Property Owners Acted on Paving
Question Far In Advance.
A protest of the property owners on
Abercorn street, who do not want that
street, from Henry to Estill avenue,
paved, has made it's appearance in the
clerk of Councils office long before any
action upon that matt& will have been
more than considered. There has been
no ordinance for the paving Of that
street passed, nor has one even been
presented.
The paving of Abercorn street is a
part of the plan for the paving of
north and-south stretch from the Bay
to Estill avenue. One section is to be
Price street. from Bay to CASTOR. This
has already been authorized by an
ordinance. 1t remains for ordinances
to be introduced for the paving of
Habersham, from CASTOR to Henry,
and of Abercorn, from Henry to Estill
avenue. to complete the plan.
Work on the Price street paving will
begin in a few weeks, and the Haber-
sham street paving will also, in all
probability be done this year, as the
appropriation for paving will admit of
the work being carried out. The Aber-
corn paving, as contemplated, would
not be started until next year. In
fact. the ordinance providing for it
would not be introduced this year.

Col A. r. Lawton, of general coun-

ITS TWELFTH BIRTHDAY.
Celebrated by MistIetOe Camp With
Banquet and Addresses.


The twelfth anniversary of Mistletoe
Camp, Woodmen of the World, which
was celebrated last night, proved a
most delightful occasion. The members
of the camp first held a regular meet
ing at which six new members were
received, and another half dozen, re-
ceived at former meeting. given the
protection degree This meeting was
adjourned to the supper room, where
supper was served by the Independent
Society of st. Pauls Church, and after
that, the remainder of the evening was
spent in literary to addresses by the
prominent members of the camp.
The first of these called on by Con-
sui Commander, II. w. Clarke, master
of ceremonies, was Mr.. r. w. Farr,
who spoke of "Woodcraft." He said
that he felt little qualified to deal with
a subject of so much Importance, and
compared his position to that of the
dog in a story that he related:
A farmer, his wife and their dog, aft
er a railroad had been run through
their section, stood on an embankment
to see the first train pass, the first they
had ever seen. The train rushed by,
the farmer, in establishment, grabbed
the nearest tree and his wife grabbed
the train. do you reckon he'll catch
that train" asked the wife. Il dunno"
replied the farmer; the question that's
worrying me is what'll he do with 1t
if he does catch it,"
Despite this humble opinion of his
ability Mr.. FAIR made a clever address.
He told of the several kinds of wood
men and woodcraft; of the fox, the
moose and the royal Bengal tiger. The
- l. IL
commander of the woods, and the last,
the past consul Adam, he said, was
the first woodmen, but sad to relate
had neglected to join the woodmen of
the World and, as consequence, when
he died left his family without a stitch
of clothes to their backs.
Mr., Farr told something of the his
tory of the order, which though Or
ganized So recently as 1890 now has a
membership of 260, 900, has paid bene-
fits to the amount of $11, 900 900 and
erected over 5000 monuments to the
memory of departed members. 1t is a
work nobly conceived and nobly car
ried out, he said, grand work in that
it teaches charity, cherishes friendship
and begets love.
Rev. j. A. Smith, the next speaker
made an address on Fraternity" He
said that though he has not. been a
member of the camp long, he has new
ertheless discovered the many beauties
of the order. To these he paid high
tribute. The third speaker was Mr.. D.
b. Morgan, who responded to the toast

WILLY A VICE PRESIDENT.
Georgia and Savannah HOnOred by
National Association of T. y. A.


Mr.. R. L. Wylly OF Savannah was
yesterday elected third vice president
of the National Association of the
Travellers Protective Association at
Portland, Oregon. Mr.. A. w. More
house president of the Savannah Post
received a telegram from Mr.. WILLY
announcing his election, and that the
Georgians had shown the largest in
crease in membership of any state in
the Union during the last year. New
York state got the HORNS" the trophy
for the pargest percentage of increase,
but that increase while 100 per cent,
was only an actual increase of 100
members, the entire membership of
that state being 100, while Georgia
showed an actual increase of 1875.
Mr. WILLY is president of the State
Association of Georgia and during his
term of office the association has in
creased its number of posts from six
to nine, and it's membership from GIT
to 1.035.
Mr.. WHY'S election as a vice presi-
dent of the National Association is the
first representation Georgia has ever
had on the board of officers, and his
election is not only an honor to him
self, but to the state. Mr. Wylly hop
ed when he left Savannah that he
would be able to bring back "the
horns" on his return. While he is
disappointed in that. he will bring
back a greater honor, that of a vice
presidency.
The National Association will be in
session a day or two longer and upon
its adjournment Mr.. Wylly will make
a trip through California before re-
turning to Savannah

Mr. H. A. Dunn, auditor of the Cen
trail of Georgia Railway Company, will
give up his position in order to enter
the employ of Messrs. Haskins &
Sells, accountants. in New York. He
is now in that city. consulting with
the members of the firm to which he
will go. Next week however. he will
return to Savannah, and resume his
duties with the Central, remaining
with the company until it's May and
its annual reports have been made up.
Since 1897 Mr. Dunn has been audi
tor of the Central, and his services
have been entirely satisfactory. The
executive officials will regret the sew
erance of his connection with the COM
pany.
The auditor reports to Maj ]. F.
Hanson, chairman of the board of the
Central, and the appointment of a
successor to Mr.. Dunn will rest with
Maj. Hanson. No intimation as to
who this successor will be can be
gained.
Haskns and Sells, the firm to which
Mr.. Dunn will go, were formerly con-
trollers of the Central. Since the aboli-
ton of the position of controller, how
ever, they have been the company

Mr.. Dunn have long been close friends
and the former has gained every con-
fidenca in the latter through business
association. Mr.. Dunn was chief clerk
to Mr.. Sells for a time, when the lat
ter was auditor of a western road.
From the Atchison, Topeka and San
to Fe, MIR. Dunn came to the Cen
trail With the Sante Fe he was chief
clerk to the auditor of disbursements.
Prior to that he was chief clerk to
the auditor of the Colorado Midland,
having gone to that road from the
Kansas City. Fort Scott and Memphis.
His career as a railroad man has been
varied, as it has been for the past
twelve or fifteen years only that he
has been in auditing departments. Be
fore becoming connected with auditing
forces he served a number of roads
as operator and as agent. In this way
he gained wide experience and a di-
versity of railroad knowledge.

Application Is Made TO Allow Teams

Application was made yesterday by
letter to the Mayor for permission to

application was made by Messrs.
George T., and ]. F. Cam, attorneys
for the Standard Oil Company which
desires that Kehoes Iron Works be
allowed to place material for the repair
of an iron bridge across Factors Walk
In the letter the attorneys explicitly
stated that the Standard Oil Company
did not. in asking this permission, ac-
knowledge that it could be prevented
from free access to its property by an
avenue across what is known as EN-
met Park. but. in courtesy to the re-
corder, who had decided that the tract
IS park. the application was made.
Acting Mayor Dixon replied that IT
was a matter for the consideration of
the Park and Tree Commission, and
that body will decide whether teams
will be permitted to cross the park

SAFEST PLACE ON EARTH.
Not One Passenger Killed on Eng
Iish Railway Trains in an Entire

Not One Passenger Killed on Eng
Iish Railway Trains in an Entire
Year.
From The London Telegraph.
The Board of Trade returns of rail-
way casualties in the United Kingdom
during 1901 show that in the course of
that year out of the millions and mill
ions of passengers whirled along be-
hind the iron horse not single one
met his death through an accident to
a train. And it speaks eloquently for
the arrangements of the companies, the
care and skill of their servants, and
the soundness of their material that
this record, as it is, should be estab-
lished as a time when services are
fuller speeds faster, and travellers
more numerous than at any previous
time since George Stephensons great
invention was put to general public
use. 1t is true that there were mis-
haps. and that some persons were kill
ed and many injured, but not one of
the former was a passenger, and the
number of the latter was about 400
short of the corresponding figure for
1900. To be exact, during last year
accidents to trains, rolling stock, per-
manent way, &c, were responsible for
the deaths of eight railway servants
and three persons other than passen-
gers, and for injuries to total of 637,
out of whom ATS were members of the
public.
1t is evident that if one is going to
have anything at all to do with rail-
ways, one is safest in a train that is
on the move, for in the course of the
year 1875 passengers were killed and
1863 injured by falling between carri-
ages and platforms, getting into or out
of compartments, tumbling on to the
lines or crossing them at inappropriate
moments, or in other ways that could
easily have been avoided by the exer-
else of little care and prudence. All
casualties whatever on railways or the
premises appertaining to them, includ-
ing those effecting employees, caused
the deaths of LII persons and injuries
to 6,740 others. Nor does the board
omit to record that during the twelve
months. As horses, donkeys, 80 bulls
and cows, 125 sheep, pigs, 8 dogs,
and deer strayed on to the lines with
effects disastrous to themselves.

FRYE WEARS A COSTLY PANAMA.
So Valuable That the Halter Would
Not Sew n Band on 1t.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Washington, June 3.-The finest PAN
anna hat sene at the White House this
summer is worn by Senator Frye, who
called on the President yesterday. 1t
was sent to the Maine statesman by
a friend, and came without a band.
Senator Frye sent it to his halter and
directed that a suitable band be put
around it. The halter returned word
that he would not put needle in the
hat, as it was too good a hat to be
punched full of holes.
The halter said the piece of headgear
was worth over 500. He placed a loose
band around the hat without thread
fastenings. This hat is probably the
costliest worn by any man in Con-
gresS.
