CONNELLY's CASE CRITICAL.
His Physicians Have very Little
Hope of His Recovery.

His Physicians Have Very Little
Hope of His Recovery.
Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 11.-Capt A. b. Con-
nelly, Atlanta's chief of police, is very
ill with typhoid pneumonia, at his home,
on East Hunter street
Capt. Connolly has been unweil for a
month or more. but his sickness did not
assume its present form until about
a week ago, when he took to his bed.
Last night his condition was pronounced
very critical by the attending physicians
and some unessiness was felt as 10 his
survival. To-day the doctors say that
he is almost at deaths door, but give
some small hope of his recovery, though
the chances seem to be against him.
Chief Connolly has been identified with
the local police department for twenty
five years. He has been chief since 1881
having won the confidence and respect of
the whole community. Capt. Connolly mar
ried Miss Butler Of Savannah several
years ago and he made many friends there
in the course of his frequent visits.

PERRY'S WIFE MAKES PLEA.
THE GOVERNOR MUCH AFFECTED
BY HER APPEAL.

He Promises to Give the Cnse His
Earnest Attention When 1t Is OIL
ciaIIy Presented to Him-The Con-
demncd Mans Lawyers to Depend
Upon the Allegation That Lanier
Assaulted Mrs. Perry In Asking
for Communication of the Death
Sentence.
Atlanta, Ga, Aug. u-Mrs. II. 5. Perry,
the wife of the man condemned to be
hanged for the murder of Belly Lanicr
one week from to-day. called upon Gov.
Atkinson at the capitol to-day and made
a pathetic appeal for her husbands life
She was accompanied by her old father
who also raised his voice in behalf Of
the condemned man.
Gov Atkinson was much affected by
the wifes appeal but could do nothing
but to assure her Of his sympathy and
promise TO give the case his earnest at
tention when it IS presented to him Off
cally. This Will be done on Friday morn
ing, Mrs. Perry told him. when the law
yers viii present the application for execu-
tive clemency, together with a lot Of petit
tons from citizens and officials, asking
for Communication of the death penalty
to life Imprisonment.
Despite the fact that the real cause Of
the killing is said to be Perry's infatua-
ton for a woman of the town, his wife
has never wavered in her devotion 20
him. In making her appeal TO the gov
ernor to-day she said that Lanier, the
man who was killed, had committed
criminal assault and it was for this that
her husband killed him. Perry claimed
at the time Of the tragedy that this was
the cause of it and the motion for "a new
trial, which was refused by the supreme
court yesterday, was made upon the
strength OF a witness who swore that
Lanier had confessed 60 him that he had
been guilty OF the alleged assault.
The plea 10 the governor will rest al
most entirely upon this foundation, the
attorneys for the condemned man feeling
certain that if they can convince the gov
ernor of the truth of The alleged assault,
he will not allow Perry to hang

CHAIRMAN DALE's PLANTATIONS.
Their Location Relative to BuckhaI-
ter swamp.

ter swamp.
Editor Morning News: In your local of
yesterday O0thAdescribing the trip Of
the grand jurors and commissioners to
Buckhalter the reporter says: THE party
left Buckhalter and went % Rockingham
Chairman Dale's plantation. which ex-
tends out beyond the borders of the water
shed across the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway" creating thereby the
impression that no part of the plantation
lies within Buckhalter watershed. [ in
fer from the article that the party went
to where the buildings of the plantation
are, which is high ground, and from that
the inference is made that the plantation
Is not in the watershed
Savannah is not built either in Cuyler
swamp or in Musgrove swamp, but il lies
within their watersheds and it would be
just as absurd TO say that Savannah
would not be benhted by the drainage of
these two swamps as to say that Rock
ingham and Cherburg will not be benefited
by the drainage of Buckhalter swamp and
its tributaries. Platen's map plainly
shows this, but there is another map-an
official and special one-one five times as
large a scale, of these TWO plantations,
which shows a great deal better than |
can in words what l have said above This
map is a copy of one made by Mai John
r. Tebeau, late county surveyor, Of Cher
burg and Rockingham and delineates the
creek and its tributaries, the marsh, swamp
and highlands. On it not only by the sur
veyor's symbols but also by written
words are represented the rice lands and
canals, the high and lowlands marshes.
etc. Anyone sufficiently interested can
find it in book CTS, folio 37S. in the rec
ord's office of the clerk of the superior
court.
do not write this because Cherburg and
Rockingham happens to be the property of
Mr. Dale. l should write as l do were it
the property of my nearest friend. 1t il
not a personal question, but one of general
interest and one about which the people
are seeking information.
The drainage of swamp on one mans
land does not benefit him alone, but to
some extent, all Immediately around him
just as the thorough drainage of Musgrove
and Cuyler swamps will not only benefit
those who own lands in them, but the
whole city of Savannah and the surround
ing country as well. r. A. BlandfOrd.
