year 1893. He wore 1t his life time, az
ter which it passed into the hands of
Mr.. Sam Jackson, a tanner, at Bethel,
who wore it after he came back from
the war. 1T was given to me by an
aunt thirty years ago." said Mr.. Nc
Lean, who thinks a great deal of the
interesting heirloom, which he wore up
street yesterday instead of his Sunday
hat. -. Coroner Adams was called to
Lowell Christmas morning to view the
body Of a young man found dead on
the Southern railway about half mile
beyond Lowell. The head and chest
were on the south side of the track,
the lower part between the rails. The
right arm was lying about eight feet
away and one foot was crushed. Por-
tions of flesh were scattered for short
distance on the other side, indicating
that the body was crushed by an east
bound train. At the time Of the cor
oners visit no one was able to identity
the dead man. Later in the day he
was found to be a young man who was
missing from the Avon mill. His
name Is variously given as John Boil
dan, Bolton, and Bolin; he was known
by his companions as Barb" He was
the son of Mrs. Mary Bolin, widow,
who has a son and daughter left.
The body was prepared for burial by
Mr.. Charlie Ford and taken to King s
Mountain for interment. 1t Is ex-
tremely difficult to determine the ex-
act particulars Of the young mans
death. He was seen to catch the rods
of freight train at the crossing
Thursday afternoon saying he was go
ing to Charlotte. Four or five of his
companions went on the same train.
Some Of them say they saw him in
Charlotte, and it Is reported that he
was also seen at Belmont on his re-
turn home that night. The mangled
body was seen on the track by the en-
gineer on 35, which was running three
or four hours late that night, and he
made report of the awful find as soon
as he reached Gastonia- the first stop
made by his train.

COL. ANDERSON ASKS
FOR INVESTIGATION.
Requests Superintendent of Police
to Refer Matter to Mayor.

Requests Superintendent of Police
to Refer Matter to Mayor.
The superintendent of police yester-
day received a letter from Col. An
derson, post commander at Fort
Screven, asking that an investigation
be made of the alleged clubbing Of
Corporal Wagnon by members of the
police force on Thanksgiving Day at
the football game.
Some time ago the superintendent
received a report on the case from Col.
Anderson, and at once made an inves-
tigation, sending a report of his in
quiry to Col. Anderson. The letter
from Col Anderson was in answer to
the superintendent's report. The mat
ter has been referred to the Mayor,
and an inquiry will be instituted at
once.
The charges which were contained
in Col. Anderson's first report were to
the effect that Corporal Wagnon had
been severely dubbed by one officer
while two others held him. This is
denied by Patrolman Mccarthy, VINO
arrested Wagnon. and Sergt. Murphy,
who was present at the time.
In his first report, Col. Anderson
said that civilian witnesses could be
furnished who witnessed the unneces-
sary violence used towards Wagnon.
The matter was referred to the Mayor
late yesterday afternoon and he has
not yet gone into the case.

CLAIMED PATENT RIGHTS
WERE INFRINGED UPON.
Permission to Use Rights Were Ex-
changed for Position.

Permission to Use Rights Were Ex-
changed for Position.
Because in the construction of pile
driver for the Savannah Lumber Com
pany the patent rights owned by F. S.
Won Eberstein are said to have been
infringed upon. Mr.. Won Eberstein has
secured a position with the company to
superintend the driving of the piles at
the Gwmnett street subway.
What at first appeared to be a very
serious matter, with a probability of
its being carried into the courts to pro-
tect the patent owned by Mr.. Won.
Eberstein, has been amicably adjusted.
Mr.. Won Eberstein gives the company
permission to use the pile driver and
the company gives Mr.. Won Eberstein
the position of experimenting the
work. The man who built the pile
driver, however, loses his position.
The pile driver was constructed with
out Mr.. Eberstein knowing anything
about it. He learned of it yesterday
morning and made an investigation.
His patent rights had been infringed
upon, he thought, and he at once went
TO see officials Of the Savannah Lum-
Der Company about the matter. There
was some talk of an injunction, but
the agreement already mentioned was
made and the matter settled. Mr.. Won
Eberstein Will take charge this morn
ing, and the pile driving will begin.

SAVANNAH NEEDS
LARGE DRY DOCK
SAYS BOSTON ENGINEER.
is HERE TO BUILD MARINE RAIL-
WAY FOR KEHOE & SONS.

No Docks on South Atlantic Sea-
board Where Large Ships Can Be
Handled for Repairs-Marine Rail-
way to BE Constructed for Messrs.
kehOe VIII Accommodate Vessels
of About 1000 TOns-WOrk win
Be begun in January.
Mr.. James L. Crandan, of Boston,
Mass, president of the H. I. Crandall
& Son Company, engineers and con-
tractors, arrived in Savannah yester-
day morning to make the preliminary
arrangements for the construction of
the marine railway for William Kehoe
& Sons.
Mr.. CrandaH is the practical engi-
neer for the firm of which he is presi-
dent, and says he knows of no port
in the country where there is a greater
inducement than offered by Savannah
for the establishment of docking facili-
ties large enough to handle the larger
ships.
The marine docks which will be con-
structed for Messrs. Kehoe will only
accommodate vessels of about 1000
tons. The space for the building of
the dock is limited, making it neces-
sary to cut the garment to suit the
cloth.
Dry Dock Badly Needed.
There has been a steadily growing
demand here for docking facilities,
and in a number of instances the large
ocean-going steamers have been in
need of repairs which would necessi-
tate their being dry docked.
10 "a lx1yax ic
of the marine railway, and Mr. Gran
dali says it is but just recently that
railroad docks have been looked on
with favor by ship owners. Il be-
lieve this has been largely occasioned,"
said Mr.. Crandall, "by the fact that
most of the marine railways have been
makeshifts and were hastily and crude
ly constructed, so that when ships
were drawn up on them there was a
great strain on certain parts of it, ow-
ing to the unevenness of the railway
This is the fault of the foundation.
When the foundation is properly pre-
pared, and the modern railway dock is
constructed it is just as safe and con-
venient as the floating or cellar dock"
Would Be Profitable Investment.
Il am informed by marine men here
in Savannah that the demand for dock
ing facilities is becoming larger every
year, and with nothing of the kind
anywhere in this section of the coun-
try, believe 1t would be a most prof
liable investment to construct docking
facilities for the largest vessels"
Mr.. Crandall said work would be
commenced on the dock to be con-
structed for Messrs. Kehoe some time
in January. The plans have already
been drawn. and Mr.. Crandall is now
making contracts for the piling and
other preliminary work.
AS stated in the Morning News some
time ago the dock will be located just
to the south of the Rourke marine rail-
way, and several months will be
consumed in construction.

WANT MAI. w. S. ROCKWELL
FOR THE 0GLETH0RPES
Has Been rendered the Place and Is
Considering the Matter.

Considering the Matter.
At a meeting of the Oglethorpe Light
Infantry last night. the special COM
mittee, of which Col. ]. H. Estill is
chairman, appointed to select cap
tain for the company, reported that
Maj. w. S. Rockwell, retired. had
been chosen. Maj. Rockwell addressed
the members of the company, but he
neither declined nor accepted the cap
taincy.
The committee asked for more time
in which to consider the matter and
to persuade Mai. Rockwell, if pos
sible. to accept the place. This was
en- up again at a subsequent meet
ing.
Col. Estill, in reporting as chairman
of the committee, was very compli-
mentary to Mai Rockwell. His re-
marks We're heartily cheered, showing
conclusively that the company hearth
ly approved the committees choice.
Mai. Rockwell in addressing the COM
pany stated he would be very glad
to accept the position. He gave his
reasons for his hesitation, taking the
members of the company completely
into his confidence.
Every effort will be made to get
Mai. Rockwell to accept the captaincy.
A member of the company stated aft
er the meeting that it would be good
thing, not only for the Oglethorpes. but
for the entire regiment. If Maj. Rock
well could be persuaded to take the
captaincy.

SHRINERS WILL GO TO
AMERICUS IN FORCE.
To Properly Look After Unregen-
crate Sons of the Desert.


crate Sons of the Desert.
A large number of the Savannah
members of Alec Temple of The Mystic
Shrine will leave here Sunday night
for Americas, where they will attend
a session of the Mobiles of that city.
They will go over the Central, and
arrive in Americas 8 o'clock Monday
morning. The Shriners will be met by
a delegation of Mobiles of the local
Shrine.
Much interest is centered in the ses-
sion as large class of "Unregenerat tie
Sons of the Desert" will be initiated,
and these additions will place Alec
Temple beyond the three hundred
mark, which will entitle it to two re-
personalities at the session of The
Imperial Council. They have been
striving for this distinction for some
time, and the session will therefore be
largely attended by the Shriners in
that section of the state, as well as
from Savannah.
The usual street parade will take
place and the ceremonial session will
start at o'clock. The exercises will
conclude with a reception and the Sa-
vannah members will leave Americas
at 1925 o'clock Monday night.
The portentate. Mr.. E. A. Cults is
a native of Americas and will en-
deavor to make it a gala day for all
who attend.

CIRCLE OF LIGHTS
FOR PARK FOUNTAIN.

A plan started by some Of the ladies
in the southern section OF the city
and taken up by the South Side Ad-
ministration Club is under way to get
the city to place a circle Of small in
candescent electric lights around the
outer edge of the big fountain in
FORSYTH Park.
The effect at night would be very
pretty. Petitions asking the Park and
Tree Commission TO do this will be
circulated within the next few days.
The matter will be taken up with the
commission right away and every eff
fort will be made TO secure the lights.
The cost, II is said, would be small.

COOLER WEATHER Is
PREDICTED FOR TO-DAY.
VIII Feel Light Touch of Storm
Along Northern Coast.

VIII Feel Light Touch OF stor"
Along Northern Coast.
Rain tonight. Tuesday clearing
and colder. Fresh TO brisk south.
varying to northwest, winds"
That was the prediction hung out by
the Weather Bureau yesterday morn
ing and the conditions prevailing last
night augured the fulfllment of the
forecast. The winds were already be-
coming brisk and there was a decided
tendency on the part of mercury TO
fall.
At 1920 o'clock yesterday morning
the following telegram was received
from the central Office at Washington:
Northeast storm warnings ordered
hoisted from Columbia, S. c., to New
York. Storm central in Eastern Ala
bama, moving northward and increas-
ing in intensity. Brisk to high north
east winds, with sleet or snow, are in
Dictated for the Middle Atlantic coast,
and high easterly winds, with rain, for
the Carolina coast this afternoon and
tonight"
No effects of the storm will be felt
in Savannah beyond the falling in
temperatures. The course of the dis
turbance will carry it north of this
port, and only the cold wave follow
ing in its wake will be felt here. In
case there should be any change in
direction that would endanger the ship
ping at this port the storm signals
will be promptly hoisted at the Savan-
nah Weather Bureau.
