POLICE COURT DoINGs
Caught Looking in Windows an
 Fined $10 and Costs.

Caught Looking in Windows and
 Fined $10 and Costs.
 For some time residents on South Main and Clay streets have been an- noyed by the silly actions Of some man whom they dubbed '.the peeper." He appeared to have great enjoyment in opening shutters and peeping at the windows evenings. Various traps were laid to catch the fellow, but all failed Early Sunday morning the Campbell family. living at 33 West Clay street, was disturbed by seeing face at their dining room window Jennie Campbell and her sister Sadie were counting the fire alarm when they saw the face, and immediately they raised an outcry Their brother Patrick was getting into his clothes to get out and see the fire, and upon hearing his sis ters' oltcry ran to where they were sitting. He then saw the face at the window and afterwards saw the man pass around to other windows and try to open them. Officer Brickel ap- peared about that time and took the fellow into custody. He said his name was Michael McEvoy and his residence l9S Mill street. In the city court this morning he told Judge Burpee he merely went on the veranda of the Campbell house to get out of the rain. He was fined $10 and costs. This is the second time McEvoy has been ar rested for this offense.
 John ). Neville was charged with intoxication. Sentence was suspended on account of his good record.
 Joseph Mcdonald walked all the way from New Haven to this city Saturday to get work in the acid factory in South Brooklyn. He had been in town only twenty minutes when he got a dancing jag on. He was found danc- ing on tue curb on South Main street late Saturday night by Officer Brickel The officer would not have interfered with the man had he been half ways decent in a two step. He challenged the officer to q breakdown, and when the officer bade him go home McDon- ald said he would let It go at n horn pipe. Any one who knows Officer Brickel is aware that he was never built for dancing. Nevertheless he took up McDonald's s challenge and thus danced him to the station house. Me Donald danced ill court today to the tune of $1O and costs.

 The polo troubles are not yet over, although polo itself is as dead as Dan McGinty.
 Jean Jacques of Waterbury has been sleuthing Bristol looking for evidence against W. B. Michael in which he seeks to recover royalty for the use of cages on which he holds patents.

coLL1NsvILLE ENTERTAINMENTS.
VIII BE Removed In Accord with tn e
Agreement Reached.

Mr.. J. S. Collins, president of the Ogie-
thorpe Investment Company, called on
Acting Mayor J. M Dixon yesterday, for
a conference over encroachments upon
the streets and lanes of Collinsville. 1t
will be recalled that the city agreed to
pay the .Oglethorpe Investment Company,
claimant for remuneration for property
used in opening streets and lanes, $1,000
A proviso was that the company should
see that all encroachments were removed.
The city engineer made up blue prints.
showing every encroachment and its loca-
ton. It was over these prints that the
acting Mayor and Mr. Collins had their
conference. Mr.. Collins pointed out that
some of the alleged encroachments were
not really entertainments, but merely
temporary improvements like fences, that
might be removed at any time. In several
instances fences had been erected with
out the formality of securing the street
lines having been observed In a number
of instances the investment company was
in no wise responsible for the encroach-
ments, having found them when the land
was purchased
Mr.. Collins said after the conference
that the terms of the deal will be carried
out by his company and that all the en-
croachments will be removed.

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
Commissioners Discussed Differences
with sanitary Board.

The County Commissioners had a secret
conference yesterday afternoon, which
lasted from o'clock until T. While the
pending controversy between the COM
missioners and the sanitary board of the
city was certainly the principal subject
of discussion. none of the board was will
ing to discuss it after the meeting.
Chairman Dale and the others said there
was nothing TO give out-that the confer
ence had been private in it's character,
and that nothing had been done in which
the public had a right to share. Vice
Chairman Moore and Commissioners La
throp, Vetsberg and Paulsen were all
present at the conference, and there was
every indication that the matters and
things discussed had at least a strong
interest and attraction for the members
of the board. The interest was strong
enough to keep them for two hours or
more.
County Physician T. B. Chisholm APP
peared before the board and made a re-
port or explanation. This was in refer
ence to the correspondence which has re-
Gently passed between DIR. Chisholm and
Health Officer Drummer. with which, ID is
perfectly safe to say, the County Commits
sioners have not been at all pleased. This
correspondence has been published in full
in the Morning News, and its readers are
familiar with the facts that have APP
peared. 1t is understood that the COM
missioners at least explained to Dr. CHS
holm that he should be more careful in
what he wrote and said, and there is a
strong suspicion that the conversation
that went on behind the closed doors of
the commissioners private office was
even of spicier and more Interesting
character
II is said that everybody who took part
in the conference was pledged to an in
violable secrecy as to its proceedings
The statement. in view of the calm-like
silence of the commissioners and others
who were at the conference observed,
bears every indication of being the
truth, the whole truth and nothing but
the truth"

The Present Year Has Been No Ex-

Unless the remainder of the month is
unusually dry, June will hold up well in
rainfall. Already 6.73 inches of rain has
fallen in Savannah since June /, which is
an excess of S.07 inches. If there is not
another drop until July l the present
month will hold the record for June since
1898, when total of $50 fell The heavy
rains have been noticeable in the Carroll
mas and Georgia, and Savannah Is not
the only place that has suffered. Reports
show that the crops throughout the state
have been damaged, and grass is the only
thing in the shape of vegetation that has
profited.
June has never been backward in the
rain line. and in 1875 broke the record
with a total of 1879 inches This was
the heaviest rainfall of any month until
August, 1898, when 22.79 inches fell. max
ing a new record. Only once since 1871
has June been the driest month in the
year That was in 1899, when only 1.07
inches fell during the thirty days. The
lightest rainfall for month, in the his
tory of the local weather bureau, was in
December, 1889, when less than oil of an
inch fell.
On the last day of May during the pres
ent year Savannah was LIB inches be-
hind in rain. June started in with a rush,
and to date 81. 80 inches have fallen dur
ing 1901, which is an excess of 1.34 inches.
The rainfall for June since 1871 is inter

stead of having to be put up again for
the next years shoot.
In order to put the members upon an
equal plane. they will be divided into five
classes. The medal class will be the high
est. In that class the members will con-
test for a gold and bronze medal. In each

morning by way of the Plant System for
cambridge, where they will camp for a
week as the guests of the Fourth Regi-
ment Infantry, Georgia State Troops.
The battery will go at the especial in
vita ton of Col. Wooten of the Fourth.
Capt. George p Walker has been busy
several days arranging the details for the
trip. He has found that a number of his
men would not be able 10 go to Balm
bridge, because of the demands made
upon their time by their business, but
the party that will get off this morning
will be a merry one. AS now made up,
it will consist of the following: Capt.
George p. Walker. Lieut.. Harry Dreese,
Lieut.. Alex. Krenson. Sergt. H. G..
Strachan, Sergt. r. NJ. Raines, Sergt. j.
c. Barbour. QuartermaSter Sergeant Rob-
ert Groves. Guidon Sergeant Nj. -.

The artillerymen will travel in their SER
vice uniform of blue shirt, jeans trousers
and campaign hats They will have a
company street of their own in camp.
and will be billeted around among the
companies of the Fourth Regiment for
their meals. This arrangement win prove
very satisfactory, and the Savannah Wis
itors to cambridge will be relieved of the
necessity of cooking their own rations.
The guns of the artillerymen have pre-
coded them by freight. The two guns
presented the command by Washington,
the two modern rifles, recently secured
by the state from the government and
the Calling gun have all gone. Practice
with the guns will be had during the en-
campment.
No other Savannah command will make
the trip. 1t has been reported that the
Emmett Rifles would go, but such is not
the case.
Capt. NJ Ed. Wilson, photographer. has
made supply of buttons for the Chat
hams and the members of the Fourth
Regiment. The buttons are intended for
the decoration of shirts, and, no doubt.
they will be in great demand among the
young ladies of cambridge and the sur
rounding country that gather to witness
the sights of the encampment

CHECK HAD BEEN PAID.
The Suit Against MIR. Max Solomon in
City Court Withdrawn.


The suit instituted in the City Court
Monday by the Oneita Knitting Mills of
Utica, N. Y, for judgment against Mr..
Max Solomon, on an alleged unpaid
check for 1898 80, was withdrawn yester-
day morning on the opening of the court.
In some Way the suit was brought I'M
der misapprehension or through an err
ror. The check on the National Bank of
Savannah was paid by Mr.. Solomon, June
6, and remittance was made through the
Southern Bank.
The first intmatioh Mr.. Solomon had of
any proceeding against him was the re-
port in the Morning News yesterday of
the filing of the suit. He at once called on
O'Connor, HartTidge & O'Byrne, who rep
resent the Oneita Mills and clearly
showed that it had been instituted under
a mistaken idea, as there was no claim
against him by the Utica people. the
check having been paid nearly two weeks
ago With this representation the suit
was at once dropped. Mr.. Solomon natur-
ally felt injured by the proceeding and
did not hesitate to so express himself.
