FOR SERVICES AT THE POLLS.
w. c. Workman and n. G. Norton, Jr.
Against Jonas MendeI.

Against Jonas MendeI.
Justice Samuel Reynolds heard the cases
yesterday afternoon of R. G. Norton, Jr,
and w. C. Workman against Jonas Men
del, treasurer of the Citizens Club. The
suit of the former was for $l5, and of the
latter plaintiff for So those sums being
the face of orders given the plaintiffs by
Citizens Club captains of precincts dur
ing the municipal election, on Mr.. Mendel
as treasurer of the clubs campaign fund.
Justice Reynolds heard the evidence in
the cases, but reserved his decision. The
plaintiffs were not represented by counsel
The defendants interests were looked
after by Mr.. A A. Lawrence.
The orders had been given one plaintiff
for work at the polls in the Nineteenth
precinct, and the other for services in the
Fifteenth precinct. When they were pre-
scented to Mr.. Mendel the day after the
election they were not paid. Suits were
then entered and two or three postpone
ments were made when the cases had
been set for trial. The counsel for the
defendant put in a plea that Mr.. Mendel
was not liable individually for the claims,
as the Citizens Club treas
urer. No. funds are in his hands
belonging to that organization, it is said,
and judgment in their favor in that case
would not do the plaintiffs much good.
The work done politically by the plaintiffs
was not questioned, nor was the right of
the precinct captains to give orders on the
treasurer.
II is not known what Justice Reynolds
decision will be, but it is thought it will
be for the plaintiffs.

ton of it was used in the Indian street

A MEMORIAL TO oeLETHoRPE.
SOUTH BROAD STREET RENAMED
IN HONOR OF GEORGIKs
FOUNDER.

OgIethOrpe Avenue the New Name of
one of Savannah's Old and Famous
streets-The Change Unanimously
Agreed 10 by the city COuncil-Al-
derman Charlton the Father of the
Ordinance Making the Change.
People who went to sleep on South Broad
street last night awoke this morning on
oglethorpe avenue. This remarkable
transition was accomplished by Alderman
Charlton, acting as chief magician, as
sisted by select company Of wizards,
beaded by Mayor Meldrim.
In other words, Alderman Charltons
ordinance to change the name of South
Broad street to Oglethorpe avenue was
adopted by council last night. The ordi
nance was introduced by Mr.. Charlton at
the previous session of council and the al
dermen have had two weeks to consider it.
Consequently they cannot be accused of
acting hastily. No petition against the
change I'm name was presented and conse-
quentiy the council had a right to believe
that the proposed change met with the APP
prevail of the public generally.
The adoption of the ordinance was pre-
coded by a few remarks by Alderman
Charlton, who said that the only objection
that had been advanced against the change
in name, so far as he was aware, was that
Savannah already had an Oglethorpe ave-
nue., and to give the same name to another
street would be confusing. So far as he
was aware, the alderman said the power
10 name the streets of Savannah or to
change the names of the streets, was vest
ed in the mayor and aldermen, and he

G. L. AS IN THE LEAD.
Defeated the Y. Nj. C. AS at Indoor
Ball IL to 4,

IL
Ball IL to 4.
The Catholic Library Association won
easily from the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION at indoor base ball last night
and strengthened the chances of the for
mer team for the pennant in the league
race.
This is the third straight game the c.
l.. A. team has won, and the boys are
naturally very jubilant over their splendid
showing, after having lost the first two
games they played.
The c. L. A. team is now at the head of
the procession, with the Y. M H. A. sec
and and the Y. M. c. A. third.
The galleries of the Y. NJ. C. A. hall
were uncomfortably crowded, and it looked
as if not another person could have been
squeezed in, though there is a popular
impression that there is always room
for one more"
The game was exciting all the way
through, and the crowd was enthusiastic
1t was about evenly divided, and both
teams were well represented by rooters.
George Armstrong and Alex Krenson,
umpired, alternating in calling the ball
and strikes and rendering decisions on
fouls and at the home plate, and while
there was little kicking in the early part
OF the game, there was no real dissatis-
faction expressed
As the score shows, the c.. L. A. team
played a better game in all particulars
than its opponents, but the Y. NJ. c. A.
boys put up good game and played hard
all the way through.
The playing of Bob Brady for the Lii
brary team was decidedly the feature of
the game. He made three runs, got three
hits-every one of which was in the gal
lery and for two bases-got one put out,
two assists and made no errors. This is
an excellent showing
The battery work of Horrigan and Sui
livan was good The Y M c. A. boys
could not hit Horrigan often, and when
they did land, there was c. L. A. man
ready to gobble it up. Sullivan was death
on foul tips and got the ball to the bases
very fast.
The score follows:

this recognition, 80 long delayed.
The story OF the evolution OF the royal
standard is interesting reading. For our
purpose IL is not necessary 10 go into de-
tail: suffice il TO say that when James VI
OF Scotland succeeded as James |. 20 the
throne OF England and to the throne OF
Ireland as well. he quartered the arms
borne by previous English sovereigns with
those OF Scotland and Ireland. the second
quarter being the lion rampant Of Scot
land, and the third the harp OF ireland.
The act OF union made no provision for a
special mode Of fnarshaling In Scotland.
But In Scotland the Scottish arms claimed
precedence in the Quarterings. occupying
the first and fourth quarters, while Eng
land was relesated TO the second. The Of
fetal seals of Scotland have uniformly
thus reversed the places OF England and
Scotland. On some Scotch state edi6ces
also We see the unicorn placed as the iex
ter supporter, while the lion rampant
gardant is relocated 10 the sinister side.
The royal banners OF England have a.
ways borne the same blazonry as the
royal shields. The English claim 10 the
crown OF France was represented by

OF the ancient British monarchy Of Wales
