JUSTICE sHEFTALL's CASE.
He is Served with Double Charges of
Malpractice.

Malpractice.
The grand jury yesterday afternoon was
considering the presentment of two bills OF
indictment for malpractice against Justice
Thomas J. Sheftall, and notice was served
on him to that effect by Sheriff Roman.
The charges of one bill are that on Aug.
q last he issued a warrant against w. M.
Shinall, charged with the offense OF
keeping a gaming house. Shinall
was arrested by Constable Henry
Wetherhorn ana was taken before Justice
Sheftall 1t was the duty of the latter TO
have then entered the matter on the crlmi-
nal docket with the disposition OF the case,
which Is alleged not to have been done.
1t is charged that the Justice confederated
with Officer Wetherhorn with intent TO aid
him in uujustly and illegally obtaining
money from Shnall. The warrant, it is
charged, purported to have been issued 'Ipon
the affidavit of some party unknown which
warrant and case the Justice failed to enter
upon the criminal docket or to return to the
office of the Clerk of the City Court.
The second bill alleges malpractice in the
case of the State VS.. Charles Lawson, Daniel
f. Godfrey and James Long, for INSIDE
meanors, in Justice Sheftall's court in No
vember, with j. G.. jefferson as the alleged
prosecutor. The, entry on the Justices docket,
discharged on examination Nov. s, 1887,
on motion of G. +. evans, attorney for de
PENDANTS, was, it is charged falsely entered,
as the defendants Godfrey and Long, were
not before Justice Sheftall on that day nor
were they represented by Bevans.
The charge is that the justice conspired
with Deputy Sheriff Isaac Nathans and G. E.
Bevans in obtaining money from the de-
PENDANTS and alleging that jefferson was
not a prosecuting witness.
Justice Sheftall denies the allegations and
says that he will be able to explain the
whole matter At his request the further
consideration of the cases by the grand jury
was suspended until to day, when the
Justice, with witnesses. will appear before
the grand jury under his right as Justice
of the Peace to answer the allegations and
prevent the indictments
At z o'clock the grand jury adjourned to
reconvene at 10 O'clock this morning, at
which time Justice Sheftall and his wit
nesses will be heard

What the Beach Company is Doing
The Regatta.

The Regatta.
The Tybee Beach Company has secured
the services of Mr.. Percy Sugden, civil en-
gineer, to survey and lay off that part OF
the island that has not been plated. Mr..
Sugden will commence work on Monday.
Mr. Charles II. Dorset has been the agent
of the company for the sale Of lots, and is
prepared to offer any of those already laid
off. 1t is proposed to make the terms such
that anyone can secure home on the island
at a moderate price.
The proposition to have a regatta in Ty-
bee sound next week meets with very
general approval and it is understood that
the committee has the race under consldera-
ton. The railroad company will doubtless
offer good prize so as to induce the COM
mittee to get up the race.
The work OF extending the Tybee railroad
to Randolph street will be commenced at an
early day

one. but we drove them back again and
again, having our front strewn with dead.
One incident / must relate here. Our
company being near the top of the hill, to
the left, could see all over the ground in
front Of the Fourteenth North Carolina,
where the dead lay piled up. The Federals
hy falling back by some hundred or SO
yards would only be exposed to a long
range fire from MS. They would rest. re-
form in this valley and come again. Dar-

the best shots in our company was
Henry Reeves. He sprung 10 h;s knees
and took deliberate aipl Mt the brave fellow.
7Quick as a. fash Lieutenant George w.
Britt, of Failing Creek, N.C. struck up his
gun; and, when Reeves and others looked
