AN AGREEMENT IN SIGHT.
Satisfactory Conference Held in
Union Depot Matter.

The Union Depot Committee of the City
Council met yesterday afternoon and
spent some time in conference with
Messrs w W Mackau and j. r. Ander-
son. representing the Union depot people
The conference appeared to be a very
pleasant one, and at its close. Mayor
Myers announced that very satisfactory
progress had been made, and that the
committee and the railroads were in "a
fair way to reach an agreement at an
early date.
In face" the Mayor said, IAN agree
ment has been practically reached already.
but there are some minor details TO be
considered, and the chief officials of some
of the railroads, who do not reside here,
viii have 10 be consulted. The commit
tee has dealt as generously with the rail-
roads as it felt that it could reasonably do,
maintaining a due regard for the citys
interests, and the representatives OF the
railroads, on their part. have shown
disposition to be very fair. Some of the
points for which the city contended, have
been yielded, and the railroads have made
certain concessions on their part.
The railroads have agreed TO pay the
price demanded by the city for the lands
west of Cemetery street which are de
sired for yard and warehouse purposes.
The lands in question consist of about
twelve acres at the intersection of Gwin-
nett and Cemetery streets. and about four
acres adjoining the crematory tract. The
price is $500 per acre. The Union depot
representative contended for a less price
and The argument was advanced that as
other railroads entering the city in recent
years have been made valuable gifts of
land. that the Southern Railway, which
has recently entered, was entitled to sim
liar consideration. The committee did not
view the matter in this light. however.
The concessions which the city had AL
ready agreed to were sufficient, the COM
mittee thought, and this requirement was
adhered to.

DAMAGE CASE WENT OVER.
Suit Against street Railway POST
poned Until Monday.

The case of Benjamin L. Jefferson,
against the Savannah Thunderboit and
Isle of Hope railway, the trial of which
began in the City Court on Thursday and
was to have been continued yesterday,
has gone over until Monday. The post
ponement was made at the request of Mr..
w. w. Osborne, leading counsel for the
defendant.
Jefferson was formerly a conductor in
the employ of the defendant and in charge
of one of it's cars running between Sa-
vannah and Thunderbolt. At late hour
one night in December, 1898, the car on
which he was returning 10 the city, was
run by the carlesness of the motorman, as
he alleges, into another car coming in the
opposite direction, and in the collision,
jefferson received serious injuries, some
of which he claims are permanent. He
asks fer $4,000 damages. He is being
represented in the case by Mr.. r. r.
Richards

MUST HAVE sEPAR ATE WIRES.
Electric Fans Must Not BE Installed
In Series.

Superintendent Mcguire of the fire de-
partment has published a notice to cleo
tricians to the effect that section 81 of
the National Electric Code will be strict
ly enforced on all new work. This ap-
plies to the installation of electric fans
No fans in series, the notice states, will
be permitted on 5O0-volt circuits, with the
exception of such as have been installed
previous 10 the notice.
The ordinance which was passed sew
eral months since constituting che Super
intendent of the fire department the
electric inspector for the city, adopted the
National Electric Code for the guidance
OF electricians in their work and hence
the reference to the code by the superin-
tendent
When asked about the matter yester-
day Superintendent Mcguire said that
the electricians have heretofore pursued
the plan Of installing series of fans on
the same set OF wires. This is contrary
TO the rules of the National Electric Code.
which is now in force in most OF the
larger cities. The series system is con-
sdered dangerous as likely to cause over
heating of the wires The superintendent
said that on all new work the electricians
will be required TO run a separate wire
into each building when installing cleo
trio fans just as is now done in INSTALL
Ing electric lights. In order not to work

FORGERY CHARGE DISMISSED.
| Prosecuting Witness Against Fl. BLU
menfeId Failed to Show Up.

FaIlcu 10 snow Up.
The case of H. Blumenfeld. charged by
P. Pulaski with forgery, was called in
the Recorders Court yesterday morning,
but the prosecuting witness failed 10 put
in an appearance, and the case was d s
missed.
This charge of forgery by Pulaski is
one of the developments of the scrap iron
deal in which Paul Jones sold to II. Blu
menfeld about three carloads of old iron,
which, since turns out to be the property
of the Morgan Lake Company
Blumenfeld and Pulaski were together
when the deal was made for TWO carloads,
and Blumenfeld being otherwise employ
ed later, gave Pulaski the money, ana in
structed him to buy the third load using
Pulaski merely as messenger and not
suspecting that he would make the pur-
chase in his own name. This Pulaski did,
however, or at least Blumenfeld 50 claims,
and had the car addressed to Savannah
in his name. / was through Blumenfeld
having taken posse ssion of this car, as
well as those sent in his name. that led
to the charge of forgery on the part Of
Pulaski.
Pulaski was in the city yesterday morn
ing during the session of the Recorders
Court The bail in trover proceedings
which the Morgan Lake Company has in
stituted in the Superior Court have not
yet been decided
Paul Jones, the third party to the deal
is still held in Jail subject to a warrant
returnable to a magistrate Of Liberty
county, where the iron deal took place.
1t is said that Jones is wanted for a Sc
rious crime committed in South Carolina,
and before the prisoner is turned over to
the sheriff of Liberty county, this rumor
will be investigated.

FAIR WILL OPEN MAY
Not Time Enough For Completion
of Arrangements Before Then.


The opening of the Masonic fair has
been postponed until May 7. This decision
was reached as the result Of the inability
of the workers to get everything in readi-
ness for an opening on April 16, as was
originally intended.
The building in the Park Extension was
practically completed yesterday and work
on the booths was begun. These will be
finished probably by tonight. The build
ing had been Intended to be 100 by 100
feet, but to this has been added space for
a number of rooms at the rear of the hall
the south; and on this additional space has
been built a kitchen and two toilet rooms
The dancing hall will not be in the center
of the building as at first was intended

stead.
