SOLDIERS RATES COME OFF.
They VIII Have to Pay Same Fare
as Civilians After To-day.

They VIII Have to Pay Same Fare
as Civilians After To-day.
Cheap rates for soldiers travelling on
furlough or sick leave win be withdrawn
by the roads in the Southeastern Passen-
ger Association tomorrow. To-day they
will continue at half-fare, but after To-
day soldiers win have TO pay as much as
civilians to ride.
In the general hospital there are about
100 sick men. As they c5nvalesce they are
allowed TO go to their homes on sick leave
The men now in hospital Will find they
will have to pay full fare. That will be
rather rough on the poor fellows, who
have had a hard time of IL at best.
The Savannah lines have handled a
great many soldiers since the camps were
first established at this place. Their rev
erues have been enormously increased by
the transportation of men, freight end
equipment Each line came out about
even in the apportionment scheme that
was worked out in time for the last eight
regiments mustered out here TO be in
cluded in it. 1t may be that one of the
roads will demand a deficit in its appor-
toned number made good though It is be-
iieved more likely that the thing is so
nearly satisfactory to all that it will be
allowed to stand as ii worked out.

TO GO TO THE JURY TO-DAY
Continued from Eighth Page.


pany to give this man a verdict. There
is not a man on this jury can put his
hand on his heart and say that
Prince has told the whole truth, and moth
ing but the truth. If he came here with
the intention of making truthful state
ment, why did he have to stop and ponder
over the very simplest questions that
asked him? Why did he change his recoI-
lection of the time when he first saw the
car? He first said that he saw it for the
first time when within SIX feet of the
north rail, and then after a nights sleep
he comes back and tells you that he was
mistaken the day before, and that he had
no recollection of how far he was from
the track when he first saw the car"
Mr.. Adams, in concluding. for the de-
Tense, defended his client from the charges
made by Mr.. Osborne. The solicitor gem
eral, he said, was so accustomed to prose-
cutting criminals that it was very natural
for him to assume that the party against
whom he wished a verdict was attempting
to deceive him and to proceed accord
ingly.
The plaintiff in this case is not Grim
inal," said Mr. Adams. ION the con-
trary, he is a man of good repute and
highly esteemed by those who know him.
He is said by those with whom he is en-
ployed to be a competent clerk and to
be conscientious and careful in all his
statements. 1 do not believe that any one
who knows him would charge him with
making a false statement"
Mr.. Adams made some very telling crti-
cism of the testimony of some of the rail-
way company's Witnesses especially its
employees. He compared the written state
ments of the motorman and conductor of
the ear, and called attention 20 their re-
markable similarity II was very evident.
he said whoever wrote the sec
ond statement had the statement of the
first before his eyes at the time. Mr.. Ad-
ans pointed out that there was consider
abe discrepancy in the testimony given
by these Witnesses, gon the stand. He
also criticised the statements of the con-
ductor and motorman that the car was GO
ing at the rate of only a mile an hour
when the accident occurred and pointed
to the fact that Mr.. Prince was dragged
a considerable distance after being struck.
being picked up according to the testi-
mony of the witnesses, fifty or sixty feet
from the road 1t was very improbable.
he said, that Mr.. Prince should have at
tempted to cross the track at the point
indicated by the railway employees. as he
was well aware of the hight of the rails
at that point
The evidence of the two sides and the
legal position taken by the opposing coun-
sci being so entirely opposite the charge
of the judge to the jury is of more than
usual importance and is awited win
much interest by both sides

WATER MAINS AT THE CAMPS.
Requests Being Made That the city

Requests Being Made That the City
Remove Them Elsewhere.
The real estate companies now disposing
Of lands in the southeastern section of the
city are endeavoring to have the city wa
ter mains extended there, and it is said
their chances of success are Favorable
The chairman of the water committee is
understood TO have given the officers OF
the various companies encouragement. and
they have been he'd to believe that the wa
ter supply is assured.
The extension of mains into that section
is only in keeping with The intention of the
city when connections We're made with the
military camps. 1t was known when The
long stretch of pipe was laid to reach the
various camps that it could not be used
after the troops left and for this reason
some urged that the city could not afford
to undertake the work. They said it
would be a costly experiment 1t was
suggested. however, that after the troops
left the city could remove the pipes closer
in ard use them in furnishing water 10
the suburbs which We're building up as
rapidly then as now. Now that the time
for the execution of this suggestion has
arrived, property owners interested in the
building up of the city are urging that
the pipes be removed.
Oglethorpe Land Company, says ii is the
intention Of that company to erect num-
her of Eouses on It's lots on Eighth street,
east of the Savannah, Florida and West
ern Railway tracks and to do this will re-
auire that water be supplied. He says
the company does not expect the city TO
leap in the dark, but assurances viii be
given of sufficient subscribers to make
This improvement good investment. The
guarantee Of a paying patronage is prob
ably the only condition the city will re-
quire, as 1t is anxious to get consumers
for its ample supply of water.
When the city begins removing the pipes
from the camps the probability is there
will be a lumber Of other applicants for
connections That part of the unimprov-
ed section west of Bull street will doubt
less come i'm for its share of mains. The
large amount of pipe a the city disposal
is believed to be sufficient to provide ia
cnties for al portions of the city for
como time TO come.

CHANGES IN STREET SIGNS.
Director Gadsden Believed There Are
Two 1t Is Proper to Make.

Two 1t Is Proper to Make.
Since the new street signs have been
erected a number of changes have sug-
gested themselves to the committee on
streets and lanes, some of which will
likely be made in the next lot ordered. d.
rector Gadsdep says he docs not see the
necessity of adding street" to the names,
as it is superhuous, and only serves to
make the sign larger than necessary.
The more important change that will
he made is the addition of CO. or wv
Ceast" or 'west') on the signs of the
east and west streets. While nearly ev-
erybody in Savannah knows that Bull
street is the dividing line, and that the
cross streets east of it are east and west
OF 1t are west 1t is not known to strangers,
VINO are largely the beneficaries of these
conveniences. Some think the signs are
Incomplete without the e and w after
The names of the cross streets, so that
visitors may know where they are. With
the letter added there can be no posi-
oility of being mistaken in locating any
point but without this, persons are apt,
Tor instance, to search on Bryan street,
east, for a point on Bryan street. west.
IL Is said to be the custom In the larger
ciues now to add these letters, and there
by designate the portion of the city from
me dividing line. The chances are that
Ihis letter will be added in the next lot
OF signs, and that the st" will be left
on The changes viii first be discussed,
however, by the street and lane commit

The signs are a great improvement to

are 10 be placed The first lot ordered
