cENrRAL's RIGHT DEFINED.
Ordinance VIII he Submitted to
Joint Committee.

The joint committee of Council to draft
an ordinance embracing the rights under
the franchise it is proposed TO give the
Central Railroad on River street, met at
The city exchange yesterday afternoon
and conferred with Mr.. Davis Freeman,
acting city attorney as to the substance
of the ordinance.
All of ihe committee was not present,
but there were enough to act on the mat
ter. The points it is desired to include in
the ordinance were gone over with Mr.
FTeeman, who viii prepare il in time 10
be submitted to another meeting the COM
mittee viii hold to-day. If no further
changes are suggested, the ordinance will
become the report Of the committee and
VIII be submitted 20 the board al the next
regular meeting.
one of the main points urged against the
original resolution was that il was not
sufficiently specific. IL was claimed the
Central Railroad and the Plant System
were the only roads mentioned, whereas
the Georgia and Alabama and the Florida
Central and PeninSular, which il was in
tended 10 include, were not named. 1t is
now understood the proposed ordinance, in
accordance with the suggestion of the
Morning News, will make the intention of
NiS poaIu CiedLet. ne OTiBludl resolution
provided that cars should be transferred
to and from the Plant System junction
al the rate of 81 per car, but it will be so
changed as to include the Georgia and
Alabama and the Florida Central and Pc
ninsular, and any other road that may
hereafter come into the city. It Is also
understood the ordinance viii provide that
freight shipped from any point along Riv-
er street will be charged for at freight
rates.
There may be few minor changes, but
the ordinance in the main will amount TO
clearer statement of the resolution first
adopted. The committee will not include
a number Of other things which were sug-
gested

The Avondale tract, suitable for the en-
campment Of troops. has been rendered the
government. In addition the city has or
fered to furnish the troops that may be
camped there a free water supply
Gen. Schwan and the board on camp
sites. of which he is president. were ad-
vised of these concessions yesterday after
noon by the Mayor They will be en-
bodied in the report the board will at
once send ON to Washington.
Nothing was done by the board yester-
day IN the way of visiting camp sites. The

bers in getting up back work connected
with the duties for which they are at
present detailed, while the others spent
the day in rest. one or two of the mem
bers of the board went down the river
with the officers of the engineering board
that is to report on the harbor plans made
by Capt Carter.
The board left last night by the Cen
trail for Macon, where the work of look
ing for good camp sites will be continued.
Gen. Schwan and the other officers of
the board expressed themselves as having
been highly pleased with their trip to Sl-
vannah. The general said he had been
more than pleased; that he had enjoyed
his stay here immensely.

PAYING PAVING CLAIMS.
Executions Issued for Liberty Street
Accounts.

bASCutAOhs ASSueU IOE A1hDeEIy Street
Accounts.
City Treasurer Hardee has issued ex-
ecutions against the Liberty street prop
erty owners liable to the city for paving
claims. The executions have been turned
over to City Marshal Power, who is pre-
pairing to send out the required notices.
The marshal contemplates no trouble,
however, in collecting the claims, as some
of them have already been paid Among
these are Maj. D. C. Bacon of Atlanta,
who paid the city &,4OS.6O yesterday, the
total amount due from him. OF this
amount 3,2S961 was for the paving, while
81, SO is the accrued interest on account
of the turn the case took through the
courts. Another who settled was Miss M
r. Heinemann, who paid $3.50 80 on the
paving and $179n interest. There Is an
additional charge in each case for the exc
cution. .r
1t is estimated the total amount due on
these claims Is about $12,24O21, to which
is added something like 1000 interest.
There is no further effort to
make any contest of the claims,
which il is intended to settle. The
city is showing a leniency, however, and
has not pushed the collection of the
claims. Mr.. Power has no desire to pro-
coed on the executions. and will not do 60

HAS TAKEN NO ACTION.

Pnrk and Tree Commission Has Not
Considered Possible Legislation.
Although some of the Park and Tree
Commission is hoping that it will not be
disturbed by any legislative action dur
ing the coming session of the general as
sembly, the commission as body has
taken no action in regard to the repeating
or modifying of the law which called it
into existence
Capt. c. S. Ellis. one of the original
commissioners, will express no opinion
about the matter. There is unquestionably
a strong feeling among the general pubic
in favor of not interfering with this COM
mission in any way that might tend to in
jure its usefulness or bring it into parti-
san politics. 1t is one commission about
which fractional politics have not centered
at all up to this time.

TREES IN LAUREL GROVE.
Not Considered a Good Plan to Plant
Them in Lots.

The planting of trees in the lots in Lau-
rel Grove Cemetery is found to be objec
tionable in many ways, which has been
recently demonstrated. 1t is found the
trees take up a large portion of the lot
after getting to a medium growth, and
for that reason have proven a disadvant-
age in making interments.
The main objection to planting in the
lots, however, is that ohoPping the roots
weakens the tree, and make Il a prey 10
the first brisk wind that comes along. In
fall the trees are destructive to the sur
rounding tombs some of which are very
costly
1t occasionally becomes necessary to cut
down the trees on account of the danger
of their falling and damaging the monu-
ments. Chairman Daffin of the Park and
Tree Commission was asked to remove a
tree yesterday, and after an examination,
found it was weakened and apt to fan in
a direction where considerable damage
would he done. rs

BOARD GETS TO WORK.
Army Engineers Studying the Carter
Plans and Results Achieved.

Army Engineers studying the Carter
Plans and Results Achieved.
Majors E. B. Sears of Duluth, w. H.
Bixby of Cincinnati, and George Symons
of Cincinnati, registered at the De Soto
yesterday. They comprise the board of
United States Army engineers to examine
into Capt Carriers plans for the improve
ment of the Savannah river and harbor,
in the light of the results achieved from
the work already done, and to determine
whether operations shall be continued
along the lines laid down by Capt. Carter
or his plans shall be modified or altered
TO produce better results than they may
seem to promise.
The morning was largely spent in going
over the charts. etc, in Capt. Glettes
office, and ascertaining, in a general way
what has been done, what remains to be
done, and what the present condition of
the river and harbor is.
In the afternoon Capt Gillette took
them down the river as far as Tybee on
the government launch. Gen. Schwan's
party accompanied them. The trip was
thoroughly enjoyable socially. land all the
visitors got a fair idea of the main water
approach to Savannah.
To-day the board of engineers will make
a more careful and exhaustive survey of
the river. in addition to compiling infor-
nation from the Office records. 1t is prob
able that they will remain here until next
week.
While no one can tell what the results
will be mas much as their visit here grew
out of Capt. Gillette's official reports to
the war department, it is quite probable
that there will be some revision of the
plans for Improvement of the river and
harbor before there is any further large
expenditure Of money. None of the engi-
neers, It is understood, has ever been here
before. They express themselves as high
ly pleased with Savannah.

If an action is brought against them there

During the course of the hearing at
Springfield on Wednesday, as stated in the
Morning News of yesterday, the board
of school commissioners sent a negro wo-
man to Jail because she did not give evil
dence in satisfactory manner. This act
was at the request of D. G. Clark, Esq,
who Is prosecuting Mr. Reiser.
The woman, Nazarene Goldwire, was
probably the principal witness against Mr.
Reiser on the charge of immortality The

No Improvement Reported in the
Condition of Mr.. w. w. Chisholm.
1t was reported last night that the con-
dition of Mr.. w. W. Chisholm was some
what worse and that fears were entertain
ed as to his recovery. There were many
callers at his residence at Gordon and
Abercorn streets yesterday, seeking infor-
nation as to his condition.
Mr. Chisholm's long connection with bus
mess interests here has given him an ex-
tensive acquaintanceship. He also has
many friends or acquaintance in various
counties in this section of the state. who
will regret TO hear of his serious Illness.

Duffy street Church WearSing of
the Unsettled State of Haupt Case.
The books, papers. etc, of the building
fund of the Duffy Street Baptist Church
have not yet been turned over to the
church committee. The church attorney
had about decided to take legal steps yes
terday to secure them, but, by request,
postponed action in the matter, with the
hope that resort to the courts would prove
unnecessary.
There are indications that the church is
wearying of the conditions that exist, and
may soon decide to wash its hands of the
entire business and allow the law to take
its course.
The grand jury of the Superior Court
meets on Oct "a, it is stated, and if the
case is not adjusted amicably soon there
will be an end to the arbitration proceed
inSs.
1t was expected that the church would
be favored with some new proposition yes
terday but none came.

The Growth of socialism.

It is argued by deep thinkers that the
growth Of socialism is due to the large
standing armies of the world, In which
men are often made to enlist against their
will, and thus become disconnected with
existing conditions. The growth of a
stronger race of people Is due TO the large
sale Of Hostetter's stomach Bitters. which
is the best medicine for costiveness, dys-
pepsia, fever, ague and all nervous trou-
bles. Try one bottle.-ad.

NIGHT SIGNS on STREET. CARS.
A Convenience the Public would Ap-
nTecinte.

- Noh IuUllc " Quiz AD-
preciate.
The Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle Of
Hope Railway may put illuminated signs
on cars to designate the localities to which
they run This would be an improvement
the public would appreciate, as patrons
have no way of getting this information
at night unless the car is boarded near an
electric light.
Supt. Benagh favors the Illuminated
signs because of the advantage to passen-
gers in getting the right car. In most
cities where there are metropolitan car
systems, this method has been successfully
adopted. The signs not only serve to
beautify the cars and give the desired
service at night, but they serve the same
purpose in the day. Being in a consplcu-
Gus place on the roofs of cars, the signs
are always seen and there is no excuse
for mistakes. The cars are already equip
ped with signs, but they are attached to
the platforms, and cannot always be seen
at night
This matter will probably be discussed
at the next meeting OF directors as will
also the question of a central station
which has been previously mentioned.
Supt. Benagh has drawn plans showing
the proposed locality of the station, and
a small stretch of additional track 1t will
require to carry out the plan. The only
effort at present seems to be to get the
plan fairly before the directors. If they
think the system could be operated more
advantageously by running the cars
through a central station, so that passen-
gers could get aboard at any point, pro
coed to the station and make the trans
fer there In place of on street corners, as
a present. the details will then be shown
more explicitly.
