastv arrangements were made to protect the town. Seventy-live armed men were gathered in a few minutes and followed Brewer and his party a dis tance into the swamp. McMillan bay covers over 400 acres, and Brewer is so familiar with its hiding places that the efforts of the posse to locate him in the swamp were regarded as in vain. Tho strength of the posse was increased by at least twenty-live armed men before an hour had elapsed, and a picket lino was formed on the east side, so as to pro hibit anybody from coming out of the Bwamp to the town. Brewer is thoroughly familiar with the bay, having been skulking around and hiding there, fishing and hunting, for a number of months. Brower had threatened the life of Assistant Marshal Barnhill since the officers killed one of Brewer's pals, a few weeks ago, while attempting to arrest the colored man for gambling. Wednesday was Brewer's chance, and he took advantage of tho opportunity, when the assistant oflicer came unarmed to the side of Chief. Marshal Leggett, who was making the arrest. Brewer seemed to forget for tho moment that anybody was trying to capture him, and no shot Barnhill down as he would a dog. News reached tho authorities that J. W. Ryan, a white man, was the instiga tor of" the affray. A posse was sent to his house to arrest him, but Ryan had made his escape. The men are on tho lookout for him. It is said that he put the bad idea into Brewer's head about the duty of the white people to the col ored folks, and report says that lie ex cited them by saying that tho murder of the colored man killed by Barnhill should be avenged. Henry Anderson, one of tho guards put over Rvan's house, was accidently shot and killed by one of his own party. He came over to Capt. Gordon's head quarters for reinforcements, and was going home, when a gun held by Town send, one of his party, was discharged, blowing Anderson's brains out. Ander son was formerly the hotel proprietor here, but of late has been with the Cen tral railroad, at Macon. Wednesday night a colored man was shot by a picket while coming from tho McMillan swamp. Ho attempted to slip by the officer when ho was shot. Tho ball took effect in tho right breast, but tho wound is not fatal. It is believed that ho was acting as a spy. At about 3 o'clock yesterday morning a party of unknown men attacked tho jail at Jesup, driving away the guards. In a few minutes the doors wero battered in, and four men went inside and shot and killed Peter Johnson and Bill Hopps. Tho former was tho man who had been wounded and captured in the fight. Tho military wero stationed about half a mile from tho jail, but by tho time a detachment arrived there everything was quiet, and all that there was to in dicate what had happened wero tho bodies of tho dead negroes. The com mander of tho military had suggested to the mayor a detail of soldiers should bo put on duty at the jail, but tho latter said the sheriff and liis deputies would protect the prisoners. A special from Jesup to Tho Morning News, dated 0 p. m., 6ays Mayor Hobbs has callod a public meeting to take steps to defend the town to-night. It is be lieved that Brower is near here with a largo force of negroes. Tho citizens nre organizing and arming to aid the Brunswick Rifles in caso of an outbreak. A special train was run out to tho brickyards, where Brewer was re ported to have been seen, and a detach ment of armed men sent out as scouts. Mayor Hobbs is in receipt of a tele gram from Brunswick saying that Ryan, tho white man who is supposed to have instigated tho trouble, is in that city, but tho mayor will not take steps to havo Ryan brought hack. There is still great excitement through out tho country around Jesup, but affairs will doubtless quiet down in a few days. It is the region of turpentine distilleries and saw mills. Hero thousands of ne groes are employed, and tho Jesup trou ble is apt to diso'rgahize labor for" some time to come. A largo number of negroes wero taken from their homes Wednesday and whipped, many of them being prosti tutes. A crowd of wliite men went to Boveral houses after breakfast that morn ing and compelled tho negroes to leave. They punished some of them. Everything- Outlet. Savannah, Ga., Dec. 27. A special to Tho Morning News from Jessup says everything is quiet there, and that a company of forty citizens has been or ganized to guard the town against inva sion. The coroner's jury in the after noon rendered a verdict charging tho negroes Brewer and Roford with the murder of Marshal Barnhill and youus Woods. As to the killing of the negroes in jail, tho jury returned a verdict of "killed by parties unknown." The Georgia Hussars, dismounted, tho company ordered to tho ' scene of tho trouble by the governor, returned to this city yesterday. Ton Killed. Savannah, Ga., Dec. 27. Tho most reliable information is that ten peoplo havo been killed at Jesupf namely: Barn hill and Woods, by Brower; Anderson, accidentally (white), and Johnson and Hopps, in jail, and Fluett, on tho street (colored), and two whites and two ne groes whoso names are not given.

Cotterill, at the Hulbert house, tliis city, last February; was found guilty of manslaughter yesterday morning and was sentenced by Judgo Desteigner to fourteen years in the penitentiary. James Radcliff's sister was tho wife of the murdered man, DaviB Cotterill. They had been married seven years, and tho testimony on tho trial went to prove that during that time the wife had been beaten, kicked, and that her life had been threatened, and that there had been attempts to forco her to becomo intimate with other men by her husband. Rad cliff interfered to protect his sister, and at one timo persuaded her to leave Cot terill. Tho latter induced her to return, and signed an agreement acknowledg ing his cruel treatment, and agreeing never to repeat it. This agreement was read in court. Both Radcliff and his brother-in-law were school teachers. After this they were bitter enemies, and threats against each other were freely niade. On Feb. 1 last tho two met in tho office of tho Hurlburt house, and after a few words Radcliff shot Cotterill fatally.

The exercises wero opened with prayer. Tho Chi Phi resolution wero then read. Hon. Patrick Walsh, of Augusta, was tho first speaker. Ho described Grady a9 tho most gifted and most useful publio man of history. Mr. Walsh reviewed Grady's brilliant career as an editor and orator and added: "His last speech was an impassioned and eloquent plea for a peaceful solution of that great problem which the south alono can solve. Itwa3 not to oppress tho colored man but to elevate mm: to enable both race3 to livo in peaco and to work out their mission in tho regeneration of tho south. What he so eloquently said in Boston repre sents the firm conviction of his southern countrymen, and his death but empha sized the truth and forco of his position. The south mourns and tho north deeply sympathizes with us in tho death of him whoso last public utteranco so touched tho patriotic heart, and tho responso comes from all sections of a reunited people and a re-lored nation." Hon. Benjamin Hill, in the course of a fervent tribute, said: "Henry W. Grady was tho great sun of tho south, under whoso fervid eloquence tho cold heart of tho north was melting into patience, justice, sympathy and love. It is no ex aggeration to say that he was the great hope of the country." Hon. Julius L. Brown, Hon. Albert Cox, Judge Howard Van Epps, Walter B. Hill, of Macon, and Professor H. White, of Athens, followed in heartfelt eulogy of the departed. John Temple Graves, of Rome, deliv ered a short address of such remarkable power and beauty that cheer after cheer arose, and as ho closed a voice cried: "There is Henry W. Grady's successor." Governor Gordon, who was tho last speaker, said in the course of his remarks: "It is no exaggeration to say that tho humblest and highest, tho poorest and richest, all classes; colors and creeds, with unspeakable sorrow mourn hia death as a public calamity. It is no ex aggeration to say that no man lives who can take his place. It is no extravagant eulogy to declare that scarcely any naif dozen men by their combined efforts can fill in all departments tho places which ho filled in his laborious and glorious life."
