Yesterday morning M Of the most
horrible of cases was brought to the at
tention of the mayor. Anna Ames and
her father, Jacob Myers, were. charged
with keeping a house of i'll fame. Thu
persons arrested, besides these two,
were Lizzie Myers and Anna Shoe
maker.
The woman, Anna Ames, has a hus-
band and three children, the oldest g
years. When the officers went into the
house they found the children huddled
on the floor beside the stove. Squahd
misery and filth were dominant and the
little mes poorly clothed, had no bed or
bed clothing to keep them warm. Anna
Ames was held for court, and failing to
get the $500 bail required was sent to
jail.
Her father was permitted to 60 on
his own recOgnizance. His other daugh-
ter, Lizzie Meyers, and the woman,
Shoemaker, wer fined $25 each, which
they were unable to pay and they were
sent up.
The Humane society took charge of
the children and will provide for them.

mittees on drainage and roads of the

ance of the work Of drainage and the

sentiments.
The recommendations were forcibly Ite-
scented and copies of the reports of the
committees or roads and drainage and Of
the general presentments were submitted
The grand jury IS giving the matter or
public improvements careful attention,
and II is expected that its recommended
lions will be in line with those of the
last grand Jury and those which have pre-
coded IT,
The county commissioners have already
approved several Of the recommendations
Of the March term jury. The securing Of
the Ogeechee canal for drainage purposes,
while il can be secured. is an important
matter, and ii is believed it will be ac-
complished without much trouble.
The recommendation for an issue of
county bonds for the creation of a board
of public works and for the better uth-
cation of the convict labor are matters
v hich are before the grand jury and con-
corning which its recommendations win

A LETTER FROM THE ROCKIES.

The Teachers Enjoying Themselves
in Colorado and Utah.
The Savannah excursionists who are
taking in the far west left Denver Mon
day for Salt Lake City, or most Of them
did. A few took in Colorado Springs ana
Pixies Peak instead of the city of Nor
mondom.
Some idea Of the number of people who
attended the educational convention can
be had when it took eight trains to car
ry a part of them from Denver to Salt
Lake City. Prof. Ashmore conducted tho
Georgia party to Utah, and from there.
with a party of six, went on TO San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles, where they win
spend several weeks.
Writing of the trip to a friend he said:
1T has been most enjoyable one, AMI
all of our party are delighted with the
boundless plains and the snow-covered
peaks of the Rockies. Where / am writing
the thermometer stands at So degrees,
while up in the mountains which encircle
the city lie acres on acres of dazzling
snow in fun view. The trip is full of
the widest grandeur and strange ex-
periences."
While i'll California Prof. Ashmore will
visit the Lick observatory.
The attendance at the educational asso-
citation meetings. Prof. Ashmore says, was
the largest known.
