COURT TERM BEGINS
JUDGE sEABRooK WILL CHARGE
THE GRAND JURY TOMORROW.
FOR FIRST TIME IN YEARS
JUDGE FALLIGANT WILL NOT PER-
FORM THIS DUTY.

Although His Health Has Improved
He Take the Complete Rest His
Physicians Have Prescribed.
Charge to Grand Jury Will BE
Delivered when Court Convenes
at 10 O'ClOck-Rest of Day Given
Up to Call of Docket and Trial OF
Divorce Cnses-Judge Seabrook
VIII he on the Bench During the
Month of December.
The December term OF the Superior
Court of Chatham county will convene
the first time in many years, perhaps
for the first time he has been judge of
this judicial circuit, Judge Falligant
will not preside.
Although much better than he has
been for many months the judge has
physicians and not subject himself to
the mental and physical strain that
would be certain to accompany the eff
fort to preside for the first few days
or weeks of the term, always the most
arduous and involving the longest peri
DDS of constant judicial labor. Judge
Seabrook, of the Atlantic circuit, will
preside in Judge Falligant's place.
When court convenes the panel of
grand jurynen will be called, and, of
ty-three will be chosen to constitute
the grand jury for the December term
of the court. There are always some
of the forty who are not in the city
and others who have valid excuses,
that the court is compelled to recog-
nize, for declining to serve. These ELI
minated there are usually not a great
many to be excused to reduce the panel
to the legal number.
Judge Seabrook will deliver the
charge to the grand jury Immediately
after it has been empaneled and sworn,
and 1t will proceed. either at once or
later during the day, to the discharge
of the duties imposed upon it by law
and pointed out to it in the charge of
the court.
The docket of the court will be called
and civil and criminal cases assigned
for trial on days during the term.
Whatever remains of tomorrow after
the grand jury mas Deen efnpaneleQ ana
sworn and charged by the court will
be devoted to the trial CT divorce
cases, of which there are now in the
neighborhood of fifty on the docket of
the court, which are in shape for trial
at this term. In some of these first
verdicts have already been secured ard
the parties await only the grant of a
second verdict and the decree of the
court to reach the legal separation ore
or both Of them desire. 1t is probable
also that Tuesday will also be con-
sumed in the considerable and dis
posal of these cases. Some criminal
cases may also reach trial on Tues
day.
Wednesday the trial Of the numerous
criminal cases now on the docket will
regularly begin. These cases range in
Importance from simple larceny to
murder and in their trial the entire
month of December will certainly be
consumed.
1t is expected that Judge Seabroo's
will be here and preside on the bench
during the month, unless he is called
away by the necessity of attending to
urgent judicial business in his lWn cir
cult thus permitting Judge Falligant
to secure Il rest he needs and that the
present impaired condition of his
health requires he shall take.

under fireplace in the office. The
fireplace had to be cut away by the
firemen and a stream from one of the
chemical tanks extinguished the blaze.
The damage TO the property is covered

REPORT ON THE lSTHMlAN CANAL,

The report Of the Isthn,isn Canal
Commission was transmitted to both
branches OF Congress at Washington,
Thursday.
The commission, as anticipated several
weeks ago favors the Nicaragua route,
and estimates $3.50, 1854, 062 as the total
cost Of the construction OF the canal
through Nicaragua. The estimated cost
of the Panama route is sli4, 233, 35S,
but. the report says, 1t would cost
Sl09, l44, 900, to obtain the Panama con :
cession. The commission values the
work done at $40. QUO, 600. The report
says the Panama route is feasible as a
sea level canal, while the Nicaragua
route must be by locks, but Lake
Nicaragua will furnish an inexhausti-
bic supply Of water Tor the canal. The
Nicaragua route has no natural harbors
at either end, but satisfactory harbor6
may be constructed. Harbors already
exitt at each end OF the Panama route,
but considerable work must be done at
the entrance to the harbor ON the At.
lantio side.
With adequate foros and plant, the
commission estimates that the Mica
ragua Canal can be completed in six
| years, exclusive of two years fol
preparation. Ten years ale estimated
to complete the Panama Canal. The
total length of the Nicaragua route il
1888 &c miles, and the Panama routs 49, 0!
miles. Tho estimated cost of operat
ing and maintaining the Nicaragua
Canal annually is 1850, 600 greater
than that of the Panama Canal. Tn,
estimated time for deep draugh
vessel to pass through the Panami
Canal Is ~ hours, and through tn,
Nicaraugs Canal 33 hours. This Mica
raRua route, the report says. is more
advantageous for commerce. save tina
originating On the west coast Of Soutt
America. For the gulf ports ths ad
vantage is two days, and for most o
the ports on the Atlantic and Pacific
one day. The Nicaragua route is sale
to be better for sailing vessels, or
account of favoring wind. Hygieni,
conditions also favcr Nicarsgua. TIT
commission says the United State!
should acquire control of strip O
territory 10 miles wide. from sea to sea
through which to build the canal Th,
consent OF Nicaragua and Costa Ric,
must be obtained to construct th,
canal, but the report says this GAL
easily be secured The concession
granted by the Colombian government
to the Panama Canal Co. have man,
. years to run, and new concessions can
,, not be granted the United States.
The report concludes as follows
"After considering all the facts de
veloped by the Investigations the com
mission IS of the opinion that the mos
practicable and feasible route for al
isthmian canal, to be under the con
troll. management and ownership Of tn
United States, is that known as th
Nicaragua route.
