DR.. LeHardy Says Florida Health
Officers Are on the Lookout.
A letter was received by Health officer
LeHardy yesterday from State Health Of
flcer Porter of Florida, giving informa-
ton about a death from yellow fever at
Franklin, La.
Dr. LeHardy thinks the letter impor-
tant, in view of the uneaslness expressed
by the health authorities of Augusta about
infection there from persons passing
through Southern ports, and calling on
the officials at Washington to intercede
in behalf OF interior cities.
you are notified. the letter says. that
the State Board of Health of Florida is
officially Informed of a death from yellow
fever at Franklin, ST. Marys parish, Lou
islana, The office of this board Is in con-
slant Geographic communication with the
officials connected with the management
of the protective measures now in opera
ton, and you will be kept informed.
AT present it is not thought that any
thing is necessary to safeguard the people
of our state beyond the restrictions estab-
lished by the State Board of Health of
Louisiana and the federal government
Should the necessity arise, the require
ments of quarantine circular No. - ISSUED

drinking. He was given a remedy, and left,
about $3.50 o'clock. In few moments a
policemen told Mr.. Knight about his death.
Fireman w. W. Hughes of the hook and
ladder truck at the central station, was
next examined. He said he heard a dog
''hoAer.' and also thought he heard re-
treating steps. He also heard man "hol-
ler.' He remarked then about hearing the

who had formed a pleasant acquaintance
with him.
Before the remains were taken to the de-
pot, they were removed to the rooms of
the Teutonia singing society at Drayton
and President streets, where a brief but
touching service was held. The society es-
corted the body to the train.

SeaDroOk seems to Have the Pull
There for Judge.
Mr.. John Morrison, the well known
naval stores man of Ellabelle, in Bryan
county, was in the city yesterday. Speak
ing of political affairs in that county Mr..
Morrison expressed the belief, from what
he had seen and heard, that the ma
jority of the Democrats of the county are
for Paul seabrook, Esq. for judge of the
new Atlantic circuit
This Is not due to any antagonism to
Capt. G. T. Cam. or any doubt of his
fine ability for the bench, but to the gem
eral feeling that a resident of the circuit
should have the position.
There are three candidates out for rep
resentative in Bryan, Mr.. Morrison says,
Mr.. J. H. Strickland, who is said to favor
the selection of Mr.. Cam for Judge, and
who IS strong man; Mr.. A. j. Brown,
who is regarded as favoring Mr.. Sea-
brooks candidacy, and a negro who Win
stay at home. Another candidate is said
to be about to announce himself Mr.. w
b. Bragg of the coast section, a popular
and able man. Altogether the scrub race
for legislative honors in Bryan promises

THE WICKED ALABAMA SLING.
The Small Boy Putting in His Work
With "a Vengeance.


With "a Vengeance.
The boy with the slingshot is making
the most of his time nowadays. Every
thing is his mark from the bird on the
top limb of tree to the yellow dog in the
lane, and occasionally the unfortunate
passer-by gets pumped with a china berry
or a solid shot Whichever it is, he comes
to the conclusion that he had about as
soon be hit with a 13-inch shell from a
battleship.
The police now and then chase a mis-
chievous youngster with a split single
a piece of rubber, and his pockets full of
missiles, around a corner, but they sell
dom catch him. As matter of fact, the
boy with a slingshot is about as bad as
the man who carries a revolver or a bowie
knife. The weapon may not be as fatal,
but in the eyes of the law it is a crime
TO carry it.
A few arrests, followed by a few days
in Jail for the youngsters who go around
with the wicked implement under their
coats would call a halt in its use if 1t
did not put a stop TO it, The experiment
is worth trying, anyhow

of Council tomorrow night, Messrs. Saus-

the other at once, ii was determined to
give the property owners a hearing
through their counsel. Just what recon-
mendation the committee will make is not

OF the property owners is that they be-
lieved they were right in opposing the
city in the courts in its collection of claims

TO INSPECT THE ROADS.

Grand Jury Committee to See How
Thick the Gravel Is.
The special committee of the grand jury
viii so over the Waters road, Estill aven-
ue and Dale avenue Friday for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the thickness of the
gravel put there. and which is a part of
the charges filed by Mr.. William Kehoe
against the County Commissioners.
MIR. Kehoe's claim is that the gravel is
only three inches thick, while Superintend-
ent Chaplin says on the contrary that
there is uniform thickness of six inches.
There are about ten miles of road surfaced
with the Augusta gravel. which it will
take the committee some time to inspect.
Just how the inspection win be made, or
who will be along, is not known. 1t is
probable the committee will have a few
good hands with them, however, who win
tap the gravel at various points so that
measurements may be made.

RAIN KEEPS COMING.
A Regular Flood Opered Up on Sa-
vannah During the Night.

Savannah had more than its share of
rain yesterday and last night. The rain
began early in the morning and fell stead
lily until afternoon. 1t then let up for a
few hours, but began again soon after
dark, and came down in torrents, and kept
coming all night.
No measurement of the rainfall was
made at the weather station after o'clock
in the morning. The rain had just begun
then however. 1t is estimated that the
fall was something over two inches during
the day. The indications at midnight were
for a continuance of the rain.
AT 2 o'clock this morning the streets
were flooded and the sewers had all they
could do to carry off the surface water.
Out around the park the water stood in
ponds.

Rosecrans was man of action in every

spared neither himself nor his subordi
mates. Staff officers rarely lasted long with
him, though they remained as long as ma
ture would sustain their ambition. He was
always ready for work in headquarters at
10 O'Clock. Being devoted Catholic he
rose early on Sundays and Wednesdays and
attended mass He did not often retire till
o'clock in the morning, frequently not be
fore 4, and sometimes remained at work till
broad daylight. 1t was not unusual for his
aids to fall asleep in their chairs while he
was still eagerly continuing his work over

WEAKNESS he would look at them compass

18th he was ready. His problem now was
to cross the Tennessee and again gain pos
session of Chattanooga. There were two
ways open to him-to fight his way in or
flank the enemy out. He chose the latter.
Aug. % Bragg, deceived by a singular
activity along a front Of $50 miles on the
part of the Federals, felt himself forced to
evacuate Chattanooga, which he did, and
the Federal forces effected unresisted
entrance. Rosecrans' forces were, however,
badly scattered, and the problem that now
faced the Union commander was speedy and
effective concentration. Bragg had been
REINFORCED by Longstreet's veteran troops,
Buckner had come to his aid from Knox
vile, Walker had been sent by Joseph f.
Johnston, and militia from Georgia. With
these forces at his command Bragg de-
termined to fall upon the Federal troops
and massed his army with the design of re-
ceiving the isolated corps of Rosecrans' men
as they debouched through the gaps in the
mountains and annihilate them in detail.
In this he was not successful, and for time
1t looked as if Rosecrans would SUCCEED in
his plan of concentration. But he was not
quick enough, and a general engagement
the battle of Chickamauga-began on Sept.
10, Bragg making the onset with perhaps
IS, 900 men. 1t is claimed that Rosecrans
had but 81, 600 Bragg's plan was now to
turn Rosecrans' left and then clear the way
into Chattanooga. George H. Thomas pre-
vented this, and the day closed without
overwhelming disaster to the Federals, but
it had called into action every resource of
Rosecrans' army. while the Confederates
still had reserves
The next morning Bragg, who had been
strengthening his position all night, began
a determined attack, and in a short time
the engagement was under full swing all
along the line. In the heat of the battle
General Thomas T. Wood, a division COM
mander, through Misrepresentation of his
orders, broke the line of battle and marched
to the rear of another division. Longstreet
perceived the gap and threw Hood and his
command into it. This lost the battle on
the right, the Federal troops broke, and the
Confederates advanced almost without op-
position. Rosecrans was himself caught in
the rut and was forced to hasten to Chat
tanooga to prepare for the inevitable re-
treat and defense Garfield his chief OF
staff, was sent to General Thomas to inform
him of what had happened and of plans for
the future. / homas was equal to the oc-
