SUING UNCLE SAM
FOR DESTRUCTION OF SALT WORKS
BY sHERNIAN's ARMY.
BELLAH HEIRS THE CT 4IMANTS
EVIDENCE BEING TAKEN HERE as
TO THE sPOIIATION.

The Heirs of james w. BeIIah Claim
That the Property Destroyed and
Taken at White Bluff Was Worth
100000 and Suit for Tint
Amount Is Pending in the Court of
CIRims-sBr. John NicOIsOn Told of
the Value Of the Property and Its
Observation-Disclosures Not an Eye Wit
ness of the Work OF the Raiders.
The march of Sherman from Atlanta to
the sea, with some of the tender atten-
tons paid by his army to the property
of residents of this section. was recalled
by the Introduction of evidence before
Special Commissioner John S. Harrison
yesterday morning. in the case of James
w. Bellah against the United States.
The case is now pending in the Court
of Claims, at Washington. The present
plaintiffs are the heirs of Mr. Bellah's
estate. The claim is for the destruction
of the salt works owned by him at White
Bluff, during the Civil War, and destroy
ed by the Federal forces after the evac-
uation of Savannah by the Confederates
1t is claimed that the entire stock of salt
on hand was confiscated that the works
were destroyed and that the portable
property about the place, horses, mules
and anything else that could be taken
or driven away, disappeared with the in
vading army.
The claim is for $4,000. At that time
salt, because of the difficulty of manu-
facture, had become exceedingly scarce
and exceedingly dear, and the plant of
Mr.. Belah, at White Bluff, was one of
the few in this section Of the South.
At the hearing yesterday morning,
which was held in the Circuit Court room,
in the government building, the interests
of the government were looked after by
Mr.. George H. Walker of the Depart
ment of Justice, who is in Savannah at
present in connection with another case
pending in the Court of Claims.
The principal witness examined was
Mr.. John Nicolson, who had been a part
owner of the salt plant before it passed
into the hands of Mr.. Bellah. Mr.. Nicol-
son testified as to the value of salt in
those days, and as to the value of the
plant and other property of Mr.. Bellah
at White Bluff. He had not been an eye
witness of the seizure of the salt and the
| desertion of che property but he had seen
the place before and after the visit paid
it by Sherman's troops. lie said that
the spoliation had been sufficiently thor
ough and complete, and that little was
left after the raiders had completed their
work.
Other evidence will probably be taken
before the Commissioner before Mr.
Walker returns to Washington. Evidence
has already been taken in Atlanta and
| GAINESVILLE, in which latter town Mr.. Bel
lah lived up to the time of his death.
The evidence to be taken here is that OF
those old-time residents who retain
recollection of the fact connected with
the conhscation of the salt and the de-
struction of the plant.

II heard some talking and looking be-

I heard Walker ask Morrison if he was

said. The two men missed two blows
apiece with their shovels, but at the
third attempt Walker struck Morrison on
the back Morrison wheeled around and
knocked Walker down with his shovel.
Walker got up and drew his pistol and
fired one shot at Morrison. Isaiah knock

Will Appear Friday. Jan. %.

The Blatchford Kavanagh & Roney's
Boys Concert Company of Chicago will
positively appear Friday night, the 25th of
January at Guards Hall. The attraction
is an unusual one and will doubtless
draw an immense audience.
The newspapers everywhere speak in
highest terms of the company. The Char
lotte News says: "Roneys Boys and
Blatchford Kavanagh. in their concert
at the Y. NJ. c. A. last evening, scored
the musical hit of the sea son. Much had
been said and written about Mr.. Kav-
anagh and the boys, but the half had not
been told. The audience was not only en-
thusiastic, but was beside itself with de-
light. The boys were given perfect
ovation which was as sincere as It was
well merited. They are simply wonder
full"
The Richmond News says: "Roney's
Boys captured the hearts of Richmond
at the Y. NJ c. A. hail last night Such
continued and spontaneous applause is
rarely heard in the concert hall, probably
because the company far exceeded ex-
pectations."
Tickets are on sale at Soomons, Bull
street store and at Theus Bros.

MRS. VI. \. CHARLTON DEAD.
News Was Received by savannah
Relatives From New York.

News Was Received by savannah
Relatives From New York.
Mrs. Heman A. Charlton died yesterday
morning in New York. News of her death
came by telegram from Mr.. Charlton to
Mr.. r. G.. Fleming. No one in Savannah
knew that Mrs. Charlton had been i'll,
and the shock to her relatives by the
news of her death may be understood
The night before, a letter she had written
had been received, and it was supposed
that she was in the best of health. Mem
beers of her mothers family in Savannah
had been frequently told by friends, who
had seen Mrs. Charlton in New York that
she was looking very well, and they had
not the slightest thought that she was
destined to pass away so suddenly. 1t is
presumed, because of the prevalence or
the disease in New York, that Mrs. Charl-
ton died of grip.
Mrs. Charlton was thirty years OF age
She was a daughter of the ate Capt. X.
G. Fleming. general superintendent OF the
Plant System, and most OF her life was
spent in Savannah. During her chiiihood
and early giIlhood she was warmly loved
by all who knew her, and later, when
she was one of the most attractive mem
bers of the social set, her graces of per-
son, mind and heart marked her for the
admiration Of all. one child, a little girl
Of eight years, Eleanor, and her husband

Fleming a sis ter, Mrs Julien 3. Johnson;
a brother. Mr. II. G. Fleming, all of Sa-

About year ana haf ago, Mrs
Charlton went to New York. where she
and her husband had since resided. She

SMITH AFTER CORCORAN.
His Manager Says He Will Force
COrcOran TO Fight if Possible.

COrcOran TO Fight if Possible.
In letter received by the Morning
News last night from Chas. ]. Harvey,
manager of Mysterious Billy Smith,
he says: 81 am still firm in my deter
mination to force Corcoran to a match
with Smith if such thing is possible.
Smith still stands ready to meet Corcoran
under the terms of the Austral Athletic
Club. This club acted in a manifestly fair
and business-like manner, and proved in
it's dealings to be honest, game and lib
eTal and as it has no connection with
boxers it appeals to me a neutral ana
proper medium to settle a fistic dispute
under. 1t is hardly fair for Corcoran to
ask Smith 20 box under a club in which
he, Corcoran, is directly interested, as II
smacks of anything but fair play. Smith
is a comparative stranger in Savannah,
and wants to appear before the club
which guarantees fair play.
However, Smith is a fighter, fears no
man in his line of business, and is willing
to take chance. If Corcoran or those
connected with him will guarantee the
same terms as offered by the Austral
Athletic Club, Smith will take him on as
he is certain that he can defeat him in
jig-time order, if he can be induced TO
face him in the ring under talr cohdltlohs
1.-THE Austral Athletic Club has offered
Smith $500 win or loose with $loo ior
transportation for two, and expenses. IL
Corcoran will forward the $3.50 for eX-
penses, and send a certified check for
$500 to any New York newspaper, ana
will get a referee whom I know to be
honest and familiar with the rules, then
Smith will accept Immediately. l shall
insist upon a referee who is known to be
competent and honest.
Now if Corcoran is ON the level and
has any nerve at all he will accept either
of these propositions or at once stamp
himself a rank gutter All clubs look
alike. conditions being equal for honesty
and business ability, so now it's up to
Corcoran to make good himself or accept
the offer of the Austral Athletic Club.
From what Smith tells me, Corcoran
is more accustomed to holy-stoning
deck than to handling boxing gloves or
contests. If he considers this too severe
a censure, he can at one and the same
time show his sincerity to the public and
obtain the opportunity to thump Smith by
Immediately clnching this match
AS Corcoran has already agreed, so It Is
stated, to fight an unknown on Feb. Il,
it is hardly likely that he will make any
arrangement with Smith until after that
date. He could not be seen last night, 50
it is not known whether he will take up
this challenge or not.
