SEEKING NEW SEWERAGE
THU I*LAN Tin: ri'J'Y FBOPOSKS
Ti> ADOPT.
The Defect* of the I'rpsput Inadequate
System Col. Uearc K. Waring Eu
goged In rreiurliu! t’lan* amt Esti
mates- The Probable Cost of it Com
piete Drainage.
The advent of Dot weather is re-awakon-
Jng the interest in the proposed improve
ment of the sewerage system.
The dralnagt? system of Havannah is,
perhaps, as defective as any city of its
size in the country. If it was practicable
to empty the sewerage into the river near
the city an excellent and economical sys
tem could be inaugurated. The con
tamination that would result to the
water, however, prevents the river
being utilized to carry oir
the sewerage. The present system
lias its outlet in liiibo canal near Iho
tracks of the Savannah, Florida and
Western Kilhvav. The canal isopen,
narrow and shallow. .Masses of tilth arc
hourly poured into it. The receding tides '
carry u large part of it to the river, hut •
there is always leit on the edges of the i
stream a deposit. Succeeding years have
increased this until both sides of the canal
are deeply covered with reeking tilth. |
The hot suns of summer cannot but breed
pestilential germs, which the winds dis
eeminate over the city. The stench arising
from the mouth of the sewer poisons the air
until it is almost unbearable. The use of
carbolic acid, soap and other disinfec
tants in houses in the city neutralizes in
a degree the offensive odors. The drain
pipes themselves have the defect* that are
common to all of the old kinds, the chief
detect being the non-prevention of the
formation of sewer gas.
When Col. George E. Waring, the emi
nent sanitary engineer,w as here six weeks
ago, he made a slight inspection
of the present system with a
view to substituting his own system. The
city wanted the best obtainable with the
least expenditure of money. Sluee he
returned home he lias kept up a corre
spondence with City Surveyor Howard,
who has furnished hlin with the levels of
nearly every street corner tn the city.
From the data which he has Coi. Waring
is preparing plans and estimates to be
submitted to the Council’s Committee on
Drainage, of which Alderman W. 15.
ilell is Chairman.
The elevation of the street at the City
Exchange is .‘st feet. This is one of the
highest points. Yumacraw is consider
ably lower.
It is proposed to make the outlet of the
eystsm at Timber Landing creek, 22,000
leet from the mouth of ltplton street
sewer. A fall of one foot is desired in
every thousand. The elevation in some
places will only allow fifteen teet fall.
Three sizes of sewers have been sug
gested by Mr. Waring. One is the same
that he proposed when here, viz.: A
thirty-inch pipe, glazed on the inside,
from the city limits to Timber Landing
creek. This would be large enough to
carry off the house and kitchen drainage,
but the rainfall would have to flow off
over the surface. This would tie the
cheapest, the cost falling within SIIO,OOO.
A main 6 feet in diameter, costing ■
$20,000 more, would carry off all of the
kitchen and house drainage and the rain j
water, except on the occasion of heavy (
storms.
The third Rize proposed is an 8 or 9 j
feet main, which would allow all of the
drainage to puss through. The cost of
this is estimated at $200,000. The inter
mediate size appears to be the best and is
preferred. Col. Waring suggested that
the section lying between Fast Broad and
West Broad and Buy and Gwinnett streets
be drained first. Mr. H >ward lias since
proposed that Bolton street be taken In
and the sewer on that street utilized. The
plans are not near completed yet. but it
Is thought thut mains will be placed under
East Broad. Habersham, Barnard and
West Broad streets. From these smaller
lateral mains will extend east and west
on either side* All of the pipes are to in
crease in size toward the mouth. Thus,
a pipe running along Broughton street
from Bull to Barnard might be 4 inches in
diameter at Buii and Broughton, fi Inches
at the corner of Whitaker, and 8 inches
where it connected with the main iu Bar
nard street.
The purpose is to lyovido a
pipe just large enough to
convey the sewage. When the pipes are
kept full the formation of gas is pre
vented aud dirt is not so apt to harden
and accumulate, it is designed to place an ]
automatic flush tank at the head ot each
street. These are so arranged that when
they have received a certuin amount the
weight causes them to overturn and i
dump the contents into the main. These
tanks cost. $K or $lO each. Memphis is
drained t>v this system, and it is very
satistactory. The height of the water in
the river opposite that city varies so that \
two outlets are necessary. One at a dis
tance from the city is used ordinarily, tmt
during floods the sewage flows out much
hearer the town.
A great advantage in making Timlrer ,
Landing creek the receptacle is that it is
tide water stream. The salt water acts j
on tlie tilth as a disinfectant and deodor- i
izer.
All of the physicians urge that the in- |
au 'uration of the new. system be facili
tated as much as possible. The health
authorities say that there are 4,000 water j
ch sets in Savannah ilia' have no outlet, j
The health of the citizens demands that,
these be denned.tilled up, and the same or
otic rs be connected with the sewers.

Charlton Street - * Sanguinary A Bray—
Hon- file Difficulty Arose.
Charlton street, between Tattnall and
Jefferson, was tbt; scene of a lively atfrav
early yesterday morning between Win.
Bouhan, a well known sporting man, and
M.att O’Connfill, a contractor and builder.
The affray grew out of a diffi
culty which arose between the two
men a day or two ago. One of O’Con
neU’s employes wns a tenant of B'uiiiun’w.
with whom be became Involved in u suit
growing out of a dispnseaslon of hi*
bouse. O’Connell took an interest
in In,-half of his employe and
rendered him some assistance.
Farly yesterday morning Bouhau went
to where O’Connell was at work, on
Chari ion street, and In n few minutes be
came involved in a wordy dispute as to
O’Connell’s right to interfere In his em
ploye’s tie half. O’Connell claims that
Bouhan used opprobrious and abusive
epithets, and that be drew a pis
tol and threatened to shoot him.
The quarrel linAlly subsided, and Bouhan
got into his buggy and started to drive off.
Before h got out of the wav further
words passed between the two men. and
O’Con mil, stepping up, jumped upon the
side of kite buggy amt seized Bouhan. in
the Htruggle the horse become
frightened and dashed into a
run. Jioth men were thrown
out on the sidewalk. Bouhan, it was
claimed, again attempted to draw iis
pistol, tut being the smaller man and
unable to cope with O’Connell, was pre
vented from doing so. The two men en
gaged in hand-to-hand set to. O’Connell
being m.ych the larger of the two,
pounded hni assailant severely, inflicting
a number of deep gashes on his lace and
skull, claimed to have been made with a
knife, in the struggle begot possession
of the pistol and kept it.
The men were finally separated, and
Bouhan was taken to a store near by. where
his wounds were dressed temporarily.
He was aiturwards taken to his home.
Although not pronounced necessarily fa
tal, his injuries are of a serious nature.
O’Connell went before Magistrate Molina
and swore out warrants for lfouhan’s ar
rest, but owing to bis condition and the
fact that he was unable to appear in
court, they had not been served up to
last night.

first day of the trial, and cabled the atten
tfou of the jury to the transactions
of the prosecutor while he
was canvassing lor bu si mss us
an advertising agent. The tiistorv of the
circumstances which culminated in the
arrest of Layton on the charge of cheat
ing and swindling, together with bis
movements in the case against
Air. Schwarz, were freely commented
upon in a way which commanded
the undivided attention ot the jury, and
deeply impressed all who heard the argu
ment a* being one of the abtost that has
been delivered in the court for some time.
Capt. Cunningham and Mr. Mo Alpin fol
lowed in liehalt ol the prosecution.

in a lew minutes, the verdict being in
favor ol the defendant.
AN AFTERNOON BLAZE.
"The Department Summoned by a Pri
vate Dull.
A slight fire occurred at sp. m. yester
day in the brick duelling No. 171 York
street, occupied by Mr. Edward Gleason.
No. 2 Engine Company was summoned by
a tnesseuger. Before they arrived Mr.
John Connolly, a member of Nj. i, tot
tered the room from which the smoke was
issuing and began culling the flooring
away. No alarm was turned in, and the
fire, which was iu the wall, was soon ex
tinguished. The loss is about sls; in
sured. Thu building is owned by George
lmiter.
This is the fourth or fifth tire to which
the department bus been summoned by
messenger within a week. Although no
serious loss has occurred through the
necessary delay, each ot these lire* has
illustrated the need of giving the fire de

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JUNE 7, 1885.
IN .fait FOR MVBUXIt
.V Coffee County Negro Brought. from
Florida on a ISei| ill sit Inn.
Among the prisoners In the jail is a tall,
broad-shouldered, copper-colored negro
naintd Ike Watson, who was brought
hern from Green Cove Springs, Fla., by
Sheriff Black, of Clay county, on a
requisition from Gov. McDaniel charging
bint with murder. Accompanying the
ri qtiisition was an order from Judge Mer
hliou, of the Brunswick Circuit, directing
that inasmuch as the jail in Coffee
county, where the murder is said to
have been committed, was insecure that,
prisoner be brought to Savannah tor sate
keeping, lie was lodged in the jail on
Friday night by the Sheriff and Officer
Hanford, both of Green Cove Spring*.
Ho was iottnd yesterday in cell No. 15.
When the prison door was opened and the
negro walked out into the corridor with a
nig chunk ot bread in hi* hand and lean
ing against the wall alongside of the
guard, he said:
‘•I don’t know why they picked me up
lor t: murder that, they said was done in
Coffee (•utility, when I never seed the
(• unity and never was in it in iny life, un
less it was because they wanted to arrest
somebody and had to have someone.”
“liovv long were you in Florida,” asked
the News reporter.
“Seven years. I hadn't been to Georgia
in ell that time.”
“Where were you born?”
••I was born on Col. Femll’s place, near
Griffin, and refugeed with my folks down
lo Albany when the Yankees were cornin’.
I worked around Albany, and at No. 10%,
on the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway, until 1 went, to Florida.”
“How old are you?”
“I’m about 24 years old. Sly mother is
living. My father is dead. I have no
brother or sister.”
“You are sure you were never in Coffee
county ?”
“1 don’t know where the county is and
I've never been through there unless when
I was. perhaps, going through on the rail
road.”
“What were you doing at Green Cove
Springs?”
“I was there to court. 1 was charged
with having concealed some goods and
was sentenced to serve sixty days. Then
they came and took me. I suppose they
hoard my - name was Ike Watson, and then
they had tqe arrested in place of some
other man.”
The prisoner is rather a good looking
negro. He has prominent anrl strongly
marked features, and was quite civil in
manner and prompt in answering any
questions he was asked. The Superior
Court of Coffee county will convene on
the first Tuesday iu November, when
Watson will be tried.
NABBED .JUST IN TIME.
A Charleston Negro Olrl Raids a Farm
House.
A few days ago a young ginger-colored
negro girl named Hattie Haynes applied
to Wm. Drayton, an industrious colored
man who has a farm on the Middle
Ground road, about three miles from the
city, for work. She stated that she was a
good field hand and would rather work on
a farm than have a service place in the
city. On Friday morning Drayton and
his laruily noticed that the girl was
a long time leaving the house to
follow them into the field, ami
returned to see where she was. He found
the place deserted, one trunk broken open
and another rifled of its contents, con
sisting partly of S2O in silver and a num
ber of receipts and ether papers. He
quickly took steps to apprehend the thief,
and met a ntan who told him that he hail
seen the woman coming towards the city.
A warrant was issued by Magistrate
James T. Buckner and placed in
the hand* of an officer. The police
at the railway depots were requested to
keep a lookout for the woman, and yester
day she was arrested at the Charleston
ami Savannah Railway depot in the act
ot boarding the train by Sergt. Leonard.
She was committed to jail on a warrant
charging her with simple larceny. She
hud in her possession a portion of the
money she had stolen and also a. pair of
new shoes, a quantity ot new dress ma
terial and two or three bottles of cologne.
The girl was originally from Charleston,
and it is surmised that she was about,
when arrested, to return to that city,
where she could cut a dash for a time
with the proceeds of the raid.

SUBURBAN ATTRACTIONS.
The City and Suburban Railway’s New
Schedule to Montgomery.
The City andSuburban Railway willrun
a special schedule to Montgomery and
Isle of Hope to-day, leaving the city at
10:25 a. tn. and 3 and 3:25 p. nt., and Isle
of Hope to return at 1:30 and 7 p. til., and
Montgomery at 1, 7 and 8:30 p. m., arriv
ing at tile city at 2, 7:40 and 9:10 p. in.
The 3 o’clock train will run direct to
.Montgomery.
on Tuesday there will be music at
Battery Park, and on every Tues
day and Friday afternoon and evening
thereafter during the summer. Tne man
agement of the road has refitted the pavil
ion, and ice cream, soda water,
lemonade, etc., will be furnished
by a popular caterer. Lutz’ band
troin tbe Bellevue Hotel will furnish
the music. The place will be kept under
the best of order. No objectionable
visitors will be allowed and special police
will be on the grounds all the time. No
liquors of any kind will be sold. The
numbers of people who desire to visit the
park will tie able to do so without the
slightest fear of meeting those with whom
they would not be wllling to meet at any
popular resort.
A new schedule will go into effect on
too outside linn on Wednesday, t>v which
a through fast train will lie run direct to
Montgomery, leaving the city at sp. in.
and returning about 8, giving two hours
on the salts at the most convenient
time of the day. The fare for this
train will be 25 cents for the round trip.
This arrangement will doubtless attract
to Montgomery a large number of people,
the hours at which the train is run giving
ample time at the Bellevue Hotel for
supper and for a stroll through the
grounds, and returning early in the
evening. Thu road is receiving a large
patronage, and the Bellevue Hotel, under
Mr. Lutz’ management, is exceedingly
popular.

CHATUAMS WIN THE DAY'.
The Macon Volunteers Defeated by a
Score ol 1 1 to li.
The largest crowd ot the season, with
ne exception, witnessed the defeat, of the
Macon Volunteers by the Chatham Ar
tillery base ball nine ut the
Park yesterday. The interest
wliieh has attended the professional
games seemed to have been transferred
entirely to file military. The defeat 01
the visitors by so sweeping a score was
not generally looked for! Their record in
games already played this season placed
them well up in tbe rank of amateur
players.
Tim game was called at 4 o’clock, with
the Chatham.* at the bat. and ended at
5:15. The score at the last, inning stood
11 to (5 in favor of the home nine. Up n
the nintu inning the visitors were sunt
(jut without a run. Two men
were struck out at the beginning of tin
inning and everything looked a* though
it, would be a shut out for the ent ire game.
Cann, the Chatbams’ pitcher, being dis
abled ami unable to throw effectively,
the Volunteers baited him for six runs
and saved themselves from a blank game.
The following is the score:

“Aid the Orphans.’’
This is a well selected motto under
which to work in behalf of a charity so
deserving as that of fit. Joseph’s orphan

not susceptible to the claims of
lltile helpless children, coat upon the
win Id’s charities, when they are brought
face to face with them. When this
()tpiiiip:i e was in Suvurtnnli. it. was
so prominently before the community
that there was little iron Mo to awaken
interest ill tbiwr behalf, but since

From the repmJ ot Fall er O’Brien,
published in another column, it will
be seen that, us ho savs, “it is
not so easy to supiMirt them.”
A tmroapite expenditure of only ssl 15
lor u year's siipi on of the innmies ol tlie
orphanage, including ton grown persons,
is a remarkable showing; and no one
knows how much of care, nuxiuty and
weariness Is entailed upon the manager.

Facts
Worth considering and worthy of exami
nation by all who have any regards to
saving money. People will buy where
they can get the best goods for the least
money. It is human nature to do so.
Sharp buyers are always on the alert,
and once captured the masses soon
follow. The immense throng which con
tinually crowded our store the past week
was evidence of this fact. Tne unusual
opportunity ior a saving almost one-half
of the purchaser’s money, which the taou se
of A. R. Altmayer & Cos. are now offering,
is apparent to every thinning mind. The
reason why we can save you so much
money is that in a few months we will
remove to the building now in course of
erection on corner Broughton and Bull
streets. It will be to our advantage to
move as little of our stock as possible.
Having this in view, and knowing the
only way to reduce the enormous stock
which our house carries will be to make
prices so low that you will buy at once,
even it you have no immediate use for the
goods. This is food for thought. Do you
intend purchasing anything in the milli
nery line? If so, buy now. No finer
assortment, no stock more carefully
selected, no richer or more elegant styles,
combined with the most artistic work
manship, ever shown in the South. Prices
would not convey to you how cheap goods
are really sold. Goods have no value with
us, the only question we consider is how
fast we can reduce our stock. White and
Black Plumes at less than one-fourth
value. They are such as we used to sell
at three times the prices we are offering
them now. We are certainly going to
sell them for one-third less than our
former price. Why such a fall? This is
what is called a flower season, and plumes
are at a discount. We purchased these
plumes from an importer at a sacrifice,
intending to put them aside until next
season, when they will tie in style again.
Now we are going to move, and we are
going to move the plumes if low prices
will do so. All sorts of lace caps, two or
three hundred styles, for half value—all
new and perfect. We still have Kid
Gloves (something unusual at this season
of the year), all shades and styles, at less
price tlityi we could import" them. Do
not fail to visit our store this week. We
shall sell at low prices, and low prices
with us mean something. Every thing in
our entire establishment ut less than cost
ot' production. We count ourselves suffi
ciently repaid for our trouble and the
use of our capital by the opportunity
afforded us by closing out our stock and
thereby be able to furnish our new place
with an entirely new line.
Ten minutes spent iu our store will be a
better argument In our favor than any we
could write. Store closes at 6:.10. Ladles
will consult their owu interest by shop
ping during the morning, when we will
be able t.o give them more attention.
