8 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. SWEET CHARITY’S WORK. The Fruit and Flower Mission’s Season Closed. The Fruit and Flower Mission has dosed its work for this year.

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. Died in China.

' ££ .. *0 •WWfeIORNING NEWS: TIIURSDAS|pNE 2, 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. Local Personal. Mr. J. K. Blackman, Secretary and Treas urer of the Mason Cotton Giu Company of Charleston, S. C., was in town yesterday in the interest of that corporation.

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.

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. - •, ”*•—. *-|r ~ -- At Estlll’s News Depot.

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” The 2,000 Horse Cars Thai pass the famous United States Hotel in Boston, come from and go to every part of "the Hub” and its most elegant suburb's.
