Ground was broken on the electric rail-
way company's line yesterday. A large
force Of hands was put on and rapid
progress was made. Work was begun on
Price street, at the south side of Broughton,
and the roadbed was excavated from
broughton south to Hull street. The
average depth Of the excavation was about
ore foot. The street crossings at the inter-
sections Of streets and lanes were not torn
up but were left intact. Over fifty laborers
are engaged in excavating the roadbed,
boring rails and laying them and timber
along the track
The excavation of the roadbed will be
pushed directly south to Gwinnett street.
Track-laying will begin in a few days.

Pea Growers Pleased With the Out
look OF the Crop.
Truck handlers say that the crop this
year promises to be unusually fine, but that
1t is much smaller than last years crop.
Peas are very fine. They are coming on
rapidly, and daily shipments will soon be
made. Peas are enc of the truck farmers
largest crops, and 1t is estimated that there
are over 800 acres in that crop alone In
Chatham county.
1t is estimated that there are about $50
acres in cabbage. The cabbage crop Is very
fine for SO early in the season, and ship
ments will probably begin by the middle of
next month.
The potato acreage is much smaller than
last year on account of the high price of
seed, the seed potatoes alone averaging SIS
per barrel. One Of the largest truck farm
ers in this section bSught 500 barrels of seed
potatoes at cost of $4,000 His seed bill
for this season win be about 0,0o0 for all
varieties Of seed. He plants about 400
acres
Well-posted men estimate the potato
acreage this year at about LOCO acres or
less, which Is much less than is usually
planted.
As the Florida acreage of potatoes is said
to be much smaller this year than last, on
account of the high price of seed, potatoes
will probably be high this spring. Some of
the farmers may wish they had invested
little more in seed

4 rAx-PAYBR's VIEW
OF the Proposition to Build q Road I
Isle OF Hope.

OF the Proposition to Build Road to
Isle OF Hope.
Editor Morning Nelcs: / would like to
reply TO "A Citizen" in Tuesday, issue of the
MORNING NEWS. fully agree with him as
to the opening Of streets, and cannot under
stand why council delays in this matter.
Savannah is growing rapidly, and every
some street extended will do so and build a
house, expecting TO get fabulous price out
OF the city in the near future.
II the city had only secured the streets a
few years ago when lands were low,
what vast amount Of money would
have been saved; and unless the pres
emit council takes some immediate steps
in that direction the taxpayers will
have to pay dearly for the priv
tege later on. Bull street ought to be opened
and the toll gate moved beyond the city
limits. Land is increasing in value daily,
and there is nothing to be gained by wait
ing.
But when It comes to making the tax
payers build a she'll road for pleasure
driving at q cost of $50, 900 to $50, 900, and q
yearly expense Of several thousand dollars
for shell and the labor Of keeping it up, I
must disagree with "Citizen."
Our taxes are high enough now, and IL
streets with the money appropriated for
that purpose we will be satisfied for the
present.
Chatham county no doubt could buy both
shell roads and make public roads Of them,
nut the expense of keeping them in their
present condition would be enormous.

quiet way. To-day win bs devoted en-
tirely 70 the big main. The fights will
begin at IL o'clock and will continue late in
the afternoon.
Solicitor General Fraser, in looking up
the code yesterday, discovered a mistake
which makes the section RELAXING to Geek
fighting practically a dead letter. The
sport is made misdemeenor, but no pun-
ishment is prescribed. which makes it use
less. The solicitor said that he cannot un-
derstand how the thing occurred, and he
thinks Chathem's representatives should
have the matter righted at the next session
Of the Legislature. The law is as follows:
The General Assembly OF Georgia do enact:
any person or persons who shall for sport or
gaming purposes, fight. or cause &c fight. any
chickens. cocks or other fowls, or who shall
maint in. keep. or carry on any cockpit or
other similar place for the fighting of chickens,
cocks or other fowls or who shall bet, wager
or stake any sum OF money or other thing OF
value on the result Of any such fight or CONTEXT
in this state, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor,
and on conviction thereof shall be punished as
prescribed in section sT25 Of the Code of Georgia
of 1854
Be it further enacted that all laws and parts
Of laws in conflict with act be, and the same
are hereby repealed. Approved November II,
1889.
Below is section 4725, which any person at
glance caa see was never intended to be
inserted. as it does not in any way relate to
punishments:
Duty CT person arresting-In every case of
an arrest without warrant, the person arrest
ing shall without delay carry thu offender be-
fore the most convenient Officer authorized to
rscsive an affidavit and issue warrant. And
no such imprisonment shall be lsEal beyond a
reasonable time allowed for the purpose
Section 47o5 was what it should have been.
Under this state Of affairs there is no posi-
bic way Of prosecuting the sports, much to
the disappointment of the solicitor general.

F0RGERIES LOOMING UP.

The Firms Notes to the Amount OF
Several Thousand Dollars, With
Forged Endorsements, Held in S.van-
nah-Mr. Bowling Having Trouble
In Winding Up the Defunct Firms
Affairs-Leon Phillips Whereabouts
Unknown.
The Phillips Bros failure developed an
sntirely new feature yesterday. A forgery
has been discovered, but who the guilty
party Is has not yet been found out.
Warren & Arson hold a note for 1900
from Phillips Bros, with several indorse-
ments, among them those Of ". +. Sweat
and A. P. Wade OF Ware county. These
gentlemen were in the city yesterday, and
on being shown the note promptly pro-
nounced the endorsements forgeries, neither
one having signed his name to the paper.
Other notes, among them one TO Henry
Hirsch for 81 900, which was paid by John
E. Downing. also bore the Endorsements Of
Messrs. Wade and Sweat, which were like
wise declared forgeries.
Both gentlemen are highly inceased over
tie affair, and if they can find out who
committed the forgeries they will prosecute
him TO the full extent of the law. Alec
e6uiOF Oh bue ldto II III the
city, but hs denied any knowledge of the
forgery.
Mr.. Bowling is experiencing great Diff
Guilty in winding up the affairs OF the de-
funct firm. The book accounts held by him
represent nearly $4,000 About half Of
these are disputed, aud large amount Of
the remainder will have to be sued. as they
have been garnisheed by other creditors.
About $500 of the debts are outside Of the
city, and Mr.. Bowling is receiving replies
to his statements nearly every day announc-
ing that the bills have been settled. This
state of affairs will probably lead to con-
siderable trouble in case any of the ac-
counts have been collected by Phillips Bros.

Mr.. Bowling said yesterday that he had
been informed that about $40 had been COL
lected by the members of the firm since he
took charge Of the book accounts, and il he
finds this TO be true ne will bring criminal
action against the Phillips.
j. Leon Phillips whereabouts are I'M
known, but several of the creditors are
anxious to get sight of him long enough to
to lay their hands upon him. Mr.. Dswling
regrets very much that he dismissed the
charges against him aAd released him from
jail, as he thinks recent events prove that
Phillips was not worthy of any considera-
ton.

LITTLE EVA is A WONDER.
The Mccoy Girl GIVES a Remarkable
Exhibition OF Mind Reading.
From the Neio York Continent.

From the New York Continent
Members Of the press were invited to
attend an "impromptu reception" at Prof.
Herrmann's cozy little theater Yesterday
afternoon. The professor took advantage
OF the occasion to introduce Miss Eva
Mccoy, only IL years old, as q prodigy in
mind reading. Miss Eva comes from De-
trolt, where Prof. Hermann discovered her
wonderful powers two years ago.
A number of tests were given which were
very satisfactory, and $ emed to prove that
Eva was all she claimed TO be. The first
test was thought reading in a language I'M
known to the child. Letters of the Alpha
bet in metal were placed upon the table in
disorder, and by placing the hand of the
person thinking upon the letters, she readily
spelled out the foreign words.
A test called mental photography fol-
lowed. which consisted in impressing upon
the chiids mind the features thought of by
another. This proved some what difficult.
Reporter Walsh could not keep the GENTLE
man whom he was thinking of photographed
sufficiently long upon his mind without get
ting the photograph mixed with the face of
one of the youEg ladies of the Bernhardt
company who was sitting in the front row.
Reporter Hoy was better subject for the
little girl. Walking about and locating the
person thought of while blindfolded, she re-
moved the handkerchief and pointed to him
at once.
In reading the combination of a safe she
learned that 1S-40-S opened one safe, while
Reporter Kellen, she found, had IN his mind
the cabalistic figures 4-11-44
The reading of music from the mind of
another was accomplished successfully
through M. d'Armon Of Nine. Bernhsrdt's
company, whose fingers were placed upon
the proper keys of the piano, while he
thought out a portion of the 'MarseilIaise."
The final test seemed to prove that Miss
Eva does not rely upon muscle reading, a
theory advanced by some for these perform
ances. as she was able to discover pin hid
den in the cane seat Of a chair while two
persons were between her and the party
hiding it, all Joining hands No collision
could possibly have occurred, for the news
paper men were all about the stage at every
moment Of the exhibition.
