TROOPS UP Iff ARMS-
A CONFERENCE WITH THE GOVER
NOR ABOUT THE ENCAMPMENT.
A Committee from the First Regiment
end the Guards Urges Him to Re
sclnd His Order Changing the Open
ing of the Encampment from Mon
day to Tuesday, and to Allow the
Savannah Committee to Leave Here
Sunday Night and Return Saturday.
Lieut. CoL Peter Reilly of the First regi
ment, Capt Jordan F. Brooks of the Savan
nah Cadets, and Capt. W. W. Williamson
of Company A of the Guards, went down to
Wares boro yesterday morning and had a
conference with Gov. Northen in regard to
rescinding bis order changing the opening
of the Cbiokamauga encampment from
Monday, June 15, to Tuesday, June IS.
They returned last night.
The kick of tha military against the
change vti brought to the attention of the
board of officers of the regiment at its meet
lag a few nights ago, and CoL Reilly, Capt.
Brooks and Capt Williamson were ap
pointed a committee to wait upon Gov.
Northen and endeavor to have him modify
the order.
It was ths intention of the committee of
officers to have gone to Atlanta last night,
but, hearing that Gov. Northen was to be in
attendance at the commencement exercises
of Ware*boro high school yesterday, they
decided to meet him there.
THE QOVEBNOB’S POSITION,
Gov. Northen received the committee
•ordially and listened to what it had to say.
He said that he would prefer to have the
reasons against the cbauge and the commit
tee’s views formulated in writing and for
warded to him at Atlanta, so that be could
confer with Artjt Gen. KelL
The committee submitted a compromise,
so as rot to interfere with the religious
feelings of Gov. Noi then or any one else.
It requested that the troops be allowed to
leave Savannah Sunday night at 12 o’olook
Instead of waiting until Monday afternoon.
Tnis would put them at Cbiokamauga at 2
o'clock Monday afternoon, and they oould
go into camp immediately. Only two
hours would be lost from the time orig
inally decided upon, and the men on duty
would be allowed the two hours, so that
averythlng wonld work as if the camp bad
been opened at noon.
WANT TO BE HOME SUNDAY.
Ths committee also asked Gov. Northen
to allow camp to be struck the following
Saturday Instead of on Monday. It was at
first thought that this was the law, but a
close examination shows that an encamp
ment of one week of seven days is required.
If the law is adhered to it means that the
military cannot get away from camp until
Monday afternoon, and many of the soldiers
cannot remain away from their business for
that length of time.
The committee suggested to Gov. Northen
that in ease be should insist on the enforce
ment of this portion of the law discretion
ary power be given the commanding officers
to permit those who are oompalled to be
book at work Monday to leave camp Satur
day afternoon, not as stragglers but under
command of the senior officer of the squad.
THE EFFECT OF THE CHANGE.
Ths oommittee impressed upon Gov.
Northen that if the compromise were not
agreed upon some of Savannah’s companies
will bave a hard time mustering the legal
number of men for camp, while on the
other band if he grants the requests every
command will carry more than the require
ment, thereby adding materially to the
success of the encampment.
Gov, Northen replied that he would do
everything in his power to enable Savan
nah to send a large delegation of military
to Cbiokamauga.
The decision of Gov. Northen is anxiously
awaited, as the final decision of many
•bout going into camp binges upon it.
CURED BY THE LYMPH.
Printer Call Able to Work at Hie
Trade Again.
William EL Call, tbe printer who has been
under tbe Koch lymph treatment for con
sumption by Dr. E. R. Corson for several
weeks, mention of whioh was made In the
Mobnino News when the treatment was
begun, has almost entirely reoovered, and
is again working at his trade.
When Dr. Corson began the treatment
Mr. Call was oonflned to hie bed, greatly
emaciated, and bad given all hope of ever
getting out again, 'fhe first Injections pro
duced high fever and made him very sick.
In a week, however, he began to improve
and gain in flesh, and his recovery since
then has been rapid. Mr. Call now weighs
as much as he did before be contracted con
sumption and is steadily gaining. The
cough has almost disappeared and he feels
better that he has for years.
Dr. Corson is satisfied that he will make a
qpmple'.e cure of Mr. Call He will con
tinue the treatment for two or three months.
The lymph Is injected into the back just
alongside the shoulder blades, and now pro
duces no fever whatever.
The treatment has been so successful that
another consumptive has placed himself
under Dr. Corson’s care, and is also bdng
benefited. The lymph in this case is iu
jected in the arms.
Dr. Corson has also treated successfully
with the lymph several cases of lupus.
KNIGHTS CONTEST FOR PRiZffS
DuGuesclin Division of Uniformed
Pythians at Its Lest.
DuGuesclin Division No. 1, U. R. K. of
P., held its annual prise drill last night, and
it proved the most exciting drill the divi
sion has held in years. Col. R. F. Harmon
acted ns judge, and was unusually strict
and Sir Knight T. E. Broughton, who won
the prize for tbe second time, has good oause
for feeling proud.
After the drill the division was marched
to the residence of Capt. W. A. Walker,
where a spread awaited it. Remarks were
made by Col. Harmon, Grand Chancellor
Leopold, Grand Keeper of Exchequer Cox,
Grand Keeper of Records Naylor, Sir
Knights Godfred, Hunt and others.
DuGuetclin division is growing to such
proporti ms that it will only be a matter of
a short time when it will be forced to form
a battalion, and by tbe next meeting of the
grand lodge in Savannah, in May, 1892,
there will doubtless be a brigade of the uni
form rank.
HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT.
It Will Take Plaoe in Hunter Hall
June 20.
Tbs graduating exercises of the high
school will take plaoe in Hunter hall June
23. Hon. F. G. dußignon has been invited
to deliver the annual address upon that oc
casion, and it is probable that be will o
cept the invitation. The first grade in the
grammar school will receive its d.ptomas
preparatory to entering tho high school on
tbe day preceding the graduating exercises
of the high school
A desire has been expressed that there
should be some public exorcises in connec
tion with tbe delivery of the diplomas to
the grammar school graduates, and it is
probable that exercises consisting of decla
mations and readings will be held.
This will be a departure from previous
wi*tom, which, however, it is believed , will
prove a stimulus to the grammar school
pupils and increase the number who will
sttier the high school.

Paying Heavy Penalties for Sunday
Liquor Selling.
Three more Sunday law violators were
before Mayor McDonough yesterday morn
ing, and each was fined the usual SUXX
Mrs. L. C. Kassel), who was fined SIOO
last Monday, was up agaiu on a charge of
selling liquor on Sunday, April 12. She
was represented by J. R. Saussy, Jr., who
made a point that under a city ordinance a
person cannot be legally tried for an of
fense thirty days after its committment.
Mayor McDonough overruled the point and
called for the witnesses.
A Beit Line conductor testified that be
and a man named Robbins bought two bot
tles of beer in Mrs. Kassell's place April 19.
They gained access through the bar by way
of the kitchen, dining room and grocery.
Mayor McDonough said he was satisfied
that Mrs. Kassell was guilty and fined her
SIOO. She paid the fine and appealed the
case on a certiorari to the superior court.
William Meoge was the next unfortunate.
He keeps a barroom at Broughton and Drav
ton streets. Two witnesses testified to hav
ing bought drinks upstairs on Huuday, May
17. Mange ueniod that he had sold whisky
on thst Bund* y or any other Sunday.
O’Connor & O’Byrne represented him. Mr.
O’Oonnor argued that under the testimony
the city had no jurisdiction in the case.
Mayor McDonough, however, thought
otherwise, and fined Meuge SIOO. Mr.
O’Connor gave notice of an appeal to ooun
oU.
Mrs. Larkin, who keeps a saloon at
Indian and McGuire streets, was also
charged with selling liquor on Buuday. She
was represented by O’Connor & O’Byrne
and asked for a private hearing. The
request was granted, but it didn’t ohange
matters, as Mayor McDonough was satisfied
from the evidence that she was guilty and
fined her SIOO. As in Mange's case, Mr.
O'Connor gave notice of an appeal to
council.
OAN T TELL WHAT IT WILL DO.
The Electrical Railway and tha Su
preme Court.
President Collins of the Klsotrical rail
way declined to talk when asked by a
Mobnino News reporter what steps the
company will take now that the supreme
oourt has sustained Judge Falllgant’s in
junction against crossing the Savannah,
Florida ana Western traok at Gwinnett
street at grade.
Mr. Collins said that the legal counsel of
the railway, Mr. Charlton, is out of theoity
and ha bad not been able to couter
with him since the decision was rendered;
consequently he was not posted as to the
legal rights of the company, and did not
care to talk,
Mr. Collins was unable to say whether the
Eleotrioal Railway Company will watt
until the case can be tried by a jury and a
decision rendered, which would aguin have
to be passed upon by the supreme oourt, or
whether the company would be willing to
compromise the case.
Hon. F. G. du bignon, counsel for the
Savannah, Florida and Western railroad,
said, when approached upon the subject,
that be bad nothing to say about the
matter.
Work at the present is about at a stand
still upon the Klcotrlc railway. If the in
junction case has to be tried by a jury and
carried up before the supreme oourt again
before the matter is decided it will be sev
eral months longer before tbe railway will
be in operation. People alODg the line of
the new railroad are very much dissatisfied
with the delay.
WILMINGTON ISLAND LOTS.
Twenty-six Sold at From $135 to
s3so—Seme of the Buyers.
The sale of lota on Wilmington Island
on Thursday was about as good evidence of
the increasing value of suburbau land as
one oould want. Ths property is what has
been known for a century as Whiting’s
Point, and Is situated on a bold bluff on the
east side of W ilmington river, the rear
opening to the sea over a marsh intersected
by small creeks. It is about four miles be
low Thunderbolt, with whioh it has com
munication by steamer. There are a
substantial wharf and a house
for the accommodation of visitors,
the F.ureka club house, and some other
buildings.
The island is many miles in extent, but
the property offered of course only em
braced that at Whiting’s Point, owned by
the Wilmington Island Land and Im*
fjrovemout Company. There was not as
arge a crowd as was anticipated, but that
was doubtless due to the inclemency of the
weather. After the party hod had the op
portunity to examine the plats and walk
over the ground Mr. Dorsett, tbe auctioneer,
offered the property. Hpeciai lots were
first put up, and then the sale continued
from lot to lot. The close of
the afternoou’s business showed
that twenty-six lots had heeu sold at prices
ranging from $135 to $350. Among the
buyers teere E. J. Kieffer, Adam Kessnl,
David Douglass, J. Grimm, Charles Jemdal,
11. Logan, Capt. J. H. Johnston, Capt. H.
M. Branob, 8. L. Lazaron, Dr. G. H. Stone,

DOUBTFUL IF HE ACCEPTS
DR. SAILOR WANTS MORE TIME
TO MAKE UP BIS MIND.
The Meeting of tbe etandlng Commit
tee of tbe Ciocaae Postponed Until
the Biehop-E ect Decides What He
Will Do-A Probability That If He
Were Pressed for an Immediate An
swer He Would Decl ne tbe Office.
Rev. Charles 11. Btrong received a tele
gram from Atlanta yesterday announcing
that the committee appointed by the Epls
oopel diocesan convention to wait upon
Chanoellor Gailor and receive bis answer
whether he will accept the bisboprio of
Georgia, to which be bad been elected, has
returned to Atlanta without raoeiving an
answer from Dr. Gailor.
The meeting of the standing committee,
which was to have been held in Atlanta to
day to receive the committee's report, has
been postponed indefinitely. Dr. Gailor
wants more time. A Morniwo News
special from Atlanta last night says;
“it Is exceedingly doubtful whether Dr.
Gailor will acoept the bishopric. A mem
ber of the standing committee of the diocese,
which returned this morning, states that
Dr. Gailor has reached no decision, and
that tbe committee felt that if he were
pressed to an Immediate answer he would
decline. Recognising that affairs stood in
this attitude they took their departure,
after first assuring Dr. Gailor that he
should have as much time as he wished to
make up his mind.”
Rev. A. G. P. Dodge, Jr., of Bt. Simon’s
island, who was one of Dr. Gailor’* strong
est supporters in tbe convention, arrived in
Bavannab yesterday from New York on his
way home. To a Mobnino News reporter
Mr. Dodge said that Dr. Gailor is just tbe
kind of a man that if be wantod time to
mnke up bis mind be would take it or refuse
the place.
ELECTRICITY AND EXPRESS.
A Belt Lina Car and an Express
Wagon Tumble Into Each Other.
An electric car on tbs Belt Line collided
with an exon ss wagon at ths Bavannab,
Florida and Western depot last night about
8:30 o’clock, damaging both oar and wagon.
The car was ojtnlng down East Broad
street, and as it neared the depot the ex
press wagon was driven outof tne yard and
ita> ted across the track on East Broad
street in front of the approaching car.
The motorman saw the wagon and re
versed his car, but not in time to prevent
the collision. The cor struck the wagon
broad-ide, smashing the body and breaking
several spokes of one of tbe wheels. Tbe
wagon was loaded with express packages,
including several jugs of whisky. The
packages were thrown heltsr-skelter into
the street, the jugs smashing on the new
Belgian block pavement and spilling the
liquor in the thirsty sand. The sand was
not half as thirsty as the half a hundred
loungers who qulokly gathered around in a
frantio endeavor to secure some of tbe
precious fluid. They all got a smell and
some of the more fortunate got a drink.
Tbe horses were so badly frightened by
the collision that they broke away aud ran
down tbe street with tbe wagon for some
distance, but were recaptured without
further damage. The front platform of
the eleotric car was bent iu and the car was
otherwise damaged, so that it had to be
taken in to the shops.
The only passeuger on the car was a
policeman, who received a good shaking up,
but was not otherwise hurt. The motor
man was thrown off his balance by the
sudden reversing of the oar, but managed
to tumble off la time to save himself from
being hurt. The car motor may be seri
ously damaged by the sudden reversing and
the collision.
The Belt Line and the express company
can find out who was in fault, the street-car
driver or the driver of tbe express wagon,
by entering suit against each other for
damage*, os they are both sufferers by the
accident. It would be quite a pionio for the
lawyers to discuss tbe legal points in such a’
case.

BUS SB ZOPAVSa DRILL.
Private George Marmelstein Wise the
Company Gold Medal.
The prise drill of the Savannah Busoh
Zouaves, at Odd Fellows’ hall, last night
was witaeased by a large audience. The
little soldiers acquitted themselves admira
bly, and pat up a drill of which any adult
command might feel proud. The spectators
appreciated the work of the boys and ac
corded them a deserved amount of applause.
The drill wae douly interesting from the
fact that it was conducted in a manner en
tirely different from ordinary prize drills.
The three senior officers, captain, first and
second lieutenants, drilled the entire com
mend separately until but one member re
mained standing. At the end of this drill
the three who hwl withstood the test were
drilled together for the prize.
At B:is o’clock the command "fall in”
was given. Twenty-four Zouaves responded
to the order. After being put through the
preliminary movements of "left faoe" and
"present arms’’ by the first serges:.t. the
command was turned over to Capt. Mar
meUteln, who, together with Lieut*. Kren
eon and Braucb. carefully inspected the
uniforms and arms of the Zouaves Every
member passed inspection and than the drill
began in earnest.
Capt Marmelstein gave bia orders
rapidly, with and without numbers. The
little soldiers went through the difficult
movements like a piece of machinery for
several minutee. At last one little fellow at
the extreme left made an error In the
"carry arms” by numbers, and dropped to
the rear. This seemed to rattle the balance
of the command, and they weut down In
lively fashion until in a few minutes but
one remained standing, Private John
Ropers.
Two minutes were given for rest, and the
Zouaves were again ordered to lull In for a
second test of etfioieucy. This time Lieut,
Kreason tried his hat and. The hoys with
stood his commands considerably longer
than they had those of Capt. MarmeUtein.
Private Rogers went down before him
among the first, and Private Georgs Uar
mehtam was the last left standing. The
little fellow’s face showed grim determina
tion from the start, and when he won the
seoond round be was heartily applauded by
the spectators
Lieut. Branch drilled the Zouaves in the
third round. He retired all but Private
Charles Coleman in about seven minutes.
After a lew minutes' rest Privates Rog
ers, George Marmelstein and Charles Cole
man wer# ordered to “fall in” for the final
test for supremacy and the gold medal.
Capt. Marmelstein conducted the drill for
five minutes. The three youths put up a
magnificent exhibition, but Private Rogers
went down just before the ' ’rest” was given.
He made an error in “order arms.” When
Lieut. Krenson took charge both Privates
Marmelstein and Coleman showed remarka
ble coolness and determination. For sev
eral minutes they executed the motions
together with a oadeuce that was admira
ble. In the “recover” from “firing left
oblique by rear rank,” however, Private
Coleman made an error and stepped to the
rear, leaving handsome little Zouave Mar
melstein the medal winner. The crowd
applauded vigorously for several minutes,
and every one agreed that he well deserved
the prize on account of the plunk be had
displayed throughout the exciting contest.
After a rest the Zouaves were again
ordered to "fall in,” and Private Marmei
stein was ordered to the front and oenter.
Capt. Marmelstein made a few remarks
congratulating him on the excellent knowl
edge of the tactics he had displayed, after
which he pinned the medal on bis breast.
As Private Marmelstein marched back to
his position in ranks he was every inch a
soldier in his bearing, and the admiring
crowd cheered him again.
After the drill the floor was cleared and
dancing indulged in until after 1 o’clock.
CJNDUCrORB ON A JUNKET.
The Trip of tha Brotherhood Through
tha Big West.
The southern representatives have re
turned, or are on their way home from tbe
recent convention of the Order of Railway
Conductors at St. Louis. The party of 350
excursionists of the order broke up at St.
Louis yeeterdav morning, after a journey
of about 3,500 miles through Missouri,
Texas, Arkansas, Indian Territory and
Mexico.
The Order of Railway Conductors

St. Louis this year with Division No. 3of
St Louis, opening May 12. Thera were
about 000 conductors in attendance upon
tbe meeting, 350 of whom ware delegates.
Avery interesting meeting was held, last
ing ten days. On May 21 tho delegates left
St. Louis on an excursion tendered
by the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
and the St. Louts, Iron Mountain
and Southern. There were thirteen solid
Pullman sleepers in tbe train. An exten
sive trip over the southwest was taken, the
traveling being done at night, usually, and
the days spent In the cities along tbe route.
The excursion left St. Louis for Sedalia,
Mo., over the Missouri Pacific, thence over
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas to Denison,
Tex., and over the same road to Dallas,
from Dallas to Fort Worth by the Gulf,
Colorado an l Santa Fe route, and from
Fort Worth to San Antonio over the

OP THE BPRINGPISILD CANAL.
The Property Upon Which the Free
sent Beep Wells Are Bunk to be
Exchanged for a Location Farther
Out—The City Council Has a Lively
Time Authorizing the Change of
Site.
The city council wrangled for an hour
and a half yesterday afternoon over a trade
of Springfield plantation property for a
water works site. Only seven members of
the board were at the meeting, Aldermen
Cann, Meldrim, Harris, bailey, Carson,
O’Brien and McGuire. Alderman Bailey
asked to be excused from voting, as he was
interested in the trade when the proposition
was first made.
Alderman Cann, chairman of the com
mittee on water, offered a resolution em
powering tbe committee to exchange the
city lot first decided upon for tbe water
works for portions of lots Nos. 57, 58 and
59, west of tbe Springfield canal, tbe oity
reserving the right to cut streets through
tbe former lot, so as to tak9 in the artesian
wells, and also to widen Gwinnett street
and cut several lanse.
In offering tbe resolutions Alderman
Cann said that while the city lot was larger
in area than the others it was not so well
suited for geteing a supply of water.
OPPOSED TO GIVING 13 ACRES FOR 9.
Alderman Meldrim opposed tbe resolu
tion, not because he considered the judg
ment of the water committee wrong as to
the advantages to be derived for a water
works plant, but beoause he was opposed on
business principles to giving up in the aggre
gate twelve acres for nine acre* of what is
an unused clay hole. He didn’t want to be
understood as an obstructionist to gettiug
an increased water supply, but on a ques
tion of a value he had to dissent from tbe
resolution and would call for the yeas and
navs. He was willing to have appraisers
appointed and have them value the property
and pay for it. If the city property was
worth more than tbe other tract let tbe dif
ference be jiaid by the owner, Mr. Shofcall,
and vice versa if it proved otherwise.
AN ADVANTAGEOUS TRADE.
Alderman Cann replied to Alderman
Meldrim. He said the water committee bad
thoroughly investigated the values of the
respective pieces of land, and had unani
mously decided that tbe exchange would be
most advantageous to tbe oity. Alderman
Meldnm’s objection was that tbe Sheftall
tract had been excavated for clay. This
was just where the city would be benefited
considerably, ns they would not have to pav
for the excavations for erectiug the build
ings. While it is true that the city tract
ba i not been artificially excavated, 'Aider
man Cann said, nature has done its work.
There is a deep gully through the center,
wbich makes it much less valuable for the
city’s purpose thau the nine-acre tract.
THE WATER COMMITTEE’S POSITION.
The alderman did not care to have tbe
water oommittee placed in the light of giv
ing away twelve acre* of citv property
for nine acres. Alderman Melarim is not
willing to accept the appraisement of the
water oommittee, which entirely repre
sented the city, but he is willing to abide by
a board of appraiaers, seine cf whom neces
sarily must be friendly to the party who
owns the tract.
Alderman McGuire laid he bad been over
the grounds and considered the city tract
more valuable than the other, and, theie
fore, believed Alderman Meldrim’s position
was right and proper.
Alderman Meldrim offered an amendment
to tbe resolution chat the city appoint two
appraisers, Mr. Shefftall two appraisers, the
four to select a fifth, and thus secure a
valuation of both tracts. It was lost.
Alderman MoGuire offered an amendment
that instead of making a trade tbe city pur
chase whatever land it needed for water
works. This amendment was also lost.
THE TRADE AUTHORIZED.
The question on the resolution was then
called for, and it was adopted.
Aldermau Meldrim insisted on the yeas
and nays, with the following result:
Yeas—Aldermen Cann, Harris, Carson
and O’Brien.
Nays—Aldormeu Meldrim and McGuire.
The Bheflall tract originally belonged to
the Savannah Brick Manufacturing Com
pany, which offered to trade some time ago
with tbe oity. Since then au option has
been given to Solomon Sheftall, which he
olosed several days ago. It is milch better
suited for the r.ew water works than tbe
city lot, as tbe sti atum of earth is better for
artesian wells.

THE BANK BUITS STILL ON.
The Testimony to be Finished This
Morning and the Case to Oo to the
Jury To-day.
The Guilmartin bond suit against the
Merchants’ National Bank is not yet con
cluded. It ooonpied all of yesterday, and a
recess was taken at 7:80 o’clock last night
until 10 o’clock this morning.
Interest in the case is still unabated. The
city court room was filled agaiu yesterday
by business men, who are closely watching
every twist and turn.
Mr. Carbart was the first witness placed
upon the stand. Hu testimony was on the
same line as that of Capt. Guilmartin and
oorroborative in almost every partioular.
He testified as to bis doing business through
the basic oo “special” receipts of Gadsden.
He also proved that during Mr. Cope’s
presidency, that official had issued similar
receipts to those of Gadsden, and he con
sidered it a custom of the bank. Mr. Car
hart is a retired banker and Uvea in Brook
lyn,
Mr. Gaudry and Dr. Herron were recalled
to identify certain receipts, and Alderman
Mills was put upon the stand to prove tbe
bank's custom of doiug certain business
through cashier’s receipts.
This closed the testimony for the plaintiff,
and, after a short recess, Mr. Erwin asked
the court for a non-suit. He based his de
mand for a non-suit on the ground that the
Merchant*' Bank is a gratuitous bailee of
the Guilmartin bonds and bad never re
ceived a cent for holding the collaterals.
The only thing oa which the
bank could be held, Mr. Erwin claimed, was
for gro.s negligence in not caring for tbe
bonds. In such au event the burden of
proof is upon tbe bailer to prove the negli
gence This liad not been done by the
plaintiff. Capt. Guilmartin, who had at
one time been a director, testified that the
transactions had never, to his knowledge,
been considered by the noard of directors.
He had depended upon Gadsden,
aud considered him an honest
man. The bank, he admitted, had not
been negligent in keeping Gadsden in its
employ. It is admitted, said Mr. Erwin,
that Gadsden stole the bonds, but the bank
should not bo held responsible for tbe pri
vate act of its servants. He read from
numerous authorities to sustain his position,
notably from Massachusetts laws.
Air. West replied for the plaintiff. He de
nied that there were any grounds whatever
for a non-suit, and also denied that the au
thorities cited by Mr. Erwin had any bear
ing whatever on the oase at bar. The laws
of Georgia specifically state that in all suits
of this kind the burden of proof is not upon
the bailor to prove gross negligence,but upon
the bailee to prove due diligence. He ridi
culed Mr. Erwiu’s position that because
Capt. Guilmartin and the bank bad consid
ered Gadsden an honest man that there was
no redress when a man’s property was made
away with. If such an argument was valid
Mr. West claimed that a bank could
shirk responsibility for almost anything
tbac should be stolen by setting up
a plea that they had thought the servants
were honest. The question of whether or
not the plaintiffs had shown negligence, Mr.
West said, is a matter for the jury todeoide.
Mr. Saussv followed Mr. West and backed
up bis colleague’s argument against a non
suit by numerous Georgia authorities.
At the conclusion of the argument Judge
Harden rendered a deoision denying a non
suit and ordered the trial to proceed. The
testimony for the bank then began. It is in
a line that the bank is not responsible for
such special transactions as those of Capt.
Guilmartin, ns it did not receive any re
muneration, and they were merely accom
modation.
AU the evidence will probably be in this
morning, and the jury will get the case this
afternoon or to-night.
