ALLOWED TO FINISH ITS LINE

Mayor McDonough Explains the Sani-
tsry Boards Grant to the Electric Line
The fact of the Electrical Railway CONS
pany continuing work on its line since May
l, although the ordinance strictly forbids
the upturnIng Of soil after that date, has
caused considerable comment for several
days, particularly so from the fact that the
City and Suburban and Belt Line roads had
been refused permission to continue work on
their lines.
Mayor McDonough was asked about the
matter yesterday. He said that the
sanitary board had considered and
refused the application Of the electrical
company to extend its lines, but had
granted it the privilege of completing its
connections across streets and making
turnouts. This had been done only after
the company had clearly shown that it was
a work Of absolute necessity in order to
operate the road.
The Belt Line and City and Suburban
stated the mayor said, that they could get
along dnring the time of prohibition with
out the projected improvements, and
the sanitary board considered
that as long as it was not a necessary w ork
it should not be allowed. This is the case
in nutshell, " said the mayor. There was
but little excavating required for the work
Of the electrical road, and had it not been
allowed the line would have been practically
useless"
a profusion of lime was used everywhere
any of the soil was disturbed in order to
prevent any possible dangerous results.

DIXON BACK TO THE CAMPS
The Fugitive Con vict Turned over to
the Penitentiary Authorities.

/ The Fugitive Con vict Turned over to
the Penitentiary Authorities
! W. A. Starns, transfer guard OF the peni>
1 tentisTy, arrived in the city yesterday
morning and left last night by the Swan
nah, Florida and Western railroad for En-
pire with Robert Dixon, the escaped negro
! convict captured By Detective WetheFhorn
/ on April %.
Solicitor General Fraser wrote letter to
/ Gov. Northen several days ago about the
1 apparent neglect on the part Of the Chatta-
hOOchee company about returning Dixon to
| the penItentiary. This letter the governor
| turned over to the principal keeper. who
| sent hr. Starns after the convict. IN speak
ing of the affair yesterday 70 a MORNING
| NEWS reporter the transfer guard
said the Chattahoochee company had
acted properly in the matter from the
| beginning. The company advertised a re-
ward of $50 for Dixon delivered at its
camp, and it was willing to pay that
reward If Detective Wetherhorn had COM
piled with the provisions Of the reward.
LAS it is" said Mr.. Starns. 81 am now
prepared to pay Detective Wetherhorn his
reward, minus the expenses 10 take Dixon
to camp, which will be something in the
neighborhood Of $l4. 1t is the custom TO
have all escaped convicts returned TO camp
before the reward is paid, and had Detective
Wetherhorn complied there would have
been no trouble about the affair"
Mr.. Starns expects to capture Mingo Mel
rose within few days. Melrose is the life
term prisoner from Chatham county, who
escaped at the same time with Dixon. he
murdered Frank Cooper at negro dance In
Woodville five years ago aud was convicted
and sentenced for life on Jan %, 1886. He
is at or near Jesup, and is Swallowed by
officers.
A peculiar coincidence in the Dixon case
WAS brought to light yesterday in looking
over the Jail records. He was convicted of
burglary, and sentenced to the penitentiary
for ten years on April 25, 1890, and exactly
one year from that date he was recapsured
and committed TO Jail in this city.

NATURES KINDLY APT.

Undoubtedly the greatest comfort that
our people are blessed with in summer il
natures generous supply Of pure and
healthy ice. The northern lakes yield thou
sands Of tons Of this gracious luxury, and
consequently the homes are made happy
during the heated term. It Is blessing to
the sick. Ice keeps the meats fresh and
sound dnriHg the warmest weather, pre-
serves, fruits and perishable vegetables,
freezes our delicious cream, cools our beer :
it is the redeeming qualities Of soda water
and other summer drinks, and is an abso-
lutte necessity in furnishing US with refresh
ing draughtS of Adams alsn during the
sultry season.
We are fortunate in being able to get all
the pure natural ice that we wish. The
enterprising Wholesale beer dealer, George
Meyer, found it necessary 10 buy ice in
large quantities for bis own use in the
greatly increased beer business. He not
only has arranged to supply his personal
demands, but has a great many vessels
chartered which are continually bringing
large cargoes of pure lake ice to our city,
and has reduced the cost of this delightful
comfort, so that every body can be supplied
at a small cost.
Depots are established all over the city at
convenient points. If you want to keep
cool and live comfortable during this season
OF high temperature you should buy pure
natural ice regularly from the depots of
George Meyer.
