AN EAST INDIANS TROUBLES.

He Didn't Make Returns to His Chief
and ia Now in Jail.
Justice Naughtin yesterday committed to
Jail Brownalley, an East Indian peddler, on
a charge Of larceny after trust. C. A. Vet
ter swore out the warrant on behalf Of
Frattshudden, chief OF the party which
works Savannah in the winter and goes
north in the summer. He is now at Long
Branch
Early last winter Frattehudden gave
Brownalley $500 dollars worth of
goods 10 peddle here on COM
mission, but the latter made no re-
turns. When the gang was ready to start
north Brownalley didn't report to the chief,
and Frattehudden wrote to Mr. Vetter ask
ing to have him located and arrested. De-
tectlve Wetherhorn was given the case aud
he found Brownalley living with colored
girl in Frogtown, seemingly contented.
Only about 800 worth OF the goods were
left. These Detective Wetherhorn took in
charge.
The only thing which worried Brown
alley about going to Jail is that his religion
won't let him eat what Christians cook. He
told Justice Naughtin that he could eat only
what he prepares himself, but this didn't
save him from going to jail. His religion
won't cut any figure there. II Brownalley
don't eat Jail fare his only alternative will
be to Btarve TO death.

THE ELECTRIC LINE DEAL.
THE CITY AND SUBURBAN LINES
ARE NOT IN IT.

President Johnston Does Not Think
There viii Be ANY Immediate Con
solidation-The Coast Line Likely TO
Be Bought by the City and Suburban.
The Electric Equipment Going On.
Capt. J. Fl. Johnston, president of the
City and Suburban railway, said yesterday
that he is not In any scheme to consolidate
the street railway lines Of the CITY under
one management. He had not made any
advances of the kind to the other railroads
and has had no communication from them
on the subject. He had not been approached
by any one lately Oh the subject Of oonsoli
dation.
Capt Johnston said be had no doubt that
consolidation will eventually be a necessity
with the street railroads of the city, but he
is not giving the subject any consideration
at present. he does not think it likely that
any one OF the street railroad companies
will buy the others out very soon. II any
outside party with plenty of capital wanted
to come in and buy up all the lines. Capt.
Johnston il Of the opinion that they could
do 80.
The work Of equlpping the City and
Suburban with electricity is proceeding
slowly on account OF the delay In the ar
rival OF machinery. One engine has ar
rived and has bsen put in place at the
power house. The boilers have been ia
place some time. Bills OF lading for the
balance of the machinery have been re-
ceived but the machinery itself Is arriving
very slowly.
1t will DO a month yet, Capt. Johnston
says, before the limo Is in operation by
electricity. He thinks there is no doubt
about its being completed by that time.
Capt. Johnston says the City and
Suburban is putting in power enough to
operate all the street car lines Ia the city
and more besides, so that IL 1t should take
a notion to buy out the other lines, or all
the lines should be bought up by one
syndicate. they could all be operated from
the City and Suburbans power house.
The other companies have provided only
sufficient power to run the cars on their
own lines.
The Coast Line railroad will be put up
for sale Tuesday by order Of the court.
There is little doubt that the road will be
bought by the City and Suburban or by
parties In its interest. 1t will then be
equipped with electricity and the two roads
will be operated as one line. Savannah will
then have the best street railway service of
any city In the south.
