Fire a Small One.
Dashing down Oglethorpe avenue
at a break neck speed. Fire Engine
No. 3 smashed into one of the long
summer cars of the Savannah Electric
Company on the Habersham street line
last night, tearing the big center pole
of the engine to splinters, and throwing
one of the horses down and injuring
him.
There were no passengers on the
rear end of the car. and no one was
hurt. Two ladies standing near the
corner had a narrow escape, having to
run for their lives to escape the en
gine which had been driven somewhat
out of its course in an endeavor to
avoid the accident.
Supt. Maguire stated after the fire
that he would have Motorman E. W.
DeLioach placed on the docket tills
morning for running his car in a reck
less fashion. He said that he consider
ed the accident attributable to the neg
ligence of the motorman, who should
have known that fire engines have the
right of way, and should have acted
accordingly. The matter has not yet
been Investigated by the Electric com
pany. The accident was reported to
headquarters. It was stated that
there was little damage to the car.
Struck lit Right Angles.
The department was answering an
alarm from box 17. on Ogle
thorpe avenue and East Broad
street. Egine No. 3 was
proceeding down the north side of
Oglethorpe avenue at a lively clip.
When a short distance from Haber
sham street, Driver Kllroy saw the
approaching car. The car, too, was
running at no slow rate. It seemed as
if a general smash-up was unavoida
ble. Driver Kilroy swung back on the
reins in an attempt to check the speed
of his chargers. Seeing that he could
not stop his car in time, the motorman
increased his speed.
The long car had gotten almost by
when a loud crash was heard, one of
the frightened animals stumbled and
fell, but was pulled to his feet quickly
by the driver. The center pole of the
engine had caught in the rear portion
of the car. There were but two pas
sengers on the car and they were
thoroughly frightened. Slight damage
was done to the car, but the engine
and horses did not fare so lightly.
Engine Drn*vn by Hand.
The engine proceeded on to the fire,
slowly being drawn by the single
trees. An examination showed that tiie
pole was a useless adjunct, and that it
would be dangerous to attempt to re
turn to the engine house with the en
gine in the condition it was in. Con
sequently the horses were taken out,
and the engine was pushed back to
station house No. 2 by the firemen
and spectators who lent a helping
hand.
The injuries to the horse, a hand
some black charger, while not serious,
were such as to require the attention of
a veterinary surgeon. He will be laid
up for a week or more.
It was stated after the accident that
had the three-horse-hitch been used,
as is the custom, the accident would
probably have been more serious. Ow
ing to repairs being made on the boil
er, the two-horse-hitch was used.
Driver Mini His Eyes.
Driver Kilroy said that when he saw
the approaching car he thought his last
day had come. He shut his eyes and
swung back on the reins with all his
might, expecting every minute to hear
the crash. He declared that the car
was running at a high rate of speed.
The damage resulting from the fire
Itself was not considerable. A one
story house, occupied by R. Smalls,
colored, at 543 York street, east, was
partially destroyed, the roof and part
of the garret being burned. The prin
cipal damage was done by water.
PUBLIC LIBRARY
DRAWS CROWDS.
The library committee of the Public
Library held its July meeting last
night at which a report for the two
•weeks of the active existence of the
library, beginning June 17, was made
by Miss Maude Heyward, assistant li
brarian. This report makes a most sat
isfactory showing. Since June 15 there
have been 1,630 visitors; 669 application
cards have been issued; 669 borrowers
cards given out, and 570 books have
been lent.
The number of visitors to the build
ing and the number of books taken
out are nearly four times as many as
tinder the old system. The report of
the assistant states that the work of
numbering and classifying the books
is going forward ub rapidly as possi
ble. Fiction, children's books, travels,
European history and a part of Amer
ican history are now ready and are
being used by the public. It is hoped
to have an additional section ready
ch week until the work has been
completed.
WAITING 0N *MATERIAL NOW.
Work On the Germania Hank Will
A'*it Be Delayed ly Lack of Labor.
If the material for the continuance
of the erection of the new Germania
Bank building arrives before Monday
the work on the building will be push
ed to completion as rapidly as possible,
the contractors suffering no delay
through lack of labor or the dis
charge of the union bricklayers who
•were intent upon going on a strike
several days ago, but who were dis
charged before they walked out.
Supt. Bell has made arrangements
for what labor he needs, and if the
material is on hand there win be no
further delay. The men who were
discharged are still out, and will not
be employed again. Among them is
a son of Supt. Bell.
FUTURE OF METHODISM
AND ITS DANGERS.
Kev. H. C. Christian will preach to
morrow night at Wesley Monumental
Church on "The Future of Methodism
With the Dangers Confronting It." The
subject Is one that can hardly fail to
interest not only the large body of
Methodists in but members
of other denominations ns well.
BETHESDA BOYS
GET BASEBALL OUTFITS.
Mr. 11. M. I .timer Will Make Presen
tation To-flay.
When Mr. R. M. Earner of Washing
ton started a subscription a few days
ago to get two complete outfits of base
ball paraphernalia for the orphan boys
at Bethesda many people thought that
it was hardly probable that the amount
desired would be raised. Mr. Earner
suggested SSO as the sum needed, and
for a day or two the list grew' slowly.
Then it took a spurt, and to-day it
stands some dollars over the needed
figure. Yesterday the uniforms, bats,
balls, masks, gloves, and other stuff so ■
necessary for the fitting out of two
teams were selected at the store of
Wm. & H. H. Eattimore, and sent out
to Bethesda in care of Supt. Chaplin.
The stuff was put in at reduced rates
on account of the worthy end which
the goods are to serve and this contri
bution of the firm was much appre
ciated.
Mr. Earner expects to be over at
Bethesda this morning and will person
ally deliver to the boys the goods that
have been secured for their pleasure
and enjoyment. He will very likely be
asked to umpire the first match game
I between the rival teams of the insti
tution and the boys who are not mem
bers of either team will be the audi
ence. The securing for the boys of
the requisites for playing the national
game will undoubtedly prove a source
of the greatest gratification to them,
and they will long remember the
Washington baseball fan who is now
spending a short vacation in this
neighborhood.
The fund was increased yesterday
by the following subscriptions: Cash,
50 cents; cash, $1; George A. Mell, $1;
cash, 50 cents; D. Bennett, $1; pre
viously acknowledged, 52.50; total,
$56.50. The amount over the SSO ask
ed for will be turned over to Supt.
Chaplin, and he will be asked to spend
it for the pleasure of the boyß.
NAT BEDFORD* *
DID NOT ARRIVE.
Officer Sent For Roy Expected to Re
turn Yesterday.
The deputy sheriff sent to Columbia,
S. C„ for Nat. E. Bedford, who is
wanted here for stealing from his em
ployer, Mr. George S. Haines, did not
return with the prisoner yesterday as
was expected. It is likely, however,
that he will get in on the morning
train. While it was said that Bedford
expressed his willingness to come back
to Savannah without extradition pa
pers it is possible that he may have
changed his mind at the last moment.
In case the young man insisted upon
such a course Mr. Haines will have
the paperft made out without delay.
Considerable talk was heard on the
streets regarding the second fall of
Bedford and his way of living. The
“toadying” that he is remembered as
doing during a visit of some of the
great Vanderbilt family was brought
up. and it was said that all of his
fawning brought him nothing.
Since this latest escapade Mr. Haines
has heard that Bedford was leading a
very fast life. His conduct was such
as to be hardly expected In a youth of
18 years, but the evidence is not want
ing.
If the deputy sheriff started with
Bedford last night the two will arrive
at about 9 o'clock this morning.
TAX RECEIVER*/*
CONSIDERATE MAN.
Is Keeping Riai Rooks Open Longer
Timu I mini Purely for Accommo
(l nf lon.
Tax Receiver Marcus ,S. Baker has
not yet closed the supplemental list
which was opened for the convenience
and economy of delinquents and pro
crastinating property owners a fort
night ago. It is his desire to accom
modate the taxpayers and incidentally
swell the general figures of the digest.
The preparation of the digest has al
ready been undertaken, and will be
finished by Aug. 1, at which time it
must be in the hands of the controller
general. The tax books have been
closed some time in other counties, and
it is purely as a matter of accommo
dation that the ones in Chatham coun
ty are now being kept open. In some
of the counties the digest has been
completed.
The reports from these counties and
from other counties in w’hich the di
gest has not been completed, but where
general estimates are obtainable in
dicate a slight Increase in tax values
throughout the state. The estimated
increase in Chatham county of nearly
a million dollars will, it is thought,
eclipse the records of any of the other
counties In the state.

A tour of education would best de
scribe the trip made over the Mill
Haven line of the Savannah Electric
Company which was opened yesterday.
By invitation of the company about
125 Savannahians made the trip over
the nevv line and such part of the old
system as will be included in the route,
and, after reaching the manufacturing
districts, left the cars and inspected
the various plants and industries lo
cated west of the city, which are, by
the new line, furnished easy communi
cation.
The educational part of the trip was
in showing the business men of Sa
vannah the number and size of the
many plants so close to the city and
the extent and value of their output.
Because of the limited time at the
disposal of the party only a few of
these plants were inspected, but even
these were enough to show that Sa
vannah is not becoming a manufactur
ing city, but is already one.
In file Factory District.
Possibly not ten per cent, of the
visitors had ever inspected anyone of
the plants before and they were, there
fore, the more impressed not only with
CLISTOJi 11. KIDDER,

Cos in puny.
thir size, the rush of work and the
amount of the output, but also with
the very excellent locations, improved
machinery and splendid facilities not
only for shipping their product but lor
securing, at the lowest possible cost,
the raw material. The Visitors watch
ed with the closest attention work in
the various departments of each of
the plants Inspected and had nothing
but rraise and admiration to express
concerning everything they saw.
The trip began at 3:30 o’clock,
from the City Exchange. Some 100
to 500 invitations had been sent out
and cars to provide for that number of
persons h:.d been assigned for the trip,
but because of the hour and of va
rious business meetings and other
things the number of guests was only
enough to need two ears and only this
number made the trip.
The route was from the Exchange
east on Bay street, to Abercorn, which
was followed to B|rougttton, thence
west on that street to West Broad,
to Margaret, and then along the reg
ular route of the West End Bine to
the old waterworks road which was
followed to Schwarz avenue, and this
taken to Factory road, and the Mill
Haven Company's plant.
Tiikes in Hiimliicms Section.
The route was planned to take In the
business section of the city. How well
the plan succeeds is shown by the fact
that the new line will pass the West
ern Union Telegraph Company, the
Custom House, the Postal Telegraph
and Cable Company, Cotton Exchunge,
Board of Trade and all the business
houses and offices on Bay street, be
tween West Broad and Abercorn
streets. It also reaches the retail busi
ness portion of Broughton street, thus
giving direct connection between all
business sections of the city and the
manufacturing district.
Among those who made the trip were:
Mayor Herman Myers, President G. J.
Baldwin and General Manager Kidder
of the Savannah Electric Company,
Messrs. W. W. Mackall, Alexander R.
Lawton, R. L. Colding, Emile Newman,

Greeted With Whistle Blasts.
The trip was made to the end of the
line, the Mill-Haven Co.'s plant, before
a stop ivas made, but as each factory
was passed on the way out whistles of
all sorts from a shrill screech to the
vari-voiced siren shrieked a welcome,
and the workers gathered at the win
dows and waved their hats and hands.
The Mill-Haven plant was the first
inspected. The party, led by General
Manager Kidder of the Electric Com
pany, visited the quarters of the con
victs, then scattered over the various
departments of the plant. The size
of this manufactory and of its business
is shown in a booklet just issued by
the Electric company showing that
the product of the plant amounts to
100,000 feet of pine lumber a day, which
is shipped by the company from its
own wharves, near the mill. The plant
runs night and day, being lighted at
night by electric arc. incandescent
and Nernst lamps, power for lighting
being furnished by the Savannah Elec
tric Company.
The plant Is equipped with dry kiln

the Juniors having the hours from 7
to 9 o'clock, as announced, they will
have the gymnasium between 9 and
11 o'clock on Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays. The change from the aft
ernoon hours is on account of the

afternoons at 6:39 o’clock, and the
young men's classes Tuesdays, Thurs
days and Saturdays at 9 o'clock. The

ton Street I’nrk This Afternoon.
Celebration ut Konrke’s Iron
Works nnd Other Special Features.
Fair weather, with light breezes,
mostly from the south and southwest,
is what the weather men have prom
ised for the “Glorious Fourth” and
while they didn’t say anything about
its being hot, those who spent yester
day within the confines of the city are
pretty well satisfied that it will be a
“scorcher.”
The temperature records have been
made within the last few days In the
Nort’h and East, but that is no reason
why it shouldn’t be warm in Savan
nah on the 4th of July. The proprie
tors of the out-of-town resorts have
long ago made a compact with the
weather department to have it hot on
this day of days, and business might
be very dull if the sun didn’t shine
good and strong.
The people in this section will be
made to realize the fact that the Na
tion’s Birthday has arrived, possibly
sooner than some may wish to be dis
turbed, for the Chatham Artillery,
in*accordance with Its annual custom,
will fire the national salute at sun
rise.
Those who live near enough to Fort
Screven will also hear some booming
for every army post and fort and
every warship will pay tribute in
smoke and powder to the stirring days
of ’76 and give a cheer for the great
est country on the face of the globe.
When the people generally decide to
dress and come out they will find that
the Fourth is to be celebrated in good
style and that a great number of busi
ness places are closed and thousands
have made plans for spending the
day.
The postoffice and the banks, city of
fices, courts and offices generally will
take advantage of the legal holiday
and a great number of business
houses will close for the day, or part
of it, at least. The day being Saturday
it would be a half holiday anyway with
a great many big concerns, and the
remainder of the day will be cheer
fully given to employes by many em
ployers.
The usual celebration is booked for
Rourke’s Iron Works, and all who
have every enjoyed one of these an
nual occasions testify to the pleasure
they afford.
The amusements will not all be con
fined to the resorts, fo-r there will be
a lively game of baseball this after
noon at the Bolton Street Park. The
C. L. A. and Chatham Artillery teams
w ill meet and a fine game is expected.
Special arrangements have been
made at the three principal resorts
in the neighborhood of Savannah for
a merry day, and there seems to be
no good reason why there raouldn’t
be patrons enough to go ’round and
make each separate celebration a big
success.
Down at Tybee.
The Central of Georgia has arranged
to have trains running every little
while during to-day and to-night, and
all who wish to take a run to the sea
shore can do so, and will not be lone
some.
The greatest attraction for all who
go to Tybee is naturally the Atlantic
ocean, and the fact that there will be
splendid surf and just the right tide
for bathing all of the afternoon has
decided hundreds in the question of
where to spend the Fourth. Thou
sands will no doubt spend a good por
tion of the day in the water, and will
enjoy every minute of the romp with
Old Neptune.
Music and dancing at both pavilions
will be the order all day and a con
siderable portion of the night. The
hungry will he fed and the thirsty
need not go without something cool
and liquid. It isn’t likely that anyone
will sigh for the smell of powder dur
ing the day, but when night conies on
there will be a fine display of fire
works at tlie Hotel Tybee.
At I*le of Hope.
Things will be merry and lively at
the Isle of Hope to-day and visitors
to this pretty riverside suburb will
find that great preparation has been
made for them. The regatta of the
Atlantic Yacht Club will be the leading
feature of the afternoon, and music
and dancing at Barbee’s pavilion, and
the shoot the chutes, will fill in the
time and extend the pleasures after
nightfall.
A quick and satisfactory schedule
will be operated on the Isle of Hope
route and arrangements have been
made for handling a crowd.
Thunderbolt.
The Casino at Thunderbolt will be
gay from early morning to late at
night. The management has prepared
for a rush and will be ready to enter
tain and serve patrons in good style.
The First Regiment Band has been
engaged to give concerts in the after
noon and evening. The excellent
vaudeville company will be seen in en
tertainments at 5 o'clock and 9 o’clock.
Punch and Judy shows will fill in the
morning for the children. The poly
scope will be put to work with some
new pictures after the vaudeville
show at night, and the Casino grounds
will be brilliantly illuminated.
The various pavilions and landings
at Thunderbolt will no doubt be well
patronized all day and many fishing
and sailing parties will go out from
them on the Wilmington river.
