JAILER ABSENT.
WENT HUNTING
TOOK PRISONER WITH HIM.
DETECTIVE BOSTICK GOT MORE
BIRDS THAN HIS MAN.

I. i. Virgins, Who Was Under Ar
rest, Has Had Unusual Experience
I'm Trial of MisdemennOr Case.
Was First Arrested Here While
Acting as MOtOrman on n Trolley
Car-Was Indicted at BIackshear
for Cursing Before Ladies'.
Finding no one at the Jail to receive
a prisoner which he had to deliver to
the authorities at Blackshear Satur-
day morning, Detective r. B. Bostick
secured ammunition and gun for the
prisoner and himself and went hunt
ing, spending a very pleasant day in
the woods, with fairly good luck
The plain clothes man had 1. 1. Wig
gins, young white man wanted at
Blackshear, in charge and, having
known him some time, felt no hest
fancy in taking a chance" with him.
Virgins has figured very prominent
ly, in a rather unique manner, with
officers of the law. He was indicted
at Blackshear for cursing in the pres
ence of ladies. He left Blackshear and
came to Savannah, where he secured
position as motorman with the Sa-
vannah Electric Company. While in
the discharge of his duties he was ar
rested. The arrest was made while
Virgins was waiting for some passen-
gers to board a Habersham street car.
He was forced to leave the car by the
arresting officer. and another man was
called from the street railway head
quarters to take his place.
An officer was summoned from
Blackshear to take Virgins back for
trial. The prisoner was duly turned
over to the officer. and while waiting
for an outgoing train the officer par
took too freely of some enliving fluid.
and went off and forgot his prisoner.
Virgins returned to police headquar-
ters with the handouts still on him.
and was later released on bond furnish
ed by Mr.. Ed. O'Connor, claim agent
for the street railway company.
When summoned to appear at Black
shear for trial at the recent term of
court Virgins failed to appear, and
he was arrested, Detective Bostick be-
ing assigned to the duty of taking
the prisoner back to the Blackshear
authorit1eS.

STRUCK BY A RATTLESNAKE
BEFORE HE COULD DODGE.
Frank J. GiRruida's Presence OF
Mind Saved His Life.

Frank j. Ginruida's Presence of
Mind Saved His Life.
While walking on the Isle Of Hope
road yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Frank
]. Gihruida was bitten by ground
rattlesnake on the calf of the left
leg.
Mr.. Giffruida was returning from
Judge Norwood's house, and was on
his way to take a car at Bakers Cross
ing. He encountered a snake about
three feet long in his path, and within
striking distance. The realization of his
danger, so completely paralyzed him
he was unable to move and avoid the
strike which the snake was coiled to
deliver.
Mr.. Giffruida says even after the
snake struck him, he was too badly
frightened to make a move to kill it.
and it disappeared in the bushes. His
presence of mind was probably the on
ly thing that saved his life, for as
soon as he realized he had been bit
ten he sucked the blood from the wound
and then went to a negro.s house near
by, where he obtained some whisky
He also bathed the wound with turpen-
tine, and tied his leg with his neck
tie. He caught the next car for the
city, and went at once to the office of
DR.. j. o. Baker, where he had the
wound cauterized.
The swelling was reduced last night,
and DR.. Baker stated while there is
still some danger, Mr., Giffruida's pres
ence of mind probably saved his life.

NEW TAX ORDINANCE
TO BE INTRODUCED.
Change in Liquor License the Only
One Proposed So Far.

Change In Liquor License the only
One Proposed So Far.
Only one change in the tax ordinance
for next year, which is to be intro
duced by the Committee of the Whole
at the next meeting of Council, has
so far been suggested. and this relates
to the liquor licenses.
The present ordinance, except for the
change in the year. will be introduced
for 1905 and any changes that are to
be made will come later in the form
of amendments. Even the liquor license
clause will be the same in the ordi-
nance to be read at the next meet
ing.
The city now charges 5000 for a
liquor license. but allows the dealers
to give notes bearing the legal rate
of interest. 1t isaproposed to increase
the license and give a. discount for
prompt payment. The license will be
so increased that even with the pro-
posed discount for prompt payment, 10
per cent, each license will net the
city $500, as is now the case. Those
who do not pay for the licenses at once
will have to pay more.
other minor changes will probably be
decided upon later A special meeting
of Council will be called to consider
the ordinance after the regular meet
ing on Dec. 7.

BUSY TIME AHEAD
FOR CITY OFFICIALS.
budget VIII Keep Mayor and Alder
men at Work.

hNNEGA VIII AtGV MA AA0CE~
men at Work.
From now until the end OF the year,
the city officials will be kept busy,
closing up the work for 1904 and plan
ming for 1905.
With the next meeting of Council,
the actual work of preparing for 1905
viii begin, though there is great
deal of preliminary figuring to be done
before the meeting. The tax ordinance
will be read for the first time.
All the departments win this week
make up an estimate of their ex-
penses for next year and submit them
to the Mayor. These estimates will be
used in making up the budget Apph-
cations for increased appropriations,
however, will probably all be turned
down.
1t is the intention of Mayor Myers
to pay not only for the completion of
the City Hall next year, but also for
furnishing it. In order to do this it
will be necessary to practice the strict
est economy in all the departments. 1t
is the Mayors idea to have all the APP
preparations next year about the same
as for 1904. There will be an in
creased appropriation for paving, but
all the other regular appropria tions
will probably remain the same.
Mayor Myers is now having esti-
mates made of the cost of completing
and furnishing the City Hall. There
is quite a lot of work that will have
to be done on the building that is not
included in the contract. This is now
being estimated by Architect Wit
cover.
When these figures are available the
total amount that the city will have
to spend on the City Hall can be es-
timated. This will be treated as
certain expense and will be considered
in making up the budget. The amount
of money the city will have at it's dis
posal will be greater than ever before,
not only because of the increasing in
come, but also because of the large
balance that will be carried over. Al
derman Dixon, the chairman of the
Finance Committee, estimates this
balance at not less than $4,000.
