WAS A BIG REDUCTION.
Assessors Award Scaled Down by
Jury From $4,000 to S3312

Jury From $4,000 to S3312
According to the verdict of a jury
in the Superior Court, returned yes
terday afternoon. the Postal Tele-
graph Cable Company should pay the
Savannah. Florida and Western Rail-
way Company, for the privilege of con-
structing it's telegraph lines on the
railway company's right-of-w be-
tween Albany apd Townsville and
Thomasville and Valdosta, the princely
sum of $33 10.
The assessors in the condemnation
proceedings found that the damages
to the railway company from the con-
struction of the telegraph lines would
be $6,0O0 and this sum they awarded.
An appeal was made by the telegraph
company to jury in the Superior
Court, and the hearing has been in
progress for three days.
Arguments We're made by Col, P
w. Meldrim and Mr.. ]. r. Mcintosh.
for the telegraph company and by Mr..
w. l.. Clay, for the railway company.
Members of the jury said they could
not see from the evidence submitted
to them that the construction of the
telegraph line would be of any mate
rial detriment or work any material
damage to the railway companys
right-of-way and that. therefore, they
awarded only nominal damages. These
were based upon loss of the ground
actually used by the telegraph COM
pany in the erection of it's poles.
The case will go, of course, to the
supreme Court. Allegations OF error
will be based largely upon the refusal
of Judge Falligant to admit IN evidence
certain testimony as to the value of the
right-of- way which the railway COM
pany claimed was material and essen
tial to a clear understanding of the
injury by the jury.

HIS HEALTH IMPROVED.
Hon. Fleming 6. duBignOn Getting
stronger mt Saratoga.


Hon. Fleming G. duBignon is at
Saratoga Springs, where the condition
of his hearth is steadily improving.
This improvement is altogether encour-
aging TO HIS physician, and will be
source Of qualification to his friends
throughout the state.
Mr.. w. b. Stephens. Mr.. duBignon's
law partner, said yesterday that all the
letters received by him from Saratoga
are bright and encouraging in their
nature.
Indeed" he said, there seems to
be a general misrepresentation as to
the real condition of Mr.. duBignon's
health and of the exact reason for his
withdrawal on it's account from the
race for Governor. There has been an
appreciable and steady improvement in
his health for the last six months, and
it was not so much his present condi-
ton, as the effect that it was feared
might be produced by the strain and
excitement of a heated political cam
psign, that induced Mr.. duBignon's
physician to advise and urge his re-
tirement from the race for Governor.
Mr.. duBignon's present health is COM
psratiVely quite good"
Many letters from his friends over the
state have been received by Mr.. du-
KiEnon, in which are expressed regret
that he felt it advisable to withdraw
from the race and the conviction that
he would certainly have been Governor
had he remained a candidate. Many
of these kindly expressions of friend
ship and goodwill. Mr. duBignon has
not been able to answer: he appre-
ciatcs them none the less highly, and
will answer them as soon as his health
and strength will permit.

THERE'LL BE NO STAMPS.
All Varitie~ stamp Deputy Sells win
BE Sent Out of city.

At noon Tuesday, Mr.. II. E. Wilson.
stamp deputy collector of internal
revenue at Savannah. will stop the
sale of stamps of every character and
all denominations, bundle up his en-
tire stock and send it on to the Office
of the collector, in Atlanta. There the
stock on hand in the entire state will
be checked over by experts from the
department at Washington.
The execution of the plan means that
for several days at least no stamps
will be on sale in Savannah and that
neither the stamps for beer and to-
bacco nor the documentary and pro-
prietary stamps issued and sold under
the provisions of the war revenue act
can be obtained during this period in
Savannah. Mr.. Wilson does not know
just how long this condition of af-
fairs VIII continue, but it will be sew
eral days at any rate. He advises those
who use the stamps in their respective
business to obtain them before Tues
day in sufficient quantity to last for
q few days ahead.

CARTWRIGHT IN TROUBLE
Arrested second Time for Obtaining
Money Under False Pretenses.

w. d. Cartwright is in trouble again.
Two or three weeks ago, as he landed
from a New York steamer, he was ar
rested for obtaining money under false
pretenses. Though this case was set
tied the man does not seem to be able
to keep out of trouble very long.
Yesterday morning he was arrested
again, this time by Policeman UNI
bach. He is wanted in Vaudeville, S.
c., where he is charged with working
NJ. Juba, a resident of that place, for
$500 Juba says Cartwright got the
money from him on the understanding
that it would be spent Immediately in
the erection of a house on Cartwright's
land, but that il was diverted to other
uses and purposes. The complainant
in this case says it is only one of
number which are ready to be brought
against Cartwright as soon as he re-
turns to Vaudeville, where the defen-
dant, according to current reports, has
been cutting an exceedingly wide
swath.
For a time he represented there
Leonard & Co, New York commercial
house of prominence and standing, and
through this connection was enabled to
get into the good graces and the pock-
cts of the people of that little town.
He did them, good and hard, they say,
and all they ask is chance to get
back at him. He says that the whole
story is distortion of facts and his ar
rest on the particular charge preferred
by Juba an attempt to prosecute or
blackmail him. He admits owing Juba
the money but says there was nothing
fraudulent in the transaction and that
ne VIII make Juba smart for the mart
he has played in the arrest.
Cartwright was locked up at the DO
nee station house after his arrest and
is there now. Last night a telegram
was received from the sheriff of the
county in which Vaudeville is situa-
ted, asking that Cartwright be detain-
ed until the arrival of an officer with
a warrant. Cartwright says he has no

Dead Infant.

An inquest was held yesterday by
Coroner ]. G.. Keller in the case of the
dead infant found two or three days

was the driver of a dairy wagon, who
said his horse had SHE'D away from

be the body of the infant, which lay
in the ditch. alongside the road. The
other witness said he had seen a me-

something therefrom just at the point
where the body was found.
The body was that of an infant only
