Superintendent of Police Reilly re-
ceived a telephone message from Guy

cited resident of Bulloch county, who
had just made the discovery that he
was minus his pocketbook. He stated
that he had spent the night at a lodg-

One of the heaviest fines imposed
upon a single prisoner in long while
was inflicted upon Harriet Gardner,

denizen of the West Side, in Police
Court yesterday by Recorder Myrick
The woman was arrested by Patrol
man Lakewood for the theft of a
satchel and 50. 80 from Robert Edwards.
a negro resident of Montgomery coun-
ty. Recorder Myrick realized that there
would be some difficulty in securing a
conviction in a higher court, and de-
cided to punish the woman for viola
tions of the city ordinances.
When placed under arrest by Patrol
man Lakewood the woman fought
viciously, and an additional charge of
resisting arrest had been lodged against
her. She was fined $500 or thirty DAYS
on the Changing for disorderly con-
duct. and $50 or thirty days on the
chaingang for resisting arrest. When
sent to the station house the woman
gave the name of Lizzie Harris. another
resident of the West Side, well known
to the police, and her identity was not
discovered until she was arraigned in
court. Edwards had been held by the
police as witness against the woman
and was not given his liberty until the
case was disposed of by the recorder.

Street and Lane Committee viii
select Locations After the Con-
tract Has Been Ratihed-CounciI
Committee and President Baldwin
of Savannah Electric Company
Have Already Reached an Agree
ment.
At the meeting of City Council to-
night the new contract with the Savan-
nah Electric Company for city lights
for next year will probably be con-
firmed. The Street and Lane Commit
tee and President Baldwin of the Elec-
trio Company have already agreed upon
the number of lights and the cost.
The contract with the city calls for
$50 fifty-candle power lights on lamp
posts, and not less than 500 arch lights.
This will mean, in the opinion of MEM
bers of the committee, that Savannah
will be much better lighted next year.
The lamp post lights will in many cases
be more effective than the arch lights.
Particularly is this the case in parks
and squares where the branches of the
trees cut off the light. With the pow
erful incandescent lamps nearer the
ground it is expected that there will
be much more light.
There are at present 513 arch lights
in the city, and for these the city
pays $37 500. Thirteen of these lights
will be removed and the $50 lamp post
lights will take their place. The To-
cations of the various lights will be
left entirely in the hands of the Street
and Lane Committee. The committee
has not yet considered the question of
location, but will probably do so as
soon as Council has ratified the con-
tract.
So far as is known nothing else of
Importance will develop at to-night's
meeting of Council.

MORE SATURDAY
AFTERNOON CONCERTS.
First Regiment Band Wants Help
During Winter Months.

Beginning Saturday there is to be a
free concert i'm the Park Extension
every Saturday afternoon until further
notice, by the First Regimental Band.
The idea of the band management is
not only to let the people learn how
capable the band is but also to show
public spirit, an interest in the city,
that it is in hopes the people will re-
ciprocate in the way of assisting the
band and the orchestra, which is
part of it, with engagements or with
subscriptions, of which one or the
other is necessary to enable the Or
ganization to maintain itself during
the winter months.
The band has received some encour-
agement recently, especially from Col.
G. A. Gordon of the First Regiment,
who has presented the organization
With part of the new uniforms, which
are badly needed and which have al
ready been ordered, and has also given
II Few base drum. The band, unfor-
tunately, is not on q paying basis just
now, and wishes to make known its
conditions so that those who are or
should be interested in the welfare Of
such an institution may come 10 lis
aid.
Both the band and the orchestra are
under the direction of Scott Cameron,
late bandmaster of the Twenty-eighth
Infantry, u. S. A, who has recently
returned from the Philippines. There
are also other capable musicians in its
ranks, men Who have been connected
with such organizations as Liberatis
and Gilmore's bands.
The headquarters of the band and
the orchestra are at No. 10 Congress
street, west. Among the important
engagements that it has recently made
is contract to furnish a part of the
music of the programme at the laying
of the corner stone of the new Sacred
Heart Church, which is to take place

ScreVen House Help Struck but Later

The guests of the Screven House
came pretty near having a very in
teresting time in getting their dinner

had been discharged the thirteen re-
naming members of the dining room
force waited until about l O'Clock, just
when dinner was about ready. then
announced that they had quit.
At the same time they announced
that they wouldn't serve dinner but
later they changed their minds and
served that meal. though they went
out in body afterward. The manage
ment, satisfied that there would be
neither difficulty nor delay in replac-
ing the strikers, paid no particular at
tention to the strikers, but let them
go.
This wasn't quite what the men
counted on, apparently, for shortly af-
ter they left the building. they chang
ed their minds about giving up the
positions and before the management
had secured another set of walters, no.
titled the proprietor that they were

for n Shift in the Temperature.


for Shift in the Temperature.
1.-THE weather is on the change and
from this time on people of this city
and section may expect to have a
touch of winter" This was the pre-
diction made by Weather Forecaster
Boyer yesterday, and indications last
night verified his assertion.
According to reports received yester-
day by Mr.. Boyer a storm is central
in Tennessee, moving east by north
east in the Atlantic coast section, with
more than the usual intensity. While
the effects have and will be felt here it
is not thought that it full severity will
be felt here. However. warning is Civ
en- to navigators to be careful and
await further developments.
Last night and during yesterday slow
and light rains fell at intervals and
made a decided change in the weather.
To-day the thermometer will fall still
lower and the first real touch of winter
will be felt. Probably in the next
twenty-four hours the change will be
perceptible over all sections and the
summer weather will be a thing of the
past. The following is the Washing
ton forecast for this section:
Southwestern storm warming from
Jacksonville to Port Monroe and
northeast storm warning from Balti-
more to New York. Storm is central
in Tennessee and is moving east
northeast. Brisk to high southwest
winds were indicated along the South
Atlantic coast last night with brisk
to high northeast to north winds,

BLAZE ON BROUGHTON.
Fire in Rooms of Emmett MOncrieffe
Threatened Serions Damage,


The room and contents of Mr. En-
NETT Moncrieffe, on the fourth floor
of No "a Broughton street, west, were
considerably damaged by fire at 8
O'Clock last night, and but for the
prompt arrival of the fire department
been extensive.
The blaze was first discovered by
gentlemen walking on the opposite side
of the street who noticed a Pickering
light in the room which is in the front
of the building. With another party
he investigated, and found the interior
of the room on fire. An alarm was at
once turned in from Box No. 13, at
Broughton and Whitaker streets. No.
/ Chemical Company arrived first on
the scene and carried a line of hose up
the stairs. The room was then all
ablaze and smoke Issued from the win
dows.
The situation appeared critical. but
by good work the fire was soon got
under control. The fire was found to
have started in a closet, but the cause
could not be assigned. The flames had
also communicated to the wall, por-
tions of the plastering being torn out
by the firemen to see that no fire had
been left.
Mr.. Moncrieffe was at the Yacht
Club at the time of the fire and did
not arrive until after it had been eX-
tinguished. He could assign no cause
for it. The loss will probably amount
to $50 to the room and a like, or great
er loss to the occupant.
An amusing incident occurred in con-
nection with the fire. A young man,
who rooms in the same building, learn
ing that the place was on fire, came
rushing down the stairs in his night
clothes and with lamp held high over
his head just as the firemen started to
enter. They stopped him in his wild
flight and improper attire and made
him go back with them, using the lamp
to light them up the stairs, which
were pitch dark. He was badly fright
ened and was greatly relieved when he
learned that he was in no danger and
had suffered no loss
