cer. Air. Chapman and Alembert* of
the PluinhinK Board Gave Their
View* I pon tlie Question —Plumb-
ing; in llonnes A1 really Built Will
Not Hn>e to Be Bemotlelled if tlie
Chief Plumbing Inspector Regards
It as Not Necessary.
The ordinance for the regulation of
house drainage and the house drainage
system was passed by the City Council
yesterday afternoon. More than an hour
was spent in the meeting of the Commit
tee of the Whole, where the discussion of
the ordinance took place. When the doors
were opened that those who listed might
enter, everything had been settled, and
the vote upon the measure was prompt
apd unanimous.
Two amendments to the ordinance were
offered and adopted. On account of the
many publications of the ordinance it is
probably familiar to householders, to all
of whom it is of Interest. Section 2 is an
important one, and reads as follows:
“Connections of primary drains with the
house drainage system of Savannah shall
be made only under tfie supervision of in
spectors to be designated by the Mayor
and after all plumbing conn, tc.l there
with shall have been found by the plumb
ing inspector to fully comply with the re
quirements of this and other ordinances.
A complete record shall he kept in the
office of the director of public works slow
ing their location, date and under whose
supervision made.”
To this section, the amendment, Inseri
ed Just after “and other ordinances,”
was as follows: “Provided that this sec*
tion shad not l>e so construed as to re*
quire the remodelling of the plumbing in
buildings already erected, if, in the judg
ment of the chief plumbing Inspector,
such remodelling is not necessary.”
The blanks in Paragraph 2. of Section 2.
of the regulations, were so filled by
amendment as to make the paragraph
read as follows:
“The coil pipe sh'ail he extended full
size above the roof of the main house,
and the opening must be at least two feet
above th<* roof or fifteen feet from any
window’ or door of the building or id
jodning building. No main soil pipe shall
he less than four inches in diameter.
At the meeting were Mayor Myers, Al
dermen Bacon, Schwarz. Dixon. Tiedo
man. Haas. Graham, Thomas. Mills ad
Doyle. Dr. W. F. Brunner, heal'h ofli <r.
Mr. W. R. Chapman, supervising engi
neer of the house drainage < nstruction.
Mr. W. H. Welch, Mr. John Halligan and
Mr. Frank Campos, members of ihe
plumbing hoard, were present during the
committee meeting, and all were calle i
upon to give the. nld<Tmen the benefit of
their views and experience in sanitation
and plumbing.
The teslimohy of all agreed with that e f
Mr. Chapman, who, in last Wednesday's
meeting of Council, declared that the soil
pipe should be four inches in diamot r
and should extend two feet above the roof.
In fact, it was the opinion of sjme that
the pipe should be even larger for the
carrying away of gases. The plumbers
submitted drawings of various styles of
pi limbing bearing upon the question, aid
their evidence was regarded as valuable
by the aldermen.
Householders may begin putting in their
connections as soon as they please. The
work will be subject to the approval of
the plumbing inspectors. No clause in the
ordinance provides an ultimate limit for
the completion of the connections with tl e
main system, and, for the present, the
owners of property may put them in when
they please.
PARTY I'.MTY AND HARMONY.
Were Enconrngingly In Evidence nt
the State Convention.
A number of the Savannah delegates and
other politicians, who attended the con
vention of the Democratic party of the
state, held Thursday in Atlanta, returned
to the city yesterday. They brought with
them glowing accounts of aimost every
feature of the convention, and of the en
couraging show of party harmony that
was there made.
The delegates could have wished that
South Georgia had been given represen
tation among the delegates at large, to
the Kansas City Convention, and some
of them wanted the local option plank
Inserted in the platform, and wanted It
bad. However, the consensus of opinion
seemed to be that these were minor ques
tions. that were overshadowed in import
ance by the excellent condition of the par
ty. and its machinery that found expres
sion in the united, clear-headed and sym
pathetic transaction of business, the nom
ination of candidates, and the adoption
of a platform by the convention.
It is generally understood that the prime
Influence behind the omission of the local
option plank from the pint form, was thay
of Gov. Candler, who is said to have
opposed it very earnestly. The question
bad resolved itself, however, from the
first into one of mere party expediency,
and no one was disposed to quarrel wiih
the result. It was felt by many of the
|>est--posted politicians of the state, who
favor the principle as a doctrine of De
mocracy, that its incorporation Into the
platform would do the cause of local
option more harm than good; that it
would have served to reopen and intensi
fy the bitterness of the light between pro
hibition and anti-prohibition, rather than
to pour oil upon the troubled waters.
PICTURES OF Til Pi MON l MENT.

Photographs of the monument to the
dead of the Second Georgia Regime nt an 1
copies of resolution** adoptet by the Ladles'
Aid Society have been sent to Ihe parents
of those whose names appear ci|K>n the
granite block reared in Laurel Grove em
etery. The photographs arc very good, and
the letters of the Inscription are so raised
as to make them easily legible in the pic
tures. The recipients of the photographs
and the resoluiions will doubtless greatly
appreciate the kindness of the Ladies* Ad
Society in sending them, as well as the
patriotism and respect for the dead that
prompted the ladies to erect the monu

benefit and assist in every way possib’e
during their service in the war with

The Union of Epworth Leagues of the
several Methodist churches held a recep
tion last night at Wesley Monumental

however, it was no different from many
others that the leagues have united in,
for the entertainments have always been
fomous among the church people.

TO MAKE CENSUS CORRECT.

the City I* to Be Expected, He
Sn.r*—The Supervisor Make* nn
Appeal for This ( o-operatiou.
“Every house in the city of Savannah j
will be visited by the enumerator® before |
final returns are made to the director ot ■■
the census. Every rcsMent of the cJv !
will have full opportunity to give in his .
name, c.nd every assistance n answering (
the questions the regulations require to j
be asked. If, after this, there are any j
whose name© are not counted, it will l*~,j
their fault, and not that of tho©e**in charge
of the census of Savannah.”
In reply to a question by a Morning j
New© reporter, Supervisor Henry Blun, ;
Jr., made this statement yesterday, after- j
noon: ,
”1 shall begin at once,” he said, “to
make a careful examination of the port
folios that have been turned in by the
enumerators, with their reports upon
houses and sections where they have ex
perienced difficulty in securing desired in
formation. J shall compare the returns
with the accurate map of the city and
list of the houses I have in my posses
sion, and where any house has been
omitted, or where full returns have not
been gathered, 1 shall require other visits
from the enumerators for these districts.”
‘‘Moreover, I make a special and per
sonal and official appeal to every resident
of Savannah, who has any fear that his '
name has not horn included in the list,
to apprise me of his fear, so that I may
examine the records and, if his fear prove
to be well founded, send an enumerator
to him. The citizens of Savannah should
be willing to go to this small amount of
trouble for the good of the city, so that
the city’s real population and not some
smaller figure shall appear in the final
and official returns of the census.
“I know' that every house in the city
will be visited, and I am in a position to
prove that this will be the case. We
cannot accomplish impossibilities, and
they should not be expected. With every
house visited, some of them several times,
with appeals to the citizens to assist us,
with every readiness to do anything and
everything that is reasonably feasible, w<s
cannot be held responsible for anything
more. If, after all this, the census of
Savannah’s population shows it be small
er than it should be or really is, the citi
zens of Savannah mus 4 hear the blame.
It cannot properly bo laid at our door.”
There has been considerable talk that
the De Soto had not been visited and the
names of its large number of permanent
guests, officers and servants secured. Su
pervisor Blun stated that as a matter of
fact the hotel had been twice visited by
the enumerator in charge of the district
In which it is situated, that on berth oc
casions he had been told that there was
no one in the office at the time who was
in a position to give him fully the infor
mation he sought and asked to call again.
The enumerator had a further engage
ment. with the managers of the hotel
yesterday, and in the afternoon, when the
supervisor was speaking, he thought it
very probable that the names of those
living at the De. Soto had been gathered.
There Is of course ground to fear that
the city’s population will not be repre
sented accurately h*’ the census. There
are so many who fail utterly to reilize is
importance or who. realizing, care noth
ing about it. to make it possible for every
individual of the city’s population to be
included in the returns. It is this that
makes the supervisor and his assistants
largely depemront upon tlie people of the
city and without* thrir aid the city will
not, in all human probability’, be dene full
justice.
No one need feel that because the enum
erators have made their returns that his
name, if omitted, cannot riow be placed
on the census rolls. A card to the super
visor will bring an enumerator and the
name will be counted. Supervisor Blun is
himself very anxious that this sort of as
sistance should be rendered him and is
bending every effort to make the census
full, accurate and complete.

The programme consisted of two songs

In the walk, which furnished the princi
pal part of the affair, there were ten en

Rafferty, C. J. White, Sam Brown, Charles
Pen field, Wiiliam Riley, Sam B. Smith and
George Johnson.
The performers were allowed each five
minutes of individual walking, and then
they walked in couples.
Many of the participants in the w*alk
were really excellent, and went through
ihe entire gamut of strides, steps and
prancings that are said by connoisseuers

After considerable deliberation the
judges awarded the prizes as follows.

AVI LENSKY HEARING FIT OFF.
Commissioner AVIII Hear Evidence
on Monday Afternoon.
The preliminary hearing in the case of
M. Wilensky, which had been set by
United States Commissioner Lewis for
yesterday afternoon, was postponed, upon
motion of counsel for Wilensky y until
the same hour on Monday’.
Wilensky had been arrested upon a war
rant issued by the commissioner for a
violation of the tw’enty-ninth section of
the bankruptcy law. It is charged that
he secreted from the receiver about $3,000
of the goods and assets of the Savannah
Shoe and Dry Goods Company, of which
he was the manager. The troubles that
this company has had in its efforts to re
lieve itself of the incubus of its debts
and the difficulty experienced by Wilen
sky in convincing the defunct corpora
tion’s creditors that his actions were
above reproach or suspicion are familiar
to the newspaper readers of Savannah.
It is understood that there is a compro
mise agreement in the air, and that the
creditors may possibly’ be induced to ac
cept a sum of money equal to 50 f per
cent, of their claims. Other compromises
that have been offered in the past have
been refused, and it is possible that this
one will also fail of acceptance.
NI VA' BE ALL-ABOUND THIEF.
AAillinm Stewnrt Arrested for Hav

William Stewart. colored, was arrested
yesterday by officer J. F. Williams, on
the charge of having stolen Cleveland
wheel 287,164, which was found in his pos
session and which he was trying to sell.
Stew’art attemped to escape from his cap
tor but was caught by a by-stander w r ho
was bitten and struck a number of time©
by the negro.
When searched at the barracks a num
ber of new’ ties supposed; to have been
stolen were found on Stewart, and it is
the impression of the defectives that the
prisoner has other stolen goods in hie
house. They think that it is quite pos
sible that the man may turn out to be
wanted for other offenses.
LARKINS A LUNATIC.
He NVn* Committed to Jail on the
Warrant of the Ordinary.
Jeff Larkins, a middle-aged negro, was

was sworn out by Thomas Odum, a
friend cf frhe man whose mind is said to
bo affected.

the violent form, assuming rather the
form of stolid apd stupid indifference to
everything that transpires about him. cou

and AA'ns Sentenced Within Hal?

Blake’* Former Criminal Record
Was Againnt Him,
Tom Blake, who snatched a pocket
book containing $35 in money and a num
ber of valuable papers from Che hand of
Mrs. W. M. Pearson, last Saturday night,
was indicted by the grand jury yesterday
afternoon, entered a plea of guilty to the
indictment and was sentenced by Judge
Falligant to serve ten years in the peni
tentiary.
Mrs. Pearson was shopping in the mar
ket when the crime was committed. Blake
appeared suddenly from the crow’d.
snatched the pocketbook from her hand
and ran, with a crowd of excited huck
sters and bystanders in hot pursuit. He
was captured and held by two other ne
groes, after a warm chase, and turned
over to the police. The pockeibook was
recovered and returned to its owner.
The rapidity with which the sentence
of the criminal io a long term in the pen
itentiary has followed his commission of
the crime is something remarkable and
unusual. From the moment of his ar
rest with the stolen goods in his hands,
he saw that it would be unavailing for
him to fight the case against him, and
expressed his willingness to plead guilty.
The indictment was sent down from the
grand jury room before that body had
completed its afternoon session, Blake ac
knowledged the corn and Judge Falligant
sent him to the penitentiary for ten
years.
Blake Is an old offender. Just before
coming to Savannah he had been released
from the penitentiary, after the expira
tion of a term of four years to which
he had been sentenced in the Superior
Court of Bibb county. The crime which
took him to the penitentiary on this oc
casion was the thefc of a valuable horse,
which he appropriated and forgot to re
turn.
AGREED TO LEAVE THE STATE.
Fonr Disreputable AVomen Aeeept
That Horn of a Dilemma.
Judge Norwood spent yesterday morn
ing’s session of the City Court in the
regular weekly trial of the misdemeanor
offenders who have accummulated in the
county jail during the week. There we©
a large number of them and the crimes
with which they were charged were many
and various.
Four women, Beatrice Kimball, Carrie
Swain, Jessie Smith and Lottie Hill, were
found guilty of keeping a disorderly and
disreputable house, and were sentenced
by the court to pay a fine of SSO and costs
each, or to serve a year on the gar.g.
Afterwards the sentences were ©uspend
ed, on condition (hat all of the women
shake the dust of the state from the r
feet and defile it no more. They gladly
entered into such an agreement, and with
this understanding were given a qualified
liberty.
John Small, a negro spotter, was found
guilty of larceny after trust. Small had
been advanced his expenses by Sheriff
Sweeny for the purpose of going to Beau
fort and locating Sam Green, a negro es
caped convict. Green was all the time in
the city and the spotter, when he found
him here, advised him to leave Savannah.
The escaped convict did so and Green
pocketed the money. Judge Norwood sen
tenced him to a term of six months cc
the chain-gang.
WiHiam Pointer got nn additional twelve
months in jail for an assault committed
by him upon one of the prison guards.
The jail bird assaulted and knocked down
the guard, while the latter was attempting
to lock him up in one of the cells.
A number of other prisoners were tried
and found guilty by Judge Norwood and
sentenced to terms of varying lengths on
the gang. The crimes with w’hich they
were charged embraced several forms of
larceny, vagrancy and carrying concealed
weapons. A large batch of recruits was
added to the county forces as a result of
this session of the court.
FIVE INDICTMENTS FOUND
At Second Scion of tlie Jnnc Term
Grand Jnry.
The grand jury of the Superior Court
met yesterday and returned five indict
ments, and in one ease failed to indict.
One of the indictments was against Tom
Blake, the pocketbook snatcher, who
plead guilty in court as soon as the in
dictment was presented, and was sentenc
ed to the penitentiary. All of the other
indictments, except one, were of colored
criminals. A number of indictments were
returned in which the names of the par
ties indicted were withheld.

Gentlemen—lt gives me pleasure to
heartily recommend ’’lnfant-Friend
Powder,” and to give to you a singu
lar little coincidence connected with
it.
During the Cotton States and Inter
national Exposition I was presented
with a little box of this powder, and
was so pleased with it that I was ex
ceedingly anxious to get more, but on
looking at the box I found nothing
but Savannah, Gn., no other address.
I have often wished I knew where
to get it. This morning’s mail brought
your circular with enclosed sample. I
immediately referred to my box. and
found it was the “Infant-Friend Pow
der/’ It is without doubt the best
powder I have ever used.
Respectfully,
MRS. Wm. KING.
