THAT DEPOT NUISANCE

Fer some reason, best known to them
selves, bat decidedly at variance with
the views and wishes of the citizens of
Lake Charles, the city fathers have been
decidedly apathetic IN the matter Of
passing certain ordinances regulating
the presanGe and abiding of persons
around at the depots of the railway
composites entering Lake Charles,
There is not day, there is not a time
of arrival of trains that from 90 to 100
men Of absolutely no occupation, and
negFo women Of the lowest STRATA do not
dock to the passenger dspots and ply
their vocation Of either ebstrueting the
walks and approaches to the trains, or
employing their neiarious practices of
oourtesans.
Why is this permitted to go on Why
does the city council, in whom is vested
the right, privilege and authority Of
/ making laws. not take prompt and ae-
tive measures To mt into effect decree
which viii vest the police with the
proper authority 30 clear tae lepets Of
their objectionable surroundings:
Really, strangers arriving in Lake
Charles, must form,a very high and Ia
v0rable opinion of the city when, in aes-
oending from trains, they are confronted
by the scum Of the earth
In other cities, this sort of thing is
not tolerated; why shOald it be conn
tenanced in Lake Charles
Tb"re asa remedy for the evil a heroic
one; let il be applied Tine most im-
| pOrtant part is, afser the decree has gone
out. after the ordinance has been passed.
10 see 10 it thar it is enforced,
/ The delSy has been OF long enough
standing; let steps be taken at unae 10
remedy the evil. and that, without fur
ther preamble.

THE GAME ABANDONED.
Savannah Will Have no Foot Ball
Washington's Birthday.

The much talked of foot ball game be-
tween the Wheelmen and the Forest City
clubs will not take place. The game was
to have been played on Washington
birthday and many lovers of the sport
ere an ticipating a lively match.
The Savannah foot ball eleven is going
to Atlanta on that day, and the stay
at homes had planned to have some good
sport. The main reason why the game
was abandoned, was the inability to get
the men to practice after they had
promised to give their support.
At recent meeting of the Whealman' S
Track Association, several of the men,
bers were very enthusiastic over the pro-
posed game. They evinced desire to get
on the team and willing to go in and work
hard to win. There had been a strong OBJ
lection on the part of some of the mem
bers TO allowing outsiders to use the park,
and Immediately set about to ar
range the game In having a game
composed of members Of the
association they would be instrumental
in having the benefit derived from the
game go direct to their treasury.
The committee in charge of the game
endeavored to get the men to carry out
their promises, but meeting with such
little announcement from those who
promised to assist them the match was
given m

Collector Beckwith to Put a Stop to
Their Work.
Collector Beckwith says that he is de-
termined to put an end to the petty SNUG
Cling, which he is informed is carried on
regularly along the river. He took a trip
down to quarantine with Capt. Laird, the
new boarding officer, and Health OH
Ger Drummer, on the launch Discoverer, to
familiarize himself with the lay
of the land. The party spent few hours
very pleasantly with DR.. j. B. Graham,
the quarantine officer.
Collector Beckwith's information is
that the smuggling is chiefly carried on
by the sailor boarding house runners.
who board the vessels on their way up
the river, after leaving quarantine. The
runners, it is said, do fair business in a
small way by taking off in
bacco, spirits or other Contraban
articles which the sailors have brought
into port with them. The goods are taken
TO the boarding houses, where the sailors
meet the runners. There is no trouble in
disposing of the articles, and the sailors
and the runners divide the profits.
The collector says very liberal induce
ments are offered to informants by the
government. Where information is given
leading TO the capture of contraOand
goods the informant receives %
per cent. of the value of the goods
captured. Where the informant accom-
panies the arresting officer and points out
the goods and smugglers he gets 30 per
cent.
When the goods are of any value it will
be seen that the informant's perquisites
are by no means in considerable. Most

TAKING THE EVIDENCE.
The Savannah and Western Investi-
cation Still Going on.

6ab4Oh sun SOlllE on
The Investigation into the accounts of
the Savannah and Western railroad is
still in progress before the master in
chancerY The hearing was taken up
yes terday at the Central railroad Offices,
on West Broad street
There were present: Messrs.,A tC. King
and Pat Calhoun, representing Simon
Borg, Alexander Brown and other bond
holders; Mr.. b. A. Denmark, for the re-
ceivers of the Savannah and Western A.:
Messrs. LawtOn q Cunningham, for the
receivers of the Central railroad, and
Col George A. Mercer, for the Farmers
Loan and Trust Company.
The inquiry is concerned mainly with
the accounts of the Savannah and West
ern railroad. The Central railroad is en-
deavoring to establish its claim against
the property for about $780, 900 spent on
the property and lost through the opera
ton OF IT, The petition will be heard be-
fore Justice jackson during the early
part Of next month. The contention Of
the bondholders of the road will be that
the Central ought not to recoverauythinC

road and is not entitled To recover for
money spent on its own property The
hearing will be continued TO-DAY.

FERTILIZERS ON THE MOVE.
Savannah Manufacturer Buster Than
They Were Last Year.

Ihey were Last 7 ear.
According TO the reports of the Savan-
nah fertilizer dealers they have done
fully as much business this year as they
did last year, and some of the dealers re-
port that their business has been larger
than 1t was last year.
Several dealers and manufacturers who
We're seen yesterday said that they
had done a larger business than they
did last year up to date. The
business they said, has been
much better than was expected at the be-
ginning of the season, when it was
thought the general depression and the
scarcity OF money would tend to reduce
the amount of business
One reason assigned for the good bust
ness is the open winter, which has en-
aoled the planners to haul the fertilizers
from the railway stations to the farms.
Usually at this season Of the year the
country roads are in bad condition,
and the farmers are fire.
quently delayed in their hauling
until late in the spring The good
weather this season has enabled them to
get IN their stocks earlier than usual.
For this reason it is expected that the
demand will drop of shortly and the
shipping season close earlier than usual

other points, as according TO the reports
received here the manufacturers
at many other points are com
planning of the light demand.
This being the case it would appear that
the large output of the Savannah manu-
facturers cannot be taken as evidence
that the farmers throughout the south
generally are preparing to produce another
heavy cotton crop. The general state of
the country and the inability of the
farmers to buy largely would appear to
be sufficient evidence TO the contrary.

THE BUILDING ORDINANCE
Discussed by a Meeting of Contractor,
and Others Interested.

ana others Interested.
A meeting of contractors, builders and
others interested in the building trades
was held at Architect Eichberg's Office
last night.
The meeting organized by electing Mr..
l.. A. Mccarthy, chairman and A S.
Eichberg, secretary. The chairman OK
planned that the object of the meeting
was to discuss the building ordinance
now before the council, with a view to
Offering such suggestions as will aid in
perfecting it.
The ordinance was read by sections.
and as each section was subjected to a
thorough discussion, very slow progress
was made. Less than one-fourth of the
ordinance had been read up to the time
Of ad lournment. Several improvements
were suggested, and if the revision is car
ried through as it has been begun, Savau-
nah's building ordinance will be more
complete than that of any other city in
the United States
The next meeting will be held at Archi-
tect Eichberg's Office Tuesday, Feb 90 at
clock p. m. 1t Is hoped that insurance
men and others incercs ged in the sub EFT
as well as builders will attend. Those
who attended the meeting are not endeav-
oring 10 make any captious criticism on
the ordinance, but are studying ii with a
view to making such suggestions as in
their opinion will bring il to better state
of perfection.

The story of the Texas maiden, suddenly
