COMMITTEE AGAIN WRITES
TO RAILROAD COMMISSION.
Inferred That savannah IL to be
Given a Hearing.

Given n Hearing.
At the meeting yesterday of the City
Rate Committee. of which Mayor
Myers is chairman. a letter was for
INFLATED to the Railroad Commission
to the effect that the Savannah com
mittee inferred that il would be given
a hearing before the commission be
fore rates favoring Atlanta are put
into effect, whether the injunction
case in the United States court is dis
missed or not.
In the letter to the commission, the
belief is expressed that the commits
sioners will give Savannah fair treat
mcnt. A reply to the first letter sent
to the commission, it will be remem-
bered, stated that as the matter had
been carried into the courts there
was no need for a hearing now, and
no date was set, Mayor Myers and
the other members of the committee
were not entirely satisfied with this
reply, but from 1t they infer that the
commission will grant the committee
hearing in the event the case should
be thrown out of court. The letter
yesterday was sent to put the commits
sion on notice that the committee
here so construed their reply. and
that a hearing is expected before the
new circulars go into effect.
The commission was written that
the members of the Savannah Com
mittee feel confident that the rates
promulgated in the recent circulars
will greatly damage Savannah, il put
into operation even for a brief period,
and that the committee is prepared to
prove this to the commission, If given
the opportunity. 1t is made very
clear to the commissioners that the
committee wants a hearing and that
Savannah does not want to see the
rates go into effect even for a day.
Mayor Myers was authorized to Sc
lect a secretary for the Rate Commit
tee. He will probably made the ap-
pointment to-day.

RATHER BE MARRIED
THAN BE A BACHELOR.
Failure of First Venture Was Not
DiscOuraginE

DiscOuraginE.
John c. Witherington, against Mat
tie P. Witherington. Libel for di-
vorce. Decree granted, oct. 8. 1904 -
That is a record in the Superior Court.
John c. Witherington and May E.
Morgan. Licensed to marry on Oct.
d. 1904" That is the record that APP
pears in the Court of Ordinary.
1t took less than twenty -four hours
for Mr.. Witherington to decide that the
woes and weals of married life were to
be preferred to the weals and woes of
bachelorodom. AS a result, but little
time had elapsed between the granting
of the decree of separation and the
taking out of a license to marry again.
In fact, Mr.. Witherington himself went
into the office of the clerk of the Su-
perior Court and had a deputy look up
the record in order that he might make
sure. that his application for divorce
had been granted.
The divorce from his first wife was
granted on grounds of desertion. In
her answer to the application for di-
vorce, Mrs. Witherington, that was,
admitted the desertion, but claimed
that she had married when scarcely
more than IA years of age, and shortly
afterwards learned that she did not
have the proper regard and affection
for her husband. Her conscience would
not let her live with him under these
conditions and so she had returned to
her mothers home.
AS Mr. Witherington left the Court
of Ordinary armed with the marriage
license, every clerk in the Court House,
who had learned of the decision to
again set sails on the matrimonial sea,
wished him better luck on this venture
and most successful voyage.

JEFFE SON STREET OWNERS
AGREE TO SETTLE.
VIII Accept the Proposition of the
City i'm Paving Gases.

City in Paving Cases.
The Jefferson street property owners
yesterday afternoon unanimously de-
cided to settle with the city the old
paving cases that have been in the
courts for something like ten years.
The city's offer of settlement will be
accepted Just as it was made, and
Mayor Myers will probably be notified
at once of the property owners decis-
ion.
The meeting was largely attended,
nearly all OF the property along the
paved portion of the street being repre-
scented. The cases will be settled just
as soon as the legal formalities can be
compiled with. The city's offer was to
accept the principal of the paving bills
without interest. II payment is made by
Oct. 10. The city also agrees to allow
all those unable to pay tine entire
amount of their bills at once to pay
in installments, with interest at 8 per
cent. from the date set for payment.
City Attorney Garrard is absent, and
it is doubtful If the settlement can be
effected and payments made by the
date set, but the matter will be closed
up as quick as possible.
The case is now before the Supreme
Court, and is scheduled to come up
this month. It was appealed by the
owners from the Superior Court after
the city had been awarded the full
amount of the bills and interest at the
legal rate from the time they were pre-
scented. The bills amount to about &c.
600. The interest would be almost as
much more, but the city has agreed to
take that Off The owners claimed the
pavement laid was not needed and re-
fused to pay the bills when presented.
The pavement. which caused the fight,
was Of Belgian block. The owners
contended that the old pavement, which
was of shell, had not worn out.

AT THE THEATER

In all the glory of it's original New
York production, Peggy From Paris"
George AIDES satirical comic opera was
presented at the Savannah Theater
last night to, perhaps, the most appre-
ciative audience that has ever witness
ed the rendition of similar attraction
in Savannah. In offering Peggy From
Paris Mr.. Henry w. Savage has risk
ed his professional reputation without
equivocation, and in point of setting,
costuming and rendition the piece was
par excellence.
When Mr.. Savage presents" it is the
brand of excellency in matters theatre
cal. Perhaps never before has light
opera been presented here with identi-
cally the same costumes, the same
scenery, without the elimination of one
single feature made necessary for OBJ
yious reasons on a road trip that were
employed in the New York production.
Especially elaborate were the cos
tunes. representing in themselves a
handsome fortune, which adorned a
chorus especially selected, and perfect
~ drilled. The usual suggestion of "all
comic operas are the same" does not
suffice in this instance, and those who
missed last nights performance missed
treat. ga
The lines were in AIDES well-known
style. Brilliant, satirical In their ref
erences to matters of current affairs,
dealing with notable persons and
events with the same fresh frankness
that has characterized all Of Mr.. AIDES
work. There was not a moment of
dullness, and not a period when the
crowded house was not anticipating
something yet to come, guaranteed as
the best by what had already been
served.
II is common knowledge in New
York that the severest test OF an actor
or a production is when II attempts
road trip, but II Mr.. Savage's offering
OF Peggy From Paris" receives the
proper Endorsement through the me-
dunn OF the box Office In the South Il

Plant Form. seen In Coal.


The substance OF coal has been SO
compressed that the forms Of the
plants composing II cannot usually be
seen. but when piece OF 1t Is made so
thin that It viii transmit light and is
then subjected to powerful micro
scope vegetable structure may readily
be distinguished. Immediately under
every separate seam OF coal there is a
stratum Of what is known as fire clay.
This stratum is always present and
contains In great abundance the fossil
impressions Of roots and stems and
twigs, showing that 1t was once the
soil from which vegetation grew luxu-
riantly.
II is common also TO find fossil tree
stems lying mashed fiat between the
layers Of black slate which form the
roofs OF coal mines as well as the I'm
pressions of the leaves, nuts and seeds
which fen from these trees while they
were living. In some beds OF camel
coal whole trees have been found. with
roots, branches, leaves and seeds com
plete and all converted Into the same
quality Of coal as that by which they
were surrounded.
