THE BELT LINE ROAD.

The Company Will Not Adopt the
Route Laid Out by the City.
The directors of the Belt Line yesterday
went over the route assigned by the city
council for the extension of the road. 1t
was agreed that the route prescribed would
not be advantageous to the company or its
patrons, as the terminus would be but little
nearer the steamship wharves than the
present terminus, and would take nearly
three-quarters of mile of additional track,
traversing three sides of square to reach it.
The company will probably ask the CITY
council to reconsider its action in refusing
to grant the right of way through Bay
street, between West Broad and Farm
streets, and also request the privilege of ex-
tending the Indian street line through
Water street TO the bridge on River street.
The Belt Line people say that they are
anxious to meet the demands Of the public
for a street railway service west of the
Ogeechee canal, but the route assigned will
not accomplish the purpose any better, or
in fact. as well as that used at present.

Cruelty to Her Adopted Child.
Martha Grant (colored) has been bound
over to answer in the city court, by Justice
Paul Kelly, on the charge of cruelty to a
little child of years adopted by her. The
charge was preferred by Susan Dennison,

then beaten with a strap, the bruises show
ing on different portions of its body, while
its wrists and ankles were swollen where il

tender flesh. Justice Kelly says that it is q
case of refined cruelty, and more than one
witness testified to seeing the woman
