medical department .tales that l.iw#,
' should be added lo this number.
Partial Returns.
Partial official re;urns have been re-j
1 reived from one-half the hospital*.;
i The medical department aaya that;
judrin* from these partial returns tho j
unofficial llal of 1300 dead in (he hoa-
I pitala. with 50 pel cent added for all |

make the total who have died about j
3,000, and It la believed that the offi

j tlmato to be accurate.
Nothin* Official as Yet.
Both Adjutant General Corbin and |
Surgeon General Sternberg said to ThCj
New York Journal, that the official re- i
ports would not bo in tor some days j

To officially estimate (he number of
the dead, Chief Clerk Heilman said,

time.
He cited the ease of the civil war.
Similar records for that war. he said,
wrte not obtainable until 1896. This
war has not lasted so long as did the
civil war, nor have as many men been
engaged. The compilation of the cas
ualty figures will be a much easier
matter. The department hopes soon to
have these official figures.

A BAD SION.
The River Being at a Standstill Bodes
No Good
“You say the river la one Inch lower (

i “Yes."
“Then I must say that Is a bad j
I Kigu. I have seen the Cumberland river
url the same way and stay at a stand
still for 4* hours, and then rise over
Its banks for milea."
The abeve conversation was carried
on between b Herald reporter and a
well known gentleman of this cdy, thisj
afternoon.
The gentleman spoken of seemed to,
fear that the Savannah would get Into |
the city, from the way she was acting j
at present.
It will take a 38 foot river to throw
the stream in the city at present.
“lee BOYLE SHOT
Young Man Formerly In Postal Ser
vice and Well Known in Augusta.
A telegram Just received In Savan-,
nah states that Lee Boyle, son of Mr. j
T. W. Boyle, well known in Augusta,
has been shot and quite seriously hurt.
No further particulais are known. It
is not known where young Boyle was
shot or under what circumstances.
What with storm and fire, tho so
journers on Tybee Island have had an
uncomfortable time of it this year.
A religious sisterhood in Quebec
know as the Gray Sisteirs are famous
for tbelr wearing of rag carpeting.
Out of the first few mistakes which
one makes in life or in work one learns
to be more definite as to alms and ob
jects.
In England, there are hoi water ran
cets, where (be poor, by dropping in a
penny, can draw a pail of hot wa
in.
Of Ihe six hundred young girls ad
mitted to the New frork Norma) school
the majority are said to be of foreign
parentage.
Thete may be a country without a
literature— though we have not the
misfortune tn dwell in one,—but there
cannot be a literature without a coun
try. _
