IN THE CITY COURT.
Judge MacDone1 Puts an End to an
Organ Installment Scheme.


J. R. Stevens was on trial in the city
court yesterday on charge of cheating
and swindling. 1t seems that he had
gone to several parties and stated that
he would, on the payment of 50 cash, give
them SOS organ, for which they could
pay at the rate of 81 month
From several parties he collected 81 80
and never went back to get the balance
of the 50 or to deliver the organ. Ste
vens was prosecuted by May johnson
and one or two others whom he had col
lected from. He was sentenced to serve
six months on the chain-gang, but Judge
MacDOnell agreed to suspend the SEN
tence if he would return all the money
he had collected from different parties
in part payment of the first installment
on the organs which never came.
On one accusation Bob Mordecai was
fined 800 or six months for selling lottery
tickets, and a second against him on the
same charge was nolle pressed. Dick
Joplin got SO fine or one month for as
saulting and beating Solomon Taylor
Annie Rayford was sentenced to pay
fine of $25 or serve four months for as
saulting and beating Mary Jones.
There were two accusations against
Jacob Russell for carrying concealed
weapons. On one he was sentenced to

during his good behavior.
George Simmons was given q fine of sos
or three months on the gang, for stealing
100 bundles of green oats from w. p. Pen
nington. Ernest Colley and Robert

sEvENTY-sEooND CONVENTION.
EpiscopaIian Delegates TO Meet at
Griffin This Week.

The seventy-second annual convention
of the Episcopal church in the diocese of
| Georgia will be held at St Georges
church in Griffin, beginning Wednesday,
May 10, and continuing three days. The
I preliminary meeting will be held in Crit
J I'm Tuesday night. May Is, and the
Womans Auxiliary and Board of Mis-
siOns will convene on the morning fol-
lowing.
The Brotherhood of St. Andrew will
meet Wednesday morning for the organ
ization of a state council, and it will then
| adjourn over until Friday night, which
has been set aside for the regular broth
erhood night. Lieut.. &. b. Satterlee,
who is diocesan secretary of the brother
hood will be in attendance on the con
vention. Messrs. Edward 5. Elliott and
3. f. EInney will represent the Christ
Chapter at the organization meeting Of
the brotherhood, and the other chapters
Will probably also send delegates.
The organization Of St. Andrew s Broth
erhood throughout the state will be due,
in large measure, to the efforts of the
Christ church chapter, by which com
mittee was appointed with Mr..
Owens to work the matter up. The com
mittee has been in correspondence with
chapters throughout the state, and
almost all chapters have promised to send
delegates to Griffin and take as active an
interest as is possible in permanent state
organization.
Christ church will be represented at the
convention by Messrs. II. G. Cunning
ham, Walter G. Charlton and B. F. Fin
ney, as delegates, with Messrs. +. S.
Elliott, w. r. Leaken and J. J. Wilder as
alternates. The delegates to the conven-
tion from ST. Johns church will be Mr..
David Wells, Col J. Fl. Estill, from the
vestry, and Mr.. DeBruyn Hops from the
congregation, all of whom have the priv
lege of appointing alternates. Mr. G..
Monroe Royce, the assistant rector of
Christ church, will attend the convention.
Rev. j. j. Lanier will attend from ST.
Paul's church.
There are several matters of importance
to come before the convention of the
church. Among others is the election of
a treasurer of the diocese to fill the posi-
ton left vacant by the death of Mr.. J. S.
Davidson, of Augusta. Amendments to
the canon will also be in order, and some
provisions with regard to the delinquent
parishes will probably be adopted, as
there was committee left over from the
last convention to report on this matter.
Another subject of interest is the pro-
posed cathedral in Atlanta, to build which
the bishop wishes to take the vested
funds of the diocese together with
moneys raised from other sources. There
will probable be considerable contention
on this point, as the income from the
vested fund of the diocese is used for
charitable purposes, such as aiding the
widows and orphans of deceased clergy
men.

PREPARING FOR IT'S CONCERT
The Festival Choral Society Doing
Good Work.


Good Work.
The last rehearsal of the Festival Cho-
raj Society was thoroughly enjoyed by
those who took part, as well as by many
visitors Mr.. w. n. Smith, the director,
having returned from Florida, much re
cuperated in health and himself again,
has resumed his work with his old time
spirit, and held the attention of the
singers closely. His drill was most ex-
cellent and showed thorough appreoia-
ton and mastery of the music studied.
Mendelssohn's chorus, HE Watching
Over Israel, " from the great oratorio of
Elijah, was taken up for the first time,
and, although full of difficulties and close
in harmony, requiring delicate shading
and pure intonatlon yet it was almost
read at sight, and was most creditably
rendered
Other choruses were given in good
style and with charming effect
From a musical standpoint the results
accomplished in the brief time since the
organization of the society, are not only
| gratifying. but almost marvellous. This
will be made apparent to the public at
| the coming concert, which is shortly to
| be given. A large attendance is expected
at the rehearsal tomorrow night, at
| which other new music will be taken up.

A PISTOL CONTEST.
A Number of Entries for the Pistol
Clubs Shoot This Week.

n IOE Inc E4ANOA
Clubs Shoot This Week.
The Savannah Pistol Club will have its
first shoot some time during the early
part of this week at Wheelmen's park.
The event was to have taken place Just
after the military contests held at the
park week before last, but, owing to the
lateness of the hour when that was fin
ished Saturday afternoon, it was post
poned until a later date.
Arrangements have been made for quite
a lively contest. and there will probably
be strong effort to make good individual
records. The contestants are to be
allowed twenty shots each at the fifty
yard pistol range. There are two prizes
to be awarded, one handsome gold medal
which was given to the club by Nr. B.
II. Levy, and the other the medal offered
by the association The entries so far
are DIR. J. d. Martin, Messrs. A S. Eich-
berg. j. c. Postell, f. G.. Wilson, c.. S.
Richmond and J. p White, but there
will be number Of others in the shoot.
There is another rife shoot on the tapis
which is also to be under the auspices of
the Savannah Rife Association The
success of the last shoot. although it was
confined to home contestants, has created
the desire for another contest, and ar
engagements will be made for 1t far enough
in advance this time to get good teams on
the field from other sections Of Georgia
and from the surrounding states. 1t is
believed that if more time is given to the
matter much interest can be worked up
in such a contest In many of the shoot
ing organizations in this section.
