TANGLED IN THE WIRES.
ALDERMEN GET MIXED UP ON
ELECTRICAL QUESTIONS.
The Belt Line and Electric Railway
Have a Lively Tussle for the Right
of the Weat Side of Weet Broad
Street and the Electrio Company
Wioe-The Mayor's Judgment Re
versed in the Schroeder Case—The
Mayor Takes tbe Council to Task
for Falling to Support Him la His
Effort to Enforce the Laws
The aldermen got tangled up with the
electric question last night, both in caucus
and regular meeting, and as a result of
tackling an unfamiliar subject the session
of oouncil lasted until Thanksgiving morn
ing.
All the trouble arose about two railroads
wanting to use the same side of A Vost Broad
street. The Belt Line gave notice that it
was prepared to begin the construction of
its double track on West Broad street to
Liberty, and wanted the use of the western
side of the street. Tne Electric Railway
Company also gave notice that it was ready
to build its West Broad sweat line, and
likewise wanted the western side. Both
roads were represented, the Belt Line by
Supt. Saussy and the Electrlo railway by
President J. & Collins.
Mr. Saussy was given the first opportu
nity to tell why he wanted to use the west
ern side of West Broad street. He claimed
a prior right, and preferred that side of the
street for various reasons. The Belt Line
originally intended to ask for the right of
douole-tracking West Broad street to Stone,
ana thence to Montgomery, which would
give a double track for nearly
two miles, but in making his calculations
Supt. Saussy had found the plan would not
be feasible, because a double traok to Stone
street would interfere with that portion of
West Broad street in front of the Central
depot and would interfere with the basses
and railroad hacks which wait there for
passengers.
THE ELECTRIC COMPAMY’B SIDE.
President Collins showed the disadvantage
which the Electrio road would
have to contend with in laying
its Wack on the eastern side. Two crossings
would have to be made at Liberty street,
one across the Belt Line and the other
across the City and Suburban and again
over the same road at Roberts street. Re
garding the interference with the busses
(here Is plenty of room for them on Rail
road street. Mr. Collins said it looks as if
every time the Electric Rail* ay attempts
to make any sort of a move it
is met witb all sorts of hardships.
He cited the faot that in laying
its Price street traok over $1,500 was ex
pended iu burying and returreoting it to
conform with the ordinanoe, wnile other
roads could put their tracks aa high as they
pleased.
Supt. Alley of the City and Suburban
railway spoke against the building of a
track on the west side of West Bread street
because his road has a spur traok near the
Central depot and there wouldu’i be any
room left between the street and curb if
another track is laid.
Ald*r:nan Cann didn't think the City
and Suburban spur track should be con
sidered in the question at all. It is seldom
used, and is in a bad condition generally,
and there is no reason why it oouldn’t be
put on the eastern side.
In order to bring the matter to an issue,
Alderman Bailey moved that the Electric
railway be grained the use of the west side
ot West Broad street. Alderman Rsid
seconded the motion.
THE PUBLIC MUST HAVE A CHANCE.
Alderman Haines said he was always in
favor of helping enterprises, but he'felt
compelled to vote against tbe motion, be
cause it it passed the busses and backs
wouldn’t have room to stand outside of tbe
Central depot, and he Is opposed to inoon
vemencing the public to sSit a street rail
road.
Alderman Rsid said that be considered
tbe busses and baoks in front of the Central
railroad a nuisance which should have been
abated long ago. Railroad street is the
proper plaoe for the vehicles. There is
plenty of room for them there, and any
how it is an unsightly thing to have a lot of
busses and old baoks standiug on one of the
principal thoroughfares.
Alderman O’Brien didn't agree with his
Fourth distrlot colleague. West Broad
■trset he considers the natural passenger
outlet of the Central railroad, and tbe
busses have a right there. Again if the
Electric company ihould be granted tbe
west side of the street the Nelson Morris &
Cos. people would be interfered with in the
transactiou of their buelness, because the
delivery wagons wouldn't have room to
stand in front of the establishment He
gave notice that he intended to oppose
Alderman Bailey’s motion.
ROOM ENOUGH FOR THE BUSSES.
Alderman Bailey (aid there would be as
much, it not more, room on West Broad
street with the Electric railway along the
west side as there is now on Whitaker street,
where the City and Suburban has its turn
outs.
Alderman O’Brien knew as well as be did,
he said, that where the turnouts are looated
on Whitaker street residents haven’t room
enough to keep a buggy in front of their
homes.
Alderman O’Briea auswered that the City
and Suburban was granted the turnout
privileges at a time when he wet a private
citizen, and therefore he is in no wag re
sponsible for tbe present condition of af
fairs.
"I am getting a little tired of this thing,
anyhow," said Alderman O’Brien. “It has
narrowed down to the question of which
railroad owns West Broad street, and the
city’s rights are being ignored almost en
tirely. The citizens who own vehicles and
horses ought to have a little soy in the affair.
I am in favor of making the railroads use
tbe same track as far as practicable.”
wanted to postpone.
Alderman Cann agreed with the First
district representative, and moved as a
substitute for Alderman Bailey’s motion
that action be postponed until the next
regular meeting, and an opinion he secured
from the city attorney as to the right of
the city to compel both roads to use the
same track as far as Liberty street.
This brought a kick from the railroad
people. They said it would be a practical
impossibility because both roads operated
different systems.
Alderman Bailey could see a two years’
discussion ahead if Alderman Cann’s sui -
stitute prevailed, and Alderman O’Brien
wanted to know why two separate trolleys
couldn’t be erected.
Then followed a general discussion about
trolleys, crossings, underground wires, cur
rents, etc., which showed that the electrical
education of most of the aldermen had been
neglected. If any electrical experts had
been present, they would have undoubtedly
felt tired. Most of tbose who listened to
the discussion did so feeL
Finally the question on Alderman Cann’s
substitute was called for, and it was lost.
COLLINS’ LINK GXTS IT.
The original motion of Alderman Bailey
then came up and Alderman Haines de
manded the yeas and nays, with the follow
ing result:
Yeas— Aldermen Bailey, McGuire, Reid, Mills
and Harris.
Nays—Aldeflfcen Harmon, Cann, Haines and
O’Brien.
In voting no Alderman Harmon said his
reasons were that he didn’t want the busses
and hacks interfered with, and Alderman
Reid, in voting yes, said he voted that way
to put the busses and backs on Railroad
street, where they properly belong.
When Aldorman Harris' name was called
be arose And said: *’Mr. Clerk, I vote yes,
without any explanation of my vote."
This caused a general titter among the
spectators, and a slight look of surprise on
the faces of some of his colleagues.
_ The Bslt Line letter was read again at
the conclusion of the vote and explana
tions on Alderman Bailey’s motiou, and
again the aldermen manage! to get them
eelvee in an entanglement. Some of them
wanted to receive the letter and grant the
requests, and, in fact, a motion was
made to that effect. It took con
siderable explanations to con vinoe
a few members that it was impossible to
allow another traok on tbe west side of
West Broad after granting the right only a
few minutes before to tbe electrio railway.
THE SCHROEDER APPEAL CASE.
The Schroeder appeal case from tbe police
court, in which tbe defendant was fined $5
by Mayor McDonough for allowing slope to
be thrown from his premises into tbe street,
resulted in the acquittal of .Schroeder and
brought forth some pointed remarks from
Mayor MoDonough to the board.
Sanitary Inspector Melville testified that
Mrs. Schroeder bad refuted to discontinue
the throwing of slop water into tbe street
after being warned, and said she wanted to
tie put on tbe docket to get the question
before Mayor McDonough. T. S. Morgan,
Jr., Esq . represented Schroeder and argued
that although tbe case might be
a technical violation of the ordinance, yet
aa long as the city has no place provided
for the reception of such stuff and that it
hadn’t been proved that the water wasn't
filthy his client should be acquitted. Coun
cil agreed with him, as the following vote
will show on a motion to sustain the mayor’s
decision:
Yeas— Aldermen Mills. Charlton and O'Brien.
Nays— Aldermen Bailey, Harmon, McGuire,
Reid, Harris and Cano.
THE MAYOR BATS SOMETHING.
After tbe case was disposed of Mayor
McDonough arose, and, addressing the
board, spoke as follows:
“I have been trying to enforce the laws
as I find them on the statute books, and if
my construction has beeu wrong I would be
pleased to be corrected by oouncil and in
formed how to act. I fined Mr. Schroeder
under tbe same section and I have
fined dozens of other people for
throwing slops in the street, and in view of
to-nights refusal to sustain me, I think It
would be only fair and just to these people
that their fines be remitted. I would like to
know what instructions to give the Bani
tary inspectors. I have construed
tbe law to the best of my ability,
and if that construction isn’t wrong 1 think
I should be upheld. Shroeder admitted la
the police court that be knew he was violat
ing the law in allowing slops to be thrown
Into the street."
The remarks started all tbe aldermen to
looking up the lass. Alderman Cann was
the first to speak. He didn’t think it right
for the city of Savannah to fine any one for
throwing water into the streets when it
doesn’t provide anv other means to dispose
of it.
Alderman Charlton was direotly opposite
in his views lie thinks the sanitary lans,
above all others, should be enforced strlotly
to the letter.
Nothing came of tbe discussion except the
reopening of the bouse drainage question.
THE WATER WORKS CONTRACTS.
The oohtracts for tbe water works were
awarded. The Renssaeler Valve Company
got tbe water gates oontract for (4.800, and
Martin Cooley was awarded tbe laying of
the pipes at toe figures published in yester
day’sJtfoßNiNO News.
An ordinance was introduced by Aider
man Harmon providing for the shelling of
streets running north and south. The
streets will be decided upon before the next
meeting.
A r. solution was read from the fruit
dealers of the city asking council to prohibit
the sale of fruit from push carts. It was
referred to the committee on finance.
Tha Beat Authorities,
Suoh as Dr. Dio Lewis, Prof. Gross, and
others, agree that catarrh is not a local, but

it.

DRILL OF THE HUSSAR3.
The Troopers Will Not Disappoint
Lieut. Satterlee at Their Inspection.
The Georgia Hussars held their weekly
carbine drill last night. Despite it being
the eve of Thanksgiving day and a number
of the members of the company off on
bunting and other exclusions, there was a
good attendanoe m the ranks.
The Hussars have made such rapid ad
vances in the carbine drill, owing to the
earnoet efforts of Capt. Beirne Gordon, that
few of the infantry companies can afford to
offer them any odds now. Wnile drilling
on Bull street last night they were noticed
by Lieut. Satterlee of the United States
army, who commented favorably upon
their appearance, and said he doubted there
is any other Cavalry company iu tne state
that can do as well.
It is in the manual of the carbine that the
Hussars show the greatest advancement.
Their test drills last night iu the hall after
the open air drill were very fine, and the
manner in whioh the men acquitted them
selves in the manual and the firings would
have surprised any one who hod not seen
their drill in the last three months.
Capt. Gordon has been greatly assisled in
his efforts to improve the company’s drill
by Quartermaster Sergeant Strobhar, who
has lately accepted that position. The Hus
sars are not likely to prove a disappoint
ment to Lieut. Satterlee when it comes to
inspection.

LIEUT. BATTEBLBE IN TOWN.
He Will Speed Thanksgiving With
the Cad eta at Tybee.
Lieut. C. b. Satterlee of tbe United States
army arrived in the oity yesterday morn
ing from Maooo. and registered at tbe De
Soto. Re ts now engaged in an inspection
of the state troops.
The special object of Lieut. Satterlee’*
visit to Savannah is to be present at ths
skirmish firing practice of ths Cadets at
Tybee to-day. He spent yesterday
afternoon at Tybee with Capt. Brooks
reviewing the ground and making prepara
tions for to-day’s praotioe. Lieut. Satterlee
is very anxious to be with the Cadets in
their skirmish tiring practice, as it is the
only company in the state that goes through
this nraotice, and probably the only c m
pany of state troops m the United States
that does k>.
A Morning News reporter had a short
talk with Lieut. Batteries at the De Sote
last night. He is a very pleasant gentleman
as well at a most capable officer.
He began his inspection of tbe state volun
teer troops S*pt 26 and since that time be
has inspected thirty-eight companies, of
w hich five were colored and thirty-three
white. In reed .use to the inquiry as to what
showing the companies made, be said that
most of them did very well considering their
opportunities, some better than others.
The Macon companies made a good show
ing.
i boae companies which attended the state
encampment showed the effect of the train
ing they received there to a wonderful ex
tent.
Lieut. Satterlee has completed the in
spection of the companies in tbe northern
portion of the state and is now engaged io
inspecting the companies west and south of
Macon. Ho will shortly visit Eatonton,
Talbotton, Dawson, Mllledgeville, Stevens’
Pottery and other companies in the neigh
borhood of Macon. After completing his
inspection in that quarter he will take the
companies from Augusta td Savannah and
along tbe line of the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway. The .Savannah com
panies will be the last inspected.
Lieut. Satteriee says he makes it a point
to give ths companies several weeks’ notice
in advance of the inspection that they may
have full time to prepare. He is anxious
that every company should make tbe best
possible showing. He has not inspected any
of tbe colored companies exospt the five in
Augusta. There are eight colored com
panies in Savannah, however, or more than
one-third of the number in the
state. Lieut. Satterlee said the stand
ard of the colorod companies Is not
very high. His tour of inspection is no
pionlc, and is in faot just about os bard
work, the lieutenant says, as be ever did.
He has been endeavoring to average one
company a day, but has not been able to do
so on account of the difficulty in making
railroad connections. He has been com
pelled to get up at alt hours ot the morning
to catch trains. Having reached a town be
spends two hours in the afternoon with the
officers of the company to be Inspected, and
two hours again with the company at night.
There is a good deal more work than play
in this.
With regard to tbe new military tactics.
Lieut. Satteriee said he it afraid they will
be disappointing to the state troops. Tbs
“fancy” business is done away with alto
§ ether and there will bo uo more prize
rills. On this account Lieut. Satterlee
fears the service will prove loss attractive
to the volunteers, beiog too much like busi
ness and with too little attractiveness.
Some of the new movements, he thinks,
will not find favor with the volunteers.
There are many improvements though, in
the new taotics, ho said.
Lieut. Satterlee expects to finish hie in
spection by tbe middle of February. He
is now engaged in compiling a military oodo
of the state which will be the first one pub
lished. Tbe adjutant genera) has just com
piled a register of the officers of the volun
teer troops, which is similar to that of the
tegular United States army register. It will
give the lineal rank of the officers of tbe
several arms of the service—artillery. In
fantry and Cavalry, and will show their
rank in several grades.
The last report of the adjutant general
showed tbe total strength of Georgia’s vol
unteer troops to bs 4,012 men. These were
divided as follows: The whits volunteers,
all arms, officers and men, 2,962; the oolorsa
volunteers, all arms, 1,050.

tional alliance at Indianapolis, and the in
dividual indorsements of the presidents of
the Texas, Kentucky, North Carolina, Mis

numerous projects anil schemes for govern
ment aid that came before that body Sa
vannah’s movemeut for deep w ater wai the
only one whioh received its indorsement.
This speaks volumes in itself for ths effort.
THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE BACKING.
The indorsement os the national allianoe
is as follows:
WHERKAS.The state of Georgia has petitioned
tbe congress of the United States to oomplete
at as early date as possible the improvement
upon the river and harbor at Savannah. Ua.

Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Union indorse

merce of the entire country, aud requests the
national congress to grant tbe appropriation
asked.
Adopted. J. H. Turner, Secretary,
National F. A. and I. U.
As Capt. Purse says, this ft the big gun.
President Jones of the Texas nTUsucs
"spreads himself,” so to speak, in hit full
and hearty indorsement of the effort. He
speaks as follows:
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 21, 1891.
To Whom it May Concern:
One of the most important features of suc
cessful commerce is transportation. No erstein
of transportation can be complete without a
sufficient number of accessible deep water porta.
No country can become wealthy and prosperous
without a good volume of exports and imports,
and a system of exportation aud importation
cannot exist without proper harbors, deep, safe
and of easy access.
The commerce of the south and west has
long been hampered for want of competitive
seaports, which will not only facllitito
but cheapen transportation, thereby putting
money in the pockets of the prouucor and sav
ing money to the consumer. It Is for these
reasons that I heartily indorse the effort now
being made to secure an appropriation from
tbe general government witb which to oom
plete the Improvement at the Savannah harbor
so that deep draught sea going vessels may en
ter that important port in safecy This will
eventually result in a direct line of trade with
foreign nations from this tbe finest city on our
South Atlantic coast, and will not only ma
terially aid in the equitable distribution of the
fruits of labor, and greatly benefit the rapidly
Increasing commerce of tbe west and south,
but will be of great benefit to tbe nation at
large.
1 would also be pleased to know that those
people who were interested in the improveineat
of the port of Galveston add their effort to the
work in behalf of the port of Savannah aa a
recognition of the national aid given to tbe port
of Galveston by the citizens of tbe west and of
tbe South Atlantic states.
Therefore I earnestly request those senators
and representatives from my own state, and all
who recognize the importance of Improved
commercial facilities, to aid the senators and
representatives from Georgia in their efforts to
secure an ample appropriation from congress
with which to complete the work already begun
upon the river aud harbor at Savannah. Ga.
Evans Jones, President,
Farmers' State Alliance of Texas.
KENTUCKY WITH US.
President Gardner of the Kentucky state
allianoe speaks short and to the point:
Nov. 21, IB9i.
To Whom it May Concern:
1 earnestly indorse the movement to secure
the permanent and complete improvement of
the port of Savannah, Ga., aod feel sure that
those members of congress, who aid In securing
an adequate appropriation for this purpose win
be doing a great service to the country at large.
T. T. Gardner,
President F. A. and I. U. of Kentucky.
President L. Leonard of the Missouri al
lianoe speaks in favor of a deep water port
on the South Atlantic as follows:
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 21,1891.
Mr. 11. C. Brown :
Dear Sir—l am pleased to know that you are
succeeding in your efforts la behalf of the port
of Savannah. We must have a deep water port
on the South Atlantic coast, and I earae tly
request the senators and representatives from
my state to aid the senators and rvpreseatatives
from Georgia in their efforts to secure the nec
essary appropriation to complete the Improve
ment upon that Important port as early as i>os
sible. L. Leonard,
President Missouri State F. A. and I. U,
north Carolina’s willing aid.
President Marion Butler of the North
Carolina state alliance indorses the move as
follows:
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 21, 1891.
Mr. H. C. Brown:
Dear Sir—Believing that vour state Is right
in her efforts to secure an immediate improve
ment of the river and harbor at Savannah so
that deop draft vassels may enter that port in
safety and that direct trade may lie established
with foreign ports, I willingly add my indorse
ment to the appeal of Georgia to the oungroas
of the United States for an adequate appro
priation to complete the work, ana requoetthe
Benatora and represenlatiyes from ray own
state to aid those from Georgia In their efforts
to secure the said appropriation.
Marion Butler,
President North Carolina State Alliance.
Kansas is certainly with us. President
W. H. Biddle of the state alliance gives his
indorsement as follows:
Nov. 21, 1891.
Mr. 11. C. Brown:
Lear Bia-That we need competitive seaports
and a better outlet for our commerce, both
south and west, is certain. I believe that im
proving the port of Savannah. Ga., will be a
benefit to our whole nation, and 1 earnestly in
dorse the movement requesting the members of
congress from my state to assist in securing
the necessary appropriation from congress.
W. H. Biddle.

FROM FAR OFF MICHIGAN.
Michigan to the far north is with us
also. President Belden of that state
speoks as follows:
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 21, 1891.
ifr. H. C. Brown:
Dear Sir—Believing that your state is right
in her efforts to secure an immediate improve
ment ol the river and harbor at Suvannab. so
that deep draught vessels may outer that port
in safety, and that direct trade may be estab
tabilshed with foreign ports, I willingly add my

THE H ANRIS’NECK EPIDEMIC.
Darien's Health Board Has Been Fight
ing the Disease All Along. -
Health Officer Clark of Darien feels a lit
tle aggrieved that tha marine hospital ser
vice should have been called upon to take
hold of the small-pox epidemic at Harris’
Neck by the health officer of another city,
after Mclntosh county had been flghlng it
for some time and was holding the disease
in check.
Dr. Clark made a statement of the case to
a Savannah gentleman who returned from
Darien yesterday. He said the first case
developed at Darien Aug. 18. Sain Fraser
(oolored) was the;victim.
Justice P. C. Dolly and Schoolmaster
Walker, two oolored residents, reported to
Mayor Walker of Darien Oct, 17 that there 4
were several cases of small-pox at Harris’
Neok, Health Officer Clark at onoe tele
graphed for 400 vaccine points, and on their
receipt be went to the infected;dittrict.
He found fourteen houses with peoplesuf
fsrlng from the disease and he vaccinated
238 people.
Dr. Clark appointed Justice Dolly local
health offioer and had him assisted by three
guards to keep the families apart, and
nlaced two watohmen at Han is’ Neok
bridge to keep people away. From Harris’
Neck Dr. Clark went to Eagle’s Neck and
Contentment, two small villages, and vac
cinated sixty-four people.
Health Officer Clark denies that the peo
ple at Harris’ Neck are in want. Ha said
they have good crops of corn, pease, pota
toes and rioe, and are an unusually thrifty
olass of negroes, most of them owning their
farms. Mayor Walker sent SBO worth of
provisions to the stricken district Nov. 7,
and Darien, he says, has already spent $2,000
in fighting the disease.
