HEPATITE FOR PAVING.
Mr.. Warrand Says There are 0uanti-
ties of it in Tattnau.

While the city fathers are looking
about for some material for paving the
streets more reliable than ebert or shells
and not so costly as Belgian blocks or as
phalt, they might do well to consider a
suggestion from Mr.. c. B. Warrand. Mr..
Warrand is thoroughly familiar with the
resources Of this section, perhaps more so
than any other citizen of Savannah.
Mr.. Warrand informs the MORNING
News that in Tattnan county, about
thirty-ive or forty miles from Savannah,
the Savannah and Western railroad
runs through immense beds of hepatite
a low grade iron ore. Mr. Warrand has
examined these beds and found them
practically inexhaustible. lin fact" he
says 1.-THE material thrown out in the cuts
along the railroad would be sufficient to
pave half the streets of Savannah"
"Hepatite," said Mr.. Warrand ICON
tains Al 7-l0 per cent of metallic iron, and
is of heavy specific gravity. tits a con
g!omeration of clay and nodules ofiron ore
The roads in Taunall county running
over this material, are the best have
seen in Georgia. They are smooth and
hard, free from dust aud mud, and never
wash on account of the heavy specific
gravity Of the material. II is no doubt
much superior to ebert, as the nodules Of
ebert consists Of quartz while the nodules
of hepaJite are iron ore. Crushed quartz
becomes sand, while crushed hepatite
nodules are still iron ore
These hepatite banks along the Sa-
vannah and Western railroad are com
posed Of different grades of nodules
Some are nearly all pebbles, with clay or
sand, while others have fewer and
smaller pebbles. II is, however, highly
probable that upon close examination,
immense bodies Of such material will be
found that will exactly suit for paving
purposes. The material can be laid down
IN Savannah for one'half the cost Of oys-
ter shells"

Aldermen Myers, Wells, Bohan, Mills and

called for as TO the most desirable plan
for districting the city. Under
the law there must not be less

800 voters to each district. II is likely
that the majority of the districts will be
run east and west across the city so as
to locate as many of the polling places on

The damage suit of J. J. Waller against
the Savannah Florida and Western rail
road in which the plaintiff by his next
friend, his father, G. w. Waller, asks
SO, 900 for the loss of a leg, occupied the
time of the city court yesterday.
The proceedings were begun by the en-
tering of an order oveITuling demurrer
to the suit filed by MIR VS.. Chisholm at
torney for the defendant. The taking of
testimony was then begun. When the
plaintiffs evidence was all in, the
defense moved for a non-suit, claim
ing that the testimony offered did not
prove the allegations in the petition
Judge MacDonell also overruled the mo-
tion for non-suit. The testimony in be-
half of the defense was then taken, being
concluded at the hour of adjournment
last night. The arguments in the case
will be made this morning, Mr. w. w.
Gordon, Jr., appearing for the plaintiff
and Mr.. w. S. Chisholm for the defense.

Shot For Going Back to Work.

Ocala. Fla, Feb 2O,-Word was sent
Sheriff Hodge this morning from Anthony
to look out for several murderous Ital-
ians who had shot several of their coun-
trymen at the Fren Phosphate mines
1t appears that the Italians at the mine s
struck for more pay. After the strike
such strong arguments were used on the
strikers that part Of them favored going
TO work again, while the others protested.
This led to several of those going to work
being shot. The Phosphate Company

are making every effort TO capture the
shooters.

TIRED OF ABsENTEEIsM.
Members Who Stick to Their Post t.
Apply a Heroic Remedy.


. Washington, Feb. 20.-There is a very
strong feeling among the democratic rep
resentatives here against those democrats
who are absent without sufficient cause,
and also against those who are present
and refuse to vote to make a quorum
So strong is this feeling that
1t amounts in many cases to indig-
nation. The failure uof the large
democratic majority to furnish a quorum
has caused this feeling to grow steadily.
until it has now well nigh reached culmi-
nation. The members VINO are present all
the time are growing more and more I'M
willing TO tolerate unnecessary absence
on the part of others. Still less are they
willing to patiently endure the conduct of
those who are present but refuse to vote
because they happen to be opposed to the
pending measure.
RADICAL REMEDY PROBABLE.
1t need surprise no one if some means,
and very radical ones, too, should be
adopted to remedy these two evils Just
what can be done is hard to decide Some
members have given considerable thought
to the subject, and they say it is not easy
to find means of prevention that will be
ethcocious Imposing fine for refusal to
vote on a roll call has beet seriously con-
sldered. The objection urged against this is
that offending members would be too
readily excused by a vote of the House on
the motion of good natured member. A
provision might be made in the rules,
however, which would prevent the
Speaker from entertaining a motion to
excuse a member who may be
found guilty Of such an otfense.
1t looks very much like something
will be done very soon to remedy these
evils.

A HITCH OVER THE TARIFF.
Several Schedules Remain to Be Fin

ally Disposed or.
Washington, Feb. 2O.-There was no
meeting of the Senate committee on fl
nance this morning and the tariff bill was
not before the full committee, as Chair
man Voorhees, pred a week ago
When asked when he thought the bill
would be completed, Mr. Voorhees, de-
{ but said it n'4 Would be p'I pus6ed
along as fast as possible. 1t is under
stood that very serious hitch occurred
in the deliberations of the democratic
members in Senator Voorhees, room yes
terday. Sugar is not the only stumbling
block for, according to member of the
committee, no arrangement has been
reached on the coal, paper and fax SEIZED
ules, lead ore, etc. 1t was thought that
coal had been finally fixed at 30 per cent,
but this morning it was said that that
had been set aside, and this article again
appears on the free list.
The democratic members of the nom
mittee met for an hour this afternoon in
the room of Chairman Voorhees, but
when they had adjourned one of them
said that they had accomplished nothing
in the way of settling the differences that
existed in certain schedules. Work will
be resumed again early tomorrow morn
ing.
THE TOBACCO SCHEDULE.
There has been great deal of pressure
brought to bear upon the committee to
make a change IN the internal revenue
feature of the bill, which now permits
the sale of manufactured leaf tobacco
free, whereas the tax on the manufactured
tobacco is 3 cents pound. 1t has been
shown to the committee that during the
last year the falling off in revenue from
M oct tOh tod al CT
So 000,0 600, caused entirely by the free, sale
of leaf. The product of the manufacturers
hiss decreased upwards of 40, 600, 900 pounds
and the manufacturers are asking the
committee to either put the tax on the
manufactured article, or restrict the
tradeso that they will not be interiered
with Inasmuch as this free trade in
tobacco operates to the advantage of the
farmer, there is a dislike on the part of
the committee to put tax on it, but it is
likely that the trade will be restricted to
the farmer or producer alone, and that
when it comes into the hands of the
dealer the tax will be assessed.
CARLIsLE's PREFERENCE.
While the manufacturers are not taking
any special interest in the proposed
tax on manufactured product, it is
said that the treasury department
would like to see the tax increased, as
that would bring in Immediately ready
money.
Secretary Carlisle sought to have the
House committee it is said increase the
tax on manufactured tobacco. but it was
not done and IL is now said that he has
made a similar effort in the Senate, but
there appears to be dissemination on the
part Of the Senate committee to advance
this tax. So far as the manufacturers
are cOncerned-and there were many of
them at the capitol to.day-they say that
an increased tax simply means an en-
HANGED cost to the consumer, and matters
nothing to the manufacturer. The effort
to have the tax increased has not, how
ever, ceased.

man-at-Large by a Large Plurality.
Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 2O.-Pennsyl-
vania to-day voted for a congressman-at
large TO serve the unexpired term in the
present congress. of Gen. William Lilly,
rep, who died Dec. /, 1898. This date
was fixed upon by the governor for the
special election, for the reason that this
was the day for the regular spring cleo
lions in the various cities and towns for
municipal and borough officers. The can
didates are: Republican, Galusha A.
Grow; democrat, James Denton Hancock
pennsylvania Democracy Arthur ID.
Markley Peoples, Victor a. Lapicr; pro-
hibition, Henry f. Morrow
After the adjournment of the regular
democratic state convention which nomi-
mated Hancock, the anti-Harrity and anti
Pattison democrats claimed that the con-
ventioh was irregular and illegal and
they placed Markley's name before the
people for congressman-at-large under
the party title of the "Pennsyl vania de-
mOCracy."
EFFORTS TO HARMONGzE.
Recently efforts have been made,
through the mediation of William NJ.
Singerly, TO harmonic the two demo-
cratic factions. On Friday last. as the
result of conference between Mr. Sin
gerly and the leaders Of the Pennsylvania
democracy, the latter announced the
withdrawal of their candidate, Markley
Harrity, however, with other party
leaders, has since repudiated the terms of
the compromise
Ballots with Markley's name included
had been distributed before the agree
ment of a compromise was Cousummated,
and all the candidates, as named above,
were, therefore, in the hands of the
voters to-day.
The weather throughout the state was
bright and pleasant. Returns from
twelve counties mot including the larger
counties Of Philadelphia and Allegheny
show net gain for Grow, rep, for con
with the vote of 1892. when Lilly, rep,
had plurality of 63, S43
The returns are coming in slowly, but
the indications point to n heavier vote
than was cast last fall for state treasurer
and justice of the supreme court, when
the republican plurality was l35, l45. In
Philadelphia nearly every ward thus far
heard from shows republican gains, and
if the ratio of increase is maintained the
republican plurality in the city will be
nearly 10000, an increase of more than
1000 over last fall
In the country districts the democrats
are gaining somewhat. II is however,
safe to say that Grow has plurality
above 100000.
