GIFTS TO ALL JUDGES
AND COURT OFFICERS,

Judges Cam and SeabrOok Remem-
bered by Court officials.
The officers of the state and county
courts yesterday testified to their ap-
probation of the work and efforts Of
the several judges by presenting them
with appropriate Christmas gifts. To
Judge George T. Cam the officers of
the Superior Court presented a hand
glass.
To Judge Paul E. Seabrook. who has
so often presided in Chatham county
trict, the court officials presented a
beautiful carriage lap-robe. The gift
was sent to Judge Seabrook at his
home in Pinora.
To Solicitor General w. w. Os-
borne one of the handsomest of all the
gifts was presented. This consisted
of a beautiful cut-glass water pitcher
with silver mountings. The gift is one
of the handsomest that has been seen
in Savannah and was especially pre-
pared for presentation to Mr.. Osborne.
Among the other officers of the
court and the other judges gifts were
exchanged of varying nature. Every
one in the state and government
courts was remembered and when the
Court House closed last night the cry
of Merry Christmas was echoed and
re-echoed from the highest to the
lowest of the officials and all felt that
the Yuletide has brought them many
blessings.

Christmas weather is concerned.

changes in atmospheric conditions the
two Christmas holidays should be

Every indication is for rain to-day.
The Weather Man states the best he

Will fall and fall in varying proper

everyone to cover.

a negro woman, were slightly injured
in a street car accident at Broughton

morning. at 7:15 o'clock.
The car was going west. when it
split the switch at the corner OF. Mont

Broughton and the other taking the
switch into Montgomery. The negro
woman was crossing the street at that
point, and noting the direction of the
car, was close on it as it was making
the turn.
The rear end of the car suddenly
switched around and struck the wom-
an, knocking her down and injuring
her internally. Conductor Goldstein
was standing on the rear end of the
car, and was thrown violently to the
ground by the momentum of the car
swinging around.

on their return trip to Savannah at
Wadley early yesterday morning.
The engine of their train took a sid

the two men who were standing in the
ca bose, were thrown violently to the
ground. Thorpe was but slightly
shaken up, but Rowan was injured in

Conductor Thorpe accompanied his
fellow sufferer to the city, arriving
here at o'clock. The injured fiagman

FOOD BY THE TON
WAS GIVEN AWAY
MANY CHRISTMAS DINNERS.
HEAVILY LADEN BASKETS DIS
TRIBUTED TO CITY'S POOR.

Not Fault of Charitable Organiza-
vannah To-day Who is UnprOvid-
ed FOr-FOod and Sweetmeats
Handed Ont With a Lavish Hand.
All Glasses and Conditions of PeO-
pie at the Several Distributing De-
pots.
If there is a family in Savannah to-
day that is without Christmas dinner
it is not the fault of the charitable or
CARNATIONS of the city.
Tons of food were given away yes
terday by the Salvation army, the
Mystic Shriners. the Kings Daughters,
the church societies, the Elks, the
Eagles and scores OF private parties.
Basket after basket, filled to the brim
with things good for the inner man,
were distributed with a lavishness that
attracted a great deal of attention.
At the several distributing depots
lines of women and children presented
cards given them several days ago and
received in return heavily loaded has
kets. 1t was day of good cheer, and
no deserving person was permitted to
want for enough to make an excellent
Christmas dinner. Indeed. it was said
that some who were probably not so
deserving were furnished food, rather
than that one deserving person should
go unDrovided for.
1t was interesting to watch the dis
tribution of the baskets. Women bent
with age elbowed children who had
been sent by parents unable themselves
to call for the food. Mothers with ba-
bies in their arms, women neatly at
tired and those whose apparel mutely
told a tale of poverty, children thinly
clad, along with those who appeared
not to want for anything, made up the
lines in front of the points of distribu-
ton.
A number of families were looked
after by private parties who made calls
from house to house in cabs or car
riages. There was no mistaking the
fact that as a charitable city Savan-
nah is without a peer. Neither could
1t be doubted that there are a great
many people here who are not as we'll
off in life's goods as outside appear
ances would tend to indicate. But one
and all these unfortunates were made
happy on the eve of the birthday of
Christ.

ARREST OF JUDGMENT
MOTION DISMISSED.
Little Business Transacted I'm SUI
perior Court on Holidays Eve.

perior Court on Holidays Eve.
Yesterday was a light day in the Su-
perior Court. and but few matters of
general interest were before Judge
Cam.
The motion for new trial in the
case of the state, against Benjamin F.
Dickerson, was called. but Attorney
James F. Evans, who represents Dick
erson, moved to dismiss the motion.
This action was taken owing to the
fact that the Supreme Court had over
ruled the motion in arrest of judgment,
a motion predicated upon practically
the same grounds as was the motion
for a new trial. This action means
that Dickerson will serve his full term,
three years, in the penitentiary.
Argument on demurrer was heard in
the three cases of C. H. Mccall,
against the Central of Georgia. The
demurrers were made on technical
points, and are OF little general inter-
eet. In some points they were sustain
ed by Judge Cam and in others re-
tecten.
