DOWN IN A SALT MINE.

Must BE set Aside.
It is only the e'Hct among travellers
WHO find their way to BerchtesgadGa.
In Bavaria, not very far from Salz-
burg. writes correspondent of the
London Taller. If sou drive in a car
riage from thence oy road, you are
stopped midway at a customs house
and find yourself leaving Aus @.an ter
ritory for Bavarian. Berchtesgaden is
beautifully situated, and it has two
noteworthy attractions one OF them
the Konigsee, thought by many the
most bca utiful lake in the world, and
the other the salt mines. A visit to the
salt mines gives one an exciting hour.
Many t&%rists take tickets at the top,
but many of the fair sex are deferred
from using them when they see the
costume that is rendered essential to
the visit. In other words, they have to
abandon skirts and adopt a special
"rig out" One may frequently observe
that ladies, torn between what they
Consider modesty and curiosity, so two
or three times to the mines before they

don the attire and pay the visit.
The necessity for women to abandon
the usual garment arises from the fact
that a portion of the mine can only be
visited through the medium of kind
of slide This slide is, however, the
best thing in the whole visit. 1t is a
great deal better than tobogganing,
and, as one is in the dark and with
only a candle fastened TO ones dress
it is not little exciting.
The strangest incident in the trip is
that of the illumination of what is
called '"the salt lake." You are rowed
across this lake in almost absolute
darkness, the illumination being pro-
vided by a number of miners lamps
round the lake, and the Journey has a
very considerable weirdness. The next
best experience in the trip rs the final
ride into daylight on the trucks. This
is Journey through absolute darkness
for very considerable way until final
ly one sees a little CLEAN of light in
the distance. Altogether, as l have
said, between the toboggan slide, the
car ride and the boat journey across
the salt lake the visitor to the Berch-
tesgaden salt mine has plenty for his
money. But, curiously enough, he sees
very little salt. At any rate, the pre-
pared salt that one uses on ones break
fast table is not at all in evidence.

One Rrfck short.

Richard NJ. Hunt, the architect, used
to relate that in his younger days,
while supervising the erection of a
brick building, a recent arrival from
Cork applied for job and was en-
ployed as a hodcarrier after being in
structed that he must always carry up
fourteen bricks in his hod. One morn
ing the supply of bricks ran out, and,
do his best, the new man could find
but thirteen to put in his hod. In an
swer to a loud yell from the street one
of the masons on the sixth story
shrieked down:
what do you want?"
"Trow me down wan brick" said
Pat, pointing to his hod, "to make me
nuL4ber good"-New York Times.

Mayor Has no Intention of Forcing
the Switchboard Plan.
Mayor Myers was asked yesterday il,
in view of the opposition of one of the
aldermen, the Georgia Telephone
switchboard would be put in the City
Exchange. He said that he had no de-
sire to force the switchboard upon
Council. and it will be for Council to
determine whether it shall be put in
"The switchboard would be a con-
venience," said the Mayor, land it can
be put in at the same cost as the Geor-
gia, telephones that are now in use.
There would be the advantage of a
phone in every office, which is not now
enjoyed. The salary of the operator
of the switchboard would have to be
met by the city, but that would not be
large. The advantages would offset
this cost. I have no interest in the
matter. other than the belief that 1t
would be a convenience that would be
found valuable. Council. of course.

MAY REDEEM THE LAND.
The Eastern Portion of Fig Island
May BE Utilized.

The Eastern Portion of Fig Island
May BE Utilized.
If the city proves it's claim to the
ownership of the eastern half of Fig
Island, the property may be offered to
Mr.. John Rourke for his projected dry
dock and marine railway. Some time
ago Mr.. Rourke petitioned the City
Council, that he be given or sold site
on the city's island property, that would
be suitable for a dry dock No action
was taken, and again Mr.. Rourke petit
toned.
Desiring to ascertain what titles
Thomas E. Shiels had to the property,
the Mayor issued orders to the city
marshal to tear down a shanty that had
recently been erected by H. M. Nor
gan, the tenant. The tearing down of
the shanty was enjoined, as has been
reported in the Morning News. The
case will soon be heard in the courts.
Mayor Myers thinks the property,
with some work expended upon it.
would be available for marine rail-
way. 1t has been said that it would
be used for the big dry dock that is to
be constructed here. but the Mayor.
who is one of the incorporators of that
company, said that another site is I'M
der consideration.
The popular idea has been that the
eastern portion of Fig Island is insult
ed for any purpose save that to which
1t is devoted, the raising of hogs. The
western portion is somewhat higher.
and not subject to overflow in nor'east-
ers. The titles of Thomas E. Shiels
to the western portion are not disputed
by the city. No records, it is said.
however, can be found to show that he
owns the eastern portion.

The Crittenton Mission for fallen wo-
men, which is to be installed in We'll
lington, near Thunderbolt. was not
opened yesterday as at one time it was
thought it would be, and will not be
opened for several days yet. The delay
in starting the work is due to the de-
sire on the part of the board of control
that everything be in first class con-

1t was known. of course. when the
property was bought that there would
be a number of repairs and improve
ments necessary before the home
would be in a condition for ths work
that it is intended shall be installed
there, but these repairs and improve
ments have proved much more extern
sive than was counted on and hence
the delay.

stitution has decided that to properly
carry on the work there should be "a

The trip of the King and Queen

much you have. You don't let 1t run

do you say to the bank that in case
you should die before wanting to draw
this interest, it can 'swipe" it all. OF
course, you are no such goose as TO
do a silly thing like that. Are you
carrying a tontine policy? If so, then
you have in fact signed an agreement
to do that very thing Do you want
to know more about this matter? Then

WILL MAKE CANE SYRUP.
New Industry Started mt Potter's
Grove Plantation


Potter's Grove, a famous place above
Savannah. on the Savannah river, has
been converted into a sugar cane plan
tation. The crop is now ready for the
harvest, and boiling will begin to-mor-
row.
The Potter Land Company owns the
place and is operating it. Messrs. La
mar Keller. D. C. Newland and Ches-
mutt & O'Neil are interested. They be-
lieve that a plantation, devoted ex-
clusively to the culture of sugar cane
and the convention of the succulent
stalks into the famous Georgia cane
syrup" will pay.
A modern plant for making syrup
has been erected by the company. This
has been at considerable expense, but
those interested are convinced that the
best equipment will pay eventually, as
the product will be the finest possible
for sugar cane plantation. Every
effort will be devoted to the cultiva-
ton Of the cane and to the manufac-
ture of the syrup. No glucose or chem
icals will be used in making the syrup
which will be absolutely pure. Con-
sumers viii welcome the opportunity to
secure such syrup from the retail deal
ers who may handle it.
Messrs. Henry Solomon & Son will
handle the syrup for the company. At
first the product will be distributed in
barrels half-barrels and kegs. Later
still smaller receptacles will be en-
ployed, and it may be bought in gallon
half-gallon and quart cans. The syrup
will doubtless be generally sought.
The company extends an invitation to
the public to visit the plantation and
syrup plant, which may be reached by
the Augusta road. Such a visit would
be found decidedly interesting while
the grinding and boiling are in prog
ress.

WANTS $4,000 DAMAGES.
p. C. McCIifford Filed Suit for That
Amount Against Central.


One of the largest damage suits filed
in the City Court this year was filed
yesterday morning by Mr.. C. T. Lad
son of Atlanta, who has been spending
several days in the city. The suit is
filed in behalf of Patrick C. McClifford
against the Central of Georgia Rail-
way for the recovery of $4,000 for per-
sonal injuries.
McClifford alleges in his petition that
as the result of the negligence of the
company's agents he was thrown from
the top of a rapidly moving freight
car, striking upon pile of lumber and
injuring himself for life. The accident
occurred near the Southern Cotton Oil
Company's yards ON the first of Octo-
Der. McClifford, who was then a brake
man in the employ of the company.
was engaged in the performance of his
regular duties. He was on top of the
leading car of a number which were
being drilled into the yards of the cot
ton oil company.
AS the cars neared the gate to the
yards he discovered that they had been
closed. He signalled at once to the
engineer to stop his train, but disre-
garding the signal, he alleges. the en-
gineer ran his engine on at a high rate
of speed. The car struck the gate
with such force that it was derailed,
McClifford being precipitated to the
ground.
He claims that as the result of the
injury he is incapacitated for life from
the performance of manual labor. A
flying piece of timber struck him in
the eye, causing the loss of that mem
Der. He received a conclusion of the
brain and of the spine, and many other
lesser injuries, In consideration of his
previous earning capacity and his ex-
pectancy, he asks that the court re-
quire the defendant to pay him $780, 900
for the injuries resulting through its
negligence

The remains of the negro John Will
liams, who was fatally injured on the
wharves OF the Ocean Steamship Com
pany Friday while putting the stages
in position, were removed from the
Georgia Infirmary to the home of Will
liams' wife yesterday.
The body was turned over to the
woman by the hospital authorities, and
no inquest was held. There was no
question but that the mans death was
caused by the accident, and Coroner
Keller decided that an inquest was not
necessary.
In all cases where there have been
eye-witnesses, or where there has been
an attending physician, the coroner
holds that no inquest should be held.
The accident that cost Williams his
life was witnessed by several persons,
and, too, the injured man received the
attention of a physician.

CAUGHT TWO BURGLARS.

Wanted fn Jacksonville.

Chief Deputy Sweeney Landed Men
Wanted I'm Jacksonville.
Said to be burglars of no ordinary
ability. Richard Scruggs, alias Red
Dick. and James Rohan. alias Smokey,
both negroes, were arrested last night
near the Union Station by Chief Depu-
ty Sheriff Sweeney and Deputies Hart
igan and LilienthaI.
The prisoners are charged with be-
ing fugitives from justice. They are
said to be badly wanted in Jackson
Vile for grand larceny, and the au-
thorities in that city have been notified
of the arrest. Chief Sweeney had re-
ceived a letter from the chief of po-
lice of Jacksonville asking for the ar
rest OF the two men, and 1t was upon
the descriptions furnished that they
were arrested. The negroes have been
in Savannah about two weeks.
