FATTENED ron CREMAToRY.
Farmers POrI1er Fell Into the Hands
of the sanitary Authorities.

Farmers POrker Fell Into the Hands
of the Sanitary Authorities.
Policeman Lange turned a farmer over
to the health authorities yesterday for
Offering to sell a hog which was in an
unsound condition. The farmer was first
taken to the police barracks, where the
officer was dir seted to take him to the city
exchange. The rural dealer was there
turned over to Meat Inspector Well.
1t. did not take Inspector Well long to
decide what to do. The pig was not in
a wholesome condition, and the inspector
applied the law to the case by condemning
it. Getting on The wagon with the farmer,
Well directed him to drive to the crema-
tory. There the Gentleman that was to
pay the rint," was cast into outer dark
ness. To the farmer this appeared to be
a peculiar proceeding. Why he should fat
ten hogs for Savannah's crematory is
something ne could not thoroughly COM
prehend, and the probability is he will re-
member the performance for a long time.
The police and sanitary inspectors are al
ways on the alert for spoiled meat, and II
is at their own risk that dealers attempt
to dispose of il.
On account of the circumstances of the
case the farmer was not placed on the
police docket, and it is for this the officers
say, he should congratulate himself.

FUNERAL OF A WEALTHY CUBAN.
Mr.. AdOIGO Dubois Laid to Rest in
BOnaVenture.

MIR. AdOITO Dubois Laid to Rest in
BOnaventure.
A wealthy and greatly esteemed Cuban
was laid to rest yesterday morning be-
meath the oaks of Bonaventure. Mr.. Adolfo
Dubois, had lived in Savannah for some
months. He was known most favorably to
quite circle Of friends and acquaintance.
He died day before yesterday at his board
ing place, No. 90 Liberty street, west. The
funeral was at 1870 O'Clock yesterday
morning.
Mr.. Dubois was Cuban of French des-
cent. His family is a wealthy and inhuen-
tial one in Matanzas province. He himself
lived in Matanzas until the affairs of the
island became so unsettled. 1t was some
time ago that he sold out all his interests,
moved 10 New York and invested his mon
ey in that city. America had been the
home of his adoption for two or three
years. He was greatly, devoted TO this
country, and was accustomed TO say that
he never would care to leave ii for Cuba.
The deceased was a man of education,
talents and refinement His nature was
kind and gentle, and those who knew him
feel genuine regret for his loss. He leaves
in Savannah a sister-in-law, Mrs. Dubois,
and her two daughters all of whom were
faithful and untiring in their efforts to
ward off the fate that overlook him. He
had suffered for a long time from a heart
trouble, and his death was not a surprise
TO his friends.
Some months ago there was quite a col
ony of the. DuBoises in the city. Two Of
the brothers of the deceased came from
Matanzas aboard the vessel that brought
an the large party of refugees. Other mem
bers of The family were here and many re-
member with pleasure their acquaintance.

RUMORS OF MOVING TROOPS.
Railroads Talking of EmbarI<atiOn
at Miami and Tampa.

at Miami and Tampa.
Railroad men have rumors of an early
movement of troops. 1t is whispered that
the war department eontemplates sending
a number of regiments from Savannah to
Port Tampa and Miami to be embarked
for Cuba. 1t Is said the idea is that more
rapid movement to the island can thus
be secured.
What there may be in this is not known,
but it is admitted that the matter has been
taken up by the railroads and that they
are looking about 10 see if there is any
business to come to them. The report
reached the railroads from Washington.
An effort was made to ascertain its correct
ness by the aid of agents at Washington,
and the news heard through them was
taken to indicate that there is some basis
for the report
A few days ago one of the leading Of
ticials of one of the North and South lines,
in discussing the military situation, said
that be had been spoken to upon the ques-
ton of the transportation of three regi-
ments from Savannah TO Port Tampa.
Nothing further has been heard of it,
however, and the government officials pro-
fess ignorance of any such movement
being contemplated. 1t is quite possible
that there are no grounds for the state
ments of the departure of any of the Sew
enth Corps from any other port than Sa-
vannah. The department recognizes the
advantages and facilities here, and is not
likely to give them up for the more mea-
ger facilities of other ports.
