Fawcett's six houses We're assessed at
$1,000. He appealed to council and sub
mltted a statement showing that it cost
him only 81 200 for the erection of the
houses. The fact was brought out, how
ever, that the houses were insured for
$4,000. The council finally concluded that
the houses ought to be worth as much as
they were insured for, and sustained the
valuation of the assessment committee.
Several bids were received for the
building of the ballast wharves at quar-
antine, varying from a, 200 to IS, 200. The
bids were referred to the committee ofithe
whole.
Bids were received from Appel &,
SChaul, the Falk Clothing Company and
b. II. Levy Il Bro. for furnishing the
police with summer uniforms The bids
varied widely as to details, and were re
ferred to the police committee for consid-
Grafton.
The petitions of J. F. Guilmartin and j.
II. Elton for remuneration for articles
destroyed by order of the health depart
ment, was adversely reported by the com
mlttee and the report was adopted by
council.
Alderman Mills presided at the meeting,
Mayor McDonOugh having gone down the
river on a trip of inspection of the work
upon the Tybee railroad, and not return
ing to the city in time to attend the meet
ing.

NOT a WISE PLAN.
The Senatorial Nomination Schemt
Does Not Meet With Favor Here.

The Senatorial Nomination Sch eme
Does Not Meet With Favor Here.
The position taken by the MORNING
News in regard to the scheme to have
the state democratic convention nominate
the senator, to be eleJted at the ensuing
term of the legislature, is generally ap-
proved.
Hon. Walter G. Charlton, chairman of
the democratic executive committee of
the county, said yesterday; 1T is a
most eminently perniciOus idea to have
the senator nominated by the convention
l cannot imagine who could have origi-
mated it. A political convention is a
totally irresponsible body, while, on the
other hand, a legislature is a body with
certain well-defined powers, and
one of its duties is the election of sena-
tors. There might not be dozen men in
the legislature who were members of the
convention. Why then should the legis-
lature accept the dictatiOn Of body with
which it has no connection and no SINH
larity. The scheme must have originated
with some weak candidate who thinks he
would have a better showing before the
convention than with the legislature"
The idea to make the nomination in
in the convention is n bad one, 90 said Hon
Thomas NJ. Norwood yesterday. 1T
plan and let the candidates go before the
people and advocate their claims.
Then the representatives of the
legislature could be elected with
an idea to their supporting
a particular candidate. The adoption Of
the proposed plan would cause wrangling
and confusion in the party. The dele
gates to the convention are selected to
nominate a governor, and not senator

nate a man and a legislature be elected
composed of men of totally different views
who might prefer another man entirely
The convention meets IN Augusa and the
legislature is not elected until Two months
later. There might be developments
between the time of meeting of the con
ven ion and the meeting OF the legislature
which would make the nominee of the
convention undesirable 10 the ma ority of
the people and bring ont prominently the
fact that some other candidate was
the general preference. This would
place the legislature in a
most embarrassing position. If the sena-
tors We're elected by the people direct,
as should be the case. It would then be
proper TO have the convention nominate,
but not otherwise"
Capt j. c.. Purse, president of the
board Of trade said:
lit would cost a wrangle in the conven-
ton and be no end of trouble. Nothing
but confusion and disorder would result
from IL, II is not likely that the legisla-
ture would accept the dicta-
ton of the convention any way,
and an unpleasant state Of affairs would
result. 1t is a bad idea"
Hon s. B. Adams, city attorney, said:
1T is a queer idea. I don't think it will
work. Ii is the duty of the legislature to
elect the senator and it should not be
dictated to by the convention"

the day, toward sunset; when, jour

sisting of n thin piece of meat, Is
roasted upon a spit of iron or wood

AT Sea on an Ice Floe.

Recently the llfeboat society ut
Cronstadt received news that toward
the south shore of the Gulf of Finland,
about thirty miles from Cronstadt.
some 200 fishermen and peasants, and
their horses and sleighs, had been
suddenly carried ont to sea on a large
ice foe, which had been detached APP
parently by a recent storm. The ice
cutting boats at Cronstadt we're laid
up for the winter and could not be
used. Twenty sailors, however, with
two officers and assistant surgeons,
were dispatched over the ice with two
llfeboats on runners, and a similar
party started to. the rescue from
Oren enbaum, on the other side Of the
mouth Of the Neva. The latest tele-
grams from CrOnstadt state hat the
fishermen and others have been found
and all rescued by means of a bridge
made Of poles and planks, which were
thrown out from the firm ice. They
had been cut off from the mainland
for at least fortv-eight hours, during
the latter part of which provisions
were passed ove- to them by the in.
habitants Of the nearest shore. -Scien-
