FlGG WAS DISMISSED.
Nothing Resulted From His Charges
Against Kinsey.


Engineer ]. p. Figg of the water de-
partment was discharged by the Wa
ter Committee of the City Council yes
terday. a meeting of the committee
was held to consider a charge made
by Figg against superintendent 1. u.
Kinsey of the water department. Figg
claimed that Kinsey had called him a
ID liar" on a specific occasion, and
that he had cursed him at other times.
The committee did not think the
charges against the superintendent
were of sufficient moment to demand
that he be dealt with in any manner.
Such, however, was not the case with
Figg, for the committee decided to dis
charge the engineer. Mr.. Figg had abb
sented himself from his post without
permission last Sunday night, as told
by the Morning News yesterday, and
he did not seem inclined to bow to the
authority of the superintendent. He did
not seem disposed to recognize his SUI
perior at all, and it was for this rea-
son, as well as for his having absented
himself and having refused to submit
an excuse in writing. as directed to do
by the superintendent that he was
discharged.
A letter, notifying him of his dismiss
sal from the department, was directed
to Ffgg by the chairman of the Water
Committee, Alderman Bacon.

ABUSED HIS SICK WIFE.
Mrs. Hattie Washburn's story of I'm
happy Married Life.

Young and pretty, but with the deep
lines of worry on her face, Mrs Hat
tie L. Washburn told the story of an
unhappy married life from the witness
stand in the Superior Court yesterday
morning. She is suing her husband,
Robert Howard Washburn, for total
divorce, and asks that her maiden
name of Harriet L. Locke be restored
and that she be permitted to marry
again.
Her tale was one of hardships and
cruel wrongs, and the man who prom
ised at the altar to protect and sup
port her was not present to refute the
story told by the fair plaintiff. Mrs.
Washburn was timid about entering
court room and wept before she went
on the stand. At times her words were
inaudible. The jury heard enough to
convince it that the plaintiff is enti-
tied to what she asks, and a first YER
dict was returned.
The plaintiff married Washburn on
Sept. 16, 1896. and lived with him I'M
til May 30, 1899, when he deserted her.
she charges, and went to New Orleans.
Mrs. Washburn stated that Immediate
ly after her marriage her husband be-
gan to neglect and i'll treat her in a
cruel and shameful manner. He would
remain out all night and squander the
money that he should have used to
support her. She discovered that he
was gambling.
Because of his gaming proclivities
he was ruined financially, and she was
forced to follow him from boarding
house to boarding house. This she says
subjected her to great modification,
humiliation and shame. She declared
that money that she borrowed from
relatives he squandered in gambling
and other forms of dissipation. On
more than one occasion, she told the
jury, she had given him money to pur-
chase medicine, while she was sick in
bed, and he had used it at the gaming
table. After nights debauch he would
return home intoxicated and abuse and
curse her. There were no children by
the union and all that the plaintiff de-
sires is her maiden name.

RESERVE SQUAD RELIEVED.
Police No Longer Needed In street
Railway Strike

Railway Strike.
AS far as the city and the Savan-
nah, Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope
Railway Company are concerned. the
strike of the conductors and motor
men, which began on Saturday after
noon, is at and end. The strikers went
out threatening trouble and the police
were kept busy resting upon their arms
at headquarters until yesterday morn
ing.
The Morning News stated yesterday
that the strike had petered out, and
it had. The corporation handled large
crowds during the day and experienced
no difficulty. There were plenty of cars
and sufficient men to handle them The
colored military companies were car
ried to Lincoln Park without any trou-
bic and large crowds went to Thunder
bolt last night. The resort did not APP
pear to suffer any from the boycott in
augurated by the unions.
Many of the men who are on the
cars at this time are green, but Cen
eral Manager McIntire is of the opin-
ion that they will soon catch on. The
railway officials stated last night that
affairs are progressing nicely and that
the system is in working order The
union men are not saying a great deal
but claim that they are saving wood
They expect big results from their boy
colt, and hope in this way to get even
by making the company loose money
Some of the men have already started
making efforts to secure employment,
and no serious trouble is expected.

ARMED FOR STRIKERS.
NOn-UniOn Men Arrested for Carry
ing Concealed weapons.


Two non-union printers employed by
Braid & Hutton were arrested yester-
day and taken before Magistrate
Naughtin on charge of carrying con-
cealed weapons. The men left their
place of employment and claim that
party of strikers started towards
them. They made a motion to their
hip pockets and the union men called
upon the constable to arrest them.
The men admitted that they were
armed and declared that in the face of
the threats that had been made they
felt that they were justified in carry
ing weapons. A member of the firm
went to the magistrates office and
furnished bail for the appearance of
the non-union men.
IL was feared that there might be
further trouble. and telephone mes
sage was sent to police headquarters
for protection. Patrolmen Collins and
Lovett were sent to the office of the
justice of the peace and three of the
non-union men were escorted home.
Two of them lived on Oglethorpe ave-
nue., near Barnard street and the third
on Drayton and President streets.
Earlier in the afternoon Detectives
Stark. Murphy and Wall were kept on
duty in the neighborhood of Bryan and
Whitaker streets. The trouble occurred
after the departure of the officers.
On Tuesday night a non-union man
who came to the city to take a position
as printer was notified by the strikers
at his boarding house that he would
have to leave town by o'clock that
afternoon. He did not feel disposed to
obey the command, and consulted an
attorney who advised him to arm him.
self in case of trouble, and to continue
his work until he got good and ready to
quit. AS far as is known the printer
Is still working at the case.

DEAD BY THE TRACK.
Negro Laborer Fell From Car, but
Body Not Bruised.

| Body Not Bruised.
George Screven, a negro laborer, was
killed in some unaccountable manner at
Lang's Crossing, between the city and
Isle of Hope, yesterday. He fell from
a car of the Savannah, Thunderbolt
and Isle of Hope Railway Company and
was found dead near the track An ex-
animation of the remains by Coroner
Keller disclosed the fact that Screven's
body was not bruised and that his neck
was not broken, as was at first report
ed. There were no Commissions, and an
inquest will probably be held to deter
mine the cause of the mans death.
Screven left the city at noon on Con-
ductor Barbee's car. He sat on the
rear platform and had a crocus sack
winch he said contained a cat Near
Sandny Station the conductor went for
ward to talk to the motorman, and up
on his return Screven was missing The
sack and cat were on the platform, but
the negro was nowhere to be found. On
the trip back to the city the remains
were not discovered and not until the
return trip to Isle of Hope was the
body seen by the motorman near the
track.
The negro had not been drinking and
was perfectly sober when he boarded
the car with two women, who sat on
the seat with the motorman. Screven
was known as a hard worker and sell
dom took a drink. 1t may be that he
was stricken with apoplexy and fell
from the seat to the ground a corpse
Had he been asleep and fallen from
the car it is doubtful if he could have
wakened in time to have died from
fright. before striking the ground. The
Negroes death is somewhat of a mys-
terry and post norton examination may
be held

1T BECAME OF AGE.
COIOred Battalion Celebrated It's
Twenty-Hrst Birthday.


The First Battalion, Georgia State
Troops, colored, celebrated its twenty
first anniversary yesterday. A parade
was held in the morning, which was
participated in by the companies of the
battalion and the Lincoln Guards of
Macon, commanded by Capt. S. A.
Lockhart, and the Maceo Guards of
Augusta, commanded by Capt. L. E.
Mosely. During their stay in the city
the Lincoln Guards were the especial
guests of the Chatham Light Infantry,
while the Maceo Guards were cared for
by the Savannah Light Infantry.
Col. ]. H. Deveaux was in command
of the troops. The point of assembly
was the south side of Liberty street,
with the right resting on East Broad.
The commands assembled there at 10
O'Clock, fully armed and equipped.
Then, preceded by music, the column
moved through the principal streets. In
fact, there was music in the greatest
plenty, as the two local bands were
supplemented by the Capitaf%City Band
from Columbia.
Upon the conclusion of the parade,
the troops went to Lincoln Park, where
barbecue had been arranged. A
great crowd of colored people visited
the park, where a good time was en-
joged by them until late in the even
ing.
Low rates for the celebration were
given by the railroads, and the result
was that visitors were attracted from
many points. Special excursion trains
were run, and the Central Railroad
and the Seaboard Air Line were es-
pecially successful in bringing in
crowds. The Central brought /, 900 from
Macon, while the Seaboard brought
more than 1000 in all. That road had
700 from Columbia, 500 from Helena, 800
from Augusta, 800 from Denmark and
200 from Darien. The Southern brought
in some 200 from Columbia. Most of
the excursionists left last night for
their homes
