CITY AND COUNTY
TO DISCUSS TOLL pond.
Council Committee to Meet County
commissioners.


Commissioners.
No day has been set for the meeting
of the Joint Committee of Streets and
Lanes and Finance, of the City Coun-
Gil and the County Commissioners to
consider the advisability and expedi-
ency of purchasing the old Vernon
road, also called the White Bluff toll
road. 1t is expected, however, that the
committees and commissioners will get
together at an early day and talk the
matter over thoroughly. The road has
long been a toll road and the people
of the county living out that way, and
the city people who have occasion to
use the road. are anxious that il
should be free from fees and improv-
ed and cared for as are the other roads
in the county.
1t is understood that Mr.. d. B. Les
ter, owner of the road has offered to
sell for about $4,000 The county and
city authorities can easily see the adj
vantage of having the road, but 1t is
said that the figures are not exactly
satisfactory.
A largely signed petition was pre-
sented to City Council Wednesday aft
ernoon and another was sent to the
County Commissioners and in each it
was urged that the road be secured,
or paralleled.

ENGINEER WALSH VICTIM
OF UNUSUAL ACCIDENT.
Thrown Back by Obstacle on

Thrown Back by Obstacle on
Track.
J. T. Walsh. an Atlantic Coast Line
switch engineer. was the victim of a
most unusual accident yesterday
morning at the Southern Railway
junction. which necessitated the am
putation of his left arm at the Shout
der joint, and in all probability will
cost him his life.
The accident was one unheard of
among railroad men. The engine
which was being driven by Walsh was
following behind a freight train. A
car replacer dropped off the freight
engine, and was in the middle of the
track. When the switch engine reach
ed the point where the replacer was
laying Engineer Walsh attempted to
reverse his engine and avoid run
ming into it, as he was afraid it would
strike his fire box and injure it, but
before he could bring his engine to
a standstill the shifting link, connect
ing with the reverse lever in Walsh's
hand, struck the car shifter and
threw the reverse lever against
Walsh's shoulder so violently that the
left arm between the elbow and shout
der was crushed, and the shoulder
bones badly broken
Walsh was Immediately taken to
st. Joseph's Infirmary Drs. Clay and
Johnson were called in and it was at
once decided that an operation remov-
ing the left arm was necessary. The
operation was performed successfully.
but the physicians have little hope
for Walsh's recovery as he suffered
much from the shock and loss of blood,
and. being a tuberculosis patient, his
condition is considered hopeless
Engineer Walsh has been in the en-
ploy of the Atlantic Coast Line for
twenty years, and was retired from
running on the main lines on account
of i'll health. He is married and has
three children.

BUILDING OPERATIONS
IN PROGRESS.
New Houses Going Up, and the Sum-
mer "A Lively One for Builders.

Savannah having started in with the
year TO break all the previous records
in building has passed the six-months
mile post with flying colors, and start
cd in on the second half Of the year
with the merry ring of the hammer
and saw, trowel and chisel to be heard
in many directions.
The record for the first half of the
year showed that the number of per-
mits for new buildings was above that
for the whole year of 1902, and since
July l considerable new work has been
started.
The work of building pretty, modern
residences in the section of the city
south of Park avenue continues, and
within a short time this section of the
city will be sOldily built UP. From
Thirty-first to Fortieth streets, east
and west, the change that has come

bic and those people who have been

growth and prosperity The excellent
service given on the trolley line has in
considerable measure accelerated this
growth of what had been considered
suburb, but which is now near enough
in town for anybody.
other suburban sections are building
up. notably along the recently com
pleted Mill-Haven line. 1t is noticed
that a great many cottages are being
started or planned for sections along
this new route and the development of
this territory win be rapid.
Work is. however not confined to the
suburbs and a number of modern build
ings are under way in the down town
sections. A new apartment house Is
to go up on State street, east, near
Bun. and improvements are noted in
various portions of the city.
The changes in the city boundaries
that will soon be announced by the
special committee of Council will make
differences and increase building in
the east and south. as these sections
will then come within the city author
ity and be entitled to city protection,
lights. water and other improvements.

TYBEE MYSTERY
STILL UNSOLVED.
Relatives of w. 5. Love Satisfied He
WINS DROWNED.


There were no further developments
yesterday in the case of w. S. Love,
who was either drowned at Tybee
Wednesday night or went away for
some unexplained reason. Two theo-
ries are offered for the solution Of
the mystery The first, held by Mr.
Loves friends, is that he was drowned,
and. the second, the more generally
accepted one, is that he left the island
for some reason known only to him.

Mr.. r. K. Shaw, a brother-in-law of
the missing man. reached savannah
yesterday to investigate the matter
He went to Tybee and made inquiries
there, but returned to Savannah last
night. He is satisfied that his rela-
tive has been drowned and has even
made arrangements with Mr.. Jonn
Goette to take charge of the BODY
when it shall be found and send the
remains to Quincy, Mr.. Loves home
for burial.
Mr. Shaw made the following state
ment to the Morning News:

Mr.. Love was drowned. In behalf OF

perhaps more, and besides owned an

ENCAMPMENT SITE
A HEALTHY ONE.
Camp Grounds High and Dry, and
Water Pure and Plentiful.

Camp Grounds High and Dry, and
Water Pure and Plentiful.
Inquiries have been made of the
Morning News relative to the sanitary
condition of the site for the encamp-
ment of the First Cavalry; the water
supply, and the manner in which the
men are to be housed.
In selecting the site, one of the
strongest points urged in it's favor was
its sanitary and hygenic condition.
The place which has heretofore been
used by the Savannah Fair Associa-
ton and the Racing Association, is
thoroughly drained. In discussing
changes in the site necessary for it's
adaptability to the uses of the caval
ry, it was decided to modest none of
the drains in leveling the ground
The site for the tents is one of the
highest points within the fair grounds.
While more convenient place could
have been chosen, nearer the mess hail,
this was not done, because the commit
tee thought that security from the
common ills of cold and headaches,
should not be sacrificed for conven-
ience's sake. The site was therefore
selected in the end of the race course,
The men will not, of course, have to
sleep on the ground. The Chamber of
Commerce, at a large expense, are
building floors for the tents. The
horses will also be properly housed in
stalls built for the country's thorough
BREEDS.
The water which will be used in
camp comes from an artesian we'll
which is sunk 800 feet deep. The wa
ter is pumped into tank by means of
a windmill. 1t is clear and healthy.
When Maj. Kenan inspected the camp
a few weeks ago, he remarked part1c-
ularly upon the excellent quality and
liberal supply of water on the grounds,
and partook of several draughts from
the hydrants. 1t is the same water
which has been used during the prog
ress of the fairs and race meets. While
it has not, as far as it is able to be
ascertained. been analysed, it has been
pronounced of excellent quality by
those who have tasted it.
Camp Lathorp, consisting of 120 con-
victs, has been moved to the fair
grounds, and are sbusily engaged in the
preparation of the camp.
