Redistricting the County.

Ihere is considerable talk about re-
distributing the county into five commits
sioner districts. The law governing
the question of redistricting is some
what blind. No doubt the intention
was that when a county polled 800
votes it should have five commission
ers. But we can find nothing in the
statutes positively compelling the COM
missioners to redistrict. Sec. SO, title
3, Chap. s, general statutes of 1878
provides that, ''The board of commits
sioners may redistrict their counties
respectively, after each United States
or State census, taking the population
as shown by their said censes as the
basis.'
Sec. 81 of the same title and chapter
reads as follows;
For the first distributing under this
chapter, and for any redistricting to
increase the number of commissioners
from three to five, rendered necessary
in consequence of increase of popula-
tlon, the votes cast at the last annual
election shall be taken as a basis; but
this shall not apply to redistricting
based upon any census taken under the
authority of the United States or of
this State.''
Sec. l, Chap. 6, general laws of 1885
reads, EVERY county shall be
deemed an organized county for the
purposes of this title, and shall have a
board OF county commissioners. In
those counties which are organized
into townships, and poll eight hundred
(0OO) votes or more, the said board
shall consist of five (5) members, and
in all other counties of three (3) mem
bers whose term of office shall be four
AZ years, and until their successors are
elected or appointed and qualified
On the whole, we are of the opinion
that it is the duty of the county COM
misioners to redistrict this fall. The
law presumes that every county that
polls 800 votes or more shall have five
commissioner districts However, it
is not a matter of vital Importance.
Three commissioners can transact the
business as well as five and with less
expense to the county The county
has been increasing rapidly in popula-
ton, and the vote polled at the cleo
ton of 1892 would hardly be a fair
basis for redistricting at present. The
law is plain on this point. Population
must govern. We quote from the
statutes: ''The said districts shall be
bounded by township or ward lines, be
composed of contiguous territory, and
contain, as nearly as practicable, an
equal population If the county is re-
districted this fall it is altogether
probable that new deal will be de-
manded in 1896, after the State census
has been taken. But if any consider
able number of the voters insist upon
having five commissioners our advice
would be to redistrict.

BAKING POWDER.
Z TACKLED FOR SIS, 900 EACH.
Two Street Railways Sued in the City
Court for Damages to That Amount.

Damage suits against both the street
railway companies of Savannah, each for
$1,000, were filed in the city court yester-
day.
Rufus Carson brought suit against the
Electric Railway Company for So 600 dam
ages for injuries to his wife, who, he
states, was passenger on one of the
cars of this company July I, 1893. The
car was, he alleges, careIessly and negli-
gently thrown off the track and Sarah
Carson was injured in the side, chest and
thigh, Tor all Of which she had to pay Sl00
Tor medical attention. He says she was
confined to her bed until Oct. 0, 1898, dur
ing all of which time he was deprived of
her services as manager of his domestic
affairs, for all of which he thinks he is
entitled to damages in the sum of s., 600.
The other suit was filed for W. williams
against the City and Suburban Railway
Company. He also asks So, 900 damages on
the ground that while a passenger on one
of the cars of this line, Sept 49, 1894, he
was set upon by the conductor and motor
man, badly beaten and elected from the
car, although he had paid as he states,
the fare required. Both suits were filed
through George W. Owens. Esq, as coun-

a sEAsIoK BULL DOG.
He Got Aboard the DessouR and Made
the Trip to Savannah.

the Trip to Savannah.
A bulldog belonging in Philadelphia has
been in the habit of going aboard the
Dessoug while she is in port there and
making friends with the officers and
crew. He spent a good deal of his time
aboard. He belongs to someone who has
an Office near the dock, and is always
playing around the ship when she is at
that end of the line.
On the last trip of the Des-
soug TO Philadelphia the dog
remained on board just a little too long.
The gang plank was drawn up and the ship
started off down the river before the dog
was noticed, and before he began TO dis
play any signs Of uneasiness. OF course
he could not be taken back, and IT would
not have done to have put him over
board although near the city. and the only
other way open was to give him a sea trip
to Savannah and return.
All the way down the dog was pretty
sick, and he kept running around the
boat from one end to the other trying ap-
parcntly to find some place to land, and
rather in doubt whether to jump over
board and risk the chances, or stick to
the ship. When the vessel reached the
Savannah river and began to come up,
the JOY Of the dog knew no bounds he
saw land on either side Of him, soune-
thing he had not seen in two days, and he
wanted to jump overheard and swim
ashore at once. lie had to be chained in
order to keep him aboard. He was kent
tied up all day until the Dessoug left for
Philadelphia yesterday a l o'clock. He
will be restored to his owner on arrival
there.

CORA HARRIS TURNED FREE.
The Recorder Satisfied the Charges
Against Her Were Untrue.

Cora Harris. who was arrested on a
charge preferred by her husband that
she had made a statement to him that
she had killed a man in Cusseta, Ala,
twelve years aSo, was released by Re
corder Wilson yesterday morning.
Roland Harris, the woman's husband,
repeated the story that he told at the
uolice barracks Sunday night, with some
material variations, however. The woman
was put upon the stand and entered a
positive denial that she had ever told
any such story to her husband as that re
lated by him.
The recorder was satisfied from what
he heard that jealousy was the motive
which prompted Harris to make the
charge against his wife, and not fear of
danger to his own life, which was the
motive alleged by him. Harris is a
blind negro, who plays an accordion
around the streets. He and the woman
whom he claims as his wife have
been in the city about three weeks.

GERTIE eRImEs DEAD.
The County Commissioners Had Taken
Care of Her for More Than a Year.

care OF Her Tor More Than a Year.
Gertrude Grimes. the imbecile girl of
whom the county has been taking care
for the last year and several months, died
yesterday morning shortly after 8 o'clock
it is thought. from congestion of the
brain.
In the last year and a half she has had
quite history, and which to certain
extent. has been connected with the
county. She was confined in the county
jail in the early part Of the spring Of
1893 on writ Of lunacy, which was sworn
out by her mother, Mrs. Rosa Grimes, ard
in April she was the cause of a thorough
investigation, conducted by the county
commissioners and the grand jury which,
by the way, never developed anything.
During the first week in April 1898, the
charge was made that an assault had
been attempted upon her while she was
confined in the jail, and the reports con-
nected with it one of the turkeys of the
institution, as well as others There was
much talk about the matter at the time,
and considerable indignation was ex-
pressed
The county commissioners took it up
and held an investigation, and after eX-
aiming number of witnesses, they de-
cided TO turn the matter over to the grand
jury. The solicitor general was present
at this investigation. The grand jury of
the superior court for the March term
was then in session, and it took the mat
ter up on the recommends ton of the COM
missioners. The grand jury tried to make
a thorough investigation Of the matter,
n hsr.Vf r.F
the mysterious complaint, or to find that
there was any good ground for it and it
was thus reported and dropped. The in
vestigation by the commissioners was
April TO- 1898.
After the grand jury had Investigated
the matter, the commissioners considered
what to do with the girl. She was not a
violent lunatic, only an imbecile, and it
was a hard matter, under the circum-
stances, to get her into the state asylum.
The commissioners finally decided, there
fore, that the county would take care of
her through her mother The girls
mother was willing, and a contract was
made with her July Is, by the clerk Of the
county commissioners, by which she was
to be paid $40 a month and take proper
care of her daughter, which she agreed
to do. A good home was provided for her
at Broughton street. east of East Broad,
and from that time until now she has lived
there. The mother will be paid for the
care of the child up TO Oct. Is.
A friend of the girls mother called at
the office of the county commissioners
and wanted the county to give the child
a $50 funeral The chairman of the COM
missioners would not agree to this, and
gave instructions that the body was to
be buried just as that of any other pau
per. The child has been an imbeclle al
most from her birth, and her mental
weakness is supposed to have been due
as much as anything else TO a frequency
of epileptic fits.

IF TIE CIRCUS DON'T PREVENT
The Council viii Discuss Many Matters
Of Interest.

The city council win meet tonight If

meeting two weeks ago was prevented by
the September storm Of that date.
There are several appealed liquor cases
to be heard, the cases being those in
which Isaac Levy is the principal witness
for the city. The circus may also inter
fere with the hearing of these cases, as
many of the parties interested will prob
ably prefer to be in the neighborhood of
East Broad and Bolton streets rather
than in the council chamber.
The petition of N. c. Pearson for a
transfer Of liquor license from under the
Marshall house to l22 Bryan street will
probably be acted upon tonight. This
petition has been pending in council for
nearly two months. The subject Of con-
demnlng the rights of way for the streets
across the Savannah, Florida and West
ern railway will probably come up for
discussion.
