The Macon Telegraph says the Georgia
Southern and Florida railroad has on its
hands what may prove to be one of the live
lest and most complicated damage suits
ever brought against a road in this state.
Adam Arnold, negro fireman employ ed on
the Georgia Southern, was killed at the
recent wreck at Triton. One Of the dr1v-
ing wheels passed over one of his legs,
nearly severing it from the body. He
was otherwise badly hurt, and died
within two or three hours. Seven weeks
before his death, Arnold married Lou
Searcey, a mulatto woman employed as q
stewardess at the union passenger depot at
Macon. The woman is part Indian, and Is
quite intelligent. She had every reason to
believe that he was single before she mar
rled him. When his dead body was brought
home to her, she had no idea that her grief
would be shared by another wife. While
Lou was revolving in her mind the amount
of damages that she ought to sue the road
for to recompense her for causing her
husbands death, she heard the start
ling rumor that there would be
another claimant for damages. 1t is stated
Albany, has fled a suit for $40 900 against
the Georgia Southern railroad for the death
of "her husband, Adam Arnold, who was
killed at the recent wreck at Tifton.n 1t Is
eaid that Arnold has wife at Kizer, n. G.
She has not, up to date, fled her suit for
damages, but nobody would be surprised
now il she did.

licitor General Fraser Leading Fight
on Violstors of the sunday Law.
The crusade against Sunday liquor selling
Is extending, and the man who will be able
10 secure alcoholic drinks within the limits
Of Chatham county hereafter on the Sab
bath viii have to be mighty clever.
Solicitor General Fraser has issued the
edict that both Thunderbolt and Tybee
saloonkeepsrs must obey the Sunday laws.
he has become tired Of seeing crowds of
people going to the suburban resorts on
Sun day and coming back TO the city in an
intoxicated condition, ready to violate any
law or commit any crime.
Complaints Of the disorderly conduct OF
the crowd which has been ia the habit OF
visiting Thunderbolt on Sunday to indulge
in drinking since Mayor McDonough closed
up the bars of the city have become SO loud
that the solicitor deter mined 20 stamp out
the evil, IL the machinery of the law would
have that wholesome effect.
INDICTED BY THE GRAND JURY.
Tuesday afternoon he brought the atten-
ton OF the grand jury to the evil, and as
result two special presentments each were
handed In against Henry Ambos, B. VIII
son and I. II. Enright. Yesterday the case
against Ambos and Wilson were called for
trial, and both pleaded guilty TO the indict-
ment Judge Falligant fined each $3.50 and
costs.
Solicitor General Fraser said that he de-
sires to put the saloonkeepers of the sub
urban resorts on notice that he is not going
to allow them to trihe with the laws Of the
state. The paying Of a fine, he said, does
not give them the privilege of renewing the
trade, and every time one is caught violat-
ing the Sunday law he will be punished Sc
verely. The solicitor intends If necessary
to put men on watch at Thunderbolt TO re-
port further violations.
TO WAGE WAR ON TYBEE.
"Thunderbolt," said Mr.. Fraser, sis not
the only place to be looked after, either.
Tybee will be given her share Of attention,
and If any one is found violating the liquor
law at that resort on the Sabbath he will be
dealt with in like manner to those of Thur
derbolt or any other place within the limits
OF Chatham county"
II am not trying to persecute any one,
said the solicitor general, 'but / propose
to have the laws of the state obeyed as long
as hold office. have no personal feeling
in the matter, but the public good demands
that this abominable traffic in liquor on
Sunday shall be stopped, and / propose to
do my share in stopping it.
The case against Enright will be tried
some time next week.

CIGARETTES NOT FOR BOYS.
Two Shopkeepers Fined 500 APIECE
for Selling to Minors.

Two Shopkeepers Fined 500 Apiece
for Selling to Minors.
Solicitor General Fraser has begun a
crusade against the selling of cigarettes to
minors. and one man in Savannah at least
knows that the law on the statute book in
this regard is not a dead letter. The first
conviction for the offense in Chatham
county, and probably the first In the state,
occurred yesterday in the superior court.
Charles Ohsiek, a Gerrpru shopkeeper,
was the convicted. A little chap named
Willie Warner testified that he bought q
package of cigarettes in Ohsiek's place
March z. The case did not last long. r. r.
Richards, ESQ.,, defended Ohsiek, aud
Solicitor General Fraser made but few re-
marks in prosecuting besides reading the
law. The jury did not deliberate over ten
minutes in finding the defendant guilty.
Judge Falligant fned Ohsiek 500 and
costs.
Thomas Samson, the Greek fruit dealer at
Broughton and Barnard streets, was the
next to face jury on like charge Moses
White, a newsboy, testified that he had
bought cigarettes from Samson's place sew
eral times, but was not able to give dates,
Samson said he had never sold cigarettes
to minors since the law was passed, and had
instructed his clerks never to sell cigarettes
to boys, and if it was done it was without
his knowledge.
Walter G. Charlton, ESQ.,, defended Sam.
son, and the jury acquitted him in a few
minutes, evidently considering the evidence
too fiimsy.
Herman Hesse was also charged with a
similar offense, but Solicitor General
Fraser had to mol. prose. the case on account
of the witness going back on him. The boy
testified before the grand jury that he had
purchased cigarettes from Hesse, but when
brought up yesterday said he was mistaken
and that Hesse wasn't the man at all.

TO PUT IN MET lRS.

The Councils Remedy for the Waste
OF Water by Consumers.
The water committee of council has intro
duced an ordinance to give it authority to
put in meters wherever there is an unneces-
sary waste Of water. The ordinance will be
voted on at the next meeting of council.
Alderman Cam, chairman of the COM
mittee, said yesterday that the rate to be
charged per gallon, provided the ordinance
becomes a law, has not yet been fixed, as it
requires considerable figuring to arrive at a
conclusion.
The committee considers that the putting
in of meters is the only way to protect the
city against q waste for which no reason
can be assigned but carelessness on the part
of the consumers. The question is a very
important one, particularly as summer Is
drawing near, time when the works will
be taxed to their utmost to supply the de-
mand.
