tate company now has an income Of 500
a year from the houses which 1t Is supply
ing. BY connecting the other houses in that
section with the mains, this income can
be increased to about S700. The cost OF
connecting with the city mains will be
about $3.50, so that the city will get hand
some income from the investment The
city win also get the absolute right to the
use of those streets for water mains,
which is an important consideration, o 5
the streets have not yet been secured by

system over that section. This is part
of the city plan which is required to be
extended over that section before it be-
comes subject to taxation. The streets in
that section will doubtless be opened soon
and it is proper that the people there
should be given water and fire protec.

SCRUGGS' STEAL.
Warrant for His Arrest Follows His
Removal From Office.

Columbia, s. c., May 6.-L. j. Williams
member of the state board of control,
swore out warrants tonight against S.
w. Scruggs, chief clerk of the dlspensary.
and Col. John T. CASTOR, ex-commissioner
Of the d1pensary. This is the result of
investigations by the attorney general
the testimony showing that Scruggs had
taken from trunk which was seized by
constables four boxes of cigars and sew
eral cans of peaches. The trunk was the
property of William Beckroge of Savan-
nah, who went to Charleston about a
month ago to get married and carried a
trunk full of wine and whisky, cigars,
canned peaches, oranges, etc. United
States Judge Simonton declared the seizure
Illegal and when Beckroge demanded his
trunk and contents they were gone. The
trunk was sold to Legislator Garris but
the board decided that il was a perfectly
legitimate transaction, but could not stand
the idea of employees approprlating the CT
gars and things to their own use CASTOR
got few cigars, some oranges and a pair
Of shoes out of the trunk, but after the
whole matter was ventilated he paid for
them.
The warrants were not served tonight,
but will be tomorrow morning
Scruggs was decapitated as chief clerk
tonight, and w. Fl. Lowrence, an expert
bookkeeper, was appointed in his place.

RICHARDS LOSES THE ROAD.
The Governor Selves the Northeastern

for the state,
Atlanta. Ca, May Gov Atkinson this
afternoon issued proclamation seizing
the Northeastern railroad In the name OF
the state. and appointing Rufus X. Reaves
OF Athens as agent Of the state 10 take
charge OF and operate the property.
The seizure was due TO the failure OF Ed
A. Richards. the lessee to come forward
with the rental for the last quarter, which
was due on the last day OF April. AZ that
time the governor. on request OF the
bondsmen OF Mr.. Richards. allowed them
until to-day 70 see II they could not pay
the rental and thus prevent forfeiture
OF the lease.
w. s, William, one OF the bondsmen,
went 20 New York to see MIR. Richards.
but was unable TO make satisfactory
arrangement with him, and the rent was
not paid. Mr. Richards as lessee, was
placed In the hands Of a receiver last
week upon "a bill flied by the State Saw
ings Bank OF this city. which he owed
several thousand dollars. This step caus-
ed his collapse.
To-day the bondsmcn and attorneys for
the receiver appeared before the governor
