The superior court convened yesterday
morning, but took recess until this NOR
ing without entering into the trial of any
causes. The attorneys are preparing
their cases for the supreme court, which
will take up cases for the eastern circuit on
Tuesday.
William Fl. Carter, a colored lad, was
fined So or five days by the mayor yester-
day morning, on charge of shooting birds
In Laurel Grove cemetery the day before.
The arrest was made on Anderson street by
two mounted policemen, with the aid of
Conductor Schuman of the West Broad
street line, and created great excitement, as
the handwriting of the lad in the street car,
which was stopped for the purpose, led to
the belief that Desperate had been run
down. The students of the Haven
institute and the citizens gener-
ally were out in force, and when
Conductor Schuman went into the car with
the handouts and came out with his hand
bleeding and the handouts in his hand,
the excitement was wrought up to the
highest pitch. An officer dlsmounted, and
entering the car succeeded in putting on
the bracelets, and when it was found that
it was small boy who had caused all the
connection the crowd laughed uproariously
1t was thought by some when the two
mounted officers galloped in hot haste to
the car that the desperate Brewer had been
tracked-down. The people OF that section OF
the city have not seen much of the police, as
it has not been heretofore patroled, and the
vigilant way in which the police have
begun their initial work has inspired con-
| tidence that the territory will now be under
an efficient police protection.
There were four persons, two white and
two colored, fined for drunkenness in the
mayors court yesterday morning, the
penalties aggregatinng $34 or sixty-eight
days.

Pretty Quick Time.

Travelling Passenger agent Walter
Hawkins of the Jacksonville, Tampa and
Key West railroad, who was in the city
yesterday, said that his line has made the
fastest run ON record down in that section
of Florida
The other day, when Cornelius Vanderbilt
and his party got left at st. Augustine and
wanted to make quick run up to Jackson
vile to catch the vestibule northbound, the
Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West rail-
way delivered the party to the vestibule in
3715 minutes The distance is thirty-six
miles. The usual time for running
the trip is an hour and twenty min
utes. The special train was made up
of two parior cars and baggage car.
When the train reached Jacksonville the
vestibulo had not gone out, and the party
had few minutes to spare looking about
the city before it left for Savannah. Mr.
Vanderbilt gave the engineer, fireman and
conductor $40 bill each, and remunerated
the brakeman handsomely. He also sent a
dispatch to President Flsgler, telling him
that the run was remarkable one and as
smooth as glass.

C. Bewick g. Co., owners Of the larges.

from Hazlehurst, on the East Tennessee
Virginia and Georgia railroad, to point
on the Brunswick and Western railroad, a
distance of seventy miles. A large portion
of the road is graded, and work is being

The road passes through good section of

Hazlehurst is only short distance down

and the trade will naturally flow this way.
At present the line is being operated in the
interest Of the lumber men, but upon its
completion it will be used for both passenger

The General Passenger Agents to Meet
in Mexico Next Week

in Mexico Next Week.
The trip of the general passenger agents
of the United States and Canada TO Mexico
this week promises to be one Of the most in
teresting evor made by that body OF rail-
readers. Several excursion parties viii be
made up from different parts of the United
States and Canada for the trip.
The Chicago and Alton railroad and the
Missouri Pacific railroad will give an ex-
cursion tomorrow to Mexico The train
will start from Chicago. and will go via st.
Louis, FL Paso, Hot Springs, and then down
into Mexico. The train will be made up of
twelve cars, and will carry 1900 people.
The Richmond and Danville will give an
excursion also, the train leaving Washing
ton tomorrow, going via Birmingham,
New Orleans, FL Paso, then down into
Mexico. The third train will go from
Jacksonville. 1t will carry the Florida
contingent, and will be under the direction
of the Savannah, Florida and Western rail-
way and the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key
West railroad. 1t will go by Mobile, New
Orleans, Ell Paso, to Mexico.
There are $50 general passenger agents in
the. United States and they expect to be sup
plemented by the agents from Canada.
They will be out on the excursion about
three weeks.
The meeting will be held in the City of
Mexico, and after it is concluded excursions
will be made over the Mexican country,
and the agents, their families and their
friends viii be shown every part of the land
Of the Montezumas
Many important measures are expected
TO come up at this meeting, but the business
OF the trip Is not expected to take up more
than three or four days. Officers of the
association will be elected. 1t has been a
long time since a general passenger agent
representing a southern road was elected to
the presidency of the association. The last
southern representative to hold that position
was a general passenger agent of the Rich
mond and Danville railroad.
Georgia has never had a representative
Although she has two or the largest rail-
roads in the south, both of which have their
terminus here, she has not been honored
with the presidency. e. I. Charlton repre-
sents the Central Of Georgia in that capacity
and William NJ Davidson is the general
passenger agent of the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway. Both are admirable
gentlemen. Either OF these gentlemen
would make excellent presidents and would
give tone to the association in its southern
district. To put either one of them at the
head of it would honor the southern rail-
road world and reflect credit upon the
Georgia contingent. No more capable men
than they certainly could be suggested as
candidates.
Savannah is anxious to see one or the
other of its G. P. AS placed at the head of
affairs.

ANNIE LEE MLAws DEAD.
A Bright Young Life Ended and Sor-
row Rrnn1ht 10 Many Haarta

A Bright Young Life Ended and Sor-
row Brought TO Many Hearts.
Miss Annie Lee McLaws died few min
utes after O'Clock last night, after an ill
ness of nearly four weeks, from typhoid
malarial fever. Her death will bring sad
ness to many hearts.
Miss McLaws was % years old, and was
the eldest daughter of Gen. and Mrs Lafay-
cite McLaws. She was a young lady of
lovable disposition, and a favorite with
nearly every one to whom she was known.
She graduated from the Savannah high
school four years ago, and for two years
has been teacher in the Chatham acad-
envy grammar school.
Her death, although not unexpected, came
with a terrible suddeuess to her parents and
to her devoted brothers and sisters. Her
illness was. from the first, severe. Consul
tations of physicians we're held last week
and every effort was made to stay the dis
ease. Saturday she showed signs of i'm
provement and Monday she was so much
better that it was believed that
the crisis was past. Monday night
a relapse occurred, and from then she sank
until she died. She was unconscious during
the last days Of her illness, and death came
as peacefully as sleep.
The funeral will take place from st.
Johns church at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon,

The Suwapnee Route.

Traffic Manager A. G. Knapp of the
Georgia Southern and Florida railroad said
the other day at the Southern Passenger
Associations meeting in Jacksonville that
his road is hurrying the Macon and Bir-
mingham railroad through, and before long
the new road from Macon to Florida will
have a direct route to the west. The line
from Macon to Birmingham is 225 miles,
and from Macon TO Palatka, the present
terminus Of the Georgia Southern and
Florida railroad, it is 285 miles. The traffic
manager said that the "Suwannee route"
from the west to Florida is the shortest and
best equipped road in tie country. The
track to Florida is not all laid, but it
will be within the next few days.
He added that the Georgia Southern and
Florida railroad contemplates building a
short line to Townsville, branching off
from the main line at the nearest point to
Townsville. This short line, he said, will
give additional business to the main line.
1t will open new territory, and induce
passenger traffic to the Georgia resort.
