8 “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 vltt, Chris 11.I 1 . Gray, Abraham E. Smith, Fo'omon Binswanger. Jacob E. Gutman, Max 1,. Byck, John W. Fret well. George H. Frltchard. Georg; G. Wt son, James McOrah, Oliver TANARUS, I-taccn, John J. Cummings, Julan C. King, C. Fraser h#v, Michael Cardan, and Charles Y. Richardson. 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 ty-three indictments were returned, the B£ouilautd ou Third Page.j AT ST. ANDREWS IN DARIEN. Mr. Harry 11. Baltimore sad Miss Elizabeth liontl Were Wedded. A beautiful wedding took place In St. Andrews Church at Darien, yesterday morning, uniting Hr. Henry Hays Latti more of Savannah- and Miss Elizabeth LeHardy Bond. Rev. Charles H. Strong, rector of St. John's Church, performed the ceremony. The church was crowded with the many friends of the young cou ple. The decorations were unusually beautiful, the chancel being massed with hot-house plants and cut flowers. White and green predominated. The font was filled with sweet-peaH of a delicate shade cf pink, while potted hydrangeas of pink and white, were Arranged about the lec tern ah& pulpit. The ushers were Mr. Joseph Bond of Savannah, Mr. James K. Clark, Jr.; Mr. John Clark and Mr. Richard D. Fox. The groom was acc mpanled by his brother Dr. Ralston Eattimore of Savannah, while the maid of honor was Miss Nannie Bond. The bride entered the church with her father, Mr, ■'Joseph ’Bond, and made a charming picture in her gown of fawn colored broadcloth. She wore a becom ing hat of fawn col*r, and carried a lovely bouquet of bride roses. The costume worn by the maid-of-honor, was of white organdie, with soft frills of lace, completed by a picturesque Leghorn hat, wreathed with pink roees. Her bouquet was of pink Malmaison carna tions. The music was particularly pretty. To the Mendelssohn’s wedding march, the bridal party left the church. The guests present from Savannah, were Mrs. B. D. Lattlmore, and Mr. William Baltimore, mother and brother of the groom, Mr. Sullivan Bond, o brother of the bride, and Miss Ellse Guerard. The bridal couple left on the morning train for Washington, and will spend several weeks traveling In the North be fore returning to Savannah.

Numbers of boeidsome gifts were received by the popular young couple, both in Darien and in Savannah. 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. HACK FROM RICHMOND. Mayor Myers Tells of Seaboard’s Finn! Ovation. Mayor Myers, Capt. D. G. Purse and Mr. C. D. Baldwin, who accompanied the Seaboard Air Line's party from Savannah to Richmond last week, returned to the city yesterday.

LAND WENT WITH A RUSH. PROPERTY AGGREGATING *7:1,380 WENT AT THE JUNE SALES. 1 v Government Hospital Site Sold to Carlton C. Champion for *20,200. Jnzper Spring* and Forty-two Acre* of Surrounding Land Drought sl*,<KW —Habernliam Man sion Wrnt for *o,2oo—lt NVnn One 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.

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. Don’t forget the sale of household good*, at 206 Harris street, west, at 11 this morning.— ad- YOING BROKER MISSING. Manager of Murphy A Co.’ Office Disappear*. W. C. Mathews, manager of the local office In the Board of Trade building of Murphy & Cos., the New York brokerage firm which does a large business in futures on cotton, grain and stocks throughout this section, has been missing since Satur day, and neither the agents of the firm nor the detectives who have been employ ed to locate him have been able to dis cover his whereabouts. Mathews had only been in Savannah about two months, succeeding former Manager Knox, and was not generally known outside of those who take an oc casional flyer”in cotton or stocks. His ab sence from the office was reported to the firm, and an agent arrived here yesterday to look into the matter. He was busy yesterday in going over the books. The only information given out was that the manager had absented himself, and that the Invest'gailon had not proceeded far enough is yet to show whether or not there had bceßa shortage. Rumors on the Bay, however, a-e to the effect that the shortage is between $3,000 and $4,000, and that It Is One to speculation in sugar stock, Mathe "s having gotten on the wrong side of the market. This must have been quite recent, a.- the auditor of the company was ti<re only a week ago. and round the ts oks In apparently good shape. Deteciive Si Basch has been employed on the case, but said last night that the only Information he could give was that Mathews had heft the city. It is known that Mathews bought a ticket to Wash ington and had his baggage checked to that city.* The baggage reached Washing ton, but Mathews did not, and has not done so as yet, so far as known. bargains at the sale. Some of the Articles That Were Solti at tl,e Habersham Home. Some great bargains were secured by those who attended the sale of effects at the Habersham home, corner of Harris and Barnard streets, yesterday afternoon. The sale was not concluded, os there is a long list of articles to be disposed of, and it will be resumed to-day at 11 o'clock. 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. The Van Dyke portrait of Henrietta Maria, which is In an excellent state of preservation, 'was bought by Miss Annie Comer for $276. The painting of the sal mon. which many admired more than the Van Dyke, w-as bought by Dr. Will iam Duncan, for $53. Mr. Carlton Champion bough* exten sively.

Capt. C. L. Chesnutt was Unanimously elected to fill the vacancy, and later in tho afternoon, began famil iarising himself with the details of his new office. As previously stated in the Morning News. Mr. Trenholm resigned to take a position with the Southern Naval Stores Company. General satisfaction was ex pressedl by business men after the meet ing over the election. Capt. Chesnutt Is well known among them, and his fit ness for the position was generally at tested. His close acquaintance with the business world brings him in close touch with the men who have dealings with the Board of Trade. The board has never Suffered for a gentlemanly end obliging Superintendent, and It Is certain not to suffer by the election of Capt. Chesnutt. ANOTHER lit A HA.M REPORT. Tho Major tins Keen Kept Busy Mak ing Dentals of Rumors. MaJ. Bradford Dunham, ex-general su perintendent ot the Plant System, has been made the subject of another report. This time the Jacksonville Metropolis comes forward with a story that President John Skelton Williams of the Seaboard Air Line Railway has named MaJ. Dun ham as genera! superintendent. Capt. “Bunch” Mtlße? looked happy enough when he was In Savannah a day or two ago with the Seaboard party, having none of the aspect of a man who was about to have his official head chopped off. Maj. Dunham has been kept busy for some months denying first or.e report and then another.

Catholics Will Express Their Pleas ure at the Elevation of Bishop Kelley—A Reception to Be Held at the Cathedral Friday Evening When a Handsome Perse Will Be Presented—The Savannah Party Returned From Richmond Yester dny—lts Members Greatly Pleased With Their Trip and the Manner In Which the Consecration Wan Conducted. A meeting of the friends of Bishop Kelley has bxn called at Catholic Library Hall to-night, for the purpose of making ariangements for a deception on his re turn here Friday, and of testifying In a substantial manner to the pleasure which 1 is people here f.el in his elevation to the Bishcprtc. The call is issued by the gen tlemen who accompanied the Bishop to Richmond, and who have Just returned. Although the notice is short, It is be lieved that there wiil be a large attend ance of the Catholics of the city, and doubtless some few of those not included in the Bishop's fold. It is proposed to have a committee meet the Bishop at the depot on his arrival Friday afternoon, which will escort him to the episcopal res idence. A reception to all the Catholics of the oily and the frl-nds of the Bishop generally will be held at the Cathedral 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. Death of Little J. H. Gaynor, Jr. The friends of Mr. and Mrs. John Gay nor will regret to learn of the death of their Infant son, John H., Jr., which oc curred early yesterday morning from ma larial fever. The funeral will take place this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock from the family residence, No. 320 Williamson street, west. The Interment will be In the Cathedral Cemetery.
