Harry Lang, who is travelling for a
San Francisco clothing house, arrived
Montana. AS is usual with drummerS,
Mr.. Lang has a good supply of stories,
but he told one yesterday which he says
upon his word of honor to be the truth
The incident occurred several years
ago, when Mr.. Lang was justice Of
the peace in Massachusetts,. One day a
young man and a young woman entered
Ais office and announced that they de-
eired to be married. A long time ago,
when Lang used to be young and gddy
And spent Sundays in Fall River Mass
he had promised the same girl that he
would perform her ceremony of mar
riage the minute she had selected the
right man. The girl never forgot the
promise and when the man came along
she insisted that 1t should be Lang or
no one at all.
so they came to my office" said Mr..
Lang. II didn't want to marry them,
as I was new in the business, but as
the girl insisted, intimating that if I
eefused 1 would stamp myself as a man

squad around the corner and borrowed

welded husband? l asked, reading
from the book.
why, certainly, your honor. If I
didn't want him for a husband, what
would be doing here, sure? responded
the girl.
The girls tones indicated intense as

festly absurd. I interrupted my read
ing long enough to remark:
Well, my girl. I guess you know
your business and 10 minutes later she
left my Office a Mrs. instead of a

City win Look out for DISTRACTIONS
Hereafter.

Whether the drainage committee Of
Council finds from its Investigations that
there are distractions 70 the drainage sys-
tenn in the lanes or not, the chances are
there win be a change in the present meth
cd Of granting permits for this kind Of
work. Now Mat the question Of a system
attic way of keeping track of tho large
amount Of underground piping has come
squarely 20 the attention of Council, the
aldermen seem determined to give the mat
ter the attention it demands.
Mayor Myers discussed the granting of
permits yesterday, and said the investiga-
tons Of the drainage committee would not
have 10 reveal complications in the lanes
to bring a reform. The Mayor is satisfied
that the regulations IN the departments
are entirely too lax in the conditions nee
essary to protect the city. as well as 10
guide the companies making improve
ments
Something must be done in this mat
ter" Mayor Myers said. 1T Is manifestly
improper 10 grant a permit without first
knowing exactly where the pipes are 10
be laid, which side of the street, and their
depth in the ground. My idea is that no
more franchises win be granted until the
companies have filed a complete set Of
plans as to the exact work they propose 10
do, so that the director will know how 20
keep things straight. The place for all
information abount underground work is
the city engineers Office, aud provisions
should be made for that office 10 get this
information.
when a permit is granted to dig
through streets" he continued, "it would
seem that fairness to the contractors
would demand that they be furnished with
a list of all Instructions in that particu-
lar street. They should have a memoran-
da of every pipe, how far it is from the
property line, its size and depth. With
this Information the city will be protect
ed. and the contractors will know better
how to proceed. 1t is not good manage
ment TO be put to the necessity of dig
ging up a street to find the location of
pipes"
Mr.. ". A. Bisbee of the Georgia Tele-
phone Company, said that he is positive
thet the conduits m York street lane do
not intercept the drains. Before pro-
ceeding with the work there Mr.. Bsbee
personally inquired of Supervising En-
gineer Chapman as to the location of
drainage pipes, and furnished this infor-
nation to his engineers with Instructions
not to run the conduits in a way to inter
fere with the citys property Mr.. Bis
bee feels sure he has succeeded. He saws
the drains can pass underneath the con-
duits.
Public improvements have been iunnine
in Savannah for the last ten months. and
TO keep things moving along smoothly
will require that the old methods be modi-
fed.

NORTH CAROLINA NEXT TO GO.
Regiment viii BE Mustered Out Day
After Tomorrow.

The First North Carolina is the next reg
lment to be mustered out Of the service at
Savannah. The North Carolinians will go
out day after tomorrow. Railroad men
are now at work among the men to induce
them to travel by their routes TO their des-
tinations when they are discharged, ana
the competition for the business lively
The muster out of the regiment will leave
seven others here, though dates for the
discharge OF most Of these have been set.
Besides the North Carolinians' command,
there are now camped near Savannah the
Fourth Virginia, the One Hundred and
Sixtleth Indiana. the One Hundred and
Sixty-lirst Indiana, the Sixth Missouri, the
Forty-ninth Iowa. the Third Kentucky and
the Fourth Tennessee.
Three or four Of the regiments named
will be mustered out within short White,
but they will be followed by others, so that
until well along in May there viii scarce
~ be less than five or six regiments about
the city. Yet to come up from camp OF
detention are the Second Engineers and
The Thirty-first Michigan Regiments. Inc
Third engineers are also at Daufuskie, but
that regiment viii be mustered out at NC
Pherson.
1t is known that there are stiil two reg
iments to come to Savannah from Cuba to
be mustered out. They are the Ninth IL
linois and the Sixth Ohio. 1t IS possible
that there may be more, but transportation
arrangements have been made as yet for
but those Two.
The muster out of volunteer commands
at Savannah has been a big thing for the
merchants of the city, and many others
have profited directly or indirectly through
the troops being here. 1t is said the troops
themselves have not spent as much money
as when they were here with the Seventh
Army Corps before leaving for Cuba. This,
however, has been because the men have
not received their monthly pay 1.-THE gov
eminent having held it up in most cases
to turn over to men on the day of their
muster out.

GAVE A CONCERT AT THE DE SOTO.
North Carolina Band Entertained a
large AUDIENCE.

A concert was given last night at the
De Soto by the band Of the First North
Carolina Regiment. The usual success of
the band marked the concert and all of
the large crowd that heard il spoke ap-
preciatively of the excellent music. 1t
was the first concert that has been heard
at the De Soto for some time, and the
audience enjoyed it all the more for that
reason.
IL has been subject for remark that
there have not been more concerts since
the troops have been back in Savannah.
The explanation lies in the early muster
out OF the regiments, and the lack of in
terest in everything but that event. The
bandmasters and those who make up their
bands would doubtless like to entertain
the public under ordinary circumstances.
but they are all thinking more about the
day when they will no longer be enlisted
in the service
The new regiments that are to come in
and those that have recently come I'D
from quarantine may give a few concerts
before being mustered out The dates of
their discharge are not so close at hand as
those of the commands that have been
here for two or three weeks, and it is
therefore possible that concerts NAV be
given either at the De Soto or in the
