THE GARBAGE PROPOSITION.
New York Company VIII he Asked to
Send a Representative Here

New York Company VIII he Asked to
Send a Representative Here
The garbage committee appointed by the
Mayors cabinet met yesterday at the cali
of Mr.. Holton. The proposition of the
American Reduction Company, of New
York, was considered The members of the
committee, that is some of them, think it
strange that any company should offer to
put plant here and dispose of all garbage
and night soil without asking any guaran-
tee of the city. The American company
does not ask guarantee from the
city. 1t is also noted by some
members of the committee that New York
city has complained of the system in use
American company to send representative
pany will do as it promises in the PROPOSE
over by the committee, but the matter is
not much nearer solution than it was
some months ago. DIR. Hays, of the Health
Board, made an Investigation and pointed
out what the city should do, but the pres
ent contracts are now interfering with the
carrying out of his plans Should the
American company furnish proof that it's
proposition is a. good one and that it will
be carried out, the city may be asked to
purchase the plant of the Indianapolis
Desiccating Company at the price asked
$4,000. The sum saved in eighteen months
time would more than cover what is asked
by the company to be relieved from the
contract.

COUNCILMEN OBJECT

WITH sTREET-RAILR0AD MEN.
But the Council, as a Body, Recently

There was good deal of indignation ex-
pressed by members of the Council last
evening all because of a report to the effect
that Councilman Stein has been comforting
with the officials of the Citizens Street.
railroad Company to see If the wires and
poles cannot be removed from the center
of the streets without jeopardizing the
rights of any parties interested in the
street-car litigation. The city has carefully
and systematically ignored the Citizens
company, refusing to recognize it in any
manner or form, and the Councilmen were
highly indignant over Mr. STEMS report
ed action. Some time in the past a wire
committee was appointed by the Council
to see if some means could not be devised
whereby the overhead wires could be or
dered down. What has become of this
committee is not known, but nothing has
been heard of it since one meeting. Mr..
Stein was a member of the committee, and
he was deeply interested in the wire aues-
ton, but since his health has failed he cam
not attend the Council meetings except in
the best weather. Mr.. Rauh last evening
said:
mfr Stein was not authorized to confer
with the street-car company, and | am at
loss to understand his actions. As he is a
member of the Council, it looks as IL this
body might be making propositions to the
company. We nave lTitu " IoISet that 1t

Mr.. Young said: 4 don't see what he

No he had nothing to do with it, an

might be pertinent to recall that the Board

the Shelby-street line to Garfield Park, and
the company responded that II the line was

BRIGHTWooD MYSTERY CLEARED.
An AUTOPSY shows Thomas Hayes
Died of va1vular Heart Trouble.

The mystery surrounding the death of
Thomas Hayes at Brightwood Sunday
morning was all cleared away by the
autopsy held on bhe body of the dead man
Yesterday morning. The examination was
made by Drs. j. B. Long and s. Z. Crosse.
and they reported to the coroner that
death had been the result of valvular
heart disease The wounds on the head had
made no indentation on the skull and
therefore they could have had no part in
the death of the man. f. A. Doyle and
J. A. Glenn, the two men who were with
Hayes but a short time before his DEATH
and who were in the custody of the police
during Sunday night, testified before the
coroner yesterday morning. Their stories
were about the same as those told to de-
tectives Sunday night. Their stories con-
hicted in that Doyle said that he met
Hayes on the street. while Glenn testified
that Hays was met on the street and then
went to the saloon with Doyle and himself

THE FISH DEALERS WON.
The Market Fish Men Relieved OF
the $50 Tax.

the $50 Tax.
The fish dealers have won their fight
against the payment of a special tax as
dealers in the market. such special
taxes not being required Of other deal
ers in the market.
The city council, at its meeting yester-
day afternoon, amended the tax ordinance
so as to make the $50 special tax or license
required of fish and oyster dealers, apply
only to the wholesale dealers. This was
done upon recommendation of the commit
tee of the whole, to which the petition of
the fish dealers was referred.
Under the ordinance, as II stood, the
fish dealers were liable for the tax They
had not been required to pay this tax in
previous years, and the demand would
probably not have been made of them
this year, but for the reports which were
made to the city marshars office that the
market fish dealers were doing regular
business outside of the market some OF
them being practically wholesalers. Dep
uty Marshal Kelly placed several of them
on the docket for doing business without
a license. When the cases came up before
Recorder Wilson in the police court there
was not sufficient evidence to show tn It
they had done any business outside OF
the market and the recorder dismissed
the cases, holding that 1t was not the
custom of the city to require parties do
ing business in the market to pay specific
taxes.
Mayor Myers differed with the recorder
and by his instructions charges were again
entered against the fish dealers. They
could not deny that they sold fish in the
market and that they had no license and
they were fined $50 each by Mayor Myers,
who followed the letter of the ordinance.
They appealed to council, where their
case was argued by Mr.. w. w. Osborne
who urged that such an enforcement of
the law, while in accord with the ler-
ter of the ordinance, was entirely inequi
table and unjust. The council, however,
sustained the mayor.
Mr.. Osborne then drew up a petition re-
questing a change in the ordinance which
would put the fish dealers on the same
footing as other market dealers. The
result of the petition was as stated.

A KNIFE CLOSE 10 HIS HEART.
Paul Green, COIOred, Stabbed While
SkyIarkinE in a Crowd.

Paul Green. colored. was stabbed over
the heart and seriously II not MORALLY
wounded last night by S. W. Mack. color
ed
The stabbing occurred at Liberty and
Wheaton streets. The men had been sky
larking and 1t Is question whether the
stabbing was accidental or intentional.
Green, who was so badly hurt. insists that
1t was accidental. while Mack tells a
story which makes It appear as If he had
purposely cut his friend.
Both men came TO Savannah from Bluff
ton, and have been working together ever
since in the same gang at the Baltimore
wharf. They were sitting in front OF
Eicholz' store at Liberty and Wheaton
streets about s O'Clock. in company with
several others. a sausage vender came
along and Green asked him for a link. The
vendor gave him one and told him to divide
1t with the others. All the men jumped up
and drew their knives, attempting TO get
a piece OF the sausage. II was then that
the cutting occurred. This Is one story OF
the affair.
Mack, who was seen by a Morning News
reporter at the barracks told somewhat
different story. He said he was sitting on
the bench when Green came up and kicked
him on the ankle. He protested. Green
drew knife and stuck him in the side with
the point. He had his knife in his hand
cutting a toothpick. He made a stroke at
Green with the knife in his left hand. He
had no intention of cutting him, he said,
at least he had no idea of cutting him so
severely. Green did not seem to be hurt at
first and sat down on the bench beside
him. After few moments he rolled over
on the ground and the others noticed that
he was cut.
Mack started to walk off, but the others
called him back and prevented him from
getting away. Policeman Mendel, who was
nearby off duty came up shortly after and
Mack was turned over to him and was sent
to the barracks.
Green was taken to his home near the
eastern end of Perry street in the police
ambulance. DR.. Snelson was summoned
and dressed the wound. When a Morning
News reporter saw Green about an hour
afterwards he seemed to be in great pain
and declared that his end was not far Off
He seemed to have no feeling against Mack
and insisted that the cutting was an acct
dent. The wound is in the left breast above
the heart.
