The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-08-31

Editor Morning News: According to
the published statements Waters road
seems to have been given 22O5 cubic yards
of gravel to the mile, while the Middle
ground road received only 1,4O0 cubic
yards to the mile, both roads, it is stated,
being covered to the same width. The
gravel bought for Waters road appears
to have cost $2.S66 per mile while that for
the battle-ground road cost only 81, $40 per
mile. What Is the reason for the differ
ence?
Again, according to the published state
ments the grading on Waters road, to-
gether with the hauling of 22O5 cubic
yards of gravel an average distance of
over 215 miles and the laying and rolling
cost S7l6.S5 a mile, while the grading of
about a mile of the battle-ground road
and the laying and rolling on it of ! 400
cubic yards hauled an average distance of
about a quarter of a mile seems to have
cost 1880, some $643 more.
Can you explain why a quantity of
gravel hauled a quarter of a mile and
put down on the battle-ground road
should cost Sc per cent more than another
quantity of the same gravel over so per
cent. larger in bulk and hauled over ten
times as far, put down on Waters road?

Atlanta, Ga, Aug 3.-Capt. K. T.
Mitchell, veteran OF two wars, took NOR
phine in hotel at the corner of Wall and
Lloyd streets this morning. Several days
ago Mitchell went to the hotel where he
sought death this morning, saying he was
a contractor, and had left his home as
the result of family differences. He said
little of himself, and little attention was
paid him by those in the hotel.
This morning a servant went to wake
him and found Mitchell in a super. A
policeman was called in and began an In
vestigation. The officer found a paper
with small quantity of morphine In il,
near the bed and there was an unopened
bottle of laudanum. In a book was found
letter addressed 10 John Campbell. The
residence or place of business of John
Campbell was not given, neither was there
any clue in the letter as TO. which partie-
ular Campbell it was intended for, the
letter simply read: '7:S0 O'Clock, Aug. %,

The officer telephoned for a Grady Hos
pital ambulance and had him taken to
that place. At the hospital the physi-
clans went to work on him with a deter
mination to save his life, and the physi-
clans say there is a chance for the Old

AUTHOR OF THE PEACE SCHEME.
London Graphic Claims the Ideas
Originated with Lord Salisbury.

London, Aug. Sl.-The Daily Graphic
says that Lord Salisbury in 1888 commune
Gated to Emperor William a memorandum
showing the tremendous cost of armed
Europe. Emperor William was so i'm
pressed that he privately intmated his in
tention to summon a disarmament con
gress.
The semi-official German press ventilated
the idea, with the result that so much an
imosity was revealed on The part of
France that the Kaiser abandoned the pro-
jeet
The st. Petersburg correspondent of the
Times says: Count Muravieff, the Rus
sian foreign minister, declares that the
idea originated entirely with Emperor
Nicholas There is much scepticsim in
diplomatic circles as TO any practical re-
suits from a conference, and it is admitted
on all sides that the circular came as the
greatest surprise"
The Paris correspondent of the Times
still insists that M. Faure and the French
ministers knew nothing before hand and
and that the Cars proposal has plunged
the whole official world into terrible en-
barrassment and almost into stupefaction.

Improving the park Extension.

Editor Morning News: In behalf of hun
dreds of workingmen who traverse the pa
rade ground, going to and coming from
work. day after day and week after week
I want to thank you for the article in to-
days Morning News, suggesting that
walks be laid through 1t. I walk across II,
through its narrow footpaths twice a day
in rain and sunshine, and I would appre-
clate anything, in the shape of good
walk. 1t might be said that I can walk
around the place on the alleged sidewalks
but the "cut across lots" saves minutes
when minutes are valuable, Those who
know what it is to get up at 6 o'clock, eat
breakfast and walk a mile and half to
get to work at seven, know that every step
counts. Why cannot direct and cross walks
be laid off through the parade ground like
those through the park? Such walks would
not interfere with the use of the place as
driY ground, at least it need not with
our war soldiers, who know that soldiers
do not drill on carpets. Let me add my
voice to the general demand for improv-
ing the parade ground. A Worl1ingman.

CASE OF CAPT. GARTER.
His Punishment May Not BE as Sc

Court Martial. -44a1

Court Nart1ul -tt.tl
From the Baltimore Sum-
Washington, Aug. 2S.-Secretary Alger
has taken up the papers in the case of
Capt. Oberlin NJ. Carter, the army en-
gineer officer who was tried at Savannah,
Ga, for alleged fraud and COLLISION with
contractors on river and harbor work.
The case has been pending year, and
has excited the greatest interest in the
service and enlisted the attention of a
great many government officials. Those
who know some of, Secretary Ayers
views in the matter state that he is not
inclined 10 be over lenient with the ac-
cused officer and that the vast amount OF
influence which Capt Carter has been able
to muster will not count for much when
the findings of the court are considered.
Capt. Carriers friends have worked in
defatigably in his behalf, and there is
every indication that the sentence of the
court, which included dismissal impris-
onment fine and ostracism from the
army, will be materially modified. 1t was
stated at the Department by an official
who should know something Of the result
that The seriousness of the charges
against Capt. Carter cannot be ignored.
and that officer will be at least dismissed"
This is an indication of the charitable
manner with which department officials
are inclined to regard the case.
