THREE CARRIERS OUT
WE'RE DISMISSED ON CHARGES
MADE BY INSPECTOR SMITH.
JUDS0N LYONS TO RESCUE.
HAS HAD DIsMISSALS HELD UP FOR
FURTHER INVESTIGATION.

The Dismissed Carriers, Simon G.
NJ. Peasants, Jr.-First Charged
With Physical Disability, Lafay-
cite for Making short Time and
Peasants for LOitering-Charges
Made by Inspector Some Days Ago
and Men Submitted Written An
swers to Them-Received Their
DismissaIs Yesterday Morning Att
err First Round.
Three mail carriers were dismissed
from the Savannah postoffice yester-
day morning after they had finished
their first round. They are Simeon G.
Webster Albert Lafayette, and L. NJ.
Peasants, Jr. Their dismissal, which
came to Postmaster Henry Blum direct
from the second assistant Postmaster
General, was brought about by the re-
port of Inspector Smith, who came to
Savannah some weeks ago and remain
ed here investigating matters until
week ago.
AS soon as the carriers received no
tice of their discharge they got in
communication with Judson Lyons,
and as a result of his efforts on their
behalf, the dismissal was held up I'M
til further investigation of the mat
ter can be made. This investigation,
it is probable, will be made by some
other inspector who may be sent to
Savannah for that purpose.
The men were dismissed on the fol-
lowing charges: Webster, for physical
disability; Lafayette, for making short
time on his round; and Peasants for
lettering.
These charges were made against
the men before Inspector Smith left the
city and the carriers were required to
answer the charges in writing, which
they did. The men will probably con-
tinue their work until the matter has
been again Investigated and definitely
settled.
Postmaster Blum was at Tybee last
night and could not be seen about the
dismissals and no one at the Post
office would say anything about the
affair. 1t has been known for some
time that an investigation was being
made, and the rumor was that sew
eral carriers were to be dismissed
The holding up of the dismissals of
Webster. Lafayette and Pleasant. for
rehearing adds interest to the mat
ter.

DOWN ON THE CHINEE.
COIOred VirngO Who Smnshes Their
Shops Whenever She Gets n Chance.

A colored woman who seems to have
a penchant for doing up Chinese and
wrecking their workshops was locked
up yesterday. At the barracks she
gave the name of Mamie Lee, but De-
tective Murphy who made the arrest
says her proper title is Cassie White.
She created considerable disorder in
the neighborhood of the Union depot
and even at the barracks she could not
keep her tongue still and soundly
berated the police and particularly the
arresting officer. The woman was
drunk, but the principal charge against
her is malicious mischief.
August Is she went into the store of
Charley Wong and proceeded to put
him out of business by doing all she
could to destroy his stock in trade
Her last offense was committed yester-
day in the place of Chu Sing also on
West Broad. With a will and any
amount of vigor she lit into the place
and left it looking as If it had been
visited by a cyclone. She smashed
everything breakable and took the
laundry bundles from the shelves,
scattering them right and left.
When the officer arrived on the scene,
she was not willing to go and filled
the air with abuse until he forced her
to shut up.

Johnston afterward paid the debt
thus releasing himself of all obliga-

on his friend Berrien to make good
his promise and again give him the
property. Berrien refused the demand

Johnston elected from the tenancy.

ROADWAY OR NO ROADWAY.
Council May So Decide About Emmett
Park This Afternoon.

A meeting of the Committee of the
Whole of the City Council has been
called for this afternoon at o'clock,
when the question of the Improvement
of Emmett Park will be taken up and
discussed in all of its phases. 1t is eX-
pected that this discussion will prove
very interesting. because of the war
ring forces that have championed the
two causes, the one for roadway
through the park, and the other for no
roadway.
Though called as a meeting of the
Committee of the Whole. Acting Mayor
Dixon said yesterday that the discus
sion of the question will be open.
Hon. ]. Ferris Cam will be in at
tendance as the representative of the
property owners on the north side OF
the park, who want a roadway TO
skirt the bluff in order that they may
be afforded ready and easy access to
their property. w. w. Osborne, ESQ,
is to represent the residents of that
section of the city, who seem to be a
unit in the demand for mo roadway.
Mr.. James Mcbride is prominent
among the residents who want Emmett
Park to be strictly a park, with no
roadway embodied in the plan for its
improvement. He said yesterday that
it now seems to be the tendency among
the aldermen to adhere to the plan
that contemplates the improvement of
the park without the establishment of
a roadway.
An alderman seen was strongly of
the view expressed by Mr.. Mcbride.
There are others. however, who feel
that the attractiveness of the park
would not be interfered with by the
introduction of a bit of utility, such
as the roadway would prove for the
property owners who so earnestly de-
sire II.
1t is possible that a compromise may
be agreed upon, and that it will be
decided to run a roadway for part
of the way along the bluff.
The Emmett Park question has Gre
ated an interest that will cause many
to await the action of Council with
some eagerness. An alderman said
that he believes that the matter has
assumed an Importance among many
of the people that will make it an is
sue in the next municipal campaign.

LAY GROANING IN STREET.
While Fleeing Negro Gave Suspicion
of Foul Play.

A deaf and dumb negro lying on the
sidewalk grooming as if in great pain
and a vision of another negro fleeing
from the spot caused some excitement
at East Broad and Hartridge streets
about 1880 this morning.
About that time Mr.. M. ]. Berry who
lives nearby looking out of his win
dow, saw a negro man run swiftly
along the north side of Hartridge street
and turn out into Gwinnett. A mo-
ment after he heard a grooming and
gurgling sound and saw a PROSTATE
figure near the spot where he had first
seen the runner. He at once suspected
foul play and telephoned the police.
Detective Davis was sent to the scene
on a wheel.
The man, who was lying across the
sidewalk, was moaning and all efforts
to get him to talk were fruitless and
nothing could be ascertained until Mr..
Berry recognized him as a deaf and
dumb boy 10 or 20 years old. He had
several hymn books and on one of these
he managed to scribble that he was
very sorrowful sick" and that he
lived at 81 Vine street. He then made
a pantomimic representation of being
sick at stomach and lay down again.
He would not or could not write any
thing further. The officer telephoned
for the ambulance and he was removed
to the address given.
When getting into the ambulance the
man seemed to be weak and tottered
as if drunk, but there was no appear
ance of liquor and Mr.. Berry said that
he had never known the boy to drink
anything stronger than water.

BOARD OF TRADE WILL ACT.

Transportation Committee Will
Take Up Increased Transfer Rates.
The Savannah Board of Trade will
take up the matter of the increase in
transfer charges on cars that will be
made by the railroads entering Sa-
vannah on Sept. l. President D. G.
Purse of the Board of Trade said yes
terday that the Transportation Com
mittee of the organization will make
an investigation.
Capt. Purse considers that the new
attitude of the railroads in demanding
an increase in the charges results from
the change in Rule 25 by the Railroad
Commission. This change was SIREN
uously opposed by the Board of Trade.
but without effect. The Railroad
Commission voted for it, Judge
Spencer Atkinson was quoted after the
adoption of the amendment to the
rule, Capt. Purse said, as questioning
the ability of the commission to make
the railways adhere to it.

A. C. LIS BIG EXCURSION.
Brought LOO Visitors From Georgia
AMI Florida Towns.

dhh 1OWnSs
The Atlantic Coast Line brought a
big excursion to Savannah yesterday.
The expectations of the passenger de-
partment were that there would be
$50 passengers, and arrangements
were made for the accommodation of
about that number 1t was found,
however, that Savannah as an excur-
sion point has even more attractions
than were suspected. and the crowd
brought in numbered LOO.
The people came from Jacksonville
and Albany and intermediate points.
The majority were from Albany and
from along the line of the Brunswick
and Western between Jesup and AL
bany. There were fifteen coaches,
and two baggage cars for the accom-
mediation of the passengers. and they
had to crowd into the aisles. All
were in a good humor, however, and,
the weather being comparatively pleas
ant, there were no complaints.
The limit of the tickets expires to-
morrow, so that two full days in Sa-
vannah are allowed. Many of the Wis
itors came prepared to do their shop
ping, so that the merchants will reap
the usual advantage that comes to
them from the visits of the excursion
lists.

Rev. j. A. Smith and Delegation OF
Ladies' to Visit Emma DeLoach.

Ladies' to Visit Emma DeLOach.
Rev. ]. A. Smith. pastor of Epworth
Methodist Church, despite his failure
to see Emma DeLoach Sunday, an &C
count of his failure having appeared
in yesterdays Morning News, is still
determined to see the woman and dis
cover by having talk with her, If she
be worthy of the effort that is being
made to secure her an entrance to
some home. where, under different
conditions. she may have the oppor-
tunity and the incentive to reform.
When next he visits the Poor Farm.
where the woman is, Mr.. Smith will
have a permit from some County Com
missioner, and he may be accompanied
by several ladies who have interested
themselves in the case and who will
assist Mr.. Smith in getting the wo-
man into other and what should be
more congenial surroundings.
Mr.. Smith made no official report to
the County Commissioners of what
he considered his discourteous treat
ment Sunday at the hands of the guard
at the Farm. He tried to see Mr.. A.
Vetsburg, one of the committee in
charge of this part of the county's
work, and intended making the report
10 MIN, out MI. NetSDurS is out OF the
city. Mr.. Smith did mention the
matter to one of the other members
of the Board. however, who stated
that he understood of course that the
guard could not under his orders al
low anyone in the enclosure without
permit, but he saw no reason for
refusing the use of the phone.
AT the office of the County Com
missioners, it was stated that the guard
acted in the matter strictly in accOr-
dance with the rules of the commits
sioners and that had he done other
than he did he would have made him

WITH FANS AND LIGHTS.
Dining Cars on the Southern Rail-

Dining Cars on the Southern Rail-
way Are Being Equipped.
The Southern Railway is fitting all
it's dining cars with electric lights
and fans. Some of the cars have al
ready been equipped with the cleo
trical apparatus and the work is be-
ing pushed as fast as the cars can be
sent to the shops.
Dining car No. 121, now in service
between Greensboro, N. c., and Mont
gomery on the Washington and South
western limited, is equipped with the
fans and lights and in consequence the
patrons of this train always rejoice
when they learn that this car is on the
run.
The electricity is furnished from a
dynamo which gets it's power from the
car axles. The lights are a great i'm
provement over the gas lights gener-
ally in use, While the fans not only
increase the pleasure of travel in hot
weather, but enable the road to keep
its cars in a comfortable condition
during the winter months when the ex-
cessive dryness caused by the steam
heat often makes the cars feel "stuffy.''

UNDER GIANT WHEEL
COLORED MAN CAUGHT BETWEEN
FLY WHEEL AND FLOORING.
AT ELECTRIC POWER HOUSE.
WAS CLEANING THE WHEEL WHEN
1T BEGAN TO MOVE.

Had Climbed on One of the SpOkes
ertia-Struck the Floor Twice BE-
fore the Wheel StOpped-His Body
Badly Crushed and the Neck BrOL-
en-LOw About Fifty Years Old
and Had Been With the Company
Six Months.
Caught between the floor in the In
dian street power house of the Savan-
nah Electric Company and a fly wheel,
which he had started in motion by his
own weight, George Low, colored, met
instant death yesterday morning about
8 o'clock. When the great wheel was
stopped by the contact of the man and
the flooring his body was crushed in
pieces. The neck was broken and the
limbs were bent and twisted.
The accident was. a peculiar one.
Low, who was about so years old, was
employed in the boiler and engine room
of the power house and when he met
his death was cleaning and fixing the
machinery, as he had been doing for
the six months or so that he has been
in the companys employ. He was
cleaning the fly wheel of the great
compound Corliss engine and had
climbed up one of the spokes, presum-
ably to better reach some part of it,
When near the top his weight started
the wheel and it began to revolve.
Once started, it turned with sufficient
momentum to throw the man upon the
top or rim and turn half way round.
The wheel is set in the floor, or
rather the floor is built around the
whele with an open space of approx
imately 10 inches, so that in a half
revolution, situated as Low was at the
time it started, his body would meet
the floor twice, before the arc would
be completed.
He was probably instantly killed,
for those around him, only few feet
distant, heard but one cry and that
faint one. When he struck the floor
the first time it was pushed up and
broken where Lows body went
through. When the contact came on
the other side part of his body
was dragged up, the head and legs
remaining. The wheel then stopped
and those around rushed to Lows res
cue. But he was beyond human aid.
The body was removed to the I'M
dertaking establishment of Fox &
Weeks and will be buried to-day from
Lows home at Habersham and Jones
lane. The coroner decided that no in
quest would be necessary.

BISHOP KElLEY'S REQUEST.
Means PapaI Delegate Would Settle
All Questions.

A dispatch in yesterdays Morning
News stated that Right Reverend B.
]. Kelley, bishop of Savannah, in an
audience with the Pope few days
before leaving Rome, had urged upon
the Pope the wishes of large num-
Der of American bishops for the eman-
cipation of American Catholicism from
the jurisdiction of the Congregation of
the Propaganda at Rome, on the
ground that the Congregation was in
tended only to supervise religious af-
fairs in infidel regions.
Such a request. said Rev Father
Robert F. Kennedy in speaking of the
matter yesterday, is no new thing, and
If granted, would mean practically that
all matters concerning the government
of the church in this country would
be referred for final settlement to the
papal delegate at Washington, instead
of being taken before the Congregation
of the Propaganda as at present. The
advantages to be derived from such
an arrangement would mean that there
would be a quicker settlement of any
matters that might arise.
