STEAM PUMP DRAINS
THE LOWLANDS OF THE SPRING
FIELD PLANTATION.
INTO MUSGRovE CREEK
THE WATER Is BEING FORCED BY
THE CITY.

Pump Was Put Into Operation Yes
terday Morning and Pushes 1900
Gallons "a Minute Into the Creek.
Doggy Tract of 12O Acres in the
City Limits VIII BE Kept Thor
OuRhIy Drained-EndIess Chain
With wooden Paddles Does the
WOrk-InventiOn of Foreman Car
michael of Dry Culture Depart
ment-cget chez Canal should Be
Filled III.
Under the supervision of the di-
rector of public works, Foreman Will
liam P. Carmichael of the dry culture
department of the city has installed a
pumping arrangement on the bank OF
the Musgrove creek, near the Ogee-
chez canal, which makes the perfect
drainage of the Springfield plantation
feasible.
The water from the tract of 12O or
more acres is forced into Musgrove
creek, which is several feet higher than
the lowlands on the east. The pump
ing plant was constructed by Fore
man Carmichael and is his own in
vention. 1t was put in operation yes
terday morning and drains the land
east of the Musgrove banks at the rate
of 200 gallons a minute.
The draining of the Springfield plan
tation has always been quite a prob
lem, and the fact that it can now be
done successfully is pleasing not only
to those who own property in the ex-
IRENE western section of the city, but
to the entire community. The value
of the plant from a sanitary stand
point alone is almost inestimable and
those who have studied the situation
carefully are of the opinion that the
West Side will be more healthy than
ever before.
The Carmichael pump as the endless
chain machine will be known, sucked
the water from the lowlands in short
order and there was a drop of several
inches not a great while after the en-
CINE had been started. BY means of
wooden paddles the water is forced
under the eastern bank of the creek.
All of these lowlands are ditched and
the bitches are being cleaned out by
a force in the dry culture department.
Under the present arrangement it will
not be at all difficult to keep the land
drained make the western section of
the city healthier and make valuable
land that for years has been Doggy at
all times, and after hard rains and
freshets has been under water in many
places.
1t is claimed now that the only
menace to the health of the West Side
is the Ogeechee canal and the city is
making every effort to get the Cen
trail Railway to fill in this canal. 1t is
no longer in use and is rank with veg
citation. and in some places holds stag
nant water. The filling up of the canal,
1t is stated, would help the health of
the city to a great extent. The author
tiles say that there is no problem to
solve so far as the Ogeechee canal is
concerned. and that the only difficulty
of drainage on the West Side has been
overcome.

CAPT. J. C. TYSON
GETS HANDSOME SWORD.
Presented by His Old Comrades of
the savannah Cadets.

OAN VI
the savannah Cadets.
Last night. in the First Regiment
Armory building, while the Savannah
Cadets, under Capt. West, were await
ing orders to go out for drill, a visitor
was brought into the hall and was re-
ceived with pleasure. It was Inspector
of Rifle Practice J. c. Tyson, for many
years a member of the Cadets and re-
Gently lieutenant in the command.
AS Capt. Tyson entered Corpl r. c.
Thompson stepped out of the line, and
addressing Capt. Tyson. presented him
a fine sword. Corpl. Thompson's ~
marks were brief but to the point, and
he very aptly expressed the pleasure
that il gave to him and the company
to be able to show their appreciation
of the long and faithful service of Capt.
Tyson in the Savannah Cadets during
his seventeen years connection with the
company. The officer was completely
surprised, and scarcely found words 10
reply to the remarks made; but asked
his friends to understand that he fully
appreciated the honor done him. The
presentation was the signal for
hearty cheer and later in the evening
there were mutual compliments and
COubIdIuld
The sword is a splendidly made Off
GERS weapon. in the regulation sabre
pattern. with ebony handle and nickle-
plated hilt The shining blade is IN
scribed, Presented to Capt. ]. c. Ty-
son. by the Savannah Cadets, April 26.,
1903' The date was that originally
fixed for the presentation, but this was
delayed for good and sufficient reasons.
During the evening. after the boys
had come in from the drill a member
read from a little newspaper published
in Savannah in 1873 the account of
the return of the Cadets from Macon,
where they had won prizes TO the
amount of $3.50. On that occasion the
company was met by band and dele
cations from the First Regiment and
the Chatham Artillery. Salutes were
fired and a fine dinner was spread.
The returning victors were met by Col.
Olmstead and the response was made
by Color Sergeant l.. II. Montmillan.
The little paper was called Every
Evening" and had a big circulation.
The Savannah Cadets were given
royal time, according to the account,
and brought home a good bit of the
prize money. There is understood to
be but one member living who par
ticipated in the drills, ETC.. at Macon
in 1873.

GOT A 500 VOLT SHOCK.
The Man Who Did Is Now Suing
Electric Co. for 100000 Damages.

The Man who Did Is Now Suing
Electric Co. for 100000 Damages.
The case of Robert NJ. Smith against
the Savannah Electric Company for
$4,000 damages for injuries sustained
by an electric shock he received while
standing in the door of a fruit stand
at West Broad and Harris streets a
year ago last March, which was to
have been tried in the City Court yes
terday, went over on account of the
failure of the plaintiff to reach Sa-
vannah from Salisbury. n. c.. where
he lives.
The case is a rather unusual one.
Smith, who is now 20 years old, stopped
at the fruit stand for a moment. While
standing in the doorway he leaned
against the door post. AS he did so
his hand came in contact with an cleo
trict light wire running to an incandes-
cent lamp on a cook stand on the oppo-
site side of the sidewalk. Instantly he
was thrown down. his hand was burned
almost to the bone, his face was dis
figured and he has lost one eye as the
result of the shock
The suit for damages is brought by
young Smiths father as his next
friend. He is represented by Twiggs
& Oliver. The injury he received, it
is alleged, was by a 500-volt electric
current which. through a defective
transformer. it is claimed. had got on
the incandescent light wires. The usual
current on an incandescent light wire
is fifty-two volts. The attorneys on
both sides were ready to try the case,
but owing to the absence of the plain
tiff. who left Salisbury last Friday
and has not yet reached here, it had
to be postponed

PLANS FOR DAY
NURSERY INSPECTED,
More Money Needed for Building.
Excursion to Tybee Thursday.

More Money Needed for Building.
Excursion to Tybee Thursday.
The Executive Committee of the
Julia McCioud Circle of Kings Daugh-
tiers met yesterday afternoon and in
spected the plans recently prepared
for the new building in which to con-
duct the Day Nursery. The building
is to be located on the lot purchased
by the circle some time ago at the
corner of Montgomery street and
Thirty-f1rst street. The plans show a
very commodious and comfortable
structure with parlor, superintend-
ents room, play room, etc, on the first
floor and the dormitories on the sec
ond floor. Wide piazzas are provided
on two sides of the place.
The committee was we'll pleased
with the drawings, which were large
ly on the lines suggested by Miss Ken
nedy, but no action is to be taken in
regard to them until after a meeting
of the committee, with the Advisory
Board. The building will cost con-
siderable more money than the circle
has in the treasury, but the ladies'
hope to secure the needed amount
very soon. Work will probably be
started within a week or ten days.
The total cost of the proposed struc-
ture will be about $4,000, and of this
amount about 81 300 is lacking.
The ladies are planning to have an
outing at Tybee Thursday, and all
who are intending to visit the island
during the present week can do so
and at the same time contribute to a
good cause, by making the trip Thurs
day. 1t will be Kings Daughters
Day and is worthy of liberal patron
age. al

QUIET POKER GAME
RUDELY BROKEN UP.

Hubby Caught With the Goods and
There Was Fun, Fast and Furious.
In a down town place at an early
hour yesterday morning a rough house
performance of elaborate proportions
was pulled off, and an Infatuated wife
caused about all the excitement that
she could have wished for.
The detection of hubby in quiet
little game of poker, the destruction
of a Panama hat that is reputed to
have cost $25, and cries of fire, police
and murder are some of the incidents
of a bargain day rush that made SINH
lar performances look like three
tenths of a dollar. 1t was hot while it
lasted and it lasted long enough for
those in the immediate vicinity.
The affair was town talk yesterday,
although efforts were made to keep it
quiet. Those who discussed the scene
expressed all manner of sympathy for
the unfortunate who lost his bonnet,
for it wasn't really his fault. He was
busiy engaged in trying to separate
hubby from his coin and perhaps didn't
know that there was some one who
would object.
The scattering of the chips, the con-
sternation of the players and the de-
struction of the hat were incidents of
minor Importance as compared to the
scene that followed the cries of fire,
police and murder.
The occupants of the place didn't
wait to make themselves presentable
and for few minutes the place looked
like gridiron with ghosts rushing for
the goal.
1t was free fight in fantastic finery
and the white chips could not have
been told from those whose slumbers
had been rudely disturbed. There
were police on the scene, too, but no
arrests were made.

Saw Leading Officers of Military
Hon. David ]. Bailey, Mayor of Crit

in conference most of the day with
Col. G.. A. Gordon, Capt. w. E. Coney,
Capt. Gordon Cassells. Maj. W. L.
Grayson, Capt. j. T. West and other
prominent officers.
Mayor Bailey said last night before
leaving for home that he had every
reason to be pleased with the express
sions of the officers and those in the
ranks as well, with whom he had talk
ed! While there has been a good deal
of talk about Augusta as the site for
the encampment Mayor Bailey found
no objection to Griffin.
IF the Governor orders the encamp-
ment at Griffin the military of Savan-
nah will be glad to go there" a prom
inent officer told him.
That is all we want" Mr.. Bailey
said to- a Morning News reporter. I'VE
have all that is desired for the en-
campment. We do all that we can for
the military when there and we
want it to come. y
Griffin has done a good deal of hard
work to get the encampment, and the
people will be disappointed if it is not
held there. Mayor Bailey and Alderman
Manghum put in a good days work
and left for home we'll satisfied with
its results. Mayor Bailey is a promi-
nent man in his section of the state.
He is a Griffin man first and last, and
whatever he does. is for the best in
terests of his home city.

One of the longest sessions of Police
Court ever held was presided over by
Recorder Myrlck yesterday. 1t re-
quired almost four hours to clear the
docket, and it was after o'clock when
Clerk Dreamer made out his last COM
mitment
The denizens of York lane and Perry
lane were very much in evidence, and
in the neighborhood of twenty faced
the Recorder. When it is taken into
consideration that there were only
sixty-four prisoners ii can be seen that
those who have been accustomed TO
vile away the early morning hours IN
these lanes were somewhat up against.
The police had swooped down upon
them without warning, and the Re-
corder alternated with thirty DAYS on

been put in place and the railing and
the remainder of the furniture is now

KNOCKED FROM PLATFORM.

Electric Company Lineman Pain
fully Injured on AbercOrn street.
George Leppert, employed as a line
man by the Savannah Electric Com
pany, was knocked from the COM
panys repair wagon at Hall and Alb
ercorn streets yesterday and painfully
injured.
The lineman was at work on the
upper platform of the wagon when a
trolley car passed. The conductor
neglected to take his trolley off and
the pole knocked Leppert from the
wagon. He fell on his side and was
painfully bruised. The injured man
was taken into the Savannah Hospital
and an examination disclosed the fact
that no bones had been broken. He
was reported as resting comfortably
last night.
