EXCURSION ON S. A. |.
Good Trade with City Merchants
Marked Its Arrival.

Nearly 1900 people were brought in
from Helena, Columbus and Montgom-
cry by the Seaboard Air Line yester-
day on the last excursion that it will
operate this season. The train from
Helena arrived at $40 a. M, with 675;
that from Columbus reached this city
at p. M, bringing $40. while the reg
ular train from Montgomery swelled
the crowd by 230 more.
The people from Helena alone
thronged Broughton street yesterday
afternoon, bent on shopping, and the
merchants of that street say that the
people were of better class, seemed
to have money and spent more of it
than those of any other excursion that
has been operated to this city this
season. In the crowd were a number
of dealers from the towns along the
Seaboard Air Line and many of these
bought large quantities of fall stock.
Because of the late arrival of the
two other trains, the excursionists
brought by them had no time for shop
ping, but probably will be busy with
it to-day, and if they buy as largely
and of the high class of goods that the
others did, the merchants of Savannah
will be very much pleased. indeed.

TO INCREASE CAPACITY.
Southern Phosphate and Fertilizer
Co. Makes Extensions.


The mammoth acid plant of the
Southern States Phosphate and Fertil-
izer Company, which has its works
and warehouse near the Atlantic Coast
Line wharves, east of the city, has, IN
its operations in the past few months
so far exceeded the capacity guaran-
teed by the contractors, the N. P. Pratt
Laboratory Company of Atlanta, that
it has found it necessary to largely in
crease its storage department.
A contract was yesterday let to the
laboratory company for the extension
of the entire acid phosphate storage de-
partment. The specifications stlpulate
that these extensions shall be east
ward a distance of 100 feet, together
with the adjoining sacking and SNIP
ping floors and ammoniate and potash
storage sheds. This extension Will give
the company from ten to fifteen thous-
and tons increase of storage space. Inc
work is to be completed, with all the
necessary changes and extensions OF
water mains. fire hydrants, electrlc
lines, etc, within six weeks.
The phosphate company desires 10
continue to run at the increased ca
pacity, and in order to do this the
extension was necessary, since conllnO-
dious warehouses are a necessary ad-
junct to the business. Shipments OF
the product are only made during
three months of the year, and It, there
fore, become necessary to have ware
houses in which to store nine months
product The plant has been but re-
Gently completed and the early extern
sion bespeaks the prosperity and prog
ress of the business.
Mr. George l.. Pratt, engineering d.
rector of the N. p. Pratt Laboratory
Company, was in the city yesterday,
laying out this work. He said last
night that it would be pushed to rapid
completion. If the demand continues
to increase, as it has in the past few
years, it will become necessary in the
near future to make still further ex-
tensions.
In Atlanta the business of
the Pratt company has wonder
three years. Whereas the company
formerly occupied a small one-story
structure at the intersection of Auburn
avenue and Piedmont avenue, it now
covers the major portion of the block.
Several new buildings have recently
been erected, and the demand for the
acid has greatly increased each year.
Mr.. Pratt said that he was especially
pleased with the business done in Sa-
vannah and vicinity since the estab-
lshment of the Southern States plant.
A large force had been employed, and
the results attained had been crafty
ing in the extreme. ISL

Joe Houston, ColOred, Puts n Bullet
Into Charley Derrien.
There was a rush on at the barracks
last night between 8 and o'clock. 1t
had been rather duh for a while, when
suddenly the calls from the officers on
duty began coming thick and fast. One
horse was kept going so long with the
patrol wagon that he gave out and had
to be replaced. There were a half
dozen calls in ten minutes.
While the wagon and ambulance
were out at the scene of the shooting
on Bolton street another call came in,
telling of a similar affair in another
part of the city. 1t stated that one
negro had shot another with a pistol,
at Cuyler street and Park avenue. This
turned out to have been a trivial affair.
Mr.. Jasper Evans had been near the
scene and he arrested the assailant,
Joe Houston. The injured man, Char
ley Berrien, received a pistol bullet
through the lower part of the nose. He
was not much hurt and agreed to APP
pear in Police Court this morning as a
witness.
The two men had a row Saturday,
and because of it one had thrown rocks
at the house of the other. The ill-feel-
ing was thus increased, and when they
met last night the row followed.

The complaint is that the woman had

as a servant by Mr.. w. T. Hussey and
would order goods in the name of Mrs
NJ. McQuade.
The first time the girl went to
neighboring drug store and got the
clerk to order the goods. When they
were delivered Mrs. McQuade took
them, thinking that they had been or
dered by some one in the house. Yes

Mir. Brown telephoned to Mrs. McQuade
