DOG BADGES IN DEMAND.
city Trensurer's Office Thronged
with Dog Owners.

The city treasury was enriched by about
$500 yesterday, being the amount paid by
a similar number of dog owners for badges
for their canine pets. Yesterday being the
last day on which owners of dogs could
secure badges and save themselves from
being docketed for failure to do so, there
was quite rush at the city treasures
office, and Clerk II. S. Dreese was kept
busy all day handing out badges and re-
cording the names of the owners of the
dogs.
In all about 1900 badges have been is
sued so far, but there are several hun
dred others who must come forward soon
If they wish to save themselves the trou-
Bile of facing the Recorder and explaining
why they have not complied with the or
dinances. The police have completed the
dog census, but all the books have not
yet been received by Clerk of Council
Bailey The indications are, however, that
there has been no decrease in the canine
population, and that the number will be
fully I'D to former years.

HELD ANNIVERSARY EXERCISES.
Wesley Monumental Sunday School
Celebrates Its Dist birthday.

The thirty-frst anniversary of the
Sunday school of Wesley Monumental
Church was pleasingiy celebrated last
night by the children. The exercises were
in the auditorium, and the occasion was
one that will long be remembered by the
young people. Their elders also enjoyed
the exercises. their arrangement having
been excellent and execution no less so.
The church was beautifully decorated.
The choir loft rail was intertwined with
lovely foliage, and three large bells OF
flowers hung above il. Either side OF
The chancel stood handsome palms, while
between them. built up over the pulpit,
was the platform occupied by the young
est children of the school.
The exercises consisted of songs sweetly
rendered, prayer, Scripturai readings
reports of officers, a talk on the home de
partment and the talk by the pastor. The
children marched from the Sunday school
room to the auditorium, singing the pro-
cessional, March on to Canaan"
MIR. r. B. Reppard is superintendent OF

the progress the school has made. During
the past year there was an average at

beers of the school and their friends and

THE CITY COURT JUDGEsHIP.
Mr.. t. NJ. Cunningham, Jr., Talked OF
Against Judge Norwood.

Against Judge Norwood.
The canvass for the City Court judge
ship has already begun. A petition was
started in circulation yesterday among the
members of the bar in behalf of Judge
Norwood The petition is reported to
have been generally signed by Judge Nor
woods friends among the attorneys, of
whom there are quite a number
Judge Norwoods motive in seeking the
Endorsement of his friends is understood
to be that he found that the friends of Mr..
T. Mayhem Cunningham, Jr. were solic
iting support for that gentlemen for the
City Court judgeshp 1t is known that
Mr. Cunningham's friends have bezn con
Quoting a quiet campaign in his behalf for
some time, and quite a number of the at
toueys are said to have expressed them
selves favorably towards him.
1t is likely that the campaign for The
judgeship viii be quite warm. Mr.. Cum
ningham is understood to have the active
support of some of the leading members of
the bar. AS a young man he is likely to
have the support of the majority of the
younger members of the bar. For the
same reason The majority Of the older
members of the bar are likely to be with
Judge Norwood. Judge NorwcoIs dis
tinguished record and his well-earned rep
utation for legal ability Will, of course,
stand him in good stead. On the other
hand Mr.. Cunningham is recognized as one
of the brightest of the younger members
of the bar. AS a member of the firm of
Lawton & Cunningham he has had con-
siderable experience in important litiga-
ton, aud his record is a thoroughly Clean
.onc in every sense Of the word
1t is not generally thought that there
will be any other entries in the race. Some
time since the name of Mr.. W.B. Stephens
was mentioned as a possible candidate
for The judgeship and the suggestion was
favorably received among the attorneys
Mr.. Stephens is a young attorney OF rec
ognized legal ability and has the absolute
confidence Of all who know. him. He
would undoubtedly have made a strong
race. 1t is understood however, that he
has decided not to make the race.
IT is some time yet before the question
can be decided. Judge Norwood was ap-
pointed by Gov. Atkinson for a term of
four years, beginning Jan. l, 1896. He
has seven months yet TO serve. AS the
appointment has 20 be confirmed by the
Senate it will be made by Gov Gambler
during the session of the legislature this
fall

and could have knocked down a few more
TO the bidders who were running the prices
up to a pretty good figure, had 1t not
been that all of tomorrow was before
him for the continuance Of the sale. There
are only about 275 more Of the animals 70
be disposed Of and less than the whole
of tomorrow will be required TO get rid
of them.
The mules put up for sale were larger
than those that were sold Monday. The
price was consequently better. one fine
animal brought $145. The average price
was good deal more than was secured
the first day.
About the same crowd of buyers from
a distance were out to attend the sale,
and some of them viii have secured sew
eral carloads by the time the buying is
completed. A great many Of the animals
have also been bought locally. The city
OF Savannah was a bidder yesterda ",
Director Of Public Works Gadsden hav-
ing secured a few mules for use in con-
uection with his department.

WITH AN OLD PISTOL.
Miss Emmie johnson Accidentally
Shot Herself in the Shoulder.

III the
Miss Emmie johnson, the 16-year-old
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. T. f. Johnson in
carelessly handling an old pistol yesterday
morning, accidentally shot herself through
the right shoulder, causing a painful,
though not dangerous, flesh wound.
Exaggerated rumors of the accident
brought many people to the house to in
quire as 10 Miss Johnson's condition. Ply
sicians were quickly summoned, but did
not attempt 20 remove the bullet, which
had lodged in the back of the shoulder
The bones we've not fractured. Just now
the accident happened is unknown. The
pistol was an old one-an old-fashioned
derringer of large cahber, which belonged
to Mr.. Johnson, and which had been in
the house for years.
Miss johnson is . pupil of Miss Hart
ridges school, and her girl friends there
and in the High School manifested the
greatest solicitude for her during the day.
She is an attractive sirl, and her bright
and happy nature have won for her num-
bers of friends.

COL. H. 5. HAINEs IN THE CITY.
President of the Atlantic and Dam
willie visiting His Old Home.

Col. II. S. Haines, president of the At
lantic and Danvile Railroad, is in the city
Col. Haines is a veteran in the railroad
business who has many friends in Savan-
nah. For many years this was his home,
and up to several years ago he was gen
eral manager of the Plant System. Soon
after giving up that post he was appoint
ed commissioner of the old Southern States
Freight Association, which gave way,
after the adverse ruling of the Supreme
Court relative to associations, to the
Southeastern Freight Association, form
ed on a different basis.
Col Haines present road is one of those
about which rumors have got afloat in
connection with the Southern. The South
ern is a line that always figures rather
prominently in the South when there are
any rumors going the rounds, and il is
by no means an unusual thing to hear Of
it's absorption of some other road This
time It is the Atlantic and Danville that
is spoken of. il being said that the larger
road has bought the smaller. As yet,
there has been no confirmation of the re-
ported sale. Col. and Mrs. Haines are
guests of Mr. and Mrs Arthur Haines, at
Broughton and Habersham streets.
