COULDN'T COLLECT FROM CITY.
Smallpox Scare Gave Rise to an In.
terestin2 Case.


terestinG Case.
The verdict of jury in the Superior
Court yesterday determined adversely to
the plaintiff a claim that had been filed
and lt'gated against the city of savan-
nah, growing out of the few isolated cases
that produced the smallpox scare of last
winter.
During that time the boarding house
of Mrs. M L. Jones became exposed to
conta gion, and under the directions of
! DR.. ]. G. FARRELL acting health officer at
the time, the house was quarantined and
the inmates prohibited from leaving it,
| The quarantine was continued in effect
| for thirteen days.
At the expiration of this period Mrs
Jones filed a claim against the city for
the board of five boarders at the house
for thirteen days. and for some other ex-
penses incurred by her, which brought the
| total up to $91. The city refused to pay
the claim and it was sued in the court of
Magistrate G. f. Bevans
In that tribunal judgment was given for
| the plaintiff asa INST the defendant in the
sum of $65, and from this Judgment an
appeal was taken by the city to the Supe-
| r!or Court. Here the case was argued be
fore Judge Falligant on Yesterday. Mr. S.
| IS. ADAMS representing the city, and Mr.
| w. F. Slater the plaintiff lin the court
| below.
| Mr.. Slater commended that as the quar-
antine of the house had been ordered by
the acting health officer, the city became
| liable for the board of those who were
| looked after by Mrs. Jones during the
| reriod the quarantine was continued Mr.
| Adams argued and submitted authorities
| to show that the city could not be held
| liable ON such claim, that the protection
of other citizens of the city against infec-
ton or contagion from a house. where a
disease, capable of being transmitted was
| located, was a lawful exercise of the 20
| lice power of the municipality, and that
clearly the city could not be made to pay
the lard of the inmates of such a house
Judge Falligant's charge to the jury was
a virtual direction of a verdict for the
defendant, and it was returned by the
jury after brief elaboration. While unim-
portant in itself, the case involves an i'm
portant principle of the law affecting
munich alities. Should the contention of
the plaintiff have been held to be In &C.
| cordance with correct legal principles the
effect would have been disastrous to the
city in case ii were ever decided TO isolate
infectious diseases by limiting the right
of the occupants Of infected houses to
leave them.

INJURIES MAY PROVE FATAL.
Miss Mary Sullivan Seriously and
Perhaps Fatally Burned.

Miss Mary Sullivan, a maiden lady re-
siding at l6 Price street. was seriously
and perhaps fatally burned about o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The accident is re-
ported to have been due to a a lamp ex-
plosion which set fire TO Miss Suilivans
clothing. She was entirely enveloped in
flames and the clothing nearly burned off
before assistance could be rendered.
Physicians were hastily summoned and
such relief afforded as was possible. One
Of the physicians stated last night that
Miss Sullivan's injuries were very serious,
the burns extending over almost the en-
tire body, and that the outlook for her
recovery was verY unfaYorable

Officers of the Savannah Cadets made
the discovery that there is a quantity of
old rife ammunition at the city magazine
that apparently, belongs TO no one. The
ammunition is useless for all purpose save
melting the lead and using ii in moulding
bullets for new shells. Capt J. T. West
decided that. on behalf of his company. he
might as well ask for the ammunition,
and. accordingly. a petition was read.
There are four and a half cases of the
cartridges. As there is no need for them
and they would probably have lain in the
magazine another thirty years unless at
tention had been called 10 them. Capt.
West will probably get the cartridges.
