of the business, if not the best, is ex-
cellent. Savannah, now that it has Sc
cured the long coveted position as a
tourist point, with the cheap rates and

valuable part of this distinction, is as
sured of q greater number of visitors

tory.
AS has been stated all tourists points
in the South are we'll advertised by the
big Eastern trunk lines in their book
for winter tourists, it being customary
| for such advertising to be done by the
initial lines in such cases, but in ad-
dition to the publicity given this city

made last year. On every trip they are
well filed.

LESS WATER PUMPED
THAN EVER,
Record Breaking week Reported
from WaterwOrks.

Record Breaking Week Reported
from WaterwOrks.
Less water was pumped at the water
works last week than at any time since
the air lift was installed.
This remarkable fact is disclosed by
the records at the waterworks and is
evidence of the combined efforts of the
water and sanitary inspectors.
More than a million gallons of water
and over two tons of coal are being
saved daily by the city now. The in
spectors have been finding between fif-
ty and seventy-five leaks a day in
dwellings and business houses and
these are promptly fixed. To this is
largely due the great saving.
The figures of the record-breah1g
week are interesting at this time and
are given below. The daily average
last week is compared with that of the
week of Sept. 2O-27. just before the

Physician L. R. Souder, of Atlantic
City, visited Minotola to-day, aud
performed an autopsy on the body of
Nunzio Capelli. of Hammonton, who
was killed during a row with glass
blowers, near Minotola, last night.
Although the results of Souder's in
vestigation was not made known,
enough has been learned to substantiate
the report that Capelli was shot and
stabbed to death.
Capelli's left arm was cut deeply
from the elbow to the wrist, evidently
by a stiletto. A bullet from 32-
calib1e revolver entered his side
among the ribs, and went straight
through the heart.
Prosecutor J. E. P. Abbott, of At
lantio City, took AL Humbert, John
Mingen, Richard Coroilli, Richard
Ranero and Frank Campone, all glass;
blowers, to the Mays Landing Jail to
be held as witnesses when wanted.
No one has been charged with the
crime.
Coroner r. E. Benson, of Folsom,
has taken charge of the body, and will
hold an inquest, Monday, May II.

The Chicago Record-H Herald says this
morning: ALLEGED serious violations of
the interstate-commerce law by Eastern
and Western lines to be investigated
by the Interstate-cornmerce Commission at
another session in Chicago beginning next
Tuesday. j. F. Marchand, special secret
agent of the commission, has been in Chi
cago for the past week looking up evidence
to present to the commission, and IL is un-
derstood that he has proof of a positive
character involving the six roads in viola
tions of the law. The breach is said to have
occurred in Connection with the movement
of foreigners going from their homes in the
West and Northwest to their former homes
in Europe. 1t Is said that Mr. Marchand
has the evidence to prove that while the
passengers were charged the legal tariff to
New York the steamship agents were paid
rebates of 81 the passenger. The rebates
are said to have been the concessions
granted the steamship agencies for routing
the business over the roads involved The
movement from the Northwest through
Minneapolis and st. Paul alone amounted
to fully five thousand persons. making the
total commissions or rebates paid at least
$20, co.,
