TeIfair Hospital Renovated and Inn
prOVements Made.


The Telfair Hospital will be opened again
on Oct. 1 for the reception and treatment
of patients. As is generally known, this
institution is confined to women and dur
ing the year many take advantage of ats
fine facilities and the acknowledged supe-
rior character of its service generally.
There will be no change in the personnel
of its corps during the coming year, but
there viii lie many advantages for the
treatment of patients which have not
heretofore been at hand.
The hospital building has been entirely
painted in The interior recently and other
wise thoroughly renovated in preparation
for the work of the coming year. An by
draulic elevator has been put in, which
Will greatly facilitate the handling of pa
tients. By means of it a patient can be
removed from her bed on one floor to
the operating room on another floor with
little Jar and no great trouble.
A preparation room has also been made
in connection with the operating room.
This, DR.. T. P. Waring the physician in
charge says, is a decided improvement and
one that has been much needed. Consid-
cradle new apparatus has been put in,
and the hospital, while small is regarded
as one of the best equipped In the country
for the handling of cases of the character
which it makes a speciality of treating.

MAY REVISE CARRIERS PLANS.
BOARD OF ENGINEERS TO GO OVER
THE SAVANNAH RIVER WORK.

Engineer Officers to Arrive Next
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of the Past Year
HAVE Caused the Department to
Take This step-An Appropriation
of S45OO00 Now Available - Only
One Dredge Now at Work on the
River.
On next Thursday a board of United
States engineers will meet in Savannah.
1t is composed of Maj. Sears Maj. Bixby
and Mai Symons and was appointed by
the war department for the especial pur-
pose of thoroughly examining the plans
prepared by Capt. o. NJ. Carter for the
Improvement of the river and harbor at
this port, with a view to revising the
same wherever it may be deemed neces-
sary TO secure the best results in the most
efficient and most economical manner.
The project for the work here will be
gone over carefully, the situation thor
Oughly studied and on the recommended
tons that the board makes the future
course of the improvements at Savannah
will largely depend Considerable work
remains to be done, and In view of the
CFNAiAS VI TIC past year ~ appears " DG
regarded at Washington as the wisest
policy TO reconsider the plans before ac-
tive operations are resumed on a large
scale. An appropriation of $45O,OOO is now
available for such improvements, includ-
ing dredging in the Savannah river and
on the inside route TO Beaufort
At present there is but little work being
done. One dredge, belonging to Mr. Rit-
tenhouse Moore, is at work above Fort
Jackson. Another was working above
the city, but it has been temporarily
withdrawn from service. No work has
been done on the breakwater since last
October nearly a year ago. At that time
the Atlantic Contracting Company with
drew its plant and ceased work, its OBJ
ject being, 1t was stated, to put in new
plant which would be la readiness to be-
gin operations by March. Six months
have passed since the time the work was
expected to be resumed, but it appears
that Capt. Gillette, the engineer in charge
here, has heard nothing further from the
company. The contract provides penalties
for failure TO complete the work In a
specified time.
Capt. Gillette made trip down the
river from Augusta a few days ago to
see IL through its entire navigable course.
At Augusta the Port Royal and Augusta
Railroad bridge is to be improved by the.
putting in of guide cribs. This will add
TO the safety of vessels passing Though
the draw. The Improvement is made I'M
der orders from the department.

THEY WANT GOOD PAY.
Marshal Barnes Says the AduIa's
Trip VIII BE Costly.

MsrshnI Barnes Says the AduIa's
Trip VIII he Costly.
Marshal John. M. Barnes arrived In the
city yesterday from Macon, for the pur-
pose of looking into the matter of ar
rangetnents for taking the prize steamship
Adula to New York.
So far he has heard nothing whatever
from the department at Washington with
reference to the fund to be used for this
purpose, and 1t looks now as if 1t is going
to cost something Ike $1,700. OF course,
the money for the trip must be secured
before 1t can be made and the department
Will, no doubt, have to advance IT, Until
this Is done 1t is not likely that the trip
will be made.
Marshal Barnes finds that expenses run
up pretty rapidly for trip of this kind
He has figured up the salaries that the
various officers needed, will want. and the
amount goes far beyond what ne thought
would be necessary. For instance. the cap
tain wants $500, and the chief engineer
$3.50 for making the trip to New York. be-
sides return passage money. This is as
much or more than a captain and a chief
engineer on such a vessel would make In
month. 1t is expected that il will re-
quire about three days to make the trim
to New York On account of this situa-
ton il cannot be told just when the Adula
will be taken there, but at all events
Marshal Barnes will wait until he hears
from Washington. He left the city to re-
turn to Macon last night.

The story of the Reiser case is familiar
The commissioner is charged with conduct
unbecoming an officer and a gentleman
and several specific points are made in the
indictment against him. The names of
two women, one a school teacher in the
county, have been brought into the af-
fair, and the investigation is expected to
prove an interesting one. About 100 wit
nesses will be examined it is said, though
it is probable that the number will be cut
down considerably After all the testi-
mony has been taken before the county
school board, and they have gone over
the case, it will be referred to State School
Commissioner Glenn for his action and de-
cision in the matter.

CUTTING OF PRIVATE BARRETT.

Snted That 1T Did Not Occur In a
Low Dive AS Reported.
MIR. Richard W. Cunningham returned
last night from Knoxville, where he went
to ascertain the condition and be with
his brother-in-law Private Thomas Bar
rett of Company L of the First Georgia
Regiment, who was reported last Wednes-
day as having been seriously cut in
difficulty that occurred in a low dive" in
that city.
Private Barrett is a Savannahian. and
his friends and relatives here were wor-
ried for fear that he had been dangerously
injured. Mr.. Cunningham had been una
bic to secure any answer to a telegram
he sent to ascertain his brother-in-law's
condition, so he left the day the report
was published to personally investigate
the matter.
When he arrived at Knoxville Mr.. Cum
bingham had no difficulty in finding out
all the particulars relating to the affair
and he says the evidence of his own sight
showed that the place at which the trou-
bic occurred could not possibly be char
acterized as Tow dive" and that the
statements of witnesses showed that
neither Barrett nor Harrison, the com
rade who was with him, and who likewise
was cut were drunk
The man who did the cutting was the
driver of wagon for a Knoxville brew
cry, which was near the place where the
trouble occurred. Harrison and he had had
words in the saloon and had gone out 10
settle the difficulty. Private Barrett re-
NAMED inside, but presently he heard Pri-
vatc Harrison call out that he had been
cut to death. He then ran out. but was
met at the door by the driver. who caught
hold Of him and inflicted a severe wound In
the side. Thirteen stitches were taken in
this by the regimenal surgeon. Reports
agreed, Mr.. Cunningham says, that there
was nothing premeditated about the cut
ting, but that it grew out Of the momen-
tary anger of the driver. He left Privates
Barrett and Harrison getting on all right.
The former viii be sent to Savannah in a
few days on sick leave.

RECEPTION FOR THE BOYS.
Guards Meet Tonight to Arrange for
! Their Return.

A meeting of the corps of Savannah
Volunteer Guards is called by Capt. W.
w. Williamson for tomorrow night. 1t is
desired to give a reception to the return
ing Guards in the Second Georgia Regi-
ment. All the officers, save one and
many of the members of the First Bat
talon of the regiment left the Guards in
response to the call for volunteers.
The reception will be held at the arm
DRY. The latest reports are that it will
be but a few days before the regiment Is
mustered out of the service. 1t is, there
fore, necessary that early action in the
proposed plan for a reception should be
taken In order that all arrangements and
details may be fixed in sufficient time.
capt. Williamson and the other provis-
ionai officers are anxious to secure a large
attendance of the members of the Guards,
not only of the active, but of the hon
orary veteran, associate and military
associate classes. The officers feel that
the reception should be given the return
ing members of the Guards as a fit recog-
milton of their services in having repre-
sented the corps in the army and as a
mark of the qualification of their COM
Tades in their safe return.
Assurances have been given the officers
VI the OudrdS that the IadleS OF the
Guards Aid Society stand ready, as al
ways, to assist in anything that may be
done for the boys. Their aid will be
found invaluable in the preparation Of
some of the delicacies that will be spread
before the returning soldiers.
The companies will not march to the
depot TO meet the battalion and escort
1t to the armory. This was suggested, but
10 met with no favor. The Guards, how
ever, stand ready to welcome their COM
rades, and they will do so in a proper
way.
