8 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 That was repealed, and as no bill oould l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.’’ LA WHENCE HANLEY’S BENEFIT. The Dunicheffs to bo Given by tho Fords in Hie Honor.

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 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.

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.

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 Memphis 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0-2 Errors—Charleston 1. Memphis 3. Base hits—Hines, Crostic, Andrew, Phelan and C'rotty.

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 Batteries—Kelly and Nicholas, Avdelotte and Wells. Base hits—New Orleans 7, Nashville 11.

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 Enguctlne Bouquet, Atkinson’s new jierfumo.

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. A Volunteer.
