That Is Why West Broad street
Brick Are Clipped.

That Is Why West Broad street
Brick Are Clipped.
hearing may be given West Broad
street property owners, who protest
against the brick that are to be used
in paving portion of their street,
claiming that they are of inferior
quality. 1t is further thought that
the explanation that will be made,
however, will satisfy the property
owners that their interests and the
city's will be preserved
Alderman Watson, chairman of the
Streets and lanes Committee of Coun-
ell, to which the protest of the prop
erty owners was referred, said yester-
day that only the perfect brick will
be used. The brick he said, are of
excellent quality, and are said to be
superior to any that have been laid
here.
1t is an undisputed fact that a great
many of the brick are badly Clipped,
and Alderman Watson was asked if
this did not prove that they are of in
ferior quality. He answered that it
did not, for the reason that the Nc
Avoy Paving Brick Company, when
loading the brick aboard a vessel at
Philadelphia had adopted a new plan,
which consisted in sending the brick
into the hold by a schultz. That was
the first time the company had ever
loaded brick that way. Alderman Wat
son said, and he is inclined to the view
that it would be the last, as the COM
pany is going to lose by having all the
Clipped brick rejected by the city.

NEW MILITARY RETURNS.
How Company Reports Are to BE
Made to Adjutant General.

How Company Reports Are to Be
Made to Adjutant General.
Beginning with the first of the year,
Gen. James w. Robertson, the adju-
tant general of Georgia, has inaugu-
rated a new system by which company
commanders will report the number of
men borne upon the rolls of their
companies during each month, and
their attendance at one drill or pa
rade, each month The blank is to be
sent in at the close of each quarter,
with the quarterly return of gains and
losses, and from its data can be seen
at glance whether or not company
is entitled to the monthly allowance
of $3.50 for armory rent.
The new system dispenses with the
enlistment cards, which were quite a
feature of the old system, and made it
possible for the adjutant generals
office to keep in touch with the full
military history Of each man, his
physical description, etc. This infor-
nation is to be kept now in "a greatly
modified form from the companies
quarterly returns, filed with the adju-
tant general. 1t has been the custom
in the past to send in each quarter a
certified copy of the report of drills
and parades held during the quarter
The new blank does away with the
necessity of sending this certified copy,
but the drill report book furnishes the
basis for it's data. The new system
will tighten the labor of the company
clerks considerably.

GROUND TO DEATH.
Negro Lad Was Stealing Ride
when He Fell Under Cars.


Ground to death while stealing ride
on an outgoing Plant SYSTEM freight
train. about o'clock yesterday after
noon, was the fate of "Bubber' Thomp
son, a 16 year old negro lad. The
accident occurred at Walburg street
literally cut to pieces.
The entire train of cars passed over
to boy and his head along with his
body and limbs were crushed into
shapeless mass. The sight was a sick
ening one and the police found no
difficulty in keeping the hundreds of
negroes who had gathered, a safe dis
lance from the remains. So far as is
known the engineer of the freight did
not know of the killing of Thompson
and the train did not stop.
According to the only witness who
could be found by a representative of
the Morning News, Thompson alone
was to blame for the accident. Eugene
Porter, negro boy living on Ander-
son street. near Price. saw Thompson
a few seconds before he fell under the
wheels of the car, and heard him
scream as he was going to his death.
The boy was killed on the western
track, and Porter was in a box car
just north of where Thompson fell. He
saw the freight train pass and saw
Thompson go on the railroad right-of-
way at the Bolton street crossing.
Porter was engaged in unloading a
car of shaVings in the yard of the
Savannah Electric Company. and says
that he saw Thompson climbing up
the side of one of the box cars a short
distance from the engine. The negro
was between two box cars when Por-
ter saw him and a moment later he
heard a cry. After the train had pass
ed he saw the mangled remains on the
western rail Of the track.
From the manner in which he was
cut up Thompson must have fallen
astride of the track and his legs be-
low the knees were the only parts of
his body that were not crushed to a
pulp. Thompson lived on Gwinnett
street, near East Broad, and in a very
short time several hundred persons
had gathered. According to the ne
groes in the neighborhood of the Boil
ton street crossing it had been Thomp-
sons habit to steal rides on outgoing
freight trains.
He told a fruit dealer a few minutes
before the accident that ne intended to
catch a ride on the freight that was
expected along about that time. The
boy was a we'll known figure around
the Bolton street station of the Sa-
vannah Electric Company and was
frequently seen at the crossing. Coro-
ner Keller was notified of the accident
and after viewing the remains gave
permission for their burial No in
quest was held.

PROTEST AGAINST PIERS.
VIII, Capt. USina Thinks, Cause
Careful Watch on Bridge Plans.

Careful Watch on Bridge Plans.
Capt NJ p Usina, who. as a Savan-
nah pilot, has sent a protest to SEN
ators in Washington against piers be-
ing allowed to obstruct the channel
of the Savannah river. thinks that the
object of those protesting against the
Georgia and Alabama Terminal Com
pany's bridge, as proposed, will be
achieved. Capt. Usina does not oppose
the erection of a bridge across the
river. but he does oppose the obstruc-
ton of the channel by means of piers.
He thinks that it would be essential
to the commerce of the port to have a
bridge that would offer not the least
obstruction.
THE bridge bill went through the
House of Representatives like a shot"
said Capt. Usina. There was no ques-
ton raised about it. no opposition Of
fered, and, of course. it went through.
1t was only then that we who oppose
the construction of piers in the channel
saw the danger and made protests.
These protects were needed.
Senators and those in authority at
Washington will not allow any bridge
to be constructed that would inter-
render ineffective the labors and ex-
penGitUres that the Savannah river has
received to make it a fine harbor. 1t
had to De pointed out to them, how
ever, that piers offered a danger. Their
attention directed to this, they will not
now permit the carrying out of any
plan that would serve to injure the
port This can be relied upon. If a
bridge is built, it will be with every
detail carefully watched, so that the
port viii not be hurt"
President Egan of the Central Rail
way and Ocean Steamship Company
said yesterday that many Savannah
ions have seemed to have their eyes
Cpo ned to tho damage that would be
G one the port by the construction of a
bridge that has piers in the channel.
He has card many expressions to this
effect.
Mr.. Egan was asked if it were moi
toy ard the south bank of the river
He replied in the affirmative, saying
that he could not understand why d
single pier could not be erected on the
soI,h hank and another in the stream,
toward the Hutchinson's Island side,
beyond the channel that is now sought
b. the Urge ships. This might mean
a span of 40C feet, Mr.. Egan said, but
he did not consider that difficulty in
superable. There would be the adj
vantage, re said, of a saving to the
company that would follow from Only
one pier having to be constructed in
the ST. cam.

savannah's Directory for 1902.

Goettes City Directory has been
turned out from the Morning News
Job Department, and is now being dis
trihuted. Mr.. Goette includes a little
patriotism in this years directory by
enclosing it in green covers. This
makes an attractive back, however,
and it is pretty certain the book will
please the large number of subscribers
who viii receive it.
The directory gives the population
of Savannah as 1922, which is con-
siderably larger than the census fig
ures. Mr.. Goette has been painstaking
in gathering the information for the
directory, and claims that the figures
he gives as TO the city's population are
absolutely correct. Hereafter the dir
ectory will be published in January.

SHOOTING WAS ACCIDENTAL.
Although Green VIII Probably Die,
Miller Was Not to Blame.

That the probably fatal shooting of
Charlie Green, negro boy, near Low
ers lane on Sunday, was an accident
was shown conclusively to Recorder
Myrick at yesterdays session of Po-
lice Court. William Dorsey Miller
the 12-year-old boy who was arrested
at the time, was released on the show
ing made.
Mounted Sergeant Joseph McCool
made a complete investigation of the
shooting, and reported that while the
stories told by those who witnessed it
varied slightly they all agreed on the
main point. 1t was shown that the
two boys had been classmates and
friends, and that the firing of the
shot followed the careless handling of
the pistol by Miller. The wounded boy
is still under the care of DR.. A. A,
Morrison. but his condition is regard
ed as precarious. He has only a very
slight chance of recovering.

WENT ONE CENT HIGHER.
Turpentine Went to 81 Cents and
May Go Higher.

The naval stores trade is wondering
where the price of turpentine will get
before it stops. Another jump of a
cent was scored yesterday, the market
closing steady at that figure. with the
demand light. Sales We're barely
enough to establish the advance as the
official market.
Owing to the fact that the market is
being subjected to strong manipulation,
many are interested to know to what
extent the price will be run up before
it stops. 1t is admitted that this is
most opportune time for the conduct of
a bull campaign, for the reason that
every favorable condition exists for
the advocates of higher prices This
being the case, a Northern Pacific sky
