CITY WON ITS SUIT.
Verdict Against Floyd & Co. and j.
w. Conner for 1880.

w. Conner for $1,SoO.
The case of the Mayor and Aldermen
of Savannah against Floyd & Co. and
]. w. Conner, was tried in the City
Court, before Judge Norwood and
jury, yesterday. The suit was for $1,000
for the rent of Twickenham plantation
and at the conclusion of the evidence
Judge Norwood directed a verdict for
the plaintiff for the full amount. 1t
was promptly rendered.
The fact that the amount of rent
claimed was actually due and owing
was not denied by the defendants, but
they filed in justification of their re-
fusal to pay plea of set-off, alleging
they had been damaged in the sum of
$4,000 by the negligent conduct of the
city.
S. B. Adams, city attorney, moved
to strike this plea, on the ground that
the defendants had already filed suit
against the city and the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway Com
pany for this identical amount based
on this identical cause of action. Mr..
Adams contended that the defendants
must choose between their two RENE
dies and not endeavor to sue the city
for damages and at the same time
plead these damages as a Set-off in
suit brought against them by the city.
Judge Norwood upheld this conten-
ton and the plea was stricken. AS
this was the only defense offered the
action of the court left the defendants
without a leg to stand on and their
counsel lost interest in the case from
that time on. A verdict for the city,
rendered at the direction of the court,
followed in due time and as a matter
of course

FROM A WESTERN TOUR.

turned to Savannah.

turned to Savannah.
Mr.. D. f. Jack and family returned
yesterday morning from an extended
trip through the West. They visited
many points of interest, especially on
the Pacific slope. From Lower Cali
fornia to Vancouver they went, maxi
ing stays at a number of points. In
San Francisco on July 4, Mr.. Jack said,
he wore an overcoat, which shows the
radical difference in the weather here
and there.
Last night Mr.. Jack left for Jack
sonville on business. where he will re-
main for a short time before returning
to Savannah. He is now a gentleman
of leisure. having retired from the ac-
tive life of a railway official. This re-
tirement, he said, is permanent. He
will spend his time in this country and
abroad. The more of ii he spends IN
Savannah the better pleased will be
his many friends in this city
While away Mr.. Jack rather lost
touch with the railway situation. He
said he did not know the plan of or
ganization of the Atlantic Coast Line
until he reached st. Louis on his way
home. This information had not found
him on the Pacific Coast. His long
official connection with the Plant Sys-
tenn will always render him interested
in that property. and he will continue
to observe it's progress under the own
ership Of the Atlantic Coast Line.

Hackmen's Claims.

Considera ton, the hackmen think, is
due them because they work under Ii
censes. They think some centrally To-
Gated street like Liberty should be al
lowed them as a stand. Liberty is a
shady street, and this, they say should
be considered for the sake of the
horses. McDonough street, they de-
clare, is out of the way, and they OBJ
ject to its being made place for the
assemblage of hacks.
SIT looks as If it would be a great
hardship on $50 or IT'S hackmen in the
city that pay their license, run them
and feed their stock, support them
selves and their family, to remove the
present stand from where it is to Nc
Donough street, just for the sake of
the Savannah Transfer Company and
Feeley's Transfer Company" is the
way the petition puts it.
1t is suggested that, if Council de-
termines to move the hacks from their
present stand, they be assigned the
south side of Liberty street. next the
grass plat, between Bull and Whit
aker.

Donation for the Band.

The question of a donation for the
First Regiment Band will be con-

bring this matter to the attention of
Council in the meeting of the Com
mittee of the Whole. 1t is very likely
that some assistance will be given the
band by the city because of the public
concerts in the Park Extension These
concerts have been largely attended
showing that there is demand for
such entertainment and that it is fully
appreciated.

Property Owners Protest.

Property owners and residents in the
neighborhood to which 1t is proposed
to move the hackstand do not want it
any more than the Hussars do. They
have filed a protest with the clerk of
Council. and this will be presented at
the meeting.
Capt. w. w. Gordon, Jr., command
ing the Georgia Hussars, and other
members of the troop have been ex-
erting themselves to have the stand
removed from in front of its property
Capt. Gordon called on Alderman Wat
son yesterday, and Alderman Watson
is disposed to press his ordinance,
which will be brought up for passage
to-day.
Alderman Watson thinks that the
McDonough street location is the best
that could be proposed in the vicinity
of that the hackmen already have. 1t
has been suggested, however, that the
.hackmen be confined to the Harris
street stand. between Bull and Dray-
ton, thus abolishing the stand in front
of the Hussars' Club.
The police were yesterday enforcing
the rule, allowing but two hacks to
stand in front of the club. This has
long been ignored.
Alderman Watson will probably in
troduce another hack ordinance soon.
This will be for the establishment of
a stand near the Union Station. No
hackstand has been assigned there.
Damage From Grading Claimed.
Notices were filed with the clerk of
Council yesterday by Mr.. Walter p.
LaRoche. representing four Stewart
street property owners, who claim that
their lots or the north side of that
street have been damaged in varying
sums because of the lowering of the
grade of the street and the consequent
inaccessibility of their property. Mrs.
Mary Hawkins asks damages to he
extent of $1,000 for one-half lot Mr..
P. Burns wants $1,000 for damages to
one and one-half lots. Mr.. George
Schroeder considers that his one-third
of lot has been damaged to the
amount of $4,000. Mr.. William Kier-
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1902-07-23

The other petition of the hackmen
shows that they are opposed to the
ordinance introduced by Alderman
Watson, proposing to change the hack
stand from in front of the Hussars'
Armory to the north side of McDonough
street between Bull and Drayton. The
hackmen ask that no change be made,
as it would operate to the inconven-
fence of the public.
Some years ago, the petitioners oe-
clare, the ordinance establishing the
hackstand was adopted, and they
claim that there has been no protest
made against it until the present. They
allege that, as the Hussars have rented
an office in the front of their building
to the Savannah Transfer Company,
whose hacks are allowed to stand there,
1t is this reason, paramount to all 9TH
ers, that induces them to seek the re-
moval of the other hacks from around
the building.
The claim is made that Messrs.
Gleason and Watson once sought to
have the hackstand removed to some
point near the park. but that the effort
failed because of the claim that it
would prove a great inconvenience to
the public in the way of loss of time
from waiting upon the hacks when
they might be needed.
