WOunding j. A. Overstreet.
Efforts are being made by both the
police and officers of Justice Nathans
court to locate and arrest r. G.. Nor
ton. for whom a warrant for assault

1t is charged by ]. A. Overstreet of
No. sos Price street, that Norton fired
at him with derringer near the Con-
federate monument, in the Park Ex-
tension, and wounded him in the right
side. 1t is claimed by Overstreet that

he was unprepared. and he has en-
ployed John e. Myrick, Esq, to as
sist in the prosecution of Norton.
Overstreet alleges that he was taxi
ing Mrs. S. l.. Norton to her fathers
home when he was accosted by Norton,
from whom she was divorced. 1t is
alleged by Overstreet that Norton
cursed him and fired both barrels of
the derringer. One bullet struck him
in the right side, but hit a rib and
glanced. The other tore the right

REACHED DECISION AT
GARBAGE CONFERENCE.

Electric Company VIII Receive
$1,000 Additional Compensation.
There was a conference yesterday
between representatives of the city
and the Savannah Electric Company
relative to the proposed amendment to
the garbage contract.
The new contract was not drawn
but certain changes were agreed upon.
Instead of one new car, the railway
company is to get two. making eight
garbage cars in all, instead of six.
The city is to pay the company $1,000,
instead of $1,000, in addition to the sum
paid under the old contract.
Mayor Myers, City Attorney Gar
rard the director of public works
and Alderman Davant, the chairman
of the Streets and Lanes Commit
ference, while President Baldwin and
Manager Nash represented the cleo
trio company.
The contract will be gotten into
shape in rapid order now, as prac-
tically everything has been agreed
upon. Mayor Myers has been given
authority to sign the contract for the
city without submitting it to Coun-
ell. This will be done within the next
few days.
The work necessary to changing the
garbage dump at the county farm will
be started Immediately. The new route
for the garbage cars has not been de-
termined upon. Montgomery street to
Best and then on to the Isle of Hope
line will probably be selected.

SMOKER IN HONOR OF
CAPT. C. H. K0NEMANN.
Given by German Volunteers I'm
First Regiment Armory.

Given by German Volunteers in
First Regiment Armory.
Capt. c. H. Konemann was the guest
Of honor at a smoker, an informal but
most enjoyable affair. that was given
him by the members of his company,
the German Volunteers, last night.
The occasion was apropos as Capt.
Konemann will leave Monday for a
visit to Germany, and an extended
He will be accompanied by Mrs. Kone-
mann and child.
The smoker was given after the reg
ular drill of the company, and took
place in the company's quarters. At
the head of long table, containing
an excellent supper, prepared by the
lady friends of the command, sat the
officers of the company, and guests of
honor, while the other members of
the command lined up on each side
of the remainder of the board.
The officers and guests were Capt.
c. H. Konemann, Col. G. A. Gordon,
in command of the regiment; Maj. w.
f. Coney, First Lieutenant ]. D.
Helmken, Second Lieutenant R. w.
Baughn and Messrs. Henry Schroeder
and D. Rosenbrook, veteran members.
Lieut.. Baughn, the POSTMASTER, in
troduced Col. Gordon, who paid a fine
tribute to Capt. Konemann. He had
heard, he said, some one say that it
was an advantage to be captain of the
German Volunteers: he wanted to say
that it was an advantage to the Ger
man Volunteers to have such a cap
tain. Speaking from the standpoint
of the regiment he said that of all
the men with whom he had been con-
nected he knew of no more capable
and efficient officer than Capt. Kone-
mann, who is not only one of the best
rifle shots and one of the best posted
men in the regiment, but has also the
faculty of imparting his knowledge to
his men. The company, he said, was
to be congratulated on having such an
officer.
Turning to Capt. Konemann, Col.
Gordon presented him with a hand
some gold watch charm, diamond set
which he said he presented on behalf
of the officers and men of the COM
pany, who wished by this token tC
express their appreciation of the work
done for the command and to remind
the recipient of their good wishes
which he will take with him across
the sea.
Capt. Konemann, in accepting the
gift said he was not a maker OF
speeches and would, therefore, ask
Maj. Coney to respond for him. This
Maj. Coney did and not only expressed
appreciation for the gift, but added
to Col. Gordon's tribute to the recip.
lent of 1t. He suggested to Capt
Konemann that during his stay in Ger.
many it would be of advantage tt
the regiment if he would get such in
formation of German Army method.

her of the Volunteers, Private Bevans
is soon to join the United States army
and said he is sure that the training
the young man has had In the Volun
teers will reflect credit on the organ

The men were in the best of hume
and at the close of Maj. Coney's ad
dress gave, in succession. three cheer,

ALDERMEN AT VARIANCE
ON WHAT HAPPENED.
Differences as TO what Occurred nj
Committee Meeting.

There are differences among the
members of the Streets and Lanes
Committee of City Council.
That IS the chairman claims one
thing happened at the last meeting of
the committee and three members say
something else occurred.
The proposed beautifyng of West
Broad street by the putting down Of
a grass plot is responsible for the
difference of opinion among the mem
bers of the committee, and 1t may be
that an ordinance will not be franz
ed in time to be introduced at to-mor-
rows meeting OF Council.
Chairman Davant of the committee
says the question was not finally
agreed upon at the last meeting and
has not been agreed upon since. AL
derman McKenna, also a member of
the committee, doesn't remember that
it was finally determined to have the
ordinance drawn.
But Aldermen Dixon and Garfunkel
and Glatigny are also members of
the committee and attended the meet
ing.
They state positively that 1t was
agreed to have the grass plot.
These aldermen go even farther and
say that Alderman Garfunkel asked
Chairman Davant If he would have
the ordinance drawn in time for the
next meeting of Council, and received
an affirmative answer.
AS result Of the misunderstanding
or the faulty memory on the part of
two or three members of the commit
tee, It is probable that another meet
ing will have to be held.
1t may be, however that the mat
ter will be taken direct to Council and
that there will be some more spirited
arguments. 1t is probable too, that
some minor changes will be made in
the plans for the grass plot

Judge Cam scored Convicted Col
Ored JeweIer for Crime.


In sentencing Robert White, the coll
ored jeweler convicted of larceny after
trust in the Superior Court yesterday,

guilty, with a recommendation that
he be punished as for a misdemeanor.
White was charged and declared gull
ty of pawning a watch which had
been given him for the purpose Of re-
pairing.
When the verdict was returned Judge
Cam asked the prosecuting attorney
what he knew regarding the mans
character. II. S. Freeman, colored the
prosecutor in the case, was called. In
response to questions Freeman inform
ed the court that when he and Off
GER Dan Kiley had searched the pris-
oner for the purpose of recovering the
watch in question, they had found on
his person pawn tickets for eleven
watches, five clocks and one finger
ring.
The court asked the prisoner If he
had any reason to allege why he
should not be heavily punished. In re-
pawn tickets for the things mentioned
in the statement of Freeman, but
claimed that they were his. He came
to Savannah from Wilmington, N. c.,
and has been in the city about three
years In pronouncing sentence Judge
Cam said
1.-The jury has recommended that
you be punished as for a misdemeanor,
and though l do not like to heed the
recommendation in this case, 1 will
do so. Your case is an aggravated
one. l wish that 1 could send you to
the penitentiary for period of years,
rather than to labor on the chaingang.
But 1 shall heed the jury's recon-
mendation, even though l dislike to
have such a character as you any
where in this county The sentence of
the court is that you pay a fine of
$3.50 and on failure to do so, serve
twelve months on the county chain
gang"

tent to murder, Anderson Hilton, COL
ored, was yesterday sentenced by Judge
Cam in the Superior Court, to serve
ten years at hard labor in the peni-
Tertiary. In sentencing Hilton Judge
Cam said:
THE crime for which you were tried
and convicted was a wanton one. You
deliberately went to the home of two
helpless women, at the dead of night,
and cut them up with a razor.
Il do not propose, if it is in my pow
er, to allow such crimes to continue in
this county. and L viii make your case
an object lesson. The sentence of the
court is that you serve ten years in
the penitentiary at hard labor"

iously assaulting Stella Taylor and
Louise Jackson during the early part
of April on farm west of the city.

GASOLINE ORDINANCE MAY
AGAIN BE HELD UP.
Chairman oliver Out of Town and
no Committee Meeting Held.

Chairman oliver Out of Town and
no Committee Meeting Held.
Because of the absence from the city
of Alderman oliver. chairman of the
Fire Committee. no meeting of that
committee to consider the gasoline or
dinance was held yesterday.
Alderman Oliver is in Atlanta at
tending the Supreme Court. He had
announced several days, before leav-
ing, that he would call meeting of
his committee for yesterday at noon.
1t is not now thought that Mr.. oliver
will return to Savannah before We'd
nesday morning. This will give only
a short time for the consideration of
the gasoline ordinance, should the
committee meet at all before the ses-
sion of Council Wednesday night. I'm
less the ordinance is thoroughly con-
sidered by the committee, and an OPP
portunity given to all those interested
to appear and make suggestions, the
ordinance will doubtless be fought and
again held up in Council.

been so well covered that there is no

While here Mr.. Woodward called at
the Chamber of Commerce and also

Savannah offered for all kinds of man
