THE NEW WATER SUPPLY
THE ARTESIAN WELLS TO BE
STARTED WEDNESDAY.
The System Nearly Complete and
Ready to be Put In Operation-
Changes at the Water Works—A De
fect in the New Machinery Causes a
Delay in Starting—New Wells in Pro
gress.
The water works grounds were almost
overrun with visitors yesterday. Many
people drove otit expecting to see the arte
sian well system in operation.
Sunt. Miller had everything in readiness
Several days ago. The pipes connecting the
chain of wells and running into the pump
ing works ore laid, but a mistake of the
manufactures in casting a part of
the machinery—the “cheek valvesI’— 1 ’ —
100 small, necessitated a delay
lnt.il some alterations could be made. The
sork is now about completed, and the pipes
nd valves connecting with the pumps and
city mains will be put in position to-day and
to-morrow. By to-morrow night, Supt.
Miller says that everything will lie
In readiness, and on Wednesday the artesian
Water will be sent into the city.
At present the supply will be from live
wells, running in a chain south of the works
nd capable of delivering daily 6,500,000
gallons of water. There are two wells yet
incomplete. One, the last of the chain and
the southernmost well, is down 220 feet,
and will probably be finished this week.
The other is east of the north and south
chain and is the first of a chain running east
end west at right angles with that, already
about completed, crossing it and connecting
■with it near well No. 3 just south of the
works. The second incomplete well, and the
seventh in number of those sunk, is down
155 feet and already has a good flow of
1 water. Supt. Miller was about to abandon
t. on Friday on * account of a
lard rwk which was encountered and
which it was almost impossible to penetrate.
The drill was kept at work, however, and
progress was made inch by inch until the
hard stratum was pierced. “ Immediately a
Bow of water started up. and the well prom
fees to be one of the finest of the entire
rhaiu. The water is cold and as clear as
crystal. The well will be sunk lower, in order
to obtain a stronger flow. This will prob
ably be th • last well that will be sunk for
the present. Those already bored have a
capacity of over 8,000,00) gallons
a day. The pipe leading to
the pumps will carry 12,000,000 gallons, but
It is not likely that the city will require so
large a supply for some time yet.
The average depth of the five wells now
complete is a. triflie over 330 feet. Three of
the wells are 10 inches in diameter. The
other two are 6-inch wells. The first of tho
big wells, and the one nearest the works, is
827 feet deep. The second well in 320 feet
deep, and the third is the same depth as the
first. The 6-inch wells are 331 ami 330 feet
fleep.
All that remains to complete the system
and got it in operation is the putting in of
the “check valves,” which will be done to
day and to morrow. These are tho valves
which regulate the supply of water for the
mains. When they are in position it will
require but a few minutes to shut off either
the artesian water or the river water and
allow one or the other to flow into the city
mains.
If thi*irtesian water is not satisfactory it
ran be shut off, and in twenty minutes the
familiar old Savannah will lie turned into
the mains and sent, through the city.
There seems to be very little doubt, of the
rfucceas of the new system, and that, having
gonce used artesian water, nobody will be
■willing to go back to the yellow and muddy
fluid that the city has had to put up with
■or the past 154 Years.
t The Water Works Committee of City
KJounril, of which Alderman Wells is chaiv
■ran, has pushed the artesian system to its
[present advanced stage of completion. A
Bood deal of credit, however, is due to ex-
Alderman S. P. Hamilton, who was chair
man of the \\ ater Committee of the Council
which started the movement. Mr. Hamilton
was a firm believer from the start in the
Success of an artesian well system for Sa
vannah. He urged the matter before Coun
cil, and it was under his direction that
the first well was sunk. Mr.
Wells, of the present Water
Committee,has pushed the work ahead, and
the result of his efforts and of the other
giambers of the committee, and those of
Ir. Hamilton is the securing of a pure
water supply which Savannah has talked of
for so many yeaj-s,and which promises to lie
one of the “blessed improvements of the
new age.”

OVER EIGHTY YEARS OLD.
THE INDEPENDENT PRESBYTERIAN
SUNDAY SCHOOL.
It3 Eighty-third Anniversary Celebra
tion Last Night-The Church Deco
rated with Evergreens and Sweet
Flowers-Superintendent John I.
Stoddard's Report—The Pastor’s Ad
dress.
The Sunday school of the Independent
Presbyterian church celebrated its eighty
third anniversary last night. Especial at
tention had lieen jiaid to the floral decora
tions and the pulpit was a mass of green
red and white. The green was palms and
ivy; the red, roses, and the white, roses and
lilies.
The front of the high old Dutch pulpit
was well nigh concealed by the fragrant
and beautiful blooms arranged in various
pretty designs, and the top of the pulpit
was crowned with a row of foliage plants.
Baskets of eutflowers were pendant from
lights on either side of the pulpit, and a
handsome basket was suspended from the
central chandelier. Each of the massive
pillars was entwined with bamboo vine, pro
ducing a pretty effect. The principal de
sign was a pedestal covered with moss and
cut-roses and surmounted by an exquisite
harp of eutflowers.
The classes entered the church to the
musjp of a processional performed on the
organ. Tho opening hymn was “Open the
Gates. 1 ’ ami was followed by a prayer by
Dr. Bacon. That was succeeded by the
hymn, “Let the Good Angels Come In.”
Dr. Axson read the lesson, after which came
the report of Mr. J. I. Stoddard, Superin
tendent of the school. Mr. Stoddard said :
“In presenting my report on this tho
eigthty-tbird anniversary of our school, I
propose to refer more particularly to the
work of the school for the past year rather
than its present condition. For while the
school is undoubtedly prosperous, the main
cause of that prosperity 1 lay in a great
measure to the activity of the scholars ami
teachers in behalf of others, thereby bring
ing blessings on our own beads. A selfish
and idle school will never be a prosperous
one; but one which devotes much time,
energy and money to those more in need than
itself is sure to be a live and growing school.
During the year since May last, the Sunday
School Aid Society, to which most of the
teachers and scholars belong, has contrib
uted 8400 to the support of Mr. Johnson, our
missionary in China, who also has charge of
tho Axson school in Hang Chau. The total
amount raised by this society during the
year is S6OO. Of this amount $250 has been
turned over to this society for the prosecu
tion of its work, from the regular Sunday
collections of this school. The rest of the
money from the collections has lieen used
to assist, poor Sunday schools in destitute
localities of our own State. With this
money we have since Jan. 1 of last year
supplied seven schools with complete libra
ries and full sets of hymn books, amounting
in the total to 618 volumes, besides quanti
ties of lesson papers, cards, etc., for both
infant and elder departments. These wore
sent to schools in the backwoods desperately
in need, and from the grateful letters wo
have received from them we judge we have
been the means of doing much toward build
ing up these schools. Before the
close of another year we hope
to assist twelve or fifteen other
very jioor schools whose addresses
wo already have, mid we therefore trust
that the Sunday collections will not fall off,
for all the money contributed in this w r ay,
by either teachers, scholars or visitors, is
now devoted to the poor and needy. None
of it is used upon onr own school, our ex
penses being met Viy the trustees of the
church. These ordinary running expenses
have lieen much reduced of late and a
greater reduction is looked for, as much care
is exercised in this quarter.
“Our school was presented witbja library of
294 volumes last fall, under the will of the
late Miss Lawrence, a gift which was greatly
needed. These books are much sought after
by the scholars, and through the Judicious
and strict management of our efficient libra
rian, hut one book has been lost thus .far.
The school now numbers 335 scholars and
teachers, with a very good average attend
ance. We have an excellent corps of zeal
ous and faithful teachers, always in their
places, unless prevented by weighty reasons.
It is, therefore, a comparatively easy task
for the Superintendent to do his part.
“We have heen encouraged during the
year by the conversion of eight scholars,
who have connected themselves with the
visible church, whom we trust, have their
names writted down in the book of life. We
commend them to the guidance and care of
the officers and members of the church.
“While thankful for the present prosperous
condition of the school, we hope and look
and strive for something higher and better.
We look for more seriousness, a greater in
crease of scholars, far better order in school
and stricter discipline, and with the blessing
of Almighty God, with the co-operation of
the scholars and the parents of scholars we
hone for success. ”
The (Superintendent in closing his address
alluded to the fact that but two scholars had
died buring the year. The rest of the pro
gramme consisted of hymns, offerings for
missions and an address by Dr. L. W.
Bacon.

THE INSIDE ROUTE.
Supervising Inspector Pannell Talks
Entertainingly of Steamboats.
Mr. J. K. Pannell, Supervising Inspector
of Steamboat Hulls for this district, might be
called a steamboat specialist. Everything
apjiertaining to navigation by steam has an
attraction for him. He has seen a great
revolution in the appliance of steam to boats,
and talks most entertainingly on the subject.
He has devoted a good deal of study to the
possibilities of an inside route along the
Atlantic coast.
Picking up a pamphlet from a table in his
room at the Pulaski House, Mr. Pannell re
marked yesterday to a Mokntncj News re
porter that probably very few people are
aware of the fact that Robert Fulton was
interested in the same tiling. It was one of
the great inventor’s hobbies, however. In
1813, only five t eal's after he laune.liod his
North River, Fulton published a pamphlet
of thirty or forty pages on the arlvantagas
of establishing communication between New
York and the St. Mary’s river by a system
of steamboats and horses.
It was a second edition of that pamphlet,
published iu 1823, which Mr. Panned took
up from the table. He proceeded
to read bits here and there in it.
to show how familiar Fulton was with the
coast and the inside passages. “I have been
up and down this coast all of my life,” the
inspector remarked, “and it is remarkable
to me to see how much Fulton knew about
it. 1 confess he was better acquainted with
it than I am, and I have lieen up and down
the coast a good many times.” Fulton cal
culated that between Norfolk and Charles
ton it would be necessary to dredge only a
little over seven miles of what he termed
portages. The cost, ho thought, would not
exceed $5,000 a mile, or 835,000 for the
whole job. The expenditure of that money,
he said, would allow steamboats to make
the the trip from Charleston to Norfolk
without going outside at all. \
“That would be considered ridiculously
low now for the construction of one mile of
canal,” Mr. Pannell remarked, adding that
he hail built a canal only fourteen miles iu
length which cost something like a million
and a quarter. It, however, was a steam
canal, the Chesapeake and Albemarle.
Mr. Pannell is a citizen of Norfolk, and
witnessed the naval combat between the
Merrimae and Monitor. He had a small
steamboat, he says, and ran out where he
could get a good view of tho fight,
which was followed by a complete change
in the navies of the world. After the en
counter, in which neither gunboat was de
feated, the Monitor ran around under a
shoal where the Merrimae could not reach
her, being too “long legged.” Mr. Pannell
remarked t hat he could never understand
until recently why the Monitor would not
go out and try another round with the
Confederate ironclad. The Monitor’s officers
were blamed for remaining inactive, but it
seems that her commander was acting under
orders from Washington. The Feck rats
had but the one ironclad,and they knew that
if she should lie unluckily disabled or cap
tured, the Merrimae would steam around to
Washington and play the mischief gener
ally. It was shrewdly concluded theroforo
that the best thing was to keep the Monitor
where she was safe from the Merrimae and
yet in a position where she could not be left
without watching. It was only a short
time ago Mr. Pannell states that lie first
saw the official order.
Charleston Happenings.
United States Commissioner of Education
Dawson visited the Charleston High
schools last week.
Charleston’s colored troops will be in
spected to-day by the Adjutant and Inspec
tor General of South Carolina.
The Germau Fusiliers will celebrate their
one hundredth and twelfth anniversary at
the New Brighton Hotel, Sullivans Island,
to-day.
The people of Charleston and their repre
sentatives are to bo congratulated on the
handsome manner in which they paid the
honor that was due to their distinguished
guests on Calhoun day.
The prizes at the Charleston baby shoxv
were awarded Saturday. It is just perhaps
the least bit remarkable that all those who
were elected were girls, and that nine-tenths
of the v oters were ladies.
Charleston is losing her large tug boats.
■The Cambria was sold to the Savannah Tow
Boat Company a week ago, and now it is

Extensive preparations have lieen made
and are still in order for the annual Schuet
zenfest of the Charleston Schuetzen Gesell

will take place on the first day, Wednesday,
and will be participated in by the Charles
ton Gesellschaft, the Schuetzen Cadets, visit
ing rifle clubs from Savannah, Augusta and
Aiken—all escorting the triumphal car con
taining twenty young Indies. During the
festival the Tumverein will give a gymnastic
exhibition at the park.
Some of the colored people of Charleston
have put anew interpretation on the struc
ture of the Calhoun monument. Mr. Cal
houn is known to have had a manner of
bending the long index linger of his right
hand when engaged in debate, and ho is so
represented in the statue. Some of the ob
servant brothera in black have entirely mis
conceived the meaning of this curvature of
the finger. One of them remarked, after
looking at the monument carefully: ‘You
tink Igo to fie procession? Praise God, no;
not me. F.nt v you see ho got he finger flown
on de cullud people, and he mean for do
white man to keep us down.”

The report lieing quite freely circulated a
great number of people called at their store,
inquiring for the thirteen stamps for tho
above mentioned price, nt the same time
laying down 2c. on the counter and asked
how they were going to make the change,
whereupon they were informed that they

SUNDAY’S BASH BALL.
The Home Club as Usual Scores
Another Defeat.
The home club played its first game With
New Orleans yesterday and was defeated 13
to 1. There is one satisfaction to the
club’s backers, it can get no
lower in the league, no matter how many
games are lost The result of the Mobile
games put Savannah at the bottom of the
list, and from the present outlook there is
no likelihood of any immediate ehange in
position.
Emslie pitched yesterdav and was batted
right and left in every direction. “Jack”
Peltz’ home run seeems to ha ve been about
all there was of interest in the game, so far
as the home club was concerned in it. The
onlv other game played yesterday was at
Mobile. Charleston won there.
The fourth series will, according to the
schedule, begin to-day, and will be played
as follows:
Savannah at New Orleans.
Charleston at Mobile.
Nashville at Memphis.
Knocked Out at New Orleans.
New Orleans, May 1. —The new park’s
seating capacity was fully tested to-day.
Seven thousuwl people saw New Orleans
knock out Savannah. “Jack” Peltz, in cen
tre field, and Brower, at first base, did
about all the playing for the visitors, while
every man on the home team played for all
he was worth. Peltz caught eight flies in
centre and made a home run off the second
ball pitched, putting it over the right field
fence about 300 feet. After that Powell
was on his mettle, and held the Savan
nahs down to six scattering hits. The
base running of the locals was wonderful,
although some of the twenty steals were
by bad throws by Dallas. New Orleans had
no trouble in hitting Emslie, and bunched
seven hits in one inning. Peltz’s home run
was the only chance that Savannah had to
get home. New Orleans has signed Thomp
son, a left-handed batter and fielder of last
year’s Torontos, and “Billy” Forrest, an out
fielder of Eau Claire, Wis. Both are heavy
men and are highly recommended.
The score by mnings was:
New Orleans 1 0 0 0 1 3 1 7 o—l3

Umpire—Tony Suck.
Time—l hour and 45 minutes.
Charleston Wins at Mobile.
Mobile, May 1. —Mobile, blames Umpire
Atkinson partly for its defeat to-day in
calling balls and strikes. The grand stand
united in a grand kick. Nevertheless, the
Palmettoes played a fine game, Lewis strik
ing out 10 men and having 2 assists, to Mo
bile’s pitcher’s 4. Mobile scored only by
bunching hits. Charleston played a fine
game at fflte bat and in the field,' Hines hit
ting 2 three-baggers. Mobile had 2 two-base
hits. The crowd was the largest ever seen
on the grounds, numbering over 2,500
people. The score by innjngs was.

BAKING POWDER.
, PBPBBESSIVE S9BKEBY.
f 1 * In none of the departments of domestic economy has the
progressiveness of the times been more marked than in that
governing the preparation and perfection of our food. People r.o
longer submissively eat without question whatever may come before
them through the agency of inefficient cooks, careless grocers, and
rapacious manufacturers. Not only are cleanliness, purity and
wholesomeness carefully considered, but food is required to ba
prepared from those ingredients that will insure the most sightly
and nutritive, and therefore the most appetizing effects. To this
end cooking schools, taught by professors in the art, have been
established and are liberally supported in our principal cities
while housekeeping and culinary matters are treated by our
principal journals and by numerous magazines devoted exclusively
to the subject in the most interesting and elaborate manner.
To know how to cook and to cook well have become fashionable
accomplishments.
No agency has assisted so much toward perfection in cookery
as the Royal Baking Powder. Perfection in cookery demands
the best methods and the purest and most effective articles to
work with. Cream of tartar and soda, or saleratus and sour milk,
could never be used in the exact proportions required to raise
proper food; hence, when depending upon them, the cook fre
quently found her bread, cake, biscuit or pastry heavy, bitter,
yellow, or with lumps of soda that set the teeth on edge. She
was never sure of an article that was perfect to the taste, much
less one that was pure, for the cream of tartar and soda purchased
at the shops always contained lime and was more or less adulterated
with alum. In the Royal Baking Powder the leavening agencies
exist in proportions that are chemically accurate, so that after
use there is none of the ingredients left in the food. All
its parts are absolutely pure, hence there can be no impurities
or deleterious substances imparted to the finished product. It
is of the highest and alwaj’s exactly the same leavening power, '
and its strength never deteriorates with age; therefore the same
effect is always produced by a given quantity, the lightest food
is insured, and there is never a doubt of its effectiveness, no
matter what its age. When used as directed the Royal Baking
Powder never fails to produce pure, wholesome and palatable
food, while it is more economical than cream of tartar and soda,
sour milk and saleratus, and in all ways superior to yeast.
The Royal Baking Powder is indispensable to progress in
cookery, to comfort and convenience in the culinary work of the
household, and to the production of the most perfect and whole
some bread and pastry.
MEDICAL.
THE universal demand for a Pleasant and
Effective Laxative, Gentle in its Action,
and Truly Beneficial in Effect, led to the pro
duction of the now Famous Liquid Fruit Rem
edy,
SYRUP OF FIGS,
Which has given such general satisfaction that
it has become the most popular family remedy
of the age. It is the most easily taken and the
most pleasantly effective remedy known to cure
Habitual Constipation, Indigestion, etc., and to
cleanse the system when Biliou*r Costive.
