and Troop II neutrality-suspicious.
Reviewing stand Gov. Terrell An
swered saIutes of Officers.
Military parades are not new to Sa-
vannah. but the one yesterday after
noon had features which made it of
more than passing interest.
Gov. Terrell reviewed the troops,
and it was the opening event of Car
nival week. Either one alone was suf-
ficient to give an added interest to the
parade, and in conjunction they made
the event a notable one.
Besides the militia, three companies
of coast artillery from Fort Screven,
under command of Col Anderson, and
Troop H, Seventh Cavalry. took part,
very materially contributing to the
success of the event.
BY 3:45 o'clock the Fort Screven
companies were drawn up on Ogle-
thorpe avenue, near Bull, the lines ex-
tending east and west and facing
south. Just across the grass plot
was Troop H. Seventh Cavalry, under
command of Lieut.. Lowell.

OFFICER RESCUED LADY
FROM A CRAZY CAT.

Answering the telephone at an ear
ly hour this morning. Desk Sergeant
McCool at police headquarters was told
by an excited feminine voice to send
an officer at once to her house to get
a mad cat that was in her room.
The cat was crazy, the lady said,
and could not be made to leave her
room. She described the antics of the
cat so wildly that Sergeant McCool
sent Patrolman Beaber the sally port
man, TO the house at once. There a
kitten, frightened almost to death, was
found crouching in one corner of the
room. The officer opened the window
and the cat at once escaped. Other
parties in the house had been chasing
the cat, it was learned, and had bad
ly frightened it.

B0NDH0LDER OBJECTS TO
MOVING CAR TRACKS.
No Objections to Putting Tracks 10
One side. However.


One Side However.
President George ]. Baldwin Of the
Savannah Electric Company, received
letter from a large bondholder in
his company yesterday Directing to
the removal of the Whitaker street
tracks. as had been suggested.
Objections of this kind were anticl-
pated by Mr.. Baldwin, when the NOV
ing of the tracks was brought up. If
the city really desires to have the
tracks taken up, however, Mr.. Bald
win says, he is willing to do all he
can TO help the city officials overcome
the many difficulties that are sure to
present themselves.
And he asks the very significant
question, will the city be willing to
assume the liability for all suits that
might arise from the removal of the
tracks %
The city. Of course, would not Mr..
Baldwin says if he wished to move
the tracks he would, of course, be
willing to assume this liability. but
as the suggestion comes from the city,
he thinks the city should take the re-
sponsibility The city not being will
ing to do this, the plan to have the
tracks taken up will doubtless fall
through.
AS matter of fact, the city officials
themselves do not care about pushing
the matter now they have been shown
how many objections there will be to
the plan. In regard to moving the
tracks to the eastern side of the street
by Forsyth Park and the Park Exten-
sion, Mr.. Baldwin says he has no OBJ
lection to the idea, If the city author
tiles desire the change.
The city officials, however, do not
take much interest in the suggestion,
though 1t is approved by the public
generally. Mr.. Baldwin says it would
not do to put the tracks on one side
of the street, except by the Park and
the Park Extension, as the property
owners on the street would want the
tracks on the side opposite

Inspector Register Found Spirits
Which Had Been AduIterated.
By order of Judge Cam, Sheriff
Schwarz seized sixteen barrels of tur-
pentine yesterday, on report of Naval
Stores Inspector Register to the effect
that they were aadulterated and not
properly marked as such, according to
the laws of the state.
Thirteen barrels were consigned
the Peacock, Hunt & West Com
pany, and three to Hunter, Pearce
and Battey The turpentine will no
doubt be sold at public auction and the
proceeds of the sale added to the fine
docket of the Superior Court. The
fact that the spirits was seized as
the property of the naval stores COM
panies, does not indicate they had any
knowledge of the adulteration. In fact
the law regarding adulteration was
passed at the instance of the naval
store dealers.

A diamond robbery, upon which the
detectives have been working for sew
eral days, has been solved, it is
thought, though only a part of the
diamonds have been recovered. Until
the officers got the case in shape the
robbery itself was kept a secret.
The diamonds were stolen from a
drawer in the Commercial Bank and
were the property of Mr.. Barron Car
ter, the cashier. The robbery took
place some time between Oct. 4 and
20, though it was not reported to the
police until last Thursday. Six dia-
mond rings and a fine Smith & Wes-
son pistol We're stolen from the draw
err. The rings varied in value, being
worth from $3.50 10 $3.50 each.
The theft was not discovered until
Oct 90, when Mr.. Carter had occasion
TO open the drawer. There was then
no clue to the identity Of the thief
or thieves. After investigating the
matter for a. few days himself Mr..
Carter called in the police. Detectives
Stark and Davis have recovered two
of the rings, one valued at $3.50 and
one at $3.50. and have arrested five ne
groes in connection with the case.
though only three of them are held
as principals. The other two, who
were wanted as witnesses, were re-
leased by the officers yesterday. after
being summoned to appear in Police

with stealing the diamonds are Clar-
ence Jenkins, IA years of age; Eddie
Banaquin, 20 years, and Nelson Den

are connected with the bank in any
way. They are supposed to have slip

CONSOLIDATION CAUSES
DECREASE IN PERMITS.

The number of building permits is
sued during the month just ended was
not quite so large as the number is
sued during October of last year. This
year the permits are being consoIidat-
ed as far as possible. so that the total
number issued really means very lit
tie. Only one permit is often issued
for a number of houses. Most of the
permits during October are for re-
pairs. This is always the case, as
property owners often will not fix their
houses until after the close of the
renting season.

COMMITTEE WILL
DISCUSS PAVING
TO BE DONE NEXT YEAR.
COMMITTEE TO RECOMMEND LIST
OF STREETS TO COUNCIL

Meeting of Streets and Lanes Com
mittee To-day viii BE One of
Most Important Held in a Long
WhiIe-Aldermen Determined to
Make Next Year n Banner One, So
Far as Paving Is COncerned-Figh
for Feed Contract Is On.
The meeting of the Streets and
Lanes Committee, which was post
poned from Saturday until yesterday.
was again postponed and will be held
to-day.
The meeting promises to be the most
important that has been held in a long
while, as besides a number of matters
that have already been announced,
the paving work for next year will be
discussed, and probably in a large
measure determined.
Whatever streets this committee de-
cides should be paved next year, Coun-
Gil is very apt to act favorably upon.
While Council is not required to fol-
low the recommendations of the COM
mlttee in making up a schedule for
street paving, the chances are this will
be done. To begin with there are five
aldermen on the committee and this
gives it a big advantage at the start
With any proposition the committee
might unanimously recommend.
1905 to BE Banner Year.
So far as the paving work is con-
cerned, 1905 will be made the banner
year in the city's history This year
the appropriation for paving was cut
down by reason of the improvements
being made in other lines. but prac-
tically all the aldermen agree that a
large appropriation should be given
this department for the coming year.
AT the meeting to-day the committee
will discuss the paving in a general
way and some of the streets will prob
ably be determined. 1t will probably
be several weeks. however before the
entire paving schedule is made up.
Many of the streets now under dis
cusslon for paving have already been
mentioned Abercorn, Price Lincoln.
whitaker, Bay and several of the in
tersectinE streets between Bull and
DldStoH streets, not already paved,
nave been suggested. The matter will
be gone over thoroughly by the COM
mlttee before any recommendation is
made to Council. The entire work
that is to be done next year will he
agreed upon in advance and most of
the ordinances introduced in Council
about the same time,
Feed Fight Is On.
There is a lively fight on for the
reed contract for the Streets and Lanes
department for the coming month.
Some time ago, it will be remembered
the grain combine here went to pieces.
put recently the dealers have gotten
together again, and they now all sub
NIT the same bids for the city bust
ness. There are a number of firm
claiming it is their time to get the
contract.
During the few months the COM
bine was out of business the various
firms submitted different bids and the
contracts were awarded to the lowest
bidders. With all the firms bidding
the same, it is difficult to determine
who should be given the contract
first. It has been suggested that the
contract be given out from month to
month in alphabetical order, but those
whose names begin with letters to-
wards the end of the alphabet object
| to this
The bids for the artificial stone side
walk through the Park Extension are
to be opened also.
