FRANK NISBETT MARRIED SATURDAY Another Surprise Sprung and a Romance of the War. The announcement of the mariage of Frank Nisbet and Miss Helen Gambrell was one of the surprises this morning. It would seem, however, that the news was late getting here, and that the young people have been married since last Satur day. The following clipping from the DeKalb New Era is the first newspaper announce ment of the affair: “Early Saturday morning a gentleman in the uniform of a Georgia volunteer Came out from 'Atlanta and held a short interview -with the ordinary. He then went back to Atlanta and returned about noon with a fair companion and they at once repaired to the home of Rev. J. G. Patton, where they were soon made man* and wife and returned to the city rejoic ing. The young man was Mr. F. A. Nis bet, of Macon, Ga., and is a corporal in one of the companies of the first regiment. The name of his beautiful bride was Miss Helen Gambrell, .but we 'failed to learn where she was from.” The news only reached Colonel and Mrs. R. A. Nisbet, the parents of Mr. Frank ■Nisbet, this morning and was later con firmed by a telephone message from the groom in response to an inquiry from his father. Frank Nisbet is one of the finest young men in Macon. He is popular and a good ■busines man and while still young the future holds good things for him. His bride is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. B. Gambrell, who was formerly the president of Mercer. She is a sister of Mrs. Sidney R. Wiley. ■'Mrs. Frank Nisbet is only a little over seventeen years of age and graduated from Shorter college last week. ST. SIMONS. The Ocean View Hotel is Now Ready for Business.

IS IL THEN, THE SEWERS That Cause tSo Much Sickness in Macon?—Openings Said to be Dangerous. A good deal has been said and written about the present water supply of 'Macon, and many attribute the epidemic of sick ness that now afflicts this city to the character of the water which is being serv ed the people. A great deal of uneasiness has grown out of present conditions anl it is. naturally, a matter that seriously concerns every cit-. Izen, so that some expert opinions hern given will be read with interest by every one. Tn the first place, The News learned to day that Professor J. T. Sellers, professor of chemistry at Mercer University, has just completed a thorough analysis of 'Ma con’s water. He did this merely for the benefit of Mercer University, and ascer tained that the water now being used in this city is actually not unhealthful. The News has been promised the result of this analysis, but, in the meantime, a brief state ment by Professor Sellers is important and interesting. He,states positively that the epidemic of sickness which now afflicts IMacon is not due to her water supply. His analysis, he says, shows that the water now .being used, while not all that could be desired, is comparatively free from all impurities. Tt is muddy, it is true, but mud is not unhealthful, and the most thorough analysis fails to discover any dangerous elements in the water. Professor Sellers declares that the difference between the filtered and unflltered water, as shown by the analysis, is practically nothing so far as regards its purity. He is positive that the water now being used is practi cally as pure as ever and as good as any, except for the discoloration caused by the mud. It is quite as good as is in use in almost any other city. He says Macon will have to look elsewhere for the cause of so much sickness. ause? Along with 'Professor Sellers' opinion, which, is of the greatest value, comes an other opinion from an equally reliable source to the effect that this epidemic of sickness is due to one faulty feature in Macon’s now sewerage system. The News is informed that this opinion is confirmed by othehr experts and others familiar with Ban it ary problems. The trouble, it is said. Is with the sewer openings. "You have doubtless noticed,” said The Informant, "those crooked pipes in the yards of so many homes, projecting out about a foot and 'bending over to the ground. Well, everyone of these is a veri table death trap. It is the opening where the foul gases from the sewers escape. In stead of this opening being at the too of the house, where the foul gases could be carried off by the upper air current, it is (placed right out in the yard under thc noses of the •family. Consequently the poisonous gas that emanates from this opening is constantly breathed by. those in the home, and typhoid fever, or some other illness is the result. “These openings are undoubtedly dan gerous, as most sanitary experts wil testi fy. Ordinarily they are not so much so, but when there is a long drought and the sewers are not frequently and thoroughly flushed, the danger is increased; indeed, as is now the case, it becomes most serious.” Such an opinion from such a source would seem to demand serious attention. It is understood that objection was made to these openings at the time the sewers were built, but they were .ns’sted upon, so 'he contractors put them in. It is also stated that unless they are done away with and the overhead openings substituted the sewers, instead of proving a blessing, and a sanitary improvement, will prove a curse and a constant menace to the health and lives of Macon’t citizens. These assertions may or may not be true, but they at least seem to demand im mediate investigation. Something is un questionably wrong. The people want to know where the trouble lies. Their lives are at stake. They will not be willing to ac cept the opinion of any one man, or of a few men. They will expect a thorough investigation and expert testimony. Have the sewers been badly constructed? Are these openings dangerous? Are the people .breathing poisonous air by day and night? These questions must have a prompt an swer. Not an answer from one of a few city officials or a few private citizens who may happen to think one way or the other; but an answer by experts, by san itary authorities who will know what they are talking about and who will speak fear lessly and impartially. GRIFFUVWATER. It’s Dangerous to Drink Camp Northen Water. Griffin, June I.—'For several days past it has been whispered around Camp Nor then that the water being used for drink ing purposes was unfit for such. It was stated that the water that is used by the men to wash in is filtered through the earth and returns to be used again for the same purpose. From a whisper the report grew until opinions were freely and openly expressed. The result was the posting of the following order by Colonel Lawton yes terday afternoon: Camp Northen, .May 30, 1898 —General order No. 10—The attention of company and battalion commanders is called to the fact that there is danger in drinking the water from the pipes from which the camp is supplied. Commanders of compa nies and battalions will see that all water used for drinking purposes is boiled before use and that the men will not drink any water that has not been boiled. By order of Colonel Lawton. Will S. White, adju tant." From the above order it is evident that the fears entertained by the soldiers were well founded. Sentinels have been placed at the several water hydrants on the camp grounds, and no one is allowed to drink the water until it has been thoroughly boiled. The boys feel much safer as a re sult and feel that their health is being looked after. PASSENGERS AND CREW SAFE. Philadelphia.

MACON ABOVE Ail DIMS As a Point for the Mobilization of His Troops—The Immune as a Novelty in the Camp. The folowing telegram was received this morning by Acting .Mayor Morgan: “Will arrive in 'Macon not later than the sth and will at once commence assembling regiment. (Signed) . Ray, Col.” This telegram is in response to the mes sage sent by Acting Mayor Morgan on last Monday. In that telegram he offered the accommodation to Colonel Ray for his reg iment in “the finest park in the South.” The .'in this morning means that the may.ii i: put on notice to at once com mence the work of putting the buildings in order, and this will be done in ample time to receive the men as they arrive. Major Hugh Gordon, recently appointed to a staff position by the president of the United States, passed through the city last night on his way to his father’s plantation near Reynolds. He has been granted twelve days’ leave pending the taking up his assignment, and will spend the time in arranging his af fairs. Major Gordon said that he was told in Washington just before he left for the South, that Colonel Ray would mobilize his 'immunes in iMacon, and that Colonel Ray had himself told him that he would. In all probability, accept the offer made by this city, though there are other places that are making offers of a similar nature. He says that the regiment that is being formed by Colonel Ray is made up of white men altogether, and that it will be a select organization, made up of the finest picked men who could be secured. 'MajorGordon did not know when the reg iment would be brought together, but he presumed that .it would be as soon as tho companies were ready, and as the. work of getting immunes together takes somewhat longer than ordinary regiments, it may be some time. Companies are being organized by the recruiting officers, who are the officers that expect to get commissions under Col onel RSy, at. different points throughout the South. Savannah will send one company, and it is thought that another will be raised in Atlanta. So far there has 'been nothing done in Macon, but it is more than proba ble that when Colonel Ray reaches here he will be able to pick out a few men who have had the yellow fever and who want to try it again. As a matter of fact the immunes run the same risk as the other men, and the other men run the same risk as the immunes. Regular army men do no attach much im portance to the word immuno, though they admit that the organization made up of physically superior men will be of use to the army of invasion. .Rut all share alike in the danger of yellow fever. The Immunes can take tho disease and they can communicate it. There 'is no safety from the disease. It will come and some men will die of it. Those who are physically best fitted aparently to with stand the disease are often the first to go. If the forces are landed on the island of Cuba now, those who know anything about It, and there are a very few who do not, say that tho risk that is run is not to be measured. It may be that yellow fever may not strike the troops, but the ounces are that it will, and the chances are that it will sweep the whole army. There is great dan ger from such an epidemic among massed troops, and there is no telling where it will stop when it commences. Yellow fever is not a dangerous disease under the modern system of nursing and with the lights of science thrown upon it, but it is a disease that is terrible un less the patient can have the best nursing, and in the field the best nursing cannot be secured. The immune regiment is a new thing and it will be a novelty. The fact that !» man has had the yellow fever once is half the battle, as he is not scared, and to be rid of the scare is half the battle, because even soldiers get scared some times. MRS. NAfTHARRIS DIED THIS MORNING Very Sad News for a Large Circle of Friends in Macon. Mrs. N. E. Harris died this morning at her home on Georgia avenue. While it’has been known that she has been sick for some time past it has not been thought even among the immediate family that she was in any especial danger up to a day or two ago.
