RACE TROUBLE ENDED.
Wounded Negro Brought Here from
Liberty City.

A telegram last night from Liberty
City, where there was trouble between
the races Saturday, reports every
more shooting. No trace has been
found of the negro who is alleged to
have shot Thomas Chapman from am
bush.
DR.. w. E. Miller of Walthourville, ar
rived in the city yesterday with Isaac
Robertson. one of the three negroes
shot by the whites. While Robertson
is badly wounded his condition is not
dangerous. He was taken to the Geor-
gia Infirmary in the police ambulance,
but later in the day was removed to
the Charity Hospital. where an opera
ton was performed by Dr. Miller and
DR.. G. L. Harmon. The wounded man
suffered a great deal of pain, but was
able to give his version of the trouble
The negro had a close call, and claims
that he was shot without the slightest
proVocation. He states that he was
on his way home with some groceries
when he was fred upon by a crowd.
He could not tell whether his assail-
ants We're white or black, and says
that he has no idea why he was shot.
Robertson's hat was perforated, and
several of the balls took hair off his
head. One bullet entered the left leg,
and several found refuge in his right
arm, badly splintering the bone. In the
neighborhood of fifty small pieces of
bone were removed from the negros
arm by the physicians, and it is doubt
full if he will have full use of it again.
Dr. Miller said that from what he
could learn Robertson was shot with
out cause, and by persons laboring un-
der intense excitement. The physician
was informed that Chapman, who is
bridge apprentice, was walking along
entered the thigh and from the loca-
ton of the wound, DR.. Millet saws It
must have been fired into the ground
and glanced upward. The water tank
where Chapman was shot is a partic-
ularly dark spot. and DR.. Miller says
Chapman was unable to state who
fired the shot.
1t may have been accidentally fired
and may have been from the pistol of
a white or black man. The shooting
stirred up the residents of Liberty
City, and DR.. Miller says that imme-
diately they went cunning The shoot
ing of Robertson, of negro woman
and of a boy was the result of the
search for the unknown individual who
shot Chapman. DR.. Miller said that
some of those around the station ap-
peared to be excited when he left. The
Plant System stopped No. 80 at Lib
erty City so that Robertson could be
brought to Savannah for treatment.
Dr. Miller returned to WaIthourville
and left Robertson in the hands of DIR.
Harmon.

FIRE ENGINES DAMAGED.
One Broke Down and the other in O
Collision.


The engine from fire station No.

and Duffy streets Saturday night and
was temporarily put out of business.
One of the horses was badly hurt, the
car window was broken, and the en-
gine pole was snapped
The engine from No. station was
broken at the fire, which destroyed
the Savannah Basket and Box Works,
and is out of service. 1t was found
that the machinery that went wrong
could not be repaired Immediately, and
superintendent Mcguire ordered the
engine from the No. station, on JEFF

to No. station The engine at the
station on Thirty eighth street has
not been in service since the house was
built, and Superintendent Mcguire
thought it best to put it in place at
station no. until the necessary re-
pairs could be made on that engine.
Driver John Lady left the Thirty
eighth street station and went south
on Jefferson street. The horses were
going at a trot when a car crossed
Jefferson street, going east on Duffy.

the Steamship GIenwoOd.

StOwaway Carried or in Hold OF
the Steamship GIenwoOd.
The Portuguese bumboat man who
was abducted from the British steam
ship Glenwood, and who was handled
by several sailor runners, was trans
ferred from the police station house
to the vessel yesterday. The stow
away was placed in irons and put in
the hold of the steamer.
He will be released when the Glen
wood gets on the high seas, and will
then be put to work. The Portuguese
has given the master of the steamship
no end of trouble, and it is not prob
able that he will have a very easy
time of it on his voyage out of the
United States.
The captain of the boat was re-
quired to furnish $1,000 bond in Char
lesion and was greatly disturbed when
the stowaway was stolen in this city.
But for the arrest of the Portuguese
by Detective Wall, in an East Side
dive, the master of the vessel would
have been compelled to pay the gov
eminent the sum named in the bond,
which was given to guarantee that the
bunIboat man would be taken out of
this country.

Members of Board Would Not

the Case.
The great pneumatic aerial torpedo
gun upon which work was in progress
for eleven months, was tested day be-
fore yesterday at Hilton Head. Mount
ed upon the north end of the island,
the gun occupies a position that makes
the entrance to Port Royal harbor Sc

strength has been supplemented by
that of batteries of rified guns and
mortars that are expected to be es

Though the officers of the board that
conducted the test would not discuss
it, it seemed clear enough to those
who obssrevd IT that it was d success
and that the requirements of the gov
eminent had been met. If such should
prove the case, the government will
pay the Pneumatic Torpedo and Con-

ter for which has been asked of the

and as the combined capital stock and
bonded Indebtedness of the Savannah.

a considerable margin for improve

two companies that are to go out of

IL Is not improbable that the use of
oil as fuel will be among the innoya-
tons made by the new company. 1t
is regarded as probable that the plants
for all purposes will be consolidated,
and that large amount of new and
powerful machinery will be installed.
If this is done the furnaces will be so
constructed that oil may be used as
fuel.
Mr.. Baldwin said that he had little
doubt that this will be done A plan
to purchase an oil well in Texas and
a tank vessel to bring the product to
savannah, has already been under con-
sideration, and this plan may vet be
carried out. The difficulty in the wav

the only thing that would stand in the
way or our use of oil as fuel. The oil
wells of Texas are producing petro-
ieum steadily, and rapidly, but it is
accommodating on the ground. 1t has
not been possible to move it at a price
that makes its use as fuel profitable,
save at points comparatively close to
the point of production.
Tank vessels afford the only means
OF cheap transportation-to ship the
OIL by rail or by water In casks or bar
rels is neither cheap nor satisfactory
The trouble about the matter is that
Tor cc2Stwise traffic only American
ships can be used and that all the
American tank vessels now afioat or
building belong to the Standard Oil
Company. That company is not likely
to charter it's vessels to carry oil from
the Texas fields to ports i'm other parts
or the country. To build such YES
sells year or two will be required"
1t may be safely prophesied that if
the Savannah Electric Company wants
to use oil as fuel il will succeed in sur
mounting the minor obstacles that
stand in the way. lis controlling spir-
its have surmounted greater obstacles
in other directions and the question
of transportation will not be suffered to
spell failure. 1t may be some little
time before oil will be used but the
time will come.
Mr.. G. o. Nagle of Chicago, who is
connected with the Edison concern, IS
in the city, stopping at the De Soto.
Efforts to find him yesterday were of
