but will do nothing that would aggra-
vate the men or precipitate trouble.
He says that since the strike began
only one man, the manager Of a little
washery at Duryea, approached the
sheriff with any request. He asked
that his fifteen employees be sworn in as
deputy sheriffs as a matter OF precau-
tion, but the sheriff refused because
there was nothing to warrant burden
ing the county with this expense.
Private detectives are thronging into
the upper end regions and are evidently
getting closely in touch with the pump
men and firemen. One said last night
that enough men will be on hand to
protect all colleries and he further said
that the first attempt to mine coal will
be made in some of the Delaware and
Hudson Company's shafts.
PEACE RUMoRs AFLoAT.
There was persistent rnmor in Wall
street yesterday afternoon that the coal
strike will be settled soon. Although
Presidents Truesdale and Oliphant, of
the coal-carrying companies, denied
that there was any change in the situa-
tion, the stock market was stronger and
there was more hopeful feeling in the
financial district.
Many bankers intimated that the
strike would be settled before two weeks,
and particularly before the threatened
sympathetic strike of the men in the
bituminous region will take place.
ltwas also believed that the return of
w. X. Vanderbilt from Europe had
something to do with the changed as
pect of affairs. Vanderbilt, who is a
close friend of j. Pierpont Morgan and
heavy stockholder in the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western and the Della
ware and Hudson companies, is friendly
to labor and is known to have reversed
the policies of the presidents of the
raj ilroads which he controlled.
No call has yet been issued for the
meeting Of the full committee Of the
National Civic Federation. The meet
ing is to be called within ten DAYS.
Several members of the federation be-
leve that II a meeting is called and
John Mitchell, representing the miners,
will appear aud make statement,
giving the workngmen's side of the
strike, the operators would be in duty
bound to also present their side of the
case.
THE LOCAL SITUATION.
largely attended meeting of Coke
Bros. & Co.'S engineers, fremen and
pumpmen was held last night at the
Grand opera house hall. The senti-
ment of the meeting was overwhelming
ly in favor of obeying the strike order
next Monday.
Hazleton and South Side towns sup
ply OF coal was cut off yesterday by the
closing down of Evans & Ree.e's little
colliery at Beaver Brook McAdoo and
Hazleton will be without electric light
within week unless coal can be OBJ
tanned.
Matthias Schwabe has received an
offer from Pittsburg detective agency
to supply him with any number of
strike breakers" he desires. Matt has
declined the offer.
The Hazleton Standard this morning
says that eleven men from Philadelphia,
in charge OF A. P. Platt, of that city,
arrived there last night and were taken
to Cranberry coliery. 1t is supposed
they wore brought to fill the places of
the firemen aud pumpmen who will
strike on Monday.

stated that he did not shoot the wo-
man, and when asked who did an
swered that the courts would be called
upon to prove who the real culprit is.
Further than this he refused to dis
cuss the tragedy or to supply mo-
tive.
Burke is a well educated negro, and
had he made his escape would have
been a fugitive hard to catch. He was
employed by Frank Van Giesen and
was well known on the West Side and
to most of the members of the police
force. He has always borne a good rep
utation and has never been in any
trouble of any sort. He is pop
ular with the male residents of the
West Side as we'll as with the women,
and the detectives say that he was the
last negro that they would have sup
posed would commit, murder.
The homicide created the greatest ex-
element in Yamacraw and in a re-
markably short time over a thousand
negroes had gathered. Although the
police were promptly notified of the
homicide by Tom Golden, proprietor
of a resort on Bay street. the officers
found considerable difficulty in finding
any one who was willing to give any
information about Burke, because of
his popularity. Coroner Keller was
notified of the homicide and will hold
an inquest to-day.

Welcome Equipment of Line With
Electricity in Near Future.
The announcement in the Morning
News yesterday that the Savannah
Electric Company has decided to equip
with electricity the road to Mont
gomery was received with pronounced
pleasure by property owners in that
section and others interested in it's
development
THE completion of the electrical
equipment to Montgomery will mean
much to that suburb, to Beaulieu and
to Bethesda" said Capt. Henry Nc
Alpin. Property owners at Beaulieu
and Montgomery have been prevented
from developing their holdings by the
lack of easy communication with the
city and the consequent discomfort of
travelling. The peninsula there pos
sesses many natural advantages of
health and cool breezes and attractive
surroundings and it should be the seat
of beautiful country homes. 1 am
convinced that with a good trolley car
service the development l look for will
rapidly follow.
Bethesda, too, will profit by the
SOOu SeINlCts DIS people having DuSl-
ness there or interested i'm the historic
benevolent institution and the good 1t
is accomplishing. will find it easy to
get there and back to the city"
If the equipment of the line, which
was begun yesterday, is completed as
far as Bethesda by April %, which the
management expects, 1T will add
largely to the number of visitors at
the celebration of the Union Society's
anniversary on that day.
In the meantime the operation of
the mule car between Sandfly and
Montgomery will not be interrupted
by the work of construction. The
venerable animal to whom this part
of the company's business has been
entrusted for so many Years will con-

FOR A DRY DOCK.
Rourke & sons Plans for Hutchin-
sons Island.

ANOaA nc a 6Ohh GIAn4 LOT
sons Island.
Mr.. John Rourke has for long time
been a strong advocate of a marine
railway, dry dock or other facilities for
the hauling out of vessels here for
repairs. The Morning News told yes
terday of the petition of Mr.. Rourke
for privileges on city land on Hutchin-
sons island for the carrying out of his
plan, which, however, is not yet for
INFLATED, except in a general Nay.
Mr.. Rourke is no doubt proceeding in
the same way the Georgia and Ala
bama Terminal Company did by secur-
ing or leasing land for dock or rail-
way. 1t is a fact that the citizens, at
least those in the business community,
have never regretted the action of
Council in granting privileges to the
terminal company, which they are
satisfied has carried out all its prom
ises of improvements on the island. In
Mr.. Rourke's case 1t is said he intends
to make extensive improvements on
the property, and will in all probability
carry out his plans as he outlines
them.
The question of docking facilities has
engaged the attention of shipping men
for years, but it involves such a large
expenditure, with a corespondingly
large risk as to the success of such
work, that few are in position to I'M
dertake it. Mr.. Rourke has been study
ing it for a long time. Some time ago
he thought of simplifying matters by
buying the floating dock, then at Ha-
vana, from the Spanish government,
but the price could not be agreed upon
and the dock finally went to the Unit
ed States. Mr.. Rourke had sent men
to Havana to inspect and report upon
the dock, and also to get the best terms
possible while there.
The kind of dock, or a railway, If it
is decided the latter will be the better
and cheaper, has not yet been seriously
considered. What Mr.. Rourke is after
now is to find if the city will extend
hand, and if so he will very probably
work earnestly to materialize any plans
formed. From years of experience he
knows what it needed at Savannah and
being a. mechanic trained from the
ground up, is able to give the under
taking the benefit of the results of
many years ex nerience.
During the last few years many ves-
sells brought to Savannah disabled
have gone North to be repaired owing
to the lack of facilities here. One went
to New York the other day. What Mr.
Rouke wants is to keep these vessels
here. He claims it will not only leave
money here, but will also help the
port in the eyes of sip owners every
where.

WILL BE GIVEN LIBERTY.
ROIla SummerIin to be Released I'm

less RequistiOn Comes.
Unless requisition papers for the de-
livery of Rolla Summerlin, now held in
Chatham county Jail, to the authorities
of De Soto county Florida, arrive in
Savannah before noon of April 10, the
ingenious individual whom two guests
of the De Soto discovered on the fire
escape outside their windows will be
given his liberty.
A Superior Court jury recently found
Summerlin guiltless of any offense in
connection with the little performance
on the fire escape of the De Soto, on
which occasion he was in his stocking
feet, carried a Ratchet in the waist
bard of his trousers and was otherwise
appropriately accoutered. The jury
seemed to think his conduct perfectly
reconcilable with a verdict of not
guilty and this verdict was promptly
returned.
Summerlin is charged in Florida with
breaking and entering a railway car
and bench warrant for his arrest has
been sent to Savannah. On this charge
he has been detained in jail.
A writ of habeas corpus directed to
the sheriff of the county and requiring
him to produce the body of Summer
lin before the Ordinary of the county
was sworn out by A. Pratt Adams, by
whom Summerlin is represented. It
was charged in the writ that the de-
tention of the man was without cue
process of law.
hearing in the matter was neld
before Ordinary McAlpin on yesterday
morning, when the evidence for and
against the prisoner was adduced for
his consideration. He directed that
Summerlin be remanded to the custody
of the sheriff, but that if by noon Of
April 10, requisition for his delivery
to the Florida authorities failed to ar
rive he should be released.

BAzAAR'S BEST NIGHT.
Attendance and Patronage Last
Night Best of the Week.

The most prosperous night the Odd
Fellows Bazaar has yet had was last
night. There was much better at
tendance than even on the opening
night and in addition the crowd was
most liberal in it's patronage of the
various booths. Haupt Lodge, sixty
one strong, attended in a body and
took supper. Tonight the knights of
Pythias and the members of Savan-
nah Encampment Odd Fellows, will
take supper and afterward swell the
sales of the booths.
Not only were the sales good last
night, but during the day the manag-
ers of the booths received many hand
