THE HARBOR WORK BEGUN.
Dredging Started at the Garden
Banks.

Dredging Started at the Garden
Banks.
The work Of improving the harbor to
give Savannah a permanent depth of %
feet OF water was begun yesterday at Gar
den banks. One dredge, the Tomichichi,
has commenced to dig away the BANK, but
three or four others will be added later.
At low water now there is only IS
feet of water on the banks, and one can
readily imagine the tremendous amount of
dredging which will be necessary TO give l l
feet more. c. f. Ely of the Sanford-Ross
Company is supervising the dredging. When
all the dredges and tugs get to work in the
river it will be lively scene, as it will give
employment to about 100 men.
Col. Gsynor will commence work on the
jetties next week. He has 200 men now at
work at Red Bluff 8. c., making the mat
tresses. He says there is no reason why
Savannah should not have rs feet of water
in her harbor within three years. After
this is once accomplished Col. Gaynor thinks
the improvement can be kept IN first-class
condition with the expenditure of q COM
parativ ely small amount OF money yearly,
to remove the filings oocasioned by freshets.

LOVES MURDERER DEAD.
The Man Who Killed the Wetchman
Confesses on His Deathbed.

Inc Man Who Killed the WetChman
Confesses on His Deathbed.
The mysterious assassination of Watch
man N. E. Love, at the Savannah guano
works. on the night OF Jan. 20, last, has
been cleared up. The murderer, however,
will never suffer an earthly penalty for his
crime. He has gone to the highest court
and stood trial for his cruel midnight assas-
sInation
Paul Thomas was bis name, aud he was a
South Carolina negro. Thomas died a few
weeks ago near Murray Hill. and on his
deathbed he confessed TO several friends
that he had assassinated Watchman Love.
Detective Hanley received au account Of
the affair yesterday from responsible par
ties
Thomas planned his crime deliberately
and executed it with spirit Of devilish-
ness not often surpassed. He had row
with Love once and determined to get even.
Knowing that his enemy was employed as
night Waterman at the guano mills Thomas
loaded an old musket at his South Caro-
lima home with all sorts Of old shot and
slugs and late at night got into his boat
and rowed across the river TO point near
the mills.
The negro secured his boat, walked up
the cinder road al the rear OF the mill.
climbed the fence and made a noise to at
tract his victim. Then Thomas stood behind
the big scales and waited his opportunity.
AS soon as Love came out on the warehouse
platform the negro fired upon him, scrambled
over the fence, hurried to his boat and be-
fore the news Of the assassination was
known in the city, he was safe at Murray
Hill without having left trace behind
which would lead to his capture.
Thomas became sick shortly afterward
and gradually grew worse, until death re-
lieved him a few weeks ago. When be
found that there was no longer any chance
Of recovery the negro called several friends
to his bedside and detailed the above story
Of his crime.
Thus closes the history of one of the foul
est murders ever committed in Chatham
county-one which aroused the feel
ing Of the people to a tremendous de-
gree and caused the offering OF large
rewards. but which, despite the best detect
i've skill, could not be unraveled, and looked
as il it would always remain an impenetra-
bic mystery. 1t is a pity Thomas could
not have been caught and made suffer a
richly deserved death at the ropes end but
slow disease made his end more painful than
that which the law would have melted out

The Terms on Which the Rollins SYM
dictate Takes Up the Speyer Loan.
Receiver Conner of the Central returned
yesterday morning from New York, where
be spent portion Of last week In conference
with the Hollins COMMITTEES, which is now
endeavoring to formulate plan for the re-
establishment OF the property.
Mr.. Conner said TO the MORNING NEWS
its work. 1t is making no leaps in
the dark. Mr.. Conner furnished
the committee with the information desired
by IL concerning the affairs of the Central.
Mr.. I. ii. Cunningham, who accompanied
Mr.. Conner TO New York, remained there to
make fuller explanation of the details Of
the information furnished by Mr.. Conner
There is some further information, Mr..
Conner said, specially desired by the com
mittee, which he will collect at once and
send on as soon as possible.
MIR. Conner explained the taking up of the
Speyer loan of So, 100000. This, he SAID,
was done by a syndicate headed by H. B.
Rollins q Co. and composed largely of the
banking houses represented on the commit
tee. The syndicate only undertakes to carry
the loan until July !, when it will again foil
due. Its secured by the securities formerly
held by Speyer & Co. For providing the
money with which to take up the loan
the syndicate charged a commission of .
per cent The loan bears interest at the
rate OF per cent per annum. This makes
the actual cost to the road of the extension
OF the loan at the rate OF 9 per cent. per
ennum.
Mr.. Conner said the committee will next
devote itself TO arranging for some notes
OF the Central which will soon fall due
The largest item to which the committee
will devote its attention ia the providing for
the $1,000, 900 of the tripRrtite bonds which
fall due on Jan. ]. These will be paid up
in full, with interest to date. After that
the committee will probably devote itself to
the debentures and the floating indebtedness
which has not been already cared for,
though Mr.. Conner said it was too early
yet to say what would be done about the
debentures
1.-The committee, said MIR. Conner, sis In
earnest, and is confident that it can devise
some plan which will be just to all to extrl-
cate the company from its difficulties.
am cooperating with the committee, as
far as possible, in furnishing all the infor-
nation at my command, and am in hopes
that some plan will be suggested to meet
the situation"

IN SPITE OF THE FENCES
THE ELECTRIC TO HAVE A LINE
ALONG THUNDERBOLT BLUFF.

The Road to be Built Under the Grant
to the Savannah and Isle of Hope
Railroad Company-President Col
Inns Expects an Injunction, but is
Satisfied That 1t Win Nothing More
Than Delay the work-The Plans for
Desvergers' Point.
Thunderbolt's property owners will have
to fence in the entire bluff down to low
water mark if they want to prevent the
building of another railroad in front of their
residences. 1t was generally supposed that
Judge MaoDonell's decision allowing the
fences to remain where they are now and
binding over the city officials to prevent any
further interference on their part, put an
end to any chance Of the Electric Railway
Company extending its line to Desvergers'
point.
Such does not seem to be the case, how
ever, and the officials of the road intend TO
have work commenced on the extension at
an early day outside Of the fence line.
owe took no interest in the court pro-
ceedings," said President Collins yesterday,
because it in no way involved our rights.
No doubt the fences were extended with the
intention OF blocking our way, but we did
not worry about them. The Electric rail-
way had no right to build along the bluff,
but the Savannah and Isle of Hope has.
The privilege was granted 1t over year
ago and holds good, fences or
no fences. / wrote Capt Purse, president
of the Savannah and Isle of Hope railway,
Offering to extend the line to Desvergers
point under It's charter, provided at the end
of our lease it would be paid for as a better
msnt. l have received reply from Capt,
Purse stating that the board Of directors
has acted favorably upon my proposition,
and all am now waiting for is to receive
| the legal authority from the Savannah and
| Isle of Hope road to go ahead with the
work.
II expect, though" continued President
| Collins, "to be enjoined by the property
| owners as soon as work is started, but the
| grant of right OF way down the bluff has
been made and l do not believe any court
in the country will stop us.
The Intention OF the Electric railway
officials is to turn Desvergers' point into a
pleasure resort for ladies aud children. A
pretty park and play ground will be laid
out and the place made attractive There
is talk among the directors Of the Savannah
and Isle Of Hope railroad of extending the
line TO Isle OF Hope during the winter. II
this is done the Electric company will lease
1t also and equip it with electricity. The
proposed route to Isle of Hope will be a
short one,

From the Ne,O YORK World.
Henry Wormser, who owns a small farm
near Wortendyke. N. j., went into the gar

morning to get an old trunk that he had
stored there two years ago He found a
swarm Of wasps had built nest on the lid
OF the box. His wife, who Is afraid of fire
arms, had gone to Ridgewood, and he re-
solved TO shoot the enemy.
He loGdediboth barrels Of the gun heavily,
using scraps of iron and rusty nails instead
OF shot. and, standing inside the door, which
be held open with his foot, he pulled the
two triggers at the same moment. The re-
coil threw him against the door, which
slammed fast. The handle was loose and it
fell on the outside, dragging the bar with
1t. The inner knob dropped on his foot and
he realized that he was locked in the garrett
with the wasps.
He wondered whether he bad killed them
ell. With the door closed he could see moth
ing. but he soon felt that the wssps saw him
plainly enough and that several scores of
them were bent on avenging the death of
their comrades. They stung him with fury
that made him drop his gun and hammer at
the door like madman, while he shouted
despairingly to what ha supposed was an
empty house for assistance.
Luckily Mrs. Wormser had left her purse
in the pocket of her dressing-gown and re-
turning for it, she heard her husbands cries
She found the handle OF the door and lber-
ated him, but was herself badly stung be-
fore she could lock in the wasps.
