ST.'JOSEPH’S INFIRMARY.
ONE OF SAVANNAH’S NOBLEST
CHARITIES.
History of the Organization and the
Work It Has Accomplished—The Sis
ters of Mercy and Their Devotion in
the Dark Days of the Epidemic—The
Number of Patients Received and How
Thev Are Treated—Details of Manage
ment.
Among the institutions to which the
residents of Savannah point with consid
erable pride is the St. Joseph’s Infirmary.
The institution was organized in June,
1875, with the Sisters of Mercy in charge,
and is supported by voluntary contribu
tions and pay patients. One of the leading
public contributors in its aid is Chatham
county, which last year donated S6OO.
Its ministrations in behalf of the sick first
attracted the notice of the general public
in 1876, when the city was Visited by the
terrible yellow fever epidemic.
During that distressing period the Sis
ters exhibited the devotion to their call
ing for which they have always been |
commended. They were calm, "patient,
gentle and indefatigable, and never for a
moment ceased their attentions to the fe
ver-stricken sufferers,many of whom were
saved from death when even the attend
ing physicians had abandoned all hope.
NO QUESTIONS AS TO CREED.
Although ostensibly a Catholic institu
tion, the benificent attention of its corps
of skillful nurses is given tojevery sufferer
who seeks admittance within Its wards,
whether he be white or colored, male or
female, Isrealite, Turk, Catholic, Protest
ant or Pagan.
A reporter of the Morning News called
there yesterday and found Sister Eulilia,
the Superior, in the office, which is also
the dispensary, answering the questions
propounded by the Sisters, and busy giv
ing directions relative to the care neces
sary to be given the patients in their
charge. At a desk in one corner of the
room the records of the infirmary are
kept.
AX ARMY OF PATIENTS.
In 1883, 867 persons were admitted into
the infirmary. Of this number but 49
died. During the present vear 132
patients were admitted in January, 119
in February, 106 in March, 94 in April, 40
in May, 63 in June, and 117 in July.
The number of deaths during
that period was 9. One death, that of
Henry Beanies, is reported during the
present month,but this was a fatal case be
fore the subject had entered the institution
and though forming a part of its records,
the demose cannot be attributed to the
lack of attention on the part of the Sisters.
THE OLD MEDICAL COLLEGE.
The infirmary building was formerly
known as the Georgia Medical College,
but after it was taken in charge by the
Sisters, a large amount of money had to
be expended in order to remodel the In
terior of the structure|for the purposes for
which it is now used. This expendi
ture has been a heavy burden,
but when the debt shall have been dis
charged the Sisters will have an oppor
tunity to make many improvements which
they deem necessary to enable them to
place the hospital in the front rank of
the institutions of its kind.
THE HOSPITAL APARTMENTS.
The basement of the structure is divid
ed into kitchen, store rooms and dining
rooms. The appartments are cool, well
lighted and extremely neat and clean.
The first floor is divided into a reception
room and private wards separated by two
large passage ways and leading from the
main eatrance on Taylor street and inter
secting the other and larger hall upon
which the wards open. At one end of the
hall a door communicates with a narrow
hall leading to the marine ward, of which
Dr. Stone is in.charge. The ceilings on
this floor are high and all the apartments
well ventilated and kept in the best of
order.
THE WARDS.
In a smaller ward on this floor the re
porter noticed three or four colored
men. A wide stairway leads to the
floors above, where there is a ward on the
Taylor street side of the structure for
female patients, besides a number of pri
vate wards. On the north side a larger
apartment is used as a ward for males.
The atmosphere of all the rooms was per
fectly free from any unpleasant odor, the
attendants moved noiselessly about, and
every detail of duty was being executed
with system and promptness worthy of
the highest praise.
On the third floor are several wards, the
infirmary chapel and the Sisters’ dormi
tory.

SO ONE TURNED AWAY.
No one, no matter of what denomina
tion, is ever turned away as long as there
is a spare room in the building and bed
for their accommodation. There were
fifty-five patients in the infirmary
yesterday, of this number fifteen are
females. One of the latter being under
treatment in a private ward for insanity.
By using all the available space 150 pa
tients can be accommodated. The num
ber of vacant beds speaks well for the
health of the city, as well as for the
attention of the Sisters, who act under the
advice of Dr. James B. Read, in charge of
the charity ward.
There are but four patients in the ma
rine ward at this time, although during
the fall and winter months this depart
ment is often well filled with seamen.
Important operations are frequently per
formed, and cures are effected which
speak well for the skill of the physicians,
and the care given by the Sisters.
DIED IN THE STREET.
A Stranger’s Death in a Wagon on the
Way to the Hospital.
About 7:30 o’clock Friday night, Henry
Beames, a carriage and house painter,
employed by John T. Murtagh, corner of
Congress and Drayton streets, was going
out Abercorn street, when he was sud
denly prostrated by illness. He was
taken in a wggon in the direction ot the
St. Joseph’s Infirmary and died in the
vehicle about the time it reached its des
tination. The remains were taken in
charge by the Sisters. Coroner Sheftall
was notified and directed that the body
be sent to the morgue, where an inquest
was held yesterday morning, the jury, in
their verdict, attributing death to heart
disease. From the testimony it appears
that the deceased was a native of Toronto,
Canada, where his parent? reside, and
that he was about 40 years of me. He
came to Savannah about six months ago
and obtained employment with Mr. Mur
tagh. He proved to be a steady and in
dustrious man. About a week ago he
complained of feeling unwell and at
tempted to doctor himself. He continued
to feel indisposed, but on Friday was
able to do some work on a house at the
corner of Abercorn and New Houston
streets. Mr. Murtagh stated that he saw
him there shortly before 6 o’clock, and
that, when leaving the building, after 6
o’clock, the deceased took two or three
empty paint pots, with the intention of
leaving them at Mr. Murfagh’s shop.
While walking down Abercorn street he
was attacked by the fatal symptoms and
died before reaching the Infirmary. Mr.
Murtagh knew nothing of his death until
yesterday morning, when he was notified
by the Coroner and went to the Infirmary
and identified the remains. The Coroner
made an examination of the personal ef
fects of the dead man and found letters
which indicated that he had a wife living
at Richmond, Va., and that his parents
were living in Toronto, Canada. The re
mains were incased in a collin by under
taker Goette and interred in Laurel Grove
Cemetery
The Walking Match.
The interest in the coming walking
match, as the time draws near for tbe
close of the entries, is on the increase.
All of the pedestrians in the recent match
will enter, and are in active training now.
The managers are making every arrange
ment lor the comfort of the spectators
and contestants. The contestants will be
known by numbers, each having his num
ber on his breast and back. There will
be a large blackboard on which the record
will be kept, so that it can be seen from
all parts of the hall.
The Oglethorpe*’ Excursion.
The Oglethorpe Social Club, compris
ing members of the Oglethorpe Base Ball
Club, will give an excursion to Tybee and
Warsaw on Thursday, Aug. 14. The ex
cursion promises to be one of the pleasant
est affairs of the season. The proceeds

THROWN FROM A TRESTLE.
A Savannah Traveling Man Injured in
the Macon and Brunswick Disaster at
Fhlnholloway Creek.
Among the passengers injured in the
Phinholloway creek disaster, on .the
Macon and Brunswick Railroad Thursday
morning, was A. B. Solomons, traveling
salesman for Meinhard Bros. & Cos., of
this city. Mr. Solomons received a severe
contusion on the thigh, and was also
severely injured about his neck and head,
but fortunately escaped with no bones
broken. He was brought to the city on
Friday and removed to his home, No. 178
Waldburg 6treet, where he was attended
by Dr. Weichselbaum.
"The accident occurred on a trestle over
Phinholloway creek about 4 miles from
Jesup. The train was made up of a bag
gage and express car, several day coaches
and a sleeper. The cause of the accident
was a broken rail, which derailed the
first-class day coach and sleeper. The
train was running at full speed
and the cars were dragged across
the trestle on the cross ties, and
then rolled down a steep embankment,
landing bottom side up. AU the
passengers were In the day coach. The
sleeper was unoccupied. When it stopped
rolling at the foot of the embankment Mr.
Solomons was jammed among the hat
racks in the top of the car, where he was
penned until released. Six other passen
gers were injured: Capt. John A. Phil
lips, ot Sterling: D. S. Sinclair, of Darien;
Mr. Bonner, of New York, and two ladies.
Mr. Sinclair had his leg broken in two
places near the ankle, Mr. Bonner was
severely bruised about his head, and one
of the young ladies had one finger crushed.
The injured passengers were taken to
Jesup, where they were cared for until
removed to their homes. The track was
cleared of the wreck as quickly as possi
ble.
Mr. Solomons is a large man physically,
and it is probably due to this fact that
his injuries were less severe than they
otherwise would have been.

William Muldoon, the wrestler, made a
small fortune during his wrestling tour.
It is understood that in his match with
Clarence Whistler the receipts were $9,-

aged the match, received $1,600. Muldoon
is greatly improved in appearance, and
has gained much in flesh since he left
New York. He intends arranging a
wrestling match with Joe Acton, and one
with Matsada Sorakichi, to take place in
Madison Square Garden in September,
both of which will create a furor in sport
ing circles.
Australian newspapers, just at hand,
show that the flanlan-Laycock match
was a screaming farce. The affair was
manipulated by a gate-money speculator,
and rowed on an out of the way course
from which the manager could fence out
the non-paying public. Beach, the actual
Australian champion, refused to compete
under such circumstances, and Laycock

THE BLACK FAST.
The Event* Commemorated by Israe
lite* With Mourning and Fasting.
The Fast of Tisha Be-Ab, commonly
known as the Black Fast, kept by Israel
ites throughout the world, has just
closed. The dispersion and subsequent
terrible sufferings of the Jews was begun
by the destruction of the first temple at
Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, who af
terwards carried the Israelites into cap
tivity to Babylon. This was followed by
the destruction of the second temple by
Titus, with the ensuing dispersion of the
devoted race, attended by privations and
persecutions of a horrible nature. These
are the events which were commemo
rated by the Fast of Tisha Be-Ab.
The condition of the Jews to-day ls’very
different from what it was at the period
when this feast was originated. In
America, England, Germany and Italy
the privileges of citizenship are fully
conceded and extended to the Jews, and
it is therefore natural that they should
not entertain the same feelings of grief
for persecutions which they do not ex
perience as their fathers did. But in
countries such as Russia, Poland, Rou
mania, Morocco and Eastern countries
the persecutions are as terrible to-day as
formerly. In those countries on this day
the Jewish people keep the fast rigidly,
mourning and lamenting and praying
that the load may be removed.
“Is not this called the Black Fast?”
asked a reporter of a prominent orthodox
Israelite.
“Yes, in contradistinction to the Fast
of the Atonement, which is the most
solemn fast of the year. That was ordered
by Moses, but the Tisha Be-Ab is not a
Mosaical fast. The name Black Fast was
given, I imagine, by the Germans on ac
count of the general sombre tint of the
dress worn.”
“Does the fast always take place on
July 31?”
“No. It is a movable feast. The Jew
ish months, like the months of all Eastern
nations, are lunar, consequently we are
several days short of the Christian calen
dar at the end of the year. We makeup
up for it by adding a month once in three
years. Tisha Be-Ab generally occurs
towards the end of July or early in August,
but not on the same day. of the
Atonement occurs in Octo
ber!” V
No food of any kind is partaWn of by
those who keep this fast during the twen
four hours from sunset to sunset. In this
country the fastis principally kept by the
orthodox Jews only, others not thinking
that grief and lamentation are any longer
necessary under their present happy cir
cumstances.

FACTS ABOUT HEALTH.
AVERAGE OF THE CITY’S MOR-'
TALITY.
The Death Rate of 1884 Compared With
Former Years—A Decrease Since Last
Year—Excellent Condition of the
Drainage in the Suburb, and the Low
lands—Vigorous Enforcement of Quar
antine Regulations.
The statistics of the Health Department
show that during the past week there
were 24 deaths in the city, including 12
whites and 12 colored. During the month
of July there were 190 deaths, including
36 whites and 64 colored.
In conversation with Health Officer J.
T. McFarland yesterday a Morning
News reporter was given some interest
ing statistics showing the mortality of
the city during the corresponding weeks
of July since 1879. In 1880 there were 8
deaths of whites and 6 colored. In 1881
there were 10 deaths of whites and 19
colored during the same period. In 1882
there were 10 deaths ot whites and 12 col
ored, and in 1883 6 whites and 12 colored.
“How do you regard the general health
of the city ?” asked the reporter.
“It is in an excellent condition. The
drainage of t’e city and its surroundings
has never been better in my recollection.
The lowlands ’east and west of the city
and Hutchinson’s Island are in a more
thoroughly sanitary condition than they
have been for years.”
“How does tbe mortality compare with
former years ?”
“I will give you the figures and you can
see lor yourself. The following data from
the records show the number of deaths of
whites during the months of 1883 aud 1884
up to August compared:
Jan. Feb. Mar. Apr. May. June. July.
1883—50 33 42 31 40 37 41
1584—35 81 30 41 37 41 36
‘•The total for the seven months of 1883,
reckoning the white population of the
city by the census of 1882 at 23,839, was
274. The total for the present year is 251,
a decrease of 22.
“How about the city’s quarantine?”
“The quarantine regulations of the port
are rigidly enforced. There have been a
large number of ships detained, but there
has not been a single case of sickness on
board of any ship during the voyage or
while detained.”

base ball.
A Chapter on the National Game-
Minor Matters.
Correspondence of the Morning Mews.
Atlanta, Aug. 'l.—Base ball has
struck Atlanta a three-base hit. Although
the Athletics have not been organized
ten days they have crossed bats with two
visiting clubs, playing five games and
scoring glorious victories in three of them.
The Athletics are now anxious to meet
the Dixies and Oglethorpes, of Savannah.
The Atlanta club will play the Stars, of
Columbus, Thursday, Friday and Satur
day afternoons of next week, going to
Columbus Wednesday to play the Stars
on their own ground. Base ball has met
a hearty reception in Atlanta. The
games between the Athletics and Browns
were witnessed by from fifteen hundred
to two thousand people.
When the Athletics and Stars met
the audiences were much larger. The
attendance upon each of the three games
ran from 2,500 to 3,000 people. The
grounds belong to the Athletic Associa
tion as long as it remains in existence,
and will cost the club nothing. The prop
erty is located at Peters’ Park, and the
given it to the association
for outdoor sports. The fencing and grand
stand, together with all the grading done,
and other improvements made, have cost
the club about SI,OOO. It has been
determined to make the undertaking a
permanent one. There is much talk here
among base ball enthusiasts favorable to
the formation of a Southern league, em
bracing, say, the States of South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Tennes
see, and other States in this portion of
the Union. Of course it is too late this
season to carry out the programme far
ther than to organize the league and get
ready lor next year. The Browns, of
Chattanooga, which club will bd here
Monday and Tuesday next in all prob
ability, to play games with the
Athletics, strongly favor the sugges
tion of a Southern association,
and the Knoxville club is on the same
line. The Stars, Browns and Clinches are
in for it, and no doubt the Dixies and
Oglethorpes will indorse the plan as soon
as it is suggested to them. The formation
of a Southern Association would give new
life to the tnational game, put better ma
terial in the diamond, and in the end
more money into the treasury of the clubs
that compose the association. Atlanta
intends to take the lead in this matter,
and prominent gentlemen here will, as
soon as possible, issue a call for
a meeting of the representatives
of the best clubs in the States
named, for the purpose of taking such
steps as will secure the success of the
proposed organization. The movements
of the Athletics after their games with
the Stars is yet to be determined upon.
The club was organized to play ball with
all of the leading clubs of the State, and
will, in view of this, either visit all of the
principal cities of Georgia for that pur
pose, or invite the clubs to come here and
tackle them. The people of the “Gate
City” are so enthusiastic over the per
formances of the home club that it is
likely that an excursion train will be run
to Savannah, Augusta and Columbus
when the club goes to any of these cities
to engage in match games.
I hear that a bill has been rendered by
two members of the Arbitration Commit
tee appointed to fix the valuation of the
property located near the City Hall Park,
which Is to be purchased to add to the
grounds upon which the new capitol is to
be built. This bill is for services render
ed. The committee consists of Frank
Rice. George W. Adair and J. R. Wylie.
The Dills of Rice and Adair are S2OO each.
Wylie did not put in a bill for
services, giving as a reason for not
doing so that what he did was
of too little consequence to warrant any
charge. He says that if he had put in a
bill he would have charged not more than
$25. As it was a small matter, he con
cluded it was not worth charging for.
The Commissioners are required to audit
the bills, and have appointed a sub-com
mittee, with Crane chairman, ito report
upon the matter, and decide what the
services rendered are worth. The com
mittee has not yet acted, but it is stated
that they will refuse to pay the sum asked
for, as they consider the bills much larger
than they should be.
Three social events of the matrimonial
order are now booked to occur here at an
early day—one of the contracting parties
being from the ranks of the best circle of
Atlanta society. A remarkable feature
in connection with these events soon to
occur is that in each instance the parties
referred to are widowers and widows.
PUMP WATER AND VAULTS.
Some Reflection* Respecting Font Air.
Editor Morning News : I find that a
needless alarm, in my opinion, has been
disseminated throughout the community
about our pump water, occasioned by the
discussion that took plaoe last Wednes
day night before the City Council, upoh its
invitation, which I think important, in a
measure, to correct.
Now, sir, permit me to say that though
I admit that our pump water has been
contaminated, more or less, by the system
hitherto pursued, of allowing offal and
excrementitious matter to be filtered
down through our porous soil, and there
by getting into the water which supplies
our wells and pumps, yet I think that the
matter has been much exaggerated. Look
at the thousands who have been, and are
even now, daily drinking the pump water.
Has any one yet traced disease or any
epidemic arising from the use of this wa
ter, except, perhaps, in some few ex
ceptional cases where the water was noto
riously bad? If so, I would like to be
informed upon the subject, and have the
particular Instances recorded.
An ex-Alderman said “that he regarded
the Savannah river water as the best and
most healthful water supplied to any city
in the country.” “He regarded the water
the best when it was most muddy and the
yellowest.” Another of the speakers said he
took issue with the doctor as to the health
fulness oLriver water. “His experience in
the course of treatment of sailors had
taught him differently. In steamers ply
ing on the Savannah river he had recom
mended the use of filters, and wbere they
had been introduced there had been a de
crease of 75 per cent, in diseases induced
by the use of the water during the past
two years.”
Again, sir. I was born in Savannah,
and have been drinking pump water
nearly all my life. I am nearly, if not
quite, as ’old as the honorable
ex-Alderman, and 1 have fat
tened upon the pump water, while
he has been drinking yellow river water
filled with swamp mud, young cat and
eels, and perhaps cysticerci. Compare
our respective weights and complexions,
and 1 think that an impartial observer
will say that, while he has been filling
himself, up with muddy river water, the
pump water, with all its nitrogenous
matters, has agreed better with me than
the pea soup colored river water has with
him. I would advise him to mix pelle
tierlne with the river water he drinks to
keep it pure and sweet. Again, sir, I
have been residing on Liberty street, be
tween Bull and Drayton, for nearly
twenty years, and have been drinking the
water from the pump at the intersection
of Bull and Liberty streets all that time,
and so have all the families living on the
block on which I reside. Every one of
these families, I have good rea
son to believe, have been using the wa
ter from this pump, and none of them
nave been made sick by it, as far as my
knowledge extends. Only four deaths have
occurred on this block in that whole
period. One case from yellow fever in
1876, one within a year or so from the
sequela: of diphtheria, and the remaining
two from diseases incident to old age.
My next door neighbor was an old
lady who died at the age of 95
years, and she bad been drink
ing the water from this pump
possibly for over 60 years, filled, as it is
said, with extraneous organic matters.
Is it not time. Mr. Editor, that some of us
should look puny and ghostly if this water
is so bad ?
Now, I do not say that every effort
should not be made by the authorities to
give us water as pure and free from ex
traneous matters as possible, but why
compel the City Council, “by hue and
cry,” to close up the wells and pumps,
and make us drink yellow river water,
which it is not at present in the power of
the Council to have filtered and purified?
Why not have wells dug deeper and reach
a stratum where good wholesome water
may be reached ? Artesian wells if prac
ticable?
Now, as to the privy vaults and sinks: I
am opposed to them, whether cemented
or not, but be it understood 1 prefer them
cemented as at present than as of yore.
1 think an approved system of drawers or
tubs, that of the Rochdale pattern, if
adopted, would be far better.
In the discussion that occurred on the
occasion referred to above, the speakers
seemed to me to lose sight of the fact that
foul air is equally as bad as contaminated
water, and this is the reason that I am
opposed to the present system. Therefore
it was that I recommended a regular sys
tem of deodorization and disinfection, and
thereupon the immediate removal of the
contents of the privy vaults. One of a
family residing corner of President and
Drayton streets told me that he could
not sit on bis back piazza on account of
the offensive condition of a vault in the
yard of the house adjoining.
Olfactory nerves were given to us, not
only to enjoy pleasant odors, but to stand
as sentinels to warn us of offensive and
deleterious emanations which can be con
veyed and infused into the body not only
by mixing with the saliva in the mouth,
and thence swallowed into the stomach,
but by entering into the lungs in respira
tion, getting thence into the blood and
poisoning the whole system. It has even
been said that these emanations may be
absorlied and enter through the pores of
the skin. I have known headache, nausea
and even vomiting produced by the im
pression of hateful smells on the olfactory
nerves.
It was a common occurrence when 1
was a student in Philadelphia to know of
students who frequented the anatomical
rooms suffering irom diarrhoea, and other
intestinal troubles from inhaling the
effluvia emanating Irom the dead bodies
they were dissecting. There is a great
system of nerves within our bodies dis
tinct from those proceeding from the brain
and spinal marrow, now called the
ganglionic system, formerly called
the sympathetic system—more appropri
ately called so, I think, because it is
through this system of nerves that one
part of the body sympathizes with
another, now known as reflex action.
An impression, therefore, made upon
the olfactory nerves of a disagreeable and
deleterious nature is conveyed by these
nerves to other parts of the body and pro
duces unexpected and serious troubles.
Therefore, I say, it is important that these
bad smells should be corrected as far as
is possible. I may be answered
that diffused in the atmosphere the gases
that are so noxious and disagreeable are
dissipated and decomposed, and so ren
dered innocuous. Yery true. In crowded
and confined parts of the city this will
not take place, but they will remain long
enough to produce discomfort, if not
actual disease, among those exposed and
subjected to their influence. Of course I
approve of Savannah river water filtered.
There is none bettor.

MOOD^—DiedTAug. 3,1883, in the fifth year
of her age, of typhoid fever, Maggie Edna,
beloved daughter of Osgood A. and Emily E.
Mood.
One year ago Death severed the tie that
bound her to loving hearts, leaving an aching
void in the home circle which Time can never
fill, or years efface from the memory of those
who mourn her. She was beloved by all who
knew her; the life and joy of her mother, the
pride and comfort of her father, who was call
ed by an All-wise Providence five short
months liefore her.
We have loved the light of many a smile
that has faded from us now, and in our hearts
have lingered sweet voices that are now hush
ed in the silence of death. It is indeed hard
to realize that we can never see that bright
face, or hear that cheerful voice and merry
laugh on earth again, but God, who is wise
and merciful, has seen fit to remove our bud of
promise from this sphere, to be transplanted
to his own beautiful garden.
The bird-like voice, with joyous tones,
Made glad these scenes of sin and strife,
Sings now an everlasting song
Amid the Tree of Life.
Though we mourn our darling here,
VVe know her spirit full of love,
An angel bright and fair.
Dwells in the beautiful land above.
