New-York falls short of the liberal provision
which 1t should furnish of public baths for the
masses. 1t wastes millions of dollars every
year in prodgal misuse of the public funds to
fill the pockets of politicians with unwashed

BRUNSWICK NOTES.

Brunswick, Ga, July 27.-Represen-
tatives of the p. Sanford Ross Dredg-
ing Company are here taking soundings
on the wharf frontage property recent
ly acquired by the Brunswick and Bir-
mingham Railroad. From soundings
taken back some eight hundred feet
into the marsh land. there are indica-
tons of a mari bed about five feet I'M
der the surface, and this is regarded
as good in the way of saving on bulk
heads, when the big slips are dredged
out. Work on the slips and docks Will
be commenced shortly.
After one week of prayer, sermons
and song services, the Second Advent
list Convention will adjourn tomorrow
morning, although services will be held
by visiting elders during the day. The
convention has proven very helpful to
a large number of people, and the par

A STEEL CASTING COMBINE.
May Result In Move to STANDARDIZED
Car Couples.

Chicago, July 27.-Another steel COM
bination, embracing the principal
plants engaged in making steel castings
is to be formed.
The nucleus of the consolidation is
the American Steel Casting Company,
of Chester, Pa. 1t is probable that
Daniel Egan will be chosen president
with headquarters at New York or
Philadelphia.
The companies in the combine make
many steel castings for railroads, and
1t is believed there will be a great saw
ing to consumers in the number of pat
terms used. At the present time there
are about 100 different styles of car
ccuplers complying with the require
ments Of the master car builders asso-
citation and the interstate commerce
commission.
A movement will be made to stand
ardize" by adopting three or four
standard patterns and thus avoid the
necessity of forcing a railroad to carry
a stock of parts for so many styles of
couplers. The steel casting companies
own some of the principal patterns and
will refuse to make couplers for those
outside the combine.

TO PUT THE KNIFE IN DEEP.
Virginia's Judiciary System 10 BE
RevoIutiOnized.

Richmond, Va. July 27.-The consti-
tutional convention held a very brief
session to-day. There were quite a
number of resolutions and memorials,
but all interest conferred in the read
ing of the report by Mr.. withers of the
committee on reduction of expenses,
revolutionizing- the judiciary of the
state. The committee put the knife
deep into this matter and uprooted the
present system. The county and cir
cult court systems of the state are
abolished and a system entirely new is
recommended.
The state is to be divided into twen-
ty circuits and the judges who preside
over these shall take the places of
both the present county and circuit
judges. They are to be paid $1,000 per
annum and $3.50 per year for expenses
instead of mileage as at present. Each
circuit shall have prosecuting attor-
ney, whose salary shall be $500 per
annum. There shall be at least three
terms of court in each circuit each
year. The abolition of corporation
courts in cities of less than 1850 in
habitants is recommended and duties
put upon the circuit court. This re-
duces the number of court officials
rum elBHC corporation Judges, eighty
five county judges, los corporation and
county court clerks and 10S common
wealth's attorneys. and all the present
circuit judges. to twenty judges, twen-
ty attorneys and one hundred clerks.
Mr.. Summers of Washington county
presented a sweeping resolution pre-
scribing most rigid oath to be taken
by all public officials elected in the
state, including United States Senators
and congressman, setting forth that
they have not directly nor indirectly
either used or permitted to be used
any money or liquor or other valuable
thing, and have not made any promise
of appointment, in order to secure
their election.

SOUND OF HEAVY GUNS.
British Expert Shows They Can BE
Heard for 40 Miles.

London. July IA remarkable rec
ord has been recently brought to light
concerning the distances at which the
firing of heavy guns can be heard.
These discoveries have an important
bearing upon rainmaking experiments.
and throw sidelights upon the Samp-
son-Schley controversy. An expert
named c. Dawson, made elaborate
Preparations to take observations of
fleet firing when the late Queen Vic
torias body was taken from Cowes to
Portsmouth. The result of these OBJ
serVatjons established the fact that
the reports of the heavy guns were
Clearly audible at the extraordinary
distance of lao miles inland, while at
distance of 81 miles the reports were
so loud that laborers in the fields put
down their spades to listen, and at 81
miles from the guns windows were
shaken and other symptoms of concus-
sion were shown not usually connect
ed with anv but adjacent detonations.
These statements bear upon the Samp-
son Schley controversy in so much as
Admiral Schleys statement, made
May %, 1898 concerning the hearing
of guns forty miles away which he be-
lieved was the Spanish fleet, was re-
ceived by many persons with consid-

The new "cow law which was pass

tween private citizens and the police
force.
Some interested citizen takes it upon
himself to visit the pound" every
night or two and tear down the fence,
the police have been unable to detect
this party or parties, and it is causing
no small amount of worry. The majority
of our citizens are in favor of the law,
and want it rigidly enforced.
Those who are soliciting contracts
for the new sewerage system, are meet
ing with much success, and the City
Council will take definite action in the
matter Monday night.

SPEARS SPOKE FOR NEGRO.
Majority Pay Their Taxes, Their
Debts and obey the Law.

Montgomery, Ala, July 27-Mr
Spears of st. Clair resumed his speech
against the suffrage clause when the
constitutional convention opened this
morning. He said the majority of ne
groes paid their taxes, their debts and
cbeyed the law. Three-fifths of the ag-
ricultural labor of the state was done
by negroes. He contended that they
should have some voice in making the
laws and saying who shall govern.
Continuing, he said:
There are 100000 negroes in this
state. Do We want to make enemies of
these people? What becomes of our
states doctrine? Do we want to teach
100000 people to look to Washington
for protection and justice rather than

AS to the grandfather clause, he said
it was not premeditated fraud, but
miserable makeshift. He stood with
Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln, the i'm
mortal spirits who stood for popular
liberties and the rights of people.

the majority report.
