REAL ESTATE IN COURT.
Contest Over Lots that arc Alleged TO
Have Been Numbered Wrongly.

CONTEXT over Lots that arc Alleged 20
Have Been Numbered Wrongly.
Three lots on State street, opposite the
Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences,
were the subject of a legal fight In the
Superior Court that lasted all Of yester-
day.
In 1880 Henry d. Weed. Esq, bought
two lots Of Augustus p. Wetter, trustee
under the will of Margaret Telfair. The
lots were described in the deed as Nos.
and 8. Now Henry d. Weed, the pur-
chaser, asks TO have the deed reformed by
changing the numbers OF the lots from 7
and TO and 8. The plaintiff alleges
that Miss TeltRir never owned lot No. Z,
and that mistake was made in the deed
in the description of the lots, or in other
words the mum bers were mixed.
City Surveyor Howard and Isaac Beck
EFT, Esq, were called by the plaintiff IS
counsel 10 show that the lots are num-
bered now as they were at the time they
were sold. 26 years ago. Mr.. Beckett pro-
duced a copy OF a map made In ITO by
"Ihomas Shruder, deputy surveyor gen.
eral OF the province Of Georgia." The old
cemetery now at South Broad and A ber-
corn streets is shown on the old map
as little beyond the extreme
southeastern part OF the town.
The present line of South Broad street
was then the extreme sOutberly limit of
the town. Jefferson street, as now laid
down. bounded IL on the west and Lincoln
street on the east. Beyond these bOun-
daries we're the commons. What is laid
down % the NV estern road" started from
the public road, now known as Bull street,
at point which is now crossed by Perry
street. The 'Southern road" now the
OReechee, took its departure from the
White Bluff road, as nearly as can be
measured, about Jones street, and the
Thunderbo road started from the end of
Broughton street, as il then stood.
Starting from south Broad then with
out nRme) were York, King now Pres
ident), Prince (nOw State) BrOughton,
Duke, (nOw COBgress) J, st. Julien and
Bryan, or Odingsell streets, Bay, South
Broad, Jefferson and Lincoln streets
we're at that time unnamed.
After examining a few witnesses, the
defendants' counsel, Messrs CrOnk.
Richards and Col. Lester, submitted
motion for non-suit, on the ground that
under the will OF Margaret Telfalr the
trustee had no power to make a deed in
fee simple for the lots purchased by the
plaintiff. Messrs. Cronk and Richards
both spoke u on the motion, and this
morning Capt. Geo. A. Mercer, the plain
tf's counsel, Will reply. In 1860 the two
lots were sold Tor So, $50 apiece. In 1901
No. brought 81 1850, and in 1898 No. was
sold for 1925.

.SAVANNAH'S FIRST GAME.
VICTORY LOST BY OVERWORK-
ING THE PITCHER.

Sharp Fielding and Free Hitting by
Both Clubs - Collins and Morlarity
Bear on the HOnOrs OF the Home Team
"A Big Crowd Present - TO-Day's
Batteries.
Nearly 1900 people braved the cutting
winds yesterday afternoon 10 witness the
first game OF the season at base ball park
with Savannah and Louisville in the dia-
mond. The players in their light uniforms
felt the cold keenly, and every time the
ball struck their hands 1t stung like the
current from galVanic battery. During
the first four innings the game was close
ly and prettily played on each side, no
runs being scored and but few men
on either side passing fret base.
| The batteries were very effective,
and the fielding was sharp and almost
errorless. Very few men were struck out,
but nevertheless only one or two sue
ceeded in getting a base hit In the fifth
inning Savannah acquired the knsck Of
Reccius' delivery, and heavy hitting and
one or two errors on the part OF their OPP
ponents Melted five runs before they were
retired.
HOW The GAME WAS LOST.
In the same inning the visitors got on to
the delivery OF O'Day and brought two
men across the home plate. When Louis
Vile took the field for the sixth inning
Ramsey, the lelt-handed twirler who did
such effective work for CHATTANOOGA last
year, was put in the boz. Though the
nome club hit him freely, they did not
succeed in driving the ball TO a safe place
and failed TO score run during the
remainder of the game. O'Day, who has
not bad sufficient practice yet this season
to be hardened to the work of pitching the
full nine innings, gave evidence Of being
OVerworked after the fourth inning, but
as he was the only twirler in the nine as
made up yesterday he was obliged to re-
main in the box throughout the game,
though unable to do himself justice.
This resulted in heavy batting on the
part of the visitors, which yielded them
eight additional runs without taking ad-
vantage OF their half OF the ninth inning
WHAT THE GAME SHOWED.
The showing made by the home team
was, IN view Of the handicap placed on
it by overwOrking O'Day, satisfactory.
Strength was exhibited both at the bat
and in the field. The donors were borne
in left, each OF whom held every ball sent
into their bailiwick, and did some OF the
most valuable work of the day, each also
playing without an error. Collins led in
the batting and drove the ball with a
force which at once made him a favOrite
with the spectators. Murray, on third,
played faultless game, and Stock well,
behind the bat showed up in good style.
Strict, Field and Miller did we'll in their
respective positions, while Gillen, last
years popular catcher, did the little work
falling to his lot in centre field in his
usually effective way.
In tO-day's game Mclaughlin will catch
MOriarity and Neal for Savannah, and
Cook Will receive the delivery of Ely and
Reccius for Louisville.
THE SCORE.
Appended is the full score of yester-
days game:

How Shall the IDdIgent Incurable be
Provided For?

EFONAoGO
Editor Morning Ne,cs: 1t is customary
In the counties OF this State where there
is court house, villages, churches, and
where the rights OF man and the con-
sideratiOn due to man from his fellow.
men are recognized, for the INDECENT sick
or disabled to be provided for by the
county.
1t requires nice discrimination to adjust
timely aid to a really needy man or
woman, and withhold 1t from the crafty
and mean-spirited, but healthy toned
community which has money raised bv
taxation or by subscription for the needy
will protect itself from fraud and dispense
its funds with ease.
Has county any excuse for setting
aside the claims Of humanity? Has q
county right to provide for the
support Of its INDECENT incura0les?
Ii so, by all that is Just and true, then
well man has right to withhold a well
mans support from his county, since no
recognition is made Of him by his county
when he ceases to be a producer.
1t has come to my knowledge that
mountaineering, helpless. and indl-
gent-nOt more than forty miles from Sa-
vannah, is lett to the tender mercIes of
her neighbors, who are Overburdened with
n cross too heavy to bear and without
hope OF any e11clent county help and sup
port.
To say that that county which once
stood first IN scholastic and theological
lore, and first IN moral and religious liv-
ing, does nothing at all as a county for
this helpless woman, would be to name
too monstrOus sin, and shame to hui
manity, were 1t true, which dare not be-
! leve.
But it is true that no concert of action
! on the part Of the charitable, and no plan
adopted by the county has yet procured
for her any stated and neediul provision
for the future. Thus this helpless and
pitiable citizen waits, Neglect OF duty in
this case stands side by side with.-what +;
God forbid that this state of things
should continue. A room, kind nurse,
q physician, food. For God sake, county
Of my birth and OF my affection. awake to
your duty before a death is laid at your
door! LIBERTY.
