AN ELECTRIC LIGHT MUDDLE.
Tbe Oglethorpe Company to Fight
the Thcmson-Kouston Company.
Asa doubt seemed to linger in tho minds
of some of the aldermen yesterday, that
the Thomson-Houston project to estab
lish an electric light plant here
has t een swallowed up by the Rrush
company, it may be proper to say that such
is a fact, and that amu b bigger fight is
likely to follow the swallowing process,
than the wrangle in the city council yester
day. as a big legal fight appears to be im
minent.
In February Win. A. Robinson, repre
senting the Thomson-Houston system of
electric lighting. Visited Sivaunaj and
enlisted some of the business men of the
city to form a company for the establish
ment of a Thomson-Houston electric light
plant. The proposition was received in
good faith, under the promise that if the
citizens would take $ IS,OOO capital stock of
the $50,000 for which a company was to be
capitalized, the Thomson-Houston Company
would locate the plant here. Under this
arrangement on Feb. 23. P. L. Peacock,
Lawrence McNeil, C. 8. Ellis, J. R. Young,
T. H. Williams, H. C. Houston and J. P.
Williams of this city, with Wm. A, Rob
inson and the Thomson-Houston electric
company of Connecticut, petitioned the
superior court for the incorporation of the
“Oglethorpe Electric Company,” and in
due course of time the charter was granted.
Meantime Mr. Robinson left the city,
under promise to return, at which time the
company was to ba organized and anew
electric light plant was to be establish ?d.
Instead of coming back, Mr. Robinson’s
co-incorporators heard no more of him, but
Mr. Potter, southern agent of the
company, came and had a confer
ence with the Brush company; and
before he went away the Bi u.-h com
pany had secured the sole right for the city
for the Houston-Thomsou system and on
the other hand in the exchange for some of
the Houston-Thomson • sectric apparatus
the Thomson-Houston electric company it
is is said was some S3O,(XX) or $40,000 in
pocket. The company paid the bills made
by Robinson, such as lawyer’s fee for draw
ing up the petition for a charter for its pub
lication and the court costs, and Mr. Potter
passed ont as silently as Mr. Robinson.
The real music is to como. The Savan
nah members of the Oglethorpe Electric
Company have the charter, and it is said
thev propose to organize the company juntas
if Robinson and the Connecticut company
were not off, and see if they cannot compel
the Thomson-Houston people to keep their
promises, or they will know the reason why.
They say they don’t propose to be used as a
cat’s paw to pull chestnuts out of the fire
for the Thomson-Houston company.
A* matters now stand the Savannah in
corporators look upon the action of the
Thomsen-Houston company as a shrewd
dodge to bring the Brush company to a
trade, but they claim that in that case it
took three to make a bargain, and having
acted in good faith in joining with the
Housten-Tuomson company to get a char
ter for the Oglethorpe Electric Company,
they propose to hold the latter to the
strict letter of the pledges made
when they joined in the petition.
Looking to this end a meeting of
the incorporators will be held at an early
date, and au organization will be effected.
Of the nine incorporators seven of them
are citizens of Savannah who meant busi
ness when they applied for the charter, and
it looks as if they mean business now . They
have the charter and propose to make tho
most of it. It was said yesterday by one
of the incorporators that the i’homson-
Houston company’ bad no right to disposa
of the exclusive right, of their system, or
any part of it, to the Brush compauy.
THE GARBAGE CREMATORY.
Material Arriving and President
Hugbe3 to Return Next Week.
The fire brick and other material for the
garbage crematory have begun to arrive,
and Dr. Harris, chairman of the health
and ob uetery committee, says that Mr. R.
D. Hughes, president of the United States
Gas and Fuel Company, is looking after
and hurrying up the manufacture ol the
exceptional shapes.of fire brick, etc., in tho
noi ih and that Mr. Hughes is ext octed
here by May 1, which will be about the
middle of next wees.
Prior to Mr. Hughes’ departure for the
north last month, he informed tho Morn
ing News that he could build the kiln and
tank within three weeks i -om the time the
material is put on the sit
The contract was sign* t i March 20 and
the crematory is to be constructed within
ninety days from March 25, giving the
company ample time to complete it. It is
the intention of Mr. Hughes to complete it
two or three weeks earlier if possible.
It is to bo kept in repair by
tbe company for five year- at a
cost to tbe city not exceeding SIOO per
annum, and it is to operate upon a basis of
not less than thirty tons of garbage daily,
delievered within ten hours. The cost of
cremating garbage, animal matter, etc.,
is not to exceed an average of 25 cents per
ton, the cost to bj determined at tho expi
ration of a four week*' run upon an average
daily cost of the last two weeks. A forfeit
of SSOO is provided for, for every cent of
cost per ton over 2 > cents per ton, to be de
ducted from the cost of the furnace. It the
teat proves a failure tbe city is not to be
bound to accept, but if it should be a suc
cessful and satisfact >ry test, tbe city is to
pay $5,000 for the eematory and 18 cents
per ton for the garbage and animal matter
burned during the t;ra of the test.

The address was of about three quarters of

The speaker was frequently interrupted by
applause.
Marriage, Dr. Boyd said, is cf divine ori
fin Persons should only marry f>r love.
Vomen should marry between theugis of
IT and 25, and men between 21 and 30.
Women should not, as a general thing,

there is a great difference in age- should not

difference in the ages of married people.
It is thought by some that the fir't child i

children in the country are, a
a general thing, stronger and healthier
In mind and body than those born In tho

To Extend Bay Street at Once.
Tbe extension of Biy street from Mus
grove creek to its intersection with the
Augusta road has not yet been built. The
county commissioners ordered a survey of

yesterday when Dr. Read, chairman of tho
committee od public roads, select and
Gugie Bourquin ami Jam * W. McAlpin to
act as commissioners to condemn the right
of way through lands where the owners
have not donated it. Commissioner Read
is determined to have the road built just a*
•oon as the necessary legal formalities are
complied with, and if the convict gangs are
too busy on the draiuag • work to uo it, he
proposes to have it done by contract.

MAY WEEK’S CROWDS.
People Coming from all Over the
State and Adjoining States.
Secretary Robinson is receiving daily let
ters and telegrams advising him of the

nent Savannah traveler in Macon says:
Get your subscription lists increased consid
erably. Savannah will have more visitors than
ever before in one week.
Another telegram, from Atlanta, signed
F. C. Owens, says:

May week will surprise you all.
The Macon Telegraph, says that tbe Geor
gia Southern and Florida railway w ill make
arrangements to send the Macon delegation
down in a special train.
Augusta and Atlanta are likewise ar
ranging to send their respective delegations
down on special trains on Sunday, May 5.
Tbe executive committee is troubled to
know how all tin people that are coming
can be accommodated, and the committee
urges all citizens who can to send in their
addresses and state how many persons they
are willing to accommodate during May
week.
Tbe restaurants are arranging to feed the
visitors and It is essential that the city use
every effort to see that tue strangers are

The finance committee is redoubling its
efforts and is gratified tonoto the voluntary

To Sufferers from Weak Spin®.
Persons suffering from weak back will
take comfort in reading the following letter
from Mr. A. W. Barrett, of Oswego, N. Y.:
Ten years rgo I was afflicted with a latue
back. The pain was so severe that I could
hardly walk or get about. Hearing much
said about Alu’ock’ Porous Plasters, 1
applied two to tho lower part of my spine.
In a week 1 was very much better. I put
u fresh plasters at the end of ten days, and
two weeks afterward found myself entirely
well. If I get a very severe cold, I some
times have a return of this weakness of the
spine, but Allcock's Plasters cure me in
three or four days.
