BRIDGE INTO The WATER.

THE bridge question is now booming like
everything else" said gentleman yesterday
to q pencil shower There is some danger
in connection with that business | have
never seen any Of tho pspers in the city
mention. Every one stem to think the more
bridges the better. They wan: n bridge at
the foot of every alley or street. and the
first thing We know some fellow Will be
building bridge from his back door TO
connect bis property with some prominent
point, thinking that the value Of his prop
erty will be raised more than sufficient to
pay all bills"
ain building bridges all seem TO advocate
pile for support, and they drive down log
wherever the timber gets weak.
These make quite net work for catching
everything that con.es DOWN the river and
during high water come time might result
in considerable damage. Do you see? No
one seems to have o7er thought Of that and
doubtless never would but Saw sim;isr
case one time that sugg sted this to ME.
There is no doubt in my mind thst
bridges Of this kind should not be built. Let
them be placed on piers like the Douglas
avenue bridge. However, l would not ask
the railroads, and everybody concerned, to
loose their money because am fearful Of
their way of doing nor sn 1 sure they would
cut their bridges down if they should hear
me talk on the subject. Rather expect they
would not, but we may have trouble if they

an Informer in Habersham County.
JEsUP, GA, Oct. 16.-A general Jail de-
livery took place here last night. Four
prisoners who had become tired Of the
monotony of prison life concluded to
leave the inhospitahle roof that sheltered
them and seek more c0ngenial quarters.
Some friends from the outside burned a
hole through the bottom of the front door
and crawled into the hall, With crowbar
they priced open the cell doors and re-
leased Henry Moore, charged with as
salt with intent to kill; West Morris,
charged with grand larcey; Frank jack
son, charged with larceny, and Tisah

AUGUSTA, GA, Oct. 16.-The county
authorities have little mulatto baby on
their hands, and small as it is it is PROV
ing q white elephant. The other day
Phoebe Brooks, respectable colored
woman living on May avenue, was lean
ing istlessly over her gate, when q close
carriage drove up, and pretty female oc-
cupant thereof, engaging Phoebe in con-
Versatiou, asked her TO take care of a
package for her for q few moments.
Having given huge bundle to the ne
gress. the fair lady gave the word to the
driver and the carriage rapidly drove
away. Phoebe carefully guarded her
charge, but soon found it necessary
to examine the suspicious bundle, and
found it to contain a pretty little child
five weeks old. Having waited patiently
Tor the mother TO return, ana finally de-
spairng, Phoebe reported the matter TO
the police authorities, and they immedi-
ately instituted an investigation. 1t was
found that the circumstances connected
with the visit OF q couple OF ladies from
Orangeburg, y, O., who recently came to
Augusta and took rooms in Pearl Row,
show that they had hand in the affair.
At any rate the child Will be shipped in
charge of Detective Purcell TO Gussie
Mirtle tomorrow morning, and If che re-
fuses to care for 1t she will forthwith be
compelled to come TO this city TO show
cause tor refusal SO TO do.

PENsACOLA,s PROSPECTS.
The Pensacola aud NIemphis Road
Secures It's Needed Capital.

PENSACOLA, FLA, Oct. 16.-lt is stated
that the Pensacola and Memphis Railroad
Company have secured the capital to COM
mence operations at an early day. The
report of the purpose of the Baltimore
ana Ohio Railroad Company TO seek an
outlet to the Gulf through Pensacola thus
seems to be confirmed. This line will
develop very valuable sections of coun-
tro, both i'll Alabama and Mississippi, that
have not had the advantage Of railroad
facilities hitherto. 1t will give the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad
and the Erlanger lines Gulf outlet that
they Will not be slow to avail themselves
OF. 1t is rumored that strong Northern
company proposes IA line of steamers
to Pensacola as soon as the Pen
sacola and Memphis road Is running,
thus giving it an immediate business to
import and export. The company has
proposals for a line OF transatlantic
steamships from the largest steamship
owners IN the world. The TACT that Pen
sacola did not suffer a particle of damage
the whole season from the hurricanes and
high water speaks volumes In its favor.
The ground at Pensacola is all solid and
the harbor IL land-locked, and has more
than ample depth of water.
The Swedish bark Gohan Frederick ar
rived in quarantine to-day. All three of
her masts were carried away in the hur-

THE INDICTED DEPUTIES.
Judge Newman, of the United States
Court, to-day ordered the transfer of the

Collector Chisoim aud Deputy Marshal
Mcdonald, to the United States Court,
and issued writs of habeas corpus cum
causa, which are now in the hands of the
and Mcdonald have not been arrested yet
by the Fulton county Sheriff.
Fulton county jail has fallen into bad
odor with the United States Courts, which
have been in the habit of cOntining in it
prisoners on short sentences. Last spring,
when sixty or seventy United States prisO-
ners were there fatal epidemic prevailed
and several died. The prisoners were
transferred to other jails tor safety. Sub
sequently, when like number was there,
another epidemic occurred and all the pris-
oners were released on their own recogniz-
ance to save their lives. There are now
in the Jail over a hundred United States
prisoners, but recently Judge Newman
has refused 10 send any more there on ac-
count of its sanitary condition. To-day
he passed an order that Marshal
Nelms secure the services of DR.. w. +.
Westmoreland and DIR. J. r. McGaston to
act with DIR. Stiles, the United States
physician, to make a thorough examina-
ti0n OF the jail, its location, sanitary con-
dition, etc. and make the proper report in
writing, first as to the sanitary condition,
second as to how many prisoners can be
safely aud healthfully confined therein at
one time, and on any other points peril
nent and appropriate. The physician Will
be paid, by order of the court, such fees
as he may deem reasonable and just.
