TAXES AND GROUND RENT.
Owners of Ground Rent Lots ana
Their Suit Against the City,

Owners of Ground Rent Lots ana
Their Suit Against the City.
The suit of David Wells and others
against the mayor and aldermen of the
city of Savannah began in the City Court
yesterday.
There are ten plaintiffs. including
Thomas Ballantyne C. NJ Gilbert, John
Fl. Gilbert VIM. Kehoe, Henry Blum, D.
G. Purse, Robert McIntire, Dennis O'Con-
nell and Mrs. Mary E. Douglass They
are represented by Messrs. saussy &
Saussy, while Mr. s. B. Adams appears
for the city.
This suit was fled July 20, 1890, and ask
ed FOR an injunction to prevent the COL
lection of city taxes on what are known
as the ground rent lots. The petition goes
fully into the question of the origin of the
ground rent lots, and says they were sold
by the city on the specific underst landing
that those holding them would not have
to pay city taxes upon them. This is bas-
ed upon the ground that the plaintiffs
title TO the ground rent lots amounts to
a perpetual lease, and is not a fee simple
title. 1t is claimed, therefore that the
city cannot collect taxes on the property
in addition to collecting the annual ground
rent. Hslt
The City Council in 1890 assessed these
ground rent lots for taxes and the plain
tiffs to this proceeding paid under pro-
test. A temporary restraining order was
granted by Judge Falllgant and the case
was tried, the verdict of the jury and the
judgment of the court being in the city >
favor. The case then went to The Supreme
Court, where, on technical points. a new
trial was ordered. This new trial is now
in progress. stsa
The decision OF the Supreme Court prac-
tically sustained the citys position. The
executions which it sought to enjoin were
paid and taxes on the property have been
collected ever since. Not being dis
missed the case has remained on the dock
ct At the conclusion of the plaintiffs
evidence yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Adams
made a motion to dismiss the case, in the
nature Of a motion for a non-suit, upon
the ground that the decision in the in
junction question had left nothing in the
case. Pending the argument on this mo-
ton the court adjourned until $50 O'clock
this morning.

CRUSHED BENEATH A can.
Little Norris sinkowItz HangIed by
Cruel wheels

Norris Sinkowitz, a 6-ySar-old boy was
caught under the wheels OF a Savannah
and West End car about O'Clock last
night and horribly mangled. The accident
was due to the practice which Is so popu.
lar with the Franklin square boys OF jump
ing on and off The street cars and riding
short distances.
The Savannah and West End Railway
operates by mule power since the consoli-
dalton of the other street railway lines,
and this makes It an easy matter for the
small boys 10 jump on and of the rcal
platform. When the car passed the water
tower in Franklin square last night Morris
and his little 4-yearsold brother got
aboard They rode to the market and
were allowed TO ride back. When the car
reached the square the boys attempted 40
jump of while the car was in motion. The
younger brother succeeded in getting of
safely. but Morris fell and was caught
under the wheels of the car
The screams of the two boys alarmed the
driver who stopped the car. but not until
the boy under the car had been horribly
wounded. The accident occurred near his
fathers place of business or Bryan street
Hearing his sons screams the father ran
to the scene. The boy was taken to Dukes
streets. Mr. Sinkowitz summoned DIR. r.
G. Norton. who responded with his two
sons. Drs. w. E. and George NJ Norton.
They found the right arm broken in three
places from the shoulder to below the ell
bow. The worst injury, however, was 10
the left leg, which was broken twice be
tween the knee and ankle and the flesh
laid open the entire length exposing the
bone
Chloroform was administered and the
wounds were washed and dressed.
several fragments of bone being
removed. The boy was then re-
moved to the home of his father
3i9 Bryan street, west. After dressing
the boys wounds DR.. r. g. Norton re
ported that he was resting easily, with a
good pulse and no probability of dying
during the night. There appeared to be
no internal injuries, DR.. Norton stated,
and If none develop he expects to save
the boys life. 1t may be necessary 10 am
putate the leg but this will not be done
If it can be avoided with safety. DR.. w.
T.. Norton remained with the little suf-
fever last night.
It. has been a favorite sport with the
Margaret street and Franklin square
boys to steal rides on the West End cars
and the wonder is that serious accident
has not occurred before now. This may
be lesson to them, but II is very doubt
full if il will.

MAYOR TRIED TO SLIP AWAY.
Didn't Want His Departure for
Washington known.

Mayor Meldrim left for Washington yes
terday afternoon. Before leaving he gave
strict orders at the City Exchange that
nothing was TO be said about his DEPART
ure. His orders were ooeyed of course,
but the Mayor had hardly left the ex-
change before the report began to circu-
late That he was going to Washington to
Interview the Secretary of War with ref
erence to the placing Of the Georgia
troops on coast defense duty. Some even
went so far as 10 say that the Mayor had
been commissioned by Gov. Atkinson to
lay the matter before the Secretary of
War. When he reached the, Plant System
depot he found a detachment of reporters
in waiting for him.
You fellows are the dickens" he ex-
claimed. as he shook hands with them.
What are you after me for"
Are you going TO Washington" he
was asked.
Certainly" he replied Il have case
before the Supreme Court on Wednesday,
and shall endeavor 10 be there to try it.
That Is all that is taking me to Washing
ton"
Has your visit any connection with
your idea in reference to placing the
ed.
None whatever. I laid, my ideas before
Gov. Atkinson in full Saturday and
urged them upon him. He agreed with me
TO some extent, but said il was impossible
for him to say what he would do at that
time"
The case upon which Mayor Medrim will
appear before the Supreme Court is that of
Badly versus John r. Hunter. II is a
very old one, relating to the investment of
the funds of an estate by an executor In
Confederate bonds. The case has been
tried by the Supreme Court of Georgia,
and from there was appealed to the SUI
preme Court of the United States. : Mr..
John Fl. Hunter. Of this city. is the pre-
sent executor. his father having been the
executor who made the investment The
case originated in jefferson county.
Notwithstanding the fact that Mayor
Meldrim goes to Washington strictly upon
legal business it Is not at all improbable
that he may find time TO interview the
Secretary of War and lay his views be-
fore him upon the subject of Georgia coast
defenses and the utilization of the state
troops for this purpose.
