spondent, by Mr.. H. L. Davis, today filed his
answer. He denies that the title to the prop
erty in question was, on the death Of Ellen
Monahan, in her, but says it was in ]. ]. Byrns
and she had an equitable title only. He says
that the property was first brought to his atten-
ton by a representative of Mrs. Quill,
who called on him several times
and finally he made inquiries in reference to
the title and ascertained that the ground had
been the property of Ellen Monahan and was
and still is subject to trust of $500, and the
interest of complainant was a third only, and it
was in the possession of Mary Kelly, who re-
fused to pay rent or surrender the premises;
that the property had been sold by the District
for taxes and not redeemed, and the
total value was S92s. He, in the course Of
the investigation, came into contact with John
Is. O'Neill, who represented himself as the at
torney for the complainant and from whom
he procured chain of title. Tot for de-
PENDANTS, but the attorneys use. After further
consideration he consented to purchase the
complainant's interest and after making allow
ance for $500 secured by deed of trust and for
the redemption of the tax sale and the taxes
IN arrears with the expense of procuring pos
session and the cost of transfer, he determined
mat HPIalnant interest was worth only slOO
and so reported to her attorney; that the at
torney said he would not give that much and
defendant was reluctant to give SO much, but
by the express desire of the complainant he
paid that amount and the deed was prepared
and recorded June 4, 1890 He denies that
there was any fraud, threat or intimidation
used, and asserts that the matter was fully ex-
planned to her. He admits that afterward on
the advice Of counsel, he instituted the land
lord and tenant proceedings against Mary
Kelly and she made plea Of title and the case

THE DISSATISFIED CHEYENNES,
Report Of Assistant Adjt Gen. Williams
"A Suggestion.

Assistant Adjt. Gen. Williams in his annual
report to Gen. Miles upon the state of affairs
in the division Of the Missouri says that Indian
affairs have been peaceable and without note,
except the unsettled feelings of the Cheyennes
on the Tongue river. This tribe is now scat
tered at three agencies, and those on the
Tongue river have been nervous and unsettled
for long time. 1t is claimed that they have
not been prop erly supplied by the government,
and their earnest wish has been to have that
portion Of the tribe at the Pine Ridge agency
brought north and placed upon their reserva-
ton. 1t is not believed that these Indians will
ever be quiet until these complaints are reme-
died.
Adjt Gen. Williams suggests that the service
would be largely benefited by the concentra-
ton, as far as practicable, OF the companies Of
a regiment at the same post and by breaking
up the present system of forming garrisons by
collection Of companies from different regi-
meQtS.

A Relic of Indian Times.

Col. w. H. Jones, who came up from
Florida yesterday, has on exhibition at
Theus Bros. iewelry store on Bull street a
petrified hand. 1t is very small aud well
formed. The fingers taper prettily and the
muscles are traceable. About six inches of
the wrist are exhibited. The hand is about
half closed, the thumb resting against the
index finger. A bracelet is traceable on the
wrist. and the NJ in the palm of the hand is
discernible. Col. Jones said that he was
down in Florida, digging in the
phosphate beds, when his foot came
in contact with some hard substance.
He dug the sand away and he beheld his
CHASTITY find. He touched it carefully at
first, but he soon found that it could not be
broken. He took it to Dr. Souvile. who
pronounced it a petri1ed hand. 1t is be-
lieved that it is the hand of some woman
massacred by Indians The hand was found
on the Indian river, between the townships
of Rockledge and Cocoa. Col. Jones said
that he will send 1t to the Smithsonian Insti-
tute

GAS LIGHT ON CARS.

An Effort to Introduce Gas Lighting
on the Central and Plant Systems.
Mr.. William st. John, general agent of
the Pintsch gas lighting department of the
Safety Car Heating and Lighting Company
of New York, gave an exhibition on Corne-
Illus Vanderbilt's private car and the Wag-
ner car, which is used by the Vanderbilt
party, at the Savannah, Florida and West
ern depot, last night, of
the Pintsch system of car lighting.
Mr.. st. John invited the leading
officials of the Plant and Central systems.
General Managers Haines and Gabbett
superintendent of Motive Power Chapman
OF the Central, Purchasing Agent Haskell,
Mr.. Matthews of the Ohio Falls Car Com
pany and representatives of the press to visit
the cars and witness the exhibition of the
light. Mr.. st. John is negotiating for the
Introduction of the system in the south. It
is already in use on the leading roads of the
north and on most of the great European
railroads: the Pullman Company is intro
duclng it in its cars, as the Wagner Com
pany has already DONE If the system is
introduced on the Central and Plant
systems works will be built here for the
manufacture Of the gas, which is petroleum
gas. The supply is carried under
reservoirs. Mr. SVanderbilt's car was
charged with gas last week. 1t left New
York Monday, and the supply is sufficient
to last two or three weeks yet. The cost of
lighting by the Pintsch system is claimed to
be less than by oil lamps, besides giving a
superior and much safer light. Mr.. st.
John will hold conference with the rail-
road officials TO-DAY.

Daniel Boone the Pioneer" Seen for

Daniel Boone the Pioneer" Seen for
the First Time in Savannah.
"Daniel Boone the Pioneer" had a
crowded gallery and pretty good parquet
and dress circle audience last night. The
play is founded upon the life and history of
the settler Of Kentucky, and while the
scenes are laid in the latter part of the last
century, it is not what is commonly called
border drama The story is a
domestic one, and portrays the bright
side Of the life of Daniel Boone.
While necessarily full of exciting scenes it is
without the usual blood and thunder" that
is dragged into most plays of It's class. 1t
is really legitimate dramatic portrayal of
historic incidents, with coherent, intelli-
gent plot, presented by actors of capability
and introducing no more of the
sensational than necessary to sustain
the realism of the story. The company
is good one. The Indians, of whom there
are six, with diminutive pappoose.
added to the character and life of the play.
Mr.. Woods, Mr.. Ungerer, MIR. Brown, and
Mr.. Wyhe are all good actors, and left
little to be desired. Mr.. Griffin, in the
negro character of "Sol Butternut.n kept
the house in laughter The play will be
repeated at matinee performance this
afternoon and again tonight.

TO WELCOME THE oHIoANs.
A Meeting to be Called to Take Steps
for Their Entertainment.


Thus far no set programme has been
determined upon for the reception and
entertainment Of the Ohio farmers who
will arrive in Savannah next Thursday
morning, and will spend the day here.
Maj. G. VI. Ryals said last night that the
visit has been canvassed among those who
have farming interests, and it is understood
that some organized action will
of the visitors, and to show such c0urtesies
to them as viii be possible during so short a
stay. He suggests that a meeting be called
for tonight, or Monday noon or night, at
some convenient place. to take steps to
make the visit of the Ohioiaus as pleasant
and instructive as possible, something
which, he says, Is peculiarly appropriate,
in consideration Of the marked attention
shown the Georgia delegation to Ohio last
fall, as the Empire state of the south, and
especially its principal city, should not be
less hospitable than the people of the Buck
eve state were in their treatment OF the
Georgia visitors.
Maj. Ryals suggests that the citizens unite
In providing means for giving the visitors a
drive about the city and to some of the
near-b by truck farms, to give them some idea
OF the commercial importance OF Savannah
and OF the possibilities Of Georgia soil.
The city councils of other cities of the
state have acted by giving the visitors the
freedom OF the cities visited, and the may
ors and aldermen have co-operated with the
citizens In showing them courtesies.
In Macon yesterday and last night the
Ohloans were most royalty entertained, a
joint committee OF the city council, the
board Of trade and the agricultural society
having charge Of the reception. They were
driven about the city yesterday, some near
by farms were visited, and they were
banauetted last night and a hop was given
In their honor at the commercial club.
The party will leave Macon at 10
o'clock this morning for Fort VAL
ley. where they will remain over
Sunday, afterward visiting Americas.
