BODIES REPORTED FOUND.

Coroner GOette, However, Could
Find No Foundation for the Report.
There was a rumor about the city yes
terday, which was given considerable ere
dence, to the effect that the bodies Of
Lieut.. Henry S. Morgan and the rigger,
Harry Smith, had been found on Hilton
Head beach.
The report came to Coroner Goette yes
terday morning, and he made an investi-
cation of 1t, but could get no confirmation.
There was much interest in the report in
the city yesterday, and an investigation
Of the matter was made by several parties,
it seems without result
1t was expected that the bodies would be
brought to the city on the Tybee train
last night, but they did not come, and
nothing more has been heard from them
except the report which came to the cor
oner. The steamer Dandy Jim was at
Tybee yesterday, continuing the search.

Col. J. H. Estin received a letter yester-

of the Third Regiment, United States Vol

Lieut. Estil says the regiment arrived
at Santiago Wednesday. Aug. II, but did
not disembark until the next day. 1t was
camped about two miles from the city. The
location is almost surrounded by noun
tains. The country, though destitute of
trees, is very lovely, ana apparently there
is no good reason why it should not be
healthy, unless 1t is the water

WORKED ALL OF SUNDAY.
Over 1000 Loads of Rubbish Have
Been Taken From the Streets.

The cleaning up of the city did not stop
yesterday, although 1t was Sunday, It
was felt that health conditions required
that the work Of removing the fast mould
ering vegetation from the city be kept up.
large force of men was employed all
day with an ample number of teams to
haul away the leaves and limbs of trees
as fast as collected. All the squares were
raked and then swept and the leaves and
other small waste on them gathered in
piles and sent 70 the crematory.
All Of the city north of Castor street is
now well cleaned From all over the city
the worst of the rubbish caused by the
storm has been removed. The clearing
gangs Will go over the town again, finish
ing up their work. On this round they
Will remove all tin roofs, ETC., that have
not been got off the streets by their own
ers After the previous storm this was
done and several days later some prop
erty owners wanted pay for the tin cart
ed off by the city.
The drainage work is the next serious
work to be attacked. All the bitches are
choked with rubbish 1t is ~inperatively
necessary that they be opened and a con-
siderable number Of men will be put on
them until they are restored to their
former condition. The double trunks in
Musgroye creek have been repaired sufti-
GENTLY to hold back the water from the
river.
Parties coming in from points outside
the city report that a musty, offensive
odor from decaying vegetation is appar-
ent at places. A stencil coming from a
point in the rear of the Central Railroad
shed is attributed to a lot of corn, which
had been cut in a field near the canal,
a few days ago and which has probably
rotted. Passengers on the morning train
last night referred to this nuisance, and
in the depot building it is understood
windows had to be shut down when the
wind came from the west.
The department of public works has
been considerably complimented for the
efficient way in which the needs of the
city have been met since the storm. The
record in clearing away the debris is
probably better than that of the previous
storm, although, of course, there are
probably not as many large trees 10 be
removed. So far over 1000 loads of waste
have been carted outside the town.
