REFUSED A NEW TRIAL.
Extraordinary Motion in Brister
Graham's Case OverruIed.

Extra ordinGry Motion in Brister
Graham's Case OverruIed.
Judge Falligant rendered a decision yes
terday refusing a new trial to Brister Ora
ham, convicted of the murder of Ben
Wilson, and under sentence of death.
The decision was on an extraordinary
motion for new trial. filed by Mr.. w. E.
Morrison. attorney for Graham, who has
made hard fight to save the defendant
from the gallows.
In rendering his decision Judge Falli-
giant cites the facts that Graham was con-
Victed and sentenced TO be hanged; that a
motion for a new trial in his case was
oVerruled by the Superior Court, which de-
cision was sustained by the Supreme Court;
that on July 81 1897 an extraordinary mo-
ton for new trial was also oVerruled by
the Superior Court. which decision was also
sustained by the Supreme Court.
Now Graham comes with his second ex-
traordinary motion for new trial based
upon the affidavit of John Ely, witness
in the case, in which affidavit Elzy's state
ment was claimed to be different from
that he gave on the witness stand. But
there was also presented to the court an
other affidavit by Ely in which he de-
MED the correctness of the former affidavit
and affirmed the truth Of his testimony
given on the occasion of the trial.
Judge Falligant also referred to the legal
prohibition against a second extraordinary
motion for new trial, and in conclusion
stated that beyond question there was ito
merit in the motion, and it was therefore
refused. "'
Mr.. Morrison it is understood, will take
the matter to the Supreme Court, this be-
ing the last effort ne can put forth in his
clients behalf If this decision of Judge
Falligants should be sustained, there
would hardly be any further chance for
Graham, unless he should die in Jail in
the meantime. He is said to be suffer-
ing from dropsy, and there may be
chance of his going before he reaches the
frallnUNG

Col. Barr, the New Judge Advocate,

in Washington To-day.
1t is expected that Col. Thomas F. Barr,
the new judge advocate in the court mar
tial of Capt, O. NJ. Carter, will reach the
city tomorrow morning. 1t transpires that
he viii go to Washington before coming
TO Savannah, and it is said he will oe in
Washington to-day He can leave Wash
ington this afternoon and arrive in Savan-
nah tomorrow.
If Col. Barr comes tomorrow he will
have only four days here for work on the
case, as the trial is to begin Jan. u. This
fact has led to some speculation as to
whether there will be another postpone
ment of the court martial. 1t is unknown
whether the judge advocate will desire fur
Their time, and ii will probably depend
largely, il not altogether, on any request
he may make in the matter.
The defense is opposed to further post
ponement, and has expressed the hope
that it may be avoided The defendant is,
pending The trial, and the saving of time
no doubt means much to him. II may be,
however, that further postponement will
be avoided.
The board of engineers, composed of
Messrs. George Y. Wisner Alexander e..
Kastl and II. c. Ripley, members of the
American Society of Civil Engineers, have
been making a thorough and detailed in
spection of the work done in the Savannah
river and harbor, and went down yesterday
in tug to inspect the work done so far
on the detached portion of the Oyster Bed
training wall, which is to serve as break
water. These engineers as has been stat
ed, are making this inspection at the re-
quest of Capt. Carter, and when the time
comes they win appear before the officers
of the court martial to make a statement
and report with regard to the work.

REAL ESTATE PICKING UP.
The Feeling and Tone a Little Better
Than "a Month or Two Ago,

Ahah u month or Two Ago,
There have been apparent indications
recently of a considerable Improvement in
the real estate market, and the demand
seems in some instances to have increased
Inquiry was made yesterday to ascertain
the state of facts with regard to property.
and how the men who handle that article
feel about it.
1t was discovered in the first place that
there is nothing like a boom in progress
nor are there any indications that there is
likely to be. 1t is true, however, that
there is a better feeling in real estate and
the situation is looking more hopeful
There is one great trouble with which
we have to contend" a real estate dealer
said. while it may be said that the feel
ing is better now than il has been within
two months it is nevertheless a fact that
there is still lack of confidence because
of recent actions on the part of the city
government. | am talking now entirely
outside Of politics. The yellow fever scare
also kept the market down while it lasted
and now 1t is taxes, sewers, raising sala-
ries and other similar things which give
indication of unnecessary luxury and ex-
pense. The state, county, and city taxes
are higher than they should be- and the
expense the new sewer system is going to
put upon property owners is having its eff
feet
Nevertheless as 1 said. the feeling is a
little better now than it has been in some
time, and l am inclined to look for still fur
Their Improvement. There are several par
ties looking our for places, but they are
proceeding very cautiously. The INQUIRIES
made. however Indicate an improved de-
mand for the spring market"
This appears to be the general feeling
with regard to real estate so far as can be
ascertained. Otherwise than as stated.
the market does not appear to be much
better than 1t was month or two months
ago.

MORE ISOLATED THAN CHINA
Terrible Experience of an Enxiish-

Terrible Experience of an Enxiish-
man Who venturcd Into Thibet.
The Chinese empire has long been
considered the most exclusive territory
on the face Of the earth, but It has no
mean rival for the distinction In its
near neighbor, Thibet. The religious
faDaticism Of the natives and the wild
and difficult nature Of the country have
served to keep IL isolated from the out
side world longer and more completely
than any other region. From the 14th
century onward explorers have entered
the country and few have even pene-
trated as far as Lhasa, but, since two
French missionaries got there in 1S45,
foreign feet have not desecrated the
soil Of the capital of Thibet. The rea-
son will not be very hard to understand
when the experience of one who recent
ly ventured near that section is re
lated.
Henry Savage Lander is a, thorough
Englishman and has all the British love
Of adventure. 1t was this love that led
him to make a journey to the forbid
den land" Mr.. Lander made his first
attempt to explore Thibet In May, 1896,
but the Thibetan authorities prevented
him from entering the country by the
Lippu LEX Pass-the easiest route-and
II was only in the middle of July that
he entered by the Lumpia Pass, but
was again turned back. He ultimately
succeeded in getting across the noun
tains to Mansarowar. Soon after that
his followers, originally thirty in num-
Der, were reduced to two, the rest hav-
ing gradually come to the conclusion
that the air of Thibet was not healthy
for foreigners.
Left with only two, attendants, Mr..
Lander was at the mercy Of the ma
tives. He was engaged In buying a
horse at a place called Tucker when
he and his servants, Chanden Sing and
Man Sing, were attacked by an over
whelming force Of Thibetans, thrown
down. beaten. kicked and finally led
off, tightly bound. as prisoners into the
presence of the "Pombo," or governor
of the province. At first Mr.. Lander
himself was not tortured. the "Pombo"
only trying to intimidate him by the
cruel scourging of the unfortunate
Chanden Sing. Then, on pretense Of
conducting him to the frontier, the Thu
betans put Mr.. Lander on a pony and
took him across country In spiked sad

rency of war times. In fact these
checks would be nothing more nor less
than fractional currency in general cir
cuiation as long as the spaces on the
face were left blank.
When a man wants to pay a bill in
another part of the country he affixes
two-cent stamp TO the lower right
hand corner Of the post note, and then
writes on the face of the note the name
Of the payee and his city and State. His
own name Is so written as to cancel
the stamp. Then he puts the post note
In a letter and sends 1t away. This
check can then be cashed only by the
person who Is named on its surface as
payee or by his order. When the payee
gets the post check he can get the mon
ey on 1t at the nearest postoffice. The
two-cent stamp which every post note
would have to bear would cause large
revenue to accrue to the Government,
If the plan worked rs well as its advo-
Gates think 1t will. The proposed sys-
TEN, It is thought, would be Of great
benefit to merchants who have a large

for the scheme will probably come be-
fore Congress at its next session.

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH MRS. PrNKHAM.l

A woman with the blues is very un.
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently historical.
The condition of the mind known as
"the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs OF
generation.
1t is source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense, and is the counsel of q
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. F. S. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, wrote to You
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
~ am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than
have had for the past ten years.

ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one SO kind and willing to
aid YOU"
