WORK FOR TIE CITY COURT.
Return Day Brings in a Number Of
Damage Suits.

About $50 Filed With Clerk Bal
ley Yesterday-Several Suits to
Recover From Subscribers to Chat
ham Brewing Company Stock-The
Electric Railway Company Will
Have Its Hands Full With Damage
suits-Fannie Cannon Wants 5000
For Personal Injuries.
When Judge MacDonell returns to the
city he will find the docket for the No
vember term full and overhowing. If
there were one suit filed yesterday there
was one hundred and fifty, and Clerk
Bailey says that estimate is a mild one
Most of these suits, however, are suits
on accounts, notes, for rent, and other
such actions for failure to pay debts,
which may be decided by the court to be
just or unjust.
Among them, however, We're number
of damage suits such as have been piling
up in the archives of the court for the
last month, all waiting a hearing at the
November term. There are liable to be
other suits of the same kind filed in cases
where parties are willing to waive the
time of filing, and the probability is that
the work before the city court is not all
on record yet.
