MOVED FENCES BACK.

City Marshal Removed Encronch-
ments on East Henry street.
City Marshal H. E. Dreeson took a
portion of the city's street force yes
terday morning and went to Henry
street, in Collinsville, to remove two
fences that were encroachments upon
the public domain. The encroach-
ments were on the lots of Mr.. E. L.
Prince.
The fences were taken up and NOV
ed back to the proper property line,
though not without objections to the
. procedure from the residents. They de-
clared that the city would have law
suit to defend as a result of the re-
moval of the fence. Notice was given
by the city marshal several days ago,
but it was not needed. He proceeded.
therefore, to make the proper adjust
ment himself.

RED HOT MEN AFTER GOLDEN

Is Under Bond to Answer Two As
sault and Battery Charges.
The aftermath of the disturbance at
Lincoln Park on Sunday night has as
sumed serious aspect for Tom Col
den, proprietor of the park He is now
under two bonds of 5000 each and has
been threatened with suit unless he
reimburses the two white men whose
stands he overturned and broke up.
The bonds were executed yesterday
and are to secure his appearance to
answer the warrants sworn out against
him for assault and battery and for
pointing a pistol not in his own de-
tense.
The story of the disturbance has al
ready been given in the Morning News.
Hornstein and Morse, two vendors of
quick lunches commonly known as
'red-hot," went to ,the park, as was
their custom, on Sunday night to sell
their wares to the hungry negro pop
ulation that gather there. Golden, who
runs small restaurant, did not take
kindly to the competition. Just at the
time when business was brisk and a
crowd of prospective purchasers had
surrounded the carts belonging to the
two white men, some one in the crowd
showed man against the portable
culinary department. This naturally
made the red-hot man mad and he
gave vent to his wrath in uncompli-
mentary terms.
According to the two white men, Col
den appeared on the scene, and, after
cursng them, ran at the cart belong
ing to Morse and attempted to over
turn it. Morse resisted and in so do
ing had his face badly burned by the
gasoline lamp attached to the cart
Golden then struck Morse a blow in
the face, knocking him to the ground
In the fall Morse's side was lacerated
on a tree. The cart was then over
turned.
Hornstein, who swore out the two
warrants before Justice Hohenstein
said that Golden then struck him in
the head. pointed a pistol in his face
and turned his stand over and set fire
to it. The two men have employed
Mr.. John Myrick to prosecute the case
for them. and say that unless a settle
ment for the damage done is soor
forthcoming, suit will be instituted
The injuries to Morse do not permit
of his doing any work. DR.. Kenan is
attending him. HornStein, while not
so badly injured physically, has no carr
with which to do business. Both mer
declare that they are going to make
| it "red-hot" for Golden, and with two
| warrants and the imminency of a suit
| glaring him in the face the outlook is
anything but bright for the proprietor

WOULD BE A GRAIN ROUTE.
What 1t Would Mean If ST. L. & $
+. should Get the Central,

F. should Get the Central.
President John NJ. Egan of the Cen
trial Railway was asked yesterday
about the report that the St Louis
and San Francisco Railroad was about
TO acquire the Central He said he
knew absolutely nothing about such a
project.
The st. Louis and San Francisco is
a big system, aggregating more than
5000 miles and touching many i'm
portant points in the Middle West. 1t
extends through famous farming ter
ritory, where vast quantities of grain
are raised. The Central would be an
outlet for this grain in connection with
an export line of steamers from Sayan-
nah.
The Kansas City, Fort Scott and
Memphis, extending to Birmingham, is
part of the St. Louis and San Francis
co system. The Central also reaches
Birmingham, so that direct connection
between the two roads would be af-
forded there.
1t is thought there is much in the
prospect of such a grain route as the
consolidation would afford to attract
any company 1t is known that several
years ago efforts were made by the
Central to make traffic arrangements
that would have made il such a grain
outlet for the very section that the St.
Louis and San Francisco traverses.
This plan was frustrated, however, by
the interposition of some influence
that prevented its being carried out
The st. Louis and San Francisco has
been very busy acquiring new mileage
of late. AS but one New York director.
thus far, has made specific denial of
the report that it is after the Central,
1t may be that the latter road is a
bait that is attracting it.

The Sylvania Railroad extends from
Rocky Ford to Sylvania, a distance of
fifteen miles 1t has been in the hands
of a receiver for twelve months, and
was sold under foreclosure of mort
gage bond by the Central Railroad. 1t
is not known here what future dis
position will be made of the road.
Mr.. Lane, who is president of the
Citizens Bank, was seen about the
purchase of the Sylvania Railroad. but
would not discuss it. He would not
say whether he had bought it to OPP
crate himself, or whether he was act
ing for others in buying, 1t is thought,
however, that it will revert to the Cen
trail, and that the Central will assume
its operation.
About a year ago the Central asked
for receivership for the S;ylvania
Railroad. and Mr.. Hobby, who had
been its superintendent. was appointed
to the position. The Sylvania Railroad
Company, of which Mr.. P. II. Daffin of
Savannah was president had opera ted
the line.
Many years ago the Central loaned
about $4,000 to the Sylvania Railroad

In the allegations upon which PIE de-
mand for a receivership was based, it
was shown that no interest on the debt
had been paid for a number of years.

SEAMEN SLEEP ASHORE.
Season Is Here When This Health
Measure Is Enforced

The season that the law sets apart
as that for seamen to leave their ships
at night and sleep ashore has arrived.
During this month, September and
October, crews that come to Savannah
will have to seek Judgment ashore.
Their failure to do so will render them
liable to fines in the Police Court. The
hotels and the Port Society's Bethel,
therefore, have already begun to note
an incr ease in the number of their
dodgers. The Port Society, especially,
does a rushing business during this
season, and all of its beds are filled
during October, when so many cotton
steamers are in port

PURE DEMOCRACY.

Here is an editorial from a
Western paper that sizes the matter
up as viewed by the Democracy of
the west, shows the feeling and stu
alton in that section:
All this talk about trying to
harmonic the democrats of the east
and westi is all bosh. The democrats
harmonized in 1906 and in 1000.
There IS no such thing as what is
called Cleveland democracy or
Bryan democracy. The principles
of the democratic party were laid
down years before either of these
men were born. Cleveland betrayed
his party and has voted with the
republican party at two elections
for president, il he voted at all.
Bryan has advocated and is today
advocating a government by the
people, which is pure democracy,
and his doctrine will be the doctrine
that will be followed, no matter
whether some Of the policies OF
Bryan are openly advocated and no
matter whether state conventions
openly endorse Bryan. The millions
OF people who voted for Bryan in
1896 and in 1900 will not be turned
from their course by the attempt OF
the men who either directly voted
against their man or sulked in their
tents, to open an old channel
