20 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.

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.

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.

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.” Christians is Near.

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.

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.

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. FORMER SAVANNAH IAN GAVE COLLEGE MONEY. W. J. Odell Turned Over $5,000 to University of Cincinnati.

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.
