FLAG ON GERMANIA BUILD
ING 152 FEET IN AIR

There has been considerable specu-
lation since the erection of the tall
Flagstaff on the top of the almost com
pleted Germania Bank building at
Bull and Congress streets as to the
distance between the top of the staff
and the ground. The Germania build
ing being the tallest commercial build
ing in Savannah, some of the estimates
as to the hight have been ludicrous,
many persons guessing and coming in
no less thaA a hundred feet of the cor
rect hight. and others undertaking its
hight. AS matter of fact, the hight
of the Germania Bank building is 112
feet, the hight of the Flagstaff forty
feet, making a total of 1872 feet.
The tallast scaffold ever erected in
Savannah, except on a church spire.
now stands in the rear of the Germa-
mia building. and is in use as a freight
elevator. This scaffolding, which Is
erected of wood. is lis feet high.
The finishing touches are now being
made on the new building, Contractor
Grant Wilkins of Atlanta making
every effort to complete the structure
in time for occupancy by Jan. 1, which
is now only little more than month
off. Many of the rooms are practical
ly completed.

NEGRO FROM VALDOSTA
CHARGED WITH PEONAGE,

NJ. ]. Cobb of Valdosta, a negro
physician. indicted by the United
States grand jury at the same time
as the McRees and others, and whose
whereabouts were not known at that
time, is in the Chatham county Jail.
When Cobb was indicted the matter
was kept quiet as the officers had not
then succeeded in capturing him, but
he was arrested by the United States
marshal in Valdosta Tuesday. The
charge against him is selling a negro
woman into involuntary servitude.
1t is charged that the woman, Lula
Durham, who lives at Valdosta, owed
Cobb bill for professional services,
and that Cobb sold the woman's serv-
ices to the McRees in settlement of
this bill. Cobb says that he does not
know anything of the woman, and
that if she was sold to the McRees
somebody else sold her.
Protesting his innocence before
Judge Speer in the United States
Court yesterday, the prisoner, through
his attorney C. A. Whitaker, Esq.
secured his liberty under a $500 bond
for his appearance at the next term of
court to be held next March.

SWALLOWED POISON
EX-MOTORNIAN ATTEMPTED TO
TAKE HIS OWN LIFE.
TOLD HIS FRIENDS GOODBYE
is UNCONSCIOUS AND WILL PROB
ABLY DIE.

w. b. CLOSEUP Swallowed Contents
of "a Second ViaI After First One
Had Been Snatched From His Lips
by Friend-Had Been Drinking
and Out of EmpIOym That
He Was Tired of Life-Is Now at
Savannah Hospital.
Walking into w. H. Everett's cigar
store under the Marshal House, short
ly after 1920 o'clock last night, w.
B. CLOSEUP, formerly a motorman. APP
preached a group of his friends, who
were congregated around the stove and
saying: Goodbye, boys. You won't
see me any more" produced q vial con-
tanning a quantity of morphine and rails
ed it to his lips. One of his friends
snatched the poison from him and
CLOSEUP turned, produced another vial
and swallowed the contents.
CLOSEUP lay stiff and apparently dead
on the floor of the cigar store, his
friends calling him and making at
tempts to walk him up and down the
length of the store in vain. The po-
lice We're then notified and in an am
bulance CLOSEUP was carried first to
the police barracks. and then to the
Savannah hospital where the hospital
physicians were working on him at an
early hour this morning, when he was
still unconscious.
CLOSEUP lived with his wife at the
Marshall House. He had been with
out employment for sometime, his last
position being with the street car COM
pany. He was drinking heavily and
was very respondent, expressing him
self to several of his friends during
the afternoon that he was tired of
life. During the early part of the
night CLOSEUP entered the cigar store
where he later took the poison and
Mr.. Everett seeing that he was drink
ing, requested him to leave, CLOSEUP
complying with his request without a
word. When next he entered the cigar
store he seemed to be more sober, and
walking directly to where his friends
were sitting, deliberately drank the
contents of the second vial after the
first had been snatched from his
hands.
The physicians at the hospital did
not last night determine what was the
poison that CLOSEUP drank as the
empty vial was destroyed by some one
in the crowd. The first vial, however,
contained a sufficient quantity of NOR
phine to produce death, and as Clos
sup had expressed himself as being tired
of life and babe his friends goodbye
there can be no doubt but what he
took the drug with suicidal intent. He
had, however, said nothing to his wife,
not having been to his room since sup
per when he was drinking, and had
little to say.
The mans condition was declared to
be very serious, and doubts were en-
tertained as to whether or not he
would regain consciousness.
1t was reported at police headquar-
ters that CLOSEUP was married only
last week.

The meeting was we'll attended and
considerable interest was shown in all
the proceedings. After transacting
the subject of celebrating the first an

was taken up.
1t was decided to hold the exercises

appointed a committee of one to look
into the matter and request the use of
some church for the occasion. The
programme was also left in the hands
of Mr.. McConica and he will be able
to make definite announcement within
a short time concerning the different

Savannnbians Got Into Trouble in
South Carolina.
Two we'll known Savannahians re-
turned home yesterday morning from
South Carolina after a hunting trip
of more than passing interest, for it
resulted in the arrest of both.
One of the young men was passing
through a yard at Ridgeland when a
dog started for him. He continued to
walk across the premises and was
managing to keep the canine at safe
distance when he stepped into a hole
and fell.
While on the ground the dog started
for him and to save himself from in
jury he shot the canine. The owner
caused a warrant to be issued and the
young Savannahian was detained His
companion was coming on to Savannah
when he was stopped at Hardeeville
and taken back as a witness Later
the hunters furnished BAIL the witness
who had been stopped at Hardeeville
assuming the responsibility, after maxi
ing his identification perfect Friends
of the two gentlemen enjoyed the story
during the day.

with combinations of drugs in an effort
to secure a satisfactory explosive.
In mixing the stuff there was a pre-
mature explosion that tore COINS left

a considerable extent. Cohn is game

ATTACKED ON HER
WAY TO CHURCH.
Lady Was Knocked Down and
Seized by Negro on Hall Street.


Seized by Negro on Hall Street.
What may have been an attempt to
commit a criminal assault, although
possibly it was an effort to rob, oc-
CURED shortly after o'clock last night
on Hall street. near Goodwin.
lady on her way to church was
attacked by a young negro and was
knocked down. She was struck from
behind and as she fell was seized. Her
screams attracted the attention of
Sergt. Flynn, on his way to the First
Regiment Armory, and frightened the
negro away. Uniformed and plain
clothes men searched in vain for some
trace of the negro.
Badly frightened and in an hysteri-
cal condition, the lady was taken to
the residence of Mr.. r. NJ. Butler, at
Drayton and Hall streets. Restoratives
were administered and in a short while
she was able to leave, accompanied
by her young son. Beyond the shock,
she did not suffer from the hands of the
negro.
The man followed the lady from
between Lincoln and Abercorn streets,
but made no show of violence until
Goodwin street was reached. 1t is dark
at that corner and it was there he
made the attack. 1t was raining and
the lady carried an umbrella. When
the negro struck her back of the neck
she fell forward into her umbrella. She
is certain that she would have been
able to have held her assailant until
assistance arrived had it not been for
the fact that she was partially in the
umbrella.
Sergt. Flynn heard the first scream,
but paid no special attention to it. He
told the superintendent of police
that at the corner ne often saw young
negroes skylarking and it was not I'M
usual for him to hear a scream. When
the cry for help was repeated he real
lied that some one was in trouble and
hurried to where the lady was. The
negro, however, had already made his
escape. There is little likelihood of his
being arrested.

ABERC0RN PAVING
NEARLY FINISHED
VIII Rival Bull street as "A Thor
L, In

Will Rival Bull street as n Thor
OUShfare.
The paving of Abercorn street is
practically finished from Henry street
to the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad
crossing at Fortieth street east, and
the work is now progressing rapidly
beyond that point.
There was some delay in the work
due to a delay In securing paving
bricks. but a sufficient quantity has
been received to complete the work to
Estill avenue and within ten days the
thOroughfare will be opened to the pub
lie.
Abercorn street will doubtless vie
with Bull street as the favorite drive
of those going to Thunderbol', the
Yacht Club. Isle of Hope, and other
points east and southeast of the city.
There is a matter, however, that shouli
have immediate attention, and that is,
the protection of those who use the
street from danger IN crossing the At
lantic Coast Linz TRACES There is a
wide space and three tracks where the
street crosses the railroad right Of
way, and unless bars or gates are
placed across the roadway SO that it
can be closed when trains are passing,
it will not be d great while before a
serious accident will be recorded.

WILL BE PAID $1,000
COUNCIL AGREED on SALARY FOR
BUILDING INSPECTOR
WAS NOT UNANIMOUS.
SOME OF THE ALDERMEN FAVOR
ED LARGER SALARY.

Ordinance Creating Office Was Read
Twice and Pnssed-NIan Who In
derstands the Work Will BE Chos-
en- at the Next Meeting of Council.
His Election Will Hold Good Until
Regular Election of City Officers
in 19O5-Mnst Give Surety Com
pnny Bond for $1,000.
At the next meeting of City Coun-
ell, Dec. g, a building inspector will
be elected at a salary of 81 200 a year
until the time for holding the annual
election of city officers in 1905.
An ordinance creating the office and
fixing the salary was introduced by
the Building Inspector Committee last
night, and was read for the second
time and passed. There was some diff
ference of opinion as to what salary
the inspector should receive, but those
who favored 1900 were in the ma
jority.
The ordinance under which the Of
fee was created provides that the en-
cumbent shall be engaged in no other
occupation. 1t is required that he sub
scribe an oath before the clerk of
Council, and that he shall give a bond
to the Mayor and aldermen in the sum
of $1,000, with a surety company, the
premium to be paid by the city. The
ordinance provides that the building in
spector shall report promptly to the
Mayor all cases where he finds build
ings are being constructed in violation
of the law.
In caucus the aldermen discussed the
question of salary, and the same diff
ference of opinion prevailed that was
noted when the Building Inspector
Committee met. Some of the aldermen
wanted the salary placed at $1,S00, but
a majority thought $1,000 enough to
start on. They figured that the city
will have a great deal of money to
spend next year, and that, too, a good
man can be secured for 500 a month.
This difference of opinion on the ques-
ton of salary, however, cropped out
again when the ordinance was read
in open meeting,
Alderman Glaigny moved that the
salary be made 81, 800 and that the or
dinance be so amended. The motion
was seconded by Alderman Colding,
but was voted down. For reasons al
ready given in the Morning News the
Mayor favored making the salary ST.
200.
