The Swedish ihady 4&uartet at the
Theatre To-Night.
These singers, assisted by the eminent
Russian harpist, Mr. Alex. Freygang, will
appear at the Theatre this evening, and our
lovers of music may anticipate a rare
treat. They arrived in this country
from Sweden in 1876, and have been
before the public constantly since that time,
meeting with great success. Their concerts
embrace operatic selections ami popular
ballads In German, Swedish and Euglish.
The fair Swedes are said to be beautiful wo
men, a circumstance that never fails to
take with an audience, and one who has
heard them says that their voices are well
matched, alike iu color and character, and
managed with great delicacy and skill.
Their programme is so arranged as to give
something to suit every taste, and yet. se
lected with such judgment as to offend
none. Let the enthusiasts who sigh for the
highest stjle of “scientific” music, and the
humble appreciators of the beautiful bal
lads of old, go aud judge for themselves.
Seats may be secured at Bren’s ticket
office.
Chatham Artillery Hop.
This veteran aud popular corps gave an
other, and the last this season, of their de
lightful hops last night at their armory,
which, considering the weather and the
numerous other attractions, was well attend
ed. As usual with the Chathains,tlie affair was
most enjoyable and the committee were
an fait in their duties. At midnight a
splendid collation, prepared by the well
known cateress Kate Anderson, was dis
cussed, and then the ball room was again
sought and dancing continued until a
late hour. The Chathams’ name
is synonymous with pleasure, and
those who atteud their hops never fail to
have a delightful time. It requires a stout
heart and a strong will to resist the per
suasiveness of the gallant artillerymen, and
even an anchorite would for the nonce,
when in their company, be compelled to
unbend and succumb to the powers, mirth
and pleasure, that always rule the hour
when they are “on deck.”
Screven House Hop.
The hop given last evening at the Screven
House by the enterprising proprietor, Mr.
Geo. W. Sergent, was a very recherche
affair, although the attendance was not as
large as was anticipated, in consequence of
the numerous attractions of a similar charac
ter elsewhere. The handsome parlors were
thronged with ladies aud gentlemen, and
the spacious dining room, which was con
verted for the time into a ball room, pre
sented a very attractive appearance. The
music was charming, and the entire affair
was conducted in a manner to reflect credit
upon the establishment and the energy and
enterprise of the proprietor, under whose
regime its popularity has been greatly in
creased. The enjoyment of last evening
inspired the wish with many these
pleasant hops be repeated often.

About six o’clock last evening, as a Mr.
Parker and his wife, who live a few miles
out of the city, ware returning home in his
buggy, his nag, which is quite spirited, be
came frightened at some object, and com
menced to rear and jump, scattering the
mud in every direction. Mr. Parker was
nearly blinded by the 6and and mud, and
found great difficulty in controlling the
horse, aiid at the corner of Bolton and Whita
ker streets the buggy collided with the curb
stone, and was overturned, both the occu
pants being thrown out, and the shafts of
the vehicle were broken. Mr. Parker, how
ever, held on to the reins anil prevented the
horse from running away, and fortunately
neither of the parties were injured.

THE SAVANNAH RIVER.
The Work of Improvement During
1878.
Colonel S. L. Fremont, United States As.
sistant Engineer, makes an interesting re
port to Mayor Wheaton of the amount of
work done in Savannah river during the
year 1878, under the supervision of Captain
James C. Post, United States Corps of En
gineers, ■who was in charge of the same
during the year up to November 1st, when
he was transferred to Charleston. Colonel
Fremont is of the opinion that a liberal
appropriation for prosecuting the work al
ready commenced would have valuable re
sults, but that any delay in continuing the
improvements to completion may occasion
the loss of much that has been done. We
are pleased to say, however, that in this re
spect the prospects are encouraging. As
has already been noted, the Committee
on Commerce have reported an appropria
tion for Savannah of §100,000, and this sum
will very materially assist in the accom
plishment of the end desired. The already
large and rapidly growing commerce of Sa
vannah, its importance to the State of Geor
gia, being its principal seaport, entitles it to
this consideration from Congress, and it is
gratifying that this fact is appreciated.
Col. Fremont, iu reference to the work
done, extracts the following from Capt.
Post's annnal report to Gen. Gillmore, who
has charge and supervision of all improve
ments of the river. Capt. Post savs:
“Tte following are the places at which
operations have been conducted during the
past year: First, new channel at the ‘wrecks;’
second, the shoals southwest from the
oyster bed light and northeast of Fort
Pulaski; third, the channel northeast of
Fort Pulaski; Fourth, the cross tides.
“At the completion of the contract with
the American Dredging Company and the
city of Savannah, mentioned in the last an
nual report, the latter being completed in
August and the former in September, the
new channel at the ‘wrecks’ had been made
102 feet wide and thirteen feet deep at mean
low water.
“This channel, by the scour of the ebb
tide, has now widened materially, for nearly
half its length, from the western end,
though somewhat irregularly, retaining at
the same time the full dredged depth of
thirteen feet mean low water. The lower
half, or the eastern portion, without a ma
terial increase of width, has shoaled in two
places to twelve feet mean low water. To
determine the true cause of this
shoaling at the present time is
somewhat difficult, as it may
be the result or two independent actions:
First, the natural How of the tides; and,
secondly, the grounding of two or three
vessels against the sides of the channel,
where they have remained through two or
three tides. As the running aground of
these vessels must have broken down the
sides and thus interrupted the free passage
of water through the channel, I am inclined
to attribute this diminution of depth to this
latter cause, rather than to the former. The
success of this new channel has, during the
past season, been of great assistance to com
merce, as vessels drawing the full draught
of water with which they cau cross the
‘obstructions’ or lower flats at high water,
have been enabled to pass to and
from the city without delay on either
an ebb or flood tide, provided they
reached the lower flats at high water. By
adopting this course, several vessels on
spring tides have left the city, drawing
eighteen feet four iuches, and proceeded to
Venus Point on one tide, whereas, before
the channel was opened, sixteen feet six
inches was the maximum draft that could
pass out, and even with this it was more
than probable that two tides would be con
sumed, on account of its being necesssary to
passthrough the ‘wrecks’channel at high
water. The real value of this new channel
in its present state, to commerce, can there
fore be placed at one foot ten inches of
draft, or nearly two feet, besides making
the navigation of this portion of the river
much easier by being direct anu straight.
“The dredging steamer ‘Henry Burden,’
continued working in the channel northeast
of Fort Pulaski until July 27, when it was
decided to transfer her to Chailestou, S. C.
From July 1 to 27, 9,656 cubic yards were
removed. During the month of April, 1878,
7,S15 cubic yards were also removed from
the channel by the steamer Burden. The
shoal opposite the oyster bed light con
tinuing to increase, it became such an ob
stacle to navigation that in March it was
necessary to commence its removal. Ac
cordingly, on March 25, the Henry
Burden commenced work at this
point. This, however, was discontin
ued after working some two weeks, and
removing only 2,948 cubic yards, as it was
found that the presence of the wreck
caused the steamer to work at such disad
vantage that it was decided to employ a
dredge, with the ordinary equipments, for
the removal of this wreck and shoal. A
contract was, in consequence, made with
the American Dredging Company for the
removal of 8,000 cubic yards at forty cents
per yard, such portions of the wreck to be
removed as come into the lines specified for
the dredgiEg. At the conclusion of this
contract, the channel at this point was in
creased 120 feet in width aud deepened to
fourteen feet mean low water.
“Ten piles which acted as an obstacle to
the navigation of the cross tides were also
removed bv the above mentioned company.
In order to complete the data already
obtained for the discussion of the improve
ment of this river, a series of observations
were commenced about June 1, to ascertain
the amount of water flowing through the
different river channels, and also to obtain
the amount of fall in each of them. To
explain the method determined upon more
fully it may first be well to divide the river
from the cross tides to Tybee roads into
three sections, numbers one, two and three
successively, viz:
“First section—All that portion of the
river from the cross tides to Fort Jackson.
“Second section—From the head of Elba
island to the head of Long island.
“ Third section—The portion including
the shoal at the oyster bed light and the
chaDHvi northeast of Fort Pulaski.
“In each of these sections any work of
improvement made in any portion has a
direct bearing #pon all the other portions.
To obtain the requisite data for the first sec
tion it was determined to gauge the cross
tides, and also Front river between Kings
and Marsh islands, and to obtain the fall
through the cross tides and the different
portions of Front river to Fort Jackson.
“In the second seciian jt js intended to
gauge both the north and south channels
near their junctions at the head of Elba
Island, and to make current observations in
each of the openings between the islands on
the south side of the north channel to as
certain what would be the effect of closing
them all.
“To determine the effect of any improve
ment of this portion of the river upon St.
Augustine creek, it is also intended to make
some current observations at its entrance
into the south channel. The fall in the river
through this section will also ueontained.”
* -• A contract for building a submerged
dam at the cross tides was made with Mr.
Daniel V. Howell, of New York, October
10th, 187S. This work should Uaye been
commenced on November 10th, (by its terms)
but 1 r ocrrt -‘t to say there has been some de
lay, unavoidably in laying down
the dam. Material has been collected and
the construction of the dam will soon be
commenced.
The effect of this dam It is believed, will
be to divert a considerable body of water
from Back to Front rivers, thereby increas
ing the depth in front of the city.
On the last of November I sounded the
channel at Venus Point, and as far as 1
could ascertain, there existed about the
usual depth of water in the channel, though
it had somewhat narrowed at the western
end. Some of the pilot*, however, Jaim
that the channel has considerably shoaled,
and the deep channel of nineteen feet of
water at low tide has shortened since the
war. Further examination will be made of
this channel at an early day. I have
sounded the ship channel from the Tower
cud of ^ig Island to a point near Fort
Jackson, and rind three points in it that
seem to have shoaled somewhat, that is op
posite East Broad street, opposite the gas
works, ;md directly in front of the mouth of
Back river.
The cause of the shoaling opposite East
Broad street and at the gas works must be
from sand washing from the streets, and
should be dredged out.
The shoaling in front of Back river is most
likely caused by the washing of the accumu
lated sand at the mouth of that stream into
the dredged channel by the ebb tide, and
the immediate remedy is to dredge it out.
We hope much good to navigation will re
sult Irom the building of the submerged
dam at cross-tides in connection with dredg
ing both west and east of the city.

OCR COUNTY JAIL.
The Report of the Jailer for the
Year.
The annual report of Mr. Waring Russell,
Jailer of Chatham county, communicated
to the Mayor, contains information of suffi
cient interest to render its reproduction In
a condensed form in our columns. The Jailer
says:
Of the total number of prisoners received
during the year—
There were from Chatham county 86
There were from United Stales 9
There were from other counties 1
There were lunatics . 20
.937
Msking a total of..
The amount of money due city of Savannah—
By county of Chatham is $ 9,506 60
By the United Steles is 438 50
By other counties 1,552 20
Making a total amount of §11,587 30
He especially calls attention to the condi
tion cf the jail, which structure, he says,
is wholly inadequate to the demands and
necessities of our fast growing and prosper
ous community, and, as has been com
mented upon by numerous grand juries, a
disgrace to our people, a reflection upon our
pride. The jail was originally buiit to ac
commodate forty-eight prisoners, while
during the past year there has been an aver
age of eighty confined in it. The cells are
entirely too’ small, aud necessarily damp
from insufficient ventilation and very little
light, and of these cells there are sixteen
(eight below and eight above) which
are entirely destitute of either light
or ventilation, and in these cells he has been
obliged to crowd two and three prisoners at
a time. The wings w hich exclude the light
and ventilation from these sixteen cells are
exceedingly insecure, and can only be used
down stairs on one side as a bathing room,
and the other side has to be perpetually
closed up because of insecurity. The up
stairs wing on the east side is utilized as a
room for watchmen, and on the west side
for sick and convalescent prisoners. He
has refrained, for obvious reasons, from
time to time, from thus publicly calling at
tention to the condition and insecurity of
the jail, but now that it is rapidly growing
worse and worse, it would be a dereliction
of duty on his part to remain silent any
longer.
The walls are in a dilapidated condition;
the lining of the jail is rapidly rotting; the
iron gratings to windows are insecure by the
giving away of wood work; the prison is
cold and dingy; no means of heating it, and
generally, in every detail that pertains to
comfort, convenience or security, he regards
the jail as little less than a torture, and calls
for some prompt and decisive action. If it
were possible, legislation should be invoked
looking to the erection of a jail in
keeping with the demands and necessi
ties of the times, or there will
continually arise necessary and constant re
pairs, and an increased guard to keep up
aud maintain the present dilapidated struc
ture. In addition to the large number of
prisoners, he has been very seriously incon
venienced by the increased number of luna
tics which have been sent to the prison.
There are no conveniences or comforts for
these unfortunate people, and the voice of
humanity pleads for them. With the limited
facilities’at his command, he has done all he
could, but feels there is much more that
ought to be done for them.
Swindling at the Race*.
The Charleston New and Courier gives the
following particulars of the recent “robbing
race” over the Washington course, in that
city, telegraphic mention of which was made
in the Morning News yesterday :
‘There was considerable muttering on the
race course on the last day of the recent
meeting, regarding the contest iu which
Ben. Hill and Mary Walton were the lead
ing participants. Charges that the mare had
been held back all the way around the track
were freely made, aud the judges appear to
have themselves suspected something wrong.
The Jockey Club held a meeting for the
purpose of investigating the matter, ou Sat
urday, and had before them Mary
Walton’s rider, a colored jockey
named Ben. Pope, alia* ‘ Rabbit,’ who
belongs to Mr. Burch’s stables. The boy
confessed that he had sold the race,
having been given §25 in cash and a pool
ticket for §39 ou Ben Hill, by Mr. L. Atchi
son, the latter’s owner, to hold the mare in.
lie stated that he had accepted the money,
and carried out the contract, and further ex
pressed the opinion that Mary could have
won at any time up to the very string, had
she been given her head. Her owner, Mr.
Crea, had also been approached to sell the
race, but refused. On this evidence ‘Rab
bit’ and Mr. Atchison were ruled off the
track. The Jockey Club belonging to the
National Racing Association, this decision
bars both rider and owner from every track
iu this country, neither being allowed either
to enter or ride hereafter.
‘ Yesterday a warrant was sworn out by
Mr. A. M. Williams against Messrs. Crca
and Atchison, and ‘Rabbit,’ charging them
with conspiracy to defraud certaiu persons
who had bought risks on Mary Walton in
the race, and the two last named were ar
rested, Mr. Crea having left. They waived
examination and were bound over in the
sum of five hundred dollars each to appear
before the Sessions Court for trial at the
next term, parties in this city becoming
surety for them. The case, if it comes to
trial, will bring up the question as to the
legality of pool selling. It is claimed that
the Jockey Club is empowered by its char
ter, granted by the Legislature, to have sales
of pools upon races under its auspices on
their grounds, thus legalizing the purchases
of tickets.
“ There is much indignation among those
who lost money ou the mare at there reve
lations, and it is charged that Mr. Atchison
made a ‘heavy haul,’ backing his horse.
There is talk of civil process against him to
compel a return of the money won.”
Selllug Unwholesome Food—A Se
rious <> House.
Yesterday merning, at the instance of a
gentleman whose name it is not necessary
to mention, Magistrate Wade issued a war
rant against Robert Wilkinson, colored, on
the charge of selling unwholesome food,
half putrid fowls, in the Market. The charge
is a serious one, and is tb;, first of the kind
that has been brought up in a long time,
the strict vigilance of the efficient Clerk of
the Market restraining those who are in
clined to such nefarious practice from at
tempting it. On Saturday night the wife
of the geutleman referred to'purehased a
pair of chickens from Wilkinson, who war
ranted them perfectly sound, and the pur
chaser being ip a hurry, accepted his
assertion aud did not stop to ex
amine them. Shortly after reaching
home, she noticed a peculiarly un
pleasant odor about the market basket,
and soon detected the cause—the fowls
were spoiled. Her husband, upon being in
formed of the matter, visited tb° Market on
Monday aud reprimanded Wilkinson for
selling the fowls, when that individual be
came very abusive, and said he did not care.
A warrant in consequence was issued ?.gainet
him. After heuiiug ibe evidence, Magis
trate Wade committed him to jail to await
trial. There is not only a city ordinance
prohibiting the exposing or selling of un

A Colored Woman Shoot* Another.
In yesterday’s News mention was made
of the arrest of L. C. Williams, colored, on
the charge of shooting Lizzie Tillman, col
ored, at her house on York street lane, be
tween Price and Houston streets. The
name was incorrectly recorded, and should
have been Elsie Williams, a colored woman.
After the opening of the Police Court Elsie
was turned over to Magistrate Woodhouse
on a warrant charging her with assault with
intent to murder. The facts of the case as
given are that between 9 and 10 o’clock on
Monday night, as Lizzie Tillman was coming
out of her house, she was accosted by Elsie
Williams, who said : “Look out; I’m going
tq shoot.” The threatened woman, jump
ing back, inquired the cause of this demon
stration, when Elsie, drawing a pis
tol, and without answering the
question, said: “Look out for the ball,”
and pulled the trigger. Lizzie fell to the
ground, the ball having struck her in the
lower part of the abdomen. Dr. J. T. Mc
Farland was summoned and rendered the
requisite attention. Yesterday morning the
condition of the woman was critical and the
physician is of the opinion the wound will
prove fatal. Elsie was committed to jail to
await triaL The injured woman asserts
that the shooting was without provocation,
as she had had no difficulty with her as
sailant.
NerTe Inquietude and It* Remedy.
Restless nerves, at l^ast those that are con
stantly so, are weak ones as well. The true
way to tranquilize them thoroughly is to
strengthen them. It may be, nay, it very often
is necessary to have a recourse to a sedative or
even an opiate, in dangerous cases of nervous
inquietude, but the continued use of such un
natural palliatives, is greatly to be deprecated.
Though not, in a restricted sense, a specific for
nervousness, Hostetter s Stomach Bitters is
eminently calculated to allay and eventually
overcome it, a fact which the recorded experi
ence of many goes to substantiate. This ines
timable tonic, bj promoting digestion, assimi
lation and secretion, touches the three key
notes up-jn which the harmony of all the bodily
organs depends, and the result is that fresh
stores of vitality are diffused through the sys
tem, of which the nerves receive their due ap
portionment, and grow tranquil as they gather

A Change That is a Blessing.
There Is no more remarkable feature, in the
progress of science, and no greater change in
any professional practice, than is illustrated by
the contrast of the medical system of to-day
and thirty years ago. Then all medicines were
copious in quantity, and nauseous to the taste.
To take them was a trial to adults and an over
whelming horror to the young. Now most
doses are small and concentrated.and frwe from
offensive flavor. Until recently, however, one
of the most valuable and efficient of remedies
was detestable to nearly all for whom it was
prescribed. Cod Liver Off, the only cure for
wasting decline ot vital energy, and certaSff
means of renewing healthy tissue, disgusted
those to whom it should have done most good.
Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil with the
Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda removes
this only objection. Its flavor is really pleas
ant, its nourishing power marvelous, and there
is no finer nerve and brain tonic in the world.
