RUN OVER BY A TRAIN.
G. w. williams Was Found Lying
Near the CentraI's Track.

G. W. Williams, colored was run over
by a Central Railroad train yesterday
afternoon near the 14-mile post. He was
reported at a late hour last night as be-
ing scarcely likely to live until this morn
ing.
Williams was found by the crew of Cen
trail passenger train No. 10, known as the
dinner train" The train was coming in
from the points not far from Savannah
with which it affords communication
when the negro was found. The engineer
discovered the man lying near the track
and brought his train to a stand. Some
of the train crew raised the man up and
placed him in the baggage car, tying up
his wounds as best they could.
A leg and a hand had been cut off by
the wheels. and terrible injury had been
done Williams side. Upon the arrival of
the train at the depot the ambulance was
teephoned for and the man was driven
to the Georgia Infirmary. The crew of
No. 10 said that they believed Williams
had been "hoboing' it and had fallen from
between the cars of a freight train that
had passed the spot not long before. His
injuries were not such, they said as to
indicate that he had been struck by a
train while walking or lying on the track

~, Before Judge FaIIiEant.
Mr.. Frank e. Keilbach, appointed by
the County Commissioners Ordinary ad
interim, qualified and took oath of office
before Judge Falligant, in the Superior
Court, on yesterday. Mr.. Keilbach gave
bond in the required amount. with Mr..
b. II. Levy and Capt. ]. T. West as his
suretes.
Judge Keilbach Immediately appointed
Mr. Joseph Molina clerk of the Court of
Ordinary the position he has himself held
for fourteen years. Mr.. Molina has been
ten years in the Office OF the Ordinary
He qualified before Clerk James X. p.
Carr of the Superior Court.
Judge Keibachf began at once the dis
charge of the duties of the office and dur
ing the day large amount of business
was transacted. Matters had been delay
ed for the past several days because
there was no Ordinary of the county, and
those interested in this business kept
haunting the Office of Judge Keibach dur
ing the day and filed their applications.
As announced in yesterdays Morning
News. Judge Keilbach's commission as
Ordinary was issued and forwarded by
the Governor on thursday. II was re-
ceived yesterday morning. and as soon as
the bond could be prepared the new Or
binary appeared before Judge Falligant,
submitted the bond. which was accepted,
and took the oath of office.
The race for Ordinary seems to have
attracted some attention in Atlanta. The
following is from the Constitution:
There is much interest in the race for
Ordinary of Chatham county, which Of
fee was made vacant by the recent death
Of Hon. Hampton L. Ferrll. The election
will take place on Jan. % or 80. and in
the meantime Mr. +. e. Keilbach. former
clerk of the court is filling the office
Among the aspirants for the Office is Hon.
J. r. Saussy. former county attorney and
recently succeeded in that position by
Col. George r. Cam. Mr.. Saussy and
Judge Ferrill were the closest Of friends
One day in the Ordinary's office Mr.. Saus-
sys said:
Hampton. you've got the only Office in
the county. or the state for that matter
that Ia like TO have. l have always want
ed to be Ordinary of Chatham county, but
you are one man I would not run
against" And Judge Ferril REPLIED well
If | had to give the Office up I don't know
of any man I'd rather see have 1t than
you
Now MIR. Saussy will probably ask for
the votes of his fellow-citizens for that
position. There are three or four others
who will do the same thing.

WILL VOTE IN OPEN SESSION.
CANDIDATES LAYING FOR ALDER
MAN HAAS.

Election for City Omcers VIII Take
Place at 4 O'clock This Afternoon.
Administration Leaders Reported
to Have Made Number of
Changes in the SIate,-AIl of the
Elections for Contested Offices
Likely to BE CIose-The Chief In
terest an City AttOrneyshiD, and
Marshal, HarbOrmaster, Water
works superintendent and city
Dispensary Places.
1t was stated last night on fairly good
authority that some of the political
states had been smashed and that there
will be some surprises when the City
Council meets this afternoon for the pur-
pose of electing officers for the next two
years.
Just what the surprises will be is not
known of course, but It is safe to predict
that the long room in the City Exchange
will be crowded to the doors when the
aldermen take their seats at 4 O'Clock
That something has happened within the
last twenty-four hours there appears to
be no doubt, but just what officers or can
didates the change will affect cannot be
stated with any degree of certainty.
The leaders of the Administration faction
got in the game yesterday and were very
active. Wires were pulled on every hand
and in every conceivable way. making
the political atmosphere extremely hay
to those who are not on to the deals
made, or that are in contemplation. 1t Is
said that some of the candidates who
have not been considered leading here
tofore have played stunts that have
placed them in the front rank
1t would appear that more than one
fight depends upon the way Alderman
Haas votes and this is causing the poll
ticians much speculation. The alderman
has been on a Western and Northern trip
and is expected home this morning. It
was said last night that he may not
reach Savannah in time for the election.
"a politician who is considered TO be one
of the best-informed men in administra-
ton circles said that it would not be at
all wise to make any predictions and that
the situation is strained. 1t appeared that
the election will be very close in all
cases where there is any opposition.

lengthy petition indorsing the oandi-

of the City Dispensary was filed with
Clerk of Council Bailey yesterday. Mr..

bent.

ers. 1t is understood that the voting will
be in open session.

Celebration on Lees Birthday to BE
as Short as Possible.
The parade in honor of Gen. Robert f.
Lee next Saturday, Jan. 10, will be held in
the afternoon and will be made as brief
as possible to admit of all members of
the military getting off from their BUSH
ness for the event. Saturday is a busy

that there will not be as large a turnout
of the military as there would be were
the 18th falling on any other day than
Saturday.
Col. p. w. Meldrim of the First Cav
airy senior officer in the state service in
Savannah, will be in command of the
troops, as the parade is to be joint. all
branches participating. Ceremonies in
the Park Extension, save that of the
battalion passing in review before Col.

panies to get to their quarters and put
up their equipment as speedily as posi-
BILE.

GOES TO THE NEXT BOARD.
street Railway Ordinance VIII Not

street Railway Ordinance VIII Not
BE Passed by Present Council.
The new Board of Aldermen will have
to deal with the street railway franchise
ordinance read for the first time in the
meeting of Council last Wednesday night
Two members of the retiring board said
yesterday that it will not be possible for
the ordinance to be passed by this body,
as there is not to be another regular
meeting. The meeting this afternoon and
that on Jan. q will both be recess meet
ings, and, if there should be any objec-
ton from any member of the board, it
would not be possible to consider and pass
the ordinance Such objection, they said,
would be forthcoming.
Nothing will be gained, the opposition
to the franchise ordinance declares by
waiting until the next board has a chance
to consider the ordinance, for those who
favor Mr.. Lester in his petition for rights
and privileges, feel that the incoming al
dermen will not make him any more lib
eral concessions than the majority of the
present board is disposed to make.
The opposition in Council, however, does
not propose to allow Mr.. Lester to have
such franchise as they hold the ordi-
nance contemplates handed him by the
present board by the fundamentally of
some extraordinary action in the passage
of the ordinance at a recess meeting.
A conference is to be held by Aldermen
Mills. Tiedeman and Wells, as to what
should be done by the minority in Coun-
Gil that does not approve the ordinance
and the view it takes of MIR. Testers pc
tition. One of the Aldermen intimated
yesterday that some resolution relative to
the matter may be introduced though an
other declared 1t to be his belief that
nothing further can be done by the oppo-
sition TO the ordinance, and that it will
probably be passed. The three Aldermen
named have advocated granting more lib
eral concessions to the Vernon Shell Road
Company, represented by Mr.. Lester, than
the ordinance contemplates.

REVOKED HIS LICENSE.
Capt. ChadwiclS's Penalty for Intoxi-
cntiOn and Neglect of Duty.

cation and Neglect of Duty.
The license of w. II. Chadwick master
of the steamer Doretta, which went
ashore and was sunk in Ramshorn creek
on the night of Jan. g. was revoked yes
terday by United States Inspectors of
Steamboats, Lee and Fitzgerald The
grounds of the revocation are intoxication
while on duty and neglect of duty.
1t was proven to the satisfaction of the
inspectors that Chadwick was intoxicat-
ed on the trip from Savannah to Bluff
ton and that the loss of the steamer and
the endangerng of the lives of the pas
sengers was due largely. If not wholly. to
the irresponsible condition Of the master.
Capt Chadwick's license was suspend
ed a year ago for neglect of duty and
for this second offense his license has
been revoked and he is hereafter debar-
red from acting in any capacity as a
steamboat officer. The penalty is the Sc
verest that the inspectors could impose.

WAITING FOR A VICTIM.
Armed Negro Pnraded Plank Walk,
but Made His Escape.

but uSCapCs
II was reported at police headquarters
early yesterday morning that negro
armed with a gun of some description.
was acting suspiciously in the neighbour
hood of the Plank Walk, going to the
Plant System wharves. This spot has
been the scene of some daring highway
robberies. and Mounted Patrolmen T. ].
Terrell and Simon Kearney were hurried
to the place.
The officers carefully investigated the
case, but found that the negro had dsap-
peared, although they had lost no time in
reaching the walk. 1t seems that the
negro i'm some manner got wind of the
fact that the officers were coming, and
made good his escape. This Is the same
place where a Norwegian mate was as
saulted some weeks ago, and has been
the scene of numerous holdups of sea-
faring men. The police have had no re-
cent reports Of any robberies in this sec
tion of the city, however.

A QUESTION OF PROOF.
Manner of Showing Correctness of
Judgments Before Judge Speer.

Judge Speer began the hearing in the
case of Samuel w. Steinhard against Max
Lazarus and the Lazarus Jewelry Com
pany in the United States Circuit Court
yesterday morning. The case comes from
Macon and the parties at variance are
represented by Macon counsel
The effort is being made to subject the
assets of the Lazarus Jewelry Company
to the payment of judgments and exc
cutions obtained in former years against
Max Lazarus. These amount to about
sos, 900 and the suit is being strongly con-
tested.
The question of the correct method of
proving the judgments was the one be-
fore Judge Speer yesterday and there
was much argument, pro and con, on this
subject. No decision was rendered and
there will be further arguments when
court convenes this morning.
