CRIMINAL CASES THIS WEEK.
Moses Savage to Be Tried Tomorrow
for Murder of Green.

This week, in the Superior Court. will
be devoted to the trial of criminal cases,
of which a large number are now ready
for disposition. On tomorrow will be
tried the case against Moses Savage, alias
Moses Small. who is charged with the
murder of Samuel Green.
The homicide occurred on Monday even
ing last, and the details of the crime are
yet fresh in the public memory. The cor
oners jury returned a verdict pronounc-
ing the crime murder, and the grand jury
indicted Savage for this offense. Green
was shot and fatally wounded in the troll
ley station near Benaventure Cemetery
and died at the Georgia Infirmary
on Wednesday morning.
For each other day during the week
criminal cases have been assigned for
trial, and it will be a busy period for
Judge Faligant and the court officers.
Solicitor General w. w. Osborne, who
has been enjoying a weeks end breathing
spell, will be back this morning in time
10 begin the conduct of cases when court
convenes.
It is not expected that any of the
cases made by the Law and Order League
for the trial of offenders against the
laws for the preservation of the Sabbath,
will be tried during this week, as other
and more important criminal business will
engross the attention of the court. Next
week, however, these cases may be taken

REILLY STILL LEADS.
That Is the General Belief and Hus-
sey Has Withdrawn.

Sey has N1tnurHNH.
Although the friends of Magistrate
Michael Naughtin and Mr.. Charles Gar
funke say that they are satisfied with
the police situation, il is still generally
believed that Lieut.. owen F. Reilly will
be elected superintendent Wednesday
night.
There has been no change in the situa-
ton in the last few days, and the pres
ent superintendent is thought to be sure
winner Magistrate Naughtin is consid-
cred the next strongest candidate and
his supporters say that his chance of VIC
tory is still bright
Mr.W. T. Hussey. who for some time was
an active candidate for the office, says
that he is no longer candidate. He
realizes that the tide has turned and that
Acting Superintendent Reilly is probably
the strongest candidate at this time.
In the event of the election of the act
ing superintendent il is stated that
Mounted Sergeant Walter Fleming will
be mode senior sergeant. VINO would be
promoted to sergeant in such an event is
only a matter of conjecture. Mounted Pa
troman Thomas c. Murphy would prob
ably be given three stripes in that event.
Murphy has been member of the de-
partment for many years is brave and
fearless officer and has splendid record.
He is familiar with the duties and has
acted both on the streets and desk on a
number of occasions.
Some of those allied with the admins
tration faction. who have not announced
their choice, insist that the office of su-
perintendent be given to party man.
Magistrate Naughtin's friends claim that
this feeling will strengthen this candidate
and that he will win out on Wednesday
night

THOMPSON STILL IN JAIL.
Alleged Bigamist Cannot Explain
Boston Marriage Certificate.

Boston Marriage Certificate.
William II. Thompson, the alleged biga-
mist, continues to assert that he is inno-
cent of the crime with which he is
charged, and says that he will prove his
story when the case is called for trial.
A marriage certificate was sent to Sa-
vannah by the young woman who says
that she is Mrs. Thompson No 1, and this
document was before the grand jury FRI
day afternoon, when true bill was re-
turned Thompson does not attempt to
explain how the license was obtained and
reiterates that IL he was married 1t was
in Everett when ne was under the III
fiuence of wine.
Thompson admits that he was engaged
10 a Savannah lady before he married
Miss Leach and that the engagement
was broken because she had been inform
ed that he had wife in Boston. He says
that he denied the charge to her at that
time, and that she stated that she be-
leved him innocent. Her parents, he
says, would not believe him, and the en-
gagement was broken
The young man says he drank the wine
in Everett only a few hours after he
was released from Jail on bail and not
several days later.
The Savannah Mrs Thompson has been
to visit her husband since his incarcera-
tion, and so have several of his friends.
He has retained Robert l.. Colding, Esq,
to defend him.
The woman who says that she Is
Thompson's first and lawful wife, will
probably be in Savannah this week, and
the case will be tried at an early date.
The prisoner is apparently anxious for a
hearing.

WILL RUN BEYOND MAY |
House Drainage Work Cannot Be
Completed by That Time.


Completed by That Time.
The house drainage work will not be
completed by May 1, and it is probable
that special dispensation will have to
be secured to admit of it's conclusion
without a long interval until next win
ter, when it will again be lawful to up
turn the soil of the streets of the city.
Mr.. George NJ. Gadsden, director of pub
lie works. says that the progress the
house drainage operations have made
does not indicate that the work will be
finished by May /. 1t was expected
that such would be the case, but calcu-
lations have pot thus far proven correct,
and operations will extend some days be-
yond May l.
1t is probable that the City Council will
have to pass a resolution, especially per-
hitting the work to proceed. Ii is de-
sired that it be finished without having
it remain over until next winter. and ID is
not believed that objection TO the sus-
pension of the ordnance against upturn-
ing the streets during certain months
will develop in the case of the house
drainage work.
Three gangs are now at work on the
house drainage main lines. They are
operating at Huntington and West Broad
streets and at Tattnall and Jones streets,
these lines being combinations of the
CASTOR street main, and at Forty-second
and Whitaker streets. the last being
continuation of the East Broad street main.
Lateral gangs are working at the inter-
section of Whitaker street and Gordon
street lane and at Wilson and Stewart
streets.

Mr. Boyer Discusses English Instru-
ment for Making Them.

An item appeared in Fridays Morning
News giving a short description of what
purported to be an ingenious meteorolog-
ical instrument invented by a man in
England whereby the velocity and direc-
tion of the wind may be accurately regis
tered by means of electricity.
The item was shown Mr.. H. B. Boyer,
local forecast official, who read it with
much amusement and surprise and laugh
ingly called the attention of the Morning
News representative to an instrument in
his Office called the meteorograph. This
is quite handsome instrument Enclosed
in glass case, the dimensions of which
are 20 by by inches, and with this
before us Mr.. Boyer said: "Our British
cousin across the pond is sadly behind
the times both as regards his invention,
and his estimate of the ingenuity of the
Yankee when he hazards the statement
that the records shown by means of
Mr.. Lowne's 0he inventory instrument
cannot be obtained by means of any
other apparatus in existence.
Why" continued Mr.. Boyer, this in
strument on the stand before us, the
meteorograph, has been used by us for
ten years at the least, and it performs
all the functions claimed by Mr. Lowne
for his instrument, and more. This Eng
lishman states that his invention is an
adaptation of vane and thermometer COM
bined, by means of which an automatic
record is made, the indicating instrument
being connected by electric wires with
the vane and thermometer So it is with
the meteorgraph. He also says that the
direction of the wind is continuously
shown by a pencil line and the changes
to eight points on the compass and their
duration are recorded. So does our me-
teorograph.
HE further says that a second pencil
indicates the miles of wind velocity, and
the maximum velocity, and when it oc-
ours; that everything is perfectly auto
matte in action and the battery power
required is very small; that it will be
quite possible to get accurate records
at a central station of the direction and
velocity of the wind from any distant
point by means of electric wires connect
ing the recording instruments with the
vanes and thermometers wherever they
may happen to be stationed.
"Our meteorograph covers all these
claims, and more. When 1 assert that
an instrument is superior by far to this
alleged ingenious British invention,
mean that in addition to the recording of
the winds direction and velocity, our
meteorograph makes a continuous record
of the sunshine also the rainfall to the
hundreth part of an inch.
THE instruments differ in that Mr.
Lowne obtains a record on a paper rib
bon by means of pencils, whereas we get
an ink record on a sheet of paper which
encircles a revolving cylinder. 1t is APP
parent that these differences are likewise
in our favor"

SHOE DRUMMER ARRESTED.
sheriff Wanted 10 Take Joseph Kas-
sewItz to TcIfair County.


sewItH to TcIfair County.
Judge Falligant will have an interesting
habeas corpus hearing in the Superior
Court this morning. Sheriff j. D. Stew
art will endeavor to show the court why
he should be permitted to carry Joseph
Kassewitz to Telfair county to answer
an indictment for larceny after trust.
Kassewitz is employed by NJ. wilensky
as travelling salesman, and took an or
der for s. worth of shoes from a party
at Helena, in Telfair county. The pur-
chaser became restless when the shoes
were not received promptly and APP
peared before the grand jury of that
county and had Kassewitz indicted.
Thursday Superintendent of Police
Reilly received a telegram from the sher-
if asking that kassewitz be arrested. No
charge was named in the telegram and
the superintendent would not make an ar
rest on Information so indefinite.
Sheriff Stewart came to Savannah him
self late Saturday night and arrested
Kassewitz on a bench warrant. The
drummer wouldn't stand for this. and Sc
cured the services of George w. owens.
Esq. A rather lengthy conference be-
tween the sheriff, Kassewitz Mr.. When
sky and Attorney Owens was held at po-
lice headquarters after which Judge Fall
ligants residence was visited. A writ OF
habeas corpus was obtained and made re-
turnable for this morning. Mr.. Wilensky
signed a 500 bond that he would produce
Kassewitz in court, and the sheriff re-
turned home, but will be present at the
hearing this morning.
Kassewitz says that he took the order
and money for the shoes, and that he
sent both to Mr. Wilensky. The propri-
tor of the shoe store says that both
money and order reached him. but that
there has been some delay in filling the
order. The statement from Mr.. When
sky that he had received the money lid
not relieve Kassewitz in the eyes OF the
sheriff.
