FLORIDA SEA ISLANDS.

Gordon & Co. Received 1t From
Spnrkman Bros, Fort White.
The first bale of new Florida sea ISL
and cotton was received yesterday by
W. w. Gordon & Co., who landed it
at the Cotton Exchange early in the
afternoon. After it had been inspect
ed by members of the sea island cot
firms warerooms. The new bale grad
ed fancy Florida, and was generally
pronounced clean and attractive
The new bale comes from Sparkman
Bros. of Fort White, Fla. Advices
that it would be shipped were received
by Gordon & Co. on Aug. II. and adj
vices of its shipment with bill of lad
ing inclosed were received by the firm
Aug. IS.
The receipt of this bale was not
without its interesting feature. For
time it looked as if there was to be
another contest. Butler, Stevens & Co
had also received advices that bale
had been shipped them from Florida
Up to the time Gordon & Co. were
advised that their bale was here the
race was on. and it was uncertain
which firm was to have the distinction
of landing the first Florida sea island
cotton in Savannah. Betting would
have been about even, for in the alb
sence of any tips" as to the racing
qualities of this cotton it was a toss
up" as to the winner. About $3.50
o'clock, however, the Gordon bale
rolled into town, and within a short
time thereafter was landed at the Cot
ton Exchange. 1t was pretty warm
day for racing, the official thermome-
ter being 100. Yet when the winning
bale rolled under the wire the only
evidence of exhaustion was a torn
place on it's side.
The new cotton was not sold and
probably will not be at present

JUDGE BARROW'S GUNS.
Spanish Mnuser and Kentucky Flint
Lock Side by Side.

In a corner of Judge Barrow's pri-
vate office in the Court House
are a couple of examples Of the old
time and modern rifle. One is a Span
ish Mauser, captured at Santiago, and
the other is a Kentucky flint and steel
lock rifle The latter, from butt to muz-
zle, is about feet in length, and car
ries a ball about the size of a large
buckshot.
In olden times it was thought that
the length and weight of the gun in
creased its accuracy and range. With
the gun are a powder horn and shot
and patch bag of home make.
1t was with such weapons as this
that the backwoodsmen of Georgia, the
Carolinas, Virginia, Tennessee and
Kentucky fought the Indians and the
British, and it was their deadly fire in
the hands of Gen. Andrew Jackson s
men at the Battle of New Orleans that
drove back the invaders and won
memorable victory from soldiers who
had faced Napoleon's veterans. The
rife is, without doubt. hundred years
old. Judge Barrow bought it in the
mountains of North Carolina.

supply Cannot Run Them.
Now that the water-works have been
given a capacity of 10000 900 gallons a
day, Savannahians, with aesthetic
tastes. are wondering when the Bull
street fountains will be put in play.
That in Forsyth Park and that in
Chippewa Square are attractive fea-
lures of their respective environment
when water gushes from their open
ings.
Mayor MYERS was asked about this
matter yesterday. He said that ne had
not considered it, but that. as it was
mentioned, he thought it worth while
to investigate. He will see if arrange
ments cannot be made to have both
fountains play during the late after

FORGED ORDER FOR SUPPER.
Negro Who FIimfiammed Steinman's
Restaurant Caught by Stark.

Detective Julius Stark arrested
negro yesterday for rather an unusual
crime, or that is for rather an unusual
variation of a common crime. Monday
night the man was hungry and so set
his wits to work to get a supper and a
good one at that. As the result of his
negotiations he decided to forge an
order for supper on Steinmans res
taurant, and this he did using the name
of a patron well known to the restau-
ranter.
The forger passed himself off as the
man that had been sent for the meal,
and it was delivered without question
Then the foxy one hied himself to some
out of the way place and not only en-
joyed the supper but kept plates,
waiter and all. Stark was put on the
case and after little quiet work nail
ed his man. 1t is not improbable that
the clever one win eat at the expense
of the county for some time to come.

WHY NEW TRIAL WAS REFUSED
Judge Pope Barrow's Views of TAFT
nall VIII Cnse Verdict.

nall VIII Cnse Verdict.
Judge Pope Barrow of the Superior
Court yesterday filed in the clerks Of
flee a statement of his reasons for
denying a new trial in the William
Tattnall will case. The denial of the
motion for a new trial was reported
in yesterdays Morning News. The
statement is as follows:
viii of William Tattnall.-The ver-
dict found in this case, in my opin-
ion, is against the weight of evidence.
1t is verdict which / would not have
found, or agreed to, if l had been on
the jury. think that the decided pre-
ponderance of testimony is in favor of
the will, but there is evidence suff1-
cient to support the verdict, and it
seems that the jury saw proper to be-
lieve those witnesses whose testimony
indicates a want of capacity on the
part of the testator.
This being the case, / do not feel
at liberty to set that verdict aside.
1t is a well-settled principle of law
that the credibility of witnesses, the
weight of testimony, and the decision
of all questions of fact in any case, is
within the exclusive province of the
jury. In this case there is no error
of law pointed out, there is no claim
that the verdict is the offspring of
bias, prejudice. passion or mistake. 1t
is simply a case in which, upon a
question of fact, twelve jurors have
seen proper to take a different view
of the testimony from that which the
court would have taken.
ITO set aside that verdict under such
circumstances, it seems to me, would
be an usurpation by the court of the
powers of the jury. With regret
overrule the motion for a new trial
solely on This ground

In January. 1898, Scott Patrick,
eoIored, obtained judgment against
the city of Waxhachfe for $50. Some

levied on by the Sheriff. The date
of the sale was set for tomorrow,
but the sheriff has been restrained
from making the sale by a writ of
injunction issued by Judge billiard,
