The later orders issued make It consider
ably more convenient for The city, which
has agreed TO supply the necessary water
for the troops. In connection with the

As soon as the city authorities learned
yesterday that there was no doubt about
the troops coming here a sufficient guam
tity of pipe was ordered by telegraph from
Chattanooga to make water connec lion
from Bolton street and the Waters road

Supt. II. NJ Lotion Jeff last night for
Chattanooga, where he goes 10 make ar
rangements for rushing the pipe through
on a quick schedule. Arrangements were
made with the Central Railroad prior to
his departure to rush the pipe through on
passenger schedules as fast as II is loaded,
so that some of ii will be here on Thurs
day and about all of it by Friday or Sat
urday morning.
Supt. Lotion said just before leaving
greater port of the pipe here on Thursday,
and he considered that with quick work
1t could be laid and the water supply put
into the middle OF the camp ground Sun

will be ready for the troops on their ar
rival in Savannah, and that Is one of the
most important features of the whole ar

main in Savannah to-day but he and
some Of them will probably go down to

In its honor. AS soon as that is over they
will return to Savannah to look after the
corps on its arrival here.
The railroads have as yet received no in
structions with regard 10 the removal of
the troops. Bids were opened in Jackson
willie yesterday afternoon. There are only
two lines by which the troops can he
transported the Plant System and the
Florida Central and Peninsular. The ma
jority of the troops Of the corps are en-
camped along the line of the Florida Gen.
trial and Peninsular, and it is expected that
the largest number will be moved by that
line.
All of the troops will start by the Florida
Central and Peninsular on that account,
and the Plant Systems share will be
transferred to it at Jacksonville. 1t Is sup
posed that the troops will leave the trains
at Estill avenue and Bun street and march
from there to the AVondale tract In that
event the troops which come by the Flor
ida Central and Peninsular will be trans
feTred TO the Plant System at the juno
ton near the city. and all of them can be
put off at the point nearest the camp.
