A rumor that Charles Luudy,
of Company B, Savannah Volun-
teer Guards, now part of the Second Geor-
gia Regiment ct Tampa under Capt.
Screven, said to have been struck in the
head with a pick ak some days ago. has
d6N from the effect of the injuries. The
news comes from Augusta, where Lundy's
daughter Mrs. Bullack, formerly Of ga
vannah, and his brother are living. Lundy
is understood to have been born in Au-
susta and spent the greater part of his
lie there.
Lundy was well known to a number Of
Savannahjaus. He had been living here
off and or for about ten years. lie was. a
painter by trade, but also followed the
business of q Ougshoreman He was q
heavy built and strong man. At one time
he was in the lire department, ana served
on the hook and ladder at the old head
quarters. Tor some months last year he
worked on Mrs Carnegle's
place at Cumberland. Coming
back to Savannah. he went with
the crowd of longshoremen to Charleston
After the season there he came back, and
for some time was idle This ard the love
of excitement. led him to enlist.
Lundy's wife is slld living in Savannah

a disposition which inclined him TO try 10
bully others when under the influence OF

position, and frequently sot iuto trouble.

NO YELLOW FEVER AT TAMPA.

Florida Health officer Says There
Arc No Suspicious Gases Even.
Health Officer LeHardy yesterday re-
ceived the following in reply to a query to
JacksonvilleY
"Dr, ]. c. LeHardy-President Hender-
son, resident in Tampa, wires me no
foundation for report of fever there Not
even a suspicious case of fever in camps
or city.
Joseph Y. Porter, State Health Officer"
Continued talk about the fever in Tampa
prompted Dr. LeIIardy to satisfy himself
by wiring the state health officer as Co
the facts. Before doing so however, he
anticipated the reply by reason Of the as
surances he has of hearing of the exist
ence OF fever there without making in
quiry, should there be any.
Mayor Meldrim has little apprehension
of the fever here. lie says in case il does
start in Tampa, the matter of quarantine
ing will be governed largely by The cir
cumstances. If the fever is carried there
from elsewhere, there viii be less reason
for quarantning than If IL started in
Tampa, which would strongly indicate the
possibility of its spreading.

BEFORE THE GRAND JURY.
EX-C0MMIssIONER KEHOE CUES
TONED ABOUT COUNTY AFFAIRS

The Charges Relating to the Gravel
for the County Roads, the Shortage
of Forage Purchased for the Con-
Wet Camps and the Alleged I'm
morality in the Camps, the Basis
of the Investigation Which the
Grand Jury Has Undertaken.
The grand jury Of the Superior Court
held quite an extended meeting yes
terday afternoon, adjourning about $50
o'clock, but there were no presentments
and no report to the court.
The time was taken up mainly with the
examination OF Mr.. William Kehoe, ex-
commissioner Of Chatham county, as a
witness with regard to certain matters
connected with the management of the
county's affairs.
An account Of the charges made by Mr..
Kehoe has already been given in the Morn
ing News, as he stated them on one or
Two occasions at meeting OF the board. A
committee was recently appointed by the
grand jury to investigate certain matters
in the County Commissioners office, and
the examination of Mr.. Kehoe was an ex-
tension, so TO speak, of the work of the
committee.
MIR. Kehoe refused to discuss the matter
after the grand jury adjourned, saying
the matters in question are now in their
hands, and he prefers to leave them alto
gether TO that body. Neither would any
Of the grand jurors talk Of what had
transpired, but from what could be gath
cred there are indications that the investi-
cation will be continued and the grand
jury viii cndeavor 10 get at everything
upon which the charges are based.
The charges relate to the gravel purchas-
ed TO harden The county roads, to an al
legged shortage of forage ordered for use
at the convict camps. to the bringing into
the city of negro sent to the chain-gang,
and afterward drawing a pair of shoes for
him, to alleged immortality al the convict
camps and other matters on this line, the
details of which have already been given.
Mr.. Kehoe went over the entire ground at
the last meeting of the County Commits
sioners which he attended and his reslg-
nation was handed in on the afternoon of
the same day.

Heart Beats in Sleep.
Neao Orleans Times Democrat.

New Orleans Times Democrat.
Why one takes cold easily lying
down with the clothes on, and why the
necessity OF cover during sleep. is
because nature takes the time when
one is lying down to give the heart
rest, and that organ consequently
makes ten strokes less per minute than
when one is IN an upright position
Multiply that by 60 minutes, and it
is 600 strokes. Therefore, in eight
hours spent in lying down, the heart
is saved nearly 5000 strokes, and as
the heart pumps six ounces OF blood
with each stroke it lifts $4,000 ounces
less of blood in a night of eight hours
spent in bed than when one is in an
upright position.
As the blood flows much more slow
ly through the veins when one is lying
down, one must supply with extra Gov
ering the warmth usually furnished by
circulation.
