SUING ELECTRIC COMPANY
FOR ALLEGED INJURIES.
Three Suits AEgregating $4,000
Were Instituted in City Court.

Three Suits AEGregating $4,000
Were Instituted in City Court.
Three suits were filed in the City
Court yesterday against the Savannah
Electric Company. This is the small
est number of suits which has been
filed against the company in the City
Court on return day for a long while.
T. L. Bethea, by his attorney, David
c. Barrow, asks the recovery of ST.
900, which amount he alleges he has
been injured by coming in contact
with a live wire of the company, which
fell upon him. He says he was thrown
violently to the ground, sustaining
numerous internal injuries which ne
cessitated his prolonged confinement,
and even now cause him great incon-
Venience.
Lednder Truehart, a young girl, who
sues by her next friend, wants $500,
because of injuries received as a re-
suit of the alleged negligence of the
street car company. On Aug. 4, last,
while riding across one of the COM
pany's tracks, one of the cars struck
the hack threw her out, and injured
her seriously. She submits that she
cried to the motorman to stop his car,
but he did not heed the warning.
She is represented by w. N. Clarke
and Garrard & Meldrim.
The same attorneys filed suit for
Julia Dukes against the company.
The plaintiff alleges that she was in
jured while in the act of alighung
from a car, through the negligence of
the motornran in starting the car be-
fore she had gained the ground. She
seeks the recovery of $500. ..

FR0STS YESTERDAY
THROUGHOUT STATE.

Mean Temperature in Savannah
60 Degrees, with Minimum of so.
AS predicted in the telegram received
at the Weather Bureau on Sunday
light frOsts visited nearly all the
Southern states. In some of the more
northern ones killing frosts We're re-
corded. The frosts were general and
covered a large extent of territory. In
Savannah, however, the mean temper
allure was 60 degrees, though the mini
mum, 30 degrees, was lowest since last
winter.
The Georgia towns and cities which
sent in accounts of frosts to the Sa-
vsnnah Weather Bureau We're Augusta,
Atlanta, Newman and West Point.
None OF these stations recorded killing
frosts, though it is probable that some
of the smaller towns in the higher alu-
tudes had frosts Of that nature. Kill
ing frosts were recorded at Asheville,
y. c.. Lake, Miss, Washington, d. c.,
and many stations in Pennsylvania and
the North.
The following is partial list of the
cities in the South which were visited
with frosts in addition to those in
Georgia: Montgomery, Fort Deposit,
mon springs ana Canton LII Ala
bama; Lake, Meridian, (heavy), and
Vicksburg, in Mississippi, Charlotte,
Raleigh and Wilmington in North
Carolina; Richmond, Va, and Chatta-
nooga and Knoxville. in Tennessee.
There were also several frosts record
ed in Texas, the heaviest being at
Palestine.
In Savannah the day was cool though
a few degrees warmer than Sunday.
The minimum temperature, recorded
at o'clock in the morning, was so de-
grees, the lowest registered since the
close of the winter and early spring
months. The maximum, which was
reached at o'clock in the afternoon,
was So degrees, two degrees higher thar
the maximum on Sunday. This made
go the mean for the day, deficiency Of
6 degrees below the normal, sc degrees.
The predictions for to-day are fair
and warmer Yesterday was generally
clear throughout the entire country,
though rains were recorded at Jupiter
and Key West. There were no rains
in the other Southern states.

FISH STAND MEN

Are Now on Docket for Maintaining
~ Nuisance.

Are Now on Docket for Maintaining
Nuisance.
There is a fight on now between the
police and the proprietors of fish or
cook stands. precipitated by the men
who run the stands.
Following complaints made to the
Mayor the superintendent of police
was instructed to have his men order
the fish stand proprietors not to camp
within one block either way of the
Union Station. But the fish stand men
have refused to obey the order, and
declare that they will not bulge.
Docket cases have been made against
four of them. and they will be ar
raigned before Recorder Myrick in Po-
lice Court on a charge of maintaining
a nuisance. In the event that the evil
dence shows that the stands are a null
sance, and there are any number of
people who are ready to swear that
they are, they will be so declared by
the Recorder. and the men will be
practically forced out of business. The
order given by the police only referred
to the immediate neighborhood of the
Union Station.

OFFICER NABBED HIM
WHILE TELLING STORY.
Unique Plea of Man Arrested for
Cursing the Police.

Cursing the Police.
Protesting that he was only relating
an incident in his life in New Orleans
when he said ito - with the police"
and that the patrolman who CHANGED
to be within hearing was not in his
mind. APOSTLE Sakalarides, man who
is somewhat of a police celebrity and
whose nationality has been d question
of some doubt, managed to secure a
discharge at yesterdays session of Po-
lice Court.
The prisoner was charged by Pa
trolman Beiber with being drunk and
cursing in the street. The charge of
drunkenness had been lodged because
it has been the custom TO put it oppo-
site TO Apostles name, and the off1-
Ger was frank to state that he would
not say that the prisoner was under
the influence of liquor. He had heard
the man with the long name say Ito
- with the police and this had
prompted him TO make the arrest. The
uniformed man was unable to say what
had prompted the man to make this
observation.
The explanation made by Sakala-
rides was a rather lengthy one. He
was only recently released from Jail,
where he was sent for drunkenness,
and was busily engaged in telling his
troubles to a sympathizer when Pa
trolman Beiber placed him under ar
rest. APOSTLE told the Recorder that
he had been telling of how he was ar
rested in New Orleans for saying Ito
- With the police" and declared
that the words had no sooner gotten
out of his mouth than Beiber had him
a prisoner. The plea was at least
unique, and the Recorder felt that he
was entitled to a discharge.

NEW DEPARTMENT
IN FAIR EXHIBIT.
Requests Come in for Offering of
Premiums for Syrup.

Requests Come in for Offering of
Premiums for syrup.
General Manager Gordon Saussy an
nounced yesterday that a new depart
ment had been placed in the exhibits
for which premiums will be offered at
the Savannah Fair This department
will include the various classes of
syrups made from Georgia sugar cane.
There will be two principal divisions
in the department.
The first division will offer a prize
for the best exhibit of syrup made
from cane raised this year. The offer
ing of a prize in this line is made at
the request of a number of cane-grow-
ers who were anxious to show what
Georgia and their home county was
doing in this line. From the number of
requests which have come in at fair
headquarters for such an exhibit it is
probable that there will be many en-
tries.
The second division will cover only
those sYrups which are made on the
fair grounds. One of the chief objects
of the fair is to show the methods of
manufacture as we'll as the products.
The process by which syrup is obtained
will be shown on the grounds and a
suitable prize offered to the one who
turns out the best Qaulity of syrup.
Thoroughly competent judges will be
selected to make the awards.
There was no premium offered for
syrups in the premium list as origi-
nally issued. A provision was made,
however, allowing the management to
award a suitable prize to any exhibits
which were not covered in the original
list, provided the exhibit was one of
merit. No decision has been made as
yet as TO whether the prize offered in
the new department will be a cash
award or a diploma Manager SauSsy
will make a cash award if there are a
sufficient number of Georgia cane
growers who make entries of syrups.
Considerable space was assigned yes
terday in all the buildings to exhibitors
from different parts of the state and
Manager Saussy spent the greater part
of the day in the different exhibit
buildings. Nest of those who applied
for space were exhibitors from a
distance. The management is anxious
that the Savannah merchants apply
at once for space as the choice loca-
lions for exhibits are being rapidly
taken up by outsiders.
Work is moving along rapidly at fair
headquarters and the finishing touches
are being added along all lines. Mr..
Shaw is expected home by the middle
of the week and complete announce
ment will then be made concerning the
midway attractions.

WANTS $4,000 FOR
DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER.

j. n. ROweII Instituted Suit Against
NJ. a. VI. L. Co. In City Court.
A suit for defamation of character
was instituted by J. n. Rowell against
the Merchants and Miners Transpor-
tation Company in the City Court yes
terday. Through his attorneys,
Twiggs & Oliver, he asks that the
company be made to pay him $4,000
for the alleged injury.
Rowell, who is a young white man,
was employed by the company, his
duty being to inspect goods and repair
broken or injured freight. Last May
he was arrested on a charge of lar
ceny, the particular allegation being
that he distracted a dozen pairs of
sox from one of the packages which
had been injured, and concealed them
in a box in the office. He was tried
on the charge in the City Court, the
jury bringing in a verdict of not
guilty.
The complainant protests his inno-
cence and submits that as a result of
his arrest and Incarceration he was
subjected to the greatest humiliation
and modification and was out of en-
ployment for 100 days. He thinks the
company has injured him at least $10,-
900. The suit is returnable to the No
yenber term of the court.

nication in Macon, beginning Oct. 27
and continuing for two days. The body
has a membership of about 600, COM
posed of the active and past masters
of blue lodges and as all ma ster Masons
are eligible to attend the sessions, even
though they can't vote, there is always
a very large attendance at the annual
meeting

These ceremonies will be attendant
upon the laying of the cornerstone of
the Masonic Home. This event will
take place on the afternoon of Oct. q.

of the trustees of the home has been
called to take place in Macon the day
before the opening of the Grand Lodge.
Savannah is represented on this board
in the person of Mr.. Chas. F. Fulton.
Savannah is usually well represented
at the meeting of the Grand Lodge, as
might be expected of a city where the
fraternity is as strongly represented as
it is here. Just who will make the trip
has not yet beenedetermined and may
not be known definitely until the day of
