\ Legion of the Hunter* Snared-How j
the Ho,- Take Indictuieuts b,
the V.raml Jury.
The “keuo" players were in deep dis
tress yesterday " hen they heard that the
grand jury would give its undivided at
tention to them during the day. Numer
ous consultations were hold, and there
w is a marked absence of certain w ell
known sporting characters from the
street*. Eumor had it that they had
taken time by the forelock and left for
part* where grand, juries cease from
troubling—at least for the present. It
'has been well known that in spite of the
indictment and puuishmeut last year,
heno rooms have lron in full blast all w in
ter. and in Tact tue business has been
in ever before aiaee the lit
tle game was tirst inaugurated in the city.
The boldness w ith which it was carried
on. however, attracted the attention of the
vigilant solicitor General. and material
was pi Teed in the hands of the grand jury
by Which it is said 14 names were pre
*entt*l l*ji* their consiitention. Ibe work
was continued all day, and in
tic afternoon indict meins were handed
to the Judge against 112 panics for
violation of the. laws against gambling.
Who these favored ones are is unknown,
the names of tho— ■ indicted lieing kept a
. , ret in order to further the ends or jus
tice. It is rejected, however, that the
list includes nearly every class of society,
from the overgrown shop-boy to the so
•-alk-d rspeetuble business man. There
i. among them a father who only stepj**d
in fora minute to see if his son was there,
and the son who probably was w aiting to
see if the old gentleman might not
tic out on a lark. The
merchant who--went w ith a friend from
Thomasville. just to show him the game,
and who uever had !>een in such a place
liefore,” is on the list. The well-known
old gent who wo. “trying to collect his
rent at 11 o'clock at night) lroin a man
who lie heard was there." is a prominent
figure again. There were several callers
at the Mornixu Nkw s office last night
whom heard t hey were indicted,and didn t
want their names in the paper. The eases
trill serve to relieve the monotone of the
next term of court, and will make busi
ness in legal circles, which is reported
veri •juict. more active.
Keiio is said to Is* a very fascinating
cauie to-the player, and very profitable to
the dealer, who eventually gets all the
money, as a percentage goes to him on
every deal. Some of those who own es
tablishment* live like %abobs. spending
their summers at Saratoga and I.>>itg
.Branch on the profits of the business.
Judge Adams, however, with the assist
ance of .solicitor General Charlton, will
probably take quite a margin off the net
receipts'. Several indictments were found
against parties for other violations of the
law. hut these, like the others, are for the
present w ithheld from the public.

The standing committees for the Episco
pal diocese of Georgia have prepared a
letter and are circulating it through the
parishes of the State asking Bishop Beck
with to rest from his labors until his
throat trouble is relieved. It is thought
and hoped that the Bishop will accede to
this petition, as hi 6 exertions may cause
permanent impairment of his magnificent
voice and lead to serious affection of his
health.
The 3lacon Graphic has the following
reference to the suicide of TV. A. Key in
this city on Wednesday: “Mr. Key was
•well known in Macon. He wag about
forty years of age. At one time he was in
the employ of the Central Railroad, and
run from here to Atlanta. Last year he
took a conductor’s place on the East Ten- j
uessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad, j
Here he remained until November last, I
when he was offered a position on the i
Savannah. Florida and Western Railway, j
where he has been engaged ever since.’’
A Brilliant Society Event—lnteresting
Ceremony at St. John's Church.
St. John's Episcopal Church was
thronged yesterday at 12 o’clock by a
brilliant and happy gathering on the oc
casion of the marriage of Miss Katie
Wheaton, daughter of ex-May or Wheaton,
of this city, and Mr. 11. K. Burras, of New
York.
The bridal party entered the church to
the strains of the wedding march. In
trout of the chancel a handsome arch of j
evergreens formed a canopy over the j
bridal couple. The effect of the
scene was heightened by the artistic !
arrangement of costly and beautiful
flowers in the form of a marriage bell. '
The ceremony was impressively per- !
formed by Rev. Chas. 11. Strong, rector of
the church, the bride being given away by
her father. ex-Mayor Wheaton. At the !
conclusion of the’ ceremony the happy
couple were driven to the residence of '
the bride’s father, where the wedding I
breakfast was served and congratulations i
were received from the many trieuds of j
the parties.
At 4 o’clock Mr. and Mrs. Burras were
escorted to the Savannah, Florida and '
Western Railway depot, where they took j
the train for Jacksonville, and will make
a portion of their wedding tour in Flori- j
da. and on their return will sail for
Europe.
A fashionable Opening.
The annual grand opening at David
Weisbein A Co/s was a pronounced event,
and the immense store was thronged with
ladies gathered to witness the splendid
•lisplav of goods. Carriages lined the
street,’ aud the gathering presented the
appearance of a public society reception.
In the interior of the building was a bril
liant display of laces and elegant goods
attractively arranged. The windows were
dressed with some of the most beautiful
and' costly domestic and imported floods
of every class and description, and all
displayed to the liest advantage. The
show cases were filled with valuable
articles, and the whole interior was an
artistic arrangement of fashionable aud
handsome designs of purchases.

THE CHAMPIONS’ ENCOUNTER.
The Scotch Athlete Win# the Fourth
Mutch for the Championship of the
World—A Brilliant Sporting Event.
The second contest in Savannah for the
championship medal of the world between
the Scotch and French wrestlers, Ross
and Bauer, took place at tbe Theatre last
night, and was witnessed by an immense
audience. Every seat in the building
beinc taken and the galleries packed to the
roof 6 The match was won by Ross, in two
falls giving him two straight victories in
this city and two in Jacksonville, Florida,
where he met the French champion for
I the first time in their encounter last week.
Previous to that time there had been a
great deal of dispute in the sporting
world as to whom the championship in
i Graeco-Roman wrestling belonged. Mul
doon. Christol, Bauer and others claimed
it. and to settle it Mr. Richard K. Fox. of
the Police Gazette, had made at his own
expense a beautiful medal for the cham-
pionship in that style of wrestling. The
first match was to have come off at Cm- I
ciunati. Several competitors had gone
there, and the medal had been sent to the
sporting Mitor of the Lnquinr, but a j
hitch occurred, and pending the settle
ment of the affair Ross was invited to go
to Florida, and accepted the mv Ration,
and there met the Frenchman, Bauer, for
the first time. The match excited intense
interest in sporting circles, and was wit- j
iu-ssed bv crowds of ieople. The struggle
last night was the fourth for the Fox
medal. ... . , . . .. !
Vfter waiting till after a o’clock the
audience began to be uneasy, and when
the curtain wan rung up gave vent to
their impatience by calls for Ross and the
champions. Col. A, W, Hall, formerly
with P. T. Barnuiu. stepped to the front .
of the stage and announced the contests,
and introduced Mr. Charles E. Davis, of
the Boston Star, as judge tor Ross and
Mr. C. B. Westcott as judge for Bauer.
The judges and 3lr. Hall, who
acted as referee, took position on
the stage, iu the centre of which a
lied of sawdust tour Inches deep
and about fifteen feet square was spread
and covered with a sheet of white duck.
The first exhibition was a feat of strength,
perform--d by 3fr. Ross, of putting a bar
of iru weighing pounds over hi# bead.
Tue act was done w itn seeming ease, and
the bar was raised four consecutive times,
and then lowered with one hand to the
floor. The next performaiioo was the .
remafkable feat of lifting a man seated in
a chair by his teeth, and holding the chair
for some "minutes.
The successful performance of these
exploits was greeted with applause. The
referees then announced the contest.
The athletes, dromon in the costume
prescribed by the rules for Gneeo-Rotuan
w restling, stepped on the stage. They
were naked to tbe waist, and wore white
tights, with velvet trunks. Their mag*
nitjeent physique and the outlines
of physical ’ strength and development
showed in every muscle, and their sinewy
arms and strong bodies told of severe
training.
Tbe referee gave the word, and the
combatants stepped upon the canvas at
diagonally opposite corners, and walking
lightly forward. clas|>ed hands, and re*
turned to their jssitions for the Gra-co
ibmi.an match. The struggle began ly
Bauer grasping Ross firmly by the
wrist, and followed with a series of
movements which exhibited the
si!|#-rior strength of the Frenchman, but
at the *auie time afforded a display of the
skill and agility of bis antagonist, The
first liout lasted titty minutes, and was,
with one exception, toe longest ever made
in the Greco-Roman style. The wrestlers
were dead in earnest and the struggle was
a splendid display of the powers devel
oped in- the athletic school.
The audience was enthusiastic
and gave vent to its excitement
by cheers and applause as each difficult
li-at was performed. The Frenchman
wrestled magnificently, and it was
plain he lmd lots of friends.
] ii the first bout he seem
ed to put on the most locks and get Ross
in trying positions, so uuieh o that when
by feats of strength or brilliant mamvuver
iiig the plucky Scotchman freed himself,
the crowd, excited by the imminence of
the peril and the surprise of his
escape, would cheer like un
army corps. There was some
dlssat is Action, and the Frenchman le
-caine ill-tcmtiered at his inability to cope
with his adversary. In the last of the
limit he was full of wind and vigor, and
dashed impetuously at Ross, lmring his
head against his body, which was ill led
out by the referee. Finally by a half Nel
son hold he threw his opponent, and after
a hard struggle rolled him to the carpet
and won the fall.
During the intermissions the amateur
-.purring contests -brought down the
honse." Some of the sparrers exhibited
! considerable skill, and certainly afforded
loads of amusement. Mr. Frank Ryan, a
well known Savannah amateur, appeared
in several of the exhibitions, and acquit
ted himself as a skilled light
weight boxer. The coutests le
-tween the others afforded amusement to
the audience, but were disastrous to the
good looks of the contestants.
After twenty minutes the athletes faced
each other for the second bout, in the col
lar and elbow style. In this style it is nec
essary to effect a fall from a stand
ing ’ position, and if either of
the wrestlers fall on the knee,
side or shoulders, and no
three points of the bodv touch the carpet
| they shall rise and begin the struggle
anew. Both athletes appeared in coats,
and grasped each other by the
I sleeve aiul collar. The bout lasted
but a few minutes, and resulted
: in a falj for Ross. The third bout was
! w restled eatch-as-catch can. The wrest
lers apjieared dressed as for the Greco
Roman. In this style any grip is allowed,
and only hutting arid gouging is
forbidden’. In effecting a • fall
. I*-th shoulders and a hip
must touch the canvas. The bout was
easily won by Ross after a brief struggle.
Great enthusiasm prevailed, and the
i match was decided in his favor aiul he
was awarded the purse.

A meeting of the Savannah Cadets was
held at their armory last night and the
proposed excursion to Nashville and com
petition in the grand prize drill was pre

compete for the prize. The drill will take
place on May 12th, and will be for a grand
prize ol $4.0i0. A large nu in tier or citi

Savannah’s Rc*pons* * the Appeal#
from the YVet—Nearly Two Thousand
Dollars Already Subscribed—The Re
lief to be Sent Forward To-day—More
Help Wanted.
A meeting of the soliciting committees
and citizens interested in organizing the
relief fund for the sufferers iu the Ohio
valley was held in the Exchange chauilnjr
yesterday. The meeting was called for
the purpose of securing a distribution of
the fund in localities where it is most
needed. Mayor Lester recommended the
information of the New York Me raid in
the matter, and accordingly telegraphed.
• asking where the funds would render the
most effective relief, and received the fol-
lowing reply:
Rufus E. Lester, Mayor, Sacattnalt:
“Lawrenceburg. Irid.; Shawneetown,
111.: Newport. Kv.; New Richmond. O.:
Davton. Kv. ’ Jas. G. Bennett”
Accordingly an adjourned meeting will
be held at the’ Long Room at noon to-day.
when the equalization of the fund will be
made and the amounts forwarded to the
committees having in immediate charge
the charity in the flooded districts, where
a most capable and conscientious admin
istration has resulted in the use of every
cent that has been contributed w ithout
loss. The magnitude of the disaster
could not be told when the flood was at
its height, and it is only since the waters
have receded and the desolate and
ruined waste is brought to view
that R is possible to conceive
of the extent of the misfortune, The peo.
pie have no newspapers to make kuown
their distress, In one town sixty-five
bouses are overturned by the side of the
road; iu another the school house, turned
into a hospital, contains two hundred sick
people. F'evers and pneumonia are preva
lent. and hundreds of people “are with
put house, food orclothing, and wip he far
months to cpmeM -M ibawneetown,
long a pretty and prosperous little city,
only thirty houses are out of water. Two
thirds of one county are under water, and
the “bottom" lands of the river counties,
where the most fertile farms were, are en
tirely covered. ’
Such being the situation at points spe
cially named in the above dispatch, the
condition of the many other flooded local
ities may lie imagined, and the need of iu
stapt apd large relief be comprehended.
The generous manner in which Savan
nah has responded to the appeal shows
how ready the people of the South are to
help the -distressed sufferers. Although
the lower portion of the city has been can
vassed by the committees, yet a great
part has yet been afforded no opportunity
of giving. In view of this fact w e would
suggest that a committee tie appointed to
receive subscriptions from the residents
of tbe quarters that have not
yet lieeu canvassed. The total
amount subscribed up to last night was
$1.554 35.
The amounts reported to the Treasurer
by the several committees are as follows:

The Missing Night Wat Chilian —Rumor#
as to His Disappearance.
Nothing has been heard of the missing
nigbt watchman, Houston, who mysteri
ously disappeared from the custom house
last. Saturday night. 3'arious rumors
have been circulated as to the causes
which lead to his disappearance, but.
Upon investigation, it is believed that the
reports have originated in the imagina
tion of those having a theory rather than
a fact upon which to base their opinion.
Whether Houston was accidentally
drowned, whether he was foully dealt
with, or whether he has voluutarily.eon
eealed himself, are questions which are
yet to Tie answered, if it Ik* that his body
is lying somewhere in the river, it is
probable the waters will in a few hours
give up their dead.

grace to the County—Roads and Bridge#
—The County Officers.
-Vs the closing period of the present
term approaches, we. the grand jurors of
the Superior Court of Chatham eeunty,
tor the fall term of 1992, come to respect
fully submit our report on the matters of
public importance concerning which His
Honor. A. P. Adams, the presiding Judge,
so clearly charged at the commencement
of our term.
But before proceeding w ith this report
we desire to place on record our high ap
preciation of the impartial manner in
which His Honor, Judge A. P. Adams,
has conducted the business of his court;
for his determination to clear the docket
speedily and with justice; and for the
courteous consideration he has shown
both to jurors and practitioners. We
pray that his services to this community
may continue to be as fruitful and lasting
in results as they have already proven to
be beneficial and successful.
After the prosecution of our duties we
feel gratified to submit the follow ing as
the result of our investigation, viz:
The County Treasurer’s books and ac
counts are properly vouched for, carefully
kept and all correct.
TAX RECEIVER.
The books of this officer are neatly kept
and In accordance with the law. The ex
hibit for the year 1882 shows as follows:
Value of taxable property of whitessl7,777ll6 1
Supplemental returns " 157,605
Total whites. $17,934,721
Total colored . isy.79l
$18,134,513
Total value property in default L 227.276
Grand total . . $20,361,788
Number of white polls . , 4.141
Number of colored poll# 4,024
Total polls . 8,165
While the total polls amount to 8,165 in
1882, there were actually collected for
same only $2,346. The poll tax digest
contains the names of a large number of
persons who have died or have moved
away from the county. We would, there
fore, recommend that the Tax Receiver l>e
instructed to revise the returns and pre
pare a list which will be a correct ex- -
hihit of all male inhabitants who should
return and pay poll tax especially, so as
the new tax'digest will !>e. opetu-d on
April 1, prox.
The Sheriff’s hoqks are iu perfect order.
The Ordinary’s office and books are in
perfect order.
The Clerk of the Superior Court’s liooks
and papers are in the most perfect order,
and apparently correct. We can but con
gratulate the late incumbent, Chas. S.
Hardee, and his efficient deputy, upon the
thorough and systematicmapner in whieh
the business of his office was conducted,
considering its overcrowded condition
with old liooks of record and papers,
which are constantly being referred to.
The premises occupied at present being
entirely inadequate for the tiling away of
old records in proper order for reference,
we would reeoiptuend their enlargement.
PAY OK JURORS.
The present pay to jurors of $1 per diem
we consider to be too small an allowance,
and would recommend that it be increased
to $2 per day. We do this because a ma
jority of the’ men being drawn for jury
duty’are laboring men, who can earn more
when not serving as jurors.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS. ’
We must express our entire satisfaction
with the progress and efficiency displayed
by the pupils in the different departments,
all of which we visited in company with
the Superintendent of the Board of Edu
cation. The buildings are all in pretty
fair order and well ventilated, except iu
F'air Lawn school house for colored chil
dren, where the quarters are entirely in
adequate for the number of scholars in
attendance. This matter, however, will
Ik* remedied in the course of about two
months, as the building now in course of
construction will Ik? finished and provide
ample room. This building, which is to
he known a# the East Broad Street School
| (for colored children), when completed
will have the best arranged and liest ven
tilated rooms of any of the schools in the
city, There are in attendance at the city
schools 3,010, and at the country school's
1,279 children, making a total’ of 4,289
children. It requires 79 teachers for this
large number ol pupils. The expense per
’ capita of the pupils is $9 40. We most
earnestly recommend that the countv ap
propriate, as heretofore, $35,000 for the
pur|M>se of carrying ou successfully this
-most beneficial work.
CONVICT CAMP.
We are pleased to find everything
pertaining to this camp in good
order. The camp is located about
five miles from the city. There are
I chief, 1 quartermaster, 7 guards and
64 convicts. These are bountifully sup
plied with good, substantial food and
comfortable clothing. The commissary is
well stocked with everything that is nec
essary for the comfort of those in camp.
The doctor visits camp every Tuesday and
Friday, A minister is employed to visit
camp every Sunday to administer spirit
ual consolation. At present there are but
four convicts on the sick list.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
The court house is inadequate for tbe
public service. The vaults are too small
and need enlargement. We consider it a
disgrace to the community, and would
recommend that it be enlarged, thorough
ly cleansed, painted and refurnished
throughout, and thus be made adequate
for the public business and comfortable
for those who are compelled to occupy it.
The inmates of the jail are as well cared
for as the limited size of the building will
permit. The cells, 48 in number, are but
3>i feet wide by feet long, illy venti
lated, without means of warmth, and
many of them dark; yet into these small
holes are often placed three or four pris
oners at a time.
The passage ways in front of these cells
are the only spaces allowed for the exer
cise of prisoners, and are utterly inade
quate for the purpose. We consider this
building, also, a disgrace to the commu
nity, and the confinement of prisoners iu
such limited quarters an outrage.
Our predecessors, the grand jurors of
the spring term of 1882, made certain rec
ommendations regarding the erection of a
new jail and the extending of the court
house east to Drayton street, and also
suggested a method for raising the funds
necessary for the successful completion of
the work’. We do most heartily indorse
those recommendations, believing them to
le eminently just and proper, arid we in
vite the Honorable County Commissioners
to use their active endeavors towards the
early commencement and speedy comple
tion of the said work, whieh is of so great
importance to our county.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Tlie books in this office are ample for the
requirements of the service. They are
kept in a neat, clear and comprehensive
manner. The following books constitute
the records of this office, hut we are un
able to give any results of the year’s busi
ness, as their fiscal year ends on
March 1, and will fall within
the province of our successors, viz.:
Record of the county poor, record of pay
ments for county i>oor,.docket of bills
passed and receipted, record of warrants
issued on Treasurer; journal, number of
scrip and amount of same; book, applica
tion for liquor license; book, bond for
liquor license: book, receipt for liquor
license; book, receipts for amount turned
over to County Treasurer; minute book,
ledger, general summary of accounts,
KOAIIS ANP BRIDGES,
The roads and bridges in the county are
generally in a fair condition, considering
the wet season. The Ogeechee road needs
considerable work in some places. The
road leading from the Ogeechee to White
Blufl'road, about six miles from the city,
is almost impassable. The bridge over
the creek near White Bluff church is in a
dangerous condition and needs attention.
The Huguenin road is in its usual bad
condition and should be attended to.
The road leading from the eitv to the
Savannah, Florida and Western Railway
wharves Is in bad condition and should
have attention,
~ COUNTY OFFICERS.
Magistrate M. F. Molina having kindly
placed at our disposal the use of his pri
vate office, we notified the several county
officers who reside beyond the city limits
to present their books at that place on the
Bth inst. for examination.
The following officers responded, and
we submit the following report of our ex
amination of their books:
First. Magistrate Jefferson Roberts, of
the Fifth district. We found his books
correctly kept.
Second. Magistrate W. H. Matthews, of
the Fifth district. We found his books
correctly kept, with the exception that he
has entered costs in lump charges. He
was advised that costs should lie entered
in an itemized form.
Third. Magistrate J. T. Fogarty, of the
Eighth district. We are unable to certify
to the books of this officer, having discov
ered the following irregularities:
First. In case of the State vs. John W il
liams. Assault and battery. February
18, 1382. Warrant $1 25, arrest $1 25.
bond $3 00— $550. Paid by defendant. Case
dismissed, prosecution failing to appear.
Second. State vs. Eddie Screven. As
sault and battery. May 15, 1832. War
rant $1 25, arrest $1 25, bond $3 00—$5 50.
Paid by defendant. Case dismissed.
Not guilty.
Third. State vs. Alex Sandiers. Assault
with inteut to murder. June 4, 1882.
Warrant $1 25, arrest $1 25, bond $3 00—
$5 50. Paid by defendant. Case die
missed or trial.
Fourth. State vs. Sil Fkl^wards. Assault
and battery. July 31, 1882. Warrant $1
25. arrest $1 25. bond $3 00. Paid by de
fendant. No record of disposition of ease.
Filth. State vs. Samuel Reed. Breach
of peace and carrying concealed weapons.
August 14, 1882. Warrant $1 25, arrest
$1 25, two bonds $6 00—$s 50. Received
$2 20. No record of by whom paid. Case
dismissed.
Sixth. State vs. Julia Williams. Main
taining and keeping a tippling house. De
cember 16,1882.
The Magistrate being asked to show
the law under which he issued this
warrant, and lieing unable to find it.
was requested to produce the war
rant, when it was shown that
it was issued against the party for “keep
ing a lewd house.” We having summoned
the prosecutrix in this case learned that
two other warrants had been issued as
hearing in same, one against Sam John
son and one against Scott Greene. Magis
trate confessed to having issued the war
rants against these parties, but failed
to• record same on - his docket. We
And the books of Magistrate F'ogar
ty very badly kept, names of parties en
tered theretu spelled ineorrectlv. We
therefore cannot refrain from expressing
the'opinion that a Magistrate who cannot
even write correctly the names of parties
against whom he issues warrants, is not a
suitable parson to hold the office whieh he
occupies.
Fourth. Magistrate Henry Beiber,
Seventh District. Found his iwoks cor
rectly kept.
Fifth. Magistrate McLeod King,
Seventh District. Found his liooks cor
rectly and neatly kept.
Sixth. Magistrate M. F. Molina, Third
District. We take pleasure in pronounc
i ing his books as more thoroughly sys
| teinatic and clearly kept, than
any which they examined,
and they are worthy of being adopted as
a standard by which all the officers’ books
should be kept.
They were found correct.
Ou the 9th we continued our examina
tion, first calling on Magistrate S. El
singer, F'irst District. F'ound his hooks
correctly kept.
Second. Magistrate Waring Russell,
Jr., Third District. Fouud his books cor
rectly and very neatly kept.
Third. Magistrate Isaat: Russell, Sec
ond District. Found his books correctly
and very neatlv kept, but the record not
brought up to date, owing, as he informs
us. to his late illness and ab
sence from the city because of same.
Fourth. Magistrate James Dooner,
Second District . We found his books cor
rectly kept, but the following irregularity,
which we deem it our duty to report:
State vs. T. T. Tompkins. Cheating and
swindling. Warrant $1 25; arrest $i 25
$2 50. Collected from defendant. Marked
on docket, “Discharged on examination."
Magistrate Dooner failed to produce the
warranty for examination.
The exception in this case was noted by
us on Magistrate Dooner’s books.
Filth. Magistrate M. Naughtin, Fourth
district. F'ound his books correctly kept.
Sixth. Magistrate Z. L. Strickland, First
district. While liis books are clearly kept,
we discovered the following irregulari
ties, which we noted on same:
McGuire & Bowden, copartners, vs.
Henry Kuck. No cause. No date. May
term. Amount $65 50. Marked settled
and defendant paid $4 95. No itemized
account of cosns.
Ilenrv Bruet vs. Adam Johnson. No
date. July term. Account $5 50. Costs
collected $7 20. Judgment against gar
nishee, but no garnishee entered on
docket.
On the 14th, the books of Magistrate
Jas. T. Buckner, Sixth district, were ex
anined and found correct.
Magistrate W. R. Pritchard has not
presented any book for examination, in
explanation of whieh he informs us that
he has not had any cases in his district,
viz., the Sixth.
Y\ e have withheld our recommendation
from the application of William Allen for
appointment as a Notary Public and ex
officio Justice of the Peace, believing the
present number of Justices to be more
than sufficient for the public good.
In closing we desire to return our
thanks to the officers and bailiffs of the
court tor tlieir courteous attention during
our term, and especially to the Solicitor
General, Walter G. Charlton, to whom we
feel indebted for the accomplishment of
our work. We congratulate the commu
nity upon their having an officer so zeal
ous" and untiring in his efforts to secure
the proper enforcement of the laws.

HECKER'S PERFECT BAKING POWDER,

samples analyzed by Dr. Love were fur
