THE ISLE OF HOPE ROAD.
The Skidaway Shell Road Compan
ImpE owing it's PropertY.

The Skidaway Shell Road Company
Improving its Property.
The Skidaway Shell Road Company is
putting shells on the road from the Thun-
derbolt turn off to the four mile post. When
the company was first chartered. the road
was shelled from the city to Isle of Hope,
but during the civil war, the roadway was
cut up by the passage of artillery and
wagons, and at the close of the war the
road virtually ceased to be toll
road. Under amendments to its
charter the company abandoned all
rights to the roadway beyond the three
mile post, and for the past twenty-five
years it has kept the road shelled only to
Thunderbolt and Bonaventure. Recently
it was discovered that the company had not
complied with its charter, inasmuch as it
had failed to keep up the shelled roadway to
the four-mile post, and it at once sec to
work to have that part of it lying
south of the Thunderbolt road put
in order. If the company would
would she'll the road to Isle of Hope, or
even as far as the Montgomery cross roads,
it would doubtless find it paying invest
ment. A good roadway to Isle of Hope
would largely increase the travel between
the city aud its suburban resorts, and would
also materially assist in developing the
farming interests along the road, from
which the company would secure addi-
tional revenue

CAUGHT IN TaB ELEVATOR.
Three Senators Have a Halcyon and
Vociferous Time.
Fronl the Chicnno Me,rs

VociferOuS Time.
From the Chicago News.
There was a funny incident at the capitol
few days ago. Senators Hampton, Black
burn and Pugh were IN one of the committee
rooms of the capitol late in the afternoon
engaged in the discussion of the general
welfare Of the country and other topics.
when one of them, happening to look at his
watch discovered to his surprise that the
hour OF adjournment had long since passed.
They left their quarters hastily and went to
the elevator to be carried upstairs. where
their hats and overcoats had been left. The
elevator conductor had gone and Black
burn and Pugh started to walk upstairs
Mr.. Hampton, who has only one leg, OBJ
jected, and declaring that he could run
the elevator as well as anybody, opened
the door and stepped in. The others fol-
lowed.
1t was one of the compressed air variety
OF elevators, and no sooner had Senator
Hampton loosened the brake than the car
shot up to the roof with startling speed.
Great heavens!" exclaimed Senator
Pugh, I'VE are going bang through the
DOME"
"Hold on" now cried Hampton, "rve
got the hang of the blamed thing now,
and we will go all right" and showing the
icNeT over 10 Oue OJnSr Slu6 Cn6 car dropped
to the basement with the rapidity of light
ming.
Pugb and Blackburn wanted to get out,
but Hampton insisted on their remaining
and showed the brake over half way. The
car started slowly and went about half way
up, when it stopped between two floors.
Then the senator pulled the lever one way
and then the other, but the car would not
move. Then Blackburn and Pugh in turn
took hold of it with no better success.
"Well," remarked Pugh, 1--WE camped
in worse places, and suppose we will have
to stay here all night, only choose the long
seat and you fellows can take the short
ones" vu
There was a council of war q few mo-
ments, with discouraglng conclusions, when
footsteps were heard on the tile pavement
of the floor above. The three senators set
up combined yell, which brought an as
tonished Waterman to the elevator door.
Through the wire roof of the elevator a
parley was he'd which resulted in the
Waterman going for the engineer, who for
tunately lives near the capitol, and the
prisoners were released after about half an
hours confinement.

a Lewiston Dog Still Lives to Steal
Sirloin.
From the Le,oiston Journal.

From the Lel0iston Journal.
A Main street, grocer, whose name,
to save his blusheS, shall be sacred,
was the witness to an awful piece of sacri-
lege the other day. 10 other words a big
dog came into his meat room, stole a hunk
OF sirloin and made his escape Mindful of
the square meal that went literally to the
dogs, the grocer swore vengeance, and
loudly stated that he would amalgamate
the dog if he should ever stick his
nose across the threshold of his
store again. Time brings all things
even dogs into meat rooms, and on Wednes-
day time and hunger brought the same dog
guardedly across the street toward the
Main street grocery. The grocer saw him
coming and he deposited himself behind the
meat room door, swinging the double door
after the dog had passed it, and imprisoned
the animal. Now, preparing to amalga-
mate or pulverize or disintegrate an absent
dog is very different from performing the
same work for dog in the presence of the
dog himself. The grocer found this out for
himself. He faced the dog and found that
the animal was ready to come to the
scratch.
A double row of white teeth, ominous
growls and finally rush to the ropes sent
the grocer down stsTs into the cellar and
left the dog to run the meat room. In the
meantime the store upstairs was unguarded

PREPARING Foa MEMORIAL DAY


The Ladies' Memorial Association to
Carry Out stI Usual Programme.
the Ladies Memorial: Association held its
annual meeting at noon yesterday at the
residence of its president, Mrs. o. Cohen
No. SO Abercorn street, at which it was de-
cided to make the usual visit to Laurel
Grove cemetery to decorate the graves of
confederate soldiers on Memorial day, and
to furnish confederate veterans with the
wreath for the soldiers monument in the
park extension.
Mrs. Cohen said last night that it has
been decided to have boxes at the memorial
exercises at the monument to collect fund
for the memorial association to apply to the
care of soldiers graves. The association
turned over all of ITS money. except small
fund, for the erection of the monument.
and the fund now on hand is quite small.
The collections on last memorial day were
forwarded to the memorial associ-
alton in Virginia to be applied
to marking the graves Of con-
federate soldiers from Georgia, and this
year, Mrs. Cohen says, an application has
been made for funds from the ladies of
Fredericksburg to mark the graves of Geor-
gia soldiers buried there, and she hopes the
collections next Saturday will be liberal SO
that the appeal may be met by remittance
for the noble purpose.
1t was suggested at yesterdays meeting
that detail be taken from the Busch
Zouaves to have charge Of the contribution
boxes on Memorial day. and a resolution
was adopted requesting Capt. J. r. F.
Tattnall to take charge of the matter and
assist the ladies in raising money at the
monument.
Mrs. Cohen says the decorations Of the
graves this year will not be SO elaborate as
in other years, on account of the scarcity of
flowers, the March freezes having cut short
the supply. The ladies will, however, en-
deavor to collect as many as possible, and
no grave will be neglected. Mrs. Cohen
and Mrs. j. G. Thomas are the committee
having charge of the care of the graves of
the confederate dead
