FALL FROM LADDER
FATAL TO CHILD.
Little Louis Harden Dies from In
Juries Received at Play.

juries Received at Play.
AS the result of a fall sustained last
Saturday afternoon at play, little Louis
LIE Conte Harden. 7 years old. died
yesterday morning at st. Josephs In
Urinary.
The child's parents are Mr.. and Mrs.
Louis L. Harden. at No. 120 Liberty
street. west. The boy was a bright
and healthy one. and was full of life
and play. On the afternoon of the
accident he was permitted to go into
the yard and amuse himself.
A ladder had been left leaning
against the high wall surrounding the
garden, and the youngster commenced
climbing w and down. While near
the top he lost his hold and fell to the
ground. Attracted by his cries, his
mother rushed from the house and in
a moment realized the seriousness of
her boys injuries.
With the help of neighbors she car
ried him into the house and summoned
a physician. The little fellow suffered
intensely, and was, upon the advice of
the physician, moved to st. Joseph's
Hospital There under sl1illful treat
ment he grew rapidly better and his
recovery seemed certain.
Two days ago signs of serious in
ternal injury were perceived, and the
afflicted child grew rapidly worse I'M
til death relieved his sufferings. The
child in falling struck the ground in
a peculiar position and was more Sc
verely hurt than believed possible for
the distance. which was not over ten
feet.
The remains were prepared for burial
and will be sent this morning to Wal
thourville, Ga, where the funeral will
take place.

MAYOR PREPARING
ANNUAL MESSAGE
DWELLS ON THE FUTURE.
TABLE OF PAVING DONE To BE IN
CORPoRATED IN MESSAGE.

Mayor Discusses Paving Problem
and Explains How Public senti-
ment Has Changed on Question in
Recent Years-Fine Showing Made
This Year and Mayor Proposes to
Keep Paving UP-NOw over 81
Miles of Paved Streets.
Mayor Myers has decided that his an
nual address to Council for 1904 shall
be more of looking forward" than
looking backward" document.
1t is probable it will be submitted
to Council when that body is once
more indicted into office for further
term of two years, it being an ac-
cepted fact now that the Mayor and
the entire Board of Aldermen will be re-
nominated and reelected without oppo-
sition.
Exactly what recommendations he
will make the Mayor declines to say
at this time. He will, however, review
the work of the departments during
the twelve months now closing, and
point out that despite the building of
the new City Hall, on which $55 900
will have been paid by the end of De-
cember, public improvements in other
directions have not been allowed to
lag.
improvements VIII Not stop.
Even during the coming year, when
the appropriation for the hall will be
very large, between $15O.OOO and $780,
900, it is an open secret that there will
be continuation of the policy of ex-
tensive street paving, and other inn
Drovements that are regarded with
such high favor by the general public.
While the appropriation for street paw
ing may not be as large as in some
past years. it is not improbable that
it may be augmented later in the year.
if the citYs finances work out as sat
isfactorily as is expected. In any
event there will probably be two miles
of new street paving put down.
In his report for 1904, Mayor Myers
will present the accompanying table,
which summarizes the street paving
done during the last six years, during
which he has continuously held his
present office. There are at present
in the city. he will state, 81 rs miles
of paved streets. of which 10 60 miles,
or 36 per cent. have been laid during
the six years ending Dec. 81. The
present year, the Mayor viii direct at
tention to, exceeded in street paving
any past year in the history of the city
of Savannah. a total of 1869 square
yards of paving being laid, the next
best record being for 1908 with 61,312
square yards TO its credit.

DETECTIVE BOSTICK WILL

Collector Who Was short in His Ac-

Detective r. b. Bostick left yester-

Lowery, wanted here for defalcation in
his accounts as collector for the
Rhodes-Haverty Furniture Company,
some time ago.
Since Lowery left here it has been
found, it is charged, that even while
he was on parole, and being given an
opportunity to make good the amount
he was short, that he took additional
money and appropriated it to his
use.
When Lowery was first arrested he
was permitted to go at large on parole,
under the condition that he was to
make good the shortage on a certain
day. During the time he was sup
posed to be getting funds together to
make good, he is alleged to have COL
lected more money as a representative
of the firm and added it to his former
defalcations. Under these circum-
stances the firm has decided to prose-
cute him.
