LAWLESS AGAIN IN THE TOLLS.
Young Lad Charged With Pointing n
Revolver at His LandIady.

Archie Lawless, a white boy of Is was
and given lodging for the night at the po-
lice station house. He is charged by Mrs
G. w. Brown, of No. 519 Broughton street,
east with pointing a pistol at her and
threatening to shoot her.
The Lad came to Savannah from the
West Indies eighteen months ago, and aft
err his arrival here was adopted by a resi-
dent of the city. He gave his adopted
father much trouble, and on several occa-
sions attempted TO run away and resume
the nomcdic existence he had evidently
previously led.
For some time he had been working for
C. f. Ger, the Broughton street shoe
maker and boarding with Mrs. Brown
She charges that last night he became in
solent and when she demonstrated with
him, drew his revolver and threatened to
shoot her. She re,ephoned to the barracks
for an officer, and when Detective Barre tt
came. pointed out the boy and demanded
his arrest.
Archie denies with fearful ve9lemence
that he ever made any attempt or threat
to shoot Mrs. Brown or to injure her in
any way. He says that she has cherished
a grudge against him because of his dis
inclination to submit willingly to her at
tempts to take advantage of his inexperi-
ence and that at her instance he has fire.
quently been compelled to pawn his small
property or to turn the articles over to
her outright. He charges that she had
acquired a particular fondness for his re-
volver and that 1t was upon his refusal
to give IL to her that she called for an
officer and had him arrested.
The alleged assault upon Mrs. Brown
with a loaded revolver is said to nave oc>
CURED during the early evening. II was
two or three hours afterward when Law
less was arrested. The boy has rather a
pleasing manner and tells his story plaus-
IDLY enough. His record with the police.
though, is not good, and may do his case
an injury when 1t is called this morning
by Recorder Hartridge.

SOLD PROHIBITED MEAT.
Food Inspector We'll Objects to Light
Sentences.


Food Inspector We'll is disgruntled be-
cause Recorder Hartridge has dealt so
lightly with offenders against the cie,x
food laws who have been brought before
him in the Police Court. The case over
which Inspector We'll is particularly ex-
ercised came up a day or two ago and
appears to him TO have been a fragrant
one.
Inspector Well called the attention of a
Morning News reporter to the case yes
terday. He stated that last Saturday Mr..
S. H. Zoucks, stableman on West Broad
street, employed Nathan Walker, colored,
to skin some COWS which had died while
en- route to Savannah in a shipment of
cattle by rail. There were three of the
dead animals. Walker performed his part
of the contract with Mr.. Zoucks and sold
the skins to a dealer in hides. Not salts
fed with his profit from this operation,
he brought the tails, tongues and brains
and heads of the dead animals 20 the
market, where he gave the heads away
and disposed of the other parts.
Inspector We'll learned of the matter and
had Walker arreste Monday. The case
came up for trial the next day and was
continued until Wednesday, when the Re-
corder fined Walker So with an aHerna-
tive Of ten days in Jail. Walker is now
in Jail serving out his sentence.
The ordinances against the sale of
meats from animals which have died
otherwise than under the butchers
knife are very strict, and the inspector
feels that the sentence was too light for
the f1agrancy of the offense He argues
that there is no encouragement for him to
incur the enmity of rough characters who
are liable to bat him over the head with
a club on dark nights unless these char
acters can be taught wholesome respect
for his authority

ON THE HONORARY LIST.
A Tribute to Mr.. w. n. Lenken by
the Guards Battalion.

the Guards Battalion.
The changing of the status of the Sa-
vannah Volunteer Guards from an indie
pendent battalion, TO a battalion of the
First Regiment of Infantry, rendered nee
essary the doing away with the Office of
battalion commissary, which had been
very acceptably filed for several years by
Lieut.. w. r. Leaken. Mr.. Leaken's name
was not only transferred to the honorary
list, as is customary, in case of the re-
tirement of an officer of the battalion, but
resolutions were adopted by the corps, ex-
pressing their sentiments towards him.
The resolutions are as follows:
Whereas, by the assignment Of this bat
TALON to the First Regiment, Infantry,
Georgia Volunteers, it is deprived of the
services, of its commissary, Lieut.. William
r. Leaken;
Therefore, be it resolved, by the savan-
nah Volunteer Guards in meeting assem-
bled:
/. That the valuable services of Lieut..
Leaken. as commissary. have been rec
ognized not only by this battalion, but by
the state authorities for years past. He
has performed the duties of his office in
cialy during the encampments In which
this command has participated, to the en-
tire Sc tisfaction of the officers and men,
and so as to merit the commentator of
the commissary department of the state.
He has otherwise fully performed his duty
in all regards, as a staff officer, and as
member of this corps, responding when
ever called upon. cheerfully and willingly
to every demand made upon him.
2. In recognition of the worth and abiI-
ity of this officer, and as a token of the
esteem in which he is held by this COM
mand his name is hereby directed to be
placed upon the honorary list and copy
of these resolutions will be transmitted
to Lieut.. Leaken, by the secretary.
Mr.. Leaken has the honor of having
been an active member of the battalion for
seventeen years. there being few of the
younger members who can excel him in
length Of service. At the breaking out of
the war with Spain, Mr.. Leaken volInteer-
ed as a private with his old company, b,
but was later given q commission as lieu
tenant in the Third Georgia, in which he
served until the cessation of hostilities.

Had More Than Passed the Allotted
FOur-ScOre Wears of Life.
Col. Joseph ]. Stoney of Bluffton, s. c.,
died yesterday at the residence of his SON
in-law. Mr.. Henry d. Stevens, No. 81
CASTOR street, east after u short illness.
Col. Stoney was 50 years old and was
well known in Savannah and throughout
South Carolina. He was born in Beaufort
District, South Carolina, where he spent
his youth, his manhood and his declining
years. He was visiting his daughter when
the death summons came. Although he
lived longer than his allotted years he
never ceased to enjoy life and TO feel a
lively interest in all that was going on
around him.
Col Stoney was an old-time planter and
his home was an abode of elegance and
hospitality. He was a gentleman of the
Carolina type. At the outbreak of the
Civil War he offered his services 10
the .Confederacy and was assigned to duty
on the staff of Gen. Drayton. At che close
of the war he returned to his desolate
home, with a buoyant and hopeful spirit
thot disaster could not quell, to build IN
his wasted fortune.
Col Stoney was a frequent visitor 90 Sa-
vannah at the home of mis- daughter Mrs
Stevens. He was an interesting narrator
of the events and incidents that filled his
life. His wife died a few weeks ago. His
funeral Will take place at The Church of
the Cross in Button tomorrow morning.
The interment Will be in the family bury
ing ground.

REGISTRATION BOOKS CLOSED.
There Are 4,245 Voters Qualihed for
shrievaIty Election.

Shr1eValty ElecuOhs
The registration books for the election
for sheriff Of Chatham county that has
been ordered to take place on Dec. 81,
closed yesterday with rush. During the
day there were seventy-four registrations
of prospective voters for sheriff. most of
whom registered under the supervision of
a representative OF one or the other of the
local political factions.
AS is usual, the registration for yester-
day, the closing day, was the largest of
any other single day since the books have
been open this year. The total registra~
tons for the election for sheriff, are 4,245
rather less than the activity of the past
few weeks had led the political prophets
to predict. OF the total, only go of those
registered are negroes. The fact that
there is no contest in sight for the cleo
ton for sheriff, but that every indica-
ton points to the unopposed election of
Sheriff Sweeny for the remainder of the
unexpired term, has probably induced this
failure to qualify on the part of the col
ored brother.
The County Commissioners have already
given public notice that the
election for sheriff. to fill the
remainder of the uneXplred term
of Sheriff Roman would be held on Dec.
q. Although both political factions dis
claim any intention of putting out can
didate to oppose Sheriff Sweeny, they have
both been active in securing the registra-
ton of their adherents, doubtless with the
purpose of making the best possible shew-
ing in the shrievalty election and of get
ting their forces marshaled for the to
them more important political battles that
the near future holds in store.
1t is freely stated that there will be OPP
position candidates to at least several of
the present court house officers when they
apply for reelection next October. The
offices of clerk and sheriff of the City
Court have recently been made elective
by the people of the county by the act
of the Legislature of the state, approved
and signed by the Governor just few
days ago. There will be of course oppo-
sition candidates for these offices to
Messrs Russell and Whelan and it may be
that others of the officers will have to fight
and fight hard for their places.

reviewed the various phases of life which
are made prominent by the old and young,
the rich and the poor the epicurean and the
philosopher. He urged upon the students
that phase of life made prominent by the
Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Scriptures.
Professors and students were greatly
pleased by the eloquent and in every way
able address of DR.. Fair. President
Wright and the faculty are attempting to
secure addresses from some of the ablest
men In the city, and also from some out
side. Mr.. Clark Howell of Atlanta has
promised to be present and address the
college al some future day.
The college is now in the most prosper
GUS condition of its history. The total
enrolment is $50 and applications are stin
