A Funny Surprise.

This story is told by man who dis
likes nothing so much as to be asked

Of seashells," he said, "and, having
been called to Atlantic City on bust
ness one day, took advantage Of the
opportunity to run down to the beach
to see if could pick up few. waa
strolling along the sand, gathering a
few shells and pebbles, which I placed
in my handkerchief, when along came
one Of those old idiots who ask ques
lions with their mouths which their
eyes could answer.

day, isn't it? Are you gathering shellsf

'He expressed his sympathy, and
then his face lit up as his eye caught
sight Of pink and white object on the
sand. We'll, declared Here they are
nowp he exclaimed, and, sure enough,
he picked up a set of false teeth lying
right at his feet. I was too surprised
to do anything but grab them and put
them in my pocket. The funny part of

my life. 1 wonder who that false set

The Diseased Rich at Bnden-Baden,

WANTS ANOTHER FIGHT.
CorcOran Thinks He Can Beat Burke
and Wants Another Try at 1t.

There Were plenty of echoes yesterday
from the prize fight of the night before
Not few people were disposed to doubt
that Burke is Burke. He was alleged on
various pretexes, to be about every we'll
known welter weight that could be
thought of off-hand. Matte Matthews,
Joe Bernstein, and Owen Zeigler are but
a few of the many persons that he was
alleged to be. But Burke and his man
ager, persons that ought to know, assert
that he is only Burke and nothing more
Corcoran. when seen yesterday, showed
but little damage, as the result of the
fight of the night before, and not only
reiterated his desire to arrange another
match with Burke but said that he had
been to see him about the matter, but
finding that he was unable of himself
to conclude arrangements tried. but with
out success, to see his manager.
Corcoran is still of the opinion express
sed by both himself and his seconds inn
mediately after the fight. that he vas
over-confldent, and not only held his adj
versary too cheaply, but also made the
fight too fast from the first. Said Cor
coran. 81 am sure that / can win if I
get another fight with Burke, and if I
don't get another fight 1t will be through
no fault of mine. l am willing to meet
him under any management and any reas-
enable conditions. Anything for another
match"

A COMPANY FOR M'RAE.
That Town, Instead of Mt. Vernon,
viii Form "a Command.

McRae, instead of Mt. Vernon, will fur
nish company of infantry to be added
to the First Regiment. MIR. w. B. Kent
who has been active at Mt. Vernon in
the effort to raise a company, has notified
Col. L. S. Wylly, Jr, by telegraph that
he could not raise the requisite number
of men. The fathers and mothers of Mt.
Vernon and vicinity seemed 10th to allow
peared to leave them open to the posi-
biiity of being called away 10 war. Mr..
Kent expressed his regret that he was
unable to get the required number to-
gether, but said that efforts would, never
theless, be continued.
No difficulty exists in getting a company,
though, as many towns are anxious for
the privilege. Mt. Vernons failure may
not leave Montgomery county without a
company, for Hon. Max l.. McRae, repre-
sentative in the Legislature, telegraphed
Col. Wylly to ascertain if there might be
a vacancy in the First Regiment. MIR.
Kent's communication having been re-
ceived, Col. WHY notified Capt McRae,
who lives at McRae that there was a
vacancy. Capt. McRae telegraphed that
ne would raise a company within ten
days. The McRae company will be added
to the Third Battalion of the Regiment
Col. w. G. Obear, inspector general
will muster in the McRae company and
the Sylvania company as soon as they are
III readiness. The Sylvania company ia

general will probably muster in the two

His Mothers Residence.

The funeral of Mr.. Harry P. Wilson,
whose death was announced in the Morn
ing News, took place yesterday morning
at IL o'clock, from the residence of his
mother, No. AIS Charlton street, east. The
funeral was largely attended, and Mr..
Wilson's fellow clerks in the Plant Sys-
tenn were present in a body. The pail
bearers. selected from them were Messrs.
Lowndes Wathour, Steve williams, Her.
bert Freeman, Earnest Furrer, Jack
Murphy and Jack Buckley. Mr.. Buckley
accompanied young Wilson from Den
yer. and had it not been for his devotion
and care the young man would probably
not have lived to reach his home. The
services were conducted by Rev. John D.
Jordan, pastor of the First Baptist
Church, and the interment was in Laurel
Grove Cemetery. The floral tributes were
numerous and beautiful

As mark of esteem the freight Office

work Indicates That.
The progress with the house drainag
work induces Director of Public Works
Gadsden 20 believe that his estimate as
to the time required for it's completion
will prove correct. He calculated that
the work could be finished by May 1.
when the season during which the streets
may be up-turned expires.
AS the wo progresses, it becomes a
little less difficult. The depths at which
the pipe has to be laid are not so great,
and .ess time and labor are required for
digging the bitches and filling them in
after the pipe has been laid. 1t is not so
difficult, either, to contend with the wa
ter, which is fouu1 in such quantity when
a considerable depth has to be attained.
Five gangs are now employed upon the
sewer work Three of these work upon
the mains, one on Castor street, one on
Forty-second and one on Florence street
Within few days the gang on Forty
second street will have to pass its line
under the tracks of the Plant System.
This, however, is something that has
been accomp ished many times, and no
especial difficulty is anticipated. on For
ty-first street and on Hardin street gangs
are employed in rum ing lateral lines.

Wait Until Election Is Ordered.

wait Until Election is uroereu-
The meeting of the United Club to-
morrow night promises to be largely at
tended The committee of twenty expects
then to be able to name a permanent
president and secretary. AS yet no one
has been decided upon, but a member
of the committee stated last night that
a good man would be secured before the
meeting of the club. Just who the m M
bers of the new organization are figuring
on could not be learned and will not be
made public until he agrees to accept the
office.
1t is said that the club intends to make
no Endorsement for the office of ordinary
for some time yet and certa My not be-
fore an election has been ordered by the
County Commissioners. The regular
monthly meet ng of the county board wi
be held on Feb a. and no doubt an cleo
ton will be ordered at that time.
The forces of Mr.. j. S. Collins are &C.
lively at work. and it is said that ward
meetings of both black and white are
frequent Mr. Collins appears to be the
only probable candidate who has already
begun the organization of his forces and
already a campaign committee has been
named by his supporters and is at work
in his behalf. 1t Is said that MIR. Collins
friends have already started a campaign
fund, and that they will have first
class organization for their favorite by
the time an election for the office is or
dered. While Mr.. Collins has not yet
made a public announcement that he is
in the rare, there appears to be 40 doubt
but that he will be in the field.
Very little is heard from the support
ers of the other probable candidates al
though several ward meetings have been
held in the interest of Maj. Screven The
friends of the other gentlemen seem to
think that it is time enough to start a
campaign after the date for the election
Is named. They contend that 1t is need
less to spend their energy before the
campaign really begins Another posi-
BILE candidate for the office of superin-
tendent of police, in the event of the
election of Maj. Screven,' has bobbed up.
The name of Mr.. william +. Blos. ex-
sheriff of the City Court, has been made

with this office.

TO REPAIR STREETS AGAIN.
Force of the Southern Asphalt Conn
pany to Resume Work.

The force of street PAYERS of the South
ern Asphalt Paving Company is expected
in Savannah soon for another effort upon
the city's asphalt streets. The director Of
public works has been advised by the COM
pany that the repairing force will arrive
here within few days. and that stay
Of sufficient duration to complete the nee
essary repairs will he made.
Congress street is probably in greatest
need of the attention of the repairers.
They paid that street a visit before
Christmas patching it here and there. bur
not giving it nearly the amount of work
It required. Bull street is also in need
of the Offices of the repairers, and many
might suppose it to be in greatest need
of all the asphalt streets. This, however,
Is because of Bull street being more fire.
quented and the observation Of the cracks
and breaks in the asphalt being more
general.
1t is understood that the Warren
Scharf Company. by which Oglethorpe
avenue and York and President stress,
on either side of the Court House, were
paved, has or will turn over to the
Southern Company its contract with the
city. By this contract the Warren
streets it paved wi hin proper repair for
five years. The city has not been adv,s d
officially that such a transfer of the OBJ
legation of the Warren Scharf Company
has been or will be made.
The Southern Company has the con-
tract for keeping asphalt streets in re-
pair in Savannah. Some of these street
have not been laid five years, and the
company under its contract to lay the
pavement, is bound to make all necessary
repairs within five years. Bull street,
Congress and Liberty do not come with n
the five years contract, for the reason
that the pavements were not laid within
that time
Drayton street and Oglethorpe avenue
are holding up well. The pavements have
shown very few breaks. These will be
repaired, and the streets will be in about
as good condition as when they were
first paved.
Director of Public Works Gadsden said
yes erday that the streets that are paved
with vitrihed brick are demonstrating the
wisdom of the choice of that material.
Where traffic is heavy, the life of vitri-
fed brick is about fifteen years Where
traffic is no heavier, however, than it
has been upon the streets in Savannah
that are paved with the material, there
is no reason, Mr.. Gadsden said, why the
pavement should not last twenty-five
years.
