MAY COST TOO MUCH.
Mr.. Collins Figures for Removing

Mr.. Collins Figures for Removing
City Carthage Rather High.
IL is likely that the city will continue
TO haul its garbage beyond the city limits
in wagons. Alderman Dixon, chairman of
the Streets and Lanes Committee. receiv-
cd the proposition yesterday made by Mr..
j. s. Collins in behalf of the Savannah,
Thunderbolt and Isle CT Hope Railroad
for the removal of the garbage. 1t is be-
lieved. however that the figures are too
high.
When Mr.. Collins took this matter UP
some time since with Alderman Dixon
and Director Gadsden, the idea was quite
favorably received, and both sides were
inclined to think that an easy solution
of the garbage disposal question was in
sight The plan was for the street rail-
way company TO remove the garbage from
the crematory lot to the county farm,
where it would be received and distribut-
ed. After looking into the matter Mr..
Collins found that the expense to which
the company would be put in equipping
for the work would be considerable, and
he expr ssed the opini n at the time that
h s figures might lie too high for the city.
Besides providing special cars for the
work it would be necessary for the COM
pany to build spur tracks to the crema-
tory lot and on the county farm. The
Streets ard Lanes Committee will consid-
or the proposition, however, and possibly
some agr 7ement for TIE work may be ar
rived at.

Manager of Murphy g. Co.'S Office
Disappears. =


w. G. Mathews, manager Of the local
office in the Board of Trade building OF
Murphy & Co., the New York brokerage
firm which does large business in futures
on cotton, grain and stocks throughout
this section, has been missing since Satur-
day. and neither the agents of the firm
nor the detectives who have been employ
ed to locate him have been able to dis
cover his whereabouts
Mathews had only been in Savannah
about two months, succeeding former
Manager Knox. and was not generally
known outside of those who take an oc-
casional flyer in cotton or stocks. His abb
sence from the office was reported to the
firm, and an agent arrived here yesterday
to look into the matter. He was busy
yesterday in going over the books. The
only information given out was that the
manager Ind absented himself, and that
the investigation had not proceeded far
enough. as YET 10 show whether or not
there had been a shortage. Rumors on the
Bay however, are to the effect that the
shortage is between 5000 and $1,000, and
that 1t Is due to speculation in sugar
stock, Mathe-~s having gotten on the
wrong side of the market. This must have
been quite recent, a. the auditor of the
company was here only week ago, and
round the bs oks in apparently good shape.
Detective 81 Basch has been employed
on the case, but said last night that the
only information he could give was that
Mathews had left the city. 1t is known
that Mathews bought a ticket to Wash
ington and had his baggage checked to
that city, The baggage reached Washing
ton, but Mathews did not. and has not
done so as yet, so far as known.
