names appear to have been left out in the
prayer for subpoena.
The judge reserved his decision in the
case of Wheelwright & Co VS.. the Ma
tional Bank Of Brunswick, argument on
the motion to remand it to Glynn superior
court having been concluded Yesterday
morning. He ordered, however, that the
defendants be given five days in which to
give a bond for 81, coo to answer anv iudq-
ments in the case. Lumber valued at
$4,000 is held by the bank as a security
for debt of 81, 100, and in default of the
making of such bond the plaintiff is given
the right to make bond and to take pos
session of the property.
A verdict Of ~, 1888 16 was found for the
defendant in the case of G. ODER & Sons
VS.. J. L. Bell, the amount claimed on some

TIE CONTEST STOPPED.
Judge Falligant Restraints Justice
Reynolds From Hearing Evidence.

Reynolds From Hearing Evidence.
The contest of the recent Warsaw cleo
ton began yesterday morning at 10O'cloclz
and went along nicely until 3 o'clock in
the afternoon, when an order from Judge
Falligant brought the proceedings to an
abrupt termination
All the Inhabitants of Thunderbolt
were in attendance at the Justices court.
Maj. Meldrim was on hand to represent
MIR. AmbOs and others, who brought the
contest, and Gignilliat & Stubbs were
there to resist the contest The
hearing opened up with the filing of
objections on behalf of the COM
missioners that Justice Reynolds had no
jurisdiction, and that the only proper
tribunal for the hearing of the contest
would be the town commissioners. Con-
siderable argument followed between the
attorneys, after which Justice Reynolds
decided he had a right to hear the evi-
dence, as he was not to pass upon the
merits of the case.
Mr.. Gignilliat next objected on the
ground that from information he had OBJ
tanned Justice Reynolds was interested in
the result of the contest on account of
having participated in the election.
IN justadjOurn court for two seconds"
said Justice Reynolds, ito say that any
one who made such a statement as you
cite gave utteranCe to a falSehoOd."
The case was ordered on after the
justice expressed himself and continued
until about o'clock with the examina-
ton of those who had voted as to their
property right of franchise. at that
hour Gignilliat s. Stubs, on behalf of w.
T. F'ennell, J. j. Somers, j. a. Shepherd,
}. A. Sawyer and F. l. LaRoche, went be-
fore Judge Falligant with a petition for
prohibition against Justice Reynolds on
the ground that justice of the peace has
no jurisdiction under the statute to act in
a contest. They also alleged that Justice
Reynolds aided and Allotted the election
IN behalf of Mr.. Ambos, and had a per
sonal interest in the outcome of the con
test. Judge Falligant promptly issued
an order restraining Justice Reynolds
from further action in the case and or
dered him to show cause this morning at
10 o'clock why the rule nisi as prayed for
should not be granted

CLEVELAND IN THE CARNIVAL.
The Presidents Counterpart Takes
Peep at King Proteus.

A feature of the May week carnival,
which, although not one of the "Visions
of Morse Land" attracted almost as much
attention, was the review of the carnival
procession by President Cleveland, or at
least one who looked so much like him at
a distance that few people could say that
1t was not the President.
A carriage drawn by two handsome
white horses and with driver in livery,
preceded by a bugler on horseback, and
with liveried footmen, drove out Bull
street to the park in advance of the car
nival parade and was seen by thousands
OF people. The carriage returned to the
DE Soto and the party reviewed the pro
cession as it passed.
The turnout attracted wide attention
and was commented upon as a feature
OF the display. The only thing to
indicate that it was not part of the car
nival were the blankets on the horses
which read, the Falk Clothing Company.
1t was the intimation of this exhibit
which caused the announcement in the
MORNING News Thursday that Cleveland
would review the procession. the account
OF it being inadvertently omitted in yes

LOOKING BACKWARD.
May Week and the Crowds That
Visited Savannah.

Visited Savannah.
The crowd in the city during this week
was not so large as was anticipated,
which was probably due to the fact that
the weather played havoc with the pro-
gramme for the first part of the week.
An estimate of 5000 to 900 people will
cOverthe visiting crowd pretty well. The
hotels accommodated about 8, 500 guests
during the four days and there were just
about as many more taken care of by
boarding houses and by their friends.
The universal verdict was that Carnival
day eclipsed all others i'm the successful
manner in which the carnival was carried
out.
Everybody who spoke of the parade
and the fireworks display yesterday, said
IL was by far the best feature OF the cele-
bratiOn. A gentleman who has long been
n resident Of New Orleans said that the
floats cqualed those Of any Mardi Gras
parade he had ever seen.
1t has been suggested that the carnival
feature of May week be made permanent,
and that hereafter the energies of the as
SOciation be devoted to making it the
grand feature. For instance, several
thousand dollars could be put into fire
works and the carnival parade be made
more extensive, ana this attraction well
advertised would draw the largest crowds
from all parts of the surrounding cOun-
try. Then such attractions as excursions
to Tybee and Thunderbolt could be put
on without cost to the association, which
could devote all its energies to making
big success of Carnival day.
Capt. ID. G.. Purse, president of the
May Week Association, and Vice
President Theus and their assist
ants worked indefatigably to make
the celebration a success and
they succeeded. Capt. Purse devoted
liminary work and the actual manage
ment Of the celebration, and to his untir-
ing e1forts much Of It's success is due.
