THE NEW DRAINAGE SYSTEM.
Dr. Falligrant Answer* Some Objec
tions to His Plan.
Dr. Falligant’s proposed system of house
drainage seems to be meeting with the ap
proval not only of sanitarians but of every
one who is conversant with such matters.
In a general conversation yesterday the
doctor said that he would like to answer
some imaginary objections which had been
raised to the system which he proposed.
One objection is that the stand-pipe pressure
might possibly be too great for the safety
of the pipe at the head cf the lane sowers at
West Broad street. “There are,” he said,
•'supposed to be openings in the central lane
ripe every 15 to 80 feet for house connections,
besides the man-holes every block or two,
each of which openings relieve the pressure,
in addition to the general relief obtained by
the downflow of the flush current: so
that. in my judgment, there is
about as much danger to the pipe from the
standpipe pressure as there would he to a
man's toe by his kicking the atmosphere:
besides, this pressure can easily be controlled
by the valve.
“A second objection suggested to me * s that
so great a flush current might, in case of de
fective joints, cause a wash out under the
pipe. Certainly my system is not responsi
ble for defective joints. 1 presume the work
will be properly done. But what we want
above everything else is a good flush current
that will cleanse these house drains beyond
any peradventure, and my plans provide it.
On" this point we cannot afford to take any
risks.
“A third objection suggested," said Dr.
Falligant, “is that in some places the
bouse connection would have to tie carried
eight to ten fee,, below the surface. Ho
much the better for the house drain, since
the greater incline from the closet insures
a more certain carriage of the contents of
the house drain into the flushed central lane
sewer, whore their further downflow is
made certain by the flush current.
“Another possible contingency presented
to me was that the quantity of water neces
sary for flushing purposes might draw too
heavily on our artesian supply. Ido not
propose to draw on the artesian system at
ail. The city now owns a couple of fine
pumps, already paid for, which cost them
about $12,000. and are now laid by because
of insufficient capacity for general uses. I
propose to make use of the pumps to pump
the Savannah river water into the reservoir
or standpipe, and use that inexhaustible
supply for flushing pur|>oses.”
“Have you ever made any calculation as to
the length ot time the flush current would
take to run from West Broad street to Fast
Broad street?’ the doctor was asked.
“Yes; by the ordinary law of downflow
by gradcfall it would take about twenty
minutes, but when the impetus of the stand
pipe pressure is given to it the time can
easily lie induced to less than one-half, be
sides securing greater cleansing pow-er by
reason of the increased force of the current.
One immense advantage of my proposed
system seems to have been entirely
overlooked. Each pipe running from
West Broad to East Broad
street is a complete thing or system in
itself, and any trouble occurring in its use
fulness by reason of accidental obstruction
or needed repairs, or w ork of any kind
along its lines, does not involve any other
lane sewer, or necessitate interference with
the usefulness of any other sewer whilst
work is being done on the one involved—
s7o,ooo to $lOO,OOO more to be saved to the
real estate owners.”
“How is that?’
“You will be surprised when I tell you
that although I have just shown you how
to make those $ 12,000 invested in idle
pumps come into active usefulness, I will
also exhibit where another saving of over
$70,000, indeed, over $lOO,OOO, when you
come to consider the new extension and the
portions of the city outside ot East and West
Broad streets, ought to be made by the
property owners. The law of the State
authorizes the Mayor and Aldermen
to lay down those pipes and
charge them to the lot own
ers pro rata by frontage:—that is
what the law allows. Now when you go to
the Clerk's office to get a permit for a sewer
connection you are made to pay $l4 extra
in each case, which the law does not allow.
But the Council want more money to spend,
and that is one of their sideshows by means
of which the shekels are raked in. Have
you ever figuied up what that plunder
amounts to in a city?’
M No!"
“Well, I'll tell you. Between Bay and
Anderson, and between East Broad and
Wost Broad streets, it would amount to be
tween $70,000 and $lOO,OOO to which the
city has not a shadow of legal claim—s,ooo
or more houses, that is 5,000 or
more permits for house connections,
at $l4 each, aggregate S7O,(XX) or
more for the district mentioned. Beal
estate already bears the burdens of the great
loss on the Atlantic and Gulf railway, al
though commerce (and bondholders) enjoy
its profit*! Heal estate built the great sew
ers and will havo to build the lesser ones!
Real estate is expected to pay for roadways
along which commerce (and funerals) may
drive in comfort! Real estate not only built
the water works and paid for its idle pumps,
but is expected to bring clean water into
the city and carry foul water out! Real
estate pays the scavenger department about
$ I s.oitO to carry garbage out, that com
merce may smel! sweet odors along her
golden pathway! Now, for God’s sake,
can't real estate, owning her own ducts, let
her waste secretions run out of them
without unnecessary suffering and
without contributing out of her
woes and cramps to the general
extravagance! I see money spent like water
for other things not hnlf so much needed
as good house drainage; and I am led to re
call the philosophy or the darkey during the
war. who was told of the honor and glory
to lie won for his country by lighting and
dying in the front rank, but who naively re
plied, “Boss, w-hat. am de country to me
when lam dead!” What will all "these pro
jected improvements be to us if we neglect
to take care of that precious life of ours for
which all things else wore made, and to the
enjoyment, and improvement, and prolon
gation of which all things else should he
subsidiary,"
“Well, how about the sewer pipes?’
“Well, most pipes are laid down with
lateral openings for bousedrainage connec
tions —the theory being that the flush cur
rent along the central pipe and the outpour
from the house drains both flow at once like
the ebb-tide of a ri v &i with the uniting
streams from the lateral creeks. Now, in
fact, the flush current works like the flood
tide which eddies into the lateral creeks; so
that when you pour your flush cur
rent down a pipe every empty
lateral pipe is a point of eddy or out
flow operating more or less injuriously to
the extent of its lateral level or grade, be
muse just so much water backs into it from
the central pipe. Now, say there are 200
lateral openings and you get 200 times as
much eddying action as you would at each
opening. To obviate this, I put the open
ing for the house drain connections
on the top of the central iane
pipe, at the point of least resistance
to the downflow of the flush current, by
which I obtain clean sides and bottoms to
the lane pipe, do away with all possible
lateral eddying obstructive outflow of the
flush, and command the advantage of the
law of gravitation in keeping the contents
of the drain toward the inner bottom sur
face along which the flush current has free
expelling force.”
A Wonderful Food and Medicine.
Known and used by physicians all over the
world. Scott’s Emulsion not only gives
flesh and strength by virtue of its own nu
tritious properties, but creates an appetite
for food that builds up the wasted body. “I
have been using Scott’s Emulsion for seve
ral years, and am pleased with its action.
My patients say it is pleasant and ixilntab'e,
and all grow stronger and gain flesh from
the use of it. I use it in all eases of wasting
diseases, and it is specially useful for chil
dren when nutrient medication is needed, as
in marasmus.” T. \V. Pierce, M. D..

THE DAY AT THE THEATER.
The “Devil's Auction” Matinee -Opera
the Rest of the Week.
The “Devil’s Auction” played before big
houses yesterday and last night. It is a
drawing play, and it takes a big attraction
to keep the people away from It. The com
pany has always met with a satisfactory
reception in Savannah.
The Templeton Opera Company.
The rest of the week will be filled with
opera. The Templeton Opera Company
will open its engagement to-night with
“Mikado.” At to-morrow's matiue “Er
minie” will be given and to-morrow night
“Girofle-Girofla.” The reserved seat sale is
now in progress.
The company has been playing in Charles
ton. and the News and Courier says _of its
performance of “Mikado” thereon Wednes
day night: “The performance was re
markable in the respect that, with the ex
ception of that of Pooh Bah, all tiie lead
ing roles were interpreted in quite an orig
inal manner. The serio-comic vein that is
supposed to run through everything
that they ‘say and they sing’ in the
opera as it was written, is abandoned, ami
the treatment of the opera by this troupe is
on the lines of the broadly burlesque and
farcical. 1 stoking at the performance from
this standpoint, it was admirably conducted
throughout. There are certainly no phe
nomenal voices in the company, but the
dialogue is made extremely amusing. Mr.
Alf Whelen’s ‘Ko-Ko’ is without doubt one
of the most original characterizations ever
seen or heard in Charleston. He kept the
audience in real’s of laughter whenever he
said or sung or looked anything, and espe
cially with his facial contortions and odd
ities of action. The concerted pieces of the
opera were all well sung.”
THE IRISH PATRIOTS.
They Will Not Reach Savannah Much
Before Christmas.
The Irish envoys, Mr. Arthur O’Connor
and Sir Henry Grattan Esmond, will visit
only those cities to which they are formally
invited. So far they have been invited to
many of the most important cities south and
southwest of Richmond, including Savan
nah, Augusta, Nashville and Memphis. AG
lanta will probably issue its invitation this
week. These invitations are communicated
to the distinguished gentlemen through Sec
retary Sutton, of the national league.
The envoys will not be in Savannah much
before Christmas week.
THE DAY IN CHARLESTON.

Maj. B. H. Rutledge. Jr., of the Second
battalion, has appointed the following staff
of officers: G. S Fitzsimons, Adjutant; W.
G. Mazyck, Quartermaster; J. C. Mitchell,
Paymaster, and W. M. Muckenfuss, Ser
feant Major. Messrs. Fitzsimons and
litchell represent the Carolina Rifles, while
Messrs, Mazyck and Muckenfuss are from
the Sumter Guards. The first three have
the rank of Lieutenant, and the last named
the rank of Sergeant.
Charleston, bv reason of her proximity to
the ocean, has long been a port of call for
foreign and Northern yacht owners who an
nually cruise to the southward. Mr. Crid
iaud British Consul at Charleston, has re
ceived notice by letter of the departure of
the steam yacht Lady Beatrice from En
gland. The Beatrice is an English yacht,
and is bound for the Azores and the Ber
mutlas, after visiting which places she will
go to Charleston.
SAM HOUSTON'S SECRET.
Why He Deserted His Bride and Went
to Live Among the Indiana.
From the New York Sun.
St. Louis, Nov. 21. —The blank in the
history of the famous Sam Houston has at
last been filled up. It will be remembered
that after living some time among the Cher
okee Indians, and fighting in the war of
1812, he settled in Tennessee, began to prac
tice law, was twice elected to Congress, and
in 1527 was elected Governor of Tennessee,
awl in January, 1829, he was married to the
belle of Tennessee, and in less than two
months after his marriage lie suddenly
resigned the Governorship, deserted
bis wife and home, and disappeared.
This created an intense sensation through
out the country, as Houston was regarded
as the most premising man in the South.
The cause of Houston’s resignation of the
Governorship, his desertion of his bride,
and his abandonment of the path of civiliza
tion, has always been a mystery. He ye voi
re via led it himself to his civilized friends.
A staff correspondent of the St. Louis Re
publican, sent to Tahlequah, I. TANARUS., to write
up the Indian troubles, obtained from un
doubted authority facts that clear up this
mystery.
When Houston resigned the Governorship
he rode straight from Tennessee’s capital to
the Arkansas river. He fell in with a band
of Osage Indians near the present site of
Fort Gibson, told them lie desired to live
with the tribe, and he was welcomed. He
donned a breech clout and blanket, shaved
lus head to the crown, and daubed his face
with paint. He cut himself off entirely
from civilization and lived with the In
dians.
For a time he was a leader, and married
an Indian girl, but afterward lie became a
drunkard. While under the influence of
whisky he told the story of his flight from
Tennessee to John Jorley, an Indian com
panion. Jorley told it to Wolff Star, and
from the latter the correspondent got it.
Houston’s wife married him to please her
parents. Hhe had been previously engaged
to a young man in Nashville, but, under
parental influence, broke off the engage
ment and accepted Houston’s offer of mar
riage. and, in view of his prospects, it was
thought she had made a brilliant match.
He loved the young woman, and was made
to lielieve that she returned his affection.
Houston had no knowledge of the previous
engagement, and his wife managed to main
tain outward cheerfulness for some time.
He returned home one night übout 11 o'clock
and his wife was in bed and sho was weep
ing. The husband was solicitous and the
wife fretful. He asked what caused her
tears, and she gave no satisfactory answer.
He importuned her, and at last she told him.
She said sho was a bad, wicked woman;
that she did not love her husband, but loved
another man; that she never could love her
husband or forget the otlirr man, and that
her life was miserable. She confessed that
for some time before she had been engaged
to marry Houston she had maintained illicit
relations with the other man. Houston
never said a word, but immediately went to
his oflice, wrote his resignation as Governor,
saddled a horse and rode into the wilder
ness. This is the mystery of Houston’s life
as revealed by himself.
Houston kept a little store among the
Indians, ami always had a barrel of whisky
on tap. He drank all the time. In this way
he lived for a eouple of years. He Anally
went to Texas, where his brilliant career as
a sc ldier in the Texas war, as President of
the Texas republic and Senator from the
State of Texas is well known.

An Able Protector.
It there is a more able protector against the
incursions of disease than Hostetter’s Stomach
Bitters we have yet to learn of it. Against the
periodic attacks of fever and ague it affords a
sure defense, it renews waning vitality and
counteracts the infirmities of age; it prevents
dyspepsia from becoming chronic, and eventu
ally annihilates it. It rouses the liver and kid
neys when dormant, and insures a regular habit
*of body To the nervous it is of inestimable
benefit, imparting steadiness and vigor into an
enfeebled physique. The term “delicate health”
is usually another name for debility. While the
Bitters is procurable, tbe weak need never de
spairof physical re-enforcement. Persons whose
avocations are sedentary’ and laborious, or in
volve exposure to unfavorable climatic influ
ences, will also find the Bitters an able pro
tector.

TORTURE.
A Victim of Inflammatory Rheumatism
Cured by the Use of Prickly Ash,
Poke Root and Potassium.
Office Alapaha Star, I
Alapaha, Ga., June 9, 1888. f
P. P. P. iffy. Cos.:
Gentlemen— About nine months ago I
was attacked with inflammatory Rheu
matism in iny feet, hack, shoulders and
breast. The pains were excruciating
and continuous. For six w eeks I was
confined to my bed. and part of the time
had to he assisted to turn over. At times
1 could not sit up, if to do so would have
secured a fortune. My feet were swollen
and tiie bottoms of them so tender that
walking was a constant source of the
liveliest misery. It would he impossible
to express in words the agony I endured.
I tried a number of remedies, so-called,
and some of them afforded temporary
relief, Imt it was only temporary, and I
began to despair of finding a cure. I had
had heard several gentlemen speak of a
new Rheumatism cure manufactured at
V.aycross.and while 1 listened 1 doubted.
Finally I met two or three parties who
liau tried this new medicine and had
been cured, and I decided to procure a
pint of it and test its virtues. This I did,
and was satisfied I had been benefited.
Well, to make a long story short, I con
tinued to take the medicine until I had
used three an l a half quart bottles, im
{iroving all the while in my general
icalth, and noticing a steady decrease
in the Rheumatism. When the half of
the fourth quart was finished, 1 felt as
well as 1 ever did in iny life, with only
an occasional touch of Rheumatism,
and since taking the first quart 1 have
lteen able to attend to my duties in the
office, not having lost a moment since
on account of my former enemy.
i shall take two or three quarts more
of P. P. P., beginning about two months
from the time I left off taking it; jpid I
am confident that the last vestige of the
dreadful malady will be driven from my
system.
I do not say that P. P. P. wrought this
wonderful cure, but I do assert, most
emphatically, that 1 derived no perma
nent relief until after I took the first
bottle. Yours truly,
J. W. HANLON.

The ladies have doubtless read much of
the handsome diamond necklace of Mrs.
Cleveland, and while we xvouldn’t for a
moment insinuate that any lady envies its
popular possessor, still many would take
pleasure in at'least looking at it. A coun
terpart of this glorious string of gems, with
its lovely and dazzling pendant, can be in
speetid in the jewelry’ establishment of Mr.
M. Sternberg, 157 Broughton street, who
will take pleasure in exhibiting its charms
to everv lady who will honor him with a
visit. The necklace in question is to be
raffled, and in the interval it can be seen
and inspected as above. Besides the neck
lace, there are still many articles in Mr.
Sternberg’s treasure house that are worthy
of a visit, and the proprietor and his atten

show their immense stock of Jewelry, Dia

etc. There is no obligation to buy what
ever, and Mr. Sternberg will be equally
happy to show through those who do not
wish to buy as those who do. Everybody
should see the Diamond Necklace, as it is
certainly a superb collection of brilliant
gems. t)ur holiday displav is now arranged
for inspection. Respectfully,

standing tho heavy inroads made upon it.
We try to keep everything replenished and
up to the mark. Our Overcoat counters
have been struck heavy, but there are
plenty left. You can never get enough of
a good thing. Our patrons appreciate this,
for we have been careful to provide only
such clothing as would A>e a credit to seller

isn’t room for any complaint that we can
see. The Big Golden Arm beckons all
