TBB CITY'S SANITARY CONDITION
Medical Director LeHor dy Makes
Some Remarks to the Mayor.
Editor Morning Neva: lam thankful to
Mayor McDnough for the opportunity
given nu by the Interview published this
day in the Morning News to put the Citi
gens' Sanitary Association in its proper
light before our people, because up to this
tune public opinion has been shaped ad
versely to us by those who behove that we
are attempting to usurp or Interfere with
the functions of the city authorities, while
in reality our only object is to proteot the
Interests of our citizeus agaiust dangers to
their health, and to assist these authorities
by pointing out defects id sanitary work
undertaken by them, and to advise them as
to what has been neglected or overlooked.
Our association works upon a systematic
plan. A public health committee composed
of four physicians,meets every week to look
into the re:>orts male by a paid sanitary in
spector, whose duty is to inquire into every
sanitary m itter brought to bis attention by
tbe committee, or coming under his observ
ation in any way. He writes to the proper
authorities concerning any complaints of
nuisances coming within their jurisdiction.
Such parts of his reports as the committee
thinks it would be useful to make Dublicare
published woekly.
Our association has also as one of its offi
cers a medical director, ex-oflloio chairman
of the health committee. His duties are to
inquire into all matters affecting the publio
health.to make a oritical examination of tbe
city aud its surroundings and to report to
the association whenever the occasion de
mands it. He has also to make an annual
report upon all matters affecting the health
of the people of Savannuh. The Btatoments
to which tbe mayor tak >s exception are a
part of bis last annual report
This report, which tbe mayor says is ex
aggerated, is based upon personal inspection
of every foot of the grouud spoken of,
upOD the published abstracts of tbe annual
reports of city officials and upon such other
information as could be obtained from
some of them.
Of the true condition of the land and
wharves belonging to railroad corporations
our citizens have been mode cognizaut by
the ofteD repeated reports of Inspector Des
vergers, published in the Morning News.
It Is not after a long dry spell like the
present that the true condition of these
lands can be ascertained. They must be
seen at all seasons; but even now, if the
mayor will take tne trouble to carefully In
spect his domains, he will find that tbe
lands adjacent to the wharves of tbe Savan
nah, Florida and, Western railway, which
were formerly beautifully drained when
cultivated in rice, are covered with rank
and decaying vegetation and six to eight
inoheß of stagnant water in placet. If he
goes to the Central railroad wharves ho will
find tracts of wet and foul land, and that
under a large part of the wharves them
selves floating filth accumulates and putre
fies.
In regard to the ’mayor’s criticism of my
report on privy vaults, I have only to say
this: That my figures were obtained from
the persou best qualified to furnish them,
namely, Supt. Cleary of the O. E. depart -
ment. According to his detailed statement,
there are now 1,828 double and single vaults
io the territory bounded by East Broad and
West Bread, River and Anderson streets,
besides 2,121 outside of these streets, where
tbey have been counted, and 700 more by
estimate. There was then work enough for
all tho teams of the O. E. department during
tbe whole of last year.
Furthermore, the mayor says that durlDg
the past ten years 25 per cent, of all the
vaults in the city have been abandoned
(probably meaning the central part). I pre
sume that he has facts and figures to sub
stantiate this statement, and I hope that he
will publish them for publio information.
They will prove that ten years ago there
were in the central part of the city more
than 7,800 vaults! A bad showing, truly, for
Savannah’s sanitary condition at that time,
but what bearing has it on tbe present re
port?
To paint tbe city black in 1882 does not
paint it white in 1892, nor will it avert.com
ing dangers.
Tbe expressions of this afternoon’s Press
show such utter ignorance of sanitary mat
ters on the part of tbe persons interviewed
and are so vague that I cannot waste the
time for a reply. J. C. LeHahdy,

tho'j. 0 r >■ details the modus operandi:
BTlce used is tho Carpenter electric oar
heater, four of which are used iu a car, and
consists of a thin plate of cast iron 2 feet
long, 4 inches wide and an eighth of an inch
in thickness. There are two sets of resist
ances on each plate. The resistance :s made
of German silver ire plaoed iu porcelain
coating, fastened on the plate. The por
celain or enamel serves to insulate the wires
from the plate, and also prevents consump
tion by electrolysis and oxidation of the
resistance wires. This plate is secured in a
substantial manner to the support of the
seat just hack of the passenger, and is sur
rounded by open grate work, which com
pletely protects the olotbing, but does not
obstruct the free radiation of heat from ther
plate. The two resistances are of three am
pere* and 1% amperes capacity, respec
tively. The three amperes’ resistances are
connected in series with each other in the
car, and the heat evolved from the passage
of the current through them Is distributed
equally to each plate or heater. The I><-
ampere resistances are connected and oper
ated in the same manner. Thus different
temperatures can be given to the car by the
use of two simple switches. By turning on
both heat would be given off from the con
sumption of 4% amperes
AVERY MAN HIS OWN UN GINK.
A Novel Railway Between Mount
Holly and fimlthvilie, N. J.
From the Phttadelvhia Record .
Probably the oddest passenger railway in
the country is now being constructed in
New Jersey, between Mount Holly and
Smithville, and is known as tbe Bicycle
Railway Company, It will be about two
miles in length, and its construction,
including the right of way, which
has already been secured, will cost about
SIO,OOO. It will probably be the cheapest
road to maintain as far as operating ex
penses are concerned, as it will require no
engines,firemen, brakemen or conductors.
Each passenger will furnish his own mo
tive power, aud can whizz along at the rate
of a mile in three minutes or go as muon
Blower as be wishes. There will be two
tracks, one for north and the other for
south bound bicycles, so that all danger of
a collision is avoided. The run
from one town to the other can be
easily made in six minutes. The depots
will be provided with a number of side
tracks, on which the bicycles will stand
when not In use. The road will start with
seventy-five or a hundred machines, which
resemble inverted bioyclee on top of a fence.
The inventor is Arthur H. Hotchkiss of
New Haven, Conn., who is confident that
the scheme will be a success.
THE ROADWAY.
The track is built by bedding crossties 3
by feet long iu the ground once in six
feet, aud erecting upon them a post and
rail structure about B>s feet high of dressed
yellow pine lumber. The post is secured to
the crossties by means of bolts and angle
irons. Narrow wooden stringer pieces con
nect tbe posts, and the top stringer piece
has a T-shaped rail screwed on it on which
the bicycle rung. This railroad requires for
its use a special form of bicycle, although
the ordinary saddle, handle, bar and pro
pelling mechanism are employed.
In tho upper part of the frame are two
grooved wheels,which run one in advanceof
the other on a single track rail. The posi
tion of the saddle is between tbe wheels, so
that the rider is carried above the track
way and astride the track supporting struct
ure. The handle bar is located in front of
the rider in the usual manner, and while
not required for balancing or steering,
serves to steady the rider and to
assist when propelling rapidly. The frame
is made double. It extends downward be
low the track rail on opposite sides of ihe
track structure about two and a half feet,
aud has at the lower end small guide wheels
running Horizontally on opposite sides of
the lower striuger piece of tho traekway to
keep the machine in an upright position.
LADIES WAY RIDE.
The driving wheel in front of the rider is
about twenty inches in diameter, and is
connected with a rachet and chain to tho
propelling treadles, which are located at the
lower pare of the frdmo on either side of
the track structure. The machine is geared
up by its ratchet mechanism to a higher
speed than is practloable in the ordinary
road bicycles. Other forms of vehioles for
use in connection with this system have
been devised, so that ladles may ride them
or several passengers may bs carried at a
time.
It is proposed in most cases to construct
the system in such a way that much heav
ier vehicles than the present ones may te
used in the event of the machines being
operated by electricity. An important fea
ture of the system is that the bicycles can
not jump the track and any one can ride
them without previous experience. The
track, being elevated, is adapted to use at
all seasons of tbe year and at night
when the ordinary road bicycle would be
impracticable or dangerous. Road cross
ings are effected by slightly raising the road
to allow the track to go under, or the track
may be easily elevated. The road will cross
the Rancocas creek ten miles by means of
bridges in the short distanoe of two miles.
TRAVEL WILL BE HEAVY.
There are about 100 persons employed at
Smithville who live in Mount Holly, and
nearly all of them will travel on
the new railway. The commutation
rates of fare will be 5 cents, and
it is estimated that it will pay a dividend
tbe first year, as tbe operating expenses will
be comparatively nominal, and it will he
the cheapest road to maintain in the world.
Col. C. S. Sims, a brother of Secretary
Sims of tbe Pennsylvania railroad, is one
of the directors of tbe bicycle railway, and
other men of prominence are interested in
the plan, which, they think, will be a suc
cess.
Inventor Hotchkiss is already negotiating
for the building of a similar railway at Chi
cago, to be in operation during tbe world’s
fair. He declined a very flattering offer
from a syndicate nt Coney Island for the
reason that he would not consent to the ma
chines being operated on Sunday.
A heroic TRAMP.
He Subdued a Fire Only to be Killed
By a Brakeman.
FYom the JVew York Times.
Louisville, Ky„ Feb. 6.—WorthvlUe,
fifty milts east of this city, is iu a state of
excitement over the killing of a tramp who
e: cleared himself to the citizens. Wortb
vllle hod a big fire yesterday, and, being
unprovided with a fire department, the
bucket brigade was making little headway
with the flames, when a strange tramp vol
unteered his services and took the manage
ment of tho fire. He handled his men so
skillfullv and worked so wonderfully well
himself that the flames were soon subdued,
aud with comparatively little loss.
Tbe grateful citizens at onoe took up a
collection for the brave volunteer, and pre
sented him with a $5 bill to pay his
his way to Louisville, whither he said he
was tramping.
A freight train ooming along the hero
boarded It. It had been gone but a few
minutes when a man came running back
with tbe information that J. M. Richards,
brakeman, had shot the tramp to death.
A crowd went to the scene, and found tho
body of tbe tramp lying on the side of the
track with a bullet bole through the head.
The town marshal took the express train,
overtook the freight, and arrested Richards.
He stated that he had caught two men rid
ing on the train and bad attempted to make
them get off. They would not do so, and
showed fight, aud he bad fired at the man
just to frighten him. He had no intention
of shooting him. The citizens of Worth
ville were very much worked up over the
killing, and some eten made threat* of mob
violence. J

How Thermometers Are Made—The
Freezing Point is Marked by Means
of a Bath in the Snow—Mechanical
Means of Graduation.
Front Die Pittsburg Dispatch.
The making of a thermometer may be
either a delicate scientifio operation, or one
of tbe simplest tasks of tbe skilled
mechanic, according to the sort of
thermometer made. With the extremely
sensitive and minutely accurate instru
ments designed for scientific uses great care
is taken, and they are kept in stock for
months, sometimes for years, to be com
pared and recompared with instruments
that are known to be trustworthy.
But so much time cannot be spent over
the comparatively cheap thermometers in
common use, and these are made rapidly
though always carefully. The method of
manufacture has been so system I zed within
a few years that the very cheapest ther -
mometer should not vary more than a frac
tion of a degree from the correct point.
Whether, tbe thermometer is to be
charged with mercury or alcohol; whether
it is to mounted in a frame of wood, pressed
tin or brass, tbe process is substantially tbe
sama Mercury generally is used for scien
tific instruments, but most makere prefer
alcohol, because it is much cheaper. The
alcohol is ooiored red with an aniline dye
which does not fade.
WORK OF THE GLASSB LOWERS,
The thermometer maker buys his glass
tubes in long strips from the glass factories.
The glassblower on the premises cute these
tubes iu the proper lengths, and with his
gas jet and blow-pipe makes the bulb on tbe
lower end. The bulbs are then filled with
ooiored alcohol, aud the tubes stand for
twenty-four hours. Ou the following day
another workman holds each bulb in turn
over a gas jet until the ooiored fluid, by its
expansion, entirely fills tbe tube. It then
goes back into tbe hands of the glassblower.
lie closes the upper end and turns the tip
backward to make the llttlo glass hook
which will help koep the tube iu place la
the frame.
The tubes now rest until some hundreds
of them, perhaps thousands,are ready. Then
the proco.-s of gauging begins. There are
no marks whatover upon tbo tube, nothing
to show the temperature of tho atmosphere,
and the first guide mark to be made is the
freezing point, 82° Fahr. This is
found by plunging the bulbs into melting
snow. No other thermometer is needed
here for a guide, for melting snow gives in
variably the exaot freezing point. This is
an unfailing test for any thermometer
whose accuracy may be suspected. But
melting snow is not always to be had, and a
little machine resembling a sausage grinder
is brought into use. This machine shaves a
block of ice iuto fleecy, snow-liko particles,
which answer the purpose as well as snow.
GETTING THE FREEZING POINT.
When the bulbs have been long enough
In tho melting snow a workman takes them
one by one from their icy bath, seizing each
one so that bis thumb nail marks tho exact
spot to which the fluid has fallen. Here he
makes a scarcely perceptible mark upon tbe
glass with a fine file, and goes on to the
next.
The tubes, with the freezing point marked
upon each, now go into the hands of another
workman, who plunges them, bulo down,
into a vessel filled with water, kept con
stantly at 04°. A standard thermometer
attached to the inside of this vessel shows
that the temperature of the water is correct
Another tiny scratch is put at 04.
Then a third workman plunges the bulbs
into another vessel of water, kept constantly
at 96 s . This is marked like the others, and
the tube is uow supplied with these guide
marks, each 32° from the next. A small
tab is then attached to each tube, on which
its number is written, for owing to una
voidable variations in the bore of the tube
each one varies slightly from the other.
With its individuality thus established,
tho tube now goes Into the hands of a
marker, who fits its bulb and hook into the
frame it is to occupy, and makes slight
soratches on the frame,corresponding to 32°,
54° and 96° marks on the tube. The
frame is given a number corresponding
with the number of the tube, aud the tube
is laid away in a rack amid thousauds of
others.
MARKING OFF THE DEGREES.
The frame, whether it be wood, tin or
brass, goes to tbe gauging room, where it
is Uid upon a steeply-sloping table, exactly
in the position marked for a thermometer
of that size. The 32°, 64° and 96° marks
must correspond with the marks upon tbe
table; if they do not tbe error in marking is
instantly detected, and the frame is sent
back for correction.
A long, straight bar of wood or metal ex
tends diagonally across the table, from tho
lower right-band corner to the upper left
hand corner. On the right this works upon
a pivot, and on the left it rests in a rachet,
which lets it ascend or desoend only one
notch at a time. That notch marks the ex
act distance of 2°. With the three
scratches already made for a hash the
marker could hardly make a mistake in tbe
degrees if be tried.
Tbe marks made upon the frame or oase
are all made by hand with a geometric pen
r id India ink if the frame Is of wood, and
with steel dies if it is of metaL
The tube bearing the corresponding
number is next attached to the frame, and
the thermometer is ready for the market
without further testing. Some makers use
only two guide marks, but the best makers
use three.
Iu the prooesi of manufacture the ordin
ary thermometer goes through the hands of
niueteen workmen, half of whom are often
girls or women.
Some of the larger concerns in and near
New York produce several hundred thou
sand instruments annually, and on every
one of them the purchaser may see, if he
looks closely, the tiny file scratch on the
glass at 32 s , 64° aud 96“ marks—or
somewhere near them, as different makers
use different points.

“Yes.”
“I should think he would see snakes.”

AFTER THE GRIPPE.
The Grip Responsible for More Deaths After
lleco.ery Than Poring Iu Course—Uow
to Avoid Ihe Danger.
Grippe in itself is bad enough. debilitating
enough, but it is the after effect*, tbe slowness
of recovery that give# it is great danger. In
most cases thejperson did not have sufficient
vitality to rally after the disease Itself had
passed. The force* of nature were too weak to
contend with the debility which tbe Grip had
left.
It ia aad to think how many people have died
who migbt have been saved if na’ure bad been
properly aaaiated and fortified after tbe Grip
bad been driven from tbe ayateni. Many physi
cians realized this fact, and assisted their pa
tients over tho dangerous after effects by
bracing up and stimulating their systems. This
was and can be done in but one way, and that
la by the ateaJy and moderate use of same pure,
yet powerful, stimulant. There is but one ab
solutely pure and medicinal stimulant known
to the profession aud to tbe public, and tnat is
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. The most promi
nent scientists and physicians of tbe land indorse
its purity and value. It Is not anew whiskey, it
lias been before the public for years. It ia not
a cheap decoction, but a pure distillation. It
imparts a tone to the system possible in no
other manner, and sends the blood coursing
through the reins with renewed vigor It is
superior iu every respect, and however much
any unscrupulous druggist or grocer may seek
to lead you to believe to the contrary, do not be
deceived.
Washington’s First Love Affair.
if a non If or land in Harper’s Weekly.
In the drawing room of Dr. J. D. Moncure
(the able superintendent ot tbe Eastern lu
natic asylum, situated in Williamsburg)
hangs the portrait ot Mary Cary, renowned
for beauty and belleahip in a family when
beauty is hereditary and pronounced. Her
sister Sally became the wife of George Will
iam Fairfax, the near neighbor and inti
mate friend of George Washington. The
oft-repeated tale that “Sally” Cnry was the
first love of tbe father of bis country is io
effectually refuted by a document courte
ously furnished to me by her great-grand
son, Dr. MoDcure, that l make no apology
for preferring his story to my own:
"George William Fairfax of Bel voir,
Va., and Poulston, Yorkshire, England,
married Dec. 17,1748, Sarah, second daugh
ter of Col. Wilson Carey of Coleys, near
Hampton, cn James river. George Fairfax
was the companion of Washington on his
surveying tour for Lord Fairfax. Wash
ington first met Mrs. Fairfax at Belvoir,
near Mount Vernon, when she was brought
home as the bride of George William Fair
fax. Miss Mary Cary accompanied her
sister Sarah to Belvoir, and there met
George Washlugton. She was then but 14
years of age. Washington was only 16.
He had never visited the Low Country near
Williamsburg prior to this, and therefore
could not have met Sarah Cary until her
marriage. It is said that he fell in love at
first sight with Mary Cnry, and went so
far, ou bis first visit to Williamsburg, as to
ask Col. Cary for the baud of his daugh
ter."
The big rawboned lad found scant favor
in the eyes of the patrician planter. He was
dismissed in terms so curt that we must
bear In mind paternal pride aud other ex
tenuating circumstances if we would keep
Intact our idea of a fine old Virginia gentle
man.
“If that is your business here, sir, I wish
you to leave the house! My daughter"
the swell emphasis rumbles down tho oor
ridor of years—"has been accustomed to
ride in her own eoaob.”
Tradition assorts that the chagrined
suitor took the choleric parent at his word,
and that the next time he looked upon the
facie of his early love was when he passed
through Williamsburg on his return from
Yorktown after the surrender of Corn
wallis. As we stroll down the spiral street,
the window In the old Cary house is pointed
out nt which Mary CaTjf—now Mrs. Ed
ward Ambler—stood to watch the parade.
Washington looked up, reoognlzed her, and
waved a smiling salute with his sword,
whereat the lady fainted. A boooming and
not difficult feat at an era when to swoon
opportunely and gracefully was a branch
of feminine education.
