FOR MARINE HOSPITAL.
House Passed the Bill for It's Erec-
ton at savannah.

House PasseO the Bill TOT ltH Erec-
ton at savannah.
A dispatch to the Morning News from
Washington last night stated that the
House had passed bill for the erec-
ton of a marine hospital at Savannah,
fixing the limit of cost at $125,0O0. This
will be welcome news for those who
have watched the progress of this
measure and who have hoped for its
passage.
The House cut down the amount that
had been fixed by the Senate when the
bill was passed in that body. One hun
dred and twenty-five thousand dollars,
however, is the amount that was orig
inally proposed, and the friends of the
measure here have thought that would
prove sufficient for the erection of a
handsome commodious and thoroughly
adequate hospital.
1t is generally conceded that the loca-
ton of the marine hospital will be on
the southwest corner of Abercorn and
York streets, where a large lot is owned
by the government, and where the
foundations for a government building
were laid some years ago. 1t is said
that the government will buy addi-
tional property west of it's lot

A MORAL QUARANTINE.
Judge BARROW Says This Is First
Object of Rcformafory.


The great object in the establish
nent of a reformatory in this county
is the segregation-the moral quaran-
tine, of youthful criminals from the
cid and hardened offenders. This first
great object accomplished, everything
else can be added to it,
In these words Judge Pope Barrow,
of the Superior Court, summed up his
views on the subject of the reforma-
tory. 1t is largely due to him that the
effort to secure the establishment OF
such an institution in Chatham county
has been revived and that the effort
often made and as often abandoned
now bids fair to be crowned with sue
cess.
1T is blot upon the fair name of
the state that its sovereign power
should be used, in the name of JUS
tice, to destroy the moral character of
Juvenile offenders and to place them
beyond the pale of possible reforma-
ton. Yet this is just what is being
done under the present system. The
nrst thing to be accomplished is to
provide separate building for Offend
ers under the age of 16 years, where
the races and the sexes can be sepa-
rated.
This will mean much 1 believe
that the institution can be made large
~ or entirely self-suppoFting and even
IN twelve months, for which period of
time sentences may now be imposed
the character of a child may be very
largely changed. In such a space of
time he may be taught something at
least OF the habits of regularity, in
oustry cleanliness and honesty At
any rate he will not be made worse.
There is the start. In six months
the General Assembly of the state will
convene and an effort can then be
made to have the law passed at the
last session, which permits judges to
sentence juvenile offenders to impris-
onment in reformatories during their
minority, so amended that it will be
applicable in terms, to counties having
the population of Chatham l don't
doubt that such an amendment will
be easily obtained and once obtained,
all the advantages it will bring may
be added to the system already estab-
lished under the present law.
we should not wait, however, for
the passage of such an amendment, -
said Judge Barrow. ITO send small
beaten or persuaded into the commits
sion of crime by some hardened
wretch, to associate with men of the
stamp of him who seduced them from
honesty and right living is monstrous
perversion of justice.
mo man of broad views Of public
duty-no good man, who has investi-
gated the question, can oppose the es-
tablishment of reformatory. There
are not two sides to the question.
Ethically, the public duty in the prem
Uses cannot be doubted, and even from
the standpoint of political economy it's
advantages are almost self-evident. To
save even few of the children com
mitted to its care from lives of vice
and crime and debauchery would mean
an actual money saving to the state
/ earnestly and sincerely hope there
will be no unnecessary delays in the
establishment of reformatory in this
county."

Jasper Festival Committee Donates
Between 5000 and 300.
meeting of the Jasper Festival
Committee was held yesterday after
noon at the office of the chairman n,
Col. William Garrard, at which were
present the chairman, Gen. w. w. Cor
don; Capt. John Flannery, Col. ]. H.
Estill. Capt. ]. r. Dillon, Hon. Her
man Myers and Mr.. NJ. Boley. The
purpose of the meeting was to consider
an application from Mrs. George T.
Wilder, president of the Georgia So
ciety of Colonial Danes of America,
asking that the funds in the hands of
the committee be turned over to the
Colonial Danes for the purpose of
erecting a monument to Gen. Ogle-
thorpe.
The meeting was the first held since
Nov. Is, 1883. The Jasper Festival was
held on Feb. %. % and "a. 1888. At the
meeting in November of that year the
treasurer reported a balance on hand
and on motion of Col. Estill $500 was
set aside as a nucleus of a fund to
build monument to Gen. OgIethorpe
the founder of the colony of Georgia.
the balance to be appropriated to the
completion of the monument to Sergt.
William Jasper, and any amount re-
naming after the completion of the
Jasper monument to be added to the
Oglethorpe fund.
Col. Estill also moved that the Ex-
ecutive Committee of fhe Jasper Fes-
in n
for the purpose of erecting a suitable
monument to Gen. Oglethorpe, to be
known as the "Oglethorpe Monument
Association" and the chairman was
instructed to apply for a charter. I'm
der the resolution a charter was ap-
piled for, but nothing further was done
and the monument has been in abey-
ance ever since.
Mrs. Wilder's application was dis
GUESSED and it appears that there was
no. disposition on the part of the Fes-
tival Committee to organize as pro-
posed years ago. A resolution was
passed to the effect that the Festival
Committee would turn over what funds
there might be on hand to the Colonial
Danes whenever they contract for a
monument to Gen. Oglethorpe, provid-
ed it is done within the next five
years.
The funds now in the hands of the
committee, after paying for the com
pletion of the Jasper monument as
provided in the resolution passed in
1888, amount to between $500 and $780,
The members of the Festival Commit
tee expressed themselves heartily in
favor of the efforts of the Colonial
Danes to carry out their project to
erect monument to the founder of
the colony of Georgia.

CANS IN SWEAT BOX.

IAr

Step-SOn of Michael Schrenl< Cues
toned as to WhIsIxey Hill MUIR
der.
John Cans. step-son of old Michael
Schrenk, who. with Jacob Carter, his
clerk was the victim of the cruel muir
der at Whiskey Hill was subjected to
the first degree of the sweating process
yesterday morning, in an effort / , make
him confess that he knew more of the
ole mans death than he has yet told.
The effort was a fiat failure.
Cans was picked up while visiting
the city and was taken to the sheriff
office, where the close and rigid examl-
nation to which he was subjected was
conducted by Deputies OConror and
Westcott. BY the deputies the horrible
crime in which Schrenk and his clerk
lost their lives was painted in lurid
colors, and Cans was told that Ben
Nelson, a son-in-law of the dead man,
had been arrested, locked UP and had
confessed to a share in the commission
of the crime. This was stretching the
truth, as at the time Nelson was at his
hone, rear Whiskey Hill. twenty miles
from the city.
Despite all the efforts that were
made Cans could not be induced to
vary the story he told a Morning News
reporter at the time of the tragedy,
and which was printed then. He said
that Nelson, too, was absolutely inno-
cent, secuted the idea that he was in
Jail and said he had left him sick in
bed.
Before the officers had learned that
Cans was in the city Deputy Sweeny
had started to Whiskey Hill, for the
purpose of interviewing Cans and
Nelson. What he did on his trip could
| not be learned, as he did not return
to the city last night
Cans said that his mother, the wild
ow of old man Schrenk, had been des-
perately i'll from the time of the COM
mission of the double murder and that
when he left her it was scarcely ex-
pected she would survive the day

DELINQUENT DOG OWNERS.
VIII BE Fined If They Do Not Take
Out Licenses.

The recorder will not merely order
that delinquent owners of dogs be made
to pay 81 as a license when they are
brought before him. He will impose a
fine as well, and this means that a
double tax will be required of those
who may fail to take out the license.
Heretofore there has been a great deal
of work in the way of making out
summons for delinquents, and it is now
held that there should be some penalty
imposed upon those who fail to secure
their licenses without being summoned
Many have been in the habit of await

that they might be overlooked

Who Attended His Lecture.


Who Attended His Lecture.
Prof. Charles Lane, the Georgia
humorist," reeled off epigrams last
night in Trinity Hall to those who had
tramped through mud to hear him.
Because of the disagreeable weather
less than a hundred people heard the
lecture. The fact that they were sat
isfied was evinced by the frequent
laughter and applause. Lessons Not
Learned in Books" was the subject Of
the lecture, although a great many
of the things Prof. Lane said have ap-
peared in print if not in book form.
Several of his jokes admittedly "Wuz
considered a great wit in them days"
The appearance and manner of the
lecturer were as funny as the things
he said His facial expressions were at
times striking. and seemingly he en-
joyed what he said as much as did
those who had paid for the privilege.
Prof. Lane speaks with noticeable
rapidity. Without regard to what he
says it is amusing to hear him He
was introduced by Rev. j. A. Smith
pastor of Epwort tn Methodist Church.
