Sought From the City by the Crit
tentOn Committee.
A delegation of the committee which
is to establish the Florence Crittenton
home in Savannah called on Mayor
Myers yesterday to learn if the city
would be willing to donate a site for
the erection of a building In the dele
cation were Mr.. w. B. Stubs, Rev.
w. A. Nisbet, DIR. T. S. Clay, Mr.. J.
r. Cain, Mr.. Mant Hood and Mr.. A A.
Artley.
Mayor Myers gave the delegation
considerable encouragement He said
that he thought it quite likely that a
lot would be donated, though 1T is a
matter to receive the consideration of
Council He advised the gentlemen to
present a petition to that body and
this advice will be taken. 1t is proba-
BILE that such a petition will be pre-
sented at the meeting of Council that
is to be held tomorrow.
L consider that there is need for
such an institution as the gentlemen
seek to establish said the Mayor. Il
crten ind, as Mayor, that the oiiy is
called upon 10 do something for un-
fortunate women of this class. It is not
lnfrequently the case that they have to
be sent to the police station until pro-
vision can be made for their care
somewhere else. With such a home es-
tabl1shed, l should think that a refuge
would be open for them.

MONEY FOR CINCINNATI.
They Not Only Gained Readmfssion,
but "a PatrimOny.


but PntrimOny.
Mr.. Walter G.. Charlton, president of
the Society of the Cincinnati in Geor-
gia, feels sure that it will grow rap
idly, now that it has been received into
the general society. He has met sew
eral gentlemen interested in the pa
triotic body since his return, of which
the Morning News told yesterday. In
talking of the Hartford convention, Mr..
Charlton said:
1.-The Georgia delegation. consisting
of Messrs. F. Apthorp Foster, T. Saw
age Clay, Mcqueen Mcintosh and my
self, were all on hand by Sunday
morning, June Is. The standing execu-
tive committee, before which our
claims to be admitted were to be pre-
sented, met on the morning of the 18th.
We had thought that the original nine
members had passed on at the con-
vention of 1899, but at the last moment
we were confronted with the fact that
there was no record Of this, and If
worked for awhile like our work of the
past three years had been absolutely
thrown away. Fortunately we had car
ried on the duplicates of application
for membership and this trouble was
tlded over. The fight in the committee
was a hard one. Complicated with the
difficulty of securing admission-wbicb
took in some instances six. nine and
even twelve years probation-was the
money question. A requirement of nav
ing one hundred and fifty dollars each
had been imposed. and we had con
Guided to pay nothing.

DRILL OF THE PYTHIANS.
Annual Event of Georgia Company
Held at Tybee Island.

Annual Event of Georgia Company
Held at Tybee Island.
The annual picnic and prize drill of
Georgia Company No. 1, Uniform Rank
of the knights of Pythias, was held
yesterday at Tybee Island. There was
a large attendance, and the affair
proved quite a success. The usual
amusements of Tybee were sought by
the crowd, but gave way at O'Clock to
the prize drill, which was held in Ora
hams pavilion. Some very good sword
work was exhibited, the judges being
Maj. j. Ferris Cam and Lieut.. Flem-
ing. To facilitate the drill and equal
ize the chances for the members, the
company was divided into two pla-
toons.
After the drill dancing was enjoyed
until II o'clock, when the last train
left the island for the city. The COM
mittee that had the arrangements for
the event in charge consisted of Messrs.
P. H. Brown, T. M. Freeman, v. H.
Worthan, L. Steinberg and A. Kessei.

RAILROAD CONTRACTORS SUING.
l.. r. Wright a. Co. Ask for Lien to
the Amount of S42,632.SS.

l.. r. Wright a. Co. Ask for Lien to
the Amount of SAP ,632.SS.
A suit for $42, 632SS with interest fol-
lowing a claim for lien for the same
amount, reported in the Morning News
some time ago was filed in the City
Court yesterday by L. r. Wright &
Co., railroad contractors, against the
Savannah, Florida and Western Rail-
way and the Atlantic Coast Line Rail
road Company.
The action is the result of the build
ing of 90 miles of road for the Plant
System from Jesup to Folkston, and
passing through Wayne, Pierce and
Charlton counties. Under the contract
made on May 49, 1901, between the
Plant System and the plaintiffs, it was
specified that the road should be COM
pleted by Dec. l, 1901. The contractors
claim that they were unable to carry
out this clause in the contract be-
cause of unprecedented weather con-
ditions.
1t is alleged that because of excep-
tionally heavy rains and freshets dur
ing the month of September and in
October, when the swamps and creeks
along the road were badly swollen, the
work was delayed for four months and
that by certain acts performed by the
railroad company's agents there was a
further delay of four weeks, for none
of which the plaintiffs say they were
responsible. They allege that they
finally completed the contract, for
which they had given 100000 bond, on
March 10 of the present year.
They charge, however, that the COM
pany at that time did not see fit to
make the necessary inspection and that
on March 81 heavy rains did consider
able damage. An inspection was made
date, on March - and the road was
not accepted u1til further work had
been done. The company finally, on
April 16, accepted the road without
protest althouga it has since failed
and refused to pay sums amounting to
$42, 632.SS for which the contractors ask
a lien.

our delegation. We found that after
meeting some very reasonable require
ments we were to become. ipso facto,
admitted, and that instead Of paying
one hundred and fifty dollars each, the
general society restored its fund to
Georgia, amounting to about seven
teen hundred dollars. We had not
asked for this money. No descendant
of an original member is to be required
to pay any fee in admission, although
those who come in under the rules of
1854. Chose whose ances tors would
have Joined. but didn't, will have to
deposit this sum. Owe now
have fifteen members and probably will
double this before long.
THE trip was a delightful exepri-
ence. Sunday and Monday were hot
enough to make one long for the cool
breezes of Savannah, light wear and
the shady side of the street but Tues
day and Wednesday, the convention
days, were perfect, cool, bright and
beautiful. Hartford is one of the most
attractive cities in the country, and
the capitol, which is on a hill rising
in the midst of a wonderful park.
could not be better situated. The Con-
necticut Cincinnati has the use of the
Senate chamber by law, and the first
meeting of the general society was
building. That night we attended
charming dinner given US by the pa
triotic societies of Hartford. On We'd
nesday we were taken by train through
the glorious Connecticut valley to New
London, where we climbed the Grobon
HILL and visited Fort Griswold of Rev
dictionary fame. We then took steam
er and sailed down the Connecticut
river into Long Island sound, back to
New London, and thence about two
miles in the country to the Pequot
House, near the mouth. of the river,
where the final meeting was held and
at night the grand banquet given.
Nothing could have exceeded the
hospitality of the Connecticut
Cincinnati. Every want was
foreseen and whenever del
egates could get away from business
the most delightful care was taken of
them. Added to this, the weather was
perfect. Altogether 1T was an eXpe-
rience for the delegates to remember.
Almost every name famous in Amer
lean history was represented, and the
speeches were all pitched on a high
plane.

The consolidation of the Plant Sys-

CAUGHT BY STORM AND TIDE.
Thrilling Experience of Turtle Hunt

Thrilling Experience of Turtle Hunt
tiers on Ossabaw Beach.
A party of city officials which went
to Ossabaw Island Saturday to turn a
turtle" returned to Montgomery Sun
day morning with their little tale of
woe, and the turtle and her eggs. They
reached the seashore in the afternoon
and waited patiently for the incoming
tide and the materially disposed tur-
tie, both of which came in due time,
and brought with them a terrific storm.
The wind blew out the lanterns and
the lightning was so binding that the
turtle-hunterS could not tell the sea
from the shore. In hopeless misery
they Joined hands on the beach, and
held on to each other with the true
grip of the Office holder, until the storm
passed over. Wet with rain, and cover
ed with sand they were happy when
the glorious sun came out in the hori-
zon on the Sabbath morning. They
turned their turtle, however, and that
was httle compensation for their
hardshtps

Fireman John D. c. Schroeder of Sta
ton No. s, was discharged from the
department yesterday by Mayor Myers,
who heard charges that had been pre-
ferred against him. Several witnesses
were examined, and their testimony in
duced the Mayor to believe that the
case justified and demanded the dis
missal of the fireman. The charges
against Fireman Schroeder were being
absent from duty without leave, and
having used disrespectful language,
with Superintendent Mcguire as it's
subject. The fact that it was not the
first time that Fireman Schroeder had
been involved in trouble had weight
with the Mayor in inducing his decis-
ion.
