How the Magnates Propose

the United States Steel corporation
succeeded in reopening the Farm"
mill at Lindsay and the McCutcheon
plant, which the company counts q
victory over the strikers. while the
latter insist that the company has
not sufficient men to keep the mills
in operation. There were no dis
turbances. All the men are nom
union, and most of the unionists who
struck have found places in inde-
pendent plants.

WILL DISCUSS FINANCE.
Meeting of Fair Directors This Aft
ernoon for That Purpose.


ernoon for That Purpose.
A special meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Savannah Fair Asso-
citation will be held this afternoon at
o'clock in the Office in the Board Of
Trade building, for the consideration
of matters of finance. More money
must be raised for the Fair and the
directors will discuss means by which
this may be accomplished.
1t is not known just what course the
directors will decide upon. 1t is said
that about all has been accomplished
by solicitation of stock subscriptions
that could be expected. The efforts Of
the committee that went out some
days ago resulted in some additions to
the stock, and it was then seen that
the canvass of the city had been such
as to leave little chance of any further
efforts resulting in additional sub
scriptions.
The directors are anxious to make
the Fair a complete success. They want
to give it upon a scale that will do
credit to Savannah. They want to
show visitors that the city can give
an attraction that will fully repay
them for their time and money expend-
ed in coming to Savannah, and they
know that this can only be done by
making an outlay that will insure the
very best exhibitions, races and other
attractions.
Two or three plans have been talked
OF by the directors An idea seems to
prevail that they will have to assume
considerable of the responsibility. They
may guarantee certain things, so that
preparations for the show may con-
tinue. The opening of the Fair will
start the money flowing in, instead of
out, and then will come the turn in
the tide in finance and there will no
longer be the difficulty about money
with which the directors have had to
cope.
secretary Shaw is in correspondence
with a number of attractions that
want to make displays at the Fair
Many have applied for privileges. The
secretary has filed the applications of
such shows as he thought the best. and
1t IS possible that deal may be made
with some of them. This, however, is
dependent upon the action that may
be taken by the Privilege Committee in
the matter of the Bostock- Farari mid
way aggregation, which has applied
for the collective privilege of the side
shows and attractions. The committee
has been empowered to act and close
contract with the midway company
and it is not improbable that that will
be the combination that will exhibit
all the shows. If such a contract is
made with the Bostock people, there
Will be nothing left for the other ap-
plicants. as the terms will be for the
sole privilege. The Midway company
will not be interfered with by other
attractions.
Among the twenty-three separate
and distinct attractions that are Of
fered by the Midway Company, there
will be nine on the free list The nine
Will consist of tight-rope exhibitions,
riding a bicycle in mid-air, races and
other thrilling performances. Some
wonderful attractions are embraced In
the Bostock aggregation, and it is be-
lieved that the Fair visitors would be
pleased with what the combination has
to show.

PILED UP ON WEST BROAD.
Brick Intended for Paving the Street
VIII BE Placed.


The first consignment of vitrifed
brick from the Eastern Paving Brick
Company reached Savannah yesterday
by schooner. Two more schooners are
on the way with the rest of the city's
order, and it is expected that the en-
tire 1000 square yards will be here
within a few days.
1t was intended to pave CASTOR
street with the brick when the order
for them was given. The action of
property owners on that street in Sc
curing the injunction from Judge
Speer, however, made it impossible for
the city to pave it. West Broad street,
next to CASTOR, is regarded by the city
authorities as most in need of paving.
The brick will be piled along West
Broad street, beginning at Stone
street, where the present pavement of
cobble stones and Belgian block ends.
They will extend out about one-third
of the distance 1t is proposed to pave
West Broad, which is from Stone tc
Anderson street.
Mayor Myers acceded to the plan for
piling the brick on West Broad street
1t would seem clear from this that
there will be no opposition to the ordi-
nance for paving the street that AL
derman, Watson purposes introducing
at the meeting of the City Council next
week.
1t will be necessary to order about
$4,000 square yards more of brick for
paving West Broad street. 1t has not
been determined whether to advertise
for new bids or to give the order, at
the price paid for the brick last pur-
chased, to the Eastern Paving Brick
Company. If the ordinance passes, the
work of paving the street will be COM
menced as soon as all the brick are
on the ground. 1t is a rule of the pub
lie works department to have material
at hand before commencing work, as
delay and expense of waiting is there
by avoided.

STILL IN THE SEAS GRASP.
The Search for Miss Ambrose's Body
Yet Unsuccessful.

The body of Miss Stella Ambrose,
who, with her sister, Gertrude, was
drowned at Tybee day before yester-
day, has not yet been found, though a
search at Tybee has been kept up ever
since the accident happened. Yesterday
a party consisting of Mr.. John A.
Goette, Mr.. Patrick Grogan and 9TH
ers searched the whole length of Tybee
and Warsaw beach, but the search
was barren of results. Other parties,
too, went to Daufuskie and Hilton
Head.
The funeral of Miss Gertrude Am
brose has been delayed as it had been
hoped that yesterday, the other body
would be found. and then a double
burial would have been made. All sorts
of rumors were af1oat during the day
that the body had been found, but
when they were investigated it was
found they had no foundation. 1t is
mere than probable that Miss Ambrose
will be buried this morning, unless It'd
ings that the other body has been re-
covered should be received in the mean
time,

WANT THE MEN IDENTIFIED.
Fort Screven Soldiers Indignant
over Charge Against Them.

Over Charge Against Them.
The soldiers at Fort Screven are in
dignant that two members of their
command should have stood by and
witnessed the drowning of the Misses
Ambrose at Furbers Point without go
ing to their rescue. as, according to
the story of Mrs. Ambrose and Mrs.
Hubert, they did. A member of one of
the company's at Fort Screven called
at the Morning News office yesterday
to learn if anyone were known who
could identify the men. Other MEM
bers of the companies stated to the
Morning News that they would not al
low the matter to drop with
out an investigation, and that one
had already begun in which not
only the officers will take part. but the
men themselves, as they feel that until
the matter is Strengthened out the i'm
putation of cowardice rests upon every
member of the companies. When the
men are found, 1t is said, they will
either be dishonorably discharged or
court-martialed and tried for coward
ice.
The following letter was received at
the Morning News office last night
from l.. w. Miller, Private Fifth Com
pany, Coast Guard:
In the Morning News of this morn
ing is an account of the drowning of
the two girls near the fort and a state
ment that two soldiers were near and
refused to assist in rescuing them.
Upon inquiry 1 find such is not the
case. At the time of the accident all
men of the post were at drill,
and knew nothing whatever of
the trouble. We have great
many men in the company who were
born and raised in this state, and l
think this statement an injustice to
them. l would appreciate it very much
If you would have this matter investi-
gated"
Other members of the companies,
while they do not doubt that the men
who stood by and say the two young
ladies drown and others in peril, were
soldiers, feel that the men should be
identified and an effort will be made to-
day to have them pointed out by those
who saw them on the beach, so that
they may be dealt with.
In the searchers' parties along
the beach are many soldiers
from the post. The unknown
man who plunged into the surf in the
proved to be a soldier. The men who
have taken part in the search for the
body of the young woman, and others
who would have risked their lives to
have rescued the drowning bathers, are
anxious to remove the stigma that they
feel rests upon all the men of the post.

Although the strike of the conductors

The day squads are the ones that are
being held. The men say that the con-

when he intends relieving the men from
