BRouGHToN's NEW WATER MAIN
The Work of Laying 1t VIII Begin
To-day.

The work Of laying the new Pinch wa
ter main on Broughton street will begin
to-day. The main Is to be laid under
meath the track of the Savannah, Thun-
derbolt and Isle of Hope Railway. in the
center of the street.
The Street Railway Company will re-
model it's track at the same time, laying
new rails and ties, and one excavation
will thus be made to serve both purposes.
The railroad gang will remove the old
track and ties, and the water works force
viii follow close behind, deepening the ex-
cavatlon and laying the pipe. The track
Will be relaid as fast as the water works
force gets out of the way, and the water
department will then replace the paving
between the tracks. The granite blocks
will be relaid between the tracks except
at the Bull and Drayton street crossings,
where asphalt will be used 1t is esu-
mated that the combined work of laying
the main and renewing the track will re-
quire about week.
When this main is laid the business sec
ton of the city will be provided with
splendid water service. The new main on
Broughton street will connect with 16-inch
mains at each end, beginning with the To-
inch main on West Broad street and ter,
mlnating in the 16-inch main on Abercorn
street. These two mains connects with
the l6-inch main on Bay street. The
Broughton street main will also connecs
with the 12-inch main on Whitaker street,
which also connects with the bay street
main. In this way a large circuit will be
formed.
Chairman Dixon of the water commits
sion advises property owners on Brough-
ton street to make connection with the
new main while IL is being laid, by which
means a considerable saving in excavation
can be effected. Two new fire MIGRANTS of
the most approved pattern win be placed
on each block, one on each side of the
street The present main on Broughton
street is one of the smallest in the city,
and very old The new main will be a
great addition to the fire protection of the
retail district

UNITED STATES COURTS CONVENE.
Many Matters to Come Before Judge
SPeer. This Month.

The spring term of the United States
courts convened yesterday. The juries
were drawn and were dismissed until 10
O'Clock this morning, when the session
Will probably dispose of more business
than it was possible to do yesterday. in
view of the many formal matters, which
consumed much time. In fact, there were
very few cases set which were disposed of,
all being either continued or reassigned.
Among the cases taken up was that OF
Waldron & fainter VS.. J. H. Johnston, in
which exceptions of law had been taken
by counsel to the special masters
report. The suit is one seeking to
recover money from Capt. john
ton for money advanced him on cot
ton futures several years ago, and which
Is involved something like So 600. The argu-
ment was made before Judge Speer with
out jury. and when concluded was taken
under advisement Quite a lengthy list of
authorities were produced by the counsel
In support of the theories of both sides.
An order of sale was filed in the
case of the Mercantile Trust and De-
post Company vs. the Brunswick Light
and Water Company. The plant was sold
to Mr. Frederick NJ. Coston of Baltimore
and Mr.. Julian ]. Burke of Alexandria,
Va, for $4,000. The purchasers depos-
tied $500 as an evidence of good faith and
the sale stands subject to confirmation by
Judge Speer. The decree under which the
sale was made was pronounced by the
court May II. 1897, and made Mr. Alexan-
der Proudft and Mr.. w. E. Burgage, mas
ter commissioners.
An order was issued allowing Charlton,
Mackall &c Anderson to collect claims for
advertising OF Mr.. John D. Harrell, master
commissioner in the cases of the II. A. Pea
yer VS.. the Savannah Street Railway, and
the Oglethorpe Savings and Trust Com
pany VS.. the Electric Street Railway. The
charges amount to little and are for ad-
vertising incident to the litigation.
The docket for to-day is as follows: Wal
dron & fainter VS.. J. II. Johnston, con-
tinued; G. p. Pease VS.. D. S. Sinclair con
tinued; the Mercantile Trust and Deposit
Company VS.. the Brunswick Light and
Water Company, continued the interview
ton of II. NJ. Glissen in case of Cuyler &
Woodburn railroad, continued Thomas
Watson VS.. Donovan & Perkins. The 9TH
err cases, which were to have been taken up
by the court. were re-assigned.
The grand jury will not meet until to-
morrow, at which time it will begin it's du-
ties While not of great importance, it is
said there are many matters to come be-
fore the grand jury
None of the officials are in better humor
or more prepared for the duties expected
of them than Clerk II. Fl. King, and his
deputy Mr.. S. b. b. Gillespie The char
acter of federal court business necessar-
lily changes from term to term. but these
officials have become so accus toned to the
work by experience and diligent applica
ton, that there is little friction in the dis
patch of the docket. so far as they are
concerned.

Two candidates are mentioned in con-
nection with the vacancy, First Sergt.
Henry Blum. Jr., and Second Sergt Rich

officer.

BUCKETS run BY STEAM.
sewer Work on East Broad Street
Greatly Facilitated.

The steam machine to facilitate the work
on the sanitary sewers was put in opera
ton on East Broad street yesterday for the
first time. Many people stopped during the
day to watch the buckets run along the
cables after being alternately filled and
emptied.
The use of the runway will be Of vast
assistance in the work. Four buckets are
now rugged up, but capacity for six is af-
forded by the machine. All of the buckets
move at the same time, each being sus-
pended by a smaller cable from the main
cable. An man at the engine at one end OF
the run governs the movement of the buck
cts
The dirt that is taken from the bitches
is removed much more rapidly and with a
great saving Of labor by the buckets. Two
sets Of them are used. one is filed by the
men digging the ditch, and these take the
places of those that are brought back af-
ter having been emptled upon the pile that
is formed at the end of the runway oppo-
site the engine. The empty buckets are
then retained and reiilled while the dirt is
being carried to the pile by the others
A great advantage in the run after the
work on the sewers has progressed will be
found in the means it will afford for the
quick filling of the bitches after The pipe
has been laid. The run is something like
100 yards in length. While the men are
digging at one end the buckets of dirt they
take out can be empted where the pipe
has been laid.
Traffic on Liberty street was almost
completely cut off yesterday on account of
the many teams that are engaged in haul
ing dirt from the sewers to vacant lots on
the Thunderbolt road. These teams were
taking the dirt from the east side of the
narrow bridge that had been built across
the ditch for the passage of sewers. There
was almost a continuous stream of the
wagons. and while one was being loaded
1t stood so close TO the bridge that it was
impossible for a vehicle TO pass around It,
A good many drivers had to seek other
thoroughfares In order 10 reach points be-
yond East Broad on Liberty. All were
very good natured about it and seemed to
recognize the necessity that existed in the
matter.
A great deal of the dirt yet remains to
be hauled away from Liberty street east
Of East Broad, where the sewers have
been "a. In putting the dirt back into
the dH<hes from which 1t has been re-
moved the men find that a great deal OF
il refuses to find room, the result being
that considerable is left These piles of
dirt interfere with the running of the wa
ter that is being constantly pumped by the
engines from the deep bitches. II is turn
ed from it's natural course to the surface
drainage sewers. and often runs in
streams across the asphalt The contrac-
tors are employing enough wagons now to
soon get the dirt out of the way.

AT LAW OVER A LITTLE PIG.
Solomon & Son Got a Verdict
Against Hugh Logan

Justice Nathans and a jury listened to
a lengthy proceeding yesterday in the case
of Henry Solomon & Son VS.. Hugh Logan.
The litigation was over a pig, and the
circumstances were such that both gentle
men had grounds for believing they were
morally right. Solomon & Son seem to
have received a small pig through their
business intercourse and disposed of it to
Mr.. Logan. The pig was delivered to Mr..
Logan, after which he seems to have dis
covered some objection and desired to re-
scind the agreement. This brought on a
misunderstanding which resulted in the
litigation and also a verdict in favor of
Solomon & Son
