STORM SIGNALS
REST FEW HOURS
PULLED DOWN. BUT PUT BACK
HIGH WINDS EXPECTED, BCT NO
DANGER ANTICIPATED.
Rain That Ha< Been Canned by the
Disturbance Is a Blessing Itaelf.

“Northeast storm warning 9:30 p.
m. from Savannah to Fort Monro*'.
Gulf storm now Central over North
eastern Florida. May mote northeast,
near the coast, causing high northerly
winds. I'rankenfteld.”
The above message to local Fore
caster Boyer frorr. Washington last
night followed the falling of the ba
rometer in the afternoon, and the
storm flags that had been lowered sev
eral hours before were put back into
service.
The message from Washington came
in the nature of a surprise, it being
believed that the storm would miss
Savannah entirely, and that the sun
would make its appearance again to
day. The barometer fell twenty-sev
en hundredth of an Inch in the after
noon, but was stationary during the
night.
Even though Savannah should get
the blow it is not expected It will
amount to much. Until the storm
leaves this section, however, the
■weather is pretty apt to be unsettled.
At 8 o’clock in the morning the storm
was reported in Southeastern Alabama,
moving in a northwestern direction,
with no probability of its coming this
way.
Rain YVa* Badly Needed.
With the falling of general rains
throughout the basin of the Savannah
river, navigation, which has been
greatly handicapped for the last few
weeks, will be resumed,
river, commencing yesterday morning,
navigation, which has been greatly
handicapped for the last few weeks,
will be resumed.
The greatest .relief was in the infor
mation furnished by the local Weath
er Bureau that the rains were gen
eral in the Savannah river basin and
that the river, which has at times been
under four feet in depth at Augusta,
would rise, and boats which have been
unable to navigate very far up above
Savannah could continue in their trips.
The information was furnished at
the local bureau that the rise would
be immediate, but would not he as
great as it would have been but for
the long drought. The large number
of inquiries at the Weather Bureau
during the day as to the probability
of the river’s rising indicates there are
any number of craft waiting for a
rise in the waters above Savannah.
Owners of boats which ply between
here and Augusta state they have had
the greatest difficulty in making trips
to the upper landings even with the
smallest and lightest draft river
steamers.
Inland Storms I,one Force.
In speaking of the number of storms
which have been reported as prob
able visitors to Savannah, Forecast
Boyer of the Savannah bureau said
the probable cause Nas the indentation
in the coast here.
"Sailors call this ‘the bay’ ” said Mr.
Boyer. "Tropical storms that originate
in the West Indies come up the Flor
ida coast and continue off the coast
as they pass Savannah, again striking
land in the Carolinas. Storms that go
inland lose much of their force by the
friction, und consequently by the time
they get this far they have either
changed thejr course or spent their
force.”
WILL CHANGE KEYS
TO FIRE BOXES.
Fire box keys will probably be
changed, because the key of Mounted
Officer Clark would not work early
Wednesday morning, ■ when the stable
of Herman F. Kuck was on fire.
Finding that his key would not open
the box, the mounted officer started at
a gallop to the nearest Are station, but
before he had gone any distance
Sergeant Murphy appeared on the
scene and turned in the alarm with
his key.
The keys now in use are of soft brass
and are easily worn. When worn they
will not ooen the boxes. Patrolman
Clark's key, which had been carried
for some time had been worn away In
places bv contact with other keys on
. hl ring.
Either solid keys will be obtained or
a kev will be placed In every box, so
that anyone mav send In an alarm.
The latter plan will doubtless be
adopted. The matter was called to the
attention of the Mayor yesterday.
COUNTED coupons;
THEN DESTROYED THEM.
For nearly three hours yesterday
afternoon the members of the Finance
Committee of Council counted and
canceled coupons in the office of the
city treasurer.
Coupons representing *60,000 were
crone over and holes were punched In
them. Besides Chairman James M.
Dixon, Aldermen Schroeder and Canty
were present. The office force under
the treasurer assisted the aldermen In
oing through the books and gathering
•uch data as they desired.

POSTMASTER FAVORS
PLAZA PROPOSITION.
Would Also Be Glad to See Paving
of York Street.
So far as the co-operation of Post
master Blun is concerned, it is al
ready assured for the project to con
vert the Chatham Artillery site, op
posite the postofflee, into a plaza.
"I would certainly be glad to see
the plaza there.” said Capt. Blun and
am ready to co-operate. I am only too
glad to do anything for the good of
Savannah.
"The plaza would serve to accentu
ate the beautv of the postofflee build
ing, and would increase its attractive
ness materially. No doubt the city,
if it can. would close up President
street for the block. The street and
additional block could be made into
a lawn which would be a thing of
beauty. I have been in favor of the
proposition ever since it was first
suggested a year ago.
"Right now I am also In favor of
the city paving York street the length
of the postofflee building, which would
connect the Whitaker street and Bull
street paving. We have two rural car
riers, four mounted carriers and four
in wagons who leave from that side
of the building. When it rains there
are lakes of mud and water to be
ploughed through. The sand of the
street Is cut up and full of holes right
now. I am glad the Mayor had
promised to use his influence in the
matter.”
MARINE HOSPITAL WORK
PROGRESSING WELL
Brick Work for Basement Will Be
Completed Very Shortly,
Satisfactory progress is being made
in the building of the Marine Hospi
tal at York and Abereorn streets. The
brick work for the basement will be
completed within a week. The base
ment extends about five feet above the
ground.
The brick work at the back has been
completed up to the first floor level,
and the footings for porches put in
place. The window and door frames
have been set. The iron for reinforc
ing the beams and floor construction
has been received.
No delay has been occasioned by any
difficulty in securing labor. In fact,
while other pieces of work have waited
there have been more applicants for
work than could be accommodated,
and Mr. M. G. Rieber, superintendent
of construction for the firm of Cramp
& Cos., has been able to select the best
material. As the government only re
quires eight hours' work in a day, and
also gives more pay for the smaller
number of hours, the workmen find the
hospital job very agreeable.
SAVANNAH GETS WHAT
THE CONTROLLER GIVES.
City Ha* Nothing to Do With As
sessing the iiailroails.
Even though it were true, as charged
in Atlanta, that the railroads are not
paying sufficient taxes in Savannah,
Macon and Atlanta, the Board of Tax
Assessors here are powerless.
Mayor Myers stated yesterday if the
railroads are not paying the taxes
which they should it is a matter the
Controller General should attend to.
It is entirely in his hands, and so far
as Savannah is concerned it has to
take what it is decided by the Con
troller General is its share.
The railroads make their returns to
Controller Wright and he announces
what Savannah is entitled to from the
roads entering this city. It has for a
long time been contended here that Sa
vannah should get more out Of the
railroads on the ground that the prop
erty In the city limits is more valua
ble than that In the country, and that
the proprating is not gone about In the
right way.

SAVANNAH MORNING NF.WS: FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 4. 1904
SPRING SURPRISE
AT THE LAST HOUR
REPUBLICAN FOR CONGRESS.
POSTMASTER D. B. RIGDON. OF
STATESBORO, ENTERS ARENA.
W’lll Oppose Claim* of Congress
man R. E. heater for Honor*-.Ac
tivity of Populists Under Spell ol
• Watson’s Speech no Doubt Re
sponsible—Republicans Hnl De
cided to Hold Off—Col. Fester Not
at All Disturbed.
Macon, Nov. 3.—David 11. Higdon,
postmaster at Statesboro, Ga., lias an
nounced his candidacy in opposition
to Congressman Lester of the First
district—Associated Press Dispatch.
Disregarding the decision of the Re
publican Congressional Committee not
to put out a candidate for Congress In
the First district, the press dispatches
announce that David B. Rigdon, post
master at Statesboro, will make the
i‘ace against Congressman R. E. Les
ter.
As told in the columns of the Morn
ing News, the Republicans considered
carefully and for some weeks the ad
visability of putting out a candidate
to oppose the Democratic nominee, and
after mature deliberation the full com
mittee concurred in the recommenda
tion of the sub-committee to the effect
it was inexpedient to have -a Republi
can candidate this time.
At the time it was stated no suit
able man could be found who would
make the race, though there were
many Republicans who desired that a
candidate be named.
That so prominent a Republican as
Mr. Rigdon could have escaped the ob
servation of the committee is not to
be believed for an instant. Hence
there is only one explanation for the
change of heart experienced by Mr.
Rigdon.
It will be remembered that the Hon.
Thomas E. Watson, Populist candi
date for President, recently addressed
his fellow citizens at Statesboro, and
according to all reports succeeded in
arousing the spirit of ’96 in a consid
erable number of his hearers.
Populists in the Game,
Putting one and one together, it Is
evident the activity of the Populists
caused Mr. Rigdon to feel the race was
worth while, and that his hopes are
based on the combination of the Re
publican and Populist vote in the dis
trict, working with Democratic apathy.
In speaking of the announcement, a
leading Republican said last night:
"It is the privilege of an American
citizen to run for office if he wants
to. The Republicans decided to put
out no candidate, but that, of course,
will not hinder them from voting for
any one they desire.
“Mr. Rigdon is a mighty fine mg.n,
and stands high in the community in
which he lives. He would make a good
congressman. I cannot answer the
question as to whether he was consid
ered as an available candidate by the
sub-committee appointed to consider
the list.”
Considerable color Is lent to the story
of the combination between the Re
publicans by that fact that in
the Maoon district, from which the
story comes, the Republicans have put
out no candidates, while the Populists
have a man. The situation is to be
reversed in the First district.
Col. Lester Not Annoyed.
When notified last night of the can
didacy of Mr. Rigdon, Col. Lester was
not at all disturbed.
"I don’t know of anything to say
about the announcement,” said Col.
Lester. “I shall not lose any sleep
over q; he matter, neither am I fearful
as to the result.”
In Savannah there are 5,397 quali
fied voters who have registered, with
5,416 registrations for the municipal
election. „
Chairman Paulsen of the Election
Committee of the County Commission
ers will probably to-day name the
managers of the election for next
Tuesday.
DEFENDANT WAS GLAD
OPPONENT WAS BLACK.
Charged with being drunk and dis
orderly, drawing a knife on Willie
Hagan, a one-legged negro, and then
striking him with an umbrella, Free
man Pringle, 21 years of age, was ar
rested by Patrolman Meyers yester
day.
After being locked up until he was
sober, Pringle was released on bond.
He Inquired of the desk sergeant what
had happened and said he remember
ed nothing of it. He expressed his
gratification that it was a negro and
not a white man he was charged
with hitting and drawing a knife on.
The trouble took place near Berrien
and West Broad streets.
FOR DAY LIGHT BURGLARY.
For burglarising the house of An
drew and Addle Graham on Harmon
street, Frank Wade was arrested by
Detectives Stark and Davis yesterday.
Though both the Grahams and an
other witness stated positively they
saw Wade leaving the house through
a window with a basket of clothes, he
denies his guilt. The burglary was
committed Wednesday in broad day
light The owners of the house say
they chased the man, but he made his
escape. They are positive Wade is
the man. All the parties are negroes.

SUSTAINED MOTION TO
NON-SUIT DAMAGE CASE.
Interesting Point of Law Argued
Before Jnilge Cana.
After hearing evidence a part of
Wednesday afternoon and nearly all of
yesterday in the case of Isaac Riley vs.
Churchill & Cos., Judge Cann approved
a non-suit asked for by defendants’
counsel in the Superior Court.
Riley was suing for SIO,OOO damages,
which he claimed to have sustained on
Dec. 30, 1889, while loading a ship ■con
signed to Churchill & Cos. His specific
allegations were that he was assigned
to the duty of placing cotton just
below the hatch in a narrow space,
wherein much danger was attached.
Through the negligence or carelessness
of one of the employes of the defend
ants, he claimed he was badly In
jured by cotton being thrown on him
from above.
According to evidence adduced by
the defense, Riley was familiar with
the dangerous task assigned to him
and also of the Inefficiency of his co
laborer, who was known to the plain
tiff to be a careless and wreckless man.
With this knowledge, under the law,
the defense claimed the plaintiff could
not proceed against the defendants.
Judge Cann ordered the jury to be
retired and rendered his decision after
hearing arguments by counsel, sustain
ing the motion for non-suit.
The case was first brought in the
City Court, where a non-suit motion
was sustained. It was then brought in
the Superior Court.
BOYS’ CHURCH CLUB
IS ORGANIZED AGAIN.
Trinity Roys Will Have Gymnasium
ancl Indoor Sport*.
The Boys’ Club of Trinity Methodist
Church was reorganized last night at
an enthusiastic meeting of the boys
of the church, and active fall work
will begin at once.
There were about sixty boys at the
meeting and all displayed great en
thusiasm in the Work. The club was
in existence last fall and winter and
did valuable work, but during the
summer the work was dropped. The
object of the club is to aid the boys
of Trinity Church physically, mental
ly and morally. Wholesome amuse
ment, both intellectual and physical,
are to be provided.
Over the Sunday-school room of the
church Is a large hall, which has been
flttted out as a gymnasium. Here the
boys will take regular exercises daily.
A series of social meetings and lec
tures are also to be arranged. The
object of the organization Is to inter
est the boys in helpful amusements
and to keep them off the streets and
away from places where they might
come under baneful Influences.
Rev. J. A. Smith was elected the
president of the club and Mr. Fred J.
Pape secretary. The club will be di
vided into two bodies, junior and se
nior. The junior club will use the
gymnasium in the afternoops and the
seniors at night. Basket . and hand
ball and all the indoor sports are to
be indulged in. Mr. Smith, the presi
dent, thinks the club will accomplish
a great deal of good.

COUNTRY BOY
HIT BY A TRAIN
LOUISVILLE LAD INJURED.
FRED MURPHY' HURT IN CENTRAL
OF GEORGIA Y ARDS.
Boy Only 14 or 15 Year* of Age Is
at the Savannah Hospital Pain
fully Injured and None of Hts
Relatives Have Shown Up—Says
He YVna Getting Out of the Way
ot One Train, When Another Hit
lliin.
Stepping out of the way of a switch
engine in the Central Railroad yards
early last night, Fred Murphy, a boy
only 14 or 15 years of age, who lives
at Louisville, Ga., was struck by In
coming passenger train No. 2 and se
riously, though not fatally, injured.
Neither the engineer, nor anyone on
the train, knew the lad had been hurt
and no stop was made. He was found
a short time afterwards by Car In
spector Salon, who was making his
rounds in the yard. The boy was car
ried to the Central Station and the
police ambulance was hurriedly called.
He was sent to the Savannah Hos
pital, where he was given medical at
tention.
The accident Is a rather mysterious
one. No one witnessed It and exactly
how it happened is not known. The
railroad authorities, however, think
the boy stepped or fell against the
side of the train. They say If he had
been struck by the engine, he would
probably have been killed, or more se
riously injured.
The only statement the boy himself
has made is that he was walking on
the tracks and in getting out of the
way of one train was struck by an
other. When found in the yards it was
not known who he was or how the
accident had happened. He gave his
name and said his father was W. S.
Murphy of Louisville. He did not ex
plain about the accident except to say
in avoiding being struck by a train
on one track he was caught by the
other.
What the boy was doing in the
yards of the railroad is not known.
So far no relatives of the lad have
turned up. When the accident was
first reported it was thought he may
have fallen from the incoming train,
but in view of his statement this, or
course, could not be true. Even the
boy’s presence in the city is unex
plained. It Is supposed he must have
come to the carnival.
Young Murphy was hurt about the
face and nose, and also about the
knees. Dr. W. H. Elliott, who attend
ed him, had to take a number of
stitches both in the nose and knees.
The injuries are not dangerous,
though they are very painful. Imme
diately after the accident he limped a
short distance.
PLANT ESTATE CONTROLS
RED CYPRESS CO. STOCK.
Capt. W. YV. Gordon, Jr„ Was in
Macon to Attend Conference.
Capt. W. W. Gordon, Jr., returned
yesterday morning from Macon, where
he went in connection with the Red
Cypress Lumber Company litigation.
He is chairman of a committee ap
pointed to consider the proposal of set
tlemen made by the company, looking
towards the withdrawal of Us affairs
from the courts.
All of the different interests met in
a spirit of compromise, and as all three
of the concerns involved are in the
hands of receivers, there is a chance
for almost unlimited litigation. It is
to avoid this contingency that com
promises are talked of. Mr. George
W. Tiedeman, representing the Ger
mania Bank, also attended the con
ference.
"The Plant estate will not pay over
25 per cent, unless the compromise with
the creditors of the cypress company is
made,” said Capt. Gordon. "If this Is
done, the estate will pay between SO
aqd 40 per cent., but not 50, as news
paper reports have had it recently. The
exact per cent, will depend on the
sums realized from the assets. The
cypress company is largely owned by
the Plant estate. A settlement may be
made and the company taken out of
the hands of a receiver.”

GEORGIA REGIMENT HAD
ROUGH SITE FOR CAMP.
Mr. M. Ed. Wilson Observed Place
Before and After Maneuvers.
Among those who had an excellent
opportunity to observe the conditions
around the camp of the Second Geor
gia at the Manassas maneuvers was
Mr. M. Ed. Wilson, who was there for
the purpose of taking pictures of
points of interest.
Not only was Mr. Wilson a compe
tent critic by reason of his profession,
but he was still further qualified by
some fifteen years of military experi
ence to pass on questions of camp life.
“I was there before the Georgia
regiment arrived and after it lelt,”
said Mr. Wilson. "Having viewed the
camps of the other troops I can truth
fully say the Second Georgia had the
poorest site in the entire camp, both
as to location and condition of
grounds.
“The grounds were kept as well as
the rest, and considering the short
time the men were there, they left the
camp in as good condition as any, and
much better than some of the regu
lars’ camps. I went over the grounds
after the Georgia regiment left, and
it was in good condition, considering
the original shape in which it was as
signed to the boys.
“I fail to see why the Georgia regi
ment should have been singled out. It
was not there long enough to overcome
the natural defects and It would be
absurd to have expected it. The men
were on the march most of the time
and there was no opportunity to level
camp sites.
“The Georgia regiment was certain
ly given a bad deal, and now it is be
ing blamed for what was not its
fault."
