has HAD a HARD TIME.
Misfortunes of Noah Miner, Who Was
Held on a Groundless Charge.

1Cl0 On . GIOun0AebS O4drkSs
Noah Miner, whose release from
custody was announced in yesterdays
MORNING News after having been de-
tanned ten days at the barracks on a
charge for which it seems there was little
foundation, will remain in Savannah for
the present, aud win probably make this
city his home.
Miner has been in Savannah several
times before now, and has been employed
by Mr. J. B. Fernandez. His home is
Grapeville, N. Y. but he says he has
come here to live and make Savannah his
home. He was formerly employed by Wat
son milford, proprietor of the Waverly
House, Catskill, Greene county New York,
previous to which he had been head clerk
for three years for NJ. C. Van Pelt, at
Hunter, n. Y, in the Catskill mountains.
While there he met Messrs.
nandez, of Savannah, and they re-
quested him to come to this city. While
here he boarded with Mr.. Furber, and
left again for the summer season to re-
turn to the Van Pelt house. He came
again to Savannah three years ago, where
he worked for Mr.. Fernandez, and re-
turned again to the Hunter house, New
York
Last year was his fourth season with
milford, and though he was employed as
clerk, he says he found the duties of por-
ter and yard man imposed on him. Near
the end of the season he left the house and
went to Rockaway Beach, and afterwards
to Long Island, where he found three
weeks employment at the Manhattan
Beach hotel. He went to several cities
in that part of the country, but in one af-
ter another was unable to obtain employ
ment.
He came here from Richmond, arriving
Dec. 3, and the following day was ar
rested on a letter from Milford to Pawn
broker Muhlberg, which stated that he
was wanted for stealing 81 400 from the
former. He remained in the barracks
until Wednesday, when another letter
came stating that Milford had no ground
on which to prosecute him and he was re-
leased. He says in his position as porter
he handled very little money for the
hotel, and all of it was in checks, which
he could not have used without indorse-
ments. OF these he says he has never
had over 800 or 5000 in his possession at
any one time. Tho papers of Savannah
and the south, he says, are more kindly
disposed than those Of the north, as they
don't try to convict man before the
courts do.
Miner is young man Of good appear
ance and would make good impression on
anyone. His misfortuues have gotten the
better of,him, but he thinks and says he
can overcome everything If he can secure
employment and get to work.

WILL REBUILD THE ROAD.
Little Doubt That Tybee VIII Have a
Railroad in the Spring.


The holders of the bonds of the Savau-
nah and Atlantic Railway Company met
yesterday morning at the National Bank
of Savannah for the purpose of consider
ing what course should be pursued to pro-
tect their interests, and what steps, if
any, should be taken toward repairing
the damages done to the property by the
storm of Aug. %.
Out of S250000 bonds, $3.50, 800 were rep
resented in the meeting in person or by
proxy, and on motion of Hon. j. j. Nc
Donough, Herman Myers, ESQ, was
elected chairman, and Col. ]. H. Estill
was requested TO act as secretary.
After discussing the question before
the meeting, it was resolved TO take re-
cess until this morning, when the report
OF the engineer of the Central railroad
MIR. William Hunter, will be considered.
The report places the cost of repairing
the railroad from this city to the termi-
nus at Tybee Island at S38, 600 This
amount inelaoes the building of a brick
pier at Lasaretto creek bridge at cost
of $4,000, and rebuilding the wooden
Tenders at the same place at a cost of
81, 200.
There is very little doubt that the rail
road will be repaired in time for re-
opening 1t early in the spring.

Money or Blood.

Our resident New York buyer is in the
city. He says we have too much clothing
and must reduce same before our annual
inventory, which takes place on Dec. 80.
Therefore, we have inaugurated right in
the hight of the season, one of the great
est sacrificing sales of fine clothing ever
attempted in Savannah. We want money
1t is money or blood. We have guided
ourselves accordingly, by cutting the life
out OF prices. All we ask is an inspection
OF the great reduction we have made. and
II an exchange of money and clothes do
not ensue, all we can say, it will not be
our fault. Remember, the sale is now 90
ing on. Its terms are strictly cash. An

KEEP THEM SCRATCHING.
Hens Must Have Plenty of Exercise to
Law We'll.

Last fall / started in for the winter
season with thirty hens, fifteen being
old and fifteen pullets. Some of these
hens We're quite old. One of them is
seven years old, but She lays an egg
most every day In fact, ! think that
old hens produce the most eggs during
the season. My hens are of the
Plymouth Rock breed. They are kept
in a house "a feet long and l6 feet wide
with yard 60 by so feet In the yard
are three large apple trees, which af
ford abundant shade. The hens are
kept in good working order and not al
lowed TO become fat. as they win not
lay if their food is turned into fat.
Their feed consists of wheat bran or
mixed feed and corn meal. Two quarts
of beans and one quart of corn meal
wet up with hot water with one table
spoonful of salt, and in winter weather
one spoonful of red pepper for break
fast.
! usually put in a small handful of
sulphur once or twice week as well
as the waste from the table. For the
midday meal they are fed two quarts OF
whole oats. This is the time / make
them work. l have wide board put
up eGgewiSe in the center of the hen
house and I put into one side good
thick covering of straw or hay OF S
in ches thick and SOW oats all over the
straw. This they have to scratch for.
In the winter | give a good handful of
rowen and in summer green grass.
They relish this as would q fioch of
sheep. For supper they have two
quarts of whole corn rut in straw the
same as the oats. ] never give meat or
patent hen food. A dust box with coal
ashes and a box OF oyster shells is
placed in a corner, as Is a clean dish
with plenty OF fresh water or milk.
Several neiChbors keep twice as many
hens as DO bu: fail to get more than
half as many eggs. This. | think, is
because they keep the hens too well
fed and do not give them work enough
to keep them healthy Hens must have
exercise TO lay well. This is lny ex-
perience, but others may differ from

This keep the material from the horses
tongue and is soon dissolved when It
reaches the stomach.
IN administering the ball it should
be held between the fingers of the right
hand, the first and fourth fingers being
placed together under the bail and the
second and third fingers placed on the
upper side of the ball. In this manner
the right hand is made to take up as
little room as possible, to render it easy
TO insert in the mouth.
The person administering should
bare the right arm and stand in front
of the horse, little to the right, and
with left hand take hold of the horses
tongue, draw it gently from the mouth,
placing it on that part of the lower
jaw that Is bare. of teeth. 1t is good
precaCtion to place the tongue between
the molar teeth to prevent the horse
closing his mouth and biting the arm
The right hand holding the ball as ex-
planned is now inserted in the horses
mouth as shown in the accompanying
cut. and the ball deposited at the root

1T FOSTERS DISEASE,
why an Unlimited Corr Diet Is Not to
Be Recommended,


PSof. Knapp has proved by expert
men. that an =nliuited diet of maize
is not only wasteful but unwholesome,
and fosters disease. He fed thrifty,
vigorous pig twelve weeks old upon
dry maize and water. Within three
weeks there were indications of fever,
the limbs subsequently became stiff.
the skin dry, the animal extremely
costive. and its appetite bad. During
the fifth week there was great weak
ness in the hind quarter, swelling of
the sheath, retention of the urine, and
costiveness. and the appetite was still
bad He then changed the diet 70
wash and cooked bran, and in three
weeks the animal was apparently well.
johnson says that maize contains IS
per cent of heat-producing substances,
- per cent. of flesh and bone forming
constituents, and Z per cent. of fat
formers: but if maize is valuable. as
containing this amount of ready
formed fat it may be still further en-
HANGED by mixing with heterogeneous
foods, such as beans and peas, be-
cause it then enables the animal to
utilize the whole OF this, which it cam
not do without them.
1t goes without saying that the ma
ture of the feeding largely influences
the quality of the pork The public
taste in the matter of fat, not only in
pork, but in the case of beef and NUT
ton, also has undergone great change
"a much larger proportion of lean is
now demanded. This is not forthcom-
ing when pigs are fed almost entirely
on maize, and although, tc purchase it,
it must be conceded that maize is by
far the cheapest gram. yet it may not
prove economical in the end, because
the pork manufac tured from it viii
realize lower price.
Barley is perhaps OF all o.her grains
the favorite pig food of this country,
and justifably so, because it contains
the required constituents in better bal
anced proportions than does any other
single cereal, but experience has proved
that even here mixed diet is far pref
cradle. Beans, peas, wheat, barley
and maize all ground together form
the best meal, either for growing
or fattening pigs. 1t produces a fine
grained pork, well mixed with lean
During the last few weeks the quanti-
ty of maize may be increased, but dur
ing growth and the early stage of fat
tening it should not be excessive
