10 LOOKING OUT FOR HEALTH. CITY COUNCIL COVSIDKRED SAM TATION IN HOI SE DR AIM AGE, Decided Soli Pipe* >lnf Re nt Leant Four Inrlicft In Diameter and That They Must Extend Two Feet \love Roofs or Fifteen Feet From n Window or Door—Tlie Health Offi 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. Dnv> Been Sent to Parent* of Sol dier Dead of tlie 2nd Georgia. 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 ment to those whom, living, they tried to benefit and assist in every way possib’e during their service in the war with 6 pain.

The Union of Epworth Leagues of the several Methodist churches held a recep tion last night at Wesley Monumental Church. Representatives from all the leagues were in attendance, and the af fair was a great success. In that respect, 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. The reception was held in the Sunday school room of the church. Decorations of vines and palms had been arranged, and the room looked very attractive. Ta bles stool here and there, and at these delightful refreshments weer served. A pleasing programme of music, instru mental and vocal, and recitations was rendered.

Total Cost of That at Ka*t End of President Street $(1,42(1.04. The statement and assessments for the paving of President street from the west side of East Broad to the west side of Randolph were passed upon by the City Council yesterday afternoon. The ordi nance was introduced by the Committee on Streets and Lanes, was put upon its second reading by a suspension of the rules, and was adopted, the city attorney having first sworn -the director of public works, the city engineer and the city treasurer fo~ the verification of the state ment and assessments. The total cost of the paving, which is of vitrified brick, was $6,426.04, Of this | amount the Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope Railway will pay $1,029.83.

The Supervisor v n> He I* Bending Hi* Effort* to Secure Every Name and to See 'Mint I-bery House in tlie City I* A l*lted A Card From Those Who Four They Have Been Omitted Will Bring on Enu merator to Their Door*— 1 1 itlzen* Must Co-operate if Full .1 u*tlee to 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. RU ES AVILL GO TO BE AI FORT.

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 ing Stolen a Bicycle. 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 committed to jail vf©terday upon a war rant sworn out Judge Ferrill, charging him with lunacy*. The warrant was sworn out by Thomas Odum, a friend cf frhe man whose mind is said to bo affected. I/arkins’ madness seems not to be of the violent form, assuming rather the form of stolid apd stupid indifference to everything that transpires about him. cou p’ed wl.h a chronic indisposition to weir any other covering than that with which lie is provided by nature.

QUICK PI NISHMENT METED OUT TO POCKETBOOK SNATCHER. The Negro Who Grabbed Mrm Pear uon’i Purse in tlie Market Indicted l>y the Grand Jury. Pleaded Guilty and AA'ns Sentenced Within Hal? nn Hour From Hl* Indictment, to a Long Term in the Pen!tc*ntiary. 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. CITY BREVITIES. A meeting of Circle No. 10, of King’s Daughters will be held next Mondav otre noon, ot 5 o'clock, at the home of Miss Decker on Jones street, west. In the Court of Ordinary yesterday, let ters of administration upon the estate of Ann Carroll, were granted to M. A. O’Byrne. The box of Gen. Worth cigars offered by Mr. George W. Tiedeman as a prize in Barbee & Bandy's guessing contest at Isle of Hope last night was won by Mr. W. J. Floyd on a guess of 203, the nearest guess to the number of people on the pavilion. GOLF TOI RXAMEIMT TO-DAY. I,miles Will Have the I.lnks to Themselves for tl,e‘ Contest. A tournament will be played at the golf links this afternoon. The ladies will try for the prizes this time, gentlemen having monopolized the last three or four tourna ments.
