A BIG FEE.



y young Kentucky lawyer, Captain
G. &. Calhoun of Lexington, has re-
Gently grown rich from single fee.
Captain Calhoun, as the special attor-
ncy for the state of Kentucky, recent
ly delivered to the state authorities Il
certified check on the United States
treasury for 81, ,323, 999. 50. The Louis
vile correspondent Of the Chicago
Chronicle says: lie got the money
due to the state for equipping union
soldiers during the civil war. 4 year
ago Captain Calhoun, poor, but
bright young lawyer, appeared before
Governor Beckham and said that
much money was due the state from
the government. The governor said:
All right, Calhoun, I'll appoint you
30 represent the state and if you
collect you may get Il fee OF 10 per
cent. Young Calhoun was without
funds, but he set tu work at his task
and spent many months in Washing
ton looking through muSty records of
the civil war claims. After weeks OF
tedi us work he secured facts and
guides which proved that the govern
ment did owe the commonwealth of
Kentucky the amount named. He
then set To work to have the claim al
lowed. The proof was so positive
that he succeeded in having the claim
included in the general deficiency bill
which was passed by congress and
signed by the president last week, and
Captain Calhoun's fee, which will be
paid TO him, amounts to Sl32, 400.
Captain Calhoun has just married and
will purchase big blue grass farm
near Lexington. He will continue TO
practice law, however

TILLMAN BANQUETTED.
Senator Tillman was entertained In
Charleston Friday night at one Of the
most elaborate banquetS ever given
in Charleston, at which he received a
tremendous ovation. He was most
literally applal d d throughout his
speech, which like all his utteranceS,
vas right to the point. AS The News
aud Courier puts II he tore the bark
off. lie went back into recent politi-
cal history and told Of the conditions,
which he considered ~ grave that il
was necessary TO organize farm, rs
movement so that men who paid the eX-
penSeS of the State should operate it,.
and then he turned tOhiS experiences,
political AMI otherwise, with the peo-
pie OF Charleston.
Expressing great love and admira-
tiOn for the town, he said ii was neceS-
sary for the younger element to pull
together to regain the commerce
which il now going to other ports.
He took of the gloves in speaking OF
the selfwhorship of the city and de-
clared that if Charleston ever ad-
vanced it would be through the effort
OF the men with whom he was dining
Friday night. Touching on the Crum
appointment he said that it had been
made. that the negro was put into
one OF the most important Federal
offices and that il was best to keep
harptng on the matter and wait until
the next session of the Senate, when
every power would he used to have
him rejected.

exposure and rough sea, the district
engineer has not heretofore been able
to secure a dredge to do the work at
any price. For this reason Col. Quinn
urged the authorities at Washington
to assign the government dredge here.
The big machine can do the work of
a half dozen ordinary dredges, it being
one of the largest in service. After the
completion of the work here it will be
assigned by the authorities to some
other Southern port. AS New Orleans
has made a strong claim, it is probable
that it will be sent there next.
The work on the knoll will be pushed,
so that it may be completed by the time
that cotton commences to move heavily.
The dredging of the knoll will expedite
the shipment of heavy cargoes to a
great extent. Col. Quinn estimates
that it will take two months to COM
plete the work, although a very appre-
ciable amount of work. which will IA
cilitate commerce. will be done during
September.
Specifications have been received for
the big dredge, which will be construct
ed by the War Department for use at
this port. Bids for the building of the
machine will be received on Saturday
in the office of the district engineer, In
the Postof1ice building. AS soon as the
bid has been approved, work will be
commenced and pushed as rapidly as
possible.

NEGRO WATCHMAN
HELD FOR MURDER.
Important witness Discovered i'm
woodward Homicide.


woodward Homicide.
The killing Of Alexander Paris by
Samuel West on Saturday night was
prompted by malice. and was murder.
This was the opinion of the coroner's
jury that last night investigated the
homicide in Gallagher's wood yard on
East Broad and Waldburg streets. the
inquest was held in the Police Court
room, and only three witnesses were
examined.
The statement made by Mack Dow,
colOred, of No. 1905 East Broad street,
a witness discovered during the day BY
Detective Frank Wall, was the most
important. Dow's statement was that
Paris was not shot in the wood ward.
but on East Broad street, within few
feet of his house. He declared in his
preliminary statement to the detective
that he could not be mistaken.
at the report of the pistol 1 opened
my door and looked out" said Dow in
delivering his testimony. Il saw the
man that was shot. He said, Lord
have mercy on me: Sam you have shot
me for nothing He ran around on
Waldburg street and fell down. The
man that did the shooting came by my
house and said: '- you, you de-
pend on God and put you IN ---.
Detective Wall testified as to state
ments made to him by the prisoner.
The detective first told Vests story as
it was given in the Morning News, and
then repeated another statement made
to him by West yesterday. The officer
said that in his second statement the
negro declared to him that the shoot
ing of Paris was an accident. when in
his first statement he asserted that he
had fired the fatal shot in self-defense.
Mounted Patrolman Harper. who
placed West under arrest. told of his
visit to Mr.. Gallaghers house, and of
the finding of the Waterman. When
placed under arrest by Harper West
made about the same statement that ne
did to Detective Wall on the night of
the homicide. The accused has en-
ployed counsel and did not make any

City Physician G. H. Johnson, who

Canada, saw Col Gaynor in Quebec
and chatetd pleasantly with him for
a short while. If he had not been IA

case DR.. Johnson would never have
had occasion to suspect that the man
with whom he talked was a fugitive
from justice.
Col. Gaynor is living on the fat of

contemplated action on the part of the
government, likes Canada, thinks the
domnion's officials fair and honorable
gentlemen, and has no special desire

Col. Gaynor was inclined to be COM

about to unfold his story and give vent

thing happened.

state of GeOrgia-Practices VIII
BE Held Daily.
The selection of a team to represent
Georgia in the national rifle match at
Sea Girt next Tuesday is the topic of
greatest interest to the military men
of the state at this time. Particularly
does it engross SaVannahians, since the
team will be composed largely of Sa-
vannah rihemen.
1t is highly probable that the team
will be made up for the most part of
those who have attended the matches
at Sea Girt in the past. This is most
natural, since among their number are
still found the best shots in the state.
The fact that the team will have little
or no time for practice at the long
raj ges also argues the selection of
those who have had experience in
adapting themselves to conditions.
The question which is most worri-
some in the selection of the team is
the measuring of the ability of the men
al the long range targets. On this ac-
count Col. Cam has requested that 4v-
cry man who has been mentioned in
connection with the team report for
practice at the range every afternoon at
$3.50 o'clock. On Thursday afternoon
the team will be selected from those
who have acquitted themselves most
creditably in the practice.

STREET PAVING
AT A STANDSTILL.

lily Is Unable TO Get tltr1ueu bFlck
in Quantities.
Not as many streets will be paved
during the present year as was con-
templated and quite sum of money
that had been laid aside for street
paving for 1903 will remain in the
treasury.
This does not mean that the appro-
priation for street paving next year
will be any larger than it was this
year, if indeed it will be as large. I'm
less the streets and lanes department
can use its entire appropriation with
in four months, and it appears that
this cannot be done, it will lose con-
siderable part of it, A department that
does not use it's entire appropriation is
not credited with anything on the
next year.
Director of Public Works George M.
Gadsden returned yesterday from the
North, where he spent his vacation of
three weeks. He cannot figure out
how the city is going to pave streets
without bricks, and these he is getting
only in driblets. Nor is there any rem
edy for the condition of affairs that
exists. The brick concerns are simply
unable to fill the orders. A rush of
orders, labor troubles and several 9TH
er things, prevent the factories from
delivering bricks as fast as the cities
that are using them would like.
1t will be some little while yet be-
fore the work of paving Abercorn
street will begin. The director of pub
lie works says he hasn't enough brick
to reach Fortieth street and that the
work will not be started until several
more cars of brick put in an appear
ance. Then, too. the Savannah Elec-
trio Company has not finished putting
down heavy rails south of Henry
street and moving the tracks in the
center. This work, however, will be
finished by the time the paying forces
will be ready to go to work. Park ave-
nue. and Whitaker streets will probably
be finished before the new year.
