CAN CROSS THE CENTRAL.
The Work of Completing the Suburban
and West End Railroad to Go On.

The Work of Completing the Suburban
and West End Railroad to Go On.
1t was decided yesterday by the special
master in the case of the Suburban and
West End railway against the Central
railroad that the former would have the
right to cross the tracks of the latter, at
the Augusta road crossing.
II will be remembered that the Central
objected to the crossing being made at
grade and the matter was referred to four
arbitrators, who assessed the damages to
the Central at s.. Judge Speer decided,
however, as the Central railroad was in
the hands of the United States court, the
state courts had no Jurisdiction in
the matter, and Mr.. w w
Mackall was appointed special master
10 look into the facts and report upon
them. He recommended that the Subur-
ban and West End railway be allowed to
cross the track Of the Central at that
point. and that no damages whatever be
assessed. The Central accepted his de-
cision when made yesterday and decided
not to contest the matter further
The work of completing the Suburban
and West End Railway, which has been
partially built, will 90 right on now, and
the line will be completed and ready for
business within few months. A mile
and three-quarters of it have already
been built, and it only remains to com
plete it across the Central railroad and
along the Augusta road to its destination

MRS. LAMA's WILL.
She Leaves Her Property to Found a
Home for Widows.

She Leaves Her Property to Found a
Home for widows.
The will of Mrs. Mary ]. L, Lama, who
died a few days ago, was filed in the
court of ordinary yesterday, and E. A.
Laffitteau qualified as executor.
The value of her estate is estimated at
about $25, 600, and her executor is directed
to sell all her personal property and all
her real estate, with the exception of the
lot in jackson ward, at the northeast cor
ner of jefferson and Hull streets, and
the proceeds are to be invested in
stocks and bonds, The property
is to be transferred then to Bishop
Becker of the Roman Catholic diocese of
Savannah and his successors in office, and
a widows home to be known as the Lama
Home for Widows, is to be established by
the bishop in the building on the property
at Jefferson and Hull streets, The por-
ton of the estate which is to be sold will
constitute an endowment for the home
for its maintenance and support.
Mrs. Lama, in her first will, left all her
personal property, and the proceeds of
her estate, to her daughter Josephine, of
the order of Sisters of Mercy, known in
that order as Sister Mary Louise Con
zaga, and provided for the foundation of
the widows home at her daughters
death. Her daughter, however, died
about two years ago, and by subsequent
codicils the property is to go direct for
the purpose for which it had been ulti-
mately intended.
If the home is founded it is to be in
charge of five lady managers, who are to
be selected every two years. 1t is to be
for widows of the Catholic faith, and Is
to be entirely in charge of that church
Unless, however, the provisions of the
will are carried out within year the en-
tire bequest is to so to the Widows So
ciety of Savannah, including the Abra-
hams Home and other institutions, which
is an incorporated institution, under the
laws of Chatham county, and is to be dis
charged and freed from all trusts.

A SITE FOR A NEW PARK.
The Section Around the New Water
Works.

Works.
The plateau above the valley through
which historic Musgrove creek flows and
on part of which is the power house of
the water works, will some day be made
a beautiful park The idea of an i'm
provement of this kind was suggested
soon after the city purchased the land,
and every person who visits that locality
and hundreds do so every week, is i'm
pressed with the eligibility of the site as a
place of resort for the people.
The preparatory work of grading the
grounds could easily be done by
short-time prisoners from the mayors
court, under the direction of Capt. James
Manning, superintendent of the water
works, at very little cost TO the city
With that much accomplished it would
take little labor for the city engineer to
lay off the grounds in walks and plats,
preparatory to setting out trees and
plants.
The Gwinnett street road has been
hardened, and is now a good road TO
drive on, but it might be made more
slightly If the sides were smoothed off As
it now stands it does not make that APP
pearance that so much hard work. as has
evidently been done upon it, should show.
In the section lying west of West
Boundary street between the Augusta
road and Gwinnett street, there has been
steady improvement, mainly caused by
the building of the water works and the
location of the yards of the Florida,
Central and Peninsular railroad. Roads
have been opened and considera BILE
drainage done. There is, however, an I'M
finished look to the work which initiates
materially from the value of what has
been done, The condition of the Ogee-
chez canal, which runs through this sec
ton, is also detrimental to the develop
ment of this large area of land which is
rapidly becoming an important factor in
the material growth of the city.

lively one, but resulted in the reelection

cursion of the association to Florida

THE COMING RIFLE SHOOT.
Crack Shots Will Have a Chance to
Settle Their Merits.

Settle Their Merits.
The gentlemen interested in the rifle
match mentioned in the MORNING News a
few days ago, have decided that, owing
to the difficulty in raising sufficient funds
by subscription, the plan to have an inter
state shoot will have to be abandoned.
The new ranges a: the Wheelman's
Park are nearly finished and state
match may yet be arranged.
There are number of crack shots in
Savannah and the old rivalry that at one
time existed between the various mill
tary companies would be revived should
the match take place.
1t is safe to predict that the Savannah
Rife Association will hold its own against
all corners, and the match, which will
continue three days, will no doubt prove
one of the most interesting events OF the
wear.

''As You Like IT, will be the play at
the theater tonight, with Modjeska as
Rosalind. She is supported by a COM
pany of which much has been said in
praise by the critics where the play has
been presented this season.
The character of Rosalind is one Of
great interest when well played. Shake
speare never saw a woman act the part,
foS in his day it was always boy who
played il, as Master Slender says, IA
great lubberly boy Rosalind when
presented by a boy, was robbed of
all that delicacy and daintiness that
characterizes a feminine portrayal, be-
cause masculine nature could not invest
1t with the poetic expression necessary to
an ideal Interpretation
1t was not until about the year 1860
that women first began to impersouate fe-
male characters. and that date marks the
beginning of the regeneration of the stage
from the filtoy jokes with which even
Shakespeare thought it no harm to inter
lard his masterpieces. Few If any ac-
tresses have ever played the dual role of
Rosalind and Ganymede with the delight
full grace aud perfected art with which
Modjeska invests it.
Her company includes Mr. Otis Skin
ner, who plays the part of Orlando. Mr..
Skinner, Modjeska thinks, is the future
legitimate star.
Tomorrow night James H. Wallick and
his horses will be seen in ''The Blue
Grass King" Located in the famous blue
grass region of Southern Kentucky, on
blooded stock farm, the play offers fine
opportunities for the display of stage
craft, which this playwright, Malcolm
Stuart Taylor, has duly taken advantage
of-in the way of beautiful scene effects,
mechanical maryels and thrilling tab
leaux. With a strong and well-deyel-
oped plot, pure, patriotic motive, lots
of original comedy element and several
ultra sensational situations, such as the
Burning of a Stock Farm Stable" the
Execution of a Spy" and the Leap for
Liberty and Life" the play is said to be
one of much interest.

1t is estimated that about / 500 han ds
will be thrown out of employment on the
rice plantations. 1t is suggested that
many of them will be able TO subsist by
cuitivating small plots of ground in vege-
tables. Very little of the rice land is at
for such cultivation, however, and while
much of it is suitable for truck raising, it
will require large outlay of money and
work to put the lands in condition for
such use.
1t looks very much as if the people of
this section will be confronted with the
problem of what TO do with a large army
