WOULD GIVE A STREET.
Seaboard bridge Would Cross River
From "A street End.

The Seaboard Air Line can get one
of the north and south streets for Its
bridge over the Savannah river. Acting
Mayor Dixon said yesterday that the
city would probably interpOse no OBJ
lection, but would gladly meet the Sea-
board in a proposition to bridge the
river. Whitaker. Barnard or some 9TH
er street desired would be given the
road for the construction of its bridge,
provided that. in case it were needed,
condemnation was secured from the
Legislature.
Some talk has been heard of the Sea-
board being engaged in a pahey with
owners of Bay street property, the et-
fort of the road being to obtain a land
ing on the city side of the river In
quiTies developed that such was not the
case. An advance had been made to
representatives of the company by the
agent of one piece of property, but
there was scarcely a discussion. The
company evidently believes that no diff
ficulty would be found in securing from
the city the right to make the bridge
a continuation of one of the north-and-
south streets.
The Seaboard is still busy with its
D1lQRe project. / ne Cost Is DtluB h6
ured out to a basis that ii is thought
the company will be able to stand. The
first plans drawn ran the cost bit
higher than was desired, but modifica-
tons and changes, one of them being
the commencement of the slant on the
northern side near the middle of the
bridge, have been made and the esti-
mate has been lowered.
With the bridge constructed as con-
tinuatiOn of Whitaker or Barnard
street, for instance, there is no reason
why property values in the immediate
neighborhood should not be enhanced.
Traffic across the bridge, because of the
establishment of the Seaboard's ter
minals, would be considerable. Year
by year 1T would be on the increase, too,
for the island has been reclaimed by
the company from overflow, and It is
expected that there will eventually be
many manufacturing enterprises start
ed there. Traffic on River street could
be operated just as at present, passing
under the bridge, which would be high
enough, with room to spare, for the
passage of locomotives and cars. 1t
would be an easy matter for the COM
pany to acquire the dock rights needed.
Small boats could be locked beneath
the bridge.

PLEA SAVED HIS NECK.
Joe Spnnn Acknowledged Himself
Guilty of MansIaughter.

OuINN OI
Joe Spann. indicted by the grand
jury for the wilful and malicious muir
der of RAMA Matthews, was arraigned
for that crime in the Superior Court
yesterday morning. He entered plea
of guilty of voluntary manslaughter,
and this being accepted by the solicitor
general, Judge Falligant sentenced the
defendant to serve twenty years in the
penitentiary. the full punishment for
the grade of homicide of which he ac-
knowledged himself guilty.
The evidence of the states witnesses,
as ii was given to the coroner at the
inquest, showed the homicide to have
been a peculiarly cruel and causeless
murder. The fatal shot was fired on
May 10. There had been some quarrel
between Spann and Matthews, but the
two men had separated and Matthews
was standing on the stoop of his house
on Lumber street. Spann came up
with pistol in his hand and. without
a word being spoken by either party,
he fired the first shot.
1t missed its intended victim and
Matthews turned and ran into the
house. Spann ran to the window and
fired three other shots, and one of
these took effect in Matthews breast.
1t was not Immediately fatal, and the
man fingered at the Georgia Infirma-
ry, where he was carried, for nearly
six weeks before he died.
Spann was defended by Mr.. w. F.
Slater, and good sense on the part of
both counsel and client dictated the
plea of guilty of voluntary manslaught-
err. Had the case gone to trial there is
but little doubt that the verdict would
have been that of guilty OF murder,
without recommendation to mercy
and that Spann's neck would have paid
the penalty of his crime.

LAWYERS FOUGHT IN COURT.
MIR. ID. c. Barrow struck MIR. w. Il.
Slater in the Month.

Mr.. David c. Barrow and Mr.. Will
liam f. Slater became involved in a
difficulty in Magistrate G. Noble
Jones court, on Bryan street yester-
day afternoon, and Mr.. Slater received
a blow in the mouth that brought
blood. The little finger Of Mr.. Barrow's
right hand was sprained by the blow
he gave.
The trouble occurred during the hear
ing of the case of DR.. Randolph S. Ke-
nan against John Hillyard and Mrs.
A. e. Hnlyard. MIR. Barrow was coun-
sci for the plaintiff and Mr.. Slater ap-
peared for the defendants. Mr. Barrow
was questioning a witness, when Mr..
Slater offered an objection. He said
that a statement was made in the
question that was untrue. and that
Mr.. Barrow knew that II was untrue.
Mr.. Barrow called Mr.. Slater liar
and counsel for the defense passed a
blow at his fellow attorney.
The blow fell short of its mark and
counsel for the plaintiff struck back
with much force, landing on Mr.. Sla-
ter's mouth. Magistrate Jones raped
for order. and announced that the at
torneys were in contempt. Mr.. slater
said that he would apologize To the
court for his conduct Mr.. Barrow
said that ne realized that he had been
guilty Of contempt but that he would
permit no man 10 call him liar unno-
ticed. and that he WAS ready 10 abide
by his action. There was no further
trouble and the case continued.
Dr. Kennn was suing for SIS which
he alleged had been borrowed from
hin. by the defendants. a. the first
hearing Of the case Judgment in favor
OF the plaintiff was rendered by JUS
tico Jones. The hearing yesterday was
before jury and q verdict for the
plaintiff was returned. The scrap be-
tween the lawyers attracted c0nsldera-
bic attention, and WAS the talk " the
streets.
