COUNCIL WILL HOLD
A BUSY SESSION.
Aldermen Opposed 70 Putting Up Of
BOOth in ChippeMn square.

Aldermen Opposed 70 Putting Up of
Booth in Chippewa square.
Unless several members of City Coun-
Gil change their minds during the day
the Chamber of Commerce will not be
permitted to place a booth in Chippewa
Square during the Baptist convention,
or at any other time.
1t is argued that if permission is CIV
en- for the placing of an advertising
booth in the square dangerous prece-
dent will be esta blshed and a world
of harm will be done. Several alder
men so expressed themselves yester-
day. They said that it was not simply
the case before them at this time, but
that the future must be considered.
To-night's regular meeting of Coun-
Gil will probably be a rather lengthy
one, although no matters of great i'm
portance will come up, unless there are
developments to-day.
Mr.. J. Robert Creamer will be for
mally elected clerk of Council. without
opposition. He has been filing the Of
flee in an acceptable manner since the
last regular meeting of Council when
he was appointed by Mayor Myers.
The protest from the Colonial Danes
against the destruction of the City Ex-
change will be read and probably re-
ceived as information.
A petition asking Council to name a
committee of five to meet committees
from the several trade bodies. Thurs
day night, for the purpose of taking
up the matter of securing the next
reunion of the Confederate Veterans
Association for Savannah, will be read
and acted upon.
A resolution will also probably be
passed inviting the Travellers Protec-
tive Association to hold its convention
in 1905 in this city. 1t is doubtful If
the city will appropriate any money
at this time for the purpose of send
ing a delegate to Indianapolis to ex-
tend the invitation. Members of Coun-
ell think that it will be time enough
to do this next year.

HOUSE AND BARN WITH
CONTENTS BURNED

A telephone call at $3.50 O'Clock yes
terday afternoon was the occasion of
sending a wagon out from fire station
No. 6, Barnard and Thirty-eighth
streets. The firemen found the two
story frame house of G. w. Thompson,
colored, on Bull street extended, near
Hill street, in flames. AS there is no
water supply and the fire had attained
great Roadway there was little to do
but to watch the destruction. The
house was owned and occupied by
Thompson, who could give go no
cause for the fire and was much dis
tressed over the loss of his home and
nearly all his possessions. Very little
of the furniture was saved and the
barn, which was close to the house,
was also burned, with it's contents. The
family dog and chickens persisted in
the fire.

TRIED TO BURN BLOOM
INGDALE SCHOOL HOUSE.
Incendiaries Started the Fire With
Straw and KindIinE wood.

Straw and kindIinE wood.
At attempt was made TO burn the
Bloomingdale school house night be-
fore last. A fire was started unded
the building with straw and kindling
wood and the flames were running up
the side of the building when they
were seen by people living in the
neighborhood. An alarm was given
and in a short time the fire was ex-
tinguished. 1t had not gained much
Roadway in the building and compare
lively little damage was done.
The fire was discovered about 7:30
o'clock. The school house is among
the newest of the country school houses
and was erected four years ago. 1t is
located a short distance from the Cen
trail Railroad sta tion back from the
road in a grove. Under cover of dark
ness it was an easy matter for the
incendiary to start the fire without
fear of discovery.
Miss Eunice Horton, of No. SIG
Thirty-eighth street, west is the
teacher. The first she knew of the
fire was when she went to Blooming
dale yesterday morning. Upon her re-
turn ITO the city she reported the mat
ter to Supt Ashmore who Immediately
took steps to guard the school house,
fearing that another attempt may be
made to burn it. Supt. Ashmore said
that every effort will be made to cap
ture the incendiaries and they will be
prosecuted to the fullest extent of the
law.
The superintendent, said he had no
Theory as to the cause for the at
tempt to burn the building. The Board
of Education has given Bloomingdale
one of the finest country school houses
in the county and it proposes to pro-
tect it from incendiarism, if possible.
There are about fifty pupils and the
town has been proud of the school.

Thousands of Delegates and Wis
itOrs Expected Here Next Week.
The Southern Baptist Convention is
now very near at hand and those who
are expecting to entertain visitors are
getting their houses in readiness to re-
who come with them will begin to pour
in early next week, and when they
come some at least will be here for
two weeks or longer. The convention
proper begins Friday, May 8, but there
are a number of meetings and events
that will precede the regular sessions,
and some side trips and excursions that
will come in after the regular meet
ings are over. By the payment of a
small fee an extension will be given
on the excursion tickets, and many
will avail themselves of this privilege
and spend several weeks here and in
this vicinity. Savannah will be at its
hight in beauty, and the weather is
likely to be perfect. The people are
ready to welcome and entertain all
who come, and the occasion cannot fail
to be delightful and interesting to citi-
zens and visitors alike.
The meetings of the convention will
be held in the First Baptist Church
and in the Tabernacle, which will be
re-erected in the Park Extension, in
ample time for use in this connec-
ton.
One of the most interesting events
in connection with the gathering of
the Southern Baptists here will be
the anniversary banquet of the Alumni
Association of the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary, which will be
given at the De Soto Hotel, Thursday
evening, May 7. A number of distin-
guished speakers will take part in this
event.

City Court and Court of Ordinary
VIII Not Meet Again Until May
Term.
Both the City Court and the Court
of Ordinary adjourned for the term
yesterday, the latter having finished
the April and the former, the Feb
ruary term. Both will convene on
Monday for the May term.
There will be no criminal business
in the City Court on Friday, the cases
which would otherwise come up on
that day having been assigned for a
hearing on Monday afternoon. The
civil docket for the term will be called,
and cases assigned for trial for the
entire term, on Monday morning at 10
O'Clock. Several cases have already
been set by consent, but these are few.
The criminal business will be tried
beginning at o'clock. As the docket
for the term is heavy it is likely that
the attention of the court will be oc-
cupied throughout the day.
No more cases will be tried in the
Court of Ordinary until the beginning
of the new term except lunacy cases
Three of these will be tried Tomorrow
afternoon.

PRISONER ACCUMULATED JAG.
Woman Was Sent to City Exchange
and Tanked Up.

Although a prisoner. serving a term
for drunkenness, Lizzie Dennerson, a
negro woman well known in police cir
Giles, managed to accumulate jag yes
terday and have herself sent back to
the police station house in the patrol
wagon.
The woman was kept around police
headquarters as a workhand and had
been detailed, with another woman, to
scrub the floors of the City Exchange.
At the dinner hour she did not return
to the station house as instructed, but
went the rounds in search of booze.
Lizzie Slapped up drink after drink
and then attempted to sleep her load
off in the basement of the City Mar
ket. There she was found in a drunken
stupor by Patrolman Kearney. She will
be arraigned in Police Court this morn

COUNCIL WILL MEET
RAILROAD PRESIDENT
MIR. Erwin of A. c. l.. VIII Confer
with City Fathers.

Upon the arrival in Savannah this
morning of President r. G. Erwin of
the Atlantic Coast Line, a conference
will be held with representatives of the
city, looking towards the opening of
certain streets across the tracks of the
railroad company.
The city is anxious to have the rail-
road company move it's coal chute near
Bolton street, so that Waldburg street
can be opened into Collinsvine. This
is the most important of the matters
that will he discussed. The city is also
seeking to have Thirty-eighth, Thirty
ninth, Habersham and Lincoln streets
opened across the company's tracks.
Members of the Streets and Lanes
Committee and the Committee on Open
ing Streets looked over the ground
yesterday so as to be able to talk in
telligibly with President Erwin. Act
ing under instructions from City Coun-
Gil the city attorney recently wrote
President Erwin, asking him for a con-
ference on the matter of opening
streets.

POLICE STOPPED A WHIPPING.
Mothers of Juvenile Offenders
Severe With the LaSh.

One after the other Eddie Bourquin,
John Galloway and Walter Austin, 10
year-old negro boys charged with COM
hitting a criminal assault upon Laura
Kicks. a colored girl of the same age,
were whipped in the stables at police
headquarters yesterday morning until
the officers had to interfere.
The Juveniles We're regularly arraign-
ed before Alderman Watson for a
crime that is punishable by death. They
had never seemed to realize the serI-
BUSINESS of the offense. and were not
particularly worried when they faced
the alderman.
The parents were in court and were
told that the boys would be released if
they were soundly thrashed. The
mothers of the boys went to work with
the lash in great shape, and the juve-
niles would probably have been carted
home in the ambulance but for the In
reference of the police.

Walter Stewart. the negro porter at

ly shot by James Sullivan, a young
telegraph operator, is still a patient
at the Georgia Infrmary.
No hopes are entertained for the ne
gro's recovery, and he has never re-
gained consciousness. An operation
was performed at the infirmary yes
terday but the porter's condition was
unchanged at an early hour this morn
ing.
Sullivan is still detained at the po-
lice station house and has employed
counsel. He tells his story in a straight
forward manner and there is no ques-
ton but that he thought the pistol
was unloaded. He is held, however
for the reason that he was guilty OF
an unlawful act when he pointed the
weapon at the negro, and is legally
guilty of manslaughter if the negro
dies.
