WILL ERECT LINE ANYHOW.
Postal Telegraph Co. to Condemn
s. A. l.. Right of Way.

By a suit in the Superior SQUIRT, the
Postal Telegraph and Gable Company
is seeking to condemn so much land
along the right-of-way of the Seaboard
Air Line between Savannah and
point I05 miles south, and on the Flor
ida line as will be necessary for the
erection of a telegraph line. 1t is re-
cited in the proceedings that the rail-
road company has refused to negotiate
with the Postal Company for the cree
ton of the line on the grounds that
they already have an exclusive con-
tract with the Western Union Tele-
graph Company.
The Postal Company announces its
intention of condemning only so much
of the line as is absolutely necessary,
and say that it only wishes to acquire
an easement. The company's agents
say they will acquiesce in any reason
able request, and will build under~
ground lines, If asked to, at the points
where ii may become necessary to
cross the railway. They name Col
Jordan f. Brooks as their assessor, to
fix the amount of damage resultant
from the condemnation, and ask that
the hearing in the matter be had on
Oct. l. in the office of the ordinary.
The condemnation notice was filed by
Garrard & Meldrim

TO BE MEMORIAL CHAPEL.
BY COnEre cation Mickva Israel in
Honor of a 1enefactOr.

The memorial chapel to the memory
of Mordecai Sheftall, which is now be-
ing erected by the Congregation of the
Temple Mickva Israel, is rapidly near
ing completion and will be quite fin
ished, it is expected, by the early part
of November.
The chapel stands to the rear of the
temple, occupying the space formerly
the site of the Sunday-school room
which has, in fact, partly entered into
the structure of the chapel, of which
the use, viii be in the greater part, the
same as that of the Sunday-school
ROOM The new structure, Of which
Mr.. H. w. Witcover is the architect
and Mr.. j. r. Eason the builder, fol-
lows closely the architectural plans of
the temple itself.
The old Sunday-school room was en-
tirely too small for the large and
growing needs of the Sunday-school
and this made it necessary that a new
building he secured. This new Struc-
ture was planned in honor of Mr..
Sheftall because Of the signal benefits
he had conferred on the congregation
of the Temple. Many years ago he be-
queathed to it a large plot of land sit
uated near the site of the Union depot,
this property to be used either for a
NSlClCly vi lUI SyHdBOSueI dCCOTQ-
ing to the needs of the congregation
A part of it was used as a cemetery,
and now forms a part of the Jewish
hurying ground. When the rights of
way for the depot were being secured,
however, another part of the property
was sold for that purpose, and it was
the proceeds of this sale that made It
possible to erect the new building So
it was named in honor of Mr. Sheftall
as the source of the original gift.
AS at present planned, there will be
no special dedication service when the
chapel is completed. 1t will simply be
turned over to the uses of the Sun
day-school, and will be further used
for such meetings of the various ben
evolent associations as We're formerly
held in the old structure.

LEFT HER WITHOUT CAUSE.
And So Mrs. Gertrude Arnatt Is Ask
ing for AIinIOny.

Complaining that her husband.
George A. Arnatt, has deserted her and
her infant child and refuses to furnish
them the bare necessities of life, Mrs
Gertrude Arnatt filed her application
for alimony in the Superior Court yes
terday morning.
She alleges in her petition that she
married Arnett Dec. 10, 1900, and she
has always been a dutiful. faithful
and affectionate wife, but on Sunday
last her husband deserted her without
any cause and against her will. and
has not returned. She says that owing
to the fact that she has to remain at
home and nurse her infant. and that
she is feeble, she is unable by her own
efforts to make living either for her
self or her child.
Her husband, she says, is young and
vigorous, and is in the employ of the
city, from which he receives a salary
of $40 a month, and but for his vicious
disposition, is amply able to maintain
her and their child. She says that she
has no property except her wearing
apparel, and asks the court to compel
her husband to contribute to her sup
port. She wants temporary alimony
granted her, pending her application
for permanent alimony.
Judge Barrow ordered that the hus-
band show cause before him next
Tuesday, why falimonY should not be
granted Mrs, Arnatt is represented by

FOR POISONING PIGEONS.
MIR. C. +. keilbach in Justice Court
Bound Over to Keep the Peace.

MIR. c. +. keiIbach in Justice Court
Bound Over to Keep the Peace.
For poisoning his neighbours pig
cons, Mr.. Charles f. Keilbach was be-
fore Justice Richard Wickham yester-
day afternoon on warrant taken out
by Mr.. Morris Lepinski, charging him
with malicious mischief. Another war
rant requiring him to keep the peace
was also sworn out.
At the hearing Lepinski was repre-
sented by Mr.. Gordon Saussy and the
defense by Mr.. ]. r. Cain. The evil
dence which was circumstantial was
that they We're spelling and defiling
the roof of his house and that iae had
asked that they be killed or so penned
up that they could no longer get 70 his
property. He had said that II they
We're allowed at large he would poison
them.
Shortly after this the birds which
We're not penned up began to die at an
alarming rate and Mr.. Lepinski
thought Mr.. Keilhacn had made good
his threat. He then swore out the war
rant. Two more of the pigeons died
yesterday afternoon, making IL in all
that had keeled over and given up the
ghost.
Judge Wickham decided that the
statute on malicious mischief did not
embrace pigeons and he dismissed the
case, but bound Mr.. Keilbach in the
sum of 500 to keep the peace and
cease interference with his neighbours

TOMAKE ROUND BALE.
A NEW PLANT HAS BEEN PUT IN
BY PLANTERS COMPRESS co.
WILL BEGIN WORK NEXT WEEK
ONE PRESS TO BE USED WITH CA
PACITY OF FIFTY BALES A DAY.

Plant Installed to Bale Cotton That
Is Received in Small LOts-This
Receives the Same Treatment Ac-
corded Mt Lowry Ginneries Except
Thnt II Is Not acknowledgements
Co. Expects to Concentrate 100000
Bales Mt This Port This Season.
Warehouse of Concern, for Which
Charter VIII Soon BE Granted, Not
to BE Built This SensOn.
The converting plant of the Planters
Compress Company, the local repre-
sentatives of the Lowry round bale in
terests, has been almost completed, so
nearly so that it is expected it will be-
gin operations Monday or Tuesday.
The wharf has been established in one
of the warehouses of the Atlantic
Coast Line at Gordon wharf. Its pur-
pose is to prepare the small and mis-
cellaneous lots of cotton purchased. so
that they can be put into round bale
of standard size.
This size is $50 pounds. A Lowry
bale press forms a part of the outfit
of the plant and has a capacity of fifty
bales a day. The loose cotton to be
worked over is put through the same
process that it is put through at the
company's ginneries, except that it is
not reginned.
The Lowry Bale Warehouse Com
pany, which was organized a short
time ago and of which the charter will
be received within a few days, will
not begin building this year, as it is
now too late in the cotton season. For
the present 1t will use one of the At
lantic Coast Line warehouses, at Cor
don wharf, but probably will begin
building in time to be prepared for the
next seasons crop.
The manager of Planters Compress
Company expects to ship through this
port this season, or, rather, to gather
at this port about 100000 bales.
Though still early in the cotton sea-
son his firm has, he says, bought cot
ton to the amount of $4,000.

IF ROOSEVELT COMES
CITY WILL TAKE CHARGE OF
GREENE BURIAL,
OTHERWISE 1T WILL NOT
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE HAS
REACHED THAT DECISION.

Council Decided in Caucus That an
Invitation should BE Extended the
Prcsident-If He Accepts, the City
Council VIII Assume Complete
Charge of the Funeral Arrange
ments and VIII Defray the EN-
pense-If He Declines, the Ar
ranGements for the Funeral VIII
Revert 10 the Committees of the
Patriotic Observation-Disclosures viii
BE Sent at Once.
The City Council will invite President
Roosevelt to attend the funeral of
Gen. Nathaniel Greene. If the Presi-
dent accepts the invitation, the city
will assume complete charge and con-
troll of the ceremonies and will defray
the expense of the refinement of the
honored remains beneath the Greene
monument in johnson Square.
If the President does not accept the
invitation of the city, the City Coun-
Gil will not concern itself further with
the funeral, but win permit the whole
matter to revert to the committees
from the patriotic societies, by which
it was referred to Council.
This decision was reached at a meet
ing of the Committee of the Whole of
Council yesterday afternoon. The
meeting was quite fully attended, and
all of the aldermen seemed to concur
in the agreement reached.
1t is said that an invitation to the
President and his cabinet will be sent
to Washington at once, as there is not
very much time remaining before the
date in November that has been prac-
tically settled upon for the event.
Since Council has determined to take
part only in the event of the Presi-
dents acceptance, it is desired that it
may learn as speedily as possible what
his answer will be. In the event that
1t should be favorable, many arrange
ments must be made by Council.
Should it be unfavorable the sooner
the committees from the patriotic So
cieties become acquainted with the
fact, the more satisfactory 1t will be
to Them as they will have to con-
duct the arrangements.
The President will accept, it is be-
heved. He will doubtless consider the
occasion one demanding the presence
of the chief official of the country for
which Gen. Greene fought.

TWO MILLIONS OF ORANGES.
Eaten by savanpahians Yearly.
Fig<t Consignment Arrived.


Savannahians eat about 100000 or
anges annually. Small wonder. then,
that inquiries as to when oranges will
be ripe have been so numerous lately.
The consumer will be glad to know
that the fruit is here already, twelve
days in advance of the earliest con-
signment last year.
The first large consignment was re-
ceived yesterday by w. D. Simkins &
Co, and consists of ten boxes of the
favorite Florida fruit 1t is fully de-
veloped, and while not thoroughly col
ored, is in a good eatable condition.
The entire consignment has already
been sold.
The early demand for the Florida or
ange crop and the desire to put the
product on the market in competition
to the early foreign importations, has
caused more time and attention to be
given to the early cultivation of the
fruit in Florida, and of recent years
the time for the advent of the orange
IN the home market has been getting
earlier each year.
Early reports were that the orange
crop this season would be much larger
than it was last but the outlook is now
that the output will be about the same.
Indeed, the orange growers say that
they will be satisfied now if the sea-
sons product is as large. The hot, dry
weather in July and August caused
the young oranges to drop, and appre-
ciably curtailed the prospects for an
unusually large crop.
The grape fruit was very popular
last season, and bids fair to be even
more so this year. sit is a later fruit
than the orange, but makes up for lost
time by holding its own for several
weeks after the exodus of it's smaller
kinsman. Orange season lasts gener-
ally from September to April though
the season has started a trifie sooner
this year than is usually the case. De-
cember is the banner month for the
producer, dealer and consumer alike.
Of the two million, and more, oranges
eaten annually by the population of
Savannah it is safe to say that half
of that number is eaten during the
HOLIDAYS

A REPLY TO CAPT. HOPE.
Will BE Made by Members of the
Georgia Sea Gtrt Team.


Maj. w. w Williamson was captain
of the Georgia team that shot at Sea
Girt in 1899, and which was defraud-
ed of its rights. He read the diatribe
of Capt. George Hope of the Governors
Horse Guard, but when seen about the
matter, was not then ready to make
reply. Mai. Williamson said that he
thought that an answer to capt. Hope
should be made, and that he would
confer with Col. George t. Cam upon
the matter when the latter returns
from the North.
Capt. Hope said in Atlanta. in addi-
ton TO what has appeared in the
Morning News:
THE facts are, that when applica-
ton was made TO the Governor by the
writer and other members of the Horse
Guards, for permission to go to Sea
Girt, he replied: Let your application
come up through the regular military
channel and it shall have prompt and
careful consideration In accordance
with this suggestion, it was sent up
through the regular channel, and when
1t reached the adjutant general, it bore
the Endorsement of the colonel COM
handing, respectfully forwarded, adju-
tant general without recommendation,
but the colonel neither approved nor
disapproved it. In this shape it reach
ed the adjutant general. That officer
approved it, and when presented to
him, the Governor also approved it.
1T is true the inspector general of
rifle practice, to whom it was present
ed at the suggestion of Gov. Gambler,
not as a matter of right, but of court
esy Cbecause he is not commanding
but only a staff officer). declined to
approve it, but it was a matter con-
corning which he has no legal right to
speak, because he is not the command
or in chief nor even a subordinate COM
handing officer. If his will is to be
supreme military law. the constitution
and the code should be changed so as
to clothe him with dictatorial powers
in all military matters"

ROBBED A PAWN SHOP.
Negro Entered During Busy Hours
and Got on with Lot of Pledges,

John Brown, colored. aged and APP
parently feeble, was arrested by De-
tective Wall yesterday afternoon as
suspicious character. Later it was
proved to the officers satisfaction that
Brown is the thief who robbed Alex
ander's pawn shop some days ago.
During the busy hours he entered
the place and snatched up a number
of bundles and made his escape. Just
how much he really did get is not vet
known, as most of the stuff was wrap
ped UP for protection, being pledges
awaiting claimants, but along with sew
eral dress patterns he made a good
haul of other articles.
The detective has been on the look
out for the thief ever since and caught
him near the market. Green, accused
of being partner of Browns, was
arrested by Detective Stark several
days ago.
