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 team and whisky were confiscated, but nothing was done with Mr. Crow, as he had not disposed of any of the blockade stuff, therefore to con fiscate the property was as far as the revenue authorities could go.

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. —Father Ryan.

These three localities are all that are now talked of. The office has been where it is now for nearly twenty years with the same old outfit for that period, and the growth of our city calls for an up-to-date post-office. Bucklen’s Arnica Salve.

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. Won’t Be Left. Dawsonville is not going to be without a railroad always.
