8 THE RIVER AND HARBOR. CONGRESSMAN NORWOOD WORK ING FOR THE NEW PROJECT. His Conference With the Savannah Harbor Improvement Committee How the New Work Will be Brought Before Congress-Secretary Kndi cott’s Approval of the Project Asked. Mayor Lester, Capt. John Flannery, President of the Cotton Exchange, Capt. F. M. Hull, President of the Board of Trade, and Mr. H. M. Comer, Chairman of the River and Harbor Improvement Committee, held a conference with Representative Nor wood yesterday in reference to the new project for the improvement of the Savan nah harbor. Congress will meet next mouth, and Representative Norwood says that he will look after Savannah’s interests at the earliest possible moment. SURVEY FOR THE YEW PROJECT. The survey upon which the project for securing 38 feet of water from the cross tides to the sea is based was completed by Lieut. Carter last July. The plans were forwarded to Gen. Gillmore and were embodied in his report to the Chief of Engineers last month. Representative Norwood wrote to Gen. Duane in reference to getting the project into the book of estimates, and a few days ago he received the following reply: Office Chief of Engineers. U. S. Akmv, I Washington. Oct. ii. 18S7. i Boh, T. SI. Xorwoorf. M. ■ . Savannah , On: Sir.—l have the honor to state in reply to your letter of Oct. 25, that the report of Gen. Q. A. (iillmore on the improvement of the Savan nah river will be submitted to the House of Representatives as soon as Congress meets. The report contains project aiul estimate of cost for obtaining a channel of twenty-eight feet depth, and my indorsement will stab' this, should Congress approve the project that sfiOn.- 000 can profitably bo expended during the com illg year. This estimate cannot be included in the book of estimates as 1 am not authorized to include in this list estimates for works that have not been already authorized by Congress. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, .1. C. IH ane, Brig. (den. Chief of Engineers. REPRESENTATIVE NORWOOD’S PART. Upon receipt of this letter Mr. Norwood wrote at once to the Seeaetary of War, stating the importance of the project and urging the Secretary’s approval of it. As soon as Congress meets Mr. Norwood will introduce a bill appropriating the #fsoo,o*X) called for in the estimates for the new project. The River and Harbor Committee will consider the new project in connection with the present one for twenty-two feet <>f water, the estimates for which call for SIBO,OOO. It will be some time liefore Georgia is reached by the eommitti'e, prob ably not before February or March, Mr. Norwood says, but when the bill is taken up he will notify the Savannah committee and will arrange a hearing before the Com mittee on Rivers and Harbors. Then is the time for Savannah's interests to be urged in the strongest possible manner. TO WAIT FOR CONGRESS. Mr. Norwood says that there is no neces sity for any one to go to YVashington now. Nothing can be accomplished before Con gress meets, and then the matter will have to be considered by the Committee on Rivers and Harbors before anything can be done. Ho is in hope that the Secretary of War will approve the new project, in which case his approval will have weight with the committee. Mr. Norwood explained the situation fully to the commit rpe which and Ml "in him vesterdav, and it will prepare itself to appear before the House committee at the proper time. THE SCAVENGER DEPARTMENT. A Plan to Have the City Instead of a Contractor Remove the Garbage. The resolution of Alderman Thomas to appoint a committee to consider the advisa bility of the city’s removing the garbage in stead of having it. done under contract is, said Mr. Thomas yesterday, the result of frequent suggestions that the city could operate a scavenger department to a great advantage, and accomplish more by removing the refuse itself, than by letting it out to a contractor. In speaking of the matter Mr. Thomas said that he wished it to be understood that the Council had no complaint to make against the way in which the contractor has done his work, but the new plan is considered because probably the city may be able to obtain a greater benefit from the outlay of the same amount of money. The city will not be able to remove the garbage any cheaper by having its own de partment, than by letting the work under contract, but there are many different pieces of work that need attention during the year, and no matter how carefully the con tract is drawn it is impossible to include them all. After the contract is made the contractor cannot lie compiled to attend to them, but if the city had a scavenger de partment ol its own this difficulty would not arise. The teams and carts could also be utilized in other departments, and in that case there would Ire a saving. The creation of the department would involve a heavy outlay at first. Teams, carts nnd harness would have to be bought and stables built, and a superintendent would have to be provided, but after the fii-st outlay the expenses of operating the department would certainly not be greater than under the contract sys tem, but the benefits would. The commit tee wilt also consider the suggestion to burn all the refuse, except the manure. This would be a healthful disposition of it, and after the nts-essary appliances hud been pro vided there would bo little or no expense. The present contract will expire in January, but the committee will make its report its soon as it ran consider the mdtter. . 9 MR. CLARKE'S LAST NIGHT. He Closes His Savannah Engagement With “Toodles” and “A Round Trip.” Mr. John S. Clarke closed his Savannah engagement last night liefore a fair audience, though not by any means a>> large as the performance merited. A double bill was presented, "A Round Trip,” Mr. Clarke’s new play, and “Toodles,” in which he has male his great success. His “Toodles” is a study of inebriety, never disgusting, but irresistibly funny r . It stands out in a framework of the crudest construc tion—the story of “Farmer Acorn,” his pretty daughter, her sailor lover, the bad man, “Grimes,” and the long-lost brother. The audience laughed whenever Mr. Clarke came upon the stage simply because it couldn’t help it. He was “Toodles” as lie had been “Dr. I’angloss” and “Zekiel Home spun,” and in all he was ably supported by' his company. Mr. Crest#n Clarke made another hit, arid he was often applaudod. In “The Round Trip” Mr. Clarke played the part of “Augustus Shad,” and in it he was as funny as in his other characters. Mr. Clarke is a comedian, the equal of whom Sa vannah playgoers seldom have the privilege of seeing. • LOST BOTH HER ANCHORS. The Schooner ‘ Enchantress’” Lively Experience Off St. Helena Island. The schooner Enchantress was towed into port yesterday with her two anchors gone. She was bound from Charleston for Bull river and anchored off St. Helena Wednes day. A northeast blow came on with a heavy sea and in getting under weigh the chain parted anil the anchor was lost. In trying then to get her in stays she mistayed and the other anchor was lost. She came in here for new anchors. River and Harbor Notes. The British steamship flayley came off Tybee knoll on Wednesday night’s tide, and procoede-1 to sea. THROUGH THE CITY.

There was a let up in the cold spell yester day and Savannah busked in the sunshine ol warmer weather. The directors of the Savannah, Dublin and Western railroad held their meeting yesterday, but only went over the regular affairs of the road. Savannah is well represented in Charles ton this week. Pretty nearly every Charles tonian living here went over to take in the gala week festivities. A meeting of colored citizens will be held at the colored Odd Fellows’ Hall to-night for the purpose of inviting Frederick Doug lass and ex-Seautor Bruce to come to Sa vannah. Two negroes named Richard Webb and Henry Cummings had a fight yesterday afternoon, during .which Webb drew a knife, and cut Cummings in the arm. Cummings’ friends arrested Webb, and took him to the barracks. The cut was not a serious one. J. X. Brannon and another man got into a quarrel in a saloon on West Broad and Bryan streets, last night, and went out on the sidewalk to settle it. Brannon’s ire rose, and during the dispute he drew a pistol ami fired it. He did not hit anybody, hut, Officer Sheehan heard the shot, an.l ran up and captured him. He was lodged in the barracks on the charges of disorderly con duct and tiring of a pistol in the city. The firemen were called out a few minutes after 7 o’clock yesterday morning by the burning of a frame house beyond the Coast Line railroad depot occupied by a colored family named Carter.. There was consider able difficulty in getting to the fire, caused by a misunderstanding os to its location, and when the firemen did got to work the fire was so far under headway that the building could not be saved. The occupants saved most of their household effects. The loss is between SBOO and $llOO. WEDDED AND HAPPY NOW. Mr. Horace W. Way Leads Mias Mamie Howard to the Altar. Avery pretty wedding took place last night at the Baptist Church. The bride was Miss Mamie S. Howard, daughter of City Surveyor John B. Howard, and the groom was Mr. Horace W.

Upon their re turn from their wedding trip Dr. and Mi's. Charlton will take up their residence here, and will be welcomed by a large circle of friends. NOVEMBER ON THE SEAS. The Hurricane Season Over and Fair Weather Looked For. The last pilot chart of the North Atlantic ocean has just been received. In the fore cast for November it says: “The West Indian hurricane, season is practically ended, nnd the gales which are encountered with increasing frequency north of the 40th parallel are mostly from the westward and northwestward. During the winter months the usual track of storm centres, or areas of low bar ometer is to the eastward across the Northern United States and Canada, and then about east northeast over the Atlantic. During the passage of each of theso areas of low baromoter westerly gales are felt at positions to tiie southward of its track. At feast three or four of these gales are likely this month to attain the force of a storm. Little or no ice will be encountered south of the parallel, and fogs will lie much more frequent, owing to fb prevailing north westerly (off shore) winds. The northeast trades will be light and somewhat variable.” THE NAPLES’ CREW PROTESTS. Another Wet Cotton Case to Be Tried— The Resolute's Cargo to Be Reloaded. The Naval Court is to resume its sitting this afternoon to hear the case of the crow of the Naples vs. Capt. Rulff. This is a similar case to the one tried last woek. The cargo of the Naples caught fire and the cot ton was damaged, and now the crew refuses to take the vessel to sea if the wet cotton is reloaded. The Rosolute’s ease will soon come to a crisis. Capt. Reavely has re ceived orders from the owners to reload his cargo nnd take it to Liverpool, and the cap tain will act in accordance with these in structions. The crew say they will not take the cargo across under hatches and they dare the captain to try and make them. It seems pretty certain that in the end they will be discharged and a volunteer crew will take the ship across. Thomas West& Cos. Dropping into the elegant store of this firm recently, we wore surprised at the ex tent and variety of their beaut iful Crockery, Glass end House Furnishing Goods. Their line of Faucy Articles for presents, or Mantle Ornaments cannot be excelled. At the same time, strict attention has been paid to all the wiuits of the household. They seek after and procure at the earliest moment, all of the new and labor-saving in ventions for housekeepers, as well as the substantial apparatus needed in tbe kitchen and pantry. Dinner alid Tea (Sets and Table Furniture also can be had from them in great variety, See what they have to say for themselves elsewhere. The 1 ast of the Season. Saturday's and Sunday’s excursions will be the last cheap excursions to Charleston from Savannah this season. The season has been a good one and the Charleston and Savannah public has appreciated the rail way company's endeavor's to give cheap transportation between the two cities by a I liberal patronage. THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER t. 1887. WAR ON THE INDIANS. The Noble Red Man to be Banished from Savannah’s Street Corners. Civilization has steadily but surely crowded the poor Indian out of its path way and pushed him into corners more remote and more remote, from whence again he has been dr ve , and at each drive the corner to which ho has been assigned has lieen reduced in size until now it is a hard thing to find an Indian, unless the olfactory nerves are exceedingly sensitive. Yamacraws, Chickasaws, Piutes, Pawnees, Utes, Sioux. Apaches and even Diggers have decreased in numbers until now the whole United States army cannot find one of them, though it tramp over the whole wild West, where rumors of hostile out breaks can be picked off of almost every blade of prairie grass. There is one tribe, however, that hitherto lias not been molested. The cigar store In dians, but their place has come to an end. The paleface has shouldered his musket and is on the warmth, and in the carnage that must follow the brave, the squaw and the papoose all must fall. But not alone the Indian is the object ot City Marshal Wade’s hostile design. On Wednesday night Levi J. Gazan petitioned the City Council to slay the death-dealing baud of the City Marshal and permit the only nobleman who remains in Savannah, since the departure of “Lord” Paget, to still survive. Mr. Gazan said that the Due de Garbaloza, whose familiar figure had been seen at the corner of Bull and Bry y an streets for fifteen years, had been ordered into exile and he pray ed that the Due, the last of fiis line, might not lie banished after ho had re mained at his post through w’ind and weather for lo these many years. City Marshal Wade says that ‘ r lo these many years” is ail right, but lo the poor Indian must go. The cause of this war upon these relics of this country’s former rulers is the report that a breaking out is contemplated by them. A piece was noticed breaking out of one of them only yesterday and there is danger that it may spread.* The Indian agents are responsible for this. The reckless wav in which guns, tomahawks and Anarch ists' bomb, done up like a bunch of cigars, have been placed in their hands, have given them ail exaggerated idea of their power. They think they are stronger than two-for-fives that can be bought in the stores and they never will know their mis take until they try to draw one. However wrong they may be it is hard to get a notion out of the head of the average Indian. There are other things that may be got out, but they cling to notions tenaciously, and it is dangerous to fool with the head of an Indian when he has his tomahawk up lifted. The reason the Due de Garbaloza has to go is that ever since he has been here he has been associating with these Indians, and there is a slight suspicion that he is the instigator of the contemplated outbreak. It has been noticed of late that his garments seem to have worn out as if a long period of idleness hail depleted his ex chequer, and it may be that lie, with cun ning worthy* a better cause, will incite the Indians to murder, and sneak into a clothing store during the excite ment anil revel in the possession of anew outfit. The suggestion was made that probably if lie was given another coat the impending danger might be averted, but Marshall Wade says that the city is not furnishing coats to worn-out aristocrats this week, and rather than descend to np peasing this old wretch, he will slay him. It is fortunate, in view of the danger, that there are so few of this tribe of In dians here. If there were as many ns there are In New York, and they should all break out at onoe, the rising sun would light up a desolate scene. The City Marshal says that if the Indians, and the Due as well, are hanged eight feet above the sidewalk, he would nut object to their remaining, but oven the thought of the car cass of an Indian hanging night feet .above the sidewalk on every corner is revolting. Better far to kill them at once and bury them decently than to leave them to hang there through the hot summer months, to greet the eye and nose of strangers anrl a Spanish gentleman, too, hanging on one of the cornei-s of the principal thoroughfares. The only hanging some Spaniards and In dians do is around saloons, and they would feel strangely out of place eight l’eet up in the air. But fate and City Marshal Yvade have doomed them, and in a short while the only thing remaining of the braves who once roamed these forests and chased the deer and the early settler will be the remem brance that all that is mortal of Tomachichi lies buried under the Gordon monument and that Yamacraw is thriving. A ROMANCE Which is Without Any Foundation Whatever in Fact. The Hartford Times which reached this city yesterday contained the following: A romantic marriage has just come to light, in which two young people well-known in New Haven figured as principals. They are Clifford \V. Hartridge, one of Yale's crew at New Lon don in June lasi, and Miss Nellie F. Gallagher, a pretty young lady of New Haven. Mr. Hart ridge is a resident of Savannah. Gn., and his family is one of the wealthiest of that place. Hartridge had not lieen long a student at Yule be fore he became acquainted w ith Miss Gallagher, who was at that time employed in a dry goods store. They were secretly married within a few monthß. the bride remained in New Haven, and Hartridge s relatives knew nothing of the affair until they came here recently to investi gate. Mr.Clifford \Y r . Hartridge. above referred to, is the son of Maj. A. L. Hartridge, of this city. He is at present a law student in Columbia Law School, and is also reading law in the office of one of the most prom iueut law firms in the city of New York. Maj. Hartridge was asked yesterday if there was any truth in the above notice. He was greatly surprised when he read it, and declared at once that he did not believe there was any truth in it. Indeed, so confident was he that it was without any foundation that he unhesitatingly said that, it was pure fic tion. He at once telegraphed his son noti fying him that the paper containing the publication had reached here. Yesterday afternoon he received from his son the fol lowing: “I have just received your tele gram. I only saw the lie yesterday. I am going to New Haven and Hartford to-mor row.” This settles tlie question as to whether there is any truth in the publication. Doubt less Mr. Hartridge will find that some ene my at Hartford has taken this means to do him an injury. Local Personal. Dr. and Mrs. Head have gone North. They will be absent a month or six weeks. F. L. Peacock, Esq., of the firm of Pea cock, Hunt & Cos., was elected a member of the Board of Trade yesterday. Dr. B. F. Sheftall, Sanitary Inspector at Sapelo quarantine station, returned home yesterday, the station having been closed for the winter. Dr. Sheftall gave entire satisfaction to the authorities at Washing ton, us well as to masters of vessels who had the misfortune to have to go into quaran tine during his administration of affairs at Sapelo. P. McGlashan. This enterprising citizen conducts the only exclusive Saddle and Harness Manu factory in the city. He formerly did busi ness in Macon, and was noted for his per sonal integrity and the superior quality of the goods turned out by him. Those need ing new Harness that will wear for years, or wishing the old thoroughly' and expe ditiously repaired, will do well to carefully examine and give heed to his advertisement in another column. Cleared for Antwerp. Messrs. A. Minis & Sons cleared yester day* the British steamship Glen Tanar for Antwerp, with 3,635 bales of upland cot ton, weighing 1,770,843 pounds, valued at $ 105.015. “Golden Medical Discovery”—the great blood-purifier. ON RAIL. AND CROSSTIE. Local and General Gossip in Railway Circles. Samuel B. Webb, the Central’s Atlanta Passenger Agent, was in the city yesterday. Surveyor J. O. Fries has put 250 men at work grading the Alabama, Florida and Atlantic railroad towards Orlando, and ex pects to have I,oob men on by next week. E. W. Ebbets, passed through Savannah yesterday on Ins way to Jacksonville from the North. Mr. Ebbets is one of the best known railroad and steamship agents in the country. Messrs. G. D. and T. M. Hughes, of Dub lin, and Richard Imigdon, of Philadelphia, were in the eity yesterday attending the meeting of the directors of the Savannah, Dublin and Western. President John C. Peabody, of the Colum bus and Rome railroad, has been in Savan nah a day or two trying to arrange with the Central to aid in the extension of the road. The Central is not inclined at present, however, to put any money into the Colum bu-s and Rome. THE POST OEFICB SITE. Some Suggestions Which Mr. Nor wood Makes About It. Savannah, Nov. Editor Morning News: Should Mr. Guerry, the United States District Attorney, report favorably on the question of tit e to the barracks lot the sale to the government will be perfected within a few days after his re port. Should he report unfavorably, the Secretary of Treasury will, no doubt, pro ceed at once, under the recent act of the Georgia Legislature, to condemn. There are some citizens who object to the barracks site for a post office because it is too far from the present business centre. There are others who object because the purchase by the government will defeat the project for a large hotel. I beg to say to both classes of our citizens that it is not too late, in ray opinion, to secure the whole of the barracks lot for a hotel, and to have the post office nearer the business centre, Mr. 1). (4. Purse is willing to let any gentleman, or number of gentle men, have the barracks lot without any ad vance in price if they will secure another site for the courts and jxwt office satisfac tory to the government, and 1 here express my willingness to co-operate with them in any effort to induce the Secretary of Treas ury to accept another eligible sito. Bqt, if action is taken, it must be done speedily and before the Secretary of Treasury closes the pending negotiations for a site. If nothing should be done by those who object to the site selected (the barracks) and the building shall be placed there, I have no doubt, as I said in my speech at Masonic Hall, that a subsidiary post office can be arranged for in the custom building, after the courts have been provided for elsewhere, and I shall endeavor to have one estab lished. T. M. Norwood. AMERICANS ABROAD. “As Ithers See Us”—Various Types— Hotel Experiences. From Chambers' Journal. Perhaps it is on the score of the familiar ity we are gaining with the American traveler that British people are so ready with their opinions as to “Americans.” In a mixed company where the subject is dis cussed the variety of views expressed are somewhat apt to to be conflicting, and truth to tell, even to the impartial judge, a candid opinion on the point is difficult. To those who know Americans well it is only too evident that of late years a marked change is observable in the character of the American tourist as he is to lie met with in Britain and on the Continent. The low fares and quick passages, the sudden fortunes made “out IV'est,” among many other reasons have tended to fdter entirely the whole na ture of titvoeuau nip..; ■ ’ *•;■- similar con ditions may be said in the Old VV orlil to have materially modified the character of foreign travel. It Is no longer possible, therefore, to pass a hasty generalization on the Ameri can traveler: for he will be found, by those to whom he is familiar in his several phuses, to vary consraerably from the highest ty'pe of the still existing Southern gentleman, who, to all but the keenest observation, would pass unnoticed in a crowd of correct English people, to the unmistakable '' West erner” or “down-Easter,” the cut of whose clothes, hat and boots, not to speak of a manner thoroughly in accord with his shrill and monotonously toned accent, betray themselves instantly. * * * * It is, indeed, a singular feature of modern American existence —it might almost l>e said of modern civilization, the terms, ac cording to some, being interchangeable— that there is to be found in America a cer tain section of the community who openly express a contempt for everything “Ameri can.” Probably none are louder in the ex pression of this feeling than the American women, who form, perhaps, the largest number of American residents in Europe. It is easy to see bow the conditions of exist ence on “the other side” have led to this curious state of affairs. In America there is no “leisure class.” Every member of the community, as a rule, is actively engaged in commerce, and commerce in America is followed with a feverish ardor un known in our “effete Old World.” Asa matter of course, the wom en are entirely outside this interest. Educated in many respects with greater care than their sisters in Europe; leading generally what has not unfitly been termed a hot house existence; freed in great part from the many domestic cares which occupy so largely the tune and attention of women over here; voracious readers of cosmopoli tan literature, English, French and German; looking to Europe for every inspiration of refinement, from the last new fashion in dress or home decoration to the latest novel or the last new opera—it is little wonder that, amidst the uncongenial atmosphere of “home,” the American woman who has any aspirations sighs to reach the land of prom ise across the ocean. * * * * Happily the proportion of Americans who are ashamed of their country and its de ficiencies is comparatively small, and their inlluenoe inconsiderable, for they constitute an anomaly such as will be found in no other nation. Socially speaking, from our European point of view, such “conscious" Americans, ns Mr. James has termed them, may lie more agreeable than their uncouther countrymen; yet let it not be forgotten that itiswiththo raw-boned, broadcloth-rovered, broad-shouldered, slouch-hatted “Yankees” who protrude their presence so conspicu ously, that the future destinies of Ament* rest.; bv them its wonderful past has been molded. It is not with the namby-pamby American —too usually a snobbish worshiper of the rank and family in which they are deficient.

From the St, Jamea Gazette. A ‘ ‘Yorkshi reman” (tends to the Standard the following description of the game of arrow throwing, to which we referred on Monday. The Yorkshire “arrow throwing” consists in throwing an arrow the greatest distance, and not in aiming at a mark, the ground from the standpoint being measured out into spaces, each 20 yards apart, radiat ing from the center or standpoint, and which are generally marked by small branches or twigs stuck into the ground, and called “scores;” the one’ throwing the most “scores” winning the match, say out of about 30 or 40 throws. The “arrow” is not a javelin or assegai, but very similar to the arrow used in modern archery, though without any feathers at the base or metal at the point. It is generally made of light soft wood, varying in length from 2 to 3 feet, according to the fancy of the thrower. It is rather thicker at the point than the base, and sometimes is made of two different kinds of wood, box being used for the point und willow for the base. The method of throwing is as follows: The “thrower” takes a stout piece of whip-cord, about a yard and a lialf in length, a knot being tied at one end, so as to form a “button,” round which the cord is “hitched,” after having been passed round the base end of the arrow, and a few inches from that end; the cord is then brought down to the point, which the thrower holds in the cord being perfectly tight and parallel to the arrow to prevent it slipping from the “button,” or knot, at the base until it is released in the act of throwing. The “thrower” then passes the remainder of the cord round his hand, in order to insure a better grip, and, taking a run of several yards, as a bowler does at cricket, throws the arrow with a jerk, over hand, as one would throw a ball or stone, the cord slipping from the arrow and over the knot as soon as the necessary impetus is given. A really expert ‘ ‘thrower” will gener ally throw in a match at least from nine to eleven “score”—i. e., 180 to 220 yards every throw, his best efforts reaching as high as thirteen or fourteen “score.” NOT IN BED FOR SEVEN YEARS. Sweet Sleep and Perfect Health Re stored by the Use of Prickly Ash, Poke Root and Potassium. Lake City, Fla., June 24, 1888. C. H. Newman, of Lake City, Fla., says his wife has suffered for seven years with a complication of diseases, of which Asthma was the most prevalent. She has not laid down in heel for seven years. He has expended all the money his business has made him in that time for medicine, physicians, etc., to obtain relief for her, but without any success whatever. He was advised by physi cians to try P. P. P. He finally did so, expecting to derive no benefit, nut after taking less than two bottles eruptions appeared all over and she immediately began to improve, and now her skiu is perfectly clear. She sleeps soundly every night on an ordinary pillow and her general health has not been better in years. Mr. Newman, who is a mer chant in Lake City, is very enthusiastic over the cure, and thinks it the grandest blood purifier and tonic of the age. P. P. P. is a home remedy; is no secret, but a regular physician’s prescription, pre pared in the most careful manner, and from materials that are always fresh and reliable. P. P. P. is the greatest Tonic in the market. For sale by all Medicine Dealers. Dr. W hitehead can be consulted daily at the office of the Company, Odd Fellows’ Hall Building, without charge. Prescrip tions and examination free. All inquiries by mail will also receive his personal at tention. . Cable Street Cars. There was a rumor afloat a few days ago that this new street railway, which is to go to the Central railroad wharf and through the city, was to be run by cable, like the Chi cago street railway.
