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.

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.

Ahml & HchauL PflE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 1887. 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.

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.

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.
