Wade Elected City Marshal Huck* iters to be Furnished With Badges. It was supposed that the City Council was iiseussing the Congress street paving matter last uight in caucus. The body was out until after 10 o'clock and tliere was a rumor that some question had been raised about the signatures to one of the jki ving jietitious. When Mayor Lester inquired in the oikmi fc-sMn if there v .re any bids for the Dillon tra-t not u single one was forthcoming. -V German Bogart then offered a resolution au thorizing the City Marshal to offer all of the Dillon tract south of Seventh street aud west of Barnard at public sale in front of the county court, house . :i Tuesday, May 5.

Mr Wade was declared elected. The Market Committee, in a rejiortona petition in reference to street hucksters, re commended that the present ordinance be enforced.

Persons who rent stalls. aud those who growwhat they offer for sale and fishermen were rec ommended to have badges furnished free.

He thought that the green-grocers and the huckster.- who pay a tax should lie pro tected. There was about to lie some discussion, when Alderman Schwarz suggested that, Council should receive the report of the committee and wait until the ordinance comes up to discuss the question of badges. The report was accordingly received. The Mayor was authorized to execute a contract with Murtin Cooley to furnish Chattahoochee brick for puving at 0 1 ,‘c. per square foot.

Dillard, the Suicidal Negro, Convicted and Sentenced to the Penitentiary. F.. D. Dillard, who has obtained some no toriety during the past two months through pretending to bo insane while in jail, was j-ul o:t trial in the Superior Court yestrtday for forgery. AYhile his trial bus going on Dillard sat quietly in th.o court l-oom 1.-sid his counsel, W. \Y. Osborne, Esq, He kept looking at the floor, a:l paid no attention to anytLtog that was going on around him. K.ninuel Eielnlz testified that he let Dil lard have *46 ■•) on a draft, which bore the signature of one E. A. Snyder. Other wit in-s-v stated that Dillard caused the name Snyder to be written, and no one was pro duced by the defense to prove that there was any such jsnson as Snyder. From the evidence it , uppareut that the name S’ml>-r was fictitious and was invented bv Dillard. Th • prisoner was watched with 'considera ble interest Lv the crowd of spectators iuthc isiurtro en. He merely rubbed his hands together and occasionally worked his mouth us if trying to talk. One witness stated that he thought Dillard was lighter in color than when he was dealing in cattle. Sheriff Po ne:; was put on the witness stand and he said t hat the prisoner had undergone a bleaching, which is a very common thing with inmates of the jail. The jury soon agreed upon a verdict of guilty and without any recommendation to I mercy. Dillard had to be carefully escorted to the box for sentence, and he persisted in trying to sit down. Judge Adams, in pronouncing sentence, said to him that he had pretended to be crazy and had cost the county sl-50 for a commission of physicians to inquire into his mental condition. “That commission, consisting of three able physicians, pro liouneed you sane. The extreme penalty for your offense, forgery, is seven years in the penitentiary, and that term i impose upon you." After the sentence Dillard, in a rational conversation with the Solicitor General, saiii that he has *IO,OOO, and ho intimated that lie would like to par a fine instead of going to the penitentiary. He was informed that, his wealth would not avail hint much, and that all he could do would be to allow the interest to accumulate while he is serv ing out. his term. it will be remembered that one morning while be was in jail Dillard attempted to commit suicide l>y hanging. OVER FOUR MILES AN HOUR. The Coroner’s ‘lnvestigation of the Killing of Watchman Flannagan. i 'oroner Dixon held an inquest yesterday morning to investigate the killing of John Flannagan. which occurred Tuesday night,, the particulars of which were given in the Morning News yesterday. C. F. Baughn, a Savannah, Florida and Western engineer, testified that at 5:40 standard tune he was backing engine No. 2 at the rate of four miles an hour up the track, along the plank road leading from the Bilboa canal to Randolph street. He saw a crowd ahead and when within twenty feet of Mr. Flannagan saw him step on the track to get out of the way of an ap proaching dray. The, wit ness reversed liis fngine ami called to the fireman to put on >raki-s. The fireman was ringing his hell all of the way the engineer stated. The law allows a rate of four miles an hour at the pent, where the accident occurred. J. W. Osteen, who was walking ahead of Mr. Flannagan. testified that the engine stopped within fifteen feet of the deceased's body David Wilson, who was walking just behind, thought that the distance was not, over ten feet. He said that a man walking could not keep up with the engine. Several other witnesses were sworn. Joe Harris, the fireman, stated that the engine was running very slow. J. H. Behnken, a switchman, thought that, the engine was not running over four miles an hour. The jury rendered a verdict that John Flannagan was killed by engine No. 2 of the Savannah, Florida and Western, and that it was running more than four miles an hour. NEW MASONIC LODGE. “R T.

Sykes Convicted of Criminal Libel and Sentenced. J. A. Sykes, the former editor of the col ored organ, the Phwnlx, wus convicted in tho Superior Court yesterday of criminal libel. Peter Donegal, a colored letter car rier, was the prosecutor. The facts in the else came out in the trial of the suit for civil damage, against Alexander Me Hardy at the Do-ember term of the court, and were published in the Morning Nf.ws ut the time. The liL’luus article referred to Dcuegul as a viper, a loafer, a hybrid and a disgrace to the jmstal service. In the trial for daniiiges Sykes swore that he v,u< the publisher and proprietor Of the I’harnix os well as the ed itor. The defendant’* counsel argued that the article complain'd of was not libelous. The jury was no: out more than .‘ki uitnut-a. and found Sykes guilty.

Jones Proves a Jonah in the Box—The Memphians Pile Up 26 Base Hits and 25 Runs Off His Pitching A Chapter of Accidents at New Orleans—Nash ville Lays Out the Charlestonians. Tho winners of yesterday’s Southern League games were Memphis, Nashville and New Orleans. The home club received a terrific walloping at the hands of the Memphians. Nashville visited art emphatic defeat upon Charleston, hut tho score was not noarly so huge as that at Memphis. The closest playing was at New Orleans. The day’s scores were: Memphis, 25; Savannah, 3. Nashville, 12: <Jbarle<tqn, 8. New Orleans, 7; Mobile, .5. This closes the first series, and to-day the clubs wiil swing around and will play as fol lows: Savannah at Na-hville. Charleston at Memphis. New Orleans at Mobile. In the first s.-rii s of four games Memphis won three from Savannah, Nashville two front Charleston, one game being deferred on account of ram. New Orleans won four straight from Mobile The chances are that, the second seri>- will end differently. Sa vannah is not yet in condition to play good ball. Manager Morton reached Memphis Tuesday night with Emslie, of last season's Torontos, whom he has signed to pitch. He expected to have an extra battery before joining the team, hut was tumble to sign the men he wanted at anything like reason able terms, and so decided to hold off until the latter part of this week, when he will probably be able to get them at a price which the management can afford to pay. Jones was the Jonah iu yesterday’s game. He yielded twenty-six base hits, one of which was a home run and five were two baggers. The home team failed to hat “Bobby” Black as well as they did AVie graffe, but managed to get in ten hits alto gether. Memphis' heavy hatting won the game. The betting was not quite so strong on Memphis as it was last week, and fewer odds were offered, hi fact, there has not l>een a great deal of betting this season. The unprofessional sjxirt.s har e done the most of it in a quiet way, and have been their own “lambs.” The gambling which so discredited the sport when it was started here and threatened to destroy its respect ability has been banished almost entirely. Business men were unwilling to lend their encouragement to it unless it could be car ried oti roputab r and without pool sell ing and betting. Th n pool rooms were dosed up altogether la-4 year, and are likely to stay closed op. None of the league games since the first have been reported by telegraph, the man agement of the detailed reports tailing to receive sufficient patronage to justify them in carrying on the enterprise. The “ticker” is the only means of getting the result now except through the newspapers. The crowd at Sullivan’s billiard rooms yesterday, where the score was bulletined, was not large and when it saw how the game was going it ceased to be a crowd. How the Game Was Played. Memphis, April 20.—The largest crowd of the week wen: out to sae the fourth game to-day between Savannah and Memphis. The visitors were again easily defeated by a score of 25 to 3. Tho contest was not a very exciting one, and after Savannah had scored her first run the onlV interest that had been felt was cooled down considerably, as noth ing less than a shut out could have satisfied the audience after the locals had taken such a lead. The features of the game were MrAleer’s fine fielding and heavy batting ami Grotty’s home run. Savannah’s pitcher. Jones, was batted freely all through the game. Jones and Dallas were the battery for S;:\ojinah and Black and Baker for Memphis. The Savannahs left here to-night and will play at Nashville to-morrow. The Charleston team will ar rive in the morning and w ill cross bats with Memphis in the afternoon. The official score to-day was: MEMPHIS. A.B. li. B.H B.S. P.O. A. E.

Pujol was nearly killed by an accident lx- torn the game. Pit--her Kelly was broken up in stopping it liutted ball; catcher McVejr's fingers suffered; Cartw right was hit on the head, and even Umpire Atkinson got hit. Each side played ten men, and the shifting of rxisition made the fielding loose.

The National League opens its season on Thursday, April 28. The Memphis Avalanche remarks that Savannah don't seem to be such a soft snap after all. The attendance at the eleven games played between the Phillies and Athletics aggre gated a little over 50,000. The Indianapolis club will issue a ladies’ season ticket to sell for 815, and compli mentary ticket* will be issued to any of the clergymen who show an interest in the game. O. P.

The second num ber contains an interesting letter from President Morrow, of the Southern League. The “Rainbows’’ will go from here to Augusta, where they will play the “Mag nolias’’two games. They will then go to Atlanta and play the “tVilde Boys,*’ and from there to Macon, where they will play the "Finlays. - ’ The nine is as follows: E. TANARUS). Pots. p.: J. H. Lapp, e.; S. IS.

President Nick Young has prepared a circular of instructions for League umpires. After calling special attention to the changes with regard to the pitcher’s position and de livery of the ball, and drawing a distinction between the “dead hall" and the “base on a hit by pitcher,” he cautions the umpires against a number of sharp practices in dulged in by well known players, and con eludes by laying the injunction unon the entire staff to use their eyes to the best possi ble advantage, and above all things to main tain a perfect coolness under all circum stances. The big league; instead of helping the minor leagues are doing their best to squeeze the life out of them. Of course the small leagues are dependent, to a certain extent, upon the National league and Association for players. Instead of givipg them a fair show, they are trying to force them to buy the relrase- of men they want at fabulous prices. Manager Morfcou writes to the home management that it is almost impos sihle to get players anywhere at present without paying'high prices for them. “They think we’re made of gold down here,” were the words he used in his last let ter. By next week, though, when the Na tional League gets to work the chances are that there will be some releasing done, and that players can then be signed upon more reasonable terms. Wants a Tennis Tournament. Editor Morning News: As the game of lawn tennis seems to be taking quite a hold in this city among the ladies and gentlemen, I would suggest that a tournament “for the amateur championship of Savannah” be ar ranged, including the five following series: Ladies' singles and doubles: gentlemen’s singles and doubles, and ladies’ and gentle men’s doubles. The winners of each to be awarded the championship prizes. As the affair would naturally be both pretty and profitable, it might worthily be given for the lienefit of some charitable or ganization. I would like to know through the columns of the Morning News the opinions of some of our local tenuis players as to the advisability of such a tournament. Tennis. A WALL AGAINST REFORM. Alderman Bogart’s Amendment to the Charter of the City of Savannah. Editor Morning News: It is interesting to study in America as in Europe how newly honored politicians are ready to “jine the conservatives’’ and assist in erecting a dead wall against being turned out of office when their official conduct does not meet public sanction. If we are to have six hold-over Aldermen, all that ringmasters have to do to keep a firm hold on the public teat is to make sure of a Mayor to unite in their pur -1 loses and vve can have ourselves governed to our hearts content. lam not making any charges against the present board (some members of which in previous y<*trs were so conscious of their own unswerv ing integrity as to refuse to adopt a resolution not tp contract with each other, on the ground that they were as honest as other contractors), but a com munity as a body is crazy to place its liber ties and purse to the slim chance of reform ation, should the six hold-over Aldermen and their chosen Mayor, or seventh man, happen to have itching palms and a defiance of public sentiment. An Alderman's skin gets as tough as an elephant’s hide after a while, and should we be unfortunate enough ns to get some boodlers anil others “unwill ing to grapple publicly with the wrong do ing of their associates,” we would lie in a nice fix with no power to put in office a suf ficient number of new men to control public policy. X— J • 1 am only to® well aware, Mr. Editor, that the old ideas are passing away; the old safe guards considered sickly and sentimental, njid that an Alderman may contract with himself, and Aldermen may contract with each other.in public matters without even rutfling public confidence or rippling the smooth surface of otllcial etiquette. So much the worse for public morals and decent safeguards around the general weal. For Heaven’s sake, for liberty's sake, for safety’s sake, don't make matters worse by depriving the people of all remedy. Bury \ldennnh Bogart's resolution as deep as one of the artesian wells, and let the fires of purification burn to ashes all such dangers to the public welfare^ Louis A. Falmoant. Collecting Bad Debts-A Novel and Successful System.
