PUSHING THE SOUTH BOUND.
The Stock Increased to S75o,ooo-The
BIDS Opened.

@N~o ORoACA
The call for the regular meeting of the
Savannah Construction Company yesterday
had the word Important on its margin, and
the time of meeting, 9 o'clock a. m, under
scored in red ink. The day was that set
for opening bids for the building of the first
section of the South Bound railroad. and
every member Of the board was present, ex-
cepting one.
When President Denmark and Director
Conner returned on Saturday from their
visit to New York, Baltimore and Rich
mond, it was Whispered that there was to
be more vigorous work on the South Bound,
that it was proposed to still further increase
the capital stock, and that the directory
was united as one man in building the road,
though It's councils were still somewhat
divided as to whether it should go to Column
bia or to Sumter. The former city can
doubtless offer the better inducements, but
Sumter is the shortest line TO secure a
northern connection.
Messrs. Bernard Calm and Frank =. Ham
bleton of Baltimore. Charles Watkins, Esq.
of Richmond, Va, and Col. Mike Brown of
Barnwell, arrived in the city by the early
morning train and they, with MeSsrs. Dem
mark, Flannery, Meinhard, Stillwell,
Stubs, Myers, Conner and Estill, met
promptly at o'clock at the obstruction
company's office.
The president made q statement of the re-
suit of his visit north. He had very pleas
ant trip, he said, and did a great deal of
hard work, but he had been successful in
his mission.
Chief Engineer Wadley made verbal
report of his work. He left his corps the
night before near Brunson, s. c., to come
TO the city to be present at the opening Of
the bids for the first section. He said that
the country between the Savannah river
and Brunson is very level, and q railroad
can be built through il az minimum cost
The morning session of the board was oc-
cupled in discussing railroads and railroad
building. the only important matter that
the public is interested in being the increase
OF the capital stock. Owing to the demand
for the stock and the amount subscribed
unGor the authority granted at the last
meeting being in excess of the sum fixed,
namely, 500, 600, resolution was adopted
increasing the capital stock to $750,0O0
The bids for building the first section
were opened by committee appointed for
that purpose, and, after considerable discus
sion in the board, they were referred TO a
committee consisting of the president, gen
eral manager and three directors, with
power to act.
The matter of letting the contract for the
bridge across the Savannah river was re-
ferred to the same committee, with the
same understanding.
It is not the purpose of those in control of
the South Bound to wait for meetings of
the directors The details regarding the
building of the road having been agreed
upon, it is proposed TO push the work with
all possible sDaed

Pure Water,

An article in the Times of the 9th states
that some Of our citizens send away for
spring water for drinking purposes. Why
should they do this when by the use of one
of Pasteur's Germ Proof Filters the river or
artesian water can be made absolutely pure
and wholesomes
This is new invention by the celebrated
French physician after whom it is called.
The water is forced through number of
porcelain tubes, whichare so arranged as to
be protected from the least danger Of con-
tamination, as it passes directly from the
hydrant. Physicians and others interested
are invited to inspect its workings at the
crockery house of James S. Silva, where all
information will be cheerfully furnished.

THE HEAT KEEPS UP.
A Slight Lowering OF Mercury. but no
Let Up in suffering.


Yesterday was a much cooler day
than usual for Savannah according 70
the signal bureau Thermometer. but the
heat was severely felt. Savannah's max
imum temperature was So, the lowest
maximum in the state. and the low
est of any point in the South Atlantic and
Gulf states except Charleston, which was
So. The daily thunderstorm, which began
at 2 O'Clock, lowered the temperature for
the afternoon considerably. Toe minimum
was 70S and the mean, So, was 81 below the
normal.
The heat in the interior was undated.
The temperature was few degrees lower
than Mondays record at some points, but
it was hot everywhere. At Atlanta the
maximum was 96s, Montgomery 95', Nash
vile 90 Memphis 9S'. Augusta 94S, Jack
sonville 90 and Charleston S.. IJ was
102 at Rio Grande City, Tex.
The western country was slightly cooler
than it was Monday, but was still very
hot.
In the cotton districts Montgomery
showed the highest average maximum with
9Se. The Atlanta, Augusta and Savannah
districts reported 90, and Charleston 92o.
The record of the Savannah district was as
follows: Eastman 1865, Albany 1909, Fort
Gaines IS, Millsn IS, Bainbrldge IS,
ldbilAAeflil ~ W a. u U.s. ~ f~AANAPuASA' - ,
Savannah So.
Savannah has worn the palm as the cool
est point in the district for the last several
days Millen, which was beginning to be
known as the hottest place in the district,
has fallen back, and Eastman now has that
unenviable distinction. Eastman was six
points ahead of Millen yesterday. Local
showers and thunder-storms contribute to
reduce the temperature at various points.
Thunder-5torms have come to be regarded
as part of the regular routine in Savannah.
The one yesterday afternoon was very heavy
for over an hour. High temperature,
clouds and showers may be looked for to-
day.
The photographic bureaus forecast for
July weather at sea is that generally fair
weather will prevail. Occasional moder-
ate gales, frequently accompanied by cleo
trio phenomena, will be felt north of the
10th parallel, aud West Indian hurricanes
are apt to occur, especially during the
latter part of the month. Ere
quent fogs may be expected over the Grand
Banks and off the coasts Of Nova Scotia
and Newfoundland, also off the northern
coast of the United States and along the
route in midocean. lcebergs
may be encountered in great numbers to the
southwark and eastward of The Grand
Banks, possibly as far south as the 4lst
parallel and as far east as the 10th meridian.
Field ice should be looked out for to the
eastward and southwark of Newfoundland
and off the coast of Cape Breton Island.

An Old Landmark Removed-A Pro

An Old Landmark Removed-A Pro-
life Family.
Samuel Biddenback. one of Effingham's
oldest and most respected citizens, who
died at the residence of Joseph Shearouse,
ESQ.,, near Springfield last Sunday, was
buried at the Ebenezer church cemetery,
on the Savannah river, day before yester-
day. Rev. H. s. Wingard, pastor of the
Bethel Lutheran church, conducted the
funeral services.
Mr.. Biddenback was in his S7th year and
belonged to the old stock of Salzburgers,
who are rapidly passing away. He was a
celibate. The deceased leaves and older
brother, Mr. Joshua Biddelback, in his 92d
year, and who is a remarkably active man
for one of his advanced age
sFrank K. Tarver, one of the censns enum-
orators of Effingham comfy, reports a
most prolific family, which he met with in
his rounds. 1t is the family of the late
Christopher Reisser. Mrs Reisser, who
survives, is the mother of seventeen child
dren, sixteen of whom are still living. She
had daughter who was also the mother of
seventeen children, eleven of whom are now
living Mr. Tarver says he does not think
the census records of the county will present
another such an instance of the kind.
l.. L. Rawls of Guyton has just returned
from trip to Southwest Georgia, and
reports the crops as good as land can pro-
duce, which is very fine. He says if the
seasons continue favorable an immense crop
of corn and cotton will be made. Mr..
Rawls says Col. Northen has the lead for
governor, and, from what he has seen and
heard, Northen will be able to maintain 1t
and will go in on the first ballot.
Mr.. Rawls spent most of the time in the
Fourth district, and he says that Congress
man Grimes is meeting with considerable
opposition on account of the numerous
local candidates who are aspiring for con-
gressional honors.
Guyton and vicinity has been favored
with fine rains the last three or four days,
which were greatly needed.

TAKE DOWN THE FENOEs.

The Park Extension Improve ment
Suggests Another.
Now that the fence has been removed
from around the park extension the i'm
provement ts as apparent as when the
fencing was taken down around johnson
square, and it has been suggested by many
that the park fence ought to be removed
and made to do service to enclose Laurel
Grove cemetery.
The beauty of the park, it is claimed will
be enhanced by a removal of the fence
which gives it cranped appearance, and
the contrast is the more unseemlY to the
eye since the fence around the park extern
sion has been removed.
The broad walks around the parade
ground are being graded and paved with
shells and when completed Will form
magnificent avenue around the entire ex-
tension. Now that the fence has been re-
moved everybody is wondering why it was
not done before.

IN AND ABOUT THE CITY
STRUCK DEAD By LIGHTNING.
Freaks of the Electric Storm at the
Lower Wharyes

91ko Va tue L4TGLEC SLOEL4 at Tie
Lower Wharves.
A severe wind storm, accompanied by g
heavy rain from clouds oyercharged with
electricity, visited the city between and 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The storm
came up from the northeast, and when it
had conferred over the city the wind veered
in a cyclonic way and drove the clouds to
the southeast
The lightning was terrific, and thunder
answered thunder from all the points of the
compass. The rosin shed of the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway was struck by
lightning. and John Bynun, a colored en-
ploye on the wharyes, was struck and killed,
and three Others were knocked down by the
shock and hal 20 be worked with for some
minutes before they were rendered con-
scious
There were a large number Of hands in
the shed at the time who had been rolling
turpentine and rosin. They had just finished
eating their dinner, and were grouped about
under the shed when a thunderbolt struck
the shed at the lower end, tearing hole In
the roof The current ran along the plate
Tor distance Of several hundred feet and
passed off down one of the
uprights, splintering it. A portion of the
current leaped from the frame work of
the shed and struck Bynum with

there were some narrow escapes One of
the hands had just drank from gutter

away the gutter spout was torn to pieces by
the electric current Several barrels of
rosin outside the shed were struck, and one
was torn to pieces. The barrel of turpen-
tine upon which Bynum was leaning at the
time of his death was splintered.
The horse Of Richard P. Jewett, naval
stores inspector, was hitched to the shed,
but escaped uninjured. The shed was
struck by lightning once before this sum-
mer. The death from lightning yes
terday is the first that has oc-
Cured in this city for several years,
as it is OF rare occurrence here. The
clouds seem to be more heavily charged
with electricity this summer than is usual,
and 1T is thought by many that the vicinity
OF naval stores is an attraction. The st.
Nicholas was struck by lightning at her slip
last Wednesday, and it is believed by some
that she was again struck Sunday night,
