GROCERY CLERK ASSAULTED.
struck by Two white Men on Bull
street, but Motive Is Doubtful.

A grocery clerk was assaulted by
two unknown white men late Saturday
night at Broughton lane and Bull
streets, but failed to report the oc-
currence to the police, who learned
of it from other sources. There were
two versions of the affair and it is
not probable that any arrests will be
made.
One of the stories heard by the po-
lice makes the clerk the victim OF
highwaymen. 1t was alleged that
when he reached the lane he was
struck with a sandbag and relieved of
a suit of clothes that he had just pur-
chased. The other version is that he
was talking to a young woman on the
corner of the lane when assaulted by
two young white men. Immediately
after the assault the two men ran
down the lane towards Whitaker
street and made their escape. They
were followed by several people who
were a short distance away when the
assault was committed, but the as
sailants made their escape.

CITY ENGINEERS REPORT.
Col. Winn Makes ttOns
for His Department..


The annual report of Col. w. j.
VIM, city engineer, has been filed
with the Mayor. The report is of
great length, showing that much labor
was expended upon it. 1t makes de-
tailed statement of the work done in
Col. Wnn's department during the
year.
The report sets forth the surveys
made during the year for private par
ties, surveys of lots. surveys of streets.
measurements of streets, measurements
of squares, street lines given, grades
and lines for streets, sidewalk grades
given for private parties, profiles made
and levels given. maps of lots and maps
and plats of streets. tracings of lots,
tracings of streets, miscellaneous ira
cings and estimates made.
An important feature of the report
is complete record of property ac-
quired during the year for opening
streets. This record was made up with
Alderman Thomas, chairman of the
Committee on City Lots. It shows the
number of each deed. the name of the
owner from whom each piece Of prom
erty was secured, a description of each
piece, the street il was to be used in
opening, the number of square feet it
embraced and the price paid
In tabulated form the report shows
the total of work done during the year,
and for whom it was done. The re-
port shows grades and lines, SO: sur
veys and measurements 277; profiles,
maps, plats and traeings, Pa; reports
and inspections. 10; estimates, 81; blue
prints, 295; making a total of $685. This
shows an increase of nearly 80 per
cent in the work of the department
over the year before.
Col. Winn closes his report with the
following recommendations
Il would respectfully recommend
that this department be authorized TO
employ some additional competent as
sistance TO make copies of the numer-
Gus maps, plans and profiles, which
are the accumulation of years of sur
Veys, and that these copies be stored
in some secure building, not connected
with the City Exchange, in view of
the fact that should the originals be
destroyed by fire or otherwise, their
loss would be almost irreparable.
Il recommend that the various OBJ
staeles to the free flow of the water
in Musgrove creek be removed
I'm view of the recent extension of
the city limits, it will be necessary
to have an additional engineer and
party to survey this territory and To-
cate all property lines, buildings, fences
and proposed streets, and l would re-
spectfully recommend that this de-
partment be authorized to employ this
additional assistance with this end in
view, and that when this work on
the extended limits is completed they
survey the entire older part of the
city, as there are many sections there
in of which this department has no
maps and. consequently is seriously
handicapped in the discharge of it's
duties"

Clinton Danger6eld Proves to BE
Miss Ella Howard Bryan.


Miss Ella Howard Bryan.
Miss Lillian Whiting of Boston. the
author and critic, in one of her re-
cent letters TO the Chicago Inter Ocean,
reveals the identity of the popular
author, Clinton Dangertield. She
says: 1T is given me to make a lit
erary revelation, however, in the In
ter-Ocean, and that is regarding the
identity of the young poet, Clinton
Dangerheld. whose poems in the Cen
fury and other magazines are attract
ing attention. Two or three years ago
= book called Behind the Weir was
published anonymously by the Little
& Brown house--a book that may be
said to fairly dramatize the life in
the unseen with such force OF reality
that it reads like an actual revela-
ton. Behind the Neil' has nothing
in common with any morbid or fam
tastic fancies regarding the life TO
come. II is so rational, so reverent
and, apparently. in perfect harmony
with the truths or revealed religion
The Clinton Dangerfield of the Century
is the author of this book C'Behind the
Neil) and the pen name has con-
cealed the Identity of very beautiful
and gifted young woman, Miss Ella
Howard Bryan of Dillon, Ga. Miss
Bryan passed some two or three years
recently in and near Cambridge. and
during this time she wrote Behind
the Veil' and did a good deal of other
work, among which are some plays,
and one comedy, especially, in three
acts, is one of the unusually fine things
in the modern drama. Miss Bryan's
genius is very versatile. as well as
brilliant and her opening life in lit
erature will be watched with inter-
est"
Miss Bryan is the daughter Of the
late Maj. Henry Bryan of Savannah, a
distinguished officer of the Confederate
army, and a granddaughter of the late
Capt. Joseph Bryan, also a prominent
citizen. She Is "A lineal descendant OF
that sturdy revolutionary patriot who
was removed from the Royal Council OF
Georgia by direct order of the King be-
cause he presided over meeting of
citizens which protested against The
stamp act. Later in the war he was
captured by the British and taken to
New York where he was confined on
board a prison ship. He was ex-
changed in time to take part although
then so years Of age, In the military
movements which compelled the cvac-
ustion of Savannah.
Bryan street in this city and Bryan

cradle patriot. who lived to see Amer

COOPER HEWITT'S. NEW LIGHT
Mercury Gas Instead of Film TO
Conduct Electricity.
From Saturdays New York Sun.

From Saturdays New York Sun.
over the entrance to the house Of
the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers at II West Thirty first street,
there hung last night what looked like
a column of cold, blue-white light,
about four inches in diameter and
about four feet high. 1t gave a brill
liant illumination to the street for
nearly half a block. Inside the house
the auditorium was lighted by five sim
liar lights, but of lesser diameter, and
the light of the hall was almost like
sunlight. Beneath these lights, which
looked like big candles, sat several
hundred members of the American ITt-
stitute of Electrical Engineers to lis
ten to the reading of IA paper on "Elec-
trio Gas Lamps and Gas Electrical Re-
sistance Phenomena by the young In
ventor of the lamps. Peter Cooper He
Wit. son of the Hon. Abram $. He
witt.
Some six or eight years ago Mr..
Hewitt came to the conclusion that a
better and cheaper light than that sup
piled by either the are or incandescent
lamps could be obtained by the use OF
gas as the conductor instead of the
film used in the incandescent lamps.
ne began experimenting III his labo-
ratory IN the tower of Madison Square
Garden. with the result that he has
obtained such a light and except for
the perfection of few details is ready
10 put it on the market.
Mr.. Hewitt's lamp consists simply of
glass tube with a bulb at one end,
into which he introduces the gas gen
Grated from mercury. The tubes, when
filled, are connected with the ordinary
electric power in any building and the
current turned on. The gas acts as
the conductor, and as soon as the
switch sis> turned, the tube is flooded
with light. Four of these tubes were
placed at regular Intervals around the
gallery of the auditorium last night
and one was hung from the ceiling.
The incandescent lights were also
turned on and the light from these
looked like jets of uncertain yellow
flame, as compared with the light in
Mr. Hewitts lamps.
The lamps attached to the gallery
gave a light equal to that of about
200 candles, while the one which hung
from the ceiling and the one over the
entrance to the house seemed to have
about twice as much power. Mr..
Hewitt says that he can produce his
light at about one-eighth the cost of
the incandescent lamps and about one
third the cost of arc lamps and of gas
lamps.
