MURDER OF The HABRTELs.
A Dark and Unsolved Crime Recalled
by a south Carolina Arrest.

A Dark and Unsolved Crime Recalled
by Il south Caroline Arrest.
The arrest Of a negro in South Carolina
on suspicion Of a murder there, and the
statement thaS he is also suspected of being
the murderer Of the Haertel family in Sa-
vannsh, recalls tragedy the mystery sur
rounding which has never been solved.
The murder Of the Haertes is one of the
darkest crimes in the history Of Chatham
county. The Haertel family lived in
rooms adjoining the store kept by Haertel
at Bolton street aud Waters road. Sunday
morning, Aug. %, 1888, Haertel's body
was found lying in a pool Of blood in front
Of the counter in his store. His skull was
crushed in and a cash extended across the
back of his head. His throat bore the
marks of fingers. Across his eyes ana
around his head handkerchief was closely
tied, completely blindfolding him. From
all appearances. Hsertel was drawing q
measure Of syrup from . barrel when be
was struck the fatal blow.
In the parior, adjoining the store, lay
the body Of Mrs. Haertel. lt bore
the marks Of the most brutal treat
ment. Her skull was cut open
and the bralns exuded aud her
left arm was completely severed
vestigation continued for weeks and sew
eral arrests were made, but the crime was
never fastened upon any one. A negro
who was held on suspicion long time, and
who was generally believed TO be the muir
derer, came near being lynched in the old
jail but be was finally released. When the
old jail was demolished few years ago
the negro who was working on the building
was lcaught under a caving wall and
was crushed 10 death nearly underneath the
cell where be was confined for the Haertel
crime. Many who recalled his arrest in
connection with the murder believed his
death to be q case Of retribution.
The threatened attempt to lynch the
negro confined In the old jail on
suspicion OF having committed the
murder was the last attempt but one that
has been made at lynchiug in this county.
An armed mob gathered ia the park and 10
front Of the old jail, which stood at Whita-
ker and Hall streets, but squad OF police
armed with rifles dispersed the crowd, and
the efforts of Gen. r. II. Anderson, then
chief Of police, succeeded in preventing an
assault The Haertel crime occupied the
public for nearly year, and was handed
down as an unsolved mystery.

a PARALLEL AsR.

United States Court Decision in Re-
gard to Railroad strikes.
In speaking of the much talked Of strike
prominent railroad man cited au instance
mentioned in the dispatches Of the MoRNING
NEWS yesterday as a parallel case, and he
seemed 70 take the fact that the two cases
are very similar as somewhat significant.
The case was that of the Toledo, Ann
Arbor and Lake Michigan railroad, upon
which q strike is now in progress. The en-
gineers on the roads IN the territory of the
above road refused, as is usual, to take
the traffic Of that road upon
which the strike was in
progress. The United States court took a
hand in the matter and decided that the
other roads In that territory must accept
freight from the Ann Arbor, Toledo and
Lake Michigan, and that an order would be
issued to that effect. Later it was also
stated that Chief Arthur said that the
strikers we're willing TO declare the strike
of il the road officials would meet their
employees as individuals and listen to their
grievances.
This case is looked upon by Central
railroad officials as peculiarly significant
and is stated as being of interest in view Of
the fact that the engineers on the Central
are TO carry their grievances before the
United States court in whose hands the
road now is. The officials of the road
maintain that they are always ready to
meet their employees as individuals and
listen to their grievances but they say they
will not recognize the engineers as an or
ganization.
When Judge Speer returns an appoint
ment will DO made between him and the
committee of the engineers, and the matter
will be considered. This will probably be
at an early date.

TIE SANITARY BOARD.

It Does Not Believe in Stopping Gil
Excavations in the Summer.
A meeting Of the sanitary board was
ordinance prohibiting the upturning OF soil
between May l and Nov. l was discussed at
length. The board decided that IL will only
insist upon its enforcement as far as streets
and lanes are concerned and other excava-
tions which the board may consider danger
Gus to the health of the citizens.
Dr. Drummer said the board
looked upon the proposition to stop excava-
tions Of all kinds. as really bar to the prog
ress of the city as far as building is cons
cerned, for six months out OF each year. and
the board does not feel like committing
itself to any such idea.
1t is understood, however, that the matter
will be brought before the city council to-
morrow night, and steps will be taken
looking to more effective ordinance than
the present one.
The dry well nuisance is one of the things
the city has to deal with and which il
causing, and is likely to cause, a good deal
ottrouble- Two cases where unsanibary con-
ditions are threatening the health of the &C.
cupants Of the houses where dry wells
exist on Montgomery street have re-
Gently been reported to the health
officer. No action was taken,
however, except to secure a report through
an inspector. The matter was again re-
ported yesterday during a meeting of the
ssnltray board, but DR.. Drummer said the
report was not before the meeting and was
not discussed. The constitutionality Of the
ordinance comforting upon the city
the right tot abolish dry wells
and order them filed up is also questioned.
The condition Of the wells on MONTGOMERY
street reported TO the health officer is said
TO be such as to require immediate atten-
ton. The matter was reported TO the au-
thorities last week but no steps have been
taken 70 abate the danger

TO INVEST IN SAVANNAH.

The United States Mortgage Com
psny to Locate an Agency here.
President Charles R. Henderson of the
United States Mortgage Company of New
York and sMr. Keep of Buffalo, advisory
counsel, were in the city yesterday, having
come to Savannah at the solicitation of Mr..
Frank X. Douglass, agent of the New York
Mutual Life Insurance Company, to con-
slider Savannah as point for establishing
an agency for the mortgage company.
The United States Mortgage Company is
one of the largest institutions Of its kind in
the country, and it does an immense bust
ness. Its interests are closely allied with
those of the Mutual Life, many of its
directors being trustees of that great in
surance company. The two companies CO.
operate one with the other, and they are
largely under the management Of similar
interests.
Being in the hands Of such enterprising
and influential men the United States Mort
gage Company is calculated to benefit any
section it enters. Mr.. Douglass and Mr.
Bussey were both influential in
inducing these gentlemen to come south to
examine Savannah with view to locat-
ing an agency here. aud while in the
city no pains were spared 10 make them
thoroughly acquainted with the business
standing and commercial Importance OF the
community.
The result Is these gentlemen we're very
greatly impressed with the advantages of
Savannah as point Of operations, and on
their return to New York they will formu-
late a plan for the establishment OF an
agency of the mortgage company here.
There is little doubt of this being done y
said MIR. Douglass last night, land it will
have tendency to boom Savannah. The
gentlemen we're favorably impressed with
the importance of Savannah from business
standpoint, aud after operating here for
while, they may in the course Of time con.

do NOT HAVE JURISDICTION.

Judge MacDonen Throws Out the
Kelly Hebeas Corpus Writ.
The habeas corpus proceedings of r. N g..
Stunt for the possession of Mary Ann
Kelly. who he alleged was Illegally detained
by the matron Of Telfair hospital, full ac-
counts of which have already appeared in
the MORNING NEWS, were dismissed yester-
day afternoon by Judge haoDonell in the
city court.
The court room was fairly filed with
spectators when the case was called. The
lady managers Of the Louisa Porter home,
who are the temporary guardians of the
girl under appointment of Judge Ferrill,
occupied seats in the jury box. The first
thing done was the presentation Of physi-
CLANS certificate that the gIrl too Ill 10 be
allowed out OF the hospital, which
Judge MacDonell accepted. Then Charl-
ton, Mackall a. Anderson presented an
answer to the writ of habeas corpus, asking
for its dismissal on the ground that the city
court had no jurisdiction, as the court of
ordinary had already acted. Mr.. Charlton
said il any error had been committed by
that court the only tribunals which could
correct it are the superior or supreme court.
The proceedings were entirely out of the
jurisdiction of the city court, as the court
of ordinary has a full power over minor
children and their estates, the appointments
of guardians, ETC.
Judge O'Byrne resisted and sought to
prove by authorities that the city court
should hear evidence in the case before
making any decision. Judge MacDonell,
however, decided that his tribunal did not
have jurisdiction and dismissed the writ.
The case will be thoroughly ventilated in
all its particulars when the permanent
guardianship matter comes up Saturday
before the court of ordinary.
