AT THE COURTS.
Gossip Picked Up Here and There IN
the Court Rooms.

In the superior court yesterday in the
suit of S. a. Hexter against the Charleston
and Savannah Railway Company, a jury
gave plaintiff a verdict for $50, and costs for
two cows killedby one of defendants trains.
The case came up on appeal from Justice
/ Van r Winkler's court.
| J. J. Snow was appointed commercial
notary public by Judge Falhgant yester-
| day.
Patrick Flanagan plead guilty to assault
/ and battery in tue superior court yester-
day and was fined 500 or six months on
the chain-gang. In the trial on the charge
of indecent assault a mistrial was declared,
the Jury, it is said, standing eleven for ac-
quittal and one for conviction.
Judge Falligant sentenced the colored
man Hamilton. convicted of carrying con-
cealed weapons, to pay fine Of 800 OF
twelve mouths on the chain-gang.
The trial of Sandy Green, for the alleged
murder of the colored man Smith, is as
signed for hearing in the superior court
to-day.
The grand jury of the superior court will
meet at O'clock this afternoon. Its learned
that they will not make their final present.
ment to-day, and that they will ask to be
dismissed until next Friday, at which time,
after their final report, they will be dis
charged for the term.
Inc indications are that the present term
of the superior court will last within a very
few days of the beginning of the March
term of the court. The asphalt assessment
cases will be important cases for hearing at
the next term of the court, of which
suits there are more than forty
and the parties in litigation with the city do
not appear to be inclined to permit any test
case to be made. It is deemed probable that
the cases will be taken to the supreme court
for final adjudication.
In the mayors court yesterday morning
of eight defendants only one was acquitted.
A vagrant was let off on promise t. leave
the city before night. George King and
Lee Bivens, two coiored boysj found asleep
under a stoop on Henry street, were fined
SIS or thirty days each. The other prison.
ers, charged with disorderly conduct, were
fined in the aggregate S23 or forty-five days
on the chain-gang.
ii. A. Smith and AIonzo Smith, liquor
dealers, at Congress and West Broad streets,
brought suit for 500 against s. H. Cox,
keeper of boarding house on State street,
Yesterday in Justice Russell's court. The
suit was on note upon a plea of failure of
consideration, on the ground that the con-
tract was that Smith Bros should not pay
rent for the house which they now occupy,
and which was occupied by Mr.. Cox. 1t
was represented to them that the rent would
be paid by Mr.. Cox, and they claim that
he did not do it. Judgment was given in
favor of the defendants. Thos. S. Morgan,
Esq, represented Smith Bros, and VIM.
l.. Morrison, Esq, appeared for Mr.. Cox

conference. and the meeting with the
general manager was postponed until yes
terday. Some Of the ma ers were the sal
aries OF through ard local freight con-
ductors There is only about S. difference
IN salaries between the two classes # en-
proves. The local conductor claims that he
Is entitled to more wages, since he has a
good deal more work TO do. Another evil
which was broken UP was the long through
runs. Formerly conductors ran from
Macon to Montgomery. They were COM
PEELED to be out four days, and if the train
was delayed they were out longer
The remedy for this was TO cut
che train up into three parts
That is, put three conductors on
the run. One go on at Macon, another at
Smithville and another at point between
Smithville and Montgomery General
Manager Gabbett met the employees most
cordially, and wherever he saw that the
company conld consistently concede to the
wishes of she employees, Mr.. Gabbett gave
ready consent. 1t is reported that the con-
ductors are complaining on account of new
men being imported from the South Caro-
lima railway to positions on the Central It
is tho custom on the road to promote train
hands to conductors, and if a conductor
comes from another road to the Central he
is put to work as a train hand and he must
rise from that position as the other men.
The matter will be adjusted, if the evil
really exists, doubtless, when Mr.. Gabbett
comes back from his trip to Atlanta.

Judge Earden's Charge-Ten Indict-
nents Found.
The grand jury of the city court was Or
ganized yesterday afternoon at o'clock,
and S. P. Hamilton was appointed foreman
Judge Harden gave the jury an earnest
charge. He particularly dwelt upon the
violations of the law with reference to SELL
ing liquor TO minors, and to drunkards,
which offence is subservient to other and
greater crimes, and charged tho jury, as he
has often done, to inquire into and
present all such violations. He
referred in terms Of tho strongest kind
of disapprobation to the offense of keeping
gambling houses, and of gambling, which
should be suppressed by the enforce nent of
the laws. The jury was also directed to ir-
Guire into and present railroads, under the
law, which do not provide drinking water
on their cars.
the grand jury retired, and it was nearly
dark when it came in with ten indictments
as follows:
Assault and battery-Ben Aiken upon
Bob Roberts; Z. A. Fulton on Bern ard

A REMINDER OF M'ALLIsTER.

MAJ. Anderson Receives a Letter
from One Of Sherman's Men.
Mr.. George L. Appleton of Bryan county
requests the MORNING NEWS to publish the
following interesting letter, reminiscent of
the capture of Fort McAllister, and Gen.
Sherman's 'march to the sea-" twenty-five
years ago;
BUFFALO, Jan. 81. 1890.
Maj. g. ". anderson, Savannah Ga:
DEAR SIB-About twenty five years ago YOU
and met at Fort McAlister Georgia, under
circumstances of which this genera ion knows
but little. You, of course, do not remember
me, as was only one who took small part in
that conflict, in which you commanded and, in
| my opinion, commanded well. But we had too
| many for your brave little band, and of course
come out on top. 1t was not your fault. have
often thought of you, and would like to see you
| and have talk with you. 1t was in Gin
cinnau last September that 1 learned
| from Henry Beckman member Of
my regiment, your address. I was glad to
know that you still live. l remember to have
| seen you but once. 1t was after the surrender
| at Fort McAllister. You were standing with A.
| =. Parry, colonel OF my regiment, talking to
| him. AS l marched my company out of the
| fort started to pass you, when you threw your
hand up and told me not to go out that way.
You directed me to the right way out. l after
| ward found that had gone out as l started
l would have been blown I'D
by torpedoes. Do you remember it?
want TO ask you why you did not punish our
| left more. My regiment was on our left, and as
my company, b. was on the extreme left of the
| regiment, it brought me near the waters edge
| We lost but one man, and only three or four
were wounded. Maj. Taylor had two of his
| fingers shot off.
| 1 have piece of your flag, secured while we
were in the fight. would be glad to hear from
| you. Yours respectfully,
Late First Lieutenant Company B, Forty
| seventh Ohio Volunteers
| Maj. Anderson prizes the letter highly
and he will preserve it as a treasure.
Mr.. Appleton, from whom this letter is
secured, lives within mile of Fort Meal
lister in Bryan county, and he says that
the old fort is still in a remarkable state

TO PUSH RIGHT AHEAD.
THE SAVANNAH CONSTRUCTION
co. TO BE ORG ANIzED AT ONCE

The South Carolina subscriptions 70
the Stock to be Completed in Few
DAYS, and a Committee to Place the
Rest Of the Stock North-.The Termi-
nal Conference Not Yet Held-CoL
Brown and the BlackviIie, Aston and
| Newberry Road.
The interest in the South Bound was re-
vived yesterday by the return Of Col Mike
Brown TO the city He was in conference
in the afternoon with Alderman Herman
Myers of the South Bound and other stock
holders of the road and subscribers to the
construction company.
Col Brown brought with him four South
Carolina subscriptions to the construction
company, amounting to about half the
amount he was limited to, and he expects
to receive the others by mail, as the time
was too short for him to visit the parties
who desire stock in the company.
1t was learned last night that the COM
mittee appointed by the city council and
the South Bound directory to confer on the
matter of rights Of way through certain
streets of the city to a terminal for the
South Bound, have not yet met for confer
ence, but that the meeting will come off
before the next meeting of the city council.
A COMMITTEE TO GO NORTH.
The seeming delays in the work of finish
ing up the subscriptions to the stock of the
construction company should not be taken
as an inference that there is any hitch in
the enterprise. There are few details to
be arranged, after which it is understood
that committee of two or three will go on
to New Y ork and close up the subscription,
q de IF tba far
prise stand ready there to consummate by
taking block of stock.
Col Brown was asked yesterday what is
meant by the Columbia telegram that he
and General Manager johnson of the Three
Us road were about to confer in relation to
the extension of the Three C's to the coast
via the Blackville, Aston and Newberry
railroad. He replied that no conference of
the kind has been had. He did not seem
inclined to pursue the subject, and was in
terrupted just at the time the interview
was becoming interested.
CAN'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING.
He said, however, that he could not take
time to answer all the things published
about him by the Charleston press in con-
nection with the South Bound, but he would
say that he proposed to keep faith with the
Savannah people, as no one wants to see
the South Bound completed to Savannah
more than he does.
1t has all along been understood that the
Backville, Aston and Newberry road was
to be part of the South Bound, and the
link to connect Savannah with Columbia
and the north.
When Col. Brown addressed the business
mems meeting last year in this city he said
that the Blackville, Aston and Newberry
railroad would be utilized in reaching Co
lumbia to connect with the Piedmont Air
Line, shortening the distance to the north
about eighty miles, and it is understood
that he controls the Blackville, Aston and
Newberry railroad, and there appears to
be nothing to indicate any changes in the
programme.

SALE OF TEE GRAND PACIFIC.
L. 2. Letter Buys the Lease on Chicago's
Big Hotel for Little Money.
From the Neao York Herald.


Big Hotel for Little Money.
From the Ne10 York Herald
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. 9-The sale of half
of the lease of the Grand Pacific hotel for
$4,000 to L. e. Letter, owner of a part of
the land on which the hotel stands, goes to
show the enormous increase in ground
values in Chicago When the Grand Pacific
was built in 1872-'13 its cost was about
$4,000. An agreeLuen was made to pay
an per cent. rental on a portion of the
ground and "a per cent. rental on the
remainder, a revaluation to take place
every ten years. No revaluation has
been had for twenty years, but
short time ago Mr.. Letter informed
Drake, Parker &c Co., lessees of the hotel,
that he should dema I'D revaluation this
year. AS the entire ground on which the
hotel stands is worth about $4,000, 900, this
would make the ground rent about S175, 900
year, in addition to thu rent paid for the
hotel, which would be more than the lessees
could stand. Mr.. Letter, therefore offered
$40, 900 for the lease so far as his ground
was concerned, he to ha We, in addition, the
rent of all the stores in the building except
one. BY the rise in the value of the ground
the value of the hotel building, which was
erected by the Rock Island and Lake Shore
railroad companies, is practically wiped
out. That part of the land not owned by
Mr.. Letter is the property of the North
western university at Evanston, and cost
S., 900 in 1865.
In case Chicago gets the worlds fair two
stories will be added to the hotel, the lease

MR.. BoURoU1N IN HIGH FEATHER.

Mr.. Bourquin was very much elated over
what he considers a great victory. He says
that an effort was made to dlssuade him
from going on the ground by the threat OF
ducking him in the canal, but he took
all risks, and as nearly every one COM
plimented him who passed along the road
yesterday and tho day before, he
is much better pleased than when the re-
suit of the mo fence" election was an
nounced, and some of the country friends
whom he lost by his active interest in tho
mo fence" election, have Topped back as
BourGuin men for his activity in road work:
In fact they like him better than ever now,
sn1 many of them told him 50 yesterday.
