Recorder Sentenced Him without
the Alternative of a Fine.
Fred Banster, arrested by Policeman
Cronin for disorderly conduct at No. 2S1
Cemetery street was before the Recorder
yesterday to answer several charges, che
of which was cursng and abusing his
wife, another knocking down doors of his
house, and a third for destroying window
glass.
Tt was not Banister's first arraignment
on the same charge and the Recorder,
setting aside all impulses of leniency, gave
the offender the extent of the law" in the
shape of thirty days in Jail without fine.
This pleased Mrs Banister, because her
husband, she claimed, had been a contin-
ual source of annoyance to her and had
no hesitancy in tearing up the house when
drunk.
She innocently amused some of the court
attaches while expressing herself. She Is
large in point of stature, Weighing about
200 pounds, while Banister is quite the
reverse. His conduct is wearing away my
life by inches" she said, referring to her
former annoyances.

SOLDIERS TO GUARD THE FORT.
COMPANY III OF FIFTH INFANTRY
IN CAMP AT TYBEE.

The Artillery Put to Work Moving

Said to Have Revealed an Unsatis-
factory state of Affairs in the
FOrtIhcations-The Work to BE
Hurried From Now On-PIenty of
Mines on Fort Pulaski.
Company H of the Fifth Regiment o.
Infantry, ordered by Gen. Graham from
Fort Mcpherson to Tybee. arrived there
yesterday morning at 7:90 o'clock. The
company is under command of Capt Bal
ley. It consists of fifty-four men and
two officers.
The duties of the infantry, Gen. Ora
ham stated. will be to mount guard about
the fortihcations on the island. The addi-
ton of the new company runs the number
of regulars at Tybee up to about ITO.
Some of the artillery is being used TO
mount the guns in the new fort Gen
Graham's recent visit to the fort is un-
derstood to have developed an unsalisfac.
tory condition Of affairs. The work has
been dragging for long time, it is under
Stood the contractors having already had
two extensions of time in which to COM
plete the work. None of the guns are yet
mounted. The iron stairways, platforms
for gun carriages, in fact all of the iron
work yet remains to be erected. The con-
tractors, it is understood, claim they are
delayed by the use of the railway tracks
derricks and other machinery by the ar
tillery for the handling of the guns. The
contract for the building of the fort was
awarded in December 1896, for $130,OOO
The fort was to be completed by Dec. 81,
1897 Various delays have occurred and
the fort is yet far from being finished. 1t
may be occupied in a short time and the
guns will be mounted as soon as possible,
probably within the next month.
The work of mining the harbor is in
progress and will be finished in a few
days. This work is being done
as secretly as possible by a
Pulaski. Some of the heavy guns at Fort
Oglethorpe are being removed and sent
along the coast to be mounted. The Ven
able Construction Company, which is
building the fort, is also building the foun-
dations for the guns and mortar batteries
at Key West, and expects to finish its
work there about May 10. For some time
the company has been negotiating with
several steamship lines for the transporta-
ton of its plant and men to Savannah, and
its arrangements to this end have about
been consummated. This probably means
an early completion of the works here

Jail in the police patrol wagon, charged
with disorderly conduct, assaulting his
wife and resisting an officer. Cassada is
a German by descent
Policeman J. A. Woods went to arrest
the man. A great deal of threatening
talk and other loud noise emanated from

sandy common. The only vestige Of civili-
cation was the old Jail with it's pictur-
esque towers. To the east and southeast
were Millen and Bowen swamps.
There was big sale of lots in the south
eastern part of the city one day, and
foolish people paid as high as 500 10
$50 a lot. The wise" people did not
buy lots because they believed the civ
would not grow any larger and if it did
it would not be in that direction. They
shed tears when they witnessed their
dear friends wasting money in such invest
ments. There is scarcely any necessity
for telling the remainder of the story; that
part of the cily speaks for itself. The
lots which the foolish" people bought
can't be bought now for 81 900 to Sc 900 each +!
The same story will one day hold good
in the development of the eastern part
of the city and that part of it south of

Every Day.


Every Day.
In November. 1895, the German govern

of second plcklngs of coffees. The Same
law has been in force for twenty years in
England. Germany, in 1895, used four hun.
dred thousand sacks of second p!ckings of
coffee. The question now is, what country
uses that coffee. Our answer is the Uni
ted States, and Germany is using two hun.
