ORDERED TO STOP WORK.
W. L. EXLEY ENJOINS THE COUNTY
FROM FINISHING BAY STREET.
Commissioner Read Says that the
Work Was Pretty Well Advanced
Any tv ay, end it Will be Continued
by the County CTivinsr Bond—The
Grounds Upon Which Mr. Exley
Asks for an Injunction—The Case to
be Heard in the Superior Court
Saturday.
The committee of the board of county
commissioners, consisting of Dr. James B.
Rcad, Col. J. H. Estill and S. Meichard, and
County Engineer E. J. Thomas, and William
Alien, who has charge of the convicts on the
west side of the city, was temporarily en
joined yesterday by William L. Et ley from
prosecuting the work on the Bay street ex
tension.
The papers were filed iu the superior
court by Lester & Haven."' 9>id Charlton &
Mackall, attorneys for Mr. Exley, and an
order was taken for the defendants to show
cause Saturday morning at 10 o’clock w hy
the injunction shall not be granted, and
until the hearing the defendants, “their
agents, associates and subordinates are re
strained from entering upon the land of
said William L. Exley, and from grading
and digging thereon, and from destroying
the crops therein planted.”
THE GROUNDS FOR THE INJUNCTION.
The petition, after the preliminary
declaration as to the uses to which the land
is put, sets up the claim that the defendants,
in defiance of the owner's rights, have un
lawfully entered and trespassed upon the
land and are so doing daily; that they have
torn down the fence on the western limits
of the tract, and are leveling the land to au
uniform grade and destroying it for
agricultural purposes; that in carrying out
the alleged unlawful acts they are digging
up ana destroying the crops, and have de
clared their intention to continue in this
way until the western limits of the city, a
distance of 500 feet by 50 feet in width,
have been reached, and that they have al
ready dug up and graded a distance of 50
feet by 50 feat wide, and unless they can be
■topped the petitioner will suffer irremedia
ble damage for which there is no adequate
remedy at law.
WILL, GO RIGHT AHEAD.
Commissioner Head informed a Morning
News reporter yesterday that the injunction
will not interfere with the county’s work on
the new road. He said that about all the
digging required would be completed by
the time the men quit work for the day,
and that bond will be given and the work
will proceed uninterruptedly.
There are some complications in the issue
between Mr, Exley o:i the one hand and the
city anu county on the other ia the right of
way question.
ft appears that at the outset the city,
after delays and frequent conferences, came
to Mr. Exley's terms and was granted the
right of way across Mr. Etrley’s lands for
the Bay streot extension; but, as the terms
were exacting, the city delayed proceeding
with Its portion of the work, as it found it
would bo much more expensive to furnish
a cedar post fence, and construct a system
of drainage such as he insisted upon, and
conform to such grades as he roquii ed.
TIRED OF DELAY.
The county commissioners grow tired of
the delay, and at a meeting of the board,
at which Mr. Exley was present, sought to
come to some terms with him for the right
of way for that part of the road lying out
side of the jurisdictional limits of the city.
Mr. Exley, while alleging that ho would
like to see the matter settled, informed the
commissioners that it was not in his power
to treat with the county, as he had parted
with the right of way to the city, which he
would hold under his contract.
County Att irney Saussy, upon being
called upon for legal advice, informed the
board that the city hail no right to con
tract for right of way for a road lying out
side of the corporate limits of the city no
more than the county had to construct
roads insid *t he certiorate limits, and ho
suggested that condemnatory proceedings
begin to secure the right of wav for that
portion of the road v/ithiu the county’s
jurisdiction.
WENT ALONG WITH WORK.
This step was taken by serving notice on
Mr. Exley and the city jointly that the
county would, at a time fixed, proceed to
open the road, anu notifying the parties to
put in their claims for damages.
Mr. Exley, taking the position that the
right of way had been contracted for by
the city, put in no claim; and the city upon
the ground that any contract for right of
way outside of the corporate limits is void,
did not answer, and after the limit had
fully expired the commissioners proceed and
to construct the road through the Exley land
unchallenged until yesterday, when the
injunction papers were filed.
MR. EXLEY BEHIND TIME.
It is claimed that as far as the county is
concerned Mr. Exley has lost hit day in
court, and must, look to the city for such
damages as he may have sustained, as ho
elected to do when notified that the county
intended to construct the road through his
land.
11 is predicted in some quarters that the
city may take advantage of the alleged
illegality of its contract with Mr. Exley,
and when it gets ready to extend its part "of
the Bay street extension will do so by con
demning the right of way, which some of
the aldermen, and especially Alderman Har
mon, chairman of the street and lane com
mittee, was in favor of doing at. the outset.

THE COUNTY'S DRAINAGE.
I Tho Plan to Reclaim the Lands South
west of the City.
Maj. R. A. Blandford has made o profile
1 of the Little Ogeechee pond or reservoir,
which feeds the Ogeechee canal, by which
he shows that the proposed plan of making
the Ogeecbee canal an auxiliary to the county
drainage would reclaim, to put the figures
in a conservative way, from 8,000 to 0,000
acres of laud now valueless, but which he
says is the richest laud iu Georgia, fertilized
by tho decayed vegetation and forest foli
age of centuries.
Maj. Blandford expresses the iielief
that if the Ogeecbee canal is
deepened, a sluice way is made to relieve
the backed up waters of the Lit* la Ogee
ehee, permitting them to find their way
into the natural channel of the river, and
diuin Harden swamp, and the culverts are
enlarged to aceommexiale the water volume
which saoiild pass through them, that the
canal could continue to be used for purposes
of navigation, and tho business over it
would be largely increased bv the develop
ment of so largo an arable territory tribu
tary to it
To carry out a drainage plan of this kin 1,
Maj. Blandford says, would cost approxi
mately 840,0 DD, but he believe; that w ithin
five years that amount or more would flow
back into th“ treasury from taxation.
Thousands of acres would lie immediately
reclaimed by relieving them of the water
w-nich the Little Ogeecbee dam keeps
backed up o:i them, and luter.il draios ex
cavated by the laud owners would reclaim
a great deal more land.
.Maj. Blandford says that the canal has |
been allowed to fill iu until the bottom iu
some places is higher than portions of
Harden’s swamp, and the little Ogeochee
pond interf ring, as it does with the natural
drainage, backs the water up on lands other
wise valuable, and in seasons of wet weather
Harden’s swamp overflows iuto Pipeinaker
swamp. By the plan proposed Muj.
Blandford says that Harden’s swamp on
either side of the Ogeechee i anal could be
drained iuto the canal.
It is said to tie She settled purpose of the
county commissioners to relieve that por
tion of the county of ils waters. and this
the county will seek to do first through tha
co-operation of the canal company, but if
tfce company is not iuclined to co-operate
in the work, the suggestion has bean made
that the county is uot without relief, as it
can tunnel under and let out the waters of
the swamp. Taeu the canal would cease
to be navigable. It is not believed, how
ever, that such heroic measures will have
to be resorted to, although it would be
much less expensive to the county.
A TRIBUTE TO THE DEAD.
Col. Snead's Letter to the Widow of
Trevor Rice.
The recent death of Trevor Rice, a vete
ran of the Third Georgia regiment, did not
pa s unnoticed by llou. Claiborne Snead of
Augusta, the last colonel of th 9 Third
Georgia who surrounded the regiment at
Appomattox, Mr. Rice being one of the
surrendered. A friend of Mrs. Rice and a
comrade of Col. Snead has handed the
Morning News a c >pv of the tribute paid
to the deceased, which is as follows;
Augusta, Ga., March *t, 1890.
Mrs. Grace liter:
MyDiar Madam: With unfeigued sorrow ilio
sad tidings of the death of your husband were
received,
He was one of my comrades-in-arms in the
lato war, whom I highly esteemed.
1 knew him well from experience in the camp
and in battle; in tho former he was all life, and
contributed many a pleasant moment to mo by
his exuberant vivacity, while iu the latter 1
learned to recognize In him as gallant a soldier
ns ever shouldered or tirei a musket.
His old comrades of the Third Georgia will
miss him. and grieve that never on eartu shall
they see him again.
I Indulge the hope, however, tint your loss,
which is tar greater, will he bis gain, in i hat he
is now free from the trials ami troubles of his
transitory life; and if fate c mid fulfill my wish
it would be that he, who “tempers the wind to
the shorn lamb,*’ may hover around and gtxard
you in this your great affliction. Very respect*
fully, Claiborne Snk.au.
Col. Snead, it is claimed by the survivors
of tho Third Georgia regiment, surrendered
and stacked more guns of bon i tide mem
bers of the regiment than any other regi
mental commander in Gan. Lee’s army, as
none of the Third Georgia were stragglers,
although they* had marched and fought all
the way from the linos around .Petersburg
to Appomattox.
Since tho war Col. Snead has bean prom
inent at the bar, w*as judge of the city
court of Richmond county and subsequently
judge of the superior court of the Augusta
circuit, and was promiueiily mentioned for
the supremo bench when the amendment to
tho constitution providing for au increase
of that judicial body was thought likely to
be adopted.

DISCOVERED A GOLD MINE.
Rev. Henry Dunioo Struck It Rich In
Colorado.
Rev. Henry Dunlop, up to four years ago
rector of St. Matthew’s church iu Savan
nah, has recently made a discovery ia Colo
rado which may make him immensely rich.
He has discovered a gold mine, and exports
say that its value is far beyond any in that
part of the country.
The discovery was made Thanksgiving
day near Tclluride. Mr. Dunlop went to
Colrado soou after leaving Savannah, as a
missionary among the miners. His field of
labor lay some distance from Dsnver in the
neighborhood of Telluriile. Ho writes to
friends describing the statu of pis affairs
and what led to the discovery. He was
riding over the mountains on Thanksgiving
day to visit one of his churches, add in pass
ing along the side of a hill, ho saw what hs
thought looked like gold. He dug into it
aud satisfying himself of his find, he started
to go back and stake off a claim. Before,
however, he this, a minor “jumped” it,
staked it off and claimed it. Fortunately
for Mr. Dunlop the” miner did not folio w
the lead, and his “staking” amountad to
very little.
After surveying its ground carefully,
Air. Dunlop staked it off, and secured the
services of a Leadvillo expert by giving
him oue-third of the mine, and the mine is
now being developed. A sink of five feet
has been made, and the ore is the finest in
that section. Other projectors havo dug
us deep as 500 feat without getting oro one
tenth t e value of the ore found five feet
under the surface of Mr. Dunlop’s claim.
Tho Leadville expert says of it that,
from the surface indications, it is
as rich as any develooed iu the
palmy days of I/oadville, whore the
finest oro was found. For claims like Mr.
Dunlop’s Leadville miners paid as high as
$500,000. No in ney is required by the state
fro n those staking the claims. They are
required to improve the site staked to the
value of SIOO each year. That is, they must
turn out that amount each yeur.
Air. Dunlop has already been offered a
large suiu for his claim, which ho has
promptly refused. He has many friends in
Savannah, and in Darien and Brunswick,
who will be glad to hear of his lucky find.

IN' AND ABOUT THE CITY.
THB COUNTY MAP SURVEY.
The Progress of the Work Since It
Was Begun.
The work of the engineering cirps under
Maj. R. A. Blandford, which Is surveying
the county for the new county map is pro
gressing favorably. Tti9 work began iu
October, 1888, and was interrupted that
year to tak s up the surveys for a sewer out
let from the city. The work was taken up
again iu 1889, and was again interrupted by
taking up the survey for the Bay street ex
tension, tho Cas.-y canal and the county
lands. Sickness somewhat interfered with
the work toward the latter part of the sum
mer, so that the entire corps had to be with
drawn from the s .vamps.
Maj. Blandford said that the corps is now
surveying a section uortli of Ptperaaker
swamp to a line south of the Ogeecheo
canal, a section from four to five miles
wide.
The surveys have been completed from
the eastern line of the city to the marshos
and embracing a portion of the marshal,
and south almost to Montgomery, and on
tho west of the city up the Savannah river
to Pipemaker creek. The section now be
ing worked upon will extend from tho city
entirely across the county. The work thus
far this year has been continuous, and the
health of the men is good.
The force consists of twelve men. includ
ing the engineers, and is principally com
posed of white men. They pitch their camp
on the elevations in the vicinity of their
wo: k. Five tents are used, four of which
are occupied, and the fifth, a large "fly,” is
used as an eating tent. A cook prepares the
moals. The men breakfast at C:ffJ, aud by
7 o’clock are iu the field. Dinner is brought
to thorn, aud they reach camp by sundown.
After supper the work of the day is trans
cribed.
The moccasins are reported to be plenti
ful, and in the summer months some good
sized rattlers were encountered and many
of both species of these suakes were killed.
None of the mau have ever been bitton by
them. Occasionally a night trip is taken to
tli© canal to “gig " for fisti, and Alaj. Bland
ford says that on a recent night expedition
of the kind more moccasins than fish ware
killed. Squirrels ure reported plentiful,
and an occasional deer track is met with.
The light of the camp fire keeps away the
wild denizens of the swatnp lands.
AT THE COURTS.
Go33ip Pleiad Up Here and Thera in
tha Court Room3.
Iu the city court yesterday there was
quite a large number of criminal case3 dis
posed of. All of the defendants but one
were colored. Tne single exception was
IV. F. Sauls, who was fined 8109 or six
months for biting off about one-half of Fred
Edwards’ right ear in a rough and tumble
fight.
John Bowen, the person who made two
raids on the store of M. L. Byck & Bro.,
received a double dose, being sentenced to
twelve mouths on each of tne two charge;
of larceny from the house, one offense hav
ing bean committed on March 2J, a id the
other five days later.
Robert Phinizy was sentenced to ten
months on the chain-gang for the larceny
of a coat.

of a goat, wore each sentenced to six
months on tho chaiu-gang.
Charles Clayton, for an as;ault upon
Alvin Miller, was fined SBJ or four months,
and Allen Brooks, for an assault upon Es
tella Brooks, was fined $25 or threo montns.
Yesterday’s se.sion of the superior court
was occupie i bv the trial of the damage
suit of John F. Guiimartin against toe Sa
vannah, Florida and Western Railway Com
pany, and at a late hour last night the jury
uad not agreed, th 9 court directing a sealed
verdict. The amount involved is less than
SIOO, aud the damage is alleged to have re
sulted from a two days’ detoution of a ship
ment of Texas ponies, which were without
food or water during that time, and neces
sitated an increased outlay and extra
attention to restore them to merchantable
condition. The jnry went out at 2 o’clock
p. in.
Flight of tho nine decisions of Judge Falli
gant which have been passed upon by the
supreme court at the present term have
been affirmed, which includes the two Au

The incorporators are Walter J. Thompson
and U. H. McLaws.
J ustice Davidsod did not hold liis court
yesterday to investigate the case of the
juror who was summoned to his court, and
failed to appear. The justice says the juror
whom he summoned sent him word by the
officer who served the summons that ho
was a military man. Ho did not consider
that a sufficient ratification, and issued his
order for the “jurior” to show cause why he
was not in contempt. He learned yester
day that the j uror was a road commissioner,
and the case was off.
F’rederick Ward, a colored purse snatcher,
was before Mayor Schwarz yesterday morn
ing for snatching a purse and $8 out of the
hands of Mattie Adderson on Tattnall street,
near Jones. The woman was going down
the street wi'h tho sachcl in her ha id, and
Ward sneaked up behind her, and seizing
it, jerked it out of her grasp and ran awav.
Ttie woman shouted for help, aud Officer
Baughn rode down the%treet in time to see
the thief turn the corner. He gave chase
and around the next corner captured Ward.
He w*as taken to the barracks, and when
he wa; searched, the purse containing the
the $8 was recovered. Yesterday morning
before tho mayor, the purse snatcher ack-*
nowledged the crime, an l he was
turned over to the superior court. A g od
deal of purse snatching has been going on
lately, the officers say. It is bard to cap
ture the thieves. They have time to get
around tho corner and out of the way be
fore an officer can get then:. It is believed
that Ward is an old hand at the business,
aud the officers are very glad that ho is
capt ure I.
Martin Haar, with Henry Suiter, at Lib
erty aid Montgomery streets, was injus
tice McDermott's court yesterday, charged
with assaulting H. T. Watts while Watts
was intoxicated. Haor denied assaulting

VV. E. Wimpey, a picture frame dealer,
was in Justice McDermott’s court yester
day upon a charge of as ault and battery
upon llagar Davis, living at No. 10 Indian
street lane. The w oman alleged that Wim
pey made a frame for her marriage license
and charged her 81 for it. She paid half of
the amount, and was to pay the remainder
yesterday. She toot tho frame home, and
when Wimpey called she did not have the
money. She said that she told the picture
frame dealer that she would get the money
for him during the afternoon. He refused
to wait, and seized the picture frame,
license aud all, and started out the door.
Tho woman remonstrated, and she said that
he knocked and beat her. Wimpey denies
the charge. He acknowledged that he laid
tho weight of his hand on her. but he did
not strike her. He was required to give
bond.
I was troubled for a number of years
with liver complaint and disordered stom
ach. Nothing did me any permanent good
until I used Smith’s Bile Beans, which have
cared mo entirely. They are a grand med
icine. My wife believes there is nothing to
equal them.

AT THB THEATER.
Morrison in “ Faust ” Laet Night-Tbe
Minstrels To-morrow Night.
Morrison played “Mephisto” in
“Faust” las; night before a good audience.
It was the second time that Mr. Morrison
has been seen in Savannah in the piece, and
he was accorded an enthusiastic reception.
Miss Rosa B lie Morrison made a charming
“Marguerite.” The scenic effects of the
play are tine, and altogether the production
is one of the most elaborate ever seen in
Savannah.
Primrose & West To-Morrcw.
The sole of seats for Primrose & West’s
Millionaire Minstrels to-morrow night will
begin at Butler’s this morning. Anything
in the minstrel lias draws in Savannah, and
Primrose <K West are more than a drawing
card. Their #35,000 crystal-satin fltst part
is said to be something new, original and
unique. The costumes are gorgeous, each
member representing a Monte Cristo, nearly
fifty in number. Barney Fagan has cov
ered himself in glory by adding new laurels
to his fame by oatdoing all previous efforts.
The march of the “Popinjays” and “The
Language of flowers” are -aid to surpass all
former productions. William 11. West will
appear in his latest idea, “Cremation,” and
tie Big Four in their latest cornedv success,
“The Haunted Mill.”
, APRIL. WEATHER AT SEA.
The Hydrographic Bureau’s Prediction
for the Month.
The hydrographic bureau makes the fol
lowing prediction for April: Westerly
winds, of less fores, however, than duriag
the month just passed, will prevail over the
transatlantic steamship routes east of the
00th meridian; west of that meridian, and
along the Atlantic coast of the United
States the winds will be variable. Galas
may be expected about once a week north
of the 03d parallel. But few northers will
be felt in tue gulf, and those that do occur
will be of less duration than earlier in the
season. The northeast trades, having
reached their southern most point during
March, will this'month begin to exte id far
ther north. Icebergs and field lea mav lie
encountered between longitude 40° aud 50°
west, as far south as latitude 41“ north.
Fields may also be met with inshore as far
west ns the <>s’li meridian. Considerable fog
will be experienced off the Graud banks
and the coast of the United States as far
south as Hntteras.
Mr. Charles Eden, of Trinidad, Colorado,
says: “Seeing certificates of the wonderful
cures made by Brewer’s Lung Restorer, I
was induced to try it on my little son, who
was troubled with lung or throat affections,
pronounced by one physician consumption.
It acted wonderfully on him and by the
time he had taken one bottle of it the cough
disappeared. — Adv.

Got tlao Card He Wanted.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer, March 25.
There was a quiet little game of poker at
a club house last week i.i which a very re
markable hand was filled from tho discard
pack. There wore seven in the game, and
after the pot was filled the players drew for
a show down. The last man had nothing
whatever in his haud, but held up the ace
and five of clubs aud called for three cards,
but when the dealer reached him there were
but two cards left in the deck for him—they
were the deuce and tray of clubs. The
player 1 oked at them aud a smile broke
over hislfeatures. “Give me another card.”
he said to the dealer. Tee dealer took up
the discarded cards, shuffled them, and
drew one out of the center. Holding its
back toward the player, be said: “What do
you want?” As it was a show down the
player laid his ace, deuce, tray and five of
clubs on the table, face upward, and said:
“Give me that four of clubs.” To the aston
ishment of everyone the dealer threw the
card in his hand down on the table, and,
sure enougu, it was tho desired four of clubs,
making a straight fl ish, the highest band
possible, which took the pot. This was tho
topic of emvorgation at tue club for the rest
of the week.
