THE MoRTUARY REPORT.

Through the courtesy Of the Health
Department we are enabled to give our
readers the mortuary report for the
month of May: Total number of
deaths. %: white, male, 5: female. .:
colored. male, 8: female. g. Total. %.
Comparative statement: Number of
deaths during the month of May, 1898.
81; May. 1899. 90. Thus ii Will be seen
that the difference between May, 1895
and 1899. is Is. 1t is thought that n
large decrease In the mortality is due
to the more general use Of sewerage,
and when all the houses have been
connected the decrease will be much
greater still.

ABREAST or THE TIMES.

What Mr.. w. j. Davis Is Doing for the
People of Portsmouth.
There is no livery stable in the South
where one can find better equipment or
accommodation than that of the Palace
Stables OF Mr.. w. J. Davis. of this city
ana Norfolk.
In addition to his enormous quantity
and miscellaneous stock Of vehicles. he
received yesterday direct from the fac
tory two of Hincks & Johnson's bridal
coaches, which are magnificent in every
particular and which were built espe-
cially for MIR. Davis for wedding par
ties.
These coaches, with black body and
gear, with quarter and fine lines of car
mine stripping and silver trimmings, are
indeed handsome from an exterior view.
But when one looks inside and beholds
the art of the upholsterer displayed in
cream colored satin, the conclusion is
at once reached that Mr.. Davis is de-
termined not to be outdone by any liv-
eryman in America
The public is invited to inspect these
vehicles at his stables in Portsmouth
and Norfolk, where you will also have
an opportunity to enjoy the handsome
and very comfortable parlors which he
has established for the comfort and
convenience of his lady patrons.
These parlors contain easy corners"
which are particularly attractive to la
dies who admire art in the direction OF
drapery and furnishings.
MIR. NJ. G.. Coolahan. nTessrs. Hincks
& Johnson's popular and successful
representative, is the gentleman who
brings these fine equipages to this city.
and who has sold Mr.. Davis eight other
very handsome and costly coaches in
the past two years.

SUSPENDED FOR A WEEK.
That is What Happened to a Fourth
of the Force in the Steam En-
gineering Department.

The suspension of one-fourth of the
force employed in the steam engineer
ing department of the navy yard yes
terday evening was the general topic
on the streets last night among those
interested.
The suspension includes n proportions
ate number of all the trades employed
in that department, and is said to be
for one week only. The cause of this
action on the part of the authorities is
made necessary from the fact that
there is n deficit OF $1,000 dollars. and
the suspension of a week. it is thought,
Will adjust matters from n financial
point of view very satisfactorily.
$50. 600 DOLLARS.
The survey on the u. S. 5. Sanfran-
cisco has been approved. and the re-
pairs to that vessel will begin July 1st,
eniaiing n cost of S35OOOo.
The repairs necessary TO this vessel
are on Il line with those given the
Newark, and it is estimated that it
Will require at least twelve months
time TO complete them.
This is excellent news, and our peo-
pie will rejoice to learn the facts given
above. Navy yard employees were in a
splendid humor last night over .ne
prospects confronting them.

Atlanta has hit upon a scheme which
If carried out will prove to be a long
stride in the direction of municipal
street cars. The plan is as follows:
Beginning with 1900, the dividends on
the capital stock of the Atlanta Rail-
way and Power company and the At
lanta Railway company shall be per
cent for the first year, 5 per cent for
the second year, and per cent there
after, all dividends above 6 per cent to
be divided One-fourth to the stockhoId-
ers and three-fourths to the city, to be
used for street improvements and pub
lie schools. Besides, the city is to have
the right to purchase at any time by
paying for the stock and assuming the
bonded debt
