STATE WOULDN'T LOSE.
That Is President Egan's View OF
Atlanta DepOt Question.

President John NJ. Egan of the Cen
trail Railway returned yesterday morn
ing from a trip to Washington. He
was seen by a representative OF the
Morning News and asked about the
project that has been launched by the
Central and the Southern for the cree
ton of a passenger station in Allan
ia, which all the lines entering that
city may use.
Il do not understand the cry that is
raised that the states property will
suffer if the site of the present Union
station is abandoned" said Mr.. Egan.
THE value of the property will not be
impaired. 1t would be available for
other than passenger station purposes,
and there is no reason why the view
should be entertained that so desira-
bic a tract will not be equally as val
liable for commercial. as for railway
purposes.
In this territory passenger earnings
represent only about One-third the rev.
enue derived from freight traffic. The
passenger earnings. therefore, have not
the same Importance as the freight
earnings. To take a step that might
affect the value of passenger terminals
could not mean any very tremendous
loss, comparatively, to a railway COM
pany.
If the Western and Atlantic uses
the new station it will mean less dis
lance for it to traverse through the
city. Blocks of buildings could be
erected upon the site of the present
depot"

BANK IS ENCROACHING.
Citizens Branch Building Juts Be-
yOnd Property Line.

The branch bank building Of the Cit
liens Bank. at the northwest corner
of Montgomery and Liberty streets, en-
croaches slightly upon Liberty street.
protest has been registered with the
city marshal by an owner of adjoining
property, and the matter will receive
the attention of the authorities.
The bank has petition in, asking
that the City Council permit the en-
croachment. This will probably be Civ
en- early consideration.
1.-THE encroachment is but six
inches" said Mayor Myers, when ask
ed about the matter. Even this six
inches is not a continuous encroach-
ment. Only the ornamentation projects
beyond the property line. The matter
is one for the consideration of Council,
however. and it remains for that body
to say whether the encroachment will
be permitted"
Should it be ordered that the en-
croachment be removed, a great hard
ship would be visited upon the bank
The foundations have been completed,
and the first story of the building is
well under way. To make a change in
the plans would mean a heavy loss.
The Savannah morning news., 1902-11-08

There is no one now who believes for
a moment that he fired the shots and
the prisoner himself tacitly admitted
to a representative of the Morning
News that he had not told the truth.
He refused, however. to tell just what
he does know. Miller, the police say,
is the most persistent liar they have
ever had to contend with.
Before Recorder Myrick in Police
Court yesterday he was arraigned for
burglarizing the house of Phillip Low
EFT. Jr. in Hall lane, east. and for
the theft of a suit of clothes from the
chain-gang guard when he made his
escape. The prisoner stuck to his story
that the stolen bank book had been
taken from the dead negro. Other
property taken from the Hall lane
house was identified, and Miller Was
remanded for the theft of the guards
clothes. and viii have to answer also
for making his escape. Although the
officers appear to get deeper in the
mire each step they take they hope
eventually to clear up the mystery that
surrounds the homicide.

MATERIAL ON THE WAY.
MIR. Weiss Thanks Citizens for CO.
operation for Factory.

Factory
Material for use in the manufacture
of cigars has already been shipped
from New York, with Savannah as its
destination. This information was con-
veyed by a letter that was received
from Vice President Nathan Weiss of
the American Cigar Company by May
or Myers yesterday.
Mr., Weiss acknowledged the receipt
of the telegram which announced that
the citizens of Savannah had raised
the necessary funds to secure build
ing for the companys factory He
thanked them for their cooperation in
the enterprise.
The work of removing his stock
from the second floor of the Gucken-
heimer building is progressing, and S.
Guckenheimer's Son expects to be able
to turn the entire floor over to the
Cigar Company on Monday, in accord
ance with his agreement.
Mr.. Thomas Gamble. Jr., has been
appointed treasurer of the citizens
fund by Mayor Myers. At the last
meeting of the subscribers authority to
make such an appointment was vested
in the Mayor. who is chairman of the
movement. Mr.. Gamble has done much
work for the cigar factory already,
but he is ready to continue his efforts
on behalf of the enterprise.
Letters are to be sent out to the sub
scribers, apprisng them that 42h per
cent. of their subscriptions is called
for, and that their checks for the re-
spective amounts may be drawn in
favor of Herman Myers. as chairman.

Court on charge of assault and bat

coal-black female of his acquaintance.
Inc two had engaged in a heated argu-

There were but three other sentences
passed in the City Court at the GRIM
inal session yesterday, the number of
prisoners beng small on account of the
criminal session held on Monday after
noon. John Remions, who stole a box
or sarclnes, was sentenced to serve
twelve months on the county chain
gang, in lieu of the payment OF SEQ

suffered twelve months sentences be-
cause of their purloining propensities.
Two other prisoners were discharged.

IN THEIR NATIVE TONGUE.
Funeral Service Over Dead Greek
Was Read by Archimnndrite.

Funeral Service Over Dead Greek
Was Read by Archimnndrite.
The first funeral service Of the Greek
Church in Savannah was conducted in
Laurel Grove Cemetery yesterday. over
the grave of Vasilio Pappadea, who was
accidentally killed Thursday by his
cousin, Nick Papanasta.
Almost the entire Greek colony at
tended the services, and shed tears over
the grave of their departed country
man. Father Kalinicos Kanellas,
Archimandrite, conducted the orthodox
service. He was brought to Savannah
several years ago by Eli Veruki,
prominent member of the colony, for
the sole purpose of officiating at a bap
tism. The aged archimandrite was
prevailed upon to take up his abode
here, and when his services are re-
quired in neighboring cities he is sent
for.
The killing of Pappadea was the first
death in the colony since Father Kali
nicos has been in the city and the ser
vice yesterday was the first of the kind
ever held in Savannah. Besides the
Greek mOurners there were quite a
number of interested spectators present
when the service was conducted in the
native tongue.
The floral tributes were beau
tiful and the grave was a
mound of flowers. Papanasta was not
one of the mourners. He was kept
under guard at his home and will be
watched day and night until his grief
wears off. The man has not yet re-
covered from the awful shock and il
is feared that if he were left alone he
would commit suicide. Besides being
his cousin, Pappadea was his best
friend. The two had been compan-
ions for ten years and had roamed the
world together. They came from
Egypt to Savannah and have always
been inseparable.

DISPOSITION OF GARBAGE.
Considered by President Baldwin
and the Committee.

President George ]. Baldwin of the
Savannah Electric Company conferred
at the City Exchange yesterday morn
ing with members of the Streets and
Lanes Committee of the City Council
and with the Mayor relative to the
plan for the disposition of the city's
garbage that has been under consider
alton for some time. Sufficient pro-
gress was made to indicate that
an agreement will be reached. and
that new method of disposing of the
garbage will probably begin, under
contract, on Jan. l.
NO definite conclusion was reached"
said Mr.. Baldwin, after the conference
The city authorities want to have
some conference with the county au-
thorities before entering into a con-
tract with the Savannah Electric Com
pany. Some little time may be re-
CURED for all the details to be work.
ed out. The parties concerned are al
most together, however, and there
seems little question that the plan pro-
posed will be carried out"
We will have to consult with the
county authorities before we can know
Just what to do" said Mayor Myers.
The plan seems to be working out all
right, however, and the indications are
that the garbage will be removed bv
the Savannah Electric Company. 1t
is probable that the company would
begin moving the garbage as soon aft
er Jam l as it might be able to secure
the needed equipment"
#Ihe plan contemplates the abandon
ment of the present system of dump
ing garbage on tracts near the CITY.
instead, it will be placed aboard spe-
eially constructed electric cars, which
VIII convey it to the county farm.
Ihere 1t Will be dumped. Women and
children at the farm will sort the
garbage. A portion of it will be useN
for fertilizer. A very considerable por-
ton of it will be found saleable. and
tins will be put aboard the cars and
brought back to the city, to be dis
posed OF TO the junk shops. 1t will be
seen that there will be an understand
ing to be reached between the city and
the county authorities.

WILL ADD TO LIGHTS
CHANGE WILL BE MADE IN CITY's
CONTRACT FOR NEXT YEAR.
WILL CUT INTO ARC LIGHTS
But A NUMBER OF LESS POWERFUL
LIGHTS WILL BE ADDED.

Conference Held Mt the City Ex-
ton of the Lighting Contract.
Agreement Was Reached Between
RePreso natives of the savannah
Electric Company and the City.
Proposition Will Be Submitted TO
the City Council at Its Next Meet
ing-It VIII Doubtless be Accepted.
Same Price VIII be Paid for the
City's Lights Next Year, But IA
More Advantageous Contract VIII
BE Made.
A conference was held at the city
Exchange yesterday morning between
the Mayor and members of the Streets
and Lanes Committee of Council, on the
one part, and President George ].
Baldwin and Assistant Manager
c. b. Kidder Of the Savannah Elec-
trio Company, on the other. The citys
lighting contract was the subject of
the conference.
After considerable discussion, an
agreement was reached as to the sub
stance of a proposition that will be
submitted by the company at the meet
ing of Council that is to be held next
Wednesday. This proposition will
doubtless be accepted by Council, as
it has the Endorsement of the Mayor
and members of the Streets and Lanes
Committee.
\ Change of Lighting System.
A radical change in the pres
ent lighting will be made. There
are now 513 arc lights furnished by
the Savannah Electric Company, at an
annual cost of $72 each. These lights
are each of 600 candle-power. 1t is
proposed to reduce the number of arc
lights to 500. This reduction will
be more than compensated for in the
establishment of $50 lights of sixty
candle power each. Iron poles will be
furnished for these lights, which will
be placed where, in the opinion of the
Streets and Lanes Committee, they
may be employed to the greatest adj
vantage.
With the Streets and Lanes Com
mittee, too, will rest the right to say
which of the present arc lights, to the
number of thirteen, shall be removed
IL is probable that the committee will
be governed in this by the surround
ings. for there are certain conditions
under which one of the smaller lights
might be used to greater advantage
than one of the arc lights.
To Light Dark Places.
There are Places" said a member
OF the Streets and Lanes Committee,
where overhanging trees cause shad-
ows that render the arc lights less eff
fective than one of the less powerful
lights, more advantageously placed,
would prove. In Forsyth Park, for in
stance. the smaller lights might re-
place the arc lights to advantage"
I'VE will submit our proposition at
the meeting of Council next week. We
will reduce the number of arc lights
somewhat, and add a number of less
powerful lights. The city will get more
from the company for the same
money" - I-ie
The new contract is to be operative
on and after Jan. /. Some days ago a
discussion as to a change in the pres
ent contract was begun, the city not
being altogether satisfied with it. Sat
isfaction, however, seems TO exist with
both parties in the change as pro-
posed.

WANT LIQUOR LICENSES.
Applications Already Being Filed
with Clerk of Council.

Applications for liquor licenses from
the city for the year 1908 have already
begun to reach the clerk of Council,
with whom they will be filed to the
number of about $50 by Jan. l. 1t is
necessary for all applications for liquor
licenses to reach the clerk by Jan. l.
The Committee of the Whole has to
take the applications under advisement
before they can be granted and this
makes it necessary for their early fill

TO COMMITTEE OF WHOLE.
Question of the Greeks Fruit stand
Referred.


The fate of the Greeks fruit stand
at the northeast corner of State and
Bull streets is still in doubt At a
meeting of the Streets and Lanes
Committee of the City Council yester-
day it was given consideration, but the
only decision reached by the commit
tee was to refer the matter to the
Committee of the Whole for action.
Col. George T. Cam appeared before
the committee. representing the Greek
proprietor of the stand. He said he had
seen the Lutheran Church authorities,
and had found that they entertain no
objections to the conduct of the stand
at that point.
No permit to establish his stand was
ever secured by the Greek. This was
probably through ignorance. He OBJ
tanned a permit to erect an awning
and another to turn up the soil.
Thinking, evidently, that this was suf-
ficient, he did not get permit for his
stand.
