CoLLINsVILLE BILL AMENDED.
CITY ELECTION MANAGERS WILL
NOT HAVE TO OWN 81, 800.

Bills Repeating the water Commits
sion, Police Commission and the
AnIi-TwO-Ohice Act. Signed by the
Governor and Are Now Laws.
Chatham County Legislation in
Better shape Than That of Any
other Large Constituency.
Atlanta, Dec. s.-Legislation affecting
Savannah and Chatham county is in bet
ter shape. probably than that of any other
large constituency represented in the leg
islative assembly of the state.
All the bills introduced by the Chatham
members with the exception Of two,
which were handed in only this week,
have passed the lower house, and are now
ready for action in the Senate. The two
bills still remaining in the House are the
Warsaw charter and the oyster law
amendment. The latter may reach the
Senate the first of next week.
To-day the registration bill of Mr.. Nc
McDonough was read the first time in the
Senate, while the bill changing the time
for the election OF municipal officers of Sa-
vannah was read the second time, and
the Collinsville bill was put in shape by
amendment so that it can pass without
further delay
The amendment to the Collinsville bill
which was presented by Mr.. Grovenstein
is in accordance with the recent proposal
of Council. 1t provides that municipal
taxes shall not be collected by the city
of Savannah from the Colinsvile district
until Bolton, New Houston and Henry
streets, and Ott Harmon and Pau.sen
streets shall have been opened, levelled
and graded by the city of Savannah.
Mr. Grovenstein has also prepared an
amendment 10 the McDonough regstra-
ton bill which is of great importance.
This amendment strikes out that portion
which provides that managers of elections
shall be worth $500 in realty, or free
holders with that amount of property re-
turned for taxation. Mr.. Grovenstein
takes the position that this would have
a tendency to debar otherwise good citi-
zens, especially among the younger ele-
ment, from filing these places. and il is
in their interest that he offers his amend
ment, which Mr. McDonough has accepted
Gov. Gambler has approved three of the
Savannah local bills, and they are now
laws. They are the blls repeating the
Water Commission, the Police Commission
and that repeating the act prohibiting one
man from holding two offices in Chatham
county.

UNDER CANVAS SHEDS.
How FIOrida's Rig PineappIes Are
Protected From Frost.

Orlando, Fla, Dec. Son the mornings
of Dec. 6 and frosts visited this section.
Eariy garden vegetables in exposed places
were cut off, but no damage was done
to either oranges or pineapples. or TO the
trees or plants.
II was cold enough. however. to put the
pineapple growers on notice, and several
of them kept up fires inside of their sheds.
Others who had made the necessary prep
aration covered their entire sheds with
canvass, so that the cold wind could not
get inside. Hon. Isaac Hopper had his
entire three acre pinery so covered He
has his canvass made up in large sheets
and mounted on rollers, so that all that
was necessary was to get out the rolls.
place them in position, and unrol them
like the canvass awnings over store fronts.
Three acres of canvas is an item. but it
pays. Others are adopting the same
method and with satisfactory results.
A wholesale dealer in fruits from one Of
the larger cities of the North is here look
ing over the field. The s. 6 and 7-pound
pineapples are a revelation to him as ne
has dealt in the little red Spanish fruit
from the West Indies heretofore. He
on its stem and said: Such pineapple
as that would readily retail at S1.25 in my
town"
When asked about the possibility of
overproducton, he promptly said that the
market would bear all of such fruit that
Florida can produce. There is no danger
of overproduction.
Most of the oranges of this section have
been marketed. The price has been good,
not less than 81 per box on the trees, while
in some cases, for High grade fruit, as
usual, S2.75 has been paid. The crop is
light compared 10 the old-tme crops, bur
slowly the groves that have been prop
erly cared for are coming back to their
former fruitfulness.
Most of the winter residents who spent
the summer in the North have returned,
and occasional tourits are dropping in.
1t is early for this class. They will nearly
all wait until after the holidays before
coming South. Several of the resort ho-
tells have already opened nearly a month
earlier than in former years. The San
Juan of this place has been open about
three weeks and is doing a fair business.
The Park House at Maitland is open with
a prospect of a good seasons run. The

Goodyear HarbOr Work at Bruns-
wick Was Not Expensive.
Brunswick, Dec. S.--The charges reported
filed with the war department rejecting
on the Goodyear dynamite work on the
Brunswick bar, are denounced here as in
famous and capable of being proved un-
true by official records.
They are in effect that the government
is paying for the Goodyear work greatly
in excess of prices allowed for similar work
on other bar deepenings. The facts in the
case are being compiled, and when pre-
scented to the war department will show
that for $4,000 paid him Goodyear has
accomplished what the army engineers es-
timated and requested an appropriation OF
over 100000 for.

that scene in August, 1881, when q
young girl saved from death whole

remember that out west in that year
on stormy night a hurricane blew
down part of a railroad bridge. A
freight train came along, and it
crashed into the ruin, and the en-
gineer and conductor persisted. There
was girl living in her fathers cabin,
near the disaster, and she heard the

Amid all that horror the lantern
went out Crawling sometimes, and
sometimes walking over the slippery
rails, and over the trestlework, she
came to the other side of the river.
She wanted to get to the telegraph
station, where the express train did
not stop, where the danger might
be telegraphed to the station
where the train did stop. The
train was due in a few minutes.
She was one mile off from the tele-
graph station, but fortunately the
train was late. With cut and bruised
feet she few like the wind. Coming
up to the telegraph station, painting
with almost deadly exhaustion, she had
only strength to shout, THE bridge is

and could hardly be resusciated. The
message was sent from that station to
the next station, and the train was
halted, and that night that brave girl
