Murphy's Prisoners Yesterday.
George Mack. the car robber arrest
ed by Detective Murphy several days
ago, was carried to Columbia yester-
day by Special Agent Bishop of the
Southern Railway, whose headquarters
are in Columbia. There are three clear
cases of robbery against the negro, all
three of them committed in South Car
DINA.
Yesterday q large amount of goods
that had been pawned by Mack, were
recovered from the various pawn shops
of the city. Many of the articles were
not stolen during any of the three rob-
berries that the officers know of, and il
Is certain the negro is implicated in
other thefts.
Mack will be prosecuted in Carolina.
He has admitted two of the robberies,
but these two took place in different
counties, one of them at Columbia and
one at Blackville. The negro will
probably be prosecuted only in Column
bia.
Special Agent Bishop was pleased
with Detective Murphy's catch. He
believes the arrest of Mack will break
up a gang that has been robbing the
Southern Railway for months. 9th
crs implicated in the robberies will
probably be caught.

dence on Park avenue. east, early last
night, only a few doors from the home
of Mr.. ]. H. Lyman, in which a bur-
glar recently drew a pistol on Miss

at him as he was running from the
premises.
A telephone message was sent to
police headquarters and mounted men
and detectives We're hurried to the
scene, but the burglar had made good

headquarters by the officers.

good view of the burglar as he left
the house in which he was discovered.

BY the time he reached the lane two
shots had been fired at him and
many people ran out of their houses

lily were very much agitated because of
the close proximity of the burglary 10

est of some claims against the gov

night. that he attributed the result to
the generally prosperous condition of
the country, as we'll as to the personal

S. P. C. A. SOCIETY
WILL BE RE0RGANlZED.
City Asked to Aid in the Movement
to Protect Animals.

City Asked to Aid in the Movement
to Protect Animals.
The Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals will be reorgan-
lied in Savannah.
Miss Margaret Cosens called on May
or Myers yesterday to ask that the city
donate 5000 towards the maintenance
of such an organization.
The Mayor was inclined to think
If the society was reorganized, and a
membership Of 100 or more secured, the
work could be carried on with the as
sistance of the police, without financial
aid from the city. He did not decline.
however, to give the aid, but requested
Miss Cosens to reorganize the society
and to then file a petition with Coun-
Gil asking for aid.
Miss Cosens Immediately adopted the
suggestion of the Mayor before asking
for aid from the city, and invited the
Mayor to become the first member I'M
der the reorganization. He agreed to
join and other city officials later did
the same. Miss Cosens thinks she will
be able to get rs or 100 members within
a week, and will put in a petition at
the next meeting of Council.
Her plan is to have every member
pay small membership fee, which
will be used in the care of injured ami
mails. Some veterinary surgeon will be
paid a salary to look after all the ami
mails turned over by the society. All
cruelty to animals will be prosecuted,
and Mayor Myers has offered to use
his influence to pass any additional or
dinances the society might decide
would aid in it's work

CITY TO EMPLOY
TUGS FOR FIRES
WILL PAY REGULAR RATES.
MAYOR MYERS HAS PLAN HE WILL
SUBMIT TO COUNCIL.

Wants TO Make Tugs Subject to Cali
of City for Water Front Fires and
Pay Them So Much an Hour for
Time They WOrIx-Hose of Tug
DauntIess May Have Been Cut
During SeabOard Fire and RE-
wards Have Been offered.
Because of the excellent work done
warehouse fire Saturday night, the
city will probably make an agreement
with the owners of the tugs for them
to serve at all fires on the river front
Mayor Myers approves the plan and
will bring it to the attention of Coun-
ell at the next meeting.
The Mayor thinks the city can well
afford to pay the tug owners reason
able rates for their services. The way
they pumped water into the burning
warehouse showed what excellent
work they can do. The Mayors plan
is to arrange with the owners to pay
each tug so much an hour for services
in case of a fire.. and to have them
subject to the call of the city for all
river front fires.
Rewards for Hose Cutter.
The hose from the tug Dauntless
was cut during the Saturday night fire,
it has been charged, and on this theory
both the city and Mr.. w. A Bisbee
have offered rewards for information
leading to the arrest and conviction of
the party or parties who cut it. if it
was really cut. Mr.. Bisbee has offered
500 reward and Mayor Myers offered
the same amount for the city.
There is considerable doubt as to
whether the hose was cut or simply
burst. When the hose was given to
the firemen, the negro who brought it
from the tug stated it had been
gnawed by rats. 1t was encircled in a
hose jacket" before it was used.
The superintendent of police and the
superintendent of the fire department
both made an examination of the hose
during the day. Both thought the
hose had been cut but they had not
then heard the rat story.
The fire chief ordered the section of
hose sent to fire headquarters and will
make an examination to-day. He can
not tell until this examination is made
whether the hose was cut with knife
or gnawed by rats. A hose jacket was
used on some of the tugs though, the
chief says, which shows it was in bad
condition when it went into service.
Equals Another Station.
So far as the river front is concern
ed, the regular employment of the tugs
to fight fires will be equal to the es-
Enlistment of another fire station.
The plan which Mayor Myers has
outlined is practically certain to be
approved by Council and the arrange
ment will then be made.
The tug owners who have heard of
the plan approve it and say they
would be glad to enter such an agree
ment with the city. 1t would great
ly aid the regular department in fight
ing fires on the river front.

Companies of First Regiment Are
Divided Into Squads.
Last night marked the opening of
the winter drill season with the COM
panies of the First Regiment. A letter
had been sent by Col. Gordon to each
captain, calling, attention to number
of things to be observed by the COM
pany officers and the men.
Hereafter absence from company
drills will not be permitted, except for
good and sufficient reasons. The cap
tains were instructed to divide their
companies into squads for the purpose
of stimulating interest in the prizes Of
fered. This is in line with the new
rules and regulations, which empha-
size more than ever the squad forma-
ton.
Notice was also given that officers,
non-commissioned officers and four pri-
Yates from each company would be ex-
pected to attend a school of instruc-
tion Thursday night in the quarters of
Co. K.
In line with the letter, the command
ing officers last night divided their
companies into squads, and directed
the attention of the men to certain
parts of the rules and regulations, and
to order No. 10.

THE STRENUOUS WIFE
BROKE UP THE HOME.
Love Held Out Only Six Weeks I'm
der Unusual Conditions.

der Unusual Conditions.
In the case of w. r. Ivey and En-
ma Ivey love lasted but six weeks aft
er the marriage knot had been tied,
according to papers filed in the Su-
perior Court. At the end of that time
the husband came to the conclusion
that the much-vaunted connubial bliss
was something of a mere poetic dream
and he lit out. Yesterday, through At
torneys Clark & Hill he filed suit for
absolute divorce.
According to the petition of the Ii
bellant the cause of the failure of love
to work out all problems was due to
"the high and ungovernable temper,
and the cruel treatment on
the part of the defendant"
He claims she would do all
manner of stunts when she didn't
get her way, and even got into the
habit of Shaping him.
He stood this treatment for just six
short weeks and then decided 1t was
time to look for other pastures and
left his home. The husband states
in the petition he does not know where
she is living at the present time.
Neither of the parties holds property

NORTHEASTERN DELAYED
S0UTHB0UND SHIPS.
City of Atlanta and MerrimaclS from
Ten to Twelve Hours Late.

Ten to Twelve Hours Late.
From ten to twelve hours late the
City of Atlanta, of the Ocean Steam
ship Company. from New York, and
the Merrimack, of the Merchants and
Miners Line. from Philadelphia, ar
rived last night after an exciting ex-
perience with the storm which ragged
up the coast Sunday.
The City of Atlanta reached port
shortly after 6 o'clock, about ten hours
late. The trip down from New York
to this side of Hatteras was rough,
but the weather was nothing to COM
pare with the storm which was en-
countered Sunday morning at O'Clock,
and which ragged with undated fury
for twenty-four hours.
The storm was accompanied by rain
and hail. making 1t almost impossible
for the ship to make any Roadway.
The ship, which had it's first experience
with a storm, behaved beautifully, and
at no time were the officers uneasy.
Capt. Fisher was in command, and put
to sea as soon as the force of the storm
was felt.
The Merrimack, from Philadelphia,
encountered the storm shortly after
leaving the Chesapeake, about o'clock
Sunday morning. The ship carried an
unusually large passenger list, and
there was much uneasiness among the
passengers as the ship was buffeted
about by the wind, which blew from
fifty to sixty-five miles an hour. The
steamer reached Savannah shortly be-
fore II o'clock.

BRICK MEN WANT CONTRACT.
Sealed Bids Will Be Opened at Noon
To-day by Committee.

There will be lively contest for the
big brick contract, which the Streets
and Lanes Committee of Council will
award to-day. The sealed bids will be
opened at noon by the committee in
the presence of the bidders.
Several prominent brick men arrived
in the city yesterday to look after the
interests of their companies. Among
the number were D. F. Jack, Esq, and
Capt. Frank Clark of Augusta, Mr.. T.
H. Halsey of Chattanooga and Mr.. H.
S. Matthews of Birmingham. Others
will probably arrive this morning.
Capt. Clark is president of the Augusta
Brick Company, and Mr.. Jack, who
was at one time with the Plant System
here, is with the same concern.
The contract is for $4,000 square
yards of vitrifled brick. 1t is as large
as any brick contract the city has ever
let and there is keen competition
among the brick men to secure it.

OFFICER STOOD GUARD
WHILE POLE WENT UP.
Germania Bank OnlciaI Objected to
Its Being Moved.

Us AAONCus
Objection was made by an officer
of the Germania Bank to the erecting
of an electric company pole in Congress
lane, by the side of the bank build
ing, yesterday morning, and uni
formed man from police headquarters
had to stand on guard while the pole
was being put up and the wires were
being strung.
When the patrolman put in an ap-
pearance the bank officer announced
his intention Of securing an injunction,
but no legal action was taken. The
officer remained on guard until the pole
had been planted in the ground, and
the wires had been transferred. The
wires are used for lighting the bank
building and the moving of the pole
was necessitated by the excavating for
the National Bank building. The pres
ence of the officer while the workmen
were putting up the pole attracted con-
siderable attention on Bull street. A
permit for the work had been given by
the city.
