UNTIL CITY ATTORNEY RETURNS.
Council VIII Not Take Up the Col
IinsViIie Streets Claim

The Savannah Real Estate Building and
Loan Company's claim for compensation
for lands given the city for streets and
lanes in Collinsvil,e will scarcely meet with
the consideration of Council until after the
return of City Attorney Adams
Mr. Adams left yesterday for a
vacation trip North. and it will be three or
four weeks before he returns. Until that
time the case will rest as it is.
1t will be recalled that the claim was
read before Council at recent meeting
and that it reverted to The committee of
the whole. Its fate before Hhat commit
tee is mere conjecture, though with the
light the aldermen now have and The
knowledge that is theirs of the deal that
was entered into between the city and the
company. il seems likely that the ella m
would not be honored.
Mayor Myers was asked yesterday about
the Claim He said ii is his belief the city
fulfilled its contract and that the Savan-
nah Real Estate Building and Loan Com
pany therefore has no Just claim. The
Mayor understa thai number of the
aldermen view the case in The same way
He admitted freely however, that the
careful study of the case that he and the
aldermen viii make may change their
view.
Mr.. Adams aid is wanted in making this
study. 1t was on account OF his absence
that the Mayor stated that there would
be no further consideration of the claim
for some time. 1t is the Mayors opinion
that The grating Ct the rights of way on
the streets to the street railway, which
was then the property of the Savannah
Real Estate Building and Loan Company
was return made by the city.

NEW TRIAL WAS REFUSED.
Judge Norwood OverruIed Motion in
Claim Case Against the f. C. & p.

Claim Case Against the f. c. & II.
In the City Court yesterday Judge Nor
wood refused a motion for a new trial made
by the defendant in the case of NJ. p.
Usina, against the Florida Central and
Peninsular Railroad Company. The ser
vices upon which the action was founded
were rendered more than eight years ago,
and the case has pending, in one form or
another, for more than half that length
of time.
The action was based upon services rem
dered by Capt. Usina, as master of the
steamship Farmer. during the time that
the railroad was in course of construction
and when the steamer was used as a means
of transporting freight between otherwise
disconnected parts of the contemplated
lire. The plaintiff alleged that he had
been employed at monthly salary of
500, and had served eleven and a half
months. from Sept. /, 1890. to Aug 16. 1891
without receiving any compensation what
ever. Whereupon he had entered suit
against the company.
The refusal of the defendant to pay the
claim was based on the ground that IL
was not the employer of Capt Usina. but
that the Farmer had been run by some
OF Its agents and employees for their own
private and personal benefit When the
case came on to be heard the jury evil
IDENTIFY, could not be brought to take this
view of the matter and returned a YER
dict for the plaintiff for the full amount
OF his claim. This was in June. 1895.
Since that time nothing has been done In
the case, other than the filing of a motion
for a new trial by the plaintiff This was
argued some weeks ago. and the judgment
of the court handed down yesterday. AS
has been stated it overruled the motion
and refused the grant of new trial.

TWO DEFENDANTS DISCHARGED,
Mayor Dismissed Cases Charging
Murder and Rape.

Mayor Myers investigated the charge OF
murder against Sam Stewart, in the Police
Court yesterday morning. The charge
was based upon the death of negro wo-
man at picnic near Sackville, in June
last under somewhat suspicious circum-
stances. However, there was no real rea-
son and no real evidence that would war;
rant a belief that Stewart was RESPONSE
BILE Intentionally for her death, and good
evidence to rebut any presumption of this
character that might arise. In accord
ance with these facts Stewart was dis
charged, and the case against him dis
missed. This opinion of the evidence was
given in yesterdays Morning News.
The Mayor also discharged Turner Mil
Ter. who was charged by negro woman,
Daisy O'Pryor with having made sue
cessful criminal assault upon her. The
woman's airy pIOtestations OF personal
purity and high moral character were not
borne out by the evidence, and indeed
were substantially refuted. TIE Mayor
sow no good reason to believe the some
what elaborate story she had to tel and
dismissed the case against Miller. The
man seemed to be much the more respecta-
BILE of the two parties.

Bryan County Murderer VIII BE
Carried Back for Trial.

Carried Back for Trial.
Robert Golden. the negro who is charg-
ed with The murder of Mary Collins. in
Bryan county, and who was arrested near
Tooler and brought to Savannah en- Thurs
day, will be carried back to-day TO the
scene of his alleged crime. Sheriff w. G.
Shuman, Of Bryan, reached the city last
night. and viii return this morning with
his prisoner.
The sheriff says that the murder was
cofd-blcoded ana deliberate, but that The
evidence against Golden is not perfectly
conclusive. The only other witness 10 the
homicide is negro named Jim Hin, who
has also been arrested. Hin says that Col
den did the shooting and Golden in his
turn accuses HIM. 1t is currently believed
that both cf them were implicated. but on
account Of the circumstances of the case
il is difficult TO get at the true story. It
is known, however that Golden borrowed
the gun. wi b which the crime was COM
mitled, from enc Of his neighbors, and his
general bad character lends color 10 The
strong suspicion that he is the actively
guilty Iarty.

TWO WANT NEW TRIALS.
Carey Company Dissatisfied with
Verdict in Favor of GuiImartin.


Verdict in Favor of GuiImartin.
Two motions for new trials were filed in
the City Court yesterday. The plaintiff, in
the case of the Philip Carey Manufacture
ing Company, against John F. Guilmar-
tin, exhibits its dissatisfaction with the
verdict for the defendants in that case, and
the defendant. in the case of M A.
O'Byrne and James ]. Anderson, receivers
of the Southern Mutual, against ]. Angus
Anderson, also wants new try for jus
tice.
In the former case there have already
been two verdicts for the defendants. a
new trial having been granted in the first
instance because of alleged errors in the
charge of the court. In the latter case
the company recovered a verdict for s.. OOO
half the amount sued for against the de-
PENDANT. With this he is not satisfied and
asks for a new trial upon the usual and
formal statutory grounds.

COURT DISPENSED JUSTICE.
Ed Brown Sentenced to n Twelve
Months Term for Larceny.


Judge Norwood dispensed justice to The
batch of misdemeanor offenders who face
him weekly, in the City Court yesterday
morning. These were charged. in the
main, with the simpler forms of larceny.
and had been remanded largely by the Re
corder, or the Mayor acting in his stead.
There was a mournful lack of interest in
the proceedings, the cases being of an uu-
usually humdrum character
Ed Brown, colored, got a sentence of S25
and costs or twelve months on the chain
gang for the larceny of a half dollar from
the store of D. Andipos. Brown had also
been presented, Jointly with Richard Jones.
for the larceny of SIT for the same witness.
but in this case both the defendants were
discharged, The larceny in the latter case
was not clearly demonstrated and the evil
dence was unsatisfactory. For this rea-
son the cases were dismissed.
Ellen Small. the negro domestic who was
arrested by Detective Barrett for the lar
ceny of $35 from her employer, Mrs c. H
Thomson. was given her choice of paying
a fine of $25 and costs or serving a term
of twelve months on the county chain
gang. Through stress of circumstance
the defendant accepted the latter alterna-
tive.
Charles Griffin received a sentence Of n
fine of IS and costs or one month on the
gang, for assault and battery. Lilly Smith
charged with the larceny of $35 from the
person of S. Davenport, was adjudged not
guilty and received a discharge.
The time of the City Court next week
will be devoted to the hearing and deter
mination of cases in which the defendants
have demanded trials by jury. There are
a number of these and the jury has been
summoned to pass upon their rights and
wrongs. II is considered probable that
the trials will overlap the week and ex-
tend far towards the middle of next.

The question of the location of the
base ball park is finally settled. There
were few hours yesterday when it
looked like all the negotiations were
off, but last night two conferences
were held, and as result an agree
ment was reached between the Wheel
ing & Elm Grove Railway Company
and Mr.. W. B. Howell, which is mutu-
ally satisfactory to the parties, and
which will be signed when the neces-
sary legal papers are drawn up this
morning. The first proposition of the
w. 6 E. G. Company was SO unsatis-
factory that Mr.. Howell had about con-
cluded to abandon the Fulton park
project, and accept the Island grounds
on the Giles property.
Last night the attorneys for the w.
& E. G. Company held conference
with Mr.. Howell and Capt. Lytle, and
arrangements which are mutually sat
isfactory were made. During the day
President C. B. Power sent kilograms
to the railway companies, notifying
them that no further delay would be
tolerated, and instructing Mr.. Howell
to close his deal for grounds yester-
day.
A rough diagram of the grand stand
and grounds has been prepared by an
architect. 1t calls for a stand with a.
seating capacity of 1,500, constructed
in the form of three sides of an octa-
gon. The bleachers will be on rollers,
and will have a seating capacity of
5000. The roller idea is to permit the
removal of the seats in the event that
the park is desired for any other
amusement enterprise.
Work upon the improvements to the
ground will be commenced either Sat
urday or Monday. Capt. Lyle has al
ready arranged exhibition games for
the month of April. and the players
have been ordered to report on April
18th.
The order for the uniforms has been
given. 1t will consist of white shirt
with the word wheeling" in black
letters across the breast, black trous-
ers, black cap with white wv" and
maroon stockings. The players will
have two other uniforms, one with
brown trousers, and the other with
blue trousers
