Unmistakable Evidences That the
Campaign Of 1894 Is On.
There is little doubt now that the state
campaign Of 1894 is on, and the evidences
Of it may be seen by a little careful OBJ
servation. In fact, it may be said to be
almost a matter Of certainty.
OF course there are very few signs ap-
parent that such is the case, but hotel
talk, railroad car talk, and other sources
Of political gossip indicate strongly that
there is something in the wind, and that
II is not going 10 be long before the wind

Zephyrs have already begun TO fan politi-
cal faces, and to depict on them a tinge of
expectancy or hope in the staunchness of
the Notifications behind which they are
preparing for a conflict which to many
seems yet afar of.
This statement is not based upon idle
talk or hotel gossip, but on the knowl-
edge Of the existence of certain campaign
documents, which are, in the estimation
OF their possessOrs, Krupp guns, ready to
pour forth their political thunder when
the signal for the fray is given. There is

HUGH sAUssY's SAD DEATH.
His Body TO be Brought to Savannah
For Burial


The body Of Hugh Saussy, whose death
from injuries in q football game at Eliza
beth, y. J.. was announced in the MoRN-
ING News yesterday, left New York
yesterday afternoon on the Chatta-
hoochee and will reach here tomorrow
night or Thursday morning.
The announcement Of young Saussy's
death was shock 70 those who knew
him here as it was 10 his companions in
New York. The New York papers gave
full accounts Of the fatal accident
Saussy, who was playing right-guard
for the New York College team, accord
ing 10 the other players. stubbed his foot
while trying 10 tackle one Of the Eliza
beth men, and fell heavily, striking on
his head. He was picked up and carried
on the field, ana at that time his injuries
were not deemed serious. On the way 70
the hospital. however, his head suddenly
dropped forward, and he seemed 70 faint
away When the carriage reac. ID the
hospital he was unconscious, and was
carried into the operating room. where the
stat Of the hospital labOred for three
hours 70 restore him to consciousness.
All their efforts failed, however. and ne

The game, while an exciting one. was
not much different from those which pre-
ceded il. The tackling and Interference
was pretty rough. and four or I'VE PLAYERS
OF the New York team were disabled at
various times during the game. They
pluckily resumed play, and afterwards
did not complain that their opponents
acted unfairly. Both teams went to the
Elizabeth teams club house after the
game, and there changed Their clothing
They all agreed that Saussy's death was
purely accidental, and no one is blamed
for the unfortunate event.
Saussy was particularly active in the
game, and distinguished himself by his
bold playing. He made the only touchdown
scored by the New York club, and wher-
ever the fray was thickest he was in the
midst of it, Another story is that he
slipped and missed his man in the tack
ling, and this is what caused him to
60 down so heavily. IL was also said
some Of the others fell on top OF him. An
Investigation was held at the hospital,
and, after examining several Of the play
ers, II was decided that death was purely

THE cHAIN-aANa SHORT.
Slow Work on the Canal on Account
Of Depleted Camps.

There has been some complaint Of late
from the county engineer on account Of
the depletion Of the chain-gang from one
cause or another. In his last report to
the commissioners, Mai. Blandford says
As viii be perceived from the report
the gang Is rapidly depicting in mum bers,
and the sickness has been greater than
usual Leaving out the sick. about one
third Of the prisoners able to do some kind
ofwOrk are boys. women and men physi-
callv unable TO DO work on the canals and
roads Consequently when these are de-
Quoted from the able for duty the force
Is left. comparatively, quite small. and the
progress of the work is espondingly
slow. Unless recruits are soon sent out
by the courts, the gang will be reduced to
about 100, all told"
From the engineers report it is seen
that for the past month the gang has
averaged only lS2 cOnvicts daily, over 10
per cent. Of which have been sick daily
One-third of the remainder being Of such
a class as are unable for duty on the
canals, the force is really now cut down
70 about 100 for that work, and the
progress on it is suffering as a conse-
quence.
All this trouble and slow work, 50 far as
the county is concerned, however. has its
good side. II is an evidence Of a decrease
Of criminality TO such an extent that it
has become noticeable. The less work
the courts have to do and the fewer the
convictions they find it necessary 10
make, the better il is for the community.
If the county works progress more slowly
than they have done in the past, the
average citizen will be glad that the de-
creased progress is attributed to no other
fact than that above stated.

The Port Royal and Augusta Stock

Receiver Conner. who is president of the
Port Royal and Augusta railroad, went
up to Augusta last night 10 attend meet
ing Of the stock and bondholders of that
road, 70 be held there to-day.
This is the annual meeting Of the road.
and directors and officers for the coming
year will be elected. The present officers
and board OF directors will be reelected,
with few exceptions. The Central owns
the majority Of the stock and large part Of
the bonds Of the road, by which it exer-
cises control in elections The right to
exercise this control and the voting power
of the stock and bonds held was recently
granted by Justice Jackson to Recei vers
Conner and Hayes, on q petition sent him
BY Receiver Conner.
II rUmor amounts to anything Col.
Branch will probably find himself want
ing in the new board Of directors. 1t was
he who caused the split in the meeting of
the Port Royal and Western Carolina
railroad, held in Augusta last spring.
when he endeavored 10 maintain that the
Central had no right to vote its majority
stock. Il Is stated, also, that Mr.. John
". Green. who has been away for some
time on account Of illness, will proba biz
withdraw from the board. Otherwise il
IS not thought that there will be any
changes in the officials Of the new road.
There is little else TO be done beside the
transaction OF some routine business.
