TRIED TO KILL M0TORMAN.
Negro Hurled Brick Through Aber'
corn and Barnard belt Car.

Negro Hurled Brick Through Aber-
corn and Barnard belt Car.
Motorman c. A. Cabaniss of car No
of the Abercorn and Barnard belt
was painfully hurt last night by a
negro, who hurled half a brick against
his head as the car was passing the
Georgia Infirmary northward bound a
few minutes before IL o'clock.
The motOrman saw the negro stoop
and pick up the missile, and the next
moment it was hurled with murderous
intent against his head. Had it struck
him squarely it might have knocked
his brains out, but fortunately the
blow was only a glancing one; 1t
struck Cabaniss on the left temple,
ploughed furrow along the side of
his head and then smashed through the
glass front of the car.
Had there been many passengers on
the car some one would have been Sc
riously hurt even after the brick en-
tered the car, but there was only a
boy riding. and he happened to be out
of the bricks path. The negro disap-
peared in the darkness so soon as he
threw the missile. The police were
not notified of the matter until some
time after it occurred.
The motorman and the conductor ac-
count for the attack on the ground
that it was done for revenge by a ne
gro with whom Conductor H. M. Dick
son had some trouble Sunday night At
the time the man threatened to cut
Dickson's heart out. No attention wa
paid to the matter, as it is no unusual
thing to have such things happen.

MACON WANTS THE SHOOT.
Col. Huguenin Has Asked Col. Cam
to order 1t There.

Macon wants to have the encamp-
ment of military rife teams this sum
mer. Col. Ed. Huguenin Of the Sc
cond Regiment has written Col. George
t. Cam, inspector general of rifle
practice. under whose direction the
shoot is to be held, asking that he
name Macon as the place. 1t is urged
by Col Huguenin that Macon is CEN
trally located and, should, therefore,
have the shoot.
Col. Cam has not yet replied He
Will so to Atlanta within a few days,
when he will talk over the shoot with
the Governor. There has been, 81, 900
of the military appropriation allotted
for the expenses of the shoot, which
will be held upon a more important
scale this year than ever before. Teams
from every company in the state will
participate.
Though Col. Cam would give no ex-
presssion as between Savannah and
Macon, 1t is probable that Savannah
will get the shoot. The fact that Ma
con is centrally located does not offset
the advantage that is Savannah's
through the vastly superior range that
this city has. There is nowhere in the
state so well equipped and complete a
range as that al Savannah

TO HAVE SWIFT TRIAL.
John Burke to BE Indicted To-day
and Tried on Wednesday.

John Burke, who shot and killed Hat
tie Bruen in a Yamacraw house on
Thursday night, will probably be in
dicted for murder at special session
of the grand jury to be held this after
noon, and will be tried for the crime
with which he stands charged, in the
Superior Court, on Wednesday next.
At This afternoons session the So
licitor general will also present to The
grand inquest an indictment, charging
James Stewart and Richard Young
with the murder of Dover Fountain.
Stewart is in Jail, but Young has never
been captured. They will be indicted
together and in the event that Young
is captured before the trial. they will
be tried Jointly.
Judge Barrow is impressed with the
necessity of melting out swift punish
ment to those who have committed the
recent crimes of violence that have
shocked the community and their pun
ishment will be as swift as the exigen-
cies of the situation and the rules of
law and right will permit.

EVANGELIST cRITTENDEN.
Something of the Man who VIII
Conduct the Union RevfvaIs

Something of the Man Who Will
Conduct the Union RevivaIs.
The members of the Ministers Asso-
citation have about completed their
plans for the union revival services,
which, in charge of Mr.. Charles N.
Crittenden, will begin May / in a tab
ernacle to be built at Bull and Ander-
son streets. The material for the tab
ernacle has been secured and is about
ready to be put together, but this part
of the work will not be begun until
about April 20.
Though Mr.. Crittenden has never Wis
tied Savannah, he has national repu-
tation as an evangelist, as the follow
ing extracts from a, sketch of his life
and works will show: He was born on
a farm in Jefferson county, New York,
some sixty-four years ago. He went
to New York city while yet very young,
and there, after a few other ventures,
began drug business for himself. This
prospered, and he is now millionaire.
Through the death of his daughter.
Florence, many years ago, he was led
into evangelistic work, choosing as an
especial branch of it the rescue of fall
en- women. In the pursuit of this work
that he might be the better enabled
to help these people, he made a study
of the class in most of the large cities
of the world.
OF Mr.. Crittenden it has been said
that he is to-day one of the most pop
ular evangelists in the land. His pow
er over an audience is very great. He
is in earnest. He is presenting a sub
ject of vital Importance, as he feels, to
every one befcTe him. They may not
think so, but he does. They may not
feel that they are in any special dan
ger, if, indeed, any danger at all, but
the danger is very real to him.
Mr.. Crittenden is always in earnest,
always interesting and at times elo-
quent. He is himself a part of his
work. and. in fact it would be impos-
sible while he lives to separate the per-
sonality of the man from the great
national and in some respects interna-
tional association of which he is at the
head. To that work he has literally
given himself. Not alone his large In
come but his life.

EXTEND WEST END LINE.
To Serve with Rapid Transit People
Living and working There.


The Savannah Electric Company has
determined upon a new route over
which it desires to extend its lines
west of the city. so as to serve with
rapid transit facilities the employees Of
the several large factories located and
the considerable number of people liv-
ing in that section.
The plan approved by President Bald
win is to extend the West Emo nne
from the Louisville road on the Old
Water Works road and Schwarz ave-
rue to the Vale Royal Mills and then,
turning west, on a line parallel with
the factories and the river front. The
proposed addition to the line would in
volve the construction of about a mile
and half of track.
Mr.. Baldwin is anxious to have the
Central Railway Company agree to the
enlargement of the tunnel under its
track, which is located just east of the
point where the Louisville and Au-
gusta roads diverge, so that the public
road and the company's line of track
may both run under the railway track
This would do away with dangerous
grade crossing.
Mr.. BALDWIN thinks that the people
living along the line of the proposed
construction, where it passes over pro-
perty not owned by the city or county,
should be willing to donate the COM
pany the necessary right of way. The
matter will be taken up with them at
once and If they meet the company
hal6was the line will be built
The proposed plan to build across
the Central OF Georgia's terminals and
so cut to the West End has been aban-
doned, as too troublesome and expen-
sive. MIR. BALDWIN says. however. his
company will be willing to extend the
Indian street line across the canal, up
to the police headquarters and then to
the wharf offices if the Central desires
that this be done.

won, with votes amounting to S21.55,
and NJ. S. Henson, a close. second, with
$40.
