City and County liberties Investi-
eating 1t.


Another vaccination boom is in order in
Savannah. 1t was reported to Health Off
Ger LeHardy yesterday that there were or
had been three cases of smallpox at Bur
roughs. twelve miles from the city on the
Savannah. Florida and Western and Flor
ida. Central and Peninsular railroads. All
three of the tents were negroes.
The party giving the information stated
that one of the negroes had been taxed
sick here, then went to Burroughs, Whel e
he had the disease, and that ne was IN
the city yesterday with the marks OF the
smallpox still upon him.
DR.. LeHardy at once notified the CnieI
of police of the facts, and requested HIN
to have the detectives look up the small
pox men. He also notified the county
authorities, Burroughs being in Chatham
county. DR.. T. B. Chisholm, county ply
sician, was instructed by Chairman Dale
of the county commissioners to proceed at
once to Burroughs to investigate, and to
take such steps as he saw fit to prevent
the spread of the disease should the report
prove true.
THE number of cases of smallpox at
Atlanta and other places is on the in
crease" said DR.. LeHardy, land it is the
part of wisdom to take precautions
against 1t. Vaccination should be gener-
ally undertaken"

gIed Goods offered for Sale.
Brunswick, Ga, Oct. S0-Special Agent
Thornton of the treasury department to-
day exposed one of the greatest swindling
games ever worked on the local public.
1t relates to the sale of alleged struggled
wooden goods TO private individuals by men
claiming to be from various English ships
in ports. The game as played, was for
one of several workers to take out pieces
of alleged wooden goods cut in suiting
strips and offer them under the rose" 10
private parties. An incentive to the pur-
chase was the prospect of beating the gov
eminent by buying smuggled goods. Vic
Tins were plentiful and about fifty suits of
ordinary American cotton goods are now
on Brunswickers hands. The cloth Is
worth about 25c per yard and when chew
ed upon for a test dissolves its colors
into liquid shape, leaving the dingy cotton
cloth showing boldly. The expose made by
Special Agent Thornton proves that the
sellers of this stuff are not off English
ships now in port, but shrewd Americans
who play upon mans known credulity.
About the time the English trade starts
from southern ports in the fall these
swindlers appear. The dress in seaman's
garb, have a speech well prepared. and
catch suckers readily. Mr.. Thornton has
been working up the cases of supposed
smuggling for some days. Pieces of goods
stamped with American firms name that
were sold as English smuggled goods are
now in his possession. This and other
evidence caused the expose of the facts

IN THE RAILROAD WORLD.
Items of Interest to Savannah and
Elsewhere.

Elsewhere.
The decision of the supreme court in
the injunction proceedings. brought by
some of the citizens of Americus in the
court of the circuit in which that city is
located against the officials of the Georgia
and Alabama railroad moving their gem
eral Offices to Savannah has not yet been
handed down.
Messrs. Charlton, Mackan & Anderson,
attorneys for the rQad are expecting the
decision to be rendered daily. One of the
members of the firm said yesterday that
he feels no doubt about the decision. The
ease with which the case was won by the
road in the lower court indicates to his
mind that there will hardly be any ques-
ton with the supreme court as to the JUS
tice of their side.
A member of the Savannah bar, who
has just returned from Atlanta says the
court has discontinued its hearings, and
will devote the next few days to the con-
sideration of those that have been heard.
1t Is thought the Georgia and Alabama
case will have a decision handed down
about tomorrow or Tuesday.
The hearing before Judge Pardee of the
United States court of the case to settle
the IeaSeuOlI OIL the Georgia railroad Will
be held, Nov. 5, at Atlanta. The counsel
of the parties at interest has been notified
to be present on that day for the final
hearing. 1t is desired to have the question
as to who holds the lease on the road set
tied. Thomas and Ryan are the plain
tiffs. They want to have a voice in the
management of the road. They say they
own a half interest in it, which was pur-
chased by them upon the reorganization
of the old Central Railway COMPANY The
Louisville and Nashville owns one half of
the lease, and it is claimed that Gen.
eral Manager T. K. Scott Of the Georgia,
has entered into collision with the Louis
VILE and Nashville, by which certain lille
galities in the management are practiced.
The Louisville and Nashville claims that
the half interest in the lease does not be-
long to Thomas and Ryan. 1t is claimed
that the Central did not keep il covered
with securities, as the law provided. while
it was owned by that road, and that this
fact cancelled its ownership.

exciting contest on the varsity gridiron
to-day by "a score of 30 to 0.
The game was marked by its fierceness
and the fact that the Tigers goal was
dangerously threatened in the first half a
touchdown being avoided only through a
decision of the referee who gave the ball
to Princeton when on the 15-yard line for
holding in the line. Princeton's Interior
ence and team work in the first half was
extremely ragged and individual playing
accounted for the three touchdowns made

MAYOR ANDREWS VIEWS.

At the convention of mayors, which

question of municipal ownership of mo-
nopolies was discussed Mayor An
drews, of this city, was in ATTENDANCE
and the Columbus Evening Press quotes
him rs saying: 81 favor municipal
ownership OF lighting plants and water
works, but have some doubts that the
municipal ownership of street railways
Is good thing. The time is not quite
ripe for municipalities to grasp after the
street car lines, but the time will event
uaily come. If the civil service were es-
tablished in the municipality it would be
good thing for the city to own it's street
railways rs well as the street lighting
and water works IL the city owned the
street railways without its employees be-
ing under civil service laws, politics
would cut too much OF figure to make
things any better than they are under
corporation twnership OF street railway
lines and franchises. favor a gradual
adoption Of the civil service.

represented by Col. Haskell.
Bristol Courier: All litigation over
the Bristol iron furnace has been closed
by agreement Such was the Inference
from the decree handed down in the case
OF Judge Cassell on Thursday.
Tho court appointed John II. Caldwell
receiver to have charge of the property
until finally disposed of on the first Hay
of December.
The Home Iron Company, which
bought the property at the former sale,
concluded an important deal Friday by
which it becomes virtual owner of the
furnace property. 1t bought all the
claims held by Col. John G. Haskell,
amounting to about.$17, 900.
The Home Iron Company now holds
considerably over $10O,COO of the claims,
which is ample guarantee that the prop
erty Will revert to said company at it's
second sale.
Col. Haskell was seen Friday and con-
firmed the story to the effect that he had
sold ali HIS interest in The furnace prop
erty. He will no longer have any con
