CUT The ELECTRIC WIRES.
The Brush Company Robbed by One
Of Its Employees.

Whole Lengths of Copper Wire Out
Down From the Streets and Sold to
Junk Men-The Robbery Detected
and Trap Set for the THETA Line
man Who Wanted to Get Even With
the Electric Company.
Detective Wetherhorn received notice
yesterday from Sheriff n. B. Broward,
of Duval county, Fla, of the capture of
William Wright former lineman for the
Brush Electric Light Company, of this
city, and who was wanted on charge of
robbery or larceny.
The history of Wright's case is a pecu-
liar and interesting one. He is a negro,
about So years old, and weighs about $50
pounds. He was employed until a little
over month ago as a lineman for
the Brush company, Of this city, and for
awhile worked well. He was discharged
for some offense about that time, and
took out his grudge against the company
for some time by stealing electric light
wire belonging to them. He retained his
apparatus which enabled him to climb
the company's poles, and he would go up
them at any hour Of the day, Just as if he
were in the employ of the company, and
cut down lengths of the wire, which he
would take off and sell
This grew to be quite annoying but for
some time the company could not locate
the thief Something over three weeks
ago he laid out his operations on,Duffy
street, and about the middle of the day
took down the copper wire of the electric
light circuit on that street from Jefferson
to Abercorn. This he coiled up and en-
deavored to dispose of. He was caught
up with ON this deal, however. and had
TO keep quiet. He found that the author
tiles were after him, as a warrant had
been sworn out for his arrest on a
chargeof robbery at Justice Naughtins
court. The officers had him located at
one time, but he was too sharp and got
away.
He was finally traced to Jacksonville
and plan was laid to catch him without
going to the trouble of getting requisi-
ton. His presence was made known to
the Western Union people there and the
plan was to have him come out as a line
man until he reached Georgia soil, where
he was to be captured and brought
back to Savannah. He had applied
for employment, but was too sharp to
let the ARRANGEMENTS made for his cap
ture be carried out. He would not come
into Georgia, as be knew he would be
caught as soon as he came to a station
where it was known he was wanted.
Failing in this plan the detective here
made known his presence there to the sher-
in of Duval countp, who soon had him in
jail. Officer Lilienthal, of Justice Naugh-
tins court, left for Jacksonville last night
to bring him back, he having agreed to
come to Savannah without requsition.

STREET SCENES.
A Saturday in Savannah Notwith
standing the Weather.
Thirteen for dime"


Thirteen for 4 dime"
"Great big bananas"
The cry was heard all over the streets
last night, and people who seldom eat
fruit carried home bakers dozen.
All fruit is cheap just now, except chen
fruit Well, it's Christmas times and
eggs are eggs these days.
The people are coming out to see the
sights. The rain yesterday, of course,
was diSagreeable but even the ladies
were out. They could not afford to miss
seeing the handsome displays at the
stores, and, besides, they had business up
town.
Every lady in the city is familiar with
the street car lines. They know that
every one goes to the Market that is the
objective point on Saturday, and
Logan's is the place they all stop. They
were out in force yesterday leaving or
ders for Christmas dinner.
Logan and his competent corps Of gen.
tlemanly assistants were kept busy serv-
ing the most delicious meats, turkeys and
game.
Logan says that he will not be outdone
by any one He can "stand the racket"
with all of them. II broken butchers
wish to pack the market with inferior
meats, poultry and game to catch the un-
wary, at lower prices than first-class
goods are worth, he will not have any
thing to do with them. He has made a
special order for his Christmas supplies,
and they will be here in competition with
all the influx of an overfowiug market.
His game and meats will stand the test
OF epicures and aid digestion. Nothing
snide, nothing stale, nothing tough, but
everything excellent and just as usual.
Make Christmas merry. Logan will
help you TO do it.-ad

PAYING THE STATE.
But Two Days Left For Taxpayers
To Square Accounts.

There are but two days left now in
which taxpayers can settle up with the
state and county without having their ac-
counts go into the hands of the sheriff
and executions issued. The Office of the
tax collector will close for the season at 2
O'Clock, p. m, Tuesday, and those who
have not yet settled up are put on notice
that that will be their last chance
The collectors Office has been beseiged
by small army during the last week,
and when IL closed at . o'clock yesterday
afternoon the corps of clerks in the ONCE
had enough accounts on hand to keep
them busy well into the night straighten-
ing them out. Settlements have to be made
with the state at the end of each week,
and for all tax receipts up to 2 o'clock
Saturday afternoon of each week a sworn
statement has to be made TO the control
Ter general, and certified check covering
all the state taxes for the week has TO
be in bank Saturday afternoon or night.
The corps in the Office were so busy
Strengthening out accounts yesterday
that they had not had time, even late in
the afternoon, TO check up the amounts
that had been sent by mail, and
that work had to be done last night, as
! the collector never receives an amount
without mailing the receipt the same
| day.
| They have by no means had an easy
| time of it so far, but the big rush is ex-
! pected tomorrow and Tuesday, the day
| the digest closes. There is a large num-
| Der of taxpayers who have not paid yet,
/ and WAC usually come in on time, but it
/ is anticipated that about the usual num-
Der will fail 10 settle. Every year from
$4,000 to $4,000 in bills, for taxes, are
put into the sheriff's hands for collection,
and the probability is that there will be
very little variation in the amount this
| year.
There are some liquor dealers and
others in the city who have not paid the
specific tax required of them by the state.
The tax collector has number of such
names on his list and they will be pro-
ceeded with, but in little different man
ner If they have not settled by Tuesday.
Their names are given to the solicitor
general and by him presented to the
grand jury, and this body takes such
action in the premises as is required OF
| them by law.

MAY BE ANOTHER TELEPHONE.
Possibility of a New Plant for Savan-
nah.

There may be a rival telephone COM
pauy in the field next year. Several Of
the patents upon important parts Of the
| telephone instruments now owned ex-
clusively by the American Bell Teleph one
Company expire in January. 1t is the
possession Of these patents, which are alb
sOIutely necessary to the successful oper-
alton of the telephone system. which has
given the American Bel Telephone Com
pany an exclusive monopoly OF the field in
this country.
With the field open 70 competition IL is
certain that sooner or later several com
panies will be in the field. The oppOr-
tunity Is an attractive one for idle capital
The telephone business has been one of
the most profita Die monoplies that has
ever existed in this country. While the
capital stock OF the company is only $50
900 il owns about $3.50 OO0,O0O of stock of
other COL pauies. given entirely in ex-
change for 1.-The use of the plants con-
trolled by the company. The men who
invented the several different important
parts Of the telephone are all milliouaires
several times over.
A well-Known business man of Savan-
nah received letter a few days ago from
a Boston firm. advising him of the facts
stated above as 10 the expiration of the
patents and suggesting that he under
take the organization of telephone COM
pany in Savannah. The Boston man
asked for inform alton as 10 conditions and
prospects here and stated its willingness
10 engage in the enterprise if prospects
were favorable.
The gentleman who received the com
munications has replied Civ
ing the information desired and
requesting further information from the
Boston firm as to what can be done in this
line.
Manager Polk, who has charge Of the
telephone service at Savannah, was asked
what he thought OF the prospects for a
new company entering business here,
and also what effect the expiration Of the
patents would have upon the rates now
in force.
MIR. Polk replied that he had not heard
that any reduction in rates was likely
from the expiration of the patents, as the
charge for the patents prorated among
each subscriber, he said, would be infin-
itessimal.
There is not as much profit in the
telephone business as some people seem
TO think" said Mr.. Polk. by the time
taxes and all other expenses of maintain
ing the plant are betrayed, there is not
much surplus left. The Southern Bell
Telephone Company has not paid any
dividends since last January, when a
dividend of ~ per cent. was declared.
The business depression has been severely
felt by the telephone company, and the
number OF telephones in operation in this
district is considerably less than it was
six months ago. We have thirty tele-
phones less than we had few months
ago, but in Atlanta ana Birmingham the
reductions have been much greater
