NOT BEFORE MARCH.


1t is as yet a matter of doubt when the
United States Court will hold session
here. The delay is, of course, due to the
use of the court room by the Carter court
martial
The court for the Southern district will
meet in Augusta Thursday Of this week,
and may open there for some days. The
next session after that will no doubt he
held in Savannah, but whether 1t will be
during this month or in March Is as yet
unknown.
one or two of the attorneys who have
cases on the United States Court docket
mere nave written to Macon TO find out
when Judge Speer is coming down, but
they have not been able as yet to learn
anything definite. A letter received from
Judge Speer yesterday stated he would be
IN Augusta on Thursday and would re-
main there only a few days but nothing
vas said about coming to Savannah. 1t
IS understood, however, that Judge Speer
viii be in Savannah on Tuesday to attend
the annual dinner of the Georgia Society
OF the sons of the Revolution, on which
occasion he will probably deliver an adj
dress.
Judge Speer has given up the use of his
court room to the court-martal, otherwise
court would probably have been held here
in January The eourt-martial viii be in
session, no doubt, much longer than was
expected, and will probably retain the use
of the court room until its work has been
concluded.
II the court martiaFs session should ex-
tend into March, and ii should be found
necessary to hold a session of the United
States Court before its work has been con-
Guided, the officers might secure some
other quarters temporarily, and resume
In the court room as soon as the court
session should be concluded. This OF
course, is predicted upon the supposition
that the court martial will be in session
for a month or more
There are several important civil cases
on the United States docket, and the
criminal docket has a number of cases
undisposed of. Among the cases to be
heard are several libel suits, the most i'm
portant of which is the cases of Jacob
toIey and II. F. Willink against the Ger
man bark Jacobina, for repairs, supplies
and salvage, involving claims of several
thousand dollars. There are several other
Aoel suits of less Importance. The crimi-
nal cases are mostly from the southern
ana southwestern parts of the state, with
the exception of some old cases. which
have gone over for several terms The
docket is not an extraordinary large one.
but there is business enough to keep the
court going for several days. The chances
are, however, that il will not meet until
some time in March.

NEED ron A FIRE INSPECTOR.
Chief Mcguire Points to Friday
Nights Fires.

NhAcA MaB uiES AOAhLs 10 ErlUay
Nights Fires.
Chief Mcguire thinks the need of a fire
inspector, which he recommended in hig
recent report to the Fire Commissioners,
has been thoroughly demonstrated during
the last week in the number of fires that
have originated from lack of such precau-
ton.
An inspectors business would be to see
to it that there was no combustible mate
rails carelessly left around buildings.
Loose paper piled up in corners and other
materials left abount in such manner as
to admit of easy incendiary work, where
it is intended, would come within the
province of an inspectors notice.
The chief thinks 1t culpab bly, careless for
property owners TO leave combustibles in
such places as to allow small boys to
readily fire buildings from the street This
has been done many times In the last two
weeks and has doubtless caused the loss
of several thousand dollars worth OF
property.
There have been cases where the insur.
ance on property has been raised on ac-
count of the great danger of fire from
careless storing of trash and combusti-
bles Fires are often started inadvert,
emily, Chief Mcguire thinks, by persons
throwing away cigars which fall through
iron gratings in Store fronts and often de-
velop into uncomfortable fires before dis
covered.

wANAMAKER AT Kilkenny.
The PhiIadeIphian's Deer Hunt and
Sunday School visit I'm Brvou.

Sunday School visit in Bryan.
Hon John Wanamaker has returned to
Philadelphia from Kilkenny, Bryan coun-
~, where he had been on a fishing
and hunting expedition a few days. He
was accompanied by Mrs. Wanamaker and
Mr.. Thomas Wanamaker and Mr.. Tom
Dixon.
While at Kilkenny, Mr.. Wanamaker
was seen by many of the country folk.
At the Episcopal Church it was announced
that he would talk to the children last
Sunday and an invitation was extended for
all to attend. The announcement had the
effect of bringing out a large gathering
from the surrounding country, all anx-
iOus to hear Mr.. Wanamaker. The church,
il is said, would not have been more crowd
ed had Sam Jones bobbed up in that neigh
borhood with an announcement TO talk on
the tortures of the damned.
Mr.. Wanamaker is prominently mention
ed as a possibility for the goveTnorship Of
Pennsylvania and his visit in Bryan coun-
ty had the effect of drawing like a
porous plaster All wanted to see the big
merchant This was his first visit to Kill
kennys hunting grounds and he doubtless
wanted to get acquainted with the neigh
bors. Mr. Wanamaker is reported to have
made a string talk, which enthused those
who heard him. He also made a generous
contribution and left he people in the best
spirits and with his best wishes.
EX-President Harrison was to have ac-
companied Mr.. Manamaker and party TO
Kilkenny, but had to foTego his trip on
account of pressing business in connection
with the winding up of an estate in Wash
ington.
Kilkenny is about twenty-seven miles
from Savannah. The farm on which the
club house is located belongs to Mr.. j.
II. Furber, and is becoming noted for its
hunting and fishing advantages. For sew
eral years it has been leased by the Kill
kenny Club comprised of prominent men
of the North, among whom are Mr.. Wan
amaker, EX-President Harrison and the
higher officials of Northern railroads.

SEWER CONTRACTORS $3.50 BILL.
Capt. Johnston Charges They De.

Iayed Travel.
Capt. J. II. Johnston, president ana gen.
eral manager of the City and
Suburban railway, has present
ed bill for $3.50 to the house drainage con
tractors for interruption of traffic on the
line OF the road on Randolph street. This
is the portion of the Liberty street Hne
which reaches the Tybee depot.
The traffic of the Savannah. THIN
derbolt and Isle of Hope Rail-
way. on its loop around by the
Tybee depot, was also interrupt ed. but as
the direct connection by East Broad street
was used instead the Interference was not
so great.
The house drainage contractors have
done nothing about the matter as vet.
One of the contractors said yesterday that
they were surprised at the presentation of
the bill as no objeci ion was made by the
railway company when work was begun
on Randolph street, and besides the travel

railways during the next few months as
the plans contemplate large excavations
on several of the principal streets used by
the street railways.
The excavations for the big sewer on
Randolph street reached TO and slightly
intrenched upon the asphalt on Liberty
street yesterday afternoon. The drainage
committee Of Council has refused the pc
ution Of the contractors to be allowed ia
run the sewer down the green on Liberty
street from Randolph TO East Broad. This
would have been a considerable saving 10
the contractors on account of the cost OF
tearing UP and replacing the asphalt pave.
ment on Liberty street. To make the ex-
cavation elong the green, however, II
would be necessary to obstruct the track
of the City and Suburban Railway 10 East
Broad street, to say nothing of greatly
marring the appearance OF the green for
that distance. Another effort will be made
by the contractors, however, to get the
committee to alter its decision. The CON
tract provides that all pavement removed
la the progress of the work shall be re-
placed in good condition at the expense OF
the contractor.
Rapid progress has been made during the
last few days in laying pipe in Yamacra W.
Mr.. VIII Mitchell has had three gangs
