Artesian Well—Chief Engineer Dunn
Considered the Well the Biggest

Alderman Bailey Eelieves In Com
pelling Railroads to Build Terminals
on City Grants—Aldermen Myers and
Bailey Indulged in a Little Sharp
Discussion as a Result—The Electric
Clock Projectors Refused Further
Concessions.
The passage of the ordinance granting
the use of streets and terminals to the
Macon, Dublin and Savannah railroad on
the line of the report already published in
the Morxisg News was the principal busi
ness transacted by the city council last
night.
Alderman Myers offered the following
substitute to section 6, with the explanation
that it was done for the purpose of plscing
the tracks in control of tha Macon, Dublin
and Savannah, which is expected to build
them:
sec. 8. Be it further ordaiDed, that the said
mayor and aldermen of the city of Bavaunah
ilo hereby expressly reserve the rieht to grant
tiieir consent to the use of the said streets, and
the use of the tracks of the said the Macon,
Dublin anil Savannah Railway Company
thereon to any other railroad company or cotn
jianiea that may hereafter be built, and to
whom they may at any time desire to grant
saiil privilege, said other railroad company or
companies to pay for the use of the tracks of
the said Macon. Dublin aud Savannah Railway
Company such comiiensation as the said M icon.
Dublin and Savannah Railway Company and
other company or companies may agree upon,
and In case of their failure to agree
the same shall be adjusted by a board of arbi
tral rs. one chosen by the city of Savannah,
one chosen by such other railroad and one by

as to seriously interfere with the traffic which
the said Macon, Dublin and Savannah railway
may acquire from time to time, and should
said Macoo. Dublin and Kavannahlßallway Com
pany complain that such interference had en
eueu. this complaint shall lie heard and de
termined by the hoard of arbitrators hereinbe
fore mentioned.
ALDKRMAX CAN.VS AMENDMENT.
Alderman Cano offered an amendment
to section oof the ordinance, providing that
the control of the big experimental artesian
well on ODe of the lots included in the graut
remain with the oity. This met with a
little opposition from Kngineer Dunn, of
the Macon, Dublin and Savannah, who was
present. He didn’t think it right to restrict
the road as to the use of the water from the
well. The engineer said that the projectors
of the road looked upon the artesian well as
one of the principal advantages of the lots,
because they expected to use tho water for
washing out engines, etc.
THE WELL AN ISSUE.
Alderman Cann said be would oppose the
ordinance unless the control of the well was
left with the city. He wanted to And out
what effect the use of the well would have
upon the others borod by the city. Maybe
the city would not need the water or have
any reason to restrict its use, but never
theless 82,500 had been sunk in
the experiment, and Alderman Cann
considered it bad policy to give
away the control of the well. After the
road is built possibly the city can make sat
isfactory arrangements for its use.
Engineer Dunn said the Macon, Dnbliu
and Savannah wouldn’t object to the equal
use of tbe water, but it never expected to
be restricted to its use. He was left under
the Impression by most people who bad
talked to him that the road was getting
great consideration from the city; that the
lots in tbe western part of the city were
very valuable and wore more in tho nature
of a gift thau anything else.
ANXIOUS FOR THE WELL.
Engineer Dunn said he had been left un
der the impression that the $2,500 purchase
money was mere bagatelle. The water is
the most valuable part, to the railroad, of
the matter.
“But we keep our water for sale,” said
Alderman Charlton.
“And you had your lots for sale also,”
was the rejoinder of Engineer Dunn.
Alderman Cann ca led attention to the
fact that the Central railroad pays to
the city $2,400 a year water rent
aDd tne Savannah, Florida and Western
about the same amount. He wasn’t
Baying this to make the Macon, Dublin and
Havannah pay for water, but to catl atten
tion to the action of the other roads. From
the complaint the alderman has heard
from engineers about the effect of artesian
water upon boilers he didn’t think there
ought to be so much auvie’v to secure it.
Alderman Cauu said he thought the objeot
of the road was to get into the city, and
the expense of securing the water wasn’t
much of a consideration anyhow.
A CONSIDERATION.
“But wo think it is a consideration,”
freezingly replied Engineer Dnnn.
“But on this question I am voting in the
city’s interest,” sharply answered Aider
man Cann.
This ended the discussion of the water
question, and the amendment was adopted
unanimously.
Alderman Bailey then raised a little sharp
discussion by tackling the ordinance. He
wanted to know whether the intention was
to have the Macon, Dublin and Savannah
build into Savannah on its own property or
simply to come in over another track and
•till hold property given by the city.
TO COMPEL, THE ROADS TO BUILD.
The alderman believes that roads should
be compelled to build in. His idea in grant
ing considerations to railroads is to have
them establish terminals, build shops, eco.,
thereby giving work to more people and in
creasing the city’s population.
“There is the South Bound rail
road," said Alderman Bailey,” which
was given valuable property to
come into Savannah. Has it come in or
used it? I defy any one to say that the
South Bound is built to Havannab, and yot
that corporation has title to valuable proper
ties granted it under the impression that
the road was to be completed to the
city and establish terminal and shops. Does
It help the working people to any extent
r build up a city in population to have sev
eral roads coming in on one track i The
merchants may be benefited a little, but not
:he jieople generally.”
DIDN’T THINK HIM WELL POSTED.
Alderman Myers arose to reply and
prefaced his remarks with the statement
that he didn’t think Alderman Bailey was
very well p sted on the subject he was
talking about. Alderman Myers was
promptly interrupted by Alderman Bait y
it this point with the rejoinder that he felt
is well posted ns the chairman of the spe
sial committee on railroads.
“This is a commercial city,” continued
Aldermau Myers, “and I don't see what
difference it makes if several roads combiue
to come in on a common track. What does
the increasing of the values of a little prop-
Hty in the western part of the oitv by the
building of terminals amount to alongside
the inoreaso in commerce brought about by
the roads coming here? The South Bound,
nlthough anew institution not built into
the city, has already made its impor;ance
felt iu the commercial community.”
ALDERMAN BAILEY’S REPLY.
Alderman Bailey was on his feet the mo
ment Aldermau Myers finished speaking,
lie was excited aud ms countenance showed
It. “The atatemeut I made,’’ said he, “did
not in the least justify the remarks of
Alderman Myers. I don’t own one dollar's
worth of property in the western part of
tbe ciiy, and I wish the alderman would be
a little careful about his ins.uuations.”
••1 made no remark about you, whatever,”
replied Alderman Myers. “I referred gen
erally to property in the wsstera part of
the < ity.”
“Yes, but you did so because you thought
I wav interested in that section,” retorted
Alderman Hailey. “It isn’t tbe first time,
and I hope you’ll be more careful in the
future”
The interesting* little cene was brought to
a close at this point by a call for a vote, and
the ordinance as amended was adopted.
THE ELECTRIC CLOCKS.
The amended petition of C. U. \Varrand
and ethers for permission to erect electric :
clocks on the streets, asking the council to
remove the condition of the previous grsDt,
which leaves it in tbe power of the board of
aldermen to order the removal of the clocks
at any time and substitute in lieu thereof,
“whenever they fail to furnish proper time
service,” was reported back to the council
by tbe street and lane committee for action
without any recommendation.
Alderman Harmon, chairman of the com
mittee, said that tbe reason the petition was
returned to tne council in tbe shape it had
been was because the committee found it
imixossibie to come to an agreement in the
matter.
Alderman Charlton asked the members ot
the street and lane committee present to
give their views on the subject.
Aldermen Harmon and Bailey said they
favored the petition, because they believed
it was something tor the public good.
Aldermau O'Hrieu opposed the granting
of the amended petition because he believed
tbe council should retain the right to re
move tbe clocks at pleasure. No one could
•ay whether the clocks might not be un
gainly or prove a nuisance, aud if such
should turn out to be the case the alderman
thought it would be a proper thing for the
council to order their removal.
AS ORNAMENT TO THE STREETS.
Mr. Warrand, the projector of the
scheme, said that he would guarantee that
tbe clocks would he ornamental and in no
way a nuisance.
Alderman Charlton said he considered
the clocks nothing more than an advertis
ing scheme. He inquired of the street and
lane committee if any inquiry had been
made whether the city of Berlin, where he
believed similar clocks were in operation,
received any revenue. If certain parties
were willing to put SIO,OOO into such a
scheme there must, in tbe opinion of the
aldermau, be a good deal of profit in it. and
he didn’t see why the city shouldn’t share
in it.
Alderman Bailey replied that the city
council had granted gratuitous privileges to
many concerns. f more a profitable nature to
the investors than the proposed clock Bcheme
and things which return no advautagos to
the citizens.
MIGHT GO TO BERLIN.
Alderman Cann humorously suggested
that the street and lauo oommittee be in
structed to go to Berlin, personally iuspeot
the clock system there and report back to
the council at some convenient time in the
future the results of it* Investigations.
Alderman Charlton objected, he said, to
be constantly reminded of the il sof human
ity by seeing signs of Warner's Rafe Kidney
and Liver Cure, Golden Medical Discovery,
etc., sticking in clocks at every street cor
ner.
After a little further desultory discussion
tbe amendment to the conditions asked for
was voted down. If the company now
wants to erect the clocks It will have to do
so on the original terms, which it is not
likely It will do.
J. E. Register was unanimously elected

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, MARCH 3,1892.
INCENDIARIES’ UGLY WORK.
| Attempt to Burn a House on Bolton
Street and Prevent an Alarm.
The 2-story frame tenement Nos. 237-237’-j
Bolton street was fired t.y incendiaries
shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday morning.
Mounted Policeman Floyd discovered tbe
fire a few minutes after it was started, and,
after waking t-e occupants of the burning
house, he rode to box 63 at Bolton aud
Burroughs streets to turn in an alarm. The
officer couldn’t get tbe key into the box,
and, striking a match to see the cause of the
trouble, found three broken match stems
jammed In tbe key-hole. These he pulled
out and succeeded m getting in tbe alarm.
When the firemen arrived the blaze had
reached tbe roof, but they succeeded In
putting it out after about tea minutes’ hard
work.
An investigation showed the weather
boarding to have been saturated
with kerosene, and there is
hardly a doubt but tbe incen
diaries were tbe Darties who stuffed tbe key
hole of the fire alarm box to prevent the
calling out of tbe department until the fire
would get a good start, in which case quite
a serious conflagrate.n would probably have
resulted, as tbe vicinity in which the fire
was set is composed altogether of frame
dwellings.
Tbe house was owned by William Diers
and was occupied by Robert Felder and
family. The loss is about S3OO aud is cov
ered by insurance.
Chief Fireman Puder has reported the
incendiary to Mayor McDonough, and an
investigation will be made by the pol.ee de
partment.
At 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon the fire
men were again called out by au alarm from
box 63 to a slight fire in the roof of a
lj-j-story house. No. 246 Wald burg street,
owned and ocoupied by Jefferson Bryan.
Tbe fire started from sparks from the chim
ney and burned a few shingles.
Chief Fireman Ruder had a narrow es
cape from what might have proved a seri
ous accident. WhUe driving rapidly down
Bolton street lane two little children threw
a gate wide open to see the apparatus. The
gate came into oollision witu one of the
wheels of the chief’s buggy ar.d was cut
completely iu half without any injury to
the vehicle. Had the gate not been of weak
material the probability is that Chief
Puder’s buggy would have been wrecked
aud himself aud tbe children seriously in
jured.
The firemen at headquarters were called
out by telephone at 6:80 o’clock last night to
a chimney fire lu a house at Habersham
street and Broughton lane. Tbe oall was
unnecessary as the services of the depart
ment were not needed.
DEATH CLAIMED HIS MARK.
A Stranger Dies In His Wife’s Arms
on tbe West India Mail.
A death of unusual sadness occurred day
before yesterday on the West India fast
mail.
W. I. Givens and wife of Manayunk,
Pa., were on their way to Florida.
The husband was ill with con
sumption, and was endeavoring to
reach Florida in that hope of restoration
which induced him and his devoted wife to
make the journey. Weakened with disease
he was unable to withstand tbe fatigue of
travel, and died just after the train had
passed Florence, S. C.
Dr. W. W. Owens was on the train and
attended tbe dying man. His body was
brought to Savannah and removed to the
Savannah hospital, where it was plaoed in
charge of Undertaker John H. Fox. The
dead man was about 35 years old.
The grief stricken wife remained by the
side of her dead husband uutil the body was
carried to the depot at 2 o’clook to be re
turned to the home they bad
just left. Shortly after their arrival here a
telegram was received from Industry Lodge
No. 130 of Odd Fellows of Manayunk re
questing the Odd Fellows of Savannah to
take charge of the body. The officers of
Oglethorpe lodge at onco tendered their aid
to tbe bereaved wife and every attention
was given that might console her affliction,
severe among friends, but deeper still
among strangers with, no voice of kindred
to soothe her sorrow.
THE NEW SOUTHERN LEAGUE.
Savannah Interested in the Columbia
Convention.
Dr. Kieffer has received a request from
the president of the Columbia Base Ball As
sociation to attend a meeting in Columbia
ou March 10, to organize an interstate
league and arranging a schedule. Dr.
Kieffer will be unable to attend, but will
be glad to have auy responsible person in
the city interested iu base ball who desires
to attend to and > so in his place.
It is proposed to organize a league com
posed of Savarmah, Charleston, Columbia
nn l Augusta, and perhaps Greenville aud
Wilmington. This would make a very nice
circuit with short jumps.
If Greenville and Wilmington should not
oome in a circuit composed of Augusta,
Savannah, Charleston and Columbia is
proposed. This wou.d make a very con
venient circuit with jumps of from ioo to
150 n.iles between towns.
There are a number of eager base ballists
in the city, and they are now searching for
some person of means aud good standing
with sufficient interest in tho game to head
the movement.
TO PREPARE FOR HILL.
Hibernians Awaiting His Formal Ac
ceptance of Their Invitation.
Senator Hill has decided positively to
visit Savannah on St. Patrick’s day as the
guest of the Hibernian Society. He made
the official statement to the Associated
Press in Washington, aud the formal ac
ceptance of the invitation will probably be
received iu a day or two by the Hibernian
Society.
Steps will be taken at once to accord him
a royal welcome, both by tho Hibernians
and the Hill Club. The programme no
doubt will bo an interesting one, and the
senator will have no reason to regret his
visit here. As ho will ba the highest repre

The attorneys for the unpreferred cred

trary to evidence.
2. Because the verdict is contrary to the

3. Because the verdict is decidedly and
strongly against tbe weight of tbe evidence.
4. Because the verdict is contrary to

POSSIBLE MILITARY CHANGES.
Some That the Proposed Reorganiza
tion Might Bring About.
Some of the military men now are dis
cussing whether, if there is a reorganiza
tion of the troops of the state after Lieut
Satterlee has finished his inspeotlon, the
battalion and regimental formations of the
new tactics which were recently adopted
will be carried out in the reorganization.
According to the new tactics a regiment
consists of three battalions of four compa
nies each. If the troops were reorganized
on this basis there would be many changes
in the present organizations of state troops.
The question ißto what extent this would
affect the regimental and battalion organi
zations of Savannah, tho First Georgia reg
iment and the Third Georgia battalion.
The regiment has live companies at present,
or one more than is required bv the new
tactics for a full battalion, while
tho Guards have three companies, or one
less than Is required for a full battalion.
The question is, would one company be
withdrawn from the regiment and attached
to the Guards to make two complete bat
talions, aud would both battalions thou be
thrown into one regiment* This might be
the result. If it should be, there would be
some changes iu regimental officers.
The major under the new tactics is in
command of the battalion, and the question
L, if the two organizations are combined
would not one of the two lieutenant
colonels have to be reduced to a major?
It is understood that Lieut. Col. Garrard
expeots to form a fourth company of the
Guards some time after the completion of
tho new armory, which would give the bat
talion the requisite number of companies.
However, it is said the Cadets would not
object to being deiached from the regiment
and added to the Guards battalion. This
would make two complete battalions with
out the formation of auy new companies.

ABSOUUTEI3T PURE
TO CLEAN UP THIS STREETS.
Tha Matter to Come Up in the Sani
tary Board.
\t the next meeting cf the sanitary hoard
J. R. Bauny. Esq., will introduce a reaolu
tion requesting tha chairman of the street
and lane committee to withdraw a portion
of the city force from the work of shelling
Jones and Jefferson streets and put them
at working cleaning up Whitaker and Dray
ton streets and placing them in a good con
dition generally.
Mr. Saussy said ye terday that there is
nothing sensational or unusual in his in
tended reulution. He merely wants to call
the attention of the chairman of the street
and lane committee to Drayton and Whit
aker streets, which, he eiinks, it would be
advisable to alean up before the approach
of the hot months. He said he knows that
Chairman Harmon has placed the
entire city force at work upon
the streets which have been ordered shelled
in order to oomplete the work before May,
when the ordinance against upturning of
soil In the city during the summer months
goes into effect.
Mr. Saussy thinks it wiser to place Dray
ton and Whitaker streets in a healthy con
ditisn first, and then, if necessary, the chair
man of the street and lane committee may
be allowed sufficient time after May to
complete the work of shelling the streets, as
was doDe last year.
“Very little more soil is turned up on the
unpaved streets in shelling than is turned
up by the wagon wheels in ordinary
traffic,” said Mr. Saussy.
Chairman Harmon of the street and
lane committee, who was approached
about the matter, was very much surprised
to learn that Drayton and Whitaker stre“ts
are the ones at which the resolution would
bo aimed, as he had supposed from
Intimation received the first part
of the week that some back street which
had possibly been neglected was to be
brought sharply to his attention. He de
clared at once that Drayton and Whitaker
streets are in as good condition as they
usually are, or as they well can be with the
rough cobblestone pavement, and what is
more have only been recently cleaned up.
Better still they are destined for another
cleaning shortly. To confirm his asser ins
Alderman Harmon drove out Draytou street
to New Houston and back on Whitaker to
Bay street. He pointed out places in the
streets of the recent cleaning
up and showed that there
is nothing m their condition to warrant any
special action looking to their improvement
so long as the present pavement is con
tinued.
Judging from general appearances the
streets are neither unusually clean nor un
usually dirty. They are just about as they
usually are, rough and unsightly, with their
dirty cobblestones making the same unat
tractive appearance.
Alderman Harmon acknowledged that the
streets are unsightly, but said there is no
help for that as long as the co blestono
pavement is continued. The only thing
that can be done now is to rake
off the streets occasionally and clean
out the gutters on the Bides.
There is a good deal of sand on the streets
in places, but this cannot well be helped
with so many unpaved streets leading into
them. It has bei n suggested that it would
greatly improve both Drayton and YV'hit
nkar streets if the oobblestono3 were over
laid with shell throughout. The cost would
be small, as there would be very
little grading and no ourbing
to be done and on account
of the cobblestone* beneath the shelltng
would not have to be very heavy. The
shell and cobblestones combined, it is
claimed, would make a very solid pavement
and one that would be much more satis
factory in every way. It certainly could
not be any worse oa the score of health
than the present style of pavement.
Aldermau Harmon says that as soon as
the work upon the Jones street sewer is
completed the wholo street force will be put
to work to give all the streets and lanes a
thorough cleaning before summer.
The shelling of New Houston street south
of the Park extension from Drayton to
Whitaker is being urged by a number of
Eeople, especially residents in the noigh
orhood of tha rark. It is probable that a
re olution to this effect will be introduced
at the next session of council. This would
give a drive of paved streets around the
entiro park and Park extension.

Only Routine Business Said to Have
Been Transacted.
The March meeting of the Central rail
road director* was held yesterday. The
only out of town director present was Col.
C. H. Phlnizy of Augusta. Tne meeting
was a very short one. Den. Alexander said
last night that nothing of general interest
was done.
The plans of the Olcott committee nor
anything of this aha acter came before the
meeting, Geo. Alexander said.
A story from New York is to the effect
that the details of the committee’s plan of
reorganization have about been completed.
ahe only details remaining to be arranged
are those with rezard to the syndicatss that
are to raise the $35,000,000 iu cosh needed to
retire the floating debt and bring about the
transfer of securities for the proposed new
company. One syndicate, it is said, will
be headed by Kalgarten & Cos. and Von
Hoffman &, Cos., the other by J. K. Davis,
the Central Trust Company and their asso
ciates. Until these details are arranged the
plan of reorganization cannot be published,
One of the chiefly interested parties says
that the substantial feature will be that
every railroad in the whole system will be
consolidated into one grand company, oper
ating nearly y,OOO miles of raiiroad uuder
one management. This reorganization will
involve the output of $212,500,000 of 3 per
cent, first mortgage gold bonds, <OO,-
500,000 of 4 per cent, income gold
bonds, $75,000,000 of 5 per cent. preferred
6tock and $150,000,000 of common stock.
The plan of the underwriting syndicate
of $34,000,000 in the Richmond Terminal
reorganization is that for each $4,003 in
cash they will receive #5,034 iu first mort
gages 4 per cent, bonds, $750 in income
bonds and $1,250 in common stock. The
gross earnings of the system computed on
the basis of the close of the fis
cal year of 1890 and 1891 is put
at $41,000,000, and it is estimated
that the system could be worked at a cost
not exceeding 60 per cent., leaving over
$13,500,000 net to pay fixed charges and
dividends. The total issue of first mortgage
and income bouds will be a little under
$13,000,000.
The syndicates will take the securities on
the same basis, with the exception that they
will receive 2!per cent, cash commission
for their services in uuderwriling the new
securities.
It is expected, according to report, that
the great reductions resulting from the new
organization will largely increase the r.et
results. It is not expected that the under
writers of the $34,000,000 will ue able to get
more than 50 per cent, of their subscriptions,
and probably not that much, as the re
orga .izatiju plan seems to meet with such
general approval. The new securities heiug
issued on a low basis and ail immediate
prospect of advance, the holders of the
Richmond Terminal preferred and oommon
stock will re given ti o light to subscribe
before the underw: iting syndica' e.
There is a great deal of discussion in Sa
vannah us to the manner in which the
Olcott committee's plan will be reoeived by
the holders of Central, Southwestern and
other stocks of the old Central system in
this section. The opinion is that unless
there is nrae stronger assurance than it
appears from the reports already given out
will be given, that the Georgia stockholders
will declino to give up their stock in ex
change for the consolidated stock. The
stockholders are very doubtful of
anything bearing the impress of the
Richmond Terminal, and will want some
strong assurance that the dividends upon
the new stock will be paid before exchang
ing their old stocks.
There is considerable difference of opinion
as to the wisdom of this course. Those ad
vocating it say that the Central railroad
and Richmot and and Danville are bound for
the dividends upon the stoc-s, and no
ch mges that may bo made in the present
position of the roads in the system will re
lease thorn from this obligation. The
Southwestern stockholders claim that they
have a lien upon the Central railroad, which
can be enforced in case of any default.
Oa the other hand, it is said that if this
plan were adopted by the minority stock
holders that stops would bo taken by tho
holders of the new stock to freeze them out
and place them in a position where they
would be glad to sell at a reduced price. If
the lessees were not so strongly bound in all
the various leases of the complicated system
of railroads composing the Richmond Ter
minal Company, it would bo verv easy to do
this by passing a dividend, but'with legis
latures and juries so unfavorably disposed
toward the railroad corporations and com
bines there would be great danger to the
Terminal company or its successor in takiug
such a step.
The stockholders are not inolined to give
up a sure thing unle s they have big induce
ments.
