The Investigation n Thoroughly
Satisfactory One-AssessOrs Next.
The investigation committee of council
begun its work yesterday afternoon with
the park and tree commission. The COM
missioners and the committee were in ses-
sion together for two hours. during which
the work of the commission was thor
oughly gone into.
All five of the park and tree commits
sioners, DR.. Stone. and Messrs. Baldwin,
Daffin, Gordon, and Ellis, were present,
and all of the investigating committee,
with the exception of Dr. W. w. Owens,
those present being Aldermen Charlton,
Guckenheimer, Davis and Hamilton,
The books of the commission were pro-
duced and gone over by the meeting, and
all information desired concerning the
workings of the commission was readily
given by the commissioners. The work
of the commission was also discussed, and
some suggestions as to desirable changes
were made.
The committee has decided to maintain
secrecy as to the result of its investiga-
tons until il makes it's report to coun-
Gil. member of the committee informed
Morning News reporter, however that
nothing in the slightest rejecting upon
the members of the commission was dis
covered. The committee thought there
were some improvements that could be
made in the methods of the commission,
but these were changes which had al
ready been recommended by the chair
man of the commission.
The investigating committee will devote
Tomorrow afternoon to the board of tax
assessors and receivers. This nvestiga-
lie nvF fnd 10 he eI,1 a.
work of the board of assessors is of a
character easily gotten at. Next week
will come the real work of the committee
when the fire, water and police commits
sion will be taken up. The order in which
they will be taken up has not been decided.
The commissioner of public works will
probably be left to the last as this is the
investigation TO which the committee will
undoubtedly devote its most serious atten-
ton.

j. A. BRUNsON FOUND GUILTY.
Appropriated 10 His own Use s12.75
Belonging to Maria Davidson.


]. A. Brunson, white man, was con-
victed in the superior court yesterday
morning of the offense of larceny after
trust. The indictment against him charg-
ed that on oct. 49, 1896, he was entrusted
with $1275 by Maria Davidson, for the
purpose of paying It to the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company, and that he APP
propriated the amount to his own use.
Brunson was defended by Mr.. william
Pease. He was found guilty by the Jury,
with a recommendation that he be punish
ed as for a misdemeanor. on the request
of the defendants counsel Judge Falli-
giant postponed passing sentence upon him
until this morning. II is presumed Mr.
Pease desires TO present some facts in his
clients favor, which he thinks might in
duce the court 70 deal gently with Brun-
son. Mr.. Pease filed a demurrer to the
indictment, on the ground that IL did not
show that Brunson had defrauded a per-
son or corporation. but Judge Falligant
overruled it, and the case went 10 trial.

The M. ID. & SIS. Connection with the
Georgia and Alabama.


Georgia and Alabama.
The rumor that the Macon, Dublin and
Savannah railroad would seek a connec-
ton with the Georgia and Alabama rail-
road appears to be confirmed by the fact
that preliminary survey has been som-
pleted from Dublin, the present terminus
of the Macon, Dublin and Savannah, to
Ohoopee, on the Georgia and Alabama
railroad, a distance of fifty-three miles,
and that the engineering party is now in
the field locating the line.
The indications are that the Macon,
Dublin and Savannah railroad will build
the connection, which would give them a
route to Savannah over the Georgia and
Alabama railroad.
Other railroad building of interest to
Savannah is also in progress. The Plant
system is preparing to build line thirty
five miles long from Newton, on the Ala
bama Midland, to Elba, the county seat
of Coffee county, Alabama. Coffee is
said to be one of the richest counties
in Southeastern Alabama, and is at pres
ent entirely without railroads. The bulll-
ing OF the branch line will open up this
territory to Savannah merchants
The Mobile and Ohio railroad is max
ing arrangements to begin work on the
Montgomery, Tuscaloosa and Ohio all
road, which was projected several years
ago, from Columbus, Miss, to Montgom-
cry, Ala. The line will be built from
Columbus to Tuscaloosa, and as the line
is already graded from Tuscaloosa to
Montgomery, that portion of the line will
doubtless be built also. As Savannah has
three lines with termini at Montgomery,
the Plant system, the Georgia and Ala
bama and the Central, any railroad ex-
tension from that point is of interest here.
The new line when completed will pen
up another route to the west.

1t isn't if Greece fill play horse with

1t isn't if Weyler fG cash is at work,
1t isn't if Ellsworhs cartoon bill will

1t isn't if David b. Hills gone to grass,
It's not if McKinleyto Hanna will cling,
It's not if John l.. will re-enter the ring,
But this is the question on every side,
On horse car and steamboat
Which wheel 10 you ride?
It's not who you are md the name of your
set,
It's not if you're ricl or encompa ssed by
debt,
It's not if you live in castle or fat,
It's not if your head is to large for your
hat,
It's not if you have grand opera box,
It's not if you gamble or monkey in
stocks,
But this is the question tlat's everywhere
piled,
On horse car or Steamboat
Which wheel do you ride?
If up on a tower that tdlches the sky,
If running to gather a rain on the fly,
If out on the sea On a fast leaking boat,
If throwing q brick a the trespassing
goat
If sitting in church as TIE plate nipples by,
If lying stone dead win a cent on each
eye,
You'd still hear this question that's never
decried-
The question of questions
Which wheel do you ride?
