Chairman of the Ffnnnee Commit
tee. Made Out the Voucher* lor
the Money.
Contractor S. S. Leonard did not get
the money that Council Wednesday
night voted to refund to him.
It was yesterday morning returned
to the men who had backed Leonard in
his effort to build the new City Hall.
Alderman J. H. McKenna received
■the $6,000 he had put up, and Mr.
Lawrence McNeill the $2,500 with
which he was backing Leonard.
The wording of the resolution that
Council passed to give the money back
was peculiar and at once suggested
the idea that backets, and
not the contractor himself, would get
the money.
The resolution provided that the
money he paid to Leonard or his writ
ten order. This last appeared super
fluous, but at once suggested the idea
that the money was being returned to
Leonard's backers.
The receipt from Leonard and his
written order to pay the money to Al
derman McKenna and Mr. McNeil
were presented to Alderman Dixon,
chairman of the Finance Committee,
who had been empowered to pay out
the money for the city. Alderman Dix
on made out the vouchers on the city
treasurer and turned them over to the
parties interested.
Alderman McKenna and Attorney
Robert L. Coldirig called at the office
of Acting Mayor Dixon at 12:30 o'clock
End got the voucher for the $5,000 that
Alderman McKenna had put up. Al
derman Dixon sent word to Mr. Mc-
Neill that the voucher for his portion
of the money was ready and later in
the day it was turned over to him.
The paying of the money to the men
who let Leonard have it, instead of to
him. occasioned no comment, although
the money was deposited with the city
in leopard's name. It was generally
supposed that the money had been put
up by others.
DO NOT FAVOR FUTURE RING.
rromlnfnt nirfi’tor* of f'-otton Ex
rhnnße AKBtnn( It.
The directors of the Cotton Exchange
are not favorably inclined to a future
ring.
"Such a scheme was tried in 1871,”
said Capt. John Flannery, of the board
of directors, "and was not found feasi
ble. X have not heard of the present
scheme, but if such a petition is in cir
culation it will not be presented before
May, and I do not see any chance of
its being adopted."
Gen. W. W. Gordon said: "The only
intimation I have of such a proposi
tion is a rumor, and I don't think it is
practicable.”
Mr. Wright Hunter, another of the
board of directors of the Cotton Ex
change, said: "I did not sign it, that’s
all I have to say.”
The petition asking for the privilege
of speculating on futures on the ex
change tioor was circulated on the Cot
ton Exchange, and was laid upon Supt.
Gaudry's desk last night.
GRAYSON ANIToUVER
WANTED TO GIVE MORE.
Favorrd a burger Appropriation for
Colllnn* Medical Illlle.
Although Alderman Grayson, the
chairman of the Police Committee, op
posed the report that his committee
presented to Council Wednesday night
in regard to the physician’s bill of Pa
trolman Collins, who was shot in the
Mayor's office, it was not because he
opposed making the donation.
He really favored a larger donation,
and his opposition was based on the
belief that the city was not giving
enough. The same was true of Al
derman Oliver. Both of these aldermen
fought hard in caucus to get S2OO pass
ed for the bills, instead of the $l3O that
was given.

There is no apparent reason now
why the matter should not be wound

Alderman James M. Dixon, who was
acting Mayor yesterday in the absence
of Mayor Myers, who was In Macon,
was kept busy for more than an hour
signing bills.
The schedule was one of the largest

Mayor did nothing but sign his name.
Besides the signing of the bills, there
was little business for the acting May

WANTED TO GIVE
HIS MONEY AWAY.
Drnnkru Man Relieved lie Wa* Go
ing to Be Hanged.
Trying his best to give 'away a large
roll of money, because he thought he
was going to be hanged, William Bird,
of Stillmore. while crazy drunk, fur
nished amusement for a crowd of about
fifty in the Pulaski House lobby last
night, until officers could arrive and
take him in charge.
He was carried to the police station
and locked up. still protesting that he
was going to be hanged and that
money could do him no good. Just
what he was to be hanged for. he did
not very clearly explain. The hang
ing was about to come off at Milieu,
he said, so he came on to Savannah.
Bird created quite a sensation by his
appearance at the hotel.
"Here, take this money,” he said to
first one in’.u) and then another. "They
are going to hang me, and it won’t do
me any good.”
No one took the money and he then
tried to give it to the hotel clerk.
Meanwhile quite a crowd collected and
a telephone message was sent to po
lice headquarters, stating that a ci’azy
man was in the Pulaski House. Pa
trolmen Meldrim and Cohen hurried to
the scene in the patrol wagon and took
Bird in charge.
He was at once recognized by the of
ficers as a regular customer at the po
lice station almost every time he comes
to Savannah. He has been arrested
several times before, twice for using
his pistol while intoxicated. The last
two or three times he has been ar
rested, no pistol has been found on
him.
While the officers were searching him,
he talked continually about being
hanged. When the money was taken
from him, he said: "That's right. I
tried to get that man at the hotel to
take it. It won't do me no good. Still,
it would go to my heirs, only I haven't
got any.”
Bird appeared to have been drinking
for some time.
FREAKISH CArTiD
SEVERAL QUEER STUNTS.
Tried to Run Tlironuh Fence. t nnght
on Fire and Slipped Trolley.
Car No. 1, returning from the Bolton
Street Ball Park yesterday Afternoon,
did all kinds of queer things. No. 13
could not have had more mishaps
in the same space of time.
As the car started from the ball
park, the trolley wheel slipped off the
wire. That was merely an incident,
however. While the trolley wlas being
put back on, a fuse in the rear of the
car blew cut. After this performance,
a start was made and the car went
at more than ordinary speed, until the
Bolton street power house was reach
ed.
There it took the curve, instead of
staying on the main track, and made
for the power house. The gates across
the tracks were closed and it looked
like the car was going to break
through. People screamed and a num
ber of them jumped from the cqr. The
motorrrf.in managed to bring the car
to a halt just before reaching the
gates. One lady could not be persuad
ed to get back on the car, however,
she had been so badly frightened.
The car was backed on the main
track and again started for the city.
Within a short distance, it was dis
covered that the storm curtain on
the rear of the car, which was close
ly rolled up. had been set on fire when
the fuse blew out. It was slowly burn
ing, not having burst into flames. Af
ter the fire was extinguished, the trip
down town was m'ade without inci
dent.
NEGRO STOLE COW
FROM DALE ESTATE.
Warn Arremted nnd the Cow Hnm Been
Recovered.
Charged with stealing a cow from
the Dale estate. Henry Johnson, a ne
gro, was arrested yesterday afternoon
by Detective J. J. Murphy.
The cow was stolen last Thursday
from the country place of the late J.
J. Dale and sold Friday to Mrs. J. M.
Mock, at Thirty-third and Lincoln
streets. The cow was recovered. Mrs.
Mock, who had bought it in good faith,
readily consented to give it up. She
is out just S3O by the transaction, that
being the price she paid for the cow.
It is probable, however, that Mrs.
Mock will recover the money. When
the negro tried to sell her the cow, she
refused to buy it unless he would bring
some white man with him to prove
that the cow belonged to him. This
Johnson did and the white man will
probably have to refund her the money
she paid.
The cow is a fine one, worth much
more than what the negro sold her
for. Johnson will be given a hearing
before the Recorder, either to-day or
Saturday.

Were Near Hell'* Gate,
Only 300 yards from land, but unable
to swim. Dr. T. A. Mullryne was
drowned in the “Big Ogeechee” river
yesterday morning.
His companion, Thomas Bedgood,
managed to cling to the boat in which
the men had been sailing, and paddle
to shore, although he had a narrow es
cape.
A half mile below Hell's Gate the
boat in which the two men were sail
ing was struck by a squall and cap
sized. Dr. Mullryne disappeared
from view almost immediately and
Bedgood could not have saved his
companion even if he had seen him aft
er the boat capsized.
Were Going to o**aliaw.
Dr. Mullryne and Bedgood left Cof
fee Bluff for Ossabaw on a fishing trip
before breakfast. The men saw the
squall bearing down on them and made
an effort to run ashore before it reach
ed them. As has been stated, they
were within 300 yards of land when the
squall struck them and the boat cap
sized.
Bedgood seized the side of the over
turned boat as soon as he struck the
water and put up a desperate fight for
life. The squall lashed the water into
a foam, and the almost exhausted man
was thrown violently against the boat
a number of times. He clung with
bulldog tenacity to the craft and pad
dled hard for shore. When he finally
reached shallow water he was all but
exhausted.
Rudy Wan Nut Fntinil.
Every effort was made by Bedgood
to find the body of his companion, but
without success. He returned to his
home at Coffee Bluff, and reported the
tragedy. A searching party will go
out this morning and a watch will be
kept for the body of the physician.
Dr. Mullryne was well known in Sa
vannah, where he conducted a drug
business up to two or three years ago.
He lived at Coffee Bluff, where he
practiced medicine, with his wife and
five children. Several of Dr. Mull
ryne's friends in Savannah will go to
Coffee Bluff this morning and assist in
the search for the body.

OPPOSED TO CHANGE
IN MEMORIAL DAY.
Gen. MeGlnxlian Want* Date to Re
main Unchanged.
Gen. P. A. S. McGlashan, command
ing the Georgia Division, United Con
federate Veterans, is strongly opposed
to the suggested change in the date of
the Confederate Memorial Day.
"I am unalterably opposed to any
change being made and do not believe
that the majority of Georgia veterans
and kindred associations want any,”
said Gen McGlashan yesterday. "Onte
of the chief reasons against a change
is that it would probably mean the
abandonment of the day.
“Every one in Georgia has been ac
customed to look upon April 26 as Me
morial Day. If a change should be
made none would feel just right in not
celebrating April 26 as Memorial Day,
and with the loss of April 26, a sense
of having lost the day and its signifi
cance would be felt. Gradually, but
none the less surely, the observance of
the day would become less and less
general, until at last it would cease to
be observed.
' Furthermore, April 26 is an almost
ideal day for the purpose. There is a
profusion of flowers for the decoration
of the graves. It is a time of year
when the weather Is not -too warm for
the veterans, the majority of whom
have now reached an age when they
could not endure a long march in the
June heat.
“Again Memorial Day is a day set
apart for honoring the dead, a mourn
ing day for the loss of thousands of
brave men. It should be kept separate
and distinct, a day set aside for pay
ing tribute to the fallen heroes who
wore the gray.
‘‘As for honoring Davis, let us honor
him on his birthday in that way which
seems most appropriate. Let us have
Davis Day and honor the President of
tiie Confederacy on the anniversary of
his birth. But let that occasion be sep
adate and distinct from Memorial Day.
the day dedicated to the memory of
dead Confederate soldiers.”
FIRST EVIDENCE FOR
CITY IS INTRODUCED.
Assistant City Engineer Howard
Present* Several Map*.
At 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon,
Maj. J. Ferris Cann stated that the
plaintiff rested its case in the litigation
known as the Emmet Park case. Col.
Garrard at once began introducing evi
dence for the city, tending to prove
its ownership of the park.
Assistant City Engineer John W.
Howard was the first witness called
to the stand. He brought to the jury
several maps of the city and explained
them and their significance. Several
of the maps were very old.
The first real struggle between coun
sel began when Col. Garrard wished
to introduce as' evidence a map made
by Mr. Howard and Mr. Bell in 1600.
Mr. Richards, who is associated with
Maj. Cann in the case, at once inter
posed an objection, stating that the
late date at which the map w*as made,
made it improper evidence. Counsel
then began their argument.
Judge Seabrook stated when the ar
gument commenced and both counsel
began citing cases in support of their
views, that this was the first objection
of importance raised, and he hoped
the case would not be delayed by a
series of them. At the close of the
argument, the court overruled the ob
jection of Mr. Richards. Mr. Howard
Was still on the stand when court ad
journed for the day.
The early part of the day was taken
up by the plaintiffs in concluding their
case. Daniel O'Donovan stated that
he had known the place to be used for
sampling cotton and other similar pur
poses, but had never heard of it being
used as a park. John Robinson testi
fied that he had known the locality
since 1852, but never had heard of it
as a park until recently. The benches,
he said, were placed there recently.
Mr. J. R. Saussy testified to having
been familiar with the place since 1850.
He stated that it had become covered
with grass as had Abercorn street and
Oglethorpe avenue when they were
not in use for some time. He had never
heard of the place as a park until the
arrest of the men for driving through
it.
M. J. Donnally and George Lehwald
testified that they had been in the
drayage business for years, were ac
customed to drive through the section
in dispute, and were never molested.
Mr. Victor Schreck was called and
introduced several photographs which
he had taken of the place. When ask
ed by Maj. Cann if he remembered
having seen hitching posts in the park
he stated that he had, and that they
were plainly discernible in the photo
graphs. The photographs were then
passed to the jury
The trial of the case will be resumed
with the opening of court this morn

PUN IS NOW ON
TO CONOEMN
ALL THE SHELL PAVEMENTS.
JONES AND HENRY, AS WELL AS
HALL, TO BE EXAMINED.
Chairman Dnvnnt, of Straeta anil
Lane* Committee, a nd the Director
of Public Work* Held Conference
Yesterday and Condemnation
Plan Wa* Decided Upon—Matter
Will Be Brought Up at Next Meet
ing of Council—No More Shell
Street* for Savannah.
Not only the shell jfavement on Hall
street, but Jones and Henry streets as
well, are to be condemned and vitri
fied brick put down instead.
The matter will be taken up at once
and an investigation of the condition
of the pavements made, so that it may
be presented to Council at its next
regular meeting.
This was determined upon at a con
ference yesterday between Alderman
Davant, the chairman of the Streets
and Lanes Committee, and the director
of public works. It is estimated that
the paving of these three streets will
just about fake up the balance of this
year’s paving appropriation, which is
now left on hand.
Beginning of Crusade.
It is thought that the adoption of
the resulotion in regard to Hall street
Wednesday night by Council was the
beginning of a shell pavement crusade,
which will in time remove this mate
rial from every street in the city.
It has been found that the pavement
does not wear well, when subjected to
a great deal of traffic, as is the case
on city streets. The pavements are
not only worn out, but are very dusty.
Where steamed oyster shells are
used, they soon powder up, leaving
nothing but a fine dust. In many
places, where the pavements have only
recently been repaired, the streets are
in as bad condition as before.
Aldermen Seem a Unit.
Practically all of the aldermen agree
in regard to the shell pavements. It
is probable that all three of the streets
mentioned in the foregoing, will be
condemned at the next Council meet
ing without a single dissenting vote.
The director of public works and the
city engineer were instructed in the
Hall street resolution to examine the
pavement and report at the next meet
ing. Because of the conference yester
day, all three of the streets will be ex
amined and reported upon.
No more shell pavements will ever
be put down in Savannah, said an al
derman yesterday, who is especially in
terested in the present proceedings, and
those pavements that are all ready
down will be replaced with other ma
terial as rapidly as possible.

intense zeal and earnestness.
In Birmingham, he is known among
workingmen as the “working man's
friend,” and irfany of them'are devoted

FROM ANNUAL TRAMP
“BISMARK” HAS RETURNED.
River Character Walked from New
Orleans in Sixty-Five Day*.
A noted character along the river
front, Frank Niglas, who is better
known as “Bismark,” disappeared last
fail and it was thought he was dead
until his arrival in the city a few days
ago from New Orleans. The trip from
New Orleans was made by shank's
mare and it took "Bismark” sixty-five
days to cover the distance.
He is now at the Savannah Hospital,
where he will remain until he is rest
ed from his long journey. He was seen
by a representative of the Morning
News and stated that since he left Sa
vannah last September he has walked
to St. Louis, and thence to New Or
leans, where he spent a few weeks be
fore starting on his return trip to Sa
vannah.
“Bismark” is a unique character,
and is said to speak at least five lan
guages. 'Twenty-live years ago he
made his first appearance in this city,
and was for a number of years inter
ested in the brokerage business. For
over fifteen years the only work which
he has performed has been an occa
sional job as a watchman on some
vessel anchored in the harbor. He has
been makinti his annual tour to New
Orleans for several years.
For some years it was his custom
on his return trips to apply for ad
mision to St. Joseph's Hospital, and in
one way or another he would make it
convenient to remain ttujre for several
months. A physician, in speaking of
the man, said yesterday that when
ever the hospital physican gave orders
to the nurse to dismiss “Bismark” he
would complain of having an awful
fever. Before the nurse registered his
temperature "Bismark” would take a
mouthful of almost boiling water and
allow it to soak in his mouth for a
few minutes, and in this way would
run the temperature up several de
grees higher than it would have been.
The nurse would report to the physi
cian that "Bismark's” temperature
was several degrees above normal and
the physician would then rescind his
order and allow him to remain in the
hospital a few weeks longer. The phy
sician who told this story said that
“Bismark” kept it up for two years
before the physicians at the hospital
caught on to his game.
The man is said to be a descendant
of the royal family of Belgium. He is
now nearly 60 years old, but declares
that if he is living next fall he will
again make his annual trip to New
Orleans. When he is ready to go on
his annual tramps he never says good
bye to anyone, but simply disappears.
He visited all his friends on Bay street
when he reached Savannah and then
went to the hospital and asked for ad
mission.
