schools Issued Yesterday.
Superintendent Ashmore of the public
schools sent out eighty-fve cards of ad-
mission yesterday to children who have
been on the waiting list. These children
can get in the schools to-day. There are
yet 106 on the waiting list, or, in other
words, there are that many white child
rem who cannot get into the schools
Supt. Ashmore thinks it likely that many
Of those yet waiting will soon have va
cancies found for them. Many of those
who will get in to-day will do 50 through
children, who are away on vacation trips
having not yet returned. The superb
tendent viii not hold their places in the
schools, Notwithstanding the children
having been on the rolls at the close of
the last term. The rule of the schools
is that no seats shall be held after the
day of opening.
There are yet vacancies in some of The
grades in the white schools, but they are
those for which there are no applicants.
Those who want to enter the schools and
cannot are applicants for seats in grades
that are already filled to their limit.
Supt. Ashmore says everything in con-
nection with the schools is running as
smoothly as he could wish; that the work
Is getting on well and that pupils and
teachers have gotten right down to bust

OPENING UP THE WIRES.
II. C. & p. the Only Line Now Not
working south.


The Plant Systems telegraphic commun-
ication to the South and West has been
restored and the Florida Central and Pc
ninsular is now the only road whose wires
are not open.
All the men that can be used to ad-
vantage are now at work on the Florida
Central and Peninsular's roadway between
here and Jacksonville. 1t will probably be
some time before the road can be put in
permanent repair but it is thought trains
will be able to run over it slowly by Fri
day or Saturday. The damage is by no
means slight, washouts being frequent and
often long and deep. The 150-foot trestle
over Malards swamp was swept away
by the tide and left several hundred feet
from its proper place. Between Dorches-
ter and Liberick and south of the latter
place there are big washouts. The tele-
graph lire has not been restored far be-
yond Ways.
The Florida Central and Peninsular
trains still run between here and Jackson
vile over the Plant System, though the
Central Railroads depot is yet used.

Work on Mortar Batteries to Begin
in Two Months.
A force of men is now at work at Tybee
building permanent barracks for the gar
rison. The barracks are to be to the
southwest Of the Notifications.
The workmen are now erecting store
buildings for the commissary department
and quarters for the officers. AS soon as
this work is completed, they will begin on
the barrack buildings. A force is already
engaged in preparing the ground that is
to be covered by the barracks.
The battery of heavy artillery under
Lieut.. Hayden that now forms the garri-
son on the island is located in temporary
barracks to the southeast of the tortifica-
tons. The buildings the men occupy they
built themselves.
A big mortar battery, to supplement that
of the four eight-inch rifles in the forth
fications, Is soon to be put in place. Sepa-
rate Notifications will be built for the
mortars. The work win be commenced
by Jan. ].
1t is not known how many of the mortars
there will be. II was originally intended
to have sixteen, but it is understood there
has been some change. Whether this
change is an increase or diminution of the
number is not known, but there can be no
question as to the formidable nature of
the fort when the fire of the mortars may
be added to that of the rifles. The mortars
viii be of the size always used, Pinch.

Fire Chief Mcguire said yesterday it
win be several days before the new La
France engine can be put in service.
There are a few touches to be made to
the engine, the harness is yet to be swung
and properly fitted to the horses. There
is also another horse to buy.
BY the end of the week, however, the
latest addition to the departments appa-
ratus will probably be ready for use, and
take its place in the front rank at fire
headquarters. AS has been stated, the OBJ
ject in locating the engine there is to
have 1t near the valuable properties con-
gested along the river from West Broad
street, west. But before effective fire
fighting can be done in that locality, no
matter how powerful the apparatus, new
and larger mains will be required. The
main reason the rice mill fire was not
fought to better advantage was on this
account
