DELAY TO PEACHES
BASIS OF ACTION.
Three Suits Brought Against Central
of Georgia by c. IL. Mccall.


of Georgia by c. IL. Mccall.
Failing to get satisfaction for three
shipments of peaches alleged to have
been badly damaged by delay in ham
ding or lost by the railroads, c. H
Mccall of Buena Vista. Ga, yesterday
entered suit in the Superior Court
against the Central of Georgia Rail-
way Company in three separate cases.
The first suit was for 1924 alleged to
be due because of damage to that ex-
from Buena Vista on July IL, 1902,
and which did not get to market UNI
til July II, a day late.
The peaches would have brought SAL
net, so the petition alleges, had they
been received on the previous day, but
when sold they only melted $147
Though requested to do so, the defend
ant company had refused to pay the
difference, claiming that the delay was
not on it's line. When asked to as
certain the guilty road, no answer was
received, it is alleged.
On June 5, 1903, Mr.. Mccall shipped
543 crates to New York which should
have arrived June 8. The shipment
was never received by the consignee.
The same course was taken as with
the first, but still no response was re-
ceived from the defendant railroad
company, according to the plaintiff.
Damages to the amount of $97250 are
asked.
On July Z, 1908 Mr. Mccall shipped
562 crates of peaches to New York
over the Central the shipment being
due to arrive July 10. The peaches
never reached their consignee, the
plaintiff claims, and damages to the
extent of $1,124 are asked.
Mr.. w. D. Crawford is attorney for
the plaintiff.

DEFENDANT ALLEGES
WIFE ABANDONED HIM.

ley VS.. Dennis Dooley. being a suit for
support, was filed yesterday in the Su-
perior Court by the defendant. The
answer alleges that the plaintiff was
abandoned by the defendant and a de-
NAL is made of any right to support
demurrer was also filed by the de-
PENDANT, through his attornies, Slater
e. Morgan, on the ground that he is
directed in the petition to appear at
the August, 1905. term of court, when
there is no such term.

NEWSPAPERS, NOT WALLS,
FOR ADVERTISERS.

In speaking yesterday of the report
that Milwaukee minister had offered
the walls of his church for advertising
purposes, Rev. A. NJ. Williams, pas
tor of Trinity Methodist Church, said:
That minister ought to be expelled
from the ministry and his church de-
consecrated." Mr.. Williams seemed to
think the newspaper and not the walls
of buildings ought to be the medium
of advertisers. 1T is bad he said,
Ito use the walls of ordinary build
ings for advertising purposes, much
less the walls of a church"

trainer.
In the Justices court the employer
claimed Jones had whipped a colt
cruelty, and that he had been dis
charged because he was not a suit
able trainer. Jones claimed the whip
ping was a part of his work as a
trainer, and was not severe. Judg-
ment was rendered in the justice court
for the plaintiff.

tiff alleges that the verdict was con-
trary to law. and that it was not
supported by the evidence.
Slater & Morgan are attorneys for
the plaintiffs in the certiorari proceed
ings.

QUESTION OF LIGHTS
WILL COME UP NOW.
Alderman Davant's Return to City
Means Something VIII BE Done.

Means Something VIII BE Done.
Alderman r. J. Davant. chairman
of the Streets and Lanes Committee
of Council. has returned to the city.
and it is likely that something will be
done by the city in regard to the cleo
trio lights on the streets, for which
the city pays the Savannah Electric
Company.
Alderman Davant. It will be remem-
bered. charged at a Council meeting
some time ago that the lights furnish
ed the city were not Of as great can
die power as were called for in the
contract. Mayor Myers at the time
stated the company should be made to
give lights according to contract, and
put the matter squarely up to the
Streets and Lanes Committee.
II was thought. of course, that some
action would be taken by the city, and
that an investigation would be made TO
ind out whether the lights were up to
contract. After Alderman DaVant had
left with the Knights of Pythias for
Louisville, Alderman Glatigny an
nounced that Alderman Davant had
an expert Al work testing the lights.
Alderman Davant was asked last night
about the test but declined to discuss
the matter. He would not even say
whether a test had been made.
Alderman Glatigny is interested in
the light situation, as he wishes to Sc
cure additional lights for the south
ern section of the city. Almost all APP
plications for lights have been held up
on the ground that the lights now fur
nished are not what they should be.
Through courtesy to a fellow alder
man, Alderman GlatiSny would not
bring the matter up while Alderman
Davant was out of the city. But the
South Side alderman is very much in
terested in the light situation, and 1t
is not thought he will delay matters
much longer.
Mr.. Claiborne. the electrician of the
fire and police departments. is the man
who has tested the lights, it is UNI
derstood. Whether the lights are found
TO be below contract. as charged, or
not, the matter of putting in more
lights. where they are badly needed,
viii be pushed by Alderman Glatigny.

THIS BOY BEARS
CHARMED LIFE

WALTER HORN NOW BREAKS HIS
LEG FOR SECOND TINE.

the Inst Three Months Yesterday
9sorning-Has Broken His Leg

Worse for These Accidents-LittIe
Fellow Takes Troubles as Matter
Of Course.
For the third time in the last three
months. Walter Horn of Liberty City,
son of Judge Horn Of that place, was
brought to Savannah for treatment
yesterday morning.
Young Horn carries bullet in his
brain. as the result Of an accidental
shooting some time ago. This, how
ever, is not worrying the boy. He
comes 10 Savannah this time 10 have a
fractured leg set. having Sunday after
noon broken the leg for a second time
within the last month.
The hoy puts to shame the proverbial
cat with nine lives. for he has been
the victim Of a number of injuries that
should. according to medical authori-
ties. have resulted, perhaps. in death.
Only his recent experiences are known
here, but in the last ninety days he
has gone through enough TO kill any
ordinary man.
Shot Through Brain.
Playing with a companion some
three months ago. he was shot, in
the head with a 30 calibre rife. The
bullet still reposes in the boys brain.
The shooting was entirely accidental.
The bullet entered the center of the
forehead. and penetrated the brain for
some distance, ranging slightly up
ward. 1t lodged almost at the top
OF the head and near the center.
When the shooting occurred the lad
WAS Immediately placed on a train
and hurried to Savannah. He was
placed under the care of DR.. Eugene
r Corson and sent TO the Savannah
Hospital. To attempt to extract the
bullet would very probably mean
death. Dr.. Corson and the physicians
whom he called in consultation decid-
ed He watched closely and the bull
let was allowed to remain. where it
had lodged. He soon recovered his
usual good health despite the presence
of the bullet and he was discharged
from the hospital.
Tried Falling from Tree.
Young Horn returned to his home at
Liberty City apparently all right The
bullet still lodged in his brain and
gave him no trouble at all, and he
returned to those pastimes so dear to
every boys heart. IN climbing a par
ticularly tall tree, however. ne lost his
balance and fell, breaking leg.
He was then brought to Savannah
and again placed i'm the hospital. The
leg mended in a very short time, and
he was allowed to return home. with
instructions TO use crutches for several
weeks. Sunday afternoon his crutches
slipped from under him, and he broke
his leg again in the same place where
IL was broken by falling from the tree.

PAWN SHOPS OF CHINA.

They Cut Quito n Figure In Life In
the Flowcry Land.
paWplIOking is a great institution in
The Flowcry Land. The Chinese pawn
brokers', however, is quite Il different
kind Of establishment from ours. The
pawn shop of China is more a strong
hold, a place Of quiet and safe rcpose,
for valuable jtwclry and the miscel-
lancOus and costly wardrObcs of the
people. 1t also in many instances per-
forms the equally important but some
what costly function of lending to the
needy, and, as in the collections of SIM
liar establishments of our own land,
one may sec the much priced jewels
and trinkcts Of happier times, which
caused their poor owners many Il bit
ter pang to part with, hcartaches that
were perhaps frightened with the hope
that one day they would be able to re-
deem them.
To listen to the maj selling these un-
redeemed pledges is II Of the choice
entertainments Of the Picking streets.
He is selected by the pawnbroker for
his fluency of speech and ready wit, to
which he gives full play in his humor-
GUS descriptions of the quality and his
tory of the furs and richly embroid-
cred dresses which arc piled up OH the
platform of his tent. He at times runs
off his speech in rhyme, making clever
and sarcastic allusions to the require
mcnts of his audience, pressing Il satin
