THE WORK ALMOST COMPLETE.
Some Facts and Figures About the
Government Building Sewer.

Government Building Sewer.
The sewer for the government building
has been completed and tested from
square almost the entire distance of $500
feet. The sewer was left uncovered for
the entire distance for the purpose of
testing it, which was done by stopping
the pipes at each manhole and filling it
with water given the pressure derived
from a standpipe six feet high.
This sewer is perhaps deeper than any
in the city for its size. The bottom of
the East Broad street sewer, to which
level of the street. The new sewer en-
tiers the East Broad street sewer, which
is six feet in diameter, nearly three feet
above the bottom. The average depth of
the new sewer is Is feet inches, but at
Lincoln and between Lincoln and Aber-
corn streets, which is the highest point
along its line. ii is about fifteen feet below
the surface. 1t has total fall of six feet
from Bull to East Broad street.
There has been some curiosity to know
what would be done about getting around
the Gordon monument. An angle will be
run from the manhole on the eastern side
of the square across to the magnolia tree
in front of the building near the corner
of York street. This will bring the line
entirely clear of the enclosure in which
the monument stands.
The work is being done by Messrs Nc
Kenna & Walsh who received the sewer
contract proper from Hunnicutt Bel
lingrath of Atlanta, and that for the
manholes from Messrs. Miles & Bradt
on bid Of 5000. The work is being SUI
perintended by Mr.. j. H. McKenna. 1t
has been done thoroughly and to the salts
faction of the government officials who
were here recently for the purpose of in
specting it. With good weather the work
will be entirely completed this week.

VIOLATED THE PLUMBING LAW.
Policeman .sheehan Got Tired OF
High Prices and is On the Docket

fOliceman 'Sheehan cot Tired OF
High Prices and is On the Docket.
A complaint has been made against Po-
liceman William Sheehan for doing a
plumbers business without a license.
The complaint very probably would not
have been made had not a mistake been
made by the man employed to do some
plumbing work by Mr.. Sheehan, who turn
ed on gas instead of water.
Mr.. Sheehan found a leak Saturday in
the pipe leading to his bathtub. He has
a neighbor who knows something of the
plumbing business, and who is out of
work, and so he gave him the job of mend
ing the pipe. 1t is supposed that this man,
in trying to turn off the water from the
house to mend the leak, made mistake,
and turned on the gas from a box, set in
the pavement in front of the house. The
gas did not enter the house, but escaped
into the street. The strong smell was no.
tced by the people living in the vicinity
and Sunday morning complaint was made
to the gas company of the leak. Employees
vestjgate, discovered the leak and turned
on lie gas. This was about IL o'clock
Mr.. Sheehan was sleeping late, having
come off duty at o'clock, but he was
walked up and informed of the trouble
He explained what he knew of the mat
ter, and that is what got him into trouble
The city ordinance prohibits any but a
licensed plumber from doing plumbers
work. 1t would seem to be a very good
law, judging by Mr.. Sheehan's case. A
man who does not know a water pipe
from a gas pipe has no business to be do
ing plumbers work. The case, however
will have TO be made against the man
who did the work.
Mr.. Sheehan said about the matter that
he had little plumbing work to do in
his house some time ago. He employed a
regular plumber, who did about two hours
work and put in about three feet of pipe.
His bill was $35. Not caring to repeat this
experience, he endeavored to secure a less
expensive man to mend the leak in his
bath pipe. That is how the trouble came
about.

many violations of the plumbing ordi-
nance. A gentleman had occasion, some
time ago. to have some work done in con-
nection with his gas stove 1t took little
over half a day. The plumber put in
bill for fourteen hours time and charged
$l1 for it.

ARTIST BRADLEY HERE.
He VIII Select a Glass of 40 Out of
5S Students.

ne VIII SeAect a Cinss OF 40 Out of
5S Students.
Mr.. Horace Bradley, who is to have
charge of instructing the classes of the
Students Art League at the Telfair Aca-
denny arrived in the city yesterday.
There were fifty-eight students awaiting
him and they met him at the cademy in
the afternoon, where he took specimens
of their work in drawing and painting and
separated them into classes.
Mr. Bradley met the executive board
of the league last night at the residence
of Mrs. w w. Gordon, where all the plans
for the work were gone over. A list of
materials needed was prepared and they
were telegraphed for by Mr.. Bradley last
night.
AS Mr.. Bradley can secure these mate
rails at a large discount, the art league
will pay cash for everything needed, and
the students will be given the benefit of
the discount. The materials will be the
only thing which students will pay for,
as the entrance to the classes and the en-
tire course of instruction will be abso-
lutely free.
Out of the fifty-eight students, however.
Mr.. Bradley will be able to give instruc-
ton to only about forty. These he will
select entirely according to the quality of
the specimens which they submitted to
him. Bor the others a waiting list will be
established, and If at any time, members
drop out of the classes others on the wait
ing list Will be given a chance to take
their places. Out of the forty students
about ten will go in the painting class
while the others, not far enough advance
ed for that, will take UP drawing
As there is a number of young men who
would like the advantage of such instruc-
ton, but whose business prevents them
from attending the classes in the day
time. Mr. Bradley will probably form a
private class at night, for which instruc-
ton the students will, of course have to
make arrangements with Mr.. Bradley.
The classes in painting and drawing
will be given each two lessons week at
the Telfair Academy. the painting in the
morning and the drawing in the afternoon
AS the number is limited to forty and
there are about eighteen more applications
It will be hardly possible for MIR. Brad
ley to take into these classes any nom
resident of Savannah.
Mr.. Bradley expressed himself very
much pleased with the specimens which
were presented to him yesterday after
noon. Those of some of the students. he
says, eVince some very decided talent
and there is every Indication that the
work viii be advantageous for all con-
cerned. Mr.. Bradley will begin the in
struction of the classes just as soon as the
materials arrive

THE PLAN OF COLONIAL PARK
WILL BE SUBMITTED TO THE COM
MISSION IN DAY OR TWO.

A Broad Walk VIII Extend Through
IL on the Line of Lincoln street,
with DivergIng Walks Other
Parks in the Southern Section to
BE Improved.
Mr.. p. J. Berckmans is in the city at
work on his plan for the Improvement OF
the Colonial park. Mr.. Berckmans decf-
ded that he could complete his plan more
satisfactorily IL he were on the ground
than with only a map to guide him.
The plan win be submitted 10 the park
and tree commission in a few days. II
provides for a main walk twenty feet In
width through the park on the line Of
Lincoln street. The other walks will be
in curving lines, and will be eight feet in
width. Walks of this kind will diverge
from the Lincoln street and the McDOn>
Ougn street entrances both to the right
and left, and there will be other walks
entering at various points in South Broad
and Abercorn streets
The work Of cleaning up the park Is now
about completed and is also that Of mend
ing the broken vaults and resetting the
tombstones- As soon as Mr.. Berckmans
lays out the walks they will be rolled with
heavy roller and laid with some pavine
material. A portion Of the brick from old
wall will probably be used for this pur-
pose, the bricks being crushed and spread
over the walks.
Inc park and tree commission met YES
terday afternoon and discussed various
matters. The commission is considering
the Improvement Of three outlying parks
In the southern section of the city, Wells
square, Thomas park and Tiny Thomson
PARK. Wells square consists of the block
between Montgomery and West Broad and
Eighth and Ninth streets. Thomas marx
fronts Bull street between Fifth and Sixth
streets. Both of these are large parks
ana are capable OF considerable improve
ment. thompson park is a large lot
ABOUT tour-t enths of an acre, near the
Georgia lnfirmary. The commissioners
propose to inclose these parks with curb
ing ana to Improve them by setting out
trees and grasses. AS the parks are now
entirely unimproved, the commissioners
VIII be able TO adopt and carry out a plan
for each.
Chairman Stone has ordered a lot of
new iron benches to be put in the Bay
street park at the eastern end. The com
mlssloners want to park all the open space
not required for traffic on the north side
OF BAY street and will bring the matter
day. y
Public Works Commissioner Wulinlx has
received bids for removing the iron fence
around Forsyth park and transferring it
20 the eastern side of Laurel Grove Gene
terry. The bids viii be submitted to coun-
ell and an appropriation made for the
work. The park and three commission
viii not be called upon to bear any of the
expense of removing the fence, as it was
the intention of the commission TO sell
the fence as il stood and let the purchaser
remove it.
The park and tree force is doing consid-
cradle work in the way of removing dead
trees, of which there were quite number
Chairman Stone states that parties who
wish overhanging limbs of trees which
threaten danger to residences removed
can have this work done by notifying the
foreman.

UnSeemIy Conduct of Drowning
Woman Toward Her Rescuer.

UnSeemIy Conduct of "A Drowning
woman Toward Her Rescuer.
A queer case Of pulling his leg occur
red early yesterday morning on the river
front.
A deck hand who was keeping
watch on the government dredge boat
Toccoa, lying at the foot of Drayton
street, was startled by a splash in the
water near by. He ran TO the stern OF
the boat and saw a woman struggling in
the water a few feet away. She had evil
wharf, or from the deck of the tugboat
Cynthia, which was mOored just above.
In the majority of cases where people
drop into the Savannah river, either &C
cidentally or Intentionally, they sink at
once, and are seldom seen again untif
day or two afterwards. The woman s
dress probably kept her ahoat.
The deck hand is a man Of great pres
ence OF mind. Getting down on the stern
OF the boat he stuck one leg into the
water and called out to the young woman
TO catchshold as she fioated down against
promptly, and having once caught hold
held on with a death like grip. In fact
she pulled his leg so hard that she pulled
the mans trousers nearly off.
With the assistance Of other members
OF the crew she was pulled aboard. Then
with true feminine Inconsistency, she de-
manded TO know why they didn't let her
drown. 1t Was seen that the woman was
intoxicated, and she was given in charge
OF Policeman Neidlinger. who was on duty
IN that neighborhood, and who sent her
to the barracks. The case was not en-
tered on the docket, however, and the
woman was sent TO the house where she
lived, not far from the barracks.

May Be Fatal.

John Moreno. the negro who was as
saulted and badly beaten Saturday night,
was reported yesterday to be in a dying
condition. His arm was broken, and he
