MARCELLUS COLE
ON TRIAL TODAY.
INDICTED ON CHARGE OF MURDER,
Delay In Other Homicide Cases Like
ly-No Provision for EmpancIinS
Jurors in New Code During
Month of January.

Marcellus Cole. colored. will he placed
on trial this morning before Justice Bar
nard and jury for the alleged murder
of Albert Hawkins, also colored. in Au-
gust last at Deanwood Park. The pris-
oner mas not yet been arraigned
Cole and several others, who are under
I indictment. were brought from the Jail
to the City Hall on Friday last to make
| pleas TO the charges against them, but
were unable to do so because of the
court being occupied with other impor-
! tant business.
The crime of which Cole is accused is
said to have been the result OF bad feel
| ing OF long standing between him and
Hawkins. Hawkins had been spending a
day at a picnic at Deanwook Park. Dur
ing the latter part of the afternoon Cole,
it is said, visited the park.
Pleaded seIf-Dcfencc.
On his arrival there he met Hawkins
and quarrel resulted. They came TO
blows, and it is alleged by the prosecu-
tion that Cole drew a knife from his
pocket and stabbed Hawkins fatally.
Cole declared after the tragedy that he
acted in sclf-defence and to protect his
life.
1t is expected that the trial will not
continue long. The case VIII probably be
submitted to the jury by Wednesday
afternoon.
jail Cases Delayed.
The fact that Justice Anderson. presid
ing in Criminal Court No. ], was occu-
pied in the trial of the Bonine case and
that Justice Barnard has been afforded
but little opportunity during the past
month to take up the consideration of
criminal cases, will necessitate both these
branches OF the Supreme Court of the
District being devoted exclusively to the
disposition Of Jail cases" from now until
the beginning of the Christmas holidays.
There are four other persons besides
Cole in the District Jail held on the
charge OF murder who will be called to
trial as soon as practicable after the
holidays, If the proposed special amend
ment to the new code is enacted proyid-
ing that the jurors for the month Of De-
cember. now serving. be permitted to do
jury duty during the month OF January
next.
No Provision for Jurors.
Under the new code no provision is
made for the empanelinG of juries for the
circuit and criminal branches Of the Su-
preme Court of the District for January,
and TO provide against delay in the
trial OF criminal and civil cases during
that month an amendment to the code
will be offered by which jurors drawn for
the December term shall serve for sixty
instead of thirty days.
II the amendment is not adopted the
trial of jury cases viii necessarily be
postponed until February. Under such
circumstances the consideration of the
Utermehle and Mcpherson will contests
will be delayed at least a month.

Canada southern's Dividend.
Among the events of last week in the
railroad world was the increase in the
semi-annual dividend OF the Canada
Southern Railroad from ! to IL per cent
While this increase was thoroughly war
ranted by the earnings of the road. Il
was undoubtedly made by the Wander
bilts for the purpose of appeasing the
Canada Southern stockholders. who have
long been dissatisfied with the present
agreement with Michigan Central and
who are anxious TO secure better terms
for their road, which is now beginning
to take its place among the sound rail
road systems of Canada.
The present agreement expires IN jan

The earnings for October, both gross

large in proportion 10 the gross earnings,

The Barlow county mineral exhibit
at the Fair. consisting of thirty-six
varieties, is the private property OF
Col. Thomas ]. Lyons of Gainesville

cultural Society. Col. Lyons offers to
give 1t to the city of Savannah If the
authorities will accept, and place II In

While the display is from one county
it embraces so many varieties of the
mineral products of Georgia that 1t

Col. Lyons exhibit shows what a great
state Georgia is and what its wonder

wealth that now lies hidden in the
mountains will be seeking an outlet
through Savannah for foreign coun-
tires and the knowledge acquired from
an examination OF the Barlow county
exhibit will hasten the time when the
wealth of Upper Georgia will add to
the prosperity of Savannah.

Tommy Feitz May Meet Harry
Forbes for $1,000 a side.
The friends of neither Tim Callahan
nor Ed Lenney, who boxed a 20-round
draw Tuesday night, are satisfied with
the outcome of the affair, and so the
men, it is more than likely, will be

made the more probable as a bet was
made yesterday between AL McMur-
ray and Jack Monahan, McMurray
stalking $500 that in another go between
Callahan and Lenny, at 122 pounas.
Lenny will be the victor, and Monahan
taking the other end of the bet. The

The Savannah Athletic Club is now
negotiating with Harry Forbes of Chi
cago for a match with Tommy Feltz

likely that this match will be arranged
for the week following Thanksgiving

Still another match that has been
framed up is between Ed Lenny, who

ment from it than the orphan lads.
They were the guests for a part of the
day of Mr.. w. J. DeRenne, who not
only saw to it that they got good
dinner not long after their arrival, but
that each boy was provided with so
cents spending money to do with just

shows which little boys should see,
We're thrown open to them. The feats
of the jugglers and their rides on the
merry-go -round, the statute turning

saw will form topics at Bethesda for
many days.
The little fellows were given seats in
the grandstand. and saw the races. In
the afternoon they were given bag

His Comm ission as Ordinary TO Ar
rive To-day From Atlanta.
The commission of Capt. Henry Nc
Alpin as Ordinary of Chatham coun-
ty will arrive this morning and Capt.
McAlpin will qualify either to-day or
tomorrow, probably, before the Board
of County Commissioners. There Is
meeting of the board this afternoon
and it is quite possible that Capt. NC
Amin will take the oath of Office at
that time.
The twenty days grace allowed John
Kelly. to make good in the courts the
contest he filed to the election of capt
McAlpin, expired yesterday and the
successful candidate at the primary
and special election was notified by
wire from the Governors office that
his commission had been signed ana
would be forwarded last night.
The receipt by Capt. McAlpin of his
commission and his induction into
office will terminate an interesting and
for time bitterly contested fight for
ordinary. The contest hled by
Kelly was successful in keep
ing him for three weeks out of the
office, but this is the only effect it has
had. The people of Savannah, will be
gratified that the long fight is over
and that in this political respect at
least they are for a time to enjoy the
sweet blessing of peace and unruffied
spirits.
When Capt. McAlpin takes his seat
he will be the fifth man to fill the
offive since the present year began.
Judge Hampton L. Ferrill began the
YER in its incumbency and died dur
ing the first month. He was succeeded
ad interim by Mr.. Frank E. Keilbach,
who at the special election called by
the County Commissioners was in turn
succeeded by Maj. Thomas Screven.
Maj. Screven died during the month of
July and the commissioners appointed
Col. George T. Cam to the office until
an election could be held. Col. Cam
has filled the Office. and filled it adj
mirably, since and will turn it over to
Capt. McAlpin.
