JURY SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE.
Abel & Co. Partially Successful in
Suit Against Savannahians.

A jury in the City Court returned a
sealed verdict yesterday morning in the
case of Bernard Abel & Co, against Col
Inns, Grayson & Co. The verdict was
opened when court convened and was
found to be for the plaintiffs in the sum
of $243.50
The suit was an action on account, bas-
ed on shipments Of apples from New York
to Savannah. The amount sued for was
1888, and of this amount the defendants
admitted that $50 was due. The rest. 1t
was their contention, had been lost
through the failure of the plaintiffs to ship
the grade of apples that had been or
dered.
The jury found the amount due to be
rather less than half what the plaintiffs
claimed and rather less than twice as
much as the defendants admitted to be
due by them. The verdict seemed to be
satisfactory to the defendants for no APP
peal was taken from the decision and no
motion for a new trial was made. During
the morning the judgment taken by the
plaintiffs attorneys was paid in full, with
the costs of court

THE LATE FELIX IF. CHApEAu.
His Remains Laid to Rest Under the
Oaks.

The remains of Mr.. Felix +. Chapeau,
whose death occurred in Charleston Tues
day, were brought to Savannah yesterday
for interment. Mr.. Chapeau was well
known in this city,
The Charleston News and Courier, in
announcing his death, says:
There will be more than a passing
shadow in the hearts of many old
Charlestonians to-day for Felix Chapeau,
bon homme aud true friend, has gone
out into the mysterious, unknown and
for that reason, if none other dreaded
world, called death. For nearly sixty
four years he lived and the world was
better for his sojourn here. Not that he
ranked high in The councils of the state
or sought the emoluments and empty hen
ors of political greatness, but because he
loved his fellow man and was ever ready
to share with those around not only his
portion of worlds goods, but to add the
broadus" of cheerfulness and good will.
Quick to take up the glove when thrown
down in friendly challenge. he gave al
ways as good as sent, and often better.
His was not the wit that seeks to beittle
or offend, but to bring out the crowfeet
bout the eyes. and provoke good honest
daughters to leave no sting nor poison be-
hind
but now he's dead, and those who will
stand above his casket to-day and look
upon kindly features will recall his mer-
ry laugh. his amiab Bile badinage-for 1t is
little more than a week since he walked
and talked and laughed among them.
Then they will speak of his courage-for
he was a brave soldier; his generosity
for it was prOverbial, and his integrity
and honor, and his love for all of nature.
Mr.. Felix f. Chapeau was born in
Charleston nearly sixty-four years ago,
and after receiving an excellent education
engaged in business for several years pre-
vIous to the outbreak of the war. Re-
spending with aacrfty to the call to arms
he joined the cavalry arm of the service
under Col William L. Trenholm, and
served faithfully through the terrible
years that followed Returning to
Charleston al the close of the great con-
fiict Mr.. Chapeau in business for
some time as senior member of the firm
of Chapeau & Heffron. Several years ago
Mr.. Chapeau established the Jersey
Dairy, to which he has since given his
entire attention.
Mr.. Chapeau was always a friend of
the poor and the helpless, and naturally he
turned even to the aid of a dumb beast in
distress. By his endeavors the Charles
ton branch of the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty 20 Animals was organized
and he was the executive officer and
leading spirit in this work always"

SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE DEcREED
Guardian of Lunatic Directed to Ex-
ecute Deed to Some of His Proper

ecute Deed TO Some of His Proper
ty.
Judge Falligant granted an order in the
Superior Court yesterday decreeing the
specific performance of a contract for the
sale of certain lands in Vernonburg, made
by Phillip Jones TO e. H. and S. G.. Cole.
Since the time of making the contract, at
which time part of the purchase money
was paid, Jones has become insane and
has been so adiudged by a jury in the
Court of Ordinary.
T. Arthur Ward was appointed guard
ian of the estate of Jones by the ordinary
and has since been caring for it in this
capacity. 1t appears, though, that the
law makes no provision for the guardian
of lunatic's estate carrying out any of
the contracts into which the lunatic had
entered before he became insane, and for
this reason an appeal was made to Judge
Falligant to decree the specific perform
ance of the contract of sale. The guard
ian was directed to execute a deed to the
property in question, upon payment to
him by the grantees of the balance Of pur.
chase money unpaid.
