NOW HE'S A COLONEL.
H E. Brent Is Commissioned by
Governor Bailey.

H. E. Brent, stenographer and general
all-around clerk to Governor Bailey,
is now Colonel Brent. Governor Bailey
has appointed him assistant adjutant
general. which carries with it the rank
of colonel.
The last legislature left the office of
assistant adjutant general on the sta
tute books, but ii made no provision for
a salary to go with it, as there is little
work for the assistant to do unless
there should be a war. Consequently
there were no great number of patriots
who wanted the place. Mr. Brent is
thoroughly equipped military man. as
he served through the Philippine war
with the Twentieth Kansas, and as he
keeps tab anyway on all the business Of
the Kansas National Guards which
comes into the governors office. the
governor simply made him an official
by giving him the appointment Of as
sistant adjutant general. His salary
will continue to be only that which he
has been receiving.

STEWART STREET CASES
WILL BE DECIDED.

Test Case of Property Owners
Against City Being Tried.
An interesting case, and one which
will determine the rights of numerous
property owners in the vicinity of the
Union Station, is on trial in the City
Court. The suit, together with others
containing the same subject matter,
grew out of the construction by the
city of a retaining wall on Stewart
street.
The suit on trial is that of James w.
Byrnes, executor of the estate of Pat
rick Byrnes, against the Mayor and
Aldermen of the city of Savannah. The
plaintiff is the owner of parts of lots 8
and 9, Walton ward. fronting on Stew
art. He claims that the city caused
the street to be graded. the sidewalks
lowered, and a retaining wall built,
thus cutting off means of ingress and
egress for vehicles. and deteriorating
the value of the property at least 49,,
900.
The complainant maintains that the
change operated only to the interest of
the Savannah Union Station Company
at whose request it was made. The
city contends that the change was ad
Vantageous and was legally made. w.
Z. LaROche represents the property
owners, and William Garrard, the city.
The case was commenced yesterday
morning, and continued throughout the
day. 1t will be resumed, and probably
concluded to-day.

DAN HULL SERIOUSLY
ILL IN NEW YORK.

The friends of Mr.. Dan Hull are ex-
ercised over the report to the effect
that he is dangerously i'll in New
York. For some time it has been
known that he suffered from a weak
heart, and as a result of an examina-
ton by physicians some apprehension
was felt. -
A short time ago he left for Tate
Springs, to spend his vacation. For
the last ten days no news has been
received from him by his friends in
the city with whom he has been ac-
customed to correspond A short time
ago transportation was requested for
him to New York, where, it is under
stood, he went BECAUSE of i'll health.
Mr.. Hull has many friends in Sa-
vannah, being one of the most popu-
lar members of the younger set, and,
II the report is true, the intelligence
of his illness will be received with

BIG GARBAGE CARS
JUMPED THE TRACK.
Took All Night To Get Five Loaded
Cars To Dump.

Took All Night To Get Five Loaded
Cars To Dump.
The city's garbage was not taken to
the County Farm yesterday. Instead
the scavenger wagon conveyed the
garbage to the old city dumps.
1t took hours for the new garbage
cars to get to the County Farm with
their first loads and they did not reach
the dump until o'clock yesterday
morning.
There were five cars in service, and
four of them jumped the track half
dozen or MORE times. The trouble
was on Whitaker street where the
track in spots would not hold the big
and heavily loaded cars.
Superintendent of Transportation
Oakley spent the early morning hours
with a wrecking crew putting first one
car on the track and then another.
No trouble was experienced after the
cars got off the Whitaker street line,
but it was impossible to unload them
and get them back to the city in time
to handle the garbage taken to the
crematory site by the scavenger wag-
ons during the earlier hours of the
morning,
All during the day the construction
force of the Savannah Electric Com
pany was at work on the tracks on
Whitaker street, Tightening them and
putting them in condition to stand a
strain that they have never had to
bear before. Manager Kidder of the
company does not anticipate that there
will be any further trouble with the
cars, and they will probably get back
to the loading site in the city tonight.
1t had been expected that there would
be trouble on the first trip of the cars
when loaded.

MYSTERY DEEPENS
AS BURGLARS
FROLIC.
VALUABLE SILVER
TAKEN AWAY AND
RETURNED
Contractor Artley's Home Wis.
tied, But He Won't Tell
Police How He Got His
Property Back.

Under no circumstances will l di-
vulge the identity of the person who
returned my silverware."
Following the recovery of silverware
reported as being valued at $500, Mr..
A. A. Artley, contractor, living at No.
% Duffy street, west, made this state
ment to Detectives Murphy and WALL
and the police are now figuring on a
burglary mystery that overshadows the
others of recent date.
At $50 O'Clock yesterday morning
Contractor Artley notified Desk Ser
geant Mock at police headquarters
that his residence at Whitaker and
Duffy streets had been entered during
the night and large quantity of sill
verware had been taken. 1t was stated
at police headquarters that the silver
ware was valued at $780,
Made Big Haul.
The following property was described
and lists were furnished the detail
of plain clothes men: One silver hair
brush, one silver clothes brush, two
pair of silver back military hair
brushes, one gold clasp pin, one gold
fraternity pin, one black hand mirror,
one silver hand mirror, three silver
hat pins, half dozen solid silver tea
spoons, two souvenir spoons, seven
after-dinner teaspoons, half dozen sill
yer nut picks and crackers, one silver
sugar bowl, one silver teaspoon holder,
one silver butter dish, one silver cream
pitched, one cake basket, eighteen
silver forks, seven after-dinner silver
teaspoons and one silver berry bas-
ket.
About o'clock Mr.. Artley notified
the police that he had recovered all
of his property and that the detec-
tives need not exercise themselves. It
was stated that the slverware had
been found in the yard where it had
been left by the thief The police tried
to figure it out and finally decided that
the burglar had either been frightened
away or had left his plumber concealed
and intended to return for it,
MIR. ArtIey Keeps Secret.
Later Mr.. Artley admitted to a rep
resentative of the Morning News that
the silverware had not been found in
the yard, but that he had secured it in
another way. He refused, however, to
divulge his secret. saying that he was
honor bound not to give out the in
formation that he possessed. Mr.. Art
ley could not be induced to part with
his secret. and the detectives paid him
a visit. They endeavored to show him
that quite a number of burglaries have
been committed recently, and that in
no case have they been able to get
a description of a burglar.
Mr.. Artley stated that he was bound
to secrecy and no persuasion on the
part of the officers could induce him
to tell what he knows about the dis
appearance of his silverware, and it's
sudden and mysterious recovery. The
detectives have made every effort to
find out where the silverware was, but
without success.
