A WIZENED OLD MAN
Tried for Lunacy But Sent to the
Georgia Infirmary.

iEheu Aor Luhacy nut sent TO the
Georgia Infirmary.
William Stokes. an aged negro. who
was arrested a few days ago on a
charge of lunacy was tried before a
jury from the Court of Ordinary at the
county Jail yesterday. a short inves-
tigation disclosed the fact that the man
is of sound mind, and the jury, with
out retiring, returned a verdict to that
effect
The real trouble with the little old
man they found to be his need of med
ical attention. They recommended
that he be sent to the Georgia Infirm-
airy, and that recommendation was fol-
lowed by the court. 1t is not thought,
however, that he Will live long.
In swearing out the writ of lunacy.
the old negroes accusor represented
that Stokes was a dangerous charac-
ter He said he had threatened to burn
the house in which he dwelt, and ran
about the neighborhood I'm a nude con-
dition. When found by the officers
Stokes was slowly starving to death.
He had received nothing to eat in all
most a week. What little clothing he
had ON was ragged and nasty.
He was brought from his shanty on
the Augusta road to the city. After
providing him with clothes and treat
ing him to a much-needed bath, the
officials gave him the first morsei
which he had had to eat for six DAYS.
The man al no time displayed any in
dication of insanity, and it was the
opinion of the officers that the object
in swearing out the warrant was to
burden the county with the care of
the dirty, starving, wizened old man

Seamen of Schooner j. c. Smith
brought Action Against the Vessel.
Geo. Ives, Fred Sistrand and John
O'Hara, seamen from the schooner
John c. Smith, recently arrived in
port in distress. brought suit against
the captain and vessel yesterday morn
ing before Justice Bevans for wages
due them on the said vessel.
The contention of the men was that
they signed for the round trip from
Providence, r. L. to Fernandina, Fla,
and return; that when opposite Sa-
vannah the vessel was brought into
port without cause and this act they
alleged was breach of the contract,
and they sued for their wages as they
desired to quit the vessel.
Capt Howard of the vessel contend
ed different and put up a strong plea
in his own behalf and that of the ship.
Judge Bevans held that the case was
of sufficient importance for a higher
court and so ruled. Later, however,
the matter was disposed of by the par
ties concerned, satisfactorily to all.

PLANS FOR EXTENSION
OF WEST END LINE,
County Asked to Condemn Land for
Electric Railway.

Electric Railway.
The first step looking towards the ex-
tension Of the West End line of the Sa-
vannah Electric Company was taken
yesterday morning. when a petition
from President George J. Baldwin,
asking that the county condemn GER
tain lands and grant a franchise, was
filed in the Office of the County Com
missioners.
Immediately afterwards a petition,
asking the city TO grant a franchise,
allow the building of a Viaduct and do
nate sixty feet of land to the county.
was filed in the Office of the clerk of
Council. The petition filed at the City
Exchange was read at the meeting of
city Council last night and was re-
ferred to the Committee on Streets and
Lanes. The one in the hands of the
clerk to the County Commissioners will
be read at the next meeting of the COM
missioners. The new line will cost APP
proXimateiy $40, 600 and the viaduct will
require an expenditure of about $4,000.
The Viaduct will be built at the juxc-
ture Of the Old Water Works road
and the Louisville road and the grade
crossing on the Augusta road will be
abolished The Lincoln park line will
be on the north side of the tracks of
the south as at present. The new line
that will extend to the Mill-Haven
Company's place viii pass A. S. Ba-
con & Sons mills, the Vale Royal
mills, the II. P. Smart place, the Com
mercial Guano COmpany's plant, the
Southern Cotton Oil Company, the Vir-
sinia-Carolina Chemical Company, the
old Water Works. and will stop at the
factories of the Pierpont Manufacture
ing Company and the Mill-Haven Com
pany.
The old Water Works road from the
Louisville road to the Bay Street Ex-
tension is only thirty feet wide and
thirty feet will have to be condemned
by the county, making a roadway Of
sixty feet for the company's tracks as
far as the Bay street extension. From
that point Schwarz avenue will be fol-
lowed to the mills of A. S. Bacon &
Sons. From there Factory road will
be used. This road is now only twenty
four feet wide, and enough property
will have to be condemned to make it
eighty feet wide. The land which the
city is asked to donate, and which will,
it is expected, be given, is located OPP
posite the old Water Works. The Sa-
Vannah Electric Company is anxious
to begin the work with the new year.

INTO UNION STATION.

The Union Station Company has a
force of workmen engaged in building
another, the eighth, track into the sta
ton. This work, which is almost COM
pleted, has again revived the rumors
that the Central of Georgia is to go

the Central is pretty well satisfied
where it is now. and that so far as he
knows the question of his road entering
the Union Station is just where it has
been for some time past.

For the first time in the history of
Savannah, according to the city detec-

closed for half of Thanksgiving Day.

agreement to close at o'clock
The signed agreement was placed in
the hands of a member of the police
department yesterday, and those who
have any idea OF putting some of their
belongings in hook for a Thanksgiving
turkey will have to get to the pawn
shops before ? o'clock. The fact that
