8 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.” ALFRED SULLY’S VISIT. •The Great Railroad Magnate In the City- Dinner in His Honor. Mr. Alfred Sully, President of the Rich mond and \Ve6t Point Terminal railroad sys tem, which control* the Richmond and Dan rille and the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, arrived from Charleston yesterdnj morning in his elegant private car. He is accompanied by Gen. Fairbanks and Mr. Wumiser. The latter is a win of a New York banker. The party received a call during the day from a nuintier of prominent, rail road men, and at ii o’clock Gron. Alexander, Mr. John C. Calhoun and a small party were dined by Mr. Bully in his sumptuous rolling palace. Last night Mr. Calhoun gave a supper at the Screven House in Mr. Bully's honor. Mr. Calhoun’s other guests were Gen.

Phinizy. of Augusta, direc tors of the Central; Gen. Fairbanks and Mr. Wurmser. The supper was served in a private parlor. The menu was elegant. Two links representing railroad tracks formed the design on the cards. One of these links contained tho initials of tho Richmond and West Point Terminal and the other was entwined about a monogram of the Central’s initials. The number of miles of railroad and steamship lines embraced In the two sys tems whoso Presidents sat at the table are enough to reach almost twice across the continent. Mr. Sully will probably remain over here to-day. after which he will gy to Florida. He says that his visit hero has no Significance from a railroad point of view. RIVER AND HARBOR NEWS.

No damage was done except the burning of a hole in the roof. The Electric Light Company is putting in pipes and pumping machinery to draw its water supply from the river." Supt. Keck says that the artesian water will not do for steam purposes—that it chokes up the boiler flues. Other manufactories are preparing to get along without artesian water for similar reasons. It remains to be seen whether the urtesian water is as satisfactory as it was expected that it would lie. The Ford Dramatic Association is in cor respondence with a number of actors and actresses who want summer engagements. The association expects to open its season about June 10.

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. Local Personal. Miss Cora \'an Tassel and company arrived Inst night.

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 understood that the J. C. Mallonee is to be sold to parties in Wilmington, N. C. Extensive preparations have lieen made and are still in order for the annual Schuet zenfest of the Charleston Schuetzen Gesell schnft, which will take place on Wednes day, Thursday and Friday. The parade 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.” In General Debility, Emaciation, Consumption and Wasting in Children, Scott's Emulsion of Pure Cod Liver Oil with Hynophosphites is a most valuable food and medicine.

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.

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.
