SANITATION.
Meeting or the Executive Connell of the
Citizens’ Sanitary Association—lnter-
Biting Proceedings.
The adjourned quarterly meeting sf the
Executive Committee of the Citizens"
Sanitary Association was held last eve
ning at Metropolitan Hall. Dr. J. G.
Thomas. President, in the chair.
The minutes of the previous meetings
were read and approved.
The resignation of Hon. J.L. Warren
as an officer and member of the associa
tion. owing to his living outside of the
citv, wa9 read. On motion. Mr. Warren
was requested to withdraw his letter.
The report of the Medical Director, Dr.
J. C. Lellardr, for the meeting in July
last, was read. The condition of lands
about the citv having changed since the
report was written, owing to long con
tinued drought, we omit this able paper
until the Medical Director revises it.
I>r. Thomas, the President of the associa
tion. gave an interesting aecount of his obser
vation' as to the origin of certain cases of
diphtheria which had recently come to bis
notice in his practice. He said he was called,
in the latter part of November, to attend a
family in which the father was suffering from
great physical depression and apparent blood
l>o;soning. which bad heel! in progress for sev
eral months, and which was accompanied
with ulcers on his lower limbs of a diphthe
retic character.
In the same house was a son of the gentle
man mentioned, who was also suflering
from diphtheretie ulcers. In a fewdavs diph
theria of the most malignant type develojied
in the voiing man’s throat, accompanied with
blood 'poisoning. After the lapse of a few
davs another son. a lad of 11 years, was
attacked with the same disease, and died
after an illness of ten days from blood poison
ing.
It was very evident. Hr. Thomas, continued,
that there "was some local cause for these
cases, and after investigation he found
that the well from which the sup
plv of water for the house
was obtained, was partly under the edge of
the stable, from which there was liable to be
drainage into the well. This well was dug
previous to the construction of the Hall street
-ewer, and when the latter was built it dried
the well. The well was afterwards deepened
and a supplv of water obtained. As the sewer,
by being dewier than the well, drew the water
from the latter, so when the well was deep
ened it in turn drew its supply partly from
the sewer. It was further ascertained that
a few week* la-fore the sickness the soil
pipe from the jail, which discharges into
the Ilall street sewer immediately in front of
tlie house in which these ca-es of sickness
occurred, and within a few feet of the well
just mentioned, broke and three feet of the
iHittoin of it washed out, allowing the
sewerage matter to esca)a- into the soil,
and, as is well known with all liquids, it
sought its level, and found its way into the well
and imitated the water.
Itr. Thomas said he had no doubt whatever
that these cases of diphtheria were
directly attributable to the poisoned
water supply. The matter hail
been reported by him to a physician,
a member of the Sanitary Board and the
Health officer, and it was probable that tins
inqiortant subject would receive further at
tention and official investigation.
I>r. Thomas gave it as his opinion that in
this city, as in all others, wells were fruitful
-ourcesof disease, and he advised that hydrant
river) water be used, as it was the liest for
all purposes, and when filtered as pure as any
water in the world.
The meeting then adjourned.

Disposed of by a Decided Vote —The

Request—Restricting the Fse of Fire
works—The Hutchinson’s Island Leave.
The City Council disposed of the new
jail matter last night by rejecting by a de
cided vote the petition of the County Com*
missioners, presented at the last regular
meeting, asking that the two lots adjoin
ing the police barracks be sold for the
purpose of a site for the proposed build
ing.
The board was called to order by the
Mayor. Present: Aldermen Hamilton,
Thomas. Mell, Hanley, O’Connor. Wilder.

The Committee on Accounts reported
that they had examined bills against the
citv amounting to $13,047 til, and recom
mended that they be passed for payment,

did not deem a necessary expenditure.
THE NEW JAIL QUESTION.
The Committee on Public Sales and City
Lots presented the following report, which
was received as information:
Savannah, Ga., Dec. 19.1883.
To the Honorable the Hay or and Aldermen of
the City of Sarannah:
The Committee on Public Sales anil City
Lots, to whom was referred the second appli
cation of the Commissioners of Chatham
countv for the sale to them of the land adjoin
ing the poliee barracks for the purpose of
erecting anew jail thereon, beg leave to say
that they have had the matter under consid
eration and have agreed not to submit a spe
eial riqxirt to Council on the subject. They
recommend that Council take action upon the
application at this meeting, but before doing
so thev suggest that the property owners in
the immediate vicinity of said site be allowed
another opportunity to protest, if they desire
to do so, against the granting of said applica
tion. The committee cannot agree upon a re
port. and are unwilling to submit two re)Kjrts
on the subject. They are satisfied that the
board are perfectly familiar with the reasons
in favor of and against the sale, and can de
termine the question without any report from
the committee. Respectfully submitted,
P. J. O’CONXOK,
Ch’n Com. on Public Sales and City I.ots.
The City Marshal reported the service

RESTRICTING THE USE OF FIREWORKS.
Alderman Green offered the following
ordinance, which, by unanimous consent
ot Council, was read a second time and
put upon its passage and passed:
As ordinance to amend an ordinance enti
tled an ordinance to prevent the firing of
sky rockets, wheel rockets, Roman candles,
serpents, lire crackers, and other fireworks,
or of any other articles or thing containing
gunpowder, fulminating powder, or other
explosive or detonating substance within
the corporate limits of the city, except in
the extended portion of Forsyth Place and
in public squares, and there only, during
five days before and ten days after Christ
mas day and the 4th day of July, in each
and every year, and to prescribe the penal
tv for a violation of this ordinance, passed
in Council Dec. 27, 1880.
SECTION 1. Be it ordained by the Mayor and
Aldermen of the City of Sara n ruth, and it ie
hereby ordained by the authority of the same.
That the above recited ordinance be, and the
same is hereby amended so as to restrict the
firing of skv rockets, etc., as set forth in said
ordinance within ttie enclosure known as the
extension of Forsvth Place and in the public
squares south of Liberty street.
The ordinance heretofore in force al
lowed the display of fireworks in any
public square in the city. Asa protection
to the cotton warehouses in the lower part
of the citv and the cotton in the streets, a
petition was presented, and in response to
its request the ordinance restricting the
firing of any kind of fireworks to the
squares south of Liberty street and the
Forsyth Park extension, was passed.
THE SALARY OF THE MAYOR.
Alderman O’Connor offered the follow’-
ing ordinance fixing the salary
of the Mayor for the coming
year at $2,500. In making the
reduction from $3,000 to $2,500, Alder
man O’Connor stated it had been done at
the express request of the Mayor. With
the unanimous consent of Council the
ordinance was put upon its passage and
passed.
A petition from the butchers and others
interested in the Market asking that the

Several petitions for permission to

cycles and tricycles in the streets and
squares shall be permitted, and the riding
of bicycles and tricycles of any size in the
park extension. The petition w as referred
to the Committee on Streets and Lanes.
A petition from leading merchants to
abolish the income tax, was referred to
tne Committee on Finance.
The Clerk was authorized to advertise
for an election lor Clerk and Sheriff of
the City Court, to be held at the first regu
lar meeting ol the Council in January.
Alderman Thomas called attention to
the fact that the Council had adopted, at
its last session, a resolution changing the
hour of meeting from 8 o’clock to 7:30,
and the required notice of one week hav
ing been given under the rules of the
Council, he called for a vote. The resolu
tion to change the hour was lost.
THE JAIL QUESTION' DISCUSSED.
Alderman O’Connor moved that the
Council consider the application of the
County Commissioners for the purchase
of the’ new jail site adjoining the police
barracks. The petition was placed before
the board and declared open for discus
sion.
Alderman Hanley believed if the Council
should decide to 6ell the property at all it
should be sold at public outcry and
knocked down to the highest bidder, and
should not lie sold direct to the County
Commissioners or anybody else, without
giving the public an "opportunity to bid
upon it.
Alderman Hamilton believed that a
fatality had hung over the Council ever
since the present board was organized.
It had been struggling with financial
problems, and one thing and another, the
whole ysar. The matter of the jail site
had already been before it, and, by a very
decided vote, had been disposed of. He
believed that decision a final one. Since
it was voted he had heard no argu
ment convincing him that it would be
best to grant the site asked for. The matter
had been fully discussed and voted upon,
and be therefore moved that the petition
lie laid upon the table indefinitely. The
reading of the petition was called for, and
after being read, permission was granted
Hon. W. 1). Harden to address the
Council. Judge Harden reiterated his
argument made several weeks ago in oil
position to the granting of the site, lie
believed, with other citizens, that the city
should have anew jail. The County Com
missioners, he stated, now own a
a place set apart and dedicated
to jail purposes. It was granted the
county without the slightest objection.
Since it was granted the citv had grown
and residences had been built in its vi
cinity and around it, and now those who
owned property in the neighborhood were
anxious to get rid of the objectionable
object. He sympathized with them, but
in getting rid of it tuey had no constitu
tional right to depreciate the property of
other citizens by so doing. He saw no ar
gument in the petition in any way con
vincing him that the change of site would
lie advisable and an at! vantage to the city.
If the jail was to be an ornamental edifice
and a desirable building, and a structure
that people were going a long distance to
see, let it lie built ujion the site of the
present one. The statement that the pro
ceeds of the sale of the present site would
aid materially in erecting anew building,
be considered no argument. The matter
of police protection he looked upon as
no sufficient reason for the change of
site petitioned. The fact that the
jail had tieen for the past hundred
years distant from the police station was
no argument favoring its removal under
its walls now. The police he did not con
sider a garrison and a body of men, in
existence lor the purpose of protecting
the jail. If a change of site was to lie
made let it lie to some unobjectionable
locality. There are lots compris
ing about ten acres west of West
Broad street, where all the necessary
buildings could be erected and every ad
vantage secured without interference
with the privileges or prosperity of any
one. The very fact that the site adjoining
the Police Barracks had been talked of
for jail purposes, had depreciated the
value of property in that locality, and in
view of these facts he considered the
measure a very inadvisable and unjust
one.
After some discussion as to how the
petition should l>e disposed of, Alderman
Hamilton withdrew his motion and Alder
man Wells moved that the property be
sold at public outcry to the highest bid
der. The motion was lost. Alderman
Ilanlev then moved that the petition be
rejected, and the motion prevailed.
The Committee on Dry Culture sub
mitted, in accordance with the request of
Council, a formal lease of Hutchinson’s
Island to W. Barnwell. The matter was
discussed at length, and referred back to
the committee with power to act.
The Council then adjourned.
We refer our readers to the advertise
ment of Messrs. Jno. McLaughlin & Sou

A Drunken Negro’s Death—Two Ne
gro Childron Burned in a Shanty.
Last Saturday night a number ot gen
tlemen, among them Mr. Elisha Graham,
of Baxley, and his brother, Mr. John M .
Graham, of Graham, Ga., went to a 6hop
in Baxley to get oysters. While there a
drunken negro man named Noah 55 il
liains, to whose coat-tail some person had
pinned a scrap of paper, came up and be
gan cursing the party and threatened to
shoot, at the same time making a motion
to draw a weapon on Mr. Elisha Smith.
Mr. John W. Smith at one# knocked Wil
liams down, his pistol falling by
his side. The negro was picked
up by his colored companions and taken
away. In the morning he was discovered
insensible and nearly frozen to death in a
building at D. P. Bland & Co.’s turpen
tine distillery.* Medical aid was sum
moned, but owing to the effects of the cold
weather and the whisky his life could
not be saved, and he died on Sunday night.
On Monday night, while the negroes at Bax
ley were having “a sitting up” over the
body ot Williams, the house of a colored
woman named Ferrebee Murphy caught
fire. The building was destroyed and two
children of the woman were burned to
death. Ferrebee was absent at the “sitting
up” and had left a girl to take care ot the
children aud she also went to see the cer
emonies.

IMPROVEMENTS AT LUDDEN A:
BATES’ MUSIC HOUSE.
Now the Handsomest Store in Savan
nah.
Merchants who are not simply content with
accumulating fortunes, but who spend money
freely in improving and adorning their places
of business, and thus benetiting the business
interests of a city, are fairly entitled to pub
lic notice and commendation, and it is witli
pleasure that we now speak of the business
enterprise and public spirit shown by the
wide-awake and reliable Music House of Lud
den & Bates, which has now the reputation
botli at home and abroad of being the livest
house m the South in any line of business.
Thirteen years ago these gentlemen opened
here in a comparatively small wav, and now
they rank among the few leading Music
Houses of America. Their trade from $50,000
a vear lias crept up towards a half
million, and extends through every
Southern State. With nine large Branch
Houses, located at such important points as
Augusta, Macon, Rome and Columbus, Ga.;
Charlotte and Goldsboro, N. C.; Jacksonville,
Fla.; Meridian, Miss., and Knoxville, Tenn.,
and over One Hundred Important Local
Agencies, they practically control the Music
Trade of the South, and have brought it to
Savannah’s gates. Tiiev are also, at their
Branch House in New York City, manufac
turing Pianos, which are attracting the at
tention of Musicians by their excellence and
Exquisite Tone quality.
The Noted Piano and Organ Makers of the
World have sought this House to represent
and introduce their Instruments South, and
establish with them their Grand Southern
Distributing Depot, from whence the trade
could be supplied at Lowest Factory rates.
Witli these unequaled advantages and
strong backing, the house has built up an en
ormous trade in pianos and organs, and are
now' shipping over 2,000 instruments annually.
We cannot particularize as to their extfcnsi ve
business, but will briefly say that they com
pletely cover every branch of the music trade,
and t heir sales of stieet music, music books,band
instruments, organinas, orgmnettes, violins,
guitars, accordeons, and all kinds of small mu
sical instruments and musical merchandise,
is on the same extensive scale as their piano
and oriran trade.
Conefseiv stated, their house is a complete
Musical Emporium, from which every musical
want can be supplied at the lowest rates
known, and. furthermore, the purchaser will
be dealt with on a fair ami liberal business
basis. “Live and Let Live," “One Equal
Price to All," “10 oz. to the Lb.,” “3 ft. to the
Yard,” "No Misrepresentation,” “Xo Trick
ery," "No Over-Charging,” are business
mottoes of tills house that have been lived up
to since its foundation, and have gained it the
high reputation which is more valuable to
any house than gold and silver.
But we must speak more particularly of the
recent improvements to their
HANDSOME TEMPLE OF MUSIC.
Before they occupied their present double
store, on Congress and Whitaker streets, the
buildings were dilapidated ami generally run
down, bringing but small rental, and regarded
as undesirable business stands. In 1880 ex
tensive changes and repairs were made, which
brought the block back into favor among
businessmen. The two stores were thrown
into one, and some $2,000 was spent in restor
ing and fitting up. The cyclones, sun ami
dust of the past three years partially impaired
the work done, aud "now Messrs. Ludden &
Bates have at their own cost placed the two
large buildings iu complete repair inside and
out, ami made it an ornament to the city.
The entire brick front, of both stores has
been painted and penciled, and the rich iron
front beautifully decorated in black and gold.
The St. Julian street front has also been re
stored. Seven tasteful signs in maroon ami
gold are displayed upon the Congress street
front, and in combination witli the four large
show windows, with curtains handsomely
lettered and filled with Musical Instruments,
the building now presents an imposing appear
ance. These four show windows are indeed
a sight to one who lias music in his make up.
In one standi a magnificent Mason A Hamlin
Parlor Organ, richly carved, and flanked with
smaller Organs. The next is tilled with Ac
cordeons, Guitars, Banjos, Violins, Organinas,
and such small goods. In the third are dis
played monster Double Basses (God Fiddles,
as the profane call them), Violoncellos, and
Drums of all kinds and sizes. In the fourth
repose on couches of black Bilk velvet a
superb set of Nickel-Plated Silver-tone Band
Instruments of twenty-four pieces, aud val
ued at SSOO.
Inside the store the changes made are mar
velous. The floor is laid with noiseless and
pretty Linoleum and the ceilings and walls
decorated with beautiful gilt paper laid in
panels. The wood work, columns and beams
are tastily painted in French gray, with
mouldings and cornices trimmed with blue
and maroon, producingan artistic and charm
ing effect. The staircase, carpeted with Brus
sels, leads to the spacious Piano ami Organ
Rooms, which are also richly papered and
painted. The contractors for the painting of
the building outside and inside, including the
iron front and signs, were Messrs. Bennett A
Moore, who deserve credit for the taste dis
played and the line work.
Perhaps the most pleasing improvement
made is, however, in the office, which has
been enlarged and extended so as to All the
entire end of one store. One-half the space is
neatly carpeted and fitted up as a general
reception office, with sofas, easy chairs,
pictures and singing birds.
Mr J. A. Bates, the General Manager,
has his private desk here, (the one
with a million pigeon holes for which
he advertised), and here are also
the desks of the Manager of the Piano and
Organ Department, and of the General Cor
respondent. Adjoining, and occupying the
remaining space, which is also carpeted, are
the desks of the Cashier aud the four Book
keepers, all within speaking distance of the
Manager. Order and convenience reign here,
and the amount of work daily turned off must
he seen to be appreciated. Call bells, speak
ing tubes, and Dumb Waiters connect with
the Shipping Boom, Wholesale Department,
Piano and Organ Rooms,Tuning and Repairing
Booms, and the Printing Office on third floor.
In fact the office and entire store as well is a
mo4el of neatness and convenience.
Handsome gas lixtures are yet to be placed
in the show windows, and the new incandes
cent electric light introduced throughout the
building. , .
Mr. Bates is always as busy as a bee, and
generally has to talk on the fly; but neverthe
less, he will lie glad to receive pop-calls from
any friends and citizens who desire to inspect
his*cosv surroundings. And while there, the
friends and public generally should not forget
to look through the elegant line of holiday
presents now in stock. Musical people with
money in their pockets will go out penniless
as sure as thev go in there, hut their loss will
he Ludden & "Bates’ gain, and so it will la; all
right, for what they gain benefits us all to
some extent. Success to them aud all liberal
minded merchants of their stamp and pluck.

Dear Sir-. We write to let you know tHat
our building was burned yesterday, and that
the Safe you sold us was in the lire eight or
ten hours, ami preserved every book we had
in splendid condition. The bank bills were
not even scorched. Your Safe certainly stood
a better test than three or four larger Safes of
other makers that wero in the fire.
Yours truly, MOORE & McCRARY.
