People who Allow Their Water
Pines to Freeze Up This Winter.

Pipes to Freeze Up This Winter.
'Srhe people who allow their pipes to
freeze up this winter will all be put on
the docket" said Supt. Lotion of the wa
ter works yesterday to a Morning News
reporter.
There is no excuse whatever" he said,
''for people who allow their pipes to freeze
up and burst. After the big freeze last
year the Morning News called attention,
in a very prominent article, to the fact
that by simply providing stop and waste
cocks on the outside of each house the
water could be shut Off and drained out
of the pipes in very cold weather, and all
danger of freezing done away with. A
few people have provided their houses
with these safeguards, but the great ma
iority are still in the same unprotected
condition which they were in year ago.
These stop and waste cocks can be bought
for so cents a piece or less. Any plumoer
will be glad to put them in at cost not
exceeding 81. For an expense not exceed
ing 50. at the outside the property owner
is guaranteed against the heavy expense
of repairing broken pipes, to say moth
ing of the vexatiOn caused by the break
8The water department cannot said
disadvantage by people who will not pro-
tect themselves With hundreds Of
broken pipes and pretty nearly all the
pipes in the city which are not broken left
running to keep them from freezing, it
is just like pumping water into sieve.
We were pumping eight to nine million
gallons of water day after the freeze
last season. and yet could get up no pres
sure. We were in pretty fix If there had
been a big fire, and 1t was simply pure
luck that we did not have one. 1 don't
propose to be put in the same fix this
winter, and if necessary, / will put on
force of inspectors the first severe cold
spell, to see that the ordinances are com
piled with, and wherever pipes are found
running or wasting, the occupants of the
house will be put on the docket"
Supt. Lotions warning is timely, and it
would be we'll for every HORSEPOWER to
see to it at once that the water pipes in

their respective churches and not make
any change.

rant for the animal before Justice Bevans
of Pooler The warrant was placed in the
hands of Constable Cohen, who accom-
panied Mr.. Norton to Helmys home in

was his property he agreed to give the
animal up. He said he bought the mare
about ten days ago from a negro for si5.
He was, satisfied, he said, that the mare
was stolen.
His objections to giving UP the mare

MOST OF HIS LIFE IN PRISON.
Joe Washington's UnIucISy Career as
n Criminal.

Joe MasnlnStOn's Nnlucky career as
Criminal.
Some people certainly have bad luck.
That must be what ails Joe Washington.
alias Joe Dunk, an escaped convict, who
was arrested by the detectives yesterday
Washington is only % years old In 1884
when only y years, he was caught robbing
the store of a man named Rudolph in
Yamacraw He was convicted of the
robbery, but on account Of his youth was
sentenced to two years. He served a few
months and ESCAPED. He came back to
Savannah and in 1886 robbed an old wo-
man on the Ogeechee road He was tried
for this and sentenced TO ten years in
the penttentiary for highway robbery
He served out his term, less the time al
lowed for good behavior, and returned
TO this section several months ago. He
got mixed up in the Florida Central and
Peninsular railroad robberies and was ar
rested, but was used as a witness and
was not prosecuted.
Chief McDermott got TO thinking over
Washington's case, and recalled his first
offense. He questioned Washington about
it. and the latter admitted that he was
sent up first for two years, and escaped
after serving a few months. Chief McDer-
mott notified the penitentiary authorities
and Washington was taken back yester-
dav 10 serve out the remainder of q SEN
when he was only Y years old.
It certainly looks pretty hard that after
having served out 81 ten year sentence
after having escaped from a short term
sentence, he should be sent back to serve
out the remainder Of his first sentence AS
Washington seems 10 be a thief by ma
fure however, the penitentiary Is proba-
bly, the best place for him.
