Important Change of Schedule.
We ask special attention to the notice

Reunion of Hi. 7tb Georgia Regiment.
A few oj the members of the 7th Geor
gia Bcgimcnt Infantry, with Gen. G. T.
Anderson, their old Brigadier, had a re
union at Pease’s restaurant on the 21st,
the anniversary of tho first battle of Ma
nassas, in which that regiment took a
conspicuous part. The members present
were Majors H. H. Witt and John F.
Kiser, Capt. Wm. Norman, Commissary,
Orderly Sergeant Samuel Hope, of Co.
B. , Leonard Powell, of Co. E, Captain
C. K. Maddox and Lieutenants W. L.
Hubbard and Samuel B. Hoylo, of Co.
K. Thero are many members of the
regiment in the city, but tho haste with
which this day’s reunion was gotten up
prevented their being invited. Goncral
Gartrell, their first Colonel, was invited,
but professional engagements provonted
his presence.
Several hours were qtassed in re
calling the inoidens of the war in which
they each had taken a part, many of
them amusing, many sod, and all of them
interesting. Tenderly they spoke of
their fallen Colonel, William T. Wilson,
who fell at tho second Manassas. He
was the favorite of the regiment, and
never will they forget his cheery shouts
and words of encouragement to "my
boys,” as they and ho were reeking the
thickest of tho fights. He is now asleep
in tho Atlanta cemetery. No one’s loss
and abscnco from tho reunion wus regret
ted more.
Sergeant Hape drank to tho memo-y of
Maj. Eli Hoyle, who was promoted from
Private to Adjutant for beiug tho first
Confederate to mouut tho guns of Pick
ets’ Battery in position nt tho first battlo
of Manasass. He was soon afterwards
elected Major, aud fell mortally wound 1
at Malvern Hill. ‘‘There was no braver
soldier than he, nor a more perfect gen
tleman. Ho scorned ’everything mean
and low."
Lieut. Sam’l B. Hoyle drank to the
memory of tho dead of the old brigade.
“They lived freemen, they fought free
men, and died freemen.”
The whole brigado will bo invited to
attend the reunion next year, and overy
anniversary afterwards, as long as any of
the brigade survive. To aocomplish this
and mako the necessary preparations, the
following Committee was appointed:
Col. E. F. Huge, 9th Go.; Capt. Mor
row, 11th Go.; Col. Magitl and Capt. An
derson, 1st Ga. Begulars; Maj. H. H.
Hitt and Sergeant S. Hapo, 7th Ga ; CoL
J. B. Lowndos and Capt It T. Fouche,
8th Ga.; and Col. Jack Brown, of the
59th Ga.
General G. T. Anderson w«s elected
Chairman, and Copt. C. K. Maddox,
Secretary of the Committee. It is in
tended to keep on record the muster rolls
of eaoh company, showing all tho chan
ges that took place among the members,
and any memory or ovent connected with
the history of the brigade, that any mem
ber may reduce to writing uod present to
tho Secretary; aud the members are re
quested to prepare such papeis to bo read
at the next meeting.
General Amlctson then drauk to the
7th Ga Begimcnt. "You were in all in
thirty-seven engagements, in thirty-five
of which I commanded you. Yon were
often called on and never found want
ing." t
They then adjourned to the next anni
versary on July 21, 1872.

BIAYOU’S COURT—SATURDAY.
Old John Barleycorn U Tram pi.
The few cases before this Court Satur
day were disposed of in short order, the
Mayor infiioting the fines and sparing the
lecture. It will be noticed that ho has
got a fivo dollar fever, and is disposed to
lot them off a little eaaier than common
ly. The first caso was that of
TWO OLD TITOS,
who have had a "foul case” on the docket
for the whole week. A little beer last
Snnday was at the bottom of the "mat
ter.” One knocked the other's hat into
’pi,” when he gave "chare" and returned
the compliment. A policeman took a
“stand,” and soon had both "forms”
“looked up.” The “edition” was "work
ed off” Satnrday morningj'and when the
Mayor measured up their “dupes” it
amounted to just tho costs in the case.—
Thus they both “made even,” snd were
released.
n. s. WHITE
plead guilty to being drunk, disorderly
and publio indecency. For all of these
it was impossible for his Honor to a' >
anything but the old 810 and costs.
JO SAND EES
had been taking too much tangle leg, and
it made him rather boisterous. When
aoeused ho owned up, end was lot off
with 85 and costs, without the usual lec
ture. Cheap.
j. w. HAYNES
hod also been indulging rather freely.—
Seeing how his companion in trouble
bad come out, be plead guilty, and got
the same dose.
DAVID BBANTLEX
lived in another part of the town, bnt
got equally as drank, and added some
profanity to it. He had forgotten that
he cursed, and plead guilty to the charge.
But the bad words used were worth 85
and the drank fivo. The cost will ran it
up to about five more.
FEBBY CABDBN
was arraigned for discharging fire arms.
Tho prosecution hod four or fivo wit
nesses to testify, every ono of whom
swore they knew nothing of it. Dis
charged.
HAHVZI O’SBIELDS
was arrested for tho same thing, and the
8amo witnesses were re-sworn. They
were as utterly ignorant of H.’sfiriuga
pistol as a man in tho moon could be.—
The Court thought something strange of
this, aud conld not tell what it meant.—
He was compelled to discharge him too.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
On Saturday morning as the driver of the
mail wagon was returning frim delivering
the mail bags to tho trains, his wagon
was oaught by a train ol oars backing to
make a connection. Before he was aware
of his peril, his wagon was being fearful
ly crushed and jammed. Ho leaped from
his seat just in time to save himself.—
Tho force of the train carried the two no.
bio black bones attached to the wagon
along with them, and bnt for their great
strength, and we might add, presenoe of
mind, in kicking and breaking loose from
the wreck, they might possibly have been
crashed also. As it was, only one of
them was hart, and that insufficient to
disable him.
These horses belong to Fire Company
No. 1, and are among the moat sagacious
animals we ever saw. Even after getting
loose from the wagon, they made no at
tempt to ran, bnt qnietly waited for or
ders, and did not display half the tremor
visible in several of the bystanders.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
A Man Falls From Ihe Church Roof at
Fora 7th.
A few days ago wo gavo au account of
the doings of the storm king in and
around Forsyth, and mentioned the de
molition at that placo of the fine now
church steeple. On the day following, a
man by the name of Cmigler, who form
erly lived in this city, in company with
ono or two other workmen, went upon
the roof of the chnrcli for tho purpose
of examining tho dnmngo done by tho
falling steeple. Whilo moving about the
root the workmen got upon a portion
that had the appearance of being sub
stantial enough tot their weights, but
which proved to be treuchreous, and gave
way, precipitating them to tho ground.
In the fall Mr. Craigler was severely
bruised and mangled, and at present lies
in a very critical condition. The other
men escaped with comparatively littlo in-
jnry.
The wounded man was at one* * taken
to the residence of that large-hearted
Christina gentleman, Mr. W. L. Lamp-
kin, where every attention and oomfort
was bestowed that could in any way re
lieve his grout sufferings.
Hopes are entertninod of his recovery.

July 21-3* _
Tilt New Schedule.
In our notice of tho new sleeping oar
sohedole to the North, of Saturday morn
ing, the timo was given as seven hours
faster than any oilier line, it should havo
said about three and a baU hours faster.
This correction is due to othor lines, who
are fixing up competing schedules.
For some time a gentleman connected
with the press work of one of our morn
ing papers has been missing various little
articles from his pocket, such as cigars,
tobacco, &c., and could not aooount for
their disappearance. Sunday morning
he oonclnded to watch (as well as pray,)
and as was his custom, after the paper
had been worked off, and'forms washed,
and things generally quieted down about
tho press room, he lay down for a little
snooze. His ooat was left hanging in its
accustomed place, and in the pockets
were a lot of cigars, a Colt's repeater,
handkeroliief, Ac. Pretty soon he saw a
negro boy enter and proceed to rifle the
pockets of their oontents. Just os be had
finished, tho gentleman sprang np, seized
the robber and called for the polioe, upon
the arrival of which, be was marched off
to the calaboose.
TRa Lata Races at GrlSIa.
In onr notice Saturday of the races at
Griffin, we called upon the Atlanta hoys
to cease ‘‘mouthing, pay upandgoslow."
This was given upon the information
that they had rather "jockied” the Grif
fin boys oat of the stakes; but since then
we have been informed by one of the
principal parties interested that, owing
to the Atlanta horse getting his foot cut
with the halter, it lamed him so that he
was on three feet, and consequently not
able to make the race, and tho forfeit of
$100 was paid by the Atlanta crowd.—
They say that the backers of the Grifin
horse claimed the whole stakes, and oven
side-bets, contrary to any procodont on
the turf record. This Atlanta would not
agree to, honco the report of booking
down.

Now at the time we read the paragraph,

rises to explain,” and, as usual, pats it
on tho poor printer. But even the state

one egg of that size on tho half-shell

NON-EXPLOSIVE I
A Narrow Eirapt from tin Banting of
a Coal-Oil Lamp 1
On Saturday evening a lamp was burn
ing in an upper room of tbs residence of
Mr. Tuttwiler.onFair street, and by some
accident the oil ignited, and almost im
mediately the house wus on fire. By
tho timely arrival of some workmen at
the foundry of Messrs. Porter A Butlor,
with the assistance of several neighbors
tho fire was extinguished without the
alarm reaching the fire department. It
was a very narrow escape from destruc
tion, as the flames had bunted ont in
several places in the roof before it was
quenched. Of uourse the oil was of the
non-explosive kind, and perfectly harm
less (?) (

MAD DOGS.
A Fatal Casa of Hydraph.bla.
Some ten days sinoe a large baU dog,
owned by Mr. Willis Venable, of this
oity, gave unmistakable signs of that ter
rible diseaso, hydrophobia. The dog was
at once killed; not, however, before he
had bitten a calf belonging to Mr. V.,
which was in the same yard with the dog.
On Saturday Mr. Venable noticed that
his call was strangely afflicted, its, hair
all ruffled, its cyoa green, and performing
til kinds of strange feats and bleating
terribly. This lasted lor some time, when
the animst died.
This is the first ease we havo heard of,
and will doubtless cause a closer watch
upon dogs. Should the disease spread
it is hardly possible for til to eeeepe,
while so large a number of worthless curs
infest tho city.
Will Atlanta Dave a Fair Next Fall.
This question is asked almost every day,
and the answer seems as far off now as it
was three months ago. Borne, Dalton,
and many other small places, are far ad
vanced with their preparations for Fairs
thiu full, yet Atlanta holds back with a
sluggishness that is entirely worthy her
reputation for spirit aud enterprise. It
is kuown that an Agricultural and Indus
trial Society was organized, on thu stock
company plan, some weeks ago. A per
centum of the stock has boen called and
paid in. Thus the matter hangs. No
premium list is in sight, and no prepara
tion for a Fair is now beard of. Whore
fault is it?
It is hintod that the delay is occasioned
by some hitch between tho City Goancil
and Mr. H. L Kimball, relativo to the
payment of the grounds. Bnt this need
not he so. Whether Mr. Kimball or
tho oity controls Oglethorpe Park, it can
be prooored for the purposo of holding a
Fair ; hence the society need not delay
on that acooant. There can be no differ-
enoe whether the company obtains the
use of the Park from the one or tho other.
The Fair oan go on all the samo and be
made a most intereating one if the stock
holders manifest the right interest in it.
U the purpose of the sooiety is to have
a Fair this fall, it is high time some prac
tical demonstration were made. U not,
let the publio be re informed, aud lot no
more bo said about
A MURDEROUS ATTEMPT.
A l*ollrenai
i Shot and Badly Wounded
by a Negro.
Shall (he Police be Protected In the Die*
charge of their Daty f
There can be no efficient execution of
tho municipal laws, and no safe protec
tion to peace and property of tho peo
ple, unless the police are protected in the
discharge of their duty. Law beoomes
worthless, becomes obsolete, unless it bo
faithfully executed. If thero is a law
npon the city statute book that ought not
to be executed, or one that is illegal be
eause of its oonflict with other and high-
er laws, it should bo stricken off at once,
that tho polioe may not bo subjected to
any risks while executing what ho con
ceives to be the law.
These remarks are oalled forth by the
fact that more than once lately polioe-
men have been banled up before Jnstioes’
Court, and subjected to an action for false
imprisonment A day or two ago a cir
cnmstanco occurred os follows : One of
the most efficient policemen in the oity
found a dog npon tho street without tho
legal badge. Tho dog was impounded
and, not being claimed within the re-
qaired time, was killed. The owner of
tho dog, thereupon commenced suit
against tho policeman for tho recovery of
8100.00 damages. It is needless to say
that the prosecution of tho claim failed
to recover anything. He cluims to havo
entered the suit under legut advice, tho
lawyer having nssnrcd him that ho Bhould
not tio at any expenso even though ho
lost tho caso. After the caso had gone
against him, the bill for costs was pre
sented. This he took to tho lawyer and
asked him to pay it; which of course
the '‘disciple" declined to do, notwith
standing the complainant called to mind
the previous promise made by his logoi
adviser.
This kind of procedure is calculated to
embarass policemen, and render them
less efficient and zealous. There seems
to be but ono way to preventing tho re
currence of such instances and that is for
lawyers .to absolutely and persistently
refuse to prosecute such cases. The
claims are illegal—if the low is legal—
and if there ore any lawyers in the city
whoso practioe is in suoh a precarious
condition as to drive them to this dan
gerous system of pettifogging as the only
means of obtaining a fee, they had better
abandon the law and go at something else
in whioh their fine talents would bo ap
preciated more highly.
This article is,written in the kindos tof
spirits, its ulterior object beine to check
an evil which is subversive of the effi
ciency of tho police. To have a good po
lice they must be left to look after the
interests of the city and arrest offenders
unembarrassed by tho apprehension that
they are likely to bo held accounta
ble for their acts at tho bor of some Jus
tice of the Poaco.
Hereafter, all sneh cases, os are alluded
to above, will bo reported in The Sun, to
gether with the names of tho prosocuting
attorneys.

A ICE HOUSE THIEF.
A Cool Depart arc with HU Kotploj.r'i
Moaijr.
On Saturday morning a man by the
name of Wm. Butler, who was employed
by Mr. George Eddlcmiu to deliver ioe
in the city from his agency, went out on
Ms rounds as usual, bnt up to this tim c
he has failed to return. He ia reported
to have gono to Rome, and it might bo a
good tiling for the Roman police to look
out for him.
He fobbed about 815 for his employer.
Saturday night our police went to his
house, in the neighborhood of tho Bolling
Mills, but ho managed to elude thorn,
and they suppoee he got aboard the train
at another station. No description given
of his personal appenranoe, but it would
he a eafe thing to arrest him if bo has
tho least favor of his grest cousin B. F.
about him.
Saturday morning, abont daylight,
Policeman Dixon met a negro on Line
street, with a bag on his shoulder. He
asked what it contained, and at the same
time put his hand on tho bag. Tho ne
gro dropped his load, drew a repeater
aud shot Dixon in tho mouth, knocking
out several tcoth, tho ball coming out at
the cheek. Tho officer was nut so badly
wounded but that ho was able to fire
several shots at the thief os he ran down
tho street.
On examination of tho bag, thero was
iu it two 20 pound caddies of tobacco,
whioh he had stolen from tho store of
Mr. Dunn, on Broad street.
Officer Hinton pursued the nogro on
horseback and headed him off on Calhoun
street, coming np very close to him.—
Tho villain took deliberato aim at this
policeman and firing two shots, then
jumping over a fence, made good his es-
cape, with a parting phoot or two from
Hinton's pistol.
This negro watt the notorious Webster
Tompkins, whoso many feats of raseality
and villainy have made him familiar with
tho prisons of this oity. He several years
since broke into the store of P. P. Pease
A Co., on Alabama street, for whioh he
was arrested, but never triod. Ho wus
captured in Knoxvi'le and brought to
this oily in irons at ono timu, bnt oaeaped
from tho offioor in oliargo after getting to
the depot in this city.
He camo near killing another negro
with an axe some timo ago, for whioh he
was arrested, bat was nover tried. He it
was who burglariously entered the store
of R. M. Bore A Co., lost winter, and
carried off a considerable quantity of
goods. Not two weeks ago he was or
ruignod before the Mayor in this oity for
striking with a trowel and severely cutting
the head of another negro. Tho police
are certain that he was ono of the bur
glars who assaulted Walter Maffitt lost
Snnday night, and now ho turns up Sat
urday morning with two boxes of Btolen
tobacco, and shoots all tho policemou
who attempt to arrest him.
Ho is a very bright mulatto; would
pass for a white man, and is a plasterer
by trade. Ho has a very innocent, inof
fensive look, and no ono casually looking
at him would think ho was capable of
such a list of crimes.
He is on old foo of tho police. They
havo arrested him time and again, and
turned him over to tho State author
ities for trial, all of whioh ho evades, aud
an interesting question with them, as well
as tho pnbHo generally. Why is he not
tried and punished for somo of his many
criminal acts? Pollcomon express them
selves as disgusted with arresting this vil
lain and ranuing tho risk of losing their
lives, and perhaps tho next day ho is on
tho streets with his liberty. Thoy cannot
see into it, and would liko for tho proper
authorities to explain this matter. They
notiee that when one of their force ia
compelled to knock.down such rascals as
this very Tompkins is, in order to arrest
him, thoy are ret upon by pettifoggers,
and aro hauled np befote a magistrate
charged with assault and battery, assault
with intent to murder, and so on.
Policemen hero havo very poor encour
agement in tho performance of their du
ties iu this respect, and unless there is
a change for tho hotter wo fear the servi
ces of efficient men on that force will bo
difficult to procure.
Alabama Picnic—Half Fair roc V lsltorc.
A lottor from Presidont Ponniugton of
tho East Alabama and Cincinnati Rail
road says: “Tho Commissioners for the
inspection of Railroads having been in
vited to examine our first section of
twenty miles on Wednesday, July 26th,
propose an Excursion from Opelika to
Buffalo Wallow on that occasion ; and
yon are respectfu'ly solicited to bo pre

bo passed over our Road free.”
THE STOIIM KING.
Terrible mow—Hall and Llglilnlug.
Btruck the water guttering over tho door
next to tho Exchange, mnahing it in and
unjointing the sections. Another piece,
still higher up, split the facing in a window
aud narrowly missing a largo French
glass pane. The street at this point was
literally piled up with the debris. Tho
police at one© removed it so os to lr tve
it iu a passuble condition.
An express wagon standing on Mail'd
ta btree't was blown over and rolled upon
tho sidewalk, in a dilapidated condition.
Tho storm appeared to be more set ere
in this neighborhood than iu any other,
bnt all the streets were more or li
strewn with pieces of awnings, signs and
broken glass.
Wo understand, but do not vouoh for
its truth, that a house was blown down
on Fair Street, aud a man killed. Also,
that another was demolished on Wash
ington Street At a late hour last night
wo had no confirmation of theso reports.
It being Sunday ovening, and a short
time before ill appearanoe, and a great
many people were out on the streets, most
of thorn having their windows up. The
rain came np ao suddenly that many had
not time to get baok, and consequently
great damage waa done to a large amount
of private property.
Thero may other and more sorions
damage, whioh the lateness of the honr
prevents it being made known in this
issue.
It was the most severe storm Atlanta
has witnessed in several years, and we
hopo it may bo longer before another one
like it passes this way.
LITER—A MAN AND WOMAN INJURED.
About 12 o'olock, last night, we learned
from Lieutenant Qaeen, of the polioe,
that the house on Washington street
which was blown down, waa ooonpied by
a Mr. Ogletree, his wife and ohild, who
were in the house during the storm. It
was a small framed building unsealed.—
Mr. Ogletree and bis wife were ittrj
severely injured, but to what extent ia
not known. The lady waa in a delicate
condition, and it ia feared the acoident
will prove fatal.
A gentleman extrioated the child, abont
eighteen! months old, from the rubbish,
and it was found unhurt
Other policemen who had been moving
around sinoe tho storm, report that in its
track was great destruction, but fortu
nately its width was small. A passenger on
tho 10 o'clock Macon train know nothing
of it till ho reached the oity, which gives
tho hope that its extent in that direction
was very limited.
HORRIBLE nAlLHOAD ACCIDENT.
Dr. Iifwlv J, Dupree Dreadfully Man-
fled.
As the regular night freight train on
the Macon A Western Railroad was com
ing up .Saturday night, a dreadful acci
dent occurred, about midnight, one mile
below Bear Crock. It seems that Dr.
Lewis J. Dupree was lying npon the track
and waa not discovered in time to pre
vent the ongino from running over him.
One of his feet was out off, bis legs were
broken in several plaees, the pilot struck
him in tho bock, dislocating his spine,
his shoulder was fearfully crushed, his
jawbone wes broken|and all of his teeth
knooked out.
As soon os the train could be cheeked
it was run book to where the body waa
lying. He was picked np, pnt on the
train and bronght to Bear Creek. When
first pioked np bo was able to talka little,
but was speochlen when the train arrived
at tho station, Ha waa left on the plat

VISITORS AND TRAVELERS.
There are qnite a number of strangers in
Griffin from the low countnr, ana many
passing through for the Indian and Cha-
lybiate Springs. The superior transporta

and Hightower, the well known enter
prising livery-stable men of this oity, it
attracting many persons en ronte to these
watering places, to Griffin, as they ctn
here secure oomfortable carriages and
phaetons in which to make the trip, in
stead ef going in tho old uncomfortable
ooaches that ran from other points.

About 6 o’olock yostcrJay evening a
dark and threatening oloud was observed
in an enstcrly direction, and low mut
tering thunder, with frequent flashes of
lightning, told too plainly that a storm
was [lending. Soon tho wind came whist
ling and twisting np tho streets in gusts,
raising thick clouds of dust, whioh for
awhile enveloped the city. At this time
tho sun had not been obscured, and was
shining brightly from tho west, throwing
a strange, lurid glare upon the sceno.—
The wind and dust were intolerable, and
those who were out on tho streets were
forced to take the] nearest protection
which was offered.
Then bunt a terrific peal of thunder,
instantly followed by huge drops of rain,
which lasted for a few moments, when
hail began to pitilessly pelt the city with
stones large enough to break window
glasses. Tho wind in the meantime was
increasing in fury with every gust—
Then it was that it raged in all its mag
nificent grandeur. Bain, hail, wind aud
lightning—fearfully mixed—were vicing
with each other in a furions contest,
which lusted tor about thirty minutes.
