PAVING OF THE STREETS.
city Engineer Winn's Recommcn-
dations TO The MAJOR

The annual report Of City Engineer VIM
shows that very large amount Of rou-
tine work has been done hy his Office dur
ing the year, such as plans, maps, pro-
files, estimates and surveys. a brief
summary OF what has been accomplished
in opening and paving streets and house
drainage and other surveys is given.
The city engineer recommends that steps
be taken for the removal OF the trestle
Of the Central OF Georgia railway over
River street. This trestle, he states. d.
vides the narrow street into two paris,
one of which is occupied by a street rail-
way and does not allow sufficient room
on either side for the passage of vehicles
approaching from opposite directions. On
this account accidents of serious nature
are liable to occur.
He recommends that Jefferson street.
between Bay and Broughton streets, be
paved with granite blocks; that on ac-
count Of the heavy traffic on portion OF
Railroad street and the heavy grade that
street be paved with granite blocks,
with tarred joints from West Broad street
to the Ogeechee canal thereby connect
ing the pavement of the Louisville road
with that on West Broad street.
THE condition of Drayton street says
the engineer, demonstrates the impracu-
cabilty of using shells as a covering for
cobble stone paVements The county has
been experimenting with Augusta gravel
as a paving material. This gravel seems
TO be giving satisfaction. / would recon-
mend that some of our streets, not sub
ject to heavy travel, be paved with It.
Tire restrictions as to travel on Bull
street, the narrowness of Drayton street,
necessitates the paving of another ave-
nue., running north and south, for travel,
and / would recommend that either Lin
coin or Habersham be paved to Henry
street. East Broad street has been paved
as far south as Jones street, and l would
call your attention to the desirability of
pacing this street as far south as Henry
street. West of Bull street, there are only
two narrow streets running north and
south which are paved and one OF them,
Whitaker, being occupied by street rail-
way line the travel is almost entirely
concentrated on Jefferson street In view
of these facts l would recommend that
the paving of West Broad street be ex-
tended to Henry street"
The paving of Seventh street and of
Jefferson street, south of Anderson street,
with Augusta gravel, is recommended.
The paving of Bryan street. from the
west side of Barnard to Farm street and
of Farm street, from Bryan to Bay street,
with granite blocks with tarred joints, is
also recommended
The large amount of work done by the
city engineer and his force during the
year just closed is only briefly mentioned,
this being included in a general review of
the drainage and sewerage system Of the
city, made by Mr.. e. J. Thomas, sub
mitted in a separate report The latter
report will be submitted to the house
drainage commission before being made
public.

FAILED TO FIND THE ROBBERS.
The White Blum Road HOId-Up stin
UnSOlVed.

The detectives made a trip out on the
White Bluff road yesterday with the white
man who claimed to have been robbed
there Saturday night by three men of $i5.
but did not succeed In locating the foot
pads.
The man who claims to have been rob-
bed is a stranger in the city. He stated
to the detectives that he walked out on
the White Bluff road about o'clock sat
urday night and when about half mile
beyond the toll gate three men came up
hen.nd him, caught hold of and threw him
down and robbed him Of all the money he
had. Two OF the men were negroes, he
said, ana the other was a white man or
bright mulatto.
After being released by the men he came
on TO the city. he said, and was given 5
cents 10y a storekeeper near the toll gate.
10 whom he told his story, with which ne
took the street car and rode down town
and made his report Of the robbery at the
police barracks.

BANK BILLS BOUGHT CHEAP.
$500 of an Old savannah Bank Sold
For 20 Cents.

For 20 Cents.
A New York lady bought five 800 bills
of a Savannah bank the other day for
20 cents. 1t is not likely, however, that
she will realize very largely on her in
vestment The bank was the Bank of Sa-
vannah which suspended a long time ago.
The bills were issued in 1868. The story
of the find is told by the New York Jour
maj as follows:
Mrs Pearl Deforest of No. 2O3 West
Forty-sixth street is a collector of odd
and ancient books, and when passing an
old book shop. near the postoffice. on
Wednesday afternoon she felt an attack
of bibliomania, and went inside. For some
reason she purchased the second volume
of the Had, though she had never felt
any particular liking for Homer The
dealer asked 20 cents for it. 1t had no IT,
tie page, and therefore the date of publ
cation and the place where the book was
printed could not be told. She took her
purchase home, and when she and her
husband were examining it, she suddenly
exclaimed:
There's a piece of paper pasted inside
the back cover with some of the leaves.
I'm sure something's there, for in buying
il l felt sure the book had a strange
value
"Hot water was brought and the pasted
leaves were carefully taken apart. Be
tween them were found five 500 bills of the
Bank of Savannah of 1858.
Inside of the front cover was a label
reading: 'Hodson Library Society," There
was no name on the fly leaf, nor was there
any clue by which the past ownership
could be traced"

MORE CHILDREN AT SCHOOL.
White schools Have Nearly 800 More
Pupils Than last Year.


The school reports for last week, which
will be submitted to the board of educa-
ton at it's January meeting tonight.
show an increase of nearly 800 white chill
dren in attendance now over the number
that were enrolled at the same time last
year.
The schools are all filed to their utmost
capacity, and there stll remain some
forty white children that are unprovided
for. Many additional pupils were re-
ceved last Monday, the opening day OF
the spring term, and the already large
enrolment was increased,
While the white schools show this in
crease, similar state of affairs at the
colored schools is not to be reported. At
the beginning of last term II was Super
intondent Ashmore's intention to decrease
the attendance at many of the schools.
as they were far too greatly crowded
for the attainment of the best results.
This thinning out of the colored schools
left many Of the children unprovided for,
so the decrease in the enrolment is there
by accounted for. Only one OF the col
ored schools shows a considerable in
crease in pupils over last year, but at THIS
some forty additional ones have been re-
ceyed.
The board will transact the ordinary
routine business that comes before Il at
the regular monthly meeting.

HIS FAREWELL SERMON.
Rev. f. II. Ramsey at the First Pres
byterian Church.

byterian Church.
Rev. f. P. Ramsay. who for the last few
months has been filling the pulpit of the
Independent Presbyterian church as its
supply minister preached yesterday
morning at the First Presbyterian church.
Mr.. Ramsay's sermon made great i'm
preston on the large congregation that
had gathered to hear him. II was full of
thought and clothed in words that made
it pleasing and added to its power.
The text was drawn from Matthew,
1S;l5-17, and the subject was How to Deal
with Our Brethren" The clauses in the
verses of the text formed the heads to the
sermon. Each was taken up In it's order,
and a forceful presentation of the lessons
it is intended to inculcate made.
Mr.. Ramsay said. "if thy brother be at
fault it is not right to tell the whole world
of 1t, hut to go to him alone and advise
with him. Then, If he listen, thou hast
saved thy brother" If he does not attend,
then one or two of his friends should be
taken to see him. and if he does not listen
to them then the faults should be told,
not to the world, but to the church.
The true church," said Mr.. Ramsay,
sis the church that can exercise, disci-
pine" This was the closing head of his
sermon, and was earnestly listened to by
the congregation 1t showed what was
really meant by a chureh's authority and
that the standard of religious excellence
and department should be such as to per-
NIT the exercise of authority In the case
of a transgressng brother with perfect
consistency. This discipline should be up
held in order to keep the members worthy.
Mr. Ramsay will leave Wednesday for
the north. During his stay in Savannah
he has made many friends and admirers,
and his departure from the city, where his
presence and work has done much good,
will be regretted.

Alden. June 29.-The Indian govern
ments steamer Mayo, sent out IN
search of the missing steamer Alden,
from Yokohama April %, via Colomo
and Alden. for London, which was last
heard of when leaving Colomo on June
| for this port, has returned here and
reports that the Alden was totally lost
of the Island of Socotra, at the east
ern extremity of Africa, on the morn
ing of June 9.
The Alden carried 434 passengers
from China and Japan. The captain
of the wrecked steamer. some OF her
officers and crew and seven white pas
sengerS were swept overheard ana
drowned very soon after she ran ashore.
Eight lady passengers, nine children,
two officers and a few Of the Aden's
crew succeeded in getting away from
the wreck in boat but they have not
been heard Of since. and little hope,
owing 10 the bad weather which has
since prevailed, is entertained OF their
safety.
The Mayo saved nine of the Aden's
passengers and three of the white and
thirty-three of the natives of the steam
ers crew. All of these persons were
rescued just as the Alden was breaking
up. The survivors Of the wrecked
steamer were brought to this port by
the Mayo and are being cared for by
the local authorities.
In all the drowned and missing in
clude % passengers, 20 European Off
GERS and 80 natives of the Aden's crew.
