WANT LINCOLN STREET OPENED
Many People Consider the Old Gene
"a. IL. ls,.. -.

Many People Consider the Old Gene
terry Barrier to Improvement.
The discussion relative to the opening Of
Hnll street has renewed the talk Of opening
Lincoln street through the old cemetery.
1t is one OF the best streets in Savannah,
and many people who are not imbued with
sentiment can't see why n cemetery should
stand in the way Of public Improvement.
The opening of Lincoln street can easily
be accomplished without doing any material
damage TO the old burying ground. If nee
essary railing could be erected on each
side Of the street to prevent any other por-
ton Of the cemetery from being disturbed.
The opening of Lincoln street would be
convenience to the public. Savannah is
growing aud eventually this improvement
viii have to come. No really good reason,
the advocates of the improvement say, eau
be put for ward against it, and it might as
we'll be done now as in the future, for as the
younger generation comes to manhood's
estate it will not allow the cemetery to
stand as barrier in the way of the city's
progress.

Council and Business Men of savau-
nah Expected to Be Present During
Pat Calhoun's speech Before the
Legislature Aug. IL.
Representative Ryals and Clifton came
down from Atlanta yesterday morning TO
spend Sunday in Savannah, aud returned
last night.
Mr.. Clifton came especially to secure in
formation from Capt. o. NJ. c irter for use
on Aug. IL, when Pat Calhoun, Esq, and
others will address the legislature upon the
advantages to be derived from deep water
at Savannah.
Capt. Carter contends Tat Savannah has

wHARvEs IN FRESH WATER.
Capt Carter showed Mr.. Clifton two sec
tons of piliug. One was piece OF pune PIIiug
driven into the water at wharf on IFuee
two wears ago. 1t was honeycomoed 0y the
teredo, the great enemy 70 wooden snipplhg
and ali WOOD work in salt water. Inc uther
section was a piece Of pine pillng driven IN
a wharf on the Savannah river IN loJ4 1t |
was as sound as the dsv 1t was put IN the |
water. In other words, the same kind OF |
wood that lasted two years in salt water |
lasted eighty seven years IN fresh water, |
and is good for perhaps as many more.
Wharf builders say that the pine never |
rots under the water in the Savannah river |
This is the only important port on the At |
lantic coast at which durable wharves can |
be built of timber. Other ports are forced |
to use stone at an immensely greater cost.
A GREAT SAVING TO sH1P-owNERs.
The saving TO ship-owners on vessels en- |
tering q fresh water port is very great. |
After a sea voyage the null of a vessel is
covered with barnacles and ship worms and |
other sea matter, which the action OF fresh |
water entirely removes.
Vessels which do not enter fresh water |
ports require at least two dockages year, |
which is a heavy expense to the owners. |
All this is saved by patronizing fresh |
water port
Mr. Clifton will see that the members of |
the legislature are made acquainted with |
these facts. The members of the river and |
harbor commission appointed by Mayor Nc |
DoDough are expected to be present in At
lanta 10 hear Mr. Calhoun'S speech.
Representatives Clifton and Ryals are
both anxious that Mayor MoDonough aud
the members o. council should attend In
body. 1t has been suggested that party
of the business men Of the city also 20 up in
a special car. II is probable that Col. ]. J..
Warren, president OF the cotton exchange,
will head the party. The members OF the
legislature are very favorablv disposed to-
wards Savannah and are anxious to pay
tho city visit The Savannah delegatiyn
will probably invite the legislature to Sa-
vannah in the fall, and give the members

Guns Coming.

A delegation Of Hills people now at
Pierre called upon Gov. Mellette Mon
day evening, upon getting the news Of
the fight Sunday near Pine Ridge be-
tween the soldiers and Indians, and got
him to order 1000 guns with ammunition
from the Secretary of war for the Hills.
In the apportionment Meade county
will receive 150 more guns in addition
to the so already furnished. About 200
will be held in reserve at some conven-
lent point in the Hills to be distributed
quickly in case of emergency. The AD-
vERT1sER suggests that the people of
Sturgis proceed to perfect the organiza-
ton of at least one good company of
state militia, now that guns will in a
short time be available. The Indian
question is not settled by any means.

Pacific on their way to the capital. The
following named gentleman composed
the delegation:
Members of the Senate--F. j. Washa-
baugh and w. s. O'Brien, Laurence; j.
T. Potter, Meade; d. H. Clark, Pennipg-
ton; I. Scofeld, Custer.
Members of the House-A. j. Knight.

From the names last above it is easy
to see that the membership Of the AAt tlirr a

who are representative of the leading in
dustries and business interests of the
Hills country. They go to the state
capital to work in behalf of their several
departments. but on the question of the
United States senatorship they stand al,
most unanimous for the reelection of
Hon. Gideon G. Moody. In the whole
Black Hills delegation there will proba-
bly, be no more than one or two dissent
ing votes.
This shows a very considerable gain
for the senator since his last election,
and the Hills people are confident of his
rre- election. The party leaves this morn
ing for Pierre over the Chicago, Milwau-
ked and st. Paul.-Sioux City Journal.
