MAYOR'S COURT.
G.neral Aver*,. Tea »d Cost*.
When the Court first mounted the
stand, and silence had been proclaimed,
JOHN Humphrey
was announced os the first visitor to the
morning levee. Humphrey was a soldier,
and being a man of war, ho fell afoul of
Mis. Humphrey aud was about to choke
the life out of her, all bccauso he wanted
her to give him some monoy. She had
only 83 50, and John wanted to finish
out a spree ho hod commenced that
morning. Because she refused to grant
his request ho beat her rathor severely
and ended with the choking process. The
Court told Jonsen to choke 815 worth
out of him.
NELSON WHITE
was a drayman, aud they arc not by law
allowed to rofuso to haul for nny one
when not engaged. Thero was some
doubt in Nelson’s miud on this point,
and ho refused to carry a load for a col.
ored brother when solicited, and cursed
him besides. For this offeuso a fine of
85 and costs was charged up to Nelson,
aud ho paid it.
MADAME MARY RICHARDS
had loft to her care and training a small
sister. Mary, like a well disposed elder
sister will do, was always freo with
the use of the rod, never sparing it, in
order that her younger sister might be
brought up in the way she should go.—
But the younger sister had grown up to
be as large as Mary herself, and tho other
day Mary forgot herself and gavo little
sis a real blistorer with her open hand.—
This produced a policeman, and the case
was before the Muyor. After some des
ultory wrangling and locturing it was
dismissed with an injunction.
JAMES M’OORMICK
was from the barracks. He was charged
with drunkenness, disorderly conduct
and disturbing tho peace. He was first
discovered in a gentleman’s yard on Mc
Donough street, and upou this tho police
wero called, when McCormick broke to
run. He saw that he was in a scrape of
some sort, and ho began playing off drank
and fell down. When found he had the
appearance of a drunk man, but the po
licemen swore ho was sober. What his
object was the Mayor could not mafco out.
Ho thought his behavior very suspicious,
at least, and required him to pay $20 and
costs, thereby adding an additional five
to tho other two 85 fines, making an
averago of 810.
MARY HUNNICUTT.
cut up some sweet capers in front of Mrs.
Lambert's residence, whereupon that
lady called for tho police. When they
catno up, they found Mary keen for a
fight, and was trying to get another wo
man to step outside the door, in order
that slio might “top her cotton” for hor.
Tho woman had been making, (as Mary
said), false allegation ns to her sanitary
condition, and otherwise uttering un
guarded remarks ns to Mary’s morals and
habits, and for which that young lady
was bound to thrash her. She would
whip her own dear mother for using
such lnnguago towards hor, and tho
Mayor thought she was telling tho truth,
from the manner in which she acted, and
he charged her 810 and costs.
ALICE LEE
had a pretty name, but sho was nn ugly
girl. She it was who had so cruelly tra
duced the fairnamo of the lovely Mary—
of tho preceding chapter—whom the
latter was going to thrash, for her irnpu-
denoe. As both tho girls were about the
same age, size and of apparent similar
capacity for devilment, sho was placed on
the same footing, financially, 03 her col
league, and sent to the calaboose.
Proceedings of Council*
Lost night the City Council met, his
Honor, Mayor Hammond, in the Choir,
A full Board of Aldormon present, ex
cept Lowry.
Thu minutes of the last regular meet
ing were read and approved.
A number of petitions for renewal of
retail license were granted.
Capt Harry Jackson was permitted to
read a petition signed by n large number
of citizens in relation to the bridge over
the M. A W. Ruilroad, in front of Judge
Collier’s residence, and the straightening
of Nelson Street so as to mako it more
convenient for tho public. Ho wanted
the city to open a Street diagonally
through tho vacant lot belonging to Col.
Peters, and which has heretofore been
used for that purpose, but which Colonel
Peters has now fenced in.
CoL W. H. Hulsey represented tho
land owners along thore, and after get
ting permission to Bpeak, he said he was,
in behalf of tho party ho represented,
opposed to opening a street as Captain
Jackson proposed. It would cost tho
city at least 810,000, and ruin tho lots of
several parties who had purchased lots
along tho real tboroughfaro from Mitchell
to Peters Street, with tho bolief that that
street would be opened.
Ho wanted Thompson Streot widened
four or five feet, which would be almost
as near, and costing not over 8100. By
this latter way it would be almost os near
to tho bridge fromMitchell Street through
Thompson to Nelson as it would bo by
the diagonal line proposed. Considerable
discussion ensued between the two gen
tlemen, and the question was finally re
ferred to tho Street Committee.
A petition to macadamize Decatur
street was referred.
A youth of fifteen years was granted
free license to peddle on the streets.
Garret Sanders, a one armed man,
wantod the city to employ him in somo
situation. Was willing to do anything
honorable to make a support for himself
and family. The Street Committee was
instructed to look out for a position for
Mr. Sanders.
Petition from the 5th Ward for opening
Spring street. There is only about twp
hundred feet to bo purchased, which cau
bo done cheaper now than to wait. A
special committe was appointed to see
into it at once.
All charity applications for licence to
pcddlo on tho streets wore granted.
Somo dozen or more wero thus gotten
rid of at one stroke.
In a law case of several citizens against
the city in tho waterworks business, the
latter gained tho suit. Now a bill is pre
sented for payment by tho city for costs
in tho case.
This was a new way to do business to
tho mind of Alderman Bice. If peoplo
were a mind to go to law and lose their
suit, they should foot tho bills,
and for his part ho should oppose the
entertainment of nny such proposition.
The ground was well taken, but a majori
ty was willing to refer it to tho Financo
Committee against the judgment of Rice
and Finch, which will terminate with tho
city paying the bill. See if it don’t.
A one logged negro made a verbal pe
tition for a free license to mako shoes.—
Granted.
Also from another one legged darkey
to peddle pies and cakes and other vege
tables on tho sumo terms. Granted.
The Committoe reported in favor of
putting n pump on Peachtree streot, near
Walton.
Tho .Clerk of Council in making his
report for the quarter, reported upon
Sparks and Tyo as refusing to pay license
on a numbor of bcevos and sheep slaugh
tered. It was unanimously decided that

Iu this new era, it is becoming a custom

The best stroke mado yesterday was on

The Conductors ou the Mucon & Wes

come and go back to Macon, and go and
come back to Atlauto every day. It may
bo a good thing in thoso now coaohes—
but then too much of n good thing isn't
palatable.
Captain B., of Company E., tho “in

Owiug to tho fact that a school exhi
bition wasiu progross just over tho Coun
cil chamber last night, several documents
wo did not hear read. The Clerk speaks
rather pensivo and mild, showing good
breeding, but at the sumo timo bad tosto
to exerciso before that stormy ossombly.
Tho Atlanta sports, it appears, from the
paragraphs in a late issue of ono of our
city cotemporaries, failed to como to timo,
and aro a little sore because they had to
foot tho bill of costs in tho case of Dolly
of Fairvicw vs. Ouuadu Dan. It is not
customary for sports to “mouth” when
thoy are beaten. Canada Dan is too old
to be mated with tho fair Dolly—she is
too fasti Settle, boys; und go slow.
