OLNEYVILLE.
An Anti-Charter Meeting at Mant0n
Last Evening.
Tsnth Ward Hen Thieves Caught by the
PO ic.-NO es.

About $50 Maptonites gathered at Black
smith hall, corner of killingly road and
Main street last night, to listen TO dis
cussion of the city charter question. The
gathering WAS composed of anti-charter-
ties and all the remarks made were
against the scheme.
Anthony Corcoran, formerly hay
dealer in Cranston, and more recently a
free silver advocate In this town, was the
principal speaker.
Mr.. CoreoraB directed his efforts to
prove the unfitness of the town of Johns
ton for conversion into a city. He argues
that the geographical position of tho town
was not good for such "a change, and that
there was too large portion of the town =
ship upimproyed property. 1t would cost
q great deal moro To maintain a city form
of government he claimed, the taxes would
be necessarily much higher than at pres
ent and the people would be no better oil
by the change
Discussion was participated in by
Christian Anderson and Others, all Of
whom expressed themselves as against the
adoption of the charter.
THE BLIND ORGAN GRINDER
An amusing incident occurred in front
OF a Manton avenue store last evening. A
blind man, armed with small hand
organ, established himself in front Of the
store and proceeded to grind out a series
of most doleful tones from the wind
broken instrument. For time the pro-
pretor of the store endured the torture
with true Christian fortitude. but in
short time it became unbearable There
was too much charity in the storekeeper's
soul to order the blind man TO move on,
ard he knew tnat TO give money would
briug daily return of the plague so it
occurred to him that If the musi-
clan got something TO eat he might
move on or at least cease his grinding
long enough to taste the edibles SO he
sent him lunch of sandwiches. The
blind man appeared very grateful for the
present of food but contrary To all expec
tations instead Of closing his lanors he
kept one hand busy with the organ crank
while with the other he pulled out an
aged bandanna handkerchief in which he
rolled the lunch and then slowed 1t
away in his pocket. TIC express his graft
tude he kept on grinding away.

KELLAR REFUSED A NEW TRIAL.
The Court Says He PItiIessIy Betray-
ed Faith and Love.

Judge Robert Falligant signed an order
yesterday refusing a new trial to Francis
b. Kellar, convicted of seduction in 1894,
and sentenced to spend five years in the
penltentiary.
The complainant in the case was Miss
Marshall of Savannah, who, according to
the evidence for the prosecution, had
been made acquainted with Kellar by her
relatives, and at a time when he was sick
in the home of her parents, nursed him
and waited on him. To this evidence was
no doubt due the statement in Judge Fall
ligants order that the facts in the case
disclose a pitiless betrayal of a young
womans faith and love that cry out
against the remorseless wrong that has
been perpetrated."
Though the motion for new trial was
argued a short time after Kellar's con-
viction, it was not finally taken up for
consideration by the court until few
weeks ago, the delay being due to the fact
that Mr.. J. r. Saussy, Jr., one of the de-
PENDANTS attorneys, wanted to make a
brief argument to the court upon some of
the points of the case. 1t was argued
about two years ago by Maj. p. w. Mel
drim for the defense and Solicitor Gen
eral Fraser for the state, but its consid-
Grafton was held over at Mr.. Saussys re-
quest. The decision of the court refusing
the new trial is as follows
In Chatham Superior Court, the State
vs. F. b. Kellar, motion for a new trial.
The counter affidavits of the witnesses for
the state, in reply to the affidavits of wit
nesses for the defense on the ground Of
newly discovered evidence, take away all
value from that ground, and forbid favor
able consideration by the court.
A careful review of all the other grounds
discloses no good reason for granting
new trial. The facts have been passed on
by very intelligent jury adversely to the
defendant. They disclose a pitiless be-
trayal of young woman's faith and love
under circumstances that cry out against
the remorseless wrong that has been per-
petrated The verdict is sustained by the
evidence and should stand. A new trial is
refused. r. Falligant, Judge.
March p, 1897.
There win undoubtedly be an appeal
from the decision of the superior court to
the supreme court in behalf of Kellar.
That, of course, is his last chance, and un-
less the supreme court grants a new trial
he will have to serve his sentence. Along
with the motion for new trial were filed
number of affidavits which reflected some
what on the character of the prosecutor,
but to these the state filed counter affida-
Wits, of such a nature that Judge Falli-
CANT, in rendering his decision, came to
the conclusion that the states aff1davits
outweighed the Others which led to his re-
fusal of the new trial.
Kellar's attorneys seemed confident that
their client would be given new trial,
and they will no doubt make a hard fight
before the supreme court to prevent the
lower courts decision standing.

FOR ATTEMPT TO MURDER.
The BIacL-sitIer Family Feud Taken
Into Court.


Into Court.
NJ. A. Black swore out warrants yester-
day afternoon before Justice Waring Rus
sell, Jr., against c. II. Sitter and his wife
on a charge of assault with intent TO muir
der.
The trouble between the Sitlers and the
Blacks occurred last Saturday night when
an explanation was sought by MIR. and
Mrs Black of certain derogatory remarks
that had been made against her by Mrs.
Sitter. it Is alleged. The explanation was
not at all satisfactory, and the difficulty
began.
The two couples are neighbors, living In
the same house near Jones and Abercorn
streets. Black says he and his wife were
assaulted by the Sitlers with a piece of
iron, and that their intentions were GER
tainly murderous. The case was taken be-
fore the recorder yesterday, where Sitter
was fined $40. Justice Russell will hold an
examination as soon as all the parties are
able TO appear, one of them being in a
delicate condition at the time of the af-
fray, having been injured pretty badly.

WATER MUST DE WASTED.
savonnah's Consumption Ahead OF
Any Southern City.

Any Southern City.
Mayor Meldrlm was occupied with other
matters yesterday and did not call the
conference of the water commission and
the water committee as he had intended
doing.
The mayor stated to a Morning News re-
porter that he would probably call the
conference one day this week. He is now
in correspondence with Engineer T. T.
Johnson of Chicago, who planned the wa
ter works. for the purpose of ascertain
ing whether it will be convenient for him
to visit Savannah at any time in the near
future. He will probably await Mr.. John
sons reply before calling the conference
In order that the ACCESSIBILITY of bringing
Mr.. Johnson here may be discussed.
Chairman James NJ. Dixon of the water
commission showed Morning News re-
porter yesterday a very interesting table
of figures found by him in a book on
Sewage Disposal in the United States"
The book was loaned by Col. w. ]. Winn,
city engineer. 1t is by George w. Rafter
and NJ. n. Baker and was issued in 1894.
The table, which attracted Chairman Dix
on's attention, gives the total and per cap
tia water pumpage of all cities in the
United States of over 10000 population.
There are some startling variations in the
figures offered. The per capita consump
ton of water daily in southern cities is
given as follows
Atlanta So gallons, Montgomery, 3S, Gal
weston 81, Houston 81, Birmingham. 81,
Jacksonville IS, Pensacola 3d. Charlotte 43,
Dennison, Tex, Al, Ell Paso S. Danville,
Va, 81, Asheville 81, Wilmington o. New
Orleans 81, Savannah 10. This places Sa-
vannah at the head of the list of southern
cities for water consumption.
Cities showing small per capita con-
sumption of water per day are as follows:
r. l., Is; Ithaca, ". Y, IS; GAINESVILLE, Wis,
10; Nebraska City, Neb.. II; Fresno. Cal,
%; Lima, o., SO.
The following is the consumption in
some of the large cities in the country:
New York, 70 gallons; Brooklyn, u; st.
Louis Y; Boston, 80; Baltimore, "a; San
Francisco, 81; Cincinnati, 112; Cleveland,
1903; Milwaukee, 10; Newark, IS; Minneap-
oils, 70; Jersey City, 81; Louisville "a;
Omaha, 81; Rochester, 66; st. Paul, 60;
Kansas City, Il; Providence, As; Indian
apolis, II.
Washington City is reported as consum-
ing 1873 gallons daily per capita and Chi
cago 23S, while several other cities are re-
ported as consuming over 200 gallons daily
per capita.
periodicals by Col. George F. Waring, Jr..
of New York, and others of the subject of
municipal water waste has attracted
widespread attention, and will very likely
result in making this the leading subject
of discussion at the annual convention of
water works engineers of the country this
summer.
