ARGUED CASE ALL DAY.
Big Damage Suit stn i'm Progress in
City Court.

All OF yesterday the arguments of coun-
sci in the case of Mrs. Annie l.. Finney
against the Savannah, Florida and West
ern Railway were in progress in the City
Court. The Arguments will be continued
and concluded to-day.
The morning session was consumed in
the arguments upon the law of the case.
which were made to Judge Norwood in
the absence OF the jury. Mr. w. L. Clay
argued the contentious of law made by
the defendant and Mr.. Pope Barrow made
the concluding argument upon the law
for the plaintiff. In the afternoon the ar
guments to the jury were begun.
As stated In yesterdays Morning News,
the principal point at issue is the legal
ity of the contract entered into between
the plaintiff and the defendant by which
she agreed to accept the death benefit
provided for by her husbands policy of
insurance in the Relief and Hospital De-
partment of the Plant System in full of
all claims against the defendant. This
death benefit amounted to $3.50 and was
paid Mrs. Finney. one of the conditions
OF payment was chat she should surren-
Ger any right of action for damages she
might have against the company.
Counsel for the plaintiff contend that
this agreement not to sue was totally
without consideration and was null and
void. They say that r. +. Finney, the
PLAINTIFFS husband, paid to the Relief and
Hospital Department while in life the full
value Of the insurance he carried and
that at his death the wife was entitled
TO receive the amount of this insurance
without conditions That she, should be
required to surrender a legal right was
without consideration and such an agree
ment cannot be enforced.
In answer to this contention the defend
ants says that there were two plans of
action, between which, under the law and
the terms of her husbands contract with
the Relief and Hospital department, she
mad right to elect. One was to accept
the death benefit provided for; the other
was to sue the company for damages for
her husbands death. The adoption of
one plan necessarily excluded the right
to adopt the other. Therefore, as Mrs
Finney has already received from the Re-
lief and Hospital Department the amount
OF the death benefit and in consideration
thereof has agreed not to sue the COM
pany, she has lost this latter right.
Mr.. Clay has virtually concluded his ar
guments to the jury on the facts of the
case, though it is possible that he will
add something this morning to what he
has already said. The concluding argu-
ment for the defendant will be made by
Mr.. Joe Hall of 3 BIB. His argument over,
Judge Norwood viii charge the jury.

CENTENARIAN IN CHATHAM.
Woman at Miller Station Says That
She is 1O2 Years Old.

Coroner j. G. Keller found an old negro
woman at Miller Station, yesterday, who
says that she is 102 years old, and has
not been from that place in five years
The woman is Celia Manigault, and she
was born in Darien, and has never been
in any counties other than Mcintosh and
Chatham. Celia is one of the old-time
negroes, and was owned by Mr. William
Bennett, who moved to Chatham county
before the Civil War. The old woman
says that she went to Miller station
years before the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railroad was constructed, and
remembers distinctly when the line was
being built, near where she lives. The
old woman has large family of grand
and great-grand children and is not as
infirm as would be imagined. DR.. KEEL
Ter says that the woman eau see a long
distance, and stated that she had never

TO OPEN BURROUGHS STREET.
IL Zoo steep Prices Are Not Demand
ed by Property Owners.

IL Too steep Prices Are Not Demand
ed by Property Owners.
The Council Committee on City Lots mas
an important measure under way. This
is the opening Of Burroughs street from
Anderson to Thirty-sixth Notices of the
desire of the city to open the street were
sent out yesterday by Chairman Thomas
of the committee TO the owners of the
property through which il is designed to
make the opening
Burroughs street has already been open-
ed from Thirty-sixth to Forty-second
street, but there is necessity for it's be-
ing opened from Anderson to Thirty
sixth. In the last Council the matter was
brought up, but 1T was not then deemed
feasible. for some reason, to open Bur
roughs between Anderson and Thirty
sixth streets. upon the same line. In
stead. the owners of property not meet
ing the city in, as liberal a spirit as was
desired, it was decided TO continue Bur
Toughs street south of Anderson by fol-
lowing an old roadway. An ordinance to
this effect was introduced and passed,
but the opening along the old road has
not been made, and Alderman Thomas
tinued- upon its present line, and with Its
present width of 60 feet, instead of 40
feet, as was designed for the old road.
Difficulty would be found in continuing
Burroughs street upon the plan enter
tained in the ordinance, as the road has
been so closed as to leave width of not
more than two feet at one place It is
thought the better plan to continue the
street upon the present line, as the in
terests of the property owners who have
been looking for its opening upon the
same line will be better conserved
straight street, too, is to be desired, rath-
er chan one with a twist.
Eighteen persons own the property the
city desires to acquire TO open the street.
They are asked 10 submit prices to the
chairman Of the committee, the amount
Of their land needed being specified. ap.
pfoximately, in the notices sent them. If
the property owners do not run up prices
IL is very probable that Burroughs street
Will be opened.

Been Given Their Notice.
Frank McDermott and T. J. Sheftall, in
spectors of the house drainage system, in
the office of the plumbing inspector, were
notified yesterday morning that their

the Offices will have to be abolished.
Whether the inspectors will be given
some other berth in the city government

lived that they will be left out in the
