GRAND jury AND COMMISSIONERS.
Investigating Party VIII Resume the

Work To-day on Drainage.
The special committee from the grand
jury and the county commissioners and
officials of the county department of pub
lie works will meet again to-day and re-
sumo the work of investigation of the
drainage of various localities which was
begun last Friday.
The special committee from the grand
jury, which made complaints to the coun-
ty commissioners concerning the work
they have been doing and that which they
have not been doing, as was stated in the
Morning News, went over the ground on
the western side of the county last Fri
day, visiting the Dundee canal, the Ogee-
chez district, the Lamar and Minis
swamps and the Telfair plantation. The
reports of the committee have not yet
been made to the jury as a whole, and will
not be untl the work of inspection has
been completed.
Other sections of the county will be Wis
tied by the investigating party to-day, and
IL is quite probable that they will visit
the distant Buckhalter swamp, where the
force of county convicts is now engaged
in drainage. 1t is particularly matter
Of complaint that the county convicts have
been all taken to this swamp for the sum-
mer TO drain it, while the places needing
drainage nearer the city, where drainage
is necessary for the health of the com
munity, have been allowed to grow up,
and the drainage become imperfect by the
lack of attention.
The commissioners win accompany the
special committee from the grand jury to
the places to be visited to-day and it Is
thought that the work will be finished
with the days trip
A member of the committee from the
grand jury said to a Morning News re-
porter yesterday that IL is not definitely
known yet just where the investigation
win be carried on to-day's trip, the work
not having been specially mapped out
when the committee went out last Friday.
IL is thought, however that the southern
regions of the country around Savannah
will be visited as wen as Buckhalter
swamp.

CHATHAM HEADS THE LIST.
The Only Urban County in the state
with Increased Tax Values.

AUA NAlueH.
Chatham is the only urban county in
Georgia which shows an increase in its
tax returns for the present year. All the
other counties containing cities Of import
ance show decreases, some of them very
large ones.
Fulton county shows the remarkable de-
crease of g, 226, SO2, and Muscogee comes
next with decrease of $1,Si5, APO Bib
shows a loss of 1851. 6O6, while Richmond's
loss is estimated at $4,000. Compared with
these big losses Chatham's little increase
of 1885 looks quite cheerful.
The remarkable feature of this years
tax returns IS that the heavy decreases
creased returns Of the agricultural coun~
ties, so that the books will just about
even up with last years.
This fully confirms the position taken
by the Morning News in recent articles
that the farmers OF the state are better
Off than ever before and that prosperity
had already returned so far as they are
concerned. OF the 1877 counties in the state
eighty-four make increased returns
as against forty-nine making
decreased returns, while two counties are
estimated to make the same returns as
last year.
II Is worth noung that six out OF the
ten counties in the first congressional dis

TO SEND THE SAILOR HOME.
Charitable Ladies Raising Funds
Sufficient to Pay His Way.

Charitable Ladies Raising Funds
Sufficient to Pay His Way.
A canvass will be started to-day by the
ladies who are charitably taking an inter
est in the extraordinary case of Jacob
Franz, or Franck. the lunatic sailor
The purpose is to canvas the city to
raise a fund sufficient to defray the ex.
penses of taking the unfortunate man
back to his native land-Germany-w
he can be placed in a lunatic asylum and
treated. This movement is in accord
ance with instructions and advices from
the German minister at Washington, who
was appealed to by the ladies who have
taken the case in hand.
Miss Margaret Cozens and Mrs E. J.
Thomas have made several appeals to
German consuls in this country for some
satisfactory means of getting the mad
sailor back home. but all the arrange
ments that have been authorized thus far
consist in the assurance that if the money
is raised to defray the expense of the voy-
age across the waters the German gov
eminent will receive Franck as a right
tul subject and place him in an asylum.
The county commissioners agreed to pay
the passage, provided he was sent from
savannah on sailing vessel at cost
of $40 or $50, but it was ascertained that
this was impractical, as none of the Of
hcers of the German vessels that have
been to this port have been willing to ac-
cept the crazy sailor as a passenger.
The promoters of the charitable under
taking have now determined to raise suffi-
Gent money to defray the expense of
sending Franck over to Germany on a
regular ocean line steamer, and in order
to speed matters the canvas will be begun
to-day by Mrs E. ]. Thomas, assisted by
others at interest.
1t is the hope of the ladies who have I'M
dertaken this worthy cause of charity that
they will be literally met not only by the
native German residents of the city, but
by the general public.
Meanwhile Franck continues to make
night hideous in the vicinity of the Jail,
frequently becoming wild and shouting
and screaming frantically

NO VERDICT IN THE DALEY CASE.
The Jury spent yesterday In the

The suit for alimony instituted by Mrs.

has kept things lively at the court house
for the greater part Of last week. is still
unsettled.
The jury received the case, after three
days consumed in the taking of a world OF
sensational testimony, Saturday just be-
fore the noon recess Of the court, and
the issue has been with them ever since,
They spent Saturday night on it and the
whole Of yesterday and last night and

when Judge Falligant opens court.
There have been many rumors as 10 how
the jury Is divided in the case. II is never
safe 20 rely on rumors about the work of
iurios however, for there is but slim
chance OF anything leaking out indicating
how the members stand. IL has been stat
ga that the Jurors in the Daley case are
evenly divided as to a verdict for and
against the wife
There was also a rumor 60 the effect
that one OF the jurors was sick Saturday
afternoon. It developed. however, that his
condition was not serious,
