TIIE NEW GAS WORKS.
HOW WATER GAS IS MANUFAC
TURED.
The Condition- of Generation and the
Process Employed by the Mutual Gas
Light Couipanv —Inscription of the
Building- and the Machinery Employ*
ed—The Works to be Completed and in
Operation by the Ist of February.
The new works oi the Mutual Gas
Light Company, it is expected, will be
completed bv the first of February, when
water gas will be introduced in Savannah
as an illuminating material. About 150
workmen are engaged in laying the mains
through the city, and experienced ma
chinists are erecting the machinery at the
works. Everything is being pushed for
ward as rapidly as possible, and the com
pany will be ready to accommodate its
patrons at an early date. A visit to the
works, at the corner of East Broad and
Huntingdon streets, is attended with con
siderable interest.
The attention of the visitor is called not
onlv to the order in which the works are
being constructed, but the order in which
the process of manufacture of the gas
w ill 1— carried on. The first conditions in
the making of the gas are attained in the
generating room which is enclosed by the
walls of a structure independent of the
adiacent building, and yet attached to
thi m with a party wall forming the line
s.-oaration. This room is 55x4* feet
and feet in height. Here there are two
g aerators, two wa-ie r-. two i: !• n- r-.
a blast engine and blower, all operated
bv a 50-horse power lioiier. The generators
are known as the first and second. They
are lined with several thousand wedge
shaped fire brick. A number of tire brick
will also lie used to enclose the boiler, so
that in thi- department alone 17,0**) fire
brick will be utilized. The boiler which
furnish. -4 th>- motive power to the engine
and blower also supplies the generators
with steam, which enters the first genera
tor through a compact mass of anthracite
coal, and the contact creates a w hite heat
in Use coal and produces hydrogen con
taining a certain percentage of vapor.
Leading into this generator is a small
pi(>e, bv means of which a certain amount
of naphtha is supplied and the candle
js.wer of the gas cither increased or
diminished. If too much or too little
naphtha is furnished at this stage of the
process, the gas will be cither smoky or
clear and the candle power corre
spondingly increased or diminished.
This product thence passes into the se
cond generator, or superheater, where the
gas is additionally heated to make vvhat
i- termed a fixed gas, where it is let into
tie scrubbers or washers. The interior
of the washers is furnished witii a num
ber of small partitions and shelves con
taining water, which separate the resi
duum of oil from thejgas. This oil is car
ried off through a waste pipe, while the
gas is conveyed into the condensers,
where it is "cooled. The generators,
washers and condensers are of iron, and
look to the casual observer like large
steamboat boilers, standing, in an up
right position. The blast engine and
blower forces the steam into the gener
ators and the- gas through the washers.
Eight iron pipes, each one foot in diame
ter. lead from the washers into the puri
fying !>cxes, which are located iu an ad
joining structure designated as
THE PURIFYING ROOM.
This room is 35x45 feet and 10 feet in
height to the eaves. Beneath it is a cel
lar about 8 feet high in the clear. The
eight large pipes from the washers are
placed in the cellar and converge at a
point beneath the centre of the purifying
room, in the floor of which is a double trap
doer of wood, which, when open, reveals
a large iron cylinder, the cap of which is
3 feet 2 inches in diameter. This cvliu
d-r resembles a huge ship’s cap
stan, and is made to revolve at the
will of the person in charge of the
works, bv means of a lever and
set of cog wheels. This cylinder is
t< clinically known iu gas manufactories
a- the “‘seal.” It is constructed with a
great deal of nicety, and rests on a secure
foundation of stone and brick in order
that it may set permanently level. Other
wise it could not Is- depended upon to do
the work for which it is intended. The
operator is supposed to face the north
when he takes hold of the lever, and as
he presses the handle of it
outward from the seal the
machine slowly revolves from the north
around towards the east and south. It is
never turned in the opposite direction,
and its office is to do the work of a valve,
by means of which the gas from the
washers is distributed through the pipes
into
THE PURIFYING BOXES,
which occupy the four corners of the
room. These boxes are constructed of
’ -inch boiler iron, and are 10x12 feet
across and 36 inches deep. An exterior
casing of boxes, constructed ot JGifmh
boiler iron, enclose them on all
sides, with an intervening space of alsiut
2 inches left between the boxes and their
covering, which is filled with water to
form a gas-tight receptacle, and thus pre
vents the escape of the product.
The lower half of the purifying boxes,
to tie- depth of about 36 inches, is fur
nish. (I w ith four layers of 1-inch slats,
constructed in sections measuring alwnit
2by 5 feet each. Between these layers,
that are 4 or 5 inches apart, and resting on
the slats, between each of which there is
a v rtical space "t about 1-16
of an inch, there is placed
adeposit of slaked lime about two inches
in <h pth. The reader can imagine these
boxes thus furnished with the slated
shelving and lime, and tightly closed by
the exterior covering of water and iron;
but he is reminded that he has not been
told what the upper and apparently empty
section of the purifying boxes is reserved
for. A few words only are necessary to
answer that question. The product, after
leaving the washers, is conducted through
four of the eight large pipes, and through
the seal in the centre to the purifying
boxes, where it rises through the layers of
slaked lime. The lime absorbs the sul
phuretted hydrogen, and the carbonic ox
ide. When the lime becomes saturated,
the feed of gas is eut off by revolving the
seal, after which the lime is removed, the
slats cleaned and new slaked lime substi
tuted. On leaving the purifying l>ox the
gas is merchantable and fit for use, and
is conveyed into the station meter, an
instrument similar to the consumers’
meter, where the quantity manufactured
is measured and registered and then
passed into
the gas holder,
which is 72 feet 4 inches iu diameter and
20 feet deep, and will hold 100,000 feet of
gas. It is eonstrueted of iron and hangs
like an inverted cup in an immense cis
tern or tank, filled with water. The gas
is admitted through a large pipe, which
passes from beneath the reservoir of water
to the interior of the holder, and raises
the latter like a balloon nearly out of
the reservoir, the water all the time
kee{>inc the bottom of the holder gas tight.
A s.-eond pipe leads from the interior ot
the holder to the mains, which carry the
gas
THROUGH THE CITY.
As the gas passes-out of the holder into
the mains, the holder will descend in the
reservoir unless a corresponding amount
of gas is manufactured, and the supply
thus kept up. These works have the ca
pacity to produce 350,000 feet of gas daily.
The wall forming the reservoir about
the holder is 43 inches thick at the bottom
and 20 inches thick at the top. It is
laid iu Rosendale and faced inside
with Portland cement. In this work
alone 250 barrels of cement and 95,000
brick were used.
All the carpenter work that isl>eingdone
at the works is under the superintendence
of slr. Henry Bartlett. The brick work was
executed under the supervision of Mr. AV.
F. Bowe. 3lessrs. Cooly and Sutherland
built the tank, or reservoir, by contract,
and also have the contract for laying the
mains through the city. The work of
every department is under the general su
pervision, during their construction, of Mr.
.1.15. Chichester, the chief engineer, who
made the estimates for and supervised the
erection of gas works in fifteen principal
cities where water sras is used for illumi
nating purposes. He constructed the gas
works iu the City of 31exico and in Brook
lyn. N. Y’., and is doubtless one of the
most experienced and successful engi
neers of this class of work in this country.
The laying of the mains was begun on
the first of Last month. Sixteen miles of
12-inch, 8-inch. 6-inch and 4-inch pipes are
being laid, and nearly all the principal
streets have lieen piped in this way
already. The entire work will be com
pleted "about the Ist of February, if not
Indore, and will cost about $150,000.

•‘The Kajah" To-Morrow—The Hess
Opera Company and Thomas Keene
Next TVeek.
The talented young actress. Miss Carrie
Swain, in the comedy, “Cad, the Tom
Boy,’’ appeared before a small audience
last night. Miss Swain is a versatile and
vivacious actress, and completely eapi
vated her hearers, winning repeated ap
plause. The play is admirably adapted
to display her talents, and in it
she is certainly a success. The company
is good and excellently sur ports the
charming voting artist in the character
she assumes, ft is to be regretted the
audience last night was not larger. The
performance will be repeated to-night,
when it is probable the house will be well
filled.
Mr. Lee W. Townsend, business mana
ger for Thomas AV. Keene, is in the city
arranging for the appearance of that emi
nent tragedian next Wednesday and
Thursday evenings, the 12th and l.'Jth
insts. Air. Keene is a favorite with Savan
nah theatre-goers. He will appear on
Wednesday evening as “Richard 111./’
and on Thursday evening as “Cassius,’’
in -Julius CjesaY,” supported by Mr. J.
Newton Gotthold, as “Brutus."
The repertoire of the Hess Opera Com
pany during their engagement in this city
next week will include “Martha” on
Monday evening, the ••Bohemian Girl" on
Tuesday evening, and “Olivette" at Tues
day’s matinee.
Tiie sale of reserved seats for “The
Rajah” will open at Davis Bros.’ this
morning at 8:30 o’clock. The sale for the
Hess l>i*era Company will begin on Sat
urday morning at 8:30 o’clock.
Cauglit in a Lathe.
Mr. M. J. Dooner met with a painful
accident while at work in the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway shops yes
terday afternoon. He was employed at a
lathe, and iu some way his left hand came
in contact with the machinery and was
drawn into the gearing. The second linger
Wits caught between two cog wheels and
crushed up to the first joint. Had it not
been that the lathe was stopped his entire
hand would have been mangled among
the heavy wheels. The wound was im
mediately dressed by Dr. Read, and it is
probable tlie injured member will be saved
from amputation.

extending, opening and widening of Joachim,

taken of the award of said Freeholders, and
that money awarded for said property be ten
dered to said owners.
Alderman Wells called for the reading
of the assessment made bv the freeholders.
He believed it should be made a part of
the public proceedings of Council. Alder
man Thomas stated that the assessment
was not available, not being at hand, but
that it would be incorporated in the pro
ceedings when published.
The Committee on Streets and Lanes
reported adversely to opening anew

the fire department ordinance.
The ordinance introduced at the last
meeting of Council, combining the Police
and Fire Departments under one head and
reorganizing the department, was read
by the Clerk. Alderman Hamilton arose
and stated that while he was in favor of a
paid department and had been from the
first, he deemed it inadvisable at the pres
ent time to make the changes ordered by
the ordinance. He believed its passage,
if it be voted, should be deferred until a
later period. He, therefore, asked tlie
mover ot the ordinance to
withdraw it from the consideration
of the Council. The request was refused.
A motion to table the ordinance was then
defeated and it was put upon its passage.
The yeas and nays were taken and the
ordinance was defeated by a vote of 9 to 3.
Several applications for sewer connec
tions and other matters of an uninterest
ing nature wore acted upon.
A petition from the merchants,
asking a suspension of the
ordinance prohibiting the display of
their goods upon the sidewalks between
the 10th and 24th instants, in order that
they might make better displays of holi
day goods, was acted upon.
THE NEW JAIL QUESTION.
The Clerk read the following petition
from the Board of Covnty Commissioners:
To the Honorable the Mayor and Aldermen of
Savannah :
The Commissioners of Chatham county, iu
view of the general expression of opinion
in favor of the site, and their convictions in
the premises, hereby renew their application
for the land adjoining the Police Barracks,
for the plumose of erecting the new jail there
on. 8o convinced are they that tiie location
is in every respect the most desirable one for
such an institution, they feel that they would
Ih‘ unfaithful to their duty as public servants
did they not urge their views upon your hon
orable iiody.
Since their previous application the Com
missioners have hail several other sites under
consideration, none of which, however, pre
sent the same advantages as the property in
question They therefore renew their request
that vou have the land appraised and sell it
to the county. In doing so they present the
following facts to your attention:
The site and material of the present jail, if
sold, would realize about $20,000, an amount
which will be of great assistance in building
the new jail. The jail block, divided into lot i
and sold to private parties, will, when built
upon, yield a yearly revenue to the city from
taxes of $1,500 to The sale of the pres
ent site is therefore an important factor to
the oitv, as well as the county, in considering
tiie question of erecting the new jail.
A jail in any part of t he city will lie objected
to bv sonic of the residents of the locality se
lected. The question therefore to be consid
ered is,where will it meet with the least num
ber of objectors? Certainly where there are
the fewest private residences, provided the
location is otherwise desirable. Such it place,
the Commissioners think, is that which they
ask you to sell. There is not a private resi
dence on the police barracks block. On tiie
south is a wide lane, pn which are the out
buildings of three houses on Liberty street;
on the west is the public pound (now used as
the headquarters of the scavenger depart
ment) and the old cemetery, an immense area
intervening between the back of the proposed
site and Abercorn street; on the north is the
jail of the police barracks, and on the Haber
sham street or east side there is not a dwell
ing on tlie street in front of the proposed site.
The building which the Commissioners pro
pose erecting will lie highly ornamental, and
will be built iu the most modern style, with
nothing in view to designate its uses. In
fact it will be the handsomest edifice in the
citv, and instead of being an objectionable it
will be an attractive building—one which
will improve the appearance of the neighbor
hood. There is nothing unsightly in jails as
they arc now built; in fact they are to be
found in the best localities in many cities.
By erecting tiie jail where the Commis
sioners propose, it will have many advantages
over other sites. Prisoners can be easily
transferred from the barracks to the jail, and
police assistance can be quickly summoned in
the event of trouble, either internal or ex
ternal. In January the Commissioners will
take charge of the jail, and the city will be at
no expense in providing for its criminals.
The Commissioners must also call your atten
tion to the fact that the site applied for is
much nearer the court house than any that
lias been suggested.
Before many years liave pased by, it is
probable that tlieold cemetery will lie diverted
to public uses, and what could be more appro
priate than to make it a purk, in which could
lie the court house, city hall and other build
ings which a growing city requires. Such a
plan carried out would give great advantages
in conducting the business of the city and
countv. Your honorable body and the Coun
ty Commissioners, who, as public servants,
have the present wants and future welfare
of the community entrusted to their care,
must look beyond the absolute necessities of
to-dav and provide as far as lies in your
]>ower for those who are to come after you.
Thus did the wise forefathers of this city.
Your honorable body now holds its sessions in
a building which, when it was erected, was
looked upon as useless; its construction an
extravagant expenditure of money; yet to
day, ami for over three-quarters of a century,
it has been the only home of the munici
pality.
It has been suggested that a site for the new
jail could be purchased iu the burnt district.
That portion of the city is not desirable. If it
were there are ten times as many people to
raise objections as there are in the neighbor
hood of the pound.
Iu considering the question of a site appro
priate to the purpose, the Commissioners have
looked onlv to what, in their judgment, is best
for the community at large, and after long
and careful investigation, can find no place
suitable except the one applied for. If that
cannot be secured, they are of the opinion
that the present jail will have to continue to
serve its purpose, with such improvements as
can be made to it, until some other and not to
lie objected to site is discovered.
In conclusion, the Commissioners again
respectfully request your honorable body to
eo-ouerate with them in this matter, and sell
the land applied for to the county .
Vccompanying this you will Und a photo
graph of a jail, after the plan of which the
Commissioners propose to build the new jail.
Yours respectfully, „ „ _
j. H. Estili., C. C. C..
Chairman of Committee.
A petition signed by over 300 citizens
and property holders favoring the grant
ing iff the site asked for by the Commis
sioners, was also read.
After a spirited discussion the matter
was referred to the Committee on Dubllc
Sales and City Lots.

HUTCHINSON’S ISLAND.
Two bids for the leasingot Hutchinson’s
Island, offered by W. Barnwell and J. G.
West, were read. The bid offered bv Mr.
Barnwell was favorably considered, and

Council at its next meeting.

Who Will'Patronize the New Hotel?
People of good appearance are never
objected to by first class hotels, and our
projected palace will be no exception to
this general rule.
The projectors will probably decide
on a name for the new caravansary
very shortly, and it is very proba
ble that it" will be christened the
Mitchell House, in honor of Simon
Ylitchell, the noted Clothier, who has been
perhaps the most instrumental man iu
the city In making our citizens a well ap
pearing people through the medium of his
line clothing. Clothing may not make the
man, but it lays a mighty solid basis tor a
man’s progress through life. Good Cloth
ing does this, not shoddy odds and ends of
misshapen and misfitting garments.
slitchell is asking no fancy prices, hut
guarantees prices as low as anybody can
sell bis stvles of Men’s, Y'outbs’ and Boys’
Clothing at. A slerchant Tailor can’t fit
you any better than he can, and all he
asks is a call and inspection. Mitchell’s
line of Neckwear, Underwear, Hats, etc.,
is superb in attractiveness. Look for the
sign of the Golden Arm, at 159 Brough
ton street, and follow its index finger, and
you are at Simon Milchell’s.— Adv.
Times Are Hard,
And you must have clothing. The “Fa
mous” manufacture all their own Cloth

than you can get 'anywhere. 140 and 173

Lokoni, Ark., Oct. 26, 1883.—For the
sake of the balance of mankind who may
be suffering, l wish to give you my expe
rience with one of your Georgia remedies.
I have been afflicted with scrofula for
more than twelve years—have had sores
on me as large as a man’s band for that
length of time, and last summer was so
bad off that I could not wear any cloth
ing. Everybody, including myself, had
given me up to die, and said 1 would be a
dead man in three months. I had taken
hundreds of bottles of all kinds of medi
cines, had spent hundreds oi dollars with
physicians, and had ruined my system
with mercury and potash, when a friend
told me of the wonderful cures made by
Swift’s Specific. I got it and began its
use, and soon found it was just what I
wanted. In a short time it cured me
sound and well. Thousands of dollars
could not buy from me what Swift’s Spe
cific lias done for me. The county officials,
and, in fact, everybody in the county, will
bear witness to what i have written, for
I was a well-known case. Yours respect
fully, R. L. High.
