the question Of the value of the property
that will &c taken. However, he makes
no suggestion himself as to what he would
consider fair valuation and agrees with
the report IN all other respects.
The strip of land that is to be con-
demned runs through the Hermitage prop
erty from the boundaries of the land own
ed by the Georgia and Alabama Terminal
Company, west of the cd city wa Ter
works, in an easterly and southeasterly di-
rection to a point near the junction of the
extension of Bay street and the Augusta
road. The strip is from twenty-five to
seventy-fve feet in width and its total
area is III acres.
If objections to the return of the ap-
praiSers are not filed by the owners with
in ten days it will become final and the
judgment of the court, under the laws
of the state. The valuation of the prop
erty that is to be condemned that has been
fixed by the appraisers does not a all
equal that fixed by the owners and that
they placed upon it when the company
wished to purchase outright and without
legal process. As the appraiser for the
owners dissented from the valuation fixed
by the others and as this valuation does
not meet the ideas of those interested in
the property. il is altogether within the
bounds of probability that exceptions will
be filed. The price. per acre, fixed by
the appraisers is $557SS.

HE GUARDED HER SHOES.
How One of New YOrk's Finest
Obliged Young Woman.

Two Savannah young women return from
New York with a story of the superative
nerve displayed by one of them that wins
the sincerest admiration and encircles the
brow of her who exhibited it with a halo
of glory most effulgent one of her
friends commented on the story by sug-
gestion that she go to a dentist and get
that nerve extracted.
One of New York's finest was standing
on Tiffanys corner. He was a natty look
ing cop, and walk through the city would
hardly have discovered one who looked
more ready to oblige the ladies'. He had
a queer job fall to his hand, however,
when the young woman from Savannah
walked up and asked how long he expected
to remain there.
"Oh, about ten or fifteen minutes, 1
suppose" the copper answered. Turning
to her companion the young woman eX-
pressed regret that the answer had not
been twenty or thirty minutes. Thereupon
the policeman asked her how he could
oblige her.
why, 1 have my overshoes here. You
see II has stopped raining and I have no
further need for them. We want 10 go
down the street a way and return pres

10 do but stand here | might place the

The policeman caught mis- breath. Then
he looked hard at the young woman to see
II she had any appearance of having just
escaped from mental sanaiarium or Of
a crook trying to work off some piece of
hoO-doo on him. Nothing in the bunco
line was in evidence as no more was
asked than that he watch the shoes, so
the policeman, being assured chat the re-
quest, though perhaps novel was straight
and all right acquiesced.
The shoes were then deposited on the
railing in front of Tiffany and off the

COURT OvERRULED MOTION.
Defendants Lose Again in Case of the
Central Against Dixon q Co.

Judge Fanigant overruled yester-
day the motion for new
trial in the case of the Central
of Georgia Railway Company against c.
H. Dixon & Co, which has been pending
in the Superior Court, in one form or an
other, for many months. The judgment
overrullng the motion was passed after
full consideration of the merits of the
controversy.
At the former trials of the case the de-
PENDANTS introduced a plea of set-of or
recoupment, claiming damages for the
non-delivery of the cars consigned to
them The gist of the action had been
a claim for demurrage that the railway
company had set UP. The jury found for
the plaintiff in the sum of sl47 and the
defendants asked for a new trial. As
their motion has been overruled and the
new trial denied, it is probable that the
case VIII be taken by writ of error to
the Supreme Court. The plaintiff was
represented by Messrs. Lawton & Gun
ningham and the defendants by Messrs.
Saussy & Saussy.

other at the three-quarters. When the

Coming down the stretch Bumps was tir-

only lightly. AS the wire was passed
safely in 2:03 IA. thousands were on their
feet cheering wildly. Bumps was driven
