DEFENDS THE CAR LINES.
Alderman Davis Says the Public, Not
the Railway, Is Being Considered.

the halfway. Is Being Considered.
The Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of
Hope Railway has begun the work of
doubie-tracking Abercorn street. The first
piece of double-track is being laid from
Broughton to St. Julian street Curves
are being put in at Broughton and Aber-
corn and Broughton and ST. Julian streets,
connecting the Abercorn line with the
lines on these two streets.
Superintendent ]. T. Lewis, when asked
about the matter, said it was the inten-
ton of the company to make use of this
connection for the West Broad street cars,
which will be run through the market on
st. Julian street, back to BrOughton on
ADercorp, and thence 10 West Broad
street The original plan was to run the
West Broad street cars on st. Julian to
Habersham street, and thence to Brough-
ton BY cutting in at Abercorn con-
siderable distance Is saved.
Alderman Davis, chairman of the street
ana lane committee, when asked about the
matter, said that these changes were made
with the coHsefit Of the committee.
While we are about it" said Alderman
Davis, ''our Intention is to get just as good
a system as we possibly can and that is
just the line of action on which the COM
mttee is proceeding. If the present street
railway system were torn out entirely we
would never get another as good. 1t is
not the advantage Of the railroad that we
consider, but the convenience of the pa
irons of the road which will result from
these extra facilities"
Alderman Davis was very indignant
when told that it was reported that the re-
tention of Duffy street by the railway
company and the placing of the curves on
Abercorn street were the consideration al
lowed by the committee for the removal of
the Broughton street SWITCH and the sub
sutuuon of asphalt for granite block on a
portion of the street. He emphatically de-
nounced the charge as false The retention
or the Duffy street track was at the sug-
Sestion of the committee, he said, as An
derson streets is too narrow for a double
track.
He was asked if the company would be
required to replace the present light rail on
Duffy street with heavy rail, and replied
that any portion of the track which was
renewed would have to be reaid with rail
weighing 80 pounds or more. There is some
fiat rail on Duffy street, he said, which will
have TO be replaced with T rail.
While it is true. that Anderson street is
too narrow for a double track, and that
this may justify the retention of the track
on Duffy street, it is evidently money in
the pocket of the railway company to do
so, as ii is thereby saved the expense of
laying new track the length of Anderson
street. which would have to be of so pound
rail. The consent of Council will prob
ably be required to give the company a
legal right to retain the track on Duffy
street, as under the agreement with the
city this track was required to be removed

City DiSpcnsary Scrap.


City Dispensary Scrap.
Mayor Meldrim had City Physician r.
S. Kenan and Mr.. a. N. O'Keefe, keeper
of the city dispensary, before him yesler-
day on account Of little scrap which took
place at the dispensary the night before.
DR.. Kenan, in company with DR.. E. f.
Rollins. called at the dispensary for the
purpose of demanding an explanation from
Mr.. O'Keefe of statements which ne un-
derstood the latter to have made rejecting
upon his ability as a physician. There
were some warm remarks the lie was
passed on both sides, and then DR.. Kenan
undertook TO belabor Mr.. O'Keefe with a
stick. This the latter avoided by ducking
behind the counter He then proceeded to
retaliate by firing all the ink bottles and
scale weights he could lay his hands on
at DR.. Kenan. The last weight thrown
SMASHED a glass in the door of the dispen-
sary. Mr.. O'Keefe then secured his ps-
tol, and started out on the street after DR..
Kenan, who had already left The place.
DR., keenan,, being unarmed. retreated down
Charlton street, and Mr.. O'Keefe returned
to the dispensary. Or. Rollins took no
part in the fray
Both being city officials, Mayor Mel
drim had them appear before him and took
the statement of each. Drs Duncan and
Owens of the sanitary board were present
at the interviews. The natural supposi-
ton is that the matter will be brought be-
fore the sanitary board for Investigation.
Mayor Meldrim said he did not know thar
this would be done. He appeared to re-
gard the affair as Of sl,ghr importance.

LIFE INSURANCE IN WAR.
Defenders of Their Country Have
Few PreIiminaries to See To.

Defenders of Their Country Have
Few PreIiminaries to See To.
With war talk rife, it is a matter of
interest to the holders Of Insurance poll
cies to know what they would have to
do to retain them in the event of their
being called upon to shoulder a rife and
get in the game.
A talk with an insurance agent yester-
day disclosed an easy method that is fol-
lowed by nearly all insurance companies
When policy holder is about to go forth
with his shield, with a good chance of
being brought back in the way the Spar
tan mother advised her son to make his
temperance, all he has to do to keep
up his policy is to make application
through his local agent or directly to
headquarters for a permit This is grant
ed without hesitation, and the policy
holder can then go forth to battle assured
that his beneficiaries will not suffer if he
is killed.
There is a slight expense attached to
the permits being granted. This is o.
cover the additional risk and to keep the
companies above water while many of
their insured are off getting themselves
shot at. The permits specify that these
eddltions to the premiums must be paid
and state that they will be charged up
against the account of the policy holders
and kept as leins against the policiw
They are charged against the face of the
policies and are deducted therefrom if
the war experience of the holders sends
them on the long journey.
The permits authorize those to whom
they are issued to serve in the army in
declared war, the privilege being all
ways allowed them to serve in the sup
preston of riot and in doing police duty.
The equitable increase in the rate in
time of war is not burdensome to the
soldier while he is away, as the yearly
charges are made and run without in
terest.
There is no difficulty about securing the
permits. They are readily furnished A
policy holder, after applying, does not
even have TO wait until the permit comes
as his application is recorded at the Of
fces of the company and he can go on to
the wars with his mind at rest in so far
as the knowledge that a shot through the
head or heart win not cut his wife and
children out of their insurance money.
one of the companies recently issued A.
proclamation 10 the effect that its policy
holders Will not have to apply for ner-
mits If they go to war. 1t will make no
increased charge in its rates.

TO DECREASE EXPENSES.
Hundreds of Men Employed in
Arsenals Cease Work.
CONTRACTS FOR ORDNANCE.
They are Being Terminated as Fast as
Possible and In the ouartermaster's and
Engineers Department Large Reduc-
tons Being Made.

Washington, Aug. Rctrench-
ment in nearly ali branches OF the
army is following close upon the ces-
sation of hOstiIities. Notably is this
| the case in the ordnance, quartermaS-
ter's and engineer bureaus, where the
need for the supplies required and
the men employed for the eXigencies
of war no longer exists. In the ord
nance bureau the force at the various
arsenals is to be reduced in all cases
where this can be accomplished with
out detrimemt to the service The
Rock Island arsenal probably will be
affected more than any other. There
before the war about 24O men were
employed. When the peace protocol
was signed there were 1000 men en-
gagged and orders have been issued
which will reduce this number by
two-thirds.
Before and during the war many
contracts were made with ordnance
firms for supplying material. In many
cases these were made conditional, so
that they could be terminated within
a few days after the cessation of hos
tilities, and the department has in
every cast dNdlltu itStll Oh lniS DGlNl-
lege. At the end of the civil war the
government had outstanding con-
tracts for furnishing a large number
of big sea coast projectiles, but as
these were regarded Unnecessary
when hOstilities came to an end, ar
rangements were made with the com
panies by which their contracts were
cancelled. At the present time con
tracts are in existence also for fur
nishing sea coast proiectiIes, but as
he government is deSiTous of obtain
ing all contracted for, there will be
no necessity to resort to such action
as was taken at the close of the civil
war.
The quartermaster's department is
dispensing as rapidly as possible with
such of the transports that were
chartered and for which there is now
no necessity. Considerable labor is
involved in this work as board of
survey has to be appointed to deter
mine the various questions that arise
pending the return Of the vessels TO
their owners.
In the engineers department the
services of electricians. mechanics and
laborers engaged in the work of har-
Dor and river mine defense and of
boatmen employed to patrol the ad-
Jacent waters to warn approaching
crafts of their danger, also are being
discharged as rapidly as is consistent
with the good of the service.

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. w. Z. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strup-
gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
DEAR Mrs. PNKHAM:-It is with
pleasure that ! add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine. :
After the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor L had Ieucorrh9a badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
Il took medicine from a good doctor.
bu1 it seemed to do no good. | was
becoming alarmed over my condition.
when l read your advertisement in a
paper. L sent at once for a bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
ponnd, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle | felt so much better that |
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and well as any
one.
9 think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised. and
recommend it to every lady meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unpreparcd. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs Pax,
ton had written to Mrs. PinkhanI be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pipkham's
address is Lynn, Mass.
