RAN INTO BRIDGE
STEAMER CLIFTON PUT ST. AUGCS
TI.\E CREEK DBAW BRIDGE
OUT OE BISIXESS.
TROUBLE FOR TYBEE TRAFFIC.
HESILTED FROM THE STEAMER'S
COLLISION WITH THE BRIDGE.

Her Crashing Into the Trestle
Guard—Ripped Out One of Her
Paddle* and Created Excitement
Aboard—Trestle XVa* Thrown Out
of Pluiuh About Eighteen Inches.
System of Transferring Passengers
at the Bridge Was Employed.
Crowd That Intended Going to the
Ball Disappointed.
The steamer Clifton ran into St. Au
gustine creek draw bridge late yester
day afternoon and knocked the trestle
out of plumb about eighteen inches.
Tybee trains could not pass, and traf
fice over the railway was considerably
demoralized.
Little damage was sustained by the
Clifton. So far as was known her dam
ages were confined to a broken blade
in her paddle wheel.
The Clifton had been to Wilmington
Island with an excursion. The ladies
and children among the passengers
were greatly alarmed by the accident,
thinking it might prove serious, but
Capt. Beach and others soon relieved
their fears, and quiet was restored.
A strong tide was running when the
Clifton attempted to go through the
draw, and the current caught her nose
and threw her against the guard that
arranged for the protection of the tres
tle. The projection protecting the
steamer's starboard paddle wheel
mounted this guard, causing her to
careen.
The strain upon the trestle was more
than it could withstand, and it gave
on the east side. The steamer's engines
were reversed, and she made anew
start, this time making the passage
successfully and continuing her voyage
to the city.
Tybee Trains Cut Off.
The train leaving Tybee at 6:05
o'clot k was the last bound for the city
that got by the trestle. The train
leaving Savannah at 7 o'clock was the
last for the island to get by. When
the train leaving Tybee at 6:45 o’clock
reached the bridge it could go no fur
ther. The draw would not close flush
with the rails on the trestle.
Passengers and trainmen were in a
quandary. The latter knew that the
failure of the train to arrive would be
a notice in itself to Supt. Clement
Saussy that something was wrong,
and that he would, as he
did, come to ascertain the
trouble. Some of the pass
engers, though, were anxious to reach
the city, so they crossed the trestle
and started to walk.
Supt. Saussy started on an engine to
ascertain the trouble. He met about
twenty of the foot passengers half way
between the city and the creek, and,
on stopping the engine, was told of the
trouble. He took them aboard engine
and tender and brought them to the
city, but some he did not mieet, made
the trip afoot. He then made up a
train and went to the relief of the
passengers lett at the creek. These
bad all walked across the trestle and
were waiting for the relief train,
which soon landed them at the depot.
Held lit Tybee.
The train that first met the difficulty
at the bridge went back to the island,
carrying passengers that were later
brought from the city. A large crowd
was at the depot to take the S:4O train,
as there was to have been a ball at
Bohan's, and the would-be passengers
were disappointed when they found
that the S:4O had been annulled. Those
who had bought tickets had their
money refunded. it was a disappoint
ment. too, to Mr. Bohan, who would
have had the biggest ball crowd of the
season. Residents were taken to the
island by a train leaving about an hour
late.
-Ilia Passenger* in Three Cars.
It was not until some time after the
accident that news of it reached Tybee.
Supt. Saussy could not arrange to have
the 10:20 train leave the island for the
city at that hour. It was not until
about 11:30 o'clock that it left. Then
there were but three coaches and a
baggage car, and into these 403 pas
sengers were crowded. They had to
stand on the platform and, in fact,
hang on wherever and however they
could. Fifteen or twenty minutes were
required for the transfer of the pas
sengers at the bridge, where a train
was waiting on the west side, and it
was nearly 1 o’clock when they reach
ed the city. Most of the passengers
were members and friends of an or
gaization that had held a picnic at Ty
bee.
A bridge gang was secured last night
by Supt. Saussy from the Central
Railway, and work was begun. It is
expected that the required repairs will
be made to-day.

BOY BURGLAR ARRESTED.
Youthful Crook Drake Into House on
Thirty-fifth Street.
Ernest Gaillard ,a 13-year-old col
ored boy, was arrested last night by
Detective Wall, for burglarizing the
house No. 672 West Thirty-fourth
street, and most of the property stolen
was recovered., ,
Wednesday afternoon the boy broke
into the house and stole several ar
ticles of clothing. After ransacking the
premises he made his escape. The
burglary was reported to the police,
and although the boy concealed his
tracks, Detective Wall, who was put
on the case, found several clews which
led to the boy’s arrest.

BOUGHT MACON’S CAR LINE.
Savannah Capitul Largely Interest
ed In the Deal.
Mayor Myers and Capt. W. W. Mack
all returned Yesterday morning from
Macon. Mayor Myers was seen about
the street railway deal. He said that
a number of Savannahians are inter
ested in it, and that, in fact, the con
solidation of the street railway inter
ests of Macon is one of the few finan
cial enterprises of such scope in the
South in which Southern capital, ex
clusively, is represented. John L. Wil
liams' Sons of Richmond and William
Middendorf & Cos. of Baltimore are in
cluded, but those cities the Mayor re
gards as of the South.
“We think, an excellent business op
portunity is offered in Macon,” said the
Mayor. “The companies have been
making money, but not as much as
they will earn under anew system and
after the material improvements con
templated have beeji made. We will
expend from SIOO,OOO to $150,000 upon
these improvements, and the system
will be perfected. In order for a street
railway property to pay if. must be put
uiion an excellent footing. It must
have good tracks, good cars and af
ford a quick and satisfactory service.
All these things the people of Macon
will have under the new system.
“Some of the property has deterior
ated considerably. That of the Con
solidated Company is not in good con
dition, but it will not be long before it
is restored. More than $700,000 of
capital was required to effect the con
solidation. A charter for the new
company will be obtained, and some
name for it is to be decided upon.”
The Macon Telegraph says of the
deal:
"The Macon stockholders of the Ma
con Electric Light and Railway Com
pany stand just w here they did' before
the transaction; that is, they are to
get their same stock or its equivalent.
“Something over $300,000 changed
hands by the transaction, and the Bos
ton interests w’hich have controlled
•the Macon Consolidated and the Met
ropolitan Companies have been elimi
nated.
“The name of the new company will
be the Macon Light and Railway Com
pany, the electric lighting plant hav
ing been included in the properties
merged. The word ‘electric’ is to be
dropped from the name of the concern,
because it is considered too long and
unwieldly.
• r Of course the privilege of consolida
tion will be asked of the City Council,
but in return for that privilege the
new company promises free transfers,
improved service, up-to-date equipment
and the general upbuilding of those
sections of the city through Which the
lines will pass.
“Some tracks will be changed, but
this will be definitely decided upon la
ter. Mr. T. J. Carling will be a big fac
tor fn the new concern.
“The power plant now used by the
Macon Consolidated Company will be
abolished after the new equipment is
received, but it will run probably eix
months longer.”
CRAZED PATIENT RAN AMUCK.
Fsenpeil From St. Joseph'* Haggerty
Made Trouble for Polleemen.
Delirious, and almost crazed by hi3
illness, John H. ' Haggerty, a black
smith who has been in St. Joseph’s
Hospital, made his escape yesterday,
and before he was captured made
tilings warm for two policemen and
four negroes.
Clad only in pis shirt and trousers
the man rushed from the hospital.
Down Habersham street he ran pell
mell and dashed into the saloon kept
by J. H. Inmen at the corner of Jones
street. His wild demeanor put those,
who were in the saloon when he en
tered, to flight, and Mounted Police
man J. G. Harper attracted to the
spot by the excitement, enter
ed and attempted to place
Haggerty under arrest. The policeman
reckoned without his host, however,
and the former hospital patient, pos
sessed with the strength of a madman,
made a vicious assault on, the police
man. Harper managed to stand him
off until Ocean Steamship Policeman
P. J. Golden came to his assistance.
Together the two officers formed in
line of battle and charged on Hag
gerty. The latter made a stubborn
light, and four negroes came to the
assistance of the policemen. Hagger
ty was finally captured and taken
back to the hospital.
Up to the time lie was placed in the
violent ward Haggerty continued to
fight wildly. He had been in this ward
up to this morning, when he was tak
ep out. as It was thought he had suf
ficiently recovered to be placed with
the other patients.
Haggerty is not insane, but de
lirium, resulting from his illness,
caused his outbreak.
NEW CAPTAIN IN GUARDS.
11. E. Wilson Succeed* F. C. Wilson
In Command of Battery C.
Mr. H. E. Wilson was elected cap
tain of Battery C of the Savannah
Volunteer Guards at a meeting of the
company last night. The election was
informal, and was, therefore, but the
nomination of Mr. Wilson, which will
be ratified legally at an election soon
to be held.
Capt. F. C. Wilson resigned the cap
taincy because of other demands upon
his time, which make it impossible
for him to devote as much time to his
company's affairs as he deemed neces
sary. In the election of his brother
to its command, the company has
made no mistake, as it is expected
that, under its new captain, the com
mand will grow in strength and effi
ciency.
Mr. Wilson has long served as a
private in Battery B. He has had a
military training that will fit him for
the captaincy of Battery C. He at
tended the military school at Dah
lonega, from which* he was graduated
as captain.
FIRST DISTRICT REPUBLICANS.

pointment by Postmaster Rlun of
Thomas W. Walker to succeed William
Chisholm, porter in the custodian force
at the postoffice. Several other ap
pointments have been made by Nlr.
Blun as custodian, but Walker’s is the
only one from the First District in
which the meeting was interested.
Resolutions were also passed urging
voters to register for the coming elec
tions. J. C. Williams was elected as
sistant secretary of the district, and E.
A. Fields treasurer. L. A, Washington
is district secretary.
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. JULY 18. 1902.
WONT PAY THE BILL
COMMISSIONERS SIRE TO TUHN
THE GRAND JURY DOXVX.
NO EXPERTS FOR THEM.
UNLESS GRAND JIRY ITSELF WILL
DEFRAY THE EXPENSE.
Commissioners Steadfastly Refuse to
Discuss the Matter, but There's No
Doubt They Are Not Going to Fay
for the Examination, by un Expert
Accountant, of the Buoks of County
Officers—Believed That County At
torney Cann Has Already Express
ed mi Informal Opinion That the
Commissioners Are Not Liable.
Last Law Leaves Grand Jury Out.
Although the County Commissioners
consistently refuse to discuss the pro
posed employment by the grand jury
of an expert accountant, to examine
the books of the county officers, one
thing in connection with the matter is
reasonably certain. That is that the
commissioners will not honor the bill,
and if they finally pay it, it will be
after a legal fight.
This is as certain as if the commis
sioners had announced it from the
housetops, instead of observing the ut
most reticence on the subject, as they
have been doing. From a perfectly
authoritative source it is learned that
this is their purpose and that they will
follow it out to the end nobody famil
iar with the subject for a single in
stant doubts. Although County At
torney Cann also refuses to discuss the
the subject there is every good reason
to believe that he has already infor
mally expressed the opinion that the
commissioners will not be required
either to honor or pay such a bill.
A law passed at the last session of
the general assembly permits the coun
ty commissioners "to employ an expert
accountant to examine and report on
the books, vouchers and accounts of
any county officers whose duty it is un
der the law to handle county funds,”
but nothing in this law has any refer
ence to the grand jury.
It would seem to be probable that a
very pretty fight will soon be on.
Judge Barrow charged the grand jury
that it had a right to employ such an
expert and the grand jury has already
decided to engage him. When it comes
to collecting his fee, however, it will
be a horse of a different color, for the
commissioners are certainly not going
to pay it without a fight—and a good,
long, hard one, if necessary, at that.
It occasionally happens that a grand
jury fails to make any very close ex
amination of books and accounts of
the county officers, but the last three
grand juries before the present one
did make such examinations, and at
their close marked the books "exam
ined and found correct.” The reports
of the committees by which the exam
inations were conducted have been
made parts of the general present
ments of the respective grand juries.
When the commissioners are asked
to consider the payment of the fees
of an expert for examining the books
of county officers they feel they have
a kick coming, and will be sure
to make it. There are three terms
of court a year and three grand
juries; to pay for an expert for each
of them would mean an expenditure of
the county’s money ranging from Sl.-
000 to $3,000 a year. With the prece
dent once established, the com
missioners believe it is not likely
that many grand juries would feel suf
ficiently public-spirited and self-sacri
ficing to do themselves what they can
have done at the expense of the
county.
THE HOUSE OF HOO-HOO.
To Re Eroded at the Louisiana Tur
ehiise Ex position.
The Hoo Hoo of the country, under
the leadership of their energetic
brethren in St. Louis, are arranging for
the erection of a House of Hoo-Hoo on
the grounds of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition. The architect's drawing
of. the proposed building and the dia
grams of the floor space show that it
will be a handsome, imposing and con
venient structure.
The plans of the order contemplate
making of the House of Hoo-Hoo a
lumbermen’s club, which will have an
existence during the life of the exposi

method of arranging matters in mul
tiples of three the club's membership
will be limited to 9,999 and the dues
will be $9.99.
Mr. Ber, B. Neal, of Savannah, rep

and remitting subscriptions.
CALL.
Levine Visited Georgia Garvey and
Then Tried to Kill Her.
Julius Levine, a 23-year-old negro,
was arrested last night by Ocean
Steamship Policeman Golden charged
with having attempted to kill Georgia

WAITING OfT STEPHENS.
Committee Hopeful He Will Accept
tlie Shoot Chairmanship.
The committee from the military of
ficers of the city, appointed night be
fore last to secure an executive head
for the prospective interstate small
arms shoot to be held in Savannah next
month, called on Capt. W. B. Stephens
of the Savannah Volunteer Guards yes

of the honor and asking his acceptance.
Capt. Stephens took the matter under

an answer from him to-day.
Cot. George T. Cann, Capt. Walter E.

all that is necessary is the efforts of an

EDITORS’ DAY AT TYBEE.
Georgia Newspaper Men Made the
Mont of It.
Georgia editors are making a pleas
ant stay at Tybee. The various attrac
tions of the resort are receiving (heir
enthusiastic patronage, and not one of
the editors seems to regret having
made his return home from Quitman,
where they held their convention, via
Tybee and Savannah.
That the editors are enjoying them
selves ail admit. President W. S. Cole
man makes cheerful comments upon
the good time that all are having, and
Miss Edna Cain of Quitman, vice presi
dent, speaks with undisguised enthu
siasm of her own pleasant stay.
A number of the visiting editors left
Tybee last night, being desirous of get
ting back to their homes. Their papers
are dependent upon their being at hand
to furnish “copy,” and this is a consid
eration that drives those who did not
arrange for supply men during their
absence.
"Some of us,” said one of the edi
tors, "have suspended publication for
one issue. You see it is like this:
Most of the editors of the Georgia
weeklies consider that they have a
right to fail of an issue twice a year.
They think, as a rule, that they can
rightfully miss getting out a paper at
Christmas and at Fourth of Juiy.
Some of us, knowing that the Georgia
Weekly Press Association was to have
its convention at Quitman, and that a
good t|n}fe could be expected, decided
to pass over the Fourth of Juiy hiatus
and allow it to cover the dates of the
convention and these pleasant days
that we are spending at Tybee.”
The stay of a number of the visit
ors, therefore, will extend over until
Monday. It was not apparent yester
day. that there was any prospect of
the editors and the ladies accompany
ing them finding the time hang heav
ily upon their hands. The aurf was
the chief of the seaside attractions,
and great sport was found by all who
took their dip in the • deep.

SHARPER WANTED IN ATLANTA
Roeciithul. Who Buncoed Miller
Brothers Here.
Chief of Police Reilly yesterday re
ceived a letter from Chief of Police
Ball of Atlanta, in answer to his re
quest to the Atlanta police to look out
for Myer Rosenthal, alias Morrison,
who swindled Miller Bros., stationers,
of this city out of a valuable gold
watch and $lO in cash.
In his letter Chief Ball states that
Rosenthal is also wanted in Atlanta.
Some time ago he was arrested in
that city charged with gambling. He
was arraigned before Recorder Broyles
and put under a small bond for trial.
Rosenthal got somebody to go on his
bond and then departed for parts un
known. The Atlanta police are very
anxious to get their hands on Rosen
thal, and if he is caught here he will
be turned over to the Atlanta authori
ties after the Savannah police are
through with him.
Rosenthal came here over a week
ago and represented himself as a
wealthy promoter from Atlanta. He
entered into a deal with Miller Bros,
and was to put $1,500 into the business
Ho was so smooth in his manner and
his talk so plausible that he got a gold
watch valued at $175 from one of the
brothers and succeeded in borrowing
$lO. He then quietly left town and the,
police were asked to look for him.
Chief Ball of Atlanta says there is
very little likelihood of Rosenthal go
ing back there on account of jumping
his bail.
PENALIZE EXCESS “TARS.”
Cotton Buyers Will Not Pay for Too
Much Bagging anil Ties.
The Southern Cotton Buyers Associa
tion, composed of many of the princi
pal firms in this line of business in
the Southeastern states, has announced
its purpost to place a penalty of fifty
cents a bale upon cotton which carries
more than six yards of bagging and
six ties. The penalty is to be in
creased according to the amount of
excess bagging there may be above the
six yajjs and six bands so allowed.
A circular announcing this purpose
has been sent out to all the ginners
in Georgia and Alabama, in which
states alone, it is stated, the trouble
with Excess “tare” is experienced. The
mills have manifested a very -decided
objection to paying for bagging and
ties when they buy cotton and have
acquired a habit, very unpleasant to
the buyers, of billing them back for
the excess.
Their determination to penalize cot
ton bales carrying an excess of "tare”
is merely a measure of self-protection.
The circular is sent out “in order that
this evil may be corrected and to
avoid having the planter suffer loss by
the penalty being put on his cotton for
excess bagging and ties.”

BRICK TOO COSTLY
MAYOR SAYS THAT IS WHY EAST
BROAD WILL HAVE SHELLS.
NO NEW STREET IS ASKED.
SO PRIVILEGE TO BE GRANTED BY
CITY NOT SO VALUABLE.
Mayor Myers Was Asked Why It Waa
That Council Would Decide Upon
a Shell Pavement for Eaat Brand
Street— Qnestion la One of Conven
ience for the Pnhlie, na the Street
Rnilxvny Company Doea Not Ask
for Right of Way on a Nexv Street,
hat Simply Wants to Improve Ita
Service—Sheila May Be Supplanted
With Brick at Any Time and the
Company Would Have to Bear Ita
Part of Expenae.
The report of the Streets and Lanes
Committee of the City Council to the
Committee of the Whole on the Savan
nah Electric Company’s petition for
franchise, will be made this afternoon
at 4 o'clock, when a special meeting
of Council will be held. The report is
favorable to the petition of the electric
company, recommending that the de
sired privileges be granted, provided
the company will agree to bear the
cost of establishing a shell pavement
on East Broad street, from the north
side of, Gwinnett to the north side of
Henry.
This recommendation of the Streets
and Lanes Committee has the ap
proval of Mayor Myers. He was seen
yesterday as to the question of the
East Broad street paving and was
asked why it is that shells, instead of
vitrified brick, aa>re not to be used.
“I do not consider,” said the Mayor,
“that the privileges asked by the com
pany are of sufficient value to justify
the city in making so exhorbitant a
demand as a brick paving. The city
couid not ask the company to lay brick
without itself bearing a portion of the
cost and having another portion fall
upon the property owners of East
Broad street. I do not think those
property owners are ready to bear
such an expense.
“With a shell pavement, however,
there would be a difference, for the
cost of such a pavement would be
about $5,000 or $6,000, and the city
couid require the company to defray
the entire cost. There is not very
much traffic on East Broad street, and
I think that a shell pavement will an
swer every need.
"The resolution to be offered Coun
cil will contain a clause whereby the
company may be required to bear its
proportion of the cost of a brick pave
ment at any time in the future that it
may be determined that one is neces
sary. If the shell pavement wears out
or the demands of traffic are such as
to render it desirable, the shells will
be removed and anew brick pavement
laid.
“The fact that the company is asking
for no new street should not be lost
sight of. It is simply asking for ad
ditional privileges on streets where
franchises are already held, in order
that its service may be improved.
Such an Improvement would add to
convenience of the public. If anew
street were asked for it would be a dif
ferent matter, and the company could
then be asked to pave, it with vitrified
brick.”
Messrs. George TANARUS„ and J. F. Cann
have filed a protest, as attorneys for
the Really Improvement and Trust
Company, against a shell pavement.
J. F. Cann, Esq., will ask to be ac
corded a hearing before the Commit
tee of the Whole.
Little doubt is felt that the report of
the committee will be adopted. Ex
pressions received from several mem
bers of the board indicate clearly that
it is their belief that Council will vote
to grant the privileges asked by the
company, provided it will pave the sec
tion of East Broad street indicated
with oyster shell.
The petition of the/ Savannah Elec
tric Company is the most important
matter to come before the meeting,
but others may be represented.

Don’t waste your good resolu

“When a resolve or fine glow
of feeling is allowed to evapo
rate without bearing practical
fruit, it is worse than a chance
lost; it works so as positively
to hinder future resolutions
and emotions from taking the
normal path of discharge ;
Let your resolve and action be
to “Get it at Rowlinski’s,” for
it’s always a good resolution,
and can’t be wasted.
