2 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.. Knoxville, Ala. 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. Thanksgiving Happenings In South Carolina's Chief City. The Charleston Sailors’ Home will lie com pleted and ready for use by the middle of December. Rev. Thomas Boone, rector of Christ church, preached at St. Luke’s, in Charles ton, yesterday. The Rev. F. P. Kerrick, fonnerly a Cath olic priest of Charleston, is now in charge of the Catholic mission at Pipestone City, Minn. 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.

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. State or AViatbeh.
