CULPRlTS OF ALL KINDS
TRIED IN CITY COURT.
Interesting Session Resulted in
Numerous Convictions Yesterday.

Interesting Session Resulted in
Numerous Convictions Yesterday.
The City Court held an interesting
session yesterday. All of the cases were
tried by jury, and there were so MANY
of them that it became necessary to
continue them until to-day when they
will be tried after the hearing of the
Jail deliveries. Dan ]. Charlton, ESQ.
prosecuted for the state, and in almost
every case a conviction resulted.
An unusual case was that of Harry
turner, who was made to face a jury
of his peers for working an alleged
swindle. But there was a most reason
able doubt of his guilt, and he was dis
missed. He was accused of accepting a
$50 bill which was given to him as a
dollar bill. Turner said he was only
sorry it wasn't yellow fellow.
Willie Walker and Austin Collins
were tried for playing skin in one of
the livery stables about town. They
were caught. with six others, in a live
ly game, and the other members of the
sextette chose to plead guilty to the
impeachment, but Walker and Collins
thought they would put the county to
the expense of a trial. AS a result they
will serve nine months on the county
lOICeS, White lnelT partners Ill the game
will only serve six.
John Ray. a foxy individual who
thought to pass a check of the Ocean
Steamship Company, though he had
already assigned it for value received
to another, was given just six months
on the gang.
May Hector, a white woman, was ar
raigned for vagrancy. 1t was disclosed
that she lead an immoral and profit
gate life, which brought her clearly
under the operation of the Calvin law,
but on the promise of her husband to
take her away from the city and sup
port her, her sentence of $50 or six
months was suspended by the court.
The evidence showed that the woman
had bestowed her affections upon
Chinaman by whom she was employed,
but the husband overlooked this fact
in his eagerness to prevent his wife
being sent to the county changing.
Several others faced the judicial mu-
sic, their offenses being the usual ones
of cheating and swindling larceny or
Vagrancy. Those who were not tried
yesterday will be given hearings to-

GERKE'S SECOND JUMP
INTO THE RIVER.

Errntic German Sailor Again
Plunged Overheard From Boats
Deck.
Richard Gerke, who figured con-
spicuously in public chronicles several
days ago by reason of his imitation of
the Speedy high dive act from the
bow of the outgoing steamer ST. Mary,
gave another exhibition yesterday
morning by making the plunge into the
cold waters of the river from the port
side of the steamer Tuela.
The last time he made his sensational
dive, Gerke explained to the authori-
ties that he left the st. Mary because
he had been deceived in regard to some
money that he was to receive, and
asked for the arrest of Bloom on the
charge of having extorted money from
him in consideration of securing him a
berth on the st. Mary. In the trial he

Gerke failed to make out much of a
case, and Bloom was released. after
Delng warned that to take money for
securing employment to sailors was A
clear violation of the law Gerke in
the meantime was taken in charge by
the police on complaint of Bloom.
Inc charges on which Gerke was ar
rested was obtaining money under

Bloom, who is sailor boarding house
keeper. advanced Gerke SIS on his SAL
airy, after he had signed shipping pa
pers. and that Gerke failed to carry out
his part of the contract with the can
tain of the st. Mary, jumping over
board from the ship as she was steam
ing down the river. Gerke was re-
leased on his own cognizance. to an
pear before the City Court to-day. g.
Tiscker stated after the mans second
jump that Gerke had shipped on the
steamer Tuela Tuesday, and after get
ting advances for his board he jumped

again.
Gerke could not be seen last night
When he first arrived in Savannah
Gerke said he lived in Wilmington. N
C., and said that he was looking for a
job as sailor. John Bloom secured
MIN a position on the st. Mary. and
according to his statement, advanced
the man SIS on his contract with the
captain of the st. Mary. 1t is proba-
Die that charges will also be preferred
against the man for breaking his con-
tract with the captain of the Tuela.

POWER POINTS ARE
ABOVE AUGUSTA.

The report of the photography di-
vision of the United States Geograph-
zeal Survey on the power points along
the Savannah river shows that there
are no such points this side of Augusta.
A number of suitable points were found
above that city for locating power
houses and building DAMS but none
below. Col. Quinn, who has carefully
inspected most of the river between
here and Augusta, confirms the report
in that there are no places this side
of Augusta where power could be de-
veloped. The river from Augusta to
the sea runs through a practically
level country and through sandy and
marshy soils. No benefit will accrue
to Savannah from the power points
above Augusta.

The establishment of a direct line
of steamers between Savannah and
Bremen does not depend entirely on
the deepening of the river channel,
but it means, in the event the line is
established regardless, more strenuous
efforts on the part of the North Ger
man Lloyd Company to build up
patronage that will ensure the opera
ton of the big steamers, and increase
the business through this port.
The important feature of the line,
if established. will be the carrying of
passengers. Really this may mean as
much, or more, for Savannah and adj
jacent territory as the commerce that
will be created. Statistics 60 to
show that the most desirable class of
immigrants into this country are the
Germans and Scandinavians. 1t is
also shown that 80 per cent. of these
locate within radius of 100 miles of

South their advantages would be far
greater, and their inherent principles
of industry and invention would be
OF vast benefit to the section in which
they locate.
Cheap Passenger Service.
For Southerners who desire to make
foreign tours the cost would be re-
duced, for transportation, at least %
per cent. The accommodation would
be equal to that out of New York. and
would be on the same class of steam
ers that now ply between the metrop-
oils and Bremen.
Concerted action on the part Of Sa-
vannah business men, and co-opera-
ton on the part of trades bodies in
other Southern cities that would be
benefited by such a line, means much
towards the establishment of the line
and the present sentiment will no
doubt eliminate in active steps being
taken to induce the North German
Lloyd Company to carry out the idea
il has long considered.

two white men, who were tried in the
City Court yesterday for larceny after
trust. 1t was charged that the de-
PENDANTS stole a small boat belonging
to the brig Daisy, while she was lying
in Tyhee roads.
Both men were tried by jury. and
were acquitted. The most interesting
part of the case developed in the de-
Tense of the parties. They admitted
taking the boat but declared that in
tent to steal was absent from their
minds. They told a story similar to
that told by Gerke, the German sea-
man who jumped from the deck of a
British bark in mid-stream rather than
go to sea, claiming that John Bloom
had induced them to join the ship
against their will.
He simply filled us full of liquor"
said one of the men on the stand and

pared to say. / found out that l was

United States Assistant District At
torney W. r. Leaken, who has been
given charge of the changhaiing cases
in this port, was an interesting auditor
to the proceedings. Just what bearing
the case has on those pending is not
known. There have been numerous
cases of this and similar character
brought to the attention of the district
attorney of late, and he is using every
effort to run the guilty parties to cover.
Bloom, it will be remembered, is the
same party who was arrested a few
days ago at the instance of Richart
Gerke, the charge against him being
that he received money for securing a
position for Gerke on a ship in port. No
charges have been preferred against
him for his alleged crookedness in plac-
ing the men on the brig while in a
drunken condition, but it is more than
likely that some proceedings will result,
as the captain of the bark is looking
to Bloom for money which he ad-
vanced to the two men who embarked
in the boat as the ship was about to
leave this port.

ANXIOUS PENSIONERS
BESIEGE JUDGE MALPIN DAILY
WITH MANY inquiries
ABOUT THEIR APPLICATIONS.
LETTER OF INQUIRY DIRECTED
TO COMMISSIONER LINDSAY.

IL Is Expected That News Will BE
Received This Wcek-NOt n Day
Has Passed Since Advent of Oc-
tOber That Applicants Have Not
Paid Visits to Court of Ordinary.
Judge McAIpin Wants to Know
What Is the Occasion for the De-
Iay-Win Probably he No Apprc-
ciable Change in ChHtham's Al
IOwance.
Judge McAlpin has been besieged for
several days past with inquiries rela-
tive to the pensions allowed by Com
missioner of Pensions Lindsay of At
lanta. Some time ago he forwarded
TO the commissioner nineteen applica
tons for pensions, made by INDECENT
Confederate veterans and widows. 1t
rests with the commissions whether
these pensions shall be allowed
Last night Judge McAlpin directed
a letter to Commissioner Lindsay, in
quiring what disposition had been made
of these applca tons, telling him that
he had been pressed with inquiries,
and was anxious to know the status
of affairs. 1t was expected that the
pensions would be allowed some time
early in October. This information was
vouchsafed by the Ordinary to the APP
plicants and since the advent of Octo-
Der not day has passed that some ap-
plicant has not called on mission of
inquiry.
No Material Difference.
Upon the action of the commissioner
will depend the showing made by
Chatham county on the pension rolls.
The county has enjoyed an enviable
reputation since the passage of the
pension laws. In comparison to it's
size. it has drawn a smaller amount.
by far, than any other country in the
state. This status will not be mate
rally disturbed by the report of the
commissioner. even if he approves ev-
cry new application made, as it is
probable he will. The relative stand
ing of Chatham county with the other
counties in the state is, however, a
matter of interest.
The number of new applications this
year is somewhat in excess of that of
last year. during the year quite a
number of pensioners have died, how
ever, and it is not thought that the
increased number of applications will
result in any appreciate change in the
amount drawn from the states ex-
chequer for the support of the needy
survivors of the fray and the widows
of those who. have gone before.
News Soon Forthcoming.
Judge McAlpin expects to hear from
Commissioner Lindsay any day now. AS
soon as tins information is received
it will be given publicity, so that those
who are DESTROYS of information rela-
tive to their applications may secure
it through the columns of the Morn
ing News as readily as in the office
of the Ordinary.
1t is probable that all of the appli-
cations will be allowed as the Ordi-
nary took the precaution to see that
every one was made out in due FORM
and within the purview of the statute
The interest is none the less keen, as
it is a matter of no small moment to
all the applicants whether their APP
plications are denied or allowed. The
pensions are not payable until next
February. How interesting a matter
it is to the applicants is evidenced
by the unusual interest which they
evince in the decision of the commits
sioner.
