DR.. Wassam thinks that owing to the
good sanitary condition of the city that
the board of health will have little cause
to meet much more this fall. The street
commissioner has donei so much toward
cleaning up the streets and there is such
general tendency to heed the warnings of
the sanitary police that he anticipates that
the work of the board is about all done for
the season. The Lewis dam business is
safely pigeon holed in the council to be

6eventy-flve of Them Left Their Names
with the Ordinary Yesterday.
The liquor dealers are rather slow in be-
ginning to register for 1890. Last year
tley began registering on Dec. "a, and by
the close Of Dec 80, Sunday being Dec. 30.
113 dealers had registered.
The liq- or dealers this year did not begin
to register until yesterday morning, and at
the close of business in the ordinary s
office last night seventy-hve had
registered. Although it is a misde-
mcanor, to which a heavy penalty
attaches, not to register On or before Jan. /,
the liquor dealers paid little attention to the
law last year, and they struggled IN all
through the month of January and Tor
months after. The total number OF regis
tered LIQUOR dealers for 1889 was 321.
The license for the liquor traffic in the
city amounts to S275, of which The city gets
500, the state and county $50. and Uncle
Sam $751;
In the county outside Of the city the Ii
cense for the state and county is $50, and
for the United States government $50, but
the applicant for lice Sc must petition the
board of county commissioners, which
exercises its discretion about granting it.
The applicant must get eight or nine OF
the nearest property holders to sign has
petition, nd even then the commissioners
exercise their discretion, and may refuse
license, which was done in moro than one
insta .ce last year.

PIECES By TWO BROTHERS..

a Bryan County Feud Ends in q Trsz
edy at g Ball, in Which Harmon and
Joseph Gibson Wreak Their Ven
Rsence on a Young Farmer with
Whom They Had Quarreled--A Re-
ward offered for Their Arrest-Story
of the Tragedy.
A bloody tragedy. in which a young
farmer, John Skies, was fatally stabbed,
was enacted in Bryan county near J. A
Blitch's place last week, the particulars Of
which we're brought into the city yesterday.
The ARRAY took place at ball where a
large number Of young people had assem-
bled to celebrate Christmas Toward mid
night wSen the ball was in progress
Harmon Gibson, a young farmer,
Skies out to the gate. When the
two reached the gate Joseph Gibson, a
brother of Harmon, stabbed Skies. His
brother followed SUIT. plunging his knife
into the young mans back. Skies was not
armed, and be struggled to get out Of the
reach Of mis- assailants, but he was unable
to do SO. and he fell to the ground, bleeding
from half dozen fatal wounds in his body.
His cries for help brought several people
from the house, but the two Gibson brothers
iisd fled.
Skies was removed at once to the house
Of George Lanier, few rods away. and
DIR. Mooney summoned. The wounds were
dressed and the young man was afterward
removed to his home, five miles away.
HUNTING FOR THE AssAILANTs.
The ball broke up in confusion, and the
friends of Skies began to scour he country
fot the GliSsons Farley Burnside and Bass
Gibson, who were discovered near the
body OF Skies when he was found, have
been lodged in jail, charged with being ac-
cessory to the crime.
tits claimed tn It Burnside threw bottle
at Skies ana struck MIN in the face with it,
inflicting an ugly wound. DR.. Mooney pro-
nounced Skies case a hopeless one, and 1t is
believed that he is dead before now. The
affrsy is the result of an old feud. A year
ago the Gibson boys aud Skies became 10
VOWED ia a difficulty, and Skies won the
fight. 1t is said that the Gibson brothers
sswore vengeance, and when they
learned that Skies would attend the ball
the other night, they bought knives and
went to the house determined TO kill Skies.
ALL THE PARTIES WELL TO DO.
Skies Is about "A years of age, and is one
of the most progressive and well-to-do
farmers In Bryan county The Gibson
boys are also prosperous farmers A reward
has been offered for their arrest by the
citizens in the neighborhood where the
nffray took place. Harmon Gibson is a
spare-built man, with short face, long nose,
black mustache, light complexion, and
weighs lis or 121 pounds. Joseph Gibson
is about five feet eight inches in hight, with
dark eyes. and weighs 100 or 125 pounds.
The community in which the affray oc-
Cured is excited over it, and every fort is
being made to capture Skies assailants.

The Savannah and Western to Have
a Through Connection by April

The Savannah and Western to Have
a Through Connection by APRIL
Vice President u. B. Harold of the Sa-
vannah and Western railroad arrived in
the city from Americus yesterday. Mr..
Harold said that work on the Savannah
and Western extension, from Eden out to
Sterling, is being pushed vigorously, and
the connection will be made by April, and
probably earlier. The Savannah, Americas
and Montgomery railroad, he said, is work
log to complete its part OF the road, from
McRae to Sterling, by the same time. Mr..
Harold Thought that there will be no diff
Guilty about each Of the lines connecting at
Sterling by April.
The line, when completed, will give a
route from Savannah via Americus and
Columbus to Birmingham of not more
than 400 miles The stated route at present
over the Central is about $50 miles. Mr..
Harold said that no definite arrangements
have been made about the connection at
Sterling, that Is to say, no more than a
traffic arrangement has been made by the
roads, whereby each line will receive the
others business at the connecting point
Mr.. Harold said that the Savannah and
Western is doing an immense business now,
and the increase of traffic into Savannah by
the new line when completed will be, no
no doubt. very noticeable.

Evaporated Pears.

The MORNING NEWS has received from
Thomas W. Fleming, ESQ, of Newton,
Baker county, Georgia, box containing a
sample, and quite a large one, of evaporated
LeConte pears. Mr. Fleming is OF the we'll
known Liberty county family of that name,
but he moved from there alb lut three years
ago. In his letter accompanying the pears
Mr.. Fleming says: sin August last my
little grandsons climbed the trees, my
daughter and granddaughters did all the
other work except cutting the wood.
Then my children were careful to see that
uniform heat was kept up from sunrise to
late bedtime We made it partial success,
and, if next year be as good fruit year as
this, we hope for perfect success The
evaporated pears have been tasted and
tested and found to make an excellent
preserve. The MORNING NEWS is of ths
opinion that if MIR. Fleming and his family
have made more than a partial success,
they have succeeded.
