The average width of same is about 40 feet—which is i fourteen yards for every foot of width of the street. This chert cost 874 cents per cubic yard, de ivered on the street, but not spread, sayj 95 cents spread and rolled. The street car track is ' covered somewhat more thinly than balance of street. I should say 10 yards per foot of track will cover it. Respectfully, 11. E. Smith, C. E. 11 feet—slo4 50. The following ordinance was read and passed by unanimous consent; Be ii ordained by the mayor and council of the city of Rome and it is hereby ordained |by authority of the Bam* that section 246 of the code of the city of Rome be amended by adding thereto the following words: “It shall be unlawful for I any person to ride a bicycle within the limits of the city of Rome after dark unless the bi cvcle used shall be fully equip- s Scrofula Fs a deep-seated blood disease which all the mineral mixtures in the world cannot cure. S.S.S. {guaranteedpurely vegetable ) is a real blood remedy for blood diseases and has no equal. Mrs. Y.T. Buck, of Delaney, Ark., had Scrofula for twenty-five years and most of the time was under the care of the doctors who could not relieve her. A specialist said he / could cure her, but O* B he fllled her with r? fit arsenic and potash T ’Js which almost ruined vS f >7 her constitution. She jl fj then took nearly every so-called blood 335 k v medicine and drank them b y tlle wholesale, they did not reach vA'ij* /Ther trouble. Some /t- A one advised her to try k -' • S.S.S. and she very soon found that she had a real blood remedy at last. She says: ‘‘After tak ing one dozen bottles of S.S.S. I am perfectly well, my skin is clear and healthy and I would not be in my former condition for two thousand dollars. Instead of drying upthe pots' n in my system, like the potash and arsenic, S.S.S. drove the disease out through the skin, and I was perma nently rid of it.” A Real Blood Remedy, I S.S.S. never fails to cure Sarofula, Ecacma, Rheumatism Contagious Blood Poison, or any disorder of the blood. Do not rely upon a simple tonic to cure a deep-seated blood disease, but take a real blood remedy. Our books free upon appli- cation.

SCHLAPBACH.] SCROFULA It is Foul Blood’s Advertise ment ■ut It is Soon Cured by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Yee, Scrofula, if anything, niny be called the advertisement of foul blood. It- la the ■courge of the world —offensive, pailful, debilitating, stubborn and well nigh unendurable. Outward applications do not cure, they only drive the difficulty to new quarters. Emollients may palliate, they eaunot abolish the evil. There is but one sure way out, and that is to eliminate the taint from the blood. There is one remedy that can effect this, and it is the only one that, so far as we know, has almoet invariably succeeded even where the system has been poisoned by long years of taint, and the ravages to be repaired are tremendous. That remedy is Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Read this: “My daughter was afflicted with Im pure blood. There were running sores all over her body and they caused her much suffering. We tried medicines that were recommended as blood purifiers, but could not see that they did any good. A friend told mo about Hood’s Sarsapa rilla and I began giving the girlthismed icino. The result was that she was ptr sctly cured after taking a few bottles. She has had no symptoms of scrofula tores since that time.” Marietita M. Smith, Sout h Middleboro, Mass.

The police learned today that there have been two Emma Gills in Startford. They think it possi ble that the Emma Gill who was murdered may have been cut up there and not in Brdgeport. Bridgeport, Conn., Sept. 28 Detectives in Liverpool have been cabled to arrest. Dr. Nancy Guil ford, in the dismembered-body case, wliea shi shall arrive. She is supposed to be on the Vancouver, which is about due . Manslaughter is row the charge against Ox’ey Guernsey. It was learned that the brother of Harry Oxley, who visited him ■it the jail, took into his confidence a friend in this city, told him the substance wf a confession alleged to have been made to-tbe police by the airested man. The brother gaid that when Har ry was arrested his motner toid hun to tell the whole truth in the case, and this is his story: “Emma Gill told me of har con dition and I told Guernsey, ami the latter told me to ’marry the girl if I felt sure the responsibility was mine. Iwint to Emma Gill and express dmy willingness to marry her, but she said this was unnecessary; that she kn-w Dr. Guilford, and tl at she could cure her of her trouble by an operation and she would get out of her trouble that way. She did not wish to marry me because therewas another fellow( Koster) who want ’d lo marry her and did not know her tru i character. He would make her a better home, she thought than I could and considered him a better catch. ” Albeit H. Oxley, the Southing ton young man, whoii the police here say paid Dr. Nancy Guilford for performing a criminal op eration upon Emma Gill, was this morning arraigned before Magis trate Carroll in the local Police Ceurt on tin charge of mans'aughter.

Detective Captain George Arnold was asked today if hu believed that the handsaw found in the Drayton home yesterday had been used i.i the dismemberment of Emma Gill’s body. He said: “That question I can not answer but, I will say there is no doubt in my mind that Rosa Drayton assisted in the cutting.” The two Drayton women, col ored servants in the employ of Dr. Nanc/ Guilford, were brought to Chief of Police Birmingham’s office today, and shown the blood stained saw foundjat their home. One of them fainted away. They were then sent back to jaii. The police put plumbers so work in Nancy Guilford's house today, and hops thereby to get impoitant evidence in Ihe case. Another handsaw was found in the house, concealed under a re frigerator. The police will not speak of or show the find. Nancey Guilford's lawyer,Jacob Klein, says the police will admit within three days that his client was not connected with the Gill case. It is reported that « local doctor is under suspicion.
