patch 10 the Morning News received last
night:

Savannah on May Y TO participate in the
interstate drill and rifle contest held in
that city during the May week festival.

perhaps longer. They are very DESTROYS
of coming, and have about made arrange
ments to come over and enter the cadet
contest.

TO co AHEAD WITH PAVING.
AbercOrn and Habersham Streets to
Have Brick Pavement.

Have Brick Pavement.
Mayor Myers said yesterday that the
city will probably go ahead and pave
Abercorn and Habersham streets, between
South Broad and Liberty streets, at once
with vitrified brick, as advocated by the
Morning News.
This viii give the people an opportunity
to form some idea of the merits of vitri-
fed brick as a paving material before
the question of brick or asphalt for South
Broad street is decided.
When the paving of South Broad street
and these portions named Of Abercorn
and Habersham streets was decided upon
by council, ordinances were adopted for
each street. The amendment introduced
at the last meeting by Alderman Garrard
and now pending before council TO SUBJ
stitute asphalt for Vtrified brick, applies
only to the ordinance for paving South
Broad street. and was so reported in the
Morning News the day following This
leaves the public works commissioner to
proceed with the paving of AbercOrn and
Habersham streets with vitritied brick.
Commissioner Willink informed a Morn
ing News reporter yesterday that this was
his understanding, and he is making his
preparations accordingly.
The work of putting in the curbing on
Abercorn street and moving the catch ba-
sins to the new curb line was begun
yesterday, and the curbing for Habersham
street is also on the ground. Commission
er Wlllink said that he will make his
tests of the samples OF brick furnished
him by the manufacturers in a few days.
He will report the result to council with
recommendations as to the brick regarded
by him as most suitable. The council
will probably act at once In order that
the work of paving the portions of Aber-
corn and Habersham streets described
may proceed without delay
The curbing for South Broad street will
also. be put in place within the next few
weeks.

KNOCKED THE JUSTICE DOWN.
Policeman McHugh in Trouble on
Account of "a Fountain Pen.

Justice Charles Goldman and Policeman
Martin AicHugh have little
difference on hand. The trou-
BILE started about fountain pen.
which Policeman McHugh took from
Constable Dan Kiley few night ago. The
pen was taken in joke, of course. Mon
day morning however, Kiley went to JUS
tice Goldman and insisted on swearing out
a warrant for McHugh for the theft of the
pen. Justice Goldman did not want to is
sue the warrant, but as kliey insisted, he
finally issued a possessory warrant and
placed ii in the hands of Cons table Simon
ONeill. The latter met Policeman Nc
Hugh and told him of the warrant, when
the latter promptly handed over the pen
He naturally felt indignant at the imputa-
tion on his honesty, and meeting Justice
Goldman Monday night engaged in a dis
cussion with him about the warrant.
Some words passed, when Justice Coll
man told AlcHugh that he was no good. q"
McHugh responded by knocking the JUS
tiee down. Detective Godbold. who was
present, arrested McHugh at the request
of Justice Goldman. No charges were pre-
ferred at the barracks, however.
Justice Goldman said yesterday that he
had not decided what action he would
take. He might either make a docket
case against McHugh or he might present
charges against him to the commissioners.
Friends are endeavoring to patch the mat

MUST PAY THE FINE FIRST,
Before Police Cases Can BE Taken
to the Superior Ceurt.

Before Police Cases Can BE Taken
to the Superior Ccart.
Since the passage Of the legislative act
doing away with appeals from the police
court to council some difference of opin-
ion has arisen as to whether fines i'm
posed in the police court must be paid
before the cases can be certioraried to the
superior court
Before the passage of this act parties
who had been fined in the police court
could give bond to secure the fines and
to the superior court, however, required
the payment of the fines before the cases
could be certioraried.
Clerk of Council Manucy has held to the
view that the payment of fines is now re-
Quired before defendants can certiorari
their cases to the superior court. He re-
for his opinion recently. Mr.. Adams re-
piled that under section 1850 of the code, it
is necessary for a fine imposed by the
police court to be deposited in the treasury
of the city to abide the final decision of
the case before the cert.orari can be al
lowed. Mr.. Manucy inquired If there was
any provision for pauper affidavit by a
party claiming to be unable to pay his
fine. Mr.. Adams replied that there was
no such provision.
The law works a hardship in a way
which was evidently not intended. OF the
several cases of violation of the law
against Sunday liquor selling before him
recently Recorder Wilson sentenced some
of the offenders to thirty days in Jail with
out the option of a fine. while Others We're
sentenced to pay $50 or spend thirty days
in jail the former sentence being intended
as the more severe.
The parties who were sentenced to thirty
days in jail simply gave bond and appeal
ed their cases to the superior court, while
those who were given the option of a fine
were compelled TO pay over the amount
before they could certiorari their cases
One of the defendants has informed the
clerk of council that if this requirement
is enforced he will have to go to jail, as
he Is unable to raise the 500 to deposit
with the city treasurer, in order TO GER

THE PARK EXTENSION.
How the Parade Ground Came Into
the MIIItary's Possession.

The status Of the park extension, or
what IS popularity known as the parade
ground, is not generally understood, and
d WILL therefore, not be out Of place 70
give the history Of it.
Prior 10 1870. when the United States
barracks were completed on the lot which
the De Soto now stands, the United States
troops were stationed at the United States
cantonment, consisting OF several wooden
structures. half a mile out Of town, Lib
erty street being at that time the city's
southern limit.
The cantOnment stood on the northern
end OF the government property, contain
ing a square Of 225z acres. bounded on the
north by what is now Gwinnett street, on
the east by Whitaker street extended, on
the south by Duffy street, and on the west
hy Montgomery street. Between 1870 and
ls55 this plat OF ground was common,
and at the close Of 1871. or the beginning
OF 1885, an application, signed by the cap
tains and the leutenants OF the several
volunteer companies of the city. was made
10 congress for the 22iz acres for parade
ground, and the petition was reported on
favorably by the committee 10 which II
was referred and bill passed congress
giving the title Of the land to the city as
trustee for the use OF the companies pc
ttioning. all of which are now under the
same organiza lions and in line, except the
DeKaib Riflemen. The Cadets have been
added to the military since the donation
OF the land TO the military companies.
ners OF the land donated, and the land
was used as a parade ground. In 1871 or
1858 the city made proposition to eX-
change the twenty acres south OF For
syth park for the twenty-five and one
half acres Of old cantOnment property,
which the military companies accepted
The cannon were removed, streets were run
through 1t, lots were sold and dwellings
erected on the old government property
and the military companies entered into
possession OF the present parade ground
Capt. Law of the Chatham Light In
fantry, colored called at the Morning
News office last night and stated that
II was not his intention when he marched
his company into the Park extension Mon
day afternoon TO interfere in any way
with the memorial exercises at the con-
federate monument. AS soon as Police
Sergt. killourhy notified him to stop the
playing Of his band he did so. and he
said If he had known that the playing
interfered with the exercises he would
have stopped IL before Capt. Law said
If 1t Is fact that the colored military
must obtain permission from the white
military before parading in the Park ex-
tension he would not have gone there.
Capt. Laws company was celebrating its
anniversary and had paraded through the
streets and intended to wind up in the
parade ground.

would run any risk Of ioosiug his posi-
