METER INSPECTOR
FOR NEXT YEAR
ORDINANCE AGREED UPON.
WILL BE IVTOODIICED AT NEXT
COUNCIL MEETIXS.
Alderman Garfankel, Chairman ol
the Water Committee, Will l>e
Father to the New Ordinance— Cm
and Electric Companies Moot Pay
2fl Cento for Inopectlon of Every
Nevr Meter—How Consumers Will
Go A bout Having Meter* Tested.
An ordinance creating the office of
Meter Inspector will be introduced at
the next meeting of City Council by
Alderman A. J. Garfunkel, chairman
of the Water Committee.
The provisions of the ordinance have
all been agreed upon, except that it
has not been decided whether the in
spector will be paid a salary, or
whether one of the men now In the
Water Department will be required to
do the work. In any event the in
spector will be in the water depart
ment.
The new official will be required to
test electric as well as gas meters,
but in every case a fee will be charged.
This fee will be collected in advance
by the city treasurer. The ordinance
will require the Inspection of all new
meters and a fee of 25 cents will be
charged in each case, to be paid by
the gas or electric company.
When a consumer makes complaint
about a meter he will be required to
visit the office of the city treasurer
and nav 50 cents. For this sum he
will receive an order on the meter in
spector requiring him to make the de
sired tests.
In the event it is found by the in
spector that the consumer had grounds
for charging his meter was not work
ing properly, and it is found in bad
shape by the inspector, he will give
the consumer a certificate relating
these facts. This certificate will then
be cashed by the city treasurer for 50
cents, and the company oivnihg the
meter will have to foot the bill.
Alderman Garfunkel has been at
work on the ordinance for some little
while. It will cost the city, he has
found, bet ween SIOO and SSOO for ma
chines for testing both gas and elec
tric meters. It is expected, however,
that the city will soon get this back in
fees, and at the same time will pro
vide the public with some protection.
Alderman Garfunkel has found that
such inspections are made in other
cities, and that the plan works well.
BOY WHO SHOT Gu¥~
WAS JUSTIFIED.
Evidence Showed He Shot t Ne
itroee In His Own Defenee.
Without a moment's hesitation or the
perceptible quiver of a single muscle,
Milton Brannen.the 13-year-old boy who
a week ago emptied the contents of a
shotgun at James Dwight, some of the
shot taking effect in the face and
neck, and a stray shot striking Mack
Thompson, a bystander, in the back,
took the stand in Police Court yester
day morning and made a most unusual
statement for a boy of his years.
Brannen made practically the same
statement he made when first arrested.
He said he was being “rocked'’ by
a number of negro boys, and as he was
outnumbered four or five to one, he
ran into the house, got the gun and
threatened to shot if the negroes did
not desist. They kept throwing stones
and jeered at him, yelling, "Shoot,
shoot”—"and I shot,” he said.
Young Brennan was unusually
straightforward and manly in his
statement. He said he believed he
would have been seriously injured if
he had not secured the gun and fired
at the crowd. He said he would do the
same thing again if the negroes both
ered him. After hearing the statement
of eye witnesses the Recorder dis
charged young Brannen.
TEETH mFMUCH DAMAGE
IN TWO HARD FIGHTS.
Wounded Hoy on Way to Doctor's
Offlee Was Again Attacked.
Bitten in a fight, and while on his
way to a doctor’s office for treatment,
bitten in another fight, was the strange
experience of Fred Cetti, a young white
boy, last night.
Cetti. who is employed in the South
ern Cotton Oil Mills, became involved
In a dispute with a fellow worker and
was bitten on the right breast and on
the face. While painfully injured he
felt well enough to start for the of
fice of Dr. George Herriott. where he
expected to have his wounds dressed.
Walking along the street some boys
taunted him about his appearance.
Forgetting his injuries he started an
other fight, and was again worsted.
His antagonist bit him in several
places, the most serious being a bite
between the thumb and forefinger of
his right hand. This wound was cau
terixed by Dr. * Herriott, whose office
Cetti managed to reach without fur
ther trouble.
The injuries, while painful, are not
considered of a serious nature.
POWELL RELEASED
UNDER S3OO BOND.
Jacob Powell, the negro who cut
Lonnie Brannen's throat near the
Southern Cotton Oil Company Works
Thursday afternoon, was released on
bond yesterday, after the solicitor gen
eral had been furnished with acer-
Ir rO T.!. he " Uendln K Physician
to the effect that Brannen was out of
danger, a bond for *3OO was signed by
* • Jones, and Powell wan given
his liberty. Brannen -was very much
improved yesterday, and Dr. Johnson
says he will soon be all right.
DOG SNAPPED AT
EVERYTHING IN SIGHT.
Considerable excitement was created
yesterday morning at Jones and Barn
ard streets by a dog that was to all
appearances mad. The dog ran around,
WUn* and snapping at everything in
sight. A telephone message was
sent to police headquarters and Pa
trolman Tullis was dispatched to kill
the canine. When the officer arrived
on the seen>, ho found Ihe dog in a
dying condition.

CHINKS ON JOURNEY
TO THEIR BIRTH-LAND.
Jisf Ling Has Ended Ilia Term of
Confinement Hem
The end has come to the confinement
of Jung Ling, an almond-eyed celes
tial, as far as the Chatham county Jail
Is concerned.
Yesterday morning he bade farewell
to his fellow prisoners and in the cus
tody of Deputy Marshal J. Ben Wilson
began the long journey to Chinkland.
At Macon he will be met by one other
Chink and at Augusta two more will
Join the procession that is to wend its
way to the land of the upside-down.
At Atlanta all Chinks who entered
this country minus a permit and a
chatchi, and who sought to make their
home in the northern district of the
United States court in Georgia will be
gathered together. It will be a mot
ley gathering of good Chinks, bad
Chinks and indifferent Chinks. A
catalogue is impossible, as the wiley
Chinaman changes his name faster
than the fastest printers can get the
letters into type. But the reports state
there are plenty of them, all seeming
ly anxious to get back to the realm of
the Empress Dowager.
From Atlanta the excursion party
will journey to Norfolk and there the
few remaining members of the race
who are doomed to go back, will be
gathered together. After the first in
formal reunion the company will be
whisked across the continent and ship
ped from ’Frisco to China. And then
will the troubles of the prosecuting at
torneys, marshals and inspectors be
ended for a time and the Chinks that
rerryain will no longer be compelled to
practice legerdemain with the names.
ARE RUSHING WORK ON
COLLEGE BUILDINGS.
Plans of Edifice Have Keen Slightly
Changed by Arcliltest.
Rev. Father Bernerd, O. S. 8., has
just returned from Belmont, N. C.,
where he has been for the last few
days on business connected with the
Church of the Sacred Heart and with
the new buildings that are now be
ing erected on Bull and Thirty-fourth
streets.
Some slight changes were made in
the plhns of the new Benedictine Col
lege by the architect of St. Mary’s, who
has charge of the work. These changes
are slight, however, and do not affect
in any way the general appearance of
the building.
Work on the building, under Con
tractor Eason, is going on rapidly.
The foundations are well under way
and If no accidents occur, the building
will be turned over to the faculty
of the college by the first of next May.
It is certain that the college will open
the 1905-06 session in its new home.
The new- Sacred Heart Church is
rapidly being rounded into completion.
It will be ready for church services
early in January at the latest. The
other buildings are also being pushed
forw’ard rapidly, and the new' quarters
of the clergy will soon be completed.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 27. 1904.
BADLY BEATEN
IN VICIOUS FIGHT
WOMEN THE BELLIGERENTS.
ONE 19 MINUS TWO FINGERS AND
HER LEFT EAR.
Trouble Started Over Aecasatloas of
Slander—Half Horen Neighbors Re
paired to Separate Straggling
Fighters—One Participant Unin
jured Itecnasc Other Had Mis
laid Her Teeth—lnjuries May
l’rovc Fatal—Sylvia Walker Chew
ed Fannie Owens at Wheat Hill.
Fannie Owens, colored, and Sylvia
Walker, also colored, became involved
in an altercation at Wheat Hill last
night, which resulted in the Owens
woman losing her right forefinger, a
joint from her little finger, and her left
ear. The teeth of the Walker woman
had wrought the havoc.
The trouble is said to have started
over a visit of the Walker woman to
the Owens’ home for the purpose of
ascertaining who had told her husband
tales calculated to disrupt the peace
and quietude of the Walker fireside.
Fannie happened to be home when her
solicitous neighbor called and trouble
commenced immediately.
That the visit was unexpected is evi
denced by the story of the injured
woman. She told Dr. George W. Her
riot, who attended to the cauterizing
of her wounds, that when attacked by
Sylvia, she tried to bite back, but
had mislaid her teeth. She could do
nothing with her gums, though she
6trove long and earnestly.
From the accounts of neighboring
women, who arrived while the Walker
woman was chewing on her adversary,
the struggle was fierce. It required the
united efforts of a half dozen of the
women to separate the belligerents.
When Dr. Herriott. arrived he was
amazed at the condition of the Owens
woman. Her head was caked with
blood and dirt and her hand was bad
ly damaged. He cauterized the wounds,
but thinks the injuries of a serious
nature.
The right forefinger was as com
pletely severed as if removed by a
surgeon’s knife. The little finger upon
the right hand was about half chew
ed away. The left ear was taken off
and could not be found. The suffer
ing of the injured woman was in
tense.
The stories of the participants in
the difficulty vary considerably. The
Owens woman denies being the au
thor of the stories laid at her door,
and states she was entirely unpre
pared for trouble. The Walker wom
an, who has not as yet been taken
into custody, asserts she was attack
ed by the Owens women, but may
have provoked the difficulty by her
assertions, which she says are en
tirely just.
“TILLIE BAKER’S” MATE
FOUGHT WITH SAILOR.
tie Tackled n Seaman Who Was a
Dit Too Strenuous.
United States Commissioner W. R.
Hewlett again had A. S. Rogers, the
mate of the Tillie Baker, before him
yesterday, though this time tile mate
appeared as prosecutor and not as de
fendant, as was the case the first time
he played a star part there.
The trouble arose over a row on
board the bark. The mate noticed a
sailor engaged in certain work about
the vessel. He did not appreciate the
work of the man and he advised him
to take some other calling where he
could be useful, and kindly suggested
he was best fitted for a mule driver.
To this language, which W'as liber
ally interspersed, it was alleged, with
a variety of language very common
among the men who labor just above
Davy Jones, the sailor objected and
registered a kick. He held that in
amuch as he had been before the mast
for eighteen years he ought to know
his business, regardless of the opin
ions of the mate.
The mate then announced there was
to be a matinee performance on the
dock ala old John L., in which he
was to play the leading part. He of
fered to let the sailor, John Joseph
Spurr, act as understudy. In fact he
extended a cordial invitation to Spurr
to play that part. Spurr announced
that "Barkis Is willing’. ’’ but held that
the matinee might just as well be
pulled off on the deck as on the dock.
The mate agreed and landed his
right over Spurr’s eye. Spurr made
some remarks in which he called sev
eral personages from the nether world
to bear witness that he was about to
send the mate down to them. Then
the mate made for a Relaying-pin and
took a crack at the sailor with that
He missed and that miss proved fatal
to his aspirations for the part of lead
ing man. Spurr landed several times
and when he stopped landing the mate
was in a bad way.
Then they called on the law—that is.
the mate did—and had Spurr arrest
ed. The commissioner decided it was
six one way and half a dozen the
other and dismissed the case. It was
plain “fight" instead of "assault.”

MORE TAXES WERE PAID
AND BONDS FURNISHED.
Action of Grand Jury Haa Hurried
Up Many Delinquent#.
There was a great deal more taxpay
ing yesterday.
Practically everyone of those who
were indicted for their delinquency
were served With bench warrants.
In every case bond was promptly fur
nished, and in the majority of cases
the amount of taxes was paid.
This has done much to clear up the
books and “Paid” has been stamped
opposite some names that had prac
tically been put in the column where
"Despair” is the headline.
Many who were not Indicted also
hurried to the office and paid. They
remembered there are other grand ju
ries still to come, and that these may
see fit to follow in the footsteps of
■their immediate predecessors and hand
down a bunch of Indictments. And
they reasoned that it is always cheaper
to pay the taxes alone than to pay
them plus the costs of the court in a
prosecution for a misdemeanor offense.
OFFICIALS OF COURT
WILL ARRIVE TO-DAY.
Court Will Convene on Monday-
Morning At Usual Hour,
The United States court officials who
were expected in the city last night will
not arrive here until this morning.
This information was conveyed to
the local officials through one of the
court’s officers, the letter stating that
all would probably reach the city in
the morning, though some may not ar
rive until to-night.
United States District Attorney Alex
ander Alcerman and his assistant, Mr.
Storer will probably be the first on
the scene, as there are many matters
for them to go over before the meet
ing of the grand jury. Mr. Leaken,
special assistant to the attorney gen
eral, already has his cases well in hand
for presentation to the grand jury.
Judge Emory Speer will reach the city
to-night or early to-morrow morning.
He will be accompanied by the official
court reporter, Mr. J. N. Talley.
United States Marshal George White,
Chief Deputy Henry Tucker, and Dep
uty Stalnaker will arrive in the morn
ing.
The court will assemble on Monday
morning at the usual hour, 10 o’clock.
The grand jurors will be sworn in
and Judge Speer will deliver his charge.
They will at once retire to pass upon
cases presented to them and the court
will take up the pending c’ases and
jail cases. The programme will be
carried out as outlined in the Morning
News yesterday.

JERRY GEORGE’S NEW BUILDING.
His Restaurant to Open Saturday—
Everything New and Nice.
During the past three months build
ers, carpenters, painters and decora
tors have been turning inside out the
stores at 114-116 Broughton street, west.
Asa. result Mr. Jerry George now oc
cupies two as handsome stores as can
be found in the city. No. 114 is the
candy and ice cream parlor and is
brand new in every way. New fix
tures, new furnishings and to crown
it all, one of the most elegant and
artistic soda fountains in the South.
The fountain is of onyx, trimmed with
silver and is brilliantly illuminated by
many electric lights. It was specially
designed for Mr. George's store and is
a thing of beauty, dispensing the pur
est beverages in the most scientific
wav.
In No. 116 is the restaurant, and this
will be formally opened to the public
on Saturday next. The restaurant oc
cupies the main floor and three hand
some dining rooms are provided on the
second floor. The restaurant fittings
are most complete and are designed
to make the service acceptable to the
best class of patrons. Anew feature
of the George restaurant will be the
merchants’ lunch, ‘served 'between 12
and 3 and a first class table d’hote
dinner served from 6 to 9 p. m. Mr.
George's Idea is to make this restau
rant a home-like place, where one's
family can lunch and dine with the
utmost satifaction. The kitchen equip
ment is the most perfect obtainable,
and the best results may be expected
under the direction of Mr. George’s
French chef, an expert in French,
Spanish, Italian and American cook
ing. The restaurant is so conveni
ently located in the midst of the shop
ping district and with the trolley cars
reaching every part of the city. It
will cater to the best element in the
community, and Mr. George's experi
ence, enterprise and attention will un
questionably make it a great success.

NEGRO SUSPECTS
PASSED MUSTER
MISS LYNAH SAW ACCUSED.
FAILED TO IDENTIFY MEN AT
COUNTY JAIL*
Wadley and Patterson Were Taken
Before Young Lady—Scrutinised
Wadley Very Closely and Seemed
to Hesitate, Bat Finally Said She
Was Positive He Was Not the Man.
Passed Patterson Over With a
Cursory Glance.
Acompanied by her father, brother
and a young lady friend, Miss Eloise
Lynah, went to the County Jail, yes
terday morning for the purpose of
identifying the two negroes, Will Wad
ley . and Will Patterson, one of whom
was suspected as being the man who
entered the Lynah home some weeks
ago. After looking both men over care
fully Miss Lynah said she did not be
lieve either of the suspects was the
same she saw in her room.
Miss Lynah was visibly affected
when the prisoners were ordered
brought into the jail office, but when
they were placed before her side by
side she was calm.
At a glance she passed Patterson
over, but scrutinized Wadley very
closely. He had on the same clothes
that he wore when arresetd.
Miss Lynah staid he looked very much
like the man who held a pistol in her
face and commanded her to silence,
but she did not believe he was the
man. She finally stated positively
Wadley was not the man.
According to Miss Lynah’s minute
description of the negro whom she said
she would have recognized ‘anywhere,
Wadley was believed to be the guilty
man, without a doubt. He had bean
seen around in the vicinity of the
Lynah home, was dressed as described
by Miss Lynah, had a pistol, was of
the same stature and had a slight mus
tach.
When asked if she thought she would
recognize the man were she to see
him now, Miss Lynah stated she woiiid
have known him in a minute if she
had seen him directly after the af
fair, but she was not positive whether
she would know him now.
Neither of the negroes displayed any
concern while being scrutinized by Miss
Lynah, but Wadley breathed a sigh
of relief when she finally shook her
head and stated he was not the man.
Wadley is held for carrying conceal
ed weapons and Patterson is being held
for burglary.

The First Question People Ask
When a man dies, is, how much life
Insurance did he have? This question
is the natural interest that is mani
fested in the welfare of the bereaved
family. Would it not be well for you
to ask yourself this question: Have
you enough life Insurance? if not, is
it not your duty to attend to the
matter without further delay? Thou
sands of men accounted good finan
ciers are kept afloat by their ability
and energy—that is, the stream of
money coming in is kept equal to that
going out. While the man lives this is
well; but at his death the power that
drives the machinery is stopped, the
supply is cut off and all demands are
presented for payment—often for pro
test —and the wife and children must
take what is left. A policy of life in
surance in the Massachusetts Mutual
takes care of them as no other provi
sion can. With such a policy a man is
absolutely certain that at his death
his family is provided for, and in the
event of a contingency—inability to
longer continue —his every equity is
secured to him under the beneficent
laws of the commonwealth of Massa
chusetts. These policies guarantee to
every policy-holder of a Massachusetts
company either a cash settlement or
a paid-up insurance, in addition to
which the law secures him his divi
dends each year. It is to your interest
to examine into the plans of the Mas
sachusetts Mutual before entering in
to a oontract for life insurance. It is
the leading Massachusetts company
and pays good dividends to policy
holders. It will cost you nothing for
information, a specimen policy and an
extract of the insurance laws of Mas
sachusetts will be sent you on appli
cation. Address Harty & Apple, man
agers for Georgia and South Carolina,

A GOLD MEDAL
For White Stone Llthln Water
Awarded l>y the World's Fair
Committee.
Some time ago it was announced in
the Morning News that Dougan &
Sheftiall would exhibit White Stone
Lithia water at the World’s Fair, St.
Louis. They -were advised yesterday
that the water had been awarded the
gold medal over 118 competitors. These
embraced many of the oldest, as well
as the most celebrated waters of the
world. The award of merit sustains
the claim made for White Stone
Lithia, both as to Its superiority as a
table water and as a medicine.
White Stone Lithia Springs are
within a night’s ride of Savannah and
on the grounds a large hotel has 'been
erected and has been thrown open to
the public. Guests from the North are
already quartered there for the win
ter and the desirability of the location,
because of the water and the game
preserves, is 'bringing the place into
prominence.
The Annual Problem
