is now on exhibition in the office Of tbs
commissioner of public works. At present
there are 3l6 arc lights in use. The new
plan provides for 500 arc lights o,be plac-
ed Immediately, but bids will be called for
upon plans capable of furnishing from 6oO
to $50 arc lights, the intention being to
provide for the growing needs of the city.
The present lamps are 1900 candle power,
but bids will be called for for both l21
and 1000 candle power

which at present are poorly lighted, are
provided for. The parks and squares will
be well lighted if this plan is adopted. The
plan provides for four lights in each
square, one on each side, facing each
street intersection. The four lights will
not only fully light up the square, but
the adjacent streets as well. Lights are
placed at each street intersection abutting
on Forsyth park and extension, and four
lights each In the park and the extension.
Representatives of various electrical
manufacturing companies have discussed
the matter with the committee, but no
definite estimates of cost have been SUBJ
mitted as yet, the general estimates va
rying from 100000 upward for the first
cost of the plant. The cost of operation
is estimated at about $4,000 per annum.
The probabilities are that the first cost
will be at least S5,OOO,J including all tho
wiring and other work necessary to be
done in the city, as we'll as the machinery
plant. If the city can secure plant even
at the latter figure, and the cost of ops
Grafton should be as stated, the invest
ment, 1t is claimed, would prove a valu-
able one to the city on account of the
greater number of lights which would be
obtained

MooRiNG BERTHs FOR VESSELS.
To he Built by the City Near Venus
Point,

Point.
A communication was received at the
mayors office yesterday from Capt. C. E.
Gillette, United States engineer, inclosing
a permit from the Secretary of War for
the city to erect mooring piles in the Sa-
vannah river near Venus Point, permis-
sion for which was requested by the city
council some time since.
Their are to be nine clusters of piles, four
of four piles each, and five Of three piles
each. Plans showing the location of the
piling and the manner of construction ae-
company the permit. The whole is gotten
up In the exact and mathematical man
ner characteristic of the war department,
and bound together with green, not red,
tape.
The location of these mooring berths
was requested by the commissioners of
pilotage some time ago, and the matter
was referred by council to the harbor COM
mittee. Seeing that the berths were need
ed for the safety and convenience of yes
sells in the river the committee set about
to provide them. 1t was necessary first,
however to secure the permission of the
war department. This having been done
the committee will go ahead with the
construction of the berths.

TO FIGHT TWENTY ROUNDS.
CorcOrnn and CanAeId TO Meet in a
Glove Contest.

CorcOrnn and Canheld to Meet in a
Glove Contest.
Tom Corcoran and ''Big Scotty" Can
rounds before the Pastime Athletic Club
next Friday night.
Corcoran is the whirlwind who created
such havoc among the fighters here sew
eral months ago. He came here as an I'M
known from Maine and made number of
matches. in all of which he was victorious,
with the exception of a bout with Larry
Mcdonald, in which Mcdonald got the
decision. The decision was thought to
have been unfair, however, and 1t was re-
versed by the club Billy Duke, who was
thought by his followers to be unbeatable,
was twice knocked out by Corcoran The
first time Duke was not satisfied and he
was given another chance. In the second
go Corcoran put him out in the twenty
first round. Corcoran is a magnificent
fighter. He is splendidy built, easy on
his feet, scientific and able to stand deal
of punishment.
Garfield is the jolly Scotchman who is
often seen in preliminaries at the clubs
entertainments. He Is somewhat heavier
than Corcoran and good man. "Scotty"
is stoker on one of the Baltimore steam
ers and when in Baltimore is a member of
a swell boxing club. He has taken lessons
from Jake Kilrain and is unusually clever
and quick.
The bout promises to be one of the best
that the club has had in some time. There
will be several preliminaries before the
main event.

BURGLAR IN POLICE HANDS.
sherman Thomas DepredatiOns VIII
Cease for Awhile.

sherman Thomas DepredatiOns VIII
Cease for Awhile.
The detectives have made an important
arrest in Sherman Thomas, negro, who
has been carrying on wholesale depreda
lions about the city since his arrival some
days ago from Dade, Fla.
1t was through the work of the detec-
tives that Thomas was caught in the act
of pawning stolen property, the discovery
OF which led to the exposure of many of
his felonious operations.
About the first house burgIarized nv
Thomas was that of c. Stevens, No. 81
JEFFERSON street. Here he carried away
clothing and many other articles of an
parel Among the spoils he CHANGED to get
bank book belonging to Stevens, which
was in pocket of one of the coats he
captured. The people reported the bur-
glary to police headquarters, but. of
course, could give no clue.
The coffee store of c. M Gilbert e. Co.
at Bay and West Broad streets, was the
next to receive a visit from some unknown
intruder. A suit of clothes and fine
watch constituted the spoils at that place.
besides these two places, there were other
less important thefts committed and
when they were reported, the detectives
determined to catch the thief
Pawn ticket No. 1920 was found to repre-
sent the goods which had been taken from
the Gilbert store. After the arrest of
Thompson on suspicion by Detective Soul
ly and Barrett the first thing pulled from
his pockets was pawn ticket No. 5000. The
next thing produced was the bank book
belonging to Stevens. Chief McDermott
thinks the man is a professional burglar,

FOOT BALL A COLLEGE SPORT.
The Training Too Hard and Severe
for Men Who Work.


The older the game of foot ball grows,
the more evident 1t becomes that the
game is strictly college sport. Up to
few years ago foot ball was not played
outside of the colleges at all, but for sew
eral years teams have been organized in
cities and by athletic organizations, with
indifferent success.
The reason foot ball is not a success
outside of colleges is that athletes cannot
be found who have the time to give TO
training for the game. For instance take
the teams which have been organized in
Savannah for the past few seasons. They
have always been composed of young men
who worked during the day, and who
could only practice at night time. As for
training, with possibly the exception of a
few of the members, none was attempted.
Foot ball is a game that requires a.
greater training, both physical and scien-
tiic, than any other sport, with the posi-
bic exception of rowing man to play
foot ball should be in the best possible
physical condition He should be able to
stand the punishment that he is likely to
receive In a game which is full of rough
but not necessarily brutal-playing. It

JUSTICE KING WINS.
He Will Remain Magistrate I'm the
Seventh Militia District.

Judge Falligant rendered his decision
yesterday in the contested election case
OF Robert Mcintosh against Mcleod King
for the office of justice Of the peace in the
Seventh militia district Judge Falligant
decided the case in favor of Justice King,
who is at present in possession of the
Office.
Mcintosh made various claims of fraud
and illegality with regard to the election,
but does not appear to have substantiated
them. Justice King was elected Aug. Il
last, and the contest was filed in the SUI
perior court Sept. 20 following.
The order deciding the case in favor of
King also required that execution issue
against Mcintosh for the costs in the case.
justice King was represented In the con-
test by Mr.. ]. G. Seasons.
James Quinn. colored, was arrested by
Oficer Kiley yesterday on the charge Of
drawing razor on Joseph J. Greenlaw,
who went to house near CASTOR and
West Broad streets Friday to collect rent
due him as agent. While conversation
was going on between Mr.. Greenlaw and
the tenants, Quinn stepped from behind
door, drew the weapon and ordered the
real estate man away. Mr.. Greenlaw did
not know the negroes name at the time
but later ascertained 1t and swore to
warrant before Justice Wickham for his
arrest. The justice bound Quinn to the

that men on non-colleglate teams cannot
possibly receive.
The foot ball team which was recently
organized has had one practice, but the
boys do not seem to take much interest
in it. Several of the older players have
declined to play and this is probably the
cause of the lack of interest. Some of
the boys are still of the opinion that a
team can be organized and they will make

The announcement in last Sundays
Morning News that Walter Gross and
Frank Williams would be reinstated in the
amateur racing class by the League of
American Wheelmen was received with
pleasure by several other riders who have
been made professionals upon technicali-
ties and their ignorance of the racing rules
1t is probable that AN riders who were
turned professionals and have never since
then or before raced for cash prizes will be
restored to the amateur class.
William Denhardt, secretary and treasu-
rer of the Georgia division of the L. A. W.,
has just returned from trip north. While
away he spent some time in Baltimore
as the guest of Albert Mott, the chair
man of the racing board and the status
of the racing men in Savannah was laid
before Chairman Mott. 1t resulted in the
chairman's promise to restore Gross and
Williams and any other riders who had
been made professionals on technical
rules. Mr.. Mott was shown that racing
until last year was almost new feature
in the south and many riders were ignor-
ant of the racing rules. Upon Mr.. Den
hardts assurance that the men had never
raced for cash he promised to have them
renStated.
There are several other riders who have
been placed in the professional class, who
viii probably be able to have their anna

SIGNALS, last spring, and W. e. Guerrard,
who paced a professional will have their
cases looked into by Secretary Denhardt.
The official reinstation of the riders cam
not be effected until February at the
league assembly. The consent of the en-
tire racing board is necessary for matters
of this kind but any recommendation of
Chairman Motifs is sure of being ac-
cepted.
Arthur Augustus Zimmerman, the Jer-
sey "Skeeter," is preparing for another
trial of his speed on the continent. Zim-
norman has signed a contract to race in
Paris next spring, and all France is eager
ly waiting for the arrival of the Flying
Yankee" as they call "Zim" on the other
side. Zimmermans work on the track
the past season showed that he cannot
yet be relegated to the ranks of the have
beens, and racing men say there is still
good stuff in the grinder" Zimmerman
was the only American rider whose work
abroad was really successful, and IT is to
be hoped that he will not fall down in his
coming attempt.
