DEFAULTER M00RE'S BOND.
j. w. TEEPLE's CLAM FOR ENEMP-
TION FROM PAYING $1,000.

Moore Failed to Show III for Trial
and Left His surety in the Lurch'
Grounds of TecpIe's suit to Pre-
vent the sheriff From selling Him
ont TO Meet the Amount of the
Bond-Lavvycr skaters Arguments
and Solicitor General Osborne's
Reply.
Judge Falligant heard argument yester-
day afternoon on the application OF j.
W. Teeple, for on injunction prohibiting
the sheriff from leyying writ OF eXecu-
ton. issuing upon the estreated and for
feited bond of A. II. Moore, upon Which
Teeple was a surety.
The arguments were made by Mr.. w.
f. Slater for the petitioner, and by Sole
itor General ". W. Osborne, on behalf
OF the state. Teeple was a surety on the
bond for s., 600 given by Moore to answer
his default in appearance in the Superior
Court, to plead to the charge of forgery
that had been preferred against him, and
upon which an Indictment had been found
by the grand jury. Moore did not turn up
at the term of the court, to which the bond
was made returnable. it was .estreared and
a t the succeeding term, its forfeiture was
made absolute.
An execution was issued on the bond
and levied upon the surety's stock of fur
nlture. He gave a Forthcoming bond TO
answer the final judgment of the court,
and the stock was released. Mr.. Slater is
fighting the levy of the execution, on the
ground that the forfeiture of the bond
was not attended by the circums tances,
and formalities that are required by law.
In the argument yesterday Mr.. Slater
commended that at the time the case
against Moore was called and the bond
estreated, there were not present to try
the case a full panel of forty-eight sworn
jurors. II is a matter of fact that there
were fifty-two jurors in court al the time,
regularly drawn and summoned and COM
petent 10 try the case. Il was argued
by the solicitor general that the fact that
some of these had not been sworn In as
Jurors was a matter of no materially.
II was further contended by Teeples
counsel that the solicitor genral was not
at the time prepared to go on with the
case, and could not have tried it had
Moore been produced in court. To this
the solicitor general answered that he
had announced ready on that OCCASION,
and that the extent of his preparation
was not a matter 40 which counsel could
legitimately object, especially as he had
no knowledge of it.
Judge Falligant did not render an opin-
ion or decision at once, but took the case
under adVisement. His decision will be
rendered as soon as he has had oppor-
termine the legal questions that the mat

NOT THE PROPER ACTION.
Judge FaIIIEant Held TrOver Cam
not BE Used to Collect Debt.

Judge Fallgant rendered a decision yes
terday morning in the case of Thomas
Wickham, against ]. NJ. Wilbon, in which
he granted an injunction, restraining the
defendant and the sherlTs of the City
Court and county, from enforcing an &C
ton of bail in trover by the Imprisonment
of Wickham.
The trouble between the men began in
the latter part of last March. 1t originat-
ed in the division of the money paid on
a policy of insurance. which had been
won in a fight In the City Court. Wilbon
had sold Wickham a house, and the latter
had the house insured. The insurance
policy was made payable to G. w. Schroe-
der who had loaned some money on the
house, and to Wickham. When the house
burned. Wickham was refused payment
by the company and a suit had to be in
stituted for the recovery of the amount
of the policy.
In the trial in the City Court, Wickham
testified that he was but slightly interest
ed in its result, as the larger share of
the money was to go to Wibon, to whom
it was due. When the Supreme Court af-
firmed the decision of the lower court in
the amount of the judgment was received,
Mr.. W. w. Osborne who had represent
ed Wickham, notified him and Wnbon TO
come TO his office to divide the money.
They came and a check for the amount
was handed over to Wickham, he proms-
ing that he would pay Wilbon the amount
due him as soon as he could have the
check cashed. Instead of doing so he put
the money in his pocket and gave Wilbon
the laugh.
Truly, as Wilbon has since found out,
the laugh was on him. He knew very
well that he could not recover the money
from Wickham by a. simple suit, so he
tried the action of bail in trover. AS
this action lies only for abe recovery of
some specific article, Judge Falligant de-
cided that il was not The proper remedy,
and. therefore, granted an injunction pro-
hibiting an attempt TO enforce II by
Wickhams imprisonment.
So Disguised was Mr. Osborne with
Wickhams action in the matter that he
refused to represent him further. The
amount due by Wickham 10 Wilbon,
which the latter thought he was going
to collect. but didn't, was somthing over
$500

TYBEE OFFICE ABOLISHED.
People on the Island Likely to he
without Postal Facilities soon.

The people of Tybee are in a very fair
way TO be without postoffice facilities at
an early date. An order has been issued
by the postal department abolishing the
office, to take effect June 80. The post
master is directed to turn over all gov
eminent property and postal supplies to
the postmaster at Savannah.
The order was quite a surprise to Post
master Workman and the authorities of
Tybee as well as the residents there. 1t
came like a thunderclap out of a clear
sky and they were at a loss to understand
ii. After searching around for a cause
they concluded that it was due to a re-
cent inspection of the Office by Inspector
O'Brien. Postmaster Workman was not
feeling in the best of humor that day it
appears, and his answers to the queries
of the inspector were unsatisfactory, nor
was the inspector treated with the defer
ence which is considered to be due from
fourth class postmasters to postoffice in
spectors.
The result was recommendation by
the inspector for the abolishing of the Of
flee, which recommendation appears to
have been promptly complied with. Mayor
Butler and other leading citizens of the
town are seeking to have this action re-
sclnded, and the order recalled before the
time named for its going into effect ar
riyes. They have called upon Congress
man Lester for his assistance, and have
also addressed petitions to the depart
ment direct.
1T is an outrage" said Mayor Butler
yesterday. with 300 soldiers at Fort
Screven, a large number of summer resi-
dents and many guests at the Hotel, the
postoffice Is necessity. 1t probably does
as large a business as any fourth class
postofhce In the state, and is a great con-
venience. l heard that there was some eff
fort being made to secure another post
master, but / had no suspicion whatever
Of any move to abolish the Office"
With the matter properly laid before the
department the order doing away with the
Tybee office Will doubtless be Withdrawn.
1t is undoubtedly true that there are hun
dreds of postofices in this section of the
country which do not reach anywhere
near the number of people that the Tybee
office does

NOT IN TWENTY HOURS,
The Jury i'm Case Against Jasper
Holmes Could Not Agree


After being out more than twenty
hours, the Superior Cour Jury that had
been engaged in an effort TO reach an
agreement as TO the guilt or innocence
of Jasper Holmes one of the men placed
on trial for taking oysters from the
leased beds Of Capt. Gus Oemler. reported
yesterday morning that they had been
unable TO agree, abe foreman Of the turv
was Withdrawn and a mistrial declared.
Lewis Fraser, who had been indicted
for the same offense and placed on trial
with practically the same evidence
against him, was found guilty by the
jury that tried his case. without trouble
and after brief elaboration. Fraser was
sentenced by Judge Falligant yesterday

costs OF the prosecution, or in lieu of
the payment of the fine 20 serve six
months on me county chaingang.

they stood Just where they had stood from
the beginning.
The results Of the two cases against
the oystermen that have been tried illus
trates the different effects that the same
evidence will produce upon the minds Of
different men. The evidence was the

In the other twenty hours or more failed

CATHEDRAL'S NEW PASTOR,
Rev. II. #. Kennedy Succeeds bishop
Kelley in That Capacity.

Rev. Robert f. Kennedy succeeds Ri.
Rev. B. j. Kelley as pastor of the Savan-
nah Cathedral. The appointment was an
nounced by Bishop Kelley last night. It
is one which viii give general satisfac-
ton, not only because of Father Kenne-
dy's eminent fitness for the position, but
for the further reason that he is native
OF Savannah. and has hosts of friends
here, who will take pleasure in his promo
ton.
Father Kennedy has been assistant I'M
der the pastorate Of Father Kelley for tho
last three or four years, and is thorough
ly familiar with the duties. The cordial
relations which have existed between the
new bishop and his new pastor also con-
tribute to make the appointment a suita-
bic one. 1t will be remembered that Faith
er Kennedy was recently appointed chan
cellor OF the diocese. and he now has a
double proof of the confidence and esteem
in which he is held by the Bishop.
