The new fire law proposed by Burling at
the previous meeting was submitted for
passage to print, the committee having made
a few amendments. The most important of
them are that no member OF the Fire De-
partment shall hold more than Que saIaried
position under the municipal or Federal
governments, except that clerks of engine
hose or hoOk-and-ladder companies may re-
eeive 50 per month for such service addi-
tlonal TO regular salaries. The Mayor, on
recommendation of the Fire Commissioners.
may dispose of Fire Department property
when II is deemed advisable, the proceeds
to be placed to the credit of the department
fund.
As soon as it was proposed Heyer called
out Call the roll, and the vote taken
found him recorded against the bill. Ellert,
1t IS known, is also against, but he happened
to be absent from the loom when the roll
was called
The other important matters considered
was the order fixing the specifications for
paving streets 10 be accepted, and fixing the
dimensions of the paving blocks. The com

Tor more than month, and Chairman Taber
OF the Street Committee, in that portion OF
his report relating TO the bonds, says:

THE SOUTH BOUND SOLID
M TRUTH IN THE RUMORs CON-
cERNING FINANCIAL TROUBLE.

rha Road Being Pushed to Compile
+ion as Rapidly as It Can Be-Ninety-
one Miles Now Finished and Part of
THAT Distance in Operation-The Sa-
7anneh River Trestle to be Finished
This Week.
Various rumors affecting the financial
,+snding of the South Bound railroad have
nAan in circulation for several days, having
bean given publicity in the Charleston and
other South Carolina papers. One rumor
ras that the South Bound had not paid its
contractors, and that they were ceasing
work in consequence.
An interview upon the subject with Chief
Engineer Wadley. who was in Charles
ton last week, appeared in yesterdays
Netus and Courier.
"Such a report might be in circulation,
hut it is not true" was Mr.. Wadley's re-
NV to a question. There can be
M truth in the report. No one
has a claim against our road. The
contractors south of our crossing with the
south Carolina railway have all been paid
IN full A great many above the crossing
who have finished have been paid. and

one who knows anything of our trausac-
tions can suggest that we are in any way
embarrassed. d."
Mr.. Wadley had not returned to Savan-
nah last night, but General Freight
Agent ]. r. Babbitt, Jr., of the South
Bound reiterated his statements to MORN
ING NEWS reporter.
'tThere is not o word of truth in the re-
mort" said Mr.. Rabbit. The South Bound
is as sound asa dollar, and can pay all of its
obligations, and will do SO as rapidly as
they mature. Those reports are put in cir
culstion bv persons, who dislike to see Sa-
ysnnah invading South Carolina territory.
THE STATUS OF THE ROAD.
what is the status of the South Bound
now. and how near completed is itp' Mr..
Rabbit was asked
"The road is completed from Savannah,
or the junction with the Central railroad,
four miles from Savannah, to the junction
with the South Carolina railroad at
Graham, a distance of ninety-one miles.
The remaining distance to Columbia, fifty
one miles. remains to be completed.
The grading upon this portion Of the
line is about completed, and track is being
laid at the rate of mile and half day.
The whole line will be completed by Octo-
Der, and we expect to run trains from Ss-
vannah to Columbia by Oct. IL. All the
line between Savannah and Graham on the
South Carolina railroad is completed, ex-
cept the Savannah river trestle, which will
be completed by Aug. Is. We contemplate
putting on schedule train Sept. between
Savannah and the South Carolina railroad
junction. The track is well laid, the road
led is in good condition, and a forty-fve-
miles-an-hour schedule can be made on it.
STATIONS ON THE ROAD.
The stations on the South Bound nave AL
ready been named along the portion Of the
line that has been completed, and are as

remme on the Tyrrhene sea. There are many among these who, like the Apu1ian shepherds, have descended from shepherd ancestors, and who all their lives soddenly follow the one vocation. But in the main they are tho little folks and the youths and wives of all the peasantry. In north ern Italy the peasantry are happier folk than those of the south. The beauty of the cities, quaintness and peaceful less of the villages and hamlets, the radiance of the valleys and the noble picturesqueness of the forests and mountains, seem to have given refexive peacefulness, sunni ness and even virility to the people. Their shepherds do not possess the grave, sad, vacuous faces of the south. Companion ship accounts largely for this. In the north the shepherd is always one of the villagers. He or she shares their every day life. The feasts, espousals, marriages, funerals, all are theirs for enjoyment and contemplation. Nearly every family has it's own little flock. Often several of these are merged into larger flock and taken to the highest mountain-lands for the entire summer. In such cases g shepherd and his family accompany them, and they live much as do their kind in Apulia. In Oc- tober the same flock will be driven to the moors and marshes of Maremme, where the shepherd and his family subsist almost entirely on snared wild-fowl which come here in myriads to escape the winters of the British Isles, the Baltic regions and the German forests.
 But tens of thousands of little hocks led by tens of thousands of little shepherds and shepherdesses leave the village greggia or sheep-fold and home every morning fer the higher glades. Sometimes dog, oft en pig trained to herd the flock, goes with them. If maiden has charge of the flock she will have her spindle or knitting, and will work and sing and tend her flock the whole day long. If lad or stripling lead a flock he will let the pig or the dog tend the sheep, with an occasional moment of executive observation, and the rest of the day he gathers mushrooms, hunts the young of birds, all of which are eagerly eaten save those of the swallow and hawk, snares forest fowl, or pipes on his flute in idle fantasy. Both must bring backload of ferns, grass, oak, elm or vine leaves with the focks at night. Some of this is for temporary use, but the winter store is chiefly thus gathered. I have counted more than one hundred of these little focks descending from the mountains with the shepherds at eventide. The valleys are voiceful with thousands of tinkling bells, with the notes from hundreds of shep- herds' flutes, with the trilli of scores ot shepherds songs. Then, as the shadows fall softly upon the hamlets, comes the housing of the sheep in the greggia, and
 the pastoral yields to the prosaic while "Ravella" and "Nencia' gain new strength l for the morrow from their bowl of stream
 ing polenta, or porridge of crushed whit
 beans. EDGAR l.. WAKEMAN.

She Meant All Right.

At a certain seminary for young ladies in the east the students of German are not allowed to speak in any other language at the table, but one young lady, more daring than the others, broke the rule and an- nounced in English to her companions that she was mashed" on certain young man.
 ''Masheda" said the young fraulein who presided over the students and who is but imperfectly acquainted with English; ''mash, what does that means"
 "Oh," spoke up one of the young ladies, wishing to save her blushing and confused companion, "when a person is very much in love with anybody she says she is 'mashed' on him.''
 The girls thought that ended the matter, but what was their surprise when the next night in prayer meeting the teacher rose with beaming face and declared: tI wish to testify, young ladies, that I am mashed on the Lord"
