For Brunswick Refugeea.

Those who have visited the city Of
Spartanburg, in the western part of
South Carolina, know what a beautiful
and healthy place it is. They also know
that the leading hotel of the city is the
Merchants, " and that Mr. c. c. Chase
is its accomplished proprietor. AS will be
seen by the advertisement elsewhere,
Mr. Chase cordially invites the Bruins
wick refugees TO visit Spartanburg and
make his hotel their resting place. He
promises the best of attention. and that
the rates will be commensurate with the
distressing and distressful circumstances
which force them from their homes" In
his letter TO the MORNING NEWS, Mr.
Chase says that Spartanburg ought 10
and will prove place of refuge for the
refugees. and he will also prove by the
charges made and the attention given,
that his offer is not prompted by mer-

less, many from Brunswick viii take ad-

"Alabaman Comes Next.

Alabama" will follow The Stoaway
next Monday and Tuesday nights. The
play was seen here last season and
made a great hit. 1t is thoroughly Ameri-
can in character, and, what is addition
ally pleasant, it was written by young
American, Augustus Thomas, who also is
the author of THE Burglar" "A Man of
the World" and In Mizzoura," which
has just been produced with great sue
cess by Mr.. Nat c. Goodwin.
The story of the play briefly outlined is
as follows: Mrs. Page, a widow, and
her son are threatened with ruin by their
relation, Raymond Page, who claims
their property The lady's marriage, it
appears, is disputed and until the impu-
tatiOn is proved false the fair fame of the
Pages and Col. Preston is clouded. Harry
Preston, the colOnels son, has disap-
peared before the opening of the story,
after quarrel with his old father. He
holds the proofs which might confound
Raymond Page; in the third act he re
turns to his home much changed by many
years spent in the north.
Capt, Davenport, as Harry Preston is
now known, still loves his father and
Mrs Page, the woman whom his father
once forbade him to wed. He reaches
his own home in time to see the unfolding
of his own daughters attachment to a
northerner named Armstrong, and to
prevent the girl from breaking her
graudfather's heart by clipping, for old
man Preston has not pardoned the north
il its victories. He has been ruined by
the war, which has robbed him of all but
pretty Carey. The colonel resents the
slur put on his family by Page and insults
him.
A duel between Page and Col Moberly,
who takes up the quarrel, seems likely
to grow out of the incident. But in the
last act the intervention of Harry Pres
ton averts the deed. Page is convicted of
accepting brides and forced to apologize
The old colonel opens his arms to his lost
son and consents to Carey's marriage and
Harry Preston is made happy with the
widow

AFTER THE soALPERs.
The Railroads to Try a New Deal
Against Them.

The General Passenger Agents Asso-
citation, now in session in Milwaukee, is
expected to adopt measures to break up
in a measure, ticket scalping,
At present baggage can be checked on
any ticket regardless of where the ticket
was sold. and this fact more than anv.
thing else, perhaps, has given such a
boom to the ticket scalping business, by
which hundreds of thousands of dollars
have been made by those persons through
out the country
Under the proposed change it is proba-
Bile that very serious obstacle will be
thrown in the way of this line of bust
ness. If the new rule goes into effect. a
passenger buying ticket can only have
his baggage checked to the point to which
the ticket is sold, and it can be checked
only at the point where the ticket is sold
that is, baggage cannot be checked to or
from any intermediate points.
IL IS thought that this rule will nat
urally lessen the demand for unused tick
cts, as the commercial travellers. who al
ways carry baggage, are the principal
buyers of these tickets
The railroads claim that when they sell
ticket to designated point they
agree to transport the passenger and his
baggage TO that point only.
The roads have suffered loss from an
other source, and that is through the use
OF mileage tickets for checking excess
baggage, For instance commercial
traveller has straight ticket from Savan-
nah to Atlanta. This entities him to
carry 1850 pounds of baggage. If he has
800 pounds, however, he can get ticket
scalper to loan him mileage book which
has IN 1t baggage coupons. He uses these
to check his baggage, and the mileage
book may afterward be sold to a passen-
ger who has no baggage.
1t is probable that a rule will be adopt
ed TO govern these cases, which will pro-
vide that a mileage book must be pre-
sented at the ticket Office and a one-way
limited ticket secured and coupons for
passage and baggage received by the
ticket agent, but the limited ticket will
only be good if presented with mileage
book designated by number.
The exact rule will probably be briefly
as folio VS.:
Personal baggage to the amount of not
over $50 pounds may be checked free for
each passenger holding a whole ticket,
and 20 pounds for each passenger holding
a half ticket
Baggage shall not be checked short of
destination of ticket, and shall only be
checked from points at which the ticket
is sold.
Roads are prohibited from checking
baggage on tickets issued by connecting
lines, and will only check baggage on
their own issue
Except on the return portion of round
trip tickets, baggage may be checked
from point to which it was sold, back to
selling point, under instructions as
above"

TROUBLE IN sMIrHv1LLE.
The Settlement Stirred Up by One Of
It's Residents


The village of Smithville has of late
been the scene Of so many quarrels among
its inhabitants, which are principally ne
groes, that there is no peace in the
neighborhood
Frank Houston is the disturber now.
Yesterday morning bright and early he
began quarreling, although he has been
bound over to keep the peace with several
different parties; and, for short time,
with gun in hand, he denounced the
whole street on which he lives in words
harsher than eloquent. The result
was Emma Burns. one of the women
whom he abused, came into the city and
swOre out warrant against him for a
breach Of good behavior.
When Officer Brown went out to serve
the warrant, nc found the neighbors con-
siderably worked up over the carvings
on which Houston had INDUCED in, and
they will be glad when he is punished.
Houston, however, is not the only one
who has mania for quarreling There
are plenty of others who make things
lively now and then. The day when the
evidence in the contested election III the
Fifth district was to have been heard,
there was riot among the negroes of
that place, among whom was Emma
Burns, who was one of the ringleaders
as well as a score or more of others, all of
whom were punished by Recorder Wilson

WHAT WILL BE DoNEp
Justice Reynolds Refuses to Accept
Lepinsky's Bond.


Lepinsky's Bond.
There is likely to be some trouble over
the case of Morris Lepinsky. who, it will
be remembered was arrested Monday on
warrants from Justice Elsinger's Office,
sworn out by the Bandys, charging him
with perjury in the recent cases in the
police court and subsequently before
council
The trouble is all about the bond
which LepinslIy rendered, The bond re-
quired was $500
Dan Brown, alias Dan Chinaman, was
also arrested on the same charge as Lee
plnsky Tuesday Lepinsky offered bond
but it was not accepted as the bond was
offered for both himself and Brown and
was only for $500 for both, when it should
have been 81 600. Then when it was seen
that the amount of the bond was not
sufficient to get both men out it was
decided to have Lepinsky set at liberty.
A bond of $500 was offered for the
release of LepinslSy, but as it was improp-
erly made out, Judge Reynolds refused
TO accept 1t, and sent an officer TO the
recorders court, he says, TO ask Clerk
Rebarer to have it properly filed out so
that he could accept it and release
Lepinsky, This, Judge Reynolds says,
was not done. But that is not all To
Judge Reynolds surprise he found that
Lepinsky was out on the street day be-
fore yesterday and that he had
been released by order of Acting Solicitor
General Salas. He Immediately sent a
letter to the acting solicitor, asking by
what authority he released pris-
oner from custody, who was charged with
felony, and who had rendered a bond
which was improperly made out. and
which would be worthless in the event
of the escape Of the prisoner.

CUT WITH A HAToHEr.
William Browns Head Split Open by
His Half Brother.

William Brown, colored, who lives in
Perry street lane east of Reynolds street.
was cut in the head with a Ratchet last
night about 10 o'clock by his half brother,
Edward Hopkins.
The attack grew out of a quarrel be-
tween the two men over the payment of
rent on their house. Brown, 1t seems is
the steadier of tho two men; in fact
supports the house, while Hopkins
wanted to direct affairs in the household
II seems there was someHr rent due on the
house and Brown, his mother saws,
has given all the money he made in the
last two weeks to pay the rent The
family owed some back rent, and tn at is
the cause of the whole affair
Hopkins thought that Brown did not
make good enough showing with the
money he made, and besides giving him a
lecture he told him he must pay the bal
ance of the arrearages on Saturday This
Brown objected to and O quarrel ensued
in which both used pretty strong Ian
guage. Hopkins, after getting the worst of
the talk, went into the yard, imumbling
something inaudible as he went out He
returned shortly and renewed the quar-
rel with Brown, which was stopped by
one of the sisters of Brown. That did
not end 1t, however, as Hopkins became
angry because one of the women had
spoken harshly to him and he
threatened Browns life This
Brown heard and left the house,
going to the store, but came back in
short time, thinking everything would be
quiet. After sitting on the steps for
awhile Brown went into the house and
out into the yard, where he was followed
by Hopkins, who, without word of
warning, struck him on the head with
Ratchet, cutting deep and ugly cash in
the left side, from which the blood
flowed freely. Hopkins then jumped the
fence and made good his escape. He had
not been captured up to . o'clock this
morning Nothing was heard of the af-
fair at the barracks until 10 O'Clock
Brown is in precarious condition and ii
is thought will die.

PUTTING THE YARDS IN SHAPE.
Supt. Kline's Letter to the Naval
Stores Factors.


Supt Kline of the Central railroad has
written letter to the naval stores fac
tors in answer to their communication of
several days ago announcing that the
buyers would refuse to receive naval
stores sold from the Central railroad
yards unless the yards were put in better
condition.
Supt. Kline says he has gone over the
ground in person and finds that the work
of putting the yard in proper condition
is being carried forward as rapidly as
possible. He does not think the yard
should be condemned on account of it's
having been flooded by the recent storm,
as that has never happened before He
thinks if the ward is promptly drained
and restored to the condition in which it
was before the storm, the naval stores
dealers should be satisfied
The superintendent says if this PROPOSE
ton is not satisfactory he will be glad to
confer with a committee from the naval
stores dealers and make an examination
of the yards in company with them in
order that any defects complained Of
may be remedied. He is anxious to do
everything possible he says, to promote
the interests of so important an industry
as the naval stores.
He encloses a letter from Mr. McNeely,
division superintendent in which he
states that he has begun the work Of
putting the naval stores yard in proper
condition, and is pushing it as fast as
possible.

TO DO ITS OWN LIGHTING.
The City 10 Ask the Legislature for
Authority.


The Plan to Operate an Electric Plant
in Connection with the Water
Works-To Furnish Light and Power
in Competition with other Compa-
nies-The Conduit System Proposed.
The announcement in yesterdays MoHN-
ING NEWS that a bill would be intro
duced at the coming session Of the legisla-
ture to authorize the mayor and aldermen
of Savannah to erect and maintain an
electric light plant, created considerable
comment.
Mayor McDonough said it is true that
the city intended to put in its own cleo
trio light plant. 1t now pays s2O,O a
year for its street lighting, and the mayor
said he believed it could save money by
putting in a plant Of its own.
The city will have TO almost double the
number of its lights in the next few years,
and the prospect of having 10 deal with
only one company which has a monopoly
of the electric lighting business in the
city caused steps to be taken at once to
put the city in an Independent position on
the score OF electric lighting.
THE MAYOR SURE IT WILL PAY.
''Do you think it will pay the city to
own its own plant2' the mayor was
asked.
Il do, most decidedly" he replied. eve
will be in the field for private business
and believe will secure enough to prac-
tically give the city It's lighting free"
You are going to compete with the
Brush company then"
Eyes, the Brush company will not have
a monopoly Of the field after next year
We have been considering this project Of
6
city for several months. When the Peo-
pies Electric Light and Power Company
entered the field in competition with the
Brush company the idea was dropped,
but when competition was ended by the
Brush COmpary's securing the Peoples
company il was revived | do not think
there Is much doubt that it will be car
rled to completion"
TO USE THE WATER WORKS POWER.
Mayor McDonough could not give any
estimate of the cost of an electric light
plant to the city. There is power enough
at the new water works he said 10 run the
electric light plant without the addition
of extra boilers and engines. This will
greatly reduce the cost to the city of put
ting in the plant. If the city puts in its
lighting plant it will introduce n very de-
sirable form in the way of electric wiring.
The wires will not be run overhead, but
VIII De run IN cOnuuJS under the surface
of the ground on the same system as is now
in use in New York. The result of
this precedent is likely to produce legis-
lation compelling the other electric con
Germs to put their wires under ground
also
The result will be to greatly improve
the appearance of the city and to remove
a great source of danger. Any small
wire now falling across an electric light
wire produces at once a death-dealing
agency, of which there have already been
several fatal examples in Savannah.
Another local act for the city of Savan-
nah will be introduced in the legislature.
to allow the city to collect a tax from
telephone, telegraph, railway and electric
light companies for the use of the streets
and lanes for their poles The tax will
probably be collected at the rate of so
much Oer mole
