CITY NOW CLAIMS
FULL OWNERSHIP
TAX EXECUTION MUDDLE.
SEVERAL PIECES OP PROPERTY
ROK.IIT IX BV CITYS
It In Claimed That the City Par
rlinscd Lnnd Xnvr Occupied by
Eagle Manufacturing Company.
Alderman Glatigny la Intcrcatcd
in Cmfiipnny ami It Wan I pon HU
Aaaertlou an to I-an Method* In
Manila)'* Office That Investiga
tionn Hegnii.
There were two rather startling de
velopments yesterday in the tax exe
cution crusade that has been started
by the Mayor.
The amount of the executions will
unoollected is far in excess, it now
seems, of what was originally sup
posed to be the case.
It has also developed that the crus
ade grew out of a kick made by Al
derman Glatigny in regard to the taxes
for the Eagle Manufacturing Company,
in which he is largely interested.
It is oontended that the prop
erty of the Eagle Manufacturing
Company has been twice sold at public
outcry and that both limes it was bid
in by the city.
The property, according to some of
the city officials, therefore, belongs to
the city and not to Alderman Glatigny
and his associates who precipitated the
tax execution investigation. Alderman
Glatigny was asked about the matter
last night, but declined to discuss the
question. The president of his com
pany was out of the city, he said, and
he did not feel free to talk about the
matter. He said, however, that his
company owns the land that it is oc
cupying.
How Investigation Honan.
In the last caucus of' Council the
matter of the Eagle Manufacturing
Company came up. Alderman Glatig
ny as an interested party and not as
an alderman, stated that he did not
know the land of the company was
within the city limits until recently.
He said the company had received
no benefits from the city. He also said
that an execution had been laying for
three years in a pigeon hole in the
city marshal’s office.
It was with this last statement that
Alderman Glatigny put the city's ma
chinery in motion. An execution had
been issued some time ago. but the
marshal had not gone to sleep over the
matter. Indede, he had advertised
the property, sold it, and bid it in in
the name of the city.
Legal Ruestioa Involved.
There is a legal question involved,
which will doubtless be submitted to
the city attorney. When the property
was bought by the city no deed was
made. In this and several hundred
similar cases the city has bought the
property, but no deeds have been made.
Fo several weeks the city attorney
will probably be kept busy deciding
these questions, they arise in
dividually.
It is estimated that there is at least
$40,000 due on executions still uncol
lected. The amount will probably run
considerably above this sum. On this
year's taxes alone, there is about $25,-
000 still due.
PYTHIAN MEMORIAL
DAY COMMITTEE.
Final Meeting Held Last Night to
Consider Programme.
Final arrangements for Pythian Me
morial Day exercises were reviewed
last night ait a meeting of the Com
mittee on Ari*angements, of which Mr.
.W. J. Mlscally, Jr., is chairman.
At the meeting, which was attended
by Grand Marshal J. N. Davis, and
by the marshals from the subordinate
lodges, the arrangements heretofore
announced for to-morrow were dis
cussed. No material change was made.
It was stated by Chairman Misc'al
ly that the monument was already up
and that to-day he would superintend
the erection of a platform for the
speaker and the participants in the
exercises. The Knights will have a
place around the triangular plot. Be
yond them the crowd will be accommo
dated.
From present indications, there will
be perhaps 1,000 Knights in line for
the parade. Judge George T. Oann
will be the orator of the occasion.
The escort, will start at 5 o’clock to
morrow afternoon from Pythian Cas
tle, and the exercises will begin at
Laurel Grove Cemetery, at 'about 6
o’clock. The monument will be unveil
ed by three young ladies during the
address of Judge Cann.
BIG GAINS SHOWN
IN BANK CLEARINGS.
Week Jnet Cloned 8357.2N5.26 Aheaa
of Same Period Last Year.
Savannah's bank clearings for the
week ending yesterday show an in
crease of nearly >400,000 over the clear
ings for the corresponding time last
season, in exact figures, >387,285.26.
This increase is due, it is explained,
not only to a general increase in bus
iness, especially in the cotton trade,
but also to the fact that since the fail
ure of the Plant banks in Macon many
of the country banks that formerly
were depositors In Macon have row
made business arrangements with the
Savannah banks. This business, it is
believed, will be permanent, with the
result that Savannah will show a con
tinued Increase this year for each week
as compared with the same period of
time last year.
Masonic Plan* Ready.
There will be a meeting of the
Masons next week to consider the plans
for the Masonic Home, which have
been prepared by Architect Whit
cover.
The plans are 'all ready, with the ex
ception of some details which have
not yet been submitted to tho
Masons.

SPECIAL CHARGE ON
GEORGIA GAME LAW.
Ami W. J. Watson In Foreman ot
(•rand Jury, Too.
The grand jury for the June term
of the Superior Court assembled for
the first time yesterday afternoon and
listened to the charge of the court.
Mr. Wales J. Watson was elected fore
man.
Judge Cann touched on no matters
of local interest In his charge, con
fining himself to those points of law
which the statutes required him to
charge. The sections of the code re
garding the pension lists and the
budget of the County Commissioners
were omitted, these matters having
been disposed of by the last grand
jury.
One of the points of interest which
furnished no little quiet amusement
for those in the court room at the
time the charge was delivered was the
presenting by the court of the sec
tions relating to the killing of game
in the close season. Before begin
ning this part of the charge Judge
Cann announced that he had been es
pecially requested to charge the jury
in this regard, in addition to being
required so to do by law.
This remark of the court attracted
attention to Foreman Watson, he hav
ing pleaded guilty a few months ago
to serving game out of season. He
was fined $lO by Judge Norwood. The
closest attention was paid to
this part of the charge by every one
of the jurors. Just what action is
contemplated, as indicated by the
''special request,” is not known.
The remainder of the charge was
taken up with instructions regarding
the treatment of all criminal matters
that might be presented to them or
on which they desired to act of their
own knowledge, the examination of the
public schools, the Inspection of roads
and bridges, the inspection of condi
tions in the county jail, and the ex
amination of the books of the magis
trates, ex-officio justices, clerks of the
courts, etc. The code was followed
closely throughout.
TO INCREASE SALARIES
OF CHATHAM JUDGES.
Hill A.klna Salary of s.l,(Hil) to Cotue
Before Legislature.
A bill asking that the salary of the
judge of the Superior Court and the
City Court of Chatham county be in
creased to $5,000 a year will be Intro
duced in the next Legislature.
The formal petition to the Legisla
ture has been drawn up and in addi
tion a petition indorsing the project is
being circulated among the members
of the bar. The movement Is being
enthusiastically received and the peti
tion signed readily by all to whom It
has been presented.
At present the judge of the Superior
Court receives $2,000 a year, and the
Judge of the City Court, $3,000. The
additional money to make up the $5,-
000 salary is to be taken from the
treasury of Chatham county. As this
means that the Increase will mean no
additional burden to the state, there
is every probability that the petition
will be granted. The unanimity of the
Chatham bar in favor of the increase
will be bound to have great weight
with the legislators.
All the Superior Court judges in
Georgia receive the same- salary. It
is probable that the action of Chatham
county will induce other counties to
increase salaries as it is generally ad
mitted that the present salaries are
too small. They were fixed in recon
struction days when the treasury of
the state was practically depleted of
all funds.
It is designed to make the law be
come operative on Jan. 1, the begin
ning of the new term of the present
Judges.
WEEDS IN CANAL
HAVE BEEN CLEANED OUT.
The County Has Its Work Well in
Hand Now.
The drainage canal through Cuyler
swamp has been put In splendid shape,
the channel has been cleared of the
spring growth of weeds, and the banks
shaped up.
Heretofore it has been customary to
do this work in April, but Commission
er A. B. Moore, chairman of the Drain
age Committee, noticed that to do It
at that time simply cultivated the
weeds and insured a heavy growth, so
this year he put oft the work until
June, with good results.
Fifty acres of the rice land of the
County Farm was put in oats this year
and was harvested last week. Supt.
Chaplin says it is the best crop of oats
ever grown in this county.
He has fifty acres in cotton, but the
plant is suffering from the drought.
These crops are cultivated by the wom
en and boy convicts that cannot be
used in drainage and road building.
COUNTY TIAS'DONE
ITS FULL SHARE.
Waiting on Electric Company to
Run .Tracka to Garbage Dump.
The new railway to the dump on the
County Farm is completed except the
laying of crossties and rails for the
last 1,000 feet, which work is waiting
on the Savannah Electric Company.
The new dump for the city's garbage
is nearly a mile south of Pritchard's
station, where the present dump is lo
cated in the large fields where the
garbage will be utilized.
The County Commissioners have
pushed their part of the work of pro
viding a place for the garbage away
from any point where It would be of
fensive to the public. The non-sign
ing of the contract referred to In the
Morning News of yesterday, does not
effect the matter in any way whatever;
the referring of that paper to the coun
ty attorney being only a necessary
precaution incident to all legal proceed
ings.

BY GOD’S HAND
CURE EFFECTED
WITH BOLT OF LIGHTNING
MRS. W. T. LEOPOLD'S SUFFERING
FROM RHEUMATISM CEASED.
Blinding Flash That Carried Away 1
Chimney of Her Home at No. 310
W.il.lliiirg Street, Eaat, Gave Mrs.
Leopold Inatant Relief-—Waa Sit
ting In Family Room With Two
Children When Eleetrle Current
Went Tingling Through Her
Roily.
By the same bolt of lightning that
demolished a chimney on her home
during the severe electric storm early
yesterday afternoon, Mrs. William T.
Leopold of No. 319 Waldburg street,
east, was relieved of inflammatory rheu
matism, with which she has been a suf
ferer several years.
It was while Mrs. Leopold was seat
ed in the family room with two chil
dren that the cure came, and so quick
ly that she was well before she real
ized what had happened. The lightning
tingled through her system and in a
moment she felt well.
The bolt which wrought the miracu
lous work came down the chimney,
knocking several bricks oft as it intro
duced itself into the narrow funnel.
After it was all over the family re
member to have seen a bluish flame in
the fireplace, which knocked the grate
around and played havoc with the fix
tures generally.
Almost Chronic Invalid.
For several years Mrs. Leopold has
been troubled with inflammatory rheu
matism, and had almost become an in
valid from the disease. At times the
pain was great and she searched
eagerly for a remedy, but only found
temporary relief. Apparently her af
fletion was too insidious for the skill
of the practitioner and only a day or
two ago she was advised by her phy
sician to visit some resort.
All day yesterday Mrs. Leopolpd suf
fered from her malady and it seemed as
if the pain had concentrated on one
side around her left shoulder. As she
nursed the pain she prayed for relief.
At the very moment of her cure,
when the pain seemed intense, a tongue
of fire played about the fireplace and
the electricity emanating from it leap
ed the intervening space.
Though the pain apparently ceased,
Mrs. Leopold attributed it to the ex
citement from the unusual experience
she h*ad just gone through, and when
she grew more calm and the pain still
did not appear she concluded that her
nerves must have been benumbed by
the lightning.
After testing the shoulder and find
ing that there was feeling there,
she was forced to the con
clusion that in some mysterious
nfanner a cure had been wrought.
The news was communicated to
the children and the family held a
small thanksgiving service over the
good fortune of the mother.
An hour or two after the event,
Mrs. Leopold was seen by a represen
tative of the Morning News. Her face
was wreathed in smiles and she will
ingly told of the cure.
DtHcrlha* Her Experience.
‘‘l hardly know how it happened,”
she said. “The lightning came down
the chimney and as we were all tingling
with the electricity, I heard the crash
of falling bricks and a heavier sound,
which I'suppose was the riving of a
telegraph post, which my little boy
later saw had been split open.
"The rheumatism was in my left
shoulder and the pain was throbbing
Just a moment before the flash. In an
instant the pain was gone and though I
thought that the relief was temporary
I was most thankful to find that It did
not return. It seems too good to be
true, and I only fear that the rheuma
tism may return to-morrow.
“I don’t know how the cure was
brought about. I felt the shock of the
electricity and for the instant feared.
Before I had time to take a second
thought, it was all over, and the pain
was gone too.”
ESTATE TO COMPLETE
CONTRACTOR’S WORK.
Will Finish Stables Which Cost Him
His Lite.
The estate of the late M. M. Fergu
son will complete the work on which
he wjbs engaged when he was fatally
Injured. Mr. Ferguson was busy su
perintending the details of the work
when he fell.
Asa result of the injuries received
In (he fall he died a few days later.
The work on which he was engaged
was the building of the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing Company stables, at
Bryan and Lincoln streets.
The application to continue the work
was made to Judge McAlpin in the
Court of Ordinary yesterday by the ad
ministrator of the estate. The appli
cation states that unless the contract
with the brewing company is com
pleted that irreparable injury will ac
crue to the estate. The application of
the administrator was granted by
Judge McAlpin and work will proceed
on the stables at once.
Life.
The poet's exclamation: "O Life! I
feel thee bounding in my veins,” is a
joyous one. Persons that can rarely or
never make it, in honesty to them
selves, are among the most unfortu
nate. They do not live, but exist; for
to live Implies more than to be. To live
is to be well and strong—to arise feel
ing: equal to the ordinary duties of the
day, and to retire not overcome by
them—to feel life bounding in the
veins. A medicine that has made
thousands of people, men and women,
well and strong, has accomplished a
great work, bestowing the richest
blessings, and that medicine Is Hood's
Sarsaparilla. The weak, run-down, or
debilitated, from any cause, should not
fail to take it. It builds up the whole
system, changes existence into life, and
makes life more abounding. We are
glad to say these words In its favor
to the readers of our columns.—ad.

POLICE PROTECTION
FOR SOUTH SIDE.
Three New Men Appointed and Two
Men Will Be Mounted.
With the appointment yesterday of
three new members of the police force
it was given out at police headquar
ters that the South Side will have more
police protection.
It has been arranged by the superin
tendent of police to mount two more
men for duty south of Anderson street,
thus increasing the mounted force.
For quite awhile the South Side has
been asking for an increase in the
number of uniformed men on duty in
that section.
There has been no additional appro
priation for the extra men, but it has
been found by the superintendent that
he can carry two men with the money
that was paid for a lieutenant of po
lice. It will be remembered that this
office was abolished by Council some
time ago.
The new men are Allen M. Broome,
formerly a member of the force, W.
E. Remley, and Dan Sullivan.
HEAVY FALL OF RAIN
DURING TWO SHOWERS.
Lightning Cut Off Two Cirrnlta ol
Gninewell System.
In two showers yesterday Savannah
experienced the heaviest rainfall that
has occurred in months.
The showers were accompanied by
vivid flashes of lightning and heavy
thunder, and at times the rain appear
ed to be falling in sheets.
The rain began shortly after 3 o'clock,
continuing for more than an hour, when
the skies cleared. At 5 o’clock it began
again, this shower lasting until nearly
6 o’clock. The total rainfall in the
two showers was 1.30 inches.
The lightning cut off two circuits of
the police Gamewell system and Injur
ed the electric wires for the lighting
of many private homes. The telephone
were also out of working order
for a time in some sections of the city.
The damage done was light, however.
In temperature the day exactly equal
ed the normal day. The highest point
reached by mercury was 89 degrees, the
record at noon. The lowest point was
67 degrees, recorded at 3 o'clock, just
before the rain began falling. This
made the average temperature for the
day 78 degrees.
FELL FROM STEAMER
BUT SWAM ASHORE.
Eddie Hopkins Struck Out for Marsh
When He Hit Water.
But for the fact that he is an ex
pert swimmer, Eddie Hopkins, a young
boy, would have been drowned near
Wilmington Island yesterday.
He fell from the steamer Louise
which had carried the Isle of Hope
Sunday-school p.cnic to Warsaw. Young
Hopkins swam to the marsh and a
small boat was sent for him. The
Louise was on the trip to Isle of
Hope when the accident occurred.
A large crowd made the trip to
Warsaw on the Louise, and a pleasant
day was spent. The steamer stuck in
the mud going down and was delay
ed about an hour, but the picnic party
enjoyed itself.

HOW TO GET RICH.
Lesson S. Chapter 1.
In the last chapter was told what
women had done in real estate, but all
was not told. On Thirty blank street
there are two nice houses. They are
the property of a wife of a citizen who
is fairly well-to-do in life, but he didn't
give them to her, or build them for her.
They represent her savings. When he
married, he, like all sensible husbands
should, gave his wife a weekly allow
ance for the house and her personal
expenses, and of course all she could
save was her’s “for keeps.” He isn’t
one of those fellows who makes his
wife feel mean by having to beg for
every quarter she receives from him,
and who often goes for days without a
cent of change because she is too proud
to ask for what should be her's with
out the asking. The last mentioned
facts are given parenthetically so to
better understand the subject. Doubt
less all this will be Incomprehensible
to those fellows who are reasonably
Just and liberal to everybody, except
their wives.
However, to resume the story: The
wife in question bought one lot and
paid part in cash and the balance in
monthly installments. Then she
thought she would like to own the ad
joining lot and she bought that the
same way. In due time she had the
lots paid for: it then occurred to her
that It was ridiculous. If not lunatic,
to pay taxes for the sake of owning
two vacant lots. So she plunged in
debt again and built two houses, and
then with her savings from her house
money and personal allowance, and the
rents coming in from tenants, it was
not a great while before the lots and
houses were free from debt. How is
that for a wife who is still in the bloom
o£ youth?
To work out this problem it is first
neceesary to have a husband who is a
lover and partner, but if she
did not draw that kind of
a husband in the matrimonial
lottery, then the wife will hav%
to try to change the “affliction” and
make him something better than he is
by nature! Try to stop the money
that goes into all sorts of useless
things, including those incident to bad
habits, and get control of some of
the husband's earnings. Of course
It is not proposed to give a recipe for
changing some bipeds in pants into
good husbands, but it is possible to
improve them and a smart woman
may manage so that in course of time
she will be able to buy a lot on Thirty
ninth street, east, %vith money that is
now going to waste like the water of a
mill race. If these lots don’t please
you, get one on another street. If,
good wife, you can’t get that lot, do
try to get your husband to give you a
weekly allowance, to cover house and
personal expenses. Your life and his
will be happier, and he and you will be
richer In the end. If not in money at
least In the better things that make
up our lives.—ad.

ORDER OF MAYOR
BLOCKED LANE
FRAME HOUSE THE BARRIER.
WAS BEING MOVED WHEN DEPUTY
MARSHAL STOPPED WORK.
House Halt Been Purchased by John
Funk and Was In Act of nelng
Transferred From Lot In Perry
Lane, East of Jefferson Street, to
Lot West of Same Street—Olty Had
Given Permission for the Removal
of the Honse, lint Kick Followed
Later.
By order of Mayor Myers, Perry lane,
just east of Jefferson street, was ef
fectively blocked shortly before.- 2
o’clock yesterday afternoon.
A one-story frame house is the bar
rier and until the city takes some fur
ther action it will remain, where it
is. It is probable, however, that some
thing will be done to-day to relieve
the situation.
The house was on a lot in the lane
about thirty feet east of Jefferson
street, and was purchased by John
Funk. Mr. Funk desired to move It
to a lot in the lane, about sixty feet
west of Jefferson street, and obtained
the consent of the city to make the
transfer.
Upon the recommendation of the
building inspector, approved by the
Mayor, the necessary permit was is
sued by the Board of Tax Assessors
and the work of rolling the house nine
ty feet down the lane was begun yes
terday morning. Then someone in the
immediate vicinity who owns property,
and carries insurance, got busy.
A visit was paid to Mayor Myers
in his office at police headquarters and
he was told how wrong it was for
the city to violate its agreement with
the Southeastern Tariff Association
and permit a frame structure, no mat
ter how small, to go up in the brick
district. The property owner assured
the Mayor that he would have to pay
more insurance if the shack was put
in the rear of his property.
Then the Mayor realized that it
wasn't just the thing to do, and he
promised to correct any mistake that
the city may have made. He lost
no time in writing a letter to the city
marshal to stop the moving of the
house.
Deputy Stopped the Work.
Marshal Dreeson was not in his of
fice, but the communication from the
Mayor was urgent and Deputy Hussey
got busy. He went to Perry lane as
rapidly as possible, and in the presence
of Alderman Glatigny, a member of
the Committee on Opening Streets and
City Lots, ordered the work stopped.
Of course the mandate of the city
was obeyed, and the house was left
standing in the middle of the lane.
There It remained all the afternoon and
during the night. As matters now
stand, Mr. Funk has an elephant on
his hands, and the city has a blocked
thoroughfare. Pedestrians can manage
to walk around the house, but vehicles
will have to go the other way.
INDICTMENTS BY GRAND JURY.
Two Returned for Assault With In
tent to Murder.
At the first session yesterday after
noon the Superior Court grand jury
for the June term returned several true
bills. Two were for assault with in
tent to murder.
State against William Price, assault
with intent to murder. The weapon
used in this case was an ordinary
pocketknife, with which the defendant
badly cut Cornelius Ross about the
head and face. Price still had the
knife in his hand when arrested.
State against Robert Anderson, as
sault with Intent to murder. The al
leged assault was committed on David
Drayton on May 30, a revolver being
the weapon used.
State against George Small, larceny
after trust. It is alleged that Small
was given a pair of shoes by John W.
Phillips to pawn, the proceeds to be
returned to him, and that Small re
turned neither the shoes nor the
money received for them from the
pawnbroker.

SUBWAY CONTRACT HAS
NOW BEEN SIGNED.
s
Uut Verbal Agreement With City
Again Delays Matters.
The contract for the Gwinnett street
subway was returned to the city yes
terday shortly before noon, the At
lantic Coast Line having signed it.
The city and the Savannah Electric
Company had already signed the con
tract, and the signature of the Cdast
Line officials completes the agreement.
The subway is not to be started un
til about Sept. 1. There was a secret
verbal understanding between the city
officials and the street flail way people
in regard to this, as there was on the
Gwinnett street tracks between Hab
ersham and Abercorn, which are now
tied up in the courts.
It was generally supposed that the
Coast Line w*as delaying masters by
taking several days to sign the con
tract, but such was not the case. If
the Coast Line had not signed until
the middle of next August there would
have been no further delay. The heavy
traffic of the street railwhy for the
Casino and the amusement park and
the baseball, is the excuse given by
the city officials for delaying the mat
ter.
TRIED THIRTY CASES~
IN ONLY FOUR HOURS.
Variety of Coses Before Judge Nor
wood in City Court.
The mills of justice ground rapidly
in the City Court yesterday. A total
of thirty cases were disposed of by
Judge Norwood in four hours, an av
erage of eight minutes to each case.
There was a big variety of cases,
though the majority of them were for
offenses of minor importance. The
following is the record of the nineteen
convictions, together with the sentences
imposed:
Steve Williams, carrying concealed
weapons, $25 or twelve months.
Felix Frazier, larceny from house,
S4O or twelce months; Robert Haywood,
larceny from house. S3O or twelve
months; Mahalie Johnson and Daisy
Lloyd, two charges of larceny from
house. S3O or twelve months each on
each charge; Daisy Lloyd, larceny from
house, S3O or twelve months; and Har
ry LaGwynn, larceny from house, S3O
or nine months.
For vagrancy Mary Johnson goes to
the gang for twelve months, Roseanna
Nelson for the same period, and Nellie
Wright also works for the county for
twelve months.
For gambling Ben Russeli will pay
a fine of $25 or go to the gang for six
months. Mack Lawrence, indicted on
a similar charge, received a similar
sentence.
For stabbing not in their own defense
William Foster choose between a fine
of S4O or twelve months on the gang;
Sarah Low must pay SSO or go to the
gang for one year; and Paul Edney
must hand the clerk SSO or work for
twelve months for the county.
Ben Blakewood, charged with assault
and battery, was sentenced to pay a
fine of sls or spend six months on the
gang. M. M. Brown, for carrying con
cealed weapons, must pay a fine of S2O
or work for the county six months.
Henry Ash, a colored boy of about
twelve years, was sentenced to pay a
fine of $lO or work six months on the
gang, for stealing a ride on a railroad
train.
Eight defendants were discharged.
Lizzie Stephens and Frank Davis, sen
tenced about one year ago for va
grancy and cheating and swindling to
a year on the gang, had their sentences
reduced by the court. The fine of Lar
ry Prilly, originally sentenced to pay
S4O for larceny from house, was re
duced by the court to S2O.
This completed the record for the
day. Acting Solicitor General E. H.
Abrahams appeared for the state.
