JURY EXEMPTIONS.
WHAT THE MILITIA HAVE TO SAY
ABOUT THIS MATTER
Soldiers Should Do Jury Duty, but the
State Should Support Them—The
Origin and Purpose of the Present
Law -An Old Law That May be En
forced.
The new bill introduced by Capt. Gordon,
at the instance of the grand jury, repealing
that part of tile military hill which exempts
fifteen members of each military company
from jury duty, is stirring up the soldier
boys considerably. A News reporter inter
viewed a number of the officers
of the Savannah organizations yes
today and found a wide diversity of
opinion on the subject They ail agree' on
one jhlint and that is the des.rability of de
creasing the exemption hst. They agree,
however, that it is hardly fail* to seek out
the military organizations for such an at
tack first. There are ten companies here,
and 150 men would he exempt if each com
pany' claimed its full list, but as a matter of
fact only some fifty men have claimed
this exemption. Hut they nisi claim this;
The great State of Georgia makes
no provision for her militia. They are sup
posed to reap sufficient honor ami glory to
repay thorn for all their arduous < lrillinjg
and the expenses onus*T each member in
the effort to give the State a militia worthy
Of her.
THE'OBIOIX OF THE LAW.
The old law exempted all the members of
the military com punier,. That was repealed,
and as no bill oould l>e passed giving them
any pecuniary ns-stance, the present law
was adopted, giving each cnrnfmny
the right to have fifteen nay memtore
on their roll ut from *Ti to "e) yearly, this
payment entitling the member to exemption
from jury dutv. Tin- money goes to the
companies, and is the only outside source of
revenue tliev have. They point to the fitate
of Florida that pays its militia while in en
campment. while on duty awl allows each
company sonic 8300 p<T year: their armories
are also paid for by the State. North and
Houth Carolina also provide generously for
their militia, sodoes Virginia. In fact, asthe
gentlemen interest cl claim. Georgia is the
only Stab.* that generously allows ita militia
to pay their own exjienses, and gracefully
accepts the honor of having the best militia
corps in the South.
“If,” say tlie members of the companies,
“they will pa-w a measure giving us pe
cuniary assistance to enable us to keep tip
the morale of the corps, that would suit us
os well, and even 1 letter than the present
law.”
WHY THE OUAND JURY ACTED.
“As to why the grand jury recommended
this move, it is hard to say, remarked an
other officer in reply to an inquiry regard
ing tliat jsfint. “But it may U* explained
from tins fact. For the petit jurors there
is a list of some 3,000 names to select from.
On the grand jury list there are only 300
names. Of course, with this small number
a person is apt to be drawn often, and
that probably suggested the reiieal of
this law to secure more grand jury
talesmen. But it seems to me if there
are 3,000 names on the other list, that the
jury commissioners could easily remove
this trouble by adding several hundred
names from the pot it list. There are plenty
ot good citizens on that who would make
good grand jurymen. ”
Uogarliug the justice of the cast*, another
gentleman connected with the First Volun
teer regiment of Georgia said: “This is u
one-sided busineas. For instance, when the
last law was enaebsl, the companies
in the larger citits bail special
bills passed exempting them as a l*>dy.
The Governor's Horse Guai*ds in Atlanta,
125 men, are all exempt by a sp(*:*inl bill.
The Atlanta Artillery, anew organization,
hardly a year old, have a bill up for their
exemption. Capt. Clark, of the Richmond
Huasars. has a bill nearly ready, exempting
his company. And so it is through the en
tire State.
THE Dt’TY OF THE STATE.
“It seems to nits the military companies
have a right to be supported by the State
The State uses them whenever and wherever
necessary, und the turbulent spirits are kept
in check by them. They are, in verity,
tko police of the State. Ot her States look
after their militia organizations with great
State pride, and donate annually large sums
to keep up the standard of their troops.
But Georgia. 1 regret to sav, shows a very
p<Kir State pride in this matter. Tlie militia
lean/ guat'l file and property in the State,
and are of immense value in this respect
alone, but the State, us uch, dixsnot recog
nizi* our just claims ni tins matter.’’
All admit the bad features of the
existing law, but as it give* them the only
help they now receive they very naturally
dislike to lose it. No stc|is have lieen taken
in the matter as yet. hut probably a meet
ing of the officers of the battalion will be
held soon to consider what action to take in
the prendfcss. Parties outside of military
circle* sav other exemption* should to*
repealed also. ‘•For," said one gentleman,
“Our jury trials ur' tog.lining to to a
farce. Good men are suumionisf, but gen
erally those most wanted—tlie level-headed,
clenr-mimied business men—always get off
on some exemption or technicality. The re
sult is the juries are at limes filled with in
competent men, and tlie whole system neo.l
lesuly tours tin disgrace of inefficiency,
when the trouble lies iu this exemption
business.
REMINDED OF AN OLD LAIV.
“You look up the list of those who
are exempt and publish it, and I’ll
warrant you'll astonish lots of people
at the immense number of those exempted.
Of course, the militia need the money their
exemptions bring them in, hut it scorns to
me the legislator* can devise a bettor plan
than tlie present one.”
Another remarked, speaking of the dead
laws now on the statute tasks: “Do you
know that Georgia hits a law that every
man between certain ages must perform
certain military duty?” Tho reporter ad
mitted lie wan not aware of it* exist
ence. “Well, it’s there, and one
of these days there will Iki
sonic fun. The Anti-Prohibitionists
threaten to take up tliat almost forgotten
law and compel its enforcement, the fines
going to the educational fund, in this way
they ex|-ct to secure a big sum for tlie
school system. Hut don’t give me away on
this. It’s on the quiet. There will to full
ahuud when they start the hall tolling.’’

HIS NAME WAS DENNIS,
i And Ee Will Explain to the Mayor
Where He Got It.
Shortly after 10 o'clock tart night pedes-
I trains and the residents in the neighborhood
: of Congress street lane, between Barnard
and Jefferson streets, were startled by the
sharp report of a iiistol, which teemed to
come from a room on the lane, upstairs
in the rear of Hermes & Robinson’s
photograph gallery. It attracted ipiite a
crowd to the lane, among them officer T. G.
Dunham, who inquired of an individual
! uunied John W. Hall who find the shot.
I Hull denied that the shot had U*on tired
| there mid went on to guy the officer in great
shnjie. greatlv to tho uniusemont of the
, crowd. Among other things, in reply to
the p.ilus-inar,' . query as to his name, lie said
it. was “Dennis.” Tho policeman retired amid
the laughter of the crowd, but it appears
did m t give up the scent. He went down
into the Market basement and awaited
patiently for the two worthies to come
down out of tho gallery, which they did
shortly afterward, when the officer siipl>ed
up to them and informed them that they
were under arret.
They proceed'd quietly enough till they
reached York strict. At the comer Hall
turned to tlv* officer and remarked: “1
made a fool of myself, and now I'll
have to pay for it, I suppose. r A few mo
ments later he suddenly twisted himself
1 *>se from the officer s grasp and with a pro
fane farewell sjied up trie street. But
Officer Dunham is a sprinter, and he, soon
overhauled tho fleeing young man.
Hall stumbled as the oftieer reached
for him and they both fell, Dunham on
top and in command. A Mr. Mitchell was
with the trio when Hall broke for freedom
and he brought Robinson into tlie barracks
about the same time that Dunham arrived
with Hall.
They both were arraigned for disorderly
conduct. On searching them a revolver
was found hidden on Hall’s person, one
barrel of which showed signs of having been
recently discharged. A charge of carrying
com-caled weapons was added to his name
on thepolice blotter and both were locked
up. very probably they both realize veiy
fully this"morning that officer Dunliam has
a big streak of humor in him and that ho
knows a joke as soon as any one.
TO INVITE THE PRESIDENT.
A Meeting Called for That Purpose.
A special meeting of the Board of Trade
was held yesterday morning for the purpose
of taking some action in regard to inviting
his excellency the President of the United
States and Mrs. Cleveland, his estima
ble wife, to visit this city in
October next. President F. M. Hull
read the petition of the memliers
requesting the calling of the meeting which
he said explained the object thereof.
Several of tn< gentlemen present spoke on
the matter, among them (apt. C. S. Ellis,
who suggested that a petition Is* drawn up
inviting hi. Excellency here in October and
that it lie sign's 1 by the members and other
citizens and lie forwarded to the President.
Capt. Flannery was of the opinion that
the Mayor and Aldermen were the proper
ones to extend such an invitation, lie
called the attention of the Board to the
|Kiint that in taking the initiative step they
would lie compelled to foot the bills, and he
thought that it would be a better idea to
have other todies both civil and military
interested in the matter.
Mr.<C. C. Jones concurred in Capit. Flan
nery’s views. The discussion was finally
ended by Mr. Andrew Hanley, who uttered
the following resolution:
Retotved, That the President of the Board of
Trade Is' authorized to confer with the Mayor
in regard to Issuing a call for a public meeting.
This was unanimously adopted, Liter
in the day President Hull and Mayor Lester
had a conference, which resulted in the
Mayor issuing a call for a public meeting of
the citizens to be held in the long room of
the Exchange at 12 o’clock to day.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1887.
THE ALLEGED INMAN PURCHASE.
Ho Is Reported to Have Socured a Big
Block of Centra! Stock.
A New York special to the Augusta
Chronicle says that John 11. Inmnn lias
purchased a large block of Central railroad
stock —estimated to to between 5,000 and
10,000 shares—of the Now York syndicate
that holds control of the Central, and that
the price isiid was iu the neighborhood of
8130 per share. If tins statement proves to
to correct, it may restore liarmony among
the members of the syndicate. It was
stated a few days ago, however, that Mr.
Inman had tovu urged to enter the syndi
cate ati'l had declined. If he lias purchased
so largo a block of the stock it is
rather remarkable that the fact was
not generally known here yesterday
among those who manage to keep well
posted iu the syndicate’* affairs. It has been
stated that as much as $l5O per share has
iieen offer's! for the syndicate stock, pro
vided the greater purt of it could be ob
tained. Assuming that this statement is
correct, the price alleged to have lieen paid
by Mr. Inman is rather low. There is an
impression that the greater part of the
stock in the [xsilcost the holders of it about
§l3O. Still it may to true ttiat tho syndi
cate ha, parted with a large block of its
stock to Mr. Inman.
GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS.
Matters of Money and Management
About Various Linos.
The Rate Committee of the Southern
Railway and Steamship Association held
thrir regular summer meeting at Asheville
yesterday.
A dispatch received last night from At
lanta announced that the railroad lines
north of that city were open and that
trains were making schedule time.
Supt, Averill, of the South Carolina rail
way, said to a .Veto* and Courier reporter
yesterday tliat about 300 feet of tho trestle
on the Carolina side of the river had been
washed away bv the water, but that this
was about the only damage sustained by the
company from the overflow. He will com
mence repairing the treetle aw soon as the
water has subsided sufficiently for the men
to get to work. AH of tho regular trains
wore run on schedule time Monday, but,
owing to the break in the trestle, were
obliged to enter and leave Augusta by the
Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta railroad.
Palatka News: It is rumored that Mr.
George W. Bassett, who is agent for the
Florida Southern railway in this city, will
to transferred to Gainesville, where he will
occupy the same position. Tliat Mr. John
Coyne, the present Florida Southern agent
at Gainesville, will to made Superintendent
of the Charlotte Harbor division of
Florida Southern railway. Also, that
Mr. Charles H. Bent will superin
tend the St. Johns and Lake East is
division of the above nam'd railway. That
Mr. U. J. White, who went North Monday,
wili arrange for the immediate construc
tion of the railway bridge arrows the St.
Johns. Thut Mnj. Conant, of (he Florida
Southern, tind friends will stop the same by
innumerable injunctions. That it is quite
probable that these injunctions will not be
granted. That if they are the bridge will
cross at Rolleston. And that this will be
unsatisfactory to many of the property
owners and business men of Palatka.
Maj. Conant, of the Florida Southern, re
cently delivered himself of tho following in
response to tho inquiries of a Gainesville,
Fla., reporter: “The Florida Southern is on
a boom. Of course business is dull now; it
always is in summer, but our prospects are
most flattering. Tho orange crop at all of
our stations is as large or larger than it hns
ever been. We expect to haul over 50,000
boxes from Miounopy this year, whereas wo
only hauled 20,000 last year. All other
points are in proportion to Micauopy. In
view of the very fluttering prospects,
wo feel justified, in making some
long needed changes in our road I
have (’apt. W. F Couper, our chief
onginoer, with me, and ho will look over
the field, make preliminary surveys, and if
one thing puns out ns I am promised it will,
the change in the roadbed will lie made,
and Micauopy, a town I have always likod,
will be on our main track. A delegation
from Micauopy came to see me at Palatka,
and told mo that their town was ready,
willing nud anxious to do certain things for
us in order to give themselves better rail
road facilities; and now, if the Micanopy
folks are as good us their word, the change
will certainly be made.”
WEATHER BRIEFS.
Low and Stationary Temperature -The
Record at St. Louis.
The maximum temperature at this station
yesterday was 80.8°; the minimum average
temperature was 80.3°, being 1.7° below the
average for fifteen years. The rainfall was
.11, being ulso below tho average. The
temperature was not unusual throughout
the 81 a tie Rains have fallen generally
throughout, the average being ulxmt. 75.
AU the cotton districts reported rain, and
the temperature remained atiout stationary
ill all districts except the Memphis, where
it had risen, nineteen stations in that dis
trict reporting an average temperature of
100 .
Tlie weather over the entire country is
generally settled, except in the extreme
northwest, where an area of low pressure is
central, which will probably move eastward
over the Lake regions and St. Lawrence
river. Bt. Louis enjoyed the high tempera
ture of 03° at 10 p. in. lust night, being the
highest rermrted in tho country.
Indications for to day for the vicinity of
Savannah are fair weather und stationary
temperature.
Suddenly Crazed.
The negro Glenn, who wus arrested some
days ago for unceremoniously making him
self at home in tho apartments of Mr.
Martin, has suddenly developed a crazy
spell. For the last three or four days lie
has lieen acting queerly. and yesterday a
commission was appointed to examine idni
to-day. Last evening at iBSO he lagan
shouting at the jail, and his loud shouts ami
screams soon brought a large crowd around
on the neighboring sidewalks. He kept it
up for some tamo and then stopped. Home
think he is only (hamming to escape pun
ishment.
Changing tho Schedule.
On account of the recent do.ids in various
ports of tho State tho Hovatmah, Flora la
and Western lias been forced to make a
change in its schedule, and in another col
umn "’ill bo found tho new time card full

by the arrangements made with the (’ontral

MEMPHIS IN MOURNING.
Charleston Wins the Gams by Mag
nificent Fielding.
Charleston, Aug. 2. —Charleston put up
Smith and Chil'is to-day and won the game
easily, the McKeogh brothel's holding the
points for the visitors. In the third inning,
however, Catcher McKeogh was disabled
and Crottv was substituted for him. Hun
gler, of Charleston, umpired, there being no
league umpire here. Both pitchers were
freely hit, but the splendid
field work of Charleston won
the victory. In the seventh inning Mem
phis had an excellent chance to win the
game. They had ope run in with no one
out, and were hitting Smith right and left.
Carlin, in centre field, however, picked two
flies off the fence, and Childs caught a foul
tip, which put the side out with the bases
full. The home team played without a
single error until after the seventh inning.
The visitors also played well, but in hard
luck. The score l>y innings and summary is
as follows:
Charleston 2 00 3 0 000 2 7

NEW ORLEANS WINS.
It Takes Eleven Hard Fought Innings
to Decide the Game.
New Orleans, La,, Aug. 2.—lt took
eleven innings to decide to-day's game, and
for the last three innings all the 1,500 people
were on their feet. Nashville claimed
everything, and Mannion, their umpire,
gave them nearly all they asked. His deci
sions against New Orleans in the second in
ning were so outrageous that there was dan
ger of an outbreak. After that he confined
his work to balls and strikes. Neither Ayde
lotte or Kelly was hit hard, seven hits off
Kelly and six actual hits off Avdelotte be
ing made. When Nashville came to the
I<ut in the ninth the score was tied. Fuller’s
muff, Hogan's single and a base on balls filled
the bases, with one out. Masran hit to
third, and Kelly was retired at the plate,
and Fuller threw Burks out at first, leaving
the bases full. New Orleans won the game
in the eleventh inning. Cartwright hit so
hot that Bradley fumbled. Geiss hit to
Hogan, arid Burks dropped the ball at.
second, and Kelly foolishly threw to third
on Pujol’s hit, filling the bases. McVey’s
single brought two men in, and Fuller’s
single brought in two more.
In Nashville’s eleventh Kelly hit safe and
Clinton got his base on balls, but Tampan
made two nice catches, although he was so
lame that he could hardly walk, and Fuller
assisted a runner out at first. Hayes hurt
his hand and Hogan played second aud
Masran right.
The score by innings was as follows:
New Orleans.. .0 4 00000000 4—B
Nashville 3 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 o—4

A Hoosier Opinion on the Chiekering.
From ihr IndictnaiJoUs I holy Journal, July 8.
The Iloosier capital hu-s never in its his
tory extended her hospitalities to a more
cultured assemblage of artists than are at
present ut the Music Teachers’ National
Convention. Every other topic, not ex
empting natural gas and the new cable rail
way, have given wav before the subject of
music, in the hotels, in the family circle,
on the streets, everywhere, there’s music in
the air.
With all deference to other instruments
in use at the convention, there seems to be
but one opinion only as to tho superiority
of ti e celebrated Chiekering piano, if
wonderful sweetness of tone, its volume and
singing qualities at once caught the cultured
ear and delighted the senses of the audi
ence.
“Its voice is almost human,” said Mme.
Hive-King. “If the harps in the angelic
choirs surpass if I shall never cease my long
ing to reach heaven.”
Said another prominent artist: “The
Chiekering is the acme of ]>erfectiou in mu
sical instruments.” “There is no question
about that,” replied his comrades in chorus
at the hotel table at the Denison. On all
sides the same opinion prevails among the
lending musicians. Such occasions as this
< .Her the best opportunity to learn in what
estimation tho leading pianos of the coun
try are held, and this testimony of experts
ought, to go far towards enlightening the
public, if it really needed any upon this
proposition. If it wore possible to get an
expression from all the artists present the
li'-ult would lie entirely satisfactory to the
Chiekering people, especially if the words
of commendation which lull here and there
from the groups of musicians are a criterion
from which to judge. A large majority of
th" most distinguished artists are partial to
the Chiekering lid are using it.
The parlor at tho Denison occupied hv
Mr. GiMemrester, of the.lirm of Chiekering
A Sons, has lieen thronged during theca
tire convention. The conclusion of the
week's ten.il of music will leave the cele
brated Chiekering the bright, particular
star of tlie event.

“The Jury Exemption B II.”
Krli'nr Morning News: I notice your re
mirks relative to the above named bill in
your issue of this date, and while admitting
that a sytem allowing no exemptions would
be best for the public welfare, I think that
there are important reu-sons why a law
grunting a limited number of exemptions
should prevail in this State. As you are
aware the great State of Georgia makes
no appropriations from her Treasury
for maintaining or assisting her vol
unteer military organizations, although she
ax|ectß them to respond to any call that her
Executive may deem necessary to uphold
the law and protect the laws and property
of her citizens. The existence of these or
ganizations has a gcod moral effect in pre
venting riots and serious disorders in times
of public excitement, and thephysicui effect
they are calculated to produce, in case of
aggravated disorders, can hardly he esti
mated. Is it just, or equitable, that the
men who devote their time, or who
largely aid by their means in maintaining
these organizations should receive nothing
in return, and should also have to perform
each and every duty that their other fellow
citizens are called" on to perform? If the
numlier of exemptions be too great, why
not reduce them and ut the same time in
crease the dues? I very much doubt if the
ten whito companies in this city (or com
panies in other places which come under the
general law’) average twelve exemptions
each, or say 120 in Chatham county. Sup
pose the exemptions be reduced to ten per
company and the dues made not less than
S3O per annum in addition to the regular
dues required of other mem lie ruin the same
class, would not that be a step iu the right
direction?
The legislature should not iu justice to
the military of the State entirely repeal the
existing law, unless it is prepared to make
annual appropriations equal in amount to
what is now’ realized by the military from
its “jury exempt” members. Personally I
favor appropriations by the State for sup
ixirt of its military organizations, but our
legislators prefer that they should maintain
themselves by foraging oh our citizens.
