WATCHING THE CYCLISTS.
Police Taking the Names of Viola
tors of City Ordinances.

Seven bicyclists were fined 81 each by
the recorder yesterday morning for riding
over the gratings of the sidewalk corners
on Bull street and similar cases against
several others were continued because of
the non-appearance Of the parties If the
recorder finds that the latter are remain
ing away from court without good cause
he will order them brought in the patrol
wagon.
Several cyclists are on the docket for
Friday and more names will doubtless be
added to the list to-day and tomorrow.
Policeman Mock, who has been stationed
on Bull street between State and Congress
with special instructions to watch the BIZ
cyclists, is performing this duty very vigil
lantly, and it is a lucky bicyclist who
crosses the grating without being caught
by Mock's eagle eye. If he does not man.
age TO stop the bicycliBt in time his name
goes down in the book anyway and the
next thing is summons to appear before
the recorder No favor is shown the ladies,
and the names of two or three lady cy-
clists are on the docket for Friday.
Many of the wheelmen are so accustomed
to riding across the gratings that they
continue to do SO as a matter of habit, and
do not think of the ordinance until they
are already across. They are lucky II they
are not seen by the policeman. On account
of the dips in the pavement at the cor
ners of Bull and State streets
it is much easier for wheelman to ride
across the gratings than to make the cir
cult around the dips. An expert wheel
man said TO a Morning News reporter
yesterday, that the enforcement of the
ordinance is a hardship on the bicyclists
in some Instances, as the drivers of four
FEfhpn1aA Aft 1ntrr l.
to the curb that a wheelman coming
from the opposite direction, is sometimes
forced as a matter of self preservation
to cross the gratings in order to avoid
being run into. The tendency of hack
and carriage drivers, especially to dis
regard the rules of the road increases
this danger.
while the bicyclsts are being made to
toe the mark so squarely," said the wheel
man." why should not council adopt
some measures to require the drivers of
vehicles to observe the rules of the road
The average driver pays no attention
whatever to the rules of the road. and
drives on the left side of the street as
often as on the right Not only this but
they frequently drive around the left side
of the squares without any reason what
ever for doing so. II is all right that the
bicyclists should be required to conform
to the ordinances, but in justice to them
and to the public as well all drivers
should be required to conform to the rules
OF the road Nearly all accidents be-
tween bicycles and vehicles are due to
one party or the other being on the wrong
side of the road"
While the police are watching Bull
street to enforce the boulevard ordinance
and keep the bicyclists off the gratings,
it might be just as well for them to ex-
ercise some of their vigilance in enforcing
the rules of the road

POISON IN THE BTsQUITs.
A Careless Cooks Fatal Deed over
in Carolina.


in Carolina.
A white man named Harrison was in the
city yesterday for the purpose of securing
a coffin for 9-year-old white boy named
Green who had just died at Jonesville,
S. c., ten or fifteen across the river from
Savannah.
Mr.. Harrison told Coroner Goette, from
whom he secured the coffin. that young.
Green's mother and two sisters had come
to Savannah Monday TO trade. leaving the
boy at home with a negro playmate OF his
own age, together with the negro cook.
In making biscuits for the boys dinner the
cook used some -four which had been left
in q pan In the pantry, mixing It with
what she took for yeast After eating the
biscuits both boys were taken very sick
When young Green's mother arrived at
home the boy was in a dying condition,
and died shortly after. The negro boy was
stil living when Mr.. Harrison left jones'

that either the -four which the cook had
used had been baited for rats or that the
cook had mistaken rat poison for yeast

TOOK EN- ron SAFE BLOWERS.
Clayton Alarmed Over Three stroll
ing Negro Musicians.


The detectives were laughing last night
over what they consider good joke on
the people of the little city of Guyton
For the last two weeks gang of safe
blowers has been making a tour of the
southern portion of the state and has
successfully cracked several safes A few
nights ago three negro musicians landed
in Guyton.
1t was on Saturday night, and there
were many negroes on the streets, and
yet the three stranger musicians did not
tune up their instruments and seek to at
tract a crowd around them after the man
ner of their kind, but remained silent and
tuneless at one end of the town This
of itself was ground for suspicion, and
caused talk. Among others who saw TIE
party was the agent of the Southern Ex-
press Company at Guyton, to whom it
Immediately occurred that the musicians
answered the descriptions which had
betn sent out of the three negro safe
blowers. All sthree of the negroes were
big strong, athletic fellows, and it was
evident that they would not submit to
arrest-easily. The agent quietly notified
a rLmber of his friends and requested
them to arm themselves for the capture
of the noted safe-blowers.
The news spread like wildfre, and in a
short time half the town of Guyton was
to the quarter of the town, however, where
the tuneless musicians had kept them
selves, the objects of their quest were
missing and could not be found anywhere.
1t was reported that they had been seen
going in the direction of Savannah. The
express agent wired a lengthy telegram to
Chief McDermott describing the must
clans and telling of their strange con-
duct while in Guyton and the efforts made
there to apprehend them. Now, as it hap
pens, Chief McDermott has been watch
ing for the safeblowers to make their APP
pearance in Savannah. The last he heard
of them, however. they were in Atlanta.
He turned the telegram over to the detec-
tives with Instructions to pick up the
musicians if they showed up in Savan-
nah.
The three negroes, with their musical
instruments with which they had not re-
called the people were found on Brough-
ton street last night by Detectives Scully
and Godbold and taken to the barracks.
They easily succeeded in proving who they
were and whore they were from. 1t was
evident that they were not the safeblow-
ers. and they were accordingly ordered
released.

WATERS RoAD's IMPROVEMENT.
When Completed 1t VIII Give IA New
Boulevard Drive.

The work of hardening Waters road is
well under way. The track of the Savan-
nah and Isle of Hope railroad, which has
been moved TO the west side of the high
way is being utilized for hauling material
The locomotive and cars engaged in haul
ing the gravel use the Belt Line track on
Estill avenue as far as Habersham street.
From that point to Waters road a new
track has been put down TO Waters road
where 1t connects with the unused track
of the Savannah and Isle of Hope rail-
way.
1t looks rather odd to see a locomotive
and train of cars so far away from the
main lines OF railroad transportation.
When the work of hardening the Waters
road is finished, there viii be good fine
mile track for vehicles and bicycles, cir
cling half the city viz; Starting from the
corner of South Broad or Liberty streets
through Bull street 20 Estill avenue, thence
to Waters road and to the toll gate,
through Wheaton street back by either of
the first named streets to Bull street, or
the route can be reversed
These Improvements must result in the
rapid development Of a large area ada
cent to the city. When the next boom"
arrives it win carry the city even beyond
the limits Of the highways, which are now
being hardened.
