But Still Find Time For Some Fan. C«mp Nortbeo is now one mass of Hfing being ■, ready to go to the front io the line of battle. A finer and healthier lot of men was never congre gated io one body before. 1 During yeeterday the Browne Fen ciblee. of Columbus, and the Macon Volunteer* arrived and were at once quartered. With these companies there is a to i tsl of sixteen hundred men in camp, ? excepting the Fifth regiment band which arrived yesterday morning with 25 men. - Governor Atkinson was a guest of the camp yesterday and to a Call cor respondent he expressed his delight With affairs throughout the camp. The governor was asked his opinion regarding the physical examination of ffi en before being brought to the ren dezvous and replied: . “I think it decidedly best to exam' ins men at their respective homes. This saves a great expense to the gov ernment and a still greater embar rassment to the men who have bid thsir family and friend* farewell. ‘ln South Carolina 417 men were M nt to the camp in one body. Ont of that number 310 passed and 107 were rejected, thereby causing an expendi ture of several hundred dol'ars to the government, and losing many posi tions for the men ” Last night three companies arrived. Three were from Borne, Augusta and Atlanta, with a total of 231 men. Major Taylor, United Slates army surgeon, spent yesterday in examining the m«n. .All men, with a very small exception, have gone through with a rigid physical teat, and none were Ex amined yesterday unless appearances Wgeried doubt as to fitness The men passed most of the day yesterday in drilling by squads, . gleaning up the streets and some few in playing ball and other games of MMiaement. But the camp is a place of duty and very few find time to frolic. One passing down the line of tents will hear all kinds of remarks regard ing their quarters. One said he bad ths nightmare and ate the hay in his hnt. Borne claim they would be hap py if they had something to eat. Ridiculous placards posted upon the tents is no Uncommon sight, and famish amusement to officers and ■Km. ' It is not known exactly when the mastering of troops will begin, as tbe examination may take some days yet and the arrival of troops will also be a drawback to this. SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. H..

It is added that tbe hospital of San Roque, filled with Spanish soldiers, was set on fire by shells from the Bos ton and that Sisters of Charity were killed while removing tbe wounded. Oar Denartine Soldiers. This morning a gallant company of soldiers leave for tbe camps at Griffin. J edging by the dispatches from Wash ington, they may be called from there in a few days, and sent to Tampr. In deed we may say that they may be among tbe first volunteers to invade Cuba. As the people of Columbus bid tbe Fencibles good-bye they are overcome with feelings in which pride struggles with grief. They are grieved that these brave young men must go to tbe front; they are proud that Columbus has, through such stalwart sons, an swered to tbe call of country. Os one thing all feel assured ; wherever our soldiers may be called, whatever tbe dangers they-may have to face, they will give a satisfactory account of themselves, and will honor their city. When Sergeant Garrett calls the roll of tbe Browne Fencibles this morning forty-nine men will answer to their names May Providence so shield them that when the last roll is called before they are mustered out of ser vice tbe same number will be present. This is tbe earnest wish of Columbus today—Columbus Enquirer Bur.. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafhess, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of tbe mucous lining ot the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect nearing, and When it is entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, heating will be de stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous sur faces.

[ Transact Considerable Business at Meeting Last Night- • ' b The city council held their regalsr meeting last night, presided over by Hi* Honor, Mayor Davis, with a full board o( aidermen present. The minute* of last meeting were 1 read and adopted. 1 Communications were read from » the Morning Call and News and Sun ■ in which both papers made a bid for I publishing the marshals sales for tax I defaulters. Tbe price stipulated was ■ tbe regular orice for all legal adver tisements, but tbe council, upon mo- 1 lion of Aiderman Patrick, laid tbe * communications on (be table. Considerable complaint was made ’ by property owners over the assessing * of their property. Aiderman Moore moved tbe whole matter be referred to the finance committee, who shall ex amine all,such petitions and make any 1 corrections in the assessments they might deem proper. The motion was 1 carried. The next question to occupy the at tention of council was the printing of a new code for tbe city. Aldermen ' Strickland was opposed to going to that expanse at this time as the city’* finances were low, on account of unu» ual drains made upon it during tbe early months of tbi* year. Tbe code would cost S2OO and in bi* opinion the matter should be deferred to some future time. Tbe city attorney was present and stated the new code was painfully needed, as tbe present one bad been in use for about eight years, and bad become almost obsolete. He thought it tbe duty of the council to furnish tbe citizens with a new one. Tbe council discussed the subject at length and upon motion of Alderman Patrick it was ordered that the code be revised and published at tbe price named by tbe city attorney—s2oo. Tbe petition to open up a new street in northeast Griffin, near .Mrs. M. E. Wilson’s, was reported upon-adverseiy. Aiderman Moore, of tbe nuisance committee, reported that complaints bad been made about tbe throwing of paper, asbes-and slops iqto the streets, and said the matter should be attend ed to. Capt, Gamp informed him that the paper thrown in alleys in the bus iness part of the city would eoon stop up the sewers, and would cost the city a considerable sum unless tbe nui sance was ebaled. Tbe committee appointed at last meeting to secure a mule and cart from the county commissioners to gather up garbage 'every week was not prepared to report and was given further time. The reports of the clerk and treas urer and chief of police for mouth of April were referred to finance comi mittee. Tbe bill from the tax assessors was re%d tbp second time and brought forth a lengthy discussion from each member of the council. Il was tbe concensus of opinion that the charges were exborbitant. Aiderman Blakely moved that tbe matter be referred to the flnanc* com mittee and that they inform tbe as sessors that the amount was consider ably more than in former years, to protest against (ucli charges,"and to make best settlement possible. Mitchell moved that tbe , water committee be authorized to cov er tbe water tank with a suitable wire J covering to keep out bugs and insect*, i Alderman Blakely thought they should consult Bupl Howard as to the neces- I ; sity of such a covering and also as to the cogt, before they took definite . action, and the matter went over to i the next meeting. 1 The city janitor’s resignation was read and accepted. . The matter of supplying tbe police with such uniforms as tbey might be in need of was referred to tbe police committee with power to act. A petition w»i read from tbe dea cons of the Presbyterian church a*k > ing that they be released from paying I tax ou thsir parsonage, and the peti -1 tioo was readily granted. 1 Bros, petitioned the council to ’ allow them to pay the additional tax and have their license changed from a sale to a livery stable, but the peti tion was not granted. There being no farther business, a motion to adjourn prevailed. ! _ ft To Cure Conitlpetlon Ferevet. I Take Caacaret* Candy Cathartic., 10c or 86a It G O.
