TO GET AT THE TACTS.
CHARGES OF I.,AX QUARANTINE TO
BE INVESTIGATED.
Aiderrnan Reid’s Statement to the
Health Officer and the Sanitary Board
The City Council Orders an Investi
gation of the Management of the
Quarantine Station.
The City Council last night ordered an
ha restigation of the quarantine department.
There have been rumors for some time of a
lax enforcement of the Health Board's
regulations, and that people have been
allowed to visit the quarantine station with
out permission from the Health Officer.
Alderman Reid brought the matter to the
attention of Health Officer McFarland, and
stated that it had been reported to him from
several sources that the quarantine station
is run in the interest of the Tow Boat Com
pany and Paulsen & Cos., but he declined
then to give the source of his information.
AN INVESTIGATION ASKED.
Dr. McFarland laid the matter before the
Sanitary Board, and asked for investiga
tion.
The Sanitary Commission forwarded to
the Clerk of Council a copy of Dr. McFar
land's statemhent in which he said
*Tmt,. the-' reports are a di
i-eot reflection against the integrity
of the executive officer of the quarantine
department, anil coming as t hey do through
an Alderman ot the citv, should be proven
or disproven. In winding up Uis statement
Dr. McFarland savs: “1 respectfully ask,
as a matter of justice to myself, that the
board take immediate steps to force this
report to a court of inquiry. lam not con
tent to let the matter rest where it now is.”
ACTION OF THE SANITARY BOARD.
The Sanitary Board ordered the Mayor to
order an investigation! of the charges, and,
upon motion of Alderrqau Duncan, a f-om
mittee of investigation hvas appointed. The
committee, of \vhich tlie Mayor is chair
man, consists of Aldermen Duncan,
Haines and Nichols. \
Alderman Reid stated (to the Council that
he understands from various sources that
the quarantine regulations are not strictly
enforced, that tug boats have upon several
occasions visited the quarantine grounds,
and that they have been tied up at the
wharves there.
COME AND GO FROM QUARANTINE.
He had also been told that, stevedores are
in the habit of visiting the station, and have
several times boarded vessels while at quar
antine. and that parties come and go from
the island without restraint. He had heard,
he said, that stevedores have taken supplies
to vessels at quarantine. Flagrant violations
of the law like these Alderman Reid felt it his
duty to report at once to the Health Officer,
and he did so. He has the names of the
parties, he stated, from whom he learned
the condition of affairs, and he has sub
mitted them to the Sanitary Board.
The Mayor will at, once begin a thorough
investigation of the charges to get at, if
possible, the true condition of affairs.
THE CITY’S WATER SUPPLY.
■Wells Tells the Council
t About It The Artesian
Inunoi] spent, considerable of its
Ight discussing the Bay street
deal. There was some chaffing when Al
derman Wells was granted a leave of ab
sence, and some of the members wanted the
Alderman to make them a speech.
Haines suggested that the
Hftmcil be told something anout the water
Ripply. Mr. Wells, who is chairman of the
Boater Committee, said that although the
pressure just now is not us strong as it has
Seen, it is stronger than it was a few days
■go, and is improving every day.
|The department, he said, is doing its best
SO furnish the city an ample water supply.
■lt is impracticable, he explained, to keep
up as strong a pressure as was
kept on several months ago for
fear of breaking down the pumping ma
chinery. The capacity of the pumps will be
increased as soon as the new “pump ends”
arrive and can be put in position. The city
will then have a supply of 7.500,000 gallons,
whereas it now has onlv 6,000,000 gallons.:
There was some trouble at Monday night's
fire, but the Alderman said that he believed
the cause of it is pretty well understood.
There was a forty-flve-pbund pressure on at
the water works when the fire started, and
it was increased to over fifty pounds as soon
as the engineer received the report that
a fire was in progress. Alderman Wells has
fuli faith in the artesian well system, and
be says that the. city will have all’ the water
it wants —aud pure water, too—in a very
short time.
Alderman Nichols gave notice that ho
will move at the next meeting an amend
ment of the rules of Council changing the
hour of meeting during July, August and
[September from 8 p. m. to 4 p. mo
The collection of garbage on Sundays was
brought up. At present the scavenger's
wagons do not make their rounds on [Sun
days. On that day there is more garbage
anil decaying vegetable and animal matter
placed in the Ixixes than on any other day.
and with a view to securing a bettor sani
tary condition of the city . the advisability
of collecting the garbage on Sunday s as
well as on week days was discussal. The
matter was left with the Street and Lane
Committee.

THE BAY STREET DEAL.
The City Disposes of the Open Space
Between Bull and Whitaker Streets.
The differences between Wilcox, Gibbs &
Cos. and the executors of the Waldburg es
tate and the city in regard to the property
on Bay street, between Bull and
Whitaker, were virtually settled last
night Some time ago the guano com
pany and Waldburg executors
offered to compromise by pay
ing the city $15,000 for an extension of
the three lots between Bull and Whitaker
street even with the front of the City Ex
change so that they could utilize the unoc
cupied space between Bay street and Fac
tors' walk as a building site.
The matter was referred to the Street and
I jane Committee, which submitted an
adverse report, but offered to accept $25,000.
Last night the owners of the projierty sub
mitted another proposition similar to the
first, but they asked the city to name an
amount less than $25,000 and somewhat
nearer that which they offered to give, stat
ing that they would not give the amount
which the city first asked.
The Street and Lane Committee, after
considering the matter, submitted a report
accepting the terms of the compromise at
$30,000, and the report was adopted with
two dissenting voices, Aldermen Bogart and
Duncan. Col. Garrard, who was present,
mid represented Wilcox, Gibbs & Cos., and
R. G. Erwin, Esq., who represented the
executors of the Waldburg estate, stated in
behalf of the parties they represented that
they would accept the terms
and were ready to meet the
Street and Lane Committee to arrange the
details of the transfer of the property, sub
ject to the approval of the Legislature,
which will lie petitioned at its next session
to sanction the contract.)
THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
New Works Added to the Library-
Changes in the Reading Room.
Several important changes have recently
been made in the arrangement of the
Georgia Historical Society's library. Two
of the great troubles connected with the
public use of the library heretofore have
been the deficiency or light and new books.
Very little fault can l* found in either di
rection now. The lights have been doubled
and the large hall is now beautifully lighted.
And, as for the books, the reader is embar
rassed with riches. The latest works are ar
ranged on a largo table, and the visitor can
not possibly use more than one at a time.
He may be a yachtsman, and he finds the
latest work on yachting, giving all the
famous yacht races, and cuts of all the
famous yachts.
Every popular subject is accessible at
once. The arrangement is altogether supe
rior to what has existed heretofore, and the
officers of the society intend to add other
pew feature* and improvements. The mem
bership is rapidly increasing, and new and
valuable works, the* lack of which has been
Seen for a long time, are being added. The
society intends to have a library soon where
every readable work may be found.
The Mason Cylinder Cotton Gin.
The new process of ginning cotton by the
Mason cylinder as a substitute for the dan
gerous saws, is attracting considerable at
tention among farmers all over the South.
Two sub-companies are manufacturing the
gins for the market this fall: one nt Charles
ton, 8. C., ami the other at Memphis, Tenn.
The gin is sold ns cheaply as any first-class
gin in tlie market , and its peculiar fitness
for ginning the Allen and other long staple
cottons has been fully recognized.

A telegram was received here yesterday

THE KNIGHTS NEW LAWS.
Discussing the Secret Circular and the
New Constitution.
The Knights of Labor in Savannah are
busy discussing the secret circular and
pamphlet containing the revisede onstitution
of the order and the laws governing the for
mation of national trade assemblies which
have been received here. The constitution
is submitted to the local assemblies for their
approval. Some of the changes in it are
supposed to be of the highest importance.
The pamphlet accompanying the circular
contains sixty pages and gives the constitu
tion in full ana the provisions of the law
governing district assemblies.
The most important changes recommended
are those cfe barring rumsellers from mem
bership in the order and prohibiting local
assemblies to hold picnics or gatherings
where liquor is sold; abolishing all of the
ten-minute discussion on labor questions at
assembly meetings, and substituting for
it the rule requiring the holding of a
monthly meeting for the sole discussion of
educational tonics; establishing the rule re
quiring every local assembly to obtain per
mission of the district assembly be
fore it can go on a strike,
and restricting the freedom with
which members have hitherto been allowed
to attack higher officers or members of the
General Executive Board.
The formation of national trade districts
will be permitted as heretofore, but those lo
cal assemblies composed exclusively of one
trade, but attached to a district assembly of
mixed nature, must first obtain permission
of the district assembly. They must then
forward the application to the General Sec
retary, who will lay the matter before all of
the local assemblies of the craft in the coun
try.
The new constitution was drawn up bv a
committee appointed at the Richmond Con
vention in October. It is sent out for ap
proval and will be voted upon by the Savan
nah Knights at their next meeting. Its ap
proval or rejection must be reported to tue
General Secretary not later than June 25.
If on that date the returns from all of the
local assemblies show a majority to be in
favor of its adoption, then an offi
cial proclamation will be made to that
effect, otherwise the old constitution, with
the alterations adopted at the Richmond
convention, will be submitted as the consti
tution of the order. It is not known what
way the Savannah assemblies will vote, but
it is understood that they will favor the
changes which lean toward centralization
in the government of the order.

OX HIS WAY TO AUSTRIA!
MINISTER LAWTON'S DEPARTURE]
FROM SAVANNAH.
A General Handshaking at the Depot—
The General’s Farewell Words-Many
Prominent Citizens Assemble to Say
Good-By—The Escort to the Train—
Mrs. Lawton to Accompany the Gen
eral.
Gen. A. R. Lawton started for Vienna
last night to assume his duties as United
States Minister to Austria Gen. Lawton
has been delayed longer than he expected
by the illness of his daughter, Mrs. Cunning
ham, but on Tuesday the physicians in
formed him that she was out of danger, and
he and Mns. Lawton made hurried prepara
tions for their departure.
The General said yesterday that he will
go from here to Washington, where he will
spend one day in conference with the
officials of the State Department, and he
will then proceed to New York. He will
require two or throe days there to attend to
business matters, and on June Bhe will sail
on the Adriatic, of the White Star Line. He
had intended to sail on the Germanic, which
left yesterday, but the condition of his
daughter would not permit his leaving. He
proposes to spend a few days in Liverpool
ana then go to Vienna, via Paris, Stras
burg and Munich.
OCCUPY THEIR RESIDENCE.
The United States government has no
residences in foreign capitals, and Gen. and
Mrs. Lawton will occupy their own house.
The General was asked if he would take a
private secretary with him aud he. replied
that as a rule "Ministers have no private
secretaries. The government furnishes a
Secretary of the Legation, appointed at the
request of tlie Minister, and in places like
London and Paris, where there are a great
number of Americans, it supplies two, but
that is the only officer the government
recognizes, although clerks are employed
when necessary.
Mr. James Fenner Lee, of Maryland, is
now Secretary Of the Legation at Vienna,
and be will be there for some time. Gen.
Lawton believes that he will be very much
pleased with his new office. He does not
understand that the duties are very onerous,
but if they are it will be a relief from his
present arduous duties. He has been work
ing very hard for the last twenty-two years,
and a complete change for a year or two
will be of great value to him.
A RELIEF FROM LEGAL DUTIES.
He was informed before his departure of
the action of the Central railroad directors,
granting him a leave of absence. The legal
business of the railroad will, he said, be at
tended to by his partners, and there will be
practically no change in the conduct of its
legal affairs.
When the General's sudden- determina
tion to leave last night was learned an effort
was made to arrange a meeting at the Ex
change to say good-by, but the time was so
short that his friends were unable to make
any preparations, so they assembled at the
Charleston and Savannah depot shortly
after the General and Mrs. Lawton arrived,
and Mrs. Lawton was escorted to the car by
a number of ladies who were present, while
the citizens led the General into the dining
room.
CoL John Screven proposed the health of
Gen. Lawton, and it was heartily drank.
The General stepped into the centre of the
circle, and, with a voice trembling with
emotion, he said:
THE GENERAL'S GOOD-BY.
“My friends, we have but. a few minutes to
be together. Permit me to sav that nothing
could be more grateful to me than to know
that thoso I am leaving are my friends, for
after all, there is nothing in this world, no
honor, no profit, like knowing that you
have true and hearty friends, and that" is
what this quiet and spontaueons gathering
means. If I have lea a life among yon
that has made those who have been my
neighbors and who know me, my friends, I
am thankful for it. That I shall do you no
dishonor and that I shall return to you to
live again with you is my earnest hope. My
friends, I bid you good-by with an aching
heart. ”
The time was soon up, and Gh. Lawton
was conducted to liis car, and t hrough the
window he aud Mrs. Law-ton said good
by to thoso who gathered around. The
signal was given for the train to move out,
and three hearty cheers were given for the
General.
TIIREE CHEERS GIVEN.
There was some delay in starting the
train, and when at last it moved away three
cheers were again givou and hats and hand
kerchiefs were waved. The General waved
his farewell from the platform of the rear
car.
Among those at the depot were
Capt. Fred M. Hull, Capt. Henry
Blun, Dr. \V. S. Lawton, Hon. Fleming G.
dußignou, Col. Peter Reilly'. Col. John
Screven, Col. William Rogers, Capt. Robert
Falligant. Hon. Hampton L. Forrill, J. R.
iSaussy, Esq, Luke Carson, George W.
Owens, Esq..('apt. J. K. Clarke, Capt. H. C.
Cunningham, W. R. Leaken, Esq., and others.
Mr. and Mi's. A. R. Lawton, Jr., were with
the General and Mrs. Lawton, and will ac
company them to New York.

Gentlemen who desire a stylish, comforta

neater in appearance and more comfortable
to the foot. No other #3 advertised shoe in
the world has this improvement, nor is any
other made of as good material. But no ex
pense has been or will lx- spared to make
every possible improvement in the manu
facture of this shoe, and those who wear
them testify tliat it is just what it claims to
lie, “the best 13 shoe in the world.”

e of a White Girl and a China
man.
rom the Cincinnati Enquirer.
festcrday afternoon Lot Sing, an
Red Celestial, applied to Marriage
|erk William Guthurdt at the Pro
fc for a marriage license. The ap
plicant, though dressed in the peculiar garb
of his countrymen, spoke fairly good
English. When he made his wants known
the affable clerk was ready to give
him the necessary paper. Asked
his name he stated that he
was Loy Sing, a native of Canton, China,
and his prospective bride, Miss Tillie Ger
stle, a Germ an- American girl born in New
York City. The numerous other applicants
awaiting their turn to lie served had watched
the Celestial with a great deal of curiosity,
but when they heard that the future Mi's.
Sing was a Caucasian, a buzz of astonish
ment and indignation was heard. Sing,
seeing the trouble in the eyes of the by
standers, hurriedly wrote his name to the
register in a good and legible hand, and in a
moment disappeared
CLUTCHING THE PRECIOUS DOCUMENT
in both hands. A reporter, on the alert,
hurried after the Chinaman, who made a
straight break down Main to Fifth street,
thence to Broadway, down that thorough
fare below Second street. When a few
doors below, lie disappeared in No. 40 Broad
way. The reporter eyed the quarters sus
piciously for a time ‘liefore venturing in.
The outside bore the sign, ‘'Sam Wha, Chi
nese Laundry,” and the whole building is
rather repulsive in appearance. Pushing
open the door, a small gong attached above
gave the alarm that a visitor was coming.
A heavy-set lady, with a pronounced Irish
brogue, answered the call. To the inquiry
where Loy Sing and his prospective wife
were she answered that they were not to be
seen.
A little coaxing and a promise to write up
a nice marriage notice, brought out Loy
Sing and Miss Sing to-be. Loy Sing stated
that he had been in this country about six
years, and bad come direct to Cincinnati
and located immediately at his present resi
dence, having bought, out the former pro
prietor, Sam Wha He met Miss Gerstle
two months ago, when she answered his ad
vertisement for help. Bhe has since been in
his employ as a laundress, Loy Sing is
about 23 years old, and
AS UGLY A SPECIMEN
of his race, not famed for beauty, as can be
well imagined. Almond-shaped eyes,
slightly affected by a squint, surmounted by
bushy eyebrows, high cheek bones and the
typical queue encircling a misshapen head,
give bis whole face a ferocious expression.
Miss Gerstle, on the contrary, is prepossess
ing, petite in figure, with features tolerable
regular, and is only 26 years of age. She
addressed the reporter in labored English,
but given to understand that she might con
verse in German she answered in that
language, which she spoke with remarkable
purity. She said she was born in New
York, and that her family was German.
Her father, she stated, was Siegfried Gers
tle, proprietor of “Cafe Wien, a restau
rant on the Bowery, near Houston street;
that she had left the parental roof about six
years ago. For some time she has been liv
ing in Milwaukee, and only arrived here
two months ago, as stated by Loy Sing.
About her courtship she was exceedingly
reticent, merely laughing when interrogated
about it. At this juncture 'Squire George
W. Long arrived to make the couple man
and wife. He was invited into the back
room, which serves as sitting-room, bed
room, kitchen and drying-room.
On the table was a collation, which was
as dainty as might be provided for a bride.
The menu consisted of Wiener wurst, boil
ing hot, pig's-feet, boiled eggs, tea and
coffee, and beer ad libitum. At the word
both were ready, and, after joining hands,
'squire long pronounced the words
which made them man and wife.
At the conclusion Loy Sing fairly beamed
upon his bride, and no sooner were the
words uttered, “Those whom God and
law have joined together let no man put
•sunder,” when Loy caught up Mrs. Sing
and gave her a hearty kiss. Mrs. Catherine
Korn, the woman who met the reporter at
the door, and the reporter acted as wite
nesses.
After the ceremony the strangely-wedded
pair sat down to their marriage feast, which
they seemed to enjoy. Wishing them a
happy honeymoon and a prosperous journey
through life, the reporter left to seek out
other Chinamen and obtain their opinion on
Loy Sing’s action in marrying out of his
race and becoming an apostate to his faith.
The first one accosted was Charley Chong,
who runs a laundry at 58 West Sixth street.
To the first question as to a marriage be
tween a Mongolian and a white woman he
said:
“Me no likee spleak about it. Me no China
man; me Chl-slian allee samee as Meliean
man. Tellee mo who is Chinamun mally
white woman.”
He was given the names of the couple, hut
when he heal'd the name of the bride Charley
fairly
BOUNDED FROM HIS CHAIR.
His eyes, but a moment before almost
closed, opened wide and seemed to start from
their sockets.
“YVhatee you say? Tillie? Tillie is my wife.
Mo mally Tillie in New York.”
After being somewhat quieted down,
Charley told a remarkable story.
He met Miss Oerstle in New York shortly
after he landed in this country. After a
brief courtship he induced her to leave her
home, which at times was very unpleasant,
owing to quarrels with her sisters, of which
she has quite a number. Charley says that
he intended to get a marriage license, but
Miss Gerst.le dissuaded him from it, so they
went to housekeeping without the formality
of a marriage being first performed. lii
the course of time a ooy was V>rn to them,
and Charley then still believing in Confu
cius, the child was named Sing. The child
died, and later on another was bom, this
being a girl. Charley then being a convert
to Christianity, named it Rosa.
After a lengthy residence in New’ York,
they moved to Milwaukee, where Charley
opened a laundry. Business being slow, he
sold out, leaving his wife
IN THE CARE OF A FRIEND,
and came to Cincinnati and began work in
various laundries in this city. One day he
was asked tointerpret for a brother China
man who had lieen arrested for gambling.
This Chinaman proved to lie Loy Sing, the
present husband of Charley's mistress. For
the services he rendered hfm Loy Ring guve
him employment, and when Churley had
enough saved ho started his own laundry
ou Sixth street. YVhile in Toy’s employ
ment, Charley corresponded with Tillie atid
sent her money for her and the child's sup
port.
The unfortunate Chinaman cried pitiously
as he told his story.
“Me no 1 ink tliat Loy would tleat me so
bad. Ate ’long to sarnec Slunday school
on Clinton street, an' Mliss Martin is our
teacher,” said Charley in conclusion. “But
nie gerte* even wither Loy--me carvee him
when me see him.” ,
With this parting threat, Charley re
treated into a side mom, where he was seen
to grasp an opium pipe and throw himself
on his couch.

Sarah. Was Upsot.
From the Detroit Free Press.
Up in the mountains about Marietta, Ga.,
we came across a tall,-barefooted, barelegged
girl, apparently about 20 years old, who
sat on the ground in front of a log cabin,
with her feet in a sand pile, She made no
move to-get pp, and the mother, who came
to the door as we rode up, noticed her and
yelled out:
“Sarah! Sarah!”
“What!” drawled Sarah.
“Wbar’s yer manners?”
“Hain’t got none!”
“Oh. you hain’t. Gentlemen, excuse
me.”
She picked up a limb and started for
Sarah. Sarah jumped up, got a whack on
the back as she dodged a stump, and as she
sailed, over the bush fence in front of the
house the limb took her again with all
proper energy.
“NOj she ain’t got no mannei-s, and that’s
so,” said the mother as she flung down the
weapon and came back to us. “I want her
to chop wood and hoe com and read Shakes
peare, and the old man wants her to trap
and shoot and leam Latin, and betwixt the
hauling and pulling we’ve got her manners
all upsot”
