ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest

distressing cases. If you need medi-

TAKING THE BRIDGE DOWN.
Street Railway Management Has Be-
gun Its Removal.

The Savannah. Thunderbolt and Isle OF
Hope Railway Company was given three
days more yesterday in which to begin the
work of removing the old bridge on Hab-
ersham street. over the tracks of the
Plant system. II was notified that if it
did not start the work by Saturday the
city would wait on it no further. On
Monday morning. under such circum-
stances, the city would put a force Of
hands at the work
Word to this effect was sent to the gen
eral manager of The railroad, Capt. J, II.
Johnston, by Commissioner Of Public
WORKS Willink yesterday morning. Inc
letter was sent under the instruction OF
the streets ana lanes committee, and after
reclung the fact that prior letters had been
written directing the removal of the
bridge, gave unul Saturday for the work
to begin. The notice had the desired eff
feet, and a gang of men was put TO work
tearing down the northern approach.
There is another matter between the
city and the railroad company in which
patience is believed 10 have long since ceas-
ed 70 be a virtue Section 1,304 of The city
code prescribes that each and every COM
pany or corporation operating any street
car line within the limits of the city of
savannah, shall water their tracks so as
TO eHectualiy keep the dust on the same
laid. Every company or corporation vio-
lating this ordinance shall be fined, on
conviction thereof in the Police Court Ia
the sum of so for each and every viola
ton of the same"
Three months ago the city served notice
on the railroad company that it must com
ply with the ordinance. The first point
raised by the company's officials was that
it did not have a sprinkler and could not
do the work. The city offered TO lend a
sprinkler. Then The company discovered,
1t is stated, that it did not have a team,
and therefore could not use The sprinkler.
WearyinS of this, a case was made against
the company in the police court as provid-
ed under the ordinances. A date was set
for hearing, bur postponement was Sc
cured by the company. There have been
other postponements, and up TO date there
has never been a hearing of the case, and
not a street has been watered.
An effort viii be made TO get the case
up soon The attention OF the company
having been called several times to its
failure to comply with the ordinance, it
would be possible to fine ii $50 for every
day it has failed or refused, to obey the
law. The city officials seem to be weary
of trying to get the ordinance complied
with. and if some thing cannot be done in
the court soon they may come to the con-
clusion that Ii is impossible to make the
company follow the ordinance referred to.

RABBITS RUN FROM MOSQUITOES.
A Tybee story Which Seems borne
out by All Reports.

An interesting mosquito story comes
from Tybee. According to reports these
pestiferous insects have been pretty thick
there of late, owing to the land breezes
which have blown them up from the
swamps and into the way of the residents
of the island
One of the engineers on the Tybee road
reported that he had seen quite a number
of rabbits on the track ahead of the train,
which would jump off as it came along
One Of the railroad officials determined TO
investigate the report out of curiosity
and he found that it was true.
The rabbits would go out on the
track, get out of the way when
train came along, and then
jump back on the track after it
had passed. The reason of this, it was
stated is that the mosquitoes were so bad
in the woods that the rabbits could not
stand the torment. The gentlemen who
saw them jump back on the track after
the train had passed, said he had seen
some of them paving and scratching as

The INVESTIGATION SLOW.
sUPT. CHAPLIN THE ONLY WITNESS
EXAMINED YESTERDAY.

Grand Jury Committee Asking Num-
erOus Questions About County At
fairs-The Missing sacks of Corn
Said to Have Been Accounted for
in the Weight of That Received.
Talk About Some Mules Rented to
the County for Road work by the
superintendent.
The investigation by the special commit
tee of the grand jury into county affairs
was continued yesterday afternoon in the
grand jury room of the Superior Court,
under the same secrecy, of course, as pre-
vailed the day before.
The committee regards the matter as
something that must yet be reported TO
the grand jury, and until it is 50 report
Cd it is not thought proper that it should
be made public. Information about the
investigation, therefore, is scarce, and
somewhat difficult to obtain.
1t is understood that MI william Ke-
hoe, who brings the charges against the
commissioners and their management of
county affairs, is acting before the COM
mittee somewhat in the capacity of cross
examiner, all those who testify being
sworn beforehand. Questions on all sorts
of subjects re.ating to county matters are
asked, and it looks now as if the investi-
cation would be strung out indefinitely.
The four commissioners in the
city, the clerk, the county superintendent
and one or two others were before the
committee the same as the day before.
The session, however, was given up TO the
es-1 mil of 4
Chaplin, who was asked numerous ques-
tons relating to the affairs under his man
agement.
Mr.. Kehoe has made several charges
against the superintendent, some of them
in an indirect way, but evidently applying
to him nevertheless. one of the subjects
taken up yesterday, it is said, was with
reference to the ten sacks of corn ordered
for use at the convict camps which was
said to have disappeared somewhere. 1t
is said the bills in the office with refer
ence to this corn were presented to the
committee yesterday, and on being figured
up, the proper number of pounds had been
accounted for, though an error had been
made IN putting down the number of
sacks received. If this Is true, it of
course, disposes of that phase of the mat
ter.
Another charge against Mr.. Chaplin, or
practically against him, was that the
county had rented a number of mules from
him to be used on some road work. This
was at time when mules and horses were
rented from a number of people for road
work. 1t is said it was with Chairman
Dale's consent that this was done, he hav-
ing decided not to purchase stock TO do
this work when there would have been
practically no need for it afterward.
Among the mules rented were some own
ed by Mr.. Chaplin.

Of the Peace B. J. McIntire, charging
him with malpractice in Office We're noIle
pressed in the Superior Court yesterday,
and thus removed from the criminal
docket
-Four special presentments We're return
ed by the grand jury some months ago
charging him with malpractice in office,
it being stated that he issued warrants
against some fifteen or twenty parties
charging them with cheating and swind-
ling, whereas as a matter of fact the
warrants were issued for no other pur-
pose than for collecting debts due to one
Jasper Evans by the parties arrested IN
der the warrants.
Mr.. E. A. Cults, who was chairman
of the grand jury committee upon whose
report, after investigation, the special
presen tments were found, wrote a letter
TO Solicitor General Osborne in which he
stated that McIntire seemed penitent for
what he had done, that he appeared to
think he had a right TO issue the war
rants under the code, and as he thought
the ends of justice had been served, he
asked the solicitor general if the cases
could not be dropped 1t was upon this
recommendation from Mr. Cults that the
cases were all nolle pressed

At the. same time there will be, we hope,
considerable good result from the non-par-
tisan sound money movement in the shape
Of advanced legislation on the lines pro-
posed by the commission. 1 have never
met any one who regretted taking a stand
for sound money, and have no doubt that
if the occasion arose again the number
who would prefer sound principle to so
called party fealty would be mach great

Chairman Dale Has Nothing to Say
in Reply TO MIR. Testers Card.
The County Commissioners have nothing

Lester, published yesterday, with refer
ence to the road work that has been done
in the county. They say that they are
satisfied that the work they have done
has been for the best interests Of the
county, and are not worrying much about
criticism.
Chairman ]. j. Dale was asked about the
matter yesterday, and said he had moth
ing to say; he did not feel called on to
make any reply and indicated that he
would pay no attention to the matter. 1t
was stated some time ago that the portion
of the battle-ground road to be paved was
talked of two years ago, Chairman Dale
said several days ago that no thought was
had of injuring the shell road. When seen
however, he did not care to say anything
