LEGGETTS 1)00?!\E.\IiIXG
A FINAL. APPEAL TO THE GOV
ERNOR, IN HIS BEHALF.
Insanity the Ground Upon Which a
Commutation of the Death Sentence
Asked-Lawyer Clifton to Lay the
Case Before the Governor To-Morrow
- Judge Hines’ Letter.
A filial effort to save the life of ,Ta~ob
Leggett, the negro coudeauied to hang at
Kwdsvill* on Friday for the murder of
Lillie Grigdeii, will lie made to-morrow.
William Cliftou, Esq., the condemned mail’s
counsel. left for Atlanta last night, and will
go Vie foie the Governor with an appeal for
a commutation of the death sentence to im
prisonment for life.
Mr. Clifton will place in the Gov
ernor’s Viands the. sworn testimony
of a number of Tattnall county
citizens who know ficggoU and his condi
tion just before he committed the murder,
showing that Vie was irresponsible for his
acts.
TO PROVE LEOGITT INSANE.
Aceotnpanving these sworn statements,
and based upon them, Mr. Clifton will
submit the opinion of prominent Sn van nidi
physicians that the condemned man could
lif t have been in his l ight mind, starving
himself as he did for nearly a week
and wandering through the fields following
the girl, whom lie afterward murdered, day
after day. and pleading with her and
begging her on hfls knees to return to him
after she had refused to Live with him any
longer.
T’iie principal ground upon which Mr.
Clifton will urge a commutation of Ihe
death sentence is insanity. No plea of this
nature was made at the trial because the
case was not fully investigated. Mr. Clifton
undertook ihe negro's defense at the request
of Judge Hines, who presided at the Tatt
nall court. Leggett was charged with mur
der and pleaded guilty.
PLEADED FOR MERCY.
Tiie only plea that was interposed in liis
behalf was for mercy. The evidence was
strong against him and the jury found him
guilty. The death penalty was imposed,
and but for Mr. Clifton's efforts, which
secured for him a reprieve, Leggett would
have been hanged a month ago.
The pajiers which Mr. Cliftou will submit
to tlie Governor are voluminous and will
require some time to go over. Besides the
evidence taken during the trial, the state
ments iu regard to
sanity and the medical opinions,
they indude a lengthy jietition with up
wards of 100 signatures, asking that the con
demned man’s sentence be commuted.
JUDGE HINES' LETTER.
Jiidge Hinas stated thet ho would write
personally to the Governor, and would ex
plain the grounds upon which he indorses
the petition.
There are various speculations as to the
result of the efforts that are being made in
Leggett's behalf. The general impression is
that the Governor will refuse to interfere
and that the condemned man will hang oia
Friday, the day following the expiration or
his reprieve.
FREAKS OF THE WEATHER.
Mercury’s Sudden Tumble Not Looked
For by the Signal Service Men.
The unexpected drop in the thermometer
yesterday was graciously received by those
who had suffered from tne intense heat of
the previous day. On Friday mercury
soared around 97° and 98°, and the mean
temperature was 84'. The highest point
that was reached yesterday was 82°, and the
mean was only 72°. At times the reading
was as low as 68”. The cause was the move
ment of the high barometer area that
formed in the New England States.
The rule regarding the movement of ba
rometric centers is that tiie high area i-e
--cedes before the advance of the low, and
signal service officers expected the high area
in New England to move out into the
ocean and the low area in the Gulf to ex
tend northeasterly, but thero are oxceji
♦ions to that rule, and this was one of them.
The high area filled in the low, coming
down this way, and causing rains and
strong northeast winds all along the coast.
In North Carolina the wind in some
places reached a velocity of thirty-eight
miles an hour and several stations reported
thirty-five miles an hour. The cool weather
has not penetrated the interior farther than
Atlanta, but the midnight report was that
it was clearing off in the east and clouding
up in the west. One of the freaks of this
movement is that although rain fell anil the
temperature began to fall in Savannah at
an early hour yesterday morning, the ef
fects were not" felt iu Jacksonville- until
after midday, when a hard rain began.
There were rains all along this part of the
coast, but no storms were reported from
any point. The World's big balloon did not
ascend Recording to the first programme,
but the ascension was expected to take place
yesterday, and the observers at the signal
station received orders to continue their
hourly observations for another day.

VETERANS TO ORGANIZE.
A Confederate Veterans’ Association
Talked of in Savannah.
A movement is on foot to organize a Con
federate Veterans’ Association in Savannah.
Tiie plan of the organization has not yet
been matured and the matter has only been
discussed in aa informal way. There is a
large munlier of Confederate veterans in the
city to whom an organization of this kind
would prove very valuable. Its purpose, if
the association is organized as those who
have the matter under consideration con
template. will be to li mate and bring together
those who fought together, and m case of
death to pay a proper tribute of respect, to
their memory. In a measure the organiza
tion would be similar to that of the Grand
Army of the Republic. Members of the R.
E. Leo Camp at Richmond, Va., have been
w ritten to for information in regard to its
organization with a view to starting the
movement at an early dav.
CALLED ONCE TOO OFTEN.
A President Street Man Stabs a
Visitor at His House.
J. D. Rich was arrested by Officer Neve
last night for cutting C. A. Lopez. Ricli
lives on President street, between Price and
Houston, in a house owned by his mother-in
law. He rented a portion of the house to a
Mrs. Alice Patrick, whose husband is not at
present in the city. Lopez has 1 wen calling
more frequently on Mrs. Patrick than Rich
thought proper, and he forbade his coming
to the house. I<opez made an
other visit last night, and
Rich, who had been thinking,
was very much angered. He went into the
room where Lopez was and began cursing
and abusing him, and finally drew a knife
and cut him in the breast and on the hand.
Lopez went to the office of Dr. Stone and
had las wounds dressed. An examination
showed that they were not dangerous.
Rich was arrested and locked ud for a hear
ing to-morrow.
CONDITION OF THE COTTON.
Factors’ Advices in Regard to the Crop
—Estimates of Acreage.
The reports received by Savannah factors
concerning the cotton crop indicate that at
present it is in a most favorable condition.
It was held back somewhat by the late
spring, and in some sections it was begin
ning to suffer from drought, but the recent
rains have done a great deal of good and
have advanced the crop greatly. The stand
is excellent, and if the weather and worms
do not injure it liefore it, is gathered it will
be an excellent yield. There is a difference
of opinion as to the acreage. By some factors
it is thought that it will not be greater than
last year. Unquestionably it has been in
creased in sopie sections, but in others it has
fallen off etlough to bring the aggregate
back to what it was in 1886-87. On the
other hand it is estimated that there will i*j
an increase of about 2 1-2 per cent.; that the
falling off his been by no means as great as
the increase, and that if nothing damages
the crop to any great extent the yield will
be much larger than last year.
HALF HOLIDAYS GRANTED.
The Movement Inaugurated by the
Wholesale Houses.
“Closed until 7 o’clock Monday morning,”
was the sign on most, of the wholesale houses
yesterday after 2 o’eiock. The Saturday
half holiday movement went into effect, and
at 2 o’clock there was a general closing up.
Bay street towards night was as deserted as
it is on Sunday.
It was a gala day for the clerks and they
drew from it all the enjoyment that it con
tained. each in his own way indulging in
that winch struck his fancy most. The
retail business centres of the city, however,
wore as busy as ever. The inauguration of
the movement demonstrated to the employ
ers that they lost nothing by closing,
for there were but few buyers on tho streets,
and even those were not at all discomfited
by the closing when they found what the
reason was. The employers who arc op
l>osed to the movement may hold out
against it, but public sentiment is with the
clerks and they will eventually succumb,
THE CIVIL COURTS.
Suit for the Accounting of Funds Be
gun in the United States Court.
In tho United States Court the case of
Alexander R. Crombie against Gen. Henry
R. Jackson, trustee, was begun yesterday.
The suit is for an accounting of a portion of
the estate of William Scott, who died prior
to the war, Gen. Jackson having held tiie
bonds as trustee. Mr. George Anderson in
vested the funds in Confederate bonds, and
of course the investment proved a total loss.
Gen. Jackson recovered from Mr. Anderson,
and, as trustee, paid about *20,000 to the
widow of Scott, and the children are now
bringing suit on the ground that their
mother was entitled to only a life interest in
the estate.
Geif. Jackson defended on the ground that
he had beer deceived, and ho asked to be re
lieved from paying the sum twice. The
heirs are none of them residents of this
country. The arguments were beard and
Judge Speer reserved his decision.
The Court of Ordinary.
The Court of Ordinary during last week
disposed of a numlier of important cases.
Yesterday the matter of the administration
on the estate of John Moruingstar was
heard. After the death of his widow, Celia
Morningstar transferred her right as ad
ministratrix to Daniel D. Waithour, mid
temporary letters were granted to him. The
brother of the deceased is now contesting t he
right of Celia Moruingstar, on the ground
that although she lived with the deceased
for a number of years ns his wife, she was
never legally married to him. The court
held that she was the lawful wife of tho de
ceas'd, and is entitled to administer on his
estate. The case will be carried to the Su
perior Court.

Manager of tho Telephone Exchange here,

was three hours behind time. A freight
jumped the track at Toomsboro. and the

back on the rails. The accident was not
serious.
Next Thursday will be the Savannah

The sanitary inspectors completed yester
day the distribution in their districts of cir
cular copies of the ordinance in regard to
the collection of garbage. A printed copy
of the ordinance has been placed in every
house in the city, so that there need be no
plea of ignorance on the part of those who
may be arraigned for violating its provis
ions.
The paving of Bav street between the
Ogeeehee canal and Farm street with gray
waeke stone has just been completed. The
roadway has heretofore been covered with
plank, and the change to gray wacke, afford
ing a solid pavement through to the canal
bridge, is an improvement the necessity of
which the Street and Lane Committee has
recognized for some time, but which until
now it has been unable to secure.
The Savannah Cadets will hold their an
nual target shoot at Greenwich Park to
morrow afternoon. The company will go

dividual contests the company will be exer
cised in skirmish and platoon firing.
The terms of the race between the yachts
Jennie 8. and the Zinga have not yet been
settled, but it is more than probable that a
race will take place. Mr. Demere, owner
of the Jennie S., wishes to have a race to
windward, but the Zinga wants the course
to be from Turner’s Rock around the black
buoy and back to Bilbo Point. To this Mr.
Demere will probably consent after ho re
ceives his new mast, and there is not much
likelihood of the race being sailed until that
time.
THROUGH TO BIRMINGHAM.
Contractors Ready to Begin Work on
the Macon Short Line.
Tho contract between the United States
Construction Company and Carpenter,
Grant, Mundy & Cos., railway contractors,
to build the Savannah, Dublin and Western
Short Line railroad between Savannah and

•just completed a contract on the Cumber
land Valley branch of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad in Kentucky, and also

He looks upon Georgia as an excellent field
for railroad construction, and upon the Sa
vannah, Dublin and Western one of the
most feasible lines he has ever undertaken
to build.
The work will be begun to-morrow with u
few hands, owing to a delay of the engineers
in locating the route. Mr. Pou, who form
erly had charge of the work, but who is now
engaged on the Alabama Midland, has been
telegraphed for and is exjieeted here to
morrow morning. In the meantime the
contractors will get everything in readiness

first fifty miles upon which work will begin
this week will, according to tho contract,
lie completed, ready for trains in October,
and the construction company expects to

PELICANS DOUBLE MEMPHIS.
The Tennesseean’3 Loose Fielding
Lose Them a Game.
New Orleans, June 11.—Smith's deliv
ery was wild to-day, but the Memphis
players gave him such poor support that he
can hardly be blamed for losing the game.
The locals went in with more dash and life,
and played a fine game, hitting hard, field
ing brilliantly pud taking desperate chances.
Towards the end of the game Memphis
struck a batting; streak. Doyle and An
drews both knocked the ball over the fence
and made long Lite,. Cartwright hit the
ball hard, while “Home Run ’ Cainpeau
struck out most of the time. Baker was
hurt in the first inning and Crotty wan sub
stituted. Jack Brennen has been released
and will probably sign with Mempki*. The
score by innings was:

You are feeling depressed, your appetite
is poor, you are bothered with headache,
you are fidgety, nervous and generally out
of sorts, and want, to hrare up. Brace up,
but not with stimulants, spring medicines or
bitters, which have for their basis very
cheap, br.cf whisky, and which stimulate you
for an hour, and then leave you ill worse
condition than before. What you want is
an alterative that will purify your blood,
start healthy action of liver and kidneys,
restore your vitality, and give renewed
health and strength. Such a medicine you
will find in Electric Bitters, and only 50
cents a bottle, at Lippman & Bros.’ Drug
Store.

New Holland Springs.
The famous watering place opened on
June Ist, 1887, for the reception ol’ guests.
To those who have for years visited New
Holland nothing need bo said; they know
it is one of the most inviting spots iu which
to spend the heated summer.
To those who have never enjoyed its
beauties, it may not be amiss to say that few
places compare with it, and uone surpass it,
as a place for rest, recreation, study, or to
woo t>ack lost color to faded cheeks", and to
restore health aud strength to jaded and
tired systems.
The magnificent climate, the cool nights,
the altitude above the sea level (3,000 feet),
the wealth of shade and mineral waters, all
combine to make it the great Southern sani
tarium to which thousands came every year
to renew wasted energy, aud to enjoy the
pleasures and amusements of this delightful
resort.

all of these goods regardless of
cost and value during the next

nity to buy first-class goods at your own
