TYPEWRITlNG BY ELECTRICITY

HarrisOn-HilI Invention an InnovaL
ton i'm TyPewriting Machines.
The Prendergast Electric Typewriter
Co.. has been organized in New York,
under a charter granted in Maine, with
a capital stock of 5000, 900 for the manu-
facture of the Harrison Hill Electric
Typewriter invented by Mr.. ]. S. Harri-
son of Savannah and Mr.. Herman Hill.
The officers of the company are Charles
F. Prendergast, president, ]. S. Harri-
son, vice president, F. E. Morrison,
secretary and treasurer and Hermann
Hill, superintendent
In the electrical typewriter, its in
ventor and promoters believe they
have an invention that will revolution
ize the manufacture of typewriters.
Mr.. Harrison who is himself an expert
typewriter and stenographer. has been
experimenting for nearly two years
with an electrical improvement of the
Hammond type-writing machine. From
the very first he believed that he had
discovered a principle which, when de-
veloped, would mark a new era in
typewriting machines. The experiments
were continued until a degree of per-
fiction had been secured which war
patent and these were obtained in this
country and abroad. Mr.. Harrison s
experiments were conducted in a shop
on Drayton street near York. In their
work he and Mr. Hill We're assisted by
Mr.. L. A. Mccarthy, himself a prac-
teal and experienced mechanic who
said at once that the inventors had
struck the right line. A number of ex-
pert typewriters here and elsewhere
have examined the machine and have
given it their Endorsement. Mr.. Prem
dergast became interested in the in
vention and gave it his financial back
ing and is now at the head of the
company organized in New York for
the manufacture of the machines.
The advantages claimed for the
Harrison Hill machine are lighter
touch, far greater speed in work than
can be obtained by the present ma
chimes, and simplicity in construction,
doing away almost altogether with
the use of springs. A Savannah oper-
ator of wide experience says that he
is satisfied it will increase the speed
of any operator % per cent. to so per
cent.
Mr.. Morrison, the secretary and
treasurer of the company was
with the Mergenthaler Linotype
in its early manufacture, was
later superintendent - of the Ed
ison Photograph Works and also
expert with the Hammond Typewriter
Company and has for the last years
been with The General Manufacturing
Company on the electrical driven word
writer. The new invention almost
wholly belongs to Savannah and will be
developed largely by Savannah capt.

WILL HAVE
WOMAN TO BE ON THE POLICE DE-
PARTMENT PAY ROLL.
HAS BEEN AGREED ON.
SHE COULD BE USED BY THE COUN-
TY WHEN NEEDED.

Mayor Myers and Police Committee
Have Determined That There
should Be a Matron at Police
Headquarters and One Will BE Sc
cured-It Is Figured That 1t Would
Be an Easy Plan to Have n Woman
Act for Both the County and City
and the County Commissioners
VIII BE Asked to Share the Ex-
penre.
Within a short time a matron will
be located at police headquarters
Mayor Myers and the Police Commit
tee of City Council talked over the
matter several days ago and 1t has
been decided to secure the services OF
a white woman to act as police ma
tron.
The need of a matron at police head
quarters has been apparent for sew
eral years, and Mayor Myers and Chair
man Jones of the Police Committee
feel that the time is ripe for the nam
ing of some respectable woman to fill
the long felt want. The matron would
an effort will be made to have the
county join with the city in the ex-
pense.
1t is the idea of the members of the
committee that looks aster the police
department and that directs the ex-
penditure of the money appropriated
by Council, to have one woman serve
both the county and the city. This
could be done very nicely and Mayor
Myers approves of the plan that the
committee has in mind.
At present there is no matron at
either the Jail or station house, al
though the services of such a person
are frequently required. The prisons
in all cities have a matron, and Sa-
vannah has been noticeably backward
in this respect. 1t is not anticipated
that the county would object to shar-
ing the burden of expense with the
city, and it is altogether likely that
one woman will act for both the coun-
ty and city
1t is the idea of Mayor Myers and
the Police Committee to have the ma
iron live at police headquarters ana
pay frequent visits to the Jail when
her services are required. This is made
easy by reason of the fact that the
prisons are connected by a yard. 1t
is pointed out, too that better accommo-
dations could be offered at police
headquarters. The drst1es or prison
matron are varied. Frequently white
women are prisoners. Often they must
be thoroughly searched. and upon such
occasions a matron would come in
handy. Very early in the new year
Savannah will be able to boast of a
police matron.

NEGRO INTRUDER CAPTURED.
Was Found I'm House of L. A. Hester
Christmas Night.


For entering the house of L. A. Hes
ter five miles in the country on the
Louisville road, presumably for ihe
purpose of committing robbery or some
other crime, Sam Gannaway. a young
negro. is in the custody of the county
officials, and it will be difficult for him
to convince a reasonable man that he
had legitimate business in the house or
got there by mistake.
According to facts learned, Gamma
way was discovered Thursday night,
something after 10 o'clock, in the room
occupied by Mr.. Hester's mother and
sister. He was near the bed when
the young lady awakened and screamed
for help. MIR. Hester at once rushed
from his room into the one where the
negro was. He carried his gun with
him, and had no trouble in capturing
the intruder, though the gun happened
to be empty at the time.
Gannaway was securely tied and yes
terday morning was brought to the city
and turned over to the county authori-
ties. warrant was sworn out before
Justice Wickham, charging the offense
of entering a house for the purpose of
burglary and he will be given a hear
ing at later date.
Gannaway explains his presence in
the house by saying that he was I'M
der the influence of liquor, and thought
he had gone into his own house He
lives but a short ways from the Hes
ter home, and is well known to those
in whose abode he was so strangely
found.

FOR SERIOUS OFFENSE.
George Young Held for RObbing
Mail of Xmas Presents.

Mail of Xmas Presents.
On commitment trial before United
States Commissioner Ryals yesterday
afternoon, George Young, the negro
who stole valuable packages from the
mails at the Union Station, was bound
over for the action of the grand jury
of the February term of the United
States Court.
The hearing was held at o'clock in
the commissioners Office. Young de-
MED his guilt, but after hearing from
four witnesses. the commissioner Or
dered him held. and in default of bond
he was committed to Jail. He claimed
first that he didn't have the packages,
though they were found in his pos
session, and afterwards said that he
was getting them for another man.
The witnesses who appeared against
him were Assistant Station Master c.
G. Perry, who made the arrest, and r.
Fl. Jones, Henry Mears and Buck
Payne, three negro porters employed at
the depot, who were instrumental in
effecting his arrest. and who saw the
theft committed.
1t developed in the evidence that
when Young was detected he endeav-
cred to escape, but was caught by
Jones, who called on Mears for assist
ance in holding him. Young had in
his possession no less than fourteen
packages containing Christmas pres
ents. One of these packages contained
candy, the destination of which was
Porto Rico. United States Postoffice
Inspector w. Fl. Lewis was present at
the trial, and took the packages in
charge. He mailed them last night for
their destinations. and afterwards left
for his home in Augusta.

TO DUPLICATE THE RECORDS
of Ocean steamship Company Burn
ed in New York Fire.

of Ocean Steamship Company Burn
ed i'm New York Fire.
The fire which destroyed the New
York office of the Ocean Steamship
Co, at pier So North River, did
little damage to the pier itself so that
as far as is known in Savannah there
will be no interruption of the freight
business of the company and proba-
bly, no great amount of inconvenience.
The greatest damage done by the
fire was the destruction of all the re-
cords of the company that are kept
in New York. These will have TO be
duplicated. 1t is expected that this
can be done with the assistance of
some of the railroads and to do ii two
men have already been sent to New
York from the Office of Auditor w. ID.
Beymer.
The Savannah men who have gone
to New York are Mr.. f. o. Giilicen
and Mr.. M. y. Nichols. 1t is expected
that it viii take three weeks or a
month TO complete the work. In the
building destroyed were the Offices of
Vice President w. II. Peasants
General Freight and Passenger Agent
T. r. Charlton and Supt. r. +. LeFevre
The damage is estimated at $4,000.

FREEZING WEATHER ON.
Mercury Dropped Suddenly Below
the Freezing Mark.

mercury dropped
the Freezing Mark.
The coolest weather so far this win
ter will be experienced to-day and to-
night in this city and section and
throughout the entire South. The pre-
diction furnished yesterday by the 10
cal Weather Bureau officials was for
freezing temperature and continuing
to-day, with fresh northwest to north
winds.
Early yesterday morning mercury be-
gan to drop, and by night it was down
below the 40 mark. At o'clock it had
dropped still lower and showed about
80. AT midnight it had gone to 20 de-
gress. From this it fell several de-
grees below freezing, and ice formed.
No doubt damage will be done to veg
citation, as the weather has continued
so warm during the last few weeks
that many vegetables are in the ground
and fruit trees have been in bloom.
All these will be injured more or less.
Early risers yesterday reported a few
flakes of snow as falling about 8
o'clock and again at 9 o'clock others
were SEEN.
Overcoats were in demand during the
day and the dry goods stores did
rushing business, as those who did not
have coats and had put off buying
owing to the very mild weather, were
forced to buy or go about cold.
The following is the official report of
the conditions throughout the country,
as furnished by Local Forecaster
Boyer:
The southwest portion of a storm de-
preston that is disappearing north
eastward covers the northeastern
states and the eastern portion of North
Carolina, while a storm area has NOV
ed in over the North Pacific states.
The weather conditions over all other
sections of the country are under the
control of a rather intense high pres
sure area, which has it's crest overly
ing South Dakota. Very low tempera-
lures are accompanying this high"
the lowest being 26 degrees below zero,
at Huron, S. d. Cold weather is gem
eral over most of the country east of
the Rockies. and tonight will expert
ence the first freezing temperature this
year. Moderate rains have fallen over
the Pacific coast and light rain along
the coast of Texas, over the lake re-
gion, Ohio valley and the Middle and
North Atlantic States snow has fallen.
