IT FORMS A MONOLITH.
why the Porous Florida Stone Is
Used in the River Jetty Work.

why the Porous Florida Stone Is
Used in the River Jetty Work.
There has been some inquiry as to why
the stone from the Florida quarries is
being used in the jetty work on the river.
instead of the heavier stone from Co
lumbia or the north. This is the stone
known in engineering vernacular as rip
rap stone, and is used in large quantities
to sink mattresses made of brush fascines,
and in other ways in building the jetties
and training walls
Capt. O. NJ. Carter was asked yesterday
why the Florida stone is being used. He
replied that the porous Florida stone is
quickly covered with a shell growth, and
the entire training wall is made practically
a monolith, whereas the smooth granite
can easily be dislodged after remaining
many months in the work.
This Florida stone has been in use in
the jetty work for sometime now, and is
giving most satisfactory results. The
shell growth forms very soon in the brack-
ish water, and a solid wall is the result.
The Florida stone, moreover, being lighter
Capt Carter says, does not cause so much
settlement. and can be used more econom-
ically by the government than the heavier
stone

WANT sAvANNAHs MILITARY.
An Invitation to Attend the Memphis
Encampment.


Col. l. f. Peters of Memphis, comman-
der of the Second regiment Of the Ten
nessee National Guard, is in the city in
the interest of an interstate military drill
and encampment to be held at Memphis
May II to 21. Col. Peters is general mana
ger of the encampment, and is now on a
tour OF the southeast in the interest Of the
AFFAIR. He will also canvass the west ana
north after leaving this section.
Col. Peters Informed a morning News
reporter last night that prizes to the
amount of Sl750O will be offered at the
encampment. Among the special features
Will be drills by classes in the three obso-
lete tactics, Hardee's, Upton's and Ca
sey's.
The drill is under the auspices OF the
veteran Chickasaw Guards and a COM
pany OF confederate veterans. 1t will be
the largest affair of the kind held in the
south this year. Companies from all over
the country have promised to attend
and companies of infantry, artillery and
cavalry from the United States army will
also be present. Two companies from At
lanta and two from Macon have promised
to attend
Col Peters is very anxious that Savan-
nah should be represented at the encamp-

state encampment he is in hopes of secur.

A ROAD NEEDS IMPROVING.
why the Louisville Road Is i'm Bad
Condition.

Why the Louisville Road Is i'm Bad
Condition.
The Louisville road especially that part
of it between the Ogeechee canal and Mus
grove creek, is an almost impossible quag-
mire There is no reason why it should be
so, except that the people sleep on their
rights. 1t could be easily put in order and
kept in order If the city authorities would
take hold of the matter. The road could
be graded and drained at very little out
lay.
The main cause of the road being in its
present condition is that il is used in
part as a dumping place for fire wood by
the Central railroad The barks and chips
from the wood fill the road and keep in it
lumpy condition in dry weather and Doggy
in wet weather.
1t is within the province of the city to
put a stop to this and confine the rail-
road to the use of its rights for discharg-
ing wood
The Louisville road is the highway over
which the cart and wagon trade of the
adjoining counties come to the city and
over which a large portion of the truck
grown in the suburbs finds its way to the
wharVes and railroads, and to town GUS
toners, and 1t is to the interest of the
business community that it should be put
in condition to encourage people to come
to the city, instead of being a drawback
to business, as we'll as detrimental to the
development of the city.

1t Takes n Practical Lesson in GeOg-
raphy.
The March meeting of the Board of Pub
lie Education last night was made more
than usually interesting by an informal
discourse in geography.
The members of the board as a rule,
do not take kindly to talks by parties
who have books, maps, desks, or other
school paraphernalia to sell, but they
were agreeably disappointed last night.
and listened with pleasure to what Mr.. +.
J. Albrecht had to say about "Pohtico-Re-
lief Maps" and incidently to a short les
son in geography and the effect that
elevations and depressions of the earth's
surface had upon its inhabitants.
There was very full meeting: Col.
Mercer, President; DR.. Reed, Vice Pres
ident, and Messrs. Denmark, Charlton,
Herman Myers. Blum, Tattnall, Lee Roy
Myers, Estill, Saussy and O'Byrne being
present. Mayor Myers attended for the
first time as an eX-officio member of the
board.
The minutes of the last meeting and
the reports of committees were read and
disposed of.
Supt Baker in his report stated that
there had been a marked Improvement
in the behavior of a number of boys since
the action of the board at its last meet
ing.
Mr. Denmark called attention to the
presentment of the last grand jury in re-
gard to the Chatham Academy building
on motion of Mr.. Denmark Supt. Baker
was instructed to prepare a statement
showing what school buildings used for
| public school purposes are owned by the
| county and what are not, and also the
amount expended on improving buildings.
The finance committee was requested
to prepare a budget of expenses for the
! ensuings scholastic year for presentation
! TO the grand jury of the April term.
After disposing of routine business Mr..

BRINGING A GOOD PRICE.
spirits TurDentine Higher Than 1t
Has Been for Three Years.

The price Of spirits turpentine has been
steadily advancing during the past ten
days and is now selling at "a cents gal
Ion. This price has not been reached
since March, 1892. In the meantime the
prices averaged about q cents a gallon.
and at one time the product was sold as
low % cents.
The receipts for the last month have
been very light, and as the continued cold
ana wet weather here retarded the flow
Of the crude turpentine from the trees, it
is probable that the new crop will not
begin to come to market for several
weeks.
II Is expected that when the weather set
ties and becomes warmer, the business
will open up in earnest, and operators
VIII be kept busy dipping the virgin tUr-
pentine and distilling it,
There is every indication that the price
VIII mold up TO fair average for the
seasons crop. Exporters have already
been bidding IS cents for summer de-
lveries, which is a better price than
they have offered during the past two
years.
The visible supply is smaller than il
has been for several years, and is added
10 by very small daily receipts. The to-
tai stocks OF the world at present is
2fsS casks, against 55,427 casks at the
same time last year. London mas a
stock Of 1900 casks, against 1900 casks
last year. Savannah. 1895 casks, against
1,l05 last year; New York, 1854 casks
against 2,ls2 last year; Wilmington, 1,1a
casks, against 2,135 last year and New
orleans, SIS casks, against 405 last year
In addition to this there are 3. l49 casks
ahoat for London, on a vessel which
sailed from this port last December and
has not yet arrived.
The steamship Iris is here loading with
naval stores for Europe She has a ca
pacity for 5000 casks of spirits turpentine

Al THE THEATER.
saIvini Tonight in Hugo's Master
piece, "Ruy Bias"


piece, "Ruy Bias"
Salvini will be seen tonight in Ruy
Bias. The advance sale of seats for his
engagement has been such as to demon
strate that Savannah is well able to hold
its own as a generous patron of the higher
drama
Theater-goers have selected Salvini as
favorite, and his coming is naturally
looked upon as one of the events of the
season. Although his fame has been en-
HANGED from the fact that he is the only
actor of his day who has been able to
thoroughly arouse in the audiences of the
period an enthusiastic regard for the SEN
timents of old-time romance, ale is by no
means confined to these limits. He is not
an actor of one part, but of many parts
AS a comedian or a tragedian he seems to
be equally at home; unlike most of the
greater actors, he has no pronounced man
nerisms, but, like the great artists of
France. he is able to lose all self con-
seriousness and sink his identity in the
role he portrays
time in this city, in Victor Hugos great
masterpiece, Ruy Bias. The Three
Guardsmen, which win be the bill to-mor-
row evening, has been already presented
here by Saivini, but not with the scenic
effects which he now carries for this popu-
lar play, or with the brilliant artists that
are now to be found in his supporting
company.

The indications are that the weather will
be good to-day. If it is the Senators and

may be looked for. Each team will put
up its best battery, while the rest of the

expense, and the fans ought to encourage
them by turning out in full force.
