TO FINISH CLEANING STREETS.

Expected Contractors May Get Sur
plus Soil Out of the Way To-day.
Chairman Dixon of the street and lane
committee of Council expects all the
streets to be cleared of dust to-day, though
there is a possibility that another day will
be required to wind up the work The
removal of surplus soil has been a big
job end there is a chance the city will
have work to do at the contractors ex-
pense after the streets have been turned
over as cleaned. 1t is not the intention
thoroughly scraped with hoes or otherwise
given good cleaning.
While the work was in progress there
was an oversight which would otherwise
have saved the people a good deal of in
convenience. This could have beeen done
by first cleaning the walks across streets,
so that in passing from one sidewalk to
another pedestrians would not have to
tramp through deep dust AS 1t was, the
dust at these crossings in many instances
remained until the cutters and other un-
used parts of the street had been cleaned.
This was the case on certain parts of
Whitaker street.
To secure all being put in proper condi-
ton the street and lane committee will
look over the streets after they have been
turned over to the city. Wherever ii is
seen improvements may be made Director
Gadsdens attention will be called 10 the
fact, and the city force will be detailed
to go over the work. There must be
nothing left to wash into the sewers, or
20 stop up the cutters Even after the
contractors are through with their part
the city's force will sweep and put on
the finishing touches to paved streets
The contractors are only bound to put
the streets in the condition they found
them.
The soil has been taken to Wheaton
street for filing and grading purposes.
The fine dust made good material as
foundation for brick, While the coarser
material was suitable for bringing about
a proper grade The Wheaton street paw
ing was resumed yesterday, and the CITY
expects to complete it within the next ten
or twelve days.

THE DIXIE OFF WITH STOCK.
Former Eel sud Way Again BE Made
an Auxiliary Cruiser.

The transport Dixie sailed yesterday
shortly after / o'clock for Manzanillo. The
vessel had eighty odd horses aboard that
will be landed at Manzanillo, and used by
portion Of the Tenth Cavalry, colored
troops to be stationed al that place The
cavalry leave Galveston on the Logan for
Manzanil,o.
After the Dixie discharges her cargo Of
live stock at Manzanilla she will take the
Fourth Immunes aboard and proceed to
New York. The immunes will be landed at
New York and from there will go to Camp
Meade to be mustered out of the service.
1t Is said the Dixie will again be trans
formed into an auxiliary cruiser after she
discharges the Fourth Immunes at New
York. The vessel was formerly the Eel
Sud of the Morgan Line of steamships be-
tween New York and New Orleans. The
I'll sud was the fastest vessel of the COM
pany's feet, and the government wanted
her as an auxiliary cruiser as soon as war
with Spain had been declared. The deal
was made and the Ell Sud was sent to a
navy yard, fitted up as cruiser, re-
christened and sent to sea.
During the war the Dixie was heard
swim when fighting was going on. She
was al the ombardment of San Juan
with lot of naval militia from one of the
northern states aboard, and her shots
were fired with telling effect on the fortI-
fcations. Later the cruiser sank a Span
ish torpedo boat off the Cuban coast.
When the war was over and there was
a demand for transports the Dixie had her
guns taken off ana was transformed into
a vessel for the transportation of troops.
She retained her war paint. the dull leaden
color that prevents vessels being deserted
at night when it is desired 10 keep their
whereabouts unrevealed. The paint re-
manned on until few days ago when the
vessel came into this port. Workmen and
painters were engaged, and it was not long
before repairs had been made and she
had been treated TO an entirely new coat
OF white paint. Workmen were employed
day and night all The while the ship was
In port. As she left yesterday and passed
down the stream, the Dixie was a mark
for all eyes along the river front. She was
a beauty in her new coat, and al spoke
highly of her handsome appearance.
1t is said the Dixie is destined for SER
vice in the Philippines. The carriages for
the guns that were taken off her still re-
main, and mounting the ordnance will be
a comparatively easy task.

CHILD SAVED BY CAR FENDER.
An Example of the Value of the
Annnrnfns

The New York papers of May record
an instance Of the value
of the street car fender
as a llfe-saving apparatus So much has
been said in Savannah recently for and
against the fender that any illustra-
ton Of its work is of interest. The street
car people generally, in spite of the fact
that lenders are used in nearly every
large city, contend that they are useless
in saving life and some street railway
people insist that they are menace 70
life. The case in New York. as reported
by the New York Press, does not show
that this is the case. 1t says:
Little Albert Nelson of No. 352 East FOR
ty-second street had marvellous escape
from death last night. He was struck by
an electric car and carried in the fender
for some distance in his mothers sight,
bat wasn't injured In any way
THE boy, who is years old was with
his mother at Forty street and
Second avenue when he suddenly dropped
her hand, and in play ran into the street,
defylng her TO catch him Just then a car
came along and struck him The mother
shrieked and ran after the car, and a great
crowd gathered. A policeman called an
ambulance and drove the crowd back
while a surgeon picked up the screaming
boy from the car fender He examined
the boy carefully and said he wasn't even
bruised. Albert stopped yelling immediate
iy and his mother began to cry from joy"
This account goes to disprove the state
ment of Director Thomas of the Savannah
car lines that tenders would tear up more
people than they would save and that
where there would be reasonable room for
the escape of victim, he would be hope
lessly lost in being rolled about by a fen.
der. good many of the fatal accidents
in which people are run over by street cars
are those to children. If one chiid's life
or limb were saved by a fender il would
seem to be sufficient reason why the APP
paratus should be required by the city il
the car lines do not willingly adopt It,

In the present members of the First

have friends and since the command has
been in Savannah, the soldiers have been
able to make friends of the citizens with
every bit as much ease as they formed

The regiment is one of the best that has

upon the military excellence and soldierly
worth of the regiment have been frequent,
and opportunity to observe the command
on review and on parade will be well

The Recorder had few important cases
to dispose of in the Police Court yester-
day morning, Most of them were of the
drunk and disorderly class, varied slightly
in some instances by the fact that the
DRINKS had engaged in quarrels and fist
icuffs with each other. None of the rows
had resulted at all seriously.
Almin Brown, the 10-year-old negro boy
arrested for the larceny of money and
valuables from Mrs. L. NJ. Goodhue, was
directed TO receive a licking of the most
improved form and released. The SEN
tence was carried out. The boy had bare

pility, and appeared to be not at all con-

he had committed.

DISCUSSED PERCY AND BURNS.
University Clubs Pleasant Meeting
and Election of a Leader.

University Clubs Pleasant Meeting
and Election of a Leader.
Percy and Burns were the poets under
discussion at the meeting of the Univer-
sity Extension Club yesterday afternoon
at the Chatham Academy. A pleasant
hour was spent in the enjoyment OF
sketch of Percy that was read by Mrs.
Louis Young, the leader, and selections
from both authors were read by mem
bers.
Bishop Percy was considered as the COM
pier of the "Reliques of English Ballads
that formed the inspiration from which
Sir Walter Scott wrote his wonderful ro-
mances. The reading Of the sketch by
the leader was followed by a short dis
cussion, in which several of the members
engaged.
Two of Burns pathetic poems were read.
One of them was his Address to Young
Friend which was read by Mrs Young.
Mrs. Julian Solomon also read a selection.
A number of quotations from each author
were given, and a discussion sprang up
in the effort to account for the difference
in the feeling of posterity toward Byron
and Burns, men with so many failings in
common, and of much the same character
and type. 1t was finally agreed that
Burns shows more human sympathy and
more thought for others than Byron, whom
the club regards an egotist, showing
none of the altruism of the former
Sir Walter Scott will be the subject at
the meeting of the club next Tuesday
afternoon. Mrs. Julian Solomon will then
preside for the first time. She was elected
at yesterdays meeting as leader TO sue
coed Mrs. Young. the members having
agreed upon plan of monthly success
sion in the office. Mrs. Young was given
a rising vote of thanks for her effective
and interested work during her lncum-
bency.

SIXTH OHIO PASSED THROUGH.
The Regiment VIII BE Mustered Ont
mt Augusta in About Three Weeks.


mt Augusta in About Three Weeks.
The Sixth OHIO Regiment came up from
Daufuskie Island yesterday, where 1t has
been in detention for five days. The regi-
ment proceeded by the Central Railroad
and the Florida Central and Penlnsular to
Augusta, where it will be mustered out
in about three weeks. healthier, more
robust lot of fellows have probably not
been seen in Savannah since the retiring
troops have been passing through.
The Steamer Pope Catlin arrived with
the first detachment at the Baltimore
wharf at 10 o'clock, bringing three COM
panies and the band, under command of
Maj. Stansbury II did not take the men
long to get onto the wharves, and less
time was required for some of them to
make dashes for pie vendors, who were at
the wharf in abundance. The Sixth Ohio
fellows knew a thing or two. however,
and were not to be taken in by the ven-
ders, some of whom wanted army" prices
for pies
Here what are those pies worth"
shouted soldier from car window.
Ten cents" replied the vender, max
ing for the soldier.
GO 10 HI" was the way the soldier
expressed his dissatisfaction.
The first detachment left in about an
hour after it's arrival. Sleepers were at
tached to the rear of the train for officers
Another detachment came in on the San
tee about the time the first was pulling
out, and as the cars were all within a con-
venient distance to the wharf, the men
were soon aboard Col. McMaken was in
md Of ba
If there is one thing the Sixth Regiment
can boast of more than another, II is its
excellent band. When the regiment was
at Knoxville, the band was heard to good
advantage on several occasions, and was
pronounced to be one of the best in the
volunteer army. After the muster out the
band will go on a concert tour through
Northwestern Ohio, the section from which
the regiment was largely taken. In this
way the men hope 10 make enough on the
side to pay for their Instruments, which
they wish to buy from the government.
The men We're greatly disappointed in
being taken to Augusta for muster out.
They had hoped to remain in Savannah
and had used every effort to have their
orders changed. While efforts were made
in Washington to have the orders counter
manded, it seems the Augustans had the
regiment clinched, and all it's friends did
was unavailing. Some OF the men said Ii
would cost them more in the way of rail-
road fare on account of being taken from
Savannah.
