A HITCH In THE HAULING.
Brick Coming in Box Cars instead of
Gondolas put the contractors in
Hole Council meets tonight to con
slider the matter.

The brick company is putting the
paving brick in here at tremendous
rate but the hauling has not been
going on with equal degree of rapid
lty The contractors took the job
with the understanding that they
were to have the brick brought here
in gondolas. Instead of that they
have come in box cars. This necesi-
tates extra work and as the contract
was taken too low in the first place
the contractors want some arrange
ment made whereby they are to get
more than the contract price.
The council sees ejustice of this
and they will hold a session tonight
to fix the thing There are five car
loads of brick here now and more
will be sent at once

TO CONVENE IN MACON.
County Commissioners of the State to
Hold a Convention.

County Commissioners of the State to
Hold a Convention.
It is not known yet what Chatham 8
County Commissioners will do with refer
enee to the coming convention of County
Commissioners of Georgia, which will be
held in Macon some time next month.
The association of the County Commits
sioners of the state was organized in At
lanta last year, and now has members in
almost every county in the state Chat
ham county however, is one of the excep-
tons, though the commissioners may send
a delegate to the convention this year. if
a member of the board can spare the time
to make the trip.
Chairman Dale said yesterday he had
not given the matter any consideration as
yet, and could not say what would be
done The commissioners hold their next
monthly meeting on the second Thursday
in June, which will be June g. That will
probably give them time if they should
decide to send delegate to the conven-
ton.
One of the most important questions to
come before the convention is the discus
sion of the matter of uniform system
of county roads throughout the state.
County Commissioners in every section of
the state have of late years been devot-
ing more attention than ever to good
roads, and the subject is one in which all
counties are greatly interested. 1t is said
that every county commissioner in the
state win be invited to attend the conven-
ton, and an unusually large meeting is
expected.

DRAYTON STREET NOW OPEN,
Considerable Dressing UP Remains
to BE Done, However.

Considerable Dressing Up Remains
to BE Done, However.
While the Drayton street pavement was
completed to Anderson street yesterday,
there is stin much dressing up to be done
In places. This VIII probably require at
least two weeks, after which the pave
ment will be inspected by Public Works
Commissioner Willink and other officials
to determine whether 1t is acceptable
1t was reported to the commissioner
office at noon yesterday that the pave
ment was finished. The contractors were
at once notified 20 clear all streets block
AIDED in consequence of the work, at the
earliest possible moment The obstruc-
tons consist of dirt piled on several cross
streets, which now greatly interfere with
travel, by making wagons take a circuit
GUS route from some localities to get to
Drayton street. Unless this is done by a
specified time, the commissioner viii pro-
coed to have it done, charging the amount
against the paving company.
Another thing to he given immediate at
tention is the elevated side walks as
result of lowering the grade of the street.
The commissioner saws the walks will not
all be graded at once, but he will see to 1t
that attention is given the dangerous ele-
VaUions. Some are over foot above the
curb, which makes ii a risky matter for
pedestrians not familiar with the walks.
The court house walk, which was too high
for safety, has already been lowered and
the paving stones replaced. Within a
month however, it is the intention to
have all the walks cut down 20 their
proper elevations in order that they may
be uniform throughout.
That the pavement will be accepted
without trouble seems now to be gener-
ally agreed. Commissioner Wilink said
he had not examined it closely, but from
general appearances. he thought there
would be no objection to it. For time
the grade was thought TO be defective be-
tween Oglethorpe avenue and Liberty
street because of water standing in gut
teTs after rains. This was found to be
due to the fact that sand and other accr-
mutations stopped the flow from the paw
ing, but when cleared, the drainage was
found to be all rlsht. Before being ac-
cepted, hcv ever, it win probably be
sprinklod after which the authorities will
so along and determine the grade for
themselves. If found satisfactory the US
ual recommendation Will be sent Council
that lhe pavement be accepted

a curve when the passenger train was
sighted. Two or three brakes were out
of order and failed TO work properly, but
that did not affect the situation. In the
little time available the heavily loaded
freight train, going twenty miles an hour,
could not have been stopped under any
circumstances, they said They and En-
gineer Nix agreed that everything posi-
bic was done to avert the collision after
the train ahead was sighted. Engineer
Nix remained on his engine, he stated, IN
Ill within 100 feet of the military train, and
Conductor Mundy escaped down the lad
der when the trains were about 800 feet
apart
The evidence given by Engineer W. H.
Green of section No. 8, which, It is as
serted by Engineer Nix, did not carry, nor
blow, the proper signals, was brief. Engi-
neer Green is now a Southern railroad
engineer. He was borrowed" by the
Florida Central and Peninsular. temper

road, he having been master machinist at
Savannah at one time and thoroughly ac-
quainted with The road from Columbia to

two green lights and two green flags, the
proper signals TO show that another sec
ton of train No. 81 was behind. He pull
ed one long and two short whistles as he
passed the siding, and received in return
Two short sharp tO0ts from the freight
engine, and a 'go-ahead" signal from a
lantern from rear end of freight train.
His fireman, T. S. Nelson, colored, tesu-
fled similarly.
The investigation will be continued to-
night. nm effort will be made to secure
the presence of the colored fireman of the
freight train, who Is regarded as a most
important witness. The engineer and
conductor of the fourth section, the
wrecked military train, will also be ex-
amined. The Florida Central and PENN
sular is having the testimony taken steno-

NOT MANY AFTER HONORs,
AIdermanic Candidates Are Rather
Dimdent for Some Reason.

AIdermanic Candidates Are Rather
Dimdent for Some Reason.
The near approach of the time for Coun-
Gil to elect an alderman in place of Alder
man Hull, resigned, does not seem to
bring forth many candidates. It was ex-
pected there would be quite large num-
Der in the field before now, but for some
reason those who would have a show of
election, are not coming to the front.
An alderman stated to a Morning News
representative yesterday that he had ask
ed several to allow the use of their names.
They have declined however giving as a
reason that their business duties would
not permit their undertaking public du-
ties. Whether very many have been
spoken to is not known, though it is prob
able they have, since the election is to
be held June l.
Some believe there is a slight dfidence
on the part of candidates, who have
scruples on being hauled in at the rear
door as 1t We're. Others have different
notions claiming it is so late in the term
and that a new alderman could not hope
to gain record In so short a time There
is a natural ambition by each alderman
to make his department show to the best
advantage, which cannot well be done
without ample time.
There is no question however, about
there being plenty of good men In Savan-
nah to so on the board, and it is believed
one viii be found In a few days 1t is said
he would not be placed on committees
where there was too much work, in view
of the time to be served. With this in
view no one would likely decline if pre-
vailed on, especially where the only rea-
son fer not wanting to serve Is business
interferences. The probability is there
are several willing to take the position
who have not yet come to the surface.

Question of His Position Has Been
Referred to the County Attorney.
The question of the right of County
Commissioner r. Newell West to hold his
position as such after having volunteered
IN the Uuited States army, has been re-
ferred to the county attorney for an opin-
ion, and this opinion will be given at the
next regular meeting of the board.
Commissioner West went as first lieuten-
ant of Company d. of the Savannah Vol
uuteer Guards The County Commission
ers did not consider the matter at first
but it has been considered best to have
the question definitely settled
The commissioners are required by law
to elect within thirty days when there is
a vacancy on the board, and the next
regular meeting win just about give them
time should it be found that Mr.. West $
position on the board is vacant by reason
of his having gone into the army
There are several members of the board
who do not think that Mr.. West would
lose his seat, but still the question is
legal one, aud will have to be looked INTO
from that standpoint.

wEsLEY's SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Celebrated Its Anniversary With
Flowers and Songs.


Wesley Monumental Church never pre-
scented a more beautiful appearance than
it did last night on the occasion of the
thirteenth anniversary If Its Sabbath
School.
Lilies and palms in profusion adorned
the chancel of the church, and above all,
the motto Suffer little children to come
unto me- stood out brilliantly in gold let
ters on a white back ground. Two very
pretty stars were hung in the chancel in
memory of two little members of the Sun

The programme consisted of songs by
the Sunday School children, a prayer by
Mr.. 2. f. Brown, a scripture lesson by
Mr.. c. II. Carson, a recitation by Master
Rex OliverOs, a solo by Mrs. N. J. Acker-
mann, manager of the infant class, and
an address by Mr.. w. B. Stubs. An
attractive feature was a song by six lit
tie girls, Daisy Austin, Carlotta Wick
enburg, Catherine Lee, Vivian Jones, Ell
berta Griffin and Lillian Williams.
The annual report of the superintendent,
Mr.. C. V. Snedeker, shows that the school
enjoys continued prosperity. There are
now enrolled in the school thirteen officers,
thirty-one teachers, 1888 scholars in the in
FAINT class and 202 in the main school,
making a grand total of 379 on the rolls.
The missionary collection during the year
amounted to the sum of S1S657, a very
creditable showing.
Over 100 little tots occupied seats in
front of the chancel, making a lovely pic
ture In their white dresses and colored
ribbons Behind them was the choir, COM
posed of Mrs. A. S. Smith, Miss Stella
Pease, Mr.. A. B. Brooks and Bir. E. X.
Demmond. Miss Annie Haines, the organ

companied by Mr.. F. A. Snedeker on the
cornet
Rev. o. F. Cook of Grace Church, at the
request of Rev. Branch, the pastor, pro-
nounced the benediction.
