The Morning News suggested a couple
Of weeks ago that the city bring down
car load Of hematite 90 be found on the
line OF the Savannah and Western rail-
way. and experiment with il as material
for street paving. The Central railroad
offered TO bring one or TWO car loads free
Of charge. For some reason or other the
city authorities have declined to take adj
vantage Of this offer some one who
knows nothing about the henlatite in ques-
zion expressed the opinion that it wouldn't
answer for street paving purposes. That
seems TO have settled the matter in the
minds Of the city authorities.
The chairman OF the street and lane
committee, however has found "A material
close to the city which he thinks is the
same as hematite, and he has had load
OF II brought 10 the city. He proposes to
put It in places on Bay treet and see
whether it will answer for paving pur-
poses. The understanding. seems to be
that n II does not answer the conclusion

Morning News called attic ation is worth
But the test will not he by any means
conclusive against hema lite. This mate
rial which the chairman IF the street and

and which he proposes 70 experiment with,
is pronounced by IN expert TO be only COM
mon bog iron. Il contains about Is per
cent. Of iron and tho balance is sand and
vegetable matter. Tae proba bilities are
that II is totally unit for paving. It will
be quickly crushed to powder, and in wet
weather viii be sim oily mud.
The hematite to which the Morning News
called attention con, aims about AZ per cent.
Of iron, Is found in mail pebbles, and Is in
a matrix OF clay There is ground for
thinking it would ma Ike a very good paving
material. At least il would cost very little
to give it a trial II would cost the city 50
or 81 to pay the fare Of a man TO the locality
where the material is to be found and the
railroad would haul IL for nothing. 1t
might also cost somefhing to load it. To
get car load Of IL down here would cost
little more probably than it cost the city
to, bring the cart load of bog iron into the
city-a material that is likely to prove
worthless. The city aw horities, however.
are tse ones TO say whether or not they
want to make experiment S. but they should
know that bog iron is nog hematite.
IL is stated that Greene street, one of the
principal streets of Augusta, is paved with
homatte. and the city authorities can
readily determine the availability of the
material for use here by an investigation
of its use in Augusta

COL. w. w. GoRDoN's VIEWS.
The Returning Prosperity Death
Blow to silver Arguments.

Blow to silver Arguments.
Col. w. w. Gordon returned to the city
yesterday from a business trip to New
York city. He went to New York after
leaving Memphis. where he went as one of
Savannah's delegates 10 the sound money
convention held there last week.
Col. Gordon said when asked about the
convention that he had read the interview
of Capt. Charles S. Ellis in the Morning
News. and indorsed all that he had said on
the subject
The attendance at the convention" he
said, was more than twice as great as l
expected, and it was made up of intelligent
men. The convention, as a whole was en-
tirely harmonious, though there were some
little differences of opinion among indi-
viduals. The Georgia delegation, for in
stance. wanted a little stronger resolution
in favor of the removal of the tax on state
banks. than was afterward adopted.
THE main object of the convention. how
ever, was to protest against any such doc
trine as the free coinage of silver at a
ratio OF 16 to l. The feeling of everybody
was that the silver people have been so
outspoken that IL was necessary for those
who do not agree with them to reply and
show the country that the silver people
have not so strong a following as they
are trying to make it appear. There is
good deal of sentiment to be overcome, and
the work will have to be carried on along
that line. 1t was the general opinion that
no such thing as the bald proposition of
free silver coinage at the ratio of Is to l
can ever be carried out. Any such issue
as that will have to be voted down.
The feeling among all was that now is
a much better time to make the fight than
would have been the case some months
ago, because the returning prosperity of
the country is every day breaking down the
argument that low prices are due to a
lack of silver coinage. When people are
prosperous they are very much more care
full about accepting a proposition where
there is so much uncertainty about the re-
suit. no matter what may be promised"

charging them with manslaughter for the
killing of Elijah Keebler on May q.
The warrants were sworn out by Dan
Henderson, colored, one of the witnesses
at the coroneFs inquest. They were
placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff
Charles Goldman, who arrested the two
policemen and took them before Justice
Sheftall They gave bond and were re-
leased. At the request of Mr.. w. W. Os-
borne, counsel for the accused Justice
Sheftall set the preliminary hearing for
10 o'clock tomorrow morning before
bench of magistrates. The bench will be
composed of Justices Wiekham, Naugh-
tin and Sheftall.
1t Is difficult to understand why a war
rant for manslaughter should be issued
against the two policemen when they are
already under bond from the coroner to
appear before the superior court on the
same charge.
