TO CHAN aE THE LONG ROOM.
A Plan for the Remodeling of the City
Council Chamber.

- - ~S14A AZ VIC 4sCAAONAC4AAB Va kho OAby
Council Chamber.
Mr.. F. E. Rebarer, clerk of the city
council, has completed plan for the re-
modelling of the council chamber which
he will submit to council for its approval.
The plan, if adopted, will make quite an
improvement in the appearance of the
room, giving 1t more the appearance of
legislative hall and making it more mod
ern in every way.
The plan does away with the long table
around the which Savannah's local legis-
lators have been seated for generations
past while considering the business of
the city. Instead of the long table, each
alderman is to be given a separate desk.
Should Mr.. Rebarer's plan be adopted
the mayor will occupy raised platform
with desk in front at the west end of the
room, just under the large picture of Gen
Lee. On his right hand and slightly to
the front will be the desk of the clerk of
council, and on his left hand the desk of
the city marshal
just below the clerks desk will be that
of the city attorney, and on the opposite
side OF the room the reporters desk In
front of the mayor will be an open space
into which the aldermen can advance
when debating some important public
question at length Below this space will
be the twelve desks for the aldermen, ar
ranged six on each side of an aisle in dou-
BILE rows of two each. An ornamental rail-
ing will separate the desks of the aldermen
from the portion of the room reserved
for spectators. Instead of the present
open space which now compels the
greater portion of the spectators to stand
while attending the meetings of council,
the space will be occupied by rows of
opera chairs seating about 100 persons.
A remodeling of the council chamber,
so as to give it a more modern appear
ance, was recommended by Mayor Nc
Donough in his annual report. The plan
suggested by Mr.. Rebarer, if adopted,
can be carried out at comparatively low
cost, and will greatly improve the appear
ance of the council chamber.

MAI. BATE ON WEATHER.
The Inspector Pays the Savannah
Bureau a Visit.

DAACo0 q v ASAbs
Maj. H. c. Bate, inspector of the
United States weather bureau service. is
in the city on visit to the Savannah
station. He has been making a tour of
the coast stations from Norfolk down to
Savannah, and will leave this city to-
morrow for Pensacola.
Il have found it pretty hot at all the
coast stations, Maj. Bate said yesterday
to a representative of the MORNING
News. Tho people of Charleston said
yesterday that that was one time they
could give me a warm reception. I find
everything in good condition at all the
coast stations. They are as well equipped
and manned as any stations in the coun-
try, and they are supplied with good
observers and watchful men, who are
looking out for the interests of the public
"The public appreciation of the weather
service has grown rapidly since l was
down this way about two years ago.
The people have more confidence in it's
work. The observers, as a rule are more
experienced, and are better able to give
reliable information as to the state of the
weather. II is very gratifying to be
the representative of a service which is
so highly appreciated. and which comes
so closely in touch with the people. They
regard it now as a necessity and they
look TO it for warnings.
The service has proven Of immense
value, especially on the coast. in the
saving of lives and property. 1t has re
suited, too, in the saving Of much prop
erty in the interior where the agricul-
tural interests are concerned, in giving
frost and cold wave warnings. | have
heard of number of instances on this
trip where large amounts of property
were saved by these timely warnings.
Gov. Carr told me while / was in North
Carolina that an immense amount Of
property in the shape of growing crops
had been saved in the eastern part of the
state through the instrumentality of this
service.
The people around Charleston and Sa-
vannah, especially, pay much attention
to the statements furnished by the bu-
reau. The service has come to be so close
to the people and so popular that congress
will give it most anything it asks for
Very few, if any, congressman will put
themselves on record as opposing any
thing looking to the advancement of the
weather service. The press is undoubt-
eddy the great right-hand lever of the
service, and without it the bureau would
be able to accomplish very little in the
way OF the dissemination of reports"

most Of them, Mr.. Harmon SAYS, expert
cotton boosters, and they handle the
screws as If they had been there before.
Most Of the men were at work on the
forward hold Of the vessel, and it seemed
to be filing rapidly The vessel is
alongside Duckworth Turner Il Co. S
wharf, lust below the Ocean Steamship
wharves. She is OF 2.17g tons register,
and last year carried about 5000 bales Of
cotton. On account Of her accident near
the Bahamas some months ago however.
some of the room in the hold has been
taken up in bracing the sides, and it will
hardly be possible TO get that amount of
cotton into her No estimate at present
could be given with any degree Of Ger
tainty. but ii is likely that she will carry
about 5000 bales. She is due to
sail for Barcelona within twenty-five
days time. From Barcelona she goes to
Genoa. No work is being done at present
on the Enrique, which is lying near the
Berenguer ell Grande. Mr. Harmon SAYS
he will begin loading that vessel just as
soon as he can get the cotton for it, which
ii is expected will be within a few days

gineer, read his monthly report, which
was detailed account Of the work done
by the county forces. and stated that
since Aug. ] there had been nine attempts
at escape from the several camps,
and seven Of the convicts had been re
captured. He adds: None Of the recap
lures were effected by the detectives. -
He refers, of course, 10 the nine convicts
who attempted escape during the month
of August. This will likely put the de-
tectives on their mettle and it may be,
some of them will shortly be heard from

Mr. ID. s. Gardner appeared before the
board and asked that the county defray
the expenses of bringing back to Savan-
nah from Albany, Ga, a negro who
robbed him of $40. The money was given
the negro by Mr.. Gardner to deposit in
the bank. But neither the money nor the
negro was heard from until the report

and the commissioners declined to appoint
an arbitrator in the matter. The parties
at interest claim that the land is worth
500, while it is said they paid for it only
about fourth of that amount. The com
