The cool snap is over. Fair and warm
er" is the prediction for to-day. Yesterday
was somewhat warmer than the day pre-
vious, but the mean was still 100 below the
normal for the day. The maximum tenn
perature was 71e and the minimum 54s.
The board of trade was the recipient. of
a handsome center table and thirteen chairs
fer the board of directors rooms, yesterday.
The gift was from Isaac G. Haas, ex-presi-
dent Of the board, and was gracefully
acknowledged by President D. G. Purse.
The market basement has become so re-
markedly quiet since the special policemen
were put on duty there as to be the subject
Of general comment. The change ia very
satisfactory to the city's tenants in the
market and other residents Of the neighbor-
hood.
The 3:o6 Tvbee train ran out of fuel yes
terday near Furber's point and had to come
to a dead stop for nearly half an hour
until the train hands cut up old crossties to
get up steam enough to proceed to the
south end. Axes were borrowed from q
neighboring house to do the job. Many of
the passengers left the train and walked to
the hotels. 1t locked like the days of primo
tive railroading to stop along the route to
chop fuel, and the conductor and engineer
were subjected to lots of good-natured
puYlnR.

PUSHING RIGHT AHEAD.
sEABoARO PEOPLE MAKE A TRIP
OVER T5EIR ROAD.

They Are Pleased With Everything.
The Middle Georgia and q tlent.c Do
ing a Fine business Fe,wesn EstOn-
ton and Machen-The Work Between
Machen and Gown gtou-The Extsn-
sion to Tennille to Be Built at O1cs.
The gentlemen who are interested in the
Seaboard Construction Company returned
yesterday from their visit to Eatonton,
where they went to inspect the Middle
Georgia and Atlantic railroad They went
over the road from Eatonton to Maohen.
As is already known the Middle Georgia
and Atlantic is completed from
Eatonton to Machen, a distance Of
about forty miles, and four daily trains
are now running over this 1rtion of the
road.
Mr.. William Kehoe, who was one Of
the inspecting party, said to a representa-
tive Of the MORNING News last night that
the people interested IN the Seaboard Con>
struction Company are we'll pleased with
their purchase. The road runs through
most prosperous and thickly settled part
of Georgia, and a profitable business
is now being done over the line from Eaton
ton TO Machen
The road from Machen TO Coving-
ton is graded and is ready for the iron,
and it is proposed to complete it at
once, which will give a short line from At
lanta over the Georgia railroad to Eaton
ton. As soon as that portion OF the road Is
completed the line viii be extended east
wardly to Tennille, to connect with the Gem
trail railroad at that point.
The Seaboard Construction Company has
absorbed all other interests In the Middle
Georgia and Atlantic railroad. All claims
of contractors and liens and loans on az
count Of the old construction company have
been hquidated. From this 1t appears that
the Seaboard company has set to work In
earnest TO build this short line from Atlanta
to Savannah

AN AIRLINE TO BLUFFroN.
A Railroad to be Built From Back
River to Colleton City.

A Railroad to be Built From Back
River to Colleton City.
Ex-senator Robertson Of Beaufort county,
South Carolina, was in the city yesterday
He was here for the purpose of seeing about
rights Of way for a railroad from Savannah
to Bluffton and then to Colleton City.
He stated that the project is to build a road
from some point on Back river, north of
Hutchinson's Island, in an airline to Bluff
ton, crossing New river mile or two below
the bridge, on the old Charleston stage
road.
The distance from Back river to Button
is about fifteen miles and from thence to
Coleton city about eight miles. Mr..
Robertson said that it is proposed ulti-
mately to build a bridge across Back river
and use the terminal facilities Of the Sea-
board company. He said the immense
amount of business that will come to this
section by means of the new railroads that
are being built will necessitate the utilizing
of all the port facilities in this vicinity, and
railroad to Button and Coleton would
be beneficial to Savannah.

but asked the man operating the saw to lot

move his hand IN time. Three of the fin
gers were left hanging, and the bones we're
sawed completely through. The injured

TO PREVENT RUNAWAYs.

Another Effort to Secure Law
Against Leaving Horses Unhitched.
The necessity for law requiring the
hitching Of horses when left unattended in
the streets, has been made more apparent
than ever by the half dozen runaways that
have occurred within a short while, one of
which resulted in the killing of child, an
other the killing of horse, and all of them
causing damage and imperilling the lives Of
pedestrians.
Horses are left by their drivers in the
streets to stand half an hour, and sometimes
an hour, at a time. Frequently they are
found block or so away from where they
are left, and, being unfastened and with no
driver, are likely to be frightened and run
away, smashing whatever is in their path
and endangering the lives and property of
hundreds Of people
The runaway day before yesterday on
Wheaton street, in which a horse was killed.
and the one on Bull street and through
johnson square, which tore down the tree
boxes and cut up the square, might
have been averted had the horses
been hitched when left standing
The fatal runaway on Henry street three
weeks ago was also due to leaving a horse
unattended.
Alderman Bailey introduced an ordinance
in the city council recently requiring horses
to be hitched wherever there are hitching
posts, but 1t failed to pass, nearly
every member of the council vot-
ing against it. Alderman Bailey will
introduce probably at the next meeting
another ordinance requiring the hitching
OF all horses when left without drivers, to
posts by straps or by weights of sufficient
size to prevent their running away
There are few cities where horses are
allowed in the streets without being prop
erly secured, as they are IN Savannah. The
frequent results OF such carelessneSs in the
damage to property and danger 10 life are
criminal, and there is little doubt that the
council will take steps to prevent Their re-
currence by such means as it is able to use

Want the Cisy's Officers Elected.
A petition is being circulated for sigma
lures to be presented to the next session Of
the legislature to change the law regarding
the election Of all important city officers.
The plan is for the clerk of council, city
marshal, city treasurer, chief of police and
chief OF fire department elected by the peo-
pie instead of by the board of aldermen.
Who started the movement does not seem
to be generally known. Many people have
signed them and many have refused to sign
them. II the petitions are presented TO tho

petitions will be presented. 1t is a similar
