THE CITY’S SANITATION.
Dr. J. C. LeHardy's Report to the
Sanitary Association.

ASO _The Officers of the Sanitary As
sociation for this Year—Capt. Henry
Blun Re-elected President.
The Citizen's Sanitary Association held
its annual meeting last night at No. 5
Drayton street. Among those present
were: Capt. Henry Blun, Dr. J. C. Le-
Hardy, Mr. William Kehoe, Dr. George
H Stone. Mr. J. S. Wood, Mr. P. M.
Dougan, Maj. R. A. Blandford, C. N.
West, Esq., W. D. Harden, Esq., Col.
George A. Mercer, Mr. D. J. Murphy and
Mr. M. J. Desvergers.
The principal business of the meeting
was the annual report of the medical
director, Dr. Lellaruy. upon the sanitary
conditions surrounding the city as com
pared with those of 1876. Dr. LeHardy’s
report is as follows:
MEDICAL DIRECTOR'S REPORT.
To the Officers and Members of ths Citi
zens Sanitary Association of Savannah:
(jentlemen—lou are aware that ISB.I has
ended with about ten inches surplus rainiall,
and all the swamps oiled and low lanas cov
ered with stagnant water, The winter uas
been so mild tndt stagnant pools everywhere
are alreauy covered with green slime—that
haruingei of malaria. In spite of tha long
sped of dry weather of January and Fe ruar.v
there are hundreds of acres of land within tile
cily s juris llction. and hundreds of acres out
aiue of these limits, that are set and „o*gy:
that is to sy. in a very unhealthy condition.
The doctors have had under treatment a
great nuniDer of cases of malarial poisoning
all winter long, either in the form of inter
mittent or , ilions fever or in cornu.nation
wuh the grippe, inuueiiza. pneumonia, colds,
neuralgias, etc., ail requiring the administra
tion of quinine.
Physicians, who were practicing at the
time.' rt member that the same conditions
existed here during the win.ers ot 18i5 76.
It will tuereiore . e ,ne part of prudence and
wisdom for those who have authority over
the a. aus of savannah and of Chatham
county to remove the cause ot this ma.ana
before hot weather comes upon us and to
make a diligent sear.-h lor all things
capaule of , reating sickness or which
can bring about an epidemic disease,
so that they may get rid of them before it i
too late. They are tuliy cognizant o the un
told losses sustained uy our neighboring city
Brunswick, last fall; of the condition of uu
ject pauperism and vassalage to which the
inuaoitaiits were subjected uy the surgeons
ot the marine hospital service, who assumed
the entire management of alfairs during four
months of tne year, because of too occurrence
o( one case oi yellow fever, followed by an
epidemic fever, caited yeiiow fever, the mor
tality from which rarely reaching 50 m a pop
ulation of s,imo. Had the Waring system
of house drainage. which they now
propose to construct, been in operation
last year: had the city been kept clean and its
surroundings properly drained, Brunswick
would have oeen spared all this.
dhen. it anything can ue done to save us
from her fate lei no stone remain unturned,
no matter what may ie the difficulties to
overcome, no matter what the cost may be!
This, c believe, voices the soutinnnt oi every
merncer of the -anitary association—of every
man and woman in this city.
The state i.oard ot health of Goorgia, which
met here immediate y after the dreadful yel
low fever epidemic which nearly ruined our
city in 1870, to examine into the causes which
Drought about the calamity, reported that
"the sanitary condition of .savannah prior to
the outbreak of yellow fever in 1576 was ex
ceedingly objectionable, die low lands which
surrounded the city were undrained. ' * * -
"Hie condition of the sewers was ohjeedion

them' * **•******•

"c be majority of houses are provided with

these privy vaults and the method of ejegm

considered most oojectionacle to the health
of the city. * * * "Grave charges are also
found with the method by which the offals of
the city are disposed of—the system is one ex
cecdin ly dangerous to the public health.
"che water supply is contaminated with
organic matter.” * * ***
The meaner* of this board of which our
fellow citizen, the late Dr. J. G. homas. was
the nonoredpresiding officer, were evidently
convinced that the condition of the undraiued
lands around the cltv was the principal factor
in the causation of the epidemic, since they
give It the first place in considering the sub
ject. So impressed were they of the neces
sity of this drainage as a preventive against
yeiiow fever, that they petitioned our legisla
ture and succeeded in obtaining an appropria
tion amounting to 27,6;12.72, "to provide for
the drainage of Chatharii countv. so as to
protect the state from epidenil.s'of yellow
fever and other diseases. ’ A drainage com
mission was appointed by Gov. Gordon, and
the work was started in localities nearest
the city and kept up until the amount ob
tained through the legislative Iporopriation
was expended, the work was then turned
over by the drainage commission to the com
missioners of Chatham county.who nobly con
tinued the good worn, im ,roved upon ft and
so extended it that in IB'B thev had com
pleted thirty four and a half miles of canals
and drains, the area of lands reclaimed
being 21.0,0 acres, increasing the taxable
valueof the property from 51.176.78-1 in 1380 to
$2,168,545 in 1888. The death rate also was
greatly reduced as shown by the following

on the Lamar tract immediately
east of the cit- are covered
with water at. every high tine. The old
ri Ceelds fast, southeast and south of
tne avannah, Florida and Western railway
wharves, and belonging to the company, are
in a fearful condition; the hanks, i rokcn by

Southwest of Tatemville. extending to the
line of the Savannah, Florida and Western
railway, are a number of boggy bays sobby
land, and a large body of undrained swamp.
All the .low grounds a ound Soulhover
Junction ato more or less wet. boggy, or
filled with stagnant water and slime, as are
also the i or row pit* of th' Savannah. Flor
ida ami Western railway in that vicinity.
The abandoned rice belds ou the northwest
era part of the old Gordin Guerard plantation
tract, lying immediately south of the city, are
in a most pernicious condition—the old ca
nals and ditches filled up. and a large area
tow covered with stagnant water.
The grounds, in a number num er of places,
on the land* etwees ihe southern slope of
the cit and Ogechee avenue are in a sobby
and unsanitary condition. An arm of the
Minis swamp running up through the city a
domain toward Coopersvillo t etween the
< >geechee road and the colored cemetery,
whic h has been a subject of long complaint
from the inhai rants of the southwestern ex
tended limits of the city, remains in its primi
tive condition of undraiued swamp an 1 forest.
ihe land forming ihe western slope of the
city extending from the old cotton factory
site to ihe colored cemetery, and thence to
the Ogeechee road is al ways wet and sobby
and must ne. remain in that condition
until properly underurained—open drains can
nut answer the purpose where hundreds of
cattle o struct the water flow by trampling
over them.
The condition of the Springfield plantation
tract is far from satisfactory- and unless sur
facedrains are made to can." off the water
from depressions where water stagnates after
every rain or high tide, it will become a
source of danger during hot weather. A con
siderable portion of the Vale Loyal planta
tion tract, the property of the Central rail
road. is all the time in an exactly similar con
d.tum, the hurves and some of the war ■
houses of that corporation f.re very unsani
tary and a constant source of danger to
health. On the noith side of theOgeechee
canal, as far us the river a great part of the
lands are cultivated by intelligent truck
farmers; these lauds have been carefully
drained and they are dry and healthy.
.he . o nty engineer has demonstrated by
careful scientific surveys, that every foot of
these low lands can be thoroughly drained,
and it i* to be hoped that all the commission
ers will unite to order the entire convict force
to and > this work at once.
ihe condition of ot;r bri* k sewers is neces
sarily worse than in 1876, i ccause of the fact
that the number of iloseis emptying into
them has increased and continues to in
crease. and they cannot be properly flushed:
ncr is there any other way prov ided to clean
them
The privy vaults are in exactly the same
condition as when the sta e commissioners
made their examination an 1 the number has
more than dou led. In ILG the late James J.
Waring. M. i). then an alderman, proposed to
get rid of this most dangerous nuisance by
filling the vaults with eaith and removing all
fecal matter twice a week in pai s made for
the purpose. This system has given the best
of results in cities where it has been
adopted, trat it has een given a trial
here. The siine slow and costly way of
emptying vaults and disposing of their con
tents still prevails.
Great improvements have been made in the
disposal of garbage, since 1876, but there is
room for manv more. The offal is removed
with a promptness and regularity, but a large
portion is still al owed to remain in our yards
over night, where it ferments and putrilies
during hot weather, ihe garbage wagons are
the same open wa.ous still, and the efluvia
they omit as they pass of mornings has no
been improved at all. ihe ashes anl si :m.
] as of yore, are thrown upon the surface of the
! lanes to e washed into the adjoining yards
during rainy spells.
; One cremator has ! een put up. which, under
! its present mana ement. is doing a remark
a Ie amount of work for its si e. The best
part of theguruage fronts ti e city is urnt
regularly there, but the wort part stable ma

proximity to ti.e city. lam sure that another
cremator, located at a point more easi y ac

habitants of our city if made large enough
and adapted to the incineration o” manure.

ihe most important work accomplished
since our last epidemic is the building of the
new water works. The administration is
worthy of great praise for having furnished
our people with one of tne most imp >rtant
sanitary needs—an ab in lance of good water.
clear as crystal and not likely to become
contaminated wi h the germs of cholera or
typhoid fever. The present supply is suftl
‘ eieut to provide ail the water necessary for
a complete system of seers, capable of car
rying off from ’he city the most prolific cause
of niih diseases—the *eweruge, before it has
time to become dangerous.
If our city coin il were able to give us the
Waring system of separate sewers, and drain
all the lands within a certain distance from
the city, we would not be likely to suffer as
Brunswick did last year.
As out iesv can realize the magnitude of the
losses we would sustain should Savannah be
azain visited by a yeliow fever epidemic, I
expected to place before you official docu
ments and statistics giving the actual figures
as to the losses of Brunswick I reiuested
the present mayor of Brunswick and several
prjuiinent business men of that place to fur
nish me the desired information but my
questions have remained unanswered Whv
those geniiemeu are so reticent upon the
subje; t i cannot say. At any rate I shall en
deavor to give you figures not far out of tha
way. in a report made y Surgeon E. Mc-
Leliaiid. United States Army, to tho state
hoard of health of Georgia, he gives a table
showing what the epidemic of 18i6 cost sa
vannah, as follows:
1. l oss by the expenditures of over
8,0(9 refugees $500,000

epidemic of t°76: The loss of nearly six
millions in three short months seems very
great, indeer ut, huge as it appears, it is a
were trilie if compared so what it must noces
sarily be should yellow fever visit us again.
Under our management in 1-76 yellow fever
did not prevent commercial transactions, and
travel was nat-impeded. while in 1891. under
the new regime and the management of the
marine hosoital service, a complete embargo
will t e laid upon all traffic and travel. Our
losses in exports alone will reach tens of
m 1 ions -(a comparative statement sent me
uy Col. John . Doveau. colored, collector of
the port of Brunswick, shows that in .peptem
:-er. Octub -r and November. 1888, exports
were 81,532.715 less than for the same period
ill 1692:.
With our present population, the exolus
if compared with Brunswick will reach fully
43,0n. or a loss of 85,ixj0.0J0. in local sales,
commercial transactions. In travel loss to
railroad corporations, to hotels, etc , the loss
m st reach fully i-'0.000.r0 ; in wages to the
la ortng classes, in salaries to clerks to mmy
millions more. The least estimate brings our
losses to foO.-tx) 000- this is the reason why I
call so earnestly upon those in authority to
lay aside, as fa- as possible, every other work
and to concentrate their energies in pushing
to completion every -anitary work which may
help to avert, such a calamity .The cos: of sti h

THE FIVE GREAT PLAYS.
Written Up by an Authority on Base
Ball.
Donahoe's Magazine for March, con
tains an interesting article by T. H. Mur
nane, on what he considers the five great
est ball plays on the diamond. The
author has had an acquaintance of tweuty
years s'tandln? with the game, first as a
player i.nd later as a writer on the sport.
In describing a brilliant running catch,
the author says:
‘‘Can you imagine a man flying? If not,
it will be a difficult matter for me to de
scribe the play made by Hermau Long, of
the Boston club, at Philadelphia, in the
summer of 1892. The championship season
was atout two-thirds over, and the
Quakers were gradually crawling up on
the Boston leaders. Harry Wright’s
boys had taken two games from the
champions before tremendous crowds of
people, and the third and last game of the
series found the bostons determined to
mane the tight of their lives.
Herman Long was the hero of tho
Boston victory; his batting was terrific
and his fielding grand. While both teams
wero fighting for ihe lead, he made a
phenomenal play that turned the tables
in favor of Boston. The ball was hit
hard, and went sailing out towards center
fir-id. A volley of cheers followed the
drive, and doubled in volume when Long
was seen to make what the players call a
“Dunlap” or grand stand catch. In this
instance it was the only way
the play could have been accom
plished. The ball was taken with
the right hand over the left
shoulder, while in the air, after a sharp
run and living leap, where his heels went
nearly as hizh as his head. Mr. l.ong is
still a member of the chamoion Boston
team, and the most brilliant player on the
field at the present time.
Cal Mcv'ey. the old Boston and Chicago
league player, the author con iaors the
most powerful thrower he has ever seen,
MeVey was a member of the Cincinnati
Red Stockings, and was playing right
field in gam' s against the Atlandcs, be
fore a crowd of 20,000 people, when by his
wonderful throw, he would have shutoff
the winning run for the Atlantic*, but for
a mud by the catcher at the home plate.
In speaking of McVey’s lightning throw,
the author has this to say"
The ninth inning resulted in fivo runs
each; the tenth was a blank; Cincinnati
made two runs in the eleventh, and felt
sure of the game. With two men on
bases, “old reliable” Joe Start hit the ball
in among the spectators at right field,
they having crowded in on the field. The
people were in sympathy with the Brook
lyn men, and MeVey had a hard time
getting the ball. He pushed his way clear
after a great struggle, just as Start had
turned third base and was headed for
home, with the crowd cheering him on.
With a short step and a swing, MeVey’s
arm shot out like a piston rod. the ball
went as straight as a bullet into the
catcher s hands, where it dropped, just as
Start rolled over tbe plate with the win
ning run, exhausted and out of breath.
John F. Morrill, of the Boston team,
made a wonderful pick-up in 1886 and
saved his team a defeat. The ball was
bit hard and shot along the ground very
close to first base. The author, who saw
the game, writes: It was do or die with
the Boston player; a step and a dive with
his left hand, and the ball was reached.
Like a flash he changed it to the right
hand, and sent it straight as an arrow to
the catcher, in time to head off the man
coming home. After tho throw, Morrill
fell full length on the grass, and was as
much surprised as any one when he saw
that tho ball had beaten the runner, and
his team saved from defeat.
In speaking of Comiskey's playing in a
Boston and Cincinnati game the author
goes on to say: The ball was hit well to
the right of Comiskey, who was playing
first base. He took the ball with his
right hand, after a jump, and before get
ting his feet on the ground had sent it to
the home plate, in time to catch the fleet
footed Boston man.
The bail was handled with two motions,
which necessitated great playing to exe
cute. Paul Hines is said to betheonly man
who ever made a triple play single
handed.
The author after describing the
game in a most descriptive manner
refers to the remarkable work of the
Providence man.
Hines was playing a rather deep centre
field, and was watching the
batsman closely. The ball was hit
hard, and passed about three feet
high over second base. Hines made a
long, desperate run, knowing that it
meant the loss of the game if he failed.
It looked like an utter impossibility* to
make the catch. The men on bases ’ bad
s arted for home, and the Boston sympa
thizers sent up a wild yell ; but it was cut
short as Hines reached the ball, getting
it aiiout two inches from the ground,
and held it, tho momentum carrying him
twenty-flvo yards beiore he regained con
trol of himself. Both men had crossed
the home p.ate, and, seeing there was no
use iu trying to get hack, stood bewil
dered. as Hines jogged over to tnird base,
putting throe men out, as tho runners
were forced to come back and touch the
bases in regular order, after a fly ball had
been caught.
The article written by Mr. Murnane
is profusely illustrated, and will, no doubt,
be read by a large number of the iovers of
busc ball.
