“DO YOUR DUTY, I’LL DO MINE.”
J IDG IS F.II,UOA\T'S POINTED
CHARGE TO THE GRAND JCHT.
The Fine System ns n Mode of Pun
ishment Demanded by the Tax
linyers, He Sold, nnd the Fine* Im
posed ns penalties for Crime Go to
Their Ueneilt—The Grand Jnry
Charged to Investigate the Al
leged Prevalence of (ianblllf anil
of Bribery—The Judge’s Emphatic
Reply to the Criticism of the East
Grand Jury—Will Be the Sole
Judge of Ills Judicial Acts, he
Said.
Judge FnlUganCs charge to the grand
Jury at the convening of the June term
of the Superior Court yesterday, wns one
of the most pointed and emphatic charges
that a Chatham county grand Jury has
listened to In recent years. It dealt at
some length with the questions that
formed a leading issue In the recent so
licltorehlp campaign—the suppression of
gambling, nnd the fine system ns a mode
of punishment.
As to gambling, the Judge charged the
grand Jury pointedly on Its duty. He
quoted the section of the criminal code,
holding the owner or agent of any prop
erty used for gambling purposes liable
lo the same extent as those who main
tain gaming rooms, where the property
Is known by the owner or agent to be
so used. Commenting on this section of
the code, Judge Falligant threw out a
warning to house owners and renting
agents, to be careful in the selection of
their tenants, and he charged the grand
Jury that It is its duty to present vio
lations of the law in this respect, as
well as In the maintaining of gambling
places.
But the moat direct point in the charge
was as to the suppression of the policy
lotteries which rob the poorer classes of
their earnings and their bread. These are
the gambling places which most seriously
affect the public morals by taking the food
from the mouths of the wage-earners and
those depending upon them f<v their daily
support. There was no discrimination In
the charge, however, In favor of gambling
In any of Its forms, and the grand Jury
was directed to present all violations as it
finds them. The court, upon the con
viction of the offenders, will do lls whole
duty, the Judge added, In meting out the
proper punishment. Every means within
the law, he said, would be afforded the
grand Jury In obtaining the evidence it
deems necessary to present parties sus
pected of being guilty of its violation.
On this point Judge Falllganl, without
referring dlreotly to the presen iment of
the last grand Jury as to the failure of
the fine system as a punishment for gam
bling, took occasion to point out wherein
the statement that the fines that are
brought Into the registry of the courts
do not go to the benefit of the taxpayers,
Is untrue. The taxpayers do benefit from
the fines, he said, and materially so. Prior
to 1*34 the Insolvent costs of the court
olilota's were paid by taxation after the
amount in the registry of the courts from
fines had been exhausted, and these were
largely reduced by the frequent pauper
affidavits.. The bills of the court
officers for Insolvent costs were
sent into the county and the taxpayerspald
them. The people objected, and in 1884
the law limiting the amount of Insolvent
costs received by the court offi
cers to the amount of fines
and forfeitures was passed. Now
the Insolvent costs are paid from tie
fines and forfeitures alone, and the tax
payers are relieved from the addlkntl
taxation.
As to the severity of the punishment
for the keepers of gambling houses whose
repeated violations of law and public'sen
timent demand the infliction of a teve er
penalty than for ordinary offenses. Judge
Faillgant said the Court is entirely com
petent to Judge, and it will assume all re-
Mponelbility in determining the ex{ent aid
form of punishment within the limits pre
scribed by law, without dicta ton cr sug
gestion from any source. A negro con
victed of n stated offense is given an alter
native sentence of SIOO or twelve incn'hs
on the chain gang, for instance, said
Judge Falllgamt. A while offender for a
similar offense, say it Is keeping u gaming
houne, is given an alternative sentence of
SI,OOO flpe or twelve months on the chain
gang. "I call that a severe punishment,"
said the Judge. But whatever others
might say about it the Co-urt said
it ts ready to assume the entire responsi
bility. "You do your duty," Judge Fsltl
gnnt said to the grand Jury, “and I'll da
mine.”
The Court room was well filled with
•pectators and the Judge’s charge, while
directed wholly to the grand Jury, wis
listened to with the keenest interest by
every one in the Court room. It was de
livered with much fueling. Judge Fain
eant clearly felt the indirect criticism of
his Judicial acts by the previous grard
Jury and he emphasised his perfect right
to be the sole Judge of his duty In Im
posing penalties for crimes, within the
limits prescribed by law.
As to bribery In elections. Judge FaKi
gant charged the Jury briefly but point
edly. To preserve the purity of the
ba.lot is the duty of every good citizen, he
said. It is more the duty of those chaiged
wi>h the oversight of the public morula to
see that the sacred right of franchise is
not corrupted, it is a matter of report,
raid Judge Falligant, that votes are
bought and sold at elections In Savannah,
and he charged the grnnd Jury that
If, upon Investigation, It found the report
true, it should present both the bribe-tak
er and the bribe-giver.
“Bring them ail up," he said; "let ua
see wno they are.”
The public report of crime and Cor
ruption, reflecting upon the fair name of
Savannah, Judge Falligant said, la a cause
for deep regret. He believes that Savan
nah Is the equal of any city in the country
In purity of public morals, and whatever
crime does exist, he charged It Is the duty
of the grand Jury, as It Is the duty of
every citizen, to aid In Its suppression,
The grand Jury, however, can only do its
part. It cannot punish crime. That is
for the courts, but it can present to the
courts, after investigation, Buch matters
as It believes should receive their atten
tion. "It Is your duty to do this," said
Judge Falligant, “and without fear or fa
vor.”
The charge covered the usual matters
required by law to be Included In It, the
preservation of the Sabbath, the carrying
of concealed weapons, Investigation of the
county office*, the public roads and drain
age, and other matters rela/lng to the
prescribed duties of grand Juries.
After the Judge’s charge the grand Jury
at once began Its work lor the term. It Is
composed as fellows;
George A. Gregory, foreman. Frank C.
Battey, Leoprld Adler. Robert H. Tatem.
A. J. Ives. Alfred 8. Nichols, John J. Ne

The grand Jury was In session until
about 1 o'clock, during which time it was
hard at work, and many witnesses were
examined. At the end o*f the session twen

MAY COST TOO MUCH.
Mr, Collins* Figure* for Removing
City Gnvhnge Rather High.
It is likely that the city will continue
lo haul its garbag; beyond the city limits
In wagons. Alderman Dixon, chairman of
the Streets and Lanes Committee, receiv
ed the proposition yesterday made by Mr.
J. S. Collins in behalf of the Savannah,
Thunderbolt and Isle cf Hope Railroad
for the removal of the garbage. It is be
llevtd, however, that the figures are too
high.
When Mr. Collins took this matter tip
some time since with Alderman Dixon
and Director Gadsden, the Idea was quite
favorably reeftved, and both sides were
inclined to think that an easy solution
of the garbage disposal question was In
sight. The plan was for tbe street rail
way company to remove the garbage from
the crematory lot to the county farm,
where It would be received and distribut
ed. After looking Into the matter, Mr
Collins found that the expense to which
the company world he pul in equipping
for the work would be considerable, and
he oxpr s.ed tbe opirl n at the time that
h s figures might 1 e top high for the city.
Besides providing special cars for the
work it would be necersary for the com
pany to build spur tracks to the crema
tory lot and on the county farm. The
Streets ard Lanes Committee will consid
er the proposition, however, and possibly
some agr ement for tbe work may be ar
rived at.

LAND WENT WITH A RUSH.
PROPERTY AGGREGATING *7:1,380
WENT AT THE JUNE SALES.

of the Surprises of the Sale—Many
.Small Pierces of Property I'nder
the Hammer—Real Estate Men
Satisfied With the Condition of the
Market.
The June auction sale* yesterday were
more largely attended and the bidding cn
some of the property was more energetic
and spirited than has been the ease for
some months. The aggregate of property
sold was unusually large.
Among the properties of Importance
that passed to new owners, under the
hammers of the auctioneers, were the
Government Hospital Bite, oi> Twelfth
street and Bull, the Jaeper Springs end
surrounding grounds; the old Hab rsham
house at Harris and Barnard streets, and
the Bacon residence, at Lincoln and
Gwinnett streets. Seventy-three thousand
three hundred and eighty dollars was
realized from the day’s sales.
Mr. Carlton C. Champion bought the
site of the Governmeht Hospital, contain
ing about twelve acres, fee $30,200. The
bidding on this property was quite epirlt
ed, though there were hut two bidders
who appeared sufficiently anxious to gain
title to It to pay the price it wars seen it
would bring. The second bidder was Mr.
T. Mayhew Cunningham, Jr., who mad;
the first offer under the call of Auction
eer Dorsett. His bid was $12,000. From
this point It was carried by successive
raises of SIOO to the price at which it was
finally knocked down to Mr. Champion,
Auctioneer I. D. Lnßoche sold the fif
teen acre tract of land upon which Jas
'per Springs and the brick residence ate
located for SIO,OOO. The purchaser ws
Mr. I. Liebman, of Atlanta. For $7,030 Mr.
Liebman also bought twenty-seven ard
a half acres of land situated Just across
the extension of Bay street frem the tract
containing the springs and residence.
These prices were thought to be good.
The sale of the Habersham residence
and the low price it brought we-e amettg
the surprises to the bidders and specta
tors. After some very desultory bidding
it was knocked down to Mr. W. D. Slm
kins for $6,200. Mrs. gimkins is one cf
the heirs of the estate and it is possible
that the sale to her hUßband was for the
purpose of protecting the estate, and that
the property will be pieced again on the
market. It" had been generally thou;ht
that the land upon which the building
stands was worth approximately the
price at which the property was sold.
Auctioneer Laßcche scld the residence
formerly occupied by the Bacon family,
at the corner of Gwinnett and Lincoln
streets, for $6,300. This is a very desira
ble piece of property, in a very desirable
neighborhood, ard 1$ well worth the mon
ty which the purchaser, Mr. Arthur Starr,
bid for it.
Mr. Dorsett sold to J. C. Brown a lot
on the northwest corner of East Broad
and St. James streets, Just south of An
derson, lor $3lO. Four lots on the corner
of East Broad and St. John street, in the
same neighborhood, were bid in by Mr.
Isaac Btckett, as agent, at a uniform
price of sllO each. A lot on Florence
street, near Seventh, wan bought by the
city of Savannah for *4lO, The purchase
was made for the city by Alderman Da
vid Wells. It. Is understood that the city
Intends to remove to this lot cqrtaln
houses it has had to purchase in opening
streets through this section.
Mr. S. L. Latarcn was the purchaser
cf a lot of land cn Anderson street, be
tween Bull and Drayton, for $990. The dot
Is only 22 feet wide," and It is probable
that Its narrow width caused its sale at
the very low price it brought, most pros
p clive house builders desiring more
room than the lot affords. Mr. Dorsett
sold the lot ef lard at 620 Bolton street,
west, having a frtnt feet on Bolton
street, and a rectangular depth of 105 fe?t,
for $l,lOO. The purchaser was Mr. J. T.
Wilensky. Tie* lot of land and improve
ments at 212 Duffy street, east, were sold
to Mr. Thomas L. Hill, attorney, for sl.-
8:0.
Two lots on Bolton street, near the
Meadows, were sold by Auctioneer Dor
sett to M. Egan for SIOO each. The lots
have a front of 23 feet on Bolton street,
and a rectangular depth of 73 feet.
Auctione< r Jrhn 1,. Archer sold the
property known as 19 Gordon street, west,
to Mr. C. FI. Rivers, for $5,400. The lot has
a front of 30 feet cn Gordon street, and
a depth of 100 feet to the lane. As tne
property rents for S7OO a year the pur
chaser e;ures a gross profit upon the
investment of about 12V4 per cent.
Auctioneer R. H. Tatem sold a lot at
the corner of Cuyler street end New
Houston lane to Mr. Isaac Beckett for
$320. Youmans & Demntond purchasel
from Mr. Tatem three lots of land in
North Kensington for $lO each. A let ef
land on West Sixth street, near Florence,
and a lot on Eleventh street, between
Bull and Drayton, each of the dlmensi ns
of thirty feet by a hundred, were fold to
J. Ditvann for $299 and $530. respectively.
Auctioneer La Roc he sold the p.op-rty
known as 502 and 504 Price street, oppo
site Gaston, with the two frame tene.
ment buildings situated thereon, to Cord
Asendorf, for $2,800. Auctioneer Archer
sold to Mr. <5. H. Rivers the property
known as 312 Waldburg street, east. A
frame budding Is situated on the prop r;y,
which brought $2,100.
Mr. Dorsett sold a one-half undivided
Interest In a tract of land, situated on the
Louisville road, and bounded cn the south
by the right of way of the Savannah and
Oyeachee canal, for $1,250. The tin t con
tains a trifle more than four acres; lta
purchaser was Mr. Solomon Sheftall. Mr.
Dorsett announced at the sale that hs
was authorized to offer the other undi
vided half Interest In the property for
$1,750.
A block of lots on King street, two
blocks beyond Twelfth, were offered and
sold by Auctioneer Archer. The block is
situated between Barnard and Whitaker
streets, and considering this location, the
price obtained for the lots was very low.
The corner lot was bought In by Solomon
Sheftall for $252.50, the second lot by the
same purchaser for $250, the third and
fourth by Arthur Starr, for $250 each and
the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth by
Mr. Btarr for $230.
Of the personalty offered, Capt. Henry
Blun bought forty-five shares of the cap
ital stock of the Planter*’ Klee Mill Com
pany at $Bl a share.
A SSOO bond of the city of Savannah was
purchased by Sam K. Platshek at 112>4.
The fact that so much property was to
he sold compelled the auotloneer to talk
and offer their bargains at the same time,
so that it was difficult for the uninitiated
to understand always nnd with clearness
Just what was going on. But for this
obstacle It is altogether likely that higher
prices would have been secured. Ah it
was, the real-estate men generally be
lieve the prices to have been good, with
some exceptions, nnd express themselves
as perfectly satisfied with the condition
of the market, as exemplified by the sale
as a whole.

Mr. J. McLaughlin Is the auctioneer.
Paintings and household furniture were
the principal articles sold. The bidding
was not very spirited, and many of the
things went for mere songs. It is prob
able that this will be the case to-day,
when, in addition to the furniture on the
upper floors, a great deal of china and
glassware will be sold. The first floor
was not left yesterday.

durirg the aft rnocn and evening. During
the reception the Bishop will be present
ed with a purse containing a handsome
donation.
The ladles cf the Cathedral congrega
tion are engaged in redtting the Bishop's
rooms at the episcopal residence, and put
ting them in shape fop occupancy. These
rooms were occupied by the late Bishop
Becker. As und, r the will of the late
Fishop hi3 successor was to'inherit all
of his personal belong ngs. the new Bish
op will find himse f quite handsomely
equlpp:d. Besides a large amount of
household gcods th late Bishop left a
numb r of handsome and valuable Jeweled
ointments and a splendid library.
The Savannahians who accompanied
Bishop Keiley to Richmond for
the purpose of attending his con
secration returned yesterday. Those
in the party were Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Mc-
Donough, Mr. M. A. G'Byrne, Mr. J. W.
Golden, Mr. F. F. Gleason and Mr. Arthur
J. O’Hara. The party returned in the
private car of Vice President Gannon of
the Southern Railway, which had been
placed at the disposition of the Bishop
for the trip. Bishop Keiley remained
with friends in Richmond, but it is ex
pected he will be here Friday,
The Savannahians are. enthusiastic over
the treatment they received in Richmond
and the manner In which the exercises
were conducted. Every detail had been
arranged beforehand, and the entire ser
vice was conducted with the most per
fect order. The consecration was a beau
tiful and impressive ceremony and one
which those who witnessed it will not
soon forget. There was quite a good
representation of Georgians, there being
parties from Atlanta, Augusta and Ma
con. as well as Savannah.
"The ceremony was a very impressive
one.” said Mr. P. F. Gleason. "Admis
sion to tbe Cathedral was by ticket only,
and these were in decided demand. The
Cathedral is not AO large as the one in
Savannah, and Is a much older structure.
Besides the Cardinal, the assistant consc
crators and the Bishop-elect, there were
four other bishops who took part. In ad
dition to these, there were twenty-five
priests and forty altor boys, and the
grouping of this large number of clergy
and assistants around the altar was very
effective. ”
Bishop Keiley was attired In Ihe vest
ments of the laEe Bishop Becker, except
rhat he did not wear at the beginning of
the service the large emerald ring left by
the late Bishop. Instead, he wore a
handsome amethyst ring, set with dia
monds, presented to him by a friend, a
Mr. Brennan of Richmond. Another
beautiful amethyst ring was presented
him by a Mr. Farrell of Baltimore.
Bishop Kelley did not fail to extend
an invitation to Cardinal Gibbons to be
present and take charge of tho dedication
of the new Cathedral this fall. It is ex
pected that the dedication will take place
some time in October. The Cardinal did;
not give a positive answer, but it is be
lieved that he will accept. The dedica
tion of the Cathedral will be made quite
an event with the Catholics of the city,
and the presence of the Cardinal will add
greatly to the eclat of the occasion.
The Savannahians were somewhat sur
prised to find that In a city the size of
Richmond no Monday morning papers are
published. Because of this fact they were
unable to bring back papers containing
accounts of the consecration.
