8 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, 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. LAYIOS’H LOST CAUSE. The <Jary Returns a Verdict in Favor of Mr. Schwarz. The suit of A. G. Layton against Emil A. Schwarz for SIO,OOO damages tor ma licious prosecution and false Imprison ment was resumed at theconveningof the City Court yesterday. The taking of testi mony both for the prosecution and defense was concluded on Friday night, and at the opening of the court the argument of counsel was begun. Hon. I*. W. Meldrim spoke for the defense, and 11. C. Cunningham, Esq., an i Henry Me- Alpin, Esq., tor the prosecution. Mr. Meldrim made a complete review of the testimony which was tak?n during the 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. The delivery of Mr. Cunningham’s argument occupied about an hour. The court then took a recess until 4:30 o’clock. The jury was charged by the court ami retired to make a verdict on the first plea, the second plea or count charging raise imprison ment having been w ithdrawn lrom con sideration of the jury. There was considerable speculation as to what the verdict of the jury would be, but all theories upon the subject were speedily removed. An agreement was announced 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.

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.

The flow of water was found to be at the rate of about thirty gallons a minute, issuing from the mouth of a pipe three inches in diameter, and about two feet above the surface. Mary Goddard, sister of Kioise God dard, who was sent to the State Lunatic Asylum at Milledgeville a few days ago, was committed to jail yesterday by the Ordinary, Judge Ferrill, on a warrant charging her with lunacy. The arrest was made by Deputy Sheriff A. Jones Franklin, who found the unfortunate woman at her boarding house on Roberts street. The officer was recognized by Miss Goddard, who said that she first knew him about IK years ago. She seemed pleased with the idea of going to jail, and stated that she had told the people in the house aday or two previous that she did not mean to leave them until an officer took her away. She said she preferred to walk t.o the jail, and on tbe way expressed the wish to be placed in the same room which her sister occupied. SUBURBAN ATTRACTIONS.

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. Actions Speak Louder Than Words.

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: CBATII AMS.

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. — Adv. A. R. Altmayer <fe Cos.
