CITY COUNCIL WORK.
A Dispute Over the Cost of the
Broughton Street Pavement.

bFOnAnJOu street I-aVGHlenJ.
Last nights session of the City Coun-
Gil was devoted TO the usual routine
work, and there were very few matters Of
any special prominence before the body.
A petition signed by about all the prop.
erty owners on Broughton street was read
asking for a reduction in the bills for
paving. The petitioners complained that
they were charged pro rata for The paving
OF BrOughtOn at the intersection of other
streets. They object to paying for the
crossings, and declare that the proper
way is TO charge them according TO the
frontage OF their lots on Broughton street.
The matter was referred to Council as a
committee OF the whole, and will be dis
cUssed at a special meeting TO be called by
the Mayor.
An ordinance, introduced by Alderman
Bogart, authorizing the digging OF dry
wells on lots where sewer connection is
impracticablc, was passed.
Another ordinance, introduced by the
same Alderman, requiring diagrams Of
all private sewers hereafter laid TO be
furnished TIE city, was also passed.
The following resolutions were adopted:
BY Alderman uthOriZing the
purchase of three horses and three sets of
harness for the Fire Department. The
horses will be tor the new engine house,
which is expected TO be ready for Use
within a month.
BY Alderman Thomas-AuthoriZin the
purchase OF two mules and two dump
carts for the street and lane depart
ment. Mr.. Thomas stated that 81, 300 las
been expended for cart hire in the last
nine months, and he thought it would be
cheaper for the city to buy than to hire.
BY Alderman HamiltOn-AuthOriZin
the sinking of an experimental artesian
well at the water works, the cost not to
exceed $500.
The Finance Committee reported ad-
verselv on the petition of James j. War
ing asking the city to pay for some win
dows that were broken by the artillery on
the occasion of the unwilling of the tablets
on the Greene monument.
The Fire Committee reported adversely
on the communication from the City
Council OF Kansas City asking Savannah
to contribute n sum of money to help de-
fend test suit against Kansas City over
the harness used by the fire department Of
that and many other cities.

TURNER CONVlCrED.
Guilty of Assault to Murdcr-Re com
mended to Mercy.

Guilty of Assault to Murdcr-Re COM
mended to Mercy.
F. B. Turner, a young white man
scarcely more than 20 years old, was con-
victed in the Superior Court yesterday Of
assault with intent to murder. The as
sault was made on William Sullivan one
Saturday night in June. The particulars
OF the case were published in the NEWS
at the time.
On the night in question Sullivan was
attacked by Turner and K. l.. Studstill,
who cut him and beat him almost fatally.
Studstill was put on the stand by the de-
tense and his evidence was not mate
rally different from Turner's statement.
Both said that they had two encounters
with SullIYan-nne, perhaps, an hour later
than the other. They said that
in the second encounter Sullivan drew a
pistol and snapped it i've times at them.
sullivan swOre that he did not have a.
pistol. He stated that Turner assaulted
him with knife and Studstil assaulted
him with cane. The policeman who
made the arrest testified that Turner had
a knife in his hand when captured. The
case attracted a crowd to the court room
which was thrOnged all the time during
the trial. Turner was defended by j. j.
Abrams, Esq, and Capt. Geo. a. Mercer,
who made strong appeal for
the prisoner. The defense was
that Turner made the second as
sault under the impression that his
lite was in danger. The speeches of the
counsel for the defense. and OF the Solicit
tor General, were the strongest that have
been made at this session of the court.
Solicitor General duBignon declared
that any verdict other than one OF guilty
would be but making farce Of law and
| Justice. TIE conviction OF offenders who
cannot secure able counsel for their de-
! tense, and who have no Influence, boots
the end OF justice little or nothing, ne
added. For "a long time, as the records OF
the county will show, juries have been too
prone To form their verdcts according to
the social position OF the defendants. ne
/ continued. There has been one class

! almost uniformly punished.
The jury was out two hours and re-
| turned Il verdict of guilty, with q recon-
| mendatiOn to mccoy.
