8 FINDING A NEW CHANNEL WHAT JOHN WINN SAYS ABOUT THE COURSE OF THE RIVER. How the Fig- Island Jetty Has Diverted the Waters to the South Channel— The Bed of the River Washed From Under the Old Cribs—Threatened Danger That Can 'Now Bo Averted. John Winn, the well-known diver, makes a statement in regard to the condition of the river and the effect of the improvements in the way of jetties ar.d wing dams, which should receive the attention of the govern ment engineers. If what Winn savs is cor rect the water in the river is taking a course very different from that in tended by the scientific men who designed the system of river improvements. Winn's statement is that since the jetties, which begin at the eastern end of Fig Is land, were extended to a point opposite Fort Oglethorpe, the water, instead of flow ing through the north channel around Elba Island, has been turned into the south chan nel and flows through Augustine creek and Freeborn's cat into Warsaw sound. AT THE LIVE OAKS. At the old Confederate obstructions across the month of south channel, where there were nine foot of water a year ago, there are now twenty-seven feet, ami at the submerged dam, built by the Government, near that point, which was formerly abovi low water mark, there are ten feet of water. This increased depth of water, Winn says, holds good from the Deptford plan tation through Augustine creek and Free born's cut. At the live onk trees put down by the Confederates in the latter there arc twenty-live feet of water. The diver savs that lie can walk under the old criln at the entrance to the south channel and have ten feet to spare overhead, the bed of the river having washed away, leaving these old ob structions resting far above on the piliugs. WATCH THE COMING FRESHET. lii reply to a question ns to the reason why the water does not follow the south channel down to Tybee instead of turning into Augustine creek, Wynn stated that he accounted for it by the fact that that south channel became shallow below the mouth of Augustine creek and the latter being deeper water it was natural that the water should turn into that course, and once having begun to cut a way for itself it continued to do so. He savs Hint the cor rectnew* of his theory and the truth of what he asserts will lie demonstrated to any one who will examine into the matter, particu larly during the freshet which is now rush ing toward the ocean. TOO MUCH MONEY REQUIRED. It will tie remembered that one of the plans urged years ago for deejiening the waterway from the city to the sea was the improvement of the south channel, or more properly the south branch of the Savannah, which is almost a straight channel from Fort Oglethorpe to Tybee. It is a shorter route and would only have required the closing of cer tain openings which were necessary, and which nave been closed for the improvement of the north channel or branch or the river, and the dredging of a ship channel. The plan was not approved by the engineers, (lo calise there was a risk of stopping up the river for a while unless there was ti very large appropriation at one tune so that the work would not be dhlayod. Such an appropriation it was not possible to get at one session of Congress. PROMPT ACTION NEEDED. Winn insists that unless something is done at once to stop the curQnit which is now eating its way through the water courses leading to Warsaw Sound there will be serious damage done to the river. There may be nothing in what the diver says, but nevertheless there is other evidences tlian his statement to estab lish the correctness of his views. One of these is the collision of several steamers With the Tybee railroad bridge across Augustine creek. Winn says the tide now sets ro strong through that estuary that it is almost impossible to steer a boat straight through it. Winn is a goid oarsman but he couldn’t innke much headway aguinst an ebb tide at that point. THE NECESSARY IMPROVEMENTS. The water flowing past the city formerly emptied into a brood expanse of water after it (Missed Fig Island, and by a gradual flow sought the north or south branches or chan nels Now it is conttned between a long jetty and the south twink of the river, and is almost directed in a straight line to the abandoned south channel instead of the north or improved channel. The construc tion of wing dams below Fort Oglethorpe and a heavy submerged (him at the entrance to the south channel will, Winn thinks, remedy the difficulty and avert danger which threatens the river. ALL FOR LOVE. Philo Lawson Loses Her Mind Because of the Faithlessness of Hor Lover. As romantic a case of broken heart as ever came under a judicial eye was brought to the notice of Hon. Hampton L. For rill yesterday. Betty Lawson (oolored) swore out a warrant oil Thursday, charging her sister, Philo Lawson, with being a lunatic, and a fit and proper subject for the asylum. Philo was arrested and placed in jail, aud yesterday she was taken before the Ordi nary for examination. The jury was sum moned, and the witness and Philo were on hand. The testimony deduced was that Philo had been engaged to be married to a negro named Cohen, and had saved up SIOO for the purchase of furniture aud her trousseau. Cohen had been n faithful and devoted lover until Philo gave him her money to keep, but then "Ins whole nature seemed to change. He deserted Philo but kept her money and married another woman. She was heart broken, and her grief has destroyed her mind. She imagines that her mother and sister are trying to kill her; that they are jealous of tier because tiiev want to marry Cohen themselves. She will uot stay at homo, but wanders about the streets and has become the object of mirth of the hearties- small boys of lho neighborhood. She thinks her mother and sister have shaved her head, and when she lifted the towel which she wears to conceal her baldness she showed us thick a head of hair as ever a negross liad. The jury found her insane, and slit- was committed to the asylum. Waiting fbr Ammunition. Tile riflo practice of the Guards has Ceased for want of ammunition. Some time ago a requisition was made upon At lanta, which in turn inodo a call upon Fortress Monroe. The officers liuvo re ueived official notice that their request has lsscn honored, hut no uuuuunitiou lias yet conic to hand. It will lie received so late now, anyhow, that they will U> able to practice but once or twice before the busy season opens. It is regretted that it tuts l>-ui delayed so long, far the riflo practice was certainly very valuable L* tho com pany. The electric light has boon introduced into the Guards' Hull, adding much to tho pleas antness of the room by (is brilliancy. Brandt, tho Artist, Sick. Mr. C. L. Brandt, New York’s famous artist, is now lying sirb ualy sick at Hast ings-on-thc-Hudson and his son, Dr. Brandt, of New York, is also sick at the fume place. Mr. Brundt is a director in the Telfair Art Academy and has a sou. Dr. C. N. Brandt, in this city. Mr. Brandt is ail artist whose work lias won him an international reputa tion and l is sickness is regretted not only by those who know him persons!ly but also by thorn who know him through hi* works. THROUGH THE CITY. Items Gathered Hare and There by tho NeW3 Reporters. There were six arrests for disorderly cou j duct yesterday. The tug Monarch arrived here yesterday with tho lighter Heidi in tow from Charles ton. The fighter is loaded with acid phos phate. Tlie Metropolitan Savings and Loan Com pany has declared a2! { per cent, dividend ! upon the last six months’ earnings of the i company. A serge umbrella was found Thursday on j the corner of Drayton and Bryan streets, i by the police and is now at tho barracks awaiting a claim from the owner. Tho Charleston fishing schooner “Eleven Sailors,” is ashore at Adam’s Point, near Montgomery. She has been there ever since Sunday. The tug Samuel NV inpennv went to hor assistance yesterday, but was unable to get her off. The last train from Tybee last night was crowded. The surf Imtning was find about Bp. m., and quite a number of poople en joyed it. General Manager Belknap took a party of friends down on the 6 o’clock train in his private car, and returned on the 9:15 train. There is some talk about the County Com missioners having made a monopoly in the liquor business on Tybee Isluud by giving a license tff Mr. Hodges, of the Ocean House, to the exclusion or others. That is not the fact, as Mr. Wright, who keeps a house near the hotel, also has a license. Mr. Miller, Superintendent of the water works, announces that the water will lie shut off this morning at 10 o’clock, in the district included from Broughton to Bryan, and from West Broad to Aberoom, and also on Buy street from East Broad to West Broad streets, and will remain shut off several hours. Gen. E. P. Alexander, President of the Central Railroad, has written a circular letter to tho members of the Legislature, opposing the two bills which have been in troduced, one to appoint a State commission to examine for color blindness all persons who have anything to do with the handling of trains, and another to apjiouit a State commission to examine locomotive en gineers os to their fitness for their posi tions. THE CENTRAL’S ILL LUCK. Another Washout Delayed Yester day’s Trains - Better Prospects To- Day. The Central seems to have a streak of ill luck sinoe the floods began. A fter all their trouble the first part of the week, they managed to get affairs straighten'd up and the track repaired Tuesday night aud the evening trains went through all right. The morning trains yesterday passed over with out any trouble, but afiout noon a short trestle was washed swav near the Ogeehee river, and that stopped ail the trains very effeetuxlly. The through train No. 2, due here at 5 o’clock last night, was caught the other side of the washout, and had not ar rived here up to 1 o’clock this morning. Several freight trains were caught on this side. The Millen accommodation train No. 7 was laid up this side of the break, also, and the Asheville train was held at llalcyon dale. The break is not a very bad one.bcing simp ly a short piece of tresthng that was washed off by the suiisiding waters. Strenuous efforts were being made to repair it all the afternoon aud evening, and the prospect was that the trains would get through some time l**fore morning. The (tassongers fared very well, though some of them had to skirmish around pretty lively for rations. In ali probability tho break is all right this morning, and il is expected that the trains will go through without interruption. CLEAN SAVANNAH. Sanitary Matters in Perfect Condition and the City Healthy. The sanitary condition of tho city to-day is a perfect one and for which the sink cleaning find the street dofiartiiients desorve credit. Over 800 vaults have been cleaned since Jan. 1 mid this week there is not one that requires attention. There are ovor it,509 in tho city and certainly this showing is a good one. Weekly inspections and full rejiorts are mode and anything ueeding the slightest attention is at ouce soon to. This insures a healthy condition of affairs and the departments show their working quali ties by keeping the matter under their con trol up to this nigh standard. The Montgomery Yacht Raco.

SURE TO BE BUILT. The Birmingham and Atlantic's Bond Sale Insurer Its Completion. Maj. J. A. A. West, the General Man ager of the Birmingham and Atlantic Air Line, returned to the city from a trip over the road yesterday. He was asked whether it was true that $6,000,000 of bonds of the company had beou placed with a Euro pean syndicate, as reported, and he replied that he could not say positively as he had been absent from the city, and had not been in communica tion with New York for nearly a week, but he thought it was time because last Satur day he received a letter from New York, which said: "Our position now is impregna ble, and the rood will be built no matter what happens." He was inclined to think that the report was true also, tiecauso SO,- 000,000 was the exact amount of bonds the company desired to place. He had no idea what tho 1 Kinds brought, but ho knew that it must have been par or nearly par, because they are held by the United States Construc tion Company, which will not consider any proposition that shades par much. Concerning the work on the road he said the contractors wore using improved ma chinery, and by that means they were push ing ahead rriuiii faster than they expected to. The first fifty miles out of Savannah will he graded Ijefore Oct. 1, the tiino R[xvi fiert, and in order that they may not run out of work, the contractors have written to New York to ask for ten miles more to work on while they are negotiating for tho next fifty-mile section. The first section out of Macon will be graded in a short while, so by Oct. 1, 110 miles will lx- road v for the ties Dr. West inspected the work (lone by Ferguson it Cos., for the old Savannah, Dublin und Western and found it in remarkably good condition. He expected to find that the rains had washed gullies and holes in it, but they have not. Some of the sand has been washed into the ditches from the sides, but very little work will clean them out and the bed will theu be in order. GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS. Matters of Money and Management About Various Lines. Mr. John Coyne has declined the offer of Division Superintendent of the Charlotte Harbor section of the Florida Southern rail road, tendered him by Manager Conant. A large assemblage of the Louisville, Tenn., people met there July 80 to express their approval of the proposed Knoxville Southern Railway Company. Resolutions favorable to the road were passed. Capt. Joe Mnrzvck goes to New York to day to purchase two engines and other ma chinery, to lie used in building docks and warehouses for tho South Florida railroad at Black Point, twelve miles below T.imtm, to which (h lint the road is being extended. Capt. J. S. Callahan, tho popular conduc tor on the Louisville and Nashville road, has had quite a severe attack of fever since ho got the shaking up in the collision near < Ixmotir. He returned from Blount Springs Sunday night and expects to resume his run the latter port of this week. The Captain was tolling how some of the passengers ran over him while trying to get out of the cars at the time of the collision, when one of his auditors asked why he did not lie down and prevent it —by running a blockade, so to say. The extension of the South Florida rail road from Tampa to Black Point, on the Gulf, is being pushed forward rapidly, over 150 hands lieing employed. The wharf at Black Point will extend 8,700 feet out into the bay. All the material for its construc tion will have to be rafted around from Tampa. The bridge across the Hillsborough at Tampa, will be begun soon. The piling will all be creosoted. It will be a draw bridge with two openings of 80 feet each, the draw being ISfVfoet over all. The bridge and trestle approaches will lie 1,100 fret long. A large amount of money will be ex pended in the construction of this extension and the wharves at Black Point. The recent railroad accident by which a train ran into a section of Ituliari workmen near New York and killed a dozen or more has developed that groat number* of Italians are employed in this character of work in America, and are in charge of padronos who care for them and grow wealthy cut of their scanty ’earnings, importing them for the purpose'from the northern part of Italy, where the poorer classes of Italians inhabit. They remain long enough to lay by, with long practiced frugality, SSOO or S6OO, with which they return to Italy, where this sum is a competency. The Erie road alone has over 1,800 in its employ, who earn from *BO to #25 per month, and live on *5 and less. At tho end of two years they go home. Last Monday Capt. Biandford and his cor[>s of engineers, surveyors, etc., reached Cochran on their return survey of the pro jected railroad from Dublin to Hawkins ville, which is a part of the Savannah, Dublin and Western Short Line. The route was parallel with tho Hawkinsville branch of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railway, and distant, on the southeast side of the Dranch road, on an average of a few hundred yards. It crossed the railway there at the < irecu place, between the residence of Mr. Charley Muliis and the college. Tho party worked till near night, accompanied through town by a large delegation of citi zens, and met at the Orimsley Hotel, where at 8 o’clock they were handsomely enter tained by some fifty of the citizens.

AN EFFORT TO OBTAIN THE OLD CEMETERY AS ITS SITE. Tho County Commissioners to Ask the Legislature For It—Thoy Will Op pose the Bill to Make Chatham County Pay the Expenses of the City Court. A special meeting of the County Commis sioners was held yesterday afternoon for the purpise of considering matters in regard to tho county poor farm and the new court house. The question of a location for the pro posed poor farm was, after some dis cussion, referred back to the special com mittee for the purpose of obtaining further information as to the eligibility of certain sites. The Commissioners made a departure on the new court house project, and instructed the County Solicitor to prepare the neces sary bills authorizing the sale of the present court house, and asking the Legislature to vest the title to the old cemetery in the county for the nuriiose of erecting thereon a court house and such other public build ings as the county may need, the idea being to> make it a public park with the court . house located in it. The following bill now before tho Legis lature was read: A Bii.l to be entitled an act to relieve the City of Savannah from the payment of any ex pense attached to the City Court of Savannah; from all payments of fees or salary to the Solicitor General of tho Eastern Circuit an I the ofltoers of said court on account of service in said court, anil to require the payment out of the Treasury of Chatham oountv of such fees to the Solicitor General aud officers of said court as have lieretofbre been paid out of the Treasury of the City of Savannah. Sr.i-riox 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the .State of Georgia in General Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, that from and after the passage of this act the Mayor and Aldermen of the flty of Savannah shall lie relieved from making any payment from tiie Treasury of said city of any ex;>enses attached to the City Court of Savannah, of any fees or salary to the Solicitor General of the Eastern Circuit for services in said court, of any fees or salaries to the officers of said court . Skc. 2. And It Is hereby further enacted by the authority of the same, that from nn 1 after the :((.Ksacc ~f this act. all expenses attached to the City Court of Savannah, all fees and salary to the Solicitor General of the Eastern Circuit for services in said court, and all fees and sala ries to the officers of said court, payable now out of the Treasury of the city of Savannah, shall l>o paid out of the Treasury of the county of f’hatham. It was Ordered, That tho members of tho Legis lature In requested to oppose tho pas sage of the bill to relieve tho City of Savan nah from paying any expenses attached to tho City Court, because the power of the county to levy taxes is limited and tho lay ing of any further special burdens on the taxpayers should lie avoided if possible. The taxing power of tho municipal govern ment of tho city of Savannah is virtually unlimited, anil it elects the very officers the salaries of whom the bill proposes shall be (said by uuty, and it should there fore snare in the burdens of maintaining said court. In tho matter of opening Lovers’ lane from Waters road to the Skidaway road was referred back to the committee to per fect papers. Charleston Talk. The South Carolina Railway Company announced to their ticket agents Thursday that trains would not go through to Hen dersonville. The merchants of King street were brought up standing Thursday by a warn ing from police headquarters anent their awnings. An ordinance makes it a punish able offense for any one to leave an awning down after night, and the law would seem to be a good one, for in case of fire awnings can contribute very materially to the spread ing of the flames. The fire on Sunday morning last was a very forcible reminder of this fact. Had there not been a night watchman on the street a serious fire might have resulted. About twenty-two King street merchants were up before the Re corder, either in person or by counsel, and after calling their attention to the long overlooked law they were all dismissed. The preliminary hearing in the Calvary Baptist church arson case, which was com menced before Trial Justice Rhctt on Tues day, was resumed Thursday in the office of the judicial justice, in the fire-proof build ing. The little room was packed with peo ple, who listened with a great deal of in terest to the proceedings. Ever since the destruction of the church, which was burned to the ground on April 25, there has been bitter war between the two factions of the congregation, known r>s the Butler and Ford factions. The day after the fire the leaders of the Ford faction were arrested on the charge of burning the church, but, the cost' was dismissed. Since tlint there has lieeu i long litigation us to which faction constituted the lawful head of the corpora tion and had tho right to the insur ance money, amounting to sl,ooo* Tho present case Ts tho third stage of the war, and especial interest aud importance was attached to the examina tion, for the reason that under the Statutes of South Carolina arson is not a bn i lable offence, and if the defendants, J. C. Butler, G randivon Butler, If. lv. Daniels and John Adams were committed for trial they would have to remain in jail from now until tho next term of the Court of Sessions in No vember. The warrant against the above defendants, all of whom belong to the But ler faction, was issued upon tho affidavit of Daniel Davis, who was examined on Tues day. After hearing a number of witnesses anil a statement from the Rev. J. C. Duller, Mr. Rhctt then said that iu his opinion a probable ease had lx cn made out for tho State, and that there was nothing left for him to do but to commit the defendants to jail for trial at tho Court of Sessions. The counsel for the defense hud warrants sworn out in the afternoon dgninst the witness Davis and Zimmerman, charging them with (lerjury, and will fight tho case further on this point. Selling Whisky Without a License. William McNeil, a white rook at Snpolo quarantine station, was lodged in the police barracks Inst night for safe keeping. He was charged with illegal whisky sidling.
