WORKING ON DALE AVENUE.
Railroad Track Along the Waters
Road Now Being Taken Up.

HOau NOW bps
That portion of the convict forces
which is engaged on the road work is max
ing good progress. A part of the force
is now engaged in taking up the railroad
track along the Waters road. This track
was put down while the road was be-
ing surfaced with Augusta gravel, for
the purpose of transporting the material
to the point desired. Now that the road
is completed, the track will be taken up
and turned over to the Plant system, from
which is was rented.
The next road work to be done Is on Dale
avenue, the new road to Thunderbolt. A
force of hands is already engaged on this
The men are now clearing up the right
of-way of the new road and are also en-
gagged in repairing the track of the Sa-
vannah and Isle of Hope line, which will
be used in transporting the material to
be used to the point desired. This road
as is well known, will follow pretty close
" the line of that track.
. The 100 convicts who are engaged on
the drainage work about the city are
making good progress and it is thought
they will soon complete the work which
the city asked should be done.

HANDSOMELY FITTED UP,
The Masonic Lodge Room Now
Scene of Beauty.

The Masonic Lodge Room Now IA
Scene of Beauty.
Solomon's Lodge of Masons will hold its
first meeting tonight in the room that
has been so handsomely reftted. Several
of the most enthusiastic of the members
were busy last night in putting the new
furniture in place and arranging every
thing so that the room would be in per-
feet order for the first meeting.
The members of the lodge, who have not
seen the room since its completion, will be
astonished by the wonders that have been
wrought in its appearance. Palatial APP
pointments have taken the place of the
accommodations that were endured by the
lodge members up TO the time the i'm
proYemcnts we're commenced several
weeks ago An elegant new carpet that
blends most admirably with the coors Of
the walls and ceiling offers a covering for
the floor that the foot hestates to tread
upon for the fear Of marring it. Overheard
the dun colors of the natural woods that
gave the room sombre appearance have
given way to the attractive lighter shades
White and gold reflect the blaze ~
light that is flashed upon the room from
the many electric lights. Some of these
are arranged in representations of the
mystic symbols Of Masonry, and the &C"
and the shining star glow In scintillant
splendOr before the eyes of the orders
Votaries. Electric fans have also been put
in. A handsome altar occupies the central
place in the room, and arranged around
are the revolving chairs of the members
The wallis are among the most attractive
of the improvements, pretty designs of
paper covering those, not only of the lodge
room proper, but of the ante rooms and
hall as well. The renovations cost the
lodge $3.50.

AT WORK. IN CHARLESTON.
savannah LOngshnreme Who Went
There Get Employment.


From the Charleston News and Courier.
Charleston is now under obligations to
Savannah for about two hundred of the
best longshoremen that ever loaded a ship
or relieved a vessel of her cargo. The
Forest City stevedores who are at pres
ent engaged al work along the water front
are a remarkably sober and Industrious
set of men. and are giving their employ
ers thorough satisfaction.
Some six weeks ago, when everybody
down on the wharves began TO make pre-
parations for the fall rush of business, it
was decided that there was by no means
a sufficient number of longshoremen in the
city to perform the work that the ships
coming and going out of this port would
demand. During the latter part of August
sixty stevedores were brought over to this
city from Savannah, and put to work i'm
mediately. This first crowd Of longshore-
men were so well pleased with the city
that they communicated with their friends
in the neighboring city and gave glowing
accounts of Charleston, and of the situa-
tions that could easily be secured here
with the result that about two weeks ago
seventy-five more stevedores from Savan-
nah arrived here in quest of employment
While some few of the latest arrivals had
already made arrangements 60 start to
work, the majority OF tnem just trusted 10
luck, so to speak, and came over with the
hopes of getting something to do without
being forced to return.
So far as can be learned there is not
one of the Savannah stevedores without
employment. In the first place, there has
been an unusually large number of ships
in port since the fall season set in and
in the second place. the longshoremen
from the other city are such good work
ers and know their business so wen that
the Charleston employers are loath to give
them up after they are afforded an OPP
portunity Of seeing what the Forest City
stevedores can do.
The steamer Clifton yesterday carried
six gangs of longshoremen to Port Royal.
Four gangs also went to Charleston in re-
Spouse to a call from one of the steve
dores there.

MELODRAMA AT THE THEATER.
A story of the Cuban War the Attrnc-
ton Tomorrow Night.

A story of the Cuban War the Attrnc-
ton Tomorrow Night.
1.-The Last Stroke" which will be at
the theater tomorrow night, had a run
in New York such as no melodrama of
recent years has enjoyed. 1t jumped into
immediate and amazing popularity, and
the story being upon popular theme, il
was received with great deal of en-
thusasm. Indeed, it is said that no such
tremendous exhibitions of approval were
ever seen before i'm q New York theater
where there were no stars of importance
performing The play is now appearing
in New York and the metropolitan papers
speak of it as one of the best melo-
dramas the metropolis has seen in several
years.
Just at this time when all America
seems interested in the gallant struggle Of
the Cubans for liberty the play becomes
not only entertaining but instructive. 1t
is said to be picturesquely mounted and
intelligenuy conceived, and the cast is
said to be a strong one.

Making slow Work the BiIl-Have
Experts at Work.
WASHINGTON, March 24.-The Repub-
lican members of the senate committee
on finance so far in their investigations
OF the tariff bill have confined them
selves exclusively to the chemical sched-
ule, and no conclusions have been
reached as 20 the rates fixed in that
schedule or determination to change
them. 1t Is the announced intention of
the committee TO give out no statements
of progress until the entire bill can re-
ceive an examination, which will per-
init a correct estimate of its general ef-
fects and afford accurate information as
TO the revenues it will produce.
The committee have several experts
at work upon this latter feature and ex-
pect TO be able to determine very closely
the result IN this respect. The changes
thev NAV make IN the various sched-
ules Will depend upon this showing.
Even then their figures made from day
TO day, they saw, Will be tentative and
Will not be given out for publication.
We 90 not propose said one of
the members of the committee in ex-
PLANTATION of this policy. Ito give the
stock gam Jlers a basis for operations.
None OF our conclusions as TO any
one schedule can be permanent until
we shall nave made our figures on all,
as one must necessarily depend largely
on all the others"
The committee hope to be able to
conclude their work within month S
time.

with its pro isions. While the report
1yhitewashe the state officials, II was
generally eI 1oTsed, as II provides for
the receivlG of interest on state de-
posits.
Senator Cochran filed minority re-
mort in which he said he did not believe
the interest was large enough, and that
there were not enough banks selected.
The majority report was adopted-2f
TO II.
Senator Snyder then, with unani-
NOUS consent, presented a bill provIdlng
for the depository of state money and
the collection of interest thereon, and
providing for the selection OF state de
positories. Mr.. Snyder said the bill
was presented at the request OF the
committee on investigation The SEN
ate then adjourned.
The new rules went into effect in the
house, and from now until otherwise
ordered the house Will meet at p. IN.
daily and remain in session until p m.
The members were a little slow at
getting around and there was only "A
handful of members present. Speaker
Rover called the house to order. a
resolution was presented doing away
with the publication of the Legislative
Record. The resolution was tabled.
and Mr. VOORHEES, presented 4 resolu-
ZION that the clerk of the house be in
structed to give to the public printer all
bills and resolutions as soon as pre-
sented. MIR. Voorhees, said if this was
done the public printer promised to
have the record printed and on the
members desks within "A hours. Mr..
Voorhees, resolution was adopted.
The report of the treasury investigat-
ing committee was then read and there
was little interest manifested, as most
of the members had heard the report
read in the senate. After the report
was read the house took mp bills on
third reading and this took up the most
of the st CSSlOu,
