pecumbeh term OF SUPERIOR
COURT WILL DE A BUSY USE.
The Term Will Convene To-mor
row—Tilirty-nine Criminal Cases
on the Docket— Liberty and Jeffer- j
son Street Paving Assessments to |
Come Up—No Murder Cases Sow On. j
Judge Falllgant Back From Da-1
r i,. n Business in Ordinary s |
Court.
The Superior Court will convene for the
December term to-morrow. As usual, there
is a large amount of business. The docket
as made up by Clerk Carr shows 536 |
cases. This litigation is divided as fol- j
lows: Jury cases, civil, 318 old and 50 new, i
toiai 393; certiorari eases, 42 old and 12 j
new, total 54; foreclosure cases, 8 old and
5 new, total 13; motions, 32; criminal cases.
39; grand total, 536. Of this number there
are 9i cases on account of the paving as
sessments on Liberty und Jefferson streets.
The decision of one case as to each street
will determine all the other cases relating
to the paving of that street and the docket
will be simplified to that extent.
In the 39 criminal cases there is not a
single murder case. The grand jury, how
ever, will add to the number of criminal
cases with its indictments, and very like
ly there will be some murder cases among
the lot.
Judge Failigant returned to the city yes
terday from Darien, where he has been
holding the regular semi-annual session of
Mclntosh Superior Court and transacted
some business in the Superior Court here.
An order was granted extending the time
for the hearing of the motion for anew
trial of the turnpike commissioners against
the Vernon Sheil Koad Company, thirty
days from Dec. 5, it appearing to be im
practicable for the stenographer to file
an approved copy of the brief of evidence
in the case within the time previously al
lowed.
An order was granted requiring Hal
Walker to show cause on Dec. 10, why he
should not be required to pay temporary
alimony to his wife, Emma Walker, whom
he is now suing for divorce.
An order was issued by Judge Failigant
appointing Selig Mendel, guardian ad litem
for Albert Mendel, minor. Johanna Men
del, trustee under the will for the estate
of the late Meyet Mendel, also requests
permission to sell 40 shares of the first pre
ferred stock of the Southern Railway, es
timated to be worth S4O per share.

for the December term of the court.

CAUGHT ONE AND LOST TIIE OTHER
Hon Soldier Lost a Prisoner He
Turned Over to n Citizen.
Private S. G. Armstrong has had con
siderable experience with the Fourth Il
linois Regiment doing provost duty, but
he found yesterday that there are several
things for him to learn before he will
blossom into a full-fledged policeman.
One of them is that "a bird in the hand
is worth two in the bush.”
This lesson was forcibly impressed upon
Armstrong’s mind when he arrested
Charles Green, colored, for fighting on
East Broad street, near the corner of Lib
erty. When the soldier was some blocks
away, he saw two negroes scuffling in a
setto in the middle of the street, but he
thought they were only engaging in a
friendly wrestle. On getting closer, he
found such was not the case. They were
scrapping to a finish. Bringing his gun
to port arms, the soldier made for the
belligerents. Both fled into a nearby res
taurant, where they were closely pursued
by the soldier. He caught Green, and,
after a short argument, started with him
to the police barracks.
Around the corner on Liberty street the
soldier was overtaken by Maurice Butti
mer, who suggested that both negroes
ought to be arrested.
“I'll Just lake this one to the station.
There isn't any use releasing him in order
to catch the other,” he said.
“Well, but I Will take this one to the
barracks for you,” said Buttimer.
"All right, I’ll turn him over to you,”
replied the soldier, as he turned and start-
ed back. „ . .
The excitement had been al.ayed where
the fight occurred, and the soldier had j
easy work searching for the other man. j
He is William Bethel, also colored, and he
was unexpectedly in the clutches of the
sodier before he knew what was going
on. It was then the soldier thought his
work was completed, and headed with
Bethel for the barracks, where he ex
pected to find Buttimer with the other
mar, and prefer charges of fighting
against both. He had been told that Green
had not been taken to the barracks, and,
on reaching there, found, to his chagrin,
that the report was correct. A clever
dodge had been played on the soldier, and
those who thoroughly understood the sit
uation had a hearty laugh at the soldier’s
expense.
“A citizen has no right to treat me this
way,” protested the soldier. "You say the
citizen’s name is Bui timer? Well, I’ll Just
go down there und pull him. He said he
was intending to bring the prisoner here.”
Buttimer was not Interfered with, of
course, but the ingenious way he took to
release the negro caused much amusement
among the police at the soldier's expense.

MAY BE MAYOR MARSHALL.
Poolerltea Looking: to Him to Be
come the Town's First Executive.
Progressive citizens of Pooler are some
what anxiously awaiting the Incorpora
tion of their town by act of legislature.
By common consent, it is said that Mr.
Frank Marshall has been decided upon as
the most available man to fill the office
of Mayor after the town Is incorporated.
There will be an aldermanlc board of five
to support him in his endeavors to im
prove the place.
A street tax of $1 is to be levied, with
a tax of probably one-half of 1 per tent,
on real estate. The assessed valuation of
the town, It Is thought, will be In the
neighborhood of $75,000, and the revenue
from all sources is expected to run to
about SSOO in a year.
There will be no salary for the Mayor,
the only official receiving pay being a
town marshal, who will probably bring in
enough to the treasury in fines from his
prisoners to pay his own salary. It is
hoped to improve the streets of the town
and otherwise put it in a more progres
sive shape than it has been the past year
or two.
RESERVES REPRESENTED.
Commander Aiken of the Naval Mi
litia at Philadelphia. Conference.
The First Battalion, Naval Militia,
Georgia Volunteers, was represented at
the conference of naval reserves officers
from all over the country that is In pro
gress In Philadelphia. Commander Frank
D. Aiken of Brunswick attended, accom
panied by his aide.
The conference was called at the sug
gestion of the Secretary of the Navy, who
has gotten out a pamphlet in which he sets
forth the reasons for a reorganization of
the naval militia and plans for its accom
plishment. The officers will consider the
suggestions, and it is quite likely that they
will make some recommendations to the
department along the same line.
An officer of the Savannah companies
said yesterday that the naval militia is
only dormant here and that the companies
will become active again as soon as the
plans of reorganization Is announced. He
said that there are ninety names on the
rolls of the companies, and that there will
be no difficulty found in getting the men
together and creating the Interest that
was formerly felt.
