WATER AND LIGHT,
Some Accurate Figures That Are «f
Interest to All.
J. F. Tucker of the United States De
partment of Labor spent last Friday and
Saturday iu the city getting up statistics
as to the cost of our water works and
electric light plants, as the department
of labor is undertaking an investigation
into the essential economic facts relating
to the construction and use of electric
light and power plants, gas works and
water works, whether under municipal
or private ownership and control. This
investigation will be carried out in all
cities and large towns having such plants
throughout the United States. The sta
tistical report made by the officials of
the government will be compiled and
published later, after all reports have
been received by U. S. Commissioner
Wright. It will be of interest to know
what the report of our plant, owned by
the city, will be in advance of its official
publication by the United States govern
ment. Below is a copy made by the city
clerk:
The city of Gainesville, Ga., has an
electric light plant which cost the mu
nicipality $11,124.02, as follows:
Plumbing $25 00
Land 379.38
Buildings 279.64
Steam engine 1,045.90
Generating plant 4,500.00
Distribution poles 4,894.10
T0ta1511,124.02
It has 12 miles of wire, which serves
8 miles of streets with 40 arc lights.
Also a water works plant which cost
$33,097.02, as follows:
Land $379.38
Water storage 640.80
Buildings 279.64
Pumping equipments 2,200.00
Standpipe 3,928.50
Mains and service pipe 25,778.70
Fire hydrants 1,000.00
Other items 890.00
T0ta1535,097.02
The city has 7 miles and 1,404 feet of
pipe, as follows:
3 inch wrought iron pipe 3,890 feet
4 inch cast iron pipe 13,674 feet
6 inch cast iron pipe 6,000 feet
10 inch cast iron pipel4,Boo feet
T0ta138,364 feet
It required two days of hard work on
the part of Mr. Tucker and the city clerk,
Mr. Boone, to get up this statistical re
port, as no set of books had been kept,
as is the case where plants are owned by
private parties.
These figures are procured from the
council proceedings dating back to the
time the plants were purchased. The
cost of the land and buildings used for
both plants jointly was divided and one
half charged to the cost of each plant.
The total cost of the two plants was
$46,221.04.

The authorities captured a two-horse

day afternoon out beyond the cemetery,
which belonged to W. A. Crow of For

Mr. Crow, as he had not disposed of any
of the blockade stuff, therefore to con

I Often Wonder Why ’tis So.
Some find work where some find rest.
And so the weary world goes on;
I sometimes wonder which is best;
The answer comes when life is gone.
Some eyes sleep when some eyes wake,
And so the dreary night hours go;
Some hearts beat where some hearts break;
I often wonder why ’tis so.
Some wills faint where some wills tight.
Some love the tent and some the field;
I often wonder who are right—
The ones who strive or those who yield?
Some hands fold where some other hands
Are lifted bravely in the strife;
And so through ages and through lands
Move on the two extremes of life.
Some feet halt where some feet tread,
In tireless march, a thorny way;
Some struggle on where some have fled:
Some seek when others shun the fray.
Some words rust where others clash,
Some fall back where some move on;
Some flags furl where others flash
Until the battle has been won.
Some sleep on while others keep
The vigils of the true and brave;
They will not rest till roses creep
Around their name above a grave.

room now occupied by the post-office and

Three localities are considered at pres

at J. H. Hunt’s bank, and the vacant
corner owned by Mayor Gaston, opposite

proposes to erect a fine three story build

are now talked of. The office has been
where it is now for nearly twenty years
with the same old outfit for that period,

NUMBER 46.
SHE TOLD FORTUNES,
But One Horrible Secret is Locked-up
in Death.
Elizabeth Cross, a white woman about
50 years old, was found dead by the
branch back of the one-room cabin in
which she lived, on W. Washington
sreet, Saturday about 11 o’clock a. id.
News soon reached the city that an
unknown white woman had been foully
murdered and thrown in the branch run
ning parallel with the lower end of W.
Washington street. This threw the city
into a fever of excitement.
The coroner’s inquest was held in the
afternoon, beginning at about 2 o’clock.
The jury consisted of J. B. M. Winburn,
A. M. Jett, F. L. Comei, J. N. Twitty,
J. 11. Shirley and W. E. Canning. Coro
ner Dorsey introduced Adeline Crump,
colored, as the first witness. She stated
that she found the deceased about 11
o’clock a. m. lying iu the ditch back of
the house. She said she called to a man
passing in a buggy on Washington street
and told him that a woman was in the
gully, and asked him to go with her back
to the place. This he did. Judge Win
burn bad also been notified and appeared
on the scene at the same time.
The party referred to was Joseph Smith
of Murrayville. He and Judge Winburn
were the next witnesses. They testified
to having examined the body, its posi
tion when found, and gave as their opin
ion that the deceased had been dead 10
or 12 hours.
Lula Jones, colored, was the next wit
ness. She testified to having gone to the
house of the deceased about 6 o’clock the
afternoon before to borrow some sugar.
She was accompanied by her brother.
They called, but there was no response,
and drawing nearer they knocked on the
door, but there was still no response.
She heard a woman’s and a man’s voice
on the inside and they left. There was
no light in the house. She knew the wo
man as “Miss Cross.”
Judge Winburn knew her as Mrs. Eliz
abeth Cross. He had known her about
4 years. He had heard a pistol shot
about 10 o’clock the night before.
Adeline Crump had heard three pistol
shots about 10 o’clock the night before.
The body of the woman was then ex
amined. A hole was found in the back
of her neck. The cape she had worn at
the time of the killing (supposedly over
her head as no bonnet, or hat was found)
had a hole through it and was badly
burned by powder, which went to show
that the woman had been shot at close
range.
Not being satisfied with probing the
bole, Dr. W. A. Palmour was called to
hold a post mortem examination. He
sawed the head open and found a 32-
calber pistol ball in the base of the brain,
having entered in the back of the neck
and ranged upward.
The jury then agreed on a verdict that
ttfedlMPW'd came to her death from a
tp# gun bMng in the hands of
some person.
The Corpse was buried Sunday morn
ing.
Mrs. Cross lived in a one-room house
owned by Mrs. Mary M. Owen, near the
end of W. Washington street. The old
woman was an artificial-flower maker,
and fortune-teller and is said to have
been a procuress. She was about 100
yards from her house when killed, lying
near the side of the branch by the path
which leads from Washington to Findley
strtvA an( j crosseß t h e branch a t this
point.
There is an emu- . . ... ~
... . , , on either side
of the branch and Mrs. v.
have been climbing theiinclin ee t °
her house when she was shot, as bt.
head was lying at the bottom in a pool
of blood, with her feet still in the path
above, a third of the way up the bank.
She bad evidently bad a struggle some
time prior to the shooting, as her bosom
was bare and the button holes torn as
though by force. The only track which
attracted attention was that of a bare
footed person who had run down the
stream some distance, then turned and
come back, and had evidently tried to
lift the head, as the footprints on either
side were pressed deep into the clay.
The inquest was held in her bouse.
* A deck of cards was found on her per
son and another deck was on the mantle.
She told fortunes with cards and by read
ing the stars. Superstitious people were
said to fear her. She has no relatives in
the city, but is said to have children in
New York.
