CHANGE IN HIS ORDER.
VIII BE Asked by Judge Adams
for Emmett Park.

LOT ImmeI HHFk.
Judge S. B. Adams, city attorney,
was asked yesterday if he would ask
for a modification of Judge Pope Bar
rows order restraining the city from
making any improvements on Emmett
Park. He answered that he had talked
the matter over with Alderman Dixon
chairman of the Special Committee on
Emmett Park. and that it had been de-
cided that a modification would be
asked for on Saturday. in order that
the city may proceed with the laying
of brick sidewalk along the bluff.
Chairman Z. d. Daffin OF The Park
and Tree Commission said that the
Emmett Park situation, in so far as he
knows, offers no change. Chairman
Daflln, however. called attention to one
fact that. he thinks, should controvert
the assertion that there is not enough
room in Emmett Park to admit of a
roadway running along the huff lie
says that there are more square feet
in Emmett Park than in Forsyth Park.
He thinks that twenty, a fifteen or
ten-foot roadway, running from Lin
ccln to East Broad street, would not
detract one iota from the appearance
of the park

SHlGGS TURNED LOOSE.
Against Than Shining in Pension
Claim Case.

shown Tint He Was More Sinned
Against Than Shining in Pension
Claim Case.
The hearing of Henry Shiggs before
United States Commissioner Ryals for
filing a fraudulent pension claim was
continued yesterday afternoon. 1t re-
suited in the case being dismissed not
as the commissioner himself said, be-
cause there was any evidence that the
accused had ever served in the army
as he claimed, but rather because there
was doubt of his having any criminal
intent in making his claim and be-
cause it was shown that he had
good character in the opinion of those
who had known him for years.
The first witness, Mr.. w. N. Beck
EFT, testified to the papers in the case.
1t was before him that the applica-
ton for the pension was made out. A.
b. Parkey, special examiner of the
Bureau of Pensions, said that Shiggs
had come to him and said that he had
been a member of Company A, One
Hundred and Twenty-eighth Regiment,
for about a year and four months,
from spring of 1865 Shggs also stat
ed that he had first said that he had
served under the name of Henry
Jones, but that in fact he had enlisted
under his proper name of Shiggs. In
vestigation showed that the name of
Henry Shiggs was not on the roll, and
the papers had been returned by the
War Department to the witness with
instructions to investigate. Shiggs be-
ing called before the examiner, had
said that he was not a member of
any organization, but had been at
Beaufort while the regiment was re-
cruiting, but had been rejected for SER
vice because of the fact that his phys
ical constitution was unable to with
stand the hardships of a soldiers life.
The witness said that Shiggs had also
stated that Bill Moore had told him
that he was entitled to a pension be-
cause he had drilled with the soldiers.
Other witnesses testified to Shiggs'
good character and to the fact that he
had never served in the regiment In
question.
In his own behalf Shiggs laid all
the blame for filing the claim on Bill
Moore, and told just how much service
he had seen. He said that he had
drilled with the regiment at beaufort
and that when he failed to pass the
physical examination his fare to Sa-
vannah had been paid by the conscript
officer. After hearing all the testimony
the commissioner dismissed the case.

WOULD COST $4,000.
Comprehensive Plan for Greene
Funeral Would De Expensive.

Funeral Would BE Expensive.
Nothing has yet been done in ar
ranging for the re-interment of the re-
mains of Gen. Nathaniel Greene. The
statement in the Morning News yes
terday that an injunction would be Sc
cured, restraining the city from doing
so if it sought to appropriate larger
amount than $500 for the funeral ex-
penses, caused some CONSERVATION
among those who have desired that
the city assume complete charge of
the arrangements, for it is recognized
that ceremony of the scope desired
for the funeral could not be conducted
for such a sum.
1t has been estimated by Mr.. r. T.
Waller. representing the descendants
of Gen. Greene in the matter of the
re-interment, that $4,000 would be re-
quired to defray the expenses incident
to the obsequies. 1t is such sum
as this that the taxpayer, who threat
ems injunction proceedings, does not
desire to see appropriated.
1t is probable that some definite ac-
ton will be taken by Council soon.
1t is proposed to have the funeral in
November, during the state convention
of the Daughters of the American
Revolution. and the actual prepara-
tions for the event cannot be delayed
a great while.
During the absence from the city of
Mrs. Edward Karow, who, as regent
of the Savannah Chapter of the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution has
taken the leading part and interest in
the arrangements for the funeral, there
has not been as much activity dis
played by the committees of the pa
triotic societies as there was for few
weeks prior to her departure. With
her return it is expected that this in
terest will be revived.
The special committee of council has
not as yet, agreed upon a report to
be made to Council. When an agree
ment has been reached Council will be
acquainted with it, and action upon
the petition to have the city assume
full charge of the arrangements may

FOR STEALING COTTON.
White Man and Two Negroes Lock
ed Upon Charge of Larceny.

Three men were locked up in jail
yesterday morning about whom the Of
ficers observe considerable reticence.
The men are Cornelius Gardner and
Robert Ancrum, colored. and P. V.
Hodges, a patrolman at the wharves
of the Atlantic Coast Line.
The specific charge is larceny and
they are accused of having stolen four
bales of cotton from the wharves, and
floating them down the river to a rem
devious at present not known
The warrants for the arrest were
sworn out before Justice Bevans. by
MIR. S. r. Harris agent of the Atlantic

the negroes are said to have work I'd

jail awaiting further developments of

FIRE ENGINE IN RUNAWAY.
Team of No. 3 Did n Lively stunt
Though with Little Damage.

Though With Little Damage.
horses careening wildly down the
street, the animals beyond the control
of the driver, was the sight that greet
ed persons of Oglethorpe avenue west
and West Broad street yesterday af-
ternoon a few minutes of o'clock.
1t was engine No. of Central sta
ton, one of the largest and heaviest
of the department. The horses con-
tipued on their wild run from Central
station until West Broad and Congress
streets was reached. when they were
checked by a man who ran from the
sidewalk and caught the bride of the
right hand animal, which checked the
speed of the team and allowed other
persons to get at the heads of the 9TH
er animals and put an end to the run
away.
The men of the fire department
would not discuss the happening but
from other sources it is gathered that
the horses, which were just hitched up
for the afternoon exercise. either
through caprice or because they were
frightened, began their run directly
from the engine house and that,
though a driver was in the seat he was
utterly unable to stop them. but man
aged to keep them in the middle of
the street, for a part of the run, at
least. A collision occurred somewhere
along the route. and the result of it
was that the tongue of the engine was
damaged. though to no great extent.

COLLECT FARES SOONER.
Change Has Been Made on In-COm-
ing ThunderbOIt Cars.

Conductors on the street railway sys-
tenn have been notified to begin collect
ing fares on cars bound for the city
from Thundtrbolt before they cross the
Atlantic Coast Line tracks. 1T was for
merly the case that the second fares
were collected after the cars crossed
East Broad street. This rule was
changed because the conductors, when
their cars We're crowded, could not
reach the passengers in the rear until
several streets had been passed. 1t
was sometimes the case that the cars
would run as far as Gordon street, on
Habersham, before the rearmost pas
sengers could be asked for their fares.
The result was that many passengers
would get off the cars before the con-
ductor could reach them, the company
thereby losing the fares.
Passengers from Thunderbolt or in
termediate points are allowed to ride
as far as Habersham street for the one
fare, so that the conductors ask the
passengers where they purpose getting
off when they begin to collect fares
east of the railway tracks.

Some of the street car men are
laughing about the performance they
credit to Motorman Pomeroy. They
say Pomeroy was changed few days
ago from conductor to motorman. The
boys began guying him because he
wasn't making the schedules, and he
began to grow sore. He got so he didn't
want to stand 1t any longer. so he
threw up his job at the corner of East
Broad and Gwinnett streets. He call
ed to Superintendent of Transportation
Duffy and told him he was going to
quit. Thereupon he got off the car,
leaving MIR. Duffy TO act as motorman.

HEIRS AT VARIANCE.
Do Not Agree as to the Management
and Disposition of Ray Estate.

Do Not Agree as to the Management
and Disposition of Ray Estate.
The heirs of the estate of the late
James Ray have different views as to
how the estate should be divided, and
the amount of the years support which
the widow seeks to have set aside.
These varying views have assumed le-
gal form, and yesterday came up for
determination in the Court of Ordin-
airy. There were three separate mat
tiers upon which they could not agree,
and before the hearing had terminal
ed solsla puz5ling questions had been
propolnded. Judge McAlpin disposed
of one of the matters in dispute, con-
tinued a second and reserved his de-
cision on the third, until next Satur-
day.
The question upon which he will then
give his decision is, tersely stated,
whether there can be a partial distri-
button OF ali estate, after all of the
debts are paid. In this case the wild
ow wishes another years support set
aside to her from the funds in hand,
after which she desires that the es-
tate he divided. Mrs. Zoucks, one of
the heirs, effects to the setting aside
of the years support and asks that
a partial distribution be made pending
the determination of the question of
the years support. The widow, who
is also the administrative. answers
that a partial distribution is illegal.
The question of the years support
was not determined. A caveat to the
granting of the second years support
had been filed by Mrs. Zoucks To
this caveat an amendment was filed,
and the Administrative pleaded sur
prise. The court thereupon passed an
order allowing her more time in which
to meet the amendment.
The objections to the annual returns
was, however, disposed of. After argu-
ment had, the judge dismissed the OBJ

that he could not discuss it. as it is

A number of Savannah officers have
