The Skinner people had loudly proclaimed
that they had the convention by a safe
majority some of them claiming 1t by
two-thirds.
The fight was over the proposition to
offer to cooperate with the Democrats.
Senator Butler favored this and Congress-
man Skinner opposed it. Each had able
lieutenants, but by bold and fearless ag-
gressiye and smart generalship Senator
Butler took the convention, completely
routing the opposition and passed his reso-
luton by vote of 653 to 2S5.
At o'clock this morning he made in the
convention perhaps the strongest and
most effective speech that he has ever
made. 1t won the convention, demoraliz-
ed the opposition, and after that Mr. But
Ter had it all his way, Mr.. Skinner finally
moving to make the vote on the Butler
resolution unanimous.

Tyson Telephone Co.'s Petition Re-
ferred to Street Committee.
1t is calculated that by June 1 Savannah
win be- in communication with Macon by
long distance telephone. The d. A Tyson
Telephone Company has completed its
lines to within twenty miles of the city,
and is now knocking at the doors for al,
entrance,
There may be some hindrance, however,
as q communication submitted to Council
last night, asking permission to erect
poles on streets to be designated by the
city, was not greeted with enthusiasm.
Alderman Guckenheimer moved to refer
the matter to the committee of the whole,
but Alderman Owens thought 1t should so
to the street and lane committee, where it
would likely receive more attention. After
some discussion, Alderman Guckenhelmer
raised the question as TO the desirability
of erecting more poles in the city. lie
thought The petition should go to the COM
mittee of the whole, that IL might first
he determined whether the aldermen favor
putting up any more poles. 1t could then
be referred to the street and lane COM
mittee 10 designate on what streets the
poles should be erected, IL at all. The mat
ter was referred, however, to the street
AMI lane committee.
The new line will have its central office
at ST. Julian and Drayton streets. where
it is desired to run poles from a point in
the southwestern part of the city. From
Macon to Savannah the line is about It's
miles, coming by way of Dublin, Swains>
boro Statesboro and other intermediate
points. 1t branches out from Swainboro
to Mount Vernon and other points near
the Georgia and Alabama Railroad.

BIDS TO FINISH SEWERS.

mfttee to Advertise.

Bids for the completion of the sewerage
system will be advertised for ten days by

which details Of the work VIII be fur
niShed by the committee to those desir-
ing them. The idea of letting the con-
promptly in the fall.
The matter came up in Council last night
when Alderman Owens, chairman of the
drainage committee, asked for instruct
ions as to whether he should advertise for
bids. He stated he had already written
the next highest bidders when the con-
tract was last awarded, but had only
heard from one of them
1t was the opinion of city Attorney Ad-
ans that new bids would have to be called
for, according to a rule of Council, pro-
viding that where.a contract is let by the
city, bids shall be advertised for six days.
The matter was being freely discussed
by the aldermen, when Alderman Guck.
enheimer moved to go into committee of
the whole, insisting the contract was not
matter to be discussed in open meeting.
Aldermen Well and Owens insisted il
was not a matter coming under either OF
the heads required to be discussed in eau
Gus ana council need not therefore 90
INTO committee. The only question before
the board, they insisted, was whether the
drainage committee should advertise for
BIDS. 1t was the opinion of Alderman
Wen that ample time should be allowed
and that the notice inserted in the same
papers as before.
Alderman Guckenheimer again Insisted
that Council should go into caucus. A
vote was taken and Alderman Quicken
heimer Duncan, Owens Reid, voted ave.
ana Alderman Smith. Well and Krous-
kon voted no. The board went into eau
Gus for half an hour and returned with
the resolution that bids be advertised for

ATTLEBoRo's DISASTROUS FIRE.

Towns Entire Industrial Wealth
Swept AwRy-Loss over "a Million.
Attleboro, Mass, May 1S-The eatastro-
phe that had been feared for years because
of the crowded situation of the jewelry
factories of Attleboro, representing practi-
cally the towns entire industrial wealth, at
last came to a decided reality early this
morning
The fine three and four-story jewelry
factories on either side of Mill street
caught fire at 1890 o'clock, and In an in
conceivably short time were burned to the
ground with their entire contents of deli
cate machinery, tools, and finished and
unfinished Jewelry Very little of a prop
erty worth over a million of dollars was
saved.
Three thousand skilled workmen are
thrown out of employment with little hope
of soon obtaining means of livelihood for
themselves and families.
Four large factories, Eeveral smaller
ones, a dozen or fifteen dwelling houses
four or five barns, marble works, carpen-
ter shops and several other buildings were
destroyed
The majority of the jewelry shops In the
section destroyed were in charge of a
Waterman, who also has the care of the
fires In the boiler rooms.
The watchman was startled by an explo-
sion at 1920 o'clock, and on investigating,
saw the whole north of the Bates and Ba-
con watch case building q. mass of fire.
In half an hour four big jewelry shops
Were totally destroyed, and the flames had
spread to nearly a score of buildings.
At 230 O'clock the fire was under con-
troll but it had then destroyed almost
everything within an area of four acres.
At that time the loss was estimated ut

such violations as cycle scorching,
trampling on the grass and resisting Off
GERS will be sat down upon vigorously by
Mayor Meldrlm as long as he presides in
the Police Court. Several cases of this
KIND in the court yesterday brought some
pretty pointed expressions from the May
or, and those which related to resisting
officers were generally approved by the
police, who have such disadvantages to
contend with.
Eliza Collier, colored, was up for disor-
Derby conduct and resisting an officer. Her
Doisterousness resulted in a fine Of IS or
ten days In prison. Along came Sallie Per-
lpte, colored, also wanted for disorderly
conduct and resisting the office. The cir
cumstances were somewhat aggravating.
ana In view of the Mayors strong deter
mination TO stamp his disapproval on such
conduct, he sent her to jail thirty days
with no alternative. The third offender
was George Jackson, coiored, charged with
the same offense, except he seems to have
interfered with without resisting the off,
Ger. The punishment meted out to him
was fine of IS or ten days.
AS for scorching, the Mayor will have
little difficulty In stopping it since the ad-
vent of the bicycle squad. Formerly Of
tenders of this class could outrun the po-
lice, who wore heavy uniforms and could
not move as sprightly as a scared scoreh-
er. There is some little confusion as to
what really constitutes the offense.
Recorder Hartridge always held that
when rider was bumped his back UP and
his arms stretched as though about to
leap, he was then either scorching or get
ting ready to scorch. The authorities have
been successful In enforcing the ordinance
requiring wheelmen to ride to the right,
and it Is probable they will soon awaken
everybody to the dangers of scorching, es-
pecially ON the more frequented streets.
