IN THE CLrNoH OF A LUNATIo.
Jacob FrancI1's Ugly Assault on n
brother Prisoner.

T. 9. Rivers, a United States prisoner in
the county Jail. was frightfully assaulted
by Jacob Franck, the lunahc sailor con-
fined there, yesterday, and a physician
had to be sent for twice during the day to
dress his wounds.
Rivers is a negro, who Is being held IN
til requisition papers can be secured to
have him sent to South Carolina, where
he is wanted. He has a cell near the
mad man. and is one Of those who have
made a habit of teasing and "sky-lark-
ing" around the lunatic.
Franck is the German sailor who went
crazy in Savannah some time ago and
whose career since that time has been be-
fore the public in many ways. He came
here aboard a vessel from a German port,
and one evening was found lying in front
of the cathedral as crazy as could be. He
was adjudged insane by a commission of
lunacy before Judge Ferrill of the court
of ordinary. The state lunatic asylum re-
fused TO take him on the ground that he
was not a citizen of the state Of Georgia,
but German subject. Then Judge Fer
rill endeavored to act as mediator and
applied to the German minister at WASH
ington to see if he could not be taken
back to his own country. This was of
no avail. and the judge started a sub
scription list and raised by voluntary SUD-
scrlpton enough money to send the man
to a private asylum for awhile. The money
gave out. and he was brought back to
Savannah, and since that time has been
confined in the county Jail.
There is a movement now a-foot, having
been started recently by some OF the ladies
who reside on Abercorn street, near the
Jail, to have Franck's passage across the
ocean paid, and this movement has adj
vanced SO far as to hava been sanctioned
by the German minister Il Washington.
1t seems that some of the prisoners Of
the jail have a way of teasing the lunatic.
He Is at times peaceable and quiet, but
at other times is ravlng.
Yesterday while the prisoners were
around him, Rivers made himself little
"gayer" than the rest and Franck made
an attack upon him, beating him with his
fists and kicking him most mercilessly.
1t was the kick that seemed to do the
most frightful work and Rivers at once
began complaining that he was hurt in
wardly
Sheriff Romans attention was called to
the case and he sent hurredly for DR..
Chisholm, who prepared to bandage the
wounds of the injured prisoner. The VIC
tim of the lunatics attack refused to take
medicine or to allow the bandage TO be
put on him. He continued to complain, and
DR.. Chisholm was again sent for, and the
bandage was put on, and the man forced
to take the medicine. 1t is believed that
Rivers Is pretty seriously hurt.
Sheriff Roman thinks that it may be that
Rivers is bluffing somewhat in the pre-
tense of more serious injury than really
has resulted, for the reason that he may
wish to avoid being sent back to South
Carolina to answer to his crime.

BALTIMORE wH4RvEs INVOLVED.
Big Law suit in the Superior Court
Over the Right of OwnershIn.

Big Law suit in the Superior Court
Over the Right of Ownership.
The suit of Pauline A. Durant against
Charlotte A, the Duchess d'Auxy, came
up in the superior court yesterday, and
was argued before Judge Falligant for
four hours.
The plaintiff is represented by George
A. Mercer and the defendant by Lester
& Ravenel. The substance of the iitiga-
ton is that the plaintiff seeks to establish
the question of the ownership of certain
interests in what is called the Lamar, or
Baltimore wharf.
The petition shows that in 1866 Gazaway
B. Lamar left to G. De Rosset Lamar in
trust to him and his three sisters, certain
property east of Bay street fronting on
the river The sisters wAe Charlotte A.,
then the wife of Robert Souther, Annie
c. Lamar and Harriet c, Lamar.
The petitioner shows that Catherine A
Souther, formerly Lamar, afterwards
married foreigner and became the Ouch
csc dAuXy, and as such borrowed from
her S04o, and gave a mortgage on her
quarter interest in this trust estate. She
further states in the petition that the
trust deed stated that the estate should be
children alive at the time, and that the
only child of any of the heirs was young
Robert Souther The supreme court of
Georgia decided subsequently that this
child had right In the property before il
was sold by the mutual heirs, and should
have had voice in the proposition to sell
the former property for re-inVestiny as
was done under the same trust.
in the property now held by the estate
and known as the Lamar or Baltimore
wharf. The child's claim was so firmly
established that he has since recovered
$1,000 from the purchaser of the original
property
This decision by the supreme court made
the mother, the Duchess d'Auxy, and
the son, Robert Souther, a Joint heir to
the one-quarter interest In the estate and
this cut down the security which the Pc
titioner had obtained In the mortgage from
one-fourth interest in the estate to a one
eighth interest. She levied on the one
eighth interest and had IL sold, netting her
$1,000 on the judgment she had obtained
from the court leaving a balance of S.
447.56 due. Since that time another child
has been born and the question arises
whether this child win not be an heir too
since In reinvesting the money from the
sale OF the former property in the present
| property the trustee did not observe the
words of the first trust deed which was
that only the children alive at the time
! of the deed should come into the enjoy
ment Of the estate. Instead OF doing this
he made II out that the original trust heirs
and their children hereafter shall have and
enjoy the property. What the petitioner
seeks TO establish is whether this child will
be an heir under the law or not.
The counsel for the defendant declares
| that the child viii be an heir. The case
was argued at length, but was not decided
by Judge Faligant. He will reserve his
| decision for a few days.

Mr.. Joseph f. Doyle is still in Washing

there several days, returned yesterday.
Nothing will be done until after the ad-
journment of congress. which will be
about July 15," said Capt. Doyle. I'VE
had a very pleasant interview with Presi-
dent Mckinley, and, besides, saw most of
the prominent politicians. Mr.. Mckinley
recalled the fish dinner at Thunderbolt
when he was here in March, 1895, and ex-
pressed the hope that he would be able to
return here again some time. You may

is so we'll remembered in connection with
the previous republican administration,
was in Washington, and we had quite a
pleasant time together. 1 had letter to

How about the postof1ce? Who has

That's not my affair. / think that is

Capt. Doyle seemed to be entirely con-

collector and that at an early date.
Mr.. H. B. Lemcke, who was suspended
from his position as registry clerk at the
postoffice by Postmaster Haines three
weeks ago, has beein reinstated. Mr..
Lemckes offense was the opening of

There Was Malpractice or Not.

The Jury Couldn't Tell whether
There Was Malpractice or Not.
In the case of the state against John
Fitzgerald, charged by the grand jury in
special presentments with having been
guilty Of malpractice, in Office in that he
had arrested a party without any ground
for charge, the jury hung fire and the
court declared 1t to be a mlstrial.
The case was tried the day before in
the superior court, and the evidence for
the state was that Justice Fitzgerald had
caused the arrest OF w. Shaw for the sole
purpose of enforcing the collection of a
debt by holding above his head the charge
Of cheating and swindling, when no such
crime had been committed, and that the
justice knew there was no ground for
such a charge.
The defense went on 10 show that the
justice did not know that Shaw was not
guilty Of such a charge Of cheating and
swindling.
This Is the first OF a series OF cases 10
be tried involving several justices OF the
peace for malpractice.

CONNORs WANTS A NEW TRIAL.
His Attorneys File a Petition For
Another Hearing of His Case.


A petition was filed in the superior court
yesterday by the attorneys of Pat Con-
nors, the convicted slayer of Tom Mon
roe, colored, for a new trial.
The grounds upon which the petition for
another hearing is based are general
grounds, that the verdict in the case was
contrary to evidence and contrary to law.
Connors was arraigned before the court
last week on the charge of murder and
was found guilty of manslaughter. The
judge sentenced him to fifteen years in the
penitentiary.
The crime was committed Christmas
1894. The scene OF the tragedy was In a
barToom kept by Connors a Randolph and
President streets The evidence for the
defense was to the point that Connors
had killed the negro in self-defense, while
the evidence brought out by the state
was to the effect that there was no need
of such defense, as the negro did not
make an assault upon Connors with a
weapon likely to produce death. The
case was tried for the third time last
week, there having been two mistrias be-

HELD FOR HORSE STEALING.
Ned Taylor Has n Hard Road in
Front of Him.


B. Bradwell, colored, who lives about five
miles from the city, swore out warrant
before Justice Nathans yesterday for Ned
Taylor, a colored boy, charging him with
horse stealing.
Taylor did not have to be arrested as
he was already in jail. A commitment was
sent the jailer to secure the prisoner UNI
der the warrant.
Malicious mischief formed the other half
of the double charge under which Ned Is
restrained just now from his aptitude for
wrong doing. His experience with the
horse. Il is said that he stole, was rather
unfortunate. The prosecution says Ned
stole the animal June Is, and started to
ride him to town. When he had gotten
about half way the horse threw him and
ran away. Bradweli came on a little lat
er In pursuit OF the thief, and found his
horse, but not the boy. He learned In
some way of Ned being In trouble and
took steps TO make his getting out of It
