HORSE WITH RABIES.

Bit IF. II. Quante Who Has Gone tn
baltimore for Pasteur Treatment.
Mr.. f. II. Quante left last night for
Baltimore, where he will take the Pas
teur treatment for rabies. Mr.. Quante
is a merchant at Thirteenth and Mont
gomery streets. Some days ago he
was bitten on the hand by horse,
which the following day died after dis
playing symptoms or rabies. DIR.
Jasme, who examined the horse, de-
cided that 1t had died of the rabies.
and advised Mr.. Quante to secure the
Pasteur treatment at once. The mat
ter was put off, however. until Wash
ington specialists could examine into
the matter. Yesterday a report was
received from them that the animal
undoubtedly died of rabies. They, too,
advised the Pasteur treatment for Mr..
Quante at once, and he started imme-
diately for Baltimore to carry out their
suggestion

teurs, who are glad to have the delica-
cies on hand for their customers, and
to many white and colored pot hunt
ers, who find some profit in shooting
and selling the birds. During the two
months or so the fiocks are to be found
about the rice and hay fields near Sa-
vannah, the industry of their pursuit
is Piled most assiduously, and the
prices obtained for the birds, IL they
We're all combined, would be astonish-
ing.
Mr.. Robert NJ. Hicks has secured his
first supply of the season. He says the
birds are about a week late this year.

FIRST MOTOR CYCLE.
Appeared on the Streets of savan-
nah Yesterday.

The first motor cycle has appeared in
Savannah. 1t was brought out by Mr..
r. V. Connerat, who gave the machine
a trial yesterday. 1t was ridden by
others during the day, and one of it's
riders came to grief in the southern
section of the city. The cycle seemed
to get out of whack in some way. The
rider did some tinkering, but was not
able to get it in running shape again.
He had to tow it back to the shop.
Considerable attention was attracted
to the machine as it sped over the
streets 1t has speed capacity of thir-
ty-five miles an hour, and all the rider
has to do is to sit steady and guide 1t.
He does not have to work his pedals
after three or four revolutions for a
start, which puts the motor in opera
ton. The cycle goes putting away at
a great rate, and ordinary wheelmen
attract little attention when the ma
chine is about.

OF the Savannah extension Mr.. Spen-
Ger says:
LAS indicated in the last annual re-
port, the Savannah extension of the
Carolina Midland Railway from Allen
dale. S. c.. to Hardeeville, S. c., 51.50
miles, has been constructed and was
opened for traffic on Dec. 10, 1900 doing
away with trackage over the Charles
ton and Western Carolina Railway,
3470 miles, and diminishing the track
age over the Plant System, 1880 miles,
thus shortening the distance from Co
lumbia, S. c., to Savannah, Ga, 1871
miles.
"Trackage rights are still awaited of
and have been made permanent over
the Plant System tracks from Hardee-
Vile to Central Junction, near Savan-
nah, a distance of 1873 miles, and a
contract has been made with the Cen
trail of Georgia Railway Company for
permanent trackage rights from Cen
trail Junction into the freight termi-
mails of that company in Savannah, 3.37
miles. Freight terminals in Savannah
have been leased in perpetuity from the
Central of Georgia Railway Company.
"At Central Junction connection will
be made with the tracks of the Savan,
nah Union Station Company in which
pany has a one-third ownership, with
perpetual right to use of the properties
for its passenger trains.
ut is now expected that the Savan-
nah Union Station will be ready for
occupancy next winter"
In his general remarks the presi-
dent says:
1.-THE property of the company was
considerably damaged and traffic more
IoIo
by foods, especially in North and South
Carolina and in Tennessee. The cost
of repairs on this account was, APP
proximately, $122,000.
con May 30, 1901. the machinists in
most of the company's shops, together
with a few apprentices and helpers,
struck on account of the company S
refusal to accept formal demands made
by the International Association of
Machinists,. through a committee OF
the company's employees, for a reduc-
ton of shop hours-from ten hours per
day to nine-without reduction of
wages; a prescribed limitation upon
the relative number of apprentices 10
be employed in each shop; certain
rules as to payment for overtime. and
other regulations as to the conduct
of shops. Many of the demands were
unreasonable in themselves and could
from this consideration, they were in
the form of an ultimatum, in writing,
with the frank avowal that they must
be granted as whole, or a strike
would ensue. The subject matter was
discussed by the companys officers,
with explanations that arbitrary rules
laid down by others could not be adopt
ed in the management of the COM
pany's affairs, and another conference
was offered in case the employees should
so desire, after examining the printed
report Of the proceedings of the meet
ing between the general manager and
the committee This was of no avail and
the misguided men struck. All OF them
are still out of the company's service.
