Mayor Myers challenges the traffic

Traffic Manager Hinton of the Central Of
Georgia Railway" said Mayor Myers,

of instances complained of the trouble lay
beyond the control of the Central Rail

roads are concerned. I think public dis
cussion would be beneficial in many
ways"

FILED SUIT FOR DIVORCE.
Sensational Charges Made by Mrs.
Adelaide Smith Against Husband.

Mrs. Adelaide ]. Smith filed suit for
total divorce aud alimony against her
husband Joseph H. Smith, in the Super
Tor Court yesterday. The plaintiff
charges that the defendant is an habitual
drunkard, that he has been so foEssome
time and that by his wanton ana OPP
presSive cruelty he has forced her to
leave his bed and board
The libel makes specific allegations of
fact to support these general grounds
for divorce. 1t is stated that the part
les were married on Dec. 8, 1896, and that
for some short interval of time the mari
TAI relations of the couple were at least
free from strife and contention, if not
absolutely ideal. Life, during this per-
lod' was endurable to the plaintiff, if
not perfectly happy. 1t was subsequent
10 the marriage that her husband ac-
CURED his unfortunate craving for drink
and his propensity to satisfy il at the
expense of every other consideration,
whether of the happiness of the plaintiff,
the sanctlty and purity of their home,
or his own mental and material well-be-
ing.
Since the requirement of this habit he
mas on many occasions cruelty tortured
and wounded her feelings. on one oc-
caslon, during December Of last year. the
plaintiff charges that Smith struck her
over the head and that by a course of
continual brutality and persecution he
forced her TO leave him during last
month. She asks for a total divorce. for
permanent alimony and the restoratio
Of her maiden name of Adelaide Jacobs.
The plaintiff has no other property than
her wearing apparel and a few articles
OF household furniture, but her husband
owns and runs a barroom on Tybee Is
land and makes, through this establish
ment and in other ways a least 800 per
month. A rule nisi was granted by Judge
Falligant, requiring the defendant TO
show cause on SATURDAY, Feb. II, why he
should not pay the plaintiff temporary
alimony pending the final trial and de-
cision of the case

THIRD DEFEAT FOR TUTTY.
Jury in ward Case Gave Verdict
Against Him for Full Amount.

A third case against Charles Tutty in
which the plaintiff was his nephew,
William Ward. was tried in the City
Court yesterday, and for the third time
in two days the jury rendered a verdict
against the defendant. Like the other
cases the first judgement in the case on
trial had been obtained about eight years
ago.
Recently Tutty came into quite a good
deal of money, through the death of his
brother. and it is because of this fact
that the efforts to enforce the collection
of the old judgements have been made
Garnishment and attachment of funds in
the hands of third parties have been re-
sorted to to secure this end
Tutty has resisted these garnishments
on the ground that he was never served
with legal process when the cases were
first tried and judgement first obtained
Three times this contention has been de-
cided against him. The judgement yes
terday was for $l65, principal, with in
terest for about eight years, amounting
to quite half as much more. The plain
tiff in the case sued hSs uncle for goods
sold and delivered upon an open account
Since that time the plaintiff has become
insane. and is now confined I'm the state
sanitarium at Milledgeville. In all of the
cases determined against Tutty during
the past two days the plaintiffs have
been represented by Messrs. Wilson &
Rogers.

Committee to Advertise for Bids for

Square. The tower has been a landmark
in Savannah for nearly fifty years. 1t

water works was constructed. the works
being located just beyond the Ogeechee

river water was used.
The tower is a very substantial struc-
ture. consisting of an outer building of
brick. with an inner tower also of brick,
upon which the iron tank rests. The brick
structure is fifty-four feet in hight. Above
this is the large ron tank with a ca
pacity OF 1S6. 900 gallons, which towers 10
q hight OF thirty-siX feet above the brick
work The Use of the tower was discon-

works on GWinnet street extended was
completed. In fact, lis use had been
found unnecessary before that time, the
engines at the Old water works having
sufficient power to furnish the pressure

and robbed Mr. r. G. Norton on the
night of Nov. q, were arrested yesterday

He was taken from the vehicle and after
being robbed, beaten almost senseless.
Yesterday he called at the barracks and
was able to identify positively one of the
men, but was not quite sure of the other.
They are charged with assault with in

PREPARING FOR EXAMS.
Many VIII Appear Before the Mill
tary Board.


The military examining board has no
little work in prospect. OF late many new
officers have been chosen and all will
have 10 be examined In the First Regi-
ment Infantry alone there are nineteen
officers who must be examined before the
expiration of the time prescribed by law.
Four of them are field officers. 50 that
the work before the examining board for
this district is diminished to that extent.
The candidates for the positions of field
officers will appear before the field ex-
aiming board.
Col Jordan F. Brooks is still at the
head of the examining board for line Of
ficers and those whose rank is below that
of a field officer. As he, has been placed
upon the retired list it is quite probable
that he will be relieved of the rather ar
duous duties of the examining board.
Some Savannah field officer will probably
be named in his stead, and it is possible
that the two other members of the board
may be relieved and others appointed in
their places, as the present board has con-
Quoted many examinations during its ex-
istence, and the authorities at Atlanta
may regard it as time that they were sue
ceeded by others.
The officers-elect are now very busy get
ting in trim for their examinations. The
requirements for the positions are by no
means to be laughed at, especially those
for the higher ones A few of those who
will take the examinations will probably
stand them at an early date, as it is de-
sired that they be qualified to appear in

DOWN ON THE DEMOCRATS.
Mr.. Rutherford Doesn't Think Much
of Kentucky Politics.


A Democrat himself and a man who has
stood we'll up in the ranks of his party
in Lexington, KY. Mr.. J. II. Rutherford,
who was at the De Soto yesterday thinks
Democratic methods and Democratic rule
in his state are in a very bad way. He ex
pressed himself as decidedly against the
measures that have been the ruling ones
of late in Kentucky.
The great mass of Kentucky Demo
Gratis are all right said Mr..
Rutherford. Il am confident that
if the Louisville and Nashville and the
Democratic machine We're left out of the
question and could WELD no influence at
all, a contest tomorrow between Beckham
and Taylor, with only Kentucky Demo-
Gratis voting would result in victory for
the latter The better Democrats are OPP
posed 10 the methods Of those who control
the party, but seem poWerless to improve
them.
mir. Bryan could never carry Ken
lucky. Had he not entered the state on
his speech making tour for GOebel there
would have been no trouble. He was de-
feated in Kentucky when he ran for
president and Goebel, whose cause he
espoused, was defeated by a greater ma
jority. An even greater one will be piled
up against Mr., Bryan if he is again the
nominee of his party. I voted for him at
the last presidential election"
Mr.. Rutherford appears to occupy a
somewhat anomalous position-a Demo-
crat and yet saying nothing good for his
party. He was at Lexington, about
twenty-eight miles away when Goebel
was killed al Frankfort He never saw
anything he says, that looked like an in
clpient civil war though one com
pany Of state troops passed through Lex
ington en- route TO Frankfort.

THEY WANT THE CONTEST.
Officers and Men Strongly Approve
of Col. Cams Plan.

Officers and men of the Savannah mill
tary freely discussed Col George r.
CAMS purpose 10 have a rife contest for
state troops during the coming summer,
provided the states support can be gain
ed. The unanimous opinion. so far as 1t
could be gathered, isIhat there should be
such contest, and the military trust Col.
Cam will be able to put his plan in exc
cution.
Col. A. r. Lawlon of the First Regiment
said yesterday that he approves of the
plan. He would like to see a contest held
believing it would tend to strengthen the
military spirit and aid in bringing the
troops up to a higher standard of prof.
cheney in craftsmanship and soldierly ef-
fciency. Col. Lawton believes the plan Is
thoroughly practicable, and sees no rea-
son why it should not be successfully car
ried out.
