TO COMPLETE
LOUISVILLE ROAD.
County Commissioners to Be Asked
to Extend Paving to BIoOmingdaIe.

County Commissioners to Be Asked
to Extend Paving to BIOOmingdale.
A petition is being talked of among
the residents of Pooler, BloomingNale
and other points on the west end of
the Louisville road, to be presented to
the County Commissioners, asking that
the county finish the paving of the
Louisville road, between Pooler and
the bingham county line.
The Louisville road. between Savan-
nah and Pooler, was hard surfaced
some time ago. at which time the COM
missiOners contemplated the surfacing
TO the county line. This work has
never been undertaken, and it is for
the completion of the proposed work
that the residents of the western part
of the county expect to appeal to the
commissioners.
Those who are behind the petition
maintain that the extension of the road
would mean a benefit to the county
and the city. The road between Pooler
and Bloomingdale is sandy, necessitat-
ing slow travel.
1t is not known what action the
commissioners will take. 1t was their
intention at the time the road was
hard surfaced to extend the work at
an opportune time. In fact, it is the
purpose of the commissioners to ex
tend the hard surfacing on all of the
main roads leading from the city, as
far as the county line.
Neither the Ogeechee, or the Au-
gusta roads have been surfaced to
the county line, but lack about the
same distance as does the Louisville
road. This work the county had not
expected to undertake until the work
mapped out and now in process of con-
struction is completed. The county
forces are now engaged in hard sur
facing LaRoche and Dale Avenues,
there being about eight miles of the
work in prospect. Before the work in
this section is completed the commits
sioners expect to get a circuit all the
way round Isle of Hope and back to the
city.
This work necessitates the expendl-
ture of a large amount of money and
the employment of a large force of
convicts. The county has, therefore,
very little in excess which will be avail
able for other work. A great many
convicts are now working in Pipemaker
swamp, digging a canal and work.
ing on a fiood-gate at the entrance
of Pipemaker creek with the Savannah
river.
All of this work is being pushed as
rapidly as practicable and it is thought
that the county will be in a position to
take up other work when it is COM
pleted, but at present there is neither
the fund nor the labor available for
the purpose. The petition of the resi-
dents of Pooler and BlOomingdale has
rot yet been made up, though it's char
acter might induce the commissioners
to make an exception to Their present
schedule Of work

RECORDER WAS SEVERE.
Large Number of Prisoners Were
Fined the Usual Sums.

Yesterdays session of Police Court
lasted for nearly three hours, and more
cases were disposed of than on Christ
mas Eve. Despite the fact that the
majority of the offenders had been cell
ebrating Christmas, Recorder Myrick
accepted no excuses and imposed the
usual fines.
Hagar Gordon and Ella Mcintosh,
the work hands who LEFT the police
station house without permission, and
who got drunk, had no excuse to of
fer They had simply decided that it
would be nice to spend Christmas on
the streets, even though they suffered
afterwards for their fun. They had
been out only a short while when they
went to the bad and were placed under
arrest. Hagar got fifteen additional
days and Ella had thirty days added
to her sentence.

White Man Threate ned to XIII But
WAS Placed Under Arrest.

dAf.5AA
Breathing defiance and seemingly in
earnest, w. T. Archer, a white man,
was covered by Patrolman Meldrim
yesterday afternoon and forced to take
a trip to the police station house,
Complaint had been made at police
headquarters that Archer was abusing
his wife in their home near Haber-
sham and Broughton streets. officer
Meldrim was hurried to the place.
Archer declared that he would kill the
patrolman if he attempted to enter his
home. He threw his hand to his hip
pocket, but Meldrim got the drop on
his man.
The patrolman made the arrest, and
found when he searched his prisoner
that he had only fork in his hip
pocket. He was, however, armed with
a razor. At the station house Archer
was charged with being drunk and dis
orderly, and cursing, abusing and
threatening to kill an officer in the dis
charge of his duty. The trouble occa-
stoned considerable excitement in the
neighborhood in which it occurred.
Archer will be arraigned before Re
corder Myrick in Police Court this
morning.

NURSES LECTURE COURSE.
Physicians Will Lecture to Attaches
of Three Hospitals at Once.

The Nurses Training Schools at the
Savannah Hospital and the Telfair
Hospital will, in the future, attend to-
gether the semi-weekly lectures of the
physicians who have in charge the in
struction of the two schools. This
course was decided on as one of mu-
tual benefit, the advantages of which
will be reaped by the instructors and
scholars alike.
The lectures will be held as usual,
the place of holding them being, alter
nately, the City Hospital and the Tel
fair Hospital. The nurses from the
Georgia lntirmary, though not engaged
in the same work as those of the other
two institutions, will be given the ad-
vantage of the lecture course, they hav-
ing been invited to attend the semi
weekly lectures.
There will be no actual combination
OF the two schools. The tendency in
both schools has, since their origin
been toward three-years course
Such a course. similar to the approved
course, and the one in use at Johns
Hopkins, has been instituted in both
institutions. The present system is an
excellent one, affording opportunity
for the acquisition of a wide and thor
ough knowledge of the art of nursing.

WILL BE A FIGHT
FOR SERGEANT'S STRIPES.
Several Patrolmen VIII Ask TO BE
MINED TO FIJI vacancy.


1t is not probable that the vacancy
coused by the death of Police Desk
Sergeant Henry Lingg will be filled un-
til after the city election. During the
illness of the police officer mounted
Patrolman Michael McQuade acted as
sergeant on the streets, and Mounted
Sergeant Joseph McCool was put on
the desk.
The police sergeants are named by
the Mayor. While it is likely that
there will be a half dozen candidates
for the office only three have been
mentioned at this time, and all are
mounted men. Patrolman Pat Eivers
is being backed strongly by the South
Side Administration Club and the MEM
bers of that organization win fight for
his appointment. The friends of officer
Tom Murphy are also hard at work
and he is known to have the backing
of strong ward organization Patrol
man Tom Fogarty is also being pushed
to the front by club that has a
strong following. other candidates are
being groomed and the fight for the
appointment promises to be interest
ing.

Chicago, April TN the guise of a

clever use of grease, paint and hair

son of Mrs Lawrence Erikson, a dia-
mond merchant of Evanston, success

firms, and only for a mistake due to
his own carelessness might have sue

diamonds valued at $500 were Sc
cured by the youth, who, after intrust.
ing them with friends, all of whom
were ignorant of his deception, boldly

Greensboro, n. c., April IAN edu-
cational conference, whose practical
results as planned mean much for the
cause of education throughout the
state of North Carolina and the entire
south, is in session here. 1t is under

for the improvement of public schools
and is assisted by the Southern Edu-
cational board

d. McIyer constitute the executive
committee of the association.
The organization of women with a
view to Improvement of rural school
houses and grounds and the formation
of society for the building of better
schoolhouses in rural districts are
contemplated. The keynote of all the
speeches was the idea that it is time
the educationally stronger communi-

rural districts improve their school ia
cilities.

:" Purely Local.
Detroit, April THE principal gen.
eral interest in the city and township
elections which are being held in
Michigan today is at Grand Rapids,

crat, is seeking reelection to a third
term. Arthur r. Rood, who was nomi-
mated for the mayoralty by the Re-
publicans, died last Saturday from ty-
phoid fever. with which he was strick-

illness and death are said to have con-
siderably increased the chances of
Mayor Perry's reelection.
A strong fight has been made
against Perry because of the water
supply scandal, for completely in
which former City Attorney Salisbury
is serving term in prison. The issues
at stake in the various cities and
townships are purely local.
The question of wet" or dry" is
the dividing line in several places and
electric railway franchises are also an
issue in several different cities. The
spring election in Detroit was abol-
ished by the last legislature.
