Gas to Burn and Gas to Drink.

When natural gas is mentioned in
this country it is generally understood
to mean such as is found and used for
heating and manufacturing purposes
in our coal and petroleum regions.
In Europe, however. the only natural
gases known are the sulphuric gas
about the regions of Vesuvius and Act
ma, and the carbonic acid gas in the
extinct volcanic region along the Ger
man Rhine.
In order to become acquainted with
these various gases one has to visit
the districts in which they abound, ex-
cept in the case of the natural carbonic
acid gas with which millions all over
the globe are now acquainted, because
of the wide distribution of Apollinaris
water bottled at the Apollnaris
Spring. which is very rich in it's own
natural carbonic acid gas. Scientists
say that this natural gas, besides rem
dering the Apollinaris refreshing. pre-
serves it's purity. Germany is proud of
it's natural gas. and its text books on
watering places and springs make
much of its valuable region in the vi
entity of the Rhine.

MOVING TELEGRAPH OFFICE.
Transfer to New Quarters VIII BE
Made i'm January.

The work of transferring the Savan-
nah quarters of the Western Union
Telegraph Company from one portion
of the Sorrel Building, at Bull and
Bay streets, to another is progressing
under the direction of Mr.. c. L. Des-
combes, superintendent of construction
for the Third Division of the company.
A storage battery is to be established
in the basement of the building to re-
place the gravity system that has been
in use. The transfer of quarters, Mr..
Descombes said. cannot be completed
before the new year opens.
A lineman stood in midair yesterday,
lashing a cable to a messenger with
marlin. This was over Bay street, just
in front of the City Exchange. The
lineman was watched by many pass
ers-by, whose attention was arrested
by the novelty of the methods that
were followed. The man stood upon
a platform suspended from a cable.
The platform was but a board. scarce
ly more than large enough to afford
him standing room. 1t was steadied
by two guy ropes, held by men below.
The feat of working upon the wires
at such a dizzy hight with such slender
support appeared difficult, but the line
man seemed thoroughly at home.

WILL Be A FIGHT
ONE SEEMS TO BE FRAMING UP
OVER THE CITY BUDGET.
CUT IN CERTAIN ESTIMATES.
WILL NOT BE TAMELY SUBMITTED
TO by THE Committees.

Alderman Frank Ia Reported as the
Movant in Fight That Is Franz
ing Up for the support of the Es-
inmates of the Police and Fire
Departing binatiOns May he
Effected in the Hope of Carrying
Certain POints-"It Takes seven
Votes to Pave n street." Alderman
Frank Is Quoted as Saying-AIder-
men of the other Force, That
which Thinks Estimates Too
High. Do Not Seem Alarmed.
Smooth sailing, it seems, does not
await the Committee of the Whole OF
Council when it buckles down to the
task of fixing the appropriation for
each department of the city govern
ment for next year. Some of the al
dermanic committees show a disposi-
ton to fight for the estimates they
have made of their financial needs for
the conduct of their departments.
Alderman Frank has asked for $103,-
900 for the police department, an
amount that two or three of the alder
men have declared excessive. They
have said that there viii be a very
considerable cut in the Police Commit
tees es.ti1rate.- That this view is taken
by some of the aldermen has reached
Chairman Franks ears, and he does
not like it.
It was commonly talked at the City
Exchange yesterday that the chair
man OF the Police Committee purposes
making fight for his appropriation
He considers that his department needs
the amount that it has asked for. Ten
more men are needed, that being the
least number with which the depart
ment could get along, Alderman
Frank considers, and Alderman Hol-
land, a member of the committee, de-
clares that there should be thirty ad-
ditional men.
If the police and fire appropriations
are placed at figures below the esti-
mates, it will be after contest has
been made Alderman Frank is quot
ed as saying that 1T takes seven votes
to pave a street." a remark that is
taken to mean that the measures OF
the Streets and Lanes Committee will
be opposed by the forces that he might
be able to muster should the approprl-
alton he regards as absolutely neces-
sary for the proper protection of the
city be curtailed in favor of material
improvements.
The report that Alderman Frank
was mastering his forces for fight
for the police and fire appropriations
reached two members Of the Streets
and Lanes Committee, who seemed in
no wise alarmed. They began to fig
IRE out the situation and discovered
that they had majority that would
enable them to fix the budget of next
years expenses as they considered the
best interests of the city might de-
mand.
One member of the board, who con-
siders that the estimates of both the
police and fire departments expenses
are too high. when he heard that a
fight was being framed up, remarked:
''All right. let them fight. That's about
the only fun there is in politics, any
way. That's what 1 am in for"

TO SAVE A YOUNG GIRL.
Rescued From Sordid Atmosphere
by the Police.

ny Ahc HOAIce.
Lizzie Crosby. a 16-year- old country
girl, is a prisoner at the police sta
ton house, and superintendent Reilly
is making an effort to get her into
some charitable home. The girl was
arrested Tuesday in a house in the
southeastern section of the city, by
Mounted Patrolman Lang.
According to the police the youthful
female prisoner has been rapidly 60
ing from bad to worse. Her plunge into
a life of wantonness landed her deep
enough in the mire to attract the at
tention of the officers, and her arrest
followed, upon an order issued by Su-
perintendent Reilly. The girl had fire.
quented houses in the vicinity of Laurel
Grove Cemetery. and her almost total
depravity was reported to the super
intendent.
Not content with an ordinary life of
shame the young girl selected as her
associates men and women of the low
est class. Her condition was pitiable
when taken to the police station, and
she spent the greater part of the first
day in screaming. A physician was
summoned and the young woman is
now under his care. She is confined in
the large room on the second floor of
the station house, and was quieter
yesterday.
Supt Reilly has reported the girls
case to a lady who has taken charge
of such cases before. and the prisoner
will probably be transferred to a char
liable home to-day. There an effort
will be made to induce her to begin a
new life. The lady who has taken the
matter up, at the request of the SUI
perintendent of Police, hopes to re-
claim the girl. and after several years
in pure atmosphere, to send her out
into the world again-a better and
wiser woman.

LEAVE PROPERTY ALONE.
Judge Speer Grants Injunction i'm
Bankruptcy suit Now Pending.

Judge Speer Grants Injunction in
Bankruptcy Suit Now Pending.
Judge Emory Speer, in the United
States District Court, has granted an
injunction restraining the authorities
of the Superior Court of Lowndes coun-
ty from exercising further control over
the estate of J. NJ. Carroll, who has
just filed an application to be declared
a bankrupt.
In the application for discharge the
liabilities of the bankrupt are placed
at S2,032 IS and his assets at 81 ,992. So
The bankrupt claims property amount
ing in value to $457 as a homestead
exemption under the laws of the state.
Judge Speer has appointed j.. F.
Passmore, sheriff of Lowndes county,
receiver of the bankrupt estate, to take
charge and care for it until such time
as a trustee can be appointed at the
first meeting of the creditors. The
property of the estate has been in the
hands of the sheriff by virtue of a
mortgage foreclosure instituted in the
state courts, and it is for this reason
that the Injunction was asked of and
granted by Judge Speer.

RAN OVER A DUMMY.
Figure of Cotton Cut I'm Two by
Trolley Car.

A dummy figure placed on the
tracks of the Barnard street line, in
Chatham Square, gave the motorman
Of one of the cars a severe jolt a night
or two ago. The car passed over the
figure and cut it in two before the
car could be brought to a standstill
The figure had been SO arranged that
it could not be seen three feet away,
and was constructed so that there
would be no danger of derailing a car
A well filled car going south struck
the dummy and the rnotorman imnae-
diately reversed the current. He was
certain that he had killed a negro, and
with the conductor. and some halt
dozen passengers, went back to look
at the mangled remains.
The dummy was made of cotton and
the motormap was relieved to find
that no one had been killed. The fig.
ure had been constructed by several
young men who had attended the
weekly drill of one of the military
companies, and they figured that il
would be a hugh joke to brighten the
motorman almost out of his wits.

CRITICISED THE BATTLE.
Col. GOrdon's Comments on the
Event of Thanksgiving DAY.

Event of Thanksgiving Day.
Lieut.. Col. G. A. Gordon of the First
Infantry, who was in command at the
Battle of Harmons Range" which
took place on Thanksgiving Day, sew
eral of the local commands participat-
ing, has issued a memorandum for the
information and instruction of officers
and enlisted men of the regiment. The
memorandum, which offers criticisms
from which the commands may profit,
is as follows:
The following is issued for the infor-
nation and instruction of the officers
and enlisted men who took part in the
battle exercises of this date, and will
be distributed at the first assemblage
of the several companies, giving a
copy to each officer and enlisted man,
whether a participant in the exercises
or not.
Owing to lack of preparation for
these exercises. only the simplest
movements were attempted
(a). In the advance guard" the
support" and reserve" we're omitted.
and only the point" 'fiankers," and
main body were employed. The
point" and the ."fankers" failed to
exercise sufficient caution. Their duties
required tnem 10 De on the alert, and
to fall back on the main body as
soon as attacked by a superior force.
They failed to take cover when fired
upon, and delayed their retreat so long
that they might easily have been cap
tured.
Forming ''line Of squads" and deploy-
ing las skirmishers" were well execut-
ed considering the nature of the ground
and the lack OF instruction of both Off
GERS and enlisted men in the principles
of extended order" Ignorance of the
prescribed signals by bugle; by whistle
and by the arm interfered greatly with
the transmission of orders, and pre-
vented cooperation between various
parts of the extended line.
The fire discipline was poor. Firing
frequently continued after the signal
and command cease firing had been
given. Both the attacking and de-
Tending forces exposed themselves

MAY NOT BUY NOW.
Purchnsc of New Cemetery site
May Again he Held Up.

The meeting of the special commit
tee from the City Council appointed to
look into the matter of securing a site
for a new cemetery was not held yes
terday. The committee was not called
together. but Alderman Dixon, its
chairman, said that it will meet to-
day.
Five bids are in. Each will offer a
tract and name a price at which 1t
would be sold to the city. 1t remains
to be seen what the committee will
recommend.
1t is by no means improbable that
no action at all will be taken. In
quiry among the aldermen develops
that there is opposition to the pur-
chase of a tract at this time. The
aldermen are not inclined to have their
opinions quoted. but some think that
Laurel Grove Cemetery will do for
while longer, and that money could
be better utilized than putting it into
a new cemetery. There are improve
ments they think, that rather demand
attention.
One alderman said that the only
tract he would approve the purchase
of now is Bonaventure. He said that
he believed the company owning the
cemetery would sell willingly enough
as it had offered the property at the
time the last effort to put through
measure for a new cemetery was made.
He is in favor of buying Bonaventure,
but does not see the need just now.
One reason, said the alderman, that
is advanced for the purchase of a
tract at this time is, that it may be
put in order and set with trees be-
fore its use for burial purposes is be-
gun. If Bonaventure were bought,
he said, there would be the advantage
OF the improvements that have al
ready been made there, as they have
been made, he thinks the city could
wait before buying it. The Bonaven-
ture tract IS not large enough for a
city cemetery, he thinks, but there is
ground to either side that could be Sc
cured to increase its size. 1t is now
regarded as not improbable that the
special committee will recommend that
no purchase be made at this time.

CONDUCTOR Is BAD OFF.
KeIIy's Wounds Are stiII Regarded
rs Dangerous.

The case against j. d. Quisenby. the
trolley car conductor, who so badly
cut John E. Kelly, another conductor
residing at No. 90S West Broad street
was continued by Recorder Myrick in
Police Court yesterday. Kelly's con-
dition is still regarded as dangerous,
and the police refuse bail for Quisen-
by's appearance at preliminary hear
ing.
Kelly had high fever yesterday and
DR.. Stothart was solicitous about his
condition. The wounded mans head
was swollen to almost double it's nor
NAL size. and he suffers much pain
from the lacerated wounds. Kelly has
a chance for recovery and DR.. Stot-
hart has strong hopes for his patient,
unless blood poisoning sets in. The
knife used by Quisenby was dull one
and the wounds are ragged and ugly.
