A Coin Century Old Picked Up IN

A Coin Century Old Picked Up IN
Margaret Streets Sand. ,
After one Of the heavy thunder-storms
during the first week of July an old citizen
of Savannah, John Clancy, was walking
down Margaret street near his home. The
street had been flooded by the
rain, and the sand had been
washed clean. Noticing this Mr..
Clancy picked up shovelful of the sand to
carry into the house to BIO used for securing
knives and for other household purposes.
He threw the sand down on block of wood
in one corner, and did not think of it again.
Several days afterward he was washing
in the room and threw some water on the
block of wood, where the sand still Law.
His eye was attracted by something
bright in the sand, and he picked up what
he at first thought was a half dollar,
When he examined it he found it to be an
old Spanish piece, coined in 1851. On one
side it bore woman's head, with the in
scriptIon, "Carolus III. Del Gratia," on the
reverse the Spanish coat of arms, with the
inscription, "Hispan. ct Ind. Rex. ar
p. R."
The coin is much worn, but the inscrip-
tions are easily distinguishable 1t is 100
years old aud may have been lying in the
sands Of Savannah over half that time.

The Oglethorpe Light Infantry held a

report of the committee entrusted with the
arrangements for the celebration of the
twenty-ninth anniversary of memorable
First Manassas. The company will assem-
BILE at the armory on Monday, July 81, at
3:15 o'clock, and move at $3.50 O'Clock,
taking the Coast Line cars at the intersec-

whence they will proceed to Harmon's
range, and there have their annual target
practice. Refreshments appropriate to the
season and occasion will be provided, and
the band of she First volunteer regiment of
Georgia will furnish the music.
The Oglethorpe Light Infantry has a
uniformed strength of seventy-six men and
expect to turn out seventy. This will ex-
coed any parade of single company since

Patrick's day, and Company G of the

THE CHATHAM HALLS LOSSES.
They VIII Foot up in the Neighbol
boorhood of $500.

They VIII Foot up in the Neighbor
boorhood of $4,000.
The total losses by the Chatham new hall
fire yesterday morning foot up in the neigh
borhood of $3.50.
The building. owned by the Chatham
Light Infantry, cost 81 800, but it was worth
considerably less. 1t was covered by 81, 90
insurance. The guns, carriages and equip
ments of the Georgia Artillery were worth
about q. 900. No insurance.
William Haywood, colored upholsterer
lost about s3OOin furniture and tools, upor
which there was no insurance.
Schreiner & Bows (colored), butchers,
lost about 500 in stock; no insurance.
GowaR Fields, (colored), barber, lost moi
more than SIS, as he saved most of his fur
niture.
The Savannah Hussars and the Chatham
Light Infantry lost some Of their equip
ments
Four small houses in Gwinnett street
lane, owned by John Juchter, were dam
aged, but are fully insured.
The Georgia Artillery is not discouraged
by its losses. Capt. j. c. Simmons says
that instead Of having two new guns TO
buy they will now buy four, The
colored artillery company in the
state, and Capt. Simmons says its
members and friends will not see it go down.
Four new guns can be secured for 81 500,
he says, and the money will be raised. Two
hundred dollars was guaranteed yesterday,
one party subscribing S25. The artillery
will maiatain its organization in spite Of
fire and all other circumstances.
Chatham new hall was erected and owned
by the Chatham Light Infantry (colored).
The ground upon which it stood is the
property Of John Juchter. and the COM
pany held a ten year lease upon it. The
hall was erected at n cost of 81, 500, but was
not worth over $1,000, the amount for
which it was insured. The ten years lease
OF the site expired in February,
but the company continued to occupy
the hall by some understanding with the
owner of the land. 1t was reported on the
streets yesterday that the company had
been notified to vacate.
1t seems that the affairs Of the company
are In bad condition, financially and
otherwise. The company was divided into
two factions, the old members, who claimed
that they had put their money into it, and
the young members, who wanted to rule
things because they had been recognized
by the state. 1t is the general belief that
the fire was Of incendiary origin.
1t was fortunate fire for the COMPANY
at any rate. The lease had expired and
notice had been given the company to
vacate. There was a heavy debt hanging
over the company, with no means Of paying
II. The insurance money pays the COM
pany's debt and they are at no trouble Of
removing the building.
The white people in the neighborhood are
reloiced at the removal of the building, as
IL has been nuisance for years.
The colored people were accustomed TO
hold balls in the hall, which were frequently
OF dIsorderly character, and were very
annoying to the neighbors.
A rather singular coincidence is the fact
that the day OF the fire the MORNING NEWS
received vigorous protest against the hal,
urging the city authorities to take some
action toward removing the nuisance.

AFTER HALL AGAIN.
Another Charge of Contempt of Court
Against Him.

Against Him.
Norman w. Dodge & Co. have entered
another charge against Luther A. Hall.
They have filed papers with Judge Speer,
asking him to prosecute Hall for contempt
again, on the grounds that Hall has made
statements in letter that are injurious to
them.
Shortly after his first confinement in
Chatham Jail, Mr.. Hall wrote a letter to
Clark q Norman. attorneys, at Mt Vernon,
Montgomery county, with whom he was
associated in several land cases. In this
letter he discussed his prosecution by the
Dodges freely. The letter stated that he
was the victim of a merciless persecution,
that he was in Jail for defending the rights
of the people aud that time would tell who
would rule, the Dodges or the people.
He said that Henry Stuckey, white
man living in Montgomery county, should
be run out of the county, as he had betrayed
his confidence and lied about him.
The contents of the letter became public
property. The Dodges have now entered
complaint against Hall on the ground that
the letter was injurious to them.
A MORNING NEWS reporter saw Mr..
Hall at the Jail yesterday. He says that he
cannot understand how a private letter
written to associate counsel can be made
grounds for prosecution for contempt of
court. He says he has no idea that the
Dodges expect to accomplish anything by
the prosecution, except to put him to
further expense and to keep him in Jail
longer if possible.
'They have publicly stated that it is
their intention to ruin me and that | shall
never leave jail as long as they can possibly
keep me here" said Mr.. Hall. at is a part
of the policy of persecution which the
Dodges have inaugurated against me. They
stated to my daughter that it was their
intention to ruin me-"
Mr.. Hall says the Dodges wish to keep
him in Jail until after the next term OF
court, in which he has several cases against
