Seventeen Get Badges For Atten-
dance at Company Gatherings.
Seventeen medals were awarded last
night at the meeting of the Savannah Ca
diets, for 100 per cent averages in attend
ance at company meetings during the
year 1895.
Col. A. r. Lawton of the First Regi-
ment presented the medals in a neat
speech. AS each man stepped forward to
receive the reward for perseverance and
appropriate remarks. Particularly was
this so when Corpl. w. E. Coney received
his bar. which, marked 1896, gives him a
row of five, which, with the initial medal,
represent an attendance of 100 per cent.
for all the years since 1891.
Corp r. E. Banks and Privates A. j.
Thorpe and J. r. Cowan stand next to
Corpl. Coney in the record of the best
average attendance for the last six years.
They have the initial medal and three
later bars added.
Those having the medal with one pen
dent bar, which means two years of mill
tary promptness and constant attendance,
are Lieut. r. P. Lowell Sergt. ]. b. Gau-
dry, Corpl. G.. A. Kriete and Prvates J.

Purse, w. 4. Reaves and F. Sloat, Jr.,
received medals for their first years 100
per cent. averages.
This system of giving medals in recog-
milton of attendance was inaugurated by
the cadets six years ago. When a man
gets his first years 100 per cent he re-
ceives the medal with the year marked
on it. AS his average continues at the 100
mark for each year a bar pendent is
added, with the year marked upon.
When the medal represents six years
perfect attendance, as in Corpl. Coney's
case it presents a handsome appearance.
The average attendance, in response to
all orders and at the usual drills, for the
entire company last year was 50 per cent.

at its meeting yesterday afternoon to

The fountain was not located at the juno
ton of the Hall street walk with the main
walk of the park because it would be
overshadowed by the park fountain and
the confederate monument
The commission hopes that some other
public spirited citizen will present a sim
liar fountain which can be placed on the
same walk between Bull and Drayton
streets.
The fountain will be placed In position
in a few days. The work of bronzing it
will be done here, probably under the SUI
pervision of Director Carl Brandt of the

MURDERED ACROSS THE RIVER.
Abe MOnigauIt Taken Back to South
Carolina.

Carolina.
Abram Manigault, colored mention of
whose arrest for the murder of another
negro in South Carolina, was made in yes
terday's Morning News, was turned over
by Recorder Wilson yesterday morning to
Constable Statue, colored, of Beaufort
county, to be taken back to South Caro-
lima.
Manigault agreed to go without requi-
sition. The murder occurred on Mr.. Jo-
seph Huger's plantation. The murdered
man was named Tillman. He and Mani
gault lived near each other. According to
the constable the trouble between the two
men grew out of the presence of an Irish
ditcher, who came to the place drunk and
with a plentiful supply of liquor He
offered, if Manigault would take care of
him until his drunk was over, to pay him
for his trouble and divide his liquor with
him, to which Manigault agreed.
Manigault drank freely of the Irishman' s
whisky, but after the latter had gotten too
drunk to move Manigault left him lying
on the ground outside his cabin. Tillman
reproached Manigault for his bad faith.
After cursing each other and quarreling,
Manigault picked up an ak and struck
Tillman in the temple, fracturing his
skull, from the effects of which he died
the next day Manigault fled to Georgia.
The constable sent word to two acquaint-
ances in Savannah who also knew Mani
gault, and asked them to have the latter
arrested. The men found Manigault on
the street and pointed him out to Police
man Ungar, who made the arrest.

MRS. c. h. cARsoS,s VERDICT.
Testimony Read in the Libel suit
Against the Birmingham.

The sealed verdict in the breach Of prom
Ise suit of Mrs Charlotte 3. Carson
against Mr.. William Roberts, ST., was
opened In the United States court at 10
o'clock yesterday morning and was found
to be in favor of the plaintiff for $3.50 and
costs, as stated in the Morning News.
The verdict of the jury became generally
known on the streets on Sunday, but at
first there were two or three reports with
regard to it. Mr.. Roberts is said to have
been very much surprised when informed,
before the verdict was opened tnat even
small verdict had been found against
MIN, as he thought it would be entirely in
MS favor. He was opposed to paying
even II damages. The parties to the suit
were not in court when the verdict was
read, the plaintiff having left the city on
saturday night to return to her home.
1t IS likely that the suit will stop where
II stands, though neither side is satisfied
with the verdict Still on the one hand
IL IS small amount, and on the other 1t
gives the plaintiff practically the vindi
cation that she sought, even though the
Vlndlcation was small one The amount,
it is said, will be just about sufficient to pay
her EXPENSES in bringing the suit. 1t was
a suit of peculiarly interesting charac-
ter from beginning TO end, as well on ac-
count OF the unusual and amusing nature
OF the testimony, as on account of the
prominence of the parties interested.
The only other matter of importance
which came up in the United States court
was the libel suit of r. Sanford Ross
against the steamship City of Birming
nam of the Ocean steamship line, for dam
ages to the libellant's dredge No. 9, in
which it was alleged that the Birmingham
carelessly and negligently ran into the
dredge, damaging it to such an extent
that the expenses for repairs, survey, etc,
were $1,03S72
The claim on the part of the Ocean
Steamship Company was that the dredge
was lying directly in the way of the
/ steamer SO that it was impossible for it
to get to the dock without striking it,
though every effort was made to do So
! The testimony in the case was read to the
court and Judge Speer took the papers to
| consider it.
