Savannah Mrs. Hagood No. 1 Knows
Nothing of the New Claimant.
The first Savannah Mrs. liagood, the law
ful wife of the multi-married major, says
she knows absolutely nothiug of the newly
discovered Mrs. Hagood, formerly of Jack
sonville, Fla., who appeared up in the Sa
vannah field as the sixth claimant upon the
gallant major’s affections a day or two ago.
“The article in the Morning Nhws was
the first knowledge 1 had of the fifth or
sixth Mrs. Hagood, whichever she is,” said
she, “and l don’t think she married the same
man. From her statement l think it was
another Hagood entirely that she married.
“I would not be surprised to bear of
others at any time, though, and it’s a wonder
to me that more have not appeared as claim
ants upon this man who is liable to marry
any pretty woman he takes a fanoy to that
wili have him. I can just say this, how
ever, it will be a hard thing for any of
them to catch that man now.
“I am perfectly satisfied with ray arrange
msuc of the case and it will not trouble
me now, no matter how many Mrs. Ua
goods appear. I don’t think ti.at many of
them will got any money or anything else
out of him, and I know they will have a
hard time getting hold of him, no matter
how hard they try.”
GETTING OVER THE FRLhZE.
Truck Crops Pretty Well Recovered
From the Recent Cold Snsp.
The truck crops are recovering rapidly
from the effects of the recent oold spell, and
with continued favorable weather the sea
son promises to be a profitable one to
truckers.
The new patent truck basket to take tho
place of the crate has been widely intro
duced in this section. Mr. M. L. Exley, in
speaking of its use yesterday, said:
“In buying the basket keen up tbe stand
ard bushel size instead of the half barrel
size used t>y the Norfolk truckers. A prom
inent Baltimore commission man told me
a few days ago that it would be the biggest
mistake the Savannah truckers ever made
to adopt tbe half barrel size of basket, as
they hold about as much and half as much
again as the bushel basket, and will not
bring any more, or not enough more to
make ud for the difference iu quantity, in
the northern market than the bushel
basket.”
ANOTHER SM-iLL FIRE.
A Blaze Started From a Gasoline Can
in a Dye House.
An alarm of fire from box 14 brought out
the fire department yesterday morning
about 8 o’clock.
The fire was located in tbe Forest City
dye workß, operated by G. H. Phillips at
Aberoorn and Broughton street lane, and
was caused by the explosion of a can of
gasoline, which was accidently set fire by
the careless striking of a matob. The can
was all atlame, and the building was in
danger of being caught whou someone
threw a coat over the can and threw it out
in the street. This probably prevented
a disastrous fire, as there was very little
trouble in extinguishing the balance of the
fire.
The department found by tbe time it ar
rived that its services were not ueeded and
turned back atter seeing the fire entirely
out. Tbe building belongs to 8. Gucken
helmer and sustained no damage worth
mentioning.
Bell Out on Bond.
Ex-Waiter Alonzo Bell, who was arrested
a few days ago for robbing the De Soto,
gave bond yesterday and was released.
The extensive robbery of which ha is sus
pected, reference to whioh has been made
in tho Morning News, has not yet been
brought home to Bell, but clrcumstai.oes
point very strong toward him, und De
tective AVetherborn, who has charge of the
oase, expects to fasten the crime upon him
before many days.
Reliable under all circumstances is Dr. Bull’s

t-HE BBFU-KB TO GO HOME.
Two fitories in the Case of Mary Ann
Kelly.
The case of Alary Ann Kelly, the 16-year
old girl for whoso possession R. N. Stunt,
her guardian, has had a writ of habeas cor
pus issued against Mrs. Dun woody, matron
of the Telfair hospital, will no doubt prove
very interesting in the city court to-mor
row afternoon.
The fa'-ts of the cate are said to be quite
sensational. When tbe girl's father died he
left Mr. Stunt tho guardian of bis child,
and also left about $1,503 worth of prop
erty for her. She ran away from the Stunt
household several weeks ago, because, she
claims, she was ill-treated by the family,
and went to live at a negro shanty in the
woods. The old negro woman found that
the girl was suffering from fever and
brought her into the city to Judge Ferrill.
He turned her over to the
Louisa Porter borne, and the ladies of that
institution had her taken to the Telfair hos
pital for treatment.
She is not restrained in the least of her
liberty, but says she wants the ladies of the
Porter home to be her guardians instead of
Mr. Stunt, and has signed a written state
ment to that effect.
The girl says she was treated like a slave
in the Stunt household ami was given no
advantages of education, ami that she would
rather die than go back. When she leaves
the Telfair hospital she wants to go under
the protection of tho ladies of the Louisa
Porter home. Matron Dunwoodv is not re
straining her of her liberty, os Mr. Stunt’s
complaint alleges.
Mr. Stunt denies the truth of the girl’s
statement about having been ill-treated at
his home. He says she was recoguized as
one of his family, but seams to have a
penchant for running away, and his sole
desire in endeavoring to secure possession of
her is to send her to a Catholic educational
institution.
Judge Ferrill basset the hearing of the
guardianship question for next Saturday,
and as Mary Ann is of legal age to select
her own guardian it is likely that if she
persists in her desire to place her-elf undor
the protection of tho ladies of the Porter
home her wishes will be respected. The
guardianship matter has no'hing whatever
to do with the habeas corpus proceedings in
the city court. Judge D. A. O’Byrne will
represent Mr. Stunt and Charlton, Mackall
& Anderson will resist tho habeas corpus
in behalf of the girl and the home. The
Telfair hospital will only figure in the trial
in the production of the girl iu court as
ordered by Judge MaoDonell.
ANOTHER YEAR FOR EACH.
Israel and Holmes Given Severe Sen
tences for Escaping From tho Gang.
Albert Holmes, the negro convict who
nearly killed Guard Lang ot Dundee camp
day before yesterduy while escaping with
Albert Israel and Thomas Young, an ac
count of whioh appeared in the Morning
News, was caught yesterday morning by
Mounted Policeman Murphy iu an outhouse
in Frogtown. The negro had divested him
self of his striped suit and got rid of one of
the shackles. The other was on his left leg,
hidden by his trousers. Holmes made no
resistance, but surrendered quietly. Guard
Lang’s gun was found under the house aud
taken to tha barracks.
Israel aud Holmes were taken before
Judge MacDonell at 10 o’clock and given
an additional sentence of one year each.
This makes Israel’s full term 3’;, years and
Holmes’ two year* Hereafter a ball will
be attached to their shackles, and they will
never again be given an opportunity to es
oapo.
Holmes told the officers that Young came
into the city with him and went to Yama
oravv. Up to last night, however, bis
whereabouts had not been located. Holmes
declined to tell who filed off his shackle, or
what he had done with his convict’s suit.
Guard Lang was brought into the city
yesterday and taken to his brother’s homo.
He is badly used up but will recover.
When Holmes gnislies his two years’ term
on the gang he will have to answer in the
sutierior court for assault with intent to
murder for bis attack ou Guard Lang.
TOGK TJO MUCH POISON.
Mrs. Whelan Dies From tho Effects of

work, aud despite bis efforts Mrs. Whelan
died about 13 o'clock.
She was a native of Ireland and about 65
years of age. She had been a resident of
Savaunah for thirty years. Mrs. Whelan
was a kindly old lady, with hosts of friends,
and the news of the unfortunate accident

A NEW SYSTEM NEEDED.
MR. SHOLES ON THE NUMBERING
OF SAVANNAH’S HOUSES.
The Letter and Numeral System
Worse Than Useless—As a Matter of
Economy the Numbering Should Be
Done at Once—3omo of the Defects
of the Present System Pointed Out.
As every one who has much traveling
about the city to do is doubtless aware, the
houses in some localities are so badly num
bered that it is difficult for a stranger to
find bis way, even with tbe directions ob
tained from the city directory. It is not
the directory that is at fault, but the exten
sion of tbe numbering system with the
growth of the city is very badly out.
The renumbering of tbe city was under
taken in 1885, and for some portions of the
city, where Bay street aud East Broad are
used as basal Hues, tbe system answers
fairly well. But outside of these lines, as
the city has grown tbe streets have grown,
and tbe numbering with letters and numer
als was Introduced. For Instance,
on Broughton street east of East Broad,
such a number as A2 may be found, which
conveys an exceedingly indefinite idea of
the locality of that place to the stranger
hunting it.
MB. SHOLE3 TALKS.
In speaking of this matter yesterday Mr.
A. E. hholes, manager of the city directory,
made some very pertinent remarks.
“I am glad to see,” said he, “that the
matter of numbering the streets of Savan
nah has been taken up, aud it ought to be
k pt up until something is done. There is
no city in America, that I know of, and I
era familiar with a great many, either
directly or indireotly, that is so poorly
and ludicrously numbered as is
Savannah. The system is absolutely
a guide to nothing. Numbers are sup
posed to be a guide for strangers. The
Biranger can tell where 216 South Broad is,
for instance, when be finds the street, but
as to where P 2 Broughton is h 8 has no idea,
unless be has been there before and seen it.
LETTERS A POOR SYSTEM.
"It is oustomary in some cities for di
rectories to state between what streets a
number lies, and throughout the city the
numbers ruu the same on all parallel
streets. But the diiectory here is powerless
to do that in the oasa of letters aud numer
als, as on one side of a street going
down the blocks may be numbered
Al, A2, then B 1 and 82,
while coming back the numbers opposite
may be PI and P 2.
FRACTIONS A NUISANCE.
“The growth of the city has so contracted
and compressed the system of numbering iu
the thickly settled localities that there is no
way of extending it except by fractions.
For instance on Broughton street there is au
entire block with but one number. The
other buildings iti the tdock ure numbered
by halves, quarters and eighths.
“On Habersham street where l)r. Stone
has just completed a number of handsome
houses, he correctly numbers the first
one 50, and tho numbers run on
up to 62. Then there is a block entirely
vacant, and on the next corner is tho old
number, 62. That intervening block has no
way whatever of being numbered hut by
fractions. Jones and Charlton streets are
in the same cramped condition, and are split
up until we have such numbers as 15%, 15%
and so on.
NO NUMBERS IN THE LANES.
“In the lanes there are a great many
houses built for the poorer population which
have no numbers at all, except some few put
up in chalk either by my men or those
at the postoffice. It is often more important
to business men to know the whereabouts of
such people than of any other class, but so
far as finding these houses by numbers is
concerned, it is practically an impossibility.
“In Indian lane we found all sorts of im
aginary numbers, which were probably put
up by tbe residents haphazard for their own
convenience. Onposite 413 I found number
91, and so it goes tbrougbout the lanes. The
numbers in the lanes, what few of them
there are, are so badly broken up that they
ure almost worthless.
“Perhaps there are ordinances compelling
residents to correctly number their houses,
but they ha ve fallen into a state of innocuous
desuetude, and with the present system
they would be of little value if enforced.
ORIGIN OF THE LETTER SYSTEM.
“The letter system was agitated some
years ago, and I have brought it up again
at every opportunity. The origin of it was
probably with the city council committee
on streets and lanes, thinking that it could
meet the demand by the use of letters and
numerals beyond the old basal lines, which
they attempted to do, instead of calling the
streets East aud West Broughton, for ex
ample.
“The city was numbered from tbe old
lines laid out at its foundation by Ogle
thorpe. The difficulty might have been
mat by the prefix east and west to those
streets beyond tbe basal lines, but that
probably never occurrod to those who had
tbe matter in charge. The city is now
growing in every direction, and there
is a necessity for making changes to meet
this expansion.
SHOULD BE DONF. AT ONCE.
“Some fixed system of numbering should
be adopted without delay, as procrastina
tion will involve additional expense wbeu it
is realized that the work has got to be done.
The city could take up the work now and
do It for far less than it can in one or two
years. It will have to be dene some day,
and for the sake of economy there should
be no delay iu the work.
“Bay street is a perfect base line for north
and south numbering, and Bull street might
bo used for au east and west base line,calling
tbe streets East and West Broughton, East
and West President, East and West Lib
erty, etc. By taking some system like that a
system of numbering could be formulated,
which could bo extended indefinitely and
would last as long as time.’’
There Is little doubt os to the necessity for
an early consideration of this matter, and
it seems from what Mr. Sholes says tbe
quicker it is done the better.
Mr. Wholes also advocates a ohauge in the
name of South Broad street, lying in the
center of the city as it does. It is a puz/.ie
to strangers why it should be called South
Broad street, as the term can no longer be
appropriately apolied to it. He says also
the incongruity of an blast and West South
Broad street would be met if Bull street
should be chosen as the ba6al line iu renum
bering, as such would probably be tbo case.

bad ever seen it done.
After tbe meeting a banquet was spread

WHOSE JURISDICTION?
A Portion of Waters Road Apparently
Unclaimed by Clt7 or County.
Tbere seems to be a misunderstanding
about jurisdiction over limits between the
city council and the county commissioners
in connection with Waters road.
The Savannah and Isle of Hope railway
was granted, some time ago, permission by
tbe city to use Waters road within tbe ex
tended limits for its tracks, provided the
railroad oompatiy would widen tbe high
way ten feet. This the projectors agreed
to do and built the road. They secured the
necessary amount of iand with the exception
of one lot belonging to Walter Meyler and
and made the improvement.
After finishing the work Capt. Purse,
president of the Savannah and isle
of Hope company, presented tho deeds
to the county, accompanied by
a letter stating that tbe railroad bad
completed its contract. County Attorney
Saussy said the deeds should properly go to
the city council as the county bod nothiug
to do with the matter under the permission
granted by that body to the railroad.
Tbe deeds wore returned to Capt. Purse
and he sent them to the mayor and alder
men with au additional communication ask
ing that the necessary amouut of Meyler’s
lands to make Waters road a uniform
width bo condemned. This communication
was referred by the council to tha county
commissioners, and at their meeting last
W ednesday it camo up for consideration.
By advice of Mr. Saussy, who told the com
missioners that they could not lawfully con
demn land for the purpose of carrying out a
private contract the communication went
back to the city oouncil.
The aldermen wifi bo given an oppor
tunity to again wrestle with the question
Wednesday night. The city evidently con
siders the condemnation proceedings in the
province of the commissioners, and the
commissioners think the matter is entirely
the business of the aldermen. Thus the
matter stands, leaving that portion of
W aters road for the present outside both
the limits of tbe city and the oounty.

Directors Logan, Nugent and Hick, Supt.
McFarland, Electrician Womack, Chief of
Transfer Hadden, Contractor Long, Deputy
Market Clerk Bennett and J. J. Doolan. A
crowd of whites aud blacks gathered in the
rear of of the car uninvited to experience
the novelty of the first trip over the con
necting link of tho inside belt.
THE TRIP A SUCCESS.
The car is fitted up with the first new
rapid Westinghouse motor introduced in
Savannah, and under the guiding hand of
Supt. McFarland it made the trip several
times over tho bridge without a hitch. As
it came out of the market on
the oast side of Barnard street the
party on board gave three oheers
and a tiger for the Electric road, which
were echoed by hundreds of people on each
side of the market, who had gathered to
see the initial ti ip. On the grades Supt.
McFarland put on brakes and moved ibe
car slowly, but on the level part of the
bridge he let go at full speed. It
did not cause the slightest motion
in the building, which was the objection
urged wheu the question of the operation
of a railroad throagu the market was first
discussed.
HOW THE BRIDGE 18 BCILT.
The bridge is a solid structure, and when
all tho work upon it is funished it will be
equally as handsome. It is built on iron arm
pillars deeply imbedded iu the ground
and braced with a concrete foundation.
An iron railing runs each way from the
center crossing aud there is a gate at both
ends which will be kept closed when the
cars are not running. Gates are provided at
the two email crossings on the east and west
sido3 which will he iu charge of watchman.
At tho center crossing, where the cars
will stop to take on and let off passengers
there will ba two watchmen to guard people
against danger. A flight of iron steps run
down from the northeast corner of this
crossing to tho basement. Another safe
guard for the people lies in the mam
moth gongs at each entrance, which
begin ringing furiously as soon as the cor
enters the market and continue until it
passes out. The bfidge is to be painted a
pure white.
THE SPIKE SOLID SILVER.
The silver spike which was driven into
the bridge to mark the top notch of the
railway’s enterprise arrived in the
oity yesterday {morning by express
from New York. It Is s> a ' inches long and
solid with a brightly polished head which
will be eugraved iu a few days with the
date of the opening of the bridge. It was
driven tight enough to prevent its being
extracted except by removing tho stringer.
To-day oars will run regularly over the
bridge and hereafter the annoyance of
tramping through the market basement or
around tho building to make a transfer,
will be avoided.

HE GOT HIS DESERTS.
A Man Who Played the Deaf Mute
Role Goes Up for a Year.
J. L. Husketh, an impostor who has been
playing the deaf and dumb racket here for
several days and securing In consequence
considerable small ohange from sympa
thetic people, oarae to grief yesterday with
a suddenness which will make him remem
ber Savannah justice as long as he lives.
Husketh has been begging on the streets
and in tho stores by moans of a printed
card, which stated that the bearer was a
deaf mute. Yesterday, however, when he
approached a gentleman who declined to
read tho card, Husketh forgot himself and
said: "Please give me something; I’m deaf
and dumb.”
Meeting Deputy Sheriff Collman a few
minutes later the gentleman related what
had happened, and that officer followed
Husketh at once aud plaoed him under ar
rest. He carried his prisoner before Justice
Waring Russell, Jr., who turned him over
to the city court on a charge of vagranoy.
Half au hour later Husketh was before
Judge MacDouell, who, after hearing the
facts of the case, sentenced the voluntary
deaf mute to twelve months at hard labor
on the chain-gang.
Judge MacDonell yesterday sentenced
John Middleton to six months on the gang
for stealing a bunch of bananas from the
store of J. S. Collins & Cos., and Robert
Binyard to three months for assault and
battery.
A case full of legal technicalities was
heard by Judge Falligant yesterday aud in
which he reserved his deoision. It was that
of Emma J. C. Wood et al. for the dis
tribution of a fund of $3,000 in Sheriff
Honan's possession, derived from tho sale of
property belonging to W. W. Hunting. J.
R. Saussy, Esq., urguod for the plaintiffs and
T. P. Ravenal, Esq., resisted, claiming the
money to rightfully belong to George
Frierson and others under judgments
granted out of the superior court. There
are numerous judgments against the fund In
all parts of Georgia aud South Carolina
aud It? settleuieut involves considerable
disentanglement.
Judge Falllgant yesterday passed an order
directing Sheriff Honan, temporary receiver
fur Isidore Fried, to have the forty-two boxes
of goods which ha levied on at the Central
railroad inventoried by an impartial party,
after which they can bo shipped to Mr.
Krutter at Columbus If bond in double tho
value of the goods Is furnished. Baird &
Levi of New York have filed an interven
tion against Mr. Fried in the suit for a re
ceiver. His indebtedness to this firm is
$463 71.
John Stems, through the superior court,
yesterday changed his name to Diedrich
Biems.

A CITY MARKET.
Views Expressed by a Retired Butcher
on Order and System.
"I was strolling through the city to see
the sights,” said a portly and rather good
looking gentleman while at the City market
yesterday.
"Naturally enough,” he continued, "I
came to see the market, as I have spent
many long hours, days, weeks, months and
years in the butcher 1 unness in the north.
My success was wonderful, so some people
said, but, to tell you the truth, there was
nothing wonderful about It. I only did as
other people in the same business should do
to insure success, I had a system and I
carried it out.”
“What system?” inquired a meat cutter
who stood by and overheard the remarks.
"To make myself practically plain.”
answered the retired butch r, "I win
direct you to that corner stall, where
my ideas of good order and perfect system
is carried out to a letter. I have informed
myself of their methods by personal ob
servation. You see that fine corps of
carvers? Every one a gentleman and an
artist. They know their business. They
draw trade. Bee the number of ladies who
crowd around that elegant display of every
kind of the choicest meets and game from
all parts of the country. There is some
thing tempting. Look at the splendid beef
and the mutton and everything else whioh
creates an appetite. Then, do you see the
gentlemen who come two or three times a
week and leave orders? They do not stop to
make selections. It is done for them and
they are always pleased.
“I tell you, gentlemen, it is a pleasure to
gentlemen and ladies to ’go to market’ when
they can select just what they want and
know that it is pure, fresh, tender and un
tainted by frequent handling.
"It is all the same to those who cannot go
to the market, for they either telephone
their orders or give them to one of the com
petent butohers who make daily rounds
among the trade and take their orders,
which are filled promptly aud properly.”
The market should be the pride of a city,
and in advancing this fact, much credit is
due to the enterprising proprietor of these
stalls, for H. Logan is an enterprising man
and the most popular butcher in the city of
Savannah.—ad.
