Will Be Absorbed—Mr. Mclntire

The Price Paid Over 51,000,000.
Receipts From Road Relong to

Cars for the Entire System.
"While there has been no formal
transfer of the Savannah, Thunderbolt
and Isle of Hope Railway to the Edi
son Interests, the purchasers of the
Parsons holding's are understood to be
already In charge. The fact that the
railway is In new hands has not yet
caused any changes, and it is not prob
able that there will be any until after
Jan. X. /
The stockholders of the Edison Elec
tric Illuminating Company will meet
to-morrow to ratify the deal made
•with President George Parsons of the
railway company. The option given by
Mr. Parsons has not yet expired and
the buyers lose nothing By holding off
until almost the last minute. It was
stipulated that in case the negotiations
should result in a sale of the property
the date of the purchase would be from
the day on which the option was given.
The franchise Is a valuable one, and
Mr. Parsons is said to have received
over $1,000,000 for his stock.
The company’s receipts since the time
the option was given have been kept
separate and will belong to the new
company when it begins the active
management of the property. It is be
cause the road is practically in new
hands at this time that the work of
improvement is at a stand
s 111. Only such expenditures as are
absolutely necessary are being made.
The bills being contracted will have to
be paid by the new company, and for
this reason the officers of the road un
der the Parsons regime are moving
cautiously in spending money.
While it is not known just what
changes will be made, General Manager
Lucien H. Mclntire will not remain in
charge of the system after the new
owners take formal charge. He will
return to his home in the North. Mr.
Mclntire did not come to Savannah
because he was in need of a position.
He dWie here in the interests of Mr.
Parsons, and for the purpose of ad
ding to the market value of the prop
erty. In this he was successful, and
in less than a year after he took
charge the road was sold. After the
property has been delivered to Its new
owners Mr. Parsons will not require
a man here who Is'close to him, and
Mr. Mclntire will return North. The
general manager under the Parsons re
gime is himself a man of means and
it was not his purpose to remain here
permanently when he came.
Just who will be the operating head
of the road is not known, but one man
may look over both the railway sys
tem and the lighting department. Both
branches of the electrical company will
be operated In harmony, and it is al
together probable that some heads will
fall in the basket when the change
is made.
The conductors and motormen, or at
least some of them, are awaiting with
some interest the change of manage
ment. At present they get 11%. 13% and
15 cents an hour, but they are fear
ful that the minimum figure of 11%
cents will also be the maximum. The
new owners have not even intimated
that they Intend making any reduction
in salaries, and the motormen a.nd
conductors may be needlessly alarmed.
It appears that the policy of the new
owners will be to improve the system
In every possible way. The line from
Sandfly station to Montgomery will be
equipped with electricity immediately,
ar.d the slow and unsightly mule car
will be a thing of the past. The new
management not only considers the im
provement necessary, but figures that
it will be more economical to operate
the line with electricity. The equipping
of the line with electricity will mean
much for Montgomery, which is one of
the prettiest resorts around Savannah.
It is also the intention of the man
agement to re-equip the system where
ever it is found to be necessary. As
soon as they can be secured from the
factories new vestibuled cars will be
put in service. The old management
purchased a half dozen of these cars
several months ago, but have never
been able to get them delivered. All of
the car manufactories have their hands
full, and no contracts can be made for
Immediate delivery. It Is understood
that the new owners figure, as do most
street railway people, that the better
the cars the more travel, and larger re
ctipts. The theory that people will ride
In any sort of car is considered a mis
take, and the patronage is much better
where comfortable and well construct
ed cars are in service. It is upon this
plan that the new management will
work.
President George J. Baldwin of the
Edison Electric Illuminating Company,
will arrive from Houston. Tex., to-day
to be present at the meeting of the
stockholders of the company. Mr. Bald
win has made a careful inspection of
the street railway property recently ac
quired In Houston, and returns In time
to give directions about the manage
ment of the system In this city.
TAXES BEINgTpAID SLOWLY.
Tax Collector l rxinq Delinquent*
to Get In the Game In Time.
The taxpayers of the county are not
paying their taxes with the alacrity
that Tax Collector Thomson had been
led to expect. For some reason they
have been exceedingly slow In paying
their taxes, and the tax receipts, have
been very short on this account.
The state and county taxes for this
year are larger than they have been
for a number of years past, and It Is
for this reason possibly that the pay
ment of taxes has been slow. There
are only two weeks longer allowed by
law for the payment of taxes, and
those who do not pay up within this
time will probably be assessed double
taxes for their delinquency. The tax
collector has been making every ef
fort to hasten the collection of taxes,
and if they are not paid in time It
will not be hls fault.

THE CHRISTMAS POPPER
| Not Yet Out But the Demand Ex
pected to Be a* Large u* Ever.
Although Christmas is but a short
way off the festive firecracker has not
yet made its appearance on the streets,
neither in the hand of the small boy
nor on the stand of the fruit dealer,
who usually handles it as a side line,
and does a rushing business during
the brief season that it is permitted
to fire the noisy little poppers.
Though the dealers have not yet be
gun to display their stock, it does not
mean that there will not be a plenty
of fireworks sold, for the wholesalers
have laid in the usual stock for the
holidays and say that the demand on
them is quite as brisk as It usually
is about this time of the year.
There will be few if any novelties In
fire works, they say. The manufac
turers usually manage to get up one
or two each season, but they never
prove popular; the demand is always
for the standard goods; smajl fire
crackers, cannon crackers, roman can
dles, the bigger the better; and sky
rockets. With a stock of these the
average dealer feels that he can meet
all demands that are likely to be made
on him, and usually he is right in his
opinion.
The city ordinance governing the
use of fireworks Is the same this year
as it waslast; they may be used from
Dec. 24 to Jan. 1. Inclusive, but only
on certain streets. These streets are
Liberty, and all sections south of it,
with the exception of Bull street to
the north of the Park Extension. No
file works of any kind wtill be allowed
fired in, into, or from the Park. Bon
fires will be allowed in the Park Ex
tension during the extension of the
firecracker season.
ASHBY~CASE NOTASSIGNED.
Jfo Date Set for Trial of the Wife
Murderer.
No assignment for trial has yet been
made of the case of Lewis Mord Ash
by, the white man who brutally and
cruelly killed his wife several months
since. Ashby is now In jail, where
he has been endeavoring to simulate
insanity almost from the very day of
his arrest and incarceration.
Ashby Is represented by Messrs.
Twiggs & Oliver and the til health of
Judge Twiggs, the senior member of
the firm, has contributed Us share to
wards the postponement of the trial.
It is expected that the case will be as
signed for a hearing some time during
the present month.
Several criminal cases have been as
signed for trial In the Superior Court
to-morrow, but none of them Is of the
first importance. It is* the purpose of
Judge Seabrook and Solicitor General
Osborne to devo’e the month of De
cember to the trial of criminal cases,,
and a number of others will probably
be aslsgned to-morrow for other days
during the week.
THEY WILL PULL THROUGH.
lirnnMficlc Riflemen in Better
Shape Than They Have Been.
It is believed here that the Brunswick
Riflemen, one of the companies ot the
First Regiment of Infantry, will be
able to stand the Inspection that has
been ordered and pull through all right.
In the recent past grave fears have
been entertained as to the stability of
the command.
Lieut. Col. G. Arthur Gordon, tem
porarily In command of the regiment,
has ordered an election for captain of
the company, to take place on the night
of Monday, Dec. 16. It is rumored here
that Rev. Clement G. Bradley, who
was the commanding officer of the At
lanta Artillery during the Spanish-
American war, will be elected captain
of the riflemen. Mr. Bradley is now rec
tor of the Episcopal church at Bruns
wick. He la a thorough and well
equipped military man and would make
"an excellent commanding officer.
RECEIVER Tn CHARGE.
Cotton Consitinetl to Woods A Ma

Mr. George S. Haines assumed
charge yesterday of the assets of the
bankrupt firm of Woods & Malone.
Mr. Haines, as announced In the
Morning News yesterday, had been
appointed receiver by Judge Speer and
qualified before the clerk of the court.
There was a large amount of assets
for the receiver to protect and in
addition large amounts of cotton that
had been shipped to the firm on con
signment. This latter, under the In
structions of Judge Speer, was deliv
ered to those by whom it had been
shipped. It Is still believed that the
assets will be $50,000 behind the liabili
ties.

The Savannah Box and Basket Fac
tory was completely destroyed by fire
last night. The fire broke out in the
engine room of tlie factory and before
the fire department could reach the
scene of the conflagration had destroy
ed practically everything in sight.
The factory was located on the Louis
ville road, about a mile from the city
limits. Though situated beyond the
limits of fire protection, the depart
ment responded to a telephone alarm,
and though nothing could be done to
quench the flames within the limits
of the factory proper, much lumber
that was stacked about the buildings
and about 200 barrels of syrup were
MLVSd. ,
The fire broke out about 8 o’clock.
The watchman at the factory, looking
towards the engine room, discovered
that the room was ablaze and rushing
to the spot where the fire raging
endeavored during the first few min
utes to extinguish the blaze with buck
ets of water. This effort was entirely
ineffectual and consumed besides much
valuable time. The watchman wasted
other time in an effort to communicate
by telephone with the owners of the
property and on this account the fire
had been suffered to get under good
headway before an alarm was trans
mitted to the headquarters of the de
partment.
Chief Maguire chanced to be at fire
headquarters and he ordered out at
once two companies of the department.
A fast run was made to the blazing
mills, but by the time the apparatus
reached the scene every building was
ablaze and to save any one of them
was a matter of total impossibility.
They were light frame structures, all
of them and they burned like tinder.
There was never a chance of prevent
ing total destruction after the flames
crept between the walls of the build
ings and began to spread. From this
time on the destruction of everything
in the immediate vicinity was a fore
gone conclusion.
The firemen turned their attention to
the lumber that was piled up about
the buildings, to the cars loaded with
syrup that were near at hand and to
other buildings in the rear vicinity.
These the firemen managed to save,
but it was stiff, hard work to rescue
even this part of the property in sight
from the devouring onslaught of the
flames.
The machinery at the factory, valued
at some hing like $5,000 or $6,000, and
the buildings In which the work of
manufacture was carried on were en
tirely consumed. It Is estimated that
the total loss approximates SB,OOO or
SIO,OOO. Besides the buildings and ma
chinery, a large amount of lumber was
consumed by the flames.

Important to Merchants of the Bay
and Broughton Street.
Do you appreciate the dangers of
commercial life, where a turn of the
market or poor collections frequently
sweep away the accumulation of years
and leaves you resourceless and in deep
debt?
When this time comes, as it may to
any man, it is not the big debts that
make you almost desperate; but the
thousand stinging gnats of small ac
counts. Those to whom you owe hun
dreds realize they must wait; but each
of the hundred fellows to whom you
may owe a $5 bill thinks his is such
a small amount that you would pay
him if you were not an infernal ras
cal, and may the Lord protect you
when this swarm gathers around your
head.
Men care little for themselves, when
business misfortune overtakes them;
but are crazed by the fear their fam
ilies may suffer for want of actual ne
cessities; therefore If you can, without
defrauding your creditors, turn over to
your wife the house you live in and
give her enough improved real estate
to bring her an income of a hundred
dollars a month. Then when the hour
of trouble comes, you will know that,
however your own affairs may shape
themscelves, those you love will not
face actual poverty and Its attendant
humiliation.
The question Is: Have you the right
to do this? If you have obligations
this money is needed to settle. No!
But if you are ahead of the world, you
have no right to refuse to deliver to
your wife a just share of your mutual
profits, and they are mutual. Though
thus far you may have kept all in your
own hands, the chances are that In her
sphere she has done quite as much as
you toward bringing prosperity and
her part should not be imperilled by
every risk you choose to take. Life
insurance is a splendid thing, and every
man should carry some, but who ex
oept your wife will pay your premiums
when you haven't a cent? Don’t take
the money and put It In stocks and
bonds for her; they are too easy to
get out of the box when you are slight
ly pressed and need collateral. Put
It In real estate and let the agent who
collects report to her.
Fixed this way, you will have confi
dence and energy to resume your bus
iness and redeem yourself; without it,
embarrassed and ashamed by need of
trifling amounts to meet actual living
expenses, you may be pressed down
ward to permanent and final ruin.
Don't lay this aside with the idea
that it might do for somebody else, but
that you will always be all right. Oon't
you know that plenty of men with as
much money and capacity as you pos
sess have met with reverses? For ten
thousand dollars, part cash, balance
yearly, I can sell you real estate that
will bring in SIOO every month that
rolls around. A postal card will bring
you a list of it. John L. Archer, 10

DOOLEY JUSTIFIED
CORONER’S JURY EXONERATED
HIM FOR KILLING OLESEN.
SAILOR HAD HIS CLUB.
AND PATROLMAN FIRED TO SAVE
HIS LIFE.
———^—
Dooley's Statement at the Inquest
In Accordance With the Story of
the Shooting Given in the Morn
ing News—Olesen Died Without
Having Made Any Statement ot
the Affair—Dooley Released Front
Custody and Returned to His
Precinct.
Patrolman R. F. Dooley was justi
fied by the coroner’s jury yesterday
for the killing of Fred Olsen, the Nor
wegian seaman from the steamship
Iberia. The officer made a statement
cf the homicide in accordance with
the facts printed in the Morning News,
and the jury returned a verdict of
justifiable homicide, without any hes
itancy.
There were no eye witnesses to the
shooting who could remember the cir
cumstances of the assault upon Doo
ley, and the wounded sailor himself
was unable to make a statement. The
officer’s statement that he had been as
saulted by Olsen and Michaelson be
fore he fired the fatal shot, was borne
out by his appearance when he re
ported the trouble at headquarters.
Dooley had .t.WQ_ brifises on his head
and his uniform was dirty where he
had been scuffing on the ground with
his assailants.
Dooley deeply regrets having been
compelled to shoot the man. but did
so in order to save his life.
In his statement before the coroner’s
jury Dooley said:
“#n Thursday morning, about 1:10
o’clock, I came down Bay street to
Houston street, and heard loud nurs
ing coming out of Bay street lane and
Houston street. I stopped about a sec
ond or two and saw two men coming
out. They still were cursing. I went
to them and ordered them to stop. One
of them stopped. Olesen still kept on
cursing. I placed him under arrest.
As we Were going about ten feet he
said something in Norwegian to his
partner. His partner grabbed me
from behind. Olesen wrenched away
from me and took my club. I grabbed
the club and Olesen and I fell. His
partner kicked me while I was on the
ground. Before I got on my feet he
had the club away from me and
knocked me down. I got up and again
grabbed for. the club. We tusseled
for the club for five minutes. He
knocked be down again with the club.
I then rolled over and saw no other
chance but to shoot him. I then
fired, while I was on the ground and
while he was advancing on me. 1
followed his partner to St. Julian,
street, but he got away in the dark.
I went to the box at Bast Broad street
and reported it to the sergeant on
duty and we all went to the barracks”
Doooley was back on duty on the
Bay last night.

Asa genuine smile producer, a good,
healthy annual dividend will beat the
boots off an accumulated surplus fund.
How much good does It do you to read
in the annual reports of your company
of its enormous surplus, if you don't
get any of it? Is it not much more to
your interest to get your share of the
earnings every year, than to depend
on promises, or estimates to mature 20
years hence? If you listen to the allur
ing talk of the hyptjotic tontine esti
mator, you can walk out in the middle
of the street and away off in the dis
tance, you will see, in imagination,
your brown stone Fifth avenue, New
York, mansion coming to meet you.
Better be sure than sorry, and get
what’s coming to you as you go along.
Annual dividends—good ones—is one of
the strong features of the policies of
the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insur
ance Company, cash and paid-up par
ticipating values written for every
year, beginning with the third. Ex
tended insurance also. In fact, every
feature which combined make an ideal
life Insurance policy, added to which
is the protection of the laws of Mas
sachusetts which provide for every
contingency. The plainest, fairest, best
policy—the one you can depend on and
that will not fail you w-.en an emer
gency arises. Write Harty & Apple,

When it comes to detecting the mo

like the Chinaman who saw a trolley
car for the first time and said: ‘‘No
pushee, no pullee, go alee samee.”
That large meat business in the city
market which is owned by H. Logan is
kept going by two forces, first, you
need the supplies, and he needs the
money. But he is not out for money
alone, as it is a pleasure for him to
make his customers happy. This sea
son efforts have been madq to keep
as complete a stock as possible, and
it’s seldom that customers call there
and fail to get what they want. He
