THREE DAMAGE SUITS FILED.
Two plaintiffs Say They Are Perma-
nerftIy Injured and Want $4,000.


Through his attorneys, Hayward & Hey
ward, Algernon Hampton filed suit in the
City Court yesterday against the City
and Suburban Railway for $1,000 damages.
Hampton alleges that while riding toward
his home out the West Broad street line
on Jan. 81, he made testing remark to
a friend of his named Cox, whereupon the
conductor, Mccall, caught hold of him VIC
lently and showed him from the car while
il was running at a high rate of speed.
He saws he was badly bruised, his lower
iaw-bone badly sprained, and that he mas

news hrought suit in the City Court for
s5o0 damages against the City and Subur-
han Railway Company. He says he got
on a car on Dec. 20, 1897, and was on MS
Wav to work. He asked for transfer
at Barnard and Liberty streets, but was
told to get on the other car. Inc con-
dncfor on the other car, he states asked
him for his fare, and when he refused
r. having paid on the other car he
states he was elected from the car, being
Subjected thereby to great modification.
He saws also he was late at his work, on
which account he was discharged from
nosition that was paying him $l5O day.
For these reasons he holds that ne is en-
titled to damages.
A third damage suit filed in the City
Court by the same attorneys was that OF
Cato Simmons against the Savannah

sonal injuries. He was employed III the

NEED FOR PLUMBING INSPECTOR.
DIR. LeHardy Says the Place Ought to
BE Filled at Once.

Health officer LeHardy says that the
board Of plumbing examiners will meet at
an early day and select a plumbing in
spector for the city as provided in the ord
nance creating the board.
Every day brings evidences to the health
officers Office of the necessity of having
such an official who can protect the city's
interests in the extensive work now being
done. There have been several
complaints recently which were
of an imperative nature, An
inspector is Indispensable, DR.. LeHardy
says and as the ordinance providing for
his election has now been carried out in
every way, he can see no reason for delay.
The new board will meet at an early day
for this purpose. The board is compos-
ed of the health officer, city engineer,
chairman committee on public health, Mr..
L. A. Mccarthy, master plumber, and Mr..
L. l.. Burpee, journeyman plumber. No
one has yet been mentioned for the place,
but it Is not likely the inspectorship will
go without applicants.

JUSTICES PREMATURELY JUBILANT
Thought They Were Going to Get
Fee Office Rent

Free ofttce Rent.
Until several heads got together among
the justices yesterday many of them were
Jubilant over the fancied prospect Of free
office rent. Such a thing was thought
possible by a recent act of the Georgia
Legislature, but it is found to relate only
to Atlanta.
The act provides that from and after its
passage boards of County Commissioners
are authorized, in their discretion, under
such rules and regulations, not inconsist-
ent with law, as may be prescribed by
them, to provide court rooms at the ex-
pense of the county for those Justices of
the peace and notaries public and ex-offico
justices of the peace who hold their courts
within the corporate limits of cities con-
tanning, by the last preceding United States
census, population Of not less than G0,OC0
Section II of the act provides that sad
boards, under similar rules and regulations
are hereby authorized, in their discretion
10 provide, at the expense of the county,
for the justices and notaries public and ex-
officio justices aforesaid, good and su1fi-
cient dockets and good and sufficient in
dexes to such dockets. at the actual cost
of the same. The act was approved and
became law Dec. q, 1897.
To think that such an important item
of expense to a justice was to be borne
by the county was quite exhilarating to
Justice Isaac Nathans, who had just re-
ceived a copy OF the last legislative acts
and spotted the provision which saddled
Office rent on the county
Justice Nathans has little trouble inter
preting law, but he admitted that the act
in question was not altogether lucid TO
him. 1t was his opinion the whole matter
rested on Savannahs population, which
guaranteed the benefit of the act if 1t
reached $1,000 according to the last census.
But the last census only showed a popu-
lation of less than 10000. Then, too, The
allowance of free office rent is to be in
''the discretion of the County Commits
sioners."
An things considered, Justice Matthias
came to the conclusion that the justices
will have to bear the burdens of office rent
excepting those of Atlanta, where the act
it is said, will go into effect.

WON WITH A RUN TO SPARE.
CATHOLIC LIBRARY BOYS DEFEAT
ED THE Y. NJ. II. AS.

Three Runs in the Eighth Inning
Did the WinninE-The Score 4 TO 3.
Excellent Playing on Both sides
and the Spectators Enjoyed IL.
After losing three consecutive games. the
G. L. A. indoor ball team pulled itself to-
gether last night and won from the Y. NJ.
Ii. A. team In a beautifully played game
by score of to 8.
The closeness of the score all during the
game, the almost errorless fielding of both
teams, the excellent pitching of Horrigan
and Smith and the snappy.playing of both
sides made the game highly exciting and
interesting to the 400 or 500 spectators who
saw it,
HorrIgan was in his old-time form and
pitched an excellent game for the Library
boys. He was only hit safe four times.
and he did not give base on balls. Sui
ivan's catching was also good and he
made several pretty catches of foul tips
hot from the bat. Dan O'Connor made a
pretty stop of a wide hit in the fourth in
ming and succeeded i'll reaching first be-
fore the runner. Winters played lively
game all around.
Smith pitched a steady game for his
team and was given good support. In fact,
the fielding of both teams was finer than
il has been in any game this season. Only
one error is charged up against each team
and neither of these were fragrant. Mein-
hard reached up and pulled down a high
liner from Winters bat in the first inning
that looked like it was a clean hit.
The Y. M. H. A. were the first to score.
In the third inning Stern struck out and
Lovenstein followed suit, but Sullivan
muffed the ball and Lovenstein reached
first. He got to second and scored on
Kayton's gallery hit. Kayton was left
on third base, the following two men being
retired.
In the fourth inning Winters got in a
run for the Library team He hit safe
and got as far as third, where he staid
until two men were out. Horrigan hit
safe and Winters scored, but Horrigan was
put out trying to steal second.
The score remained tied until the sixth
inning when the Hebrew boys tailed two
runs and got in the lead. Kayton started
off with gallery hit and stole third.
Smith got his base on a fielder's choice,
Kayton scoring on the hit. Smith stole
home.
This made the Y. NJ. H. A. players and
their followers in the gallery naturally
jolly, but it only nerved the Library boys
to greater work In the eighth inning they
scored three runs, which put them che
run ahead of the Hebrew team. Hogan
was first up and he struck out. Downey
got his base on balls, stole second and
scored on Bells hit. Sullivan went out on
a fly to right field and O'Connor hit safe,
scoring Bell. Winters followed with hit,
scoring O'Counor. Winters was put out
trying to steal second.
The Y. M. II. A. team got a man on base
in the ninth inning, with only one man out,
and there was every indication that the
score would be tied, but the Library boys
played close up aud prevented the runner
from scoring.
Harkey Germany and John Elton UNI
pired. to the entire satisfaction of both
teams. There was not a kick of any
amount during the game.

big pile Of human bones was unearthed
a day or two ago by the hands at work
ON the sewer that has been run through
Floyd street. The bones were found near
the Cathedral school. From their charac-
ter it might be inferred that the thigh
bones Of the human skeleton last longer
in the ground than any others. Nearly
all of those unearthed were thigh bones.
After the workmen had gone on with the
sewer their find was again buried.
gentleman familiar with the early his
tory of Savannah says the bones discov-
cred are more likely those of British SOL
diers than of any other persons. He saws
the dead of the British during their occu-
pancy of the city in the war of the Revo-
luton were probably buried at just about
the distance from the then central part
of the place as the point at which they
were unearthed The soldiers might
have been buried in a trench after
an attack, the crowded position in which
the bones wege found lending color to the
supposition.

Desire to- Bring Military Teams
From All Georgia Companies.
Though he has been acting In his official
capacity for some months. Col George t.
Cam, inspector general of rife practice
of the state, did not, until yesterday, re-
ceve the records of that office. They
were sent him from the Office of the adju-
tant general, and will be kept here.
Col. Cam is trying Co arrange to have q
meet on the Avondale rife range OF teams
from all the companies In the state, early
in May at which time the rifle team from
the Twenty third Regiment of Brooklyn.
N. T., is expected here 20 enter a contest
with the Savannah men. The idea is TO
get the state 10 pay the transportation Of
the teams, and a per diem, each company
in the state sending a team for two or
three days. The men could be duartered
in the armories. This plan is yet In an
indeterminate state, but efforts will be
made to carry it through.
New rife ranges are now being con-
structed at Macon, Columbus and Way-
cross and the range at Augusta is being
repaired This work is being done purely
by aid from the local county chaln-ganas.
with some little aid also from the state.
which will also contribute the target ma :
terial. Much interest is being manifested
in the range work, and IL Is growing rap
idly among miltiamen In other sections
besides this part of the state, where 1t has
always been fostered and encouraged.

The disarranged condition of Broughton,

ders it almost impossible for the fire de-
partment to get to the business section of
the city. In case of fire on Broughton
street, between Drayton and Barnard. the
chances to do effective work are greatly
impaired.
The circuitous route by which the de-
partment would have 10 reach the bust
ness center is either by Abercorn or Bar
nard streets, from which the hose would
have to be taken by hand were a fire TO
break out between them. These streets

quite possible difficulty would be met pull
