IN JAIL FOR COW STEALING.
A Negro and White Butcher Charge,
With the Theft.

A Negro and White Butcher Charged
With the Theft.
c. c. Clark, an engineer on the Central
railroad, had fine COW stolen in May.
Vincent Trouel, a young mulatto, and
Bob Alfeldt, a white butcher in the north
ern portion of the city, are in jail, Vincent
for stealing the COW and Alfeldt for COM
plicity in the theft.
Ii appears that after stealing the COW
Vincent sold ner to Alfeldt for So Alfeldt
butchered the animal in a manner calcu-
lated to attach suspicion to himself. Dave
Mills, colored man in Alfeldt's employ,
and Charles Eushin, a white boy, were sent
with Vincent TO do the Strengthening. Vim
cent cut off the cows ears, which bore
Clark's mark, and threw them away, which
aroused Rushins suspicion and made him
believe the COW was stolen.
Rushin knew Clark, and, hearing some
time afterward that he had lost a COW, he
told him of the COW which Alfeldt had
bought of Vincent, and gave him descrip-
tion of the animal and the circumstances of
the killing. This put CLARK on the track,
and he began ADMINISTRATION, which ended
in the arrest of Vincent Trouel Saturday
night and Bob Alfeldt Sunday morning.
Both were committed to jail in default Of
bond.
Afeldt has secured the services of w. P.
LaRoche, and will have an investigation
before Justice MclDermott this afternoon.
Vincent bears the reputation of being a
notorious and skilIful thief, but has hitherto
escaped the clutches Of the law.

Pure Water.

An article in the Times Of the 9th states
that some of our citizens send away for
spring water for drinking purposes Why
should they do this when by the use of one
of Pastsur's Germ Proof Filters the river or
artesian water can be made absolutely pure
aud wholesome!
This is new invention by the celebrated
French physician after whom it is called.
The water is forced through a number of
porcelain tubes. which are so arranged as to
be protected from the least danger Of con-
tamination, as it passes directly from the
hydrant. Physicians and others interested
are invited to inspect it's workings at the
crookery house of james s. Silva, where all
information will be cheerfully furnished.

HOT WEATHER COMING AGAIN.

The Temperature to Go Up a Peg
To-day.
Yesterdays weather was almost repeti-
ton of that of the day before The northern,
northeasterly and middle Atlantic states
were equally favored, but the west and the
Mississippi and Ohio valleys suffered.
Cities in the hot section reported temper
atures as follows: Cleveland, O., 90; Gin
cinnati 98', Kansas City 100, Davenport,
Ia. go. Chicago go, Memphis 900, Rio
Grande 1922.
The weather was generally hot in the
South Atlantic states, but not excessively
So Along the coast the temperature was
much lower than In the interior. Savan-
nahs maximum, for instance, was four
degrees below the average for the entire
cotton district. At Savannah the maxi
mum was So. Charleston reported So,
Wilmington So and Norfolk S2a.
The interior cities reported as follows
Atlanta So, Augusta 92', Montgomery 92',
Jacksonville 900. Savannah was the only
cotton region district in this section in
which the average of temperature was
above So. The Mississippi valley districts,
however, reported from go TO 96e average.
The Savannah district was pretty hot
and Gainesville was the hottest place in the
district, with a maximum of 9S. AS q
matter Of course Savannah was the coolest.
The average of the district was 93'. Sa-
vannah had a mean temperature OF So
which was five degrees below normal. 1t
was not cool day by any means, though
The country at large may expect warmer
weather now. 1t will be fair along the
South Atlantic coast and probably warmer

poles, at 81 so per pole, for the electric
wires to operate the Belt Line by electric
motive power, and he says that il is ex-
pected that all the poles will be delivered
within six or eight weeks, and it is the in
tsntion to put them up as fast as they are
delivered. He says there will be several
changes in the switches Mr.. Rhea, who
returned 20 Nashville last Saturday, is ex-
pected to be in Savannah Thursday or Fri
day, bringing with him expert linemen to
superintend the erection of the poles and
the placing Of the wires in position.
President W. @. Cooper of the Belt Line
says that all the details for the purchase of
the equipment will be completed within
week or ten days Estimates have been in
vited from the Thomsoa-Houston, the West
inghouse and the Sprague electric motor
systems. Mr.. Cooper says that the factories
which manufacture electric machinery are
kept busy filling orders. and il will be the
aim to consider the promptneSs in filling
the order as much as the system, as
1t is the desire to get the Belt Line in
operation by electricity at the very earliest
possible date Ii is understood that the
Brush Electric Light and Power Company
OF this city want to bid on furnishing the
electric power, and it the estimate sub
United should be acceptable an engine plant
would not have to be put in by the Belt
people, otherwise it is understood that a
Phenix engine plant will be purchased by
the railroad company.
The Cincinnati Enquirer of Sunday says:
1t is impossible for the factories to meet
the demand for electrical supplies, and they
are months behind on orders. Every city
wants electric roads now, and Boston alone
is keeping one big firm busy supplying its
demand"

THE NEW CITY CLOCK.

II Will Probably be Telling the Time
by Friday.
Alderman w. G.. Cam was watching the
painters putting new coat of paint on the
dials of the old clock in the city exchange
tower when a MORNING News reporter in
quired when the new clock will be started.
I'VE want to have it going by Friday"
Mr.. Cam replied. 1--WE did not at first
contemplate painting the dials, but con-
Guided that it would be too severe a con-
trast, and so the dials are to have
three coats of paint. One is being put on
to day, and the others ought to be put on
tomorrow. The clock men say that if they
can go to work Wednesday putting on the
new figures the clock can be started on Fri
day."
what about trying the plan of hooded
electric lights to illuminate the dialsp
1--WE will wait and see how the plan works
on the court house clock, and if feasible we
may illuminate the eastern, western and
southern dials by that method
"What is to be done with the old clock ~
1--WE haven't determined yet. We are
offered 500 for it and will probably let it
go. 1t is pretty much worn out. We are
told that it might be patched up and run a
year or two, which would not justify the
expense"
"Do you expect to paint the city exchange
tower?"
mo. 1t wouldn't harmonic with the
rest of the building / think it probable
that next year the city buildings will be
more literally provided for"
Mr.. Cam expressed the further opinion
that the city exchange will have to be re-
placed by new building in few years, if
it is not sold. 1t has been suggested that il
would be desirable piece of property for
tha Gnukh d.,

Frightened Out of His Wits.

When No. 8 engine anchored near the
hydrant on Farm street at the fire yester-
day morning, and was getting down to
work, a little negro looked down out Of a
second story window to see what was the
matter. The firemen had just thrown
open the oven door, and the blaze
of light, combined with the roar
Of the engine, so frightened the boy,
who was Just about half awake, that he

striking the pavement below. The firemen
were too busy 60 see whether he was hurt
or not, but his mother had to pick him up
and carry him back into the house.

TO BUILD A CLUB HOUSE.
The Guards to Have Their Own Quar-
ters at Tybee

JoT5 bU AyD66.
The Guards held well-attended meeting
last night. The principal business was the
question of buying lots and building a
club house at Tybee 1t was decided to
buy the lots and build the club house. The
lots are Nos. 95 and SO, fronting the beach
Just below the Hotel Tybee, with a sea
front of 100 feet and depth OF $500 feet.
1t was decided to raise the purchase
money for the lots by subscription among
the members, and to build the club house
by issuing scrip to be taken by the members
OF the battalion.
The plans for the club house have
not yet been decided upon,
The idea is to build house somewhat
similar to the Chatham Artillery club
house. but somewhat larger, with dancing
pavilion and convenient rooms for enter
tanning.
The members who were seen last night
could not say what the cost would be, but
did not think they could build the house
and fit it up for less than $4,000 1t will
be some time yet before the contract is
given out, but the building will be COM
plete and ready for occupancy by the open
ing of next season.
