never agreed 10 purchase any stock
from Mr.. Gribble. but that he used
the 5000 to help pay the men at work
on the mine with the fall knowledge
and consent Of plaintiff. 1t seems
that Mrs. Raughman held stock in the
Columbia mine. and that when this
property was consolidated with the
Crescent group. funds were needed TO
meet the payroll, and that Mrs.
Banghman was To acquire additional
holdings in the consolidated company
in return for the 500 expended.

Opposition to 1t VIII Re Made by
some Members of Yacht Club.
The Savannah Yacht Club will decide
within few days whether there will
be a regatta this year, and if so the
date on which 1t will be held. Commodore
Julian Schley said yesterday most en-
phatically that there will be regatta.
There was none last spring" he said.
because of the interstate regatta, but
this year there will be one
1t is generally understood that there
are fewer yachts owned by Club members
this year than probably ever before, and
Mr.. Schey was asked where the entries
for regatta would come from. From all
around" he said; Just as soon as the
date and other arrangements are settled
the entries will come in
Despite Mr.. Schleys firm stand for
regatta there are other members quite
as firmly opposed to it, and when the
question comes up before the meeting
strong opposition to the regatta will de-
velop. One gentleman, prominent in the
clubs affairs, and known to be opposed
to the regatta idea, was asked for his
views on the question. He said Il am OPP
posed to having a regatta for several
reasons the principal of which is that ]
think the same amount of money that Is
spent on a regatta, could be spent to
very much greater advantage in other
ways. For instance the cost of n regatta
/ is very nearly a thousand dollars, of
which quite a part is in prizes which as
often as not are won by persons not
members of the club and therefore does
neither the club nor any individual mem
Der any good. My idea is that the same
amount of money would be much more
probably spent in giving during the hot
months a series of entertainments at the
Club House at which all the members
could be present. These entertainments
might consist of music, dancing and re-
freshments. l have no doubt that a Sc
ries of such affairs will by a large num-
Der of members be preferred to a re-

Mr.. r. l.. Colding, who argued the APP
plication for a pardon made on behalf
of George Grower, before the State Par
don Board, in Atlanta, on Thursday, re-
turned to the city yesterday morning
MIR. Coldlng said the board seemed to be
favorably impressed with the arguments
in favor of Growers pardon, and that
he had strong hope of securing his
clients liberty.
Grower killed Henry Weight in a bar
room brawl. about five years ago. He
stabbed Weight in the leg, in a place
which ordinarily would not only have not
been fatal but would not have produced
a dangerous wound AS an i'll fate would
have it, the knife severed an artery and
Weight bled to death.
The evidence at the trial was conflict
ing but there was none, said Mr.. Cold
ing yesterday, to show that Grower had
designed to kill the man he stabbed. He
was tried for murder, however. and found
guilty of voluntary manslaughter. Judge
Faligant sentenced him to serve fifteen
years In the penftentiary.
An application for a pardon. which was
made about year after the conviction.
was turned down by the then Governor.
on the ground that, whatever the facts
in the case. Grower was certainly guilty
of some offcnse and had not then been
sufficiently punished.
The application now pending is support

and petit Jurors ana by an array Of facts
that Mr. Colding thinks ought to carry
his point. AS already stated, ne entertalps

BRICK PAvEMENTs CHIP.
They Arc Better After Six Months
Than When New. We


"A vitrified brick street pavement is in
better condition six months after it has
been laid than it is when perfectly new.
That is what Director of Public Works
Gadsden said about it yesterday, when
asked why the Gwinnett street pavement
showed such evidence of wear so soon
after its completion.
The brick in the Gwinnett street pave
ment." said Mr. Gadsden, ARE the same
sort as those in the Abercorn and Hab-
ersham street pavements. The Gwinnett
street pavement shows the edges of the
brick TO have been Clipped off by the
hoofs of horses and by wheels but that
pavements go, and they improve under
it. Some of the brick project fraction
of an inch above the general level, and
they get chips knocked off. The pave
ments are thus made smoother.
After the Wheaton street pavement
was laid, but a short time was needed to
make it look as if il was not standing
the brunt of the traf1e over it. This was
only the improving process, however and
soon all the projections had been Clipped
off. The pavement is now perfect
Many, unaware of this popularity of
brick pavements, have noted the Gwinnett
street work and have wondered if the
material employed was not defective, to
have Clipped so quickly. Mr.. Gadsden's
explanation will doubtless relieve the ap-
prehensions of any GWinnett street prop
erty owners who may have thought that
they had not got a good pavement.

but they do not seem TO approve of let
ting any of II go for the adornment OF
their houses. A brick pavement would
improve the street and the residences
greatly. but, because little money would
have to be spent, they demur.
But, looking at the matter from an
economic point of view. I see no reason
why a pavement of new material should
not be put down. l have no more money
than others-in fact not nearly az much
as a great nancy, but I believes that l
could expend little of 1T to advantage
in this way. With the city compelled to
deduct the cost for the restoration of the
pavement that was disturbed by the
house drainage work, there would not be
great deal left for the property owners

CANNOT BE DIVERTED.
Mayor So Fears About Balance OF
BreaI11vater Appropriations.

Breal<water Appropriations.
Mayor Myers is doubtful of the success
of the movement that has been inaugu-
rated to divert the $4,000 said to be ly-
ing idle in the United States treasury
as balance of an appropriation that was
made for the construction of a breakwa-
ter for the Savannah harbor. The effort
is to have the balance devoted to the i'm
provement of the harbor but Mayor
Myers is fearful that 1t will not succeed.
His hopes, however, are along the other
line, and he has signed the petition that
was circulated to bring about the expen-
ditare of the money upon the harbor.
When an appropriation is made for a
specific purpose said the Mayor, "such
as the construction of a breakwater at
must be expended that way, or not at ALL
That is the understanding l have of such
acts of Congress relative to expenditures
In my opinion, it would be necessary to
secure an amendment from Congress to
divert the money to channel improve
ment."
The city records show that this is not the
first case of its kind. The former did not
result as the citizens who took il up de-
sired, and 1t is feared that the precedent
will be sustained. AS appropriations had
been made for the construction of jetties
in the river but it was later determined
by a board of survey that jetties were
not needed. The money that had been
appropriated for them was not used for
it's specific purpose, therefore, and it was
thought that it might be diverted 10 har-
Dor improvement. The effort was made,
but was unsuccessful,

CLAMOR FOR NEW PAVING.
Residents Anxious to Have Henry
street, East. Paved.

Residents Anxious TO Have Henry
street, East. Paved.
Some of the residents of the southeast
ern section of the city are united in de-
termined effort ito induce the City Council
to authorize the paving of Henry street,
east. Their purpose is TO have the street
paved from Price street to Waters road.
Circular letters have been sent out to
residents of the section. beseeching their
cooperation in the movement One argu-
ment used is that to pave Henry street
would mean that fire engines could reach
the section in question in three minutes
!'instead of fifteen minutes, the time it
requires now"
Paving will mean further building i'm
provements in that section, says the cir
cular. The authors of the circular seem
to think that their section has been rath-
er neglected by Council. in the matter of
paving and other public Improvements.
but they ascribe this neglect not to any
desire on the part of Council, but to the
fact that residents of other sections have
been active and alert to their own in
terests and diligent in impressing their
needs upon the Mayor and Aldermen.
Another reason urged for the paving of
Henry street. east. is that il would af-
ford a new and easy method of communi-
cation with the fair grounds on Dale ave-
nue., the route being out Henry street to
Waters road and thence to Dale avenue.

GRANTED 15-CENT RATE.
liant system Agreed to the PrOpo-
sitiOn of Fair People.

st1On OF Fair People.
The Plant System passenger depart
ment agreed at once to the proposition
to make the round trip rate to the Fair
Grounds to be established on Dale ave-
nue. fifteen cents. The rate one way will
be ten cents. The Site Committee of the
Board of Directors of the Savannah Fair
Association was to get the consent of the
railroad to make this for passengers be-
fore signing the contract with the Mer-
chants and Mechanics Land Company
for the Dale avenue tract. There is now
no reason why the contract may not be
closed at once.
Nothing has been heard by the direc-
tors from Hon. Pope Brown, president of
the State Agricultural Society, or Mr..
Martin V. Calvin, secretary. Each of
these gentlemen were to be employed by
the Savannah Fair Association at a sal
airy of 800 a month, commencing May L.
1t was understood, however. that they
would begin work on that date. AS they
have not reported for duty, it is supposed
that they were not ready at that time.
Their salaries will begin whenever they
begin work.
Mr.. Brown will travel over the state in
the interest of the Fair, seeking to get
the agriculturists to make exhibits and
to attend. Mr.. Calvin will have his head
quarters in Savannah and will look out
for the correspondence.

HEARD M'GU'9E CASE.
Mayor Dismissed BauEhn and Lang
and Reserved other Decision.

Mayor Dismissed Baughn and Lang
and Reserved other Decision.
The Mayor had quite a crowd of ac-
cused members of the police force and
witnesses before him yesterday for an in
vestigation of the charges preferred by
ex-Alderman James Mcclure. The result
of the inquiry the Mayor instituted and
pursued very exclusively, was that his
decision in the case of Policeman deg
nan was reserved, while the charges
against Sergeant Baughn and Policeman
Lang were dismissed.
The story of Mr.. McGuire's troubles has
been told in the Morning News. Some
two weeks ago, late at night, he was in
John Cars saloon on Bay street, east.
Policeman Diegnan was also in the place.
The two men became involved in a diff
hculty. Diegnan put up by far the better
fight, and MCGUIRE got considerably the
worst of it.
As soon as he could get away from the
scene of his discontinue, Mr.. Mcguire
went to the police station, where he
lodged complaint against Deignan. Sergt.
Baughn sent Policeman Lang to investi-
gate and arrest Diegnan. Mr.. Mcguire
accompanied the officer Arrived at the
1AiOOhf Ahis OdAt lOlu the OHIttI anu lHc
complainant that the place was closed
up. The officer accepted that statement.
but Mcclure doubted it. They returned to
the police station, empty-handed.
Arrived at the station, Mr.. Mcguire
turned his wrath against Policeman
Lang, accusing him of cowardice. He
wanted the sergeant to have him put OH
the docket and even went so far as to
have the sergeant, himself, put on the
docket. The officers considered that Mr.
Mcclure was too obstreperous, so they
locked him up
1t developed later that Mr.. Mcclure
had sustained some. injuries in his en-
counter with Policeman Diegnan. A
bruised head and broken rib were in
Guided in the list of casualties he had
suffered, and he was laid up for a few
days as result.
The Mayor said after the hearing, which
consumed an hour or more, that there
was nothing in the charges against Sergt.
Baughn and Policeman Lange, but that
he regarded those against Policeman
Diegnan as requiring further considera-
ton on his part before rendering his de-
cision.
