nothing to the agricultural interests of

FINAL Decree Taken in the Cohen

During His Life-Soott and Hawley
Sue William Kehoe for Extra Work
Done on His New Residence.
The famous Vernon shell road case, or
the suit of the mayor and aldermen of
savannah VS.. the Vernon Shell Road Co.,
was to have been tried in the superior
court Yesterday and was put down as a
special assignment. Unfortunately, how
ever, Mr.. j. r. Saussy, attorney for the
Shell Road company, was taken sick night
before last and the case had to be contin-
ned for the next term. 1t was reassigned
for December.
This case has been in the courts for
wears: sometime ago, under supreme
cour.t decision, a board of arbitrators was
amounted to settle the value of some
land to be taken from the company by
reason of the removal of the toll gate be-
vond the city limits. The arbitrator
awarded the company $1,000, and it APP
pealed the case to a jury claiming that the
award was too small.
The fact that this case was made a
special assignment stopped the criminal
business in the superior court, but on ac-
count of Mir Saussy's illness its cOntin-
uauce was unavoidable.

CRIMINALS INGENUITY.
Peculiar and Interesting Collection of
Burglars Tools.

From the Boston Herald.
Most interesting among the many
sights in the Massachusetts state prison
is the collection of weapons and tools in
| Warden Bridges Office which were taken
from the convicts at various times in
| searching their cells.
There is a good-sized cabinet filled with
implements, while many more are scat
tered about the room. The assortment is
far more interesting and extensive than
| many a museum collection, and on them
may be read the story of the cunning in
genuity and patient perseverance of des-
perate men deprived of their liberty for
years.
Nearly all the articles were made with
in the prison and from materials which
would never suggest TO the average mind
the possibility Of making such tools and
weapons as the plotting cOnvicts secretly
turn out with the rude means at hand
Hack saws for cutting off the thick iron
bars are most common, and a discovery
recently made indicated that convict
was making regular business of manu-
featuring the articles and selling them to
his fellow-prisoners. They are made from
clock springs and are about eight inches
long, with fine and perfectly set teeth A
large stock of these were found in the
suspected convict's cell, aud with
them a quantity of the spring metal cut
up and Strengthened out ready for the
teeth. There was also a machine for
tempering the blades, a pieceof gaspipe
with steel plugs screwed into either end
The blades would be placed inside and
heated over the gas jets. 1t was with
these blades in cleverly constructed
frames, that large number of inch-thick
iron bars were sawed off a short time ago
on the night that three separate breaks
from the cells to the corridors were made
Next in number are the billies and
slung-shOts One of these billies, or short
clubs, is beautiful weapon being made
of leather washers pressed tightly on a
steel core and finely polished Ruder
weapons are made from ball of lead or
iron in an old stocking or leather case
There are many jack screws. A favor
lite and simple style IS 10 place a piece of
gaspipe over heavy bolt on which is cut
q deep thread and an easy running nut.
Tho jack is placed between two bars, and
then as the nut is screwd down the bolt
the pipe is pushed off and the bars forced
apart. An interesting weapon was used
in the recent break and attack on night
officer Patten. 1t is an imitation revolver
made OF wood so cleverly that if pointed
at man where the light was not good
it would strike terror to the heart of any
but the most reckless.
There are Internal machines made
from alarm clocks to ignite a card of
matches when the alarm goes off, lines
with large, padded hooks to throw over
the walls for scaling, daggers, slipnooses
for strangling an officer, and jinmies and
drills for digging out the bricks in the
cells.
The dummy figures used TO deceive the
officers when a prisoner is out of his cell
or busy within and wishes the Waterman
TO think him asleep, are wonderful works
of ingenuity, some being startingly life
like.

MORE TESTIMONY TO COME.
Another Hearing to be Had in the
Fifth District Contest.

Another Hearing to be Had in the
Fifth District Contest.
E9The testimony in the Fifth district con-
tested election is not ended yet, and it
will probably be some time before it
is all in.
For the third time Justice Sheftall took
testimony yesterday bearing on the con-
test. All the witnesses so far have been
examined, but it is likely that there are
more to come in. The court adjourned
the hearing for an indefinite time.
The proceedings yesterday were
devoid Of especial interest. One man
whose name was on the list of voters
could not be found, and upon a further
inspection of the list and the bal
lo4s, six alleged to have voted could
not be found. Three negroes testi-
fed that they were refused the right to
vote when they were entitled to cast
their ballots. They stated that had they
been allowed to vote they would have put
in their ballots for Black There were
eight ballots which were suspected, and
upon examination it was found that seven
of them had been voted for Smith and
one for Brown.
AT the conclusion of the testimony JUS
tice Shetfall adjourned the court in order
that the contestant, Black, may have an
opportunity to produce more witnesses
and complete the testimony in his behalf.

RAIL AND cRossrIE.

A Louisville, KY, dispatch announces a
sweeping reduction in wages on the Lou
isville and Nashville. president Milton
H Smith of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad, has issued circular notifying
the employees of the sweeping reduction
in salaries. The cut affects all employees
except trainmen, as their salaries could
not be touched on account of an agree
ment made with the various organiza-
tions of trainmen, at their last meeting
held in this city. The pay of all officers
receiving 1888 33 q month or over is cut 20
per cent! The pay of all officers and en-
ployes receiving not less than $50 a month
nor more than 1888. 33 is reduced 10 per
cent. Those receiving over $45 and not
over $50 are reduced to $45. A reduction
has already been made in the working
force at the shops, and some such step
as this was anticipated by the other en-
ployes.n

THE LEAGUE WOUND Up.
The Fund Divided and the Clubs Get
About $500 Apfece

About $500 Apiece.
The picture Of the Southern League is
now turned toward the wall. Not only
has the eastern division collapsed. but
the western division, as predicted in the
MORNING News yesterday, has gone too.
The league meeting at Atlanta settled the
whole matter II brought out the
fact that the gold mine which was said 10
exist in or about the league treasurer
headquarters, had dwindled down to the
insignificant sum of $1,000. The division
of this fund gave each of the clubs re-
naming in the league something over $500.
The closing Of the season so suddenly
undoubtedly cut Savannah out of the
second series pennant. Manning's men
were making a bold dash, and with a
little more time and the good ball PLAYING
the team put up in the last three weeks.
the pennant would certainly have been
landed in Savannah. 1t is all
over now, and the local fans
are agreed that It's better to have played
and lost than never to have played at
all
The Atlanta meeting did not consider
the matter of a league for next season.
The October meeting will do all of that
There will, without q doubt be two
leagues, divided something like the east
ern and western division in the second
series. Each league will be
composed of eight clubs, and in
this way base ball can be made
a success in the south. When the roll is
called Savannah will be among the first
to answer.
In the meantime the amateurs are get
ting themselves together, and the fans
will be entertained with amateur playing
during the balance of the season.

Detective Wetherhorn Will Probably
Have Sternberg Here by That
Time.
Detective Wetherhorn will arrive IN
New York to-day and will go right to
Albany to present Gov. Northen's requi-
sition for Simon Sternberg to Gov.
Flower. As soon as it is honored he will
bring Sternberg from New York direct to
Savannah, arriving here Monday night,
or at latest Tuesday morning
1t will be impossible for Sternberg to
have trial at this term of the superior
court, as the criminal business will con-
tinue no longer than Saturday. His
friends will endeavor to give bail for him.
1t was stated yesterday that Stern
berg's friends were endeavoring to settle
the case with the Citizens bank, and If
possible stop the prosecution.

not reached.
1t was the case of Andrew Hanley vs.

in which Scott & Hawley claim that Ke-
hoe owes them a balance of s., 800 for ex-
ira work on his residence. Mr.. Kehoe
claims that he only owes them SIT. o.
Scott 81 Hawley owe Andrew Hanley
1000, and unless they get the money
claimed for this extra work they will be
unable to pay Mr.. Hanley this amount,
which was for materials used. The case
will be continued to-day. Scott and. Hawley
and Mr.. Hanley are represented by Gar
rard Meldrim and Newman, and O'Con-
