furnishing its own incandescant lights.
am of the opinion that that should be left
TO the companies"
Alderman Owens believed that the city
could purchase the out door equipment OF
the Brush Electric Company, such as the
present lamps, wires and poles. If the
figures VIII bear us. out" he said. "and
feel sure they will, l am heartily in favor
of putting the suggestion of the mayor
into effect, and having 9 lighting plant Of
our own"
Alderman Guckenheimer and Alderman
Hamilton are interested in the Brush Elec-
trio Company and so stated at the meet
ing, when the question of amalgamatine
the plants was preached. They made no
objections, however, and Alderman Ham,
flton, who is the president of the Brush
company, even went so far as to assure
the mayor that If the city undertook 90
do its own lighting and is not in readiness
TO furnish the lights by Jan. l. when the
present contract expires, his company
would continue TO furnish lights until such
time as the city's plant is put in opera
tion.
Alderman Guckenheimer had not reach
ed any conclusion. He said that there are
a great many things he wanted to consid-
er thoroughly before making up his mind.
While he is a stakeholder in the Brush
company, he would act as an alderman
and fulfill his duties as such, aside from
any personal interests. One of the first
things which should be done. he thought,
is TO find out what kind Of a contract the
city can make with the present company
for another term of years. Estimates
should not be made he said, from the fig
ures of the present contract. The electric
lighting business has increased and the
cost of operating electric plants has dimin-
ishedl Improvements of all kinds have
enabled the manufacturing companies to

they could five years ago, the time when
the present contract with the Brush Elec-
trio company was made. Alderman Guck-
enheimer intimated that the city could
obtain a better contract than 1t now has.
Another important matter in connec-
ton with the proposition Alderman
Guckenhemer said ''is the question of
possible damage suits which are likely to
result if the city undertakes to operate
its own plant The work in such depart
ments includes that of climbing poles, ma
nipulatng and arranging wires, all of
which IS hazardous. The lights are now
costing the city $4,000 annually, Suppose
that it can furnish the lights, by oper-
ating its own plant, for $4,000 annually,
which is a saving of $40 600. When the
city brushes up against one or two good
sized law suits and heavy verdicts are
obtained, this gain would be materially
diminished. to say nothing Of the trouble
to which council would be put in fighting
cases in court.
A representative of the General Electric
Company of New York has been telegraph
ed for AS the messages had not been
answered last night, it is not known
whether he has started or not. 1t is ex-
pected that on his arrival he win be able
to give the requisite information to the
committee which has the matter of OBJ
tanning estimates in charge.

TEUToNIA socIErY's CONCERT.
A Capital Entertainment at Masonic
Hall.

The concert under the auspices of the
last night was a distinct success. A large
audience was. present, and every number
of the excellent programme was greatly
enjoyed.
The concert was rendered under the di-
rection of Prof. Franz Hubner, with the
assistance of Mrs. c. B. Youuglove, Mrs.
IIubner,e Prof. Warth and Master Arthur
Levy. Au
The first number was the chorus, I'm
Mai" Juergens, by the Teutonia. The
voices were Messrs. Henry Moellering, A.
H. Heifgenberg, James M. Clark, George
Muelhatz, tenors, and Emil Otto, F. II.
Opper, John c. f. Randant, H. Herzfeldt
and Martin Roentsch, bassos. Applause
greeted the rendition of the chorus.
A trio of two Yiolins and a piano by
Master Levy, Profs. Warth and Huhner,
was played with great success, While the
number that was agreed TO be the best
of the evening by the critics was the AVE
Maria" sung by Mrs. c.. b. Younglove.
''Voeglein i'm Gruenen Wald' was sung
by Teutonia, and the audience insisted on
an encore.
Mr.. Henry Moellerlng's recitation of
DER Kunstreiter' was very affecting,
and the elocutional ability displayed won
him many compliments. Master Levy, in
violin solo, accompanied by Prof. Warth,
drew notes of richest harmony from his
instrument, and his talents cause much
comment. Teutonia sang "Blumlein auf
der Haide" and met with the call for en-
cores that signalized its efforts.
"Allor Che Forto Corrono," from AT
tia" by Verdi, was sung by Mrs. Young
love, to the accompaniment of Mrs. Hub
ner. Upon her conclusion of the song she
was presented with a handsome bouquet
of La France roses by Mr.. Henry Noel
lering, in behalf of the Gesangverein leu
tonia. Responding then to an encore Mrs.
Younglove sang Last Rose of Summer"
The musical programme was closed by
Teutonia 5 rendition of "Das Wandern.'
Then followed refreshments and dancing.

FOR ATTEMPT TO MURDER.
William Jones Arrested for Assault
ing William Orr.

William Jones Arrested for Assault
ing William Orr.
William Jones, aged "a years. was be-
fore the recorder yesterday, on the charge
of having assaulted Will Orr. aged 10
years, with the intent of committing MUIR
der. On account of the inability of the
wounded man to attend the trial, a contin-
uance was granted. However, it is not
thought that he will be able to attend any
trial, his injuries being very serious, as a
result of having been shot in the ankle.
which the attending physician, DR.. R. Ct.
Norton, thinks may necessitate the ampu-
tation of the foot
The difficulty between Jones and Orr
seems to have been one in which very lit
tie provocation was shown in so far as
the latter was concerned. A crowd of ne
gro boys were playing near the canal, a
short distance from the Louisville road
Jones, the elder of the two, in question,
according to information obtained at the
barracks, pulled a revolver and fired at
Orr, the shot taking effect in the ankle
or the right foot, and which was badly
shattered. Orr was taken to his home,
where his wound was dressed but the ply
stefan yet thinks it may be necessary to
amputate the foot.
After the shooting, the police were in
formed of the occurrence, but Jones had
taken flight and could not then be located
1t was ascertained later however, that he
had gone to the home of some of his rel
atives on Jefferson street near CASTOR.
and Detective Shea went to the place for
the purpose of arresting the man, but it
seems that tip Of the officers presence
had been carried to Jones, who attempted
to escape by jumping fences in the rear
of the house.
The detective gave chase, and had to
make several leaps himself over fences
before he succeeded in capturing the man
Jones was taken to the barracks where
he will likely have a hearing this morning.
He is Well known in police circles, having
been arrested many times before on
charges of a bad character.

jured by Frightened Animal.
Mr.. William D. Robinson was seriously
injured on Broughton street yesterday af-
ternoon about 4:90 O'clock by horse
kicking him. The animal was a new one,
and was nervous when Mr.. Robinson took
him out for exercise. In front of store
on Broughton street there stood a pile of
grain sacks. at which the horse seemed
Inclined to take fright.
Mr.. Robinson got out of his buggy
preparatory to leading the animal by the
sacks. This he did. and had gotten back
in when the horse made a bolt. Wit
nesses of the occurrence said that the
horse stumbled. His driver had tight
grasp on the lines and he was jerked for
ward by the impetus. AS the horse re
gained his equilibrium his hind feet flew
up. One of the iron-shod hoofs struck
Mr.. Robinson in the face He was knock
ed from the buggy senseless and was

soon regained his senses. He was then
taken in a carriage by some of his friends
to the Savannah hospital. After his hurts
had been dressed, the house physician
stated that the patient was resting as
easily as might be expected after his hav-
ing received such painful injuries.

THE STANDARD OF OILS.


His Tests.
The investigation of the sale of Illegal
Illuminating oil in Savannah has caused
a stir among both the wholesalers and the
retail dealers. Chemist Finney's tests Of
samples of oil purchased from the retail
stores, the results of which were publish
ed in the Morning News Sunday. showed,
according to his construction of the for
mula for fire tests, prescribed by the state
law, that oil below the required test is
being sold.
State Inspector Morrissey says, however.
that 1t is a mistake that oil passed by him
do not come up to the required standard
Il will say for the benefit of the public"
he said yesterday, that l now maintain
and have always maintained, that there
is not a gallon of oil in bulk, or a barrel
of same in stock, which has been inspect
ed by me, but what will stand the requir-
ed test of 120 degrees, according 10 the
Georgia forRula for testing illuminating
oils. as laidMown in the CODE
There is a variance of several degrees in
the various methods of testing oils the in
spector says, and he believes that a care
full test of the oils submitted to Mr. Fin
ney will show that nearly, if not ali of the
samples, will come up to the standard re-
quired by the Georgia law. AS to actual
safety point of oils the Inspector says there
is no doubt that the flashing point in the
test is the real danger point, although the
legal requirement is that the oil shall
reach temperature Of 100 degrees before
igniting. That is all that is required
though he says that most oil inspected by
him stand a much greater heat
The inspector says that he will seize
and condemn any oil found in Savannah
below the required fire test.
