READY TO GO IF WANTED.
But Orth Stein Telegraphed Mr. Col
lin* Not to Come to Atlanta.
Mr. J. S. Collins did not go to Atlanta
last night, as was expected he would do,
after the publication of his letter bearing
upon the results of the Atlanta poker
game, and referring to a game at St. Si
mons, in which the judge and solicitor of
the city court are said to have taken part.
Air. Collins fully Intended going up to
the capital. He expected to go og busi
ness, as well as to see what was going
to be done about the matter. He received
o telegram yesterday, however, from Mr.
O. H. Stein, telling him so far as that
matter was concerned he need not come;
that everything was in good shape, and
giving the impression that Mr. Btein was
not so much worried about matters there
as has been made to appear. Air. Collins
says he has no reason or desire to take
un Air. Stein’s defense, generally speak
ing, but in the matter under considera
tion he says he is confident he is right,
and that he stands by what he has said.
The situation seems to have quieted very
materially, tiavannahians have been wait
ing for some dfcys to hear what was go
ing to happen'in Atlanta on account of
the O’Neili-Steln-Johnson row, which grew
out of the Atlanta poker game, and the
assessing of fines against the Savannah
lans for their participation in it. It looks
somewhat as if the matter had been drop
ped, though it is not too late yet for
it to be heard from. If he should be
wanted in connection with the matter at
any time Mr. Collins says he is ready to
respond.
A COMPROMISE AGREED ON.
Mrs.Frlerson lo Retain Her Children,
But Their Father Can See Them.
The petition of George S. Frierson
against his wife, Mrs. Fannie G. Frierson,
habeas corpus, for the possession of his
two children, Sarah Marguerite and Fan
nie 'Maud Frierson, came up for hearing
in the court of ordinary yesterday.
An answer was filed by Mrs. Frierson,
in which she denied that she had been
guilly of any unwifely conduct, or that
she had taught the children to hate him.
•She alleged that he had separated himself
from her and from his children, and that
for four years prior to that time had fail
ed to properly support her and them, so
that she was almost compelled to depend
on charity.
The plaintiff was represented by Mr. A.
C, Wright, and the defendant by Mr. T.
8. Morgan of SeabrooK & Morgan. Tho
mother appeared in court, and with her
were the two little girls. After a hearing
of (he case a compromise was agreed up
on by which Mrs. Frierson is permitted
to retain custody of tho children, and
lh*ir father Is to be allowed to see them
v. lenever he desires at all reasonable
hours. This compromise was a reed to by
•-.i h aides, and an order disposing of the
' tn that way was signed by Judge
'trill.

. , does it profit a
man to heap up riches if in doing so he
ruins Ins health and his capacity for the
enjoyment of wealth. There is no such
thing as happiness without health. Aii
the gold in the world will not make a
man happy, who feels in his veins and
sees in the reflection of his own face, the
slow but sure advance of man’s deadliest
enemy, consumption.
If a man will but take the right care of
himself and the right remedy he may
protect himself against this ” relentless
enemy. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Aledical
Discovery is not only a sure preventive,
but an absolute cure for consumption. It
cures 98 per cent, of all cases. It acts,
through the blood, directly on the lungs.
If drives out all disease genus and im
purities. It is the great blood-maker
and flesh-builder. All wasting diseases
yield promptly to its action. Thousands
have testified to its merits. Druggists
sell it.
“ 1 want to express mv heartfelt thanks for Dr.
Pierce's valuable medicine,'' writes Mrs. Rufus
Bell, of Wise, MonongaliaCo .W. Va. “Mv eldest
daughter, a girl of 15. caught cold and we lmd
the best doctors but could get no lasting relief
Gh, how she suffered! Often I have heard her
pray for death to end her sufferings. I bought
one bottle of each of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery, ' Favorite Prescription,’ and ' Pleasant
Pellets.' Before our daughter used half the med
icine her cough was all gone, and she was on the
high road to health—which means to happiness."
Rosy cheeks. The rich, pure, red blood
of health makes them. Keep the blood
pure and you will have them. Constipa
tion causes impure blood. Dr. Pierce’s
Pleasant Pellets cure it promptly and per
manently and never gripe. They are
purely vegetable and perfectly harmless.
No other pill acts so naturally and per
fectly. Druggists sell them.
SIXTY-EIGHT CASES TRIED.
Recorder Hartriilge Disponed of the
Largest Police Docket in lenrs.
The largest number of cases in police
court for some years was tried by Record
er Hartrlde yesterday. There was an un
usually large crowd on the pavement fac
ing the barracks, unable to gain entrance
to the court room.
Sixty-eight cases were tried from 9:30
o'clock to 1 o'clock without deviating from
the steady grind. . ■
It would probably have taken an inex
perienced judge the entire day to have
gone over the docket, which consisted of
offenders having voluminous excuses and
explanations to offer. Recorder Hartridge,
however, possessed the tact of discerning
the point of a case on trial and dispens
ing with all unnecessary harangue. The
accused were given ample opportunity to
testify in their behalf, but were silenced
from repetitions and talk foreign to the
charge. There was a good deal of com
ment concerning the expeditious manner
in which the recorder completed the work.
There was one class charged with firing
pistols promiscuously in the streets. A
fine of |25 or thirty days was imposed on
all-found gnilty of this offense, the court
giving strong emphasis to its disapproval
of such a practice. Aside from the fact
that the peace of a community is frequent
ly broken by the discharge of pistols, there
is great danger to life from stray shots
and especially in the more thickly inhab
ited sections. No trouble has been recently
had by the police on this account, but Re
corder Hartridge evidently intends plac
ing the fine high enough to forcibly im
press the violators. Following are the
cases tried:
John (c) drunk. 10 days, bar
racks; George (Jibbons, (c), drunk, 5 days,
jail; Dan Pinckney, (c), shooting fire
crackers, 5 days, jail; Angie Brown and
Alattie Clemmons, (c), disorderly, 5 days,
jail; John Lubeek and C. D. Myers, dis
orderly, 10 days; Walter Warner, same,
discharged; Darsey Rapley, (c), drunk and
breaking down door. 15 days; Annie Wilk
inson and Rebecca Haywood (c), fighting,
10 days; Jeff Waters, (c), shooting fire
crackers, 15 days; Josephine Law, (c),
shooting crackers, 10 days; Alaggie Wald
burg, (c), drunk, discharged; Charily
Gibbs, Eva Gallie, Rachel Graham and
Scylla Robinson, (c), assault with Intent
to murder, superior court, jail; William
King, (c), fighting, discharged; Walter
Vick (c), same, 15 days; J. R. McFeeley,
drunk, 20 days; T. Simmons, (c), assault,
5 days; Merry Walter, Sam Hale, Neally
Middleton and Elsey Mills, (c), disorderly,
discharged; Simon Mitchell and Jessie
Lufburrow, (c), fighting, 10 days; L. ‘Mc-
Bride, (c), firing pistol, 30 days; Maggie
Screven, (c), drunk, discharged; J. H.
Lane, (c), carrying weapons, city court;
Violet Dixon, (c), accessory to assault,
continued; Walter Warner and T. M. Mor
gan, disorderly and assault, 10 days; E. C.
Cuthbert, discharged; Alfred Patten, (c),
firing pistol, 30 days; Julia Clark, (c),
fighting, 30 days; Julia Francis, (c), drunk.
5 days; Addie Holmes, (c), same, forfei
ture; Andrew Gordon, (c), assault, 15 days;
Hester Mitchell (c), and Watson Cohen,
disorderly, 10 days; P. K. Vanbrackel and
George Kareda, shooting crackers, 10 days;
Frank Hopkins and Will Stidwell, (c),
sam.e sdays; Solomons Jenkin.% (c), draw
ing razor, 15 days; Julia Jenkins, (c), dis
orderly, 5 days; Walter Hendrickson, (c),
drunk, 10 days; M. B. Roos, drunk, dis
charged; Estella Jackson and Lilian Bo
gan, (c), drunk, 10 days; John Smith,
drunk and resisting, 30 days; James Hun
ter, drunk, 10 days; John Roberts, (c),
assault, discharged; Alike Nolan, assault,
continued: Alaria Wirght, (c), disorderly,
5 days; Walter Davis, (c), firing pistol, 30
days; James Joyce and Allen Brooks, (c),
interfering with officer, 30 days; Tom Wil
liams, (c), larceny, discharged; John John
son, (c), larceny, city court; Belle Turner,
(c), drunk, 30 days; Patrick Daley, drunk,
10 days; Nick Hangicos, drunk, 15 days;
John Kelly and John Thompson, fighting
on a vessel, 10 days.
Aluch assistance was given the recorder
in disposing of the big docket, by Assis
tant Chief of Police Reilly, who saw to it
that the prisoners were promptly arraign
ed. There were large squads sent to both
jail and the chain-gang.
Emancipation Dnj’* Programme.
The colored people will have two cele
brations of Emancipation day next year.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1807.
AT THE THEATER.
"When l.niulnit Sleeps* *’ Engagement
for Three Performaneea.
There are some plays which go'lnto the
purlieus of society for their "motif’ and
action, and yet present their story ia *
manner so bright and deft, and with such
finesse, that it Is Imposisble for an im
partial audience to take exceptions. ‘‘When
London Sleeps,’’ which was presented at
the theater last night, is not a play of that
kind. The dialogue is not bright, the sit
uations, as they were presented, are not
clever, and the lone of the play is not
elevating. There were only a few ladies
in the house at the beginning of the show.
Nearly all of them had left when it was
half over. And not only ladies, but men,
concluded that they could spend the time
more agreeably elsew here, and went away
between the acts without taking return
cheeks at the door. The company, how.
ever, carries a iot of really artistic scen
ery, and some of the people of the cast
are deserving of commendation for their
efforts. Miss De Nole, in the leading role,
made a favorable impression. The pla>
will be repeated at a matinee this after
noon and again to-night.
A great deal of interest is being evinced
in the coming presentation of "Prince
Rudolph,” by Otis Skinner Friday and
Saturday nights. The theme of the play
Is from one of Robert Louis Stevensoui's
earlier stories and is most interesting,
showing some of the vicissitudes of court
life in one of the tiny German principali
ties which were so numerous at the be
ginning of the present century. Mr. Skin
ner brings with him a company contain
ing such well known names as Frank L.
Sylvester, Frederick Mosley, John B.
Weeks, Ashley Aliller, Martin Jackson,
W. J. Constantine, Paul Gerson, John L.
Connor, Alaud Durpin, Ethel Winthrop,
Naomi Roberts and Ethel Browning.
There are five acts in "Prince Rudolph,"
the first being Farmer Leopold's cottage
in Dessau, the second, third and fourth
the palace at Lauter.heim, Kronefield,
showing different apartments. The fifth
act is divided into two scenes, the first
being the fortress prison, Drachenstein
castle, and the second again the cottage
of the farmer.
Next week, Alonday and Tuesday nights,
Alias Jane Knight will be seen in two
plays.
NEW YEARS AT THE Y. M. C. A.
Reception in the Afternoon anil In
door Ilall at Night.
New Year's day for some years past has
been made a red letter day by the local
Young Men’s Christian Association. It is
the occasion of the annual New Year’s re
ception tendered to the young men by the
ladies auxiliary. In past years these have
been delightful occasions, and the one this
year is being personally looked forward to
by the members of the association.
The reception will be from 5:30 to 10:30
o’clock. For the first three hours refresh
ments will be served and the evening will
end with a game of indoor base bail be
tween the Chatham Artillery and the
Young Alen’s Christian Association. The
teams have never been pitted against each
other and the result will prove of great
Interest.
Owing to the large number who attend
these receptions the auxiliary has been
compelled to limit invitations to the sup
per to young men, but the presence of the
ladies is greatly desired at the game of in
door bail later in the evening. The recep
tion committee of the association will as
sist in making the evening enjoyable.
The ladies auxiliary will meet this after
noon at 4 o’clock at the association build
ing to make final arrangements for the
reception.
CENTRAL APPOINTS AGENTS.
Mr. Freeman Atlanta City Passenger
and Ticket Agent.
The following circular has been Issued
by the passenger department of the Cen
tral railroad:
Mr. F. J. Robinson, city ticket and pas
senger agent, Atlanta, Ga., has been ap
pointed traveling passenger agent, with
office No. 205 Clark street, Chicago, 111.
Mr. Robinson’s territory will be Chicago
and the worthwest.
“Mr. James Freeman has been npopint
ed city ticket and passenger agent, Atlan
ta, vice Mr. F. J. Robinson, promoted.”
The office to which Mr. Robinson has
been appointed at Chicago is a creation.
The Central is reaching out for the busi
ness. The appointment of Mr. Freeman
to the Atlanta position will be received
with pleasure by his many friends here.
He has been in this city for some time, hav
ing been in the employ of the Central ever
since and even before his comiffg. He
left Greenville, where he held the posi
tion of agent for the road, to come to Sa
vannah to accept a position with Mr. R. G.
Trezevant, local agent. After filling the
place in his office with credit for quite a
while, he was appointed ticket agent for
the Tybee railroad, a position he held for
two seasons. The appointment to the At
lanta position of importance is evidence
of the esteem ip which lie is held by the
officials. It will be with the regret of
many friends made during his stay in this
city that Mr. Freeman will leave. AH
predict continued success for hirfl In his
railroad career.
Mr. W. T. Savage, western freight agent
with headquarters at St. Louis, for the
Plant system, was in the city yesterday
on a visit to the general offices.
A party of United States soldiers passed
through yesterday by way of the Plant
system. They were bound for Pensacola,
and came from Washington. All the sol
diers were young and fine looking men.
They will form a part of the garrison at
Pensacola. There were thirty-two In the
party.
Tourists are beginning to come south In
small parties now, and It is probable that
January will see a large increase in the
travel. One of the Hendrickson parties,
composed of aliout fifteen tourists from
New’ York and New Jersey, arrived in Sa
vannah yesterday on the way to Florida,
and all of its members are at the De Soto.
There are some other tourists here, but
they have been coming few at a time. It
is said the prospects still point to a good
season, however, though it will be a later
one than it has been heretofore.
CITY BREVITIES.
Benjamin Williams, colored, was drown
ed in the Savannah river a few nights
ago near the Savannah, Florida and West
ern railroad wharves. Williams was mar
ried. 23 years old, and lived In Charlton
street lane. The body has not yet been
recovered. It is reported another man
was also drowned in the same boat which
capsized with Williams.
Dangerous In the 'Greets.
Football playing in the streets is a dan
gerous practice. A game was in progress
among a crowd of boys at Bull and Henry
streets yesterday, when a lady, in passing,
was struck in the face by the ball. For
tunately she was not injured, but had the
ball been vigorously kicked it might have
caused a serious injury.
