FLORIDA MAN SUES ON
BREACH OF PROMISE,
BuclSi Claims Harman Did Not
ssTOte Fairly"

ssTOte Fairly"
New York, Nov. 10.-Archer Hartman,
who formed the Ecuador Development
Company and who built the railroad
from Guayaquil to Quito under con-
tract with the government of Ecuador
has been sued by Charles L. Bucki for
$50,650 for breach of contract.
Bucki's home is in Florida. To bring
about a speedy trial he assigned his
claim against Hartman to friend,
Harry M. Samson, who lives in South
Nyack, Rockland county. The suit
was brought in the Supreme Court of
that county to avoid the congestion
of the Nyack courts. The case will
probably be reached some time this
week.
Bucki alleges that he made an agree
ment with Hartman in February, 1902
to induce certain manufacturers to es-
tablish factories and mills along the
line of the Guayaquil and Quito Rail-
road in Ecuador. He alleges that his
share of the profits was to be 12k per
cent, Harman's 25 per cent. He says
he spent February, March, April and
May, 1902. working on Harmans
oCACllCs ne pltQSGu OF
American capitalists and manufacture
ers to investigate the possibilities of
Ecuador. When the capitalists were
ready to put money into South Ameri-
can industries, Bucki says Hartman
went back on him.
Bucki claims that his share of the
profits that did not materialize would
have been s48.300 He adds to his
claim $500 a month for his services,
and bill for his expense in getting
an outfit for a trip to Ecuador, which
he never took. Hartman, he says, told
him to get ready to sail with him to
South America. but did not meet him
in New York as agreed, and then re-
pudiated the entire contract. Har-
man says no such contract was ever
made.
Hartman is said to be many times
millionaire. He was born in the South
and came to New York a number of
years ago. He organized the Ecuador
Development Company. Under con-
tract with the Ecuador government,
the company bought the national debt
of Ecuador. amounting to $3.500,000,
held In England. The railroad was
built In 1900. Hartman had associated
with him Peter Cooper Hewitt. son of
ex-Mayor Hewitt. The president of
the company is Robert M. Thompson,
president Of the New York Metal Ex-
change.

BY r. NJ. Larner.
Washington, Nov. 1O-Gen. Gillespie,
the chief of engineers, in his annual re-
port estimates that $225,OOO can be ex-
pended profitably in Savannah harbor
during the fiscal year ending June 30,
1906, in addition to the balance unex-
pended July 1, 1904, which he gives as
1864, 6S1.
The report states that the present
project provides for the establishment
of a channel from the old waterworks
above Savannah to the ocean, twenty
eight feet deep at mean high water,
with bottom widths of $50 to 500 feet,
to be accomplished by dredging and the
raising of all existing training walls
between Savannah and Tybee roads.
The estimated cost of the work is ST.
567, 791. Continuing contracts are au-
thorized for the work in this harbor,
and dredging operations are being car
ried on by this method.
The amount expended under the pres
ent project up to June 30, 1904, was
SS1590S. The total amount expended
for the improvement of Savannah har-
Dor up to that date was Sc, S63, 9S4.

Preliminary surveys were made of

Hope river with Burnside river for a
channel rs feet wide and feet deep. A
plan for improvement at an estimated
cost of $55,000 is presented by Lieut..
Col. Quinn. but it is not deemed adj
vlsable by the chief of engineers for
the government to undertake this i'm
provement.
Similar adverse recommendations are
made on the preliminary examination
of Oconee river from Dublin to Skull
shoals; also Frederick river. and Club
and Plantation creeks.
The reports of these surveys have
been printed and transmitted to Con-
gress, and it will be in order for them
to be considered by the Committee on
Rivers and Harbors, when the river
and harbor bill is framed.

GUITAR was horrorstruck. but Wishing
for revenge, drove the other animals
home and set out In quest of the local
"shikari." BY this time the moon was
shining brightly, and when they came
within some distance OF the scene of
the encounter they heard great grow
ling and roaring going on, and thought
that the young bear had returned for
his share, instead of which they saw
a large leopard and the bear at it
tooth and nail.
The sight was such an uncommon one
that they waited within striking dis
lance, the "shilSari' knowing that he
could take his shot whenever he liked
as one or other animal was sure to
return to the kill. After a time the
leopard, feeling he was getting the
worst of 1t, gave a huge growl and fox
like seemed to subside as If dead. The
bear shifted at his enemy long and
lovingly, and after giving him a few
more blows with his paws proceeded to
enjoy the repast from which he had
been disturbed. Before the men could
recover from their establishment the
leopard was up and on the bears back,
when, taking him at disadvantage he
soon turned him over and got him by
the throat. Then there was regu-
lar rough and tumble for some minutes.
