WORK OF THE CONVICTs,

The BuckhaIter Drainage Force to
BE Increased To-day.
The convicts which have been at work
on drainage about the city of Savannah
for the last week or ten days will be car
ried back this morning to Buckhalter
swamp to resume the work there.
For the last week little work has been
done at Buckhalter swamp, Superintend-
ent of Public Works Chaplin said to a
Morning News man last night. The hands
were brought nearer to the city to do
some important work that needed to be
done in the way of drainage for the ben
eft of the city from sanitary standpoint.
They have been at work draining Minis
swamp and Lamar swamp and fixing up
the canals on the western side of the Ogee-
chez road, near the CITY," said Superin-
tendent Chaplin, but that work is about
completed now and they will be taken
back to Ruckhalter swamp Tomorrow
There are sixty convicts at Pooier now
Superintendent Chaplin said. 'They have
been there more than a month, but the
work will be finished within the next ten
days and they will be taken to Buckhalter
swamp.
There have never been more than forty
or fifty hands at work at Buckhalter yet.
There will be more than this there, how
that has been at work at Pooler is taken
there the number of hands at Buckhalter
will, of course, be largely increased.
There are thirty men at work on
Montgomery cross road, this work having
been resumed. There are sixty or seventy
at the county farm, some Of whom are
cripples and cannot work. They are do
ing some repair work"
The strongest force of men is at work
at Pooler. The work there has kept the
men for more than month, and the peo-
pie of that section have petitioned the
county officials to continue the work on
the drainage there, but this petition has
not been acted on yet. Supt. Chaplin says
he is determined to make a good showing
with the county forces. He says that he
has not had charge long enough vet to
get fair chance for a start, but he
thinks after he has been given a little
time he will show up some good results.
He IS greatly interested in the work that
is before him, and he hopes to be allow
ed to go ahead without any interruption

The work on the Montgomery cross
road, he says, will be pushed vigorously

work there, and he expects that it will he

Telegrnms Between Savannah and
brooklyn About John often.
The body of John Otten the young Ger
man who was killed by a sunstroke day
before yesterday at Greenwich park has
not yet been sent to Brooklyn, where his
former home is believed to have been.
On eliciting the information of Otten's
home from his acquaintances of a two
weeks in Savannah, Coroner Goette wired
TO the chief of police of Brooklyn asking
il the young mans brother could be 10
Gated in that city. He at the same time
sent slight description of young often.
In reply he received a telegram from
J. Henry Often of Brooklyn requesting
fuller description. Inquiry was made par
ucularly of the young mans teeth, which
were probably regarded by the Brooklyn
man as a distinctive mark Of his brother.
This would seem to establish the identity
of Often IS the brother of the Brooklyn
man of the name, for his teeth were
about the only peculiar feature about him.
The upper row of teeth were minus three,
one on one side and two on the other in
front, and this fact was telegraphed by
the coroner to ]. Henry often of Brook
Ign.
A reply will probably be received to-day.
and if the identity of Often is established,
his remains will be sent on to his home
for interment.
