THESALEWON'TC OMEOFF
THE LIBERTY STREET PAVEMENT
TAX FIGHT.

Af1davits OF Hlegality by Forty-Six
Property Owners-The City Marshal
Served with the Papers Last Night
The Sale Under Executions Blocked
Until the Case is Heard by the Supe-
rior Court Next Spring.
The proposed execution sales of Liberty
street property for the delinquent taxes for
asphalt pavement, which were advertised
for Tuesday, have been suddenly blocked by
atfidavits of illegality by forty-six property
holders, which were served upon City Mar
shal Wade last night, and which will be
filed in the Office of the clerk of the superior
court tomorrow or Tuesday.
The contestants we're unwilling last night
to let the documentary matter become
public. but it is known that thirtY-nine
grounds are set forth, based on constitutional
questions and on facts in the affidavits of
illegality resistive of the asphalt pavement
assessments.
TO STOP THE SALE.
The affidav it operates as stay of execu-
ton, and is retul nable at the next term of
the superior court. TIE attorneys who
represent the property owners are j. r.
Saussy, Esq, and R. r. Richards, ESQ.
Mr.. j. X. Saussy, Jr., said last night that
it is intepded to carry the case to the courts
or last resort, and he predicts that the
matter will not be settled for the next five
years. He says that it will not be DOS
Slble for the supreme court of the state to
pass upon it before October, 1890, and as the
United States supreme court is three years
behind it will not be possible TO have a
determination of the issue for five years.
Mr.. Saussy was asked how it would be
possible to take a case to the United States
supreme court, when the itigant is a resi-
dent OF the state, and he added that it
would be done on constitutional grounds,
but he did not explain where there was an
infringement of the constitution of the
United States in purely local question of
local taxation.
DOES IT MEAN COMPROMISE T
There is an impression that the antago-
nistic attitude of those refusing to pay the
assessment for asphalt paving which they
petitloned for is to force the city to a COM
promise. Quite a number have paid the
assessment and refused to join the liUi-
giants. The city has all along felt sure
or Its rights in the matter, and while the
htigants complain that they were not
accorded fair treatment, the fact re-
mains, city official said last night,
that they were, at the critical time, un viii
hing to say what they did want, and when
their spokesman, Capt Purse, was pressed
Tor proposition at a meeting of the city
council, although claiming to represent the
htigants, be was unwilling to state what
the Liberty street property owners wanted
or what compromise they would accept, nor
would he make any proposition for himself
or the rest OF the contestants to bind them.

ARRESTED FOR ARSON.

j. 8, Tart Charged With Setting Fire
to House On East Broad Street.
An alarm Of fire was turned in from boz
Is at o'clock yesterday morning. The
fire was in a two-story frame house at East
Broad and New Houston streets, one room of
which was occupied by L. T. Mann s. Co.
as a wood yard office, one room by J, s.
Tart, and the rest of the house by john r.
Fennessy and family as residence. The
building was Quilted. The damage to the
house will aggregate $1,000, insured for
$500 in WheatoA's age cy. The furni
ture and clothing in Tart's room was in
sured In the Germania of New York for
$3.50.
Tart was arrested in the forenoon on a
warrant sworn out by Mann char ging him
with arson, and as arson is not bailable Of
Tense he was committed to jail by Justice
Warning Russell, Jr.
Tart is young man, hailing from Ma
rion, 5. c., where he says that his mother
resides He is unmarried. The fire origi-
mated in his room, and he thinks it NAV
have been the result of an explosio of the
lamp, which, he says. he left burning when
he dropped off to sleep.

DELAYS AT QUARANTINE.
The Sanitary Association Looking
Into the Matter.

The Sanitary Association Looking
Into the Matter.
An analysis of the rep Jrts Of vessel in
spections by the inspector of the Citizens
Sanitary Association, from Oct to Nov.
20, shows that out of forty-four foreign
vessels arriving at Savannah between
those dates, thirteen were unduly detained
at the quarantine station, some only for
twenty-four hours, others for days The
longest detention was twenty days. Vessels
lay at anchor in several distances, the in
spsctor says, for hours. an some of them
for days. one even for seven days, before
the quarantine officer boarded them. The
pilots, who were at times on boa d for sew
eral days, and in many instances slept on
board, left the ships, in almost all cases, be-
fore they were boarded by the quarantine
officer.
Want Of accommodation and the inabil-
sty to reach vessels without the aid of q
seaworthy tug, the inspector says, seem to
be the cause for the undue detention. One
vessel loaded with nitrate of soda. and
coming from Chilli, was detained for
fwenty-four urs, although she arrived
after Nov. /, and was fumigated once,
procedure, the inspector says, which can
only be termed farce, if one considers the
nature of the cargo and the time of year in
which the vessel left the GILLIAN port
One vessel was sent to Sapelo because her
former captain had died of yellow fever
ashore in Rio Janeiro two months previous
to the vessels arrival in Savannah. She had
no sickness on board during her voyage.
The pilot left the vessel at the outer roads
and ordered her to Sapelo. She was de-
tanned there fourteen days, but was fumi-
gated only once after dischargng her bal
last, while other vessels OF suspected were
fumigated before discharging. After leav-
ing Sapelo and arriving at the Savannah
quarantine station the vessel was ordered
back to the black buoy, and was only
allowed to come up to Savannah two days
later.
The crew Of one vessel alleged that they
were actually starving while lying In the
outer roads for several days before they
succeeded in communicating with the city
by passing steamer

In the City Court.
Joe Germaine, who was arrested last
week for stealing watch and was lodged
in Jail by Justice McDermott, as already
stated in the MORNING News, was given an
examination in Justice Patterson's court
Yesterday. Solicitor General Fraser
prosecuted the case, and w. W Osborne,
ESQ.,, defended Germaine. Two witnesses
were introduced by the prisoner. From
the evidence, it appears that John johnson,
the prosecutor, was over on Hutchis IN
Island with couple Of sailors, and Ger
maine charged them with stealing
some sugar-cane. He tried to
hold them, but they were about to
to get away from him. when he seized
Johnson's watch, to keep, he said, until he
could be seen about the stealing. johnson
had Germaine arrested, charged with rob-
berry. but Justice Patterson held that it was
larceny from the person, and he required a

The shipment Of Florida oranges has
fairly begun. The market here is full now
and prices range low--from 81 to 81 so per

quality of the fruit this year is inferior, the
dealers say. At any season, however, the
best Florida fruit is not received here. The
'.culls," as they are called, are the choice
fruit, but they always go north. There
they find ready purchasers at high
prices. The Indian River and Russell

find their way north, are called by the
