DRAGGED BY A TROLLEY CAR.
John Coffee, COIOred, Came Near
Losing His Life.

John Coffee, an aged negro, was
knocked down by a north bound Aber-
corn and Barnard car at Broughton
and Barnard streets yesterday morn
ing, and narrowly escaped with his life
But for the quick work of Motorman
Blizzard in reversing the current and
bringing his car to a. stop the accident
would have been more serious.
Coffee was accompanied by a colored
woman, and was crossing Barnard
street towards Veruki's bar. The car
that struck him crossed Barnard street
and several persons said they heard the
gong repeatedly. 1t is customary to
ring the gong loud and often at this
corner owing to the large number of
pedestrians there.
After being knocked down Coffee was
carried several feet. Some excitement
was created, but this was caused more
by the screams of the colored woman
than by the man. Blizzard quickly
alighted from his car, and picked Cot
fee up, carrying him to the car. 1t was
apparent that his injuries were slight.
Several people who witnessed the ac-
cident and said they heard the gong,
gave their names to the motorman as
references. From their statements
Coffee did not make sufficient use of his
eyes and ears to avo11 the accident. He
. was taken to his home, AT Bolton

DEMURRED TO INDICTMENTS.
Judge Barrow OverruIed and Groves
ct al. Must Go to Trial.

A demurrer to the indictments charg-
ing w. c. Groves, Edward Marley and
Joe Waters with attempting TO COM
NIT robbery upon the person of
Frank Dieter was filed and argued
before Judge Barrow in the Superior
Court yesterday. The demurrer was
overruled and the defendants will have
to go to trial.
Robert L. Colding. Esq, appeared
for Groves and Marley, and T. L. Hill
Esq, for Waters. The men were
arrested and charged with conspiring
to waylay and holdup Mr.. Frank Die
ter. butcher in the City Market
They were arrested by Detectives
Murphy and Wall before the time al
legged to have been set for the commits
sion of the crime, and were later in
dicted by the grand jury for an at
tempt to commit robbery.
The grounds upon which it was
moved that the indictments be quash-
ed follow:
First That the acts alleged to have
been committed in the indictments did
not constitute any violence of the laws
of this state.
Second. That in admitting all the
facts alleged in the indictments to be
true, they are not acts as would rem
der the defendants guilty of the Of
Tense charged.
Third. That the indictments do not
allege that Frank Dieter had upon
him any articles that could have been
stolen or feloniously taken from him
and for that reason does not show
that it was possible at the time for
the robbery to have been committed
from the person of Dieter.
When the demurrer was overruled
Groves left the court house A little
while later their bondsman requested
their arrest and delivered them to the
sheriff. Both defendants denied that
they had any intention of leaving their
bondsman in the lurch, but were com
mitted to Jail.
Because of the absence of a material
witness for the state the trial of the
case was not taken up yesterday. T. I,
Avant. formerly a motorman employed
by the Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle
of Hope Railway Company was the
missing witness. Solicitor General Os
borne expressed the opinion that the
prosecution would be able to get Avant
by July 10, and the case was continued
until that date. When last heard of
Avant was in Philadelphia

TO ADD TO CENTRAL
PROJECT TO GIVE 1T THE c. s. &
f. AND THE A., v. & w.
THE SOUTHERN WILL DO IT
RUMOR HAS 1T SUCH A DEAL Is
NOW IN THE WIND.

Southern Could Not Take the Three
Lines, Because 1t Now Operates
Competing Lines-CentraI Could
Assume Management of Both With
out Violating Law Against Single
Ownership of Parallel Lines-Cen-
trail OmciaIs and Directors in the
Dark as to the DeaI-COnsOIidatiOn
Would Mean "a Decrease In Num-
her of officials.
The Georgia Southern and Florida
Railway and the Atlantic, Valdosta
and Western Railway may be placed
under the management of the Central
of Georgia Railway as. a part of its
system. This is the latest rumor in
the railway world.
Efforts were made yesterday to Sc
cure confirmation or denial of the re-
port, but without success. Savannah
directors and officials of the Central,
who were in the city said they had
heard nothing of it. President Egan of
the Central was not in the city.
The Southern Railway owns the
Georgia Southern and Florida and the
Atlantic, Valdosta and Western. 1t
will assume the control of the At
lantic, Valdosta and Western on July
1, under the terms of the deal by
which it recently secured the road.
The report has it that the comDina-
ton of the three lines, the Georgia,
Southern and Florida, Atlantic, VAL
dosta and Southern and Central, under
one management-that of the Central
would operate to the advantage of all.
The Georgia Southern and Florida ex-
tends from Macon to Palatka, dis
lance of 2S5 miles, Cordele, Triton and
Valdosta being the important points 1t
touches. None of these is reached by
the Central, so that the consolidation
would be no violation of the state
laws against the single management
or ownership of parallel lines. The
plan would mean the cutting off of
many officials.
Mr.. William Checkley Shaw. vice
president of the Georgia Southern
and Florida, of which President Samuel
Spencer of the Southern is president,
is very i'll. He is unable to attend to
the duties of his position as the practi-
cal operating head of the road, so that
this fact may have some influence upon
the situation.
The Atlantic. Valdosta and Western
extends from Jacksonville to Valdosta.
It's property embraces excellent ter
minals at Jacksonville.
Central Railway officials who were
seen about the report found nothing
impossible or even improbable about
it. They seemed to regard such move
as quite possible.
The first report of a deal involving
the Central, had it that that road
would be practically dismembered, the
Georgia Southern and Florida taking
the management of the main stem,
from Savannah to Atlanta, and the
Southern taking the subsidiary lines.
The Georgia Southern and Florida, too.
it was reported, would take the At
lantic, Valdosta and Western. all this
taking effect under the direction of the
Southern.
The Central could operate the two
roads in question with great advantage
to itself. 1t has much Western bust
ness that goes to Florida and much
from Florida to the West. 1t will be
known doubtless within a few days
whether or not there is anything in
the rumOrs

BUSINESS FOR COUNCIL.
Matters Scheduled TO Come Before II
This Afternoon.

This Afternoon.
The meeting of the City Council this
afternoon will probably be brief. The
Mayor and Aldermen will accept an in
vitation to attend the South Side bar
becue at Montgomery, and, as the car
will leave at 4:3O o'clock, not very
much time will be spent in meeting.
In order to insure the conclusion. of
the business of Council by the hour of
tee of the Whole will hold it's meet
ing at $3.50 O'Clock. OF late the Coun-
Gil meetings have not consumed
great deal of time. so that it is
thought that the hour will prove am
pie for the transaction of all bust
ness.
Among the petitions to be presented
is one from the Gorrie Ice Company,
which desires permission to establish
an acetylene gas machine at its plant
at King and Bull streets.
Another petition will be from
President w. w. Mackall of the Sa-
vannah Union Station Company, pro-
testing against the continued use of
the dumping ground west of the city.
This will be referred to the Streets
and Lanes Committee, which is now
awaiting reply from President
George ]. Baldwin of the Savannah
Electric Company, who was asked to
submit estimates upon the removal
of the garbage from the city by troll
ley cars.
From residents and property owners
of Bolton street, east, will be re-
ceived a petition. asking the opening
of that street to the Thunderbolt shell
road and promising their aid in Sc
curing the necessary property at as
low price as possible.
A resolution will be introduced to per-
NIT the fire department to buy three
horses, at a cost of not more than
$3.50, and $500 feet of hose.
Ordinances to establish the official
statement and assessment roll for the
paving on West Broad street, Stewart
street, Little Jones street, Berrien
strete and Tattnall street will be in
troduced, the paving having been COM
pleted.
Alderman Dixon's ordinance for the
protection of squirrels running at
large on the streets or in the parks
or cemeteries, and Alderman Watson's
ordinance for the paving of Haber-
sham street, from CASTOR to Henry
will be placed on their second read
ing.
