TOO MANYDoGs AT LARGE.

A Chance for Dog Catchers to Grow
Wealthy and the City Better on
Thedog season is on. So far close to 800 dog
licenses have been issued by Clerk Of Coun-
Gil Rebarer. After this week the owners OF
dogs who have not paid the tax VIII be put
on the information docket and fined $40. II
all the dogs whose owners do not pay the
dog tax are made subject 70 the law, the
CITY will be richer by several bhousands OF
dollars or it will be- rid of as many worth
less CANNES.
dog law. The city ordinances are very plain
CONCERNING the taxing of dogs and their
muzzling during the months OF June, July
August and September. The ordinance re-
curing the muzzling Of dogs reads:
1t shall not be lawful for any dog or dogs to
| run at large within the corporate limits OF the
/ city without being securely muzzled, after the
! fl SC day Of June. IN each aud every year until
the first day of the succeeding october, and 1t
shall be the duty of the members Of the police
force, under regulations to be fixed by
the chief Of police, to cause all I'M
nuzz.ei dogs so running at
large to be killed or caught where the latter
may be easily done; when killed to have
their bodies at once moved beyond the corpor-
ate limits, and when caught, TO impound them
for twenty-fOur hours, and if they are not
called for and redeemed by the payment OF a
Zee Of 81 TO be disposed Of by the most expei IL
tious method.
The next section Of the Code prescribes as
follows:
No dog shall be permitted 10 go at large
within the city. unless he has around his neck
collar with the owners name plainly
engraved thereon; and if any dog shall be
discovered at large without being so muzzled
and without a collar, the owner OF such dog
shall pay a sum of s. for each aud every such
offense; and If any person be bitten or inj lred
BY any dog running at large or without the In
closure OF his owner, the owner or the in
dividual in whose inclosure SUCH dog is usually
Kept shall be fined in sum not exceeding $50
The ordinances do not prescribe the man
ner of disposinR Of such dogs as are required
to be got out of the way. Usually they are
drowned. Various cities have varI-
GUS ways OF dog execution.
All cities have some kind of law against
dogs. Dogs are nuisance and a great
convenience, and many times of great ser
vice. 1t appears, however, that public
safety and a seeming periodical fear Of mad
dogs found In the streets at large and not
muzzled, create a conviction that they
should be dispensed with very briefly.
The dog catchers Of San Francisco, for
instance are provided with a huge wagon.
with iron frame, in which the dogs are
placed. They are hauled TO the shore
where long incline has been provided. |
The frame is removed from the wheels aad
placed on the slide down the incline and Is
allowed TO launch out into the sea and re-
main until the unfortunate CANNES are dead. /
The dog catchers in Savannah do not /
grow rich from dog catching. but they |
might if the dog laws were enforced.

SHORT CUTTERS BEWARE.

Alderman Bailey's Ordinance Against
Walking on Grass Plats
Alderman Bailey's ordinance prohibiting
walking on the grass in squares and on paved
street plats will be voted upon at the next
meeting of council.
The ordinance provides that the grass
plats made necessary by the paving of
streets be taken charge Of by the street and
lane committee and kept in order. This is
done on account of the action Of some peo-
pie, In front of whose houses the plats have
been made, refusing to plant grass or keep
them In order, thereby practically running
the appearance of the adjoining plats.
The ordinance also prohibits people from
walking on these plats or across the square
plats. The penalty for violation is gas fine
or thirty days in jail, or both in the discre-
ton of the mayor,
The sentiment among the aldermen /,
strongly in favor of the ordinance, and il
will probably become law.

WANTS THE LAW REPEALED.
Capt. j. p. Whites Remedy for Promis
cuous Pistol Carrying.

Capt. ]. p. Whites Rem edy for Promis-
cuous Pistol Carrying.
Capt J. P. White. one Of the best-known
dealers in firearms in this section, is not in
favor of Assistant Chief of Police
Killourhy's scheme to remedy pistol carry
ing.
1.-THE only feasible remedy" he said, sis
to repeal the law against carrying con
cealed weapons, and let everybody have the
right to carry pistol, but at the same time
pass a law to regulate use, making it a
penitentiary offense for any one to flourish
pistol, point it another or use 1t other wise
than in self-defense. This is the law In
vogue in England, and it works admirably.
1.-THE law against carrying concealed
weapons" continued Capt. White, lis Of
practically little use. The negroes and
tough classes generally carry them any
how, and the only effect is that the law-
abiding portion Of the community is left at
the mercy of those who have no respect for
law or anything else. Take New York, for
instance. There people are allowed to
carry pistols by permit costing
$3.50 Nobody takes out these permits
except watchmen. collectors of money and
agents whose business requires them to
carry large sums of money. Only COO per-
mits have been granted. but I'll venture to
say that so. 900 pistols are carried there by
respectable gentlemen every day. They do
50 for self-protection, and the hard charac-
ters know this and let them alone. If the
men Of New York did not carry pistols
they would be liable to be robbed on the
streets In broad daylight
"High license" added Capt. White, will
not stop people from buying firearms, nor
any registry scheme that can be devised,
either. What is there to prevent a man
from sending to Augusta, Charleston, New
York, or anywhere else aud have pistol
sent by express. There is a law now on the
statute books preventing dealers in Georgia
from selling firearms to minors, and as far
as Savannah is concerned l believe
it is respected. 1t doesn't prevent the
boys from getting pistols, though. They
send to New York and other points and get
them whenever they please. No law which
Georgia passes can prevent person from
getting pistol through the express In an
original package. The effect of high
license in this matter would take money out
of the cities and throw the frearm business
into the hands Of monopoly.
IF the legislature wants to reform the
firearms business" said Capt. White, "let
1t remove the restriction on carrying
weapons, but have stringent law on their
use"

KNOCKEDDOWNBYTHUGS
j. R. SMITH WAYLAID ON BARNARD
STREET AND LEFT IN A DiTOa.

His Head Cut Open and an Internal
Fracture Of the Skull Feared-The
Wounded Man Unable to Give an Ac-
count of the Assault-The Character
of His Notwithstanding Heard Of His
Assailauts.
]. R. Smith. about 30 years old. was way
laid last night by an unknown party on
Barnard street near Duffy and was knocked
down and seriously injured. He received q
cut in his forehead over two inches long,
which laid the flesh bare to the skull He
also had bruise under his left eye. Three
bricks, one of which was sharp-pointed
were found close to where Smith lay and It
is most likely they were the instruments
used to iuflict the wounds.
About $50 o'clock some passers-by
noticed man lying on the sidewalk, groan-
ing as il in great pain. match was
struck and Smith was found with his head
lying in pool of blood. Policeman Rus
sell was notified, and sent a telepho mes
sage to the barracks for the ambulance.
When it arrived the wounded man had
partially recovered from the shock and
asked to be taken to Lubs' store on sims
street. saying that he would be looked after
there. The officer in charge or the amou-
lance drove him to the place, ana Luos sald
be lived at Isle of Hope. He would not
take him In.
Smith was then taken to the office of DR..
Comm. When he arrived there his face
was covered with blood, and the left eye
was greatly swollen and discolored. Dr.
Comm in jected morphine into the wounded
mans arm and made an examination OF his
wounds He pronounced his condition
serious, and, after putting eight stitches in
the forehead cut, had him taken TO st.
Joseph's Inirmary.
During the dressing Of his wounds at DR..
Gomm's Office Smith had severe chill. and
appeared to be in very weak condition.
The physician was unable to say whether
or not the skull was fractured. From the
superficial examination there was no ap-
parent fracture, but DR.. Comm said the
wound was such that an internal fracture
might have ensued. This cannot be de-
termined until to-day
The entire affair is shrouded in mystery.
No disturbance Of any kind was heard by
those living in the neighborhood The as.
sault upon Smith must have been by az
enemy, as no apparent attempt was made
to rob him. He was unable to give any ac-
count of the affair himself, except that he
had been knocked down while walking
Hlong the sidewalk.
