WILL EXTEND ITS coNDUITs.
GEORGIA COMPANY NOT TO STOP
IN PRESCRIBED LIMITS.

The Lines on Ahercorn to Go to
Huntington Street, and Those on
Whitaker May Also BE Extended.
Both Companies Had Gangs Work
ing Yesterday-BeIieved That the
Withdrawal of Manager Polk
From the BELL Company Is the
First Step in Local Telephone
Fight.
The short time the companies laying
conduIts have in which to complete their
work compelled both to continue operations
yesterday. The Brush Electric Light peo-
pie had a gang working on Barnard street.
while the Georgia Telephone Company
were busily laying its oondults along Bay
from Abercorn to Whitaker streets. 1t Is
now believed that all the conduit work will
be completed within the next ten days,
and that the city will in a measure be re-
lieved from the dust and other inconvenI-
ences.
The Georgia. Telephone Company does
not intend to stop Its conduits within the
section in which they are required by the
city. Anticipating the future growth of
the city, Mr.. w. A Blsbee said last night
that he proposes to continue the conduits
south on Abercorn to Huntingdon street
and on Whitaker to Liberty street, and
possibly further. He has ordered an ex-
ira 10000 feet of duct, which will be here
IN time to push these extensions to COM
pletion.
My reasons for changing the original
plan, said Mr.. Bisbee, "ls that Savannah
Is a rapidly growing city, and the ad-
Vahced steps the City Council has recently
taken In street paving proves the necessity
OF putting conduits in the ground when it
Is cheaper for the companies and less in
convenient to the public. If other changes
are made in the plans, they will be In the
shape of extensions.
AS soon as the conduit work is COM
pleted it is my intention to hurry the con-
nections for persons who have already
contracted for telephones" Mr.. Bisbee
said THE Georgia company will have the
copper system throughout, which we are
anxious to prove serviceable and satisfac-
tory"
The Announcement in the Morning News
that Mr.. r. Fl. Polk, local manager Of the
Bell company had withdrawn from that
company to manage the office of the Geor-
ga company, was received by many with
surprise. Many We're inclined to ascribe
this the first step the new company mas
taken in the competition promised in Sa-
vannah in the telephone business. Mr..
Folks resignation, after such long and
satisfactory service with the Bell COM
pany, was rather unexpected, and the fact
this his services with the new company
promise to be quite as efficient and untiring
as they were with the other, gave rise 10
the opinion that the Georgia people are
preparing themselves for a sharp fight.

EASY ON THE FIREMEN.


An evidence Of the saying that a police
man is expected to use more discretion
than force was shown yesterday by the I'M
usual way in which the firmen of the In
dian street Ere station were called out TO
a blaze In Indian lane.
While quietly tramping his beat along
Indian lane one of the finest on the force
saw smoke issuing from the roof Of small
house. Not being fully satisfied it was
fire the policeman hesitated about turning
in an alarm. as he did not care to have
the apparatus from two stations chasing
to the scene to put out a small fire. lie
quietly took his time and wrote the follow
iug. which was sent TO the Indian street
station by q negro:
"Chicf: Send two men and long lad
der TO No. $40 Indian lane at once.
think the roof is on fire. O.
city Policeman"
The negro did not understand the inn
portance of his mission, as he is said not
to have struck d trot on his way. on
reaching the station he handed the note
so unconcernediy to a fireman that the lat
ter took little notice of IT. He leisurely
delivered il TO Foreman Campos, who
would have laid al aside for the chief ex-
cept for the fact 1t was not sealed. On
reading il, however. Campos lost no time
in getting a detachment on the combina-
ton and proceeding quickly to the lane
There he found the roof of the house in
flames, but the fire was in its incipiency
and was readily extinguished.
After the hremen returned they thought
the policeman used bad judgment in not
sending in the alarm from the box. But
he evidently thought the fire was not suf-
fcient TO justify calling out the entire
force, which was shown by the success
with which it was extinguished. If the
negro had failed to deliver the note the
department might have had considerable
trouble on its hands, but II was admitted
the policeman maintained his equanimity
well. The firemen say they don't care to
take any chances of this kind, however,
preferring to be called in time TO fires in
the regular way.

GUN CLUBS OFFICERS,
Forest Citys Ready for the shooting

D. Grotheer, vice president.
John e. Mcguire, secretary.
John Rocker, treasurer and ordnance Of
ficer.
Fred Jaugstetter field captain.
John Timer, John Reideman and Peter
Morton, executive committee.
After the declaration of war this club
did not do much shooting, many of the
best shots having left the city as enlisted
soldiers, these members are home again.
and the club is now about to enter upon an
era of activity.
The Forest City Gun Club Is perhaps the
oldest organization of this character In
the state, its active members number over
100, and it's bears the distinction of being
the most successful gun club in Georgia.
Florida or South Carolina. 1t was organ
lied on June s. 1884, and since that time its
victories have been numerous and the
prizes won are beautiful and costly 1t de-
feated all teams at Millen in 1884, and won
the National Gun Association medal the
following year. 1t captured the pennant
at Brunswick in 1885, and took second
prize in the interstate clay pigeon tourna-
ment in the same year, won the Llgowsky
medal al Cumberland Island in 1888, de-
feated the Palmetto Gun Club of Charles
ton in '96 and 81, and won two out of
three contests in 1898.
The club has leased grounds of the Law
ton tract to the east of the Cathedral
cemetery, and they are now building a club
house at that point, which will be ready
for occupancy on next Thursday, on which
day the grounds will be opened for the
first practice shoot of the season. Ar
rangements have been made with the
street railway to establish station con-
venent to the grounds, and a committee
is now making arrangements for u series
OF contests to take place during the sum
mer, at which the crack clubs of Georgia
Florida and South Carolina will find an
opportunity to show their skin.

LILIES THE SPRING SCHEME.
They Have Been Set Out I'm the
Squares on Bull street 10 Park.

Lilies are the spring scheme of the Park
and Tree Commission for the squares in
Bull street from Bay to CASTOR. The
lilies have been set out in most OF the
squares, and have lent an attraction to
them which has been the subject of much
favorable comment
After the lilies are out of bloom they
will be supplanted by tropical plants
which will be the fall scheme. Forsyth
park is to be treated differently from last
year. The increased number of plants the
Park and Tree Commission has cultivat-
ed during the winter and spring renders
il necessary TO employ more shrubbery
The consequence viii be less flores cence
and more shrubbery. AT the same time
the commission recognizes the fact char
there should be certain amount Of flow
ers, and they intend to supply all defects
An important consideration In connec-
ton with the commissions cultivation ot
flowers is that there is no extra cost to
the city. There are now said TO be some
thing like $500 worth of plants in the
green house on Barnard street. all OF
which have been supplied in many, IN.
stances at the personal expense of the
commissioners. Commissioner Ellis is en-
tilted TO credit for the taste and skin he
has shown in directing the flower growth.

This Matter Up at Once.

A member Of the Council street and lane
committee said yesterday that the paint

phone and electric light and railway poles
will be taken up at once and the ordi-
nance on this subject strictly enforced.

not have iron prongs on them within
eight feet OF the ground. The names OF
the owners must also be on the pocs.
An alderman said yesterday that he did
not think the ordinance is being complied
with. He believed action should al once
be taken TO have the poles dressed M,
which VIII make them far less objection
able than at present "As for the iron
prongs on which the poles are climbed. ,"
he said, lit may be said there is dsncer
in allowing them matted in to The. ground

FILING SUITS For NEXT TERM.
Mrs. DOOner Sues ara Accident Com
pany for $4,000.

pAuy AOF sO,VDO.
Mrs. Margaret Dooner has filed suit
against the Standard Life and Accident
Insurance Company in the City Court
for $1,000 The suit is to recover the
full amount OF an accident policy, which
was held by her son, Joseph r. Dooner Of
Columbus, Ga.
Mrs. Dooner's petition alleges that her
son died from the effects Of a pistol shot
wound received while in his room in
hotel at Columbus on Nov. last, and that
the shooting was either accidental or that
death was caused by external and vio-
lent causes for which the insured was in
no wise responsible, this being the condi-
ton upon which the company guarantee
to pay the fun amount OF the policy.
Mr.. Dooners death has always been
something OF a mystery. His friends hold
that he either shot himself accidentally
while handling a pistol in his room, or that
he was killed by other parties. The in
surance company holds to the theory of
suicide and has therefore refused to pay
the policy.
John James has filed suit against
the Florida Central and PeninsuIar
Railroad for 5000 damages. Jones
claims that while running on the
road as brakeman the train
collided with several COWS at Still
well, in consequence OF which collision he
was thrown into a ditch and sustained
serious injuries.
John F. Alderman has filed suit against
A. 3. Ellarbee on a promissory note for
S21s.25.
To-day Is return day for the City Court
being the last day upon which suits can
be fled for the ensuing May term.
