Guarding Her Nerves..

A little east end maiden of sum-
mers. whose clever sayings are the de-
light of her friends. recently dined with
an aunt At the beginning of the repast
she gravely said to her relative:
III take just one cup of tea, Aunt
Liza | have to be so careful about my
nerves If don't take care, I'll have
nerves like cat. ("
She got her tea, and it is scarcely
necessary to add that when she had fin
ished it she forgot all about her poor
nerves and clamored for more. -Cleve-

EXPECTS TO BRING -FOUR HUNDRED
Mr.. Nesbitt and His Home Seekers
Excursion Here in April.

Mr.. w. II. Nesbitt, the promoter of ex-
cursions of homeseekers from the North
to the South, and his secretary, Mr.. God
frey, leave this morning for their head
quarters at Dayton o. They have been
In the city for several days, stopping at
the De Soto, and have put in some effec-
tual work an the way of gathering adver-
Using matter that will serve to attract
homeseekers to Savannah
Mr.. Nesbitt was here some~three or four
weeks ago, having been invited by some
OF the prominent land owners of Chatham
county to come over from Fitzgerald, to
which place he had just conducted a very
successful excursion, for the purpose of
seeing what could be done about a sim
liar one for Savannah. The gentlemen
We're impressed with what Mr.. Nesbitt
mad TO say about the people whom he pro-
poses to bring down on the excursion, and
a contract was made by which he is to
nave his party here the early part of April.
1t is expected that there Will be some
800 or 400 from Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and
kentucky in order to invest in Savannah
and Chatham county real estate. Mr..
Nesbltt says those whom he will bring
down are men of means and of a class
that will make some of the best citizens
place can have. There are many peo-
pie, he says, who are anxious to get away
from the North to try their fortune in the
South. His work is among these people,
and he has been very successful for six
years in locating parties He has already
received the assurance of many of their
intention to make the trip.
Mr.. Nesbitt and Mr. Godfrey are get
ting up souvenir of the city in the way
of handsomely illustrated little volume
with interesting reading matter. They
have been all over the city taking such
views for insertion in the souvenir as
struck them. The gentlemen do not now
expect to be here again until the excur-
sion arrives, which will be personally con-
Quoted by them. Mr.. Nesbitt's auctioneer
will also be with the party He will dis
pose of the lands to the homeseekers.

SEWER NOW ON LIBERTY STREET.
1t VIII BE Pushed Rapidly West and
south.

The Randolph street sewer has turned
the corner of Randolph street and is now
moving westward on Liberty street. The
engineers required the contractors to turn
the corner Of Randolph street with curve
of a radius of SO degrees.
The sewer is being run down the grass
plat on the northern side Of Liberty street.
Thisa saves cutting up asphalt except at
street intersections. On Randolph street
the sewer was So inches in diameter. On
Liberty street 1t will be 33 inches, and on
East Broad, 30 inches. 1t will run south at
the latter diameter for a distance of 5000
feet at the end of which distance the
sewer will be continued with "a inch terra
Gotta pipe.
Pipe laying on the western side of the city
has been delayed by the lack of a suf-
icient supply of inverts There is plenty of
straight pipe, but not enough of the other
varieties large supply of the kind needed
is expected this week.
The deal by which the outlet for the
eastern sewer is to run through the
Rourke property and empty at the Screw
ems ferry dock at the foot of Reynolds
street, is of interest to others besides Mr..
Rourke and the ferry people, 1t is not
only the right of way for the sewer, but
the right of way for River street across
the Rourke property which Is obtained
by the city. River street is already part
ly opened through the Rourke property,
and this extension, running diagonally
across the Rourke property to Bay street,
gives right of way entirely through this
property, something which the city au-
thorities have been endeaYoring to secure
for some time 1t is only necessary for
the city TO secure the right OF way through
the lower rice mill property in order to
open the street to the Central Railroad
nnlr
of the rice mill property.
1t is said that deal is on foot by which
this will be accomplished shortly. In ex-
change for the right of way mentioned
through the Rourke property, Mr. Rourke
gets Reynolds street from
Bay street, where it intersects his prop
erty, to the river including the ferry
dock. The dock will then become private
property, and it is this to which the Union
Road Company, operating the Screven' 8
ferry, object Their petition for an in
junction will come up for hearing before
Judge Falligant tomorrow.

savannah's Cotton Receipts VIII
Soon Beat the Record of oO-91.
The million bale mark in cotton receipts
at this port was passed yesterday. The
railroads reported $3.50 bales
as the days receipts, which added to
those previously reported made the total
1,OO025 bales since Sept /, 1897.
The amount was posted at the Cotton
Exchange and there was feeling of gen.
eral satisfaction among the operators in
the cotton market. There was no demon
stration over the occasion as il had been
confidently expected all through the sea-
son that the receipts would be over a mil
lion bales. 1t was hardly expected how
ever, that the million mark would be
reached so early in the season.
1t requires less than 10000 bales more
to make the receipts more than those
of the entire season of 1S90-91. At the rate
cotton is coming in just now 1t will not
take long to reach that amount
Then it is likely that the cotton men
will celebrate the occasion and begin to
look forward to even higher achievements
in the vast movement of cotton to Sa-
vannah.

After having managed the police de-

your honorable body to reconsider the APP

fore council at any time for the purpose
of explaining any items asked for in the
budget, and requests that your honorable
body will give this petition due and prompt
consideration. We would like to have a re-
ply before the end of this month";
In the itemized statement accompanying
the petition, the commission presents fig
ures showing that there has been a reduc-
ton in almost every department and that
too, the commission state, in the face of
an increase in the way of demands. While
salaries have been increased from $69, S74. "a
to $73, 700, yet this is due to an ~incTease
In the number of patrolmen, which was
at the request of Alderman Krouskoff.
These men are mounted and the additional
horses necessarily increased the amount
for the stables. 1t has always been the
policy of the department to give the best
care of the stock and deduct from other
sources rather than stint them In fact,
the sum total required to run the affairs
last year was $79,OOO.S7, and the amount
asked this year was $S1 ,S25. In making up
the budget, however, Council cut the fig
ure to $4,000. AT the time it was thought
wholly inadequate, but the commission de-
termined to try experiment. They found
there was no chance to get along without
a sweeping cut in salaries or reduction of
the force.
OF the, two alternatives, in case the
finance committee Of Council decides ad-
versly to the department, it is understood
the cut in salaries is considered prefer
able. Chief MeDermott insists that he
cannot properly patrol the city with less
number of men than he now has at his
disposal. He win, therefore, be apt to
favor a cut rather than curtailment of
the force.
Alderman Guckenheimer was seen in
connection with the matter and was ask
ed what action the finance committee
would likely take. He would not express
himself one way or the other on account

FIGURING UP THE LOSSES,
Insurance Adjusters Going Over the
Recent Fires.

A small army of insurance adjusters mas
swept down upon Savannah on account of
the recent fire losses. Among those here
are Charles e. Dox of the Norwich Union,
John G. Whitner of the Palatine and Sun
Mutual w. e. Chaplin of the Fire Associ-
alton of Philadelphia, j. Monroe Ogden of
the Northern of London, r. A. Hancock
of the London and Lancashire, Thomas
Egleston of the Hartford, w. l.. Reynolds

of the Home Insurance Company of New

London and Globe, and Hamilton Yaneey
of the Commercial Union. Mr.. Yancey is
of Rome, Ga. but all the others hail from
Atlanta
The adjusters arc discussing the situa-
ton with the local agents, and will begin
adjusting losses in a day or two This is
the largest insurance loss they have had
to handle in Savannah in some time.
The adjusters, as rule, have not a
high opinion of the Savannah fire depart
ment. 1t is not likely, however, that tney
win file any protests against the fire chief
with Council, the litigation between the
city and the Fire Commission, beginning
with communication from three of the
adjusters, being now before the Supreme
Court awaiting a decision.

HIS ARM AMPUTATED.

Mr.. Princes Injuries.
The left arm of NIr Edmond L. Prince,
who is confined in the Savannah Hospital
from the effects of injuries sustained in
being run over at the Waters road cross
ing by a Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle
of Hope trolley car, was amputated yes-
terday. Mr.. Prince is reported doing well
and his friends entertain hopes of his re-
covery.
Motorman d. V. Whitaker and Conduc-
tor |. II. Lanier were before the Recor-
der in Police Court charged with running
over Mr.. Prince. The street car COM
pany had Mr.. David Barrow on hand as
counsel and Mr.. w. B. Stubs appeared
to prosecute the case. There were sew
eral witnesses who swore the car ran
rapidly and at a reckless speed across the
road and could not have been stopped
even If those in charge had seen the oh
struction earlier.
At the same time there were others who
TESTIFIED that the car was going at a mod
crate rate of speed, and, as this testimony
predominated, the Recorder released the
men, giving them the benefit Of a doubt
The evidence differed and whether or rot
the gong was really sounded, could scarce
~ be told from the statements before the
Recorder.
The street car company Is aware. how
ever, that there is considerable travel
along the road, and fully realizes the dan
ger to the public in dashing cars over II at
a reckless rate. 1t is moi improbable that
cars will stop altogether hereafter. and
