NEW FIRE ALARM BOX.
Recommended at Brightwood Avenue
and Piney Branch Road.

Mr. Robert w. Dutton, chief engineer Of
the fire department. has forwarded to the
Commissioners petition from number
of residents in the vicinity of Brightwood
avenue and Piney branch road, North
Brightwood, asking that a fire alarm box
be placed at the intersection of the streets
for greater safety in case of fires in that
section About twenty-five frame houses
are located in close proximity to this point.
and in case of sudden fire the petitioners
believe great loss of life and property
would result from delay in notifying the
nearest fire engine company.
Chief Dutton has also returned to the
Commissioners an application made by
Messrs. Yoder. Cuen & Co. for general
permit to build fires on vacant ground for
the purpose Of giving practical tests of
their patent fire extingutshers. Chief Dut-
ton has reported that the fire department
cannot recommend the granting of a gen.
eral permit for the purpose in question.
The department recommended that the an
plicant be informed that applications for
such permits should specifically set forth
the times and places at which it is desired
to give such exhibitions.

four for assault with intent to muir

breaking into a railroad car. and re-
turned one mo BILL
There was considerable interest
around the Court House in the visit
of Rev. Baseom Anthony and Sheriff
Schwarz to the grand jury room. 1t
was of course pretty well understood
that whatever Rev. Mr.. Anthony had
to say was about the gamblers, and
the fact that the Solicitor General, by
direction of the grand jury, requested
Judge Barrow at the close of the ses-
SION to instruct the sheriff to enforce
order about the Court House, and par
ticularly during the progress of regis
tration in the tax collectors office, gave
the impression that the grand jury had
something to say to the sheriff about
his duty on that line. Judge Barrow
remarked rather positively in refer
ence to the grand jury's request that
he had already given the sheriff his in
structions as to preserving order.
The first Indictment returned was
that of Jim Dupree for the murder Of
his wife, Sadie Dupree. near the new
guano works below the city, last No
vember. Dupree stabbed his wife to
death through jealousy and fed from
the state. He was later arrested In
Jacksonville by Deputy Sheriff Swee-
ney.
Clifford Williams. colored boy
about fourteen years old, was indict-
ed for assaulting with intent to muir
der, Cupid JonesN another colored boy
about the same age. The Williams
boy chased the other with a knife and
stabbed him under the arm. He was
arrested and is still in Jail. The
wounded boy was sent at once to the
Georgia Infirmary and was able, with
difficulty on account of his wound, to
go before the grand jury as a witness.
The ARRAY took place in Frogtown
three weeks ago.
Harris Squires was indicted for as
sault with intent to murder on George
Gadsden by stabbing him with a knife.
Simpson GraYson was indicted for
shooting Robert Grayson; Joseph Rob
inson was indicted for stabbing John

TRACK ACROSS EAST BROAD.
Savannah Locomotive Works Wants
Right to Build One.

Right to Build One.
The Savannah Locomotive Works
and Supply Company wants to remove
it's plant from Wheaton street to a
location on Charlton street, between
East Broad and Price streets. To ia
cilitate the conduct of it's business at
the new location, however-in fact, to
make the change possible-it will be
necessary that permission be secured
from the city to run a railway track
across East Broad street, from the
Plant System yards, and distance of
100 feet or more on Charlton street.
President ]. J. McDonough of the
company has petitioned the City Coun-
Gil to grant the privilege for the con-
struction of this track. The petition
will be submitted at the meeting of
that body tonight, and will be re-
ferred to the Committee on Streets
and Lanes for a report.
Mr.. McDonough was seen last night
about the contemplated move, He said
that it, was necessary to change the
location of the plant because of the
arrival of new machinery, with which
it is to be enlarged and perfected. The
present site is not sufficiently large
for the accommodation of the COM
pany's business. Mr.. McDonough
owns the Charlton street property. He
decided that he would utilize it, if the
consent of the city authorities to the
construction of the track could be Sc
cured

number of the new poles erected
on the bluff at Thunderbolt during
the last day or two by the Savannah
Electric Company were chopped down
last night by a force of men. The work
of undoing what had bene done by the
street railway company was completed
shortly before midnight.
The work of cutting down the poles
was done under the direction of the
dissatisfied owners of bluff property,
who claimed that the company had
trespassed on their land. The polls

down, but Mr. Ambos refused to talk
about 1t. He stated that certain poles
had been erected on his property and
he had seen fit to have them cut down.
He had no further explanations to
make and said that he had asked per-
mission of no one before he had 1t
done. Four poles were cut down in
front of his place.
The owners of bluff property contend
that the Objectionable poles were put
up on private property in anticipation
of the laying of double tracks along the
bluff. General Manager G. o. Maggie of
the street railway company, says that
this is not true. The poles were put up
to replace old ones, he said, and as
part of the plan for a consolidation
with the Georgia Telephone and Tele
graph Company. The corporations en-
tered into an agreement to use the
same poles and those that were put up
were intended for use by both COM
panies.
The town marshall heard the chop
ping and hurried to the bluff to see
what was going on. The poles were
topping over one at a time, and he
hurried to a telephone and notified the
pany. Manager Maggie was also noti-
fed of what had happened but the
work had been finished before anything
could be done. No effort was made
last night by the street railway man
agement to secure legal redress for the
destruction OF the poles, but it is prob
able that the matter will be taken into
the courts to-day.
1t is not at all unlikely that the Sa-
vannah Electric Company will apply to
Judge Barrow for an injunction re-
straining the residents of the bluff
from further interfering with any poles
that may be erected The railway
company contends that the poles
are being put up in the public street,
under a franchise granted by Town
Council, and only for the purpose of re-
placing old poles. Manager Nagle stated
that the work is in the line of improve
ment and that not as many new poles
are used as old ones. The work of de-
struction last night was the beginning
of what promises to be lively and in
teresting fight

TO STOP ABUSIVE CONDUCT.
Grand Jury's Warming to Politicians
About Registration ONCE.


The grand jury took steps yesterday
to put a stop to the abusive conduct
by the politicians in the county regis
tration office. Two indictments were
submitted to the grand jury, against
James Mcbride and John j. Garrity
for cursing Registration Clerk Schreck
and using foul and abusive language in
the tax collectors office.
The grand jury did not return the
indictments but the solicitor general
was instructed to notify the parties
against whom they were drawn, that
in the event of a repetition of the
offense with which they are charged,
the indictments will stand against
them.
The solicitor general in max
ing the announcement in open
court. also announced that the grand
jury had instructed that proof of any
abusive or profane conduct about the
Court House, and particularly in the
registration office during the progress
of registration, would result in the in
dictment of the offenders.
Tax Collector Thompson and Regis
tration Clerk Shrek were before the
grand jury. 1t is the understanding
that they did not desire the prosecution
of Mcbride and Clarity if there is any
likelihood of stopping the abuse and
profanity that has been turned loose
around the registration office. The
grand jury was of the opinion that it
is the sheriff's duty to preserve order
in the Court House and this was also
brought to the attention of Judge Bar
row, who stated that he had already
given instructions to the sheriff to that
effect

WON'T TALK OF EXTRACTION.
Erwin Back From Washington and
Developments Expected.

United States District Attorney Mar
ion Erwin returned to Savannah yes
terday from Washington, where, short
ly after the whereabouts of Greene and
Gaynor became known, he went for
the purpose of consulting the attor-
ney general relative to securing the
fugitives by extradition.
Mr.. Erwin was seen yesterday by a
Morning News reporter, but he had
nothing to say about the Greene Gay
nor case, or what had been the result
of his visit to Washington and con-
ference with the authorities. Rela-
tive to his visit to Savannah. he said
that it is for the purpose of fixing
up a little business that his hurried
departure had caused him to leave
unfinished, and that so soon as it is
attended to he will go to Macon.
Though Mr.. Erwin was reticent it
is generally understood that the gov
eminent has determined upon the
course that it will pursue to secure
Greene and Gaynor. The absence of
the Attorney General from Washing
ton adds force to this assumption, and
even If this corroborative evidence
were lacking Mr.. Erwin's refusal to
talk, usually a sign that something's
afoot, would lead the initiated to ex-
pect sensational Developments with
in the next few DAYS.

This witness is Robert Parker, a ne
gro who saw the killing at Sunnyside
and whose evidence, as 1t was given at
the coroners inquest. the state princi-
pally relies upon to secure verdict of
guilty.
Within few days after the inquest
Parker started out on fishing trip in
the direction of Ossabaw island and,
according to his wifes story, has not
been in the city since. His exact
whereabouts is not known and the
sheriff's officers have not been able to
locate him. A chase after him in a
steam launch is one of the probable de-
velopments of the next few days. as
without him the state cannot go safely
to trial.
