INAUGURATION OF AssouAN DAM
(By Associated Press.l

tBy Associated Press)
London. Aug. SIT is stated that
the prince of Wales and General
Kitchener win be present with the
lxhedive Of Egypt az the formal inau-
guration Of the great Assouan dam III
December. The dam at Assouan, the
LAST coping stone Of which was laid
with suitable ceremonies last week.
marks the completion Of the Nile res
ervoir whicn. with the exception Of
the Suez canal, is considered the
greatest of all the public works con
structed in Egypt during the British
occupation OF that land It is but
fitting therefore that its inauguration
should be attended by the heir to the
throne and the general who did so
much for the pacification of the upper
Nile region.
The new reservoir viii enable wide
tracts of land to bear TWO crops a year
instead Of one, will bring waste dis
tricts into tillage. and will greatly m
crease the area of sugar cultivation.
The reservoir will supply 100000. 900
cubic meters of water annually The
dam at Assouan is u miles long. It
is pierced by 1sO openings. which have
steel sluice gates
The news that the Nile reservoir
was to be begun was contained in an
announcement on February 20, 1898,
TO the effect that the Khedive in coun-
Gil had approved contract with John
Aird and Co.. which settled the much
debated question. The contract called
for the completion OF the two dams in
five years from July 1, 1898, and the
contractors agreed TO accept payments
by annual installments of 100000. be-
ginning on the completion of the dams
and extending over thirty years-a
total of s24,OO0,OOO. Work was begun
Immediately after the contract was
signed, and about year ago it vas
stated that progress had been so much
more rapid than had been expected
that there was reason to believe that
the undertaking would be completed
six months earlier than Vas originally
thought possible. Continuous employ
ment on the Assouan dam has been
given for the last eighteen months to
$4,000 operative. 80 per cen, of whom
are Egyptians.

fence shuts off passage across the
tracks at Thirty-ninth street. This
crossing was open until few years
ago. when it was closed by the Plant
System, which was permitted by the
city to close this and other streets in
return for certain concessions made it
by the Plant System. An agreement
was reached whereby the city would
not, for period of five years, open
any other streets than those that are
now. and were then, opened. This
term has expired, and the opening of
the streets to afford better and more
convenient communication, with a rap
idly developing section of the city is
sought.
Col. Estill and Mr.. Dorset bought
land east of the tracks from Mai John
Schwarz. Suit was later brought
against MAJ. SchWarz when the Plant
System closed up the crossing, as
roadway across the tracks had been
assured by a contract with the old
Atlantic and Gulf Railroad. The fence
that had been put up was about 10
be torn down, when the Plant Sys-
TENS general counsel secured an in
junction. There has never been
hearing of the case.
Will Be Great Improvement.
Many are interested in the opening of
the streets. Several end abruptly at
the tracks. They have combinations
on the east, but the. tracks have been
found barriers to the development of
the section. The East Side Improve
ment Club has an eye on the opening
of the streets. and a determined eff
fort to make the thoroughfares con-
tinuous will be seen.
The withdrawal of passenger traffic
from the Coast Lines tracks on the
East Side has meant a great decrease
in the number of trains. 1t is said
that this renders It less dangerous to
have grade crossings, and the estab-
lishment of the new ones the opening
of the streets would mean is not re-
garded with any uneaSiness.

TENDERS FOR STREET CARS.
Reasons why They should BE Adopt
cd in This City.

Editor of the Morning News: Sir
Much has been said recently about
equipping our street cars with some
human lives can be diminished, if not
entirely prevented, but when we re-
fleet upon the evolution of the system
and see the progress in one direction
and statistics in another we feel that
something should be done to relieve
the tension of an outraged public.
Fifteen years ago our street car sys-
tenn consisted of small, light cars, pull
ed by mules at a speed of four miles
per hour and controlled by hand
brakes. Then accidents were rare, as
the danger speed of the car. warning
and means of escape We're in equal
proportions. Since then things have
changed greatly; the cars are four
times as large and proportion
ately heavy. electricity has sup
planted mules, the speed in
creased from four to between
ten and twenty miles per hour. yet
controlled by the same old-t time brakes,
which are entirely inadequate, out of
date, and a contributor to SaVannah's
death rate.
Mr.. Maggie asserts. and Mr. Dixon
has convinced himself, that tenders do
not save lives. Their opinions are sad
ly at variance with those of civil en-
gineers, students of physics, and in
dicate ignorance of the law of gray
itation. l would suggest for them to
try an experiment of standing a lead
pencil Give inches long, on end, then
strike it about an inch from the base
a sudden blow with the edge of the
hand and observe where it falls~This
is an exact illustration of the functions
of tenders and Will, l am sure, con-
vince them of their error.
AS they now are, the front of the
cars are two and a half feet from the
ground, which, when striking a person,
knocks him down, draws him under
till he strikes the motor, which is so
low it grinds him to pieces in event
he misses the wheels. Tenders are ad-
Justed to catch a person just above
tce ankles, which knocks his feet from
under him and the momentum pitches
him into the net, where he could be
carried any distance without material
injury.
Mr.. Dixon spoke of the frequency
of accidents on the Brooklyn system.
but l am sure 1t cannot beat Savan-
nah's latest record of one week. though
il ramifys a city of l. 1856, 900 souls with
cars adequate TO handle them in COM
parisOn with a $4,000 population city
and a street ear system of like pro-
portion.
1t is true that cole or more Of our
city fathers are interested. financially
in the street railway. but il is a queer
father who thinks more OF his real
estate than of the life and limb of his
family. IL is in their power TO remedy
matters, for the charter OF the street
railway makes il subject 10 ordinances

DAN WlNDHAM DROWNED.
Young boy Met Death in the River
at ThunderbOIt.

Dan Windham, the 14-year-old son
of Mrs. NJ. ]. Windham, of No. ia East
Broad street. was drowned yesterday
morning at about II o'clock at Thun-
derbolt Two boy companions, who went
with. him TO go in swimming were ar
rested. it being thought possible that
they had had something to do with
Windham's death, but this suspicion
proved untenable, and they were re-
leased.
The three lads went to Thunderbolt
on bicycles. Arrived there, they left
their bicycles at store, while they
went down the bluff and out upon the
pier in front of Mayor L. w Nelson's
home. They then began to strip for a
bath, unmipdful of the Thunderbolt
law against what is regarded as not
the most modest of actions.
In some way young Wyndham lost
his footing, falling to the water be-
low. 1t is thought he must have
struck his head in his fall. rendering
him unable to keep afoat.
Young Merkens told Policeman Clar-
ence Sandiford that he went over af-
ter Wyndham, but that he could not
SAVE Hill ne caught nOtd OF the
drowning lad, but could not get him
to shore.
Seeing Windham sink, the other lads
became frightened. They hurried on
their clothes and went back to the
store, where. without saying anything
of the drowning to anyone, they took
the three wheels, and. trundlng one
of them, rode back to the city.
Merkens went to Mrs. Windham's
home and told of the drowning of her
son. The mother was grief-stricken,
but soon efforts were made to recover
the body. An uncle of the boy went
to Thunderbolt where negroes were
hired TO grapple the bottom of the
river for the remains. At midnight
the body had not been found
Young Windhams trousers were
found in the marsh. near the pier. His
hat, coat and shoes We're found hid
den near the bluff. This aroused sus-
picion, and young Merkens was ar
rested by the marshal at Thunderbolt.
He was held unt:l late last night and
released. The other lad was arrested
in the city by the police, but was also
released. They told conflicting stories
about the drowned boys clothes. bur
it was concluded that this was because
of their fright.
