MAYOR MYERS LIKES
STREET PAVING PLAN.

Not Feasible This Year Because of
City Hall Appropriation, However.
Owing to the fact that every dollar
due the city of Savannah this year
from public taxes and from other
sources of revenue. will be needed in
order to meet the appropriation for the
new City Hall, Mayor Myers says the
street paving plan as outlined in an
editorial in the Morning News yester-
day cannot be carried out this year.
He believes, however, when the city
has finished paying for the construc-
ton of the City Hall this plan may be
adopted. The city can then be more
liberal with property owners who are
not able to pay the amount assessed
them for street paving in a lump
sum. They could be allowed the priv
ilege of paying the amount in small
installments, and the Mayor favors
such a scheme. The matter will prob
ably be taken up when the schedule
for 1905 is made up.

TWO IMPORTANT CASES
TO BE TRIED.
Marvel Edwards, for Assault and
BENJAMIN DiclxersOn for Murder.

Marvel Edwards, for Assault and
BENJAMIN DiclxersOn for Murder.
Two important cases are set for
hearing in the Superior Court to-mor-
row, one the state vs.. Marvel Ed
wards, charged with criminal as
sault on Miss Ada Green, and the
other the state VS.. Benjamin Dicker-
son for the murder of his wife. Col.
Robert L. Colding represents both de-
PENDANTS.
Since he was tried several weeks ago
Edwards has been in a highly ner-
vous state. He asked daily when his
case was coming up, before it was re-
assigned, after a mistrial had been
declared, the first time, and when he
was finally told that it had been set
for Feb. II, he seemed greatly reliev-
ed.
Benjamin Dickerson has refused to
talk since the first statement he made
to the effect that he had beaten his
wife, but that it was with a switch
which he took from a brushbroom.
The switch was offered in evidence
at the coroner's investigation. The
general belief is that if Dickerson was
the cause of his wife's death he kick
ed her with hts foot. This he has
denied, and so far there has been
no evidence to show conclusively that
he was guilty of this.

C0L0RED BOYS STOLE
CONTRACTORS HORSE.
Horse and Buggy Were Later Found
Near ThunderbOIt.

horse ana buggy were Later Found
Near ThunderbOIt.
Yesterday noon while Contractor
Charles G. Brockett, who resides at
Kline and MONTGOMERY streets. was in
the Gilbert Coffee house. at Bay and
West Broad streets transacting some
business, his horse and buggy, which
had been left standing outside, were
stolen. The loss was not discovered
until Mr.. Brockett left the store.
The only clue that those who had
been standing outside the store could
give was that negro boy
had climbed into the buggy
and driven off. Mr.. Brockett
searched the city for some clue to the
thieves but could find no trace of them.
Later in the afternoon Mr.. E. S. Miles,
while driving with his daughter, recog-
MED Mr.. Brockett's horse and buggy
near Thunderbolt. At the time there
were two small negroes driving. When
they noticed Mr. Miles driving after
them they stopped the horse, jumped
from the buggy, and ran into the
woods. Mr.. Miles brought the horse
and buggy back to the city. The ne
groes who were driving when the horse
was recognized were unknown to Mr..
Miles.

ASKS COOPERATION OF
BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS.
Letters Sent Out by savannah Har-
Dor Improvement Association.

Letters Sent Out by Savannah Har-
Dor Improvement Association.
Letters to the various business or
CARNATIONS throughout the South and
West, in the interest of Savannah's
claim for congressional appropriation
for the survey of the river and har-
Dor, are being sent out by Secretary
Gamble Of the Harbor Improvement
Association.
Each letter is accompanied by one
Of the pamphlets recently issued, set
ting forth Savannahs claim for a
large appropriation for the improve
ment of it's harbor. The letter is sign
ed by Mayor Myers as chairman of the
Harbor Improvement Committee.
1t says, in part:
1.-THE city of Savannah, with it's bus
mess organizations, is now endeavor-
ing to secure action by Congress look
ing to survey of it's river and har-
Dor, with a view to Improvements
that will give thirty feet of water at
mean low tide to the sea. The posi-
ton of this port, it's growing impor-
lance to the commercial interests of
the West and South, and the peculiar
ly favorable position 1t enjoys with re-
spect to the Panama canal, make it
especially to the interest of the bust
ness men of those sections that Con-
gress should take favorable action on
this petition. Deeper water at Savan-
nah means larger vessels visiting this
port and cheaper freight rates, which
will rebound to the benefit of the agri-
cultural, mining and manufacturing
interests of the country extending as
far West as Omaha, and beyond.
This city and its commercial Or
CARNATIONS unite in the request that
your body give it's valuable assistance
to the petition now pending in Con-
gress. If you can adopt resolutions
favorable to a survey of our river and
harbor and otherwise bring influence
to bear at Washington in our behalf
it will be greatly appreciated. Our
interests are, in a large measure, mu-
tual. and we feel that in promoting
the interests of this port you will be
but opening a doorway through which
your products can find their way to
the markets of the world at less cost
than now"

MURDEROUS ASSAULT
WAS NOT PROVEN.

Clarence Johnson was put on trial
yesterday in the Superior Court
charged with assault with intent to
murder on negro named Parker.
The evidence disclosed the fact that
Parker claimed Johnson had promul-
gated scandalous reports concerning
his wife, and he had gone to make
his wife's traducer make reparation
when he was set upon, and a pistol
was fired at him.
The defense, represented by Mr.. Ed
ward Abrahams, set out that Parker
had gone to the residence of Johnson,
in company with his brother-in-law,
between 10 and II o'clock at night,
and that he had not assailed his
visitors. The jury brought in a
verdict of not guilty The state was
represented by Assistant Solicitor d.
]. Charlton.

SOLDIERS TRIED
BATTLE EXERCISES.
First Regiment Infantry to Hold
school of Instruction.

The commands of the First Regi-
ment, Infantry. were marked by an
unusually large attendance last night
because of the interest that is being
taken in the battle exercises that are
to be given at Tybee on Washington's
Birthday. The drill was devoted to
the practice of the maneuvers that will
be needed on this occasion.
General orders relating to these ex-
ercses were issued, in which were
given the information printed in yes
terday's Morning News. Particular
care will be taken to see that none of
the men go into action with any ball
cartridges. Two inspections will be
made to make sure that only blank
ammunition has been issued, and the
movement of the exercises will not be-
gin until each battalion commander
has received the report of these in
spections from all the company COM
manders of his battalion.

Picture mt City Exchange May Not
Go to Art Gallery.
great many requests have been re-
ceived at the City Exchange that the
picture of Gen. Robert E. Lee, which
hangs in the Council chamber, be plac-
ed in the Public Library until the new
City Hall is completed.
The picture has been offered to the
Telfair Art Gallery for safe keeping,
but those who have called the mat
ter to the attention of the city off,
cials say there are so many more Wis
ators to the library it would be bet
ter to leave the picture there.
The board of managers of the library
will meet in monthly session Thurs
day night, and it is thought that some
action will be taken looking toward
sending a request to the Mayor that
the picture be sent there for safe keep
ing.
