the petition of the Savannah. Florida and
Western railway for the extension of
water mains on its property, that while
the railway company was entitled to pro-

eAFFNET MUST PAY THE FINE.
Council spent about an hour in hearing
the Gaffney appeal case. Frank Gafney,
it will be remembered, was fined 500 or
r ssiGf3 days in time by si6 6es
for outrageous conduct while under
the influence of liquor. The witnesses
against Gaffney before council last night
were ]. J. Sullivan, in whose place the
misconduct took place. his barkeeper, T.
J. Davis, Mr.. E. G. Workman and Police
Sergeant Baughn. Carney offered no
witness in defence, but only entered
general denial of the charge.
Hneas Way, Esq, who represented Mr..
Sullivan. made a strong argument for the
prosecution.
MIR. w. w. Osborne, Gaffney's attorney,
made an ingenious defense, claiming that
it was only a aggravated case of drunk
and disorderly conduct, and did not merit
the heavy fine imposed.
When the case was submitted to couu-
Gil, Alderman Mcmillan moved that the
recorders decision be sustained.
Alderman Dixon moved, as substitute,
that the recorders decision be sustained
and the fine reduced to $25.
Alderman Dixon gave an interesting
dissertation upon the effects of in
| toXicants upon men of different
| habits and constitution, which demon
strated close study of the subject from
a scientific standpoint. Aldermen Myers
| seconded Alderman Dixons motion.
On the vote the amendment was lost,
| and Alderman McMillan's motion to sus-
| tain the recorders decision was carried.
