CITY BREVFTIES.

Yesterday was the warmest day of
spring thus far. Mercury went up to 50
degrees, and the average for the day was
Y degrees.
The rule of the road ordinance went into
effect yesterday. There was visible
turning to the right" by both drivers, BIZ
cyclists and pedestrians.
The street hacks made an effort last
night to comply with the ordinance passed
by the city council, requiring them to car
ry lights. Some had lanterns hung on the
dashboards, good many burned candles
in the lamp frames and several had bicy-
Gle lamps attached to the sides OF the
hacks.

The session of the recorders court was
brief yesterday, justice being administered
with other than it's proverbial slowness
The offenders against the citys laws were
few and each case was adjudged with
swftnesS and sureness. Sallie Porter was
fiued 81 or two days in the barracks for
playing base ball on Broughton street
Salile is a colored girl with a boys love
for the game, and it's indulgence in for
hidden Fairgrounds caused the trouble
James Roberts was fined $40 for shooting
craps, and Philip Walker was discharged
on an accusation of gambling. John john
son was accused of having tried to strike
]. r. johnson, but he got nothing worse
than an acquittal. Joe Dean slept on the
premises of another, and the recorder
turned Deans minute person over to his
parents for a whipping.

How Rosa sigers Unfortunate Com
ditiOn Was Brought About

FOVv Rosa sigePs Unfortunate Con-
ditiOn Was Brought About
Rosa Sigel was adjudged lunatic by
jury in the court of ordinary yesterday
and was ordered sent to the state lunatic
asylum at once. The evidence in the case
revealed a very peculiar state of facts
and pitiful story, showing the evil re-
suit from improper attention.
Her difficulty dates from a time shortly
after the birth of her child, about three
months ago She was attended by a mid
wife, who, It was stated. was not licensed,
Mrs Sigers unfortunate condition. The
midwife, whose name was Gordon, AMI
who has since left the city, concluded that
her patient had too much blood, and she
used the dry-cupping process. She cup
ped Mrs Sigel no less than fifty-four
times. leaving her in a thoroughly ex-
hausted state. both physically and mem
tally.
Mrs. sgeIs serious mental trouble fol-
lowed soon after this, and she had TO be
taken to the Savannah hospital.
aud closely confined, to prevent
her doing herself any injury.
Her madness Is OF the delusiy
sort, and she imaglnes all sorts OF things.
such as the presence OF people, and she
talks 10 them. though there is really no
one present.
After hearing the evidence. the fury
was satisfied OF the patients insanity.
and ordered her sent 10 the asylum. She
will probably be sent TO Milledgeville this
morning.

SOUTH BRoAD.s NEW NAME.
The Next Thing, n Change of Adj
dresses md New Street Signs.


The adoption by the city council OF the
name oglethorpe avenue for South Broad
street appears 10 have surprised a good
many people, who had given no particular
attention to the matter. South Broad
street, good many declare, is good
enough for them, and South Broad street

BY the great majority Of people the
change appears to be regarded with in
dlnerence, but there seems to be more
VINO favor the change than there are that
oppose.
a prominent physician, in speaking of
the matter, said that he had no particu-
lar attachment to South Broad as
name Tor any street, but he had much
rather, ne said, have seen the council
hohor Oglethorpe by bestowng his name
upon Bun street, which he regarded as
pre-emlnently the principal avenue of the
clty. The name of Bull street, he said,
Is not particularly euphonious. and the
man from whom It was named had but
siiSht connection with the city, having
SIMPLY rendered some friendly Offices to
the coionlsts when the colony was first
settled. The name of Oglethorpe should
nave been given that street, he thought,
ana some other name found for South
Broad street
BY the time the name Oglethorpe ave-
nue. appears on the corner street signs
ana the residents on the street change
thelr addresses from South Broad street
to oglethorpe avenue, the old name will
soon become thing of the past and new
corners TO the city and the rising genera
uoh Will only know the street by its legal
name OF Oglethorpe avenue

NO PROOF OF HIS GUILT.
Walter Terrell Dismissed by Com
missioner COnnoIIx

Walter B. Terrell of Liberty county, who
was arrested for breaking and entering
the Gum Branch postoffice was given a.
hearing before Commissioner NJ A. Con-
molly yesterday, and as a result was dis
charged, because the United States wit
nesses failed to make out a case strong
enough to hold him for the grand jury.
During the taking of testimony ii de-
veloped that Terrell white boy about II
years of age, was a reader of the Jesse
James kind of literature. On the night
of March q the postoffice was entered bv
unlocking the door with the regular KEY
All the assets of the office. $1.01, were taken
and carried off. During the same night
the money was returned to the Office
1t seems that the thief was disturbed
about the consequences of his act and. re-
ceiving an intimation that the penitentiary
was looming up in the distance, returned
the money. There was no direct testi-
mony to this effect, but the story of the as
sistant postmaster made out such q state
of affairs. The key to the postofice was
taken from its secret hiding place and used
to effect aR entrance.
AS there was no breaking, no entering
and no larceny, which could be proved. the
prisoner was sent on his way rejoicing
accompanied by his mother an attorney,
and a few friends from Liberty county.

GUARDS NOT LIKELY TO GO.
The Cost of the Nashville Exposition
Trip Too Great.


The Savannah Volunteer Guards Will
probably not go to the Nashville exposi-
ton. From the first it was known that
the trip was contingent upon the securing
of low railroad rates. Those rates have
not been granted, and it is more than
likely that the battalion will not 60
1t was understood that application for
a greatly reduced rate would be made to
the recent meeting of the general passen-
ger agents at Nashville, but for some rea-
son the application was not presented,
and none but the prevailing rates can
now be obtained.
The officers having the matter of ar
rangements for the trip in charge, Capt.
w. w. Williamson, Company A, and
Capt. w. w. Mackall, Company D., are
anxious to have the men go, if proper
concessions from the railroads can be OBJ
tanned, but they do not feel
that the trip should be made if the cost
is too great. If the rates remain as they
have been promulgated, the expense of
the trip would be greater than the officers
care to have the men bear, and they will
render an unfavorable report to the meet
ing of the corps.
If any kind of an arrangement is yet
made, however. by which the battalion
can go without its costing too much the
committee viii so advise.

by A PISTOL SHOT.
A Negro Boys story of His MIsfOr-

Henry Bachelor, a young negro boy,
has been sleeping in the police barracks
for the last two nights. His right arm is
paralyzed as the result of a pistol shot
wound which evidently never received
proper treatment.
The boy seems very ignorant and una
BILE to give much of an account of himself
To a Morning News reporter who saw
him last night Bachelor said he was acct
dentally shot some time ago at Waycross
where he lived. by Mr.. Sonny" Devlne.
When asked what he was doing In Savan-
nah he said he came here with Mr.. De-
vine, who left him on a street corner, tell
ing him to await his return. He waited
some time, but Mr. Devine did not re-
turn and he had been unable to find him.
1t is more than likely that the boy stray
ed away from tha corner and that IL was
Mr. Devine who could not find him. Chief
McDermott advised Bachelor to start out
this morning on a walk to Waycross.

He Kept His Seat.

From Youths Companion.
During one Of the naval engagements
Of the late war a sailor by the name of
John Davis performed an act Of bravery
that has rarely been equaled. While
the battle was at it's height shell en-
tered the Valley City, Of which ship
Davis was gunner's mate, and exploded
on the berth deck, setting it on fire.
Captain Chaplin, the commander of
the vessel, jumped down into the maga-
zine, and while directing his men to
extinguish the flames, passed up with
his own hands the loose cylinders Of
powder. The fireworks on board became
ignited. Rockets whizzed and blue
lights blazed up in the very midst Of the
ammunition. The shell room caught
fire, and it seemed as il the Valley City
must be blown to pieces.
John Davis, appreciating the danger,
and desirous of doing all in his power to
avert it, jumped up on an open barrel of
gunpowder and sat down on the head,
covering it with his person as we'll as he
could to protect it from the shOwerlng
sparks.
Captain Chaplin, seeing him quietly
seated while everybody else was at work,
ordered him in peremptory tones to "get
down and help put out the fire.
The young gunner's mate stayed where
he was and calmly replied
"Don't you see, sir, can'tH For if 1 do
the sparks will fall into the powder. II |
get down, Captain, we shall oil 90 up"
Notwithstanding the terrible danger,
Captain Chaplin could not repress q
smile, and Davis heroic action was re-
warded after the battle by immediate
promotion.

When UmbrelIaa were EIrgt Used.

From Harper's Round Table.
Umbrellas are Of great antiquity;
among the Greeks they we're a mark Of
elevated rank, and one is seen on a
Hamilton vase in the hands of a princess.
We find the umbrella figured upon the
ruins Of Persepolis; and the Romans
carried 1t at the theRter TO keep off the
sun. Yet Coryate, the traveller, in 1911,
notices the umbrellas of Italy asrsTities.
These and other umbrellas are only de-
scribed for keeping off the sun, which
may be explained by the comparative
scarcity Of rain in the above countries,
The frequency Of rain in other lands led
to their being used for a very different
purpose. Jonas Hauway is described TO
have been the first to walk the streets Of
London with an umbrella over his head,
which he had probably used in his
travels in the East. And in 1778 one
John Macdonald, a footman, was ridi-
culed for carrying in the streets an UNI
brella which he had brought from Spain;
however, as he tells US, he persisted for
three months in carrying his umbrella,
till people took no further notice OF the
novelty.

Victoria and a silver currency introduced.
AS the people become more civilized and
their wants increase there will be, it is
believed, an increased demand for foreign
goods.
OF special interest from the point of
view of intending colonists is the Nandi
country, also visited by Lieutenant
Vandeleur. This region lies at an aver
age height OF 5000 feet above the sea,
and has a climate we'll suited to Euro
peans. The thermometer here rarely
rises above 80 degrees and the nights are
cold. There is abundance Of grass for
cattle, and for the most part the soil is
very fertile, Timber is to be had in
great plenty, a circumstance which will
have great Importance for steamers on
Lake Victoria and for the railway when
completed to the coast. The lecturer men

MIIIIona Out Of sharks.

From the San Francisco Argonaut.
Old Mrs. Oliveros, who has Just died
in Paris, used to dress like beggar and
at the same time drive in a very sump-
tuous carriage. Her husband had for
many years almost the monopoly Of the
shark trade, and used to be fond Of OK
patiatiug, at his famous dinner parties,
on the usefulness Of this fish. The liver
of the shark contains an oil possessing
medicinal qualities equal to those of the
cod. The skin, after being dried, takes
the hardness and polish Of mother o
pearl, and, being marbled and resem-
bling fossil coral, is largely used by
jewelers. for the manufacture Of fancy
objects, by binders for making sbagreen,
and by cabinet-makers for polishing
woods. The glue from the fins ia used
by brewers, English silk manufacturers,
ETC. Mrs Oliveros left $2000,00O--all
