feared a difficulty with keenan, because
the latter was the greatest athlete in the
fire department. He said that keenan,
was a football center rush, and was
known to be the strongest and most agile
man in the nremen's force Of the city
always boAsting that he did not
have much brains, but a lot of muscular
force, which he could display on short no
tice, il anybody wanted to test IL. He
stated that he had a pistol which had
been entrusted to his keeping by a friend
to be mended. It was broken In the
cylinder rod. and he had put a wooden
rod in place of the iron that held the cylin-
der in place. He had this in his pocket
when Keenan, came into the fire engine
house that day and began cursing at him,
and followed il up by striking him and
telling him from his chair to the ground.
Then he reached for his pistol, and, grasp
ing it, tussled with keenan, until they
were out on the sidewalk. and then he
shot it in the air, hoping that the sound
would cause keenan, to cease his attack
on him. When he found that it did not
stop him, he fred again, and again, un-
til he had emptied all of the chambers,
five in number, into his antagonist. Such
was the trend of his statement.
Ex-ttre Chief Puder was sworn for the
defense, and declared that he had always
found Keenan, to be a good man in the
service, but stated that he had been dis
charged on the report that he was drink
ing. He said that he saw Keenan, down
town just prior to the killing, and that
keenan, told him he was on his way up
TO the engine house to have 1t out with
Tom Ponder.
Chief of Police McDermott was next on
the stand for the defense His testimony
was with special reference to his going to
the scene of the killing and making the
arrest. He stated that when he arrived
there Ponder had put on his coat and told
him that he had killed Keenan, because
Keenan, had assaulted him.
r. G.. Glass, was another witness for the
defense who swore that Keenan, had made
an attack on Ponder running him out of
the engine house and that Ponder did not
begin to shoot at him till he was on the
outside, and that keenan, was pursuing
him with his attack. When cross ques-
toned he stated that the ball might have
gone over the cemetery when Ponder first
fired instead of towards the engine house
Mrs. Dowett was an important witness
for the defense, her testimony being to
the effect that she had passed the fire en-
CINE house and overheard Keenan, saying
to some of his fellow fremen that he was
going to do up Ponder.
With these witnesses, and the stories
they told, running over the same general
ground pretty much, but varying in some
particulars the two sides in the case clos
ed the evidence.
Judge Falligant stated that there was no
chance of completing the case last night
and announced that the court would take
a recess until this morning at 10 o'clock
when the case will be resumed.
Messrs. Fleming G. duBignon and Pope
Barrow represent the defendant and
Messrs w. w. Fraser and Thomas S. Nor

MAY SAVE SOME OF ITS FUNDS.
Fire Department Appropriation Not
For the New Engine House.


For the New Engine House.
1t is likely that the fire commission will
not have to charge against its appropria-
ton its entire expenditure upon the new
No. engine station.
At special meeting of the city couu-
ell yesterday a communication was re-
ceived from Chairman Grayson of the fire
commission, requesting that the commits
sioners be given a hearing before the
status of the expenditures upon the new
engine house. is finally decided The decis-
ion Of the special committee to which this
matter was referred a little over two
weeks ago, was that all the expenditures
of the fire commission upon the new build
ing, including the payment of the first
purchase note of s., $50 in January should
be charged against the fire department
appropriation, and the public property APP
preparation to which these expenditures
had been charged cleared.
After hearing Chairman Grayson'S COM
munication someone inquired for infor-
nation. Alderman We'll, chairman of the
committee on accounts, stated that since
the committee had made up it's report it
had received a good deal of new informa-
ton relative to the action of the last coun-
Gil, showing lIdl lndl COuACll Ildl lutGHu-
ed that the fire commission should get the
benefit of the public property appropria-
ton, or a portion of it, this being done in
lieu of an increase in the fire department
budget on account of the new building.
The committee, he said, would hold an
other meeting to consider the matter, to
which Mr.. Grayson would be invited. The
committee will probably report at the
next meeting of council.
Alderman We'll said after the meeting
that Col. Garrard chairman of the finance
committee of the last council. had been
called up by telephone and inquired of as
to the intention of council In making the
public property appropriation. Col. Gar
rard was understood to reply that it was
not intended the fire commission should
have the benefit of this appropriation. He
had been seen later, however, and had
stated that he was misunderstood and
that the last council. in making the public
property appropriation, intended that the
! fire commission should share in its bene-
fits Fx-Mayor Myers had also given the
| same information. A report to this effect
| was stated TO have been made by the
finance committee during the latter part of
the last administration. Alderman We'll
said that he would have this report looked
mn.

Song Festivals Opening Presenta-
ton n Success.

Song Festivals Opening Presenta-
ton n Success.
The patriotic song festival at Masonic
hall last night under the direction of Mrs
NJ. L Silva, assisted by Messrs. w. F.
Blois and Julian Walker, attracted large
audience. The hall was we'll filed and the
splendid rendition of the songs dear to
American and southern hearts met with
hearty appreciation.
The care. and ability with which the
large chorus Of 100 children had been re-
hearsed was evinced by the success of the
entertainment. The greater number of
those in the chorus occupied a tier of
seats on the stage, which was artisticauy
draped with American flags and red, white
and blue bunting. In an elevated position
among the chorus stood Miss Eckstein,
the impersonation Of America. The scene
was a pretty one and the children seemed
to catch the patriotic enthusiasm of the
songs. Others of the chorus occupied
places on the floor of the hall
The first song was America" which
was rendered by the chorus and was fol-
lowed by ten little tots, who sang a song
of George Washington. Way Down Up
on the Suwanee River" was sung by a
seni-chorus and the chorus.
"How the Poem, Star Spangled Ban
ner' Came To Be Written" was an essay
interestingly written and admirably read
by Miss Lola Moynelo, after which the
song Star Spangled Banner was rem
dered by Mr. w. F. Blois and the cho-
rus with great success.
when 1 Was Little Girl" sung by
nine little grandmothers, won an encore.
The chorus and a semi-chorus sang
proudly Our Banner" Where Are You
Going TOP" charmingly sung by Miss
Laleah Cox and Master Harold Moynelo,
was so greatly appreciated that its second
rendition was insisted upon.
Mr.. Walker and the chorus received lib
era1 applause for THE Red, White and
Blue" Nerves" was sung by fifteen lit
tie boys, and the festival was closed by
| the chorus with Dixie"
Miss Emma Coburn was accompanist
and Mr. D. Spring the bugler. Master Ed

MAY ATTACK THE INSURANCE..
A Suit For Damages Against tho
Plant system For $4,000.

Plant System For $4,000.
The suit of S. l. Caldwell against the
Plant system for $4,000 alleged damages
may bring on a test of the regulations of
the railroad company in its relief and hos
pital department.
The Plant system has such a department
and all employees are required to be mem
bers OF 1t. In the contract for relief and
hospital advantages the members of this
department are allowed certain amounts
in case of injury and death as insurance,
and they pay certain amounts per month
to maintain the department
The question as to whether they have a
right to bring suit against the company
for personal injury under such an agree
ment may be tested in the case mentioned
"a suit for alleged damages in a wreck
of a freight train near O'Brien, Fla The
petitioner sets forth the claim that the
wreck was caused by a freight box car
being left carelessly on the track, into
which the freight train plunged. He
claims to have been thrown from his en-
CINE down an embankment, and that he
was seriously injured for life both extern
ally and internally. The suit has been
filed in the city court.
