Hall Superior Court.
There have been very few cases before the
Court of any public interest. The trial of T.
F. Elrod for forgery attracted the most atten
tion. He was charged with forging the names
of J. N. Elrod and W. P. AVhelchel, to a note
for 575, and uttering it at the bank of Banks
&Bro., in this city, some time last spring,
the evidence was almost solely circumstan
tial, the weak point being as to identity. The
jury, after hanging all night, returned a ver
dict of not guilty. Cols. Dorsey and Estes
wore counsel for defense; Mr. Solicitor Mit
chell for the State.
The case of the State va. Eckford and Friz
zell, charged with cruelty to animals, was sig
nificant, as being the the first indictment in
our county under the statute in relation to
this offense. These gentlemen passed
through our city last summer on a pleasure
trip, and hired a horse and buggy
from R. L. Johnson, livery and hotel
man, to go to Porter Springs and back. On
their return the horse had the thumps, and
showed signs of fatigue. Mr. Johnson sued
out a warrant for cruelty to animals, and the
case was tried at this Court. The State failed
to show that the horse was cruelly treated, the
Judge said no case had been made out against
the defendants, and thejury promptly returned
not guilty. We understand these young men
are gentlemen of high character in Atlanta,
and it is to be revetted that, without any
criminality on their part, they should have
been annoyed by this proceeding.
The Court will probably adjouru to-day.
John Keely.
This great king of the retail dry goods trade
in Georgia occupies a portion of our space to
day, and we call especial Attention to what he
says. Our city as well as country subscribers
will find his advertisement interesting reading
matter, as illustrating the contents of a first
class dry goods store, and the enterprise of one
of the livest and most successful merchants in
the South. On Monday -last we visited this
grand emporium, and counted 142 customers
looking at and purchasing goods ; and on every
fine day a like number crowds the establish
ment. There are several reasons why John
Keely is a success; lie is one of tho cleverest,
gentlemen that ever measured a yard of silk ;
he asks exorbitant prices for nothing, but sells
at reasonable profits; he keeps goods,
ami everyrmng Glut unu tii, .. *j ho hires
none but gentlemen for clerks ; evffiN ody who
goes into liis store is promptly and courteously
waited upon, and those who do not buy aro as
cordially treated as those who do : and last,
but not least, lie advertises most liberally, and
keeps his business before the people.
Grand Jury.
We would call attention to the Grand Jury
Presentments published iu this issue. It will
be seen that the county officers hav been faith
ful to their duties, and that their books are
properly kept. We heartily concur with tho
Grand Jury’s opinion of our county officers.
We have frequent intercourse with them and
always find them prompt and correct in the
transaction of their business. The Grand
Jury appreciates the importance of good roads,
and the necessity of sign boards at the forks.
In this connection we would say that we
deem it highly necessary that citizens should
read tho presentments of their Grand Juries,
but with an eye to economy, some counties
do not publish their presentments. We de
sire to afford our readers, especially in those
counties whose legal advertising we do, these
important documents, and we propose to pub
lish them free for those six counties, if they
will furnish ns copies.
Gainesville’s Industries.
We propose next week to write up some of
the manufacturing interests of our growing
little city, and to place her industries squarely
before our readers. It is a fact that we have
one of the largest shoe manufactories in the
State, and that it is now crowded to the girth
with orders. Messrs. J. F. Lilly & Son are
conducting a most successful business, and
their work is gaining popularity so wide
spread that they are considering the ways and
means to increase their capacity to two thou
sand pairs per day. Their work is far supe
rior to the Eastern made shoes, and as they
guarantee every shoo turned out, their enter
prise can only be limited by Ai
their card in another place.

The Findley and Gaston Habeas Corpus
Case.
[From the Dahlonega Signal and Advertiser.]
In consequence of the ruling of Judge Les
ter, of the Blue Ridge Circuit, at the Septem
ber term of the Superior Court of the county
of Lumpkin, this case is attracting consider
able attention. A brief history of the case
may not be uninteresting.
On the 9th day of August, 1876, Findley
and GastoD, as United States marshals, with
a force of men, made a raid on the illicit dis
tillers iu the upper part of this county. They
had captured half a dozen men and destroyed
as maay stills, when their guide and inform
ant proposed to lead them to the distillery
run by Mr. Thomas, in a dark little cove on
the other side of the Blue Ridge mountains.
In their round-about way to get there, they
met Mr. Thomas on one of the spurs of the
mountain. It seems that Mr. Thomas had
“snuffed the battle from afar,” and consider -
ing “discretion the better part of valor,” had
torn down his still and was trying to hide
with it. His sister had the cap of the still
tied up in some of her garments, and Thomas,
with his brother, had the still itself swung on
a pole, and were all rapidly “fleeing the
wrath to come, when the collision occurred
between the still-house party and the deputy
marshals. The still was abandoned, and the [
doubting Thomases, no longer doubting, fled
wildly down the mountain side. The mar
shals gave pursuit, yelling “halt! halt!” and
tiring their pistols at the flying distillers,
i bourns soon lodged behind a protecting tree,
and, with hu old squirrel rifle, was drawing a
bead on Gaston at t> distance of forty or fifty
yards, when Findley, s^ ing the danger of his
comrade, executed a briliiauvflauk moveme' ***
and, with unerring aim, fired on Thomas- “ <ler
in time to save Gaston. Thomas t&K ijt i
hoisted a flag of truce. This occurred iu‘
August, and at the September term of the
Court, the Grand Jury found true bills against
the deputy marshals for assault with intent to
murder. Bench warrants were issued, and
Sheriff Satterfield arrested the parties, and
took bonds for their appearance at Lumpkin
Superior Court, April term, 1877, when their
bonds were forfeited. In the meantime
Judge Erskine had issued a writ of Habeas
Corpus directed to the Sheriff of the county,
demanding the prisoners and the record. The
Sheriff failed to take them up, and at the Sep
tember term of the Court, just passed, the
case came up before Judge Lester, on a mo
tion to transfer it to the United States Circuit
Court. It was argued by Col. H. P. Farrow
for Findley and Gaston, and the Solicitor
General, Thomas F. Greer, for the State.
Both arguments were considered exhaustive
and complete. The motion was overruled
and the prisoners remanded to jail. Before
the motion was made, the prisoners, being
each other’s sureties, had delivered themselves
to the Sheriff in open Court. _
Immediately after the opin™ of the Courf
was rendered, application was made by the
prisoners’ counsel for a writ corpus.
The writ has been granted, and served by a
special United States deputy marshal upon
the Sheriff, ordering him to be and appear
with the prisoners before the United States
Circuit Curt in Atlanta, on Monday, the 24th
inst.
There is scarcely a doubt but that the par
ties would have been acquitted in our State
Court, could a trial have been had. Mr.
Thomas, who is the main witness for the
State, cannot be got to the Court House in
time of Court. It is understood that he is
another blockade distillery, and that
warrants for his arrest are in the hands of the
deputy marshals. It is presumed that he
d°qs not desire to moot tl,-> United
States fovooo iii battle array.
Atlanta is now one of the very best grocery
and cotton markets in all the South. Her
wholesale grocers and cotton dealers have
ample facilities for large operations, and the
means of transportation that have built up
the city, enable them to deal most liberally
with their customers. The House of Messrs.
Langston & Crane, down on Alabama street,
is a most notable illustration of the truth of
our statement. As wholesale dealers in
standard supplies, they have a wide and hon
orable reputation; but it is as cotton commis
sion merchants that we would just now most
strongly commend them. They do not buy
or speculate iu the staple, and therefore their
country customers always feel assured of get
ting the highest prices, and are never appre
hensive of being victimized by the conjointure
of seller and buyer in one and the same per
son. Col. Crane is President of the Chamber
of commerce, and his opportunities for know
ing, at all times, the exact value of produce
and merchandise are complete. There is no
more substantial establishment in Atlanta,
and not one more honored for its commercial
character.
When you go to John Keely’s, on your next
trip to Atlanta, call for J. H. Cook, and he
will make you glad that you called. He is
one of keely’s salesmen, and has the good
sense, the courtesy and the politeness to make
his friends feel comfortable; aud what’s more
the good nature, the patience and the indus
try to show you everything you want to seel
in the shortest possible space of time, and ]
withoutostentation or borish self-importance.
He impresses you at once that he is there to
wait on Keely’s customers, and makes no pre
tention to proprietorship.

Washington, D. C., Sept. 24, 1877.
Not since the death of President Lin
coln has the National Capital been thrown
into such a fever of excitement as to-day;
not even during the height of the war
times, when Gen. Jubal Early stood, with
his Southern forces, within two miles of
the capital. All business was suspended,
and is still, for I write this while the fire

builacation, in A little before that
tilled ucational tor gre y isb sm °ke had
beevolutions, "s from the building ; but
no ate,, .wtr was paid to it, as it was
knofar tinners were at work upon the
roof * and the smoka was supposed to
come from their fire pots. The cry of fire
did not, at first, create much excitement;
but presently the flames burst out, and
then the danger aud extent of the fire was
appreciated at once. Exactly seven min
utes after the first alarm had been sound
ed, tlie first engine arrived ; and four
minutes after, the south portion of the
roof of the west hall, where the fire orig-
inated, fell in with a terrible crash.—
Whet the roof fell, two ladies and several
gentlemen were in that part of the hall,
and as they have not been seen or heard
of since, it is feared they were killed.—
After the falling of the roof, the fire spread
with extraordinary rapidity; a second gen
eral idarrn was sounded, and all the fire
engines in the City of Washington re
sponded. The wind was carrying the
flames across the street directly against
the building occupied by the firm of Louis
Bagger & Cos., patent Attorneys, - which is
located immediately opposite to the Pa
tent Office; but the building, and the val
uable records which it contains, was saved
by covering the roof with wet blankets,
and stationing two hand engines upon it,
by the aid of which the sparks and cin
ders which came flying across fronl the
burning Patent Office, were effectually
CXt-ingwiohoG
Meanwhile, tho fire gained headway
steadily. At twelve o’clock, the entire
west hall of the model room, an apartment
275 feet in length and 65 feet wide, was
one sheet of flame, fn this hall were
stored, carefully arranged in glass cases,
the models of all tho bridges, brushes,
brooms, butchering appliances, carpentry,
carriages and wagons, car-couplings, rail
road cars, excavators and ditching ma
chines, and models of all patents pertain
ing to hydraulic engineering, journals and
bearings, masonry, etc., which have been
patented in the United States for the past
thirty years. By this time thirteen fire
engines from Washington and Baltimore
were on duty, pouring streams of water
on the burniug building; yet the fire crept
steadily on, and by half past twelve the
great north hall was in a blaze. All of
the contents were destroyed, nothing but
the bare walls standing.
At this hour (5 p. m.) four engines have
arrived from Baltimore, and two from
Philadelphia. There is some hope of
saving the east and south halls. Fortu
nately, none of the draw or records of
the Office were destroys, and business
will progress as usual, without delay.
In my next I shall give you more, in
detail, than it is possible to do at this

Relief Without a Doctor.
Though we would by no means be under
stood as deprecating, but rather as recom
mending, professional aid in disease, there are
multitudes of instances when it is neither nec
essary or easy to obtain. A family provided
with a comprehensive household specific like
Hostetlers Stomach Bitters, is possessed of a
medicinal resource adequate to most emergen
cies in which medical advice would be other
wise needful. That sterling tonic and correc
tive invariably remedies, and is authoritatively
i recommended for debility, indigestion, liver
disorder, an irregular habit of body, urinary
j and uterine troubles, incipient rheumatism
and gout, and many other ailments of frequent
occurrence. It eradicates and prevents in
termittent and remittent levers, relieves men
! tal despondency, checks premature decay, and
invgorates the nervous and muscular tissues,
i Sleep, digestion and appetite are promoted by
j it, aud it is extremely useful in overcoming
the effects ot exhaustion and exposure.
GENERAL, PRESENTMENTS
Of tlie Grand Jnry, for the First Week
September Term, 1877, of Hall
County Superior Court.
To the Honorable George D. Rice, Judge pre
siding at said Court:
The Grand Jury respectfully present tiwf*
according to the instructions of your ib.,
we have acted upon all the indictments that
were handed to us, and have returned them,
with our finding, to the Court.
In accordance with the instructions of your
Honor, we have made as searching an exam
ination of the public offices and officials as the
time at our command would admit of, and
find as follows: *
Upon examination of the Ordinary’s office,

We find the public buildings generally in a
good condition, excepting that a few of the
window shutters around the Coart House need
adjusting, and, also, the lower trap-door to
the dungeon in the jail is broken off. We
recommend that the Ordinary have the same
attended to at once. We have thoroughly ex
amined the vault built since the last term of
the Court, and are well pleased with the same,
and think it reflects credit upon our efficient
Ordinary for the style in which it is executed.
We recommend that the Ordinary have the
public wells kept in good order.
We find, from the best information we could
gain, and from our own personal knowledge
of the same, that the public roads in our
county are in good condition, with the fol
lowing exceptions, viz.: A hole or shaft in
Shallow. Ford road, outside the city limits,
which we consider dangerous, and recommend
that the same be attended to at once; also,
a bridge across Yellow Creek, on the road
leading from Shallow Ford, on the Chattahoo
chee river, to Leather’s Ford, on the Chesta
tee river, the same being considered danger
ous, owing to its width, which is only nine
feet, and without railing.
We recommend that the Commissioners of
said road build a bridge sixteen feet wide,
with the proper railing on either side, and the
bridge properly dirted; and that the said
Commissioners draw on the Ordinary for the
amount of the cost of the material for the
construction of said bridge. We further find,
upon investigation, that several of the roads
in the county are without sufficient sign
boards, and recommend that the Commis
sioners of the same call upon the Ordinary
for the same, and post them at the proper
place.
Owing to the inclemency of the weather, we
failed to send a committee to visit the Pau
pers’ Home, but from the repoit of O. L. Buf
fington, the keeper, and Dr. J. S. Simmons,
attendant physician, we think the keeper is
discharging his duties properly.
We take pleasure in expressing our appre
ciation and respeot for his Honor, George D.
Rice, for the able manner in which he dis
charges his official duties, and particularly
for the impartial manner in which, he admin
isters justice; and thank him for his kindness
to our body.
We also tender our sincere thanks to our
able and efficient Solicitor General, A. L.
Mitchell, Esq., for the courtesy and counsel
extended to us in the discharge of our duties.
Wo would further tender our thanks to onr
Bailiff, R. B. Davis, for his kind attention to
our body.
We further tender our thanks to the editor
of The Gainesville Eagle for his liberality
in offering to publish our presentments gra

We also return our thanks to the editors of
The Eagle and the North Georgian for their
kindness in furnishing us with copies of their
