The superior Court was in session yes
,.r5av after a recess of about month.
THE grand jury met according to pro-
rramme in the afternoon for the purpose
of considering two cases. those against
Justice Isaac r. Nathans charged with
r,alpractice in office, and Harry Sweat,
ctarged with the murder of Patrick
ONen.
owing to the illness of Solicitor General
W. w. Osborne the grand jury adjourned
without transacting any business. So
iaitor Osborne returned from New York
Iy steamer few days ago, and was taken
sex with fever on the way home. He has
been sick in bed for several days, but it
is hoyed will be out soon.
There has been considerable trouble in
getting tie witnesses in the case against
Justice Nathans. The case would have
been heard several weeks ago, but many
Of the witnesses whose names were called
and who responded present failed to show
up when the grand jury wanted to exam
inc them. Those of the witnesses in this
case who persist in playing hide-and-seek
with the authorities will probably be put
in jail One of them Is in jail now, and the
chances are that several more of them will
he there before the grand jury meets
again.
The grand jury adjourned to meet Thurs
DAY afternoon, Nov. 8. Both of these
cases win be taken up at that time, ana
the grand jury will no doubt adjourn for
the term. Nothing was done with regard
to the reply to the presentments by the
County Commissioners, as the grand jur-
ors did not even retire to their room.

In the Superior Court yesterday.
Figuratively speaking, Mary Josephs
and Mary A. Connolly, who own property
OF various sorts the neither end of
Ogfethorpe ave- are getting ready 10
have another hair pulling time in the
courts
Some time ago a storm came along and
blew Madame Connolly's high fence down
against the house of the Josephs woman
The latter tried to enjoin her from re-
building it. The case was heard before
Judge FaHigant, and, after some discus
sion, was, as it seemed. amicably settled
Under the agreement, Madame Connolly
was to build brick wall surmounted by
an iron railing. 1t was not thought that
such structure would be Objectionable,
so far as its susceptibility to storms is
concerned. The building of the brick fence
mas just begun, and al once the Josephs
woman comes forward with another petit
ton for injunction, in which she says the
defendant is encroaching upon her prop
erty in the construction of the wall, by
eight inches. That was just a little more
Ihan the Josephs woman could stand.
Judge Fafigant granted a temporary in
junction restraining the defendant from
DONG further work on the wall for the
present and a hearing win be had on
thursday. Oct q. In the meantime, the
wall, which is eight inches over the line,
VIII remain in statu quo.
