Conference Bet ween Hospital Repre-
sentatives nd the Committee.

Conference Bet ween Hospital Repre-
sentatives IA nd the Committee.
The committee appointed by the City
Council to take ZIP the question with the
management of the several hospitals re-
ceiving city aid of the appointment by the
city of physicians to the hospital STATS in
addition to those selected by the manage
ment viii meet at the city exchange this
afternoon the representatives of the hos
pitfalls.
The Savannah Hospital will he repre-
scented by MIR. George ]. Mills, president of
the board; Or. William Duncan. superin-
tendent and Mr.. Malcolm Maclean of the
board of managers. Mr. c. NJ. Gilbert
president of the board of managers Of the
Georgia Infirmary, will represent that in
stitution. Dr. M. F. Dunn, visiting ply
stefan of st. Joseph's Infrmary, said last
night that he did not know whether the
Sisters in charge of the iufrmary had
been notified or whether they would be
represented.
Mayor Myers said that he had no objec-
ton to representatives of the newspapers
being present at the meeting, as the city
is entirely willing for the public to be
made acquainted with its side of the case.
DR. Duncan, superintendent of the Sa-
vannah Hospital, and Dr. T. J. Charlton,
secretary and treasurer of the Georgia
Infirmary, said that they preferred not 10
discuss the question until the matter has
been officially submitted to the N.
1--WE have no information of The wishes
or intentions of Council in the mattsr fur
Their than we have seen in the newspa-
pers." said Dr. Duncan, speaking for the
Savannah Hospital management. Il think
ii would have been proper for he city to
have addressed a communication to the
management of each hospital setting forth
the question which 1t desires to- present.
Either this or 1t should have invited the
boards of managers to a conference. There
has been no request for confer ence with
the managers of the Savannah Hospital
that 1 am aware of. The representatives
of the hospital who will attend the meet
ing tomorrow afternoon will have no au-
thority 10 enter into any arrangement or
agreement. Any proposition which may
be made 10 them will have to be submit
ted to the board of managers for consid-
Grafton and action"
If the city proposes that its further ap-
preparations to the hospitals shall be bas-
ed upon the right to representation on the
hospital stats, which 1t is anticipated will
be the case, the situation is likely to be-
come an interesting one.

DEMANDS UPON THE BUDGET.
Park and Trees Appropriation VIII
Not BE Increased.

Not BE Increased.
The Park and Tree Commission will
have to get along with the same amount
allowed it for the present year, Mayor
Myers said yesterday:
THE commission IS doing a good work, Z"
said the Mayor, land we would re glad
to give 1t more money, but with the heavy
demands upon us, incurred by the prose-
cutlon Of the house drainage work and for
other purposes, 1t will not be possible to
make any increases to the appropriations
of departments except such as are abso-
lutely necessary. The sinking fund and
interest account will require $500 COO, and
when to this Is added $4,000 for house
drainage you can very readily see that
the remainder of our income must be
parceled out carefully. The cost of opening
streets is another heavy item. We have
$4,000 of notes on this account failing
due next year for streets already purchas-
ed and as provision must be made for some
cash payments the street opening appro-
priation will necessarily be a large one.
We will have to spend some money for
paving, including a portion Of West Broad
street to the union depot site and one or
two streets in the southern. section. Tue
police will have to have more money in
order to extend protection to the southern
section, and there are other departments
whose appropriations it will be necessary
to Increase"
The Council viii meet as Committee of
the Whole Monday night at which
time it is expected 10 complete
the budget for next year. The
petition for the union depot may also be
passed upon at that time.
Mayor Myers said that it has not yet
been decided what will he done in the
smatter of Estill Park. According to the
agreement with the county, he said, the
city should have expended $1,000 on the
park last year, and 81 900 more this year,
which has not been done. Unless the city
decides to fulfill it's agreement, the park
will revert to the county"
The Mayor was inclined to doubt if the
city's money could be advantageOusly ex-
pended on the park.

City Can shn Enforce Its Conditions,
says Mayor Myers

| Mayor Myers received yesterday a copy
of the amendment to the charter of the
| Vernon Shell Road Company, which was
! recently passed by both houss Of the
| Legislature. The amendment is in line
with the proposition made by President
! Lester of the Vernon Shell Road Company
to meet the objections made against the
original bill introduced by Representative
I .aRoche.
Section l strikes ont from the charter
se' lions and 3 of the amendment Of
1876 thus doing away with the extensive
priv ileges with regard to the use of coun-
~ ads and substitu 1es two entirely diff
feren sections. Section 2 gives the com
pany the right TO con struct a railway on
the ex IRENE eastern or western margin OF
the Vel non Shell road to White Bluff and
Rose l. eW, and to operate cars there On
with ele ctricity or other motive power ex-
cept stet I'M, for the transportation of
freight and passenge RS.
Section 3 gives the company the right 10
const ruct and maintain railroad track.
and to OPT rate cars thereon, and in con-
nection the rewith to run such cars or We
hicles over the streets of Savannah, pro-
vided authority to do so be granted by the
Mayor nd aldermen.
Mayor Myers, in speaking of the mat
ter, said that he did not consider the
amended act an Objectionable one to the
city. AS the city's Jurisdiction extends
for two m Ties beyond the city limits the
company snn0t construct u track within
that distar zee without the permission of
the city, h said. Anyway, should the
road be bui 1t, the company will naturally
desire to eA tend it's tracks into the city,
and hence i'll all the more readily comply
with whatev er terms the city may impose.
Mr.. Lester said yesterday that he was
satisfied that, the road would be built
though when active steps in this direc-
ton will begh he could not say. The agi-
tation on the subject of the amendment
has attracted general interest and a num-
Der of the pl operty owners who have
holdings betw cen Savannah and White
Bluff have sp, lken favorably of the pro-
ject and assur I'd Mr.. Lester of their will
lingness to CO., operate. The result may be
the formation { f a local company for the
purpose of build ing the road.
The act amending the charter has not yet
been signed by the Governor, but it Is
presumed that this will be done shortly.

EXCHANGE WILL OPEN TUESDAY.
Consignors in the Morning and the
Public in the Afternoon.


The Woman's Exchange will be located
in the room under the Guards Club at
the corner of Bull street and Charlton
lane. An arrangement has been made by
the ladies associated for the conduct of
the exchange by which they secures the
store from Mr.. John D. Carswell, receiver
of the property of the Savannah Volunteer
Guards, until next October.
1t is believed the location is the best
the ladies' could obtain. 1t is admirably
suited to the purposes for which 1t is de-
sired, the display and sale-of articles made
by ladies Of the city. The mai rity of the
customers of the exchange will doubtless
be ladies, and there is scarcely store in
the city that more ladies pass.
The exchange which win be officially
known as the Savannah Exchange for Wo-
mans Work, will be opened for consignors
next Tuesday morning. That afternoon
at O'Clock 1t will be opened to the public,
and tea will be served by the ladies. 1t is
hoped that the opening may prove event.
full as the ladies who promote the charity
are anxious that 1t may receive all the en-
couragement 1t deserves from the people
of Savannah.
The exchange is intended to afford a
market for the handiwork of ladies in Sa

OF their circums ances or who may desire
to add to their income by their industry
and talent. The motives are pur ly philan-
thropic, the ladies' interested in the or
ganization desiring to make no more out
of it than will be necessary to defray HE
current expenses. Those expenses will be
by no means nominal, as the rent of the
store is in itself no trifle. The ladies felt
doubtful of the advisability of securing the
store, but they have enough in hand to
pay the rent until the expiration of the
term for which they have 1t. They figure
that they will certainly make some thing
in the way of commissions on sa1es, and
that their funds viii be supplemented by
that means.
Mrs. Munneriyn will be in charge of the
exchange. She will receive articles from
consignors and hold them for sale Her
work will be under the direction of the
board of managers that has been formed
from among the ladies' interested in the
organization.
The board of managers has not received
the full amount asked for, but number
have subscribed and the ladies feel suf-
fcentfy encouraged TO undertake the
work. The responses of some have been
very generous and the ladies are thorough
ly appreciative of the assistance they have
received. They hope that any who have
not yet contributed to the charity and
who may desire to do 50 will send in the r
onationS at an early day.

FLAMES IN CHATHAM ACADEMY.
Blaze in Miss CIaghOrn's Desk Called
Out the FIremen.

Out the FIremen.
The fire department was called out at
about 7:30 O'Clock last night by an alarm
from box No. IS. at York and Bull streets.
The fire was in the Chatham Academy. II
had been discovered by Fireman Brunson
of engine company No. 3, who ran to the
station a Abercorn street and Oglethorpe
avenue, just a block distant,to hurry appa-
ratus to the Scene, knowing that he could
manage more quickly than by sending in
the alarm from the nearest box.
The fire was communicated to nothing
else in the building than the desk of Miss
Anna Claghorn, who teaches the Fourth
grade of Chatham School No. !, in the
northeast room, on the second floor of the
building Mrs. Fish, in charge of the
building, said there must have been
matches in the drawers of the desk, and
that their combustion must have caused
the fire, as there had been no one in the
room since II was shut up after the chill
dren left during the forenoon. The fire
may have been smoldering all that time.
as the drawers were locked and little air
could find entrance.
The glare of the burning desk and It's
contents attracted the attention of Fire
man Brunson, as he passed along Dray-
ton street His trip to the station was
made quickly, and the chemical engine
was soon in play. A ladder was run to
the window and the firemen went into the
room. A few minutes application of the
stream from the chemical put out the
flames, the firemen swept up the floor and
all traces of their fight with the flames
was soon removed.
The desk was badly scorched and all of
Miss Claghon's books were ruined 1t
Is fortunate that there was no combustible
material near the desk or the firemen
might have had TO contend with more
serious fire. A considerable crowd was
attracted by the alarm and the news that
the fire was in the academy. Many Savan-
nahians have attended school In the old
building. and Il would be TO their infinite
regret to see n destroyed.

SMOKE AND FLAME IN CELLAR.
Fire Discovered in Basement Under

Fire Discovered in Basement Under
Magistrate Nnughtin's Office.
AT 1880 o'clock this morning fire was dis
covered in the cellar beneath the rooms
occupied as offices by Magistrate NJ.
Naughtin, on Bryan street, near the cor
ner of Whitaker. Smoke was pouring from
a grating in the front of the cellar, and a
man in the market, who observed it, turn
ed in the alarm from box 81 at the corner
of Barnard and Congress streets.
The northern section of the fire depart
ment responded promptly, and in a min

the free air that was produced by the
stream from the chemical, one of the fire.
men forced his way down into the cellar
and discovered the origin of the blaze.
Some old furniture that had been levied
on under process from Justice Naughtin's
court had been stored in the cellar, with
the hay that had been used to pack IL
lying loosely around. quantity of this
hay had been collected and placed by the
side of one of the old dressers. and a match
applied. The result was a fire that would
have caused the destruction of the build
ing and the block in which IL is situated,
had it not been for the quick work Of the
department.
A window in the rear of the cellar fur
nished the explanation of the manner in
which the ihtendiary had effected his es-
cape. IL was open and short ladder led
from the window to the ground and safe
~. Through this window the incendiary
had made his escape after setting fire TO
the pile of combustibles he had prepared.
The case will be Investigated further Ii
Is surmised that some enemy of the mag
lstrate wished TO do him an injury or
that a tramp who came I'm to sleep re-
NAMED 10 smoke. The accidental theory
might account for the FIRE but the care
with which the dresser and the straw were
collected together casts a shadow Of doubt
on this explanation.

POLICY HOLDERS BENEFITED.
Kansas Mutual Life Insurance Com.
pany Pays Bigger Returns.

The law passed at the special sea-
sion of the legislature, levying a tax
OF two per cent on gross premiums
received IN Kansas from life insurance
companies not chartered in Kansas
but doing business here, gives much
advantage to Kansas companies. 1t
leaves no second choice to persons
contemplating taking insurance as to
which company can give them the
greatest profits in the future, mas
much as all foreign companies have
to pay the two per cent tax on gross
premiums received and Kansas policy
holders do not have to pay it on Kan
sas business in the Kansas Mutual.
This enables the Kansas Mutual to
pay two per cent better dividend
than non resident companies can do.
The larger rate Of interest earned by
the Kansas Mutual over that OF east
ern companies will enable that COM
pany to give very much better returns
on its policies.

Lived More Than the Span.

DILLON, Feb. 2l.-At her home
three miles north Of this place on last
Sunday evening departed the spirit Of
Mrs. Sarah A. Root, at the advanced
age of IS years. Funeral services
were held today and the remains in.
tered at the New Basel church ceme-
terry, where rests the body Of her hus-
band, 0. A. Root, who preceded her
to the spirit land some II years ago.
Mrs Root was one OF the pioneers
OF Dickinson county, moving here in
the early seventies, and helping by
her energy and industry to make this
new country blossom as the rose.
She was the mother Of a large family
and well did she keep her trust. No
labor was too hard or dangers too
great for her to perform or overcome
in their behalf. She has earned the
rest which is hers and trustfully and
peacefully fell asleep in the Lord.
Mrs. J. N. Burton, Of Abilene, is q
surviving daughter and mourns the
departure Of a kind and loving
mother.
