SAVANNAH. GA., January 8, 1887
REPORT ON THE PENITENTI
ARY.
Continued from last week.
Complaint was made by several
that waler was bailed «p
aad put in barrels, and in many
eases allowed to stand anti! it be*
came stagnant, so tainting the
atmosphere ai to be very offensive
and injurious to those working in
the minee. Upon investigation the
committee found the camplaint to
be well grounded, and that the
condition of the atmoephere in eaid
mines, produeed by *uch barrels of
water Inapt in small exeavations,
was, in feet, unhealthy; and they
recommend that tho proper author
ities look into the matter, and take
such steps as may bo noceasary for
its prevention. The boeemittee call
tbo attention of tho Governor to
John Cheathum, convicted of mur
der, and serving a life-sentence,
bearing date from May, 1881, sent
from the county of Gwinnett. From
the investigation the committee has
made, they agree that his is n
proper case for the exercise of
clemency, and should the Gover
nor, after investigating the facta in
the case, see fit to pardon, it would
meet with the entire approval of
this committee.
Wo also call the attention of the
Executive to Joseph Moncrief, who
was convicted of involuntary man
slaughter in June 1876, from the
cc unty of Floyd, and who is serving
a fifteen years’ sentence. We re
spectfully request the Governor to
examine into the merits of this case
should he deem it deserving of
Executive clemency and pardon
him, his action would receive the
full approbation of tho committee.
I'iie committee deem it not improp
er to state here that both of the last
mentioned persona wore imprisoned
when very young, aad by those
having them in charge, the commit
tee is informed that their conduct
has always been extremely
good. The lessees and officers
b iving them in charge are unani
mous in pronouncing them as de
serving Executive clemency.
Jones, alias Sorrell (colored), one
of the leaders in the mutiny or strike
at the coke ovens several months
age, is now confined in the hospital
suffering with a broken arn, which
accident he met with but a few
days before the arrival of the com
mittee at the camp. He claimed
that hie arm was broken by Kill
pat rick and others with a handcuff,
and told a pitiful tale of the manner
in which he had been treated. The
committee found it difficult to
arrive at the truth of the matter
and learn exactly how his
erm had been broken, there being
eeveral convicts whose positiya.
statements corroborated that of
Jones himself, and others who said
bis arm had been broked by a blow
with a piece of piping received st
the hands of another convict named
Brooks. This latter theory was
♦■stained by Killpatrick and a
number of others. The committee,
however, are of the opinion that in
either event Jones is to blame; that
if hie arm was broken, as be claims,
tv rl<a handcuff, he brought it on
himself by resisting the authorities,
•nd if done with a piece of p iping
in the hands of Brooks, it was to
ward off an assault made by him on
Brooke.— Contioaed next week.
Mayor Hkweitt, of New York
. stated in a reoer.t message that
■ ,Bora i breathing spaces are re
quired in the densely populated
portions of upou which
the New York Tribune remarks that
’‘what we need in the way of parks
are a large number of pretty little
open places all through the city
where the people cars go after their
hard day’s work, and where their
children can play at will.” Our
city seems to be ahead of New
York in the way of “pretty little”
parks that is old Savannah is, but
we fear the New Savannah is likely
to become like old New York. Let
us have ‘pretty little parks’ every
where always for the benefit of the
old and young rich and poor*
KING WILLIAM AND THE
ARMY.
Emperor William celebrated the
eightieth anniveisary of his en
trance into the Prussian army on
January first, by receiving all his
commanding generals, headed by
Crown Prince Frederick William.
The Crown Prince addressed the
Emperor as follows:
“The army celebrates with your
majesty the day upon which, eighty
vears ago, you entered the army.
On several occasions we have b en
fu 'tniiHte in coming before our chief
in war to thank him for leading us
through severe struggles to glori
ous victories. To dav, however,
your Majesty can look upon six
teen years which have been richly
blessed by peace —years above al),
dedicated to the undisturbed devel
opment and strengthening of an em
pire, which was only established
after long waiting and struggling.
This work of peace succeeded be
cause your Majesty’s competent
and active leadership raised the
capability of the army to that state
of perfection of which every Ger
man soldier is justly proud. The
Prussian principle that bo differ
ence exists between the people and
the army, because both are ready
to defend their country, has by
your Majesty’s care, became the
property of the whole Gm men na
tion. In this natural capabiiiiy lies
our greatest security for the main
teuance of peace. “May I then,
again, tell your Majesty that our
strong aud united nation, in grateful
lovo aad faithfulness, always ree
fer sacrifices, trusts in its emperor
and leader in war, looks with joyful
coufi lence upon him hn the p«
server of peace, and cherishes the
wish that God’s blessing in fulnesp
may dwell upon him ”
The emperor replied complimen
ting the army highly for the suc
cesses of Germany, He embraced
(he Crown Prince, and General
Von Moltketo whom he spoke earn
estly. The city of Berlin whs
gaily decked with flags and thi
people wild with enthusiasm. Th
city was brilliantly illuminated at
night and a grand military banquet
held in honor of the event.
On Chrismae-Eve nigh? about 9
o’clock Deputy Marehal Alonzo
Guyton was called upou by one of
the merchants to arrest one William
Goods, Jr., a colored youth, who
had been causing and using obsi ne
language. The boy resisted and
refuted to be arrested. At tine
point Goods pulled away from
Guyton and snapped his pistol in
his face, says Guyton, and then
Guyron shot him in the stomach.
The Deputy Marshal claims ihat he
had to shoot G>ods in self-defence
for he pulled his pistol ou him. The
wounded man’s glory does not agree
with Guyton. On Christmas morn
ing Guyton surrendered himself and
was placed under bond for bis
appearance at court, and was tut
pended from office pending a bear
i g which will take place on
Wednesday next before the Board
of County Commisaioners who are
ex-officio J. P.’s as a court of
inquiry. Dr. Clark extracted the
ball on Wednesday and reports
Goods doing Well and feels satisfied
that he will recover.—Darien Tim

lished at Atlanta, has been re
ceived in the sanctum of the Tbi
bunx this week and to any one who
has ever seen that popular MagH
zine it is needless for us to say that
it is most welcome. The thoughts
for tbs month of January is full of
wholesome advice to farmers who
can but profit by its perusal. While
the Cultivator is devoted princi
pally to agriculture it glistens with
miscellaneous articles beie aud
there that^makes it a most interest
ing and valuable visitor in every
household. Tue Cultivator speak-
ing of colored journals has this to
say for as:
‘‘The Savannah, Ga., Tribune
exhorts tho colored people to come
up promptly and pay their poll tax
as it goes into the public school
fund and helps on the education of
both colored and white children’
The editor also joins heartily in the
war against immoral, incompetent
and dishonest teachers. They cod
only corrupt the youth of tho land
and fill it with immoral and dishon
est citizens. The able manager of
the Tribune, J. H* Deveaux, is
Grand Secretary of tbo Grand
Lodge of Colored Masons end Lien
tenant Col. of the First Battailion
of Colored Volunteers in Savannah
Such men are an honor and bless
ing to their race, and their influence
is generally felt wherever they are
known.”

Father.
O Cattle Park, O Cattle Park,
Thv name bring. recollections sweet,
When o’er thy fields with flippant feet,
I skipped and played ’til time to sleep,
And rest, to dream of thee.
Thy moss draped oaks and orchard trees.
That stoop and rise with each sniffing breexe
The jesamine. the honeysuckle -all these
Hang as a picture before me*
O Cattle l ark, O Cattle Park,
Thy name refreshing memories bring
Fresh as thy mineral water spring
Out of which the robins drink and sing
From early morn ’til dark.
Thy winding paths to the fields away.
I remember them well as if to-day,
There, Marie, Jim, and Ed w mid play.
Each as happy as a lark.
O Cattle Park. O Cattle Park.
Before whose front the river flows,
Upon whose bosom the fisher goes
Never bending an oar if the wind blows,
But sails along in joyful glee.
The old oyster house tottering with age,
Tho bathhouse a picture for history’s page.
Tho UssiW'Oetiie who has sailed against tho
water's rags.
In vision pa>s before me*
O Cattle Park, O Cattle Park,
No place on sarth so swee* and tender,
No tongue, no song, no pen can render,
Lavished upon thee her beet store,
O Cattle Park, Sweet Cattle Park,
Let me breathe thy porfnmed air once more
That floats aroued the old home door,
Let me go and die there rich or poor,
Contented I would ask no more.
