barracks, to await hearing before the
recorder tomorrow
Willie Thornton resides in Yamacraw,
and. according to the story told at the po-
lice barracks by Minnie, sought her out.
When Minnie was missed from her home,
16l REYNOLDS street, by her parents, her
father at once reported the facts to the
police department and asked for assist
ance in locating his daughter. This was
given. through both the detective and po-
lice service. the result of which was the
finding of the girl about 10 o'clock yester-
day, at the house Of Willie Thornton in
Yamacraw.
In order to get at the truth of her leav-

BILE who were implicated in procuring her
to leave she was taken TO the barracks
and asked numerous questions, the an
swers to which tended TO seriously impli-
cate the negro woman TOW under arrest,
as well as Florence Beasley, another
negro who lives on Arnold street but
who has not yet been arrested. An UNI
known young man also figures in the af-
fair Minnie told a surprising story to
Chief McDermou, in the presence of her
father and sisters, who had gone to the
barracks. upon being informed that the
lost girl had been found She told that
Florence Beasley had induced her to go
to her house to meet a young man. that
she there became intoxicated and finally
landed at the Thornton house, where she
was apprehended by the officers.
It is thought at the barracks that this
latter woman has acted as procuress for
some one, whose Identity may be detected
and made known by the officers. Minnie
takes the error which she has committed
sadly to heart, and was more than willing
to go back to the home of her parents.

BOTH SUE TEE CENTRAL.
Steam From an Engine Frightened
n Horse and Resulted in Injuries

Steam From an Engine Frightened
Horse ana Resulted in Injuries.
Through their attorney, Judge II. d. D.
Twiggs, Granville Beville and his wife,
Roxey S. Bevin both filed suits in the city
court yesterday asking damages against
the Central of Georgia Railway Company
the former for $1,000 and the latter for 81
500.
1t is stated in the petition that on Aug
10, Bevill and his wife were driving on the
Louisville road with a horse and buggy
approaching the bridge upon which is the
track of the 'Y'' making the il notion with
the F. c. and p railroad. Standing on the
track just over the road the petitioner
states there was an engine unattached to
any train of cars, and apparently there
unnecessarily. After waiting about twenty
minutes to see what the engine was going
to do the petitioner says he supposed it
would remain as il was and drove on.
Just as Bevill was driving under the
bridge, it is stated someone opened a
steam cock on the engine making such a
loud noise that his horse, naturally a quiet
animal, ran away, overturning the buggy
in q ditch and throwing them out. Bevill
says both bones of his right leg were brok-
en- and he was otherwise badly bruised
The wife claims damages both on account
of the injuries to her husband as well as
to her self. The parties both claim the Cen
trail was negligent in leaving the engine
there when there was no need for ii, and
in allowing the steam to be turned on as it
was under such circums tances.

man. whose name could not be ascertained,
and he insisted that he would find. no
trouble in getting in.
He asked the conductor 81 he would
notify the quarantine officer of the fact
that he had no certificate of health, and
was assured by the latter that the infor-
nation would most certainly be given, as
the conductors are In duty bound to as
sist the quarantine officers in every way
they can. When the train arrived at Mel
drim the officer demanded to see the pas
scngers certificate. The latter did not
have q certificate, and the result was
that he was fired from the train.
But this did not seem to end the matter
for the last word heard from him was that
he intended to make his way into the city.
Whether he did so is not known. but it
is believed that he might have done so
had ne really desired to come here.
The railroad men say they do not see
anything TO prevent the people detained,
from coming into the city if they are de-
tcrmined to do So If stopped at Meldrim,
the road Is open to them by foot or pri-
waite conveyance to Savannah or TO the
next station this way from the quarantine
for the city.
A railroad man who came up night be
fore last from Brunswick, stated that
his train was boarded al Everett by the
quarantine officers, who went hurriedly
through the cars examining the certfi
Gates. The train then pulled out and Moth

nothing to prevent anyone so disposed get
ting off the cars on the side
opposite to that boarded by the officers,
and then waiting until the train had start
ed again before climbing back aboard.
1t is said also that one of the shoo-fiy
trains on the Central passed Meldrim
without being boarded by the officers.
Though this train is made up at the sta
tons up the road, where there is no fever;
there remains the possibility of anyone
coming to one of those towns from an in
fected place and from there getting into
the city on account of the failure of the
quarantine officer to board the train to
examine the papers of the passengers

BUTTIMER LOSES HIS CONTRACT.
Was Unable to Comply with the
Conditions Laid Down by Council.

Conditions Laid Down by Council.
NJ. A. Ruttimer has lost his contract for
the work Of the o. e. M. department
This announcement was made by Mayor
Meldrim last night at the meeting of
council held to consider the question of
quarantine.
1t has already been stated that many
complaints had been made of Mr. Butti-
mer's failure to keep up the work of the
department, and that a special meeting of
council was held Thursday night to con-
slider the subject. Mr. Buttmer made
strong plea for consideration at this meet
ing, and the result was the adoption of
resolution giving Mr.. Buttimer until 6
O'Clock p. m. yesterday to complete the
delayed work.
As stated in the Morning News, Mr..
Buttimer had poor luck in securing teams
and was also delayed by an attachment of
same of his apparatus, so that he accom-
plished but little Friday. Although he
worked hard all day yesterday he fell
considerably short of the work required of
him.
MIR. w. r. Leaken appeared before the
committee of the whole of council last
night as counsel for Mr. ,Buttimer and is
understood to have stated that all liabi-
tiles of Mar. Buttimer on account of teams
and apparatus had been satisfactorily ar
ranged, and that his client was
ready to begin work with a full equipment
Monday morning.
What the other features of the case SUBJ
mitted to the consideration of the commit
tee were. is not known.
Mayor Meldrim briefly announced at the
conclusion of the meeting last night that
Mr.. Buttimer. having failed to comply
with the conditions laid down by council
al previous meeting, by the performance
of which he was to retain his contract
the contract was set aside and declared
null and void
Some arrangement will doubtless be
made to-day or tomorrow for the contin-
uance Of the work
Just before council adjourned, Mr.. But
timer was met by a Morning News re-
porter ia the corridor OF the city exchange.
He was asked about what action council
had taken with reference to his contract
with the city. He replied that he did not
know what action it had taken, nor what
action it would take. He spoke as though
he had about given up all hope of holding
on TO the contract with the city any
longer.
There are certain parties. who have
hindered me in every possible way" he
said. Il could have easily finished the
work Of cleaning the vaults had it not been
for certain delays, which, ] believe, were
caused to throw me out of my contract
with the city. No, do not know what
action council will take on my case. l am
now going home.''

BACK FROM THE WEST.
MIR. Murphey Says Everything Ont
There Is KIOmdil<e.


Mr.. w. c. Murphey, travelling passenger
agent for the Southern Pacific railroad, re-
turned to the city yesterday, after an alb
sence of some two months. Mr. Murphey
left Savannah in the interest of his road
at the time of the movement of the Chris
tan Endeavorers to the Pacific coast. He
did some good work with the returning
eXcursionists, and the Southern Pacific
was one of the most popular of the many
routes back to the east that were taken.
Mr.. Murphey says that the refusal of the
Texas points to allow passengers who
have come via New Orleans to pass
through is cutting down receipts, as much
business has been through the city now
under the ban. The travel is now going
by way of Memphis and Shreveport. Dur
ing his long stay in the west Mr. Murphey
visited Portland and other cities in that
section. He found there the Klondike
excitement intense. The thing has even
gone so far as to cause nearly all the
merchants to replace their usual clothing
advertisements with glowing accounts of
splendid Klondike outfits that can be Sc
cured at their places.
