DECLINED MY Mr.. LESTER.
savannah Electric Company WILL
Ing to Furnish Cars and Power
for White Bluff Line.

The recent talk of the extension of
the trolley car service to White Bluff
by Mr.. d. B. Lester and the numerous
petitions which Mr.. Lester has made
to Council for franchises, has been a
matter of interest to people to whom
the line would be of value.
Some days ago the Savannah Elec-
trio Company made a proposition to
Mr.. Lester looking to a connection of
White Bluff with the city by a troll
ley line, but the proposition was de-
clined.
The proposition made by President
George ]. Baldwin of the Electric Com
pany was that If Mr.. Lester would pro-
vide first-class and satisfactory right
of-way and track to White Bluff. with
suitable and adequate overheard con-
struction, the Electric Company would
lease to him such cars as he needed
and furnish electric power to. operate
them ION very reasonable terms" In
addition to this, the company offered
to furnish a proper connection with
one of its city lines, so that passen-
gers might be transferred at the city
limits and enabled to reach their des-
tination comfortably and satisfactorily

TROUBLE AT A DANCE.
Floor Manager with Pistol Cleaned
Up n ROwdy Crowd.

Isaac Goldberg, member of the floor
committee for a ball given at the
Chatham Artillery Armory last night,
scattered a bunch of West Side dis
turbers of the peace who tried to
break UP the dance He used a re-
volver, and though no harm was done
the would-be monarchs of all they sur
veyed beat a hasty retreat.
The club had reserved to itself the
right to reject the holder. of any ticket
and the floor committee did not care
for the looks of the half dozen who
strolled into the hall at an early hour
this morning. He wanted to give them
back their money, but they wouldn't
stand for it. Then the janitor was in
structed to put them out, but they
went after him in the proportion of
Six to one and in the course of
minute or two made him look like
thirty cents.
At this stage of the game Isaac
turned up with his revolver and fired
three shots. When the smoke had
cleared away the situation had clear
ed up and the trouble breeders had
cleared out. Goldberg reported the
matter at the barracks and he was
told he had done just right. At any
rate there was nobody on hand to
make a complaint. Four OF the dis
turbers were arrested

MAYOR LAGREE ON TRIAL.
Charged with stealing Valuable
Letter From POstomce.

I
Mayor ]. C. Legree of Burroughs was
the defendant in preliminary hearing,
begun before United States Commis-
sioner Ryals on yesterday. The chief
magistrate of that colored settlement
was charged with purloining from the
mails a letter containing 81 in money.
a charge which he vehemently denied.
As announced in the Morning News,
the warrant against Legree was sworn
out on Tuesday and he was arrested by
deputy marshals yesterday morning and
| brought to the city. His arrest fol-
lowed large number of thefts of valu-
able letters and parcels from the Bur-
rOughs postoffice, and was due to an
investigation of conditions there made
by Postoffice Inspector William IL.
Lewis.
The postoffice inspector had become
convinced that Legree, who adds the
dignities and emoluments of assistant
postmaster to those of the large num-
ber of other offices he holds at Bur-
roughs, was the guilty man, and 10
catch him in the act sent decoy let
ter through the mail.
1t contained SO in currency and IL IN
silver The letter was put off the train
at Burroughs Monday morning. 1t was
addressed to l. Silverberg Co, to
which firm several letters were deliv-
cred that had come on the same train
The decoy letter, however, was not de-
livered by Legree to the man the clerks
in the store sent for the mall
At dusk the postoffice inspector went
to the office and revealed his Identity
and as soon as he had done so, Legree
produced the decoy letter from his
pocket. He said he had been keeping
it for delivery to Mr.. Silverberg or his
chief clerk in person, because fhe saw
that it contained money, and for the
further reason that there was due
cents postage.
This was the evidence brought out
at the hearing yesterday. At its con-
clusion the defendant asked for addi-
tional time in which to introduce evil
dence in his own behalf, and the hear
ing was continued until to-day.
The commissioner released Legree on
his own recognizance, the negro prom
ising solemnly and with repeated as
servations as to the honesty and up
rightness of his life and his standing
in his community that he would be on
hand when the case was called.
