10 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. THE FORDS IN ‘’HOME.” Their Second Performance to Be Oiven This Week. The Fords held their first rehoarsal last night of T. W. Robertson’s comedy “Home,” which they will produce on Thursday and Friday evenings. Its signal success in The Marble Heart, and the flattering enconiums which it received has encouraged the Asso ciation in its efforts to give the amusement public first-class entertainments. The play which it will produce this week has just had a very successful run at Wallack’s Theatre in New York, and is one of the brightest comedies on the stage. The cast by the Fords is as follows: Alfred Dorrison Lawrence Hanley Captain Monti-affe T. F. McCabe Mr Dorrison Larry Doyle Bertie Thompson .Toe 1- Doyle John William McLeod Mrs. Pincbback Miss Clara Baker Lucy Miss Maude White Dora Tbornhought Miss Mollie Maeder In the third act of the act Miss White will introduce a song During its run in New York “Alfred Dorrison” was played by Lester Walloek, “Mr. Dorrison” by John Gilbert, and Mrs. Pinchbeck bv Miss Annie Robe. Preceding the comedy Mr. Hanley and Mr. McCabe will give by special request the famous quarrel scene from Julius Cursor, Mr. Ilanie y as Cassius, and Mr. McCabe us Brutus. Both played these parts with Rohm Dowming. alia tho presentation of the scene will be one of the features of the evening. Bonavonture’s Artesian Well. Mr. W. li. Fennell, keejier of IJouaveu tnre i ejnrtory, reports the completion of the artesian well, which he lias recently sunk there The well is 2 inches in diameter.nud Is GUI feat dc*n. and flowing 20 fast aimve the surface The flow is more than enough tor the puiyioses of the c"!iietery. Mr. Fen nell bua boon very energetic in his efforts to ws-iire the well. He desires a contribution frorc’.lie public for the purpose of further carrying out the work. Lecture Upon tho Asiatics. Mr. Gabrielian, a native of Asia Minor, who is in this country taking a theological course, will lecture upon his (leople, their customs, mi-Mous among them, etc., at the First Prc-I lyterinu church to-night.

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. The Telephone Exchange. Mr. W. L. Bishop, recently appointed Manager of tho Telephone Exchange here, has assumed charge. Mr. Bawsell, acting manager, will leave this week for Rome to lake charge of the exchange there. Mr. Bishop is a munagor of wide experience. He has Iks'ii with the company since it was or ganized, and for the lasi, six years lias hod tiie management of a number of tho princi pal exchanges in England. He recently re turned to this country and was ordered at once to Savannah. Mr. Bishop and his family were passengers on the Celtic when she collided with the Brittanio, and he gives a very graphic description of tin' scenes on Imam botli vessels after the collision. Mr. Bishop has taken r house at Montgomery and will reside there for the present. Ilfs resident will tie connected with the Tele phone Exchange. Insurance Reports Called For. Gov.

Society will give its annua! picnic for the benefit of the orphan bo vs at Washington, at Mont gomery next Thursday. A sailboat was capsized in the river oppo site the city yesterday and its occupants, a number of negroes, were precipitated into the water. They were ail rescued, however, but rather dampened in appearance. There were 35 deaths in the city last week according to the Health Officer’s report—l 4 of white lieoplc and 21 of colored. There were 20 deaths of children under 5 years of age. The annual ratio per l.OOOfor the week was 27.2 for whites and 57.8 for colored. The_ Telephone Exchange has added to its lists No. 279. M. S.

Bishop, manager Telephone Exchange, resi dence Montgomery. The Atlanta train that should have ar rived here at 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon was three hours behind time. A freight jumped the track at Toomsboro. and the passenger was delayed until it could be got back on the rails. The accident was not serious. Next Thursday will be the Savannah Yacht Club’s Ladies Day. Yachts of the first and second class will race from the Club House to a stake boat at tho mouth of Herb river and back and repeat. The prizes will be a silver cup for each class. In the evening the club grounds wifi be illuminated and a hop will be given in the Club House, 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 out on the 2:50 o’clock car from West Broad street. Prizes will be given to the best shots in three classes of uniformed men. A prize will also lie contended for by ununiformed pay and honorary members. After the in 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 Macon, was signed yesterday, and the con tractors will begin work to-morrow.

His firm has •just completed a contract on the Cumber land Valley branch of the Louisville and Nashville railroad in Kentucky, and also built eighty-seven miles of the Georgia Pacific railroad tn Alubama and Mississippi. 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 to push the work as scion as the route is fully located. Thev have advertised for 1,000 hands and the letting of subcontracts for ties, trestles, etc.. for the first fifty miles. The grading will be pushed along the entire line. Mr. Carpenter says that he will work twenty-five hands to every mile of road. He expects to bring a large force of lalior ere, in addition to those which will lie em ployed along the line, from other contracts upon which he is now engaged. Virginia, North Carolina and Kentucky, he says, fur nish the host labor of any States ’in the South, so far as his experience goes. The 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 have the road iu operation between here and Macon by Feb. 1. Engineers are at work on the Americas branch, starting from Dublin, and upon the line between Macon and LaGrange and l<u- Grange and Birmingham. GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS.

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.

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.
