BILL OF EXCEPTIONS FILED.
+. c. & II. Railway VIII Contest
AudftOr,s Decision


Auditors Decision.
A bill of exceptions was filed in the Su-
perior Court by the attorneys for the Flor
ida Central and Peninsular Railroad.
Aessrs. John A. Henderson and Denmark,
adams & Freeman, to the report of the
auditor, w. w. Mackal, Esq, in the case
Of the Southern Supply Company VS.. the
Floxida Northern and the Florida Central
and Penlnsular Railroad.
The report of the auditor was filed sew
eral days ago in the Superior Court. 1t
finds in behalf of the p.antiff for nearly
$50, 900, principal and interest being ac-
counts In dispute between the supply COM
pany and The railroad for the building of
the line between Harris road and Savan-
nah in 1893. The bill filed yesterday in
cludes twenty exceptions of law and TWEEN
ty-four facts TO the decision of the auditor,
the numerous points being stated at some
length. The auditors report found that
the plaintiff was entitled to recover from
the defendants the sum of $60.334S2 with
legal interest from Jan. l., 1894, and that
it has lien ON the line of the Florida
Northern Railroad Company from Hart S
road to Savannah in ihe sum of S57 1884.
This finding, the attorneys for the defend
Ants claim, is contrary to the evidence
and they hold that on the contrary the
auditor should have found in favor of the
defendants for the sum of $57. 4S0.43.
The result of che filing of the bill of
exceptions will be to bring the case again
before the Superior Court for trial by jury
as to the facts and for decision by the
judge as to the legal points involved. On
account of the large amounts involved and
the radical differences between the plaint
iff and the defendants as to the facts of
the case and the bearing of the contracts
and agreements between the two, the case
is certain to be very strongly contested
on both sides. Garrard, Meldrim & New
man are the attorneys for the plaintiffs.

SOLDIER HELD FOR MURDER.
PRIVATE HALL WILL BE TAKEN
BACK TO TEXAS FOR TRIAE.

Was Arrested by Sheriff Anderson OF
Harris County, Wanted for
the Murder of Patrick Gibson,
Who Was Shot From Ambush-Sus-
piciOn Points to Hall, but the
Proof Against Him Is Not Thought
to he POsitiye-NHen QuarreIed
Over a woman, to Whom Both
Were Paying Attention.
Sheriff A. R. Anderson will start to-day
on his return to Harris county, Texas,
with Private Archibald s. Hall, wanted at
Houston for the murder OF Patrick Glib
son, who was shot from ambush some
time ago. Hall belonged to Company C.
First Texas Regiment, and was arrested
yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Hartigan. The
prisoner is being held in the county jail.
The proof against Hall is not understood
to be of a positive character by any
means. He is being taken back on sus-
picion of being the murderer, but whether
Sheriff Anderson returns to Houston he
expects to make more thorough investi-
cation of the case. With the facts al
ready developed, however, it is stated
there was ample reason for believing Han
is either directly responsible, or is impli-
Gated in some way in the crime.
Gibson, the murdered man, was shot
down from ambush in the night 1t is
reported that he and Hall paid their at
tentions to the same woman, and as a re-
suit there existed a Jealousy that caused
more or less unpleasantness between them.
1t is stated both attended church on the
night the murder was committed, and that
both desired to see the young woman to
her home. Gibson was recognized by her,
it seems, and this is supposed to have ere
ated an i'll feeling for Gibson on Halls
part.
Gibson took the woman home. II was
while on the way to his home that he was
shot from ambush. At that time, it is
said, absolutely nothing was known as to
who did the killing, but since Hall went
into the army, 1t seems, sufficient evidence
has developed against him to warrant his
arrest.
In his statement to the officers Hall ex-
pressed surprise that he had been arrest
ed He said he had nothing TO say con-
corning the killing, because he knew moth
ing about it. II seems he has been driv-
ing an ice wagon in Houston, until he
enlisted in the army, and made no effort
during this time to get away Had he
supposed any such charges would be made
against him, he said, he could have made
his escape then. But he claims he did
not leave because there was nothing to
fear.
The government officers had TO be con-
ferred with before Hall could be taken The
civil officers saw Gen. Lse about the mat
ter and when the facts had been laid
before him, it Is said, permission was
granted to take the accused He was
turned over by the captain of Company
C. Sheriff Anderson will leave to-day with
the prisoner

THEY WANT HIS VOTE.
Officials Wondering If Alderman
O'DOnneII VIII Return soon.

The absence of Alderman T. F. ODon-
nell is giving some concern to municipal
Office holders, who fully expected his as
sistance at the coming election by the
City Council. A large number of inqui-
ries have been made by those who are
particularly Interested
On account of i'll health, Alderman
O'Donnell had been in the North some
time previous to his recent return He
was in New York and Canada. 1t is I'M
derstood he has returned to his family in
the North, and the exact time of his re-
turn is not known to those who may be
shy a vote if the alderman is out of the
city on election night
II is now pretty generally understood
that the present incumbents of city Of
fees will hold over until Jan. II, the reg
uar time for the election. This pro-
gramme is assumed to be the one that
will be followed, for the reason the ordi-
nance il will be necessary for Council to
pass, provided the election is held prior to
the regular time, could not be put through
before Dec Is. The ordinance could not
be introduced until Dec. IA, and then put
on its passage at the next regular meet
ing. Several have expressed themselves
on the matter, and this seems to be the
course upon which they all agree.

IMPOSED HEAVY FINES.
ThunderboIdt Sunday Liquor Sellers
to Ray $264.75 Each.

Judge Norwood laid heavy hand upon
the Thunderholt Sunday liquor sellers
yesterday. G. c. Warn, ]. A. Sawyer,
James Toshach and Charles August all
plead guilty to the charge Of keeping an
open tipping house on the Sabbath day.
and the same fine was imposed upon each,
$3.50 and costs. Including the costs, the
total amount to be paid by each is S264. rs.
Judge Norwood added on an extra $S5
to the fine for the purpose of including
the cost of the Jury panel, the defendants
having demanded jury trial when first
brought be fore the court The jury was
summoned for this purpose last week,
but the cases were continued on account
of the Illness of the defendants attor-
ney, Mr.. w. F. Slater. The defendants
changed their minds recently, however,
and Instructed their attorney to enter
plea of guilty. Judge Norwood took the
position that the defendants, knowing
their guilt, could just as easily have en-
tered a plea of guilty on the former &C.
uasion, and thus saved the county the eN-
peuse Of summouing jury panel.
These cases were made against the

BACK TO REGULAR DUTY.
second Battalion of Fourth Illinois
Retired From Provost DUTY.

All of the Second Battalion of the Fourth
Illinois has been relieved from provost
guard duty. Companies G and I, which
have been stationed in front of Teifair art
gallery, did their last turn of duty, at
least so far as Savannah is concerned,
yesterday, and were succeeded by Com
pany II of the Forty-ninth Iowa, and Com
pany A, of the Second South Carolina.
The latter got it's camp established in
the western section of the square early
in the day, but the Iowa soldiers had not
got their tents pitched when darkness
came and were forced TO do some unsat-
isfactory work as a result. They are in
the eastern section, near the postoffice, and
will get their camp In first class order
early this morning.
There was general regret at the depar-
ture of the Illinois companies, many of the
members of which had become personally
known to residents of. the neighborhood
While the present companies will get a
cordial reception, there will hardly be time
for them to establish close relations with
the people of the vicinity.
The new guards are ell well pleased with
the idea of getting a taste of provost duty
This has come to be looked upon as one
of the plums that fail to a soldiers lot

GOVERNOR OF A PROVINCE.
Gen. Davis and stan Here on the
Way to Pinar Del Rio, Cuba.

Gen. Davis and stan Here on the
Way to Pinar Del Rio, Cuba.
Brig. Gen. George w. Davis and staff.
arrived in the city yesterday from Athens,
Gen. Davis has been appointed military
governor of the province of Pinar del Rio,
in Cuba, and leaves with his staff and the
Two Hundred and Second New York Regi-
ment on the transport Minnewaska as soon
as that steamship can be loaded.
1t is the impression of the staff officers
that they will get off not later than Mon
day. The New York regiment was 10 fol-
low them at once and is expected in to-
day or tomorrow if there is no change
in the programme. This regiment is one
of the three comprising Gen. Davis bri-
gade and is to be stationed at, or near,
the town of Pinar del Rio, the other -egi-
ments being placed az two other towns
in the province for garrison duty. Thcre
appears to be some Indebtedness as to how
the war department proposes to move The
other regiments of the command, but The
officers have received the idea in some
way that they are 90 follow the New York
regiment as soon as possible, sailing from
may go to Cuba on tine other two trans
ports now here.
Gen. Davis is the first military governor
appointed for a province of the island of
Cuba. He is a veteran of the civil war,
and al the breaking out of the war with
Spain was lieutenant colonel of the Four
teenth Infantry of the regular army. He
was placed in command of the Second Di-
vision of the Second Army Corps and led
it on its twenty-seven days march in Vir-
ginia. He is regarded as an officer of ex-
cellent executive ability and well fitted
for the responsible post he is to fill in
Cuba. The province of Pinar del Rio is
one of five into which the island is d-
vided. 1t is in the western end of Cuba
Off from the coast it is mountainous and
said to be healthful. 1t is probable that
the brigade headquarters will be at the
town of Pinar del Rio which is some
fifteen or twenty miles in from the coast,
with regimental headquarters at Guane
and San Cristobal.
With Gen. Davis as staff officers are
Maj. r. A. Brown, inspector general, who
prior to the war, was captain of the Sixth
Cavalry; Maj. II. A. Sands, engineer Off
Ger and acting chief quartermaster, who
was captain of the Tenth Cavalry; First
Lieutenant R. H. Van Deman, aide, form
erly with the Twenty-hrst Infantry; Lieut..
w. H. Simmons, aide, formerly of the
Sixth Infantry. All of these are West
Pointers. Capt. John Landstreet Jr., of
Tennessee, chief commssary, is the only
volunteer officer on the staff He is from
Greenville and is an old friend of Messrs.
w. 1. O'Brien, W. A. Susong, and some
other Tennesseeans now resident. in Sa-
vannah.
