RumOrs of Conferences Held Over

RumOrs of Conferences Held Over
New Franchise.
Mr.. ]. H. Fall of Nashville, first vice
president of the Savannah, Thunder
bolt and Isle of Hope Railway Compa-
ny, arrived in the city yesterday and
registered at the De Soto. 1t was
whispered that Mr.. Falls presence is
due to the fact that the city has a
street railway franchise for sale, and
that its purchase by some one who
would represent and sell out to the
present company. would be a big thing
for the Parsons interests.
Mr.. Fall stated to a representative
of the Morning News, that there is no
significance in his presence in Savan-
nah at this time. He will be in the
city for day or two, he said, during
which time he will go over the system
with General Manager McIntire. Mr..
Fall said that there is nothing to give
out, and that he had come to Savannah
on no special mission. He was in con-
ference with General Manager McIntire
during the day, but that officer de-
clared that nothing special was on
foot.
Mr.. G. E. Trip of Boston also reg
istered at the De Soto, and was in
conversation with Mr.. McIntire dur
ing the day. The general manager
dined with Mr.. Fall last night, and the
street railway situation in Savannah
at this time was discussed. Mr. Nc
Intire is preparing for the winter trav-
ell, and expects six new winter cars
very shortly. They will be vestibuled,
and have a seating capacity of between
40 and so. The cars will be on double
trucks and will be modern in every
way. Four of the small closed cars
now in use have been sold to the street
railway company in Jacksonville, and
the new cars will replace the ones dis
posed of. Mr.. McIntire will arrange
for evening entertainments at the Ca
sino at Thunderbolt during the winter.
just as soon as the new winter cars
arrive. Vice President Fall will go
over the system with Mr.. McIntire to-
day,

THE CITY COURT BILL.
Hon. Pope Barrow Says II Will Save
Money TO Tax Payers.


Money to Tax Payers.
Hon. Pope Barrow says the bill to be
introduced in the Legislature, provid-
ing for two branches of the City Court
will save money to the tax payers, if
it passes.
Yes, 1 say that,and I repeat it," said
Mr.. Barrow yesterday. Il looked into the
bill carefully at the time the notice first
appeared and became satisfied that the
establishment of a separate criminal
ferent judge. is a measure of economy.
1t can be demonstrated that the ex-
penses of the two courts will be less
than those of one. AS a tax payer l
was interested in the matter as we'll
as practicing lawyer. AS a tax pay
err, l was called upon 10 look into 1t
closely. 1t happens that I am so sit
uated. as executor, as to compel me to
watch closely the question of taxation.
After thorough examination, l became
| convinced that Mr.. Hitch's bill will
tighten the burdens of all tax payers
Why is it necessary to have two
judges?" Mr.. Barrow was asked.
Simply because one cannot attend to
both. That is where the shoe pinches
now. You are trying to make one man
do two things which causes him to lay
down one while he is attending to the
other, which piles up expenses. There
is no use trying to get the work OF
both the criminal and the civil business
out of any one man economically ana
expeditiously. The judge of the civil
branch ought to have the whole week
for the civil business. He cannot do 1t
if he is trying the criminals. No man
can do it. The thing is an impossible
ity and you may change judges as Of
ten as you please and each one will
find that it is out of his power TO con-
duct the civil branch of the court
economically and speedily if he has to
lay it down and stop everything to 90
off and try criminals.
Besides, you must remember that
there are over 10000 people in Savan-
nah, not counting the population Oh
Chatham county outside of the CITY
The present machinery of the City
| Court was started when there were not
| 1000 people here. You might as we'll
undertake to make a grown man wear
the little breaches that fitted him when
| he was a 10-year-old boy. as to make
a City Court, adapted to $4,000 or 10000
| people answer for $4,000 or 10000 There
was more criminal business transacted
| last month in the City Court of Savan-
nah than there was in a year when the
court was first established.
ANY man who has any taxes to pay,
if he investigates the question, will
| find that he is making a mistake in
| opposing Mr.. Hitch's bill. OF course,
the bill does not affect the present
| judge or solicitor. 1t ought not to. They
are not responsible for the system they
are trying to carry out. The emolu
ments of their offices ought not to be
| changed or affected in any way, in my
judgment, during the term for which
they Were last elected or appointed."

Edmund Golden. the Sand Fly negro,
who surrendered to the police for shoot
ing a robber on the Louisville road,
was released yesterday by Supt. Reil-
ly. The highwayman that Golden says
he shot could not be found by the po-
lice, and the officers do not expect that
he will appear.
If the bullet hit the mark the man
must only be slightly wounded. If the
wound had been a serious one he would
have been forced to have secured the
services of a physician, and the fact
would have been made known to the
police. Golden still insists that he shot
one of the three robbers. and the police
have his address so that he can be
found in the event that dead negro,
in female attire, is found anywhere on
the Louisville road.

Poor Jack Kurtz worked nineteen

World dispatch from Grand Encamp-
ment, Wyo., the scene of the story.
Kurtz was a blacksmith who made Il
scant living at his forge in Rawlins.
One day, while wandering about, he
found bits of copper ore thickly strewl
owe the mountain side. Investigation
convinced him that a great vein of ore
lay beneath the surface. The black
smith closed his shop, and with pick
and dynamite began to tunnel at the
base of the mountain near Copper
Creek.
This was nineteen years ago. Kurtz
was in the prime of life, strong and en-
thusisastic. Doggedly lie hewed his
way through rock and quartz. His
friends laughed at him. The years
passed and with them came gray hair.
q bent form and a hard and wrinkled
skin. But hopes grew brighter, for
every day the tunnel was forced a lit
tie further into the mountain.
Kurtz worked on heroically until the
tunnel was 1900 feet long. But the
hard work and the exposure at last
brought on a violent attack of pneu-
monia. Jack Kurtz died.
Kurtz had scarcely passed away
when a party of Eastern CAPITALISTS
sent trained men to examine the noun
tains near his tunnel. A wonderful
discovery was made. Less than two
feet Of rock separated Kurtz's tunnel
from a massive vein of copper and gold
ore.
Two days more work by the old
miner would have revealed to him. the
promised find. Further examination
brought to light the fact that Kurtz's
tunnel paralleled the vein of ore for
200 feet. The old miner had worked
for two years in n line parallel with
the rich ore. Had he turned his pick
to the left untold wealth would have
been his.

Just before the battle of Trafalgar a
mail was sent from the English feet to.
England, and word was passed that 1t
might be the last chance to write before
the expected battle. The letters had
been collected from ships, the letter
bags were on the vessel which was to
take them, and she had got some dis
lance under way, under full sail, when
Lord Nelson saw a midshipman come
up and speak to Pasco. the signal Off.
Ger, who, upon hearing what he said,
stamped his foot in evident vexation,
and uttered an exclamation. The ad-
niral called Pasco, and asked what was
the matter. Nothing which need
trouble your lordship," was the reply.
you are not the man to lose your tenn
per for nothing" rejoined Nelson,
What was it?" well, IL you must
know. my lord, l will tell you. You
see that coaswain?" pointing to one of
the most active of the petty officers.
I'VE have not a better man on the Wet
DRY, and the message which put me out
was this. I was told that lie was so
bussy receiving and getting off his mail
bags that he forgot to put his WI letter
to his wife into one OF them; and he
has just discovered it in his pocket"
Hoist a signal to bring her back"
was Nelson's instant command. 'Who
knows that he may not fall in action to-
morrow? His letter shall go with the
rest" And the dispatch vessel was
brought back for that alone.
Capt. Mahan tells this charming
story on the authority of the son of
Lient. Pasco, who used to say that it
was 10 wonder that the sailors idolized
Nelson. who was always thinking of
them.-Edward Everett Hale.
