IN SHAPE AGAIN.
The Steamer st. Nicholas to GO on Her
Route This Week.

The Steamer st. Nicholas to Go on Her
Route This Week.
The repairs to the steamer st. Nicholas
having been completed the vessel was taken
from the ways yesterday morning and
towed over to her wharf at the foot of
Lincoln street, where the painters com
pleted their share of the finishing touches.
Special Officer Henry Hastedt is still in Gus
tody of the boat, and the steamboat com
pany has Waterman on board. Capt
Uslna was on board all of yesterday superin-
tending the painting, and the vessel
does not look as if she had ever met
with the accident which unloaded some
S5OOOO of damage suits upon it with the
probability of $4,000 or $4,000 more to
come.
1t is believed that the ST. Nicholas will be
bonded out Of the hands of the Unitad
States marshal this week ald will resume
ner trade between Savannah and Bruins
wick. Capt. Usina takes the litigation
good-naturedly, and it is intimated by the
captain that when the suits come on for
trial some of the witnesses who testified be-
fore tue inspectors will be subjected to a
crucial cross-examination, and some new
developments may be expected. The cap
tain claims that the position of the lignts
on the St. Augustine creek drawbrid te
have teen changed two or three times since
the accident, aud he says that the position
OF the lights on the nights of July 80 and
Aug. | was different
not yet made up their report. and
there is great interest and curiosity
as to how it will be made up. The
railroad people feel confident that their side
OF the case was well made out, and that the
blame will be placed Oh the boat, while on the
other hand the friends of the boat believe
that when the character of a large part of
the testimy is weighed and the conflicting
testimony as to the position of the lights on
the bridge is considered, the finding will not
be materially different from the finding of
the cOroler'S iurv

PARR IN JAIL AGAIN.
Barney McDonald's Victim Arreste
for Compromising a Felony,

Barney McDonald's Victim Arrested
for Compromising a Felony.
William Parr, the man whom Central
Railroad Policeman Barney Mcdonald beat
up in the Screven house some time ago and
put in the barracks, is prisoner in the
jail Parr is charged with compounding a
felony. He was arrested in A lanta night
before last by Chief Connolly, at the in
stance Of Acting Solicitor General Rock
we'll, and was brought to Savannah yester-
day morning. A warrant was sworn out
ag inst him in Justice Russell's court, and
Parr was lodged in Jail
Parr is McDonald's prosecutor for assault
with intent to murder The morning that
the mayor released Parr, after he was
locked up by Officer Mcdonald, he went to
Justice Russell's court and swore out
warrant, charging the policeman with as
sault with intent to murder. The officer
was released on bond, and the case was
filed for the December term of the superior
court Parr went back TO work and the Off
GERS lost sight of him until Wednesday, when
Mr.. Rockwell got information that he had
left the city under circumstances which
warranted an investigation. The manner
of PARIS leaving, when looked into, was
sufficient to cause his arrest. He went to
Atlanta on a pass and prior to leaving
Savannah no had been given a new suit of
clothes. Acting Solicitor General r Jck-
well. possessed of these facts, ordered PARIS
arrest, a d he was arrested in Atlanta.
Parr was seen last night at the Jail by a
MORNING NEWS reporter, and he disclosed
| good deal connected with the case
II think they have played low down
| trick on me-" he said.
| Parr said that he was standing in front of
the Marshall house one day last week when
a friend asked him to go in and take a
drink. "We went in" Parr said, land took
a beer and ate a lu Gu" While there PARIS
friend asked him where he was working.
| Parr replied that he was out of b..
| why don't you go to Atlantal You could
| get good job there during the exposition, u
his friend suggested, and Parr said that be
told him that if he was in his place
he would not come back to Savannah.
He replied that he would like to go to At
lanta, aud his friend told him that he could
get him pass, and after dinner he took
him one made out to William Berry. Parr
said that his name was not Berry. That's
all right" his friend replied, you can
use it just the same" After giving
me the pass" Parr said, she asked me to go
ar und to the New York clothing house
with him. | did so, and he bought a SIS
suit and gave it to me. l went to Atlanta
that night. | was going to the fair grounds
the next day when l was arrested. 1t was
all a trick, he added, ''to get me away from
here to keep me from testifying against Nc

THE PUBLIC BUILDING.
Dol. Garrard's Trip to Washington and
What He Says.

| Col. William Garrard, who has just re-
turned from trip 20 Washington on mat
tiers pertaining to the changing Of the
public building site, said yesterday that 1t
is impossible 20 tell yet what will be done.
| The proposition TO change the site has been
referred 10 Supervising Architect Windrim,
and to say ANYTHING either way about his
| probable action would be wholly con- lecture.
| Col. Garrard had two interviews with the
supervising architect. All Of the petitions,
papers, ETC., which have been sent up from
| Savannah, as well as the governors In
| dorsement and a petition signed by the
members Of the general assembly, were
before the supervising architect. In addl-
| ton e. these were letters from nearly all OF
the members Of congress from Georgia,
! and also from Senators Brown and Col
quit. This is the data upon which Archl-
tect Windrim will predicate his action.
IL is believed that if the supervising
architect decides 20 change the site, Supt.
| Peck will be instructed t. discontinue work
very soon. In the meantime the work on
the present site is progressing.
Supt Peck seems a trlfle worried about
so much shilly-shallying, and while he did
| not say much, he appeared as if he will be
much better satisfied if he is allowed to go
ahead on the present site. He said yesterday
that with even a 100000 additional appro-
priation the present proposed structure
could be gre thy enlarged and improved
The superintendent said that the plans are
drawn so that any time the building may
be enlarged. They have been so made that
the western wall may be removed without
in any way damaging the structure There
are four large granite piers extending from
the basement floor up to the first floor
level on the western wall, and resting
upon these are five large iron columns,
which extend up TO the second floor level.
The spaces etween these piers and columns,
If no change is made, and the building made
no larger. will be built up with brick, which
may be removed whenever desired.
Supt. Peck was asked if the plans provide
for the United States engineers office,
and he replied that no such pro-
vision had been made. As he understood
it the provisi II was intended for increasing
the postofiice department. The plans pro-
vide only for an enlargement of the first
floor, by a western extension. Supt. Peck
does not favor building up single story to
the westward of the structure. IL an ap-
preparation is made at once, before the ex-
tension western walls are run up, to in
crease the building, with even 100000,
the structure might be added to by forty
foot western addition, extending three
stories high. This would give creased
room for the postoffice and would also give
eight or ten additional rooms
Supt. Peck is not apprised of any Of the
movements of the supervising architect
with reference to the change of the struct-
ure, and he is getting bids ON the iron
work, which will be begun in snort time,
If 10 suspension of work is ordered.

TO BIZ AT THE COURT HOUSE.
Solicitor General Fraser to Change
His Office.

Solicitor General Fraser, who has just
returned from his vacation in North Geor-
gia, will remove his law office to the office
of the solicitor general in the court house
next week, the partnership between himself
and Mr.. duBignon having expired by lin
ltation.
Mr.. Fraser said yesterday that he finds it
necessary to be at the court house the
greater part of his time, and especially
during the sessions of the courts.
which are often convened at the same time.
1t is his intention to try and regulate the
trial of the criminal causes of the two
courts SO that he can give his personal at
ton to both without the necessity of divid-
ing the labor with an assistant, TO as large a
degree as in the past, and he thinks that the
court calendars may be so arranged as
to facilitate the new departure.
The solicitor generals office will be on
the second hooa' of the court house. and
between the offices of Judge Falligant and
Sheriff Roman.
These quarters are necessarily limited, as
are those Of the other court and coun Y of
ficias, but with the completion of the new
court house no complaint will be heard of
lack of room.

THE ATLANTA STRIKE.
Central Officials Trying to Straighten
Matters Out.


The Central railroad and Atlanta and
West Point strike in Atlanta night before
last, in which over twenty yardmen went
out, is causing considerable delay in the
handling of freights over the two lines.
The men became dissatisfied with the wages
that they have been receiving since the CON
solidation of the yards Oct. 1, and they
submitted request TO Supt. Hege for an
increase of pay.
After consultation with General Manager
Gabbett, Supt. Hege notified the men that
be would be unable to raise their wages as
they had urged. The matter was con-
sdered settled until Thursday afternoon
when the yardmen went out. Supt Hege
was notified, and General Manager Gabbett
sent the superintendent and Trainmaster
Norman to Atlanta to adjust matters.
General Manager Gabbett went up himself
last night.
General Superintendent of Transporta-
ton L. Tyler said late last night that he
did not apprehend any great amount Of
trouble from the strike He had lust re-
ceived telegram from Supt. Hege saying
that several hands had been secured. and
freights were being moved. Supt. Tyler
said that there are five yard engines, two
of which are now at work, and he expects
to hear this morning that the rest of them
are at work. Supt. Tyler said that an
additional force was carried up from Macon
yesterday, and it is understood a number
Of hands nave been sent from Columbus.

THE S. c. RAILWAY TROUBLE
The Bernwell Railway Not Affected
by It.


The order of Judge Bond appointing ex-
Gov. Daniel q. Chamberlain temporary
recsiver of the South Carolina Railway
Company was filed in Charleston this week
The order also requires that the defend
ants show cause at Columbia on the fourth
| Monday in November why the Barnwell
railway, of which they were the former
owners, should not be ordered aud required
| ''to deliver possession of all its prop
erty to the receiver hereinbefOre ap-
| pointed as part of the assets of
the South Carolina Railway Company, in
| cluded in the property mortgaged as afOre-
said; and why the defendants, the South
Carolina company and H. Talnadge & Co.,
should not be restrained and enjoined from
selling or in any wise disposing of any
property or assets of said South Carolina
| company held by them as pledges thereof; ;
and
1T is further insisted that, in the mean
time, and until the hearing hereunder and
the further order of the court, the said
Barnwen Railway Company, its officers,
agents, eLaplJyes, and servants be re-
strained from in any way transferring
possession OF any property of the said
Barnwell Railway Company to any one
soever, save the receiver hereinbefore ap-
pointed; provided, that nothing herein
contained shall he construed to prevent the
Barnwell Railway Company fro carrying
on It's current corporate business in the
usual and proper manuer.n
Col Mike Brown. who owns the Barnwell
railway, which is to be part of the South
Bound, arrangements having been made to
that end, in referring to the restraining
order, informs the MORNING NEWS that,
while the action of Judge Bond apparently
clouds the title until the motion to show
cause IS heard in November, to those who
know the situation it will not so appear
Col. Brown says: "As for myself l have
no fear as to the result, as the South Caro-
lima railroad never did own the Barnwell
railroad. The latter has always stood on
its own bottom, and l hold all the bonds
and stock that have been issued. Besides
this the deeds to the Barnwell railroads
roadbed is absolute to the Barnwell Railway
Company"
1t appears from Col. Browns statement
that while the Barnwell railroad was at
one time operated by the South Carolina
railroad, it was never owned by the South
Carolina Railroad Company. The former
owners Of the Barnwell railroad were stock
holders of the South Carolina railway but
never mixed up that individual property
with the main line.
The halting action of the projectors of the
South Bound railway at the Savannah end
of the line is very annoying to Col. Brown,
who Is very anxious to have the project get
shape, and he says that everything is de-
pending on the Savannah people He thinks
that now, when trade is booming and uu i
ness is good, is the time for the com nittees
appointed by the two exchanges of the city
and the South Bound canvassing commit
tee TO finish up the canvass, 81 that the
work of construction ca begin.

IN AND ABOUT THE CITY.
CRUSHED By A FALLING GATE

Tobias Sans Fatally Injured at the
Upper Cotton Press Yard.
Tobias Sans, the old colored Waterman
Of the Savannah Cotton Press Association,
was crushed Dy falling gate yesterday
afternoon at the Upper cotton press yard.
at the foot of jefferson street, and he died
within an hour. Shortly after the accident
the injured man was removed to his
home, at No. 49, Reynolds street,
and DIR. Weichselbaum was called in,
but Sans was unconscious and beyond sur
gical aid.
The circumstances of the accident appear
to be that two truck drivers, each trying to
get through the gate first, collided One Of
the trucks struck the heavy gate, knocking
it down. Sans, who was sta ding lehind
it, tending the gate as day Waterman, was
knocked down with it and crushed. His
skull was fractured, one leg was broken
and he sustained internal injuries. Coroner
DIXON will hold an inquest to-day.
The old Waterman was we'll known on
the Bay. He had been connected with
cotton compress companies since 1856, at
which time Charles Wilson purchased him
from the late Alvin N. Miller, and as Sans
was practical engineer, employed him
IN running the engine of one Of
the cotton presses. When the Savau-
hdh OObOOn TeSS AsSOCldLlOn was formed
Sans was retained as day Waterman, and
he was faithful one. At one time he had
shoulder blade broken, and at another time
had an arm broken, which accidents, to
some extent, incapacitated him for more
active duty than that of a Waterman, but
be expected to run the engine of the cotton
press la night, and told his wife when he
left home not to be uneasy if he did not re-
turn IN the evening, as he expected his
services would be required as engineer.
Sans was "a years old. He leaves a wife
and several grown-up children. He be-
longed to the old school OF affabe and
polite colored men Of ante bellun days, and
was trustworthy and industr Gus man,
who commanded the respect of his en-
ployers, aud was held in high regard by the
better classes of his own race.
No arrests have followed the reckless
driving of the truck drivers The investi-
CATION by the coroner at the inquest to-day
is expected to bring out all the facts and
place the blame where it belongs
