meeting since last spring tonight. aft

the summer months The special commit
tee on house drainage Will make its re
port upon the proposed changes in the
house drainage system. These changes
have already been outlined in the Morn

be of interest as showing how far the
committee thinks Council should go in
making these changes and the estimate
of the probable additional cost of making
them.
A matter of considerable interest TO
come before the meeting is the selection
Of a contractor for the o. E. VI. Depart
ment for one year. There are several bid
ders for the contract, and the competl-
ton is quite lively. With the exception
of these two matters, there is little of
interest to come before the meeting.
The Skidaway Shell Road Company has
put in a bill against the war department
for tolls claimed TO be due the company
for the use of its road by wagons In the
employ of the water department last fall
and winter. The amount of the bill is
$3.50. The wagons against which the tolls
were charged We're engaged in hauling
the pipe which the water department was
laying for the Seventh Army Corps and
other troops encamped at savannah As
the work was done by the city free of
charge in order to obtain the encampment
of the troops, which was for the benefit
of the citizens generally, there is a feel
ing among the aldermen that the city
should not be called upon TO pay toll upon
the wagons engaged in the work.

fitting arrangements are being made for
their reception accommodation and en-
tertainment.
The association elected one new member,
Mr.. George p. Walker. After the con-
clusion of the business meeting there was
a discussion of the dainty refreshments

their evening together. When they meet

tempting to Cock His Revolver.
Policeman J. A. Connally, of the Cen
troll Railway force. suffered painful &C
cident last night, in the vicinity of the
passenger shed. In the effort to cock a
revolver he had drawn upon fleeing ne
gro, the weapon was discharged, the ball
passing through the fieshy part of one
finger and breaking the bone of another.
The negro had a pair of fine shoes that
he had been trying to dispose of for some
time. Finally, one of those 10 whom ne
attempted to sell the shoes notified Con-
nally of the negros actions, and said he
thought the shoes had been stolen. The
policeman started after the suspected
thief
AS he did so the negro broke and ran,
with the policeman in close pursuit. After
calling to him several times to halt, Con
nally drew his pistol and attempted TO
cock 1t. 1t is single action weapon and
he placed the barrel in his left hand for
the purpose of better contr5lling the spring.
In drawing back the hammer it slipped
and the weapon was discharged, the bail
breaking the bone of one finger of the left
hand and passing through another. The
negro escaped, but dropped the shoes in
his flight. The owner may recover them
at the barracks. They are quite new, but
without marks to indicate the dealer from
whom they were stolen.
DR.. Jarrell happened to be near the shed
when the accident occurred and dressed
Connaly's wound. II was not dangerous
and the policeman will soon be ready for
duty.
