Godbold which the latter did not like. and

young men. Five of them were required

Messrs. Rackles and Walz. the sculptors

a. Brandt. contractors on the new public
building, are busily engaged at present in
making the full size models Of all the stone
carving work that is to be done on the
building. They have made eight or ten of
these models and are doing some very ex-
cellent work.
There are in all about 1875
different pieces to be made since
terra Gotta and brick have been
discarded for marble, and the govern
ment requires that fun size models of each
piece shall be made and submitted to the
department for inspection and approval
This is either done by having each of the
models photographed, and the photographs
sent on TO Washington, or an inspector is
sent out to examine and pass upon them
The models are first made in clay and
then cast in plaster of paris. The new
building it is said, will have more elabor-
ate carving than any of its kind in the
south. The government has allowed the
contractors $3.50 additional to the amount
called for in the contract for the purpose
of making these models which It insists on

BLACKS TO PLAY BLUES.
The Y. NJ. G. A. Indoor Ball Teams to
Tackle Again

Tackle Again.
The last game of indoor base ball play
ed by the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton teams a few weeks ago at the Young
Mems Christian Association rooms was
won by the Blacks after a hard fought
battle by a score of 4 to 3. Since that game
the Blues have strengthened their playing
and are confident of getting even with
the Blacks Thursday night. The batteries
for the two teams are: For the Blacks
Fordham and Jordan, and for the Blues
Davis and Johnson. It has been thought
best not to invite the ladies to these games
until the weather becomes a little cooler.
AS so many inquiries have been made
about the game it might not be amiss to
explain 1t for the benefit of those who have
never witnessed It. The game was invented
IN Omcago few years ago and in the
north, and particularly the northwest il
mas become very popular. The ball used is
nearly twice the size of the ordinary base
pail and is made by Spaulding The bat is
much smaller than the regular bat The
bases are q feet apart ana the pitcher :
box % feet from home plate Nine men
pay on a side, but instead Of a center
nelder, there are two short stops. a right
ana a left who play about fifteen feet from
the batter. Another difference is that the
players In running from one base to an
other cannot do so until the ball that has
Deen pitched goes as far as the catcher.

Condition.
Little Dawson Haylow. the 12-year old
son Of Mr.. W. J. Haylow, master Of
transportation OF the Plant System. is ly-
ing at the point of death at his father 5
home at Habersham and Jones streets
as the result of injuries received by the
collision with careless bicyclist last
Thursday at Bull and Jones street, an ac-
count OF which was given in the Morning
News at the time. He was thrown on his
head, and II Is said his skull was frac-
tured. The bicyclist who ran into him
gave his name as Rule. The little fellow
Is In an extremely dangerous condition,
his injuries being such that the physicians
say he cannot live.
There Is no doubt there should be an
ordinance against scorching as Il is call
ed. Rapid riding is always dangerous on
streets where there are many bicyclists
and pedestrians, and accidents are al
ways invited by IL. 1t is strictly prohibited
In New York, and in fact in all Of the
larger cities In the north, and Their is no
reason why it should be permitted In Sa-
vannah.
Scorchers may be seen on Bull street al
most any hour Of the day, and il is really
wonder there are not more accidents
Mr.. and Mrs. Haylow have the deep sym
pathy OF many friends. and though there
seems to be little chance, Il Is sincerely
hoped the little fellows condition NAV
take turn for the better.

DIR. WEIGHS EXPLANATION.

the Charges Against Him.

The Sanitary Board Investigates
the Charges Against Him.
The sanitary board met yesterday and
investigated charges against DR.. l.. Z.
WEIGH of inhumanity in refusing to an
swer a call from the police barracks in
an urgent case, in which the patient after
wards died.
1t was the case of James Murray, who
was brought to the barracks suffering
from sunstroke. and died shortly after be-
ing taken there. When Murray's serious
condition became known, Chief McDer-
mott sent out policeman with the patrol
wagon to get a physician as quickly as
possible, DR.. farrell, who was acting for
DR.. Corbin, was first applied to, but de-
clined to respond, on the ground that he
was engaged with other cases.
Dr.. WEIGH was then applied to and re-
tion of his refusal, and the fact that the
sunstroke resulted in Murray's death.
threw very bad light on the matter Dr.
WEIGH made a satisfactory explanation to
the board. He was very busy at the time
he said, and did not know that the case
was an urgent one. He had heard the
cry of wolf" so often from the barracks.
he said, that he did not believe that this
was really serious case. The case was
not in his district, he said, and he did not
know at the time that the city physician
In whose district the barracks are located
had been called upon.
A resolution was adopted to the effect
that DR.. WEIGH should have responded to
the call, but on account of the excellent
record which he has made since his cleo
tion as city physician, no vote of censure
was adopted

TOOK WORTHLESS MONEY.
A Bryan street CIOthier Tricked by
Country Negro.

A Bryan street clothing dealer was
done up for 500 Saturday night by a coun-
try negro with an old state bank bill. The
negro bought clothing to the amount of
s. and then rendered the bill in payment.
The bill was dirty and greasy and ragged
and patched in a dozen places with tissue
paper to hold it together, all of which
doubtless helped the dealer to the BELIEF
that the bill was good. He accepted the
Negroes bill and gave him SIS in change
He did not discover his mistake until yes
terday, then he called at the police bar
racks and wanted the chief to find the
man who did it. Chief McDermott told
him that any man who would take such a
looking bill deserved to be done out of his
money. The bill was issued by some bank
in TENNESSEE many years ago.
