SURFACE WATER WELLS.

DIR. LeHardy Wants Them Dispensed
with In Laurel Grove Cemetery.
Health officer LeHardy has directed
that the use of surface wells In Laurel
Grove cemetery shall be discontinued.
There is an ordinance prohibiting the use
of these wells where the citys water
mains are extended into the territory
where they are used. AS the city pipes
are run into the cemetery 1t is the in
tention to have the wells filled. or the
pumps removed as the case may be.
Dr. LeHardy's reason for enforcing the
ordinance is purely from a health stand
point. The water from the wells and par
ticularly in the vicinity of the cemetery,
is anything else but healthy for those who
drink 1t. Some OF them are In the ceme-
terry lots, the supply OF water being used
for the purpose of sprinkling plants and
flowers but there is danger of the water
being used by those not acquainted with
Its impurity. Hence, the intention Is TO
dispense with them entirely.

inland. Later he will go to Santiago, and
then to Havana.
Discussing the work in prospect the
archbishop to-day said: My mission is
one of a priest and of an American citi-
zen as well. While striving to watch
over the religious interests of the Catholic
Church, helping che bishops in the work

Il saw President Mckinley this morn
ing and had a very satisfactory interview
with him. All the relations between the
church in Spain and in the two islands
have ceased, so far as the former exercised
any authority Heretofore, you know the
priests were often appointed from Madrid.
and Spain exercised great influence and
authority, both directly and indirectly All
this IS now ended and, for the present,
the priest and laity come directly under
the supervision of the church at Rome.

New Orleans, but I am not going to Porto

LIEUT.. HoBsoN AT WASHINGTON.
He Presents Capt. McCaIIa's Report
Regarding Maria Teresa.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Constructor Hob
son arrived in Washington to-day from
Norfolk and came directly to the navy
department. He has just returned from
his trip on the Vulcan to Cat Island, the
scene of the casting away of the Maria
Teresa. He brought with him the report
of Capt McCalla, who was in charge of
the expedition sent on the Vulcan to en-
deavor to save the vessel.
The report is merely an elaboration of
the history of the journey and its results
contained in the telegraph report to the
department, and where it touches upon
the present condition of the Teresa makes
the wreck appear more hopeless than
Capt. McCala's report. And this state
ment was strongly reinforced by Construc-
tor Hobsons verbal report to Acting Sec
rotary Allen to-day.
Capt. McCalla resumes his duties as cap
tain of the Norfolk navy yard. Construc-
tor Hobson goes to Annapolis to take up
the direction of his course in naval archi-
lecture. He was DESTROYS of returning to

NORTH GEORGIA CONFERENCE.
Conference Passes Upon the Charnc'
ters of All the Preachers.


Augusta, Ca, Nov. 26-The session of
the North Georgia conference to-day was
occupied with the applications for dea-
cons orders and the passage of the char
acters of all the preachers in the con-
ference.
After each name is called, the bishop
asks: Is there anything against him" If
no objections are stated in reply to this
inquiry the preacher is called upon for a
short statement concerning his year 5
work. Then his presiding elder adds his
Endorsement and then the conference
passes his character, and votes the desired
degree, or continuance in the same.
Objections were raised in only two cases
to-day When Rev. william A. Brooks
was called in the Griffin district, mem
her said the brother would not pay his
debts. and that upon being requested by
mail to settle up replied he would not.
There YVES quite a lot of talk, and at
last one friend Of his arose and said that
Mr. Brooks would pay the debt upon his
return home The bishop then put the
vote. and Mr.. Brooks was elected by a
vote of So TO 80.
Rev. w. Jones had objection raised 20
him because he abandoned the charge to
which he was appointed by the last con-
ference. During 1897 Rev. Jones was in
charge OF the OOuln odibW4AAi I'll SoAhs at
MiIledgeville. in the Augusta district, and
was well liked by his people. However,
Rev. Bob Cooke, an evangelist, came and
nitched tent near his church. and he did
not like IT, He said So but somehow
his people liked Cooke, and went to near
him. Rev. Cooke tried to get the assist
once of Rev. Jones, but in return Rev.
Jones only closed his doors to him, be-
cause he was not a licensed preacher.
This made his people mad. In fact, some
members of his church refused to go ana
hear him. Conference time came around,
and Rev. Jones hoped to be moved, but
Mr.. Dixon. his presiding elder, thought
he ought to stay. and sent him back.
When Mr.. Jones went back, he became
so discouraged with his reception that he
packed UP and left.
Bishop Duncan gave Mr.. Jones lee
ture for his act of INSTRUMENTATION, and
upon his expression of sorrow and prom
Use not to do so any more the conference
passed his character, and he was advanced
to the fourth year
Nine new preachers were admitted to the
conference to-day. Bishop Duncan
preached a most excellent sermon to the
newcomers in conference.
The new preachers admitted were: Roy
S. Sibiey Benjamin H. Mobley, Albert J.
Sears, George p. Gary Charles G. farrell,
Taylor W. Rodgers, J. Thomas Robbins.
Sam C. Cowan, John w. Potter.
Tomorrow all the pUlpits in Augusta viii
be filed by visiting conference ministers.
The conference has a new treasurer The
Rev. H. ]. Adams who has been acting
in that capacity for years, has been trans
