mel. that conform to the original plans
suggested and drawn in the rough by
Chairman of Council James NJ. Dixon,
were adopted by the city and the Sa-
vannah Electric Company at a con-
ference held yesterday at the City Ex-
change.
President George ]. Baldwin and
Manager c. B. Kidder were present
representing the street railway COM
pany. The plans drawn by Assistant
Engineer John Howard contemplate a
wider roadway in the tunnel and it
will be possible for a vehicle to pass
through the tunnel without going on
the tracks of the street railway. 9th
erwise the plans are the same as those
described already in the Morning
News.
There will be a 5 per cent. grade
and there will be no necessity for a
pump under the bridge. Mayor My
ers says that as the situation now ap-
pears 1t should be a matter of only
about ten days before bids are adver-
tised for. The plans adopted by the
city and street railway company have
been turned over to the director of
public works to be submitted to En-
gineer Tutwiler of the Atlantic Coast

REV. BASCOM ANTHONY
ON DEER HUNT.
Former Pastor of Trinity Makes LO-
cal observations.

cal Observations.
Rev. Bascom Anthony, former pas
tor of Trinity Church, this city, and
now presiding elder of the North Ma
con District, was in Savannah yester-
day, on his way home after spending
several days deer hunting on Ossa-
Raw Island. In the party besides Rev
Mr.. Anthony, were his brother, judge
of ordinary of Johnson county, Mr.. E.
X Demmond and Mr.. r. ]. Davant of
this city. The hunters got four deer.
Mr.. Anthony is in the best of health,
and his only regret was that his short
time in the city prevented him from
seeing more of his friends here. He
likes his present position, but says, In
characteristic fashion, that he is about
STALLED on yellow legged chickens and
bankers after some of the fish dinners
of this city and vicinity"
LAS long as / know what niggers
is watching the chicken coop, so long
will know what to expect to find when
l gets there" said Mr.. Anthony when
asked for an expression on local affairs.
I'm very much like that fellow that
was called to serve on the jury. When
the clerk said prisoner, look upon the
juror juror look upon the prisoner;
the juror looked up at the judge and
said: 1 think he's guilty on gineral
principles And that's me, bud. I'd
convict on gineral principles. 1 do no
tice, though, that two handsome bank
buildings have gone up since I've been
away"

The Christmas Dinner.

In spite of the fact that the word
dyspepsia means literally bad cook, it
blame on the cook if they begin the
Christmas dinner with little appetite
and end it with distress or nausea.
1t may not be fair for any to do that
let us hope so for the sake of the
cook! The disease dyspepsia indicates
a bad stomach; that is, a weak stom-
ach, rather than a bad cook, and for
a weak stomach there is nothing else
equal to Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t gives
the stomach vigor and tone, cures dys-
pepsia, creates appetite, and makes
eating the pleasure it should be.

One of the gentlemen most deeply
interested in the matter said that it
begins to look as if the roads are
seeking opportunities to increase their
charges on lumber and such things.
They have increased charges, added
transfer charges, and now seek to add
storage charges, when as a matter of
fact it is the fault of the roads them
selves that lumber has to lie on the
wharves more than thirty days, for
they can't or won't supply the cars
needed to complete cargoes by bring
ing the remainder of the stuff needed
from the mills.
Lumber now is at the lowest price it
has brought in from three to six
months, being sold at a price that on
the basis of the present value of
stumpage makes it Improbable to the
manufacturer to cut it. While this
may be true of the entire trade, and
not necessarily confined to Savannah,
the local men have been further badly
hurt by the recent strikes on the
Ocean Steamship Company and the
Merchants and Miners Company in
that not only could they not ship the
lumber already sold and for which de-
