STAMPEDE CAUSED
BY MAD BULL DOG
EMPTIED HELMKEN’S CAFE
AND KEPT POSSESSION OP 110 l SB
UNTIL SHOT BY PATROLMAN.
Sex Lamined and Bng Pnt Over Its
Head—Escaped from Captors and
Made Them Ran for Safety—One
Fell Length of Flight of Steps to
lard—Dor: Attacked Furniture,
Destroyed Curtains, Smashed Val
uable I.ain p and Jumped Through
Class Door.
Seemingly mad, and snapping at
everything in sight, a large bulldog,
owned by Mr. Thomas Halligan, caus
ed men, women and children to scram
ble for places of safety shortly before
2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. '
Although no one was bitten by the
dog, considerable damage was done in
the cate of J. H. Helmken, at Liberty
and Whitaker streets, a great deal of
excitement was occasioned, more than
a score of people were badly fright
ened and the neighborhood was thrown
into an uproar. The dog was finally
killed by Patrolman D. J. Walker.
As the dog ran madly down Liberty
street people dodged into doorways.
Pedestrians threw dignity to the four
winds and vied with each other in
efforts to clip a few seconds off the
world’s record for short-distance
dashes. When the dog made its rush
from Barnard street to Whitaker, on
Liberty, the block suddenly became de
serted. The canine dashed for Helm
ken's cafe, and the cry of "Mad dog”
was raised.
Woman Grabbed Baby.
The animal, a large one, was owned
by Mr. Thomas Halligan. The dog was
noticed by those in Helmken's as it ran
across the street and started into the
store. Mr. Arnold Seyden managed to
keep the dog out of the store by shut
ting the doors. Before the door of the
cafe could be closed the animal went
in. Then followed a mad scramble, on
the part of the people in the house, for
places of safety. One lady caught up
a baby and just managed to get on the
varanda and shut the door behind her
before the dog got to the hallway on
the second story.
Mr. John Schroder and others man
aged to lasso the canine and get a
crocus sack over its head, but the dog
got loose, freed itself from the sack,
and then ran its captors out of the
house. One of them in his effort to es
cape, fell all the way down the steps
into the yard below. With no person
in sight at whom he could get the dog
ran into the parlor and tore at every
thing in reach. He partly destroyed the
curtains, knocked down and smashed
a valuable lamp, and upset things gen
erally.
Plunged Through Glaus Door.
Then the dog plunged through a glass
door and turned and gnawed the edges
of the broken glass until its mouth
was badly cut. In an effort to get
through the banisters and to the peo
ple In the yard below the canine
was wedged between the spokes of the
rail. While in that position Patrol
man Walker appeared on the scene
and shot it from the yard. Three
shots went into the dog before it suc
cumbed sufficiently to fall into the
yard, and then a final bullet through
Its head put an end to its suffering.
At the request of Mr. Haliigan the
dog was examined by Dr. M. A. Mor
ris, veterinary surgeon, after it had
been killed by the uniformed man Dr.
Moris stated that the canine had not
been suffering with rabies, but only
had a fit. Mr. Haliigan prized tsie
dog highly.
CONTINUED THE CASE
AGAINST L. 0. GREGORY.
Charged 'With Stealing Pnrse on S.
A. 1,. Train.
The hearing in the case against L.
O. Gregory, charged with stealing a
purse containing $65 from W. R. Mc-
Connell, Jr., was continued in Po
lice Court yesterday, because of the
absence from court of the train hand
who said he had seen Gregory wi/!t
the purse. It is thought the flagman
will arrive in the city in time for court
this morning. If so, the case will be
finished then.
The purse was lost on a t*ullman
car on the Seaboard Air Line, just
this side of Jacksonville, Saturday
night. Mr. McConnell testified to hav
ing missed the purse only a short time
after leaving his seat in the smok
ing compartment in the Pullman. He
had gone from the smoker to the writ
ing table in the other end of the car,
when the conductor came for his ticket.
When he felt for the purse to get the
ticket, it was gone. He told of one
of the train hands saying he had seen
Gregory with the purse. Gregory
made no statement at all In court.
MADE STEAM YACHT
OF STOLEN SKIFF.
Boys Secured Bargain from St ran-,
ger, bat Mast Pny Now.
Although a skiff stolen from Wil
liam H. Dyer Friday had been con
verted into a steam yacht it was
recognized by the owner yesterday
morning.
The skiff was stolen from the dock
at the foot of East Broad street and
was found at the Market dock. It was
In charge of a negro boy who said he
was Walter Greene. Several w’hite
boys who had purchased the boat left
it in his charge.
The boys related that they had pur
chased the boat from a stranger and
had given him $5 for it. This was on
the same day that It was stolen. Mr.
Dyer declared that the skifT had been
ruined, and as the boys were unable
to locate the stranger from whom they
had made the purchase they agreed to
pay SBO for the boat. The owner
stated that he had refused this
amount for the skiff a week ago.
NO TRIALS BY JURY

TO MOVE GARBAGE DUMP
BACK FR*)M TRACKS.
Will Go 4,000 Feet Farther Back
from Car Line.
At a meeting yesterday of commit
tees representing the County Commis
sioners, the city, and the Savannah
Electric Company, it was decided to
move the garbage dump 4,000 feet fur
ther from the tracks on the Isle of
Hope branch. This will make the gar
bage more than 1,500 yards distant
from the tracks.
Under the present conditions the
garbage has been dumped on the coun
ty farm within 600 feet of the Isle of
Hope line. The offensive odors aris
ing from this pile made riding on tjie
cars a positive discomfort. Com
plaints regarding this were many, and
it became necessary for the commis
sioners to take some steps to remedy
the nuisance.
At the meeting the city was repre
sented by Mayor Herman Myers and
Alderman R. J. Pavant; President
Baldwin and Manager Nash represent
ed the trolley company and Chairman
Lathrop and Mr. A. B. Moore repre
sented the commissioners.
As soon as the oblections to the
present dumping ground were present
ed the joint committee agreed that
some steps should be taken at once to
remedy the existing evils. After some
discussion it was decided that if the
garbage should be placed 4,000 feet
further from the tracks, making a to
tal distance of 4,600 feet, the odors
arising from it would not be notice
able on the cars.
The garbage question is not yet
completely solved, though one of the
most offensive evils has been re
moved. Complaint has also been mode
that the wind has been scattering the
paper and other light material over the
farm, and along the trolley tracks.
Citizens residing along Whitaker
street have been loud tn their com
plaints, too. The garbage cars run
down Whitaker street, and the odor,
particularly in warm weather, is offen
sive.
FOUNTAIN REMANDED
ON TWO CHARGES.
Keeper of Saloon Where Negro Row
Occurred Will Be Tried.
On two charges, N. A. Fountain, the
owner of the saloon in Woodsvllle,
where there was a general negro fight
early Sunday morning, was yesterday
remanded to the City Court. He was
bound over for keeping open a tip
pling house on the Sabbath day and
for keeping a disorderly house.
Of the four negroes caught who were
engaged in the fight, three were either
sentenced in Police Court, or remand
ed to the City Court for trial. Caesar
Miller, the negro who was beaten up
so badly, was released. He had been
attacked by the other negroes because
he was supposed to be a spotter for
the officers. James Miller and George
Brown were each sentenced to pay a
fine of SIOO or serve thirty days. Ed
Kivers, the man found with a pistol
in his pocket, was remanded to the
City Court.
The officers testified to the condition
of the saloon and dance hall when they
arrived on the scene after the fight.
The bar was running in full blast, and
the place was packed with negroes,
men and women, who had been danc
ing and drinking all night. D. W. Zip
perer, who had several times com
plained to the police about the place,
was also present to testify, though he
knew nothing of the trouble Sunday
morning. Fountain gave bond for his
appearance In the City Court.
WANT STREETS OPENED
THROUGH SUNNY SIDE.
Flan to Rsteml Drayton, Abrrcom
nml Lincoln Street*.
Efforts are to be made to have Dray
ton, Abercorn and Lincoln streets
opened through Sunny Side, across
Esttll avenue. Council will be pe
titioned to make these Improvements
in the near future.
Residents in the Soifth Side have
been talking over the matter for some
time and will urge Council to extend
the streets. It is thought the exten
sion ot the streets through Sunny
Side will result in the property there
being greatly Improved. This matter
will probably be taken up at the meet
ing of the South Side Club Friday
night, and some petition framed to
place before Council.
DISMISSED CHARGE
AGAINST ELLIOTT.
Held There Was l.lltle Probability
of Securing a Conviction.
In the Superior Court yesterday
Judge Cann dismissed the perjury
charge against Joe Elliott. The charge
was dismissed on the ground that there
was little probability of there being
sufficient evidence against Elliott to se
cure a conviction.
Elliott is the negro who prosecuted
Isaac Harris, the janitor of Pythian
Castle, for larceny after trust. While
Elliott was giving his testimony Judge
Cann became so certain that he was
prevaricating that he ordered him held
for perjury, and Harris acquitted.
MYSTICSHRINERS TQ

Fallowed by Banquet.
The regular annual ceremonial of the
Mystic Shriners will be held at the
Masonic Temple to-night, when geveral

It is necessary for a candidate aspir
ing to membership in the Shriners to
be a Scottish Rite Mason and a Knight
Templar. The meeting will be followed
by a banquet and a number of im
promptu speeches will be made.
CONDITION STILL CRITICAL
There was no sign of Improvement
yesterday in the condition of Arthur
Thompson, the 12-year-old son of Mr.
Earnest Thompson, who was run over
by a trolley car late Saturday after
noon while playing on St. Julian street.
Dr. W. E. Norton said last night that
the child was in a critical condition,
and unless there Is a decided Improve
ment within the next twenty-four hours
It Is feared that the Injuries will prove
fatal.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. MARCH 29. 1904.
FENDERS MAY GO
ON STREET CARS
MAKING AN INVESTIGATION.
ALDERMAN OLIVER IS SEEKING IN
FORMATION FROM OTHER CITIES.
Says He Will Determine Whether to
Introduce Ordinance Requiring
Fenders on Cars After He Gets
More Light on Subject—'Thinks It
His Dnty to Investigate Matter, as
Mayor Recommended SucH nn Or
dinance—l pon Alderman Oliver's
Request, Mayor Wrote a Number
of Other Cities for Information.
It is not unlikely that a car fender
ordinance will be Introduced in City
Council in the near future.
Alderman Oliver is making an inves
tigation of ordinances of this character
in other cities to decide whether or not
it will be advisable to require the fend
ers here.
Mayor Myers several days ago, at the
request of Alderman Oliver, addressed
letters to the mayors of several of the
larger cities of the country, asking for
copies of such ordinances, and infor
mation as to efficiency of fenders, where
they have been used.
Yesterday the first reply, from Mayor
McClellan of New York, was received.
In that city there is no ordinance or
regulation requiring the fenders, Mayor
McClellan writes, though they are in
use. He has referred Mayor Myers’
letter “to the proper department” to
furnish information as to the efficiency
or desirability of the fenders.
There was nothing in Mayor McClel
lan's letter to throw any light on the
subject, but the Mayor turned it over
to Alderman Oliver, as he will all the
other replies that are received. The
letters requesting the information were
sent at the alderman’s request and all
communications received on the sub
ject will be given him.
Oliver la Investigating.
Alderman Oliver, when seen, said he
did not know whether he would in
troduce an ordinance requiring fenders
or not.
"The Mayor, in his annual message,
said that such an ordinance was need
ed, and recommended that one be pass
ed,” explained the alderman. “As an
alderman of the city, I am investi
gating the matter to see if the Mayor
is right. I am merely in the position
of a man seeking light. I want in
formation on the subject.
“Until I get the information and ap
ply it to local conditions I cannot say
what I will do. As an alderman, how
ever, I think I should investigate the
matter, as the Mayor has recommend
ed to Council that the fenders be re
quired. If after investigation, I con
clude that the fenders are not needed,
I shall not introduce any ordinance.
If on the contrary, I find that they
are desirable and should be used, I
will,”.
Aldermen Lost Interest.
The fender question was talked over
by the aldermen a great deal imme
diately after the reading of the Mayor’s
annual message, but the matter was
dropped without any one ever bring
ing it up in Council. For a time it
was thought that an ordinance would
be introduced. For several weeks none
of the aldermen have displayed any
interest in the matter, until Aider
man Oliver made his request of the
Mayor.
Manager L. R. Nash, of the Savan
nah Eletric Company, said shortly
after his arrival in Savannah, that he
had known of fenders to give good
service. He said he would favor a
perfect fender, but did not believe that
a perfect one had ever been made. He
had, however, known of them to bring
good results.
DIVORCE MILL RAN
IN SUPERIOR COURT.
Twelve Unhappy Married People
Were Separated Legally.
An end has been put to the married
woes of twelve more unhappy people,
divorces having been granted to that
number yesterday in the Superior
Court. All manner of causes were
brought forth, from cruelty to habit
ual drunkenness and cruelty. The fol
lowing Is the record for the day:
A first verdict was granted In the
case of Lyde Davis against John H.
Davis. The grounds brought forth
were that the defendant was given to
drinking, was cruel to his wife, and
neglected her shamefully. Once she
left him and returned on his promise to
reform, it is related. This promise was
not kept, it Is contended, and a total
divorce Is now asked.
Other cases were disposed of as fol
lows: Mazle Harris against Ben S.
Harris, decree; Abraham Smalls
against Nellie Smalls, decree; Isaac
Sanders against Georgia Sanders, de
cree; Anron Yelberton against Dora
Yelberton, decree; ' and Carrie Rhett
against Walter Rhett, decree.
The case of Lucinda Washington
against Sam Washingtonuwas marked
dismissed.
FIRST PAYMENT MADE
ON NEW CITY HALL.
Architect H. W. Wltcover Received
First Installment for Hie Services.
The first payment on the new City
Hall was made by the city yesterday,
when Architect H. W. Wltcover was
given $5,129.17 for his services in pre
paring the plans.
This is 2V4 per cent, of the contract
price of the building. Mr. Wltcover
will receive the same fee for super
vising the construction of the build
ing.
The first meeting of the new Build
ing Committee was held At noon In
the Mayor’s office. Mr. Wltcover's bill
was passed and the new building dis
cussed. The work on the new build
ing will begin Just as soon os the old
Exchange is torn down. This was
started yesterday and the work will
be pushed as rapidly as possible. It
will take two or three weeks, how
ever, to complete the demolishment jf
the old building.

CHICKENS AND PIGS
FOR MOTHER-IN-LAW.
Seaborne Doner Say* That I* Why
He Slapped Hl* Wife.
In the Superior Court yesterday Sea
borne Dorsey filed his answer to the
libel for divorce and alimony brought
by his wife, Susan Dorsey. The libel
was brought because Seaborne slap
ped his wife in the face, and for this
reason she alleged she could no longer
live with him.
In his answer Dorsey admits that he
slapped his wife in the face, but al
leges that her conduct and statements
so enraged him that he could no long
er restrain himself. Among other
things, she continued telling him, he
avers, that she was going to live With
another, and at last left him and
went to his mother-in-law.
Not content with this, he alleges that
he began missing his pigs and his
chickens, and upon investigation learn
ed that his wife had moved them over
to his mother-in-law. All efforts to
get them back were unavailing. Later,
the answer states, while he was at
work, she entered the home, took out
all the furniture, and moved that to
her mother’s house.
Despite the juggling with the chick
ens, the pigs, and the furniture, the
respondent claims he still loves his
wife and has offered to take her back,
if she will behave. Much of the blame
of the separation he places on the
aforesaid mother-in-law.
On these grounds he asks that the
court do not award her alimony. He
Is willing, he states, to provide for
the support and education of the
children, but does not think he should
be compelled to pay alimony. The an
swer was filed by Attorney W. M.
Heyward.
LETTER FROM^OFFICER
WHO DOES NOT EXIST.
Queer Document Exhibited Yester
day to the City Official*.
There was circulated around the city
offices yesterday a letter, purporting to
come from the tax collector of the city.
As there is no such office In the city
government, the letter, very naturally,
attracted a great deal of attention.
The letter was sent to Mr. P. F.
Wiehrs, of No. 511 Park avenue, west,
demanding that he take out a license
for engaging in the poultry business,
and threatening to issue an execu
tion against him. As Mr. Wiehrs is
not engaged in the poultry business,
and never ’ intends to be, he did not
want to take out a license. But he
did not want an execution Issued
against him, either, and he called at
the temporary offices of the city forces
to see about the matter. He then
learned that there was no such official
as tax collector.
The letter was typewritten on plain
paper, but at the top a heading was
written in with capital letters on the
machine. The letter follows:
Information has come to this office
that you have entered the poultry
business withotrt having procured a
license, and it is alleged that you have
already made sales. This is to advise
you that unless you call at this of
fice on or before April 1 next, and pay
the customary tax for doing such busi
ness, execution will be issued against
you.
There is a signature to the letter,
but no one has been able to read It.
Just what it all means has not been
figured out. That the date mentioned
for the execution. April 1, is the key
to the matter, has been suggested,
though this seems rather unreasonable.
There Is evidently supposed to be a
joke in the matter somewhere, but the
connection has not been figured out.
The letter Is now in the hands of
City Marshal Dreeson.

ELECTRIC FERRY
AT THUNDERBOLT
WILMINGTOM ISLAND ROAD.
SOUTH SIDERS ARE GOING TO TAKE
MATTER IP NOW.
Will Fas* Resolution* at a Meeting
Friday Night, anil Committee ot
Five Will Be Appointed to Appear
Before the County Commissioner*.
Improvement* Will Be Made on
Island, if the Road I* Built, and
It Will Probably Become a Popu
lar Summer Resort.
At the regular meeting of the South
Side Administration Club Friday
night a resolution will be passed and
a special committee appointed, urging
the building of a road from Thunder
bolt to Wilmington Island.
The plan, which has been agitated
before, includes the establishment of
an electric ferry from Thunderbolt
across to the marsh, where a cause
way will have to be constructed.
Those interested in the plan are very
enthusiastic and every effort will be
made to get the County Commission
ers to take the matter up at once.
It is understood that extensive im
provements on Wilmington Island are
to be made, if the road is built. It is
proposed to make it one of the most
attractive summer resorts about the
city. Those back of the movement to
secure the roadway have assurances
of assistance from quite a number of
prominent business men.
Will Appoint Committee,
The action of the South Side meeting
will be merely for the purpose of get
ting the matter started again. A com
mittee of five will be appointed to
take the matter up with the County
Commissioners. Though this commit
tee has not yet been selected, only
strong and Influential men will be
placed upon it.
According to the plan mapped out,
the electric ferry will run from Varn
& Byrd’s oyster factor at Thunder
bolt across to the road. The road will
have to be built for about 600 yards
through the marsh and then across
Whitmarsh Island. From Whltmarsh
Island it will cross Turner’s creek to
Wilmington Island. The road can be
constructed without any great cost,
it Is stated by those who have looked
into the matter. A part of the road
has already been mapped out.
Would Help Truck Grower*.
There are a number of summer homes
on the island now and the number
will be increased if the road is built.
The island land is also very rich and
there are several large truck farms
on it. The road is needed, its advo
cates say, not only by those who own
summer homes there, but by the truck
farmers.
It is thought the building of the road
would lead to the rapid development
of the island. It would immediately be
come popular with Savannahians and
it is thought it will be only a short time
before provisions are made for the en-.
tertainment of visitors from a dis
tance.
The island Is one of the most at
tractive places about Savannah, and
it Is thought It will be converted in
time into a popular summer resort.
The movement is not confined to
South Siders, though the new cam
paign for the road will be started at
their meeting.
THREE THINGS*NEEDED
FOR SOUL SALVATION:
Salt! Rev. Mr. Adams In Sermon at
Dally Street Baptist Church.
From the text “Seek ye the Lord
while He may be found; call upon Him
while He is near.” Rev. Mr. Adams of
Atlanta, preached a strong sermon last
night at the Duffy Street Baptist
Church. "As when man desires earth
ly fame he seeks diligently for it, so in
order to become a Christian a man
must seek diligently the Lord,” said
the SDeaker.
Three things, he held, were neces
sary. First, the sinner must take
Christ as the way, for He is the only
mediator between the sinner and his
God. Secondly, he must take the Holy
Spirit as a helper, for it is this which
changes the sinner’s heart and desires,
and human efforts, through prayer and
desire, must be put forth by the sinner.
Thirdly, he must take the Bible as his
guide.
The speaker urged that the time to
seek the Lord was during revival serv
ices when the Holy Spirit was pleading
with the sinner. To reject these plead
ings, said Rev. Mr. Adams, was like
dashing from the parched lips the cup
of free salvation. At the close of the
service a number of young men went
forward for prayer.
The revival services at the church
will be continued through the week,
services being held at 4 and 8:30 p. m.
The singing is made one of the features
of the service.
NIGHT SERVICES AT ST. PAUL’S
Services will be held during Holy
week every night, except Saturday, at
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Barnard
and Duffy streets, commencing at 8:15
o’clock. There will be an address by
the rector, Rev. Mr. Ottmann, and, as
has been the custom in this parish for
years, "The Story of the Cross” will
be sung at the close of each service.
These services are held for the benefit
of those unable to attend the other
Holy week services held during the
day.

FROST IS PREDICTED
FOR SAVANNAH TO”DAY.
Failure to Materialise Monday Not
Discouraging to (HRclal*.
“Fair to-night with lower tempera
tures and light frost. Tuesday fair.”
This was the prediction issued yes
terday morning from the weather bu
reau, and a slowly falling thermometer
last pointed toward a verification.
The failure to bring on the frost did
not discourage the weather man, and
a second effort was made. At 8 o'clock
in the morning mercury stood at the
62 degree mark.
From that point it rose slowly until
5 o’clock in the afternoon, when the
maximum for the day, 60 degrees, was
reached. Then it began slowly falling
and at 8 o’clock had reached 65 de
grees and by midnight had slipped
down to 52, and was still falling.
Temperatures were low over the en
tire South yesterday. At 8 o’clock last
night Atlanta reported 44 degrees, Au
gusta 52, Charleston 54, and Asheville
34. Yesterday morning Augusta re
ported 36 degrees and Atlanta only 34.
DR. JOHN’S LECTURE
WILL TAKE PLACE.
Lecturer Ha* Arrived ami Will Be
Heard To-night.
The lecture by John P. D. John will
take place, as originally advertised,
to-night at the Lawton Memorial.
Confusion in regard to the date arose
over a memorandum sent last Satur
day to the manager of the Savannah
lecture course by the Southe: n Ly
ceum Bureau, which provides the at
traction.
Dr. John was booked to lecture here
March 29, but the memorandum, to the
surprise of the local committee, as
signed April 29 as the date. In re
sponse to a telegram the Southern
Bureau confirmed April 29 as the date.
In view of this nothing was left the
local management to do but call off
the engagement for to-night and
notify the public.
Last night, however, a telegram
was received from Dr. John, saying he
would arrive from Florida during the
evening. He is now at his hotel and
will be on hand at 8:30 o’clock to
night. No blame attaches to those in
charge at this end of the line, nor to
Dr. John.
The subject of Dr. John’s lecture
will be “The Worth of a Man.”, He
has made a reputation throughout the
Middle and Far West on this lecture'
and he comes to the South highly rec
ommended.
Civil Service Examination*.
At the last Civil Service Commission
examination to secure railway mail

examination will be held April 19-20 to
secure an architectural and structural
draftsman in the quartermaster’s de
partment at large, and May 4 an ex
amination will be held to secure an as
sistant electnotyper in the Coast and
Geodetic Survey.
Those Dollar a Month Lots
advertised Sunday, forty of them sold
Monday, of these twenty-six for cash
to dealers in real estate, w'ho don’t
buy except mighty good things. Do
you comprehend? The truth is they
are the cheapest things ever put on
the market in Savannah, i They lie be
tween Wheaton and Gwinnett streets
and between Harmon and Ott. Not
one person I have carried to the lots
has failed to buy. Ten dollars cash,
and a dollar a month Is all you need.
