Recorder Had no Patience with
Delinquent Dog Owners.
Besides being fined So each, six of
the negroes arraigned before Recorder
Myrick yesterday for contempt of court
were given five hours to serve in Jail
Just what will be done with those who
did not have the amount of the fine
has not yet been determined.
The defendants had failed to answer
subpoenas requiring them to show
cause why they should not be punished
for having failed to take out dog
badges. 1t is the Recorders rule to
charge 81 for badge, and an extra
dollar as punishment for not having
paid the money into the city treasury
at the appointed time. When those
under subpoena, however, fail to put
in an appearance in Police Court it
goes very much harder with them
Rose Coleman, the woman with the
2-months-old baby, was among the
number fined yesterday.
Last night Robert Holmes, another
delinquent, called at police headquar-
ters to make some sort of an explana-
ton of his failure to appear in court
Tuesday. He had been informed that
a uniformed man was looking for him.
Holmes was given n cell in the sta
ton house and told that he could tell
the Recorder how it happened. Later
the negro furnished bail for his fur
ther appearance

TITS alright as far as its gone, but
hope for better results" was the way
in which Rev. A. NJ. Williams summed
up the situation in the gambling agi-
tation yesterday. There may not be
1000 shops in the city, but there are a
thousand roots to be dug up, and while
we are engaged in the roofing out pro-
cess we may as well take the little
fellows first.
Did you furnish the grand jury with
the addresses of these policy joints"
Mr.. Williams was asked.
That / would not like to say. Any

the grand jury l consider privileged
Il suppose you will stand sponsor to
the assertion that action in the mat

"As to that natter he replied

UNITED STATES GRAND
JURY C0NVENES TO-DAY.
Will He Charged by Judge Speer
shortly After Court Meets.


The grand jury of the United States
court will be convened to-day in the
district court room, at which time the
members will be sworn in and will be
charged by Judge Speer. There are no
very important cases TO engage the
jury's attention. it's attendance on this
term of the court being compelled by
several Jail cases.
Judge Speer's charge viii no doubt
be heard by a large representation Of
the bar and other citizens to whom
the courts words are always source
of enjoyment. Judge Speer has the
happy and uncommon faculty of be-
ing able to say something entirely diff
ferent to every grand jury, and enjoys
the distinction of never having repeat
ed any portions of a charge to d grand
jury during his eighteen years on the
bench.
Assistant United States Attorney
Alexander Alderman will conduct the
business for the government in the
grand jury room, Mr.. Leaken having
charge of the civil cases. 1t is not
probable that the grand jury will be
in session longer than Saturday, at
which time the members will be dis
charged by the court. The principal
matters for it's consideration, which
have been noted in the Morning News,
consist in small pOstoffice populations
and Illicit distilling cases.
After the grand jury has been charg-
ed the civil business of the court will
be taken up, the case at present on
trial being disposed of before any other
is assigned. There are a number of
interesting cases to be assigned and
heard by the court. and representa-
tives of the bar from all parts of the
southern district are in attendance on
the court.

JUDGE SPEER DECLINES
Invitation to Deliver Address Mt
Wesley Bi-Centenary.

Invitation to Deliver Address Mt
Wesley Bi-CenteRary.
Judge Emory Speer, who was invited
yesterday to deliver an address at he
Wesley bi-centenary celebration, to be
held in Savannah, beginning June 20,
has been forced to decline the invita-
ton, owing to the pressure of official
business.
The declination of the invitation was
attended by great regret on the part
of Judge Speer, who, cognizant of the
honor implied by it, considered that
his time would be so much occupied
by the business of the court, as not to
permit of it's acceptance. The present
session of the court will continue until
mid-April Immediately after which
the court convenes in Augusta, thus
engaging the court continuously.
Judge Speer is particularly sorry of
his inability to accept the invitation,
since he has always manifested much
interest in the welfare of the Methodist
church, in which he is one of the most
distinguished laymen, and in which
both his father and grandfather were
prominent members of the pastorate in
Georgia, the former having been for
many years the pastor Of Trinity
Church, in Savannah. and the latter of
Wesley Chapel, also in Savannah,
which was one of the leading churches
in the community at that time.
Judge Speer's declination was for
warded to Rev. A. NJ. Williams, chair
man of the Committee on Programme
last night. The intelligence was re-
ceived with much regret, since the
committee had hoped, as expressed in
the invitation, to hear one of the most
eloquent and scholarly speakers in the
country on the occasion of the bi-cen-
tennial celebration in honor of Wesley.

STOLE CASH BOX
WITH MUCH SILVER.
Cash Taken from Drug store and
White Man Suspected.

White Man Suspected.
Under rather peculiar circumstances
a tin cash box, containing about go in
silver, was taken from the drug store
of Huff & Nelson, on Broughton and
Habersham streets, shortly before 8
o'clock last night. The case was re-
ported at police headquarters and
white man is under suspicion.
The clerk in the store stated that
a stranger purchased a suspensoIy
bandage from him and rendered in
payment a SO bill. The article was
sold for 25 cents. The proper change
was given and the purchaser asked
permission to step behind the counter
and put the bandage on He went be-
hind the prescription counter, within
reach of the cash box. and the clerk
gave his attention to a customer who
entered the store about that time.
When the man who had made the p
cents purchase left the store he had
his coat thrown carelessly across his
arm and the detectives believe that it
concealed the cash box. A minute
later the clerk discovered that the
cash box was missing and notified po-
lice headquarters. Detective Murphy
was sent to the store and secured
description of the Suspect. No trace of
him could be found, however. The
drug store people reported that the
man had been in the store several
times within the past two or three
days.

with which he had missed connection
at Savannah. Mr.. w. w. Miller of
Hornblower Bryne, Miller & Potter,
wealthy firm of New York, chartered

SAVED HALF A CENT.
Each Square Yard of Gravel Costs
That Much Less.

On bid of SLIP a square yard the
Southern Paving Gravel Company
was yesterday given the contract for
furnishing the city with 1000 cubic
yards of Augusta gravel. There were
two bids, and that of Mr.. Opper's COM
pany was half cent cheaper than
that of the Augusta Cement Gravel
Company. 10
Both concerns had bids rejected by
the Streets and Lanes Committee on
Saturday. At that time the Savannah
company charged S1.15 for it's gravel
and the Augusta concern named the
same figures submitted yesterday. I'm
der the contract, the successful bidder

delivery will have to be made next
Wednesday, and twenty cars will have
to be delivered during each week. Just

work of resurfacing Waters avenue,
Estill avenue and Bull street will be

800. 90 Per BortIe.

This seems a pretty big price to pay
for a single bottle of medicine, and yet
# you consider the matter rightly, it
is a very cheap price for a bottle Of
Johnson's Tonic.
Here is what fixes its value:
First. No man can die of fever who
uses it half way right.
Second. No other medicine can cure
a bad attack of grip.
S1OO is dirt cheap for this wonderful
medicine, and yet you can buy it for so
cents bottle.
Don't buy it from substitutors. Your

business.
