None of the other candidates showed up.
Mr. Adams will be sworn tn at the next
meeting.
THE BROUGHTON STREET FIRE.
The joint Committee on Water and Firo
submitted a report in regard to the Brough
ton street lire last night which was adopted.
The report reads:
The joint Committee on Water and Fire, to
whom was referred the communication of the
Board of Fire Underwriters relative to the re
cent fire in Lovell's buildings on Broughton
street, hog leave to report that thov have ox
• omined the principal employes of the city, hot li
in the water and are departments, who were on
duty the night of the fire, and upon information
obtained from this source the committee are of
the opinion that the disastrous conflagration
was not the result of an insufficient supply of
water. Upon thorough investigation the com
mittee find that the supply of water was then
and is now ample. From the evidence given by
firemen who went on duty in Un- building
on fire the committee are of the opinion that,
the fire would have been confined to the build
iug in which it stsvtcd but for an unaccountable
explosion which occurred on the third floor,
stunning ami throwing fly- firemen from their
positions in the, burning building when they had
the fire under control and thus jiermitUng it to
extend to the adjoining building.
turners’ jiall unsafe.
An official report by the Chief Fireman
In regard to the condition of Turners’ Hall
was brought to light through a communi
cation front the occupants of adjoining
property asking that if the hall is un
safe steps be taken to protect them from
an v loss taat may result should the walls fall.
Alderman Bogart asked if any official
report had been received in regard to the
hall. The Mayor replied that the Chief
Fireman bad reported the west
Wall bulged out of line and danger
ous to adjoining property.
After some del >ate the matter was re
ferred to the joint, committee on Streets
and Lanes and Fire Tor .investigation.
the Land quarantine.
The Health and Cemptery Committee
submitted the following report in regard to
sanitary measures:
The resolutions of the Board of Sanitary Com
missioners, which have been referred to the
Committee on Health and Cemetery, with pow er
to act, which resolutions recommend, first:
“That aninspecting officer be appointed, whose
duty it shall l>e to act co operatively with the
authorities of tbe Savannah, Florida and West
ern Railway, and board all trains coming to
Savannah from the State of Florida, at such
point along the line of travel as may be deter
mined upon, and prevent the coming into the
city of persons lately from localities infected
and suspected of having yellow fever; and
second, the personal inspection of the character
and mode of enforcement of precautionary
measures, at Jacksonville and Tampa es
pecially and at other sections of
Florida,' are herewith respectfully re
turned to the honorable tbe City Council.
The committee respectfully report tiiat in their
judgment the objects provided for in the first
resolution will necessitate a useless expense, as
aneh service could only at best be very imper
fectly and unsatisfactorily performed, and
therefore would not afford the protection de
sired. The. object* of the second resolution
having already been accomplished, and an in
spection having already been made, renders it
unnecessary for the committee to recommend
any further action to the City Council.
The report was adopted without debate.
ALDERMAN DUNCAN'S ORDINANCE DE
' V.'' , KEATED.
Alderman Duncan’s ordinance prohibiting
tile upturning of the soil on private property
between June 1 and Nov. 1, except by per
mission of the Sanitary Board, came tip on
its second loading, a:ul after a lengthy de
bate was defeated. Tite vote stood fi to 4.
Aidet an Thomas objected to the ordi
nance Bn account of its sweeping provisions.
Tine" years ago, he said, he introduced the
}itf->-nt ordinance prohibiting the upturning
of tlie soil in the streets during the summer.
If he had known then tite effect of its en
forcement he would not have introduced it.
lie spok£ reluctantly, he said, against any
measures seeking to promote the public
health, but he is of the opinion that the pro
po- si measure, if it is put into execution,
wiR .; irk serious injury to tho city’s in
teiv -
Alderman Duncan urged the passage of
the ordinance solely as a health measure.
The ordinance, lie said, was framed so that
■ all wwr’r requiring tlie upturning of tlie soil
sfioul > bo under the supervision of the
Health Hoard. Tlie disturbing of the soil
and its exposure during tue summer,
especially in the old parts of the city, he
stated, cannot but produce sickness.' and
only in tlio must urgent caaea, he claimed,
should it lie allowed.
Alderman Thomas referred to the laws

ing tlie s.iij in summer. In Jacksonville
illd Charleston, be said, it may be per
mitted by the Ilealth Hoard at any time..

Mv Dear Friends—At the moment of leaving
the dock in New York, rarly in the morning of
June 8,1 discovered in tbe saloon of this good
ship the beautiful floral recognition of my ex
pected departure for a foreign land, -which your
thoughtful kindness had prepared formysur
prise. Not one of the friendly donors being
present, and the ship In the net of sailing, 1 had
no opportunity to respond as my heart
prompted, nor to acknowledge in any manner
whatever. Now that land Is once more insight.,
I avail myself of the first homeward-bound post
across tho ocean to send you this note of thanks
from the depths of a grateful heart.
How muon was expressed in the floral inscrip
tion on this exquisite pillow of flowers! “Ron
voyage: Bon Sejour: Bon Jtetmir: Savannah
Vienna." It is truly the concentrated prayer
of friendship for a deporting traveler, suggest
ing the great distance to be compassed, and the
new interest just now attached to the relations
sustained by two places so far separated
Indeed, no other words could express so much,
and nothing more remained to be expressed.
With the beau’.till coast of Ireland in full view,
and still enjoying the pleasant incidents of this
voyage, 1 am reminded tiiat the first good wish
of my friends is already accomplished, and
gives earnest of the full accomplishment of the
other two all in g>>od season.
Whatever pleasure or profit, or discharge of
duty, may result from my sojourn in Vienna, I
beg to assure each one of you that my constant
hopes and most earnest expectations will tw
ever fix'd upon the day of my retm'n to Savan
nah and to the association with friends re
kindly and so tastefully represented by this
floral tribute.
Permit mo to add, that this pillow of flowers
was a most, attractive ornament of the steam

gers, With renewed thanks, [am your sincere
friend, A. R. Lawton.

ligaut to consider plans for remodeling the
Georgia Military Academy so as to
fit it for occupancy as the regiment’s

once,' and bids have already been invited.
To defray the exjieiises of the improve
ments the regiment will give a fair some
time next winter.
THE FORD3 SECOND NIGHT.
■‘Dora” as Great a Success as It was
the First Night.
The Fords repeated their double bill to a
large and appreciative audience last night,
and the fn\4n with whieli it was received
indicated that the association is growing in
popularity all the time. Both the drama
and farce were ably and artistically set
and seeing them twice tended to heighten
rather than diminish the pleasure. Mr.
McCabe’s “Farmer Allen’’ was warmly re
’•eived and applauded, ami Mr. Lawrence
Hanley as “V itliain Allen” lacked not his
line appreciation.
Tbo applause that was showered
upon Miss Clara Baker was evi
dence enough of the hold she
has taken upon the .Savannah theatre-goer,.
All of the characters were well cast, anil
“Dora” was put down its another oi tho
Fi inis' successes. In the farce that followed,
“The Youth Who Never Saw a Woman,’
Miss Maud White as the Youth, was inoro
than excellent, and was duly appreciated.
The audience was laughing' from the time
tlie farce liegan until the curtain fell.
On July 8 “The Pink Dominoes” will be
given for the benefit of the Episcopal
Orphan's Homo. This play is repeated by
special request, und the rapid sale of tickets
indicates that those who made the request
mode a happy selection.

THE PRINCESS LOUISE.
Some Points About Her Visit to
Charleston.
St MTERVii.LF, Fla., June M -Editor
Morning Kens: Kindly answer the follow
ing in your daily:
When did the Princess Louise and party
visit Charleston, S. C, who composed same,
how long did they remain there and what
was the object of their visit I
A friend insists that they were never in
the South, and I think they were.
A Subscriber.
Subscriber is right. The Princess Louise
has been in the South. It was about 8
o'clock on the evening of Jan. ID (Friday),
1883, that the special Pullman palace car
bearing the royal pilgrims was hauled into
the Northeastern railroad depot. The
Princess and her party came from Rich
mond, Va., where they had tarried for a
day, and had been expected to reach Charles
ton at 4 p. m. via the Coast Line. There
was some delay, however, and the
royal train did not reach the city
until alxmt 8 p. m. It was, meteo
rologically speaking, one of Charleston's
worst days—cold, rainy, drizzly, foggy,
frosty. Nevertheless the crowd that bad
assembled at the depot and the crowd that
had assembled at the Charleston Hotel
waited for a glimpse of royalty. Her
British Majesty’s Consul, attired in silver
braided dress coat and cocked hat, waited
patiently, and so did a squad of Charleston's
"finest” (all Irishmen, by the way), who
were detailed to keep the black rabble off
from royalty. Everybody, however, was
rewarded. The royal party arrived at
length, jttmped into a train of carriages,
and were soon in their quarters at the
Charleston Hotel. The party was composed
of the following persons, who were registered
on the hotel b<>oks in the order named hv
Mr. -Toceline Bagot, a member of the staff
of the Marouis of Lome:
His Excellency the Marquis of Lome.
Her Royal Highness the Princess Louise.
Miss Hervey.
Miss McNeill.
Col. DeWinton.
Col. Tourtelotte. U. S. A.
Capt. Hon. W. Bagot. #
Mr. .Toceline Bagot.
Dr. Burnett.
The Royal Pilgrims were on their way
from Canada, of which the Marquis was
then the Cover nor, to Bermuda, where the
Princess was to spend some time.
Four or live days previous to their arrival
here, H. M. S. Dido, a corvette of twelve
guns, had arrived here to take the party to
Bermuda. The Princess and her party
remained in Charleston from Friday, Jan.
19, until Wednesday, Jan. 2-*. o ( the even
ing of which day sheembar. m on the Dido
and sailed for Bermuda the next morning.
During her stay the Princess received Mayor
Courtenay and Cant, F. IV. Dawson, of
the News and Courier. The embarkation
was a gala event in Charleston. It took
Dlace about sp. m. A landing had been
built leading from South battery to the
channel. This was carpeted and terminated
in a pavilion male of English and Ameri
can flags gracefully entwined. The whole
thing was arranged by the municipal
authorities. The German Artillery was
drawn up at White Pond Garden and as the
royal party arrived fired a salute. The
boats of the Dido received the royal pilgrims
and conveyed them to the Dido, which was
anchored in the stream. The arrival of the
Princess on board the Dido was greeted with
a royal salute and her royal highness was
formally received on the quarter-deck
by the royal marines arid remain
ed there while the salute was
firing. After the salute the Princess joined
her husband, the Marquis, in the royal
apartments, and the ceremonies were ended.
The Marquis of Lome and his staff returned
to the city about 10 p. m., and took the
midnight north-lxuind train and returned to
Canada. The Princess and her suite sailed
for Bermuda on the following morning, and
spent about two months there, after which
she returned direct to England.
GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS.
Matters of Money and Management
About Various Lines.
The Tybee railroad, which was to have
started but passenger trains to-day, will
hardly put on a passenger schedule before
Saturday. The heavy rains early in the
week delayed the ballasting of the road, so
that it will require several days yet before
it will lie ready for fast trains.
Mr. J. C. Carpenter, of Carpenter, Grant,
Mundv & Cos., who are building th° Savan
nah, Dublin and Western Railway, came
down from Macon yesterday. Mr. Carpen
ter says that he has 200 men at work on the
first forty miles of the road west of the
Ogeechee and he will have double that num
ber next week.
The Atlanta and West Point Presi
dency.
It is pretty well understood that President
Grant, of the Atlanta and West Point rail
road will retire in a short time and that Col.
Phinizy, of Augusta, will succeed him.
Gen. Alexander and Col. Fhinizy are very
warm personal friends, and have always
been closely identified with one another in
all matters pertaining to the management
of their roads. Col..Phinizy is a director in
the Georgia Central, nnd is also a lease di
rector in the Georgia, beside being Presi
dent of the railroad bank and the corpora
tion. It is said that at the next annual con
vention of the Atlanta and West Point
stockholders, to be held in Atlanta in July,
the present President of the road, Col.
Grant, will retire. The office of President
of the Atlanta and West Point road is
largely honorary, the active management of
the road being in the hands of the General
Manager. At a meeting of the Georgia
railroad directory in Augusta last week it is
understood that the directors increased the
salary of the President in order that ho
might devote his whole attention to the
affairs of the bank, one of the
largest, if not the largest, in the State.
Col. Phinizy resigned the Presidency of the
Augusta factory, which ho has held for
many yns, in order to give more attention
to the* affairs of the bank. The Presidency
of the Atlanta and West Point road will
not interfere with his bank duties at all.
Col. Grant has been connected for many
years with the Atlanta and West Point road.
For a long time he was Superintendent,
then Vice President, and finally President.
He has grown gray in the service. It is un
derstood that, feeble health and advancing
age is the cause of his retirement.

AN OLD CONFEDERATE.
A Man Whose Idle Has Been Pull of
Many Peculiarities.
There is living in the town of Dublin,
j On., an extraordinary man in tlie person of
! Capt. J. M. Smith. Ho is about 40 years
1 old and has never drank tea, coffee or.milk,
i bus never taken a chew of tobacco, has
i never played a game of any kind, lias never
gone fishing or hunting, and'lias never been
to ft picnic, and lias never .seen a game of
bane hall played. He lias been a commer
cial traveler for the last seven years, and
lias traveled all over the United States and
Central America. Capt. Smith was a gal
lant, officer in the Confederate army, and
was the youngest Captain in the service, he
lieing at that time only 15 years old. Just
tv u e the close of the war he was-placed in
command of a company of Yankees from
Andersonville, who, in order to get
out of prison took tlie oath of the Con
federate States, and went into the army.
The first opportunity they surrendered to
the enemy. When night came on Capt.
Smith made his escape, and in so doing was
shot and badly wounded by one of the
guards. He dragged himself three miles to
the Confederate lines. He was member
of Gen. W. H. T. Walker’s division, and
was within a few steps of the General when
he fell. When Sherman’s army was on the
north bank of tlie Chattahoochee aud the
Confederate forces on the south .someone was
wanted to go into the enemy’s camp and
find out what was going on. Smith volun
teered his services, and getting on a log he
floated across the river unobserved by the
Yankee pickets, and awhile before day he
returned with a Yankee officer's sword as
evidence that he had been there, and also
bringing valuable information. It was he
who informed Gen. Hood that the Yankees
were not falling back, as was supposed, but
were fixing to flank him by going down the
river and crossing. He is also one of tho
men who went with Capt. W. A. Puller in
the chase and capture of the noted engine
thieves, who stole the engine while the
passengers were at dinner at Big Shanty, on
the State road, during the war. The thieves
were afterward tried bv courtmartial and
hung in the city of Atlanta, Capt. Smith
wax in thirty-six battles during tho war, and
was wounded three times. He is a fine
looking man, hale and hearty.
Cotton Growing in the Caucasus.
From, the Lon don Daily News.
I learn from a member of the Imperial
Caucasian Agricultural Society that the ex
periments in cotton culture in three differ
ent districts of the Caucasus have thus far
given promise of success. American, Egyp
tian and home-grown plants appear to be
alike favored by the soil and climate. The
society has recently dispatched two of its
most expert members to the United States,
where they will scientifically study the
American system of cotton culture. A
company is Nieing floated which will estab
lish the first extensive plantations in the
neighborhood of Erivan. There is here the
promise of anew Russian industry of no
little importance.
Penalties of Imprudence.
Summer is at hand—tho time of year
when old heads and young become impru
dent, get over-heated, cool off suddenly,
catch cold, headache, nervous disorders and
a thousand and one other troubles. Preach
ing prudence is piayed out. The only thing
to do is—after you have contracted one or
more of these pains—to cure yourself as
quickly as possible. Small pains are not to
be neglected except at the risk of serious
consequences. Remove them at once. It
can be done by ati application of one or
irore of Allcock's’ Porous Plasters,
recognized tlie world over as the best ex
ternal remedy ever made. Mind you, don’t
neglect your little ills. They outgrow
everything else, and if let alone cost you
more than you can ever know. Remember
Allcock’s Plasters.
Important to Buyers.
During the month of July I will sell Hats
and Shoes at greatly reduced prices to
make room for my purchases while in the
Northern markets. Call early and secure
bargains. A. S. Nichols,
128 Broughton street.
Advice to Mothers.
Mrs. XVinslow’s Soothing Sj’rup shoo'd
always be used when children are' cutting
teeth. It relieves the little suffer at once; it
produces natural, quiet sleep by relieving
the child from pain and tho little cherub
awakes as “bright as a button.”
It is very pleasant to taste. It soothas the
child, softens the gums, allays all pain, re
lieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the
best known remedy for diarrhoea, whether
arising from teething or other causes. 25
cents a bottle.
