Mr. Willi im Lynch, another witness.
Haul that White told hlm’he represented
Dealing At Hull, but said he did not take
liny insurance from him. He did state,
howev. r. that ho cashed a check for $5.
which was made payable to White, and
which was indorsed by him, and he after
war,l found that the drawer of the check
bad never had any account in the bank
on which it was drawn. This amount, it
tppears, however, was made good by
White.
The other parties who testified as to
[White’s having obtained money from

Remeson, $10.50; M. R. Hansen, $2.50; A. L.
Johnson, $1; T. B. Jones, $5, and Lawson,
sl2. White, in his statement, claimed that
he did represent Messrs. R. J. Davant &
fon, and claimed that he got the money
honestly. If he had not been arrested
so soon, he said, he could have secured
the insurance for these parties as he rep
resented. Messrs. Davant & Son, who
were on the witness stand, stated that
White had been to see them, and that they
toi l him he could see what sort of insur
ance h<- could get. They stated, however,
that White had no authority to give in
surance to any one or to collect premiums.
Is is stated that the man’s name is net
White, as he claims, but that Whit© is an
alias. He is believed by the court au
thorities to be a regular Insurance swlnd

in his argument to the court. Judge Mac-
Dorell said the case was an important one
and he would take it under consideration
before rendering his decision.

THE PLANT SYSTEM’S DAY.
Set Apart by tbe Atlanta Exposition
Management.
President C. A. Colfler of the Cotton
States and International Exposition, to
be held In Atlanta In the fall, has as
signed Oct. 27 as Plant System Day.
The selection of this date Is particularly
gratifying to the officers and employes
of the railroad on account of the fact
that It is tha birthday of President H. B.
Plant.
Outside of that fact, however, the fact
that a day has been assigned separately
to this system Is Indicative of the Impor
tant position It occupies In the commerce
and trade of this section of the south and
east.
The people In the territory through
which the Plant system runs appreciate
what It has done without discrimination
to develop all sections. If there are any
who do not they will change their opinion
should they visit Atlanta on Plant system
day.
The building in which the exhibits from
along the line of the Plant system will be
placed was completed yesterday, and the
work of putting In the exhibits will be.
gin within a few days. Those who have
seen the building have been very much
pleased with its appearance. It is built of
Florida phosphate rock, and, as Is well
known, it Is in the shape of a large pyra.
mid. It will constitute one of the unique
and interesting exhibits at the exposition.
ENSIGN SCALES’ VALOR.

commendation of the German and Ameri
can consuls, at Amoy, China, for the part
he took in the rescue of the crew of the
German steamer Tasheong, and the sav
ing of the vessel from burning last April.
Ensign Scales is attached to the United
States steamer Machias, now In the east.
United States Consul Kemper, at Amoy,
has made a special report to the state de
partment, praising the officers and crew
of the Machias for their valor.
Two boats' crews, under charge of En
sign Scales, went to the assistance of the
imperilled ship. They found the officers
and men thoroughly demoralized, In face
of the rapidly gaining flames, but taking
charge themselves, succeeded In suppress
ing the fire and saving the ship.
The matter became the subject of pleas
ant correspondence between tha German
and American consuls.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. JULY 14. 1895.
TO DO AW AY WITH BILBO CASAL.
Cel. Screven Throws Some Light Ip
on Drainage Oatletn.
Col. John Screven gave a Morning News
reporter some very interesting informa
tion yesterday upon the subject of th s
Bilbo canal and the Bolton street sewer
which Is of interest. In view of the gen
et al discussion now of the proposal to ex
tend the sewer to the river and cover
over the canal.
Capt. Purse's proposal to do away with
the Bilbo canal and to extend the sewer
to the river, partly along the line of tho
canal. Is nothing new, as will be seen by [
Col. Screven's statement, which shows j
that such was the intention of the city i
father's over twenty years ago. when the
Bolton street sewer was constructed.
Col. Screven was mayor of the city at
the time and as he took a special Interest
in the subject then as he does now, he
has a clear remembrance of all that oc
curred then in connection with the sew
erage system.
‘‘The Bilbo canal,” he said, “was adopted
as the main outlet for the sewage of the
city In 1872 or '73 when Mr. J. B. Howard
was city surveyor. This outlet was adopt
ed by the city council on the recommen
dation of the city surveyor to
gether with an advisory board
consisting of Gen. Gilmer. Mr.
H. S. Haines and Mr. August Schwab, all
civil engineers, Gen. Gilmer, was an en
gineer of extended experience whose opin
ion on such subjects were valuable. There
were three routes considered and surveyed,
the first to the Vernon river, the second to
St. Augustine creek and the third the Bilbo
canal to the SavannaJi river. The Bilbo
canal route was adopted on the recommen
dation of this committee as the shortest,
least expensive and most reliable of the
three routes named. The Bilbo canal
would have been made a covered sewer
then had It been within the means of the
city government to do so. Such not being
the ease the old Bilbo canal was widened
and deepened. This was fixed upon as the
outlet for the sewerage system Intended
to be provided for the greater part of the
city permanently or for a great length of
time. It was not decided upon until the
grades of the city had oem carefully de
termined and mapped out. The grade of the
Bllbd canal route was found to be especial
ly favorable. It was the first Instance in
which a system or sewerage for Savannah
on a large scale had been attempted.
"The Bolton street sewer and the Bilbo
canal extended from the mouth of the
sewer, were to form the outlet for the
entire system. In consequence of the ex
pense of the undertaking, the plan could
not be Immediately carried into effect,
but was left to be extended and finally
completed as the means of the city would
allow and ltg exigencies require. Its con
struction, therefore, was confined to the
building a sewer along Broughton street.
East Broad street and Bolton street.
Short branches were connected with the
Broughton street sewer. It was contem
plated that the drains for the western
side of the city should be Independent
of this system. The city Is divided by a
ridge,,which follows along the line of Jef
ferson street, which makes a separate sys
tem for the two sections necessary.
“The report made by Mr. Sugden upon
the subject of a sewerage outlet Is a most
admirable one. and presents the subject
In a most convincing manner to my mind.
There Is no doubt that the route advo
cated by Mr. Sugden Is ths most feasible
one. because satisfactory results of such
a route are self-evident, whereas the re
sults to be expected from other routes,
which have been discussed from time to
time, are entirely a matter of experiment.
When our commission considered this sub
ject In 1872, we did not have the same light
upon the question of sewerage, its dilu
tion and the volume of water necessary to
remove it, but there was no doubt In the
mind of the committee that there was suf
ficient volume of water In the river to re
move the filth as fast as It was emptied
from the sewer. Modern research and the
recent Investigations of tbe subject prove
by undoubted figures that such Is the
case.”
Col. Screven said that the sewerage sys
tem which was begun In 1872 was intended
to answer not only for the removal of
sewage, but for drainage as well. A num
ber of ponds existed right in the heart of
the city, and during a rainy spell such as
we are now experiencing Broughton street
was hardly more than a pond from begin
ning to end and many of the squares were
also converted Into ponds. In fact, Col.
Screven says, the majority of the resi
dents of Savannah have no idea what
drainage has done for the city.
“Mr. Howard, the city surveyor, was
sent to Europe," said Col. Screven, “and
though the science of sanitary engineer
ing had not advanced to the stage which
it at present occupies, he returned with a
lot of valuable Information. The con
struction of the Broughton ptreet, the
Perry lane and the East Broad street
sewers is peculiar. In the first place, they
are laid at considerable depth. Instead
of building the sewers up from the ground
rows of cross beams were laid, hollowed
out lnoval form, and upon these heavy
boards, an inch to an inch and a quarter,
were laid, the space between the beams
having been filled up to the
level with sand. Then up
on this planking the sewers were built
up. The bricks were laid without mor
tar for the reasons which I will
explain to you. Mortar was used from
the middle of the circle to the top. but no
mortar was used on the lower half of the
work. It was by this means that the water
from the entire section surrounding the
sewers entered the sewers and was drained
off. There were ordinary pumps at every
corner on Broughton street at that tlrqe.
As soon as the Broughton street sewer
was laid every one of these pumps went
dry. That will give you some idea, of the
drainage effected by these sewers.”
Col. Screven gave an Instance of the
amount of the dilution of the sewage
through the Increase of the water In the
sewers by percolation. Col. H. S. Haines
at that time had his office in Savannah as
general superintendent of the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway. He took a
great deal of Interest In the sewerage
question. Before its connection with the
East Broad street sewer the Perry lane
sewer emptied into the field east of the
city owned by Gen. Lawton. Col. Haines
walked out one afternoon to take a look
at this sewer. He was surprised to find
several teamsters with their animals at
the mouth of sewer and both men and
horses drinking of the water. He remon
strated with the men and told them that
the water was flltfcy and polluted. The men
did not agree with him. •
"Why said one of them when I want a
drink of good, cool water I come here for
it. It is the best water in the whole city.’’
This incident Impressed Col. Haines so
much that he procured a clean bottle,
filled It with water from his sewer an 1
carried It with him to his office where
Col. Screven saw It next day. The water
was as clear and clean looking ty* if taken
from a mountain spring and though kept
for months exhibited no sign of impurity.
Col. Screven says that the only possible
explanation of this was that the amount
of surface water which percolated lruo
the sewer was so great that the amount
of Impure matter In 'the outflow was re
duced to en imperceptible minimum.
“The Bilbo canal is a dangerous nui
sance and should be abated,” eald C •!.
Screven In conclusion. “With deep laid
sewers of similar construction to that Just
described the whole eastern section would
be thoroughly drained and made as hab
1 table as any portion of the city.”
A CIXIXAXAX GAGGED.
Sing Lang Bound t mil He
Robbed of s3l by Two White Men.
Sing Lung, a Chinaman who keeps a
laundry at Jefferson and Harris streets,
was violently assaulted last night by two
white men, as he claims, who went through
his money drawer and made away with
s3l in small change.
The assault was committed about 3:30
o'clock. About that hour two white men
entered the Jefferson street window of his
laundry, with a package, stating that
they wanted some laundry work done.
Sing took the package and was standing
at his counter, making out the ticket,
when one of the men, a big stout fellow,
suddenly seized him by the throat and
wrapped a towel tightly about hta neck.
He then quickly placed a towel saturated
with kerosene oil to his mouth and nose to
suffocate him. while the otner man bound
the Chinaman's legs and held his arms.
In this condition they threw him to the
floor, and while one of the men stood
guarding him, the other opened the money
drawer and took out s3l and some cents tn
small change. Both men then hurriedly
made their escape.
When the Chinaman finally sucoeeded
in releasing himself he started out for
town. He reached Broughton street ai.d
there met Policeman Norris who had just
gone off duty, but who listened carefully
to his story, and said he would do what he
could to find the men. He then made an
Investigation and found that the names
on the bundle which the men had left
a; the laundry wore W. B. Overton, w.t.i
Macon after It, and H. Newman. The
Chinaman through another, who was an
interpreter, described the men and told
the policeman all about what had hap
pened. The names were written in blue
lead pencil. When Sing reached Broughton
street he still had the towel around his
neck and looked as though he he.d be n
pretty badly Jarred. Policeman Norris
started out on a hunt for the assailants
of the laundryman and thought he would
be able to locate them sometime during
the night. No arrests had been made in
the case, however, up to 2 o’clock tills
ra Jilting.
Policeman Harris went In search of the
party described by Sing Lung, and arrest
ed W. K. Bell, a conductor on the Florida
Central and Peninsular railroad in the
house of Hattie Miller on Hull street, be
tween Price and Houston. Bell was taken
to the barracks, but denied having had
anything to do with robbery. He was
somewhat under the Influence of liquor
No money was found on his person, but
he was Identified positively by Sing Lung
as the man who had gagged him. He was
held at the barracks.

GUYTON GOT A SHUT OUT.
THE EFFINGHAMITES DEFEAT THE
VIGILANT* 3 TO O.
The Only *liut Ont of the Season So
Far—How the Runs Were Made.
The Pltohers of Both Teams Did
Excellent Work—The Score.
The game yesterday between the Guytons
and Vlgllants was a very good exhibition
of ball. Tho Guytona won by a score of 3
to 0, the game being called on the Vigi
lante’ half of the sixth inning on account
of rain.
The Guytons secured the first shut out
of tho league. The game started with Guy
ton at the bat. Jenkins, the first batsman
secured hla base on balls, and by a steal
to second, and error and a sacrifice he
crossed the plate for the first run.
In the next two innings the Guytons
went out In one, two, three order. In the
fourth Inning they pushed In two more
runs. That ended the run getting.
For five Innings the Vlgllants went out
In short order, but In the sixth inning
Watson secured first base on an error of
Mell’s. With one man on base for the Vig
llants and no outs the rain started and put
an end to the game. As one “rooter” re
marked, “even the heavens shed tears for
the poor Vlgllants.”
The work of Readlck and Mell was gilt
edged, only two hits being made off
each, and each having struck out six
men.
The work of the Vlgllants was also
good and showed that the team Is all
right; but Is playing In hard luck.
The playing of Arden on short was the
main feature of the game.
The game. In fact, was the best played
game of the season. Armstrong made a
record for hUnself by stealing second
base. Mell, the ex-captAln of Uie Vlgl
lants, but now playing with the Guytons,
was roasted by his old "rooters” and had
a sort of off day of it all round. The fol
