BIG FOUNDRY. ADDED
TO CARWoRKS
Built and Equipped at Outlay of
$4,000.

The Georgia Car and Manufacture
ing Company has added to it's plant an
extensive iron foundry, the largest in
the state. Work On the foundry build
ings. and the Installation of equip
ment have just been completed and
although a number of heats have been
taken this week, the foundry will not
be running full before Monday.
The addition was made at an ex-
penditure of more than $4,000. 1t is
equipped with all the modern APP
planes used in an up-to-date foun-
dry. 1t is provided with a Bottom Gu
palo of the latest design, from which
several heats are taken daily. For the
foundry department, a new building,
substantial, and well lighted and VEN
tilated has been built at a cost of
about $4,000 Small railways used III
moving the molten iron, pattern shops
and all the necessary adjunctS of a
we'll equipped foundry have been in
stalled and as soon as the necessary
number of experienced moulders have
arrived, which will be early next week,
the foundry will run it's full capacity.
The experimental work of the week
has proven more than successful. The
only difficulty experienced was due to
the fact that the negro helpers and a
large proportion of the workmen have
had little experience in this kind of
work, moulding being an industry COM
paratively foreign to this section OF
the country. Numbers of workmen,
about thirty all told, have been sent
for and are arriving almost daily COM
ing from Gadsden Admission, Birming-
ham and Chattanooga, these being the
central iron working points of the
south.
Heretofore all the iron castings
used by the car company were pur-
chased at the iron centers, a large pro-
portion coming from the Ross eham
Company, of Chattanooga, Tenn. Ow-
ing to the fact that all the pig iron has
to be shipped here it has been thought
that local foundry of this character
would not prove successful and that
competition could not exist between
local foundries and those in the iron
centers. But recently the great loss
occasioned by delay in the delivery and
the filling of orders has been so great
that considerable amount will be
saved by working up the pig iron To-
cally. Now the company can make
any desired castings on a days no
tice while heretofore orders have been
delayed many weeks merely on account
of a small coupler or some other cast

be carried in stock
The car company now has one of the
best equipped plants of this character
in the entire South and constant addi-
tons have been made to it's capacity
for the accommodation of its growing
trade
The building of this foundry also has
another important application locally
as it means that the large amounts
of money which have been maid ont
every day to the nfalleab BILE iron works
of other cities will remain in Savan-
nah and a number of new citizens,
earning good wages and forming a
valuable and reliable citizenship, have
been located here.

A trademark is usually some one
particular mark on goods to show their
origin, but, as a matter of fact, any
new, original quality, feature or char
acteristic of an article of manufacture
if widely made known through adver-
Using, becomes valuable as trade
mark, and is protected by the courts
so that one article may have many
trademarks that belong to it alone
Thus for example, in the case of Cas-
carrots, Candy Cathartic, the name
"Cascarets," the expression Candy Ca
thartic,' the peculiar shape and color
of box, the octagonal tablet, and
the letters &C. C. c." on each tablet,
all are expressive trade marks" of
that popular medicine, because they in
dictate their genuineness, distinguish
them from limitations and have become
universally known to the people.-ad.

FELL TO HIS DEATH
IINEMAN A. ]. Craps KNOCKED
FROM POLE BY ELECTRICITY.
WAS KILLED INSTANTLY.
HIS HEAD STRUCK COBBLEsToNE
AND WAS CRUSHED IN.

Midnight Tragedy on Zubly street

wards and Dashed His Brains on
the Pavement - Negro Saw the
Electricity shoot From Fuse Box
and Witnessed the Fail.
While working at the top of 25-foot
pole on Zubly street, between West
Broad and Laurel, Andrew ]. Craps, a
lineman for the Savannah Electric
Company, received an electric shock
about midnight last night that caused
him to fall to the street below. His
death was instantaneous.
The right side of the mans head
struck a loose cobblestone just on the
edge of the sidewalk. His brains were
scattered over the stone and over the
cobblestones on Zubly street, and
his head was crushed and mangled
Craps plunge to death was witnes 5ed
by John Harris, a negro who was sit
ting on the corner of West Broad street
Harris was watching the lineman at
work on the top of the pole.
Was Examining Fuse Box.
During the electric storm in the aft
ernoon the lights in YOunglove & Sip
pies stables, at West Broad and Zubly
streets, were burned out and the cleo
trio company was notified. Craps was
sent out to locate the trouble and had
climbed the pole on Zubly street, next
to the stables. He carried lighted
lantern and was examining the fuse
box at the top of the pole when the
attention of the negro was attracted
Harris saw flashes of electricity shoot
from the box and saw the lineman
tumble backwards. Craps climbers"
were deep in the side of the pole and
for an instant the unfortunate man
hung suspended by his feet. Not a
sound escaped his lips, and he was
probably unconscious then. The
climbers" pulled themselves from the
pole and the doomed lineman dropped
to the paved street below. With him
tumbed his lantern and tools.
Heard Him Fnll.
Patrolman King, of the Ocean Steam
ship force, sitting on his stoop nearly
a block away heard Craps as he
struck the ground, and was among the
first to reach him. There was nothing
that could be done for him, however,
and Coroner Keller was notified. The
coroner arrived on the scene early and
after viewing the remains and hearing
the story of the negro Harris, gave
permission for the removal of the body
1t was turned over to Fox & Weeks
to be prepared for burial and no in
quest will be held. Craps lived at
No. POI York street, west, and had a
family. He was at the head of one of
the Savannah Electric Company S
overhead gangs" and was popular
with the men under him. His asso-
ciates spoke in the highest terms of
Craps and his tragic death was
great shock to them.

number of cases until next Friday.
The prisoners were of all sizes and
ages, but only one was white. Only
one of the defendants arraigned was

Charleston Kid" was fined $50 or
twelve months for picking a pocket in

LONG DISTANCE AND
MEDAL MATCHES TO-DAY
Programme for Last Day of Shoot Is
an Interesting One.

an Interesting One.
The programme for the last day of
the shoot is a most interesting one. In
addition to the long distance shooting
from the 900 and 1,000-yard ranges,
which is novel enough to demand much
attention, there will be several medal
matches.
The long distance shooting will begin
at s O'Clock. at which time the United
States marines will conclude the
scores begun on the S00-yard range yes
terday. They will shortly thereafter
leave for Port Royal. The Savannah
men will not shoot in this match until
4 o'clock, and it is expected that there
will be many visitors to watch it. The
long-distance ranges may be best
reached by alighting from the cars at
the East Savannah station.
The individual matches, with the re-
volver and rifle, will be concluded to-
day, and while the marines are at the
long-distance targets, the Savannah
ians will contest in these matches. The
military championship revolver match
and the revolver championship match
viii both be concluded, while the re-
Volver team match will be shot.
Highest Scores Made.
The highest score so far made in the
military championship match is that
of Mr.. w. T. Dixon, he having
made "a out of 25 at 25 yards % out
or 70 at 90 yards, and % out of 25
at 10 yards, a total of 70 out of rs.
The highest score yet made in the
revolver championship match is also
held by Mr.. Dixon, his score being
1TS
The consolation prize will probably
go to Maj A. L. Williams of the First
Alabama regiment who made the ex-
cellent score of "a out of a possible
IS points. The highest score in the
Myers medal class, which is being shot
at the 200 and 500 yard ranges is held
oy Capt. Austin who made 46 at 200
yards, and As at 800 yards, the pos
sible score in each case being so.
The scores in the Levy, Theus and
Estill medal matches are not known.
Ihey are not high, however, and il is
probable that they will all be beaten
IN the competition to-day. These
matches are attracting much atten-
loh, and II is probable that there will
be many contestants. The entries viii
close at O'Clock. The matches are
open to everybody. Following are
the distances, number of shots. prizes

tition in each case:
