seven feet from tip to tip, and the look

The passengers on the 1890 train re-

furnished little episode that promised
a tragedy but ended in nothing more
than momentary excitement.
The train had pulled out from Hotel
Tybee and was still going at a rather
slow rate of speed when the engineer
discovered dark object that looked
like human body ahead on the track.
The engine was Immediately stopped
and a self-appointed committee went
out to investigate the trouble. An err
ratio individual. who had presumably
imbibed somewhat too freely, having
reached the stage when all beds looked
alike TO him, had selected the Tybee
track as a convenient resting place for
the night. He was induced to remove
to seat on the roadside, where he
gracefully submitted to expostulations.
1t was learned that his name is Dor
sey and that ne is an employee of the
Seaboard Air Line. Dorsey was invited
to place in the baggage car and, Of
fering no serious objections to his new
quarters, was brought TO town, appar-
emily quite content to be rescued from
the jaws of death.

ED RIVERS NOT GUILTY.
Jury Found Him Justified i'm killing
His Brother.

Jury Found Him justified i'm killing
His Brother.
Ed Rivers was tried in the Superior
Court yesterday morning for the muir
der of Henry Rivers, and was found
not guilty by the jury. Rivers is a
negro boy of Is. He killed his brother,
only few years older.
The homicide occurred in Oglethorpe
lane, near TIotfston street, on the night
of June II. Henry Rivers was killed
as he chased up the stairs after his
brother and asahe was about to strike
the boy with an empty beer bottle.
The evidence disclosed plenty of
provocation for the killing. The wit
nesses all testified that there had been
two or three quarrels between the
brothers during the day preceding the
killing, which had led to blows and in
which Ed Rivers, smaller and younger
than Henry, had got decidedly the
worse of it.
The only eye witness to the killing
was James Williams. He was in the
house at the time, and had seen Ed
Rivers fee upstairs, pursued by Hen
ry. A beating more severe than the
ordinary had just been inflicted by the
elder brother upon the younger, and
Ed had fled to avoid further punish
ment. AS he reached the top of the
stairs he stopped and in trice Henry
was upon him, the empty bottle poised
above Eds head.
Then it was that Ed drew his knife
and used it, ihfiicting two wounds In
the boys side. The slayer made no
particular effort to effect an escape,
and was soon captured and sent into
the station house, At first it was not
thought that Henry Rivers wounds
were particularly dangerous, but his
condition grew rapidly more critical,
and he died during the early morning
of the day following the infection Of
the wounds,
For himself the boy made a clear and
collected statement, to the effect that
his brother had followed and beaten
him all during the day and that when
at last he used his knife it was only
to prevent Henry from killing or inf1ict-
ing serious bodily wounds upon him.
At the trial Solicitor General Osborne
appeared for the state and R. L. Cold
ing for the defendant. Under the
charge of Judge Barrow the case went
TO the Jury and little time was con-
sumed before verdict of not guilty
was returned.

PLANS FOR NEW COURT.
Committee to Draft Dill will Meet I'm
Savannah.


The bill that is to be submitted to
the next session of the general as
sembly, which will have for it's object
the amendment of the constitution in
such manner as to provide for the es-
Enlistment of an intermediate APP
pellate, court, will be drafted in Sa-
vannah on Aug. 20.
The subcommittee of the general
committee of the State Bar Associa-
ton, which has been appointed to
draft the bill. is composed of Wash
ington Dessau, Samuel B. Adams and
j. H. Merrill and the two out of town
members of the committee will meet
with Mr. Adams here on next We'd
nesday. On that day the bill will be
drafted and prepared for submission
TO the next meeting of the general COM
mittee, which will be held in Atlanta
on Sept 49,
Mr.. Adams returned yesterday morn
ing from Atlanta, where the commit
tee met on Tuesday.
when we met" said Mr.. Adams,
Il found that the members of the
committee had changed their minds
as to the proper method to give re-
lief to the Supreme Court At the
former meeting we had all reached the
conclusion that the passage of a bill
limiting appeals and writs of error
to the Supreme Court, with certain
specified exceptions. to cases in which
the amount involved, exclusive of in
terest and costs, exceeded $500, was
about all we could hope to accom-
plish.
we realize, of course, that such a
bill would not entirely relieve the SUI
preme Court, but we felt then it was
the best that could be hoped for. How
ever, the committee, after more pro-
longed consideration, had decided that
with the several exceptions to the rule
limiting jurisdiction the evil would
scarcely be remedied. They further
concluded, after discussing the ques-
ton with legislators and members of
the bar in their home counties, that it
would be difficult to effect the passage
of a bill limiting the Supreme Courts
appellate jurisdiction to cases in which
$500 was involved. Especially in the
country districts is there objection to
such a limitation.
Under the circumstances the cree
alton of an intermediate appellate
court, between the Superior Courts of
the state and the Supreme Court, was
fixed upon as the proper and most
feasible solution of the problem.
Generally it was decided that this
court should, have jurisdiction of APP
peals from all the courts in the state
from which appeals to the Supreme
Court now lie, but that when the
amount involved exceeded 81, 900 par
ty might appeal either to the new
court or to the Supreme Court di-
rect.
From the new court to the Su-
preme Court appeals win lie to review
errors of law only; there will be no
right of appeal on questions of fact or
the sutficiency of evidence"

Mrs. Carrie H. Prince Makes a Pro-
test About Her Fence.
Mrs. Carrie #. Prince, through her
attorneys, Gignilliat & Stubbs, has
given notice that the city will be held
liable for damages to her property on
Henry street, east. resulting from the
removal of fence a few days ago by
the city marshal to make the two lots
conform to the property line.
The city is given the alternative of
putting the fence back where it was.
If 1t remains where it was placed by
the city marshal and a sidewalk is
laid upon the ground that was enclosed
by the fence, the city will be sued in
the courts.
Mrs. Prince declares that she was
not given notice of the intention of the
city to remove the fence. If she had
received such notice, her attorneys as
sert, she would have secured an in
junction against the removal of he
fence. ~t. rs f.H.
