THE INSIDE ROUTE.
No Instructions TO Resume Work Re-
ceiVed Yet.

CelNtu
Capt. Gillette is in hopes that he viii
shortly be able to resume work upon the
inside route 10 Beaufort. In this lauda Die
desire he has the hearty sympathy of the
river people generally. who find the pres
ent route for reaching Beaufort and Port
Royal somewhat hazardous In bad
weather.
The funds for this work were included
in the general appropriation for continu-
ing the Savannah river and harbor work.
OF the two routes available route No. .
was selected by the former engineer. This
included considerable jetty and dredging
work. When Capt. Gillette took charge
at Savannah he found that the work
which had been done and accomplished lit
tie in the direction of providing a safe
charmed, and was of no permanent value
and he accordingly ordered the work dis
continued.
Plans for improving the channel by the
Mud river route, or route No. l, were pre-
pared by Capt Gillette. It was necessary
that the pans should have the approval
OF Congress, which was given a the last
session. There was some doubt as TO
whether there were sufficient funds avail
able out of the amount unexpended on the
river route. There were other funds
which might have been made available
but as these were involved in the Carter
investigation, the department preferred 60
leave them intact until the Carter case
should be disposed Of
Capt. Gillette, when seen in reference to
the matter yesterday said that he had re-
ceived no orders from Washington as yet
to resume the work, but he presumed that
such orders would be given. Announce
ments have been made in press dispatches
throughout the country that Capt. Gillette
had been instructed by the war depart
ment to relet the contracts for the river
and harbor work a. Savannah, which were
suspended on account of the Carter in
vesdgation. Capt. Gillette said that he
had seen these reports, but that he had
received no Instructions on the subject
from the war department.
Capt Gillette recently visited Augusta
to investigate the condition of the river
work which has been going on in that vi
entity. The river being high with prospect
of plenty of water for the river traffic, he
decided he ordered the dredges and pile
drivers removed to Savannah. These will
shortly be put to work upon the Ocmulgee
and other rivers to the south of Savan-
nah, which are badly in need of snagging
and other work for clearing their channels

pert Register.
Rupert, the 6-year-old son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. r. p. Register, died yesterday MORN
ing, after a painful illness of eight days
duration.
A week ago Sunday he suffered the ac-
cident of having his forefnger mashed, up
TO the first joint, in the tifth-wheel Of
a buggy So badly was il crushed that
the attending physician decided an ampu-
tation necessary. 1t was made. day
or two later a second amputation was
found to be necessary. and finally a third,
taking the finger up TO the hand. Even
that heroic measure, however. was not
sufficient to stay The blood poison which
had set in, and notwithstanding loving
care and medical science We're exhausted
in the effort TO give him relief, the little
fellow passed away yesterday.
Little Rupert was an exceptionally
bright and loveable child. His parents
win have the sincere sympathy of a large
circle of friends. The funeral will occur

MIR. C0MER's CONDITION.
UnfaVornbsc Diagnosis Confirmed by
Baltimore Physicians.

EAitlmOFe InSStciuns.
Advices received yesterday from Mr., II.
NJ. Conner were to the effect that the spe-
clalists at the Johns HOPKINS University
had confirmed the diagnosis made Of his
case by the New York physicians. As the
diagnosis by Prof. Chappell and other DIS
tinguished specialists of New York was
distinctly unfavorable, the news of the
confirmation of their opinion by the equal
~ distinguished specialists at Johns Hop
kins viii be resolved here with regret.
1t is generally acknowledged now by
those in close touch with Mr. Conner that
his condition is extremely critical and,
while there is little PROBABILITY of a fatal
termination at an early date, there IS
practically no hope Of any change for the
better. MIR Conner is sad TO take the Sit
uation very calmly, and to discuss his
condition with the doctors as cooly as if
the case under consideration were that of
some other person in whose prospects he
was moi directly interested.
1t is not known here whether Mr.. Conner
viii return TO savannah Immediately, or
whether he viii remain some time longer
in New York. His wife and children are
with him.

The Dime Social.

The ladies of the Episcopal Church of this city gave dime social at Odd Fellows Hall last Monday night. There was a large attendance and the net proceeds amounted to eighteen dollars. The literary program preceded the appearance of ice cream and cake. The program was as follows:
 Recitation. Royal Shepard Solo. Rev. Gurr Duet. Mrs. Ross and MT. Rutledge Recitation. ...........F Francis Shepard
 "Prayer and Potatoes"
 Solo. lO................... .ReV. Gurr Solo. o.................. Mr. Routledge Recitation ................M Miss Spiers
 "Two Sides to a Question:"
 Reading ....... Miss McKenna
 The literary part of the program was exceptionally good. The two solos by the Rev. Gurr were much enjoyed. The solo by MT. Routledge, who has beau tifuI voice, was fine. The reading by Miss McKenna and the recitations by Miss Spiers deserve special mention. A duet by Mrs. Ross and MT. Routledge was one of the best things on the pro. gram.
 The social ended up with a little dance and the music, we'll you should have heard it. It was complimentary, five pieces besides the organ and every man a professor. There was Professor Taylor of the of the post office, Profes- sor Elliot the druggist, Professor Full mer and Profs. Putnam, North and Hunter. It was quite compliment to have these six professors come and play for an hour and it is not necessary to say the ladies of the Guild appreciated it. At twelve the people went home feeling that the evening had been very pleasantly spent. These socials will be given once month and the members of the Guild were highly gratifed at the success of the first. They wish to thank all who so kindly assisted in the programme. The Epis- copal congregation, though small, is growing one. The members of the Guild are working hard for the church and at no distant day expect to have a church building.

 w. E. Davis and James Kirwan were Douglas City passengers on the up trip of the Orizaba last Sunday. They are employed at the Mexican mine. Mr. Davis used to work at the Tread we'll mines.
