WAS A VETERAN oGLETHoRPE.
Capt. John j. Griffin Had Many
Friends i'm Savannah.

Capt. John J. Griffin. who was killed
in Columbia. s. C. Saturday afternoon
by Maj. Barnard Bee Evans. was well
known in Savannah. and was here often.
l. was only EAST week or the week be-
fore that he was at the Morning News.
having called 10 see its editor and pro-
prietor, who was a fellow prisoner with
Capt. Griffin during the Confederate war,
and for whom cared when wounded.
Capt. Grimm was a native of ireland,
but came to Savannah when lad. At
the beginning of the war for Southern
independence he was a clerk, and when
the Oglethorpe Light Infantry volunteered
he enlisted with II, and served
with the corps until the battle of
Gettysburg. where he had one of his
legs shattered. He was made prisoner,
and on his return to the South, he was
a cripple and a sufferer, and so remained
through life. using in later years. a heavy
cane TO assist him along. He was the
bravest of the brave. seeming not to
know such word as fear. With the res
tora ton of peace he obtained employ
,ment in Macon in the railroad service,
and was for years general freight
agent of the East Tennessee. Virginia
and Georgia Railroad and had the reputa-
ton of being one of the hardest workers
for his company in those days when so
much business depended on the aggress-
iveness of the heads of departments
With the absorption of the East Ten
nessee. Virginia and Georgia by the
Southern, Capt Griffin lost his place. but
was given that of agent at Jacksonville,
which he resigned to accept the South
ern agency of the Mexican National Rail-
way. This he gave up for the position
Of Southern representative of the Nor
folk and Western Railroad which he
held at the time of his death.
Capt. Griffns friends. who are TO be
found all over the South. will regret his
tragic death. He was SO years of age.
though he could we'll pass for fifteen years
younger.

APPROACHING THE END.
Believed Grand Jury VIII Conclude
Conception Investigation Friday.


Il is expected that the next session OF
the grand jury % the Superior Court
which zlH be held next Friday. will mark
the end o. the investigation the grand
jury Is making into the conditions Of po-
2irscal corruption and debauchery said TO
have prevailed AT the last special election.
Il is the impression that on that day
those politicians whom the grand jury
desires 10 interrogsts and who have not
yet undergone the ordeal will appear and
that after these there will be no others
OF course. there may be Developments
which will induce the grand jury to con-
tinue the investigation. but they are not
expected
So far. no evidence has been given the
grand inquest which would authorize the
return OF indictments against anybody for
the sale or purchase Of votes. Enough
has been shown. doubtless, TO convince
the grand jurymen that conditions on
election day were exceedingly bad and
the purchase Of votes, whether openly or
disguised as work about the polls" or
influence" as common and as frequent
as could be. But no specific evidence
of any specific purchase has yet been ad-
duced- The grand jury doubtless feels IL
has been unfortunate in the selection of
the witnesses II has had summoned be-
fore it, and has chosen those few who,
OF the many who took greater or smaller
parts in the election, know least of what
happened.
II is believed thet the grand jury will
content itself with strong animadversions
on existing conditions in its general pre-
sentiments and that no special present.
ments. charging criminal offer ses against
named persons will be made.

DULL WEEK IN COURTS.
Law and Order Cases Not Yet As.
signed for Trial.

This week promises to be dull one in
the courts. No civil cases of special in
terest or Importance have been assigned
for trial and in the Superior Court the
criminal docket, which has been about
exhausted. has given way to the transac-
ton of civil business.
Civil cases have been assigned for trial
during the remainder of April and the
entire month of May. 1t is not expected
that many criminal cases will be tried
before June, though in the event that
there are continuances in the civil cases
assigned. the solicitor general may be
called upon to fill up a weeks end with
some of the trials in which he appears as
prosecutor.
The cases in which indictments were re-
turned through the efforts of the agents
OF the Law and Order League have never
been assigned for trial. Mr.. w. +. Slater
was engaged by the league TO represent
the prosecution in these cases and the So
licitor general informed him, some days
since, that he could have them assigned
when he pleased. Mr.. Slater said then
that ne was not ready to have the cases
tried, and he hasn't been able to get
ready yet.
Indications point to the conclusion that
the Law and Order League. If not dead, is
sleeping very soundiy. Its moral influence
at any rate, has ceased to make Itself
felt, and drug stores sell soda water and
the like articles with the same Sunday
freedom that obtained before the league
had its birth. The ingenious soda water
dispenser who labelled his place cafe
and put up board announcing that por-
terhouse steaks and the like delicacies
were for sale, has erased the one and
taken down the other Vanilla soda can
be obtained in Savannah with the same
ease on Sunday as on any other day in
the week.
1t may be that the Law and Order
League is but awaiting the passage of the
present grand jury. The league was very
greatly incensed and offended when the
grand jury refused TO include in its pre-
sentiments against those engaged in SIn-
day liquor selling the averment that
would have resulted. in the event of their
conviction, in the forfeiture of their IL
censes. 1t was said then that the league
was too discouraged to make any further
effort while the present grand jury held
the boards, and that IL would wait until
its successor had been drawn and sum-
moned and sworn in and began to inaugu-
rate prosecutions against violators of the
law. Then the league, it is said, would
start in again.
Therefore it is that some think the
present appearance of inocuous deSue-
tude which the league presents to the eye
of the casual beholder deceptive, and that
the league is not nearly so inocuous as it
seems, This is one of the problems that
bers of the league maintain a solemn ST.

PLENTY OF APPARATUS.
Situation at New Fire station on
Thirty-eight street.


The two men at fire station No. g. on
Barnard and Thirty-eighth streets were
startled at $50 o'clock yesterday afternoon
when the gong in the engine house sound
ed an alarm for the first time. The box
was No. y, in the northern section of the
city, and the South Side fire lighters were
not forced TO make public appearance,
aud show their inferior force. The two
white horses ran under the harness, at
tached to the hose wagon and believing
that they were about to earn their feed,
showed signs of pleasure. Their express
sion, however, was one of disappointm'
when they were placed back in their
quarters without even having the harness
snapped around them.
There are no horses for the engine at
this station. and it is attached to the hot
water apparatus for ornamental purposes
only. With thu present force of two men
the engine is of no use and hre is not
kept in tho furnace to heat the water
in the boiler There are no horses to pull
the steamer, even If there were men
enough TO man it. Two reserve hose
wagons are also in the new engine house,
but there are no animals TO take them
To a fire. and no men to start the
streams in motion, even though there
were horses.
A Morning News representative visited
the new fire station yesterday afternoon
Just after the alarm had been sounded
and at frst glance the place appeared
empty enough The two fire ladies were
on duty and ready TO answer a call from
any of the neighbors, but the su round
mss made them appear sleepy. The men
seemed 10 realize that they are bump
on the department proper and that they
arc powerless TO do anything without
companions.
With more men and horses the station
will be one of the best in the city IL Is
well constructed, and all that is now re-
CURED is men to do the work of Ore night
ing ana animals to take the apparatus
TO the scene of action. Georgia telephone
30. IS located at this station, but as
yet not call has been sent over the
wires.

NOT OBSERVED BY ALL.
Some of the Churches Postponed
Port Society Collections.

The Port Society anniversary was not
observed last night in all of the churches
to which circulars were sent. Some OF
the pastors decided that it would be wiser
TO postpone the collections that were de,
sired, as more money can be raised by
giving advance notice of the purpose OF
collections and having them made al
morning services. Next Sunday. probably
the anniversary viii be celebrated in the
churches that yesterday postponed it.
The celebration of the anniversary ii
all OF the churches is an innovation, tbs
plan having usually been TO close most OF
the churches for a general meeting al
some one of them. DR.. James Y. Fair
pastor of the Independent Presbyterian
Church, said last night that he thought
the old pan the better.
The annual meeting of the Port Society
will be held next Thursday night at the
Bethel.
