8 THE MONEY ALL USED IT. WORK IN THE HARBOR STOPPED FOR RACK OF FUNDS. A Depth of Over Twenty Feet Obtained From the City to the Sea. The Sur vey for the Enlarged Improvement About Complete- What Was Accom plished During the Year. The appropriation for the improve ment of the Savannah river and hurlxir lias been exhausted, and work was suspended last week. Lieut. Carter, who is hi charge of the work here anil at Brunswick, Fer nandina and on the Altamaliu river, is en gaged upon his annual report to Gen. Gil more, chief of engineers. This year’s work in the harlior was begun Nov. 28, and ended July 3. During that time 40,980 square yards of log and brush mattresses, 89,871 cubic yards of brush fas cines, and 17,070 cubic yards of riprap stone were used. Two new wing dams were built at the Long Island crossing, tiic Fig Island training wall was extended 750 feet and brought up throughout its entire length to the mean high water mark, iu fact all the “closing” dams were brought up to high water. The repairs begun on one or two wing dams, which were injured by the cyclone of 1885, Were completed. CONDITION OF THE RIVER. The river is now iu a better condition, Lieut. Carter says, than it has ever been. The least moan high water depth between the city and the sea is 20 l’eet find a fraction. The shoalest point is at the Lower Flats. Vessels drawing from 19 to 20 feet will havenodiflleulty in pussing in orout. During the year 121,098 cubic yards of mud were removed by dredging between the Ocean Steamship Company’s wharves nnd the sea. The survey for 28 feet of water, which was ordered by Congress, and which was begun in April "is about, complete and would have bom mushed lief ore now but for the bad weather which lias delayed the work on the bar. As soon as it is finished, which will require but a day or two longer in fair weather, the project for the twenty-eight feet of water will be prepared, the idea being to get the project completed as soon as possible in order that Congress may make its next ap propriation upon the basis of the enlarged improvement, instead of upon tho present projoet. WORK AT A STANDSTILL. At present all work on the harbor is at a standstill, and nothing further can be done until Congross makes another appropriation and it becomes available, which will proba bly be a year from now at the inside. The work at Brunswick has lieen com pleted. The $22,500 appropriated for tho improvement of tho harbor there has been expended in dredging and in raising the jetty opposite tho city. In completing this work 9,074 square yards of inattrossos and 1,447 cubic yards of stone were used. At Femandina the south jetty was ex tended 1,942 feet seaward, reaching a point 10,001 feet from the shore. No work was done on the Altaniaha dur ing the year. The snag boat Toccoa was sent there but owing to high water in tho river was unable to do any work. Work on the Doboy bar, for which there is an appropriation of SIO,OOO, will Ixi com menced in about ten days. In tho work there Lieut Carter proposes to introduce a new method of dredging—hydraulic exca vating. Tho tug Republic is being fitted with tho necessary machinery and will bo put to work there next week. BURGLA RB ARRAIGN ED. Three of Them Tried, Found Guilty and Sentenced.

There is some little gossip, how well founded it is impossible to say, that the Central railroad directory lias liail under consideration the advisability of limiting the $.5,1KK),000 issue of bonds, which it au thorized sometime ago, to $4,000,000, but that H. B. Hollins & Cos., objected on the ground that subscriptions had been accept ed for the entire $5,000,000. Tho bonds were subscribed for very quickly, and it is probable that more would have been taken if they' could have been obtained. They are very gixxl bonds, ami it is not surprising, therefore, that they found a ready market. The securities on which they are based have a face value of $.4,814,400, and an estimated 1 value of $8,574,200. Their annual net earn ings are $012,880. The lionds are certainly well secured, and perhaps if the public had been a little better informed about them they might have been placed at par. The price which tho company obtained for them was 97’ j, lmt it seems that H. B. Hollins & Cos. got 102 _■ for them. The transaction wus rather a profitable one for those who handled the bonds. The differ ence between what the railroad got for them oud what the public paid for them a mounted to tho nice little fortune of $2.40,(KM). GREENWICH PARK. Tho Association Organized and Officers Elected. Tho Greenwich Park Association held a meeting at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon and organized by electing the following officers: President—J. B. Duckworth. Vice President—W. W. Gordon. Hi'oretary and Treasurer—John Sullivan. Directors—F. G. dußignon, Dr. J. P. S. Houston, W. W. Mackall, Georgo W. Owens, 8. P. Shotter.

It proposes to improve and Ix-untify the Schuctzcn Park projx'rty and make It one of tho most attractive s|x>ts in the vicinity of Savannah. Its natural advantages are great and but a compara tively slight expense will make it one of the most beautiful places within easy reach of the city. THE ORPHANS’ BENEFIT.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1887. TO QUIT THE SEA. Capts. Hedge and Kolley, of the Boston Steamers Resign. Rome changes are likely to be made in the command* of the Ocean Steamship Com pany’s ships at an early day. Capt. William Kelley, Jr., of the City of Macon, of the Boston line, sailed from Savannah yes terday on his farewell trip. He will leave tho company’s service upon his arrival at Boston, and will probably re tire altogether. Cant,. Hedge, of the Gate City, lias been off for some time on ac count of ill health and will not return. Tho Gate City is now commanded by first officer Taylor, and first officer Lewis will command the City of Macon temporarily, until Capt. Kelley’s successor has been ap pointed. Both officers are competent and experience,i navigators. Capt. Hodge Ims contemplated retiring for some time. He has lx-en on this line since 1873, and was o 10 of the most popular and efficient comma iders in the company’s service. Capt. Kelley has commando'l the City of Macon since lsS4. He succeeded Capt. AVright, of the ill-fated City of Co lumbus. It is not improbable that Fintt Officers Tay lor and Lewis will be promoted, and the company's officials are not yet prepared to say positively, however, what will lie done. The provisioning of the Boston ships lie fore tiie line was b, night by the Ocean Steamship Company was done by tho cap tains. The Ocean Steamship Company pro visions its own ships. General Manager Sorrel has for some time hod in view the same arrangement for the Boston ships, but the change was not made until last month. Tinder tho old plan tho captains provided as they saw fit; now the same plan has been adopted as on the New York line. SHORT HAND WRITERS. Savannah’s Delegates to the Atlanta Convention. Tho short hand writers throughout the country are realizing the necessity of organi zation. Tho rapid growth of shorthand writing in tho past five years is something remarkable. Almost every business con cern of any importance now employs a stenographer. They are being graduated by hundreds from short hand schools all over tho country. An organization has already been ef fected in Savannah called the Savannah Shorthand Writers Association, and a meet ing will be held in Atlanta on July 21 for the purpose of organizing a State associa tion whose object will lie to regulate the en tire business of the fraternity, to establish a schedule of prices, to protect its members and foster their interests. A meeting of the Savannah association was held last night and a delegation was appointed to attend the At lanta convention. The delegation consists of Messrs. William Allan, M. 11. Connolly and Andrew Ander son. They will leave hero on the 20th. Delegates will also attend from Augusta, Macon, Columbus, Thomasville and Quit man, and altogether about 100 skilled short hand writers are exported to lie present. The committee on organization consists of Messrs. A. F. Cooledge, C. L. Maddox, H. B. Dean, C. A. Rriseoo, C. G. lank, G. AV. Jones and T. A. Trammell. Mr. Trammell is secretary of tho committee.

THE NEW WESTERN LINE SEEKING TERMINAL FACILITIES IN SAVANNAH. General Manager J. A. A. West, of the Birmingham and Atlantic Air Line, Before the Board of Trade—What is Being Done on the Road, and What the Company Expects to Do—Routes Into the City. Maj. John A. A. West, with Maj. Gonli n Guisdner, Chief Engineer of the United States Construction and improvement Com pany, aud Mr. Arthur Pou, Chief Engineer of the Savannah, Dublin and Western Short Line railroad, accompanied by Col. J. L. Warren, Col. Hughes and other directors of the road, appeared before the Board of Trade yester day in the interests of the Birmingham and Atlantic Air Line. Maj. West called attention to the fact that he has just received a letter from a business firm in a small Alabama town through which tho road passes, asking to make arrangements w ith a cotton firm in Savannah to ship to Savannah between 6,000 and 10,000 bales of eotton during the approaching season. This, he said, is the iirst fruit offered. ADVANTAGES TO SAVANNAH. He then elaborated upon the advantages to be gained by Savannah merchants in di minishing their freight charges. The lino from here to Macon lieing thirty-five miles shorter than the Central, will, he said, if it charge the maximum rates allowed by the State Railroad Commission, diminish Sa vannah freight charges 33% per cent. Take any firm in Savannah doing a fair business, and diminish their freight 33,!*) per cent., and what an immense advantage it will give them over their competitors for Macon’s business. Between Savannah and Amerieus the road will diminish the freight charges per cent.: between Sa vannah and Birmingham, with its immense business, the road will be compelled by State laws to charge by the mile fixed rates, which will diminish freight charges over 20 per cent., on account of having a much shorter line than any other road. THE ALABAMA DIVISION. From LaGrange to Birmingham Maj. West has canvassed the entire line. The towns and counties have, he said, made liberal subscriptions to tho road, and have freoly given the right of way. We have already at work a large force of hands grading the line near Savannah, and Maj. Guisdner with a corps of engineers is now engaged in surveying several different linos from this side tho Ogoecliee into Savannah. Tho first line which is now being surveyed, will con nect with tho Savannah, Florida and Western railway; the second will connect with tho Central railroad; the third will be down the right-of-way of the Central, over the right of-way of the Charleston and Savannah to the Savannah, Florida and Western; tho fourth will txi down the bank of the Ogeechee canal; the fifth will be to the Lamar and Gordon wharves; the sixth will join with the Deptford property; the seventh will bo down East Broad street into Bay and join with the Bay street wharves; ana the eighth will bo above the city, across the river to Hutchinson’s Island. TERMINAL FACILITIES WANTED. What the road specially desires to secure is terminal facilities, if property suitable for this purpose cannot be purchased at a fair and reasonable price the new food will lie connected with some existing road. Maj. West asked the members of the Board of Trade to lend him a helping hand in gain ing an entrance into Savannah, pledging his enterprise Pi guard and promote the in terest of the city and its citizens. Capt. F. M. Hull, President of the Board of Trade, asked Maj. Weat what connection the now lin# will make with existing lines at Birmingham. To this, after a moments’ thought, Maj. West replied that he would prefer his friends in New York to answer. “Within tho past six months,” lie said, “according to the afunufactKrcrs Record, over $30,000,- 000 have been invested in Alaliama, and evidences of a Ikm un are seen in every town rich in mineral wealth.” Maj. West then exhibited maps, showing his lino and its territory, and after a talk with several members of the board, Capt. Hull addressed Maj West and his associates, and said that he cheerfully pledged them the sincere support of the board and that the people of Savannah will render every assistance in their power to promote the enterprise. Loo-il Peraonal. Gustave Eckstein. Esq., and family loft for New York yesterday, and will spend the remainder of the summer North. Mr. C. B. Townsend has resigned the Secretary and Trcasurership of the Naval Stores Manufacturers’ Protective Associa tion. M. A.

Approved by Council and Its Passage by the Legislature to be Urged. A special meeting of the City Council was held yesterday for the purpose of amending the new street paving bill, which will be introduced at the present session of the Leg islature. The alterations are slight and do not materially change the reading of the bill as it was first prepared. The joint committee on lire and streets and lanes, to which was referred at the last mooting the communication in regard to the unsafe condition of Bt. Andrew’s hall, submitted the following resolution, which was adopted: Resolved, That the owners of St. Andrew's Hall proceed at once to repair ttie wails of the building in the manner suggested by the. As sistant City Surveyor. Mr. J. de Bruyn Kops, that the Council proceed to try the q* .estiou whether it lie a nuisance and if so to provide for the abatement thereof. Corporation Attorney Adams stated in behalf of the owners of the building that it will tie repaired at once and put in a safe condition. Sweetwater Park Hotel, Salt Springs, Georgia. The existence of these springs has been known in the neighborhood for many years and their saline properties fully recognized. Indeed, we are informed that duiring the late war an attempt was made to utilize them by the manufacture of salt,for the benefit of the army and It he families of soldiers of the Confederacy. But it failed, perhaps on ac count of the medicinal qualities of the water or the lack of appropriate apparatus. After this the springs seemed to have almost dropped out of sight until within the last two or three years their curative effects upon diseases or the liver, skin, kidneys and stomach began to attract special attention. Then it was, fortunately for the afllicted,that a wealthy and enterprising Atlanta company composed of such potential names as Messrs. Marsh, Inman and Watson, resolved to de velop this hidden fount and extend its bless ings to the whole country. Accordingly they purchased the sito and 300 acres adjoin ing, and forthwith the work of redeeming the wilderness and the erection of costly improvements commenced, and has been pushed forward with great energy ever since. The spring, surrounded by primeval forest trees and huge, grotesque-looking masses of granite rock scattered around as though hurled hither and thither by giants at play, is picturesquely situated in Doug lass county, near the line of Cobb and Doug lass, and has been substantially tubed through the solid rock and its surplus waters conducted to a neat bath house' several hun dred feet distant, where cold and hot min eral baths are served at all hours. Soon tho grounds in the artistic hands of a skilled landscape gardener will be transformed into a scene of perfect beauty and loveliness. Nature has been lavish in her gifts, and the task will not be difficult. These embellish ments, including offices, billiard rooms, etc., it isestimated will cost $5,000. But the great attraction of tho place is tho Sweetwater Park Hotel, which, though not quite com pleted, was opened to tho public a few days ago. It is under the charge of Mr. J. D. Billings, late of the Traverse Hotel, Michi gan, a courteous gentleman who lias had twenty-five yean? experience in the busi ness. His assistant, T. 0. Daniel, who pro sides in the office, understands the knack of making himself agreeablo to all.

Severed sea cap tains who saw it said that they had never seen one like it in the waters around Charles ton before. I I GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS. Matters of Money and Management About Various Lines. The Central railroad has subscribed $l,OOO to tlie Piedmont Exposition. The Richmond and Danville has also subscribed $l,OOO, be sides giving 30 per cent, of the receipts from Atlanta to the exposition grounds and build ing side tracks and erecting a depot. The East Tennessee road has subscribed $1,500, and the Western and Atlantic road $l,OOO. Pat Calhoun, Esq., is interested in the ex position, and besides obtaining several sub scriptions has asked the directors of the At lanta and West Point also for $l,OOO. Tho directors of the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad met in Macon on Wednesday and considered the location of the line of the road through Dooly county. The people of Vicuna aro very anxious that the road should pass through their town, and a delegation was present to press its claims. A proposition was made by Mr. Sparks in behalf of tho company that inasmuch as the road could not pass through the town it would locate anew Vienna and giv e the people as much land as is now occupied by a town, and in addition build them anew court house. This proposition is now being considered by the delegation. The Spartanburg Connection.
