TO STOP USING SHELLS.
ebert to Be Tried for Street Paving
Now

The work Of replacing the shell pave
ment on jefferson street from Charlton
to Anderson with Belgian block will
begin as soon as the material for the work
can be obtained This is an improvement
which will give general satisfaction, both
10 the residents of jefferson street and to
the large number Of people who traverse
that thoroughfare every day.
The cost OF the new pavement will be
very slight 10 the property owners on the
street. The usual proportion of the cost
Of the work will be assessed against the
aouttlng property owners, but the amount
OF the assessments previously paid for the
shell paving will be deducted from the
second assessments, which will tend to
considerably reduce the cost to property
owners.
As the curbing is already in place and
the street is at the proper grade, 1t will
only be necessary to scrape off what is
left OF the shells and lay down the new
paving. This will make the cost com
paratively light to the city
The experience of the city with Jeffer-
son street has proven very cOnclusively
that shell pavements will not do on streets
where there is a heavy traffic. In fact,
the shell pavements are not giving great
satisfaction anywhere just now, even on
the residence streets. They soon begin
10 wear out and require constant repair
ing after the first year. 1t is not proba-
bic that any more shell pavements will be
put down in Savannah soon. ebert is re-
garded as the coming material for cheap
paving, and it is likely that it will be
given trial by the city soon.
The piece of ebert pavement put down
by the Central railroad on New street
has stood the wear and tear of the heavy
traffic to which it has been sub .ected re-
markably well. The pavement has given
away in places next to the warehouse
wall, but this is the fault of the founda-
tion and not of the material of which the
pavement is composed Both Mayor Nc
Donough and Col. Winn, city engineer,
are favorably impressed with the desra-
blllty of ebert as paving material and
are anxious to give it a trial Col. Winn
has recently received communications
from engineers of other cities, in which
ebert Is in use as a paving material,
strongly endorsing it,
Mayor McDonough desires to have
Gwinnett street from jefferson street
west to the water works paved with ebert
this year. 1t was contemplated paving
Gwinnett street with shell two years ago,
but as the water works were under con-
struction at that time, and it was neces-
sary TO tear up the street in order to lay
the main, the question of paving was
postponed for the time. GwinnetJ is the
only street in the city that runs entirely
across the city east and west from one
limit TO the other, and if it were paved
entirely across the city would make one
OF the handsomest driveways to be found
anywhere

The Coroner's Jury Attempts to Say
Massey Fired the Fatal Shot.

Massey Fired the Fatal Shot.
Charleston, S. c., Feb. 5.-A special to
the News and Courier from Spartanburg,
S. c., says: "The coroner's jury in the
dispensary killing near Wexford reached
a verdict to-day. The first jury drawn
was quashed at the suggestion of Sheriff
Dean because the father aud some of the
kindred of Boyce Dean, his deputy. were
on it. A new jury, very good one, was
selected. They rendered the following YER
dict, which is singular in its phraseology:
We, the coroner's jury, agree that the de-
ceased, Crawford Ballew, came to his
death on Feb. 81, 1894 by gun shot
wound in the hands of F. G. Massey,
while resisting officers of the law"
With this verdict Coroner Pollard was
in doubt as to his duty as to Massey,
finally he decided to commit
him to the Jail and await in
structions from the solicitor. So Massey
was arrested this afternoon and turned
owe" to Sheriff Dean. 1t will be two or
three days before Solicitor Schumpert can
be heard from. If he decides that Massey
should be held under arrest, then applica-
ton will be made before Judge for bail,
which will be easily secured"

a STRIKE AT BRUNSWICK.
The Longshoremen and Knights of
Labor in the Fight.


Brunswick Ga, Feb. 5.--There is a
disagreement between the Colored Long
shoremen's Union and the Knights of
Labor, acting as one organization, and
the Brunswick stevedores. which has re
suited in strike that threatens to be a
long one. The Longshoremen's Union
numbers about 400 laboring men, who de-
rive their support from work along the
wharf loading and unloading vessels. 1t
is well organized and has recently insti-
tuted scale of wages, varying from "a
per day for posses of gangs"
to $3.50 per day for ordinary loborers.
The colored Knights of Labor, another
organization here, ratified the scale
established by the longshoremen. The
stevedores instituted a vigorous protest
against the rates of wages demanded,
claiming that they are exorbitant. The
laborers, however, bound by the action of
their orders, maintain their ultimatum,
and declare that they will not accept any
reduction. The stevedores are abso-
lutely dependent, in loading vessels, upon
the members of these organi ations,
which comprise al bout three-fourths of tho
colored laboring class in Brunswick.

Frank NJ. Scarlett, wealthy and re-
spected citizen of Glynn county, had
killed j. Keene, of Wayne County. has

to save his own life Scarlett struck him
with a quart bottle, which happened to
be the only weapon at hand. Keene was
killed almost instantly. He was known
as a desperate man, and had been in many
serious diihculJies during his life Scar

Keene was drunk and probably mistaking

the attack on him. Scarlett sought to
avoid a dihculty, but Keene persisted
and left him no other alternative but to
defend himself. Scarlett says he regrets
the a, air very much, but it was unavoid-
a BILE on his part.
