so that if he wants to get off for few

CREMATORY STOOD Severe
TEST.IN SUCCESSFUL WAY
Several City Officials and Number Of Citizens
Were Present. -About Nineteen Tons of Gar
bage Burned Without Odor.

Quite a number of the city officials
and citizens went down to the crema-
tory yesterday morning to witness
what was the severest test that has yet
been made of the plant.
DR.. H. F. Tatum, health officer Of the
city of Meridian, and other officials of
the city, had been invited by Mr..
Smith to come down and see how the
work was done, and they were expect
ed yesterday, but failed to show up.
Over nineteen tons of garbage were
burned yesterday and those who were
present declare that there was no per-
ceptible odor. All kinds of garbage
were used in the test. there being sew
eral carcasses as well as the garbage
A member of the sanitary committee
who was present yesterday states
that he was well pleased with the test
and he believes that it solves the gar.
bage question for Hattiesburg.
1t is stated that there are some de
fects in the construction of the build
ing which will have to be remedied
but which 1t is believed can be done
at very small expense and will be
done by the contractors.
While the crematory seems to be
working all right at this time, ant
while the present indications are thai
it will do the work that was guaran
teed, yet it is certain that the city au
thorities will be sure of its success
before accepting it. They have ye

to be sure that it is all right before
accepting 1t.
After the city authorities are sure
of the success Of the crematory, and
after it shall have been accepted by
the city. II ID probable that New Or
leans will send a delegation here to
watch the operations of the plant, as it
is said that the Crescent City has no
crematory, the garbage all being
dumped into the Mississippi River.
The New Orleans authorities are anx-
, ious to change this plan and burn the
garbage.
The people Of Hattiesburg are de-
lighted over the fine prospects for
the successful operation of the ere.
matory. and they are especially glad
to know that the expense of operating
1t will not likely be larger than was
at first expected. In collecting the
garbage, great deal of trash, barrels
and other things are secured that can
be used as fuel.
The different articles burned yester
day were as follows One COW, 75C
pounds; trash. 1900 pounds; night
soil, 22.s4o pounds; garbage, 1886
pounds; one horse, 1000 pounds
spoiled beef from packing house, 1906
pounds, making total of 39,14(
pounds.
This was the total garbage that had
been received for three days and in
the burning of 1t, one and half tons
of coal were consumed, which rs con
sidered a reasonable amount for three
days accumulation.

That the engine was first derailed
