TIE NEW FLORIDA LINE.

Delay in the Survey by the Laying
Up of the Steamer Farmer.
The steamer Farmer owned by the Flor
ida Central and Peninsular Railroad Com
pany and recently equipped for service in
the survey which the road Is making from
FerrandinH to Savannah for the new Flor
ida line to connect with the South Bound
under the terms of the recent deal by which
the Florida Central and Peuinsular OBJ
tained control Of the latter road has been
condemned by the United STATES inspectors
OF steamboats,, Messrs. Lee and Fitzgerald.
The steamer was inspected in the St.
Mary's river day before yesterday and was
found to be in an unsafe condition and was
ordered under repairs. She has been taken
to Jacksonville and will be laid up probably
for a couple of weeks or more. The vessels
hull was rotten and the steam pipes were in
such condition as to render her dangerous
After q thorough examination il
was apparent, not only to the inspec-
tors, but TO Mai Green, who is in
charge Of the engineering corps, by which
the vessel was used as a camp boat, that re-
pairs were necessary before she was con-
tlnued further in service.
The delay caused by the laying off of the
boat will be considerable, but that course
was the only one to pursue, as the vessels
condition required that she be given i'm
mediate attention.
A small steamer as a tender was used In
connection with the Farmer and will be
employed TO the best advantage 10 prosecut-
ing the survey while the Farmer is under
repair, 30 that as little delay as possible may
result In the work, The plans Of the en-
gineer were 20 reach Savannah in about two
months. 1t will probably be couple OF
weeks later now before the sur vey is finished

THE WEATHER BUREAUS NEEDS.
Maj. Bate Making an Inspection of the
SAVANNAH Station.

Savannah Station.
Maj. Fl. G. Bate, United States weather
bureau inspector, is in the city inspecting
the Savannah Office. He will be in the
city to-day and possibly tomorrow. He
was engaged yesterday with Observer
Smyth and Assistant Observer Renno In
going over the work here. The purpose of
bis visit is an inspection of the records and
property of the office, and to obtain a gen.
eral knowledge Of the needs Of the service.
MAJ: Bates jurisdiction as a. inspector is
unlimited. He has within the last year In
spected the principal branches of the
weather service from st. Paul to Galveston,
and the stations In the far west. This Is
bis first visit 10 Savannah. Mai
Bate Is Tennesseean, resident
OF Nashville and is an ex-newspaper man.
de recently visited Virginia and Washing
ton With the Tennessee Press Association
and while at Washington met a number of
the Georgia editors on their return from the
North. Hs left the Tennesseeans in Vir-
GINA and came south to Augusta to inspect
the weather bureau there He arrived
In savannah yesterday morning. Maj
Bate Is cousin Of United States Senator
Bate of Tennessee. He is thoroughly in
formed upon the needs of the weather serv-
ice, which he saws is undergoing rapid
improvements under its present organiza-
tiou.
The need for better river service between
Savannah and Augusta was brought TO Mai
Bates attention in connection with OBJ
server Smyth'H Recommendation for the
establishment Of q night observation of the
hight OF the river at Augusta for
thebenefit Of the farmers and planters along
the river. de will make a special recon-
mendation TO the departments for the imme-
diate establishment of the observation so
that the planters may be advised during the
freshet season Of the stages Of the river.
Besides morning and night observation
the maximum hight of the river during the
day will be reported. Mr.. Bates is impressed
with the need OF one or more
intermediate observation stations between
here and Augusta SO that during fresbet
its progress may be reported, The diff
Guilty in the way of establishing these
stations Is a lack OF Geographic connection.
There is no point on the river above the
South Bound railroad bridge, 80 miles west
OF Savannah and Augusta that is
reached by telegraph and the only way to
establish q station would be by the building
of a telegraph line. Mai. Bate realizes the
Importance to planters of full informa alton
as 10 the stage of the river whensver a
freshe5 Is imminent, and he will make
such recommendations as will speedily se-
cure TO them the best service obtainable.
The Savannah Office is an important one
ana the service rendered by Observer Smyth
and Assistant Observer Renno Is thoroughly
satisfactory.

TO HANG IN THE MORNING
SUs WILLIAMS PREPARING FOR
HIS FATE.

He Has at Last Embraced Religion
and VIII Die Baptist-He Still In
eists BE is Innocent OF Meyers Muir
der-SpendinR Eis Last Hours in
Singing and Prayer - Everything
Ready for the Execution.
August Meyers brutal murder is about
20 be partially avenged, Tomorrow morn
ing, between 10 and IL O'Clock, Gus Will
Jams, one of the bloody conspirators who
helped club out his life with an az handle,
will be hanged in the gallowB room Of the
jail.
The arrangements for the execution have
been perfected. The rope is ready and will
be put IN the ring and tested to-day 1t Is
the same style of stout rope which was used
TO hang Cummings, and Williams will get
about 6-foot drop. The condemned mans
last suit OF clothes will be provided to-day
by Sheriff Roman and in comparatively q
few hours he will don them 70 go to his
grave.
Up to day or two ago Williams paid
no attention to his spiritual welfare, seem-
ing 70 hope that something would turn up
20 save him from the Rallowa Finally he
realized that his hopes were in vain, and he
decided TO prepare for his journey TO the
other world. Williams selected Rev Alex.
ander Harris, the venerable colored Baptist
minister who has prepared many murderers
for the gallows, 70 give him spiritual oon-
ISOLATION, aud is paying strict attention to his
teachings.
Yesterday the condemned man declined
to see any visitors except his minister, and
spent the entire day in singing hymns and
praying. He was not at all boisterous about
his conversion, and sang his hymns In a
low, subdued tone, which came out through
the corridors like plant aud sounded quite
melancholy
AS usual on such occasions the approach
ing hanging has its effect on all the other
prisoners in the jail The hilaritY generally
noticeable among the prisoners while exer-
cising in the corridor is gone and they walk
about quietly conversing in low tones and
pass Williams cell on their tip toes. The
shadow Of death turks over the jail and the
prisoners seem 10 feel they are walking
In it.
Williams has little 10 say TO any Of bis
fellow prisoners now. but whenever he does
he always proclaims his innocence Of any
connection with Mr.. Meyers murder.
The condemned man has not yet chosen his
time for hanging, but it will be some time
between 10 o'clock and II O'clock. 1t will
avail nothing for people TO ask for permits
sion to see the hanging, as under the direc-
tion Of the court 1t is to be as strictly private
as possible Only the officers who win take
part in the execution, the board OF examin-
ing physicians and a representative from
each Of the daily papers will be allowed to
witness the execution.
