JUDGE SPEER COMING
ABOUT NOV. Is.
United States Courts VIII BE Con-
vened Latter Part of That Week.

United states Courts VIII BE Con-
vened Latter Part of That Week.
Judge Speer will convene the United
States Circuit and District courts in
Savannah on Nov 16, or within a few
days thereafter. This announcement,
which will be gladly received by the
members of the bar, was contained in
a communication from Judge Speer re-
ceived by one of the members of the
bar a few days ago.
Judge Speer does not say on what
date the court will be opened. He says
that he expects to convene the court
during the latter part of the week COM
mencing Nov. 16. A grand jury will
be summoned. 1t is Judge Speers in
variable rule to call the grand jury
whenever he believes that the ends of
public justice will be best subserVed by
such a course. AS there are quite a
number of cases awaiting the DISPOSE
ton of the grand jury. which cannot
be tried until acted upon by that body,
it may be seen that the need of the
grand jury is urgent.
The session of the court will be the
most interesting since the trial of the
Greene Gaynor and Carter cases. The
various smuggling cases, in which
many prominent SaVannahians are
implicated and the interesting shang-
hating cases, which have been investi-
gated by United States Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Leaken, will be among
the most interesting matters to be
acted upon. Deputy Clerk Gillespie
has the dockets and other records
ready for the opening of the court.

ELKS HARD AT WORK
ON PLANS FOR NEW HOME
Application for Charter to BE Sub
United to Lodge Tomorrow.

Application Tor Charter 10 he SuO-
mitted to Lodge Tomorrow.
The Building Committee of the Elks
held a meeting yesterday morning to
discuss the provisions of an application
for charter for the Elks Home Associa-
ton. The application proved satisfac-
tory to the committee and will be sub
mitted to the regular meeting of the
Elks tomorrow night. 1t win probably
be filed the following day, as the men
in charge of the matter are anxious to
get down to the real work of the move
ment with as little delay as possible.
Pending the arrival of the charter,
they are losing no time. Already they
have secured options on several sites
for the proposed building, and are dis
cussing the plans of arrangement and
the probable cost. 1t now seems like
ly that the building will be of three
stories, the materials to be of brick and
stone, and that the cost will run some
where between $4,000 and $4,000, in
Guiding, Of course, the price of the lot.
The Entertainment Committee of the
Elks also met yesterday and reported
that most satisfactory progress is be-
ing made in plans for the production of
the play to be given for the benefit of
the lodge Nov. 10.

A CIGARETTE SANDWICH.
Growing Custom of Enjoying Be-
tween Cigars the Fragrance of
the Turkish Cigarette.

Growing Custom of Enjoying Be-
tween Cigars the Fragrance of
the Turkish Cigarette.
Customs change in smoking as fash
ions change in hats. Within the past
few years, since the Introduction to
America of pure Turkish tobacco in
the form of the cigarette, a new GUS
tom has arisen. Many men who might
be Justly considered as among the
most confirmed and conservative of ci-
gar smokers, have found that there Of
ten comes a time when they want a
smoke, but another cigar would be one
too many.
Men who five years ago would have
scorned the suggestion of smoking a
cigarette, have since the introduction
of the pure Turkish cigarette, learned
that it offers an agreeable and fragrant
change from the heavier and more
stimulating cigar. 1t is also becoming
so usual as to excite no comment to
serve Turkish cigarettes between
courses at dinner, a custom that like
wise has its origin in the last few
years.
Only the superior grades of Turkish
tobacco are imported into this country,
and of that the choicest is largely con-
trolled by S. Anargyros, maker of the
wellknown Mogul Egyptian cigarettes,
who imports annually sufficient Tur-
kish tobacco to make more than 3,O00.-
100000 cigarettes. OF course, as the de-
man increases, interruptions manufac-
turers are tempted to adulterate with
domestic tobacco. but no one who has
ever tasted the delicate flavor of the
genuine Mogul can be deceived by any
substitute.

Will Operate No Excursions, but Of
fer One Fare Round Trip Rate.
The railroad people are looking for
ward to a very large attendance at the
Savannah Racing Associations Fair, to
begin Wednesday. The passenger men
of the various roads entering this city
say that both by the use of flyers and
other advertising matter, and also by
liberal notices in the press of the terri
tory from which it is expected to draw
the crowds, the fair has been well adj
vertised.
The scope of this advertising has ex-
tended all along the line of the Central
to the north and west, and on the other
roads we'll up, into Carolina territory,
westward as far as Montgomery and
south as far as Jacksonville. Aside
from the attractions of the fair itself
many persons will be induced to visit
the city because of the very low rate
that has been made for the occasion.
This is one fare for the round trip
The roads will not operate any ex-
cursions for this occasion, but will nan
die the increased traffic on regular
trains, adding such extra equipment
as may be necessary for the comfort
and convenience of the patrons. Tick
cts will be put on sale Nov. to IA,
inclusive, and will be good for the re-
turn trip until Nov. Is.

SHOT INTO CROWD
WITHOUT WARNING.
Andrew Williams, However, Denies
He Had Pistol.

On a charge of shooting and cursing
West Patterson, colored at Indian and
Farm streets last night, Andrew Will
liams, a negro, was arrested by Patrol
man F. !. Kearney. ]. H. Fuller. who
was with williams, was made a pris-
oner at the same time.
1t is alleged that without provocation
Williams fired two shots into a party of
negroes standing on the corner. He
attempted to escape and threw the re-
volVer away 1t was later found by the
police. Fuller had a supply of cart
ridges in his pockets and was also
placed in custody. One of the bullets
went wild and the other broke the skin
of Patterson's knee.
Williams denies all knowledge of the
shooting, although he admits that he
was running when he was arrested.
He claims that he left the wharves
with Fuller for the purpose of mailing
a letter, and that the crowd of men
cursed and threatened them. Williams
says that one of the party drew a pistol
and that he ran. He claims that the
shots were fired by some one in the
crowd and that he had left his revolver
with the Waterman on the wharves.
The police say that they have positive
proof that the srots were fired by Will

CASE AGAINST ODELL
COMES UP TO-DAY.
This Week VIII BE An Unusually
Interesting One In the Courts.


Interesting One in the Courts.
This week will be a busy one in the
courts. The City Court will convene
for its November term the Court of
Ordinary will also begin its November
term, and criminal trials of unusual in
terest will engage the attention of the
Superior Court.
The regular criminal session of the
City Court, which would have been held
on Friday, as is the custom, but for
the fact that ii was term time, will
be held this morning. number Of
interesting Jail deliveries will be heard
by Judge Norwood, and the session will,
as usual, be productive of interest. The
trials will be held after the sounding
Of the docket for the November term,
when civil cases will be assigned for
trial for the whole term.
Judge Barrow has already assigned
criminal cases for trial for next week,
so that it will not be necessary to
sound the docket in the Superior Court.
The Potter murder trial will engage
the court all of next week. The first
business to-day will probably be to dis
pose of the case of Hattie Quarter
man against L. b. Hunting & Co.,
which is a damage suit for $4,000. It
was begun on Saturday, but was not
finished.
The lawyers have been busily en-
gagged in the preparation of the case
of Charles ]. Odell, which will be tried
to-day. The defendant is charged with
conducting a policy shop. His arrest
was one of those which resulted from
the recent agitation of the policy ques-
ton. The trial of the case will, there
fore, be attended with some interest.
Two murder trials will come up to-
morrow, provided the trials of the
cases called to-day do not encroach too
much on the time of the court to-mor-
row. Jesse Hansberry win be tried for
the murder of Paris Ellis, the crime
with which he stands charged having
been committed nine years ago. Philip
TAYLOR will be tried for the murder of
his brother, "Sug" Taylor. The Doss-
Bryan case will occupy the attention
of the court Wednesday.

Officers of Naval Reserves VIII
Look After Them While Here.
When the United States government
warship Newport reaches Savannah
the officers will be taken in charge by
the officers of the Naval Reserves and
will be shown every attention during
their stay In the city.
The privileges of the clubs will be
extended to them and they will most
likely be entertained with a supper at
the Bannon Lodge. Because it is not
known just when the Newport will
reach Savannah no definite programme
for the entertainment of the officers
has been arranged.
The officers of the Naval Reserves,
however, will see TO 1t that the officers
on the Newport will have no cause to
complain of inattention. An excellent
description of the warship was given in
the Morning News yesterday. The blue
Jackets from the Newport will proba-
bly, be very much in evidence on the
Fair Grounds.

FORGOTTEN ORDINANCES
UNEARTHED.
Council in 1888 Wanted Cypress
Blocks for Paving.

Blocks for Paving.
Now that it is certain that a major
ity of the streets that City Council has
passed ordinances to pave cannot be
attended to until next year it is in
teresting to know that there is such a
thing as forgetting all about a paving
ordinance after it has been passed sew
eral months.
In MacDonelrs Code are two ordi-
nances for street paving that were
never carried out. In glancing through
the city code these ordinances were
unearthed by the director of public
works and have caused some comment.
Both were passed in 1888, one in jan
uary and one in March.
The first ordinance provides for the
paving of Barnard street from Con-
gress to State with asphalt. This ma
terial, however, was never put down
and shell and vitrified brick are found
on these blocks. The second ordi-
nance provided for the paving of New
Houston street, now Park avenue, with
cypress blocks from Whitaker to Dray-
ton. The cypress blocks were never
purchased by the city, however, and
the two blocks are paved with vitri-
fed brick.

REPORTED A WATER SPOUT.

1t was reported yesterday by a
party of fishermen at Tybee that big
water spout had made its appearance
at sea and that before it broke it adj
vanced to within some two miles of the
mouth of the Savannah river.
Nothing of the phenomena was
known at Martello Tower, however,
though Mrs. Evans. in charge of the
weather bureaus auxiliary at that
place, said it is possible that a small
spout might have been in the offing
without being seen by her.

JURIES WILL BE
DRAWN BY LOT.
Judge McAIpin VIII Observe n Dr.
ferent System in His Court.

ferent System in His Court.
Beginning to-day Judge McAlpin will
observe different system in drawing
juries for the Court of Ordinary. These
juries have heretofore been chosen by
Judge McAlpin from a list of a num-
Der of available men whose duties
were not such as to preclude their act
ing.
Hereafter the names will be drawn
from jury box in the same manner
as names are drawn from the jury
boxes in the Superior and City Courts.
The new rule, il is believed, will give
entire satisfaction. The iuries, which
are chosen for the trial of lunacy cases,
are composed of six men, except in
cases where the relatives of the &C
cused, or the accused himself, demands
trial by a jury of twelve. In such
cases six names are added by the
judge.
Three hundred names have been pre-
pared and put in the box, and when
these have been all drawn out the list
will be revised and the same process
gone through again in the selection of
juries This is the first time that the
rule has been in vogue in the office of
the Ordinary; so that II Is somewhat
OF an innovation. Inc reason Tor the
adoption of the rule becomes obvious
when the circumstances surrounding
the choice of the jury are made known.
There are, perhaps, hundred per-
sons who are eesirous of serving on
jury, and who have made applica-
tion to the court to put them on the
juries AS far as has been possible,
Judge McAlpin has acceded to their
wishes. There are some, however, who
have become piqued because they were
not placed on the juries.
In order to give all an equal chance,
the new rule has been adopted The
county allows 81 per day for service as
a juror in the Court of Ordinary. This
service scarcely ever extends over half
an hour, and it is interesting while
it lasts. The same fee of 81 is allowed,
whether the juror serves ten minutes
or an hour. There have been quite a
number of lunacy hearings recently,
and could one man have served on all
of the juries he would have made a
neat little sum. This could be done
without interfering appreciably with
ones work.
Though the time of service is short,
Judge McAlpin eXacts promptness. The
trial invariably starts on the minute,
and woe be unto him who comes three
seconds late. He loses a dollar and
gets a fine, or a reprimand. The en-
forcement of this rule, which is IA
miliar to all who have served, has re-
suited in the greatest punctuality.

USING LESS WATER
BIG FALLING OFF IN PUMPAGE AT
WATERWORKS.
COAL BILL IS REDUCED.
MORE THAN 500 LEAKS FOUND BY
SANITARY INSPECTORS.

Rigid Inspections Have Saved the
City "a Large sum of Money Al
ready-Waste of Water Was in
Residences and Business Houses.
More Than IA Million Gallons of
Water Saved in n Week-NearIy
Two Tons Less Coal Burned in
Same Time-Wnter Takers Are on
the Docket.
Since the sanitary inspectors have
been put to work by Mayor Myers as
sisting the water inspectors in keep
ing down the waste of water that has
been complained of for SO long, the
city has saved a large quantity of
water and a large amount of money.
More than a million gallons and near
ly two tons of coal were saved in a
week.
More than 500 leaks have been dis
covered in stores and residences by the
sanitary inspectors since Oct. 16, and
have been checked by the water in
spectors. These leaks have been re-
paired and very much less water is
being pumped now, and very much less
coal is being used. The fact that there
should have been such a great inl-
provement in such brief space of time
is encouraging to the Water Committee
of Council.
The examination of the underground
system resulted in the finding of the
mains in good condition, and the es-
adjustment of the falsity of the theory
that much of the waste was under
ground. 1t is now shown that the
trouble has been in stores and dwell
ings, and the war against water vast
ers will be waged with renewed energy.
On Friday several property owners
were fined by Recorder Myrick in Po-
lice Court, and this week several more
will be arraigned.
Under the new system just as soon
as a sanitary inspector discovers a
leak he furnishes the tenant with writ
ten notice to repair or have repaired
the leaks. In two or three days these
places are visited by the water in
spectors, and if the leaks have not
been stopped docket cases are made
against the offenders. This arrange
ment has been found to give perfect
satisfaction, and it will be continued.
Records of what is done daily are now
kept in the office of the superintendent
of the waterwOrks.
Although the improvement of condi-
tions in the water department has been
marked, an even better showing will
soon be made There are large con-
Germs that have not as yet been able
to get their meters into service. These
meters will be put up and connected
very shortly, after which it is expect
ed that there will be considerable less
water pumped. 1t is probable that one
of the sanitary inspectors, a man par
ticularly adapted for the work, will be
designated to read the meters each
month.
For the purpose of showing just how
much money has been saved the city
by the making of more rigid inspec-
tions, the following comparative state
ment is given for the week of Sept.
2O-27, before the matter was agitated,
and last week.
