OIK WATER sI’PPLY.
A New Reservoir to be Built sad a
Special Tax to be Levied.
The most important measure originating
with the present Board of Aldermen was In
troduced last evening at the meeting of
Council, and was unanimously passed. This
waa a report from the Commissioners of W a
ter Works la regard to the present supply of
water. The committee state that, having
given the water supply very careful consid
eratlcn, they find it entirely inadequate to
the demand. The committee further say that
the present works, having been erected in
ISM, are Insufficient to supply the presen'
demand, so that consumers in many por
tions of the city obtain but a scanty supply
of water, and in some instances they can
not get any water in the third stories of
their houses.
A bouutiful supply of water for health as
well as protection against fire is an absolute
necessity. The increased and constantly in
creasing demand for water requires prompt
action on your part. We find, flret, that the
reservoir is not of euffiolent height or
capacity. Second, that the pumping facili
ties are not sufficient. Third, that the
mains are too small. To overcome these
difficulties we would recommend:
First. The erection of another reservoir
or stand pipe to be used in connection with
the present one.
Second. The purchase of a uew pump
ing engine of sufficient capacity.
Third. The increase of the sire of the
mains.
In view of the importance of the matter
we would recommend that these additions
and improvements be made without delay,
and that a special tax be levied in the levy
ot taxes for the year 1532, on real estate, to
pay the expenses in such manner as the
Finance Committee mty in their judgment
determine.
A Convenient and Desirable Insti
tution.
It will be observed by reference to our
advertisement columns that Mr. Frank M.
Readick has opened, at No. 6 Bull street, a
general intelligence and collecting agency,
the purposes of which are fully explained
In the announcement. Such an Institution
is needed in Savannah, has proven very
popular and successful in other cities, and
will be a source of convenience and benefit
to our citixens generally. Mr. Readick is a
' worthy young man, energetic and capable,
and we are assured will faithfully and satis
factorily look after the interests of all who
entrust their business with him. He
guarantees prompt returns and reasonable
terms, and we commend him and his
agency to the favorable consideration and
patronage of the public. Read the an
nouncement.
A Delightful Thunderstorm.
Yesterday afternoon, about five o’clock,
a lively gale from the southwest swept over
the city. The dust was sent whirling In
every direction, trees were shorn of 'heir
limbs, and the skies were overcast with
dark, threatening clouds. Parties who were
on the street \sere not slow to secure some
place of Shelter from the blinding dust, and
there was s general skedaddling. In about
ten minutes after the windstorm the clouds
opened their gates and the rain fell in tor
rents, accompanied with thunder and light
ning. The temperature was greatly lowered
and the evening was delightfully cool and
refreshing. The rain continued for some
time and waa most welcome.
Spirits Turpentine.
Bpirite turpentine is exhibiting a great deal
of activity just cow, and the price is rapidly
advancing. Regulars were quoted at 34
cents on Saturday last, and on last evening
they had advanced to 36}£ cents, and It was
rumored that some private sales had taken
place at higher figures. The stock is very
light, and it Is In demand, and some buyers
endeavor to make arrival purchases. Some
parties predict that it will bring 40 cents
within the next few days. The stock on
hand and on shipboard not cleared last
evening was 3,560 casks.
Young Mchluhau Found.
The young man, Peter McGlashan, em
ployed In the foundry of Messrs. Mc-
Donough <k Ballantyce, concerning whose
mysterious disappearance much has been
said, was traced by his father to Blackshear,
Pierce county, and was brought back to the
city. He is'now under the care of bis
family, and has little to say regarding his
strange conduct.
Painful Accident.
About four o’clock yesterday afternoon a
young white man named Sim Hall, while
handling some lumber on West Broad street,
met with quite a painful accident. A large
stick fell on one of bis hands, mashing the
second finger very badly and bruising his
hand.

A Handsome Dining Car for the
Charleston and Savannah Rail
way.
Mention was made in our telegraphic
columns yesterday of the arrival at Charles
ton of the elegant new dining room or res
taurant car, from the work shops of Messrs.
Jackson & Sharp, Wilmington, Delaware,
where It was recently completed for the
Charleston and Savannah Railway. Another
has been ordered exactly like It, and will
be placed on the Savannab, Florida and
Western Railway, to be run between this
city and Jacksonville.
The car Is a model of beauty and com
fort and is built precisely on the same plan
as the palace dininj cars on the Western
railroads. It is divided into two compart
ments. One of these, which takes up about
one-thtrd of the length of the car. Is fitted
up as a kitchen and pantry, containing a
range, wash sinks, water pumps and every
modern appliance for cooking and serving
meals in the best possible style. On one
side of this apartment is a passageway
opening on the platform through which en
trance ami exit to and from the car is made.
The remainder of the space In the car Is
used as the diningroom, containing eight
cables capable of accommodating four
persons each. The tables, which are mova
ble, are made of handsome woods, and tbe
table service Is entirely of silver, including
goblets and trays. " The seats are verv
bandsomely upholstered in red plush and
are reversible. The exterior of the car is
painted gold and brown and
contains In many colored letters the Inscrip
tion: “Charleston, Savannah and Florida
Express Dining Car.”
The one on the Charleston and Savannab
Rtilway line was inaugurated, as has been
reported by telegraph, by a pleasant excur
sion to Yemaeee, concerning which the
Xerg and Courier says:
“The excursionists consisted of Mr. H. B.
Pianf, President of the Southern Express
Company, of the Charleston and Savannah
Railway Company and of the Savannab,
Florida and Western Railway: Mr. M. J.
0 Brien, General Superintendent of the
Southern Express Company; Col. H. S.
Haines, General Manager of tbe Savannab,
Florida and Western Railway; Mr. C. 8.
Gadsden, General Superintendent of the
Charleston and Savannah Railway; Col. 8.
B. Pickens, President of the Enterprise
Railroad Company; Collector Baldwin, Msj.
Brawlev, Mr. O. M. Sadler. Mr. E. W. Mar
shall, Mr. A. S. Brown, Mr. E. H. Jackson,
and other prominent citizens and merchants.
Major Watson, tbe skillful and experienced
chief of tbe Charleston Hotel, had charge
of tbe cuisine, which was managed, it is
needless to say, in the most admirable and
satisfactory manner. The party sat down
to a dinner soon after leaving Charleston
and did full justice to the tempting viands
cooked and served in the train. After
which prospects of the road were discussed
over sundry goblets of foaming champagne.
Tbe excursionists returned to the city about
half past nine o'clock after one of the most
pleasant trips of the season.”
The Youth** Historical Society—A
New Feature.
The Youths’ Historical Society have, after
due consideration, entered upon anew and
attractive feature, which, when carried into
effect and its benefits become fully realized,
will no doubt meet with the earnest co
operation of our citizens.
It is the intention of the association to
present to the public on the second and
fourth Thursdays of each month au enter
tainment consisting of literary and musical
exercises, attractive and pleasing in every
character, and to extend a cordial invitation
to those interested In such affairs to attend.
This excellent offer, so liberally extended
to our community, gives all an opportunity
of passing many agreeable and pleasant
evenings in an instructive manner during
tbe present summer, and we have no hesita
tion In predicting its popularity.
This evening the feature will be inaugu
rated, and on this occasion an excellent pro
gramme will be presented. The exercises
will consist of declamations, recitations and
readings, in which the talent of the society
will participate. Tne musical portion will
be equally attractive, and adds much to the
entertainment. We would advise ail to
avail themselves of this invitation and by
their presence show the Youths that their
efforts are appreciated. The entertainment
will be given at their hall in Masonic Tem
ple, and commences at 8:30 o’clock.
1 be Gnards Excursion.
The Guards had their annual excursion to
Tybee yesterday afternoon. The steamer
Plant left her wharf shortly after 2 o’clock,
with a very large party, and enjoyed the
run down greatly, the Guards brass and
string band being on board and furniahlng
music for the lqvers of the dance.
On reaching Tybee they were quickly trans
ported to the Ocean House, over the tram
way, the clever Superintendent, Mr. James
K. Munnerlyn. having a full train of cars
on tbe wharf awaiting them. The surf
bathing was delightful, and the weather be
ing chinning, strolls along tbe beach and
dancing In the pavilion were alike popular.
Noth withstanding tbe threatening appear
ance of the weather, and the fact that rain
was falling at the time, the six o’clock
steamer carried down a large number of
ladies and gentlemen to join those already
gathered at the Island. About eight
o’clock the clouds cleared away, the stars
made their appearance, and by nine o’clock
the moon was shining brightly and beauti
fully. So after all the Guards had their
moonllght trip up the river on their return
home.
A General Reduction.
Mr. H. C. Houston, the well known fash
ionable milliner, No. 141 Congress street,
has determined upon a general reduction in
the prices of his elegant goods, in fact a
regular clearing out sale, and our fair read
ers who are in need of anything in this line
should call and see for themselves. Mr.
Houston hss a magnificent stock of articles
in this branch, and bargains may surely be
anticipated. His assortment of laces, neck
ties, gloves, hosiery, ribbons and novelties,
embraces something that will please every
fancy. Je6-tf

THE KINDERGARTEN RECEP
TION.
Interesting Account of the Exer
cises.
The rec eption of the American Kinder
garten, which closed the Instructions of the
school, at the chapel bu tiding on Draytdh
street, was very well attended by the pa
rents and friends of the children. Only
brief mention has been made of the exer
cises, and in compliance with the request
of many we give a fuller account of the
proceedings, which were quite interest
ing.
The exercises were opened with tbe chant,
“Our Father Who Art in Heaven,” fol
lowed by recitations on “Colors,” “Gems,”
“Virtue*” and calisthenics. A recitation in
concert, “Over the Meadows,” was then
given, after which the salutatory was de
livered in capital style by Alice Bates.
Then followed recitations by -Joeie Lovell,
“Our Cat and her Kittens,” Willie EcksteiD,
“He Didn’t Think,” and David Myerson,
“Elephant on a Journey.”
The exercise in practical arithmetic was
capital, and tbe recitation by Nellie Ehrlich,
“Whoiaa Darling Little Girl,” was very
good.
The Child’s Idea of Snow, “Falling
Feathers,” a pretty song, was effectively
rendered by Carrie and Courtland Dixon.
Hannah Myereon’s recitation, “Con
stancy,” was very well given. “The Months
of the Year” were presented by twelve
children in character, and was a very
pleasing feature of the exhibition.
Petite Alice Connerat told in a charming
manner “The Story of the Morning Glory,”
and Carrie Dixon pleasantly conveyed “A
Child’s Advice to Mamma.”
The great feature of the exhibition, how
ever, was tbe presentation of tbe extrava
ganza “Sleeping Beauty,” the characters of
which were well personated both In costume
and expression, were as follows:
Hannah Myerson, “Queen Mother;” Geo.
Freeman, “King;” Carrie Dixon, “sleep
ing Beauty or Princess;” Courtland Dixon,
“Prince;” Grantham Taggart, “Bardl, the
Jester;” Joaie Lovell, “King’s Page;” D.
Myerson, W. Eckstein, “Body Guard;” Jo
sephine Jones, “Queen of Fairies;” Louis
McNulty, “Cupid, her attendant:” Mary
Jones, Marie Habersham, Alice Bates, Nel
lie Ehrlich, Alice Connerat, Masie Ferst,
“Fairies;” Sallie Wilbur, “Sera, revenge
ful fairy.”
The grouping of the characters in their
exquisite costumes at tbe close formed a
most beautiful tableau.
Prize medals were then distributed for
deserved merit In different departments,
Miss Hannah Myerson and Miss Josephine
Jones receiving the two highest medals for
general excellence.
The concluding solo, “LaughiDg Eyes of
Blue,” was most exquisitely rendered by
Mies Marie Habersham as a fairy.
The valedictory was also gracefully ren
dered by Louis McNulty, as “Cupid.” This
was followed by the feast, which the chil
dren enjoyed with their little friends.
Where all did well it is hard to discrimi
nate, but It is due to award the meed of
praise to the “Queen Mother” and the
“Queen of Fairies” for their grace, dignity
and self-possession in the different parts
assigned them. To the sweet solo elngers
and to tbe fair one who so clearly gave the
salutatory, and we would not omit “That
Smallest Boy In School,” who gave the
valedictory as “Little Cupid.”
It has been said that the system of in
struction known as the American Kinder
garten, is not tbe genuine German system.
It can only be answered that it has never
made such pretensions.
Toe American system claims to embody
ail the attractive forms of beauty and form 6
of knowledge,with their instructive lessons,
so exquisitely trrauged by Froebel, and
to interweave with them the alphabet of
language.
It thus leads our American children,
whose progressive instincts call for books
and slates for practice with theory, up the
steps of knowledge by easy and by flowery
paths.
Urged on by parental ambition, which in
our country brooks no delay, they grapple
Intelligently with strong thoughts, the out
growth of those very simple teachings of ear
lier years, and perform more earnest duties
than the occupations which pleased their
childish fancy, and the exercises which
gave development and recreation to their
little bodies.
It is a happy thought that the introduc
tion of this system in Savannah opened
the door for the establishing
of other Kindergartens, essentially
German, and that the successful efforts of
tneir worthy Instructors tesiify to tin appre
ciation of Kindergarten tr&oiDe by the
enlightened and intellectual of our commu
nity.
Let us hope that the day is near when
our lovely park and squares shall be en
livened by peaceful children, happily en
gaged In the games and songs of the Kin
dergarten, as in “der Faderland,” instead
of the too frequent wails of little ones, the
scoldings and tyranny of cross and ignorant
nurses, and the belligerent juveniles who
give blow for blow.
To this end may all such efforts ba suc
cessful. We stand on the threshold of new
and progressive features in the education of
children, and it may not be well for anyone
to affirm that this or that is the only way.
Each step forward does not ditplace the
last taken, but develops Its purpose and in
tent, like tbe royal rose, unfolding leaf by
leaf, at last bursts out in perfumed beauty
the queen of flowers.
So there Is.a divinity of purpose in every
thing that tends to surround young lives
and enchain their minds with thoughts of
beauty and loving jurpesa of heart that,
may defy the Insidious corruptions of the
age.
Every or any system that has this for its
aim and object, and that tends to bring
children early and tenderly into the knowl
edge o( Him who created them and the
great world around them with its wondrous
secrets by prescribed or original methods, is
essentially and practically “Kindergarten ”
It is the mother’s deputy, the father’6 senti
nel, the sister’s love, the brother’s defense,
aiding the child traveler in his journey
through the labyrinths of learning. It is
by the grace of God the blessing of this
sge, but, without His blessing, fruitless aud
barren of success, for
“Doth not H i hand rule ail things,
And intend the least of our concerns.
Since from the least the greatest oft origi
nates.”
Sneak Thieve* Caught.
Last evening about seven o’clock three
worthless negro sneak thieves made a raid
upon the store of Messrs. Walsh <fc Farrell,
on Broughton street, near Jefferson, and
captured a number of shoes, which they
concealed In their shirts or blouses. Mr.
Walsh was sitting in the front of his store,
which extends back to the lane, the rear
doors being open. The colored boy em
ployed in the store was about tbe premises,
and while engaged three negroes en
tered from the laDe, seized some
shoes from an open box, stuffed them in
their shirts, and were about de
parting when they were seen by the
porter, who called out to Mr. Farrell that
“some nigger was stealing shoes.” Mr.
Farrell glaDced around and observed tbe
negroes retreating. He immediately has
tened around the corner for the purpose of
intercepting the thieves. They saw him
aDd fled precipitately, but he followed, and
at the corner of West Broad and Bryan
streets captured one of the negroes, whom
he shortly after turned over to Policeman
Bmith to be carried to the barracks. Tbe
negro denied having taken the shoes, and
claimed that those on his person had
been dropped by the other negroes, and he
had picked them up. He endeavored to
effect his release by informing on his confed
erates, but to no purpose. A constable is
now on the track of the others, and the
prospects are that they will be captured.
Affixing the Boondarles of the
Militia District*.
A meetin g of the Board of County Com
missioners, members of the Legislature and

A communication from S. B. Hoyt, Chair
man of the Board of Commissioners of
Fulton county, was received, asking in
formation in reference to tbe cost of feeding
prisoners and county expenses, which Com
missioner Paine stated he had answered at
length.
Commissioners Lawton and Casey, to
whom was referred the proposition of Dr.
W. G. Bulloch in reference to the feed of
a horse to make visits to the convict camps,
etc., reported they had made economical
arrangements with Mr. Carson, which here
tofore had been very satisfactory, and they
saw no necessity for a change. Report
adopted.
Henry Bleber appeared before the Com
missioners, and was sworn in as Justice of
the Peace of the Seventh district, and duly
commissioned.
The following report was submitted by
Commissioners Paine and Walker:
In the matter of the communication of J.
J. McGowan, Esq., Tax Collector, in regard
to the default tax returns of Messrs. Bald
win & Cos., in the digest of 1880, and which
communication covers the correspondence
between Mr. B. E Bee, late Tax Receiver,
and Messrs. Baldwin & Cos. and the Comp
troller General In relation to said default,
we, your committee, to whom the same was
referred, have the honor to report that., after
a careful examination of all tbe
facts, as we gather them from
tha papers before us, we think
that Messrs. Baldwin & Cos. and the Tax
Receiver have not acted strictly within the
pale of the law, and lu making this declare
tion we do not intend to reflect on any of
the gentlemen, and believing that the bet
ter coume to pursue iu this matter will be
for the Sheriff to return tbe ft. fa. to the
Tax Collector, with an entry on the same
nulla bona, and that Mest-rs. Baldwin &
Cos. be allowed to make their return under
oatb, de now, and at once pay the tax
which will be due under the last return, and
that Messrs. Baldwin & Cos. pay the Sheriff
for his entry on fi. fa.
On motion, it waa ordered that Sarah Bul
loch be continued on tbe beneficiary list at
three dollars per month until further orders.
The applications of Mrs. Bulskin, Mary
Thompson and Ishatn Lee for relief were
referred to Commissioner Walker.
Certain liquor dealers were reported as
doing business without license, and on
motion it was ordered that the names be
placed before the grand jury.
The matter of Katy Robinson, colored,
on the beneficiary list of Rev. Alexander
Harris, was referred to Commissioner
Meyer with power to act.
A petition was received from T. H. Wil
liams, attorney for R. A J. Lachlison, for
relief from excessive tax. On motion or
dered that the tax paid by R. &J. Lachli
son be refunded as asked for.
A communication from Wm. Hall, Deputy
Sheriff, enclosing a bill of charges to tbe
amount of $6 25, for bringing prisoners to
the court house, was referred to the Chair
man on the 11th May.
The following report was submitted and
adopted:
“In the matter of a small bill of costs
charged by Wm. Hall, Deputy Sheriff,
against the county of Chatham, I have the
honor to report that I have examined the
Code and I cannot find any law authorizing
the payment by the county of the Items
charged in said bill of costs!
“The law directs tbe Coroner to select any
constable to execute his precepts, but does
not give him the right, in my opinion, of
commanding the Bherlff and nis deputies,
anu the reason is apparent. The Sheriff’s
office is superior to that of the Coroner, ex
cept when the law specially clothes the
Coroner with superior power, which it does
not in ordinary cases.
“Tbe charges} in the bill are for bringing
five prisoners from Chatham county jail to
the Coroner’s inquest, the said prisoners
being witnesses. In the fee bill, as pub
lished in the Code, a Sheriff is entitled to
one dollar and twenty-five cents forcon
ductlng a prisoner before a Judge or court
to and from jail, but It cannot be charged
against the county unless as Insolvent costs,
and by the special law for Chatham county
the Bheriff is paid the sum of six hundred
dollars and no more per anuum on his bills
of insolvent costs (see Acts of 1876, patre
106). Such beinj? the law, the Sheriff
nor his deputies cannot make
this charge, as set forth in the
bill referred to me, unless It Is Included
In the S6OO as mentioned above. This Is &
very small matter, and could the bill be
paid out of the county Treasury legally I
would with pleasure recommend its pay
ment. The only cost allowed by the law for
bolding an inquest is $lO for the inquest,
sls for burial expenses aud $1 to the con
stable.”
The jail account for the month of May,
for $306 50, was referred to the Jail Com
mittee.
