said he heard the shooting, but had paid no

A NEW OFF.CIA SUGGESTED.
A Plan to Relieve Council of a Tedi-
GUS Job.

A Plan to Relieve Council OF a Tedi-
GUS Job.
The question of appeal from the mayors
court to the city council is being new dis
cussed among city officials. Whenever q
defendant in a case is dissatisfied with the
Judgment Of the court an appeal is taken to
council. There the lawyers come, and
often the questioning and cross questioning
not only gets heated and generally tedious,
but certainly consumes an amount ef valu-
able time that members of council would
rather devote TO other interests of the city.
1t is thought by many that this evil can
be remedied by the establishment of the
Office of recorder, similar to that in many
other cities. Then, if there is any appeal to
be made it can be carried to a higher court
without Interference with the regu-
lar duties Of the council. The above is
plan being discussed. and it is very proba-
BILE that bill Of the kind will DO introduced
at the next meeting Of council, or some
early meeting, at ANY rate. 1t has been
suggested chat the salary of such an officer
could be put at $500 or 81 200, and that
some good man could be obtained for the
position at that figure. City ordinances
already provide for the creation Of such
an Office Whenever it is deemed advisable

a NARROW ESCAPE.

Two Well-Known Citizens Almost
Run Down By a Gar.
Col. w. w. Gordon and Mr.. Luke Carson
came near meeting with a serious accident
while driving on the Thunderbolt road a teW
afternoons ago. Just where the Electric
railway crosses the she'll road there is house
which oDstruets the view of the track Ia
those driving oityward. The hsrse had
just got on 6he track when car coming at
high rate Of speed emerged into the road
way. Mr.. Carson, who was driving, pulled
the animal backward, so quickly that only
the shafts were hit by the car.
MIR. Carson and Col. Gordon state that
there was no sound of gong nor bell to indi-
cate the approach of the car. Thundsrbolt
road is the most trequented highway in the
county and is tavOrite drive for all
classes, aud recklessness in running the
electric cars across it is certain to be the
cause of serious accident some day.

LEFT ON 4 DOOR IsrEP.
A Herris Street Man Finds Babe On
His Btoop.

A Harris Street Man Finds a Babe On
His Stoop.
9-weeks old white baby was found on
the stoop of No. % Harris street last night
about IL 80 o'clock. The occupant Of the
house. Mr.. F. A. Merritt, had entered only
about ten minutes before. There WAS
nothing OF the kind to be seen when
he entered. Shortly atterward Mr.. Merritt
heard sounds as of kitten mewin0, With
the members OF his family he started an
investigation which resulted in the finding
of the little stranger upon his front steop,
neatly wrapped in a bundle Of clothing.
The babe had evidently been carefully
placed there. 1t was richly dressed and It's
nursing bottle was beside it. The clothing
left with ID was fine Evidently it was Of
no coarse parentage and its natural protec-
tors were anxious that it should fall into
good hands. 1t appeared as if the parties
who left 10 waited until Mir Merritt entered
the house and then left it there to attract
his attention.
There was no note nor any clew to indi-
cate whence or from whom It
came. Mr.. Merritt did not stop
TO make minute examination,
but notified the police barracks at once.
He said he would take care of the infant
until Monday, when he would turn it over
to the city authorities for disposal. AS
usual, in such cases. the little waif will
probably be adopted by some kind-hearted
person.

ANOTHER FIGHT ON ais HANDS.

Raedy Also Challenged for the Cham
pionship he Won Friday.
The fight between Raedy and Nc
Rae at Thunderbolt Friday seems to
have aroused the sporting blood Of
Savannah and it is occasionlng as
much talk almost as the Sullivan Corbett
contest did. Everybody in the male line
continues to discuss whether Raedy fouled
McRse or was fairly whipped. And while
this question results in some disagreement
all admit that Baedy showed himself to be
the better man.
MoRae however does not seem satisfied
with the thrashing ne received, and wants
another go at Raedy as soon as he can get
himself in condition. Raedy says he will
accommodate McRAe with pleasure, and
will endeavor to do him up worse than he
did at ThuBderbolt.
Raedy will have TO fight now to retain the
middle-weight championship of the state.
Already he has received a challenge from an
Albanian and accepted, the fight to take
place in or near Savannah within six
weeks.
Policeman T. G. Murphy, who is an adept
with the gloves, is also anxious to meet
Raedy il the officials of the department will
allow him. Policeman Murphy weighs
about 155 pounds and is one of the most
active officers on the force. de has been in
the ring before, and believes that with
few weeks training he could knock Raedy
out If the fight can be arranged the police
will make up q purse for their repre-
sentative
AT any rate the outlook is that Savan-
nahians will have an opportunity this
winter Of seeing several good prize ring
battles, and as there is no law against prize
fighting in Georgia some big fighters may
come here to hammer each other if the ring
sentiment becomes sufficiently aroused 70

Cork Payemenf.

A new material for paving is now
being introduced into London. 1t is
composed Of granulated cork and btu
men pressed into blocks, which are laid
like bricks or wood paving. The
special advantage of the material lies
In its elasticity. When used for pave
ment it gives soft tread which is ex-
ceedingly pleasant, recalling the feel
OF carpet. In roadways it furnishes
a splendid foothold for horses, and at
the same time almost abolishes the
noise which is such an unpleasant fea-
ture of city traffic. A short piece of
pavement is to be seen in Liverpool
street, E. c.; while the outlet to Pick
ford's yard in Gresham street is laid
with this material. It yet remains to
be seen how it will bear the ordinary
traffic of a London street, but there is
evidence to show that in Australia
short pieces of roadway have given
good results.

An Electric Mail Oar.

One novelty in the way of electric
traction on the st. Louis and Suburban
railway, now in successful operation in
St Louis, Mo-, is the application of
electric motors to a United States mail
car, which makes regular trips over
the entire line, distributing and collect
ing the mail at the different railway
stations, as is done on steam railways.
This car is of the same length as an
ordinary steam railway mail car, and is
equipped with double trucks with
SO inch wheel, Thomson-H Houston
motor of Is horse power capacity being
to each truck. A very high
speed is attained, and the delivery
and collection of mail is made without
stopping the car, Us in steam service.
