The Laying Of the Seventy Pound Ra
Being Pushed South.

The Laying Of the Seventy Pound Rail
Being Pushed South.
The progress in laying the ssventy-pound
steel rail on the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway has been rapid for the
last few weeks. Beginning at the third
mile post the rail has been laid about ten
miles westward, and the work will be
pushed until Jesup is reached Thence il
will be pushed on to jacksonville The Joints
are made between the cross-ties and are
secured by clamps fitting close in the
groove of the rail. The difference in run
nlng over the present rails and the new
rail-, for short distance west of Savannah
is very perceptible to passengers. The
jumping OF cars on the old track, which has
slightly spread from the excessive wet
weather, ceases Immediately when the train
gets On the seventy-pound rail. The trains
glide along as smoothly as rubber wheels
on glass.
Camping the rails and making the Joints
between croSsties is an Improvement, rail-
road men say. The jolting is prevented by
this means and the track is less liable to
expand. The running over the crosstle is
smooth, and the weight of the train, on the
joint between the ties has a tendency to
draw the ends of the rails together and
make more perfect joint while the train
Is running over it.
The most improved rails used by many
of the northern railroads. and gradually
being introduced in the south, are the rails
made tapering at the ends. From a few
inches of the end of the rails enough is
taken or to make a perfect lengthened
triangular joint, instead of a square joint
as heretofore. The triangular joints are
fastened by four bolts through the joint,
instead of the clamps.
The Charleston and Savannah railroad is
using the improved rail for some distance
out of Charleston toward Savannah. 1t is
understood that the rail Will be laid over
the greater portion of the line. A railroad
man said last night that the introduction of
the new rail in the south and west is becom-
ing more rapid and more attention is being
paid to the Improvement of the roads in
the south, and he predicted that the dav

ten miles from the city, at noon Saturday,
the south-bound passenger train striking
him in the left temple, making a wound

him on the head. The injured man was

had without medical aid, there being no
physician near there, and when the down
train came along he was put aboard and

Chief Puder Thinks the WHITAKER
Street Blaze was Incendiary.
Chief Fireman PIder made a careful ex-
animation yesterday of the surroundings
of the fire fn the Strauss Printing Com
pany's establishment. Enough was seen to
confirm the belief that the fire was the
work Of an iucendiary. Where the door
into the lane was opened the sill was
burned as if a fire. had been started there.
Over the floor the fire was confined to
waste paper aud went cut as soon as the
paper was consumed
The belief now is, and Chief Puder thinks
the investigation Of yesterday bears him
out IN it, that some inhammable matter was
put under the door ami the waste papers
caught from it. Mr. L. r. Robinson, one
II the firm, said that his idea Of the motive
OF the incendi4ry, If it was the work Of
one, was robbery. and that whoever set fire
to the house knew that Lindsay a. Morgan
had stored in the upper story large stock
of carpets and furniture. The motive, Mr..
Robinson thinks, must have been robbery
during the fire. 1t was thought on the
night of the fire that the smell Of kerosene
OIL was detected, but there was no indica-
ton yesterday OF its use. The loss Of the
fire is not less than 500, the proprietOrs
say. good deal of printed matter was
damaged to such an extent that much OF it
cannot be used. The fire was discovered by

Arrested for False Swearing.

Julius Bath, employed by the city in the
whitewashing corps, was bound over to the
superior court by Justice Warning Russell.
Jr., last Saturday, on the charge of false
swearing, on a warrant sworn out by Officer
T. f. Durham.
1t appears that Bath, upon the statement
of officer Daniels, had told the latter that
Officer Durham did not properly patrol his
beat and that himself and the mayor were
going to watch or had watched him. When
this came to Officer Dunham's attention he
at once called on the mayor, denied the
accusation, and asked for an investipa-
ton, which the mayor had, resulting in the
complete vindicauon of Officer Durham
Bath swore that he had not made any such
statement to Officer Daniels. When the
latter was called in and gave his sworn
testimony he sad that Bath had made the
statement which had been attributed to
him. The mayor also took occasion to DENY
that he had instituted OF taken any part in
an espionage upon Officer Durham. and
thereupon, after counSelng with Solicitor
General Fraser Durham swors ont the
warrant against Bath Bath gave bond i'm
the sum of $500 and was discharged from
