WILL DECIDE IT TODAY.
The Much Desired Spur Track Giving
the Commissioners Some Trouble.


4 meeting of the county conimis-
sioners was called yesterday at
noon supposedly for the purpose of
receiving the report of the COM
mittee on roads and bridges, with re
gard to allowing the Coast Line railroad
to run a spur track from its main line
Gown the Waters road to the base ball
park.
There we're present, besides the commits
siOners, Capt. J. II. Johnston, president of
the City and Suburban lines, President j.
S. Collins, of the Electric Railway Com
pany. Mr. W. X. wilkinson, a director of
the Electric railway, and Mr.. W. ).
Chisholm. A protest from property owners
along the Waters road against the grant
ing of permission to lay this spur track,
was laid before the committee. Its
signers, of course, were all Interested in
the Electric railway, but the protest
will be heard at the proper time, and
given due consideration.
When the meeting of the cor nuaissiOners
was called to order Mr. Carson made the
point that the committee not ha wing made
its report there was nothing before the
board. The commissioners then took a
recess, while the committee on roads and
bridges retired to the county attorneys
room, where Capt. Johnston apr cared be-
fore them.
1t appears that instead of employing an
attorney to present an opinion as TO
whether the charter of the Coast Line
gag it the right to run down the Waters
road with the consent of the commits
slOners, Capt. Johnston had writ ten let
ter to Mr. ]. r. Saussy, the coun ty attor-
ney, asking him TO look into the matter
and have an opinion ready when the com
mittee was called together Mr.. Saussy,
however, being the attorney of tn scounty,
4 -. . H., I,4
was prepared 10 make no report.
MIR Saussy stated to the committee,
however, that if given until to-day at 10
o'clock he would look into the MATTER and
be ready to present a report. Tho com
mittee then adjourned, and will meet
again to-day at IL O'Clock to hear MIR.
Saussy's report, after which the commit
tees report will be formulated, tn at is if
the road has the charter right to run the
spur track, and presented to the commits
sioners al a meeting to be held half an
hour later Capt. Johnston contends
that his road has this charter right and
believes that such will be shown to be the
case.

THE sKIDAWAY BRIDGE.
The Skidawayites Are Having Plans
Prepared for Information.

The Skidaway islanders were very
much interested in that section of the
general presentments of the recent grand
jury, which stipulated that 5000 should
be raised for the purpose of building a
bridge from Isle of Hope over to the
island.
Several of them have discussed the
matter with members of the county COM
missioners, and they are anxious that
the work of constructing such bridge
should be proceeded with as soon as pos
sible. II is understood that they are fig
uring on plans with view to dete~min-
ing in what manner a good, serviceable
and substantial structure can be built for
that amount.
Some of the residents of the island will
probably appear before the next regular
meeting Of the commissioners and urge
that the matter be considered at as early
a date as possible, though nothing can be-
done on it until the lovy is made next
winter. The commissioners have not vet
decided to make the levy for this purpose,
but it is altogether probable, If good =,
serviceable bridge can be built for that
amount, they will decide to have it put up.

A DELAY IN THE RATES.
The Summer Excursions Put OF for a
Short While.

The summer excursion rates, which
were announced to go into effect June l,
have not yet gone into effect Parties
who called at the ticket Offices yesterday
to inquire about rates we're informed that
the rate sheets had not yet been received
This was the only explanation the ticket
agents could give.
Word was received from the Office
of Assistant Commissioner Slaugh-
ter in Atlanta several days ago
that there had been some delay in prepar-
ing the rate sheets and, consequently,
they could not be sent out on time. They
have been expected every day since, and
their failure to arrive is causing the
agents some IVORY.
There are a great many people who
have been waiting for the excursion rates
to go into effect before leaving on their
summer trips, and the failure of the rates
to go into effect when expected will incon-
venience those who had intended leaving
Immediately. The rates will probably b9
on next week, however.

CLIMBING UP.
The Registration Lively in the Closing
DAYS.

Days.
There were 102 voters added to the reg
istration list yesterday, of whom IS were
whites and q colored. This brings the
total registration up to 1852.
Not only is the daily number of voters
registering on the increase, as the time
for the books to close draws near, but
things are getting somewhat livelier
around the registration window. 1t re-
quires great deal of time in many cases,
and often no little fortitude to tell man
he cannot register until he has paid his
tax, and in the meantime TO explain the
reason to him. The registrars had sew
eral interesting cases on hand yesterday.
The voter who appeared day before yes
terday and wanted to register without
paying tax, on the ground that he was
just 81, but whose name was on the reg
istration list of two years ago, appeared
before the registrars again yesterday and
gave notice that he was going to carry
the matter before full bench of the
commission when Judge Falligant re-
turns from Darien, which will probably
be TODAY.

Curiosity LOST A LIFE.
A oolored Man Killed While Watching
Mail-Oatcher.

a OAoAA-CeAkSh0As
William Reddy, a Savannah negro, lost
his life on the South Bound railroad night
before last by not keeping inside the car,
as he was warned to do. Reddy was
anxious to witness the operation of catch
ing up the mailbag automatically while
the train was going at full speed, and
kept poking his head far out of the win
dow.
AT the smaller stations, where the
trains do not stop, the mail bags are hung
upon a wooden frame placed by the side
of the track for that purpose, from which
they are taken by an iron arm
affixed to the side of the mail ear.
At Berry, a small station, Reddy under
stood that this sight was to be witnessed.
He ran out on the rear platform and lean
ing his body out as far as possible, pre-
pared to witness the operation. He was
warned by brakeman that he was likely
TO be knocked off the car If he kept in
that position, but paid no attention to
the warning. He did not see a post quite
near the track. and the result was that he
was struck squarely in the head, the
blow breaking his neck.
Some of the other passengers who wit
messed the accident, ran out and caught
him in time to prevent him falling from
the train. Berry was a porter in the en-
ploy of Altick 81 Co., and said to be a
reliable and Industrious negro. The body
was brought to Savannah and turned
over TO Undertaken John H. Fox, who
prepared it for burial and took it to
Reddy's home at Charlton and Montgom-
cry streets

the past week so as TO get everything
ready for the grand opening, which will
take place to-day. Tonight, the entire
place will be brilliantly illuminated and
decorated in grand style.
The opening will be under the manage
ment of Mr., H. Il. Bradstreet, who has
conducted their openings so successfully
in several cities recently. The public are
cordially invited TO see the grand display

The first carload Of melons to be shipped
over the Plant system this season was re-

ably be followed by several more carloads

several days late this season on account
of the late freeze which killed out all the
vines. No shipments of Georgia melons
are expected before June Is.
The melons received yesterday were of
fair size and in apparently good condi-
tion. They were rapidly disposed OF to
retail dealers throughout the city. The
melons attracted the longing gaze of hun
dreds of darkies, and whenever one was
broken by dropping from wagon club

HANDLED THE GUARDS WELL.
Col. Garrard Compliments the Central
Railroad.


The handling of the Savannah Volun-

Camp Northen by the Central railroad

made in this section for handling so large
a body of men.
Col. Garrard has, it is understood,
written letter to Receiver Conner,
thanking him and the management of the
road in the name of the corps for the
able and thorough train service afforded.
The Guards train, it will be remembered,

which was sidetracked at Midwife to let
it pass.
