AVENUE WILL BEAR
COMMISSIONERS NAMES
LathrOp Ave. and Skidaway Road
as Moore Avenue.

West End Route to Be Known as
as Moore Avenue.
Lathrop avenue and Moore avenue
will be the names of two of the new
thoroughfares opened to the public by
the present board of County Commits
sioners, the names being given as a
compliment to Commissioners F. S.
Lathrop and A. B. Moore.
The proposed new road extending
from a point on the Ogeechee road just
beyond where it crosses the tracks
of the Savannah Union Station Com
pany to Stiles avenue, and over Stiles
avenue to the present city limits, and
the proposed new road to be laid out
and constructed from a point on the
Louisville road, just east of its inter-
section with the Augusta road over
the old water works road, SchWarz
avenue and the lands of F. A. Exley
from the northern end of Schwarz
avenue easterly to Stiles avenue, will
be named Lathrop avenue, in honor of
the present chairman of the board. The
work, when completed, will be a mag
nificent boulevard, and the avenue
which bears the name of Commissioner
Lathrop will constitute about the fin
est bit of road work ever done in Chat
ham county.
The old Skidaway road, the thorough
fare which has for nearly a century
borne that name, will hereafter be
known as Moore avenue. The road
extends from the city to LaRoche ave-
nue., and is one of the finest roads in
the country tributary to Savannah. Its
recent purchase from the Skidaway
Shell Company will be recalled by
readers of the Morning News.

Fish supper and Polite Vaudeville
Followed Trolley Ride.
The social features of the first day
of the T. p. A. convention were en-
joyed by the visitors and when they
returned to the city from Thunder
bolt at late hour last night they
with one accord agreed that a pleas
ant afternoon and evening had been
spent.
Before leaving the De Soto those who
are attending the convention were
photographed by NJ. Ed. Wilson. Five
Special trolley cars We're taken at
the hotel and trip over the belt lines
was made before the party was taken
to Thunderbolt. At the Casino an
elegant fish supper was served by
Mr.. L.. w. Nelson. The tables had
been prettily arranged and during the
supper music was rendered by the
First Regiment Band. Robert NJ. Hitch,
Esq, acted as master of ceremonies.
There were several impromptu ad-
dresses in which a dozen or more
stories were told-some of them clever
and new. Rev Ed. f. Cook entertain
ed the audience with two fish stories
and President Max Banner threw in
a dash or two of humor. Business
Manager Burrows praised the Georgia
officers, and particularly Secretary
Joseph S. Lovenstein of the Savannah
Post, Hon. T. w. Hardwick of Au-
gusta permitted himself to be persuad-

! He swayed his audience at will and
with scarcely an effort. He declared

fish story a lawyer should be per-

Negro Burglar Also Left Broaaax
and Clothing.
Nothing was heard yesterday by the
police of the burglar who was sur-
prised on Bay street at an early hour
IN the morning, and at whom five
shots were fired by Patrolman Nc
Grath. 1t is not generally believed
that the negro was wounded.
This, however, is only a matter of
opinion and he may have been struck
by a bullet from the uniformed mans
revolver. In his anxiety to get awav
the burglar dropped a 38-calibre Har-
rlngton q Richards revolver, a broad
ak, and a basket of clothes. There
was nothing about any of the articles
that gave the officers any clue upon
which to work. The negro was pre-
pared for almost any emergency and
some of the officers think that he
would have used the weapon if he had
not been struck by one of the bullets
from McGraths pistol
