Ground Was Broken in Construct on
of Union station Approaches.
Ground was broken yesterday for The
approaches to the Savannah Union Sta
ton. which is to be erected on West
Broad street, between Stewart and Rob
erts. Savannahians had long looked for
ward to the beginning of work, as it was
10 furnish tangible evidence of the estab-
lishment of a union depot at no very dis
tant date 1t is expected that the ap-
proaches and the station as well, will be
completed by Jan. /.
The force of laborers put to work by
Mr.. ID. j. Heuer, engineer for Messrs.
Oliver & Co., the contractors, will be in
creased to-day and tomorrow. By May
10 the work will be in full swing and in
progress at many points along the five
mile stretch upon which tracks are to be
laid. In all, there will be about twelve
miles of tracks.
About 1900 feet of temporary trestle
will be built in order to allow the con-
struction trains to do the work effectively.
The trestle will be about twenty-five feet
high. 1t will be filled in with dirt from
the borrow pit, leaving embankment
similar to that over which the Central
Railroad enters the city.
Bids on the Union Station were received
yesterday. Tomorrow there will be a
meeting of the board of directors of the
Savannah Union Station Company, when
the contract will be awarded.

WANT HAUPT PARDONED.
Savannah Man May he Given Free

savannah Man May BE Given Free
dom Before Sentence Expires.
A quiet effort is being made to secure
the pardon of George w. Haupt, formerly
employed as bookkeeper by the j. p. Will
liams Company, and convicted in the Su-
perior Court of larceny after trust and
embezzlement of funds belonging to his
employers and also to the Duffy Street
Baptist Church, of which he was treas
urer. It is understood that already a ma
jority of the jurors who found Haupt
guilty have signed petition asking for
his pardon.
Haupt is employed as bookkeeper at the
camp a Fargo, and from all accounts is
valuable man. For the work he does
he is paid $25 a month and is not as
closely guarded as other convicts. Some
time ago another lumber firm offered the
present lessee in the neighborhood of 800
for the transfer of Haupt. In addition it
was agreed to pay Haupt a salary of $50
month, but the present lessee showed
no desire 10 part with the camps book
keeper.
The prisoners friends are confident that
the pardon commission will act favorably
on the appeal, and hope TO have him re-
leased shortly Mrs Haupt is at Fargo
near the camp where her husband is con-
fined, and is in charge of the hotel at
that point.

HER FIRST RIDE BY TROLLEY.
Aged Lady Passenger Confded Her
Greenness TO the Conductor.

An aged lady boarded a Habersham
street trolley car yesterday at Liberty
street, and after looking around in a
rather bashful manner confded to the
conductor that it was her first experience
with street car operated by electricity
She told the man on the car platform
that she was born and raised in Savan-
nah, but until yesterday she could never
make up her mind to ride on a trolley car
Since the electric cars have been run
ming in Savannah she has often watched
them whir through the streets and has
always adhered 10 the belief that they
were dangerous to passengers as to
pedestrians. Her relatives had laughed at
her, she said, for being so timid, and she
had made up her mind to see how il felt
to be a passenger. The Old lady got off
the car at Bull and Broughton streets.
and announced that she was Pleased.

FAIR WEATHER TODAY.
Deficiency of Heat and Record of
Former Years.

Former Years
The maximum temperature Yesterday
was rs degrees. and the minimum, 50.
making a mean of 6S degrees, which was
below the normal This increased the
deficiency for the month 10 81 degrees.
and that of the year to 9OS The de-
feiency of rainfall for the month is l.O1
inehes, and that of the year 81 of an
inch
From the very pronounced deficiency in
temperature, the lay observer might nat
urally argue that, by way of equalzing
things, very warm summer might be
expected, but such supposition is I'M
Warranted, judging by the Savannah
weather records of the past few years.
Beginning with April Is. 1895. there was
on that date a shortage OF 439 degrees OF
heat, which, far from being wiped out by
q warm summer, had been increased by
the end Of the year TO 523 degrees. In
1850 there was shortage OF 1876
degrees up 70 April Is, but at the end Of
the year not only had this been wiped
out but there was an excess above tho
normal OF 1856 degrees. In both 1897 and
1879 there was an excess OF temperature
both IN April 10 and at the end OF the
year. ana again, in 1899 and IN 1900. there
was quite an excess Of heat IN both cases
amounting 70 over 200 degrees. though 90
70 April 10 IN each year there had been o

AFTER AN UNRIPE PLUM.
rOIice PrIvates HustIing for Position
Not Vacant


The privates in the police department,
a good many of them, at least, are act
lively engaged trying to pull down a plum
that has hardly formed, let alone ripened.
Many of the patrolmen have secured the
services of their friends, and are them
selves hustling for an appointment to a
sergeant's place. There is no vacancy
yet, and as far as Superintendent Reilly
and Chairman Frank of the Police Board
know, there is no probability of a change
in the list of sergeants very soon.
Under the ordinance, Desk Sergeant
Lingg, who has served a full thirty
years, is entitled 10 a pension, but he has
expressed no desire to be relieved from
active duty. II is believed that Sergeant
Lingg is good for considerable more duty
and Superintendent Reilly does not APP
prehend that there will be a vacancy on
any of the desks
IL is known that Mounted Sergeant
Floyd is quite anxious to be retired on
pension, but he has two years more to
serve. In the meantime there are many
avowed candidates for the stripes that are
now being worn by others.
