SUBWAY IS OPENED
TRIUMPH or BOTH CENTURY EN-
 GINEERING.
Civic Celebration Held, Addresses Are Delivered, and the New Rapid Transit System Is Set te Work

New York. Oct. 27.--New York's great underground railway, the latest step in the movement toward rapid transit from the old city. was formally de- clared open and ready for business to- day.
 The last shoveIful of earth had been turned, the last rivet set and the road bed, rails and cars and mechanism had been inspected and pronounced in per fecL condition by experts who had watched the growth of the subway from the beginning to its completion
 The ceremonies connected with the opening of the tunnel, which were set to take place in the afternoon. were very simple. A civic celebration was planned to be held in the city hall where addresses were to be delivered by Mayor Mcclellan and men who have had g prominent place in carrying out the enterprise, and where the Mayor would formally declare the great tun- mel ready for the public
 The subway Is the consummation of years of study of the transportation problem on Manhattan Island, and marks the completion of the first stage of what will be the most comprehen- sive system of rapid transit in the world.
 Considering the peculiar difficulties faced by its builders. the subway stands unique as a feat of engineering and construction. In the shape of an irreg- ular Y, with the stem resting at the City Hall, the tunnel runs north to 42nd Street, where 1t bends sharply west to Broadway and out that thor oughfare to 103rd Street. This portion of the tunnel is a four track system, two tracks for local and two for ex- press train service. At 103rd Street two tracks diverge in a generally north eastern direction, cross under a cor ner of Central Park and on to the liar lem River. under which 1t passes by means of a tunnel made famous by the engineering skill called into play to complete 1t. After passing under the river it continues to Third Avenue and 145th Street. where the tunnel ends and the line is continued upon a viaduct to Bronx Park. The West Side branch of two tracks continues north from 103rd Street to Hillside Avenue and Eleventh Avenue, where it emerges from a tunnel and is continued upon a viaduct to its terminus at Spuyten DuyviI Nine miles of this total of about fourteen were ready for traffic today, but 1t is expected that the East Side division and the remainder of the West Side line will be ready in about three months. The recently authorized line from City Hall under the East River to Prospect Park. Brooklyn, will not be completed for about three years With that and other lines under con- struction and authorized, Greater New York will have between twenty-two and twenty-three miles of subway and al- lied lines.
 Ground was broken for the tunnel on March 25, 1900. after years of agitation and legislation out of which the pres

Brandishing loaded revolver and
calling upon the police to follow him
in a raid on an alleged negro gam
bling house in the vicinity of Roberts
and West Broad streets, r. ]. Bull,
white, aged 43 years, stirred up consid-
cradle excitement last night.
Bull was employed as a special Of
ficer during the strike of the negro
wharf laborers, and when he was mus
tered out of service yesterday began to
tank up. He wore a patrolman's over
coat and carried a pistol. AS he strut
ted through the West Side sapping up
liquor he began to see things and i'm
agine himself a full-fedged police Of
ficer.
Shortly after II o'clock Desk Sergeant
McCOol was aroused by the violent
ringing of the telephone bell at police
headquarters. The officer thought that
something serious must be happening,
and lost no time in answering the call
Sergt. McCool was prepared for sur
prise, and he received one. Bull was
at the other end of the wire very much
excited, and for a minute caused the
sergeant to quake in his shoes.
After disclosing his identity to the
desk sergeant Bull said that he want
ed a squad of uniformed and plain
clothes men at once. He announced
that he was on Roberts and West
Broad streets, and that he would await
their coming. At first Sergt. McCool
thought that something serious might
be happening, but after the first shock
he realized that the voice was some
what thick.
The excited man who wanted a de-
tail of men put at his service refused
to say what the trouble was. He SIM
ply wanted the men, after which ne
would bag big game" with their as
sistance. This was all the information
that the desk sergeant could get from
Bull and he reached the conclusion
that the man was either drunk or de-
ranged. Mounted Patrolman Harry
Lange was sent to make an investi-
cation and found Bull on the corner
weapon in hand.
1t was plain to the mounted man
that Bull was intoxicated. He declared
that there was a negro gambling house
in the neighborhood in full blast and
that a wagon load of prisoners could
be secured if the trick was properly
worked. But the mounted man couldn't
understand anything of the sort hap
pening in his precinct and made Bull
prisoner. At the police station the
man was charged with being drunk
and disorderly on the street, with
fiourishing a pistol and with imper-
sonating an officer. He will be given
| an examination by Recorder Nfyriek IN
Police Court this morning.

STILL AT WORK
ON CITY REPORTS.
Some of Them VIII Not be In Hands

of Mayor for Several Days.
Nothing was done yesterday by the
heads of the city departments towards
finishing their annual reports for 1908,
although it is probable that one or
two will be finished. and filed with the
Mayor to-day.
The report of the superintendent of
police will be delayed because of i'll
ness in the family of the clerk. 1t
is known, however, that the police did
not make as many arrests in 1903 as in
1902, although the figures cannot be
even guessed at with safety.
All of the city reports are supposed
to be in the hands of the Mayor on
Monday, but some of them are GER
tain to be delayed. The health Of
ficer will hardly be able to complete
his by that time. and it will be well
into the coming week before the re-
ports will be in the hands of Mr..
Myers.
Although the exact figures are not
yet known, what has been done in
each department in 1908 has already
been told of in the Morning News. AS
soon as the reports are all in the
hands of the Mayor. he will begin work
on his annual report in which will
be reviewed the remarkable growth OF
the city during the past five years.

FREE DISPENSARY
FOR THE POOR.
New Charity Department Opened mt
TeIfair Hospital.


The new department at the Telfair
Hospital for the treatment of out
patients was opened yesterday morn
ing. This step has been contemplated
by the Board of Managers of the hos
pital for some time in order that the
poor of Savannah might fully enjoy
the benefit of the munificent bequest
by Miss Mary Telfair. The new de-
partment is established for the women
and children of Savannah, who are
not able to pay for physicians serV-
ice.
The new dispensary will be open
every day, except Sundays and legal
holidays, from II to II o'clock, and a
nurse will be in charge to receive all
out-patients and everything possible
will be done to give the patients the
best service.
Several patients were received dur
ing the day and Miss Wimbush the
matron, says she expects the poor to
avail themselves of the advantages of
the new department when the fact be-
comes more generally known. All
treatment will be free, but fee of
10 cents will be charged all applicants
for the first prescription. This is
done in order to help defray the large
expenditure for medicines and dress
ings. Subsequent visits may be made
Indefinitely, without charge, except
when it becomes necessary for the pa
tient to secure a second prescription,
when another fee of 10 cents will be
charged
DR.. r. P. Warning, superintendent of
the hospital, is in charge of the out
patient department, and will act as
cOnsultant. His assistants are DR.. l..
w. Warfield and DR.. Craig Barrow,
one of whom will always be on duty
in the dispensary between the hours
of II and u o'clock.
Miss Wimbush says that the success
of the infrmary rests entirely with
the public and she believes the public
will not be slow in taking advantage
of the benefits to be derived from it.

ONLY ONE ARREST
MADE BY TIE POLICE.
New Years Day an Unusually Quiet
One with Police.


One with Police.
Not in a long while have affairs
been so quiet in police circles, and
unless the uniformed men get unusu-
ally busy during the early morning
hours it will hardly be worth while
for Recorder Myrick to convene court
this morning.
A certain amount of disorder is al
ways expected on New Years Day
by the police, but the first day of 1904
proved an exception to the rule There
was only one ARRAY of any sort dur
ing the day. and that was not of a
serious nature. Tillie Stubs, a negro
woman well known to the police,
stabbed Reader Hancock in the Shout
der early in the afternoon.
The trouble occurred on Hull street,
near Houston, and Tillie was placed
in custody by Mounted Sergeant Muir
ply. She had the distinction of be-
ing the only prisoner of the day. The
Hancock woman was drunk, and de-
clared that the cutting was accidental
Title made a similar statement to the
officers, but because of the amount of
disorder that was created she was
made a prisoner. Tillie is not in very
good standing with the Recorder, be-
cause of her frequent appearances.

ty for a local institution, and is a
source of satisfaction to it's directors

to the permanent surplus fund
and $4,000 to undivided profits. The
company has a capital of $500,0 Dur
ing its existence of eighteen months it
has earned $4,000.
While all Savannah financial institu-
lions have done well, the good showing
made by the trust company has at
tracted attention to it. 1t does bust
ness with a number of states. and
also conducts large banking business
by mail, which is something new for
Savannah. 1t has over 5000 depositors
in it's savings department.
Mr.. William V. Davis, secretary and
treasurer of the trust company, is a
strong believer in advertising, and the
