Mayor Myers Differs With Alderman
Gleason.

AAN1NDn.
Mayor Myers does not agree with Alder
man Gleason on the subject Of the TWEEN
ty-year contract with the warren-scharr
Asphalt Company for keeping Broughton
street il repair.
The mayor was a member Of council at
the time the contract was made. and
though not member OF the street and
lane committee at the time was acquaint.
cd with all the details OF the matter.
The great drawback to asphalt pave
ment," said Moyar Myers TO a Morning
News reporter yesterday. ''is the cost OF
maintenance, and FOR that reason DO nor
think we will have much more asphalt
paving The contract in question was
not gone into hastily. but was under cor
sidcratiOn by council Ior six months be-
fore IL was finally gone into. Every ef-
Tort was made 10 secure a cheaper rate
and we found that the rate agreed upUu,
10 cents per square yard per amum, ives
the best that could be done. Il is true
th3t I.oNo looks like a large sum to pay
for keeping a portion of q street in repair
for year, but when ID is considered that
the company VIII probably be called upon
20 resurtace the street as a part of their
contract il viii be seen that there are some
advantages as well as disadvantages to
the contract. If the city undertook 10 re-
pair its asphalt paving itself it would
have TO maintain a plant for the work
with experienced men who understood
the business. The keeping up of the as
phalt payment is likely 10 prove a very
serious cost to the city in the future"
Some Of the aldermen arc in favor OF
paving South Broad street with ebert
and also AbercOrn street from South
Broad to Liberty street with the same ma
terial, for the benefit of the fire depart
ment. The subject viii be brought be-
fore council this fall

RANGE LIGHT TAKEN Down.
The New Channel on Tybee Knoll
Now Unmarked at Night.

The new channel on Tybee knoll was
without range lights last night. The
lights were taken down yesterday by Man
ager Ely Of the Ross dredging Company.
and the channel is now unmarked except
by buoys.
The lights were established several
months ago by the dredging company for
the guidance Of its dredges. which were
working nights before the channsI was
opened. The lights and oil were furnished
by the light house board; the piling was
driven by the dredging company, which
employed keeper and maintained the
lights at its own expense since, while the
dredges were at work nights; it was for
their benefit.
Once established, the range was taken
up by the pilots and steamers entering the
river at night, and has been a part Of the
ranges used in bringing vessels up the
river.
The first Of June the dredging company
stopped its night work, and had no further
use for the lights. The light house board
was SO notified by Manager Ely. who
agreed, however, TO maintain them II COM
pensated for the service. and at the same
time recommended a keeper. The inspect
or replied that the matter had been re-
ferrcd to the board Since then nothing
further has been heard Of it, Mr.. Ely
decided that he was not responsible for
maintaining the lights and they were taken
down yesterday and stored on dredge No.
), at Tybee.
The new channel is now unmarked at
night. In coming up the river vessels first
take up Tybee light; then Bloody Point
light; then Nos. AID l lights. and after
that the Long Island lights. Nos / and 2
lights are those removed.
River men say that the lights are nee
essary to mark the new channel, and un-
less they are re-established at once yes
sells are likely to get cut of the channel
and go ashore
The light house board Is now building
permanent range for the new channel, but
until II has been completed and the lights
put up there will be nothing to mark the
channel ct night.

BROUGHT THE WRONG VERDICT.
The Justice Told the Jury to Go
Back and Guess Again.

The Justice Told the Jury to Go
Back and Guess Again.
An amusing story is told of the trial of a
case in a justice court of one of the coun-
try districts. The case was that of Mary
Williams against Annie McCarr, the ques-
ton at issue being on a distrain warrant
for rent to the amount of SIP. Attorney w.
f. Morrison appeared for the plaintiff and
VIM. Pease, Esq, for the defendant
The jury after hearing ali the evidence
retired and in few minutes brought in a
verdict for the defendant That did not
appear at all satisfactory 10 the Justice
who stated very emphatically TO the Jury;
That amt the kind Of verdict this court
told you to bring in Now you go back to
that room, and If you don't bring in the
proper verdict I'll keep you there twenty
four hours"
The jury retired again and it did not
take long this time for it to reach a verdict
for the plaintiff The other side of the
story puts the joke on the jury, as it is
stated that the first verdict returned was
not at all in accordance with the law or the
evidence.

A LET-UP IN THE WEATHER
Ten Degrees Difference on Yester-

Ten Degrees Difference on Yester-
day From the Day Before.
There was considerable let up in the
weather yesterday. Instead of a temper
allure of Sc degrees as the day before the
highest temperature was 81 degrees. The
average was just exactly the normal
temperature taking the records for TWEEN
ty-four years.
There was a falling off in temperature
all over the state. The highest the mer-
curry went in the Savannah district Of
the weather bureau was "a degrees at Al
bany, Millen and Fort Gaines. Americus
Cordele, Gainesville and Quitman each re-
ported 80 degrees. The average highest
temperature for all the stations in the
district was so degrees. Alapaha which
usually sends in a high temperature, re-
ported only 81 degrees.
Last night ii was almost chilly in Sa-
vannah, the change was so great from the
day before. The indications for to-day are
for thunderstorms and little change in
the temperature either way.

MAY ISSUE BONDs.

The Commissioners Asked to nay
Two Eagles for Forsyth Park.
Few people perhaps have any idea that
Savannah has the reputation of having
menagerie in its park. The county COM
missioners are in possession of the follow
ing letter, which they VIII no doubt act
upon at their next regular meeting.
Jacksonville, Fla, June "a, 1870 the

VIII sell at the small sum Of 50. Yours
respectfully, Walter H. Gourdin.
All of the commissioners are not in the
city and could not, therefore, be seen yes
terday, but it was learned that the board
will likely decide upon the issue of bonds
for the purpose Of purchasing the birds
for Forsyth park.
