WENTAGAINST THE BANK
A VERDICT IN THE oUILMARTIN
CASE FOR $4,000.

The Jury Out Little Over an Hour.
The Carhart and Other Claims to Be
Paid by the Bank, Provided the
Supreme Court Af1rms the Judg-
ment in the Guilmartin Case-An
Appeal to Be Taken.
The Merchants National Bank will have
to pay for the sscuritiey stolen by Cashier
Gsdsden. 10 ne
That was the finding Of the jury which
has been trying the Guilmartin bond case
against the bank since last Thursday.
Judge Hardens charge to the jury yes
terday morning occupied about an hour
in delivery, aud was an exhaustive resume
of the case. The law was clearly and con-
oisely stated, and the charge was one Of the
abless ever given jury by Judge Harden.
The claims of both the plaintiff and defend
ant, and the law governing each, were made
as clear as words could make 1t.
After about an hours elaboration the
jury aauounced that a verdict had been
reached. !, The attorneys were sent for. and
when they arrived the jury was brought
down. On The verdict read as follows:
1--WE, the Jury, tird tor the plaintiff In
the sum OF SIC, $50 o. Principal at 1851
SIC ,275; interest from May TO June ], 1891,
at I per cent, s94 cor ~
As soon as,the clerk finished reading the
verdict Mr.. West asked the court for an
| assignment of the Carharr case against the
bank, which is similar TO- the Guilmartin
suit. Hon. F. @. duBignon Of counsel for
| the bank stated that he thought it hardly
necessary, as the bank will probably allow
all other claims under the verdict in the
| Guilmartin case. provided, OF course. Ii is
upheld by the supreme court. MIR. du-
Bignon's statement indicates that an appeal
will be made.
The verdict was not q surprise TO those
who had followed the evidence in the case.
The fact Of some of the present officers OF
the bank having known of the special trans
actions being carried on by Gadsden al
cashier, and having awaited themselves OF
its advantages, knocked the props from I'M
der the banks plea OF non-liabihty. The
case was one OF the most hotly contested
| ever tried 10 Savannah.

Important trade Name Decision


Judge Thayer. of the United States cir
cult court at St Louis, has recently handed
down an opinion. and granted q perpetual
injunction against the defendants in the
case Of the Hoststter Company against the
Bruggemau. Reinert Distilling Company,
ALIAS "Gold Spring Distilling Company"
prohibiting the advertising, manufacturing
or selling OF any article of stomach bitters
either in bulk. by the gallon or other wise,
or in any way making use Of the name
Hostetter" except in connection with the
sale of the genuine bitters, which are
always sold in bottles securely sealed; and
also prohibiting the sale Of any bitters in
bulk though the name "Hostetter" be not
used. but the suggestion made TO the pur-
chaser that he can put them in the empty
Hostetter bottles, and purchasers would not
discover the difference. His decision
supports The Hostetter Company in the
exclusive use of the name "Hostetter" in
connection with either the manufacture or
sale Of stomach bitters In any manner or
form whatsoever, and firmly establishes its
ownership in the name "Hostettern as q

The vote polled was forty-six-the largest

There were also many members present

In compliance with the order the polls
were opened promptly at o'clock, with
Magistrate Warning Russell presiding, and
the following freeholders, which are required
under the law:1 A Moe. Duncan, John A

TEE cENrRAL,s NEW ROADS.
The New Routs to Chattanooga Being

| The New Routs to Chattanooga Being
Put in Shape for Fast Travel.
General Manager Gabbett Of the Central
railroad, who has just returned from tour
of inspection of the Chattanooga, Rome and
Columbus and the Macon and Northern
railroads, the Central railroads recent pur-
chases, says that the Chattanooga, Rome
and Columbus IS in fine condition. 1t is
new road and well built.
1t will be necessary to make some i'm
provements on the Savannah, Griffin and
North Alabama, however, before the new
route from Savannah to Chattanooga VIII
be put in operation. A through schedule
from Savannah to Chattanooga will be
arranged some time this summer. A
through train will not be run to- Chatta-
nooga, but through sleeper will be put on,
which will be transferred to the Chatta-
nooga division at Griffin Passengers leav-
ing Savannah for Chattanooga will then
have the choice Of two routes via the Gen.
trail, one through Atlanta and over the
Western ana Atlantic, and the other by
way of Griffin and the Chattanooga, Rome
and Columbus. As it Is only seventeen
miles further by the latter route, the time
will be about the same, as the time occupied
in coming into, transferring and going out
Of Atlanta will more than equal the time
occupied in running the extra seventeen
miles This Is based upon the caloulatio on
that the Central railroad and the Western
and Atlantic make about the same time,
which they do.
Mr. Gabbett was delighted with Chicka-
manga and the country in that section. he
says Chickamauga Is one Of the most beauti-
full spots he has ever seen.
There is no reason why Chickamaugaa and
the country round about should not become
as popular with Savennahtans as summer
resort as Asheville Is. IL Is the same char
acter of country, and the scenery Is as beau
tiful as is TO be found anywhere along the
Blue Ridge. Lookout mountain
and Chattanooga are near bv.i
It would not be surprising IL the Contra
should put on cheap rates and excursions to
Chickamauga another year.
MIR. Gabbett returned through Athens
and via the Macon and NortheD. The work.
of putting this road In good condition will
soon be under way. A new schedule has al
ready been arranged. The morning train
now leaves Athens at O'Clock, ar
irving at Macon at 1910 O'Clock,
con Meeting with the trains for Atlanta and
Sa vannah, and leaves Macon for Athens at
8 O'Clock in the afternoon, arriving about
10 80 o'clock at night
An accommodation train will also be run
between Macon and Athens. The schedule
will be much better one than the people
along the line Of road have heretofore en-
joyed.

RAIL AND CROsSTIE.

The Macon Telegraph says: Interest on
the Georgia Southern and Macon and Biz
mingham railroad bonds is payable within
thirty days Of this date. 1t amounts tc
about 500, 900. Some doubt has been ex-
pressed as to the probability of the payment
being made. Those who are posted, how
ever, say that 1t can be done by using part
Of the earnings Of the road and the issue OF
receivers certificates for the balance. Il ii
said that some of the officials are inclined
to take advantage of the ninety-dav limit
which allows three months tune Ia which
to pay the interest. This would bring it UT
TO Oct. 1. By this time the interest could
all be paid in cash, and IL would not be
necessary TO issue any certificates for tina,

An Appropriation Needed to Put the
Cemetery in Better Condition.
There has been some complaint about the
condition Of Laurel Grove cemetery. A
MORNING NEWS reporter asked DR.. R. B.
Harris, chairman Of the health and ceme-
terry committee Of council, yesterday about
the matter.
"The cemetery is in good condition. said
DIR. Harris. "Not as good as it might be, Of
course, for there are good many improve
ments thnt might be made. We expect to
put it I'm better condition, however, IL we
can secure an appropriation sufficiently
large. We have got brick pavement now
from where the cars stop on the Ogeechee
road TO the cemetery gate. This is great
accommodation to the visitors to the GENE
terry, especially the ladies, as they do not
have to walk through the sand now,
which is very deep there. We expect to
still further improve the cemetery in this
direction by Smelling the three main walks
or drives through the cemetery, which
would greatly improve its appearance.
There is great room for improvement in
this line. as the cemetery has scarcely any
walks to speak Of except the sandy roads. +"
The present appropriation, DR.. Harris
said, is barely sufficient for keeping up the
cemetery. I'VE will ask for larger
appropriation next year" he added. 1.-The
cemetery certainly Is In better condition,
though, than it was two or three years ago.
We appreciate the fact that it is not in as
good condition as 1t should be, but 1t is kept
up as we'll as it can possibly be kept with
the present appropriation. There is large
amount OF space at the back Of the cemetery
that will have to be filed up some time in
the next few years. The cemetery is
crowded now. and will have TO be enlarged
some time soon. We are thinking of taking
in ten acres on the south side, next the COL
ored peoples portion. This will have to be
filed up too. There is no doubt that we
could make great many improvements in
Laurel Grove IL we had the money"

for the Bullet But Fail to Find it.
Patrick Lynch, who keeps bar at Gas
ton aud Montgomery streets, attempted
suicide yesterday morning by putting a
bullet through his jaw, but from present
indications he will not die.
Lynch has not prospered in the saloon
business for some time, and has been drink
Ing heavily. He got into trouble with the
courts last spring, and a case was made
against him for allowing gambling on his
premises. A Ehrlich was one of his bonds
men. Suspecting last week that Lynch
was about to skip his bond Mr..
Ehrlich surrendered him to the officers.
Lynch eadeavored to escape, and
q lively scramble ensusd between him and
Deputy Sheriff Constantine, an account Of
which was published in the MORNING
NEWS.
TURNED LOOSE ON BOND.
Lynch was carried to jail, but was after
ward released on a bond. he has been
drinking heavily since and appeared quite
desperate He remarked that he had a
notion to kill himself.
Yesterday morning about 10 O'Clock he
walked into bis bar and, picking up b.
caliber Smith & Wesson pistol which lay
behind the bar, walked into an adjoining
room. Shortly afterward the report of a

tended Lynch, and be was taken to st.
Joseph's Infirmary in carriage. where Drs.
Dunn, Read and German attended him.
COULDN'T FIND THE BULLET.

cluded that Lynch had either swallowed it
or spit il out. The ball penetrated the
right cheek and into the mouth and did not
enter the brain.
A MORNING NEWS reporter saw Lynch
at the infirmary last night. He appeared
TO be in stupor, and the attendants said
he had talked very little except incoher-
emily since he was brought in. His physi-
clans do not consider the wound fatal

THE CREMAToRYs WORK.
II is Doing More Than 1t Was Expected
It Would Do.

IL ID OOlnR more IMAM IL w as Expected
It Would Do.
Chairman Harris of the health and
cemetery committee of council says that
the new crematory is doing fine work, and
II the people would only separate the ashes
from the garbage it would be able to burn
about all the garbage of the city.
There is an ordinance making the separa-
ton of garbage and ashes imperative, and
the city is endeavoriag to enforce it, but
with some difficulty. The people do not
seem to realize the advantage that accrues
to the city in having its filth and garbage
consumed. Two receptacles are all that is
necessary, one for the ashes and
one for the garbage. DR.. Harris
said that the crematory Is really ac-
complishing more than was contracted
for. 1t is burning on an average about
ninety cubic yards Of garbage a day and
about thirty eight cubic yards Of night
soil. DR.. Harris says it will be a vast ad-
vantage to the city when the watermelon
season begins in consuming the vast guam
tity Of watermelon rinds which are always
left to the garbage department to dispose
of
