ORDINANCES INTRODUCED
TO LAY OUT STREETS
bay Street and OgIethOrpe Avenue
to Have Sidewalks.

hay Street and OgIethOrpe Avenue
to Have Sidewalks.
Two ordinances for the laying out of
streets were introduced by the Streets
and Lanes Committee and read for the
first time in Council last night. 1t is
proposed to lay out Bay street from
Farm to the Ogeechee canal and Ogle-
thorpe avenue from West Broad to
Farm.
These streets are now open, but are
not marked off. The ordinances fix
the boundary, the width of the side
walks and SO on. On Bay street it is
proposed to have a roadway forty feet
wide, bounded on either side by a walk
ten feet in width. The sidewalks are
to be paved with brick and the ordi-
nance provides that the owners shall
have the brick laid within ninety days
after the passage of the ordinance. In
the event the owners fail to comply
with this, the city will lay the side
walks and make the owners pay for
the work.
On Oglethorpe avenue a roadway
thirty feet in width, with grass plats
of four feet on either side and walks
of seven feet, is proposed. The side
walks must be laid within ninety days,
as is provided in the Bay street ordi-
nance. The ordinances will be passed
at the next regular meeting of Coun-

FREIGHT RATE DELEGATION
WILL LEAVE TONIGHT.
VIII Appear Before Commission To-

Will Appear Before Commission To-
morrow in Savannah's Behalf
The Savannah delegation 10 appear
before the Railroad Commission to-
morrow to protest against freight rate
Determinations against Savannah will
leave for Atlanta tonight over the
Central in a special car, which has
been engaged by Mayor Myers.
There will be eighteen or twenty in
the party, forming a strong delegation.
The Railroad Commissioners will be
made to see that Savannah means
business. Col. Garrard, the city at
torney, will make the argument for the
delegation, though others of the party
will also speak. Gov. Terrell will be
called upon by the Savannah visit
Ors and his aid sought in the freight
rate fight. The names of most of
those who are going were given in
this paper yesterday. There are others
who will probably decide to-day to go.
Mayor Myers stated last night that he
thought it was the duty of the manu-
facturers and business men to go, so
that it win be seen that the Savan
nah people are in earnest.
At the quarterly meeting of the
Board of Trade yesterday afternoon
the following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That the Savannah Board
of Trade demand that the city of Sa-
vannah be given the same percentage
of reduction in freight rates as has
been given the city of Atlanta accord
ing to circulars 301 and 302 OF the Rail-
road Commission, and that these rates
be not effective until the city of Sa-
Vannah is accorded the same percent
age of reduction as shown by said cir
culars.'
Vice President ]. ]. Cummings was
authorized by the board to represent
that body on the committee, which
leaves tonight for Atlanta to protest
against the determinations. All the
business bodies of the city are now
in line, the fight against the proposed
rates for Atlanta unless Savannah is
to be given the same reductions.
Mayor Myers, the chairman of the
committee, is very hopeful that the
commission will now be able to get the
rate reductions for Savannah arranged
by the time the cases now in the courts
are decided.

Number of Minor Matters Were TAX
en- UD at the Session.
Alderman Massey, of Macon, was an
interested spectator at last nights ses-
sion of Council. The Macon alder
man came to Savannah in the inter-
est of the Standard Brick Company
and yesterday closed a contract with
the New York Supply and Construc-
ton Company for furnishing the brick
for the new National Bank of Savan-
nah building.
All the aldermen were present, except
Aldermen CAVITY and Oliver. Bills
against the city amounting to $37 900. SO
were approved and ordered paid. The
Committee on Finance reported on the
settlement of the Jefferson street paw
ing cases. The matter had been refer
red to the Mayor and the committee
with power to act and the report was
received as information.
A petition from Rev. G.. A. Ottman.
asking the city to give lot in Laurel
Grove Cemetery to the ST. Paul S
Church to be used as a burial ground
for the poor, was referred to the Com
mittee of the Whole. Two petitions
for lights on Stone street and for the
opening of the street from Montgoln-
cry to jefferson were read. They were
referred jointly to the Streets and
Lanes Committee and the Committee
on Opening Streets. A petition, ask
ing for the opening of Thirty fifth

BROAD WALK FOR THE
GIRLS TO PROMENADE.
Pleasure of Fair Sex Determines
Park Extension Plan.

Pleasure of Fair Sex Determines
Park Extension Plan.
Because girls like to walk arm in
arm, six or ten abreast, the city has
decided upon a single, broad walk
through the Park Extension, instead of
the two narrower walks, with a grass
plat in the center, as had also been
suggested. The walk will be twenty
feet wide and the girls can promenade
to their hearts content.
resolution by the Streets and
Lanes Committee, authorizing that
body to have an artificial stone walk
laid through the Park Extension at a
cost not to exceed $3.50, was passed
by Council last night The Streets
and Lanes Committee will have the
entire matter in charge, and bids for
the work will probably be advertised
for soon.
The plan for the walk was adopted
at meeting of the committee yester-
day. The two plans, outlined in the
Morning News of yesterday, were sub
mitted. Assistant City Engineer How
ard had made drawings of both the
single and the double walk and these
were submitted. The alderman who
had the deciding voice in the matter
explained later about the girls liking
to walk arm and arm. AS he is a
married man. his name is withheld

WANT ST0CKH0LDE
TO PAY FOR STOCK.
Attorneys for KrouskoR Creditors
Filed Motion.


Travis & Edwards, on behalf OF cred
itors Of the Krouskoff Millinery Com
pany, yesterday filed a motion with
Referee A. II. MacDonell in which they
ask the court to direct the trustee to
require the stockholders to pay into
the registry Of the court the amount
of their unpaid stock subscriptions,
this money to be devoted to paying
off the debts of the firm.
The motion is the outcome of evil
dence given by Mr.. Krouskoff before
the referee. The motion states that
when Mr. S. Krouskoff failed several
years ago he made an agreement with
his creditors whereby he retained the
stock in trade then owned by him, val
ued at $1,000, and formed the company
which lately took out bankruptcy pa
pers. 1t was agreed that Mr.. Krous-
koff should issue $4,000 worth of capt.
tai stock, that being the amount of his
Indebtedness to his creditors. The con-
Germ was duly incorporated under the
law of Georgia.
1t is now claimed that the Krous-
koff Millinery Company paid off and
took up it's stock as an individual in
debtedness. The movants seek to have
these stockholders pay into the regis
try of the court an amount equal to
the unpaid stock subscriptions. On the
disposition of this motion, which has
been assigned for a hearing next week,
will depend the amount realized by
the creditors of the bankrupt concern.

QUARTERLY STATEMENT
OF ClTYS EXPENSES
READ AS SCHEDULED

The third quarterly statement of city
expenses, as announced in the Morn
ing News yesterday, was read at the
meeting of Council last night. The
waterworks makes by far the best
showing of any of the departments,
having left on hand now $17,65O.14.
Some of the departments with larger
appropriations have an equally large
sum now on hand. but none of them
will Garry over as much at the end
of the year as this department. Mayor
Myers has been making careful ex-
animation of the cfty's financial condi-
ton, not only going over the quar-
terly statement. but investigating col
lections both in the treasurers Office
and the nfarshals Office. He is pleas
ed at the general outlook, though some
of the departments will run short. A
majority of them,l however, will fin
ish the year within their appropria-
ton.

Col. Quinn Authorized to Order Big
Dredge to Savannah.

Col. Quinn Authorized to Order Big
Dredge to Savannah.
Col. James B. Quinn, division chief
of United States engineers, was yes
terday officially authorized by the de-
partment to order the big sea-going
suction dredge Cumberland to come to
Savannah as soon as the work at
Fernandina was completed. The big
dredge is now at the Florida city
deepening the harbor, and Col Quinn
expects that the work there will be
finished by Nov. 1.
The dredge will continue the work
in which it was engaged in Savannah
harbor last year the removal of Ty-
bee knoll. The powerful vessel will
undoubtedly make short work of what
remains of the knoll the greatest
part of the work having been accom-
plished on the occasion of the last
visit of the boat to this harbor. Col.
Quinn cannot state just how long the
boat will be kept here, but it is not
likely that it will be sent away until
the removal of the knoll has been COM
pleted,

STORM DEVELOPING
IN THE CARIBBEAN.
Not Yet Definite Enough to Predict
Its Probable Course.

Its Probable Course.
A second telegram from the Weather
Bureau at Washington, advises that
the storm conditions prevailing in the
Caribbean still continue and caution
is advised vessels sailing for ports in
that vicinity. The storm, the first
notice of which was sent out on We'd
nesday by the Weather Bureau, has
not yet developed sufficiently to allow
of it's course being predicted. No storm
signals have been ordered up, but
cautioned is advised.
The reports received yesterday at
the Weather Bureau in Savannah in
dictated that the storm conditions were
extending over considerable territory.
The station in extreme South Florida
reported increasing northeastly
winds and falling barometers. There
were no indications at Savannah of any
approaching storm and there is as yet
absolutely no danger to the coast. AS
soon as the storm has sufficiently de-
veloped to permit of it's probable de-
rection being predicted, signals will be
ordered up at the points of danger.

NEW YORK FIRM
TO BUILD BANK
WILL START WORK AT ONCE.
n. Y. SUPPLY AND CONSTRUCTION
COMPANY LOWEST BIDDER

Tenants of Old Buildings Given
short Notice to Vacate and the
Work of Tearing Away the Old
Structures Will Begin Next Week
Representative of the Successful
Firm Wired Immediately for En-
gines and other Machinery Which
VIII Be Used in Putting Up Build
ing.
The contract for the new National
Bank of Savannah building was yes
terday morning awarded to the Cen
eral Supply and Construction Com
pany, of New York, whose bid was
the lowest of the seven submitted. The
contract price was not given out, but
it is understood to be in the neighbour
hood of 100000.
Immediately upon the award of the
contract, Mr.. r. P. Taylor, who repre-
sents the successful firm, wired to New
York for the machinery that will be
used in the construction of the build
ing. These will be shipped at once
and work on the building will be start
ed as soon as possible. The tearing
down of the old buildings that are now
on the property, where the building is
to be erected, will be started next
week.
FOrty-Eight Hours Notice.
The tenants in the old buildings
were all given forty-eight hours to va
cate. This notice was served yester-
day morning, but the representative
of the General Supply and Construc-
ton Company agreed to allow those
who cared to to remain in the build
ings until Monday. Early in the week
the work of tearing the old buildings
away will be begun. The lot will be
cleared in a very short time, it is
thought, as the buildings are old and
are frame structures.
Under the contract the building is
to be finished by Aug. 1 of next year.
1t is thought that is ample time for
the work, as there will be little or no
delay in getting started. Mr.. Taylor
will remain in Savannah until the work
is we'll under way. He says the build
ing will be finished in contract time.
Limestone Chosen.
The specifications were prepared
with both limestone and marble for
the basement and first two stories, and
bids We're received on each, but the
directors have decided to take the lime
stone. This will be used up to the
third story, and the remainder of the
building will be of the finest pressed
brick, with the exception of the two
top stories and the parapet, which are
to be of terra Gotta.
The building will be ten stories, be-
sides the basement, half of which will
be above the level of the sidewalk. 1t
will be the tallest and the finest build
ing in the city, every convenience
known in modern Office building struc-
ture being included in the plans.

JUDGE NORWOOD PLACED
ON INFORMATION DOCKET

Health Officers Reported Him for
Not Cutting Weeds.
Judge Thomas NJ. Norwood of the
City Court will be tried before the Re-
corder Monday for failure to comply
with the health ordinance relative to
cutting weeds on his property. The
charges were preferred by DR.. Brun-
ner of the health department.
In addition to Judge Norwood a
number of other prominent citizens
were put On the information docket
and will answer to the charges.
Much complaint has been made of
late of the unclean condition of the
streets in several portions of the city.
Especially is this said to be so in the
neighborhood of some of the school
buildings, where loose paper and other
trash is allowed to accumulate.

ABDUL TERATED WHISKY
PROBABLY FOR SALE
In Some of the Poorer Bars of the
City, Says salOOnists.

City, Says SalOOnists.
The dispatch in yesterdays Morn
ing News that sixteen persons had
died as the result of drinking whisky
which had been adulterated with wood
alcohol and sold them from a New
York bar, was read with interest by
Savannah liquor dealers and saloonists.
The general opinion is that though
adulterated whisky may be and prob
ably is, sold in Savannah that wood
alcohol is not used. Not a single sa-
loonist or wholesale liquor man could
be found who had ever heard of such
an adulteration before.
Authorizations are common in all
cities" said one salOOnist, land it Is
not probable that Savannah is any ex-
ception. If a chemical test should be
made of all the whisky sold in the
city l have no doubt but that there
would be many evidences Of adultera-
ton. Alcohol is often used to strength
en- certain alleged whiskys, though l
never before heard of the wood alco-
hol being used.
This system of aduIteration is most
common in the loW-class bars, where
the proprietors cater to what is COM
monty called the cheap trade The
negroes, some of the lower class of
sailors, many of the foreigners, and
even some of the habitual drunkards
among the lowest class of whites, de-
mand that the whisky be strong
enough to burn when it goes down.
The sensation of burning is the stand
ard by which they Judge the quality
of the whisky.
The proprietors of the low resort
bars and bars near dives and in the
poorer sections of the city well know
this fact and SO prepare to make use of
it for their own gain. They
will use some weak whisky or
some poor imitation of it, and then
load it up with alcohol etc, and sell
it as high grade whisky. This whis-
ky is always sold from large, un-
marked bottles, and if you ask what
brand is used the proprietor is always
ready with a story of the latest on
the market I have no doubt but that
the New York proprietor substituted
wood alcohol for the ordinary variety,
with the dire results announced in
your press dispatches"

SAWMlLL MEN WANT
ROADS TO EQUIP CARS.
Also Want Equitable Adjustment OF
Demurrage Charges.

DemurraEe Charges.
During the session of the Interstate
Sawmill Association in Savannah Gay
before yesterday, there was consider
able discussion as to the position OF
the railroads in handling lumber, and
their refusal to provide the necessary
equipment for shipments.
The Georgia Transportation Commit
tee, headed by President H. H. Tiff.
will at once take steps towards haV-
ing a bill passed in this state requiring
roads to provide the necessary equip
ment as demanded by shippers. The
chief complaint lies in that the ship
pers are required to equip cars with
standards and to bear demurrage
charges, while the railroads pay no
demurrage for delay in transportation.
Instances We're cited where lumber
was two weeks in transit from points
within a distance of 100 miles of Sa-
Vannah for Savannah.
The completed plans for financing
the organization, and articles of incor-
poration will be passed upon at the
next meeting of the association which
will be held at Valdosta on Dec. 6.

QUARRELED WITH WIFE;
THEN DESERTED HER.
Now the Wife Asks That the Court
Grant Her a Divorce.


Grant Her a Divorce.
Suit for divorce has been instituted
in the Superior Court by Lille NJ
Mercer, asking legal separation from
her husband. Thaddeus S. Mercer. The
libel was filed by Attorney Walter w.
Sheppard, who represents the libellant.
The husband is now a resident of
Tampa, Fla. and an order for publ
cation will be given this morning by
Judge Cam.
The libellant alleges that her hus-
band has deserted her and left her
without means of support. Previous to
the desertion he was cruel and unkind
to her and once, when she was confined
to her bed by illness, ordered her to
get up or he would throw her out of
bed. He compelled her to sit up for
him at night and recognized her faith
fulness only with curses and abuse.
She makes affidavit that she attempt
ed several times to induce him to re-
form and treat her properly but with
out avail.

DEPUTY MARSHAL DOYLE
TO SELL THE N0RTHAM
Marshal White VIII Not BE Present
to Superintend the Sale.

~
Deputy United States Marshal Jo-
seph F. Doyle yesterday received word
from United States Marshal White or
dering him to proceed with the sale
of the schooner Emily F. Northam on
Saturday morning. Owing to pressing
business at Macon in connection with
his Office, Marshal White will not be
able to be present at the sale, and the
entire transaction will be in the hands
of Mr.. Doyle.
The Emily Northam is to be sold for
salvage charges. The vessel was Grip
pied during a storm at sea, and, after
having been set on fire, was ADAM
doned. The burning ship was sighted
by one of the tugs operating in the
Savannah harbor. The flames were ex-
tinguished and the vessel towed into
this port. Capt. Avery. who was in
charge Of the tug that rescued the
Emily Northam, estimates the value
of the vessel at about $4,000.
