THE MURPHY CASE SETTLED.
Final Decree of the Court in Remark
able Trial

able Trial.
During the sitting of the Superior Court
yesterday the case of Proctor B. Lawrence
and others, complainants, and the Mayer
and Aldermen of the city of Savannah and
Christopher Murphy, defendants, was
called up on a motiou to enter the final
decree. The matter has been before the
courts during the past two or three years,
and the court granted the decree prayed
for, which substantiates the right of MIR.
Murphy 10 control about SIT, coo realized
from the sale of certain property belonging
TO Murphg's children, which sum has been
In the city treasury for about four
years. The case has been, in many re-
spects, very rem arkable one, and nearly
all the circumstances connected with it
have received wide publicity, aud the
great value of the property involved. as
well as the manner in which the case
came to be brought into court, has been
generally commented upon.
The decree granted by Judge Adams
passes upon the several questions which
arose during the hearing of the motion
Tor the final decree, the court ruling as
follows:
First. As to the attorneys fees allowed by
the verdict 10 Murphy, the Mayor and Alder
naon yielded their right of exception to said
attorneys fees by their failure to move for a
new trial. We direct that they be paid to
Messrs. Chisholm 4 Erwin.
Second. As TO the costs, we do not think
that IL would be equitable to impose any por-
uon Of the costs upon the city or the Law
renccs. The city submitted 10 this verdict
although the award 81 counsel fees against it
was contrary TO the evidence and con-
trary TO the ruling Of this court aud
OF the Supreme Court. The Lawrences
submitted 10 this verdict, although
IL disallowed their claim entirely
whereas the evidence required q
finding in their favor FOR some part OF thus
fund. The city, by its effort 10 aid this trus.
toe, became involved in this harrassing liti-
cation. The Lawreuces, by their nterven-
ton aud appeal to the supreme Court. estab-
hshed the principle upon which Murphy's
cross bill rests. We direct that the entire

be by the Clerk dshursed.
Third. We direct that the city pay to
said Murphy ~ trustee the amount allowed
him by said verdict, less said costs, but II he
fails 10 receive ana receipt for the same
within three days that the same be paid TO the
Clerk Of this court. who shall hold the same
subject TO the further order OF tbis court.
II is understood that petition signed
10y several hundred leading citizens, rep
resenting property valued mt several
millions Of dollars, has been drawn up,
aud will be presented 10 the City Council
requesting that body TO allow Mr. Murphy
certain sum Of money, representing the
difference between the amount realized
at the sale OF the property and its actual
value at the time OF the sale.

The Atlantas, while they are a strong

religion is to dispute every point, and
make things generally unpleasant for
everybody connected with the game.

umpire yesterday, after running up half
dozen or more times on the batter,

satisfaction by bruising up his catcher.
II was poor amend for his trickery, and
resulted in giving several errors to the

conspicuous than on Friday, but did not

determination, under excellent manage
ment, and are a crack base ball team.
The excitement in the grand stand and
on the benches when the game ended was
intense. When the Atlantis went 20 the

Called On the Old Folks.

A prominent contractor and builder
of this city tells good story at his own
expense, but he doesn't tell it often.
When he was but lad, his parents ar
rived 1t the conclusion that it was adj
visable to have one tiller of the soil in
the family, so home was obtained for
him with a childless couple. and he was
banished to Oakland County to learn
how to tickle the soil with a hoe, and
do other farm work.
1t only required single season to
convince him that shelling corn, hoeing
potatoes and milking long-taile cows
possessed no undying attraction for
him. especially rs he, and the farmer
and his wife differed radically upon va
rious matters of household economy,
and particularly upon the amount OF
pie necessary to satisfy the stomachic
cravings of healthy and growing boy:
so one night he returned to Detroit
without even soliciting the approval oil
his foster parents. Nor did they mourn
and refuse to be comforted.
Years rolled on, and the boy became
man and master of trade. He en-
barked in business for himself and for.
tune favored him. Being in Pontiac
one day on business, and having few
hours at his disposal, he decided to re
visit the old farm and note the changes
time had worked, and, if the old folk:
were still living, give them surprise
He argued that the stalwart form anC
bearded face that had come with man
hood. and, above all. his smart clothes
would be sufficient disguise; and ht
laughed in anticipation OF the conster
nation they would feel when they came
to realize that here was the boy who
wanted more pie. !.

Seals in an Iceberg.

Capt. Laarsen, of the Norwegian
bark Firga, which is now at the Noble
street wharf, discharging her cargo, told
the TO lowing story of his trip to this
port to a PhiIadelphia Times reporter:
1--WE were in latitude so degrees north.
and longitude Is degrees W. st, within
perhaps three hundred miles of the
eastern coast of Newfoundland when
we sighted an iceberg The weather
h' d been foggy and we had been creep
i-g along with short canvas. Suddenly
q mountain Of ice doomed up and we
drifted toward it. The iceberg was as
clear as CT stall, with the exception of a
great dark mass in its center, fathom
or SO above the waters edge From a
cleft in the side of the berg slender
column of vapor assembled | at once
directed my binocular glasses upon the
crystal mass, and discovered that the
black blotch in the center was moving.
Soon it could plainly be seen with the
naked eye, and my men became greatly
excited. In half an hour we were near
enough to get at the truth. and YOU may
scarcely credit it, but that iceberg was
just swarming with seals There must
have been $40, 900 worth of sealskins in
that berg. The yapor that came from
the top of the iceberg was caused by
their breathing. Without exaggera-
ton, / think there was between two
and three hundred seals there The
berg was evidently hollow, and the
water we could the seals plunge
into now and then was the ocean. The
wall of ice that separated us from. the
seals appeared to be but few feet
thick, and i think it had only been
there short time. Very likely it
formed after the seals were there, for it
is not probable that they would have
come up in such numbers from below
and voluntarily made place like that
their home T icy no doubt gathered
there from different parts of Il big foe
and had been floating around for
months unable to change their quarters.
After sailing around the berg without
finding an opening. we have the bark
to and lay off that iceberg as long as
we dared, hoping it would split or
crack in some manner to give us a
chance TO get at the seals; but nothing
happened, and we had to sail away. :"
