Each location consists of 80 acres, di-
vided' into three plots of S, 10 ami 90
acres each, besides town lot contain

locations have already been taken and
inside of year there win probably be
at least 100 families located on these
ranches where before there have not
been dozen persons. Tho land Is he

Captain Crawford Escapes the
Spaniards.

The prairie schooner in command OF
Captain Crawford, bound from Wells TO
Ely, laden with cargo of general mer-
chandise, has at last been spoken and
is expected to arrive at this port to-
night or tomorrow. She sailed from
Wells on the 18th inst and, as she was
not heard from for nearly two weeks,
fears were entertained that she had en-
countered the Spanish torpedo hotilla.
Those who know the Captain, however,
have never lost faith in his ability to
elude the enemy and have expected to
see him dob up serenely' at the prop
er time.

DRAINAGE IN LAUREL GROVE.
-Four More Acres Fitted for Cemetery
Purposes.

-Four More Acres Fitted for Cemetery
Purposes.
A force of hands has just completed the
work of draining about four acres of land
in Laurel Grove cemetery. The. draining
has been the means of retaining the
land, as it was very low, the water stand
ing not more than a foot and a half from
the surface.
The tract chat has been drained lies to
the west of Jessamine avenue. For a long
time it has been desired as a burial place,
but the presence of water so near the sur
face has prevented its being used. Now
that it has been drained, il may be used.
The piping now takes the water away,
and depth of seven and half feet may
be reached before water is found.
The drainage pipes lie eight feet under
ground. There is a network Of them that
keeps the earth relieved of its moisture.
The terra Gotta pipes allow the water to
percolate through, and it is then run off
by the fall.
It will not be long before the new tract
will be divided up into lots. These will be
sold off as demands are made. II is
thought the four acres will suffice for
burial purposes for twelve years, the in
terments In the past having been made at
about the rate that would take up all of
the four acres within the time mentioned.
Grading will be commenced soon, and, on
its completion the lots will be ready.
There has been great need for the new
ground. For the last few years the ceme-
terry has been too restricted in its limits.
1t has been found difficult to satisfy the
demands for lots, and it is a well-known
fact that many old graves have been dis
turbed by the digging of new ones. 1t is
said there are sections of the cemetery
that have been buried over as many as
three times.
Some time. ago there was talk OF the
purchase and use of another tract of land
for the city cemetery. The need of one
was appreciated. 1t was seen that there
would either have to be new cemetery
soon or that the ground unsuited for bu-
rial purposes in Laurel Grove would have
to be reclaimed by drainage. The matter
was decided by the adoption of the plan
that had been suggested for the drain
age of. the -four acres that have now been
put in proper condition.
There are still several spots in the ceme-
terv that may be reclaimed by drainage.
Roth i'm the white and colored sections
there are such places, and 1t is probable
that the work will be done from time to
time as the space is required.

Tue REGIMENTAL BAND.
How This Institution Ia Provided for
and its work.

How This Institution Ia Provided for
and It's work.
The regimental band is one of the most
interesting features of tne army. In times
of peace its music adds many an attrac-
ton TO the life of the army post; In the
camp and the field it is like a stimulant
to the men. TO whose hours of toll it adds
not a little joy; and on the field of battle
it is Indispensable, for II is the music that
often leads a soldier on when all else fails.
The regmental band is provided for in
the army regulations. In these there are
six paragraphs relating to it, prescribing
of what it SHAH consist and fixing its
duties. The reglmental band is made up
from men enlisted In the different COM
panes composing the regiment. The first
paragraph of the regulations on this sub
ject prescribes that the regimental band
shan eonsist'-oft one sergeant dn addition
to the chief musician and chief trumpet
err. but in no case shall the number Q;
men in the band exceed twenty-four.
The regimental commander shall desig-
nate the company from which the SER
| geant to serve with the band shall be TAX
en-, and the number of men TO be taken
from each company to serve with the
band, but the vacancies thus caused I'm
the companies will not be filled. The band
musicians are then dropped from the com
pany muster rolls, but continue to be in
structed as soldiers, and are liable to be
called on to serve in ranks on any occa-
sion. They are mustered with the regi-
mental non-commissioned staff, and are
included in the aggregate on all regimen
tai returns.
When a regiment is divided and oc-
cupies several stations, the regimental
band is required to remain at headquar-
tiers, providing one or more companies
serve there. The usual band Instruments
are furnished all bands by the quarter
masters department, but when additional
or fancy instruments are wanted they
must be paid for from the regimental fund.
The quartermaster Is held responsible for
all instruments furnished by the quarter
masters department, and the adjutant for
those bought from the regimenlal fund
The band must furnish music on all prop.
er occasions, and must pay national airs
at such times as regimental commanders
direct
There are only two bands in the army
and navy which are allowed by law to
have more than twenty-four men. The
band al the military academy al West
Point has forty pieces, and the marine
band at Washington, as Is well known. is
large one. Every now and then Il APP
pears that some congressman makes an
effort to do away with the army bands
on the ground of economy, but no doubt
those that are foremost in these move
ments have no idea whatever OF what the
soldiers life is A small amount of the
worlds pleasures are his, and when the
good is considered. the band cannot be
considered a luxury.
Savannahians have greatly appreciated
the concerts given here by the regimen
tai bands of the Seventh Army Corps.
Their music has greatly aided In enliven-
ing the city and the people will always
be glad to hear them. The rcgImental
band is undoubtedly a potent army fac

BOOTHS AROUND THE CAMPS.
Inspected Daily by Surgeons to See
They Are Properly Kept.

-AHC Eopefty hcpI.
The booths in the vicinity of the army
camps are regularly inspected by surgeons
every day. 1t is particularly desired that
everything in and around them be kent
neat and clean, aud the visits of the sur
seon inspectors are made with this OBJ
Jeet. Parties running the booths are told IL

to continue to sell their goods to the SOL
diers.
Another object in the visits of the sur
geons. and, in fact. the more important
one, Is to ascertain just what the booths
are selling and to prescribe the sale of
things that are not regarded as good and
wholesome for the men. Bananas and pies
are on the list of those things that are
under the ban, and the circus style of le-
monade is also prescribed. The surgeons
believe bananas are the cause of a good
zeal of sickness. among the soldiers, and
thlngs they get under the guise of pies
are looked upon by the medical staff as
something horrible. If the best bananas
could be obtained all the time it is proba-
bic that there would be no objection to
their sale. The ingredients of the pies that
are commonly sold at the stands are re-
garded as of TOO stern a stuff to admit of
their being freely inflicted upon the diges-
tive apparatus of the soldiers
While the corps was at Jacksonville it
is said there was some trouble on account
of the failure of the people who ran the

MIR. scHrvEnA's BIBLE READINGS,
his Subject Yesterday "Christ Our
Friend"


Friend"
The Bible reading given by Ferdinand
sohiverea at the First Presbyterian
Church yesterday on Christ, Our Friend"
was exceptionally interesting and helpful
His FIRST passage of scripture was the
verse from the eleventh chapter of Mat
thew. which contains the accusation of
the Jews that Jesus was "glutton and
wine bibber, friend of publcans and
sinners"
Mr. schiverea said the first part of the
charge was false. for Jesus never was
a glutton nor drunkard. He said the
last part of the charge was true, that
Tesus was friend of publicans and sin
nefs.
The speaker then referred to the char
aoier of Jesus friendship. He is a low
Ing. counseilng. abiding friend.
The reading was frequently interspersed
with passages illustrative of the thought
brought out.
Tomorrow the subject of the reading
will be "Chrlst Our Sufficiency."
The meetings are open to all. The
friends who come are asked to bring their
bible. notebooks and pencils. The hour
is 4.30.

In the event the property owners are
able to show this, as is stated, they wiz
expect the city to reduce the bills. If the
city shows on the contrary that there was
