STRIKER WAS SHOT
POLICE RESERVES CALLED OUT BY
YAMACRAW DISORDERS.
TWO SHOOTING AFFRAYS.
NON-UNION MAN FIRED INTO
CROWD ON BRYAN STREET.

Three shots from His Revolver
Scattered "A Crowd of Several Hun
dred, but So Far as Police Were
Able to Learn No One Was
Wounded-UnknOwn Striker Shot
Through Hand by NOn-UniOn Man
on Farm Street-POIice Expert
enced Greatest Difficulty in Get
ting Observation-Disclosures Was
Reported.
There was considerable disorder in
Yamacraw last night, including two
shooting ARRAYS, and the police reserves
were called out to maintain order.
Neither the strikers nor the non-union
men would give information to the uni
formed men and only one arrest was
made. There was no trouble after the
arrival of the reserve force from po-
lice headquarters, and long before mid
night the West Side was as quiet as
it could very well be.
The first trouble occurred on Bryan
street, about o'clock, and James
Young, a negro working on the Bal
timore wharf, was arrested by Patrol
man McGrath. Young is charged with
shooting his pistol in the street. 1t
appears that he was chased by par
ty of strikers and that he turned upon
them and fired three shots.
Although there were several hun
bred negroes on the street at the time
no one was hit, so far as the police
were able to learn. The officers, how
ever, could not understand how Young
could have failed to wing some one
in such crowd, unless he fired blank
cartridges. That he fired bullets, and
intended to MAIN, was shown by the
fact that the two unexploded cartridges
were not blanks. If any of the strik-
ers were wounded they were smuggled
away by their friends.
Another shooting ARRAY occurred on
William and Farm streets about an
hour later A striker was shot through
the hand. The uniformed men made
every effort to discover the identity
of the wounded negro, but without
success. None of the negroes would
admit knowing anything about the
shooting, although it was said that
a non-union man had fired the shots.
1t was stated that he had been at
tacKed by Dody OF SIrlkeTS anu IIldl
he drew his revolver and fired, after
which he made his escape.
Shortly after this trouble 1t was re-
ported at police headquarters that
one of the non-union men had been
held up, and robbed, and beaten on
the Bay Street Extension. Two mount
ed men, Cronin and Atkinson, were
hurried to the scene, but no one could
be found who could or would give
any information. The man who was
alleged to have been assaulted was not
located and nothing was learned of
his assailants. Several fisticuffs of
| minor Importance occurred during the
night and the force of uniformed men
was kept on the jump.

LA FRANCE ENGINE
PURCHASED BY CITY.
New Fire Machine VIII BE Largest
in South.

New Fire Machine Will BE Largest
i'm South.
A deal was closed yesterday between
Mayor Myers for the city and Mr., Asa
La France, inventor of the La France
fire engine, and representing the La
France Fire Engine Company, of Ell
mira, N. Y, whereby the city purchas-
ed a double, extra first-class fire en-
CINE, which will be added to the de-
partment to meet the requirements
of the Southeastern Tariff Association.
There was sharp competition between
the La France Fire Engine Company
and the Mott Manufacturing Com
pany, of Minneapolis, Mimi, both COM
panies submitting bids to the Fire
Committee of Council. Mr.. Reynolds,
representing the Mott Company, came
to Savannah to look after his COM
pany's interests here. AT the meeting
of Council Wednesday night the Fire
Committee made a report fsvoring the
La France engine and Mayor Myers
was authorized to make the purchase.
The new engine, which will be built
for the purpose and will be ready for
shipment in four months, will be the
largest south of Baltimore. Mr. La
France said yesterday that there are
in use at the present only a few en-
gines as large as the one Savannah
will have, and that there are none any
larger. The required capacity is 49,
900 gallons per minute. The La France
Fire Engine Company is building an
engine Of the same size and kind for
the fire department of Toledo, o.
Mr.. La France, who has been in
the city for several days, leaves for
Elmira this morning.

STREET PAVING STOPS
IN THREE WEEKS
when AbercOrn Street Is Finished
Bricks VIII Have Been Used.

bricks VIII Have Been Used.
When the paving of Abercorn street
has been completed, and this will be
within the next two or three weeks,
there will be no more street paving in
Savannah until about February.
Great difficulty has been experienced
in getting vitrified brick and the direc-
tor of public works does not believe
that he will be able to get a sufficient
quantity of the paving material to do
any more work before the time named.
The work of paving Abercorn street
is progressing nicely and brick has
been put down as far south as Thirty
fifth street. The street is to be paved
to Estill avenue. The two blocks from
Park avenue to Henry street will not
be paved until next year. The street
railway company must put down new
crossings at Duffy street, and heavier
rail on Abercorn. These two blocks
will be tackled when Park avenue is
paved.
Whitaker street will not be paved
until the sample brick that has been
put down at the intersection of Bryan
and Whitaker has been given a
thorough trial. All of this brick will
be in place by tonight, and by January
the director of public works will be able
to tell just what wear and tear the
Georgia article will stand.
Whitaker street will probably be the
first street paved next year, and at the
same time Broughton lane from Bull to
Barnard will be paved. Ordinances
have also been passed for the paving
OF Park avenue from Drayton to East
Broad, and West Broad street Is to be
extended from Gwinnett 70 Anderson.

PLAN TO RAISE MONEY
FOR GEORGIA BUILDING.
Hon. Martin ". Calvin Discusses Ag-
ricuIturaI SOcfety's scheme.


Hon. Martin v. Calvin, of Augusta,
representative from Richmond county
author of the Calvin Vagrancy Bill,
and who is also secretary of the Geor-
gia State Agriculture Society, arrived
in Savannah last night.
Mr.. Calvin had an appointment to
meet Gov. Terrell here, it being a part
of the programme for the Governor
to meet the officers of the Georgia As-
ricultural Society on Governor Day
for the purpose of discussing plans for
raising the $4,000 to erect a Georgia
building at the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition to be held in St. Louis next
year, and was not aware that the
Governor had cancelled his engagement
to visit Savannah to-day until his ar
rival last night.
Speaking of the plan which the Az
rioultural Society has in mind to
raise the money to defray the ex-
penses of erecting the Georgia building,
Mr.. Calvin says that the society had
| practically arranged to suggest that
| thirty cities and towns in the state
with a population of $500 and more
should raise the money, each subscrib-
| ing it's pro rata share, which, he fig
| ures, would be at the rate of 81. 20
for each person residing in the thirty
cities and towns of that population.
Mr.. Calvin also explained that In
| case Georgia does erect a building at
the St. Louis Exposition, the Georgia
exhibit provided for by the appropria-
ton of $4,000 by the state Legislature
will not be placed in the Georgia
building as some seem to think, but
the agricultural products will be placed
in one building, minerals in another
and each class of products will be put
on exhibition with others of the same
| class.
my idea of what the Georgia build
| ing should be in case it is erected,
said Mr. Calvin. lis that the upper
floor be reserved for a woman's depart
ment and that ground floor be con-
verified into a home for Georgia peo-
pie while visiting the exposition, some
thing on the order of a general rest
ing place where one will be able to
meet his friends, or at least people
from his native state"
Mr.. Calvin denies the report that has
| been circulated to the effect that $4,000
was raised at the fair recently held
in Macon for the Georgia building
and says that not one cent has as yet
been subscribed. II was eHpldlHeu
that Mai. ]. F. Hanson said in a
speech he made at Macon that before
ne would see the plan for the Georgia
building at the exposition entirely
abandoned he would be willing to be
one of fifty Georgians to subscribe
81, 900 each to raise the necessary fund,
and that one of his hearers cried out;
Major, I'll take you up on that"
whereupon Maj. Hanson said that ne
would not be willing to subscribe that
amount toward raising the fund unless
the people of the state abandoned the
plan, explaining that he thought that
amount too much for any one person to
be called upon to subscribe.
st cannot say when the officers of
the society will have a conference with
the Governor" said Mr.. Calvin, but
it is probable that another meeting
will be arranged for in the near fu-
ture.'

AN ELECTRIC PUMP
is BEING CONSIDERED.
At Grade Crossing Conference
Drainage VIII BE Discussed.

At Grade Crossing Conference
Drainage VIII BE Discussed.
At the grade crossing conference be-
tween President Erwin of the At
lantic Coast Line, President Baldwin
of the Savannah Electric Company, and
the special committee from City Coun-
Gil, to be held at the City Exchange
next week, the question Of drainage
under the plan for tunneling Gwin-
nett street, will be the one Of chief
Importance.
Just how to drain the street has
been the problem ever since the mat
ter has been under discussion. There
appears to be no doubt that it will
be necessary to have an electric pump
in order to keep the land thoroughly
drained. The water would be run into
Bilbo canal but it has been contended
that a combination of high tide and
heavy rainfall would mean the over
flow of the surrounding land. These
are difficulties that the engineers have
been working to overcome, but with
what degree of success will not be
known until the conference.
BY tunneling Gwinnett street two
grade crossings will be abolished and
the street railway tracks on Bolton
street will come UP. These tracks have
been Objectionable for a long while and
it is the plan of the city to insist that
they be taken up from Abercorn street
to the railroad crossing.
In return the city will agree to let
the electric company put double tracks
on Gwlnnett street. The street rail-
way people will probably ask that
the Gwinnett street tracks be extend
ed to Abercorn- street, if they are
forced to take up those on Bolton
street. If the scheme goes through as
is expected Gwinnett street will be
paved with vitrified brick and will
become quite a thoroughfare.

TURPENTINE TANK
C0MPANY'S MEETING.
Matters of Interest to Factors and
Operators Discussed.


An initial meeting of the National
Tank and Export Company was held
yesterday in the Offices of the Ellis
Young Company Matters pertaining
to details of the company's manage
ment were discussed, and the under
standing was that the election of Off
GERS and other matters are to come up
at a later meeting.
Discussing the meeting one man said
1t is apparent the recent sale of tank
company stock to operators has brought
about a closer relation between them
and factors, which promises to result
in joint efforts for their mutual bene-
fit. What benefits one also helps the
other, and the time has come, 1t is said,
when this fact is appreciated by all
concerned.
The new interests were represented
at the meeting. All interests were in
fact, well represented, which will en-
able the stockholders at the next meet
ing to-day to discuss all features per-
tanning to the management OF the
tanks. 1t is thought the matter of
building new tanks will be discussed.

SHANGHAI CASES HAVE
BEEN POSTPONED.
Smuggling Cases Not TO Go Before
L. s. CommissiOner.

L. y. Com isStOner'
The first business to come before
United States Commissioner W. r,
Hewlett was yesterday at noon, when
he was called on to assign the shang-
hal cases against Henry Olsen, John
Blum and Jack johnson, the latter a
negro. Mr.. r. L. Colding appeared
for Olsen, and Mr.. H. L. Wilson for
Johnson. Blum was not represented.
owing to engagements by the at
torneys it was agreed to assign the
hearings for Tuesday afternoon at 4
o'clock, this being the earliest date
that United States Attorney w. R.
Leaken can be present, as he must
leave for Augusta Sunday night to at
tend the session OF the United states
court in that city, which will be opened
Monday.
In regard to these shanghai cases
Mr. Leaken stated yesterday that none
VIII be dropped. but that everyone
of them Will be tried before the COM
missioner or presented to the consid-
Grafton OF the grand jury. Mr.. Leaken
has no doubt that some of the cases
are good and some bad, but this he
says, he has no power to determine
that being within the province of the
commissioner, who sits as magistrate
and finds probable cause.
Mr. Leaken announced that no fur
Their cases against Brnson on the
charge of smuggling cigars will be
hCa ID before the commissioner, but
that all such cases will go before the
grand jury Nov. 10, that is, the cases
of all those who have not accepted
the offer of the government to accept
$50 per 1000 cigars as payment for duty.
1t is understood that number of the
parties interested dispute Brinsons ac-
count as to the number of cigars de-
livered them.
On this point the law, Mr. Leaken
says, makes it probable that if 100 ci-
gars were received the chances are
that a fine of $1,000 or more will be
the penalty. Under the statutes the
receiving or bringing of cigars into
the country without paying the duty
makes the offender subject to a maxi
mum fine of not more than $4,000, or
imprisonment for five years, for each
offense.

The Laurel Wreath and Taps Mark

ed the Last Rites over DIR. Read.
The funeral of the late Dr.. James
B. Read took place yesterday afternoon
from the Cathedral of st. John the
Baptist. The remains arrived from
Green Cove Springs, by the Atlantic
Coast Line train, and were taken i'm
mediately from the train to the Cathed-
raj. A large concourse of people had
gathered, filling the edihce almost to
the doors, to pay tribute to the memory
Of him, who had been their friend.
1t was an impressive scene as the
solemn rites of the church were cele-
brated. Bishop Kelley was assisted
by Rev. Father Kennedy, and by Rev.
Father Mcmahon of Augusta. The
Bishop paid a lofty tribute to the
virtues of DR.. Read as a member of
the Roman Catholic Church, and as a
man. He explained briefly why the
bodies of it's deceased members are
brought into the church and dwelt upon
the reward of those who die in the
faith.
After the services at the Cathedral
the cortege proceeded to the cemetery
where the interment took place. Bishop
Kelley again otficiated. The Confed-
crate Veterans formed part of the es-
cort, and at the conclusion of the bur-
ial rites placed a wreath of laurel
| upon the grave. The soldiers good
night was sounded upon the bugle
over the last resting place of him
who had been the comrade and friend
of those who wore the grey. The
grave had already been covered with
rich flowers, tokens of love and af-
lection, until the mound Of earth was
hidden from sight.
The pallbearers who were personal
friends of DR.. Read were Messrs. Otis
Ashmore. A. J. OHara, E. N. Han
cock, NJ. A. O'Byrne, H. A. Crane
w. w. Owens, w. w. Williamson, and
j. p. White.
The gathering both at the Cathedral
| and at the cemetery was composed OF
people from every walk in life. Few
men held more closely the affections
of the people than did DR.. Read, and
| those who assent led to pay the last
tribute of respect had the conscious
ness that he had gone to his f1nal
rest, having performed every duty OF
life faithfully and we'll.

WILL AMPUTATE
MARTINS LEG
Operation to he Performed On
CHILEAN Sailor To-Day.

Operation to BE Performed On
CHILEAN Sailor To-day.
The surgeons of st. Joseph's Hospital
will to-day perform an operation on
John Dellacries Martin, the Chilian
sailor whose leg was eaten off by a
shark while the Mergherita, the Italian
bark. which he was serving, was
rounding the point of Cape Horn last
August.
The operation, which will be of a
very delicate nature, is necessary in Or
der to save the life of the sailor. AL
though the left leg was eaten off about
three inches below the knee almost as
smoothly as if it had been cut on the
operation table, the surgeons find it
necessary to remove a portion of the
bone in the leg, which will take the
leg off several inches above the knee
Martin has been resting easy since
having been carried to st. Joseph's
and If the operation proves successful
of which no doubts are entertained,
will recover. His right arm, which
was crushed in the fail of over forty
feet from the rigging of the vessel
into the water, is healing where the
bore was broken. and 1t will not be
necessary to amputate that member, as
was at first feared.
