WOUNDED BY OFFICER CRONIN.

He Tried to Kill the Officer With His
Own Club and Was Shot il self
Defense - The 44-Caliber Bullet
Passed Through Jackson's Body and
Lodged in His Arm-Jackson Was
Beating His Wife aud Defied arrest.
George jackson Ccolored) is at the Georgia
Infirmary, suffering from dangerous pistol
shot wound inflicted by Mounted Police Of
ficer Daniel J. Cronin late Saturday night.
jackson, who is a powerful man, was
beating his wife on East Broad street. near
Liberty, and Officer Cronin undertook to
arrest him. When the officer laid his hand
upon the Negroes shoulder and ordered him
to consider himself under arrest the fellow
defied arrest.
Officer Cronin drew his club to compel
submission, but he had hardly pulled 1t
from his belt before jackson grabbed it out
of his hand and aimed a blow at his head
The officer jumped back and, drawing his
large 44-cailber revolver, ordered the me-
gro to surrender.
SHOT IN SELF-DEFENSE.
Instead of complying with the demand,
jackson made rush at the officer with the
club, swearing that he would kill him. Of
flcer Cronin called to the negro that he
would shoot if he didn't stop. but the fell
low, madiened as he was by liquor, paid
no attention.
As Jackson got within striking distance
and raised the club the second time, Officer
Cronin fired. With yell of pain the negro
rolled over on the sidewalk. The ball en-
tered his breast about the center, passed
across and out through his left side and into
his arm.
jackson was carried to the barracks, and
although desperately wounded, fought
Officer Cronin the entire way. Health
Officer Brunner dressed his wound and re-
moved the bullet, after which the negro
was conveyed to the infrmary in the police
| ambulance.

ties at the infirmary reported the wounded
mans condition as poorly last night.

groes In Savannah, and because of hi
strength is constantly raising a row will

gagged In a shooting scrape with another
negro.

bravest officers on Savannah's police force
and only shot jackson in defense OF his owl
life. He was one Of the policemen used VI

SHELLS FROM BALTIMORE

To Be Used by the Street and Lane
Department for Paving.
The schooner Island City, Capt. Voor-
bees, arrived here yesterday from Balti-
more. She had on a cargo of $4,000 bushels
Of live oyster shells for the city. They are
to be used in the improving and paving Of
the streets
Heretofore, the city has employed num-
Der of the small coasting sloops and
schooners to bring shells from along toe
coast, but since the rice season set in they
have besn neglecting TO bring shells, and
have been engaged in carrying rice, so that
the small amount Of shells brought by the
odd schooners was insufficient to keep the
street and lane department supplied, hence
the cargo of the Island City.

ooLp WAVES MADE 40 oRpER
The De soto's Cold Room Where Me-
cfirv IA Down to Zero.


The De eoto's Cold Room Where Mer-
curry Is Down to Zero.
A refrigerating machine. which is q
wonder OF its kind and attracts the atten-
tion Of visitors. has just been put in opera
ton at the De Soto. BE- invitation OF Mr.. Wat.
some. Of the De Soto, party OF gentlemen,
accompanied by Mr.. A. G. Hohenstein,
builder OF the machine, inspected the ma
chime last night. The party first went into
the refrigerating rooms. There are three
OF these rooms. the main room about 20xlO
and the others about Sxl0 each. They are
lined with ice incrusted pipes.
The Thermometer in the dmain room
registered 40e, and the room felt as cold as
the air in the street during the recent cold
snap. Along the walls we're arranged the
De Sotos beef. mutton, turkeys, geese and
chickens. The next room is the freezing"
room, and it does justice to its name.
The Thermometer here was just s. above
zero. Freshly killed ducks, doves and
other game were frozen stiff.
The third room is Of milder temperature
and Is used for general purposes.
The wonder Of the whole thing Is the
simple machinery, which Is contained in a
little Sxl0 room. 1t is run by two>cylinder
single acting gas compression engine. and
the refrigeration is all supplied from a
drum OF anhydrous ammonia. The drum
contains 100 pounds OF the ammonia at a
pressure of 100 pounds to the square inch.
The pressure carries the ammonia to the
feed valve, through which it is sprayed
into the system of pipes. The expansion
OF the ammonia absorbs the heat in
the room. The pipes take up the heat and
transmit It to the gas which is passing
through them. The gas is then brought
back by the system OF pipes to the gas COM
preston, where the heat is compressed out
OF it by the cylinder pumps. 1t is carried
of by condensing water In the sewer pipe
aud the same gas is turned back into the
drum TO be led over again.
In this way the same gas is used over
again twelve or fifteen times a day.
Ono dram of anhydrous ammonia costing
about $50 will last year. By simply al
lowing the anhydrous ammonia to escape
into the room the same process OF refrigera-
ton would be accomplished. To obtain
the same amount Of refrigeration, however,
the bill for anhYdrous ammonia would be
about $500 day. This is just little more
than the De Soto is willing to pay for keep
ing things cool.
The amount of refrigeration obtained is
equal to three tons of ice per day. which is
just about the amount consumed by the De
Soto for this purpose last year.
The space cooled is about 8, 200 feet.
This is the only machine Of its kind in the
south, and there are only about forty Of the
machines in use In the United States.
The machine which accomplishes all this
only occupies space SO inches in width by
81 inches in length, and 6 feet in hight
and requires less than three horse power K
run it.

THE YOUNG MANS CHOICE.
DR.. Dowman's advice TO Young Mei
as to What They Shall Choose,

DR.. Dowman's advice TO Young Men
as to What They Shall Choose
Rev. @. E. Bowman delivered the third Of
his series of Sunday night sermons to young
men at Wesley Monumental church last
night. His subject was: THE Young Mans
Choice"
DIR. bowman chose for his text the latter
part Of the twelfth verse of Genesis xiii
Aud Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain
and pitched his tent toward Sodom." He
also added the well-known injunction of
Joshua to the lsraelites: CHOOSE Ye this
Christ to his disciples, seek We first the
kingdom of God and his righteousness, and
all these things shall be added unto YOU"
DIR. bowman discussed at length the
course Of Lot. who awaited himself of the
generous proposition of his kinsman Abra-
ham to seek out the richest portion of the
country aud TO take up his dwelling in the
rioh but wicked cities Of the plain.
He commented on the fact
that after Lots residence OF
twenty years in Sodom there could not b,
found there ten righteous men to save the
| city from the wrath of God. Lots subse-
quent shame and degradation, he said,
were the natural consequences of his i'll
made choice and subsequent conduct.
From this he pointed the necessity of care
upon the part of the young man in the
choice of home.
DIR. Bowman then dwelt upon the
choice of q trade or profession by
a young man and the necessity Of
sufficient preparation to equip him for sue
cess in his chosen calling.
The young man after settling in hi:
profession, he said, should get a wife
and he welt upon the great care necessary
In the choice Of a companion.
In conclusion DIR. bowman dwelt upor
the choice for time and eternity, the choice
for God or against, which every young maj
is compelled to make.
Dr. bowman will conclude his series o.
sermons to young men next Sunday nigh
with the subject, "The Perils of YounI
Men"
