100000 FOR PLUMBERS.
Inspector COsErNve Estimates the
Damage From Freeze.

Damage From Freeze.
Plumbing Inspector Cosgrove finds that
Savannah suffered to the extent of about
$4,000 in the breakage of pipes as a result
of the blizzard. This is the first estimate
that has been made with any degree of
accuracy.
With view to finding out the extent
of the loss TO property the inspector took
turn among the plumbers, and obtained
from each the number OF orders received
up to the present time In some cases il
was found as high as 200 orders had been
place, while other plumbers did not have
more than fifty patrons TO look after
While the orders were being looked after
the inspector also inquired about the work
TO be done for each person. In some cases
he found the cost would be 50. while in
others it would run beyond $50. From
these figures he struck a liberal average
estimating the cost at each residence AZ
s.. On this basis the total cost the In.
spector says, will be something over SO. =
co..
The large number of orders the plumbers
have ahead will necessarily make the
work move slowly. Where the case. are
not urgent, the patrons are treated alike
their orders being attended to as their
names are reached. IL is stated n viii
take at least hree weeks yet to do the
larger part of the work The breal,aye
has necessitated putting in a large anount
OF new pipe in some places, which. or
course, adds considerably to the cost or
the work.

TWO INaUEsTs FOR TONIGHT.
killing of David Anderson and Re-
beeca RyaIs win Be Investigated.

mecca Hyals VIII Be Investigated.
Coroner Goette will hold two inquests
tonight. The first will be on the body of
David Anderson, who was killed by Lewis
White, in York street lane, about a month
ago. White escaped and has never been
captured.
The second inquest will be upon the
body of Rebecca Ryals, who was shot and
fatally injured by Frank Iverson. After
shooting the Ryals woman Iverson turned
his weapon upon himself, and he is now
lying. seriously wounded, at the Georgia
Infirmary The woman fingered for d
time and died at the infrmary on last Sun
day.
The rush of business in the Coroner's
Court during the last few days is almost
unprecedented. Within two days, if the
Investigations scheduled for tonight come
off, he will have held four inquests. The
inquest upon the body of David Anderson
has been delayed in the hope that the po-
lice would effect the arrest of his slayer,
but as this has not been done the coroner
determined to hold it anyhow.

SAYS A can RAN OVER HIS FOOT
Little Darky Tells Different stories
About an Accident.


Sammy Thomas, a 10-year-old darkey,
got his foot mashed in some way out on
the Ogeechee road yesterday and said
street car did II. Superintendent Benagh
went~out with a physician as soon as he
heard of the boys claim that he had been
injured by a car and the wound was
dressed, Mr.. Benagh said there were no
bones broken and that there is a ques-
ton as TO how the boy got hurt.
The story the boy told the superintend-
ent was that he was trying to board the
car on the rear platform. The motorman
had not stopped for his signal, and when
he tried to jump on the car he slipped and
the rear wheel mashed his foot Mr.
Benagh thinks this story untrue, and
says the boy had made a statement to
white people who found him lying up
against fence crying over his hurt that
he had been run over by a wagon. The
superintendent also heard the boy say
that 1t was car 80 and again car 81 that
mashed his foot, but none of the conduc-
tors or motormen knew anything about
the accident
Superintendent Benagh says the boys In
the neighborhood are accustomed to jump
on and off the cars stealing rides. They
are reckless in this, and stand on the
trucks in dangerous positions. He be-
leves Sammy Thomas must have been
hurt In this way IL he was hurt at all by
a car.

COMPRESSED AIR THE THING.
President PauISen FavOrS Il for SUI
burban and West End.

Mr.. Jacob Paulsen, president Of the SUI
burban and West End street railroad, said
yesterday In regard TO the talk about the
company adopting compressed air as mo-
tive power, when the lines are extended
through the city that he is confident the
extension win be made at an early day,
ana that Savannah win see a revolution in
| the street car business.
Mr.. Lazaron is going North to investi-
gate the compressed air system, and it is
also fact our company is contemplating
a change said Mr.. Pauisen. There is no
doubt TO my mind but compressed air IS
the coming motive power for all vehicles.
Nnen they get TO using it in Savannah to
propel bicycles I'm going 10 invest IN one
myself. That this system viii lead all 9TH
ers in the next ten years is very probable,
Judging from its apparent Feasibility and
the exhaustless supply Of air to feed the
chambers. When a compressed air railroad
SHUTS down for want Of proper backing
from the atmosphere. a dearth of passen-
gers would surely follow.
we want the best and the cheapest sys-
tenn OF motive power for our extended
anes," continued Mr., Paulsen. THE con-
siaeratlon we expect to receive at the hands
OF the present Council assures us of being
oDAS 70 SFaufy our ambition IN putting
our road on an equal footing with any
other IN the country. Our desire is to
nave strictly up-to-date system, with
neat and comfortably equipped cars, and
sOcn other conveniences as the public de-
Inands. This can be done, and the Subur-
ban and West End viii do it if shown the
same consideration other street car lines
In savannah have received al the hands
of the city.
Ihe reason the company has not made
much progress Mr.. Paulsen said sis be-
cause the city has always been dead set
against us. Some officials of the last Coun-
ell both for and against us, got
INTO arguments, and while they
were eross-firing at each other over dis
puted rights of the Suburban and West
End the company lay fiat between the
lnes catching the worst end of the fight
why. they even tried to take
away our franchise With the
present Council it is likely we
Will be better enabled to carry out our
plans, which have not been abandoned, but
simply sUpended until a Council more ia
vorably disposed to our company than the
last, should get into power We look for
no further trouble in getting our fran
chises."
viii the company now pay the city's
clhms for the vitrified brick paving be-
tween the car tracks on St Julian street,
west of the market" President Paulsen
was asked.
"a question was raised as to our respon-
sibiity," he replied. but it may be the
claims VIII be settled without any further
contest"

Officers Say There Is a Chance of Its
Being Part of the $4,000.
The work of the medical officers has
been almost completed among the Sixth
Immunes, and this feature of the work
of muster out will be over to-day. There
remains but one company to be exam
ined by the doctors for the purpose OF
ascertaining what injuries they may have
sustained during the service in the army.
The officers of the Sixth believe there
is a chance that they may be kept in the
army. They consider their regiment has
just as good a chance as any other OF be-
ing taken as one of those the President
may choose to make up the 5000 volun-
teers he is authorized to gather to sup
plement the regular army. The officers
do not mean that the regiment may be
kept in as it is, but that those desiring
to remain in the service may do so IS
members of the Sixth, forming nucleus
around which the regiment may again be
built up.
Nothing has been heard to indicate that
the department has this plan in considera-
ton, but the officers say 1t would not be
surprising information if word should come
that the regiment Is to be retained. They
believed when the regiment was raised
Snt there was a strong probability of its
icing kept as part of the regular army.
and they see no reason now why their
belief at that time may not become a GER
tainty. If the war department decides 10
keep the regiment in the service 1t win
have to act quickly, as March ID has been
officially settled upon as the date for the

FANS HAVE HEARD NOTHING.

VIII Not Bring Orioles Here,

VIII Not Bring Orioles Here.
Mr.. Murray Stewart has heard nothing
from Manager Edward Hanlon of the
Brooklyn team to Indicate that he has
changed his plan Of bringing either the
Brooklyn or Baltimore club to Savannah.
He was surprised to see the statement in
The Geographic columns of yesterdays
Morning News that the Orioles would get
in shape at Macon, owing to the fact
that the grounds at Savannah, on which
Manager Hanlon had an option, may pos
sibly not be ready in time, as many alter
atoms have to be made there"
Every stipulation and requirement i'm
posed by Manager Hanlon was met by the
base ball people IN Savannah and a con-
tract embodying these stipulations, was
sent him. When he was in Savannah he
told Mr.. Stewart and Morning News re-
porter that he would bring one of the
teams in which he is interested TO Sa-
vannah, if the grounds were put in proper
shape. He said that he would sign con-
tract to bring a team here, if the condi-
tons of the contract required that the al
teratfons and improvements in the grounds
that he demanded be made. The contract
was prepared and sent him. AS yet no
answer has been received, and the base
ball fans here will be much surprised
and disappointed If Mr.. Hanlon fails to
comply with his promise.

SAY THEY ARE COMING BACK.
A Sergeant Major i'm Cuba Quotes a
General AbOut II,


A friend in Savannah has just received
a letter from the sergeant major of the
Sixth Missouri Regiment. The command
is stationed near Havana, and the boys
are generally pretty anxious to get back
home and out of the service. The SER
geant major tells his friends he is very
sure the regiments of the Seventh Corps
are soon to be ordered back. He writes
that he heard one of the major generals
tell Gen. H. c. Hasbrouck, COMMANDING
the Second Brigade of the Second Division,
that the Sixth will probably receive or
ders to come back home by March Is.
The people of Savannah would be glad
to know that the regiments that were
here last fall are 10 be sent back. Many
Savannahans have friends among the
officers and men and pleasant associations
would be renewed if the regiments were
to encamp near the city again

DANGEROUS SOMETIMES.
Humor is NotAIways Safe in
Practice of Law.

Judge Tibbils went to Miami
last night via the Frisco, to Fair
land. Obliging ever. the judge
volunteered to transact any bust
Tess a brother attorney had, but
the latter declined. The judge
was too much of joker and his
colleague was afraid of him. When
he had gone the latter told this
story which a client once told him:
A very witty lawyer was once
trying a case for the said client
and in the course of his argument
the trial judge stopped him with
the observation that he had the
matter turned around. The temp
tation was too great and the law
yer blurted out, st will be all

EMMETT DALTON'S PARDON.
Kansas City Paper Says His Mother is
Working For One.

The Kansas City Journal printed
the following Tuesday from its
Topeka correspondent:
"The mother of Emmett Dalton,
the noted outlaw, is working dill
gently to secure a pardon for her
son, who is serving a life sentence
in the Lansing penitentiary. She
is securing the signatures to a pc
tition to be presented to the gov
ernor asking that Dalton be releas-
ed. The prison officials say the
petition is signed by a large ma
jority of the people of Coffeyville,
where the Daltons did their kill
ing"
There is certainly a mistake
about the above report. Mrs. Dali
ton has attempted at various times
to work up sentiment in favor of
her son, but has always met with
disappointment. The statement
that the petition is signed by Col
feyville people is not true at all.
A remonstrance against clemency
to Dalton has been filed at Tope-
ka. People here are not aware
that any effort is being made in
Emmett's behalf at present
