I f Savannah will not play here next Monday the Atlanta lovers of the game will perhaps not witness another game until next season. Nashville, Cbatlamoga and Memphis and the President all deneunce the action of the Savan nah club. Atlanta never promised to let Savannah have one of her own men to umpire a game in Atlanta, as the Savannah papers claim. Savaunah can never win the pennant. She is now out the race. Atlanta will win in a canter. Atlanta will leave next Tuesday for Memphis, where she will plav four games, and whgre she cluses the season.' The pennant is ours. Savannah will fly a coffee sack on a gas-post. Savannah wanted the pennant so bad that they would have resorted to anything to have gotten it. For’goodneaa sake read Thorn’s ad. Baklnfatrai) Quilt.

BA., SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1886 lEOK AT THE PAHK. Four Thousand People Crowd Around and Voder the Trapeze. Yesterday evening one of the la-gest crowds ever together in Atlanta witnessed Leon’s per formances. The Metropolitan Street Car Company placed eighteen care on their line as early as 1 o’clock, and every one going to the park was crowded up to about 5 o’clock. The great athlete walked out through the crowd, climbed a ladder and, after making bis announcements, came down and ascended a perpendicular rope to the main rope on which he walked, about a hundred feet overhead. He wore a beautiful, pink-colored costume, with the sign “Keely’s Entry” over his breast, which he said his friend, John Keely, had given him as a present. After reaching the top rope, the band struck up a lively strain and Leon walked the rope first backward and then forward, as if keeping step wit h the music. Then followed some fine acting in the way of hanging by his toes, lying on his back, etc., which pleased everybody. Leon’s “Leap for Life” is the most daring feat of bis many and fairly makes the chills ca per over the back of those who look at him like young goats or the flying squirrel over a sta ble roof. The place was badlv infested with little boys, who were really in the way and were liable to get hurt in the crowd. These boys would make all kinds of remarks while Leon was perform ing. ‘1 be Professor told how he would perform a week hence, and how his wife would run a ma chine over his rope and would hem and tuck garments and pans them to him. Many were out yesterday who never saw the noted Leon perform before, and to these the performance was most wonderful, astonishing and frightful. He is becoming more famous each day, and on next Friday afternoon he will perhaps be seen by twice as large a crowd as was out yes terday. Montgomery’* Fire Cliief. Mr. W. K. Jones, commonly known as Mont gomery’s “Buffalo Bill,” was through the city yesterday en route to the firemen’s convention in Providence, R. 1. Fhe whole-souled, genial Bill is ss handsome as ever, and never gets tired of blowing about Montgomery. He said to a Capitol man yesterday that “Montgomery could boast of the best firemen, the best and most complete water works, and the purest artesian water that ever flowed from the bosom of Mother Earth.” “Atlanta would give a million dollars to be supplied with such water. Just think! Galveston has to transport all other drinking water, and we squirt pure artesian water on fires and sprinkle our streets with it.” “1 say,” said the noble chief, “ speaking about water reminds me of the fact that I’m a little dry,—have you got anything here to drink stronger than Adam’s ale?” The pencil pusher put him on to the quart racket, and it was not long before the fire fiend was on the outside of a quart of cooling beer. “Prohibition don’t prohibit,” exclaimed Mr. Jones. * “Not much,” said the man of news. “ Well, vou can just say that Montgomery will never go dry, for you know the ‘good book’ says ‘ take a little wine for your stomach’s sake,’ and Montgomery is noted for good people who believe in living up to that part of the Bible, any way." Mr. Jones says Montgomery is on a boom, and has improved more this year than she has in twenty. She has four hundred volunteer firemen, and he says that ho hopes that Mont gomery will never have a pay department. Mr. Jones left last evening on the E. T. V. A G. for Providence, 11. I. Montgomery should be proud of the noble chief who has served her so gallantly for four years. UHiigerou* llogii. Editors Capitol: We most heartily indorse the recommendation of “X,” that dogs be ban ished from the streets. It is passing strange that the city council is so inattentive to this great nuisance and danger. A man has a right to own a dog provided the dog is kept on the owner’s premises; butitis not right for a dog to be off his owner’s lot un der any circumstances, save only in removing from one home to another; and then the dog should either be securely caged and hauled on a dray, or muzzled and led by a rope safely at tached to his neck Dogs are filthy, unmannerly, disgusting nui sances, either on the streets or anywhere else, even if they were not mischievous or danger ous, and no one should be permitted to inflict this nuisance on others ; and it ought to be a crime before the law to allow a dog to go a step beyond his master’s premises ; and a dog thus found on forbidden ground should be quickly killed by any peraon. Are we a civilized people, considerate for the safety and comfort of our neighbors, or are we barbarioua and care not who may suffer or be annoyed, so that our own whims are gratified ? Recently the grand jury adopted a recommen dation respectfully asking the City Council to prohibit dogs from going on the streets, but that body did not even give the matter a re spectful consideration. Is there now not a member of Council who has the welfare of the community enough at heart to call up that grand jury recommendation and force the Council to act upon it. Long time ago cows were probitod from being at large on the streets. There is a far more urgent reason for keeping the dogs strictly on I heir master’s lots. Occasionally a cow will book at a child with her horn : very frequently a dog will bite, and when he bites it ia a thous and times more dangerous than an injury from the horn of a cow. Doga when on the streets do no good. They serve no useful purpose whatever, either to in dividuals or the public, and ought not to ba tolerated by the public under any circumstances. They are far more dangerous than concealed weapons and should be more rigidly prohibited. What strange inconsistency to punish a mail who has a pistol in bis pocket and permit him to run his dog at large! Surely there must be a big streak of savage neaa in a man who baa such sn a flection for his dog aa to wish to enjoy the presence and com pany of the dog as he walks the streets, know ing that the lives and limbs of others are at the same time iu danger thereby; and also, that the dog on our streets is an unmitigated nuisance and has no redeeming trait or bhbit, ai d ans wers no useful purpose. City Fathers, we earnestly implore vou to abate this nuisance. Doao promptly and effec tually. Let us all suppress and cheerfully give up our sarage instincts ami indulgences. Banish Doos From tbs grants. Hnllrond*. It waa stated in last Thursday’s issue of The Capitol that the Richmond and Danville Rail road, or what ia commonly known as the Air- Line Railroad, was doing a fine business in freight and passenger travel. This ia a fact, and does not only apple to that corporation, but also will apple to the 0. R. R , A. 4 W. P. R R., Ga. R. R., K.T. Va. 4 G., and Ga Pacific R.R. None o these roads can d-ny the fact, as it ia known without a shadow of a deubt that the tinast showing eould be made by each one of them of their earnings for the summer months. Atlanta alone has shipped since the first of June last more merchandize than she has erer sent out before during any summer since she has been a city. These shipments have been espe cially heavy since the first of Julr last. We asked a railroader if he could solve the problem. His answer was that he could not explain, but he knew that the depots in the city were full of freight for shipment daily, and the through freight* had been enueually good all tbe sum mer—in fact they have no right to claim dull ness. The outlook for the coming cotton crop ia good, which will abvw another big income tc them. The fbtaro of Atlanta under her railroads is bright. Now let her citiiens go earnestly to work and build tbe Atlanta and Hawkinsville railroad and add another outlet for her mer chandise and a new supply of cotton receipts. G. LODGE LORE. x. or l.

W. .Blue, 77 Houston st. THE VAEVAHLE LECTUBE By Hr. Peck te the Eaat Atlanta Club Laet Night. It is an easy matter to get out a large crowd in East Atlanta for the purpose of hearing such a valuable and instructive lecture as was that last night by Dr. F. C. Peck. The house was well filled, and that community was thoroughly represented. The Doctor lecturned for about an hour on “What to do in case of accidents,” and every body considered it one of the best they ever heard. He gave simple means of rendering assist ance in case of burns, cuts, dislocations and poisons. In case of most all kinds of poison in ternally produce immediate emesis by giving a tablespoonful each of mustard and chloride sodie (table salt) in half a pint of milk-warm water. Make the patient d ink all this soon after swallowing the poison, and if it does not produce emesis repeat. When poisoned by preparations of opium, keep the patient moving. In cases of cuts use immediate compression to stop the flow of blood, always press on the side of the wound next the body if the vessel ruptured bean artery, but if it be a vein always press nearer the extremity of the limb. For burns, bicarb sodi is about the only preparation that, might be lately used by any one except a physician; mix it with linseed oil and spread over the burn. In all cases of fractuie of bones, dislocation, etc., obtain the services of a physician and have the unfortunate rest easy as soon as possible. The lecture furnished a great deal of infor mation and was highly appreciated by all who were present,and the entire attendance returned to the doctor their kindest, thanks for his kind ness in coming out. Hoiateln Cattle. While we have been urging the importance of manufacturing to increase our prosperity, we would not for a moment iorget that Georgia is an agricultural and stock growing Rta'e es sentially, and whatever will increase the welfare of our farmers, is of direct advantage to all classes, including tneichant, manufacturer, and publisher. Whatever tends to increase bis ability to produce a better quality or greater quantity is in the line of progress we must fol low. Improved seeds, improved implements, and above all, improved breeds of stock, we should welcome gladly. A long step was made in the right direction, when the Jersey cow was intorduced to supply our tables with butter and milk, and for a town cow, where quarters are necessarily small, they are all that could be wished, and now we could hardly be induced to do wothout our Jersevs. But on the farm and for the dairy there is a demand for a large cow combining the beef producing with the milk and butter pro ducing qualities, and this demand seems to be perfectly supplied in the Holsteins. They grow quite iong, take on fat easily when not milking, are beautiful, and give euomous quantities of milk of good quality, not quite so rich in butter as the Jersey, but giving so much more of it. As a dairy cow they leave nothing to be desired. It is on record that heifers have given 7% gallons of milk without high feeding for testing, but on just such teed as all stock ought to have. The records of older cows, some of them are almost beyond relief, reaching ten, eleven and even twelve gallons a day. Surely it would be a mean man who wquld insult such a cow by applying to the pump to increase the quantity. Wo are glad to note that Holsteins are so rapidly gaininga hold iu the South. L. A Heal Ncceaeity. We presume there is hardly a lady to be found in our broad land who, if she does not already possess a sewing machine expects some day to become the owner of one. But after the mind has been fully made up to purchase one of these indispensable articles, the question arises as to what kind of a ma chine to buy. It should be so simply constructed that the moat inexperienced can successfully operate it. The other points mainly to be considered, and which are the most desirable, are durability, rapidity, capacity for work, ease of operation, regularity of motion, uniformity of teusion, and silence while in operation. The “Light-Running New Home” fills the above requirements, and is said to combine the good points of all sewing machines, with the ad dition of many new improvements and labor saving devices. The price is no higher than that of other ma chines, and every lady who is the happy pos sessor of one may rest assured that she has in deed a treasure. , See the New Home's S. M. advertisement on another page of this paper. Streets That Need Improvements. Why the city does not improve a few of the streets in East Atlanta is a question that put ties the citizens in that locality. It has been rumored that a petition will be presented to the next general meeting of the council for work on Bradley, Eiard and Howell streets and the Bou levard, and only a small amount of work on these streets would make them decent and more 1 assablc. At present they are a disgrace to the city. It is evident that the boulevard, when improved, will be one of the most popular streets in the city. As it now stands the side walks are caved in and it is really dangerous for pedestrians to travel this way at night. Let it be fixed.
