ADDED CON N ECTI0NS
SOUTHERN R. r. COMPANY &C
CURES TENNESSEE NORTHERN.
Branch Roads Built as Feeders to
Main ine-Improvements Made
and Contemplated.

The Southern railroad yesterday took over
to it's control the Tennessee Northern rail-
road, thirty-eight miles long, which runs
from La Toilette Junction. Tenn, in the
direction of Jellico, to Rex, Tenn. This line
goes over the mountains and invades one
of the most productive fields Of bituminous
and camel coal In the south.
The Southern has built about 100 miles
of short branch lines and spurs during the
year just closed to industrial plants and
mines. These new lines are expected to con.
tribute large amount of additional freight
traffic to the Southern system.
A branch thirteen and one-half miles
long has been completed from Tidewater
mines to Central City, Ala. Another branch,
four miles long, connects the mines Of the
Bass Foundry and Machine Company with
Rock Run, Ala.
The Nashville and Mississippi Delta
branch, extending from Okolona to Hous-
ton Ala, is twenty miles long. A branch
four and one-half miles long extends from
Spring Garden, Ala, to the mines Of the
Alabama and Georgia Iron Company, and
a spur two miles and half long runs from,
a point on the Roswell branch to Rock
Run, Ala.
One of the most important lines projected
by the Southern is that from Tallulah
Falls, Ca. to Clayton, Ga, which. 1t Is I'M
derstood, Is to be carried on across North
Carolina to Maryville, Tenn. This will
give the Southern a short line from the
Tennessee coal fields, in connection with its
other lines to the Atlantic seaboard.
Double Track Laid.
During the past year the matl line of the
Southern has been double tracked as far
as Manassas. Va. from Washington. and
the work Of double the road from
rapidly.
Contracts have been awarded for a num-
Der Of additional branch roads, which will
be built soon weather conditions will
permit. A spur track Is to be constructed
at Knoxville, Tenn. running out from the
Knoxville and Augusta branch along the
bluffs of the Tennessee river in an eaSterly
direction for a distance of about a mile
also secondary spur from this main spur.
running in a northerly direction for 1,27O
feet.
A new line three miles long will be built
from point near Oliver Springs, Tenn.
westerly through Morgan county. Two
spurs are to branch out from the Middles-
borough Mineral railroad near Ralston
Mines Tenn, to connect with new plants.
The Southern railway and the Louisville
and Nashville Jointly are to build four
mile branch from the Southern's main line
near Daley, Ala, along Savage creek.
General Manager Ackert of the Southern
has announced in a circular that Mr.. S. j.
Collins, general superintendent Of the east
ern district, having resigned, Mr.. G. g. Nc
! Manus has been appointed general superin-
tendent of the eastern and western dis
tricts. with Office at Greensboro, N. C.
The two districts under this order, are
combined under one management.

SUBURBANITES KICK
ABOUT GARBAGE.
Object to Having to Ride Through
Fields of 1t on County Farm.

The County Commissioners may ex-
pect in a short time to receive a protest
from the residents of Isle of Hope in
regard to the way the garbage from the
city is disposed of on the county farm.
Some of them spoke yesterday of start
ing this protest in the form of a petit
ton for relief, and said when it reaches
the commissioners it will bear the
names of every resident of Isle of Hope.
The complaint that will be made is
that the garbage is spread over the
lands of the farm directly up to the
car tracks, that it's odor is most Often
sive reaching, under certain conditions
of the wind, even to Isle of Hope ITSELF
and that not only is it offensive, but
in warm weather may prove the source
of disease.
Those who discussed the matter yes
terday stated that not only did the
nuisance affect the residents of the SUI
burb, but would unless abated shortly,
affect many city people who are in the
habit of visiting the resort but who
will unquestionably forego their visits
if they have to make part of the trip
through fields covered with garbage of
which the odor is anything but pleas
ant and may be the cause of sickness
as we'll.

FOUND ROLL OF $1,000
UNDER HACK SEAT

A cabman received an unexpected
reward a day or two ago from a fare
that he carried from the Ocean Steam
ship Companys wharf to the residence
part of the city. 1t was unexpected
in more ways than one, but that's an
other story and the moral is that up
to-date hackmen in future will search
their vehicles and some day one of
them may discover a fortune.
The story of this particular hack
man, as it is related, is that his fare
from the wharf was a lady who had
a roll of money that was so large that
it was awkward to handle-it contain
ed some $1,000 in bills. When safely
in the hack she could think of no place
safer to put her wealth than under
the seat.
In the joy of greeting relatives,
when she arrived at her destination,
she forgot all about the cash and did
not recall it until several hours after
ward. When she did remember the
roll however she lost no time in hav-
ing a search started for 1T, and finally
recalled that she might" have put 1t
under the cushion of the hack.
The vehicle was located, the search
made, and there was the roll, intact.

LEONARD WILL PROBABLY
GET CITY HALL CONTRACT.
City Offices Will Move to Police
Headquarters as Planned.

City Offices viii Move to Police
Headquarters as Planned.
Although no action was taken yes
terday by the Building Committee that
has in charge the awarding of a con-
tract for the new City Hall, it is like
ly that S. S. Leonard, who submitted
the lowest bid will be awarded the
contract.
While Mayor Myers and the other
members of the Building Committee
are non-committal it was said that
Mr.. Leonard had made his financial
arrangements and will be able to show
that he can complete the work as call
ed for in the specifications. One of
the bids opened Saturday is certain to
be accepted.
The fact that Mr.. Leonard is not
only the lowest bidder but has stated
that all of his sub-contracts will be
given to Savannah concerns has been
favorably commented upon by the city
officers who are interested, and it is
likely that the Building Committee
will reach some conclusion to-day or
tomorrow.
AS soon as the bid has been accept
ed the city officers will begin to get
ready to vacate the City Exchange so
that there will be no delay in getting
to work. With the exception of the
harbor masters office all of the city
offices will be moved to police, head
quarters.
Plans for the arrangement of the
offices there have already been drawn
and work will probably be started
this week. 1t is figured that it will
be a month before the work of tear
ing down the City Exchange can be
begun.

GOLDEN SUMNER TIME"
BROUGHT CROWDS OUT.
Largest Crowd of the Year Handled
by Street Railway.

Largest Crowd of the Year Handled
by Street Railway.
1t was ''the golden summer time"
yesterday and the Savannah Electric
Company put it's open cars into serv-
ice. The largest crowd of the year
visited the Casino, and the street rail-
way people stated that fully 1900
people were handled on the Thunder
bolt line.
A holiday schedule was operated by
Supt. Rhodes, and the crowds that left
the Casino at the conclusion of the
concert by the First Regiment Or
chestra were well handled. Even after
dark the open cars were pleasant, and
it was really a summer day.
Mercury began climbing upward and
did not cease Until it had reached
a point truly indicative of summer
time. The highest point was 81 de-
grees, within three degrees of break
ing the record for February weather.
The lowest point was 81 degrees, re-
corded at o'clock in the morning. At
8 O'Clock ats night mercury stood at
70 degrees. The average temperature
was 50 degrees, an. excess of Is.
At II o'clock southwest storm warn
ings were ordered up. A storm over
Southern Michigan and moving east
northeast was expected to cause COM
paratively high winds here The
highest velocity recorded was twenty
two miles an hour. The presence of
this comparatively strong wind was all
that made the weather different from
that Of a regular summer day.

Pair of shoes.
The residence of Mr.. Sam Stenman,
at Congress Lane and West Broad
streets, was entered shortly before
midnight Saturday night by a burglar.
The thief was badly frightened and
nearly lost his life in trying to make
his escape.
The family of Mr.. Steinman were
just preparing to retire when they
heard loud screams upstairs. They
found Mrs. Drake, daughter of Mr..
Steinman, badly frightened and point
ing to an open window Mrs. Drake
had started upstairs to retire. In go
ing through a hallway she was con-
fronted by burly negro with his arms
full of clothing, a clock, and several
pairs of shoes. Mrs. Drake was bad
ly frightened. A window at the end
of the hall invited the burglars at
tention, and in a jiffy he had raised
this and dropped to the ground. In
his hurry he dropped everything he
had but pair of shoes
The police were notified sometime
afterwards and Detective Murphy
made an Investigation. The plain
clothes man found a large assEort-
ment of clothing, a couple of hats and
a clock in the yard where the burglar
had dropped them in his rapid retreat
From the collection it appeared that
he had visited a number of rooms in
the house.
Those in the house stated that they
heard the man when he struck the
ground and it was at first
thought that he had been
badly hurt and would prob
ably be found omewhere in the neigh
borhood A search, however, failed to
disclose his whereabouts.

BORROWED A HORSE
WITHOUT OWNERS CONSENT

Someone stole the horse of Mr. f. e.
Macarthur from his stable at Isle of
Hope some time Saturday night, and
after riding or driving the animal sew
eral hours returned it to the stable.
where yesterday. morning il was found
covered with sweat and with a long cut
across its throat. The supposition is
that whoever borrowed the animal eth
er drove IL into barbed wire fence or
allowed II to come in contact with one.
and that the injury was received in this
way.
