BILLS WHICH FAILED.
Four Chatham County Bills Which Did
Not Pass the Legislature.

-FOUR Chatham County Bills Which Did
Not Pass the Legislature.
Representative Gordon was asked last
night what important bills, if any, OF local
character, failed to pass the general assem-
bly,, and he said that all the principal bills
introduced were carried, and, with the
usual amendments, are now statutory laws.
Four bills failed to pass, one of which was
the county commissioners bill providing
for the trustees, administrators, etc., TO in
vest, in fiduciary way, in the new court
house bonds. While there was no desire to
detract from the value of the bonds, it was
not thought best to make any new de-
parture, and so the bill failed of passage.
The bill providing for amending the
charter of the town of Warsaw failed. The
general assembly did not feel it equitable
to let tenants IN common have a voice in
directing the election of town officers, and
the bill, under cross-fire, was amended to
death, SO to speak; it failed to pass
The bill granting the mayor and alder
men the right Of eminent domain over the
streets and lanes was also defeated. It could
have been enacted with some amendments,
but it was apparent that the city was I'M
willing TO accept anything short of the
original bill, and as that was impossible it
died with the close of the session.
The Falligant bill to prohibit stock run
ming at large in certain sections also failed
This bill, following 80 closely upon the
election at which the cattlemen won a vic
tory on the fence law, did not meet with
favor at the hands Of the legislature and
was shelved.

THE TIDAL STATION.

Both Tidal and Hydrometer Observa-
tions Being Maze.
The tidal station built by the coast survey
at the north end of Tybee island, under the
direction of Mr.. Spaulding, is furnishing

water. The tipe of high and low tide.
and the hight of the tides
is recorded. Daily hydrometer
observations are also being made by Mr..
Spaulding under instructions from the de-
partment. A record both of the tidal and
hydrometer observations is forwa rded
monthly to the tidal division of the coast
survey. Mr.. Spaulding expects to be re-
lieved by an observer from Sandy Hook
this week.

Hurt While Riding a Mule.

James McGrath, son of John McGrath,
drayman, met with painful accident yes
terday afternoon near Lsurel Grove
cemetery while driving drove of mules
from pasture. AS he was passing a crowd
of colored boys, who, he says, were playing
"craps," one of them jumped into the road
and waved handkerchief in front of the
mule which the young man was riding.
The animal was frightened, and sprang to
the side of the road. Young McGrath,s
left leg was caught in the picket fence,
and the flesh was badly torn Just below
the knee The cuts were to the bone.
As soon as the negroes saw what they had
done they ran away. The father of young
McGrath and two brothers were some dis
lance behind him, but when they saw the
mule running they hurried to the young
mans asstance, and the mule was stopped
and the wounded man was conveyed to his
home, where Dr. Chisholm was called in and
the wound was dressed.

THE rERRAPIN SEASON CLOSE BY
The Dealers Pens at Thunderbolt
Pretty Well Filled Now.

Pretty Wen Filled Now.
The season Of terrapins will soon be in.
Terraoin dealers are waiting patiently for
the demand, and will be ready to supply il
when the statesmen at Washington assem-
BILE next month at the converting of con-
gress.
The principal demand for terrapin comes
from the national capitol, although there is
fair demand from New York aud Balti-
more. The Bostonian finds a less costly
food IN baked beans. and the PhiIadelphian
contents himself with a more frugal fare
than the Georgia terrapin. In New York.
ever, when rich men dine, the terrapin Is a
favorite dish, and dinner Is not copsid-
cred complete among statesmen at Wash
ington without the terrapin. A chef who
understands how to properly serve the es-
culent saurian will command as high a
salary as the congressman who foots the
bill for the dinner.
The terrapin is a small creature measur
ing about ~ inches long when of full
growth, and about 81 in night 1t lives
in salt water rivers and creeks, and in salt
marshes. The male terrapin is not much
more than half as large as the female. Ter
raplns are principally caught in nets, and
laws for their protection have been passed
In this state and in South Carolina and
Florida.
A MORNING NEWS reporter visited the
terrapin pens at Thunderbolt yesterday,
and found about 1000 at A. Pfaff's place.
and from 1900 to $500 at Henry Ambos'
place. They are kept in Enclosures built for
the purpose, and are fed on shrimp and
fish. At present there is no demand for
terrapin. but the dealers keep them in
stock, and have boats and men engaged in
terrapin fishing.
The price OF terrapin is high, owing to
their scarcity. They are worth all the way
from SIS to S25 per dozen, and the demand
always exceeds the supply. They are,
strange to say, sold by measurement. A
terrapin measuring 81 inches or less is not
sold as one terrapin, but three Of that size
are sold for two. Two terrapn measuring
over 519 inches would sell for three.
1hunderbolt Is the terrapin headquar tiers.
The animals are brought there in fishing
sloops, and command as high as $12 to SIS
dozen delivered there. They are shipped
IN barrels to the north in their season
They are easily kept in CONTINENT, and in
the sheds where they are kept they are let
run on the ground floor. Plenty of water
is furnished them. They are fed like hogs
in pen, and some learn to know when tn 9
feeder is about. After a short confinement
they will come at call for food.
The salt water terrapin is found from
Rhode Island TO Florida, and hibernates in
the salt marshes. 1t is during the period Of
Information that it is most esteemed for the
excellent flavor of its flesh, and it is on this
account that during the summer season
they are taken and penned like cattle or
poultry and fattened for the winter market
1t Is estimated that there are now at Thun-
derbolt something like 300 dozen terrapins,
worth not far from So 500 to 81, 500.
