the friends of the family will learn
with regret that there is no Inn

treatment has not proven beneh-

which time the tiny spark of life
would hover between life and death
for days at time, the infant child

died Sunday night. Funeral ser

THE FIGHT FOR TERMINALS.
The City VIII Hear the Rival Rail-
rOads' Claims.

Mayor Myers said yesterday that the
city council at its meeting Wednesday
night will name a time for hearing the
claims Of the rival railway companies.
the Macon Dublin and Savannah and the
Atlantic Short Line, both of which are
anxious to build to Savannah over prac-
ticaly the same route and both of which
are asking for the same terminal prop
erty. The former company has a grant
Of the property at present, but it exp res
March /, and 1t will be impossible for it
to comply with the terms within the brief
time intervening. 1t is now asking for a
renewal of the grant for one year and
agrees to give a $4,000 bond that ii will
have fifty miles of road in operation west
ward from Savannah within that time.
The Atlantic Short Line people have
never asked the city for anything" said
Mr. w. G. Charlton, the attorney for the
company, when asked about the matter
The city has given away about everv-
thing else it has to give in the way Of
terminal facilities and this piece OF prom
erty, west of the city, is about the oniy
available terminal property left. The
other people have held on to il for three
years now and have done nothing. We
think we can guarantee the completion
Of the Atlantic Short Line to Savannah
within one year if the property is granted
TO US. Being a home enterprise with a
great deal of home capital invested we
think we are entitled to some considera-
ton at the hands of our own people. The
Atlantic Short Line already has a consid-
cradle portion of its work completed and
is building this way every day. THIS in
itself should be a sufficient guarantee of
our intention to come to savannah"
member of the board of aldermen
said that the road which offers the best
assurance of its intention to build 10

BuRGLARIzED, nut NOT ROBBED
The Police Rt Work on a queer Case
of House-BreakinS.


The police have queer case on hand.
For several weeks the houses Of Mr.. Jo-
seph Gorham, manager of the Hecker-
Jones-Jewell Milling Company, No. 147
Whitaker street, and of Mrs. II. Holt, No.
li9. the adjoining house, have been reg
ularly burglarized. They have been en-
tered seven or eight times each, but moth
ing has ever been stolen. This is the queer
part about it.
The houses are entered, apparently. by
cutting the blinds and pryins up the win
dows. Detective Wetherhorn was engag-
ed in the case before his appointment to
the police force, and has since continued
work on it, aided by other detectives and
police officers. So far they have failed to
get any clue. The young men in the two
houses have sat up several times at night
in the endeavor to detect the marauders,
but no one has ever appeared when they
were on watch.
Chief McDermott is of the opinion that
there is some crank in the neighhorhood
who is familiar with the movements of the
families, and who enters the houses prob
ably without any tangible motive other
than to get in. The police are stlll at work
on the case.

JUDGE HURTS DECISION,
Texarkana,

In another column will be found
the report Of Judge Hurts decision
in the prize fight case in Dallas In
deciding against the State in this
case Judge Hurt ignored the de-
mands and pleadings of almost the
entire Christian Lelement in the
state and his course will perhaps
bring down upon bis head the wrath
Of many and the pity of more, but
when he gives his opinion to the
public It may be depended upon to
be legally sound and that Is all
Judge Hurt cares for, His whole'his'
tory as a Judge bears out the state
ment that he would decide case
according to what he believed was
the law II he knew every human be-
Ing on earth would "cuss' him for
It. 1t Is unfortunate that Texas
has not a law to prohibit prize fights
and kindred sport, but she hasn't
and there's an end ont Waco
Times,
Judge Hurt Is the foremost iurist
in the state and he has rendered his
decision according to his belief No
one opposes prize fights more than
he, yet he Is on the bench to In
terpret the laws as they be, and no
man, or set of men can change him
IRON his opinion " he thinks he Is
right. lie deplores the laws mac
curacies on this brutal crime, yet
to decide otherwise, knowing these
inaccuracies would have placed him
In the columns Of demagogues, who
would trade their opinion for u
place on the bench or some other
Office his vanity might crave.
