"Speakirx of the-change of the name of
New Houston street to Park avenue, Col.
Honor slid lie thought it very inappro
priate "The street does not in the least
resenKe a park,” lie said, ‘‘nor does it
touch or pa.-~ through nny park, nor is it
m titied to l.e known as an avenue.”
"Tiie I italic', which I had hoped would

that the name of Oglethorpe avenue should
be bestow- I upon Hull street, that old
Sooth Broad street, now known as Ogle
thorpe avenue, should be called Live Oak
avenue, and that the name of Bull street
should be li. stowed upon New Houston
or some other less conspicuous street. The
name Bull Is not an euphonious one, and
there is no reason why Gov. Bull of South
Carolina should lie honored by giving his
name to our principal avenue. His serv

"Mr. C. H. Dorsett, who has always
taken an active interest in the southern

the numbers would signify* something.
While he did not express an opinion about
the present names, he felt quite sure there
was not much necessity for tfce change
just now.
Alderman Charlton has expressed his
views before on the system for naming
streets, which he believes applies to those
south of Anderson. Like Mayor Meldrim,
Alderman. Chtirltqn is wedded to the use
of the names of prominent citizens, whom
ite bslieves should be remembered and
honored in this Way. The city does not
always honor the individual, but it honors
itself. The city should be proud to use
the names of some of the men for whom
streets in Savannah are now named.
Others, casually Epoken to on the sub
ject, favored the numerical system. They
thought the fact it would signify the nunw
ber of,.afreets from the river was fully
worth the’ change; and, in fact, required
it. A'ifew <>?■ approached were not
prepared toexpres* ah opinion, but it ap
peared to them at flfist blush that the idea
was a good one, and that there was suf
ficient reason for adopting it.
INSPECTOR COSGROVE’S REPORT.
His First Year XV it lx Plumbing
Board.
The first annual report from the depart
ment of plumbing was filed by Inspector
Cosgrove with Cjerk of Council Bailey
yesterday afternoon. In relating the do
ings of this young but Important depart
ment, it is relishing to observe few recom
mendations for improvements, which gen
erally make up a conspicuous part of an
nual reports.
‘‘l have ihe' honor to submit herewith,”
the inspector goes on to say, “my report
of all* business transacted in this office
from May 7, the date of appointment, to
Dec. 81. A plumbing ordinance was passed
and the office of inspector created Feb. 9,
1898. The object of this ordinance is in the
interest of the health of the city by hav
ing plumbing work properly constructed.
I took the oath of office May 7, and there
upon entered upon the discharge of my
duties.”
Inspector Cosgrove calls attention to the
fact that a large number of plumbers as
sisted him in the enforcement of the new
ordinance; and on the other hand there
were a few who wore inclined to be ob
stinate. He says he Is satisfied that this
was caused by a general misunderstanding
of the new law, and not a deliberate design
on the part of the dissatisfied plumbers
to defeat Us purposes. He pursued ai con
servative course while the disturbing ele
ment* was at work, taking due care not
to stir up strife that would Interfere with
the future operations of the department.
Proceeding with his report, Inspector
Cosgrove calls further attention to the
fact it has been but eight months since
the inauguration of the present rigid in
spection of plumbing work, the brief time
making it impossible for him to accom
plish a great deal. “However, I am
pleased to aay, a great good has been ac
complished so fat;,” he says, “and I am
satisfied that with the same effort in the
future, as has been made in the past, the
end the city is striving for will have been
reached."
Further attention is called to the large
number'of Hopper water closets with
globe valves which are still in use. These
valves are frequently left open by care
less persons, whieh allows the water to
escape, and thereby unnecessarily de
creases the pressure in other fixtures. It
is stated that this trouble will continue
until it is removed. In this connection,
Alderman Smith introduces an ordinance
in Council against the use of Hopper clos
ets, which, lie thought, should be sup
plemented with others, but the ordinance
was lost on the ground it was not ad
visable to put such a burden on the people,
as the change would necessitate. Aider
man Smith introduced the ordinance in
behalf of the water department, which
had suggested the advisability of such a
measure.
“1 have not inspected any sewer con
nections,” the inspector continues, "which
has had the effect of greatly reducing the
revenue of this office. Each connection
not inspected was a loss of $3 to the office.
The superintendent of public works de
rived the benefit of this, claiming his of
fice to be entitled to it, as the intention
of the plumbing ordinance was for the
plumbing inspector to have charge of the
new system of house drainage alone.
“There are a large number of buildings
with unsanitary and dangerous plumbing
fixtures in use. They will continue so un
til an ordinance is passed prohibiting them
from being connected to the new system
of house drainage, unless they are made
to conform to the plumbing ordinance.
The Board of Plumbing Examiners held
meetings every two weeks and made its
report to the Board of Sanitary Commis
sioners at their regular meetings. I will
take this opportunity to return my thanks
to the board for its suggestions and assist
ance in facilitating the work of this of
fice.”
It is stated that bills amounting to $425
have been collected by the Inspector, and
were duly paid over to the city treasurer.
The fees of the office come from in
spections, which are charged for at 50
cents a fixture, and against whoever or-
the inspection made. Many thought
when the law first went into effect that
the only thing to do was to order out the
inspector, Ua\ J e the causes of bad plumb
ing Jboeatod,"pnd',the cost of inspections
changed to the property owners. It can
not be charged to the owners, however,
unless the tenants have an understanding
about it. The fees are appropriated to the
pnyment of the Inspector’s salary.
The report concludes with a detailed ac
count of the work done since the inspec
tions were begun. It shows that the
closest attention has been given to the
duties, tUr main,obJect of which is to se
cure bettet arrangements in the city’s
plumbing. That the office has been need
ed in Savannah for a long time is demon
strated in the aid the inspector has been
to the health department, by which he is
frequently notified of places it Is proper to
inspect and order repaired. While Inspec
tor Cosgrove has some time yet to serve
before tjie expiration of bis term of office,
it is safe to say that in his brief connec
tion with‘file work he has shown himself
competent. The duties of the office are to
jog at persona who violate the law, but
he manages to keep ou the favorable side
i of both the plumbers and the public.

THE CITY COURT CONTEST.
V. ILL COXIE BEFORE .H UGE FALLI
GAXT TO-DAY AT A't><lN.
Eacli Side Confident in the Strength
of It* Legal Position—Toby Bow
en'* Attorney* Appeal to the Su
preme Court for a New Trial.
liar*tow'H Land* Appraised at
s7,o7o—Mr. folding Act* n* Solici
tor General in the City Court.
The hearing in the quo warranto pro
ceedings instituted by Mr. J. 9. Collins and
Mr. T. J. Sheftall to oust Mr. Waring Rus
sell, Jr., and Mr. E. J. Whelan from the
positions whieh they now hold as clerk
ancj sheriff of the City Court, will begin
in the Superior Court at noon to-day. Mr.
A. A. Lawrence represents the contestants
and Mr. S. B. Adams, city attorney, the
new officers of the court.
The contest is based on the grounds that
the officers of the City Court are not city
officers and that the act under which the
City Council acted In electing successors
to the" contestants was unconstitutional
and that consequently the election is void
and the contestants are entitled to serve
out the full term for which they were
elected, that Is, uptil Jan. 1, 1900.
The hearing will be entirely a legal bat
tle, the facts in the case being admitted
by both sides. Each side is wry confident
of its legal position, and It Is likely that
a numerous array of legal authorities will
be cited on each side. No matter in whose
favor Judge Falligant may decide the
case is practically certain to be taken to
the Supreme Court, as neither side would
rest content so long as there is a pos
sibility of turning the tabled on Ihir op
ponents. The case is one of considerable
interest from both personal and political
standpoints and the many friends of the
two sets of contesting officials are much
interested in the results of the first round
of the legal battle.
Messrs F. T. Saussy, R. M. Lester and
Gordon Saussy, attorneys for Toby Bow
ens, who was convicted last September of
the murder of his wife, Rosa Bowens, filed
a bill of exceptions in the Superior Court
yesterday. The bill was cert)Heel to by
Judge Falligant and the clerk instructed
to transmit copies of the records of the
case, os desired, to ths Supreme Court,
which will now be asked to pass upon the
case. Bowens committed the assault upon
his wife Aug. 13, beating her over the head
with a bar of iron, from the effects of
which she died a few days later. Bowens
was convicted in the Superior Court dur
ing the following month, and sentenced to
be hung Oct. 28. A motion for anew trial
was made by his attorneys, and after sev
eral delays was finally overruled by Judge
Falligant on Dec. 30. The Supreme Court
will now be asked to order anew trial for
Bowen.
In the City Court yesterday Judge Nor
wood refused to grant a new* trial in the
case of John D. Paige versus the Ocean
Steamship Company. Thjs was a suit
brought by Dr. Paige for the valuy of a
fine horse which was killed while in transit
from New York via the Ocean Steamship
Company. Dr. Paige won the suit, and
the steamship company moved for anew
trial, which motion • was overruled yester
day by Judge Norwood.
W. W. Gordon, Jr., administrator of the
estate of Elias B. Barstow. filed an ap
praisement in the Court of Ordinary yes
terday of the real estate belonging to the
estate, the valuation 'being $7,076. The
administrator aise filed petition for leave
to sell said realty.' The real estate con
sists of a iarge body of land on Wilming
ton Island.
Yestercfay was criminal day in the City
Court; Solicitor General Osborne being
abnsent. Mr. R. L. Colding, the ex-deputy
clerk of the City Court, was sworn in as
acting solicitor general, and proceeded to
put the offenders through the mill in the
most approved manner. The following
parties wero convicted and sentenced as
stated:
Bennie Green, larceny of an overcoat
from Mr. Gordon Saussy, $25 and costs
or three months.
Y r ork .Tones, assisting Hamilton Woods,
charged with assault with intent to mut -
der, to escape, $25 and costs or twelve
months.
Dan Pinckney and William Smith, steal

and costs or six months each.
Si Wayne, assault and battery, $lO or
three months. •
A. Kirkland, ca'rrylng concealed wea
pons, $25 and costs or twelve months;
also the same sentence for smashing the
window of It. Cooley and doing other dam
age maliciously, to be enforced on the ex

Alexander Reid, vagrancy, $5 and costs
or three mopths.
James Barnard, larceny from the house,

simplicity of the combination, hut
also to the care and skill with which
it is manufactured by scientific proc
esses known to the California Fio

press upon all the importance of pur
chasing the true and original reme
dy. As the genuine Syrup of Figs is
manufactured by the California

that fact will assist one in avoiding
the worthless imitations manufact
ured by other parties. The high
standing of the California P.o

genuine Syrup of Figs has given to
millions of families, makes the name
of the Company a- guaranty of the ex

law which he did not exercise in an Effort
to absolve himself. It was till in vain,
however, as the officers of bite law were
backed up by the cqpnnunity ut Jqrge to
see that the law was enforced if Srrityi .was
proved guilty of the charge. The main
point raised by Messrs. George A. Mercer,
Jr., and T. P. Ravepel, the attorneys who
abiy defended him to the last, was that
in the confusion of shots fired in the fusi
ade officers and desperado had, it was
possible the fatal bullet was fired by one
of the officers. There seemed to be /every
thing to indicate to the contrary, however,
and after the case had been tried three
times in the Superior Court, three times
in the Supreme Court, and a petition for
commutation had been considered by Gov.
Candler, the original verdict of Uje jury
was allowed to rest.
Solicitor General Osborne, who convicted
Small at the two last trials in tbe Super
ior Court, reckoned up the approximate
cost yesterday the prisoner had been to
the state an.l county since his arrest. In
round figures it will amount to at least
$1,500, including the reward and all court
expenses.
CROPS IN THE YVEST INDIES.
The First Bulletin Issued ly the Cli
mate and Crop Service.
The first weekly bulletin of the Porto
Rican section of the climate and crop
service of the weather bureau has been
Issued. It will be issued regularly here
after by the section director at San Juan,
and a similar publication will, at an early
date, be issued for the island of Cuba from
Havana. Bulletins are to be printed in
Spanish for local distribution in their re
spective islands and eppies, translated into
English, published in the United States.
Active work has been done by the woath
er bureau in the matter of establishing
sections of its climate and crop service
in Porto Rico and Cuba. Twenty volun
tary stations have already been established
in the first island, and the work of estab
lishing a larger number of stations in
Cuba is wed advanced. In reference to
the crops in Porto Rico the bulletin says:
CofTec—The harvest ended early in De
cember, and produced an average of four
quintals per cuerda, or about 522 square
feet. On the coast near Guayama the yield
was scanty, owing to the want of rain
and to the interruptions caused by the
war. In the district of Caguas it was bet
ter than usual, and In the department of
Arectbo it was very bad, on account of
he bandits. The future crop looks well;
the weather is favorable and there is
nothing injurious to the plants worth not
ing.
Sugar Cane—The cutting season Is ap
proaching, experimental cutting having al
ready been finished. It is lielleved that the
yield will be much less than the avetage.
In Gupyama it Is hoped that it will be
better than usual. In Arecibo it is good.
In Humacao and Caguas less than in
other years.
Tobacco—ln Caguas the plants are de
veloping favorably on account of frequent
showers. The crop will be gathered in
April, and It is calculated that the yield
will lie four quintals per cuerda.
Rice—The quantities sown in Corozal
was small, but the yie’d is good. Harvest
ended in December; yield, fbur quintals
per cuerda.
Minor Products—The {tarvest in Corozal
was extremely aboundant.
