EXPERTS DECLARE
THE DOG HAD RABIES,

DR.. A. Jasme received a telegram
from Washington. d. c., yesterday.
announcing that one of the dog brains
forwarded TO the government Bureau
OF Animal Industries, showed distinct
~ that the dog had been suffering with
rabies.
DR.. Jasme, who had kept a record
of the persons bitten by the animal. at
once notified them of the result of the
experts experiments, in order that
they may take what precautions they
see fit. At the request of those bitten
their names were not announced.
Two dog brains were forwarded TO
the government bureau by DR.. Jasme.
The brains were taken from two ami
mails that had bitten several people.
though many contended that the ca
mines were not suffering from hydro
phobia. The report from Washington
referred to the one brain only. No re-
port has yet been made as to what the
examination of the brain of the other
animal showed

MAI. w. E. C0NEY WILL
COMMAND BATTALION
Lieut.. Col. GraysOn Issued Order to
That Effect Yesterday.


Lieut.. Col. w. L. Grayson yester-
day named Maj. w. E. Coney as com
mander of one of the battalions of the
Second Provisional Regiment for the
Manassas maneuvers.
Companies D, H, K and L will COM
pose the battalion. Company I, Ogle-
thorpe Light Infantry, will be at
tached to the composite battalion,
which will be composed of two COM
panies of the Heavy Artillery, Com
pany I and a company from Atlanta.
AS the artillery will furnish two of
the four companies. they will have the
right to name Maj. Williamson for the
battalion commander.
Just at present the intentions of Maj.
Williamson are somewhat in doubt, as
he is at present in Germany The
situation has been conveyed to him,
and a message is expected at any time
indicating his decision as to making
the trip.
Should Maj Williamson be unable to
go, it is probable that Maj. Edward S.
Elliott will be named as commander
of the composite battalion of the Sec
ond Provisional Regiment. The selec-
ZION Will De Hdue Dy the COMMANDING
officers of the First and Fifth Regi-
ments and the Heavy Artillery, as
each would have a quota of men in
the battalion. Maj. Elliott is the only
other officer of his rank in Savan-
nah.
The following staff has been named
by Maj. Coney for the maneuvers:
Adjutant, First Lieutenant Frank Nc
Intire, Savannah; quartermaster. Sec
Ond Lieutenant H. L. Griner, States
boro; sergeant major, E. Descombe

1t is more than probable that Captain
and Adjutant Horace ]. Brooks will
be the adjutant of the Second Regi-
ment at Manassas.

COMPANIES DRILLING
FOR MANASSAS TRIP.

In and around the Park Extension
last night the tramp of soldiers and
the commands of military officers was
much in evidence, and many of the
people enjoying the cool night air
watched the evolutions of the COM
panies with interest.
Only about six weeks remain before
the maneuvers at Manassas, and
each of the five companies of infan-
try and two of heavy artillery were
out last night in force. The companies
were generally drilling with their full
quota of forty-seven men and three
officers, and most satisfactory pro-
gress was shown, even the latest ac-
cessions to the companies falling into
the movements readily.
Instead of the usual weekly drill on
Monday nights, the companies will
drill semi-weekly, on Monday and
Tuesday nights, until the maneuvers,
which begin Sept. 5.

JURORS TESTIFY AS
TO COURTS WORDS.
sSwhether'' or 800" or ''If' Was the
Point at Issue.

"WhetheTN or t'DO" or "If" was tne
Point at Issue.
The controversy between Judge T.
NJ. Norwood and Judge II. H. D.
Twiggs has been settled.
Eleven of the twelve jurors to whom
the charge called in question was de-
livered, stood absolutely by Judge Nor
wood. The twelfth took a neutral po-
sition and brought out a new phras-
ing. Judge Twiggs maintains that
Judge Norwood was not sustained,
since seven members of the jury did
not express themselves.
The controversy yesterday morning
resolved itself into a question as to
whether in his charge Judge Norwood
had said whether" or do" in his ref
erence to negro women wearing trous-
ers, an exclusive article of mems
wearing apparel.
Judge Norwood on Saturday morn
ing, as related in the Morning News,
maintained that he said whether"
Judge Twiggs took the other ground,
and just as stoutly maintained he had
said do" The stenographer had not
taken down the charge, and so could
shed no light on the matter After
heated argument Judge Norwood left
the entire matter to the jury.
The jurors were all served and with
the opening of court the twelve men
who had tried the case of the state
against II. Blumenthal, charged with
knowingly receiving stolen goods, filed
into the court room. The twelve quon-
dam jurors, now transformed into wit
nesses. We're:
Messrs. Samuel NJ. Davis, Charles R.
Brantley, j. II. Morgan, Richard J.
S. Wood, Frank G. Bell, Andrew S.
Griffin, A. P. Wells, w. H. Creamer,
Il. T. McAvoy and E. j. Costello.
The contention of Judge Norwood
was that, in charging the jurors, he
had said: Guilt may be inferred from
circumstances. For instance as to the
character of those Offering the goods
for pawn; the hour of paWning;
whether women wear trousers" Judge
TWiggs claimed that it was do wom-
en- wear trousers"
Juror Charles S. Wood introduced
the diversion in the ready remem-
brances of whether" He calmly stat
ed to the court that to the best of his
recollection the word was neither
whether" nor do" but was IF"
The motion for new trial was not
argued. though Judge Twiggs will ar
que that later. There was a total alb
sence of the heat of Saturday morn
ing, and everything passed off pleas
antly and without jar. The entire
matter was passed over, and in the
records of the court is to be forgot
ten incident.

INCENDIARY FIRE
DAMAGED COTTON MILL.
In Three Places Flames Were Dis
covered by Firemen.

covered by Firemen.
Fire, said to have been of incen-
diary origin. was discovered in the Sa-
vannah Cotton Mill on Wheaton street
about 4 o'clock. The loss will prob
ably amount to $4,000, as much of
the machinery was badly damaged.
The fire was discovered in the base
ment by the night Waterman, R. F.
Douberly. The Waterman at first at
tempted to put out the flames him
self, but soon saw they were getting
beyond his control, and attempted to
telephone the manager, T. C. Booth.
The phone would not work, how
ever, and he had to go to the Standard
Oil Company, some distance away.
There he telephoned the firemen. 1t
was nearly o'clock when the firemen
were notified, and the flames had made
considerable Roadway.
According to the firemen, fire broke
out on the first floor after the blaze in
the basement had been extinguished,
and later fire was discovered on the
second story. The firemen are unable
to account for the fire breaking out
in these different places, unless it had
been set on fire. The origin of the
nre is mystery to the manager of
the mills.
In fighting the flames, the firemen
did good work. The automatic sprink-
lers on the second floor greatly aided
the department. The sprinklers start
ed to work before the fire there was
discovered.
The damage was fully covered by
insurance, the policies aggregating
$122.800

hut Committee Awarded Contract
This Time Despite High Price.
The contract for furnishing the fire
department with $500 feet of ga inch
hose was awarded to the Fabric Fire
Hose Company by the Committee on
Fire yesterday.
There were three bids before the COM
mittee, all of them the same, so cents
a foot. Chief Mcguire contended that
the Fabric hose was better than the
others, and the contract was awarded
accordingly, after some discussion.
This is the second time bids have
been opened for the hose. Before there
were only two bidders. The price was
the same then as in the last bids
submitted. For cash, per cent. would
be allowed, but the city does not in
tend to pay for the hose until next
January or February. 1t is thought
some discount will be allowed for
paying that early. The hose will have
to be delivered within thirty DAYS.
Without any discount the hose will
cost $500.
The Cohen-K ulm'an Company was
awarded the contract to furnish a set
of harness for the department, its bid
being the lowest, $24. 20.

TO SHELL REPAIRS

Will Petition City Council for Re-
lief of Some Sort.
petition asking City Council to
discontinue the use of shells in repair
ing shelled streets, or if they are used
for this purpose to crush them with
roller as soon as laid. will soon be
presented by a large number of auto
mobilists and other owners of various
rubber-tired vehicles.
Such petition is now being pre-
pared. The complaint of the intend
ing petitioners is that on the shelled
streets, particularly CASTOR and Jones
streets, when the worn places are fill
ed with new shells the repairing ma
terial is not crushed, and as a conse-
quence every person who uses a rub
ber-tired vehicle on the streets is in
imminent danger of having his tires so
seriously damaged as to make them
worthless. When it is understood that
the value of an automobile tire is from
500 to $50, and that one or all four
of them can be ruined by one trip
over the rough shells, it can readily
be seen that the matter is a serious
one for the owners.
The petition will suggest that in
stead of using shells for repairs Au-
gusta gravel, or some such substance
be used to fill the holes, and if this
be found impra cticable and it be nee
esSary to use shells that these not be
left in the rough, but that they be
crushed to level with the remainder
of the street

BIG DAMAGE SUIT IS
BEFORE CITY COURT.
Demurrer Argued in Case of Mrs.
Mary Pierce Against $. A. L.

Demurrer Argued in Case of Mrs.
Mary Pierce Against 5. A. L.
The entire time of the morning ses-
sion of the City Court yesterday was
taken up with the argument of a de-
murrer filed by the defendant in the
suit of Mrs. Mary Pierce against the
Seaboard Air Line Railway. Mrs.
Pierces husband was killed in an ac-
cident at Evergreen, Fla, and as a re-
suit she is bringing suit against the
railway for 100000 damages.
The defendants had filed a demurrer
to the amended petition of the plain
tiff, objecting to certain phrases and
We're irrelevant The argument oa
the demurrer began at 1890 and was
not concluded until 1870. After hear
ing both sides at length Judge Nor
wood Overruled the demurrer and or
dered the case to proceed to trial.
The first witness put on the stand
was Max Scott. Just what his testi-
mony was to have been cannot he
said, as owing to the objections of
counsel to nearly every question asked,
little information was acquired. He
was still on the stand when court
adjourned for the day, and the taking
of his testimony will be resumed this
morning. A.smti
The indications are that the case
will be unusually hard fought and that
it will continue through the entire
week. The contention of the defense
will be that the death of the hus-
band, who was the engineer, was due
to his own negligence and that, there
fore, his widow is not entitled to re-
cover. The defense is represented by
Osborne 81 Lawrence, J. Randolph An
derson and counsel from Florida.
Twiggs & Oliver are looking after the
interests of Mrs. Pierce.

WEED CHOPPING
STOPPED BY CITY.

Property Owners VIII Have to Do
Their own Weed Cutting.
The city of Savannah has gone out
of the weed chopping business.
Formerly where parties owning prop
erty refused to cut down the weeds
about the premises, the city would
cut them and make the owner pay.
This policy has been found too trou-
blesome and the public works depart
ment has notified the health depart
ment that weeds will not be cut by
the city in future.
The health department has accord
ingly issued notices to property own
ers, where the cutting is needed, stat
ing they will have to have them cut g..
In the event they fail to comply with
the notices the owners will be placed
on the police docket.
