MAY ENJOIN THE RAILWAY.
Margaret Street Residents Are OPP
posed to Car Tracks.

Margaret Street Residents Are OPP
posed to Car Tracks.
1t looks as if there is to be some oppo-
sition to the action of council in allow
ing the Suburban and West End railway
to lay its line along Margaret street. A
petition was submitted TO council at the
meeting Wednesday night asking that the
report of the street and lane committee be
not adopted. The petitioners were repre-
sented by Mr. Walter Hartridge. who laid
the objections of the property owners be-
fore the board of aldermen. There was
also another petition asking that the re-
port be adopted. Each Of these was re-
ceived as information and the board
adopted the report recommending that
the railway be allowed to run its line up
Margaret street to West Broad.
Some of the property owners, who do
not approve of the action of council in
granting permission for the track to be
laid up Margaret street, are talking about
securing an injunction to keep the rail-
way from going to work in laying the
track. There is only one thing that has
prevented their having done this, and
that is that they do not yet know that
they have sufficient grounds upon which
TO ask for an injunction If they thought
that the court would enjoin the company
there is no question that the petition
would be submitted
The chief objection to the track being
laid seems to be that Mar
garet street is regarded as
too narrow. The members of the street
and lane committee, however, do not in
cline TO this opinion. They hold that
there is enough room on either side of the
car line to admit of an eleven-foot wagon
way. This is considered ample room by
the committee. The property owners that
object to the road also say that the cars
will make too much noise, and that in
such a narrow street it would be simply
deafening. The railway company has al
ready had its trolley posts distributed
along the intended route and work on the
track will soon be commenced in the
event there is 10 injunction secured.

THE Loss OF THE GUNS,
were Not Insured, and the RespOn-
sibfIity Is in Doubt.

Is III OOuDUs
1t is likely that an effort will be made
at an early date to raise the four guns
which were sunk with the schooner Agnes
l. Grace off Tybee Island. AS they are
lying on the deck of the ship, which is
still upright, it is hardly possible for them
to sink in the sand and they can easily
be reached by divers.
An interesting question has arisen as to
VINO will have TO stand the damages for
their sinking. The government, ii is un-
derstood did not have them insured. con-
sidering that q contract with the owners
OF the schooner for their delivery at a GER
tain time was sufficient insurance. II is
said under these circums tances the gov
eminent may try to hold the owners re-
sponsibie. On the other hand, a claim is
made that the guns which are said to
have been loaded by government employees.
were not properly put aboard the schoon-
er, and that is why they broke loose and
caused her to sink, On this ground IL is
intimated that the owners of the schooner
may put in claim against the govern
ment for the loss of the vessel The situ-
alton will no doubt lead to a suit in admir-
atty or in the court of claims, and under
the circumstances such a litigation will
be an interesting one. The schooner was
an old one, and carried no Insurance.

PAWNED A TYPEWRITER

Arrested in Augusta.

Arrested in Augusta.
Two months ago, J. D. Cameron, young
man some % years of a&s was in savan-
nah and engaged himself about the city
as stenographer and typewritist. Cam
eron called upon bearing & Hull who deal
in typewriters and supplies, and there ar
ranged to hire a writing machine. Short
ly afterward, however he pawned the
machine to Max Hirsch, the money
broker for the sum of $50. He Immediate
ly left the city and made his future head
quarters in Nashville. 1t was known in
Savannah that Cameron was<in Nashville,
but the loss of only $40 would scarcely
warrant the trouble to which the aggriev-
ed party would be put in obtaining requl-
sition papers of Gov. Taylor of Tennessee
and of incurr.ng other necessary expenses
1t was, therefore, thought best to defer
nearer Savannah. Intelligence was re-
ceived at the police barracks late yester-
day afternoon that he was in the employ
of the Augusta and Knoxville railroad at
Augusta. Chief McDermott wired the au-
thorities at Augusta to arrest Cameron
and later received information that the
man had been arrested. officer Shea eft

win return with the prisoner this after
noon. Beside being a stenographer and
typewritist, Cameron is also a sklful tele-
graph operator.
