Vored the establishment of bridges.
The War Department then desired him
to ascertain how long would be re-
quired to make the changes. From
the City of Augusta the reply came
very soon. 1t was shown that the
draws could be put in by Jan l, 1904
No such celerity was displayed by
the Southern Railway. Col. Quinn
said that he has never been informed
when that road would be willing to
guarantee the draws to be in Operat-
ing condition. He is under the inn
preston that there is rather a con-
troversial feeling between the South
ern, which does not want to establish
the draws. and the interests that want
them put in the bridges. 1t is this
feeling that the government desires to
overcome, so there will be another
hearing, and its chief object will ne to
settle and agree upon the date by
which the improvement may be made
Col. Quinn is not quite sure as to
when the new hearing will be held. He
is member of the coast defense board
that will meet soon in New England
and, If he attends that meeting and
with the other members devotes his
time to a consideration of the maneu-
Vers to be ordered, it will scarcely be
possible for him t. have the hearing
upon the bridge question until late in
the fall. Should Col. Quinn, however,
as is not unlikely, not attend the as
sembly of the board, he will probably
have the hearing at such early date as
may suit the convenience of the par
ties at interest who may desire to at
tend.

REHEARING in AUGUSTA
DRAWBRIDGE CASE
Order Received by Col. Quinn from the War
Department.

Lieut. Col j. B. Quinn, United
States Engineer in charge of the river
and harbor work of this district said
yesterday that a rehearing in the mat
ter of the establishment of draws in
the bridges over the Savannah river at
Augusta must be held. This order has
reached him from the War Depart
ment at Washington.
In April there was a hearing before
Col Quinn in this city, which was at
tended by a number of the represen-
tative citizens of Augusta, Some ap-
peared to urge that draws be placed
in the bridges owned by the City of
Augusta and the Southern Railway,
while others represented the interests
that did not desire this costly improve
ment to be made.
1t was urged by those desiring to
have bridges with draws that such an
innovation would mean that the river
would be rendered navlgable for dis
tance of two or three miles farther to-
ward its source, and that the various
industrial enterprises upon its banks
above Augusta would thereby be Civ
en- the advantage of water transporta.
ton, with the consequent convenience
and the saving that would result in
transportation rates.
Advocates of draws carried their
point with Col. Quinn. His recon-
mendation to the War Department IA

circumstances. Buchsbaum has "A bak-

MERCURY UP TO
NlNETY-FIVE AGAIN.

Savannah is losing it's reputation as
a summer resort with the records made
during the present week. Yesterday
the mercury climbed to 95 degrees,
and while very few people really
thought that the day was as hot as
Sunday, this was likely on account of
being work day, when the. majority
had much to do besides watching the
tube. The day started out fairly we'll,
with only 7S degrees as the minimum,
but the upward tendency was persis-
tent and strong, and. at 4 o'clock the
record of Sunday was reached. BY s
o'clock the mercury got down to 50
degrees. The indications for to-day
are showers and light variable winds.

W. H. Haslip and his son Henry,
who, for the past two weeks have been
making changes in the face of Warsaw
Island looking for buried treasure, like
the Turk folded their tents and quietly
left yesterday afternoon, buying tick
cts direct to Philadelphia. With them
they carried a trunk that had been in
the depot here since their arrival, and
on which they paid storage. They
brought their clothes with them in
satcheIs, and carried these to the Turk
ish Bath. where they stopped when
not at work at Warsaw. This trunk
was heavier by several pounds when
it left here than it was when it came,
and no one knows whether or not this
means that the men were successful
apd found the gold coin and silver plate
supposed to have been buried.
When Mr.. Haslip and his son came
here some time ago they had several
grips with them in which were the
necessary clothes for the trip. Yester-
day afternoon the elder Haslip re-
turned to the city and packed his
grips.
Before going up to his room Mr. Has
lip asked the manager of the Turkish
Bath to telephone for a transfer wagon.
He gave the driver of the wagon
check for a trunk from the Southern
Railway. When the transfer man re-
turned with the trunk, which was of
the steamer variety, Haslip ordered
hack. placed the trunk in it, paid his
bill and departed This was the last
seen of him. The manager said he
thought he could recall the hackman.
and find out where Mr.. Haslip went
from the bath. but up to a late hour
his identity had not been discovered.

from the dray to the hack" said the
it was unusually light, and l remarked
that he must have it full of straw hats.
He laughed and said that he would
soon have it heavy enough for three
men to handle. l attached no special
significance to his words until he was
gone, and then l remembered his con-
nection with the quest for the treasure
at Warsaw. 1 don't know the name
of the hackman, but would know him
if l were to see him again. 1t Is my
idea that Mr.. Haslip bought tickets di-
rect for Philadelphia, for just before
leaving he went to the telephone and
asked the fare by steamer and what
it was by rail. He also wanted to
know the excess baggage rate"
MIR. Haslip so far as could be learn
ed, made no arrangement for the
transfer of any gold coin into New
York Exchange before leaving here,
neither did he send a trunk by express
to Philadelphia, and it is believed that
if he really did succeed in unearthing
the treasure that he had 1t checked
through as any ordinary piece of bag
gage. In his last interview with a rep
resentative of the Morning News he
stated that he had not found the treas
ure but that he was as confident as he
was living that he was going to, and
even then he might have had the booty
unesrthed and hidden away ready to
be placed into the canvas bags and
transferred to Philadelphia.
Two negro fishermen who came up
the river from Warsaw said that two
white men had rented a row boat from
fellow fisherman the night before and
had paid a good price for it, saying
that it was possible that the boat
would not be returned. 1t is supposed
that this boat was rented by the Has
lips to bring their treasure, if they had
any, to Savannah in the night, and
secret it until they could put it in the
trunk.

MURDERER FROM PURYS-
BURG MAY BE HERE

In a fight which occurred on Sun
day. June 2s, at Lassiter & Co.'S mill
at Purysburg, S. c.. Peter jenkins
killed James Johnson. Both were ne
groes. Peter has a bad reputation
having previously shot three men Of
his own color. In the fight Johnson
apparently fearing Jenkins, shot at him
with a pistol jenkins at once put
the loads from a double -barreled CUR
into Johnson, and, as usual in Negro
killing, took to the woods. 1t is sup
posed that he came to Savannah. Mr.. C
A. Williams, one of the firm of LassiteI
& Co., at whose mill the killing hap
pened, has offered reward for the
arrest of the murderer.
