IN FAVOR OF IMPROVEMENT.

The Movement to Take Down the
Fence Around Forsyth Park.
The work of laying granite crossings in
the southern portion of the city is pro-
crossing favorably. Alderman Harmon is
in favor of paving West Broad street to
Henry, and it is thought that he will have
sufficient support to carry the enterprise
through. The work of Smelling Henry
street westward, is being pushed forward,
the intention being TO shell the street as far
west as Cemetery street.
Alderman Harmon is in favor of remov-
ing the fence around the Forsyth place,
which, he says. would make the park much
more inviting, but he is not satisfied that a
majority OF the council is with him. He
thinks the suggestion a good one to remove
the iron fence of the park and let it replace
the picket fence at Laurel Grove cemetery
as far as it will go.
Alderman Cam has taken steps to i'm
prove the old cemetery lot, and at the last
meeting of council asked for $500 to cut
down the wall and put the neglected spot
in more attractive condition. The MORN

neglect which exists IN the ancient CO netary,

in the city.

cursion train left yesterday morning,
and only about 800 passengers came
down, the majority of whom
went to Tybee. The "shoofy" and
other trains brought in a number of
excursionists. The visitors at Tybee had
rather a dull time on account of the rain
1t is some what remarkable that yesterday
is the first Sunday on which it has rained

The Matron Finds a Burglar in Her
Bedroom.

the Abrams Home yesterday morning. Be-
tween and 4 o'clock the matron, Mrs.
Hart. was awakened by the noise of some
one moving in her room, and looking
closely in the darkness saw a form move
between her and the mirror on her bureau.
She jumped up and struck match, when
she saw right at her feet negro boy lying
fiat on the floor with his face hidden be-
tween his hands to prevent recognition.
From his appearance she judged the boy to
be about Is or l6 years old. She ran into
the next room to call its occupant, Mrs.
Wall, to her assistance. When she came
back into the room she found the
boy had made his escape through
window. He carried her pocketbook,
which was lying on the bureau, with him.
The book contained only small sum of
money, with W ich she intended purchasing
the weeks supply of vegetables for the
home.
Mrs Hart believes the boy was one of the
boys who is accustomed to supply the home
with vegetables, and who was acquainted
with her habit Of leaving the money on the
bureau. The city detectives will look out

a really cool day for the season The
minimum temperature was only 799, and
the mean, 750, was just - below normal. The

to very nearly two inches.
The streets were flooded and in many
places were badly washed. The sewer on
West Broad near Jones street caved in yes
terday afternoon. The cavity is large
enough to bury mule in. 1t soon filled
with water. Passengers on the West Broad
street line, for two or three TT ps, were
transferred until it vas found that the
switch could be used without danger,
although the cavein is within two feet Of
the track.
The steady cool weather Of the last sew

its mind 10 find out the terms upon which
the road could be had.
In the talk on Saturday between the

deal was said about Hutchinson's Islant as
a site for a terminal Whether that road
will regard the island with favor or
not Is a MATTER about which there

wants the right Of way through the city to

that it took the railroad people SO long to

Before the recent foreclosure sale Of that
road, both the Macon and Atlantic and the

had their attention drawn to the
