A List Of Failures for the Past
Week.

There were 132 failures in the United
States reported to BradstTest's during the
past week, 10 less than the preceding week,
and 50 more than the corresponding week
last year. The Middle States had IS, an in
crease Of 5; New England States Is, de
crease of s; Southern States 19, decrease
Of 8; Western States 80, a decrease Of 10;
California and the Territories "a. an increase
Of 9; Canada and the provinces s, decrease

The street Lamp Contract.

To dispel any Misrepresentation that may
exist about the street lamp contract, l
would say there are five nights preceding
and including night Of a full moon, in
which the lamps are not to be lighted
Should the weather obscure the moon dur
ing these nights of course the street lamp
contractors are the ones to be held
responsible for it. The contract
with the city authorities is such
that it may not be lightly set
aside. At the time the contract was made
the city authorities insisted on certain
clauses which the contractors regarded as
being very onerous on them, and in vain
did they seek their modification, and now,
having complied with them, they believe
and will so maintain that these clauses are
ample to protect the city, and should gov
ern IN any differences that may arise be-
tween them. Another consideration: At
the very outset the contractors were
met with unanticipated and burdens0me
obstacles, costing them very large expen-
diture of money, yet wi bout any expense
to the city, and as their only chance for
profit is in the remaining four months Of
their term, certainly they should not now be
deprived of this. The city, and citizens
generally, have received direct and indirect
benefits from the introduction CT these
lights of such a substantial character, that
it does seem the imperfections arising
solely from unreliable labor-and such as
have not and cannot materially damage any
one-should receive some slight allowances

KonI.vtIIs a fortunate City.

This city has been singularly fortunate,
as several citizens have of late gotten small
fortu mes in drawing prizes In the lottery.
The last fortunate one is Mr.. William W.
Irwin, clerk in the Auditors Office Of the
L. q. N.RR., Second ard Main streets.
Mr.. Irwin yesterday, while working in the
offiae, received an officisllooking document
bearing the n. 0. postmark, and discovered,
to his great Joy, official notification that he
had drawn one-fifth of $4,000 in the
Louisiana State Lottery, amounting to
$4,000. The lucky ticket was No. S5,0O3.
Some time ago Mr.. Irwin purchased his first
lottery ticket,v very nearly the number which
then drew the capital prize. He then
thought he would try again, and this time
produced such golden results. Mr.. Irwin is
q middle-aged man, married, and has 8
small family. He has been connected with
the L. & N. for several years, and has been
a faithful worker, and many friends are
profuse in their congratulations

RefnForcements on cred for the Guy
Ter swamp Brigade.

Yesterday morning Judge John f. Shep-
psrd and Judge Hampton c. Parker, Of
Liberty county, arrived in the city for the
purpose Of comforting with the Board Of
County Commissioners Of Chatham in
regard to an important matter. They have
charge Of the convicts of Liberty county,
and. as there is at present no work
unon which this labor can be probably
EMPLOYED, the convicts are heavy expe nse
To the county. These gentlemen, therefore,
came to Savannah for the purpose OF making
. proposition to our Board Of Commissioners
totake charge of the Liberty county convicts
and employ them upon the CuYler swamp
canal. Thus Chatham will secure the labor
~ these cOnvicts and Liberty will be re-
Heved Of the expense Of feeding and caring
for them. As it is not proposed to ask any
COMPENSATION for the cOnvicts, the
arrangement would appear to be
a very desirable one, provided
the Commissioners can utilize addit onal
labor on the canal to advantage. The
Gentlemen had q consul tatiOn with Colonel
r I'D. Walker, Chairman Of the Board, yes
rerdsv. and it is understood the matter VIII
he presented for the consideration OF the
Commissioners at their next meeting.

The Funeral Of Mr.. James Sc Mum
nePIYn.


The remains of Mr.. james s. MunnerlyD,
whose sad death st Gainesville on Friday
last has been mentioned, arrived here on
the Central Railroad train yesterday morn
inc and were conveyed to the residence of
Col. Geo. 6. Owens, on State street The
funeral took place yesterday afternoon at
half past four o'clock from Christ Church,
and was very largely attended by relatives
and frends and by Ancient Landmark
Lodge No. 231, F. A. NJ, of which he
was a member. The services were
conducted by Rev. Thomas Boone,
rector of Christ Church. The pallbearers
were Messrs. r. II. 4OOtman and James l..
TAYLOR from the MasOns, Messrs. John VII
hanson, Jr., W. W. Williamson, K q.
Erwin and B. Lloyd Owens. The casket
containing the remains was covered with
the most beautiful flowers.
After the services at the church the
funeral cOTtege proceeded to the Laurel
Grove Cemetery, where the interment took
place. The religious service was concluded
by Rev. Mr.. Boone, and the Masons
then formed around the open grave
and the impressive Masonic ceremony was
very feeiInglY read by DR.. William Duncan,
S. W, and Acting Lsster Of the Lodge, fol
lowed by the grand honOrs Gf the order. A
ousrtette, composed of Professor Charles :.
Mal!stte, Messrs. P. H. Ward, f. E. Re
barer and Z. T. Harden, very effectively
sang the hymn, "Thy WIN be Done," and at
the close rendered with exquisite pathos the
Masonic ode.
The grave was then filed up and the new
mound which covered all that was mortal OF
q loving husband and father, true friend,
aud amiable, ehiEalric gentleman, was soon
concealed beneath the PTSf1siOn of choice
fOWers aud lovely designs, the silent trib
utes OF remembrance from sincere and sor-
rowing friends.
The particulars of the accident which re-
suited II his sad death have not as yet been
correctly understood. As stated, Mr.. Nun
nerlyn was staying with his family at Col.
Owens place at Gainesville. Ga the place
was a colt which Is particularly vicious,
though a fine bred animal. Mr. Munnerlyn
took fancy TO the colt, and, being very
excellent hOrseman, he concluded TO ride
him. On Friday afternoon he mounted the
animal snd started down a road which pass
ed through tie woods. The horse was in
full run, and in jumping over tree that
had fallen across the road Brought Mr..
Munnerlgn's head in contact with large
limb Of another trse that was suspended
across the road at an angle o. about forty
five degrees. This limb struck him on thS
Left temple indicting an ugly injury, and
throwing him backward from the saddle.
He struck on the back part OF the head,
fracturing the skull at the base OF the brain.
He was conveyed TO the house and lived
several house, and was conscious to the last.
