SALE OF THE ARMY HOSPITAL.
Quartermaster General Held on Long
Enough to Raise Original Offers,

Quartermaster General Held on Long
Enough to Raise Original Offers.
The army hospital buildings seem at
last to have landed with Mr. Carlton
C. Champion. Just what Mr.. Champion
intends doing with them is not known.
While no official notice of the sale has
been received it is fully we'll understood
that he is the purchaser at $1,000 When
the property was first offered for sale
there was but one bid, which aggregated
about $4,000. Quartermaster General
Ludington declined to accept that bid be-
cause he did not consider it sufficient to
justify him in disposing of property which
cost the government over $4,000 for the
sum offered. The matter was held 10 with
the hope that a more liberal offer would
be forthcoming. Gen. Ludington contend
ed that the plumbing alone cost the gov
eminent nearly $4,000. In the meantime
there was considerable correspondence be-
tween the war department and a number
OF citizens of Savannah relative to the
sale of the property, but bidders were shy
Finally Gen. Ludington declared that be-
fore he would sacrifice the buildings he
would have them torn down and the ma
terial removed to some other military sta
ton where it could be used to an ad-
vantage in improving some of the incom-
pleted posts.
As the auctioneers continue to threaten
that an article is going, going" the
quartermaster dwelt long enough to Sc
cure a substantial advance on the origi-
nal price offered, and bid for something
over $1,000 the sale was made and Gen
Ludington feels that he secured the best
price obtainable under the circumstances.
Mr.. Wolf of the Isaac Joseph Iron Com
pany, who made the first bid, said last
night that he had received no further in
formation as to the disposal of the prop
erty than has already been given in the

TYNDALL WANTS NEW TRIAL.

Motion for Rehenring in Murder
Case Filed i'm Superior Court.
motion for new trial in the case of
Henry Tyndall, who was tried at the
present term of the Superior Court for
the murder of William Brown, convicted
and sentenced to the penitentiary for life,
was filed on yesterday.
The grounds of the motion are that the
verdict was contrary to and against the
weight of the evidence, contrary to the
principles of justice and equity and un-
warranted, and that the charge of the
court placed before the jury, for their
consideration, incorrect principles OF law.
The filing of the motion acts as SUPER

agreement, Col. Russell remarked:
This is gift, governor, but next
