only question of Importance that came
up. Bills, amounting to $14,974.33 were
passed for payment.
The petition of Collins, Grayson K

that they were forced to pay for wir-
ing that had been passed as satisfac-
tory by Electrician Claiborne, and aft
erwards condemned by Electrician
Hancock and a representative of the
Southeastern Tariff Association, was
referred to the Fire Committee. 1t
is probable that there will be inter
esting developments in this matter.
Alderman Graysoni amended his au-
tomobile ordinance; and it was passed,
although Alderman Davant suggested
that it remain on the table until the
next meeting. The ordinance provides
that there must be a lighted lamp on
each machine after dark and not three,
as originally intended, and that a
gong, whistle or horn be sounded at
every turn, instead of at every street
crossing.
Fire Chief Mcguire was allowed 500

HUNTED FOR GOLD
BUT COIN WAS MISSING
Gov. Terrell Failed to Sign "Pay for Aldermen
Bill Before City Council Met

All twelve aldermen attended the
regular meeting of City Council yes
terday. although they were not given
the gold pieces that they are reason
ably certain to get at the next meet
ing.
II the eagles had been tucked away
under any OF the rule books or writ
ms pads the members of Council
would have located them, but the
money was nowhere in sight One or
two of the aldermen were rather timid
and did not begin to search for the
gold coin just as soon as they sat
down.
The pay for aldermen bill had not
been signed by Gov. Terrell, and the
members of Council soon realized that
they were serving without compensa-
tior. Some were rude enough to say
hari things aloud about the Cover
roI oven sight, while others thought
under their breath. Considerable was
said about the failure of the Governor
to sign the bill before the meeting,
bur the matter did not come up while
Council was in session and no action
was taken.

IN CYCLONES FURY

lowed in by Tug Iris, of Bruns-
wick Yesterday Afternoon.
Standing upon the deck of his dis
mantled vessel as it was made fast
at the wharves of the Ocean Steam
ship Company last night, Capt. Zinc,
of the Italian bark Martinin told of
his voyage and how the spars were
lost in a cyclone that struck the boat
on the goth of July. Capt. Zinc does
not speak English very well and in
his description of the storm he used
his hands and the tone of his voice
as much as the words, making a very
picturesque scene in the darkness and
the misty rain.
It was not a very plain story, in the
way it was told and illustrated, but
sufficient was gathered to know that
the Martinin, after leaving Fowey, a
small port in Cornwall county, Eng
land, on Nav 20 fair weather was
made for nearly two months On the
morning of July 20 when in latitude
$3.50 and longitude rs, storm came
up and the ship was badly used. The
foremost went down, close to the deck
and the mainmast snapped about half
way up.
The captain and crew put to their
trumps to keep the wreckage from
capsizing the vessel, but managed to
cut away the spars and rigging ana
then gave attention to the pumps.

Stockholders of Racing Association
to Meet for Conference.
A joint meeting of committees rep
resenting the Chamber of Commerce
and the Savannah Racing Association
was to have been held at the Cham
Der of Commerce yesterday afternoon,
but on account of absence from the
city Of several members of the former
committee no joint action was taken.
Members of the Racing Association
Committee talked over the situation
informally and then decided to call
general meeting Of the association
for next Tuesday afternoon at the
Chamber of Commerce.
Speaking of the races, after the
meeting. one of the members of the
association, who is on the special
committee, said that he IS greatly in
hopes that plans will be agreed upon
for race meet this fall. The people
have come to expect something of the
kind, and in his opinion it would be
a mistake to abandon the week. A
fair such as suggested even though
it might not be entirely new to some
of the visitors, always draws a crowd
of people to the city. The fair and
races, he said, ought to be held about
the middle or latter part of November.

MERCURY TOUCHED
81 DEGREE MARK.

The mercury climbed up to 81 de-
grees yesterday and made Savannah
anything but comfortable The sun
shone strong and uncompromisingly
nearly the whole day, and those whose
duties kept them much in the open
concluded that it must be near a hun
bred. 1t was warm enough even at 81,
and this made the mean temperature
two degrees above normal. The record
is now a few degrees above the nor
NAL for August, but there is a tradi~
ton that there is always "cool week"
in every August Savannah will be
glad to get it whenever it comes. The
clouds put up another bluff last night.
and there was something of an cleo
trio display, but the threatened storm
did not appear and the rain was hard
ly enough to lay the dust.

WILL CHANGE TELEPHONES
IN GAMEWELL BOXES.
Fight Brewing Between Telephone
Co. and Police Department.

Co. and Police Department
What is a telephone?
This question was asked generally
around the City Exchange yesterday
when Supt. Garfunkel Of the ponce
department announced that he intends
to purchase for his department ap-
paratus that is now rented from the
Georgia Telephone and Telegraph
Company.
The police chief says that he can
purchase the best receivers and trans
mitters at a cost of not more than 30,
and that he has to pay the telephone
company "a a year for their use. he
called upon Acting Mayor DIXON ana
asked for his approval OF the plah "
have the department purchase It's own
receivers and transmitters, ana mus
save money.
1t was found that Mayor Myers had
signed a contract with the Georgia
company for five years, in when II
agreed that all city telephones WouIn
be kept in service at the same ngures.
The Acting Mayor told the police chleI
to 20 ahead and use his own judgment
in the matter, and Supt. Garfunkel
will notify the Georgia company lndl
IL must move It's receivers anu tIetu9
mitters out of the Gamewell boxes on
Oct l. At that time the police che1
says he will have apparatus pur-
chased with department funds.
The city owns the wiring and other
parts of the phone system in the
Gamewell boxes, except the transmit
ters and receivers. Chief Gartunkel
says that a receiver and transmitter
without any connections, is not tele-
phone in his opinion, and that he
will go to work on this theory, after
his conversation with the Acting May
or He is preparing to make the change
and will put it up to the telephone
company to make the fight.

Water was shipped in great quantities
during the cyclone and the crew
worked faithfully and long to get it
out. The storm, which was in the
nature of a cyclone, was at it's worst
about O'clock in the morning, and
during the day the winds abated and
calm followed.
Calm After the Storm.
After this the winds were variable
and light and Capt. Zinc said that
with his reduced sail area he could
only make twenty, and sometimes thir-
ty miles a day. A day or two ago he
was reported off Charleston and offered
assistance. but the captain decided that
he had come a considerable distance
with few spars, and would finish his
voyage. Yesterday morning he was
off the Savannah river and having
fallen in with the tug Iris of Bruins
wick. took tow in and was brought up
to the Ocean Steamship Company's
wharves last night.
The Martinin, even in the darkness.
last night showed that she had seen
hard usage, for the stump of the main
mast was very good evidence of a
troublesome voyage, and the captain
and crew seemed glad enough to have
made port The vessel is loaded with
fertilizer material, and the cargo is not
thought to be seriously damaged.
The foremost main topgallant mast
and mizzenmaSt are gone, and the bark
was considera bly, strained and leaking
slightly She was last reported by the
Norwegian steamship Vale, from Cuba,
bound for Charleston. and when the
Vale offered assistance Capt. Zinc said
he would wait for a tow. as he was
making some progress with his sails,
and was then only about 125 miles off
savannah.
A Graphic story.
The story of the storm, as told by
Capt Zinc, was graphic in the eX-
treme even though most of those in
hearing could not understand his Ian
guage, except here and there a word
The captain is a sturdy sailor, short
and stout and with heavy gray whis-
kers. He said that the wind blew
from every direction at once, a cyclone,
and that the vessel reeled like a drunk
en- man. The storm came up sudden
ly and while canvas was reduced as
rapidly as possible, his jib sheet went
by the board and other sails followed.
In the midst of the roar that en-
circled them, the foremost fell with
a crash, and was with difficulty cut
away. The main topgallant and miz-
zenmast came down. and the pumps
being sounded showed that the wrench
ing of the winds and waves had sprung
a leak.
This was early on the morning of
July 20, and since that time the ves-
sci had made but poor Roadway. There
were no casualties and the dana ges
were not nearly as serious as they
might have been. The men behaved
well and deserved credit for sticking
to the pumps when this was necessary,
especially just after the storm They
were all glad TO get into Savannah.
The captain could not tell last night
what would be done in regard to the
repairs on the vessel. The owners are
/ on the other side, and he will COM
municate with them to-day.

WOMAN SHOPLIFTER
CAUGHT WITH GOODS.

Detective stark Landed Bertha Rob
insOn with Embroidery.
A shoplifter who is alleged to have
been operating rather extensively quite
recently was arrested by Detective
julius Stark yesterday. The prisoner
is Bertha Robinson, colored, rather
well-known in police circles.
The woman is charged by the de-
tectiVe with stealing several yards of
embroidery from the store of Gustave
Eckstein. The stolen property was
found at her home and is valued at
IS cents a yard. She claimed that

able to bring other cases against her.
The prisoner is being held for inves-
tigation.
